How To Fight Fat And Lose Weight With Fiber

I am not sure if you are aware of this... Fiber is integral in helping us pass motion and is important for preventing constipation.

Everyday, about 5-10% of whatever you eat will get left inside your colon. Over long periods of not clearing this up (especially if you are constipated and go to toilet less than 2 times a day), you eventually accumulate tonnes of rubbish in your colon and our colon is capable of containing 2kg-11kg worth of rubbish-- that translate to a huge tummy and lots of extra weight.

Did you ALSO know that FIBER can not only help you relief constipation, it can actually help you fight fat and lose weight?!

The key to losing weight on a fiber rich diet is understanding how fiber works.

Fiber is filling which is great when you're looking to lose weight. The fiber swells in your stomach and in turn quels hunger.

Food that is high in fiber will actually make you feel a lot fuller than food that offers a lower fiber count.

Fiber is also known to lower blood sugar. High fiber foods like oatmeal can actually help you by moderating your blood sugaar level and by keeping your insulin level low.

This is important since low insulin has been linked to lower body fat and a lower risk of diabetes.
And fiber is also known to flush out fat, which is another plus for those looking to lose weight. Certain types of fiber especially the kind found in fruits and vegetables is ideal for sweeping out fat before your body has a chance to absorb it.

Finally, fiber is low cal. If you look at pure fiber itself you'll discover it has '0' calories. And, since you body can't break it down it passes right through your digestive system only leaving bulk.

Think of it this way, from a bulk and fiber standpoint you're better off with a high fiber apple instead of a low fiber glass of apple juice when it comes to losing weight. The apple itself has less calories than a glass of apple juice that contains no fiber.

Consume more fiber today! Your body needs about 12-30gms of fiber everyday. In order to at least consume 12gms of fiber a day, you need to consume at least 6kg worth of green vegetables and foods! Most people consume less than 10gms in their daily intake.

A good way is to take a good fibre product that will not just help you clean up your colon but help you lose more weight!

Weight Loss Inspiration- TAMMY

Today, I would like to share an inspiring weight loss story about a friend of mine, Tammy...

When I first met Tammy about two years ago in Feb 2007... When she contacted me, she was a miserable student who weighed 70kg at only 164cm. "I am miserable!!! I hate the way I look in my clothes and my biggest fear is that I will only get worse!!! You are my beacon of hope!" she said in her email..

Being overweight since she was 16, Tammy set a goal to lose 15kg and look beautiful for her 21st birthday. Her biggest challenge when I met her was her weakness for food.

"I think food is a comfort thing for me and I find it very hard to say no to foods that I know are bad for me. My mom is very overweight (around 120kgs, 1.58cm), so I know that if I don't do something now, I could end up the same and it scares me!"

"I want to lose this weight because I think that I am breaking my mom's heart. She doesn't want to see me end up like she has... on fad diets for the rest of my life that don't work and a life full of painful failures when a diet doesn't work. Also, I know that I can look better and feel better as well. I think I hide behind my weight and it prohibits me from doing things... I don't like going out dancing with my friends because I hate getting dressed up... we always take photos whenever we go out and I am tired of feeling like the 'ugly duckling'."

But the detox is not the only thing she attempted to try. Since 16, she has been trying all sorts of stuff... high protein diets, Jenny Craig, Limited Carb diets... And for a while, they seem to work. She would lose like 5kg but afterward, because the diets are not maintanable, back comes the weight.. and most of the time with a vengeance too.

What one thing Tammy had that all people I know who are very successful in weight loss is a strong determination to succed. When asked about her budget, Tammy said, "I will pay whatever it takes! I am unhealthy and unhappy! I was paying around $100 per week for food from Jenny Craig. That may be a stretch for me now as I am a student, but I can make it work!"

So because of her strong desire and enthusiasm, I arrange for a long distance FREE consultation with her. During the consultation, I talked to Tammy about her mindset and about healthy habits. We spent some time also going through her daily diet and found the culprits to her weight gain. Since she barely had money and because she was so far away from me, she took my advice, did her homework (to prepare herself mentally and psychologically) and changed her diet somewhat to lose some weight first while she saved up for the detox.

Over the next few months, we exchanged emails and discussed what sort of old mindsets were simply not working for her and we sorted out all the mental blockages that she has in her mind...

Over months, she still did not manage to save up much.. but following my suggestions, she DID manage to lose some weight and at this point, she met a body sculpting coach who helped her set a goal of taking part in a competition 9 months down the road.

The rest, they say, is history...

9 months and alot of trainings and many kg less later, she came in 2nd in a body sculpting competition!

And I only found out about it about a year and a half later when I emailed her just to ask her how she has been doing... and here's her reply..

"Hi Angel!

WOW! This year has been crazy! I've been so busy with university and training :)

I finally got off my big butt and saw a personal trainer who is amazing and my journey began... she insisted that I compete in a 'body sculpting' competition and 9months (and many kgs less) later, I've competed in two :)

I've attached a photo from my latest competition. I also read the book 'The Secret' and I feel that my whole life is changing for the better... and it all started with the emails from you :)

Sorry that this is just a very short email... I have to rush to class!

Hope you and your family are well!

Tammy
xoxox

Well, if Tammy can do it, so can you! :)

And with her sheer determination, Tammy inspired me to start exercising on a regular basis.. haha.. she has also proven that irregardless of what body shape you are, you are worthy of a beautiful body and it is possible as long as you work towards your goal ;)

Email Angel and find out how you could prep up your mind, get starting with the detox and lose up to 5kg within 5 days and learn how to MAINTAIN it ;) Contact Angel at +65 96909119 or verityy@yahoo.com

Don't Make This Success Mistake

Read something today the kind of described how I feel...



Don't Make This Success Mistake

(Excerpt from Mike Litman's blog)



Can’t stand it,

I can’t stand seeing people get hurt the way I did for a 7 year period.

I spent 7 years running around, circle after circle, procrastinating, inconsistent, and more.

You name the bad success habit. I did it.

I couldn’t quit, and after years of lack of focus, I finally saw the path.

A #1 best-selling book, helping hundreds of thousands of people, and a successful business has been result of finally ‘getting it’.


You can get it too.


If you don’t make this mistake.


“Mike, what mistake?”


Amigo, let’s go and I’ll tell you about it.


I got so pissed off 8 years ago that one day I just decided to do the opposite of everything I was doing in trying to build my business.


Instead of trying to make $10,000 a month, I tried making my 1st $1,000.


Instead of trying to make $5,000 a month, I tried making $500 a month.


Instead of trying to make $1,000 a month, I focused on making that 1st $100.


I made my goals smaller and I learned a very VALUABLE lesson.


***Every level of income demands a different you.


Let me say it again.


***Every level of income demands a different you.


I wasn’t yet the person to make $5,000+ a month.
Each level of income demands different habits and actions.
The key is to start, grow, persevere, and become MORE.


***Every level of income demands a different you.


Who do you need to be to make the MONEY and LIFE you desire?
Remember, you don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going.


Get going. Make your goals smaller and bring greater momentum into your life.
Celebrate your small victories.


You can DO IT. You can.
I believe in you. Now, believe in yourSELF.

The Weight Loss Cure “They” Don’t Want You To Know About

I was just surfing the net and came across an online debate over this book called The Weight Loss Cure “They” Don’t Want You To Know About written by a top notch millionaire marketer called Kevin Trudeau.

There were basically two groups of people talking about it.

The supporters who claim to have followed the plan and lost lots of weight in a relatively short time and have managed to keep it off.

And then, there are the non-supporters who deride the plan for being difficult to follow (requires colonic cleansing for 15 days, consumption of expensive organic vegetables and fruits, expensive herbs and HCG injections which are not proven for weight loss) as it is simply too complex and too expensive.

The Weight Loss Cure "They" Don't Want You to Know About is a three-phase program. In the first phase, dieters switch to an organic diet with a long list of "dos and don'ts" and a very short list of allowable foods. Dieters begin rituals of colonics, liver cleansings, and other unconventional procedures that are supposed to cleanse and rejuvenate the body to prepare it for weight loss.

Phase 2 is the weight loss phase, and includes daily injections of hCG -- human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone found in the urine of pregnant women. This aspect of the program is unusually challenging, since hCG injections are not approved for weight loss treatment in the U.S. Thus it's almost impossible to find a health care provider willing to do the injections.

In the third, "eating right, eating less" phase, hCG injections cease. But the cleanses and other unusual recommendations continue, and allowable food continues to be solely from organic sources.The fourth phase is the final cleansing phase, and includes cleanses of the kidneys and liver, and parasite and heavy metal detoxification.

Trudeau claims the "cure" has been suppressed by the American Medical Association, the FDA, and "other medical establishments throughout the world" because drug companies and the establishment are withholding information to keep Americans fat so they can make billions of dollars from drugs and surgery.While I think his views are rather extremist, this author, without medical or nutritional credentials, is a controversial and very successful businessman who has made a career from hawking natural "cures" via infomercials and books.

There is also much controversy about his book partially due to the fact that the author did an infomercial that stated that once you are done with the regiement, you will never gain your weight back. But when unsuspecting individuals purchase they book and actually read it, they find out that in addition to following a strict regiment requires colonic cleansing for 15 days, consumption of expensive organic vegetables and fruits, expensive herbs and HCG injections, in order to keep the weight off, they have to stick to low calorie limited food regiment for life!

To be fair, I think those people are really creating too much of a big hoo haa over this issue. As I always share with my clients.. we are where we are now and what we are now because of our past. Our past actions.. which comes from our past decisions.. which comes from our mindsets. If we do not change any of these and continue to have the same mindsets, same decisions and same actions, it is only logical that we will arrive at the same conclusion some xx months down the road. There is simply no free lunch in this world!

However, I do agree that a life forever without any treats like ice creams and sugary drinks, cakes and stuff like that can be quite sad and going on a low calorie diet for life just to lose weight, in my personal opinion, is not exactly a healthy way to do so. People I know who are on this sort of diet usually claim it to be healthy but I often find that they look pale and sickly.

Intrigued by how he managed to sell millions of copies of the book, I read about the things that they do in the programme and the reasoning behind them. Actually, I don’t think they are very much different from the detox programmes that I customize for people.

In fact, I think my detox programme is far better than this touted weight loss cure.

Here’s why:

1. There are no complex programs to follow in my detox program


2. There is no need to commit to consuming expensive organic foods


3. There is no need for any colonic procedures but a mere consumption of a good fibre product to take care of the colonic waste. Have been using it for many years and works perfectly well with all body types with no risk of dyhydration as per in colonics.


4. There is no need to inject HCG to prevent muscle loss and your body naturally loses fats and builds muscles


5. In my program, there is no need to keep free of lotions and use special shower filters even though I do have similar products and agree it would be nice to be free of all chemicals


6. The health foods I recommend in my detox naturally help you do heavy metal detoxification, build muscle, cleanse your liver and other organs and there are no complicated phases to follow.. your body goes into the right phase when it feels the timing is right. After all, nature knows best.


7. There is no fear of nutritional defeciency because your energy level and nutritional intake is fully supplemented by the health foods I recommend.


8. I, too, have tonnes of ‘successful’ testimonials who have lost their weight and kept it off and so far no one slamming me for my weight loss methods yet ;)
   

But well, the good marketeer, even though a very contraversial one, is a millionaire many times over from selling this book and his book is an amazon top seller. I guess I will just need to hone my marketing skills to reach out to more people :)
