The Truth About Superheroes and Weight Loss

There are so many myths and bad misconceptions out there about superheroes that you see in both comic books and those that we see in these Hollywood movies. We think that Dwayne Johnson, Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman, and the countless of others just workout and eat whatever they want and that they come out looking like cookie cutter buff guys. This is NOT true by any stretch of the imagination. The problem that we all face when wanting to look like this may be a bit different than what we originally thought it might be.

1. Workout More
You have to realize that the superheroes that you see in the movies don't just do 8-10 reps of their heaviest for their body and then they are done for the day. The majority of them workout upwards of an hour doing weight lifting and cardio work to look like that. Some of them workout multiple times in a day. You have to do more to be able to grow more. You can't lift a few weights and then be done for the day. You have to workout more in order to get superhero results with weight loss.

2. Quit Sugar
Imagine that Captain America's Chris Evans works out and then goes and drinks a soda afterwards. This just DOES NOT happen! Chris Evan's and all of the famous superheroes that get really big really fast are not eating or drinking sugar. They may have some on a cheat day every so often, but they're not sitting around, pigging out on sugar, and playing Call of Duty. In order to be the superhero, they have to literally BE the superhero. Quit your sugar if you want maximum weight loss and muscle gain like the superheroes.

3. Eat More
The biggest challenge that all of the actors and actresses face on a daily basis is eating WAY more than what they are used to. With the exception of Sylvester Stallone (he would eat 1100 calories of pure good food in a day), all of the rest of the superheroes are eating over 6000 calories of pure protein, some fat, and very low amounts of carbs in a day! Chicken and eggs are a huge favorite when eating like a superhero and achieving that weight loss.

As you can see, the truth hurts! Superheroes don't just get to eat garbage and sit on the couch in order to be able to be a cool and supermanly and superwomanly superhero. It takes a LOT of hard work, but it is worth it for each and everyone one of them. All of them drink enormous amounts of water. We would suggest the 6-8 glasses of water in a day unless you're active and using the water that you're taking in. I hope that you have enjoyed this post.

Truth Hurts...New Year's Resolution Secret!

A lot of people would probably say that the truth sets you free because then you don't have the guilt of trying to cover up lies. Even more people would say that the truth does indeed hurt. Why is this fact true? New Year's resolutions are ways and plans for ways to change ourselves that we make at the beginning of the year. The thing that most people don't do is that they don't come to grips with the fact that they are fat and that they are obese and that they do need to lose weight. Let's get into the meat and potatoes on how to set great New Year's resolutions and be on your way to a great looking body!

THE "WHAT?" CONCEPT: Coming to grips that you're fat, obese, and that you need to lose weight.

WHY: Why do we need to come to grips with these facts? We need to because the sooner that we realize that we have a problem, the sooner we can attempt to fix them and set New Year's resolutions. This is a powerful part of the equation, even though it's not the main concept.

WHO: Who needs to do this? YOU NEED TO! It is not my job to convince you, it is your job to take responsibility and realize that you need to do this. You alone can choose to be on with the idea of bettering yourself, or you can not and be a fat lazy tub all day. It's your choice.

WHEN: We need to do this immediately if not sooner. Of course we can't do it any sooner than at this present moment, but we need to do it as soon as possible. Letting your weight go for long amounts of time destroys your New Year's resolution.

WHERE: You need to conceive the thought in your mind. Ideas start in the mind, the mind sends the idea to the body, and the heart helps execute the mind's idea. The idea of the truth hurting should be a nasty thought that you conjure up in your mind. It CAN and SHOULD hurt. It will motivate you to reach inside and lose weight, even when you don't want to.

HOW???: The biggest question that your asking right now is, "How do I make the truth hurt?" If you're asking this question, then you are ready to make the truth hurt and are ready to set New Year's resolutions that will in turn result in weight loss. The way that you make the truth hurt is to get a full length mirror where you can see your body. Then you say to yourself, "I am fat because..." (Stretch marks, muffin top, butt is too big, whatever the case is!) Let it really sink in. Then say to yourself, "I may be fat, but I want to lose or accomplish..." (Losing 10 pounds or 20, or losing the muffin top, or losing the big fat butt, whatever the case is.)

After you have accomplished each and every one of these steps, you are then ready to set your New Year's resolution. It may take a while to do each step. Remember, the truth is no easy pill to swallow. You may cry, feel bad, or want to punch something, but it will prepare you to set your goals and New Year's resolution. This is the biggest secret to setting and preparing to set your New Year's resolutions. If you do not follow these steps, your New Year's resolution has a good chance of dying instead of being a viable step on your way to your goals in 2015.
