Easy Weight Loss Diet Plan

"I need to lose 10 lbs..."

• In a week...


• In a month...


• Of Tummy Fat...not muscle...


• In a healthy way...


• FAST!!!

And so on.

This is a common dilemma among men and women who are overweight and fighting the battle to lose weight. The problem is that most people really don't know the right, or healthy, way to slim down. Once they decide that they want to lose weight they immediately jump to one of those "fad diets" (again!) and before they know it they are tired, hungry and cranky. And what happens next? You guessed it...they quit their diet, again. Another failed attempt to lose weight.

However, many people don't know that losing weight is really not that hard if you just know what to do. Of course, if you have some other medical condition like a thyroid problem that's causing the weight gain or obesity, then weight loss and fat loss is not easy and has to be taken care of other ways.

But for many of us, the weight gain problems that we're having are directly associated with the food we eat and many people just don't know what to eat. We are constantly exposed to all kinds of fad diets that only produce failure or short term success...and then failure. It's a cycle repeated over and over again. So, how can someone lose weight easily, without starving themselves with some fad diet where you're eating only this or that and counting every calorie that comes near your mouth?

It's real simple...blood sugar and insulin. Never heard about this angle to weight loss? Learn it and learn it now. It's healthy and natural, the best way to lose weight, hands down. It's not a fad diet. In fact, it's not a "diet" at all. It's just changing your eating habits and modifying your food choices so that you're giving your body exactly what it needs to do one very important thing...to get into Fat Burning Mode. That's it! And to do this, you really need to know how the food that you eat affects your blood sugar and insulin levels. You have to understand the Glycemic Index and how to use it. Glycemic Load is probably more important. You have to educate yourself on these subjects and then when you "get it", that tummy fat, or belly fat and excess weight will just melt away and you'll be shocked how well it works and how easy it is.

Here are a few tips to give you an idea of what you need to do. There are many good foods that you can eat that won't negatively affect your blood sugar and insulin levels. I can't list all of those here. This is why it is important to learn about those subjects mentioned above on your own.

• First, get yourself some literature on the Glycemic Index, the Glycemic Load, Insulin Resistance and how to eat correctly to get into Fat Burning Mode.


• Eat more green vegetables and more fruit. The right ones don't affect your blood sugar and insulin that much. They are also good sources of fiber, which slows digestion, again stabilizing sugar and insulin levels.


• Get your protein from chicken, fish and nuts (almonds and walnuts)


• Eat whole wheat "stone ground" bread instead of white bread.


• Cut out as much sugar as you can...use Splenda artificial sweetener.


• Watch your portions - the bigger the portion, the bigger affect it has on your blood sugar and insulin. (except foods that don't affect these levels much at all...and there are quite a few foods like this)


• Exercise!!! - if you're in Fat Burning Mode, your workouts will be way more effective...and the fat will really burn away. It works!

If you follow this type of eating habit and at the same time learn why this works (blood sugar and insulin effect), you'll drop 10 lbs very quickly and you'll feel like you really didn't deprive yourself of anything. The cool thing is, you'll drop another 10 lbs after that and that's when you'll realize that you finally "got it". No more fad diets...just a change in eating habits that really, truly makes you lose weight, naturally and in a healthy way. You just have to learn how to do it!

One of the coolest things that happened to me after I began eating right and following a Low Glycemic Diet was the easy weight loss. I got back on the treadmill and in a short period of time, I blew right threw the five or six pound "wall" that had always seemed to end my dieting and exercising efforts.

I had seen "Burn The Fat" many times before as I surfed the web trying to find answers. But without experiencing any real weight loss success at the time the actual relationship between eating right, exercising and fat loss hadn't really "clicked" for me yet.

Once I started experiencing the easy weight loss I finally saw that now my exercising efforts were much, much more effective. This was solely based on the fact that I was now eating right and in the way that my body was able to burn and utilize fat as it should. It was then that I bought Burn The Fat because now it all made sense. I also realized that I should have bought this book a long time ago. It would have saved me a lot of time and frustration as well as improve my health as much as it has.

And you should do the same if you find yourself in the same position I was in only a short time age.

• Get your own copy of Burn The Fat - Feed The Muscle. It's the best book on proper nutrition, what foods to eat, how to combine foods, when to eat different foods and how all of this affects whether your body is in "fat storage" mode or "fat burning" mode. It talks about good and bad fats, good and bad carbs and the glycemic index. It addresses exercising and a number of other issues related to getting your body into fat burning mode. It's just a great book! It's a great place to start. Get it!



• Keep learning! Find more books on blood sugar, insulin, insulin resistance, glycemic index, glycemic load and nutritional eating habits. You can now fine tune your diet and nutritional lifestyle! It's all stuff that you've learned about in Burn The Fat. You're just enhancing your knowledge now.



• Exercise. You don't have to get crazy here if you understand and implement the concepts and knowledge you'll gain from Burn The Fat.
  So, if you're on the path of weight gain, high blood pressure and elevated blood sugar, make some changes now.

Make 2009 the year that you won the battle with fat!

That's it...no magic...Burn The Fat...it works!

The first step to turning your health around is EDUCATION. You have to educate yourself on what is happening to your body and why. If you just keep blindly following fad diets, chances are that you'll fail again.

The little doctor's office scenario above is probably familiar to many of you. It was to me, too, because this is exactly what happened to me. And, one of the last things my doctor said to me was to "get back on the treadmill...that can be 80% of what's going on with you".

Now, I had already done the treadmill thing many times and it seemed that even though I'd diet strictly (not correctly!) and run like crazy on the treadmill, I'd only lose at most five or six pounds and that's it. I'd always joke that if I totally quit eating and ran three hours a day on the treadmill, I'd still only lose five or six pounds. The bottom line is that I knew the treadmill thing didn't work, but yet my doctor said it would. There was something different that I had to do to try to clear up this high blood sugar and high blood pressure. So, I started learning.

Luckily, one thing had always been in the back of my mind for a long time and I always wondered about it but never looked into it. It was the statement I read somewhere that "Insulin Is Called The Fat Hormone". But, I ignored it because I had nothing to do with insulin or diabetes...so I thought anyway.

And now, I decided to go right after that concept. I learned about the relationship between insulin, blood sugar, weight gain and obesity. And Insulin Resistance? Never heard of that. But I learned everything I could about it. Strangely enough, it wasn't long before I thought, or hoped, that I knew what was going on with me. It all had to do with what I was eating. Period.

What really saved me was learning about the Glycemic Index and how to use it to eat properly. What shocked me was how easy it was to eat correctly. No dieting, no starving. Just eating correctly. When I started back on the treadmill again, something quite shocking happened. I lost a few pounds. Then four, then five, then six pounds. But it kept going. Ten, twelve and then around twenty pounds. This happened all over a three month period and I didn't feel like I was really doing anything like "dieting". But there I was, around the same weight that I weighed in high school. So I knew I struck gold...I found that "something different" that worked! A diet following Low Glycemic principals is truly an Easy Weight Loss Diet. And, it's really not a diet, it's just a modification of how you eat. That's it!

Throughout the rest of this site, I'll go more into the concepts and things that I learned. But one place to start educating yourself is learning how to eat Low Glycemic meals. This changed my life. And I started with the Low G.I. Diet book above. Sure, I have more books now but that is where I started and this is where you should start also.

As I said before, the Low Glycemic Index Diet is not really a diet at all...it's simply a change in eating habits. Following a low Glycemic Index Diet plan can provide you with many, many benefits but you have to understand what it is, what it means and how it relates to the food that you eat everyday. More importantly, you need to understand how to use a Glycemic Index Diet plan correctly to modify your eating habits so that you, like many other people, can experience life changing results:

• Controlling obesity and weight gain with more success than ever before.



• Burn fat better and melt that Tummy Fat away!



• Achieving significant weight loss in a short period of time.



• Lowering your blood pressure naturally.



• Achieving better control of your blood sugar and insulin levels.



• Having abundant, sustained energy throughout the whole day...every day.



• Losing those "hunger" feelings and urges during the day.



• Seeing that following a low Glycemic Index Diet plan is not really dieting at all.



• Learning how proper nutrition can truly change your life forever!

Tummy fat, or belly fat, is the constant reminder of the battle of weight gain and fat storage for many people. It is another reason why so many diets fail and people give up on the battle against fat, especially fat around the waistline. Sure, they do lose weight and sometimes a good amount. But they hit a point where this stops and no matter what they do there are areas on the body where the fat just won't go away and they submit to the false realization that this tummy fat is "inherited" and just part of their genetic makeup. But can this be the only real reason for fat and fat storage around the waistline and lower body?

Well, not really. This is kind of a "yes" and "no" answer for a large part of the population that has the problem of becoming more overweight and see more fat being stored around their waistline as the years go by. Yes, there are genetic factors, of course, that make some people have the tendency to store more or less fat than other people. But eating habits, dietary lifestyle and how active or how much exercise a person gets can be huge factors for weight gain, obesity and yes, the tummy fat.

How many times have you tried a "new" diet and exercised like crazy only to find yourself getting the same results as your last futile attempt at dieting? Like many people:

• You lose some weight fast, but you still can't get rid of the fat around your waistline. It's like tummy fat is immune to any dieting or exercise.



• Your weight loss seems to slow down and almost stop, even if you increase your exercising.



• You end up hungry, tired and cranky.



• Your motivation drops and soon you end your latest attempt at losing weight and losing fat.

So why continue doing what you've been doing and getting the results that you've been getting? Why not try and do something different? Forget "fad" diets. Forget diets where you are starving yourself or depriving yourself. Forget diets!

Here are four magic words:

• Glycemic Index



• Glycemic Load



• Blood sugar



• Insulin

Why do I call these magic words? Because I was forced into learning about them...out of fear, after a routing physical (after many years) showed I had high blood pressure, too high of a fasting blood sugar level and could stand to lose a few pounds.

I learned about those four words and how they affect the body, especially blood sugar and high blood pressure. I also learned how those four things affect weight gain. To my surprise, I learned that the body can be put into fat storage or fat burning mode. No kidding! I didn't believe that until it happened to me.

Here are three things that you should really do:

• Learn about proper nutrition, or how to eat right and combine your foods to put your body into fat burning mode, not fat storage mode. It's easily done and it works!



• Learn as much as you can about the glycemic index, glycemic load, blood sugar and insulin and how all of these can greatly affect whether your body is in fat burning or fat storage mode.



• Exercise...not like a maniac...just normal exercise. If you are in fat burning mode, you don't have to be excessive here. Your exercising will now be way more effective than when your eating habits were terrible.

And what can happen? Your blood pressure can plummet and your fasting blood sugar level can return to more normal levels. You can start losing weight, at a good rate. And it will keep going and going. And finally, the biggest surprise. The fat will just be burning away from all areas of your body! You'll lose weight all around your waist and lower body...the infamous TUMMY FAT will be melting away! There are muscles you'll see that you haven't seen since high school and you might fit into jean sizes that you wore in 11th grade. This can be somewhat shocking. All of this can happen for you. All because of knowledge of proper nutrition and exercising.

So try something new and different. Forget diets. Do this:

• Learn about proper nutrition and what foods to eat. Learn how to combine foods, when to eat different foods and how this can put you into fat burning mode or fat storage mode.



• Learn about blood sugar and insulin and how this is related to fat storage or fat burning mode.



• Learn about the glycemic index and glycemic load and how these are related to blood sugar and insulin, which again, can determine if you'll be in fat storage or fat burning mode.



• Learn how to exercise properly and normally. You don't need to be a marathon workout nut if you apply knowledge of the three points above.

If you put effort into learning about the things mentioned in the four bullet points above, magical things will happen to your weight and overall health. And yes, there is a really good chance that the stubborn Belly Fat will melt away and you'll be truly amazed at your progress, what you see in the mirror and your weight loss.

You'll also realize how easy this is and will wish you had done this years ago!

And this is why Tummy Fat is a good thing sometimes. It can, and should, alert you to conditions that may lead to diabetes and heart disease. Hopefully, with the correct knowledge and determination, you can melt that Tummy Fat away and get back to being healthy again.
