While Trying to Lose Weight, Here’s Why You Should Wear Bunny Slippers – Good News Network
Home Good Ideas While Trying to Lose Weight, Heres Why You Should Wear Bunny Slippers
You probably wouldnt associate bunny slippers with losing weight, but when youre doing your best to shed a few pounds, maybe you should at least metaphorically. Heres why.
There is one thing all dieters agree on: weight loss, especially in the early phases, takes itstoll physically. In a word, its exhausting. There are two very real scientific reasons for this.
RELATED:Drink 1 to 3 Extra Cups Of Water Daily For Weight Loss, Health Study
The second is that, in order to lose weight, you are usuallyconsuming fewer calories than you need to function at your peak level. It means that, for you to use your fat for fuel, you sometimes have to be running a fuel-deficit. And it simply wont feel great.
But the good news is I want you to relax during this period of exhaustion. You dont actually have to put on bunny slippers, but thatis my code for taking it easy during dieting. The greatest advantage of this is you will notget lured into activities that unnecessarily deplete your willpower.
Willpower is a cognitive function that gives you the ability to self-regulate. And we all have access to this powerin limited doses. It only takes about fifteen minutes before we normally run out. Despite our best intentions, we cave to the temptation eating something we vowed we wouldnt. Which is why its essential to have a program that anticipatesyou will run out of willpower and has you covered.

The first big willpower depleter is exercise. Pushing yourself to exercise in the early weight loss phase is a huge no-no in my program. In fact, our studies have shown that the people who insist on exercising lose the least weight of any group. The calories burned just dont make up for what happens if you get depleted and eat off your plan. The fact is you can do more damage with your mouth than you can make up for on the treadmill.
The next is stress. Remember, you have bunny slippers on! Dont say yes to chairing the big PTA fundraiser, dont accept a project at work that will mean weeks of lost sleep. Try wherever possible to take life down a notch so that the huge lifestyle changes youre making get the space and respect they deserve.
To replenish willpower, make sure you are getting enough sleep, avoid stress, and yes, put awaythe sneakers and kick back with those slippers on.

How can I lose weight if there is always good food in the house?
wikiHow Contributor
Change your idea of what good food means. Good food doesn't mean unhealthy food. Try to keep your kitchen as healthy as possible. If you're living with your family, keep the unhealthy foods away from the healthy ones by sorting the fridge or cupboards. Discover which healthy foods you love and they will become your "good foods". And everyone will benefit, as nobody is immune from lifestyle diseases.
Why can't I lose weight when I eat once a day and only eat fruit for dinner?
wikiHow Contributor
Starving yourself like this tells your body that food is scarce and simply convinces it to shut down your metabolism (fat burning rate), which in turn slows down weight loss. Increase the amount you're eating and the type of food, so that you have a healthy regime, such as five 300 calorie+ meals a day with 40 to 60 minutes of exercise and you should be able to lose weight.
What are the healthiest foods to eat?
wikiHow Contributor
Fruit and vegetables are the healthiest. Also, try to stay away from processed food--this includes processed fruit and vegetables!
I have a very bad right hip. I dislocated and fractured it in 1986. It is very hard to exercise without feeling pain, during or after. What should I do, or what can I do?
wikiHow Contributor
Can you just gently walk? Do it 20 minutes in morning and another half an hour after dinner. Your weight will gradually come down. Also, morning walks after hot plain water helps liver to convert body fat to energy.
How can I reduce belly fat?
wikiHow Contributor
Don't eat sugar and avoid sugar-sweetened drinks. Eating more protein is a great long-term strategy to reduce belly fat. Cut carbs from your diet. Eat foods rich in fiber, especially viscous fiber. Exercise is very effective at reducing belly fat.
How do I get energy when I don't have any?
wikiHow Contributor
The more active you become, the more energy you'll have. Start slowly, by taking increasingly-longer walks around your neighborhood, then perhaps work up to a cardio program at a local fitness center. Get enough sleep. Drink plenty of water. Do daily movement. Limit alcohol, caffeine and sugar.
I am 45 and gaining weight rapidly. My thyroid is fine. I control my diet, drink only green tea and walk every morning. What else can I do to lose weight?
wikiHow Contributor
Go on a walk two times a day, try the gym and try a longer walk for one of the two daily walks. At your age, it does start getting harder to keep of weight, so ensure that your food portions are of an appropriate size and highly nutritious.
What are some good weight loss tips for a child?
wikiHow Contributor
A child should not yet be thinking of dieting and losing weight. Many young girl and boys face the struggle of not feeling confident in their bodies, which often leads to eating disorders. If the child is severely overweight, he or she could visit a doctor and ask for his or her advice.
What exercises help to reduce body weight?
wikiHow Contributor
Cardio exercises are best for losing weight.
How do I lose weight off my chest and stomach?

How to Lose Weight with Ease? – HuffPost
How to lose weight with ease?
Todays topic is for you if youre someone who is unsuccessful at weight loss. Or maybe you have a hard time keeping the weight off. Or you want to lose weight and dont know where to start, and you dont want to waste your time with a quick-fix program you already know wont work for you long-term.
Most people who want to lose weight start with dieting and exercising, which is necessary not only for weight loss but to be healthy and fit. Taking only those steps doesnt work for most of you, especially when you use all your willpower to get through every single day to stay on track. Eventually, your willpower burns out, and the old habits come back, only to get back to the same place you started from, feeling guilty, bad, or even like a failure.
So, whats the real solution?
We, like it or not, created the problem. And ONLY when we take full responsibility for it, can we shift and create something different. There are serious choices and decisions we had to make to be here. And finding out why we made those choices and shifting our mindset is the secret to achieving permanent weight loss.
So why did we make those choices?
Every single thing that happened to us in the past, we judged. Those judgments changed the way we relate to ourselves, the way we relate to the world. From that moment on, we saw everything through this filter and the things that happened either supported our established judgments or shaped them in some way.
Let me give you an example. When I was a child, I had a teacher who bullied me. Because he was the authority and the adult, I thought he was right. I subconsciously created an image of myself as a bad girl and thats why he was bullying me. This was one of the reasons why I became a people pleaser. I tried to prove I wasnt bad to everyone. I became an overachiever and giver while giving myself up.
As you can imagine, this caused conflict and pain in my life until I discovered the root of my suffering and could overcome it. This is exactly what happens to all of us.
If you want to lose weight, start digging deeper and understand how you relate to yourself, how you relate to your life, and how you relate to your body? Our beliefs become thoughts and emotion, and our thoughts and feelings point us back to our beliefs. This is how we can unravel our secrets to weight loss, one belief system at a time.
Our physical bodies reflect our mental conditioning and emotional blueprint. To face the real problem, not just the losing weight one, we need to shift to the point in our lives when we created the problem.
Not taking care of our bodies or health is the result of our beliefs. So, start thinking differently! Reflect on how you relate to yourself or your physical body, your life, and your health? What do all these mean to you?
With awareness, its easy to shift our lives. Our struggle is in not knowing or not understanding whats going on. It will clear your path, and your weight loss journey becomes more of a breeze than a dreaded chore. Im not going to lie to you; this takes work, dedication, discipline. It takes courage to break through the blocks, but life becomes easier after you do it.
In my next videos, I will talk more about how to ease yourself into weight loss, how to choose your approach to make it work, and how to release the stumbling blocks that hold you back? If you dont want to miss the next videos, sign up for the newsletter.
Start your workday the right way with the news that matters most.

Exactly What to Eat 2 Weeks Before Your Wedding to Lose Weight – POPSUGAR
When it came to starting a wedding diet, I procastinated. Hard. In fact, a month before the big day I went on a work trip to Morocco and Paris where I ate all of the bread, butter, and chocolate my appetite desired (as one does). Which is all part of the how I found myself muffin-topping over the sides of my strapless Reem Acra gown (pictured, top left) at my last fitting, just two weeks before I was supposed to walk down the aisle.
I'll admit, I was bloated at the time from my period, so when it ended a few days before my wedding, my body tightened. But, I was also up a few pounds. Instead of accepting it, I took about four private workout sessions per week with celebrity trainer David Kirsch. The pro is responsible for sculpting the bodies of celebrities (like Jennifer Lopez and Heidi Klum) and has a wealth of fitness and health knowledge (to recap, he's written five books, has his own line of shakes and supplements, and owns a top-notch NYC gym). He put me on a routine that was a mix of cardio, strength training, HIIT, and TRX. Every time we met up, the moves and sequences were different, which kept my body guessing and metabolism revved.
But anyone who has successfully lost weight knows diet is more than half of the battle. And pre-getting "Kirsched," I had been working out almost every day anyways. So I do credit his eating plan for partly pushing those five extra pounds off of my body.
Here, I am going to share exactly what I ate and most importantly, did not eat! to shed the lbs, so my dress fit perfectly (top right). Note, the dress was not taken in or out between the two images, but my body actually transformed in two weeks!
"In my experience working with a bride-to-be, the last couple of weeks leading up to the wedding is uber stressful," Kirsch told me. "As you can attest to personally (Lauren), slight tweaking of your diet will go a long way to keeping you optimally energized, fueled, and looking your very best on the big day!"

Let's start with the hard part, things to avoid according to Kirsch:
Say goodbye to pizza, because you will not be eating processed carbs (bread, pasta, crackers, etc.) or dairy. "I have found that dairy can cause bloating, and who wants to be bloated on their day?" Kirsch said. And no whole grains or potatoes either.
I have personally eliminated both gluten and dairy for weeks and added them back to reveal that I am not intolerant to either. I can have a slice of pizza and feel like a peach, but kicking them out of my diet definitely made my belly flatter. After three days of no carbs, I was craving them! So I texted Kirsch asking if I could have a sweet potato. He told me to crunch on celery instead. It took willpower to follow his advice, but it was worth it. I surely enjoyed sliding into my bathing suit when I arrived at my tropical honeymoon a few days after my wedding.
You'll also need to revamp your drinking game. That means, no alcohol (NONE!). While this meant sitting through events, family dinners, and bar nights totally sober, I enjoyed the mental clarity and increased energy in the mornings. "Save the glass of champagne for after you walk down the aisle!" he said. And yes, I got to enjoy a few flutes of well-earned bubbly at my affair . . . and a margarita!
I also had to limit the amount of coffee I drank. Kirsch recommends having one espresso in the morning. While I stuck to brewed coffee beans, I drank it black. I didn't even add almond milk, and I swear it makes a difference in better digestion.
Kirsch believes that "too much coffee can lead to belly bloat!" Think about it, coffee dehydrates you, so you retain water to hold on to it. Instead, switch over to green tea, which has both caffeine and antioxidants. Every morning, I also had one of his A.M. Detox Drinks (it's yummy and fantastic for your skin!). You can see it in the mason jar above.
Finally, the hardest (for me, since I have a sweet tooth): no sugar. Even dark chocolate. OK, I may have had a handful of dark chocolate-covered almonds one rough night, but for the most part (like 95 percent) I kissed my beloved cookies, ice cream, and cupcakes goodbye. In fact, my husband hid the chocolate on a very high shelf so I could not reach or find it in our apartment. Do what you need to do to survive, brides!

Now onto what you can eat. Disclaimer, this was not Kirsch's exact plan but one loosely based off his advice and what I know works best for my body.
For breakfast I stuck to two options. The first, two eggs and sauteed spinach, all cooked in EVOO. Earlier in my wedding prep, I enjoyed that dish with a side of avocado, but the last two weeks I cut it based on Kirsch's recommendation to limit my fat intake (even healthy ones!). Otherwise, I had an antioxidant-rich bowl of unsweetened coconut yogurt with a handful of raw almonds, chia seeds, flax seeds, cacao nibs, and blueberries. While Kirsch recommended no fruit (remember, no sugar!), I know blueberries are good for eliminating belly fat and making skin glow, so I had some anyways. If you're going to have sugar, eat it in the morning so you can burn it off throughout the day.
When it came to snacks, I sipped on dark green pressed juice (the kind without fruit) and crunchy veggies (Kirsch likes celery, red peppers, and jicama sticks). I also ate GoMacro bars, which were referred to me by another trainer I'd been working out with, Steve Pasterino. I bent the rules a little since these are made with brown rice syrup, but it ensured that I had an option when I was on-the-go.
Dinner and lunch were pretty similar. I'd either have what I dubbed a "Sad Salad" of spinach, crunchy water veggies (cucumber and snow peas), and lean protein (homemade chicken or salmon with no sauces) all drizzled with EVOO and a lemon squeeze. Snooze. Otherwise, I would cook veggies (such as steamed green beans or asparagus) and have it with the aforementioned lean meat or fish. Sometimes, I would even have the eggs (see: breakfast!) for dinner, which I found very easy to digest. Occasionally, I'd enjoy a green smoothie (kale, spinach, blueberries, almond milk) with pea protein powder.

And for our grand finale, what to eat during your actual wedding weekend:
By then being a bride had taken over my identity (it happens to the best and most chill of us ladies in white). So I brought my own food to the weekend destination, including unsweetened coconut yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, green juice, nuts, seeds, bars, etc. I made sure my hotel room had a fridge to store it in.
"The day before is a day that you want to make sure to put the finishing touches," said Kirsch. "You have planned hard, sweated hard, and stayed away from the obvious no-nos. What else can you do? I suggest a relaxing massage, sauna, and steam. Eating foods like asparagus and celery will help keep you full and debloat you."
So I couldn't resist a taste of homemade pasta during our rehearsal dinner at a delicious Italian restaurant, but by 7 a.m. the next day, I was back on it.
"The day of, I would have a couple of eggs in the morning and oatmeal as you will need the energy and fuel for the rest of the day," Kirsch recommended. "A protein shake for lunch and water for the rest of the day. Save the drinking and eating for after the ceremony, or better yet, for the honeymoon!"
Here's what I consumed for breakfast on my wedding day: I had the antioxidant yogurt and seed bowl as well as black coffee; for lunch I ate a simple salad with grilled chicken provided by my venue; and for snack, I went with a GoMacro bar. After the ceremony, my husband and I sat in a separate room and ate every single appetizer (including pork buns, pulled BBQ chicken, mini grilled cheese sandwiches, and more!) and drank champagne. Diet. Over. As the evening went on, I enjoyed the goat cheese salad (CHEESE!), the short rib and sweet potato entree, wedding cake, homemade cookies, and apple cider donuts. There was pizza at our afterparty. I ate that, too.
Was dieting fun? No. Was it satisfying? Absolutely not. Was it worth it? Hell yes! For two weeks, you can do this! And you likely will lose inches, but you have to stick to it almost perfectly. We all have our handful of dark chocolate almonds here and there, but make sure you get right back on track. The best part in addition to your tight bod? You can pig out on your honeymoon! (On mine, I sure did my job consuming all of the noodles and dumplings Southeast Asia had to offer . . . and that is another story. Next up: How to get back your hot wedding bod of yesteryear.)

Exactly What to Eat 2 Weeks Before Your Wedding to Lose Weight - POPSUGAR
Couple, who met at the gym, lost almost 600 pounds combined, tied the knot – Today.com
share
pin
After high school, Ronnie Brower felt depressed. He wondered what he was doing with his life and turned to drugs, alcohol and food to soothe his emotions. As time passed, he slowly put on weight and eventually reached 675 pounds by 2013. When he went to the doctor, he learned something shocking: If he didnt lose weight, he might die.
That really hit me, the bus driver in Syracuse, New York, told TODAY.
But he ignored it for several days until a friend recommended that Brower talk to her cousin, Nick Murphy, who was a trainer. After stalling a little longer, Brower reached out.
I was a little nervous meeting him, he is huge. His arms are bigger than my whole body, Brower, 32, said.
After a doctor told Ronnie Brower, who was 675 pounds, that if he didn't lose weight he could die, Brower finally started working out and eating healthy foods. He dropped 458 pounds in 23 months.
But Murphy encouraged Brower and came up with a weight-loss plan. At first, Brower could only work out at home. Hed simply stand up and sit down in a chair, use an arm bike, do some arm raises with weights and attempted sit-ups.
After 100 days, Brower felt comfortable enough for the gym. He also started a ketogenic diet, a low-carb, high-fat, moderate protein and vegetable-focused diet. He hoped to get to 250 pounds.
When Brower first started losing weight he wasnt sure how much he lost because he was too heavy for his scale. He went to his uncles trucking company where he learned he lost 30 pounds in the first week. But that was mostly water weight and he soon learned dropping pounds from his 6-foot frame wasnt always easy.
I would get a little discouraged, he said. Some weeks I wouldnt lose any weight. Some weeks I lost 20 pounds.
He started sharing his weight-loss journey on a Facebook page and in early 2015, he received a message from a woman named Andrea. She, too, was losing weight and working with Murphys wife, Jill.
Andrea said she was proud of me and good job, Brower said.
When Andrea Brower went on a vacation she felt uncomfortable in her bathing suit. That's when she knew she had to lose weight, eventually dropping 120 pounds.
He responded with an aloof, thanks, you, too.
It was kind of lame, he said, laughing.
But Andrea, didnt let that stop her. She messaged him again and this time he actually chatted with her.
At the time, Andrea sent Brower a message, she was about eight months into her own weight-loss journey and had shed about 75 pounds. When she first started working with Jill, she weighed 250 pounds at 5 feet 4 inches. She hoped to get to 130 pounds. But like Brower, she struggled at first.
It was really difficult because I was so heavy, she said. "I was embarrassed that I am a big girl and going into the gym.
While Andrea was a thin child, when she was in eighth grade she started gaining weight, but like Brower, she really gained after high school.
I ate just awful. Just crap food and so I would also eat if anything would happen in life. If something great happened I would eat. If something bad happened I would eat, said the 25-year-old hairdresser.
Andrea started following Ronnie's weight loss online and started chatting with him. They had so many things in common, including shedding hundreds of pounds to transform their health.
After going on vacation and feeling very uncomfortable in her bathing suit, Andrea decided to lose weight. She had a business card for her trainer, Jill, for six months before she finally felt courageous enough to call in 2014.
Thats when she started working out and following a ketogenic diet, too. When she first spotted Brower in the gym she was immediately interested.
We just kind of started talking. Honestly, from there it was over with. I dont want to sound clich but it was love in first sight, she said. We had so much in common.
As the relationship blossomed, the two continued toward their weight-loss goals. Andrea lost 120 pounds and Brower shed 458, a total loss of 578 pounds combined. The couple has maintained it for year and a half and still work out and cook healthy meals together.
On May 13, the couple took their relationship to the next level and got married.
The wedding was phenomenal. I cried when she came down the aisle, said Brower.
After bonding over their mutual weight loss, the Browers realized that they had so much and common and they made each other happy. They married in May.
Andrea agrees.
It was amazing, she said.
They went to Mexico for their honeymoon and returned to Syracuse to continue their healthy lives together. They provided tips for others hoping to lose weight.
When it felt tough in the gym or the number on the scale didnt move, Andrea focused on a mantra that kept her motivated.
There were days toward the end where I was like Im done and I just remembered that I have a goal that I needed to reach, she said.
While the Browers had trainers keeping them focused, they also encouraged each other.
We hold each other accountable. And we know each other so well. Shes been through the same thing that I have been through, Brower said.
The couple lost weight by following a ketogenic diet and enjoy cooking healthy meals together.
When the couple became serious, they talked about their hopes and goals. And during this conversation, Brower stressed that working out would always be an important part of his life.
I need to work out to keep healthy for me, her, and our marriage, he said.
Not surprisingly, Andrea agreed.

Apparently Tequila May Help You Lose Weight, According to Science – Task & Purpose
Do you want to shed those winter pounds before summer starts off without kicking your alcohol habit? Good news: drinking tequila may actually help you lose weight.
According to a 2014 study, the sugars that naturally occur in the agave plant from which tequila is made could not only aid in weight loss but also help control diabetics control their blood sugar.
We believe that agavins have a great potential as light sweeteners since they are sugars, highly soluble, have a low glycemic index, and a neutral taste, but most important, they are not metabolized by humans, according to the studys abstract.Agavins are non-digestible, which means they act as a dietary fiber and therefore dont impact your blood sugar, reported Daily Mail. Just avoid the margarita mix, which is loaded with sweeteners that your body can process and will turn into fat.
Agavins are fructans, which are fructoses linked together in long, branched chains, according to the study. The human body cant use them in that configuration, so they dont affect blood sugar.
Heres how the study went down, according to to Independent:
To reach their conclusions, the researchers fed a group of mice a standard diet but added agavins to their water. They found that the mice who were given agavins ate less, lost weight and their blood glucose levels decreased in comparison with other sweeteners such as glucose, fructose, sucrose, agave syrup and aspartame.
But hey, at least you can still do shots. And while you you may regret the side effects of drinking tequila like putting on a sombrero and singing mariachi tunes, forgetting what standards are, and vomiting on your front lawn at 4 a.m. at least you wont regret the calories in the morning.
And now, the real reason we wrote this story: to include this video of a NATO military band playing Tequila.

Apparently Tequila May Help You Lose Weight, According to Science - Task & Purpose
‘My PC needs to lose weight’ says user with FAT filesystem – The Register
ON-CALL Friday's here again and so, therefore, is On-Call, our weekly dip into absurd tech support tales contributed by readers.
This week, meet Rick who kicked off his career supporting laptops running Windows 95 and tells us that One day I had a call from a sales rep who said 'My new laptop computer needs to lose some weight, it's getting heavy.
Getting heavy? In the age of Windows 95 laptops were rather less svelte than today's machines and could bulk up a bit with a double-height PCMCIA card inside, but there was no reason for them to get any heavier than they were when they left the factory.
The rep explained he couldn't save files so perhaps he was complaining that his disk was full. But he also complained the machine was heavy, along the way mentioning that his weight theory had been prompted by an error message. So Rick asked the user to read him the error and heard the following response:
This is The Register so we'll assume you know that FAT is the File Allocation Table, a filesystem widely used until the early 2000s.
Oh I see, said Rick. Yes, I see the confusion.
What can I do, the rep asked. The longer I walk around with it the heavier it gets.
Rick kindly arranged a new laptop that was actually 0.5Kg lighter and ran Windows NT. The second part of the fix was to format its hard drive with the NTFS file system, a ploy that solved the problem.
I had a very happy customer and one less Windows 95 machine, Rick says, so it was all good really.
Have your users misinterpreted acronyms with amusing results? If so, write to me with your story and you, yes you, might just appear in next week's On-Call.
