How Can I Start Running at 280 Pounds?

June 19th, 2010

“Imagine yourself running with the wind through your hair, you’re healthy, fit and gorgeous. Running will change your life.”

It is more than possible to become a runner when you are obese. I used to weigh 320lbs myself, but at that time I was physically unable to run marathons, or even walk to the block for that matter.

If you’re severely overweight and you want to become a runner, don’t fret the impossible this is very possible and could very likely change your life for the better. All you need is a plan of action and the determination to reach your goals.

”Where do I begin when even a little exercise hurts?”

I can very much sympathize with you here. I first have to suggest that you consult with your doctor before you begin any exercise regimen. After you get his/her okay, which most likely they have been suggesting exercise for sometime now, you need to understand that in the beginning exercise may be painful and uncomfortable. If you prepare yourself for it, then you won’t be deterred in the long run. Start out slow, but always push yourself a little harder each time.

If you don’t have a gym membership, I recommend starting out with 30 minute walks every day at any pace for at least a week. This will get your body used to activity and walking. If you are active, begin doing power walking for 30 minutes. Get your heart rate up.

Your next week you will want to continue with your 30 minute walks, but only doing them for about five days a week. Its important to pick up the pace a little. The other two days left in the week, find an exercise that you can do that will raise your heart rate for at least 15 minutes.

You can try dancing to up tempo music, or following a kick boxing inspired exercise DVD. As the weeks continue you want to increase your walking pace and your stamina.

Being overweight can wreak havoc on your joints, so strength training is very important as well to support your body and to prevent energy. Log your exercise and how you feel. If things are getting easier, you may want to consider a slow jog, keep increasing a little each week.

”What about my diet?”

Following a diet program is very important when you are exercising. One, if you are obese, your weight will not support your running lifestyle. Two you need to consume enough nutrients to sustain your exercise. You never want to go on a crash diet or dramatically reduce your caloric intake, this will only slow your metabolism making it harder to lose weight.

I highly recommend The Day Off Diet. This program focuses on eating the right fat burning foods, you will never go hungry and you never need to count calories. Another perk of The Day Off Diet is that you will be able to eat whatever you want one day a week for a much needed calorie boost that insures your weight loss.

The Day Off Diet will also provide you with an optional strength training program that will help you gain muscle which will make running much easier on your body.

Leslie M. Quesenberry recommends starting The Day Off Diet immediately. More Articles To Read: The Day Off Diet Vs. The South Beach Diet 5 Reasons Why Diets Fail

Weightloss With NLP

June 15th, 2010

NLP can be useful for people struggling to lose weight. In fact, wanting to lose weight is a fairly common reason for why people seek NLP, Herts. Whilst NLP is by no means a magic diet pill, it can be very useful in addressing the issues associated with over-eating such as confidence, self-esteem, motivation and negative coping strategies. This article discusses seven NLP tools, which can help you in being slim and healthy.

1. NLP Communication Model – This model underlies any change work in NLP and a good therapist will explain this model to you. It is very important as it tells us how people use language in specific patterns, during thinking. Depending on the nature of the way you talk to yourself when thinking, you could be undermining the efforts you make to eat healthily and be slim. The NLP communication model can help you to begin to be much more aware of the language you use during thinking, in order that you can develop positive thinking habits. Since how you think has a massive effect on how you feel, it also effects how you behave. Change your thinking patterns and you will get different behavioural results. In the case of weight loss, this can be a change in your eating or exercise habits.

2. NLP Presuppositions – These are a set of convenient beliefs which if you subscribe to them, can lead to you feeling much more empowered. For example, one of the presuppositions is that all behaviour has a positive intention. This does not mean that everything a person does it morally good or good for society. It means that each person, only always carry out behaviours that are positive for them in some way, i.e. meet some higher human need. So, if you feel frustrated at yourself for overeating when you feel you really shouldn’t, its time to begin to think about what needs you meet through food. Only, then can you acknowledge that you have been doing the best with the resources available to you at the time and begin to plan how to meet the need met by food in a more positive way.

3. NLP Frame – Cause is greater then effect. NLP frames are frames of reference that guide the individual towards taking responsibility for themselves, how they feel and what happens in their lives. During NLP therapy you will be encouraged to BE at CAUSE. This means that things happen in your life because of you, not too you. NLP does not claim this to always be the case, it asks you to try to live your life guided by the frames. Being at cause means you get the credit for all the great things you achieve, of course, it also means that you have to take responsibility for outcomes that your not so proud of. How does this relate to dieting? Well as a person who used to smoke and who tried to stop for several years before I was successful, I know that I felt much more comfortable about lighting up, if I had a reason (excuse). So, it was the fault of my stressful day, argument with boyfriend, because I’d had a glass of wine, because I needed to relax and not because I was choosing to smoke over other behavioural options. This can be the case, with bingeing or snacking. Once you begin to stop kidding yourself during thinking and actually begin to stop and say, actually I don’t have to eat this, I can act in a different way, I take responsibility, you have taken a big step towards the slimmer you.

4. NLP Formal Change Techniques – There are several formal change techniques, which are useful for helping with weight-loss. The most appropriate technique will depend on your unique problem. Here are a few: 1) The Swish Technique can be used if you wish to replace a highly contextualised problem behaviour with a more positive behaviour. It works to eliminate behaviours that occur in specific situations after specific triggers. 2) Parts Integration is very useful at uncovering the positive intention of your unhelpful eating habits and dealing with incongruent behaviour and feelings. If you’ve had the experience of thinking ‘how have I just eaten that, I’ve been doing so well’, this technique could help you! 3) Like To Dislike – This technique is based on information about how we code memories in our brain. We tend to code things we like in a different way to things we don’t like. So, if you have a particularly problematic food type, its possible to change the memory of the problematic food type into the memory of a food you can’t stand. This technique works really well if you have a food that you really hate! 4) Hypnosis with positive suggestion – many NLP therapists will have studied hypnotic techniques based on the Ericksonian model, during NLP training and will utilise these techniques during therapy sessions.

5. Getting Leverage – NLP therapists are skilled at getting leverage. This basically means helping the client to recognise and experience the impact of the problem behaviour, such as overeating, on themselves and those around them. It will help you find your motivation and will identify those who are not motivated.

6. Setting Well Formed Goals. NLP takes goals setting seriously and has developed criteria for goal setting that results in the goals being much more achievable and likely to be reached. Your therapist can support you in working towards your weight loss goals.

7. Developing Positive Coping Strategies. Acknowledge that your problematic eating has served a purpose in the past, in that it has likely been a method for coping. Now you want to develop positive coping strategies that serve you in the present and future. When would now be the right time to be good to yourself?

These are just a few of the ways that NLP can help you develop new options in thinking and behaviour. I have found these techniques effective during NLP, Herts at my NLP practice, Herts, when supporting clients in losing weight.

How You Can Run Fast

June 7th, 2010

You want to know how to run fast. Well I am going to tell you exactly how to run fast and how you can go even faster with proper training. Running is a great way to exercise and stay fit, but if you want to good at sports you need to be a fast runner. The stronger and more powerful you are the faster you will run. Now I will go through some helpful tips and ideas to get you moving even faster than you are today.


Running Technique:

You must have flawless technique and body awareness to run fast or faster. When you run fast or sprint you will use different technique then walking or jogging. When you run fast you want to stay on the balls of you feet and stay on the ground as little as possible. Concentrate on driving the knee up while you spring forward on your opposite leg, then lower the knee and do the same with the other leg. Do not worry about pushing because there is no time; just bring your knees up and down as fast as you can. Use your upper body power to propel you forward by pumping your arms back at a 90 degree angle.

You will feel it in you glutes and hamstrings when you are at top speed, not your quads as much. Practice your technique in your mind and in the gym or track.


How to run even faster with Training:


You need to hit the weights at the gym if you want increase power and strength for running speed. Have you ever seen 100 meter sprinters, these guys are in the gym lifting. Now you must understand how to lift weights to become faster. Always contract your muscles or lift the weight as fast as you can, lower the weight in control. Do heavy weight lifting that you can only lift 5 to 7 times. This is your strength range; you will rely a lot on your Central Nervous System. So you must recover and rest between workouts to see the benefits.


Exercises to Increase Speed:


Everyone can increase force or strength applied to the ground when they run. The more force you push into the ground the faster you will run as long as your limbs still move the same speed. So do exercise that combine speed and strength, and look at your body with your mind not your eyes. The strength of your central nervous system plays a major role in how fast you will be able to run, not how big your muscles are.


Here are some great exercises that can increase your speed dramatically: Squats, Dead lifts, Lunges, Bench Press, 10 Meter Sprints, Skipping Rope, Push ups, Pull ups, Jump Squats. These are compound movements so you will not develop muscle imbalances. Train at least 2 to 4 times a week for 45 to 60 minutes per workout. Work hard and smart.

Weightloss Without the Bs, Buzzwords, or Fads

June 3rd, 2010

Losing weight is a lot more simple than even the simplest plans try to make out – It all boils down to basic physics. The logic that the number of calories entering your body needs to be less than calories put out is something seemingly intuitive, but it is surprisingly often ignored. The problem with most diet plans is they ignore the differences in a person’s metabolism and natural resting rate of calories burned. This is very easy to calculate, and in fact, doesn’t need to be “calculated” at all.

The first thing you need to determine is the average amount of calories you take in per day. Simply take a few days and record on paper the calories you eat. This might seem like a nuisance at first, but once you eventually see results, it becomes second nature. The calories will be available (per serving) on the back of mostly everything you eat or drink.

After you get a few days recorded, find the average calories taken in per day. For our purposes, this is the roughly the amount of calories your body takes in to maintain your current weight. This knowledge is powerful and surprisingly unknown to many trying to lose weight.

Now what? Cut down on calories. Yes, it’s really that simple. You might be thinking “well of course”, however, most people trying to do a method similar to this do it haphazardly and either count incorrectly, or use an arbitrary model of an average person’s daily caloric intake (remember those estimated recommended daily calorie counts on nutrition labels?).

How to go about cutting down on calories is also important. The first thing you need to cut down in your diet is sugar.

Sugar is incredibly fattening. Once in your body, it triggers an insulin response and almost immediately gets stored as fat. Foods that are high in starch and simple carbohydrates, such as potatoes and very processed grains, will have a similar response. Some diets instruct you to eat more whole grains and protein. This is the reason behind it.

For example, if you eat an average of 2900 calories per day and a reduction in sugary and starchy foods (such as soda and sugary juices) cuts your daily calorie count to 2700, you will steadily lose weight.

If a several hundred calorie reduction doesn’t help you lose weight, try a hundred more until you’re happy with the pace you’re going.

In order to cope with the lack of sugars (and fats, which are calorie rich), increase the intake of protein. This will also help you retain muscle mass as you drop pounds.

It’s a good idea to time your meals to ingest carbs and fats early and midday, and protein at night. This will allow your body all day to burn off the carbs and fat, leaving you protein at night to fill you up and preserve muscle while your body burns off some weight.

Diet pills are often advertised as being a sort of miracle cure. Many people try them and stop after a few weeks, not seeing results. The amount most diet pills increase your metabolic rate of burn is insignificant – where they CAN help is to curb your appetite while dieting. A lot of successful dieters I have consulted with supplement their diet with pills to help them during the tough times simply adjusting to eating less.

If you’re planning on trying the above method, picking up a pill regimen can increase your odds of success.

Hoodia Gordonii Supplements – Six Steps to Follow in Choosing Them

May 31st, 2010

Weight loss is one of the things that both men and women are up to. They usually spend great amount of money, just to get the body that they wanted. Are you one of them? Well, what you do not know is that, there is no point for you to get yourself into those invasive treatments, as you could become sexy in the most affordable price that you can. Actually, it is only by using the newest innovation, which is the Hoodia Gordonii.

This plant is actually one of the varieties of Hoodia. It is the only plant, which has the medicinal and therapeutic use. Genuinely, Hoodia is found in South Africa and specifically in the South Africa’s Kalahti dessert. It came from the flowering plant of the Apocanyceae, which is the sub-family of the Asclepiadoideae. It is actually a stem succulent plant, and mistakenly known as one of the cacti family, because of its similarity into its form. They grow and reach the height of about one meter high and with big flowers. As compared with the usual flowering plants, the flowers are pollinated by the flies and smells like a rotten meat. Historically, it is used by the ancient people of South Africa as a suppressant for their appetite all through the long journey of hunt into the wild. This thing actually helps them in sustaining their hunger in the long duration of travel.

On the other hand, if you are looking for Hoodia Gordonii Supplements, you should follow certain matters in order to get one, as there are lots of fake ones along the market. So, here are some of the things that you might want to follow for your security and for the efficiency of the products.

1. Check CITES- it is the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. It states that the Hoodia tablet suppliers have imported the product from South Africa into a legal manner.
2. Verify the lab test reports- The genuine product marketers display the reports or the certificates of analysis on their sites. Try to check their percentage of P57 molecules being found in the samples being tested. If it is between 0.10%-0.45%, it could already be considered as pure.
3. Feedback- it is actually one of the most powerful way on how you could find the most efficient Hoodia Gordonii supplements. When the supplement do not really work, people will surely complain and will tell that they are unsatisfied about how the supplement works for them.
4. Company- if the company is proven about delivering products, then you could be so sure that you are only getting the right product.
5. Price- throw away prices is not actually the thing if you are going to get the pure capsules of Hoodia. If the price lines are low, you should consider the brands as fake.
6. Money Back Guarantee- it is one of the essential matters that you have to follow. The company should give you about 3 to 6 months money back guarantee on both of the used and unused diet pills.

When you take some time checking for those above criteria with any brand of Hoodia diet products and you gain answers for all, you can try to consider them as the pure Hoodia supplements.

Losing Weight: The Power of Food Journaling

December 4th, 2009

So many of us say we want to lose weight or eat healthier, but frequently we don’t realize what we’re actually eating. We understand that a diet of fried food is bad, or that we need to limit our deserts, but we may not appreciate how much of these foods we are managing to sneak into our diets. Fortunately, there is a very simple tool called a food journal that can help us take measure of our eating habits. From there we can learn to manage what we eat.

What is it?

A food journal is a daily record of all the foods you eat – every meal, snack, or drink consumed throughout the day is written down to provide a comprehensive record. The level of detail can vary. Some journals include only the items in each meal. The best ones record at least some basic nutritional information, which can include portions, number of calories, or the levels of fat and cholesterol. To make it fun, some people even include personal reviews of the food they eat.

What does writing have to do with dieting?

Of course, the act of writing won’t burn enough calories to help you lose that weight. The real benefit of the journal is to give you a comprehensive list. If you diligently record your meals for seven days, you can examine the levels of calories and fat you’ve taken in and begin to understand your own eating behaviors. The longer you journal, the more information you gain about yourself. This information allows you to make informed choices about your intake and can lead you to a level of awareness that will help you make better decisions.

So how do I get started?

First, you need to get the journal set up. Keep in mind that the journal doesn’t have to be a fancy leather-bound book. You can easily set up a document on your computer or use a simple spiral bound notepad available at any drugstore. There are even iPhone apps available (like ‘Lose It’) that can make recording meals easy. Pick the method you’re most comfortable with.

Next, you will need to identify your system. Simply recording the meals you eat is a start, but the more information you enter the better. Pick information types (called ‘metrics’) that fit with your goals. If you want to lose weight, you will probably need to record calories consumed. If you’re concerned about your heart, then cholesterol, salts and certain fats will be your focus.

Finally, when you start journaling, make sure to keep it simple. Begin by recording the meals and portions you eat for a full week. At the end of the week, go back and fill in the metrics for each day and then your totals for the week. These totals will give you a ‘big picture’ snapshot that you can use to measure your overall goals. The day-to-day entries will allow you to break down any needed changes into manageable pieces.

What does it mean?

You’ll probably be surprised by what you find but don’t get discouraged. Nearly everyone gets a shock when they see just what their real diets look like. Keep with it. The longer you record the information, the better and more complete the picture will become.

If you’re on a 2,000-calorie a day diet, the week should be about 14,000 calories. If you went up to 18,000, you will know that somehow you ate an extra two days’ worth of food during the week. This is good information that will not only help to identify a problem, but also the degree of the problem. In this example, if you can eliminate just 300 calories per day, you will have achieved your goal.

Since you’ll be making a complete record of each meal, and noting the values associated with the meal, you will be able to see where you can ‘win back’ some of your meals. Maybe it will be from omitting a daily snack here and there or reducing the size of a meal by a small amount. Either way, you have the information you need to begin taking steps to modify your eating behavior. This applies to any metric you choose – keep a good record, tally up the numbers, and you will see the patterns that you need to change.

Take Control

The biggest advantage of food journaling is that it really is easy to do. It can take some practice but the time commitment is minimal. It takes less than a minute to write down that you had a roast beef sandwich, a bag of chips, and a soda for lunch. If you only take another two minutes to research the nutritional information in that meal and write it down, you’ve committed only three minutes. For as little as one hour per week you can account for every meal. It’s a small step that you can easily fit into your existing routine. Once it becomes habit, you will have information that isn’t just generalized or abstracted, but very specific to your personal needs. And you can take control of your eating and your health.
