The Truth About Fast Weight Loss

WEIGHT LOSS POP QUIZ: What are 3 things that ALL 8 of these advertisements have in common?"Burn 30 lbs in 3 weeks - no diet!""Lose 9 Pounds Every 11 Days!""Lose a pound a day without diet or exercise!""Lose 2 pounds a day without dieting!""Lose 30 pounds In 30 Days!""Lose 20 lbs in 3 weeks!""Burn 30 lbs in 25 days!""Lose 10 Pounds This Weekend!"ANSWER: (1) They are all FALSE, (2) they are all DECEPTIVEâ€¦I just did an Internet search for "how fast should you lose weight" and these are just a small sample of ACTUAL ADS that are running this very moment. They sure are enticing, aren't they? They play on your emotions and on your desire for instant gratification.But did you know thatâ€¦(3) these claims are all actually ILLEGAL, says the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)"We have known for some time now that there is a serious problem with weight-loss product advertising," said FTC Chairman Timothy J. Muris. "Reputable marketers continue to take care to avoid false and misleading claims, but it appears that too many unscrupulous marketers are making false claims promising dramatic and effortless weight loss to sell their products. It is not fair to consumers; it is not fair to legitimate businesses, it is illegal, and it will not be tolerated."You might be asking, "Ummm, if it will not be tolerated, then why do we keep seeing these ads?" Ah yes, well, God bless the Internet, On Google, you can put up an ad and have it showing in 15 minutes. You can then have it taken down just as fast. Same goes for websites. The FTC couldn't keep up with OFFLINE false advertising, how are they possibly going to keep up with it ONLINE??? And it's only going to get worse.There's only so much the FTC and other consumer watchdog organizations can do. It's up to YOU to educate YOURSELF and know the red flags and warning signs of bogus weight loss claims.Here's what else the FTC says about why these types of advertising claims are so damaging: * "The deceptive promotion of quick and easy weight loss solutions potentially fuels unrealistic expectations on the part of consumers. consumers who believe that it really is possible to lose a pound (of fat) a day may quickly lose interest in losing a pound a week." * "The proliferation of "fast and easy" fixes undermines the reality of what it takes to lose weight. People who need to lose weight are buying empty promises."I believe that the weight loss education industry has been knocked a few steps backward in the last few years due to (1) the internet and (2) the horrendous reality TV shows that actually encourage people to attempt "extreme" body makeovers or see who can lose weight the fastest. The winners (or shall we say, the "losers", as if that's a flattering title to earn), are rewarded generously with fortune, fame and congratulations.These shows are damaging and despicable. I'm shocked that so many millions tune in and I'm even more surprised how many people think this garbage is "inspiring."Let's face it. Everyone wants to get the fat off as quickly as possible - and having that desire is not wrong - it's simply human nature. Patience is the one thing you never seem to have when you've got a body fat problem. You want the fat gone and you want it gone now!Like the FTC said, with what we see on TV these days and with web page after web page of fast weight loss claims, you actually start to believe it's doable and you're no longer interested in a healthy 1-2 lbs weight loss per week. In fact, you even see people with your own eyes losing weight incredibly fast. How do you deny it's possible when you see THAT?Well, the answer comes to you when you expand your time perspective and see where those people are 6, 12, 18 months from now. Deep in your heart, you KNOW the answerâ€¦The faster you lose weight, the more muscle you will lose right along with the fat, and that can really mess up your metabolism.An even bigger problem with fast weight loss is that it just won't last. The faster you lose, the more likely you are to gain it back. It's the the "yo-yo diet effect" - weight goes down, but always comes back up.What Really Matters Is Not How Much WEIGHT You Lose, But How Much FAT You LoseWhere did your weight loss come from? Did you lose body fat or lean body mass? "Weight" is not the same as "fat." Weight includes muscle, bone, internal organs as well as lots and lots of waterâ€¦Don't Be Fooled By Water Weight LossesOne thing you should also know is that it's very common to lose 3 - 5 pounds in the first week on nearly any diet and exercise program and often even more on low carb diets (because low carb diets deplete glycogen and every gram of glycogen holds 3 grams of water). Just remember, its NOT all fat - WATER LOSS IS NOT FAT LOSS - AND WATER LOSS IS TEMPORARY!The only way to know if you've actually lost FAT is with body composition testing. For home body fat self-testing, I recommend the Accu-Measure skinfold caliper as first choice. Even better, get a multi site skinfold caliper test from an experienced tester at a health club, or even an underwater (hydrostatic) or air (bod pod) displacement test.From literally hundreds of client case studies, I can confirm that it's rare to lose more than 2 to 3 lbs of weight per week without losing some muscle along with it. If you lose muscle, you are damaging your metabolism and this will lead to a plateau and ultimately to weight relapse.The Biggest Weight Loss Mistake That Is FATAL To Your Long Term SuccessLack of patience is one of the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to losing body fat. If you want to lose FAT, not muscle, and if you want to keep the fat off for good, then you have to take off the pounds slowly (of course, if you want to crash diet the weight off fast, lose muscle with the fat and gain all the fat back later, be my guest!).This is one of the toughest lessons that overweight men and women have to learn - and they can be very hard learners. They fight kicking and screaming, insisting that they CAN and they MUST lose it faster.Then you have these TV shows that encourage the masses that rapid, crash weight loss is okay. To the producers of these shows, I say SHAME ON YOU! To the personal trainers, registered dieticians and medical doctors who are associated with these programs, I say DOUBLE SHAME ON YOU, because you of all people should know better. These shows are not "motivating" or "inspiring" - they are DAMAGING! They are a DISGRACE!The rapid weight loss being promoted by the media for the sake of ratings and by the weight loss companies for the sake of profits makes it even harder for legitimate fitness and nutrition professionals because our clients say, "But look at so and so on TV - he lost 26 pounds in a week!"Sure, but 26 pounds of WHAT - and do you have any idea what the long term consequences are?Short term thinkingâ€¦ foolish.Do it the right way. The healthy way. Take off pounds slowly, and steadily with a sensible lifestyle program like my Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle system that includes the important elements of cardio training, strength training and proper nutrition.Measure your body fat, not just your body weight, and make this a new lifestyle, not a race, and you will never have to take the pounds off again, because they will be gone forever the first time.Tom Venuto, author ofBurn The Fat Feed The MuscleFounder & CEO ofBurn The Fat Inner Circlehttp://www.bodyfatburnonline.comReleated:Low Carb Weight Loss

Swimming - Is It The Answer To Getting In Shape?

Whenever you start thinking about starting a new fitness program, you have to consider which type of cardiovascular workout to do. One option is to do a combination of exercises, taking advantage of the types of exercise you like to do. A cardiovascular workout offers such benefits as improved heart health and more energy. There are a number of indoor and outdoor activities that can help to get your blood circulating. One kind of cardio exercise that you may have missed is swimming and we will now look at how you can get started and what the benefits are.Swimming is usually considered to be a great all around exercise since you're able to work most of your muscles with no stress due to being supported by the water. Try running as a form of cardio workout but you need to exercise caution, even with proper footwear, that you don't put a lot of strain on your joints. However, it is the case that numerous types of cardio exercise can cause minor strains and at times longer term stress on the body. With swimming, though, this is not a problem and, for this reason, you'll oftentimes see professional athletes take up swimming to help them stay fit while recuperating from an injury.Beginning a swimming program involves little in when it comes to preparation or planning. When it comes to swimwear, you'll have to purchase a quality outfit as well as some goggles and a swim cap, if you want. Next, you'll need to locate a pool where you can swim your lengths with no interruptions. As soon as you are ready to start your swimming exercise program, you'll need to go two to three times per week in order to make the best progress.You can try different swimming strokes to help you keep your interest and to work on various areas of your body. For example, there may be days when you swim as fast as you can and other days when you want to do short sprints interspersed with fast swimming. You also have the choice to use different swimming strokes and even add swimming aids to your routine as you become more experienced.If swimming is part of your cross training fitness regime, try to create gym workouts that will assist you with your swimming techniques. By directing your focus on your efforts on certain muscles and flexibility, your swimming technique will improve and, together with it, your motivation to continue your swimming exercise regime. One other benefit you can anticipate is having a swimmer's body which will give you the confidence that you look and feel good.Without any doubt, swimming has wonderful cardiovascular benefits as well as the certainty that your body is in its best form.Releated:Swimming Shorts

Guidelines to Using Your Backyard Greenhouse

If you have a greenhouse in your backyard, then you are truly blessed. You have a wonderful space to grow plants during chilly weather; a warm cozy place to spend a sunny winter day; or even a quiet, private hideaway when life gets overwhelming.Using your greenhouse in any one of these ways is great; however, most people have a greenhouse for plants -- a place to grow their own vegetables, flowers, fruits, and herbs. By using your greenhouse mainly for growing plants in a controlled environment, you can be sure that what you're eating is grown the way you want it. It can be free of unwanted pesticides that most commercially produced vegetables might have. You can grow your favorite varieties, and experiment with new types. If you like flowers, then a greenhouse is perfect for you. Try some exotic flowers and plants in your greenhouse, because they are bound to do well in the controlled environment a greenhouse offers.Let's take a look at some requirements of greenhouse farming, so you can make sure your plants get what they need to thrive, and that your gardening efforts aren't wasted.PlantingLet's consider the best way to start seeds growing. Most greenhouse gardeners like to plant seeds in flats, set up off the ground. This allows you to better work with the seedlings, to monitor their growth, and to keep the soil warmer than if they were sitting directly on the ground.Use a good soil mix for starting your seedlings. You can buy commercially made planting soil, or you can make your own by mixing 1/3 garden soil and 1/3 well-seasoned compost and 1/3 sand. You know your seedling mixture is perfect if it is fine textured and crumbly, and tends to fall apart after being squeezed in your hand. Mix it well, and spread it in the flats. Plant your seeds according to the directions on the seed packets.MistingWhen the temperature soars, the humidity inside your greenhouse drops, and if it drops below 30 percent, moisture is pulled out of the plants through their leaves, and the growth of your plants is seriously hindered. A misting system produces favorable, consistent conditions throughout the entire year, which helps increase germination and growth rates, helps to control diseases, and reduces plant stress.A greenhouse misting system causes the greenhouse to cool and humidify by spraying a mist of very fine water. This mist is easily evaporated, bringing the temperature of the greenhouse down. Temperatures may be lowered by as much as 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels can be maintained near 90 percent.Greenhouse FoggingBecause an overly damp greenhouse environment can cause molds and other disease problems, some greenhouses are using a similar process called a greenhouse fogging system. High-pressure pumps force water through tubing out through special fog misting nozzles, creating a fog-like mist. Humidity and cooling are accurately controlled, without causing noticeable wetness to the surfaces of your plants and greenhouse interior. With a greenhouse fogging system, the plants may be provided with all the moisture they require simply by pulling the moisture from the air through their leaves, just as they do in nature.With the use of a good misting or fogging system, your plants will be healthier, propagation and germination will be improved, and energy costs will be reduced.LightingLighting can be one of the most essential elements to successful plant production in a backyard greenhouse, since greenhouse plants have meticulous requirements for proper lighting. A good lighting system will help to add light to shady areas and propagation areas in the greenhouse,There are many types of greenhouse lighting available, including incandescent grow bulbs, standard T12 fluorescent horticultural tubes, compact fluorescent plant grow light systems, high output T5 fluorescent tubes, and high-intensity HID grow lights, to name a few. High intensity discharge (HID) lighting is used in a greenhouse to supplement sunlight, as well as to actually replace it during the winter when natural sunlight is in short supply. HID lighting is capable of producing 500% more light than regular incandescent grow bulbs using the same amount of electricity. Metal halide (MH) grow lights emit a light spectrum, which contains the important red and blue wavelengths that plants need for proper growth. This color spectrum keeps plants short and compact, making it the best for all-purpose growth, starting seeds and cuttings, as well as for actually growing fruiting vegetables like tomatoes and peppers, full size bedding plants, and leafy greens.High Pressure Sodium (HPS) bulbs work well as a multi-purpose light. They emit a spectrum, which is more concentrated in red/orange light. Because of the lack of blue spectrum light, using only HPS lighting can result in "leggy" plants, but it is favorable for the fruiting and flowering stage of a plant's development. Switchable, or convertible models provide the ability for growers to easily switch between metal halide (MH) and high-pressure sodium (HPS) in one fixture, in order to utilize both of these technologies without having to purchase both types of fixtures separately.Adding supplemental lighting will give you stronger, healthier seed starts. Your plants will mature faster and will be more vigorous, plant yield will be higher, and flowers will be more spectacular than can be achieved without supplemental lighting. If you are a serious greenhouse gardener, you will recognize these benefits to increase the health, strength, growth rate, and yield of your plants.WaterIt's important to water correctly. With freshly planted seedlings, give them just a light misting at first so the seeds won't float up to the surface. Apply enough water using this method until the soil is thoroughly damp. Keep it damp but not soggy. If you see green growing on top of your soil, that's a sign that you are watering too much.Keep in mind that because of the humid environment of the greenhouse, your plants will probably not need as much water as you are used to giving your outside garden plants. There is plenty of water in the greenhouse atmosphere for the plants to absorb.FertilizerGood planting soil mixes contain the nutrients your plants need for at least the initial stages of plant growth. However, since these nutrients become depleted, you will need to feed your plants with a balanced fertilizer. Please be careful with this, because if you over feed your plants, you can harm them worse than if they receive no additional nutrients at all. One recommended type of feeding mixture is liquid seaweed. Another is homemade animal-manure tea. Monitor the TemperatureYour plants will wilt and die if they get too hot, so you need to monitor the temperature inside your greenhouse carefully and consistently. To make this easy on yourself, just install a thermometer at the level of your plants inside the greenhouse. This way you can do a quick check to know exactly when to adjust the cooling or ventilation. Don't allow your greenhouse to go above 80 degrees Fahrenheit. It's better to let your greenhouse be a little cool than for your plants to get too hot.You will probably need to install some kind of ventilation system. You have a few options here. The most basic is just to put a fan at each end of the greenhouse near an opening. Vents in the roof of the greenhouse can allow you to let hot air escape when necessary. Even easier than this is an automatic ventilation systems that open vents when the temperature reaches a certain level. This may be a bit costly, but it is very efficient and relieves you of having to open and shut them manually.Releated:Weather Thermometer

The most popular grass on earth is the Bermuda. Realize its fundamentals and learn its proper care. "It is actually smaller sized compared to planet's most compact bathing suit. " This is the way Louis Reard, the actual France engineer and designer from the initial Brazilian swimsuit, promoted his creation. He experienced no name for this at first. Then, four times a lot of Paris releasing associated with his bold development, the actual Army of the united states detonated the nuclear weapon near to a number of small Marshall Island destinations known since the "Bikini Atoll. "Louis Reard made general public the actual Brazilian swimsuit upon This summer 5, 1946. Whilst Reard immediately declared that he labeled his new style since the Brazilian swimsuit after the Swimsuit Atoll island destinations and never the actual occurrence associated with nuclear explosion, he was evidently manipulating the actual incredible show with regard to his benefit. The actual swimsuit was incredibly smaller sized and made up of the bra best and a couple of upturned triangles associated with material connected simply by thread. It had been created from a restricted thirty-inch cloth. The actual inspiration came to Reard when he noticed women turning up their seaside apparel to build up a much better, lovelier suntan. Reard's Brazilian swimsuit was so skimpy which no Parisian versions dared to sports activity this upon general public during those times. Reard obtained Micheline Bernardini, who experienced no worries wearing the Brazilian swimsuit. Bernardini was the remove artist in the Casino de Paris and was an every day beauty. Yet, right after the girl pictures within a lounging stance minted the actual press, Bernardini was famous and was overloaded along with mails through a large number of fans. Those times, two item apparels were not really new. In 1943, the government of the united states, as a way associated with 2nd World War apportioning, experienced the directive to cut back the 10 percent in cloth used in girl's swimsuit. Soon naked midriffs and miniskirts became smash strikes as more and more nationalistic United states women carried out their duties. The swimsuit quickly grew popular. But Portugal, The country of spain and Malta, considered Roman Catholic countries prohibited the usage of Brazilian bikinis. Several associations upon morality and modesty also was adamant which Showmanship keep the swimsuit from its movies.

A Primer on UK Lingerie

Modern lingerie designers have a lot more freedom to use their imagination than they used to. In the UK lingerie market, this opens up an arena of opportunities for producers to make something wholly new and exciting. In lingerie, excitement is the name of the game. Camisoles with frilly panties, leather teddies with fishnet stockings, backless panties of Lycra...all stimulate the senses. Some prove stimulating in other ways. Some styles of lingerie don't have to excite. Corsets, bustiers and garters, for example. They control. They enhance. They sometimes shock. But as other lingerie, they all get attention.In the UK, lingerie is often sold alongside swimwear and other mainstream items. Corsets, bras and bodices can also be found in the same area, along with men's lingerie. Styles in some smaller boutiques are made to measure. With all of the body sizes and types in the UK, this can mean getting a customized fit. One of the most popular fabrics used to make lingerie is silk. It begins cool to the touch but warms the body, keeping the wearer nice and snug. Of course, for those who don't have the extra money and time that silk demands, satin is a related fabric. It is also smooth. And soft. But it is slightly less expensive then silk. But it is not as sturdy, due to the construction differences between the two fabrics. Other popular fabrics for UK lingerie are mesh and lace. Cotton is a newer option that promises comfort. Velvet and leather are popular fabrics for erotic lingerie. Lycra, a body-hugging material rather like spandex, is becoming a success for those wanting a sporty and slimming effect. The kind of lingerie consumers look for depends on their purpose for the clothing. Those whose primary goal is to gather the attention of a lover will find success with leather teddies or a sheer camisole set. For a romantic lead, lace and satin negligees or a simple chemise might do the trick. For comfortable eveningwear, cotton gowns afford warmth and comfort. And then there are those styles of lingerie that can serve a multitude of purposes. Bras, bustiers and corsets can lend support and can also serve as a turn on. The baby doll, a style of lingerie that became popular in the 1950s, is a versatile piece that usually covers (but not always) the torso and ends at the hips. It normally comes with matching panties. Sheer material is often used to heighten a man's libido. Traditionally, UK lingerie is produced for mass consumption. Therefore, the primary colors of lingerie are black, white, and red. Black denotes mystery and allure. At the other end of the spectrum, white represents purity and innocence. A lot of women like to play on that irony during sexual encounters. And red has always been a symbol of boldness and sexuality. Which color buyers choose to buy depends on these facts and some knowledge of skin tone and color compatibility. Fair-haired women look best in pastel shades. Brunettes look good in bold colors, like purple and red. Red-heads impress with earth tones and other Earth-inspired colors, like greens and blues.Releated:Sheer Swimwear

The Different Types Of Eyeglasses

Eyeglasses are frames containing lenses that are placed in front of eyes to correct vision or provide protection. Safety glasses offer protection against flying objects, light, or radiation. Sunglasses improve vision in bright light and can minimize ultraviolet light damage. Other glasses can help with the viewing of visual information or be worn for aesthetic reasons.Glasses have padded supports that rest on the bridge of the nose and have sides that sit over the ears. The most common lenses that are used are CR-39 lenses. These are light, scratch resistant, have low dispersion, and block ultraviolet and infrared radiation.There are many types of eyeglasses. These include corrective, safety, sun, 3D, reading, bifocal, trifocal, progressive, and extreme magnification glasses. Corrective glasses use lenses to modify the lenses focal length to improve nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.Nearsightedness is when far away objects look blurry but close objects are seen clearly. The lenses worn by these individuals are concave. Farsightedness is corrected with convex lenses to help make close up objects less blurry. Cylindrical lenses are used for astigmatism, which is a disorder that effects how light rays are passed to the retina. Corrective eyeglasses improve the sight of individuals with these problems and reduce any side effects they were experiencing, such as headaches.Safety glasses are made of a plastic lens that is resistant to shattering. In this way they prevent damage to eyes from any flying debris. There is great variability in the level of protection provided by products. Ones worn in medical fields are designed to shield against blood splatter. Those worn in factories must protect against sawdust, metal, or flying wood. Factory glasses will have a stronger lens with further shielding than the medical ones. Lenses in either can be shaped so they are also corrective.Sunglasses can be prescription or not and use lenses that are darkened. This darkening gives protection against light, including UV rays. Photochromatic lenses may be used as well, which darken only in the presence of UV light. Light polarization is also possible, which helps to eliminate glare. This would be especially beneficial for pilots, who might otherwise be blinded during flight.The yellow shaded lens increases the contrast of colors and improves depth perception. These work well for seeing at dusk but inhibit vision at nighttime. Sometimes these are worn not to protect the eyes but merely for aesthetic reasons. Blind individuals may also wear opaque glasses to keep their eyes hidden from view.3D glasses give the illusion of three dimension when looking at a two dimensional surface. This is done by having one red lens and one blue one. Or another option is to have one polarized vertically and the other polarized horizontally. The key is to have each eye take in different information.Eyeglasses come in all shapes, sizes, and uses. They are worn for sight correction and vision protection, and sometimes only to make a fashion statement. Even 3D versions are available and used to see in three dimensions for the sake of entertainment.Releated:Prescription Safety Glasses
