" Weight Loss; How to do it naturally with Herbal Belly Fat Burners"

     If your'e like most people, you are probably on the heavy side and may have tried many diets schemes, diet fads, and expensive exercise equipment to help shed those unwanted pounds. The truth about diets is that they do not work. Exercise equipment often target specific muscle groups and if you wanted to focus on other groups of muscles you would need to buy a separate exercise machine for those. Diet pills which help curb your appetite do so by unbalancing your body's natural metabolic processes. Losing weight is easy if you understand key knowledge about the science of weight loss. 

     We often forget that in order to lose weight we need to change the way we see, think, and engage food. What most experts will tell you is avoid this, avoid that, eat more of this, eat less of that. That's a horrible way to lose weight don't you think? I wold like you to think not in quantity or even quality, but rather, in variety. What I mean is it's ok to eat what you want but you have to set certain limits on how much and how often. Don't punish yourself by eating salads and fruits for most of the week but salivate when you see someone eat a philly cheese steak sandwich. Get the picture now? You see, losing weight is more about a change in your lifestyle, your habits, and your way of thinking more so than your change in food choices. It's about understanding what you want for yourself, what your goals are, and how healthy you want to be. I can go on and on about how diet and exercise improves your health drastically but if it falls on deaf ears what good would that sound medical advice be? Rather, let's take this topic of weight loss in stages and see how we can better improve upon ourselves and better our state of health.

     As before, before I go on and expound on matters further, I like to give some helpful hints along the way to help break the ice. Here are 7 things you need to do to add 10-15 years to your life:

• Stop smoking
• Understand what a BMI chart is and where you are in it.
• Learn to swim and swim 30-45 minutes a day.
• Discover the wonderful world of juicing.
• Learn to be a "herbalist"
• smile often and think only of happy thoughts
• worry less

     As I mentioned earlier, losing weight involves many things; a change in your lifestyle, your habits, the way you prepare and cook food, and lastly, the way you see food. I don't have a given set of methods per se on what food types should you eat more of but let me share with you what most of the world's older cultures practice and believe in:

• Eat more of what grows from the earth.
• Raw foods are better than cooked foods
• Eat less of animals which eat what comes from the earth.

     A lifestyle change can be drastic to some people but to others it can be simple and life changing at the same time. You have to think in terms of wellness and health benefits rather than on the aspects of health alone. What do I mean by lifestyle changes? Well, for starters, do not eat at fast food restaurants often, do not buy canned and processed foods, do not drink beverages other than water, juices, and a glass or two of wine only. Know that you simply do not start out blindly. There are factors to consider which are vital to your target goal. First off, have your present state of health evaluated by your primary care physician. How overweight are you? Do you have co-morbid diseases like hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, etc? Are you suffering from arthritis? All of these factors need to be considered in order to plan a safe exercise regiment for you as well as helping your nutritionist formulate a table of what food groups should you eat more of, be wary of, and to avoid altogether.

     Move constantly. Never stay still. When your body is in constant motion you burn more calories and you lose weight. If you need to do an exercise regiment for weigh loss or simply to give your heart a good cardiovascular workout I recommend swimming. It's safer for your joints and works out all of your major muscle groups. You can't get that from any equipment from your local gym. Learn to be a "juicer". Juicing machines can be had for reasonable prices these days and I don't see why every household doesn't have one. When you drink extracted vegetable, fruit, and herb juices, you drink the raw, natural energy that is contained in plant life. Enzymes, anti-oxidative vitamins and minerals, natural sugars are absorbed readily giving your body an extra boost prior to any workout or rejuvination after working out. Learn to colon cleanse and drink lots of water. Celium husk based fiber preparations are available almost anywhere and at good prices. Drink these twice daily for 10-12 days to help rid of unwanted toxins from your body. Fiber serves a two-fold role in this case. It also serves to absorb some of that fat from your diet preventing further absorption.

     Lastly, learn to be a herbalist. Did you know that the rain forest contains more medicinal plants than the medicine list contained within the physician desk reference? Imagine a world of natural healing, constantly being one with nature. Most people have no knowledge of the medicinal properties of ginger let alone the rest of the herbs that are within our reach from the local supermarket. There is so much knowledge how plants can heal you and how they can stave off diseases like cancer, stroke, diabetes, rheumatism, and the list goes on, that it's a shame we don't take advantage of it. In order to prolong your life you need to drink vibrant life energy from juicing vegetables, fruits, and herbs. After about 4 days of juicing initially, which I recommend to be about a glass of juice 2-3 times  day, you will start to feel more energetic and vibrant. You will find that as you progress further you will learn to eat around your juicing and not juice around your eating.

     As I have mentioned earlier, herbs are power packed with essential vitamins and minerals as well as enzymes which help our body cure a disease, recover from a disease, prevent a disease, or simply boost our immunity against infectious processes. From the viewpoint of weight loss herbs excel in that they act in multiple ways to help you lose those unwanted weight. For instance, green tea is an effective wight loss drink because it increases the way the body utilizes and metabolizes fat. Green tea benefits, however, goes way beyond weight loss benefits. It contains one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, epigallocatechin gallate or EGCE, which inhibits cells that cause cancer. Green tea also reduces the following; heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, esophageal cancer, and many more. These herbs or herbal belly fat burners are a safer more natural alternative to diet pills.

     Lastly, don't lose hope. Losing weight doesn't happen overnight. Think how good you will look in your favorite outfit several sizes down. The compliments you will be getting and the way you feel when you wake up every day is much more gratifying than you think and it will make your journey to the new you even more special.  

 

The First Step to Lasting Personal Change

You know, It really amazes me how many infomercials, webinars, websites, links, etc. are out there promising you a "new and proven" technique, method, or secret that can make you thousands of dollars weekly or even daily through a home based business using nothing but a computer and an internet connection. What's more convincing is that these adverts include testimonials of regular people, presumably just like you and I, who have actually used the course or product to make the kind of money promised to them. Well, a lot of people actually fall for these internet business courses and buy them with the hope that a few extra hours a day can help make ends meet or even pay off the mortgage.

The truth is, almost always these products or programs fail to deliver the goods and the consumer ends up searching for something better. Making money in the internet is real. The way to make money through the internet is careful planning, finding a profitable niche, selecting a product or service to fill this niche, advertise, advertise, and more advertise. When I say advertise I mean targeted advertising and not advertising blindly. Of course you need to master using the right keywords and action words in your ads to be more visible to search engines and search phrases. Action words are words which compels your reader(s) to act upon them or catch their attention long enough to arouse their curiosity. But enough of this internet money-making venture. My purpose for writing this post is not to teach you how to make money on the internet but to make you ponder on, and later investigate and delve deeper  the factors which circumvent around this simple notion- we are never truly content. We yearn for more than what we actually need. Sounds familiar? You know it does.

There comes a time in our lives when we have to take everything in retrospect and try to undermine why we aren't happy and contented with our lives. We need to limit our associations with material things and focus our efforts and energies on relevant key issues like health, relationships, personal growth, and global outlook.
A lot of times, when you ask somebody what the central focus of most of their problems are you'll know that it usually revolves around the issue of money. Don't get me wrong, we need money to survive in society but we don't need too much of it. The media has hardwired financial independence into our subconscious as something that is attainable only if we make more money than we actually need. Of course a lot of people would disagree with me but let me ask you this- you have heard of business execs or even CEO's of companies actually dropping everything and leaving their job to live in the tropics somewhere living on simple living and eager means, right? They leave their cellphones, emails, laptops, and other "tie-me-downs" behind and start living a simple, stress-free life, being one with nature, being at peace with themselves, and donating their wealth to charity.

I guess the one question which begs answering is why. Why would someone making millions of dollars leave all that behind? Why the sudden and drastic change in retrospect? The answer is they have had enough. They have reached a truer sense of understanding of what their actual needs are and how to go about attaining them. The revelation is intense and so life-changing that their complete reversion to the exact opposite is so sudden and without hesitation. What do they know that eludes us? They have learned to LET GO. Letting go is the first step to lasting personal change. Your complete and utter surrender to the fact that something has to change or something will give is the paramount move by which you will plant your cornerstones on. Learn to let go and accept certain truths in your life. I usually advice people to make an honest list of what they need to change in their life. Here is an example:

       1. If I don't change my eating habits and exercise more often I will be unhealthy and die early.
       2. If I don't mend things between me and my parent/ brother/ sister/ wife the distance grows between
           us.
Now, how about rewording the first statement as, " If I don't do anything to start being healthy I will never grow old enough to see my grandchildren!" and the second statement as " If I don't come out in the open and  patch things up they will never know how much i really love and care for them.". Do you see now how we need to see things in a different light at times in order to compel us to act upon them sooner?

Letting go is not easy. It is, however, necessary in order to move on. IN order for us to change we have to admit to ourselves that we needed changing. We have to accept the notion that we need to let go of some things in order to attain something new. An old life for a new one, if you will. The next post we will cover is about uncovering and defining your fears.
