Weight Loss Step 5 - Curb Those Cravings
I have been a little under the weather and have been slacking a bit on the diet. (Guilty)
We are going to be talking about cravings and how you can put those cravings aside to help your body lose even more weight than you thought you could!
Let's begin!
Come on, you have had those cravings, the ones that have you up at night worried about what to eat next, right?
What causes a craving anyway?
There are a lot of causes for cravings. Your cause could be different than mine, but let's look at a few of them and then we will give you some coping tactics!
Causes:
1. Lack of Nutrients
Your body could be craving something because you are lacking in nutrients.
Eating fruits and vegetables can be sufficient enough for you to curb this cause of cravings.
2. Low Energy
Having low energy can cause your body to want to crave carbohydrates in the form of junk food.
Getting enough sleep will fix that problem.
3. Your Body is Your Craving Trigger
What I mean by saying that is the fact that when you walk past a carnival that may be happening and you smell the carnival food, your body immediately craves something juicy and greasy.
Avoid shops, fairs, carnivals, and such places and you can avoid this cause of cravings.
4. Stress and Tension
Thousands and hundreds of thousands of people crave food because of stress.
They crave to eat something that will take their mind off of their problem.
Try to find a way to relax.
5. Depression or Feeling Down
Some of us crave food to drown our sorrows.
Eating our cravings can be a way of escaping our problems.
Talk to your doctor about a therapist.
Ways to Cope:
1. Drink a 10 oz. glass of water and wait 10 minutes before splurging.
Sometimes your body just craves water and your body says something else.
2. Cut Back on the processed foods.
Cutting back on the processed foods will train your body to not depend on them (sugar, salt, and fat) for your satisfaction.
3. Exercise for 30-60 minutes a day.
Exercising releases a hormone called endorphins that increase blood flow and have a positive effect on your mood. Exercising is a workout suppressant as well.
4. Eat smaller meals in a day.
Eating smaller meals will allow your body's sugar table to be steady so that it will not crave something of the sugary nature.
5. Savor a favorite food!
Savoring one of your favorite foods once a week or every other week will allow your body to enjoy something it does like and will be good for moving forward in the weight loss program.
Don't get carried away and splurge!
I hope that all of you are losing weight and keeping it off as the holidays draw near.
Share these ideas and ways to cope with your friends.
Take care fellow weight loss friends!

Weight Loss Step 4 - Winning the Mental Game
Hopefully you are on your way to that body that you've always dreamed of.
I was going to write about another tip for weight loss and then Step 4 hit me like a truck.
I was thinking about a time when I had an apple in my hand, ready to eat something good.
All of the sudden an overwhelming feeling of needing to eat my deliciously looking candy bar in my cabinet and it was calling my name.
I put the apple back in the fridge and unwrapped the candy bar.
My mind was beaten, and I knew it!
Sound familiar?
We have all been there at one time in our life.
People that are trying to lose weight are more vulnerable because you don't want to eat a healthy apple after a long day at the office or at school.
You have to be mentally strong when trying to lose weight.
So, how do you stay mentally strong?
1. Don't Buy Junk Food
Don't even give your mind something junk-food-ish to think about.
Don't buy soda if you love soda.
Just don't do it!
2. Get Out of the House
Something I have figured out over the years is that when I stay home for long periods of time if I have time off from work, is that, if you are a couch potato, chances are that you will be in the kitchen eating way more than you should.
Get out and do something athletic; lose that weight!
3. Think of Junk Food as Poison
If you value your body and you realize what is in the junk food you will soon realize that you won't want to eat it.
It really is just poison for your body.
I hope you have enjoyed this Weight Loss Step 4 blog post!
Win that mental game and loose that weight!

Weight Loss Step 3 - Keep a Journal and Plan
Keeping a journal is one of the only ways that you will be accountable to do well.
Planning is something that is great too.
We will talk a little bit about the two of these elements to weight loss step 3.
1. Keeping a Journal
This is something that will take a few more minutes to do in your day.
Write down EVERYTHING you eat, including calories.
Men should be eating 2,400-2,800 calories a day, and women should be eating 1,500-1,800 calories a day to be able to lose weight in a good time.
Keeping a journal will give you accountability, and will allow you to really see how much you eat in a day!
You can also plan out your biggest meals like lunch and dinner and save more calories for them and cut back on a snack or two.
2. Planning Ahead
Planning ahead is something that most people don't do on a diet.
They don't think about how they are going to get to point A and point B.
Plan ahead, the calories to be eaten, the calories being burned, all by estimate. (There are calorie burning calculators online)
As a note on keeping a journal and planning ahead, if you cheat, you are only hurting yourself and your weight loss. You aren't hurting me!
Planning ahead will also keep you from being stagnant in your weight loss program, allowing you to adequately see what is happening in your diet.
Looking at these two elements to weight loss step 3 has been excellent for weight loss.
It is the turning point in your weight loss journey.
This is when you really begin to see the results.
You should be well on your way to reaching your 3-5 pounds lost in your first couple of weeks.
NOTE: You should always consult a doctor before beginning a diet. This is just my opinion on a diet and is what I did to lose 30+ pounds! Disclaimer: You are responsible for the results that you get from this diet.
I have done hundreds of hours of researching facts and figures that have been proven hundreds and thousands of times online.
I take those facts and figures to give you a diet where you don't starve and a new way to diet!
Hope you have enjoyed step 3!

Weight Loss Step 2 - Simple Eating
Hopefully you have begun your voyage with us to fight against obesity!
You want that extra lean, buff, slender, and built beach body!
I am here to tell you that I am going on the voyage with you, you are not alone.
Let's get down to business and look at Simple Eating.
Everyone thinks that when you are on a diet/weight loss program that you have to eat complexly and chart every milligram of food that you eat.
It is simply not true!
Keeping a journal of what you eat is good for seeing results, but it is not essential.
What do we mean by Simple Eating?
Here is how we think of it: Eating a balanced diet with whole grains, fruit, vegetables, legumes, and other natural and organic foods.
Basically, we are going to intake non-toxic foods and detox our body.
Men are going to shoot for eating 2,200-2,500 calories a day.
Women are going to shoot for 1,500-1,800 calories a day.
1. Whole Grains
Whole grains are an essential source of vitamins and minerals that your body needs to survive on your diet.
They fill you up quicker without spending a lot of calories.
2. Water
Water is a great resource in your weight loss arsenal because you can drink water before a meal to avoid overeating.
Water weighs more than food and your body will get used to not having sugar in soda or juice.
3. Fruit and Vegetables
Fruit and vegetables are like vitamin and mineral gold mines!
They also have a lot of fiber which means that you can get off cheap calorie wise and still be full after eating fruits and vegetables.
4. Legumes
Legumes are seeds, beans, and nuts.
They, like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains fill you up quicker and are good for a short snack.
We suggest that you do keep them to a low roar as they are high in fat.
5. Meat and Fish
Meat and fish is a very touchy subject in a diet.
Meat can be and is full of fat, unless you get ultra lean meat that is hard to eat.
Pork and beef should be taken in maybe once every week to week and a half.
Turkey and chicken are great alternatives that taste fantastic.
Fish are great sources of omega 3 fish oil that are essential for fighting free radicals in your body and are great for your health.
6. Sugar, Salt, and Fat
Sugar, salt, and fat are the three worst parts about our diet that we could ever eat.
Eliminating them throughout our journey will boost your weight loss by over 200%.
If you can get used to not drinking and eating sugary drinks and candy, then you will feel better and lose weight easier.
Get used to not putting salt on your food, again it will be easier to lose weight.
Skip McDona*** and go eat something healthy. Skipping fast food will detoxify your body and your weight loss will soar!
Let's stick to this eating diet and together we can lose weight!

Weight Loss Step 1 - Work Out Smarter
You may be one of these people. Not to worry, we can fix that.
We are going to change the way you look at things.
1. Cardio
I'm sure that you have heard to do this before to lose weight.
Let's look at it through new eyes.
When working out cardio, you can work out on the treadmill.
The treadmill allows you to monitor your length of your run, calories burnt and heart rate.
Working out with sweats and a sweat shirt will boost the sweat and will burn of that obesity.
2. Compound Exercises
Working out with regular exercises only work on one body part at a time.
Compound exercises like deadlifts, pushups, and pullups are a few exercises that work on a few body parts at a time.
3. Walking, Jogging, or Running
Walking is great for burning calories, but jogging and running is better.
The body hits a certain rate when your body no longer feels much of anything, its called, "The Runner's High."
Your body gets an adrenaline rush and then you are able to run longer and harder.
Running burns 2-3 times as many calories as walking.
Jog or run for at least 45 minutes every other day at least three days a week and you will be on your way to killing obesity.
You are well on your way with the first step!
