Diet Shakes
If you are trying to lose weight no doubt at some stage in your process you will be faced with someone who tells you to try a diet shake.
When trying to lose weight, especially fat, many people think that it is all about eating less and so the Diet Shake looks like a great option.
The question for anyone trying to lose weight though is Do diet shakes really work?
Some people think that they do while other people are completely unsatisfied by them. They are marketed as part of a successful diet but many experts say they are nothing but a fad. A person can lose some weight with them but not be able to maintain that loss if they don’t make some other changes to their lifestyle including what they eat and the amount of physical activity they engage in on a daily basis.
Diet shakes are convenient as they are found in cans too. You can put them in your refrigerator and open them when you are ready. You can also take them to work and enjoy them for breakfast and lunch instead of other foods. Then you will need to eat a sensible dinner. Most diet shakes have essential vitamins and nutrients that your body needs so you won’t be lacking.
These pre-made diet shakes are also expensive though and that is why many people go with the powder. They can easily make a large batch of the diet shakes and then pour them into containers to take to work with them or to grab when they are ready for one. Some people complain of a metallic taste when they drink a diet shake out of can. This is eliminated when they make their own though.
However, many people find it is hard to give up eating solid meals twice a day. It is often a mental thing that we do out of habit though. Yet it can be hard to change what is such an integrated pattern of our daily behaviors each day. This is something you will have to decide for yourself if you can stick to or not.
Diet shakes are offered in many great tasting flavors so you can mix and match what you want to drink. This will prevent you from becoming bored with the same thing day after day. You will also find the taste of them has significantly improved over the years. Most of them are delicious and you won’t feel like you are drinking something that is made for dieting. You may have to try a few brands to come up with one you enjoy the taste of.
Fat Burning Zone
Have you ever heard of the FAT BURNING zone?
It’s a great name however the idea that you can get your heart rate to a certain level that automatically burns pure fat, or even more fat than usual is … I was going to use a 4 letter word starting with c but lets keep the language out of the gutter and say a Fib 
.
The truth is that your body loves to burn carbs – and keep fat around for later. Which is why a no-carb diet can in fact work very well even if it makes someone feel like the living dead – which then causes them to give up.
So don’t expect a “magic” heart rate to change your body’s mind, it just won’t happen. You need to combine a number of techniques to ensure that your body keeps burning fat while you enjoy the process
Here’s a secret, certain exercises, depending how you do them, won’t raise your heart rate much at all – but they still burn fat. One man I know used it to drop 20 pounds in 60 days. Not bad considering he gained a bit of muscle at the same time.
So stay away from anything involving a zone.

The China Study
The science is clear, the results are unmistakable: The findings from the China Study conclusively demonstrate the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. This important book admonishes readers to change their diets to dramatically reduce their chances of developing these diseases.
From The Publisher:
Referred to as the “Grand Prix of epidemiology” by “The New York Times,” this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.
The South Beach Diet
THE DIET EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT!
Developed by noted Miami cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston for his patients, THE SOUTH BEACH DIET became a national phenomenon-because it works. It’s not low fat. It’s not low carbs. It teaches you to use the right carbs and the right fats to change your body chemistry to burn fat, help reduce your cholesterol, and help prevent metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetes). As a result, you’ll lose weight quickly and safely.
Dr. Agatston’s plan allows you to eat the foods you love-meat and fish, cheese, healthy oils and nuts, vegetables, and the right carbohydrates and sweets. There’s no mandatory exercise, and you’re never left craving more food. Structured in three simple phases, this may be the easiest diet that you’ve ever tried.
PHASE ONE: Say goodbye to bad-for-you “goodies”!
Your cravings will disappear…and so will eight to thirteen pound.
PHASE TWO: Your stomach is visibly smaller and favorite foods are back on the menu!
Your body is burning calories, not storing them!
PHASE THREE: The stage that lasts the rest of your life-normal foods in normal portions.
You will keep your ideal weight…and maintain your health and vitality.
With recipes and meal plans for each phase!
“The real value of the book is its sound nutritional advice.”
-”Newsweek”
From The Publisher:
For years, cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., urged his patients to lose weight for the sake of their hearts, but every diet was too hard to follow or its restrictions were too harsh. Some were downright dangerous. Nobody seemed to be able to stick with low-fat regimens for any length of time. And a diet is useless if you can’t stick with it.
So Dr. Agatston developed his own. The South Beach Diet isn’t complicated, and it doesn’t require that you go hungry. You’ll enjoy normal-size helpings of meat, poultry, and fish. You’ll also eat eggs, cheese, nuts, and vegetables. Snacks are required. You’ll learn to avoid the bad carbs, like white flour, white sugar, and baked potatoes. Best of all, as you lose weight, you’ll lose that stubborn belly fat “first!
Dr. Agatston’s diet has produced consistently dramatic results (8 to 13 pounds lost in the first 2 weeks!) and has become a media sensation in South Florida. Now, you, too, can join the ranks of the fit and fabulous with “The South Beach Diet.
Fat Burning
Fat Burning Fairy Tale #1
In order to experience rapid fat loss, you should drastically lower your food intake and consume far fewer total calories?.
When most people make the decision to lose weight and get into shape, the first thing they do is make large reductions to the amount of food that they eat and place extreme restrictions on their caloric intake.
Their logic is simple: the less food I eat, the more weight I’ll lose
To put it bluntly, this is one of the most harmful and counterproductive things you could possibly do if your goal is to lose fat and keep it off permanently.
Why?
It’s because severe calorie reductions actually program your body to burn fat at a slower rate!
The human body is a highly complex and sophisticated system that is setup with the ultimate goal of keeping you alive and healthy at all times. When you try to lose weight by starving yourself, your bodys hard-wired defense mechanisms kick into gear as a natural survival response.
Your body has no idea that there is a fridge full of food 10 feet away, and when you deprive it of the calories it needs each day for optimal functioning, it makes the necessary adjustments to respond to this perceived “famine”.
2 major adjustments are made, and they are directly counterproductive to your goal of a lean, defined and healthy body.
* First of all, the fat burning metabolism comes to a screeching halt.
Body fat is simply a stored form of energy, and in an effort to conserve this energy for future use, the body will begin holding onto it rather than burning it.
During periods of severe calorie restriction, the metabolic rate can slow down by up to 40%.
* Secondly, your levels of lean muscle tissue will rapidly diminish.
Muscle is metabolically ?expensive? tissue and requires a lot of resource t o build and maintain. In an effort to further conserve energy and to obtain a source of much-needed protein, the body will begin breaking down and wasting away your muscle mass.
In fact, around HALF of the weight that you lose during a crash diet is muscle tissue.
To sum these 2 points up: When you deprive your body of the calories and nutrients it requires, you begin storing more body fat while simultaneously losing muscle mass.
It’s the ultimate “double whammy”, and is the exact opposite of what you should trying to achieve.
The solution?
You will have to come back for the next installment.
Weight Loss Myths
Myth #1 – You Have to Do Cardio in the Morning on an Empty Stomach in order to Burn Fat
There is no fat loss magic to doing cardio on an empty stomach. In fact, most trainers “in-the-know” are using intervals instead of slow, boring cardio to help their clients burn fat fast. Plus, who wants to be doing boring cardio at 6am while their stomach is rumbling? If you could find better home fitness workouts to burn fat, wouldn’t you do those instead?
Myth #2 – You Have to Do Cardio in the Fat Burning Zone
By exercising in the fat burning “Zone”, as some folks like to call it, you only burn a few extra calories than if you weren’t doing any exercise at all! Slow, boring cardio workouts are not the best way to lose belly fat. If you truly want to change your body, you need to use short, burst exercise home fitness workouts.
Myth #3 – You Have to Do Cardio 7 Days Per Week
You don’t need to workout everyday. The truth is, you only need to do 3 short home fitness workouts per week of 45 minutes.
Myth #4 You Have to Do Cardio for at Least 20 Minutes Before You Start Burning Fat
We’re burning fat all the time, even while you sit here and read this message. Sure, exercise increases our fat burning, but it’s not as though the first 20 minutes of any workout don’t burn fat. That makes no sense at all! I’ll show you how the short, burst exercise system helps you achieve more fat loss in less than half the time of a regular cardio workout.
Myth #5 – You Can’t Lose Fat and Gain Muscle at the Same Time
Scientific research and my experience says, “Yes, you can!” A recent study found that men and women can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time if they use a component of my Turbulence Training system.
