Improve your eating habits.
How many of us have been on diets at one or many times in our lives. Basically diets don't work. If you want to lose weight permanently ? adopt a healthy eating regime. Eat less and exercise more!1. Water.
If you're thirsty you're already dehydrated. The majority of us don't tend to drink enough during the day. If you drink a lot of tea and coffee to keep you going then these have a diuretic effect so you should be drinking water to compensate.Have a glass of water first thing in the morning and last thing at night ? your body loses a lot of water while you're asleep ? not only if it's warm and you sweat a lot but just going 8 hours (if you're so lucky) without food or drink it's going to be dehydrated.Dehydration can also be mistaken for hunger ? have a glass of water first before reaching for a snack or eating a meal.2. Fruit & Veg. Fruit and vegetables provide you with vitamins, minerals and fibre to help keep your body healthy.
Eat a piece of fruit or drink fresh juice for breakfast. Fresh berries on muesli or porridge or cereal. Have fruit as a snack during the day and salad and vegetables with your main meals.If you can, buy organic and wash fruit and vegetables before eating unless your peeling them. Pesticide residues are more likely to remain on the skin and fruits such as apples are often treated in storage.3. Avoid processed food.
With the increased reliance on ready-prepared meals, take-aways and convenience food to save time there is an increase in the amount of processed food that people eat.Before you buy that convenience meal ? check the label. How much sugar, salt, hydrogenated fat, E preservatives, colouring does it contain? Because it's processed ? a lot of the flavour and goodness is lost and has to be added. Because it needs to survive transport, increased shelf-life and cooking fats and preservatives are added. And how much does it really cost. Cooking simple meals such as stir-fries and casseroles are just as convenient and so much better for you.4.
Juice. One great way to kick-start your day and gently wake up your digestive system is to have a fresh juice every morning. I don't mean orange juice with your breakfast but fresh vegetable juices. Invest in a good juicer, buy local organic produce and find out how good fresh juice is.An easy recipe you can have every day is one apple, one carrot (peeled), stick of celery, cube of ginger and thick slice of lemon (remove rind).5. Fish.
Eat fish at least once a week. It contains healthy Omega 3 oils, which are good for your joints, and nerves. Flax and hemp oils offer an alternative for non-fish eaters.6. Eat regularly. Get into the habit of eating breakfast.
Your body has been without food over night ? break the fast with a glass of fresh juice (see above) and then a healthy bowl of cereal, muesli or porridge (avoid those loaded with salt and sugar). Try to eat every 2-3 hours ? little and often ? to avoid your blood sugar levels fluctuating too much. Don't eat a heavy meal late in the evening. Your body will naturally be slowing down at that time and food eaten late is more likely to be stored as fat.7. Alcohol.
There's nothing wrong with the odd glass of wine, in fact these days it's seen to be healthy for the anti-oxidants. Alcohol causes your kidneys and liver to work overtime to rid the body of the toxins.8. Know what you're eating. Be aware of the food that you're putting in your body. Read the food labels if you buy tinned, processed produce to be aware of how much salt, sugar and fat is in the food you buy.
Buy organic meat whenever possible to avoid the steroids, hormones and anti-biotics that are in factory farmed meat.9. Balanced diet. One of the most important ways to improve your eating habits is to have a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables, whole food, fish and meat, nuts and seeds. Everything in moderation. Keep fatty and sugary foods low but if you enjoy chocolate, cakes and curries there's nothing wrong with having one once in a while.If you'd like help in putting some structure in place to organise your time more effectively and get the most out of your day ? contact me for a consultation on info@clareevans.co.uk..

Well, according to the latest statistics concerning child health fitness (and my own observance of people where I live), there's a pretty good chance that he/she is.
I can't wait to hear from everyone who tells me that they are predisposed to be fat, or they have the "fat gene" (whatever that is), or they inherited fatness from their great great grandmother's 4th cousin.
Well, I call BS.
Is it possible that you have to work a little harder to lose some weight??.sure.
Will some of you have to go that extra mile to accomplish you goals???absolutely.
Is there ANY reason at all, no matter what shape you're in, to not get started on an exercise and fitness program??..HECK NO!
There is always time, there is always a way to get you and your family in the shape that you need to be in.
Parents, if your child is fat???..guess what, it's partially you're fault.
Yep, I said it.

Understanding your Metabolism
Our metabolic rate determines the rate at which we ?burn up' our food, and by increasing this rate, we can lose weight more quickly, easily, and safely.
When we diet, by decreasing our calorie intake too drastically, we cause our metabolism to slow down, making it progressively more difficult for us to lose weight. Most diets fail, yet we continue to try one after another, always hoping that each new regime will provide the ?magic' solution. If this sounds like your problem, there may be a simple answer. Let's look at why most diets fail, and how strength training, combined with a healthy food intake can speed up your metabolism, making it easy for you to lose weight.
By drastically cutting our food intake, our body's natural instinct is to switch to a ?starvation response.' The fewer calories we consume, the more our bodies become efficient at using these calories - leading to slower weight loss. This was once a useful mechanism for our ancestors...

Are You Building Your Own Cistern?
You're looking at one star in the middle of a dark sky...The star stands still while you fly up to it. As you get closer you see someone standing there holding an object. You can't see what it is so you move even closer. It's a cup that is almost vase shaped.You watch as the person pours some water into the top of it. -Before the person even finishes pouring the water is flowing out parts of the sides and the bottom!You watch the person get upset and go for more water to fill the cup.You're still watching but you slowly start to float back away from the star into space.
All of the sudden you stop and watch water float right by the star. It just continues to flow right on past this person that is still upset over the holes in the container...Do you realize that we humans are too good at fighting to do more to fix a problem -and yet sometimes we miss the flow of the best.God knew this and had it written for us in Jeremiah 2:13: For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken...

7 Rules that Guarantee Diet Success and Water
As a personal trainer at Bally's Total Fitness in Philadelphia, I have come across a number of people that claim to either be unable to lose weight or unable to stick to their diets. I personally think there is no one that is unable to lose weight and that most people that can not seem to lose weight often need just a slight adjustment in how they apply their diet.
There have been a large number of people that have, with my help, seen excellent results by making very slight changes in their diets. Sometimes it is nothing more than cutting back on a bag of potato chips; sometimes it is adding a real breakfast to their diet.
After a while I developed what I call "The 7 Rules to Eating Correctly." Tthese 7 rules were created to keep my clients on track with their diets. Whenever they would ask me why they had not been seeing the results that expected, I would ask which of the 7 rules had they failed to follow. From observation, I realized that anyone following...

Dr. Conrad Maulfair Reveals the Real Story About Cholesterol
Copyright 2006 In Touch Media Group, Inc.
"Contrary to popular belief, cholesterol is not fat," says Dr. Conrad Maulfair, director of the Maulfair Medical Clinic in Topton, Pa. "Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is produced by the liver and also ingested through foods we eat. It often has fatty acids contained in it and therefore it is considered to be fat, but it is not fat in and of itself."
According to Dr. Maulfair, up to 80 percent of cholesterol is used to make cholic acid, which is essential in bile salts that are in turn necessary for digestion and absorption of fat from the diet.
Additionally, cholesterol is used to make the hormones progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone.
There is also a significant amount of cholesterol in the skin that helps the skin to resist water absorption and water evaporation. The presence of cholesterol in the skin also helps to decrease the penetration of toxic agents such as solvents.

Don't Get Weighed Down by Temporary Water Weight Gain
Health and fitness go hand-in-hand. They are so intricately related to each other that even a small disturbance in one tends to directly affect the other! Health implies a lifestyle which is carried out in a balanced way and is aimed at leading a disease-free life. Fitness refers to the state of your body and mind
wherein both are stress-free and relaxed. Fitness is directly reflected in the way you look-- your body shape and size.
All of us dream of getting a beautiful figure.
But often, due to over-indulgence and a sudden increase in calories our body may
bulge in some areas due to an over accumulation of fat. This results in "cellulite" that is often stubborn and slow to react to any kind of treatment.
Many believe that becoming slim will decrease their weight. It is not true in all cases. Slimmer people can sometimes weigh more than apparently larger people due to the weight of their bones.
On the other hand,...
