P.O.R.N. Diets

I am coining this term as I feel some of the diets out there are so radical they need to be discussed in one place.

We here from our favorite celebrities daily and some of us live for this. We follow them on Twitter, talk about them on Bebo and MySpace or e mail each other about them especially when a new diet is talked about.

There have been some over the top radical diets in the past like the 'Air diet', not a very popular one for obvious reasons unlike the 'Chocolate' diet. Then there is the more main stream 'Atkins' diet or 'The Dash Diet' or even 'The South Beach Diet'. All have there plus and minus points and their advocates and nay sayers as well.

The trick when it comes to diets if there is a trick in selecting one would be to thoroughly research the topic. The mere fact that there literally are thousands of diets commercially available shown on television, billboards or even your local Chemist shop.

Here will be many, many articles pertaining to the topic of P.O.R.N. Diets circulating our media and your opinion on them is most welcome. Maybe you have been on one and would like to praise it or maybe warn others away from it. Whatever you may like to share, diet related, please do.

Are There Free Quick Weight Loss Programs Available

By Ron George

There are countless wellness services, diet pills and programs to help you lose weight, however, when money is tight, there are always free quick weight loss tips you can perform to save money and lose weight. Most of the weight loss tips one comes across can be integrated in daily life without interfering with regular activities.

Cutting out on those foods that contain most of the calories is one first step towards a slimmer body: say goodbye to carbohydrates. These foods include sugary snacks, sodas, bread, and potato chips. Eliminating the high carbohydrate foods will force your body to use up the already stored energy in your body, which is fat.

This will also boost up the metabolic rate and help to burn off the excess fat. Check labels to find out which foods are high in carbohydrates because to lose weight your daily intake should not be more than 10% of the daily foods you eat.

Another free quick weight loss tip is to do some sort of aerobic exercise each day as part of your routine. This can include a brisk walk around the neighborhood, a few jumping jacks, or a short jog. Any exercise that will increase the cardiac rhythm will also burn off excess calories and reduce your weight. Combining numerous exercises in a short period each day makes an ideal free quick weight loss idea.

If you want to commence a personalized free quick weight loss program, jot down all your daily activities in the form of a chart. This will assist you identify the things that have contributed to the weight loss you have achieved, and in the next few weeks, you can continue doing the exercises or food intake that works for you. Chart your daily weight, the exercises you perform and the foods you eat this not only gives you an idea of your lifestyle changes but keeps you motivated to keep losing the weight.

When choosing food for your free quick weight loss program, avoid the pitfalls of slick advertisers who put terms like low-fat or fat free on their products. Just because a product is low in fat, it doesn't mean that it will burn calories down or that it will be good for your health.

Did you know that a 6-ounce serving of yogurt that is low-fat has 120 calories. That is a excessive amount of calories in one small desert serving that is not sufficient in filling you up, and by all accounts will make you want to eat again. It is a better solution to eat an 8-ounce steak, that is full of protein, and which your body will burn off faster.

3 Simple and Easy Steps to Quick Weight Loss!

By Frances Norah Smith

If you are like others, you have certainly made a strong New Year's resolution to shed all those extra pounds of flab which bother you so much. This time you have promised yourself that you would really show off your new-found slim body much before the Valentine's Day! However, January is almost about to end and your body shows no signs of getting slimmer or lighter. Is the problem is with your diet, or something else? If you are confused and don't know the answers to these questions, this article is for you!

Making and breaking New Year's weight loss resolutions is nothing extraordinary; in fact I have done that many times myself and finally came to the conclusion that resolutions can do little if you are not willing to get started on the job! Yes, you should treat weight loss with the same effort with which you perform at your office!

Weight loss is not about starving for a few days, or following one fad diet for a couple of weeks and then hopping on to something more attractive! Weight loss can be attained only when you make a long term commitment to follow a healthier lifestyle!

Believe it or not, the first few days of your weight loss journey would probably be toughest, as you simply don't know whether you would be successful or not or if it is the right time to start losing weight, etc. Once you push yourself hard and sail smoothly through these first few days, you would be on a roll, shedding fat and losing weight non-stop!

What I am offering in this article is solid, practical advice which works for anyone; what I won't offer is suggestion for weight loss fads, since they have neither worked for me nor anyone else I know about!

1. Drive procrastination away by setting a realistic goal: The only thing that is keeping you from starting the weight loss journey is lack of a proper goal and target. You primary task should be to set a weight loss goal, and more importantly, the goal needs to be realistic!

Instead of wishing for a body like Brad Pitt or Jennifer Aniston, you could set a much more meaningful and achievable goal of losing "12 pounds by the end of March". Assuming that you would be getting rid of two pounds of weight per week on an average, that timeframe is more than enough for you to become as slim as you wish!

2. Fix your bad food habits: Controlling your portions is surely important, but even more crucial than that is to discard all the unhealthy, junk foods from your daily meals and import healthy foods in their place! To give you an example, try to have a glass of fruit juice instead of chocolates or cookies; this would satiate your sugar cravings but without making you any fatter!

Similarly, grilled chicken meat is healthier than its fried version. Additionally, instead of gulping down on dozens of soda cans, try to drink eight glasses of water per day!

3. Leave the couch: I know it sounds harsh but the couch is the biggest stumbling block in your way of successful weight loss and as such, you need to start detesting it right away! Leading an active lifestyle would not only help you lose weight faster but also make you more energetic!

If your local club sponsors outdoor sports, make sure you participate in them. If the club comes with a swimming pool as well, then that is an added advantage. Whether you play tennis or swim, you would be burning fat and losing weight either way! Dancing is also not a bad idea-how about joining a dance school?

4 Simple Steps to Reduce Your Calorie Intake Healthily!

By Frances Norah Smith

You have probably added a lot of extra annoying pounds to your body through unhealthy eating habits and now you want to get rid of those pounds as quickly as possible! There are several ways to achieve this goal. Most people tend to get attracted to 'shortcuts' such as fad diets which promise them quick weight loss! These fad diets literally make you starve with their abnormal food restrictions. While this may help you lose a few pounds of weight (which again is water weight and NOT fat that you need to lose), they could make your body weak and unhealthy!

People generally believe that the fewer calories they consume, the faster they would be able to lose weight. When these fad diets restrict their food intake to an abysmally low level, to the point of making them starve, they are not surprised because they believe this is the only surefire way to lose weight fast.

Now there is a BIG difference between food reduction and calorie intake reduction. It is true that in order to lose weight, you should control your calorie intake, but that doesn't mean you should eat less than normal!

If you want to lose weight healthily, here are four steps you need to follow:

1. Calculate your ideal body weight: Your ideal body weight would be the weight of a normal, healthy adult of your age. Once you know about your ideal body weight, subtract it from your current body weight and you would know how much weight you need to reduce to reach the ideal weight level. This can be easily done with the help of a tool called BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator.

2. Calculate your minimum calorie requirement: It is not as hard as you think. There are a lot of calorie calculators accessible for free online. You simply need to download one of them and calculate your minimum daily calorie intake requirements. This should be same as the calorie requirements of a normal adult of your age.

Now realistically you must not try to reduce your daily calorie intake to this level right at start as it is simply not possible, more so if you are either overweight or obese (that is, if your body weight is 200% or more than the ideal body weight). However this should give you a general idea of the daily calorie intake level you should strive for.

3. Know the bad and good foods: The third step is to know about the calorie contents of the foods you eat. Such information is frequently available for free online. You might be surprised to realize that you eat a lot of high-calorie foods and only a few low-calorie foods. It is time to set the balance right!

4. Cut down on your daily junk food intake: The last step is to set a daily goal of cutting down on your junk food intake by taking away one food at a time from your daily diet and replacing it with a healthier alternative.

Eventually you would be eating only healthy and organic foods and forget about junk foods! When that happens, your calorie intake would reduce automatically and you would lose weight fast!

Notice that not for one instant did I advise you to reduce your food intake; rather I recommended that you replace calorie-rich foods with their low-calorie alternatives. This is the right way to reduce your daily calorie intake WITHOUT starving!

Rumors, Lies and Quick Weight Loss

By James Redder

For people that need a Quick Weight Loss method, the bad news is that no system is perfect; losing those unwanted pounds is a good way to reduce those health risks associated with being overweight. There is more harm caused to an overweight person than just pride as many serious medical conditions are as a result of obesity.

You must not forget that the success of any Quick Weight Loss method will be as a result of the person using it as a correct attitude is paramount. Before you decide on how you intend to lose weight you need to decide if it is for your benefit; i.e. to remain healthy, or is it because someone else wants you to lose weight.

Many factors affect how well your weight loss program will go including how much physical activity you have during a normal day, the type of food you eat, how many meals you have and when those meals are eaten. Weight loss should not be achieved at a rapid rate so do not expect to lose thirty pounds each and every month because you will not achieve this and may create physical problems that often occur when weight is lost quickly.

Considering that one pound represents 3500 calories which can be burned or lost in a week, it means you need to get rid of 500 calories a day either through exercise or proper diet. Eating is a complex issue and although we all eat to many foods that have no health benefits, in fact quite the opposite, it is not a good idea to cut out every type of food we enjoy.

Another more subtle factor is the emotional reaction to stress and problems as many people simply start eating when they feel insecure or depressed. Bad eating habits are a real issue that can cause diabetes, cancer, various heart problems and high blood pressure. The psychology behind each persons weight gain is as important as the method of Quick Weight Loss used because if this is not addressed, there is nothing to stop the weight being piled back on faster than it was before.

However, current research is showing that people that do not take weight loss programs too seriously are more likely to have success. Being positive is one of the most important aspects in life as it can help us achieve things we did not believe possible. The great thing about weight loss is the extra energy you feel and how much more positive your outlook is to life in general which obviously has an impact on self-esteem as well.

Many Quick Weight Loss programs are far from it as they actually test the person using them but the pain barrier does not last long and once through it, the whole system becomes more pleasant.

Quick weight loss diets

By Lyle Neander

Quick weight loss is the goal of so many of us. But is it realistic to expect to achieve this either in the long term or the short term? The answer is an emphatic YES! but only by following some strict but achievable guidelines.

Firstly lets define quick weight loss. How much do you have to lose? How long did you spend putting on these extra pounds? How soon do you want to lose it? Weight loss of 2 " 5 pounds a week is quite achievable and this is the range you should consider to be quick. When diets promise weight loss of more than this you can be sure you will be losing more water than fat, and that water will return quickly to your weight. You need to lose fat, not water. How do you do it?

One key rule is that food is your friend. You cant succeed on a very low calorie diet or a very limited range of food, unless you happen to be a rabbit or a squirrel. Food is actually your best friend in achieving quick weight loss. Most likely the diet you have followed up to now is high in sugars, processed carbohydrates and low in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. It made you fat, and the right diet will guide you back to a healthy weight.

When I started looking for a good weight loss program I looked for one that allowed me to eat my fill and not starve. Extreme diets that starve you set you up for failure. Your body knows you cant survive on such low food intake so it goes into survival mode and slows down you metabolism to protect you for the famine your body is suffering. This stops any possibility of weight loss, quick or otherwise.

A quick weight loss program also ensures a balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates with plenty of fiber and essential nutrients. Proteins help your body kickstart your metabolism and are the building blocks of muscle. By contrast empty calories found in processed carbohydrates such as sugars are the building blocks of fat. No one ever got fat eating protein and fats. We all got fat eating tons of carbohydrates.

Sugar consumption is the USA reached 158 pounds of sugar per person per year in 1999. This compares with 70 pounds in 1973 and less and less as we go back in history. Its no coincidence that the massive increase in sugar intake has corresponded to an increase in diabetes and heart disease. All carbohydrates have the potential to increase your body fat levels and the more processed the sugars, the less fiber is present and the greater the insulin response of the body to them.

A quick weight loss program will also include a staged exercise program that will start where you are and build up from there. Exercise is a vital part of any weight loss program because it builds muscle which in turn burns more fat which builds more muscle . See how it works? Unless you exercise you will never achieve any sort of weight loss and no matter how obese you may have grown, there is some exercise you can undertake, no matter how small. If you have been very sedentary for a long time, you have to start with baby steps and build up from there. Get medical advice first if you are concerned but do something! The sooner you start the sooner you will achieve your goals.

Finally I like to recommend a weight loss program that includes a meal planner. This simplifies your task of losing weight because your weekly meals are planned for you and your shopping is made easy. The programs I recommend in my personal details include a meal planner and they work well from personal experience. Your goal might be quick weight loss and certainly losing up to 5 pounds a week qualifies for that description. If you have to lose 60 pounds understand that this will take 10 " 15 weeks depending on how dedicated you are and how much you have to change your lifestyle. You didnt get fat overnight. You wont get thin overnight either. I know I didnt but I did get slimmer week by week.

Remember that your goal should also be a healthy and sustainable lifestyle and all the good stuff will flow from that decision. Our society thrives on instant gratification but if you are going to succeed you must rise above that to set yourself achievable goals in reasonable time frames. The only place instant results happen is in cartoons and our lives are much more serious than that. You can achieve long term sustainable weight loss with sensible eating, exercise and a healthy frame of mind. The tools are in your hand. Only you can create your future. So go out and create it and make it a great one!
