Health & Diet Tip:

Sudden Change-Unlock Your Hidden Potential

Are you surprised, discouraged or perhaps even amused by those before and after diet ads that show people miraculously transformed in a matter of months? Well, while some of them are legitimate some are often not. I say they are not legitimate not in the sense that they didn’t work but rather how they go about it.

What they fail to mention is that often the models are tanned, pulling in their stomachs more than they were at first, and have their wardrobes slightly adjusted. That's what gives them that 'polished' look. Even if these things were not done there would be noticeable results I'm sure. My point? It is possible!

Then you often have the crash diet pictures where the models are often clothed. While harder to tell, probably most of these people have tried to lose the weight without any kind of physical activity whatsoever. If you could see them unclothed they generally would look like a smaller version of what they were before.

Most of the cases that I just mentioned in the second example are the ones who are more likely to put the weight back on than the ones who exercise. The more you put into it the more you get out of it. The less you change your lifestyle, the less you get out of it…

While I'm not saying you'll always have to exercise as much or even at all, it will help tremendously when starting out. What you want is the fastest, safest changes you can manage so you can get on enjoying life! Not too fast though, as with your eating program you want to be comfortable and enjoying what you're doing.

First you want to get into some kind of cardiovascular activity. This will help the greatest in burning fat. Here's a sample beginner program that you can try:

Week 1
Day 1- walking-20 minutes
Day 3- walking-25 minutes
Day 5- walking-20 minutes
Week 2
Day 1- walking-25 minutes
Day 3- walking-20 minutes
Day 5- walking-25 minutes and so on…

Keep this up until you are satisfied with yourself and/or your time constraints. You don't have to necessarily walk either. If you have or prefer a stationary bike for example you could use that.

Second, you need some type of resistance training. This will help you burn more calories at rest and will also help to shape your body so that you will create the illusion of a slimmer person by widening your shoulders and your outer thighs. This will help make your waist appear smaller. Again, here is a sample program:

Monday - Pushups, as many as you can for 3 sets. Side laterals, 3 sets of 15 repetitions

Wednesday - Lunges, 15-20 for 3 sets. Rowing, 3 sets of 15 repetitions

Friday - Bicep Curls and Tricep Presses, 3 Sets of 15 repetitions

You can do abdominal crunches as well after each workout. Try three sets of 20 but do not use any resistance. You don't want your waist any thicker! Incase you don't know, a repetition or rep for short is one performance of an exercise and a set is a group of repetitions. You can rest a minute or so between sets, usually when your breathing returns to normal.

To warm up before your exercises just stretch whatever muscle groups you are working and/or do some light cardiovascular activity for 5 minutes. This will get your blood flowing and your muscles warm. Since you are not training heavy or for really big muscles there is less risk of injury.

Any kind of resistance will do. You can use free weights, machines, soup cans, or rubber bands. Whatever is available to you and most convenient. Remember that pretty well anything will work if you use it!

There! Doing this program will ensure you greater success than if you didn't exercise at all. Since I mentioned some of the benefits elsewhere in the book I won't go through them again.

* It is possible to change your appearance in a relatively short period

* Those who exercise tend to keep the weight off longer than those who

* Cardiovascular activity is the most effective for immediate fat

* Resistance training is the most effective for long term weight loss

* Almost any exercise will produce results if you are consistent

HealthyBodyIdealWeight Featured Product - Beauty Is More Than Skin Deep

Our skin is the largest organ for the human body.

Did you know that?

Yet it gets neglected the most!

All our skin products are very concentrated so a very little goes a very long way.

So whether you are female or male, please remember that your skin, the largest organ in the human body, requires just as much care as your insides.

This from a close friend with a Science, and also a Beauty background, who researched the Company and 'all' of the Herbalife products 'very' carefully…

No matter what your age, you can look healthier and younger with good nutrition from the inside out.

Research has shown that by taking positive steps toward improving what you eat and how you look and think, you can help your body look younger for a longer period of time.

While wellness begins on the inside by nourishing your cells with the proper balance of vitamins, minerals and nutrients, it’s also essential on the outside of the body.

A glowing, radiant face and silky, smooth skin are all representations of total wellness. That’s why the products you put on the outside of your body should be as nourishing as the ones you take internally.

Editor’s notes & Humour:

Meditation has been scientifically researched and proven to have physiological benefits for decades. Besides its physical benefits, which include stress-relief, improved immune and cardiovascular function, relaxation, and decreased pain, the regular practice of meditation can lead to new insights about life issues (often resulting in the healing of past emotional trauma), heightened creativity, inspiration, greater compassion for others, and a greater connection to one's own inner guidance.

There are a wide variety of meditative techniques to choose from and, as with prayer, choosing the one that you are most comfortable with will provide the greatest benefit.

Meditation can be performed while sitting, lying down, or while walking or jogging. Some people also prefer singing or chanting a word or phrase that has spiritual significance to them. What all meditative techniques have in common is conscious breathing (see above) and a focus on what is happening in each present moment, until the mind becomes empty of thoughts, judgments, and past and future concerns.

A simple way to meditate is to sit comfortably erect with your eyes closed, while paying attention to your breathing.

Observe yourself inhaling and exhaling, allowing whatever thoughts you have to pass you by. In the beginning of your practice, you will find your mind wandering. Each time this occurs, gently refocus on your breath.

To improve your concentration, you can also silently repeat a word, or mantra, such as love, peace, or Jesus. Eventually, you will experience longer periods of silence between each thought, although it may take months before this occurs. Be patient and don't force matters.

Try to sit for 10 to 20 minutes once or twice a day, but if you find yourself too distracted or pressed for time, end your session, instead of sitting restlessly. With commitment and consist practice, the benefits of meditation will become apparent to you, and you'll realize your efforts are well worth it.

Classic Steven Wright

If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates!" His mind tends to see things a bit differently than the rest of us. Here are some of his gems:

I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Borrow money from pessimists - they don't expect it back.

42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.

The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.

OK, so what's the speed of dark?

How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.

I intend to live forever; so far, so good.

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.

Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.

Obviously it worked for ME, even though I'd long since given up hope and just 'survived' from day to day.

For 15 years I had learned to live with pain, depression and medication every day, and accepted it as normal.

Within 90 days... No more drugs for Muscle Spasm or Panic Attacks... Skin improved magically... Sinus problems disappeared... Energy increased dramatically... and as a bonus I lost 6.5kgs (14lbs) in 28 days... all helping to give me back control of my life.
