Planning Meals For Your Slimming Programme By : SureSlim UK One of the most daunting things about starting a slimming programme is planning what you're going to eat. It doesn't have to be as hard as it seems though. Most meals are simple to make, especially if they are using healthy, fresh ingredients. Forget boiling your vegetables to death and eat them raw, or lightly steam them if you want them to be hot.

The Subconscious Control Of Your Diet And Weight Loss By : Kelly Burris What determines human behavior and in particular your eating behavior? I have yet to come across a psychiatrist, psychologist or physician who can answer this question, yet this is the most fundamental question if you wish to initiate lasting permanent behavior change.

Holiday Table Strategies By : Joey Dweck It’s that time of year again and for most of us that will mean rounds of parties, get-togethers and holiday dinners.

When planning... Safe Weight Loss Part 1. By : David McCarthy Safe weight loss is about maintaining health whilst losing weight, it is not about losing weight rapidly; this has never worked and never will.

Abdominal Exercise And Weight Loss By : David McCarthy Abdominal Exercise When most people start on a weight-loss regime the first thing they wish to attack is their waistline.

Low-Carb Diet, Should I or Shouldn't I? By : James Ellison It's no wonder that confusion reigns when it comes to the worth and reliability of low-carb diets after all the conflicting studies and confusing interpretation of the information. It's no wonder that confusion reigns when it comes to the worth and reliability of low-carb diets after all the conflicting studies and confusing interpretation of the information. It seems like debates are popping up everywhere! No matter if it's Atkins, South Beach or some other low-carb plan, there are approxim Time To Take Control Over Those Food Cravings By : Marie Gordon One of my greatest problems with the control of my weight is the fact that so much self disipline is needed to achieve any tangible results. Ah, but I hear you saying, "Whats new about that" We all have that problem! Tell us something new! Well yes we do all know that that is the biggest problem is it not. Lets face it, eating is one of life's greatest pleasures, and we would be pretty abnormal if this was otherwise. After all, most of us are "regular" people. How many ... Daily Calorie Intake Control By : David McCarthy Your ideal daily calorie intake depends upon various factors such as your age, activity level and whether you are trying to lose, gain or maintain weight. During the past two decades obesity has doubled in the United States and much the same is true of other countries. If people do not start taking action now they will experience reduced life expectancy. It doesn't matter how big you are most can afford to lose some weight, even a modest loss of ten pounds has tremendous h... Weight Loss Issues-Can You Be Cellulite Free By : Marie K Gordon One thing I really must say at the outset of this article is, that if you were to ask the majority of men to define cellulite they would most probably be completely baffled. Then after you explained it to them in detail and told them that you suffered from it, more likely than not the reaction would be to look at you as if you were slightly mad, shrug their shoulders and say that they had actually never noticed it. So one consolation I suppose, is that most men appare... Dieting: I Can't Afford To Lose Weight! By : Virginia Bola, PsyD When it comes to our weight, our emotions reign supreme. We so desperately want to be more attractive, more respected, and more desirable. We will even subject ourselves to painful and sometimes dangerous surgery to bring our reality closer to our ideal. And we will rob our piggy banks, deplete our bank accounts, and run up our credit cards for anything that promises us a slender future. Diet: Facing Lousy Choices By : Virginia Bola, PsyD If you truly want to control your weight, you can do it anywhere. The key is never to eat until you've had a lengthy internal dialog with yourself that forces you into a full awareness of your food intake and then select the lesser of all evils and consume it as slowly as you can manage. Even trapped in the office with nothing more than a killer vending machine, you can turn bleak choices into a self-esteem building triumph. Life Is One Damn Diet After Another By : Virginia Bola, PsyD Allowing ourselves to think of a diet as a delineated, restricted period within our total life span is a sure avenue back to tent city (that refers to what we wear, not where we live). To have any hope of attaining permanent weight control, we must approach it as a lifelong effort, watching our intake day after day, week after week, year after year. Weight Loss At Work: Non-Food Rewards By : Virginia Bola, PsyD Food seems to be the perennial favorite for any kind of work reward because it is universally accepted. Some of us (we hard core dieters) may pass on the sweet stuff but usually find something allowable. In a world where two thirds of us are overweight or obese, is there nothing else available as a gift that cuts across all individual interests? Five specific non-food rewards are suggested. The Psychology Of Diet Preparation By : Virginia Bola, PsyD We decide to lose weight because of any number of reasons: we don’t like the way we look, our clothes don’t fit, our health is in danger, our significant other is wandering, our job is at risk, or our kids are embarrassed. We tend to think of weight loss as something that involves only our body; surely no one ever decided to lose weight because of a fat brain or a bloated mind. Yet “we decide” is a mental function. The actual size of the body does not trigger the decision to lose weight, such a choice in made in the brain. The Diet Bore. By : Virginia Bola, PsyD You probably know a diet bore: there's at least one in every office, every group, and at every get-together. It's almost always female - men lose weight too but don't seem to feel the same compulsion to convert the entire world. Blame it on our innate female need to change everyone else. Weight Loss: Tweaking Your Lifestyle By : Virginia Bola, PsyD Despite our national propensity to overeat, under-exercise, and grow steadily heavier and more out of shape, we all yearn to be slender, fit, and attractive. Our culture rewards the thin and the beautiful; look at how we devour celebrity gossip, mesmerized by the looks and energy of our current favorites. Why the discrepancy between our aspirations and our reality? There are a plethora of reasons, most of which can be traced to the simple fact that life gets in the way. Weight: Give Us Something To Shoot For By : Virginia Bola, PsyD We have all seen the new Dove commercials that feature “real” women rather than the impossibly “ideal” models that are usually selected. While the Dove girls are universally attractive and fit, they also reflect different sizes and shapes, designed to represent the average American woman. Is that what we want? The Holidays: An Emotional Feast By : Virginia Bola, PsyD Why are November and December so toxic to our weight control efforts? Certainly there is abundant food available during the month long celebration from Thanksgiving to New Year. It is the season for non-stop parties and gifts of food from colleagues, friends, family, and customers.But more than just the food, there is a special atmosphere that descends on the Western World at the end of November. Weight: The Thanksgiving Hangover By : Virginia Bola, PsyD We all need brief periods of self-indulgence - it's part of the human condition. Expect a setback on your weight loss goals and let that knowledge mitigate your disappointment. Then continue on your diet with the assurance that a special occasion blip doesn't define your future. Enjoy the memories of a family gathering while carefully planning your next week's intake. You’ve lost the Weight, but how clean are you on the inside where it Counts? By : Foras Aje Everyone wants to be slim and toned, but most people are unaware or are just negligent to the importance of being clean on the inside as well, that should be of the most importance. Fasting: The “Fastest” Way to Lose Weight By : Foras Aje In this day and age when we all want to be slim or slimmer as the case may be, one sure-fire method to attaining this universal goal along with the added benefits of physical fitness and virility, mental alertness and internal cleanliness will be the tried and true practice of a Fast.
