Do you want to lose weight? It can be as simple as this...


Do you want to lose weight?

Well It can be as simple as these 2 things, really:

Dietary control and exercise.
It’s true what they say – all you need to do is watch what you eat, and expend more energy than you consume. It’s really that simple. You can quit reading because you now know everything you need to know and didn’t need to fork over $500 for the privilege of hearing the secret of losing weight. You don’t need to read a 4,000 page book, you don’t have to buy a tape series, you don’t need to stay up late at night to watch infomercials to understand this basic premise. It’s 100% true. All you need to do is watch what you eat, and expend more energy than you consume.

Also change your lifestyle.
If you’re calling this a “diet,” then you’re going to gain all the weight back (and more) within a few months of losing it. Diets do not work. Diets are temporary. When you change your dietary lifestyle, however, you’re changing your habits – and you’re putting yourself on track for long-term / continued success and weight maintenance. Don’t ever tell anybody you’re on a diet – ever.

Weight Loss Tip: Watch The Size Of Your Food Portions


WATCH THE SIZE OF YOUR FOOD PORTIONS

The sizes of food portions have increased as the year’s pass, especially when it comes to ready meals and snacks. This means that we consume more calories, and adapt quickly to eating bigger portions and do not feel congested. Restrict potatoes, pasta, rice, fatty foods and sweets and select fruits and vegetables.

Have a laugh. It's good for ya!!


Have a laugh.  It's good for ya!!

If you are like most people struggling to lose weight, you’ve probably gone through some hard times... Amazingly, when you just want to cry about it, the best thing to do is to... just laugh.


Yes...Laugh


Did you know that while infants laugh about 300 times a day, adults only laugh an average of 17 times?


Have you ever felt exhausted after a bout of contagious giggling? Yes? That’s because you’ve just had a full aerobic workout!


believe it or not - there’s increasing scientific evidence that laughter, which is the greatest stress reliever improving your overall health and helping you fight disease; is also an important weight loss booster too.


Surprised?


Laughter lowers the harmful levels of stress hormones like epinephrine, cortisol and dopamine, which reduce (or even block) fat-burning.


So...Let's have a laugh, shall we!!


Amish Humor


Sign behind an Amish carriage:
"Energy efficient vehicle. Runs on grass and oats.
CAUTION: Avoid exhaust!"


Danger! Beware of dog.


As a stranger entered a little country store, he noticed a sign warning, "Danger! Beware of dog!" posted on the glass door. Inside, he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor beside the cash register. 
"Is that the dog folks are supposed to beware of?" he asked the owner. 
"Yep, that's him," came the reply. 
The stranger couldn't help but be amused. "That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?" 
"Because," the owner explained, "Before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him!" 


A Couple of Scottish Jokes


A Scotsman walking through a field, sees a man drinking water from a pool with his hand. 
The Scotsman man shouts ' Awa ye feel hoor thatâs full Oâ coos Sharn'
(Don't drink the water, it's full of cow s ** t.)
The man shouts back 'I'm English, Speak English, I don't understand you'.
The Scotsman shouts back 'Use both hands, you'll get more in.'


Jock and a Englishman were flying from Edinburgh when the stewardess approached. "May I get you something?" she asked. "Aye, a whusky" Jock replied.
She poured him a drink then asked the Englishman if he'd like one. "Never!" he said sternly. "I'd rather be raped and ravished by whores all the way to America than drink whisky!"
Jock  hurriedly passed the drink back, saying "Och, Ah didna ken there wuz a choice!"



Jamaican Offerings

A Jamaican Love Poem

 You're the ackee in my saltfish
 Condensed milk in my tea
 The patty in my coco bread
 Without you there is no me.

 Just like coconut water
 You're good for my heart
 And Mr.Wray without his nephew
 Is like when we are apart.

 When you wrap your arms around me
 Like banana leaf on blue draaws
 There is nothing I wouldnt do for you
 You know that im all yours.

 I want to be with you always
 Like when tin milk get short
 An dem marry it with it to de mackerel
 to make sure de mackerel get bought.

 Like carrot juice on Sunday
 Mango in the summertime
 I cant get enough of you
 Please tell me you will be mine.

 A Rastaman

 A Rastaman went to visit an old family friend. The
 Rastaman knock pon di door and smaddy inside seh: "
 a who dat?" The rastaman said: " It is I and I, Jah
 Rastafari, Kings of Kings, Lord of lords, conquering
 lion of the tribe of Judah, son of Haile Selassie I"
 The person inside replied: " A me one dey yah and
 mi nah open mi door fi so much a oonu".

The Skinny On Water




Did you know that as babies we are approximately 75 to 80% water and as we grow older this percentage decreases until the percentage is reduced to approximately 60 to 65% for men and 50 to 60% for women. The human brain is about 85% water and our bones are between 10 to 15% water.  So water is a very key element in the makeup of our bodies.   When it comes to the matter of losing weight water is also very important as it does wonders for cutting the appetite.  Your body also requires water for optimum health, therefore we should drink lots and lots of water.  Ideally we should have at least 8 eight ounce glasses of water each day.  This it self will discourage any tendency to gorge.  Water not only cuts your appetite, but it also prevents those "hungry horrors" we all sometimes encounter when our blood sugar drops and we reach for cookies, candy, ice cream, fries or other high-calorie treats. If you have more water in your body you will generally feel healthier and fitter, and water flushes out the system too, as well as rids the body of bloat and toxins and rosies up your skins complexion. However one of the best things about water is that is has no calories at all.

There is even scientific evidence that suggests that H2O really does help you lose weight. A group of researchers in Germany have reported that water consumption increases the rate at which people burn calories. The impact is modest and the findings are preliminary, but the researchers say their study could have very important implications for weight-control programs.  


How to lose weight fast....with water

1. Drink plenty of water. Our bodies needs a lot of water so give in to water.  Start your day with a glass of water. As soon as you wake up, gulp down a glass of cool water. It’s a wonderful way to start you day and you only need a lesser quantity of your breakfast drink after that. A glass of water lets out all your digestive juices and sort of lubricates the insides of your body. You may have your morning cup of tea but have it after a glass of water. It is good for you.

2. Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.

3. Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another great how to lose weight fast super tip and a way of making yourself full, another great weight loss tips, so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of drinking it in one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster.

4. Stay away from sweetened bottle drinks, especially sodas. All those colas and fizzy drinks are sweetened with sugar and sugar means calories. The more you can cut out on these sweetened bottle drinks, the better for you. So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet sodas.

5. Include in your diet things that contain more water like tomatoes and watermelons.These things contain 90 to 95 % water so that there is nothing that you have to lose by feasting on them. They fill you up without adding to the pounds.

6. Eat fresh fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. Juice is often sweetened but fresh fruits have natural sugars. When you eat fruit, you are taking in a lot of fiber, which is needed by the body, and fruits of course are an excellent source of vitamins. Note that another really great source of fiber is the Glucomannan in the Skinny Fiber product.  Dr. Mehmet Oz recently stated on his television show that Glucomannan was the best thing for weight loss.  Learn more about this and other ingredients in Skinny Fiber here  -->  Skinny Ingredients

7. If you do have a craving for fruit juice then go for fresh fruit juice instead of these that contain artificial flavors and colors. Or even better, try making your own fruit juice taking care not to sweeten it with too many calories.

Please Note!!

People with kidney conditions or other health issues where fluid intake needs to be limited should follow doctor's recommendations when dieting and/or before changing eating and drinking habits.
