First I must share with you that I actually gained over 30 pounds in a 3 year period, and over 40 pounds in a 5.5 year period. After seeing a very disturbing picture of myself from July of 2006 where I was lean and trim, I could not believe how much I had gained and how different I looked and felt. It was a real awakening for me.

I knew I had to do something.

And believe me, the thought of doing something was overwhelming, discouraging, and defeating. I had no idea how would even begin to lose weight because based on past experience with every weight loss diet plan on the market, I felt like I didn’t have a chance at losing weight.

And then I found the truth. I actually discovered it by mistake. I had no desire to be on a diet and I didn’t think I could even begin exercising because I was too exhausted to exercise. But I found the answer to a lifetime of diet drama when I stumbled on this information. The information is the truth about weight loss that you will find throughout this site.

These have been the benefits for me:

• No cravings for sugar.
• No cravings for carbohydrates.
• More energy.
• Better quality of sleep.
• A sensation of being satisfied.
• No jitters.
• For the first time in my life I have not felt deprived while losing weight.
• I feel like I finally have Power Over FAT!

If you’re tired of searching for an effective, safe and easy weight loss program, if you’re tired of dieting, if you’re over being overweight and disappointed and defeated, then perhaps you should take a closer look at the information we are sharing at weight loss reality and start burning fat and losing weight now.

Weight Loss is easier than you think. Stop making it so hard. Make the decision to be thin. We can help you. It’s working for tens of thousands of people all over America and it can work for you too – no matter what!

You can change your body composition and reshape your figure, restoring it back to its original design. Just learn the Rules of Effective Weight Loss! It’s more than just losing weight, it’s about losing fat, building lean muscle and feeling great.

You may be wondering why it is that people gain more weight during the winter holidays than any other time of year. A study was done in
the early 2000′s by the National Institutes of Health that determined
just that. They determined the following things about Americans:

• The average American gained 1.8 lbs from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day.
• Overweight and obese Americans before the holidays were more likely to gain 5 lbs. or more during that 6 week period.
• The biggest two factors in weight gain were lack of activity and excess hunger.
• The weight that is gained at that time of year is never lost .

The excess hunger at this time of year is most likely due to the excess amount of refined sugar and carbohydrates that people consume throughout the season. The more of them you eat, the more hungry you will be every few hours. These foods immediately spike insulin – the fat-storing hormone that will keep them out of fat-burning mode for up to 48 hours. These substances also causes individuals to feel lethargic which could explain why many are less active, lounging, relaxing, and overeating the holidays away.

So for each time that an individual consumes refined sugar and carbs, they will spend the next 24-48 hours in FAT-STORING mode. Doesn’t it make sense then that daily consumption of sugar and carbs will result in some people actually spending every single day of the holiday season in FAT-STORING mode as opposed to FAT-BURNING. Ouch!

Worse than gaining all that weight is the fact that this study revealed that the weight that is gained at that time of year is never lost so there is an accumulation of excess weight put on every year over the course of Americans’ lifetimes that could lead to obesity due to that lack of weight loss after the holidays.

Think about it – where will you be 10 years from now if you gain 5 lbs. every Christmas? You’ll be 50 lbs. heavier. Isn’t it time to pay attention, do a little proactive weight gain prevention during the season and give yourself the gift of good health this year?

Tune in – we’ll be sharing simple Holiday Weight Loss tips all season long to help you to enter into the New Year feeling fit, trim, lean, energized, and most importantly – in a position of Power over FAT!

God bless and Happy Holidays!

Secrets to Weight Loss, Burning Fat and Results that Last

Are you desiring to lose weight like I was just a few months ago?  If you are, we need to talk. You may be interested in joining a proven weight loss program with the right mix of education, supplements, and support.  When it comes to joining an effective weight loss program, you will find there are a number of different options – some good – many bad as I found out.

If this is your first time enrolling into a weight loss program, you may not be sure or even know as to what you should look for in a weight loss program.  If that is the case, HOLD ON–you will want to continue reading what I found out.

One of the greatest ways for finding the perfect weight loss program is to ask a number of important questions and you answer them.  One of the first questions that you should ask yourself is how much time you have to devote to this weight loss program which may require some time and education.

If you were to join a local weight loss support system, whether it is in a brick and mortar building or a support group who are doing it on their own, you would likely be required to attend either an online webinar or a weekly get together.  Whether you are busy with your family or at work, you may not have the additional time that is required to do so.  In that case, you should consider joining an online weight loss program with support, as many are often designed for those professionals and moms with busy and hectic schedules.

Another question that you will want to consider when looking to find the perfect weight loss program is your sheer willpower to make it happen.  If you decide that you should join an online program, you will be gaining more freedom, to physically report to meetings is nit a requirement and answer to group leaders that you do not know.

While this freedom is cool and great to have, there is a downside. The freedom that you enjoy to not attend weekly meetings has allowed many hopeful people that are looking to lose weight to get off track with their program.  If you do not believe that you can stay with your online program goals and required instructions for weight loss, you may want to consider an alternative. Trust me on this one.

Another one of the many possible questions that you may want to ask when looking for a good weight loss program, is how much money is it going to cost you. This one is a biggie. While you can find free weight loss programs everywhere, both locally or online, it is actually when you get down to it, quite rare.  In your search, you will find that they have a wide range of membership fees that are included.  You probably will find that online programs are cheaper than locally operated weight loss programs or support systems.  If you are on a tight monthly budget, the cost of each program you run across should play a big role in making that decision.

You should also ask yourself this question: Are you honestly embarrassed with your current weight today? And or you not feeling that good about your physical appearance? Although you really should  not have anything to be ashamed of, you may still feel that way.  If that is true, you may be a little hesitant of attending local weight loss meetings.  As always, you need to remember that everyone else that is attending those meetings are probably likely feeling the exact same way, but you don’t have to be in any kind of awkward situation.  If you are not happy with your appearance– as I was not, or may be concerned about what others may be thinking  of you, you may want to really consider joining an online weight loss program instead that has a great program and product to help accelerate the fat burning.

Online Weight Loss Programs - The Lies, The Hype, The TRUTH

This is really a pet peeve with me. There are many programs out there that are simply scams and do not work. If you are looking at this, you need to be careful and so your due diligence.

Have you ever considered an online weight loss program before or even looked at one? Online programs are designed to help people, possibly just like you and me, who want to lose weight and lose it bad. I have been there and you may be there now.  What is cool about online lose weight programs is that they are online and you can do I from the comfort of your own home and at your convenience, You gotta admit that is nice for those who have busy and hectic schedules with kids, family, church, school and; crazy schedules that may not allow them to be a part of locally operated programs.

If you have never joined an online program before for weight loss, you may be wondering if there is even a right one right for you.  You may have looked at many of them and fund nothing that made any sense. That happens a lot. You may even be wondering if an online program is worth putting any money into it.  I have some friends that have tried them, and In all honestly, it is  typical that online weight loss programs are worth every dime, but, to be real here– it all depends.  To make sure that your money is not wasted you will want to make sure that you choose the online program that suites you, fits your needs and goals, is perfect for you and your lifestyle.

When looking at an online weight loss program, you will want to take a serious look at the features and bells and whistles that you will have access to and be a part of. Features are usually known as some kind of membership benefits for joining or membership rewards that come with it.  There are many different types of rewards online with these kind of sites. And they all have program features that you have access to that plays a large part in determining whether or not the online weight loss program that you want to join is worth the money. A few of the many online weight loss features or member perks that you will want access to are outlined below.

One of the many features or membership benefits that would make an online weight loss program well worth the cost is that of healthy eating tips. As you likely already know, healthy eating is an important part of any weight loss plan.  Many online weight loss programs have healthy eating sections that include easy to make recipes for foods and drinks, as well as shopping tips and much more.  As previously stated, healthy eating is an important part of losing weight; therefore, you should look for an online weight loss program that does have a healthy eating or a healthy foods section.

Another feature that would make an online weight loss program more than worth the costs is that of an exercise program.  It has been said that exercise and healthy eating are the two most important components of losing weight.  You should be able to find an online weight loss program that has an exercise section for you to access.  This section may outline workouts that you should try, which may be accompanied by pictures, videos, or at least detailed directions. You may also find charts that outline how many calories are burned with common exercises, and much more.

One feature that you may not necessarily think of, but one that is important, is that of an online message boards or a community section.  Community sections are often comprised of online message boards. These sections often allow you to communicate with other online weight loss program members or group leaders.  This communication is nice as it may help to give you motivation.  You may even find an online weight loss buddy or partner to help you on your journey.

Guaranteed results or free trial periods are another sign that an online weight loss program may be worth the money. Often times, many individuals are unsure as to whether or not they should pay to join an online weight loss program, as they do not know for sure that they will lose weight. A large number of online weight loss programs give you the ability to test out their programs free of charge and then there are others that give you guaranteed results.  With guarantees like these, online weight loss programs are more then worth their costs.

The above mentioned points are just a few of the many that may be able to help you decide whether or not joining an online weight loss program is worth the cost. If you are able to find an online weight loss program with a free trial period or even just one with affordable membership rates, you may want to think about giving it a shot.

Pre-packaged meals may seem convenient but are they good for you?

If you’re trying to lose weight by counting calories, you may think you’re being smart by buying prepackaged diet meals from the supermarket or through a delivery service.

Think again.

What price are you paying for convenience?

Sure, there is a lot to be said about not having to fuss but are these foods actually bad for you? You need to read those labels and make sure that what you are putting into your body is actually healthy. Here are some warning signs:

1. TOO MUCH SODIUM

The average adult needs less than 2400 mg of sodium per day, but some prepackaged diet meals contain a whole day’s worth of sodium. Because these meals restrict a bunch of tasty ingredients (fat, for instance), they “give it more flavor” with… you guessed it… salt.   However, too much sodium leads to excess water retention, and has been blamed for high blood pressure and a host of other problems. The key is reading that label and seeing just how much sodium is in one serving.

2. CHEMICALS TOO

Prepackaged foods are typically loaded with different preservatives and some of them can be harmful, especially if you have a sensitity. MSG is probably the biggest offender and it has been blamed for everything from weight gain, to migraines and increased blood pressure.

3.MORE TO WATCH OUT FOR

Check the labels for other common names such as autolyzed yeast and disodium guaylonlate. This is a cheaper form of MSG, but it contains the same makeup. BHT is another common preservative and that can be found in a wide variety of prepackaged meals. In those that are sensitive to this additive, it may cause vertigo and other health issues.

COMMON SENSE ADVICE FROM WeightLossReality.com.

You’ve made the decision to do something great for your body – and that is, to lose weight.  Why not also feed your body fresh food?  Make it convenient for yourself.  Cut up and store a week’s worth of veggies in the fridge.  Then just steam them as needed.  Cook up a large amount of brown rice and microwave a scoop when you need it.  Broil chicken breasts or lean beef patties.  Keep lots of fresh fruit handy.  Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or time consuming.   And just think how much better you’ll look and feel!

Do I have to Change My Food Choices in Order to Lose Weight?

Plain and simple:  A weight loss program that doesn’t require you to make changes in your lifestyle is a fad diet!

Permanent weight-loss requires making new decisions.  Remember the old adage – “The definition of madness is doing things in the same old way and expecting different results.”  Any program that tells you can lose weight without eating less or doing moderate exercise is just trying to sell you something. You don’t need to buy special foods, omit food groups, join a support group or buy magnets in order to lose weight.

If it sounds too good to be true (you know the rest)…You can’t expect the calories to melt off of your body. If the product or expert makes overblown promises, run!

Remember, there is no quick fix for long-term weight loss (that’s just the fact!) Any weight loss program that makes outrageous claims is a fad diet.  If they say that you can lose 20 pounds in 10 days, obviously, you’re not being told the truth.  And worst of all, you could be negatively impacting your health by going to unproven, extreme measures.

Look at the cost of the diet plan. A program that requires you to buy expensive special diet foods or special equipment is a fad diet.   Prepared meals may take the guesswork out of it for you, but they are often dull, contain more sodium and don’t contain any fresh foods.

Eat all 5 food groups, just like your nutrition teacher told you.  Any weight loss program that requires you to omit food groups, like carbs, is a fad diet. A healthy diet consists of high-quality carbs, fruits and vegetables and lean proteins. For a lifestyle plan to work you should be able to eat everything in moderation.

Think of the people you know who maintain their weight year after year.  What are they doing that’s different from what you’re doing?  Chances are they’re eating in moderation (even splurging here and there), getting physical exercise (even a brisk walk in the park) and never turn to false promises as a way to keep slim.

If this sounded a bit like a lecture, maybe it is.  At WeightLossReality.com, we want you to finally know what’s true and what’s fiction so you can make smart decisions that impact not just how you look or what size jeans you wear…but help you live a long, healthy, vibrant life.

Most people do not have simple knowledge of the fat burning and fat storing hormones that are busy at work in their bodies. That is most likely the reason that so many people are so overweight. They simply live their lives in a state of fat storing and their ever expanding waistband is the evidence! It’s time to discover the difference between which foods help to turn fat-storing off and turn fat-burning on. That way when food options are placed before you, you can choose the options that you know will keep you burning fat all the time. It’s just so simple. Plus there are ways to compliment your daily diet to accelerate fat loss with supplements that are clinically proven to burn fat 3 times more than diet and exercise alone. What would it be worth to you to know how to do this?

• Your cravings would change
• Your figure would change
• You energy levels would change
• Your sleep patterns and rest would change
• Your size would change
• Your body fat composition would change
• Your life-long struggle with dieting would change

Attend one of our online weekly weight loss seminars and learn how you can remain in fat-burning mode forever!
