does anyone have calorie shifting diet program from Fat Loss 4 Idiots they bought that they can give it to me pls i need it ty

I did many different program to lose my weight, but nothing worked untill I got this amazing program. It works very well and I lost my weight fast after I got correct program. I lost 15 pounds in 4 weeks and it was so fast. If you are very serious and really want to lose weight you should check this out. You can find info from link below.

I already diet and exercise but I seem to put on muscle more easily than I do burning off the fat. What is the best way to burn fat?
My current diet is a low carb, low fat diet (im a diabetic so naturally I am always dieting)
Currently I kickbox, run, dance, hike and mountain bike.

Your activities are varied and that’s great, but doing exercises in short intervals will help you burn a lot of calories as well. Running on a treadmill, for example, at a constant pace for say 25 minutes is great but you could really step it up a notch if you jog for 8 minutes, then go up to a sprint for 4. Then you can slow down for a slower jog and go fast again. These sudden changes of pace makes your muscles and heart work harder adjusting to the changes and not become stagnant.

Also lifting weights, believe it not, helps the body burn fat as well.

i know that the musle contactions (shivers) create heat as a by-product of muscle contraction. not quite sure how but i know they do. so the heart beats faster to create heat which also causes the blood vessels to contract more, creating heat, and the friction from the blood inside the blood vessels creates heat. but how does the body ‘burn’ fat to create heat? I know fat is used somehow, somewhere in the body to create heat but have no idea how.

Fat is not as easy to convert into energy as cabohydrates. When we feel cold, the hypothalamus in our brains sends signals to the pituitary gland, which in turn signals the thyroid gland to release hormones into our blood. The thyroid hormones will signal every cell in our body to convert glucose into energy. When the cell metabolizes glucose, heat is a byproduct. When the body runs out of glucose, then it will turn to converting proteins and fat into energy.

Our muscles will also shiver involuntarily when we are cold to generate additional heat when we are cold.

What are some good exercises to burn fat off your thighs?

you cant just burn fat off your thighs, simply because no one can spot reduce. But if you want some exercises at home, you could do about 30 squats w/ your body weight and 30 jump squats…that should provide some definition in your legs.

Has anybody tried either start your diet.com or fat loss 4 idiots.com to lose weight? I’m trying to lose 20 pounds for a vacation and Ive been dieting but i cant seem to lose the weight. Ive seen in the internet that these two websites are really good but i want to take it from someone who has already tried it. Please tell me your experience if you have tried it. thank you.

A lot of people are having good success with Fat Loss 4 Idiots. It is one of the best selling fat loss and diet programs on the net today and it sold over 600,000 copies in 2008 so it must be pretty good.

Here’s a pretty involved review of it that explains in detail how it works:

How can I burn fat on the treadmill high intensity without the incline?

- My treadmill has a manual incline which means to move the incline I have to step off the treadmill and do it myself. The hault in the workout to do this doesn’t sound to motivating.

use it long and dont run too fast

Obesity: Social Prejudices and the Medical Community’s Disregard

It’s a meaner world out there folks. Everywhere you turn there are people who choose to be hateful in deed and word for just about any reason you can think of. There is the obvious and not so subtle racism, class prejudice, ageism, and political polarization, just to name a few.

That’s not to say that there are not exceptions to every rule but so many people have adopted political correctness to such a degree that humans have found much more subtle ways of showing their hatreds.

Some of these behaviors have gone underground only to emerge in our institutions, businesses and social strata. Sure it’s always been there but now it appears that its effects are more noticeable and very, effectively dehumanizing to those on the receiving end of the many prejudices and bigotry being voiced concerning those of us who are not a size 5.

Obese, heavy, overweight people are REALLY catching hell. People assume that when they see an overweight or obese person that they must be lazy, unproductive; lacking the will to take better care of them selves. I am sure that a small percentage of people in the USA fit that bill, however, you may be surprised that most of them do not.

There are many reasons for obesity. The bottom line though is that people who are obese or become obese have bodies that literally no longer work the way they are supposed to.

Here are a few medical and non-medical reasons people become obese:

Processed Foods: White-flour-based anything, sugar, coffee, booze and high sodium content (all of which usually make up processed food) is the enemy of the human body. It doesn’t know what to do with it but glean what little nutrients it can, store the majority and dump the rest.

Hypothyroidism: Since the thyroid controls the basic workings of the human metabolism, if it is too low, then it cannot convert many food calories into a usable source and that inability will cause weight gain despite healthy eating practices. When the thyroid goes wacko on the low end you WILL get fat. If it goes wacko on the high end, you can lose weight exponentially and have as many medical problems as an obese person.

Cushing’s Disease/Syndrome (Cushing’s disease has always been considered a dog or horse problem, hmmm go figure): This disease is “reportedly” prevalent in only 10% of each million people if you want to believe what the CDC, FDA and AMA bother to report. Cushing’s occurs because the body producing too much Cortisol. Cortisol controls regulation of blood pressure and the immune system, and keeps insulin levels in the body stable. In Cushing’s Disease, it is assumed that only a tumor on the pituitary gland is responsible for the production of excess Cortisol. However, a few other doctors disagree and have found that Cushing’s Syndrome can also be caused by food dependency and steroid- based products such as Prednisone; especially if they have been taken for long periods of time.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: is a hormonal disorder in women. Most women would not know to ask their doctors to have them tested for this disease because the medical community considers it rare. I dare say it may be the norm today with the amount of hormones coming through our food products for many years.

Oral Contraceptives: Progestins and other steroid based drugs for cancer often throw the thyroid out of balance and injure the Hypothalamus, which usually results in weight gain.

Anti-Psychotic and Anti-Depressants: Taken even a short time, depending on the health of the thyroid or hypothalamus, will cause either weight gain or Weight Loss. The majority is weight gain especially in those taking these drugs for many years. I am doing research now as to how many people taking these drugs have had their thyroid effected, treated ,or removed.

Insulin and Insulin-Stimulating Drugs: These drugs are used to treat diabetes almost always leads to weight gain. Talking about a conflict of interest when it comes to a person already overweight from diabetes and deeply disturbing for those with type 2 diabetes

Doctors, pharmaceutical companies, the diet industry, and exercise businesses have a vested interest in keeping as many people obese as possible. Money.
I mean do you know how much a lap-band and stomach stapling costs? In some instances Medicare will pay for these surgeries before they pay for the many tests available to diagnose any one of the above stated problems.

Instead, millions are spent on denigrating people who find themselves obese and have no clue why. Billions are spent on gyms, get-thin drugs, exercise tapes and books, special foods, diet clubs, plastic surgeons and equipment, by people desperate to reclaim active, healthier lives and avoid the worse part…social stigma.
