To Lose Tummy Fat You Must Consider All Parts of the Fat Loss Cycle

What are these parts? How do they mesh together? What do you need to know to use them to lose FAT?

First, you must want to be healthy. If all you want to do is look good naked, you will do things not good for your body to get there. Resolve that you will learn each part of the cycle, be patient, do what is takes over time to get a healthy lean body.

Think about it though. If you get a lean body, your partner and others are going to want to have sex with you more often. Are you ready to make good choices? Will you let your attractiveness be a problem? Even if you become lean, and you don't change your attitude, you still won't like yourself. If you are unhappy with yourself, that is part of the reason you are not lean now. If you became lean, it would be for the wrong reason. You aren't somebody when you are lean, you are somebody when you are born. If you don't improve your thinking, speaking and attitude, you won't like yourself well enough to maintain your health.

OK, below is a list of the parts of the cycle.

What to Say When You Talk to Yourself 

Dr. Shad Helmstetter Ph.D.

Dr. Helmstetter is a giver. I was at a business conference where he attended and spoke; at his own cost as a benefit to all of us there. I never forgot it and now own this book plus the other two listed below. I think his books are practical and that self-talk is a way to counsel and encourage yourself to improved behavior. Want to start doing something new, to replace a habit you need to discard, Dr. Helmstetter's words can help you to get there faster and smoother. I don't believe change is easy, that is why just willpower alone is not enough. Harness the power of your own subconscious with improved self talk.

What to Say When you Talk To Yourself

My favorite book of Dr. Helmstetter. It covers many topics involving behavior and self talk.

Amazon Price: $7.50 (as of 10/13/2008)

Who Are You Really, and What Do You Want?

This will help you set goals that you really want to achieve or that you really need to achieve.

Amazon Price: $13.57 (as of 10/13/2008)

Self-Talk for Weight Loss: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, and Never Diet Again

If your focus is improved health through body fat reduction, then along with diet and exercise, this is an invaluable reference and guide to using your words to stimulate your own success.

Amazon Price: (as of 10/13/2008)

Watch Your Words - They Will Help You or Hurt You

The first thing you must do is get control of your tongue. It can convince you that you can do it and will do it OR It can convince you that you can't and won't do it and that it is OK to fail and that you are a failure. Start speaking to yourself kindly and supportively. NO Excuses, just support.

Using exercise to lose weight 

How to use professional advice to benefit and acceserate your weight loss.

Shari Rivera Sharp is an ACE certified personal trainer. She trains individuals over the age of 35, and often over the age of 50. She has special certifications to do this. I interviewed Shari on my free teleseminar Recipe to Look Better Naked Thursday July 31. She had some interesting things to say about decisions you must make before hiring a personal trainer, how to know if the trainer you are talking with is the right one for you, and what kind of exercises should you do to lose weight, help osteoporosis, strengthen unstable feet, and the benefits of swimming and water aerobics for strength and weight loss. If you would like to hear this interview, go to my blog, http://www.gettheskinney.com
Sign up for classes on Thursday nights in the box in the upper right corner and when your reply email comes to ask if you really did ask for this information say yes and then reply and ask for the link to Shari's interview. I will be happy to forward you that link.

The Beck DIET solution 

Dr. Judith S. Beck Ph.D.

Dr. Beck believes you must diet and exercise to lose weight but that what you think and say, especially to yourself is very important also. Maybe more important since your ability to take consistent positive action may hinge on your words more than your willpower. I own these books and use them in my coaching practice.

The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person

Dr. Judith Beck has achieved results with weight loss using cognitive therapy. According to Dr. Beck if your thinking isn't right you will sabotage any good results. You got to fix stinkin' thinkin' first. Dr. Beck has a work book to use with this text.

Amazon Price: $16.47 (as of 10/13/2008)

Beck Diet Solution Weight Loss Workbook: The 6-week Plan to Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person

Use this 6 week plan to help you get on track with your words and actions consistent with those words. A solid foundation to any program of behavioral change for weight loss.

NO FOOD IS FORBIDDEN

Amounts of many foods must be greatly reduced. After all, it isn't your slow metabolism that caused you to gain that weight, it was too many calories. If you were a car, you have gas in your tank, buckets on your seats, trunk, everywhere. You have too much energy stored. Now you have to burn it.

Diet alone is 10% successful at getting weight off and keeping it off.

DIET COMBINED WITH EXERCISE IS 90% EFFECTIVE AT GETTING WEIGHT OFF AND KEEPING IT OFF. THE QUESTION IS - WHAT KIND OF EXERCISE ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

"A BMI of 30 or above,tends to overheat and dehydrate you more quickly. Exercise slow, drink a lot."

There are 4 kinds of activities you should plan for.

1. Lifestyle - take the stairs, park far away, walk faster
2. Aerobic - These increase your heart and breathing rates
3. Strengthening - Working the muscles with weights, bands or your own bodyweight
4. Flexibility and Balance - Long muscles are stronger and good balance protects you as you age

You Need Stronger Muscles Where YOU remove the Flab 

Don't "Walk the Plank", BE the Plank!

A beginning isometric hold that exercises abs and back. You have to keep the muscles in balance. Watch this video and imitate.

Loose Tummy Fat Now - Why! 

Why start a landslide?

Here are reasons other than looking better to loose that fat now. Fat in your belly is actively producing chemicals that affect your body in bad ways. Those chemicals increase your blood pressure, make you feel hungry, increase your cholesterol and triglycerides, cause inflammation and make you resistant to the effects of your own insulin. None of those things benefits your health.

Loose fat and loose a bunch of problems. Fat loss is not quick and takes time and consistent effort, but is very beneficial. You will likely live longer healthier (restricting calories turns on genes associated with longevity). You will reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease, brain disease, cancer and joint deterioration. You will probably think you look better too.

Loose Tummy FAT now - Think yourself thin 

What you say to yourself is as important as anything else you do

What do you say when you talk to yourself? Do you say I can do it? Or do you say I can't. Or "It's hard.". Do you eat something not on your list for the day and then say "I blew it, may as well eat what I want now.". Do you sabbotage yourself with your self talk? It isn't easy to recognize but it is easy for someone else to recognize. If they do it out of comradery and friendship it is tolerable. Get yourself a language jar. Whenever your language is discouraging or is an excuse or promotes your failure instead of your success, put a designated amount of money in the jar. It can just be a penny. It isn't about the money, its about how you talk. Then money is a reminder and a penalty. You loose when you pay the jar. Plan to give the money in the jar to someone outside your family. Every month empty it and give it away. Roll it and count it first. Put the amount on a graph that shows your progress each month and put the graph on the refrigerator. Hold yourself accountable. You are able to do this, but you have to have your language straight, then diet and exercise will work for you. Think of your thoughts and words as a foundation for all your actions. Your actions spring from your attitudes and your attitudes from your words. Are you building dynamic, positive attitudes and actions? If not change your words! Literally you will think and talk yourself thin and it will stick forever.

Fat Loss vs Weight Loss 

Its fat you want to lose. You wanna look better naked don't you?

Is isn't weight you want to lose, it is fat. Here is some great info on this subject.

Before you start to Loose Tummy FAT Now, decide where you are starting from 

The process of change has 6 stages. Which one are you in?

Ask yourself this question. Am I ready and willing to do what it takes now to loose this tummy fat? Don't worry about what you did or did not do in the past. Are you ready now? If you are, you can begin to set a goal and set yourself up for success. If you aren't ready now I have another question.

Are you thinking about starting exercise in the next 6 months? If you are then you are in contemplation. It is the second stage of change and a good place to be. You should not begin yet. You need more information. Reading books listed on this site, especially Dr. Beck's or visiting gyms like Butterfly or Curves or talking to a dietitian are your next steps.

Not ready in 6 months. Ask yourself this question? Do I think I can do it sometime? If you don't think you can, you need to talk to someone who has. Ask a person who runs the local Weight Watchers site if you can talk to someone who has done what you want to do. Maybe you think you can't do it long enough, that it will take forever. A pound a week is a good goal, so what about half a pound a week? How long until you lost enough weight to be pleased? Twenty pounds would take 40 weeks but would drop you one or more sizes. If you need to loose 100 pounds then you are looking at 100 weeks. Less than 2 years. Do you plan to live that long? Will you be eating and walking around then? It is about today. What can you do today? Not what did you do yesterday? Today is all you have, what can you do today? It has to be consistent, not perfect. What about today? Get some information. If you are ready now, don't wait, start now. Even if you can only say, I am started, do it. You can make a decision and even if you aren't perfect you are on the journey. Just think like a thin person!

Loose Tummy FAT Now -a diet plan to give your landslide momentum. 

Eat right and you won't be able to stop the pounds from falling off.

Choosing enough calories with the best ratio of various foods, that is the goal.
These books can help you toward that goal without gimmicks. Learn the truth about a diet as best we know it, and loose that fat without loosing any muscle or harming any organs. You also want to take it off and keep it off. Don't act like or look like a yoyo! Start your personal landslide.

I am experimenting with the raw diet as part of my self health maintenance.

Loose Tummy FAT Now-top things to remember. 

What the research shows.

This list is intended to reflect the most important principles to be applied in loosing body fat and gaining muscle.
  • You must create a deficit of calories every day.
  • Walking 150 minutes per week is the best way to create a caloric deficit.
  • Long periods of less intense exercise (walking) reduces waist size and fat cell size.
  • Fat cell size reduction protects against diabetes.
  • If you can't run faster than 12 minutes per mile, walking is a better exercise to burn fat.
  • If you walk 30 minutes 5 days per week you need to use this formula to help you loose weight. Multiply your weight in pounds by 15. That is the number of calories you need daily to maintain your weight. Eliminate 20% of those calories per day to loose weight.
  • If you walk less use 13 or 14 times your weight. The idea is to exercise regularly and to keep your calories down.

Loose Tummy FAT now - understand how to burn your fat 

Fat is your fuel when there is nothing to eat. Make you body think that has happened.

Fat is stored fuel. One pound is 3500 stored calories. It isn't very dense so it takes up a lot of space. Increase your muscle mass, loose some fat and you are really going to loose the inches. To loose it now you must give your body a reason to burn your fuel reserves. The first rule for loosing fat now is eat less than you require to maintain your weight at your current exercise level.
If you don't exercise multiply your weight in pounds by 13. The number 13 is the number of calories per pound per day you need to stay the weight you are now. Cut your calories by 20%. Maintain that and you will loose. Do a little extra activity and you accelerate that weight loss.

Example: If a person weighs 200 pounds. That is 200 x 13 = 2600 calories per day. 20% of that is 520 calories. So, to loose one pound of fat per week that person should eat 2080 calories per day. Use 14 calories per pound per day if you walk 30 minutes at least 3 days per week. Use 15 if you walk 3-5 days per week for 30 minutes.

Not all calories are equal. Some foods make you use more energy to digest them and some increase your metabolic rate. Just drinking a quart of "refrigerator" cooled water per day will theoretically cause you to loose 5 pounds per year. You use that many calories to warm the water after you drink it.

If you can't hire a good Personal Trainer, these books are the next best thing. 

These books can help you plan your work and then you work your plan.

Good info is worth its weight in gold. Fortunately none of these books cost much gold. If you have not exercised in a while, start with Quick Fit or the Step Diet. For the person who walks regularly then Eight Minutes in the Morning or the better but more advanced Core Performance are the books for you.

Quick Fit: The Complete 15-Minute No-Sweat Workout

This is meant to be done in 15 minutes - a 10 minute walk, 4 one minute exercises and two 30 second stretches. As you get more fit and want more challenge, Bradley can help you. The author is well qualified to give the new exerciser advice. An excellent place to start if you have been sedentary for a while. Follow all of his start-up advice.

Amazon Price: $11.20 (as of 10/13/2008)

The Step Diet: Count Steps, Not Calories to Lose Weight and Keep It off Forever

I have done the 10,000 steps a day routine using a step counter (one is included here) and found that combined with restricting calories it was quite effective. This is a diffetent twist on that idea that I think is very workable. I do recommend this.

Amazon Price: $15.61 (as of 10/13/2008)

8 Minutes in the Morning: A Simple Way to Shed up to 2 Pounds a Week Guaranteed

Cruise has a website you should visit. I am basing my August diet and workout on his principles. I feel his diet is too expensive, too many different foods. Sounds great, but it will break your bank. You can use the principles though and have less variety.

Amazon Price: $10.17 (as of 10/13/2008)

The Core Performance: The Revolutionary Workout Program to Transform Your Body & Your Life

Do the premovement exercises before any exercise routine you do. The routines for beginners are a good place to start.

Amazon Price: $11.61 (as of 10/13/2008)

Loose Tummy fat now - don't wait to start 

Before you can loose weight now you have to make a decision.

DO THESE THINGS NOW!

First, make a decision to improve your health. Take responsibility for where you are now and take credit for all your progress from now on.

Second, get clearance to cut calories and do more exercise. Get yourself some top notch professional advice from your doctor, a dietician and a qualified personal trainer on those two activities also.

Third, start a landslide and it won't stop. There will be people to discourage you, (most of all your self-talk) and hurdles to jump over, climb over, or go around but build momentum to carry you through the process.

Do you know of anyone who did what you want to do? If they can, you can too. Don't make excuses, make things happen a little every day. Yard by yard it's hard, but inch by inch it's a cinch. Take it an inch at a time!

Let me know how you are doing. Leave me a message in the guest book.
