4 Shocking Facts Reveal Exactly Why Youre NOT Getting the Fat Loss Results You Deserve and How You Can Fix Your Broken Metabolism to Burn Fat 24 Hours per Day, 7 Days Per Week If youre tired of workouts that take forever and leave you with a flabby belly, then this research is for you.

If youre tired of leaving the gym with sore knees, an aching back and foot pain from doing long cardio workouts then pay close attention.

Researchers have the good news youve been looking for all these years.

Here are the scientific FACTS:

Heres a fact: if you want to GAIN WEIGHT, then you should get on the treadmill.

Most people believe that the key to losing fat and getting in shape is to spend lots of time running on a treadmill.

But thats dead wrong.

You see, long, slow and boring cardio actually trains your body to store fat. It makes your body guard its fat closer than a hungry dog guards his food.

I know youve seen that famous button on the treadmill that reads: Fat Burning Zone but that button should really be called the Fat STORING Zone because thats the real effect it has on your body.

When you spend 30, 40 or even 50 minutes pounding away on the treadmill, you send your body a powerful signal to start storing fat instead of burning it.

Around the world, millions of people start diets every year. Many people start diets a few times a year, and for some people it may seem as if they are constantly on a diet or enduring an endless cycle of starting a diet and falling of the band wagon. The majority of people who start a diet cannot maintain it for the long term, meaning that even if they reach their goal weight, they are likely to gain the weight back, often with a little extra when they stop the diet and go back to their original eating habits.

This may sound like a lifelong prison sentence of tasteless, uninspiring food and deprivation, but statistics show that most people who lose weight on a diet regain it when they stop. The reason for this is that their diet is simply too restrictive to be maintained. Many fad diets eliminate food groups such as carbs or fat or only allow you to eat specific foods at certain times of the day. This may well help you to reach your goal weight, but you cannot go all your life drinking only meal replacement shakes or eating only high protein, low fat salads. Its simply not sustainable and can completely destroy your social life. Nobody wants to go out for a meal with someone who only picks at a green salad throughout the night.

What is the answer to this? Avoid diets that are unsustainable and do not fit in with your everyday life and instead focus on small, healthy, long-term changes to your diet. Your weight loss may not be fast, but if you persevere you will be able to maintain a healthy weight for life, rather than being back at square one and making New Years resolutions to lose weight all over again the next year.

Many popular diets involve a maintenance phase that is designed to help you maintain your weight loss once you have reached your goal weight. This is usually a more relaxed version of the original diet, with a greater number of foods allowed. The Dukkan Diet for example, ends in a stabilization phase which states you can eat pretty much anything you want as long as one day a week you return to the original diet plan of only lean protein. Whilst these maintenance phases may assist with keeping weight off in the longer term, it still means that you are tied to an eating plan or regime which you are expected to follow for the rest of your life. If the diet is one which fits your eating patterns and is easy to follow and varied, this may be fine, however if it relies on expensive supplements, or eliminating food groups this is still a lot to take on.

There are numerous reasons why people stop dieting. If you do choose to follow a diet that is not sustainable in the long term, it is essential that when you stop the diet for whatever reason, you do not go back to your original habits. You need to adopt a new healthy lifestyle to keep that weight off.

When a person reaches their goal weight, they often stop their diet. Unfortunately many people dont continue with a healthy food intake, but instead celebrate the end of their restrictive diet by eating all the things they have deprived themselves of for the last few months.

This is likely to lead to regain of the lost weight, but also add extra kilos to your frame. As you have less body mass than you had before your diet, your calorie requirements for weight maintenance will have decreased. Therefore if you start to eat the same as you were before your diet, you will quickly gain back the weight and then some.

The important thing to remember when you reach your target weight is that although you cannot stop your diet you can relax it and add in more of the foods you enjoy or have been avoiding, just dont go overboard.

In the first few weeks of a weight loss diet the drop in pounds is usually satisfyingly obvious with each weigh in. This pattern is not sustainable however, and as you continue on your diet, your weight loss is likely to drop off, resulting in a weight plateau. This can be very disheartening and can cause many people to give up on their diet under the belief that it just isnt working anymore, so whats the point.

A plateau will often occur because your new less voluminous body requires less and less calories to maintain weight as your lose weight. Therefore to keep up steady weight loss, you may need to reduce calories further as you lose weight or increase your exercise to burn more. Exercise is the ideal option as this will also increase your muscle mass, leading to a faster metabolic rate and more calories being burnt when the body is at rest.

2001 American Society for Clinical Nutrition James W Anderson, Elizabeth C Konz, Robert C Frederich, and Constance L Wood 1From the VA Medical Center, Graduate Center for Nutritional Sciences, University of Kentucky Health Management Resources Weight Management Program, Lexington, and the Departments of Internal Medicine and Biostatistics, University of Kentucky, Lexington. Abstract

Background: Current perception is that participants of a structured weight-loss program regain all of their weight loss within 5 y.

Objective: The objective was to examine the long-term weight-loss maintenance of individuals completing a structured weight-loss program.

Design: Studies were required to 1) have been conducted in the United States, 2) have included participants in a structured weight-loss program, 3) have provided follow-up data with variance estimates for 2 y. Primary outcome variables were weight-loss maintenance in kilograms, weight-loss maintenance as a percentage of initial weight loss, and weight loss as a percentage of initial body weight (reduced weight).

Results: Twenty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Successful very-low-energy diets (VLEDs) were associated with significantly greater weight-loss maintenance than were successful hypoenergetic balanced diets (HBDs) at all years of follow-up. The percentage of individuals at 4 or 5 y of follow-up for VLEDs and HBDs were 55.4% and 79.7%, respectively. The results for VLEDs and HBDs, respectively, were as follows: weight-loss maintenance, 7.1 kg (95% CI: 6.1, 8.1 kg) and 2.0 (1.5, 2.5) kg; percentage weight-loss maintenance, 29% (25%, 33%) and 17% (13%, 22%); and reduced weight, 6.6% (5.7%, 7.5%) and 2.1% (1.6%, 2.7%). Weight-loss maintenance did not differ significantly between women and men. Six studies reported that groups who exercised more had significantly greater weight-loss maintenance than did those who exercised less.

Conclusions: Five years after completing structured weight-loss programs, the average individual maintained a weight loss of >3 kg and a reduced weight of >3% of initial body weight. After VLEDs or weight loss of 20 kg, individuals maintained significantly more weight loss than after HBDs or weight losses of <10 kg.

Obesity is a chronic disease that is a major health problem in the United States and is emerging as a health problem in many developed and developing countries (1). Current treatment programs for obese individuals are not very effective over the long term, leading to the common wisdom that persons who successfully lose weight will regain it all within 5 y (2,3).

The combination of very-low-energy diets (VLEDs) with behavior modification represents an important advance in enabling obese individuals to initially lose substantial amounts of weight, typically 2025 kg (4). However, the National Task Force on the Prevention and Treatment of Obesity (5) indicated that long-term maintenance of weight loss after VLEDs is no better than after other forms of obesity treatment. The present meta-analysis critically examines that contention by examining available US reports of weight-loss maintenance from 2 to 5 y after successful weight loss in structured weight-loss programs. Furthermore, because the recommended rate and amount of weight loss is a focus of debate (6), we examined long-term weight-loss maintenance and weight reduction at 5 y after either VLEDs or hypoenergetic balanced diets (HBDs).

In evaluating the literature for studies of weight-loss maintenance, we defined 3 initial inclusion criteria. First, only US studies were evaluated because of differences in weight-management practices and the availability of medical care in different countries. Second, subjects must have participated in a structured weight-loss program instead of in self-help activities. Third, follow-up weights with variance estimates must have been available for 2 y. We performed a thorough literature search by using MEDLINE (National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD) for the period of 19701999 to identify candidate studies and also used the ancestry approach (7) by consulting reference lists from single studies and pertinent literature reviews. We reviewed data from primary scientific reports and in review articles. Thirty-one separate published reports (4,8,37) met the initial criteria. We excluded 2 reports (19,22) because they did not provide specific weight-loss information at follow-up times. A study conducted by Wing et al (38) was also excluded from the analysis because the study included only children of persons with type 2 diabetes, a group shown to be atypical of the general population (39).

The primary outcome measures were weight-loss maintenance in kilograms, weight-loss maintenance as a percentage of initial weight loss (percentage weight-loss maintenance), and weight loss as percentage of initial body weight (reduced weight). Follow-up values were assessed at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 y. We analyzed results as reported and did not adjust for self-reported weights. Most investigators used VLEDs of <800 kcal/d (3347 kJ/d) or HBDs during the weight-loss phase. One group (34,35) used VLEDs and HBDs for comparison; these groups were considered to be mixed and were not analyzed in either diet group but were included in other comparisons.

*Due to the overwhelming interest in this topic, we havejust (May 2015) createdand launcheda premium program that is specifically geared towards reducing the size of the thighs (and legs) and improving their shape. Ifthis sounds like it might interest you, take a look at it here, we think its the best program of its kind online.

If you go online and google how to lose weight in your thighs, youre gonna get flooded with a whole lot of sites made by people who dont really know what theyre talking about. Theyll tell you to do all sorts of leg exercises or even ride a bike to get your thighs under control.

But, this doesnt really address the problem, does it? After all, leg exercises are designed to build muscle mass. Muscle mass adds size to your legs. And this is not what youre after if youre wanting to lose weight in your thighs, right?

If youre unhappy with your thighs, it is likely due to one of three causes:

More then likely, since youve found yourself on this page, youre suffering from problem number 1 or 2, or both. You could also be suffering from problem 3, but not know it, since your fat is covering whatever muscle on your legs there may be.

The following is a guest post by Nate Green, who works with Dr. John Berardi, nutritional advisor to athletes like UFC champion Georges St. Pierre (GSP).

This is the first of two blog posts entailing extreme physical experiments. Absolutely no performance enhancing drugs of any kind were used.

Part 1 this post details exactly how topfighters like Georges St. Pierre rapidly lose 20-30 pounds for weigh-ins. To refine the method, Nate performed this on himself, losing 20 pounds in 5 days. The unique part: Dr. Berardi and team measured key variables throughout the entire process, including the last rehydration phase. As Berardi put it:

We used GSPs exact protocol with him [Nate]. The idea was that by doing this with a guy who didnt actually have to compete the next day, we could measure all sorts of performance variables that youd never get with an athlete about to fight.

Part 2 the next post will share how Nate used intermittent fasting and strategically planned eating to gain 20 pounds in 28 days, emulating a fighter who wants (or needs) to move up a weight class in competition.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)fighters put it all out in the open for the world to see: they kick, punch, laugh, cry, and bleed in front of thousands of arena fans and millions more watching at home.

But even if youre a hardcorefan who knows all the stats, theres something behind the scenes that youve probably never seen in full: world-class weight manipulation

Done right, it can significantly increase a fighters chances of winning. An athlete will artificially lower his weight for pre-fight weigh-ins, then show up to the actual fight 10, 20, or even 30 pounds heavier than his opponent. Its a game changer.

Done wrong, it can make even the toughest guy lose his edge and probably the fight. Theres serious risk of organ failure if done haphazardly.

How To Lose Weight Fast & Easy w/ NO EXERCISE.

PRECAUTIONS: + Green Tea can cause slight seizures, although he population that carries this rare symptom is rather less, it is still a duty to advise you on it. Before starting the Greentea/Oolong Tea abby diet, i prefer you have a cup or two and see if another amounts. + Green Tea can cause slight dizziness, feelings of vomiting, nausea, headache etc.. if you follow my steps exactly in the video you can very well avoid these symptoms easily. Do not take green tea for granted and drink more cups a day than I said, and do not have it on an empty stomach unless you have tried it once and had no reactions whatsoever (like me) in which cases when your in a rush to head off somewhere, those who can withstand it on an empty stomach, it is ok to do so, but do not do it everyday, and more than once in a day, even if you know you have or CAN handle it due to experience.

MOST ASKED QUESTION - Whats My Height, Age, and Weight. Height: 161.5cm - 5ft 3inches - grew an inch after weight loss, was 5"2 all my life till 17. Age: May 05 1994 - Its 2014 - I Turned 20 this year :/ BYEBYE TEEN LIFE D: Weight: My weight Fluctuates every now and then, Mainly because I am a woman, and we do have weight fluctuations quite frequently, also my body *morph* type is prone to fluctuations. Iam currently 60-63kgs, but mostly stay at 61 & 62. 63 being the highest in the middle of my monthly's for the most.

HOW MANY CALORIES SHOULD YOU EAT? I personally eat 1200 cals a day but thats for my height, This doesn't apply to everyone as all women come in different shapes and sizes. What i can recommend is for you to find out your BMI and it will calculate everything for you depending on your height. Some people who saw my video got mistaken and assumed I've told all women to eat UNDER 1000 Cals, including men. In order to reduce the amount of assumptions i get and unnecessary notification that are rather unimportant as even me making a video falls of def ears to a few tempered humans, i thought of adding this into my description. Type into your "Google Toolbar" for a BMI calculator, and you shall be presented with one online. Also, notice how i said don't starve yourself. If i would say that, it would be so incoherent to saying to eat under 1000 cals which literally is STARVING YOURSELF.

WHAT DID I SAY AT 11:20-11:25? I said "SOUP" can fill you Up. (btw soups with creams are Fattening).

Foods That will help you see results in 2 weeks: Lemon / Lime Pineapples Apples Prunes (After or Before every meal {CAN ALSO BE USED FOR SNACKING). GreenTea ( For 3 - 4 months [MORNING + LATE AFTERNOON + EVENING] half an hour after every meal. Oolong Tea / Wulong Tea (After 3 - 4 months). half an hour after every meal. Honey + Lemon + Hot Water (Before Sleeping).

TIPS & WARNINGS: Green Tea & Oolong is best from either a traditional Chinese market/store or Walmart. Do not add too much honey to your prior sleep drink because it can cause heartburn as normal honey does. Do not Eat over 5 - 6 Prunes a day. It might cause irritation to your bowl movement. Do not go overboard with Pineapples and Apples just because it helps burn fat. Everything should be eaten in healthy quantities. Fruits can cause uncomfortable bloating or a beautiful gassy BUM!!! hahahaha Eat frozen yogurt instead of regular Ice cream.

Hope I haven't missed out any important Tips or Additional Information.

Ok, so this is not a new phenomenon and Im sure you have heard it before, Carbs vs Protein

Diets higher in protein. Are they the way forward when is comes to long term weight loss?

According to research bysubstituting simple carbohydrates and replacing with proteincould in fact be more effective then counting calorieswhen it comes to long term weight control.

What are simple carbs? Things to avoid

Starches Refined Grains Sugars ( this is the difficult part)

Examples include:

Bread (made with white flour) Pasta (made with white flour) Table Sugar Fizzy drinks such as Coke Cereals Fruit Juice

Look at the packaging when yourdoing your weekly shop.Anything thats lists sugar, sucrose, fructose, corn syrup, white or wheat flour as ingredients, mostly contain simple carbohydrates and not much else.

Simple carbohydrates actually aid in weight gain, this is because they have a high Glycemic Load. GL is the measure of how much food increases blood sugar over time.
