The Three Pillars of Weight Loss Success

When it comes to effective weight loss, every little bit counts, and that includes a proper nutrition program, a good workout program and lifestyle change. If you really want to transform your body and prevent or even reverse diseases associated with obesity, you need these three pillars:

1. Nutrition:

There are three devastating nutrition realities:

Nutrition Reality #1: You can't out-train a bad diet. You can work out 2 hours a day and still get fat. Even if you resorted to a body builder's diet of chicken, broccoli and brown rice 6 times a day, you can still get fat by eating too much of it. The excess has to get stored somewhere - in your belly. It doesn't matter how "healthy" you eat if you consume too much of it.

Nutrition Reality #2: Diet is 90% of the equation. You can cancel out 2 days worth of working out with 3 minutes of consuming a donut and washing it down with a glass of chocolate milk.

Nutrition Reality #3: "Eating healthy" without a plan is guaranteed failure. You can eat healthy foods but how do you know if you've eaten too much or too little? What do you do when you jump on the scale at the end of the week and nothing has changed? How can you monitor and modify your nutrition program if you're just guessing and hoping what you're doing is working? How do you know how much food to buy?

Most people who try to lose weight fail because 99% of the diet programs out there aren't realistic or practical. You need a simple nutritional plan you can implement immediately, complete with the correct foundational nutritional principles. It's critical to start now and continue until you have developed the habits necessary to see results so that you stay motivated and finally perfect your body and health.

2. Exercise:

We all know that exercise is essential for good health, not only for weight loss because it burns calories and reduces body fat but it also helps strengthen your bones, increases circulation, lowers blood pressure and blood sugar, lowers bad cholesterol and raises good cholesterol, helps detoxify your body, strengthens your immune system and decreases depression by increasing serotonin in your brain, which, in turn, controls your appetite and mood. There are probably dozens of forms of exercise, including:

  • walking outside or on a treadmill
  • jogging
  • dancing
  • aerobics
  • swimming
  • water aerobics
  • rebounding (jumping on a mini-trampoline)
  • bicycling
  • hiking
  • golf
  • tennis
  • racquetball
  • working out in a gym or fitness center
  • ice-skating
  • roller-skating
  • gardening
  • raking leaves
  • jumping rope
  • weight or resistance training exercise

If you do something you enjoy, then exercising won't feel like work and you will be more likely to stick to it. The key is making it become a habit so that it's done on a regular basis.

3. Lifestyle change:

If you want to lose weight and keep it off forever, a lifestyle change is necessary. This happens by developing good nutrition and exercise habits you can live with that aren't too restrictive, burdensome, difficult or expensive, habits that you actually enjoy and are easy to develop and stick to.

Losing weight can be challenging, confusing and emotionally consuming -- unless you have a plan. If you have a plan that is designed specifically for you, with clear instructions on what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat and what to do when you "cheat" or your weight loss comes to a standstill and you follow that plan and incorporate some exercise, then your weight loss is guaranteed to happen, and once you have developed the habits necessary to see results, you will stay motivated and will be on your way to literally transforming your body and preventing or reversing any or all of the diseases associated with obesity.

Can Weight Loss Really Reverse The Diseases Associated with Obesity?

According to Dr. Toby Cosgrove, CEO of the Cleveland Clinic, who appeared on Fox News' On the Record, "It costs twice as much a year for health care for somebody who's obese than it does for somebody who's normal weight. It decreases the productivity of people, and it accounts for essentially 20 years of aging. In other words, if you're 40 years old and obese, it's equivalent to being 60 years old as far as health is concerned." Dr. Cosgrove went on to say that smoking, obesity and lack of activity are the causes of 70% of the chronic diseases and 40% of premature deaths in the U.S. and that 9% of the cost of health care comes from obesity.

Obesity is determined by the body mass index or BMI. There are BMI calculators online that will give you your body mass index instantly after entering your height and weight. The BMI categories are as follows:

  • underweight = less than 18.5
  • normal weight = 18.5 - 24.9
  • overweight = 25 - 29.9
  • obese = 30 or greater

Dr. Cosgrove, CEO of the Cleveland Clinic, also had this to say, "You're 20 times more likely to have diabetes if you're obese. You're twice the incidence of heart disease, twice the incidence of cancer. I mean, it just goes right up. And some people think that it is worth $50 a pound for how much you lose in the cost of health care."

How do we get fat? By being less active and eating more food, particularly more of the wrong foods or eating at the wrong times.

Dr. Cosgrove stated that it's not too late to reverse disease by losing weight, called disease reversal, and that high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol can all be reversed with weight loss. According to him, the Cleveland Clinic employees (6000 of them) have lost a collective total of 90,000 pounds over the last six months with diet, exercise and lifestyle change!

Here are just some of the diseases that can come from obesity and can, therefore, be reversed or prevented with weight loss:
  • diabetes
  • heart disease
  • some forms of cancer
  • sleep apnea
  • back and joint problems
  • increased tendency to contract infectious diseases
  • high blood pressure
  • stroke

Why is it so hard to achieve weight loss? It has to be a lifestyle change. When it comes to effective weight loss every little bit counts, and that includes a proper nutrition program, a good workout program and some extra help with supplements.

Losing weight can be challenging, confusing and emotionally consuming -- unless you have a plan. If you have a plan that is designed specifically for you, with clear instructions on what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat and what to do when you "cheat" or your weight loss comes to a standstill and you follow that plan and incorporate some exercise, then your weight loss is guaranteed to happen and you will be on your way to preventing or reversing any or all of the diseases associated with obesity.

Get lean, or stay fat. It’s your decision.

Why do I say that? Because this is your absolute LAST chance to get the program that is going to put your results over the edge, while being maintainable and livable, and DOABLE, before the price DOUBLES tonight.


==> http://losestubbornfatfast.com/


You want to talk about why people fail? It’s because 99% of the diet programs out there aren’t realistic. They aren’t practical.


But that’s NOT this program. This one is special. This one is going to be a GAME CHANGER for you because it’s just so incredibly livable.

Not only that, but you get to EAT NORMALLY to get you the head-turning physique you’ve always wanted--FASTER.

This program, this BLUEPRINT, is getting ready to set you free, but only when you invest in it before midnight tonight.


==> http://losestubbornfatfast.com/


Wait a minute, I take that back. You can still get the program tomorrow, but if you do, it’s going to be more than DOUBLE the price -- and why pay that when you can get it for HALF that for the next few hours?

Where's your NUTRITIONAL TEMPLATE?

What could buying a wedding suit have to do with losing body fat?


A lot more than you think.


Especially when it comes to "Fat Loss Nutrition."


Muscle and six-pack author, Vince DelMonte, discovered some interesting similarities to help you BLAST YOUR FAT FASTER while he was shopping for a wedding suit.


Here's what Vince shares:


"I always believed that creating a custom tailored wedding suit was extremely complex, ultra expensive and required an overly experienced and skilled tailor. Yet, I found a tailor who made the process SIMPLE.


I discovered that every custom suit begins with a SINGLE TEMPLATE. Over time and multiple fittings and modifications, eventually the suit becomes exquisitely tailored.


=============================
My revelation can be plainly put,
the perfect suit begins as NOTHING
MORE than a one-size-fits all template.
==============================


Nutritional perfection (fat loss and muscle building), requires the same.


You need to begin with a simple, basic nutritional template and test it out; tweaking it according to the results you experience, and only you.


Only by beginning here can you arrive at the final destination - a perfect nutrition and eventually a perfect body.


=====================
There is NO magic diet plan
=====================


There is no magic diet book or test or "eat right for your blood type" kind of solution.


In our combined 20 years of experience in the nutrition field, the best way you can get your best body ever is to follow a meal plan that is based on concrete nutritional principles plus your own informed trial and error.


In other words, you begin with a BASIC NUTRITIONAL PLAN, based on the best nutrition information available, test it and modify the nutritional plan based on if you're gaining muscle or losing fat.


The problem is that 90% of the nutrition info available is CONFUSING, CONTRADICTING and CONSUMING.


Which is completely unnecessary and ridiculous.


============================
Getting the perfect body and perfect
meal plan must begin with an ORIGIN
============================


If you're not prepared to put in some time, effort, discipline and pay attention to a few details, then getting and keeping a rock hard body (forever) may NOT be in the cards for you.


Sorry.


You need a BASIC TEMPLATE that you can begin with, a simple "done-for-you" template to start, test and modify (if even necessary)."


Today I want to DIRECT YOU to the best FAT LOSS MEAL PLANS I've ever seen. Vince DelMonte and Empowered Nutrition want to give you a complete 3-phase system called, "Done-For-You" Fat Loss Meal Plans.
