Weight Loss and Swimming Exercises Plus News Articles on Obese and Overweight People.

I was reading a study about a swimming exercise to help people lose weight. The results were somewhat surprising. While the participants burned about the same amount of calories whether they exercised in cool water (68 degrees F) or warm water (91 degrees F) and interesting trend was noticed. The students after exercising in the cold water ate foods with almost 44 percent higher calories than after the warm..

Here’s another disgusting article I read – this is typical of the news spin that is prominent today. Only telling part of a story instead of telling both sides. In this particular case the news was if you’re way overweight companies are paying you $2.58 per hour less than people who aren’t overweight.

Here is the key information that the news report leaves out. Did these obese people produce less work than their non-overweight colleagues? A good question is ask but it was not reported. Also it’s a unfortunate fact that obese people have more health problems than non-obese people, so did these people miss more work? None of this information was contained in article, this is either a case of very sloppy reporting or covering up information. In other words an investigation was missing as to whether there were circumstances that explained the difference in pay.

I firmly believe that if two people perform the same work they should get paid the same, regardless of weight, sex, color and the color of their undershorts (thrown in for humor).

I get tired of news organization trying to make news and sell stories on half truths or doing a poor job of investigation.

For example I could hand-pick 10 of laziest dumbest girls from one town and 10 of the smartest, motivated boys from another town and give them both standardized tests. Then release an article with the headline, 10th grade boys in Town X are twice as smart as 10th grade girls in Town Y.

See the fallacy of this type of reporting. So if the article had been about Overweight people who produced the same amount of work and missed no more work than normal weight people earned less, well now you have a story.

Now don’t get me wrong I’m not against overweight people, there are some extremely talented and hardworking people who are overweight.

I just have a problem with people reporting the news who choose to not report all the facts.

With this mind there are a couple weight loss products we do recommend. I mean we all need a helping hand. These products are like assistants, they will not work on their own. But with your commitment to eating better and exercise they will make it much easier.

TAIslim (weight loss) is a good product with a number of weight loss testimonies behind it. Besides blocking carbs it is a fat burner and helps with cravings.

Carbs Away weight loss product, this is essentially the same carb blocker as Carbs Away Plus without the Fat burning and other ingredients.

Check out the Soy Miracle Ultimate Body Toner – I have had a number of people report good results with this product is terms of helping them to tone their body fat. Although I have no personal experience with this product. Here are some of the body toning testimonies that people have reported.

Chi3 Health Energy Drink – while this is mainly an excellent energy drink it also contains GoChi a good fat burner. There are a lot of good testimonies on this product.

As far as protein shakes are concerned, here is an excellent one as good or better than any on the market Soy Miracle Ultimate Protein Shake). However, protein shakes are mainly a convenience product. I would love to sell you one, however there are other items like soy milk that are less expensive and can give you the protein you need.

Freelife's Ultimate Weight Loss Plan. Simply follow these Seven Success Tips.

1. Avoid all refined carbohydrates

This is a critical tip for you to follow. Avoid refined carbohydrates, which include all products such as white breads, cakes, cookies, white rice, and pasta. Avoid all refined sugar products including sodas, ice cream, corn syrup, molasses, honey and beer. You should also avoid starchy, high-carbohydrate vegetables such as potatoes, corn, beets, and carrots. These foods raise your blood sugar levels rapidly, which can cause weight gain.

2. Eat natural, fresh, unprocessed foods

Increase lots of fresh, unprocessed foods in your diet, and stay away from processed foods. Each step of processing causes a food to produce higher glucose levels. Typically, processed foods have added sugars, carbohydrates, and chemical additives. The fiber content is also lower, which causes the sugar and carbohydrates to have a greater negative impact on your glucose levels.

3. Exercise

Exercise has a balancing effect on your blood sugar and insulin levels. It helps to decrease your body fat and cholesterol and increases your energy level. Even if you don’t have a regular exercise routine, you can incorporate exercise as part of your lifestyle. Walk to the store, walk up that flight of stairs, and mow your lawn. Studies have shown that these mini-exercise sessions have a beneficial effect on weight loss.

4. Drink water

Many of us are actually dehydrated. This is why it’s important for you to drink a minimum of eight to ten glasses of pure water daily. Adequate water intake helps in the weight loss process; rids your bloodstream of excess fat which can help reduce your cholesterol levels; and keeps you regular. Two to three glasses of Fired Up! Is a great-tasting way to increase your water intake and give your body the appetite-reducing energy boost you need every day!

5. Take a multivitamin supplement

Take an all-natural vitamin/mineral supplement rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients. Taken with food, a complete, all-natural multivitamin helps increase your energy and supports your immune system. (You will not find a better supplement than Reverse Anti-Aging Supplement!)

6. Eat protein at every meal and snack

Protein stimulates glucagon, a hormone secreted by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar and allows your body to burn stored fat. When you eat protein along with carbohydrates it helps balance your blood sugar. Drinking one or two Carbs Away Shakes every day as a snack or meal replacement is a delicious way to add the most absorbable form of protein to your diet!

7. Learn how your body reacts

Take responsibility for knowing about what food you put into your body and then how your body reacts. Choose foods that make you feel good over the long run. If you are achieving your weight and health goals, your carbohydrate consumption must be close to optimum. If you are not, adjust downward the amount of sugars, grains, starchy vegetables, and sweet fruit you are eating.

Top 10 Weight Loss Diet Tips From Freelife

Top 10 Weight Loss Tips From Freelife

1. Do not eat after 7:00 p.m. to reduce the amount of calories you consume dramatically to prevent weight gain. (40% of the calories consumed are after 7:00 p.m.)

2. Eat approximately 20 grams of protein at each meal for optimal health. Carbs Away Shakes contain 23 grams of protein per serving.

3. Eat 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Fresh Harvest provides 52 fresh fruits and vegetables in every serving.

4. Use oils rich in monounsaturated fat such as olive, canola, and peanut oil instead of hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to lower cholesterol and triglycerides.

5. Change your eating behavior - eat only when your body (stomach) is hungry, not when you are stressed, anxious, or bored. Stop eating before you feel full.

6. Eat in a calm environment, while sitting down and away from distractions, such as when driving a vehicle, watching television, or working at the computer. When you are distracted, you tend to eat unconsciously and more quickly.

7. Eat slowly, savoring each bite. It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to signal your brain that your appetite is satisfied; if you eat quickly, you have a greater tendency of overeating.

8. Set realistic weight loss goals and use a journal to chart your progress.

9. Use the “fork dip” method to decrease the fat and sugar intake of salad dressing - put salad dressing on the side, dip the fork into the salad dressing, then pick up the pieces of salad.

10. Get at least 20 minutes of exercise every day. This will boost your metabolism and help you burn fat. The Supplement Fired Up, provides optimal physical endurance during exercising.

For best results in your weight loss program, take a complete supplement rich in antioxidants like Daily Edge for optimal health, energy production, and to neutralize free-radical damage.
