Dieting Secrets No One Will Tell You
Unconventional method to dieting. No pills, no strenuous workouts, no counting calories, and you do not have to starve yourself either! Lose weight while increasing your happiness. Just simply do more of the things you already enjoy and maybe try some new activities. You don't know what you like until you try it.
I gave up dieting back in High School. Reason being is because even way back then, I could see that when dieting I always gained weight! I would tell myself that I needed to lose weight, to stop eating sweets, cut down on meals, no more junk food, and I will eat more salads. I would even convince myself that I liked salads, (which I do, only in small portions with my meal). Luckily, I was never really over weight... it was just my teenage mentality thinking we should all look like super models in order to be happy.
I would do sit ups (which I hated) and even tried running (really hated that). I checked the scale several times a day, only to find I gained extra pounds!? This was frustrating to say the least. Next thing I knew, my clothes were tighter and tighter, and now I really felt I was FAT and was too embarassed to be seen by anyone. This led to depression, and finally anger.
The anger and frustration made me give up on dieting. However, once I did, I began to lose weight immediately! I now see that when I was focused on not eating, I was hungry all the time. All I wanted to do was EAT. When I let go however, I was focused on everything teenagers enjoy! I was out and about , having fun, and the weight just rolled right off me! So that was it, I never looked back, and never dieted again.
I am now in my forties and wear a size zero or a two. I realize that sounds scary to some, but I have a small frame and I am comfortable with my size. I love my body, so I nourish it with healthy foods that I really do like! I eat all kinds of foods throughout the day...fish, pasta, veggies, soups, salads, cookies, cake, etc.
I love swimming, yoga, playing tennis, and walking. God, I love to walk! I stay active with my job and with life, so I am getting plenty of exercise without even thinking about it! I have found that as my happiness increases, my weight simply decreases.
I am now in the best shape of my life. Mentally, physically, and spiritually. It just keeps getting better and better which is why I made this lens. I just wanted to share this experience and hopefully, I can help others achieve this level of happiness.
What you think and feel inside creates your outer world.
Dieting Secrets No One Will Tell You
You Bring About What You Think About...
Yes. It's true! You can create anything you want simply by choosing your thoughts accordingly. So why not choose thoughts of being thin? Now I don't mean to say this is easy, however with practice and repetition it will become easier in time. We are all creatures of habit. We want to be where we feel safe and comfortable, which is exactly where we are. So the hard part is getting out of that safety zone. You will have to work on controlling your thoughts. Most people let their thoughts control them and are not even aware of that!
So, how do you control your thoughts? There are several ways to do this and several books to tell you how. Obviously, I can't list them all for you, but my favorite is by playing a perfectly legitimate trick on your subconscious by telling it your desires as if they are already fact! Say them out loud, with full belief that it is so. Do this repeatedly as much as often. Soon it will become natural for you and your subconscious will consider them to be fact, and will have to make it so... Consider your mind to be a garden. Your positive thoughts will produce beautiful flowers and trees, while the negative ones will only produce more weeds. You are the gardener, which do you prefer?
So my secret to dieting is believing you are already thin, and you have the most perfect metabolism! It allows you to eat whatever you want whenever you want. Now to me, that's comfortable! Maybe lying on the sofa or bed in my comfy clothes eating cookies and milk. There really is no harm in that except for a few crumbs. I actually believe cookies can be good for you unless you're eating an obscene amount of them. Then again, I also believe I can eat whatever I want and I will never put on extra weight. I truly believe this and it is so. I do have trouble finding clothes in a size zero at times, but considering the alternative, I can live with that.
However, most people are convinced if you do that you will gain several unwanted pounds over night! Now there is the real problem...You believe it, therefore your subconscious makes it so!
Now the reason no one will tell you this is that it's so controversial. It is extremely hard for most to accept, and I don't blame them. It is a very hard concept to grasp, especially if you're already over weight. But the truth is anyone can do this. If you are going to lose weight, you have to start somewhere. Why not start by believing not only that you will lose weight, but that you already have! And you will lose more everyday until you reached your perfect size.
Post pictures of yourself all throughout your home when you were that size. It will help with your visualizations. Our mind automatically thinks in pictures, so you always want to picture yourself as thin and seeing pictures constantly will just make it easier. If you don't have pictures of yourself, it's O.K. to use someone elses body. Be creative, cut and paste your head to the body you wish to have.
You already know about diet and exercise. This is very important to every human being. You want to eat healthy foods because you love your body. This is not a chore. Your body takes such good care of you and you should want to return the favor. Fruits, vegetables, seafood, pasta, bread; it's all good for you when taken in moderation. I suggest eating lots of little snacks. This way you are always satisfied, and it keeps your metabolism running, so it won't slow down, and then you won't need to restart it. The more it gets used, the better it works!
Then we have exercise! I can't state the importance of this enough. Get plenty of exercise! The more, the better, the key to this is to "Have FUN With It!" Only do what you like to do anyway. Go for a walk, join a gym, there you can swim, use special equipments, meet people, etc. Take classes in karate, yoga, and dance? The list just goes on and on. Maybe play tennis. It's great if you have a friend do this with you, if not it will open you up to meeting more people who do share in these activities. Therefore, you will make new friends.
This brings me to the last part of this great secret. Remain happy by keeping good thoughts, and keeping busy with activities you enjoy doing. By keeping active you are bound to eat less anyway, and those happy thoughts will only create more of them. "That's the law of attraction." Whatever you give the most thought to, you are attracting more of it into your life.
Emotions blended with our thoughts helps to manifest them quicker. Love is the most powerful emotion of all. Ever notice when someone falls in love for the first time, they immediately lose weight? Faith is another strong one, as is gratitude. Have faith in yourself, God, and the Universe that you will reach your goal while developing deep feelings of gratitude as if you already have.
So, how do you control your thoughts? There are several ways to do this and several books to tell you how.

Best Tip I Ever Got Was From Anthony Robbins!
Invest in a Juicer. Fresh juice is the quickest, most effective way to get all your vitamins and nutrients...
You will get more mileage from a juicer than a car.
Fruit should always be eaten on an empty stomach. It can then move quickly through the stomach to the small intestine, where it is processed into energy.
If you can eat nothing except fresh fruit until noon each day, you will be off to a great start!
Fruit gives off natural energy, which is better than coffee.
Top Ten Dieting Secrets
Simple Dieting Tips To Lose Weight Easily...
I like to use the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) method as much as possible in my life, this applies especially to dieting. Here are ten quick and easy steps you should be able to follow everyday of your life. Not only lose weight , but increase your happiness as well.1) Always think of yourself as the perfect weight. Picture this in your mind and throughout your home.
2) Eat a well balanced diet. Fruits, vegetables, pastas, breads, cheese, etc. Enjoy all the food groups, only spread them throughout the day.
3) Make time for breakfast. People who eat breakfast consume 100 fewer calories a day than those who skip it.
4) Eat everything in moderation. One donut is fine; you don't need to eat the whole box! But do try to have lots of healthy snacks too! It is better to have lots of small meals than one large one, or in some casee THREE!
5) Get plenty of exercise! Just have fun with it, raise your adrenaline by doing more of the activities you already enjoy, or try some new ones you may like. Anything is worth trying once.
6) Be happy! Thoughts mixed with good feelings will manifest quicker. Happiness produces endorphins; same as exercise. By focusing on your inner fullfillment, it takes your mind off dieting, which is what you want.
7) Replace regular dairy with soy in your morning cereal and coffee to help burn extra calories all day. The milk contains a protein that recent animal studies hint can help with weight loss by killing fat cells.
8) Learn some basic yoga. The importance of yoga is that it aids in mind , body, and spirit all working together. This is also the key to happiness, and you don't have to do a full routine to achieve this. You can still reap benefits by spending just a few minutes a day...
9) Drink plenty of water! Do not skimp on this one. Not only is water the most vital ingredient of your body, it keeps away hunger, and is also great for your complexion!
10) Watch less television. It is the comercials you want to avoid, and the boredom. If you are watching T.V. just to pass time, try reading a book instead. You will gain much better results by stimulating your mind and spirit while giving your body some well deserved rest.

Diet Tips for Your Zodiac Sign
By Donna West
Did you know that each zodiac sign has it's own best way of losing weight? Here are some diet tips as to what each horoscope sign should do to lose weight and feel great.ARIES
The key to losing calories for the fleet footed Aries is running. Any kind of boxing or dancing exercise can also help the Ram lose weight. Eating barbecue foods devoid of fat helps Aries lose weight. Investing in a George Foreman Grill is a good idea.
TAURUS
The Bull hates to exercise, but they don't mind gardening. Fixing up the house and tooling around the garden can help them lose quite a few calories. They need to stay away from pastries and cakes as well as drinking beer.
GEMINI
The best way for a Gemini to lose weight is though walking, running or dancing. Bored Geminis also like more off beat work out routines, like sword play or Strippercise. Avoiding oily Chinese food helps them drop pounds.
CANCER
This water sign loses the most weight when immersed in water. Long distance swimming or aquafit can help peel off the pounds, as can cutting out cream laden coffees.
LEO
These incredibly athletic individuals do really well at competitive sports. Tennis, football, baseball or anything that involves winning helps them strip off the weight. They need to avoid the temptation to eat junk food and sugar laden sodas.
VIRGO
Virgos hate to exercise but they really like the discipline of circuit training. Joining an expensive gym where there is a routine that is the same every day works best for this sign. They need to avoid ice cream and chocolate to avoid gaining weight.
LIBRA
Librans prefer a balanced diet and should drink plenty of water to keep their systems fluid and free of harmful items. Libras also should consume plenty of fiber for cleansing. Libras are less inclined for strenuous activity and more prefer a leisurely pace at the health club.
SCORPIO
These adventurers do best with long nature walks or even a long walk to a mall. They also enjoy jogging, rowing, and going to gyms so that they can try to make new friends. Overeating at each meal can be this sign's weakness.
SAGITTARIUS
Hikes, both long and short, really help this sign to shed the pounds. They are also excellent long distance bikers. Drinking too much beer and calorie laden alcohol causes them to gain weight.
CAPRICORN
Capricorns are creatures of routine and like to go to a luxury spa or gym to work of the pounds. However, many of them simply work off the weight by cleaning up around the house as they are fastidious housekeepers. Staying away from microwaved foods helps them lose weight.
AQUARIUS
Hiking, biking and long strolls through parks and museums help this sign lose weight. They also really enjoy gentler team sports. Sticking to a mostly vegan diet can help them drop the pounds.
PISCES
This water loving sign loses weight through swimming. They also excel at long distance running, rowing, and any sport that requires some stamina. Eating a diet of fish and vegetables helps them strip off the weight.
Donna West is a professional writer and researcher on psychics and astrology.

5 TIPS TO SPEED UP METABOLISM
Fresh From The Negative Calorie Newsletter
A few tips to help you speed up your metabolism... As always, besure to consult your physician BEFORE implementing diet and
exercise into your daily routine.
1. Eat more often! That's right. You've got to start eating more
often. 5 to 6 small meals a day to be specific. This keeps your
body thinking that it's full and satisfied. This also speeds up
your metabolism which helps your body to burn fat faster than
simply eating 3 bigger meals a day.
Approximately 10% of the calories we consume every day go toward
digesting and absorbing food so the more times you eat, the
greater this effect is likely to be.
2. Get spicy! Spice up your meals... Spices containing capsaicin
raise metabolism by up to 50 percent for up to three hours after
eating, due to increasing your heart rate. Try substituting
spices containing capsaicin in place of salt and pepper.
3. Eating fish can burn up to 400 calories a day and is chock
full of outstanding protein (and protein makes your body burn
more calories to digest it!) The Omega-3 contained in fish is
also great for your heart. If you don't like to eat fish, take
a fish oil supplement in a capsule.
4. Eat Fiber. Fiber requires your body to burn more calories to
digest it... Do you see the theme here?
Some fiber rich food requires your body to burn almost as much
calories to digest as the amount of calories in the food itself!
Dark leafy greens are one of the best sources of fiber as well
as dried fruit, Aduki and fava beans, whole wheat pasta,
raspberries, bran and barley.
Other good sources include lentils, sweet potatoes, oranges,
pears, apples, peas, wheat bran, legumes, skin of fruit and nuts
and seeds.
Fiber also sends that "I'm full" feeling to your brain but it's
not fattening and it actually SLOWS the absorption of fat from
what you're eating. Imagine that!
Drink a healthy amount of water when eating fiber or it may soak
up water and nutrient stores from inside your body.
5. Speaking of water... Drink iced water! That's right... 8
glasses a day to keep your body clean and regular. Drinking iced
water also burns more calories (speeding your metabolism) to
process it. Add a slice a lemon to your water for a little
taste.
Now how hard would it be to implement the above 5 tips? Try
implementing one tip a week. Get into the routine of speeding up
your metabolism.

The challenge is that in today's complex world, it's so easy to get caught in the process of achieving so much, that it's sometimes easy to lose focus of what you really want. We believe to attain an extraordinary life—a life on your terms, one filled with unbridled joy, ultimate success and lasting fulfillment—it's imperative you make progress in the areas of life that are most important to you. Anthony Robbins has uncovered and refined a unique system for anyone who wants to take their life to the next level.

Get The Body You Deserve With Tony Robbins
Revive, Rejuvenate and Restore Your Body...
I felt this one deserved a place of its own...Anthony Robbins has spent the last three decades studying the principles of vibrant health, vital life and physical mastery, and he has applied them to his own life with extraordinary results. What he has discovered in his own pursuit of fulfillment is that health is not merely the absence of disease but a metabolic state in which the mind and body are functioning at peak efficiency.
By creating this base of extraordinary vitality and energy where your body is performing at maximum capacity, you also create the necessary base for achievement and fulfillment in other areas of your life-your relationships, your career, your finances, and your spirituality. A strong, vital body enables you to fully embrace and enjoy whatever it is in your life that you are most passionate about.
By teaming up with former Harvard Nutritionist Dr. Stacey J. Bell, Anthony Robbins has specially formulated each Inner Balance product to give your body what it truly needs:
Why is this my number one choice? Here are four very good reasons:
1) Balance at the cellular level is created by ensuring that each product delivers the proper dosage required for its intended benefits. Regardless of how good an ingredient may be, providing too much or too little can disrupt the balance and render the product ineffective.
2) Quick absorption ensures that the active compounds in the product begin working as soon as they enter the body.
3) Fresh and natural ingredients from pure food sources help you achieve the exceptional health you deserve naturally. Unlike other cleansing support products that use artificial or low-quality ingredients, Life Balance products are made from the highest-quality ingredients found in nature, and they are completely free of artificial colors and flavors. In fact, most Life Balance products contain no dairy, yeast, hormone, peanut or gluten.
4) Whatever your immediate goal-better daily nutritional health, a cleanse, weight loss, or exercise enhancement-Inner Balance products will help you take your overall health and energy to the next level. Remember: you can make progress toward your goals and improve your health through supplementation alone; however, the best and most lasting results occur when you also make positive lifestyle and nutritional decisions that support your health goals.
I am constantly amazed with Anthony Robbins. I have listened to his recordings, read his books, and once had the privelege of seeing him LIVE. Powerful stuff. His energy is limitless and he makes perfect sense of everything.
He is not just a great motivator, but a humanitarian as well. I admire anyone who can be so rich and famous, and yet remain so down to earth. Tony has managed to create success in all areas of life while keeping his honesty, momentum, and integrity in tact.
I actually stopped eating meat instantly while reading "Unlimited Power". It shocked even me, that I was able to give it up so quickly and with no regrets. I have never looked back and feel better than ever! His books and recordings are just full of useful knowledge.
Like I said, this is LIFE CHANGING. Changing the way you view yourself for starters. Embrace the Power of Now and begin today. You will be grateful for the rest of your life.

8 BIG FAT LIES ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS PILLS
By: Stephanie Marqetts
We've all seen them - those eye catching diet control adverts which make big claims and give us hope there's a simple solution to losing weight.Their claims are most often unjustified... in fact just straight BIG Fat Lies!
You should be skeptical of what you read in the thousands of weight-loss products advertisements you see in magazines or on television.
Here's some examples...
Lie #1 Lose 20 pounds in just 7 days!
We've all seen the ads which promise that their product will make large amounts of excess fat 'melt away' in days, or even disappear as you sleep! The truth is that it is impossible to lose huge amounts of weight that quickly.
Even if you could lose anywhere near that much weight it would be mostly fluid. Losing any more than 3-4lbs a week can cause gallstones and other health complications. The best - and safest - way to lose weight is gradually... that way it's much more likely to stay off.
Lie #2 Eat as much as you want and still lose weight
Some ads say you can continue to eat whatever you want and you'll lose weight as long as you're also taking their product. The truth is it's impossible to eat unlimited amounts of food - any kind of food - and still lose weight.
The only way to lose weight is for your body to use up more calories than you take in through food. If you don't make changes to your diet and lifestyle to get that balance right then you won't lose weight by just popping a pill. Some products may help curb appetite or cravings but you still have to watch what you're eating.
Lie # 3 Lose weight without exercising
Another BIG FAT lie! Being a couch potato does not burn many calories!
The truth is that exercise boosts your metabolism and makes your body burn more calories. The only way that some weight loss pills boost your metabolism regardless of exercise is because they contain massive amounts of stimulants such as caffeine or ephedra. The unpleasant and possibly dangerous side-effects of such stimulants are well known.
No pill in the world can substitute for the positive effects of exercise, but a quality weight loss supplement (which doesn't contain high amounts of stimulants) will work with your body and exercise to boost your metabolism and help burn fat faster.
Lie #4 "Natural" means safe
Many advertisements for weight loss pills promise the product is safe just because it contains herbs or other 'natural' ingredients.
The truth is that natural does not necessarily mean safe. Some natural substances can have unwelcome side -effects ranging from unpleasant to dangerous, or they may interact with other medications you might be taking.
Caffeine is a common ingredient in many weight loss pills (often disguised in green tea, guarana or kola) but very high doses can cause palpitations and in extreme cases, even heart failure. If you have blood pressure problems you need to be particularly careful about your choice of weight loss product.
Lie #5 "Ephedra-free means no jitters"
We all know that ephedra is a strong stimulant which can cause unpleasant and sometimes dangerous side-effects. That's why it's been withdrawn from use in weight-loss products.
The truth is that manufacturers of many weight loss pills have simply substituted one strong stimulant for another! They now include high amounts of substances such as citrus aurantium (also called bitter orange or synephrine) or caffeine (in the form of green tea, kola, guarana or yerba mate). These are all strong stimulants and can cause exactly the same unpleasant side-effects as ephedra.
Lie #6 "Backed up by scientific proof"
Many weight-loss product advertisers shout about scientific research to back up the claims for the key ingredients in their formulas. What isn't so obvious is that the studies often used different amounts of the key ingredients to the amounts used in the product. Often the products contain such small amounts of the key ingredients that they're practically useless.
A common trick for disguising the low amounts of key ingredients in a product is to bunch them together under the term "proprietary formula". The amounts of each ingredient are usually not shown so you can't see how little you're actually getting for your money!
The truth is that very few weight-loss ingredients have been clinically proven to work at the levels that can be practically used in a weight-loss pill. So next time you see an ad which shouts about scientific proof take a few minutes to read the fine print!
Lie #7 "Targets trouble spots such as tummy and thighs"
Wouldn't it be great if you could just take a pill to reduce excess fat in certain areas of your body?
The truth is that it's just not possible and any advertisement which claims that its product can spot-reduce is lying. Exercise can tone up muscles in specific areas and give the appearance of weight-loss but actual fat-burning is a process which occurs evenly throughout the body.
Lie #8 The more ingredients in a formula the better
Scan the labels of many weight-loss products and you'll see that many contain a long list of ingredients thrown together for no apparent reason, or under the pretext of some vague claim.
The truth is many of these ingredients are either unproven or they're included at amounts which are ineffective. There is only a handful of really effective weight-loss aids. Some of the ingredients to look for are forskolin, green tea, hydroxycitric acid, gymnema, chromium, carnitine and hoodia.
So if you're looking for a magic pill to help you lose weight without diet
or exercise, stop now. There isn't one!
However a quality supplement can be a valuable tool to help you lose fat and improve body composition when used at the same time as controlling calorie intake and increasing exercise.
Make sure you choose a product that:
Doesn't make outrageous promises
Supports it's claim with credible, relevant scientific research
Contains effective amounts of proven weight-loss ingredients

ABSOLUTE ABS - Did You Know?
THE NEGATIVE CALORIE DIET NEWSLETTER - MID WEEK
By Jack ReiserThe rectus abdominis (abdominal muscles)is a long flat
muscle, extending along the whole length of the front of
the abdomen -- separated from its fellow of the opposite
side by the linea alba. A key postural muscle, responsible
for flexing your lumbar spine, as when doing a 'crunch.'
The six abdominal muscles all affect body posture. The
deeper the muscle is located (i.e. the closer to the
spine), the more powerful effect it will have, and
therefore, the greater capacity it will have for creating
and maintaining a healthy spine.
The abdominal muscles support the trunk (often called the
core), allow movement and hold organs in place by
regulating your internal abdominal pressure.
The abdominals participate in the breathing process,
especially during exhale, when they help force air out of
the lungs by depressing the thorax.
Common conditions of these muscles include strains and
hernia. Consult with your doctor, physiotherapist or sports
physician for proper diagnosis and treatment of abdominal
muscle injuries.
To say your ab muscles are important to your overall health
is a serious understatement.
Your core -- the 29 muscles surrounding the middle of your
body -- is responsible for keeping you stable and strong.
Core workouts not only give you firm, flat abs but also
help you with performing manual labor, sports, fitness,
etc.
So rather than investing in all those stupid contraptions
they have on the late night - early morning infomercials,
here's what you can do to tune up your abdominal muscles.
Click on over to:
Blitz Body Fat
Here you're going to find a complete set of abdominal
exercises to tighten your core up like an athlete. Each
page has a pull-down menu located at the bottom. Just read
through all the exercises or print them out and you're good
to go.
Good luck!

Purpose
Gluten is the protein part of wheat, rye, barley, and other related grains. Some people cannot tolerate gluten when it comes in contact with the small intestine. This condition is known as celiac disease (sometimes called non-tropical sprue or gluten sensitive enteropathy). There is also evidence that a skin disorder called dermatitis herpetiformis is associated with gluten intolerance.
In patients with celiac disease, gluten injures the lining of the small intestine. This injury results in weight loss, bloating, diarrhea, gas, abdominal cramps, or vitamin and mineral deficiencies. When patients totally eliminate gluten from the diet, the lining of the intestine has a chance to heal... - Wheat-Free and Gluten-Free Recipes
