MOVE IT AND LOSE IT!

   Well, it's that time of year again.  Many people are either wanting to rid
themselves of those extra gained pounds that are accumulating during
the holidays, or they are ready to make another New Year's resolution
to get on that diet that they have been attempting to make work for the
past several years.

   The evidence is still around that exercise is helpful to increase and
stimulate weight gain, and to help maintain long-term weight loss.
According to the Journal of Nutrition, John M. Jacocic states that:

"it appears that exercise needs to be moderate to vigorous in intensity to significantly affect body weight. Moreover, it appears that improvements in fitness are associated with reductions in risk of weight gain. Physical activity also is associated with improved maintenance of weight loss."

It has also been shown that exercise, although extremely helpful, is not absolutely
necessary to lose weight.  To learn the mental aspects of weight loss, absolutely

Holiday Thinking for Weight Control

   Calories getting the better of you these holidays?  Re-think what
your body needs.

1.  Keep mental tabs on those calories that you are putting into yourself.
     You do not have to write everything down, but at some point you
     will know that you need to stop eating.

2.  Know that the food and "goodies" will be there in a few minutes, hours, etc. 
     You will not be going hungry.

3.  Drink water in between alcoholic drinks and food.  You will feel more full.
     Alcohol actually dehydrates the body, so water is good for you.

These are just a few more tips that can help you to stay in control.

Christmas Party Blues

Do you have the Christmas party blues?  That is when you find
yourself at a party going "I wish I could eat that, but it isn't on
my diet".  Well, I have some good news, don't go overboard on
the deprivation.  Enjoy the party.  Enjoy the food.  Just be a bit
sensible about what you eat and drink. 

First,  you don't have to eat everything that you see.  If you see
something that you want to try, take a taste.  Many things you
alsready know what they taste like.  Don't eat anything that you
think is just "okay".  Eat what you really, really enjoy.

Another thing, you never, ever have to finish eating what you
have in front of you.   If you start on a cookie, just take a few
bites.  A piece of cake can be eaten the same way - partially.
Stay aware of what you have been eating.  You can always
spend extra time in the gym, but it is certainly easier to just
eat in moderation.  Chances are, you will probably need to
see the gym a few extra hours any way.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER go to a party hungry.  Always eat
something before you go.  By eating before you go to the party
you will eat what you know is healthy.  You don't always know
what is being served at parties.  Most parties just serve snack
stuff and junk food.  If you go to a party that serves a meal, and
you know what you will be eating, then you can make the decision
about eating before hand.  If you know the person who is giving
the party well enough, you may be able to get them to prepare
your food in a different way (if it is not too time consuming).

Well,  enough for now.  Only 67 copies left before I must end my
free offer.  It is excellent weight control information - a mental approach.

Diet Now? Surely You Jest?

   It is almost Christmas.  Friends and family get together, music, religious observance,
good food, and if you are living in the right area, you will even have snow for Santa to
slide his sleigh over. 

  One of the biggest events (other than gift exchanges) is the food that is put in front
of us.  This is the time of the year that most all of us (including me) tends to put off
the "shackles" of eating right for enjoying most, if not all, of the food amenities that
go along with the season.  If you are trying to control or lose weight, now is not the time
to be too strict with your diet.  It is also not the time to abandon it altogether. 
Here are some ideas to help you keep your eating (and drinking) in check. 

  1.  Drink a glass of water 30 minutes before you eat.
      You have likely heard of this before.  It is a fact that many times when we think that
      we are hungry, that we are really thirsty.  The water will help make you feel full so
      that you will not eat as much.  Most of us don't drink enough water so this will help.

  2.  Make a mental note of what you are snacking on.
       Most of us do not pay attention to what we stuff into our mouths when there is
       food and snacks sitting out for us to grab whenever we choose.  Do not lose
       track of how many of those gingerbread cookies you have grabbed, or how
       many glasses of champagne that you have consumed.  I think I am safe in
       saying that the more glasses of champagne that you have, the more difficult
       it will be for you to keep track of your snacking.  If you pay attention to
       what you are snacking on, you will not eat as much. 

   3.  If you find yourself eating too much, walk away for 15-20 minutes.
        If you get away from the food for a few minutes, you can regroup and
        avoid the "grab and stuff" syndrome.  You will also give what you have
        eaten a chance to satisfy any hunger you may have had.  Unfortunately,
        many of us do not eat because we are hungry. but simply out of habit.
        So, "DRINK, "WATCH", and "WALK".   Identify when your eating
        habit is kicking in and you will be much more in control during the
        holidays.

            Don't forget my gift to my readers.  It is a weight loss manual for
        anyone wishing to control their weight.  I was going to sell it, but -
        it's Christmas.  This is free to the first 100 people.  It gives you free
        email consultations so I must limit this due to time limitations.

       The most important thing that you can do for yourself during this time is:

           HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS
     and a wonderful HOLIDAY SEASON!

       


                           


  

Holiday Health

It is the holiday season once again.  Once again we are all
confronted with many really tasty food and drink.  Only a
small portion of which is probably good for us. 

There is no problem having a little bit of the rich chocolate
cakes, and the cookies and chips and so on.   The key is
keeping the amount that we eat very small.  

Decide what is more important, staying healthy or enjoying
yourself to the point that you are injuring your health.

More To Come!

Is the "Missing Link" attacking your child?

If your child has an overeating problem, then British Researchers may
have found a clue to the cause. According to research, if there are some
missing aspects to certain parts of a child's DNA, then that child
will not produce the appetite-controlling hormone Leptin.

There is hope that this will provide some basis for further
studies and solutions to childhood obesity.

Broken Promises

Okay, I messed up. I broke my promise to myself about
Thanksgiving. I was going to lose weight not gain it.
I was going to eat moderately, and not
overdue the calories. Didn't happen. I "Pigged out".

I now must decide what I want to do. Do I stop eating,
work out 10 hours a day, or just live with the extra
calories?

I am sure that this is the scenario of many of you out there.
This is not the first time that I have been in this
situation, nor will it be the last. So, here are some
things that I plan on doing to offset those extra calories.

1. I will move more and stick to my workout schedule.
Easy as this sounds, many people do not adhere to
their workout schedule. Most people do not even
have a workout schedule. If you are one of these
people, please sign up for the information to your right.
I will be able to send you further information about
some simple workout methods that are designed to
melt away some of those calories.

2. I will go back to my normal way of eating. my normal way
of eating is to be careful of my food intake. I tend to
drink water with my meals. The water fills me up as much
as the food. I try to balance the fats and carbs. If I
have a hard workout, I can afford a few extra carbohydrates.

3. I limit my time on the sofa or couch. I stay active and
maintain as much movement during the day as possible. The
more that a person moves, the more calories they will burn.
This is simple physics. There are proper ways to lose weight
and then there are those "fly-by-night" fads. Here is a link
to some very good programs.

Incredible as it seems, just these few suggestions will help
anyone to lose those extra pounds that have accumulated over time.

Take care everyone. Eat healthy and exercise.

P.S. Get that information. I will be changing it soon and
this information will no longer be available. so

"TURKEY TUMMY"

Well, are you going to be one of those individuals who cannot
control how much you eat? No need to be one. Here are a few
tips from my "Thin Within" that might help you zap that weight
before it starts.

First, you must pay attention to what you are doing. Most of
us (myself included) will just find themselves grabbing things
and putting stuff in the mouth (light bulbs, silverware, ...no,
not really). It is easy to do unconscious eating. So, make
sure you are aware of what you are putting in your mouth.

Next, ask yourself if you are really hungry or if you are
going to just make yourself more uncomfortable? Often, we eat
and are not hungry at all. Be prudent and drink some water.
Speaking of which, drink a glass of water about 30 minutes before
you eat. That will take that "edge" off of your appetite.
We often confuse thirst with hunger anyway. My major DO NOT
for this holiday - DO NOT DIET! They do not work anyway.
You can find out why by filling out the boxes to your right (upper
right of the main blog page).

Have a GREAT Thanksgiving.

Bob

Consider This -

As the Thanksgiving holiday comes around (for those who celebrate)
thoughts turn to spending time with friends and family, and there is
much ado about what to fix.

If you are this year's host and are inviting guests, you may want to
find out if there is anyone on this year's list who has compromised
health issues such as diabetes, restricted salt, or is simply on a diet.
This may cause a bit more work, but it is also possible to reduce calories,
salt, etc. and make the meal more healthy for everyone.

In many cases, you don't need as much salt (or any). You can often
substitute low-fat milk for cream and still come out with great-tasting
deserts. Check and find out what you can substitute when you know that
something is not going to be healthy for any of your guests.

Most hosts want to make sure that every guest comes away with a
smile on his or her face. Make your Thanksgiving a day that your guests
will smile about for a long time.

Cook and Lose Weight!

Wow! If you are on a diet, or simply trying to keep unwanted pounds off,
then there here is something to check out.

There are many times that I have wanted to cook something, but I was
not sure that it was healthy, or was going to help me keep my weight
in check. I came across a cook book that does the "thinking" (so to
speak) for you. It is not only a really good cook book, but the recipes
are geared towards weight loss.

This cookbook is really great. It is authored by a personal trainer and
kinesiologist who worked closely with nutritionists and doctors to develop
this information.

Check it out here.

To your right you will notice that you can get
FREE information that will help you to

Fun Weight Loss Parent-Child Activities

Greetings.
In my previous posting I mentioned that I would give you some activites
that will burn off some calories and be fun. Well, true to my word, here goes.

One really obvious thing that you can do is to find a park, trail, or nearby
sidewalk to take a stroll on and move those legs and swing your arms.
You can play games with your child like jumping over sidewalk lines,
or sticks on the trail, or even (a real challenge at this time of year) leaves
on the ground. While you are walking, you can talk about nature, or
about some of the changes that have taken place in the area, or simply
talk about what interests you and your child. The important thing is
to keep moving.

If you have difficulty getting outside, then you might try tossing a ping-pong
ball to each other. Normally, I would not encourage playing ball inside,
but a ping-pong ball has certain qualities that others do not. It is very
lightweight and is not going to break or knock anything over.
It is also difficult to catch, so there will be a lot of chasing the ball around
which amounts to a lot more calorie burning. You can also play "Hand"
ping-pong where you hit the ball to each other with an open palm. This is
even more challenging.

I hope that you liked these ideas. I am going to put together more of these
ideas so that you have them in one place rather than having to search
through a number of blog posts. You will be able to download them all in
one "click" of your mouse. I will keep you posted (no pun intended).

Until later,

Bob

Reduce Your Stress!

Studies have shown for a long time that exercise reduces stress levels.
There are many health benefits to exercise. Exercise can reduce
cholesterol levels and even fend off certain types of diabetes.

If you are not exercising now, you should be. You don't need to
do hours and hours, just 15 to 30 minutes each day can reap
you many rewards.

If you need to lose weight, couple your exercise program

Obama and U.S. Healthcare

While I like some of the things that Obama is up to, this health
care plan gives me pause. It was quickly put together, no one in
Congress has read it, Obama has not read it, and there seem to be
too many "loose ends".

John David Lewis, a university professor actually took the time to
read the bill. He is not in politics and has no "axe to grind" in
any direction. He just wanted to know how it would affect him and
his family. Here are a few of the things that he found:

Medical Care Rationing: (ii) EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN READMISSIONS.
—For purposes of clause (i), with respect to a hospital, excess readmissions
shall not include readmissions for an applicable condition for which there are
fewer than a minimum number (as determined by the Secretary) of discharges
for such applicable condition for the applicable
period and such hospital.

‘(A) APPLICABLE CONDITION.—The term ‘applicable condition’ means,
subject to subparagraph (B), a condition or procedure selected by the Secretary.

‘‘(E) READMISSION.—The term ‘readmission’ means, in the case of an
individual who is discharged from an applicable hospital, the admission
of the individual to the same or another applicable hospital within a time
period specified by the Secretary from the date of such discharge.

‘‘(6) LIMITATIONS ON REVIEW.—There shall be no administrative or
judicial review under section 1869, section 1878, or otherwise of— . . .
‘‘(C) the measures of readmissions . . .

EVALUATION OF THE PASSAGES:

• This section amends the Social Security Act

• The government has the power to determine what constitutes an

“applicable [medical] condition.”

• The government has the power to determine who is allowed readmission
  

into a hospital. This determination will be made by statistics:

when enough people have been discharged for the same condition,

an individual may be readmitted.

• This is government rationing, pure, simple, and straight up.

• There can be no judicial review of decisions made here. The Secretary
  

is above the courts. The plan also allows the government to prohibit hospitals

from expanding without federal permission: page 317-318.

Energy

Keep your energy up. I have noticed that I actually have more energy
after I have worked out or have been very active. The less active that
a person is, the less energy they seem to have. I have noticed for myself
that when I tend to get lazy, I find myself doing less and less physically.
I have to focus and push myself to stay active sometimes. This is the
only way that I can stay in decent shape and keep my weight down.

I lost over 40 pounds almost that many years ago and made the
determination that I would not become heavy every again.
So far I have kept my promise to myself.


Bob

Taxing Your Sweet Tooth

Well, I have just about heard everything. Yes, many people are overweight.
Yes, it is a burden on the health care system and the economy. Yes, many
of these overweight individuals have, or are, still doing battle with
weight loss issues.

What is beginning to really get to me is all of the new legislation
that this Obama administration is trying to force down our throats.
I was okay for a while with Mr. Obama, but now he is going too far.

How many of you out there know that this administration is considering
a tax on sugar? If they get their way, eventually everyone will be getting
taxed on anything that this government decides will contribute to getting,
or keeping people fat. Now they are telling us how and what to eat.

On top of all of our other REAL problems the government is now
pulling this stunt. It may not be something to worry about yet,
but if you are (even slightly) offended by such a thing you may want
to contact your representatives.

I would really be interested to hear what you think about the Sugar Tax
or Beverage Tax?
readers out there to find out what you think.

Come in Control Center

Staying in control is not the easiest thing to do in many cases.
Trying not to deliberately ram into the slow poke in front of you
who is driving all of 17 miles an hour in a 55 zone. Or, waiting in
a grocery line while the "mentally infirmed" shopper is trying to
remember their pin number at the register, and you are next in
line and can't really get out of the way of things. These are life's little
irritations that we can't do too much about.

What we can do something about is what we do in our lives.
Maybe we want to learn a new language, or learn how to swing
a golf club properly. Maybe we want to take up martial arts or
expunge (lose) 50 or 100 pounds of fat tissue from our body.
If we focus on ourselves we can get things done in our lives which
will in turn can have a positive effect on others.

I lost over 40 pounds 37 years ago and have kept it off. I have
worked with people for over 35 years helping them to achieve their
weight loss goals, and in the past 8 years I have been working in
virtually all areas to help people change their live for the better.

It all begins by focusing on yourself. Then deciding what needs
to happen. Make the decision to do it, plan for it, create your
"roadmap" so you know what things need to happen and when,
and then "shoot yourself out of that cannon". You need to be
committed to yourself and your goal. The only way that you
won't reach what you want is if you give up before you get there.

A great cook book that is designed to help you lose weight
can be found at Health Urban Kitchen.

Laughing to Lose

I came across some really interesting research recently.
It seems that by laughing a lot you can burn off calories.
It makes sense. So if you are overweight you may want to
try your local comedy club a couple of times a week.
Just don't get sucked into the drinks and desserts.

Weight Loss Fireworks

It is the the 4th of July holiday weekend coming up. Don't let
the holiday add any more pounds.

1. Watch and pay attention to what you are eating. You don't
have to eat everything that comes your way.

2. Take low-calorie snacks with you to your party (veggies are always good).
Watch the cookies, chips, and Cheetos).

3. Limit the beer and other caloric alcohol. If you are driving, this
suggestion becomes imperative. There are many calories in beer.

4. Have fun. You really can have fun. Socializing, friends, fireworks,
what's not to enjoy?

Bob Bates M.S.

If you are in need of an excellent
weight loss program, here are
several that I suggest. Click Here.

Easy Fitness

Here are just a few tips that are really
easy to incorporate into your daily routine
and will help you to burn more calories.

1. Don't sit down when you first get in the door.
Most people go right to the couch or chair when
they get home. You are NO LONGER "most people"
What you are NOW going to do is to take a walk
around your house and if you are ready to read your mail,
stand and read it (you are burning calories by standing).

2. Have you ever thought about leaving your remote on,
or by, the T.V.? Okay, so it doesn't make sense to
have the remote if you leave it there. How much sense does it make to
eat that bag of chips, or those cookies, or that caloric drink?

3. When you are sitting and watching T.V. or reading, you can
simply raise your leg off of the ground like you are stretching.
alternate with each leg. Then try both at the same time.
Your tummy will love you for it.

Weight Loss and Your "Drama"

Hi everyone.

Do your emotions get in the way of you sticking with your program?
If so, here are a few things that may help.

1. Pay attention to your emotional state. This is when you will most
likely be the most susceptible to just grabbing and stuffing.

2. Whenever you feel stressed, for whatever reason, take a few
moments to sit or lie down and take a few deep breaths.
The more relaxed you can get your body, the more clearly
will you mind be able to organize your thoughts.

3. Take notice of the time that you DO want to eat. You may find
that you are just bored, tired, unhappy, or whatever. These are
NOT reasons to eat.

If you want more weight loss information, grab your copy of
"The Thin Within". This gives information about how you can
get yourself mentally prepared for weight loss. It also gives

Lawn Exercise

Whoever said that you can't get a great amount of exercise
at home? I just finished mowing and I KNOW that I burned
a bunch of calories. I use a push gas mower that has the
self-propelled function which I don't use. I also run with
the mower when I am on a somewhat level surface.
I have very hilly terrain and about 2 acres to mow.
Mowing can be GREAT exercise.

What is Success?

Success is measured differently depending upon your life and interests.
One thing that holds true is that success is not just one BIG thing but
can be many small things. Getting the laundry done, finishing a paper
that is due for school, or just getting up in the morning when
you are tired.

What makes success happen is that we do what it takes
to finish what we start. If we don't finish, we don't accomplish.
If we don't accomplish, we can get complacent.

Don't let yourself or your desires go to waste. DO SOMETHING
AND FINISH WHAT YOU START!

What Does It Take To Change?

What does it take for a person to change their habits?

I have a friend who underwent major heart surgery a few
years ago. He vowed that he would quit smoking and begin
eating healthier. After getting out of the hospital the doctors
told him that he would be back if he did not change his ways.

He swore that he was going to stop smoking and begin eating
healthier. It is about two years later and he is back to
2 packs-a-day and frequents the fast-food places.
"It is just more convenient". I always ask him,
"How convenient are your cigarettes?"

In effect, this man's life is threatened and he is
unwilling to help himself. He really does not believe that
he will end up in the hospital (or dead) again. He feels too good.

We may want to lose weight, make extra money, or stop
procrastinating. Whatever it is that we want to do we
need to step up and actually do something. Getting ourselves
to actually move in some direction takes motivation. It is
important to find that motivation. Even more importantly,
unlike my friend, we need to KEEP that motivation!

How do we keep it?  We need to stay focused.
Know what you want.  Remember why you want it.
Keep constant reminders of your goals.

Motivation

Everyone is motivated by something. Whether you are
wanting to get good grades, make more money,
or lose weight, there is something that can spur you on.

There are two basic types of motivation. One is intrinsic.
Intrinsic is what come from within you. A natural desire
to do better, hunger, fear, feelings of self-worth, are all
examples of intrinsic motivation.

The other is extrinsic motivation. This is motivation from
the outside. Someone else being your cheerleader. Your
teacher or coach telling you that "you can do it".

Both have their place but, it is very important to learn how
to be self-motivated. What happens when your cheerleaders
are no longer there or available for you?

Look to yourself. Find what matter to YOU.

Weight Problems?

Past Weekend Fun

Well, hopefully, everyone has survived all of the eating and drinking that usually comes with
holiday fun. I sincerely hope that those who are watching their weight were able to keep things
in check. If you didn't, there is no need to "beat yourself up". You now have a new start.
Remember, each day that you wake up is a new start. It is important to appreciate this fact.

DON'T LOOK NOW!

Just a quick tip for those of you that are trying to lose weight and are dieting.
With the holiday just ahead, it is going to be a challenge to keep our eating
in check. Just remember, we really do not need all of the extra cakes, sodas, and
things that are "hollow" in nutrition.

One thing that you don't want to do is to keep looking at your scale every day.
Some think that this will help be a motivator, but I find that is not the case.
Remember the old saying "A watched pot never boils", well, neither does
reading a scale every day help your weight to fall off.

Smile, and keep your mouth closed when you are around the junk foods.

In Your Face!

5/22/09

Well, it is almost Memorial Day and there will be food, drinks, more food, snacks,
more food, and so on. Since the food is there, and is not likely to go away anytime
soon, if you are trying to watch your weight, you may want to remember that you
can always go back. It is okay that you only eat small portions at a time that just
make you comfortable, and not stuffed. Eating too much causes a multitude
of problems.

One of the immediate difficulties is heartburn. If you go out to eat and there is
more on your plate than you want (and there usually should be), it is perfectly okay
to get the rest of your meal "to go". I know that there are some of you that might
not think it appropriate to get a "doggie" bag when you are out to eat, especially
if you are at an expensive restaurant. I think that if you are eating an expensive
meal that it is all the more reason to take it with you. If you don't agree,
that's okay. I won't tell you to "get over it", at least not yet.

So, I wish everyone a great holiday. Just be mindful of what goes "In Your Face!"

I am now on "Twitter". It is different, but fun. I twitter at bobb111

NEW! EASY WEIGHT LOSS PILL

Well, I am sure that I might have gotten someone's attention.

They actually do have pills that will help people to lose weight. They are
called "water pills". You will lose water weight, not "fat" weight.
The only way to actually lose weight is to reduce the number of calories that
are taken into the body. Many books have been written about how to do this.
Some methods are better than others. Weight loss is one of those things
that can be done really effectively, or it can actually do more harm than good.

When we go on some form of weight loss program, it is important to
understand that, in addition to water, if we are not eating and drinking
the right things, then we can lose muscle instead of the fat. The correct
kinds of proteins must be put into our body so that we keep our
muscle mass intact.

Feel free to leave your 2 cents!

Weight Loss Walking

Walking Tips

One thing that I do when I go out walking is to try to make
it more interesting by walking in different places, or in
different directions. Sometimes I try to walk in a direction
that is out of the way. It only usually gives me more exercise.
Most of us know the terrain and where we can comfortably
and safely walk. It is always nice to try out and see new things.
So next time you go walking, simply step out of the door
and pick a direction. Make walking more enjoyable and fun.

If you have information or tips that you feel will be helpful to
people that are trying to keep their weight under control,
please feel free to leave your comments.
