Nitro Weight Loss

One of my friends has been on every conceivable “lose weight quick” scheme that has crossed his path. He is overweight, and has been trying to lose weight quickly for a few years now. He has tried diet pills, and numerous fad diets, but has lost no weight. He refuses to consider sensible eating programs, because they will take too long. This got me thinking, if you want to know how to drop weight fast, perhaps “slow and steady” is the way to go.

But why are so many people overweight today? A big reason is that the majority of peoples diets consists of processed foods. This “fake” food is also contributing to the increasing “life threatening”conditions facing many obese people today. Conditions such as heart disease, hypertension and diabetes. Conditions that are robbing quality of life.

To make successful changes to our diet, we need to have a plan that will introduce the changes gradually. We want to do this the “fast way”, therefore we need to make sure that any change we make is manageable. With the food giants pushing their junk on us and labeling it as “healthy food”, it is too easy to develop bad eating habits. Now we need to make good choices, one step at a time.

A good start would be to exchange the bowl of chocolate frosted sugar bombs for some oatmeal. This can be accompanied by some fruit, and maybe some nitrate/nitrite free bacon. If most of your meals are takeout, perhaps you can start to prepare meals at home one or two nights a week. The nights you do eat out, start making some healthier choices. Occasionally have a salad instead of fries. If you can introduce a new small change every second week, and keep it in place, your bad eating habits will soon be behind you.

When you are eating healthy food, you will begin to lose weight, and you will have more energy. But if you want to keep losing weight, you will have to increase your metabolic rate. This is where exercise comes in. Now you can make use of your extra energy. You can start off slow, just like when you changed your eating habits. Maybe do some sets of star jumps before hitting the shower. Occasionally add something to your exercise routine, without subtracting anything. As your fitness improves, you will have to increase your output if you want to keep seeing results.

Healthy food and exercise will get you the results you want, but there is one more factor that is needed if you are to succeed, and that is commitment. The successful road to good health is not an easy road. You will occasionally fall off the side, or stumble backwards slightly. But your commitment to your health will make the difference between getting back on track, or giving up. The path of fad diets is a loop. It has no happy ending. But the narrow and occasionally steep path you are on is the fast path, because if you stay committed, you will succeed.

After each stumble, don’t beat yourself up. Remember your commitment. Shake off the cake crumbs and resume your journey. The more you progress and see results, the better you will feel. How to drop weight fast will no longer be a mystery, as you reunite with your health.

What can lions teach us about Ab workouts? Do the best Ab workouts for men and women involve laying in the shade all day? Maybe not, but when the effort is needed, a lion will suddenly leap into action in all its majestic glory, without worrying about having a heart attack. If you were to ask a lion about cardio workouts, it probably will give you a blank stare, but if you were to ask about it’s abs, now that’s a different story.

Why is cardio promoted so much in human society? Doctors recommend it, even The Mayo Clinic has guidelines regarding cardio that say we need to maintain constant activity to raise our heart rate above a certain level and keep it there for a determined period of time, if we want to have a healthy cardiovascular system. Walk into most gyms and you will see rows and rows of people on the cardio machines, whether they be running, cycling or rowing. But most people that have been sticking to a constant training routine for long periods will tell you that eventually you will plateau out, and your progress can even revert. But the most important point is that humans are just not designed for this type of constant, unvarying activity.

If you observe the habits of wild animals, you will notice that they don’t generally perform “cardio” type workouts. They either don’t move at all, or if they do, it will be a casual walk or a sudden sprint. Their primary function is “fight or flight”. If you watch the animals when they are very young, they will run and wrestle with each other and exert large amounts of energy quickly, with lots of rest periods in between. They do not understand the concept of cardio workouts, but they are not unhealthy, either.

We may be human, but we are no different than the animals in basic design. However, our lifestyle can create long periods (years) of inactivity, and then when we want to get into shape, we take the advise of the health system and embark on our cardio journey to become fit. However, there are facts about the effects of excessive steady state endurance (cardio workouts) that the doctors are not telling us. Scientifically it is acknowledged that these workouts increase the production of free radicals in our body. Free radicals increase the risk of developing many types of cancers, prostate and breast cancer being among these. Excessive prolonged activity will also degenerate your joints, cause muscle waste. This type of activity will also reduce your immune function.

But if we were to participate in highly variable cyclic training (quick sessions of exertion, followed by a moment of rest) we would experience many benefits. our anti oxidant production will increase and our metabolic rate will increase, which is beneficial for weight loss. The body will also have a more efficient nitric oxide response, resulting in a healthier cardiovascular system. Another important difference is that a cardio workout trains your heart at a constant specific heart rate, whereas a highly variable cyclic workout will train your heart to respond to and recover quickly from virtually every level, so it will not fail when you need it. There are many technical benefits of highly variable cyclic training over excessive steady state endurance programs, but let your eyes be the judge. Do you prefer the sickly, undernourished look of a marathon runner, or the chiseled, powerful look of a sprinter?

So, what does that leave us with? Long tedious hours on a treadmill that have little real benefits, or routines that would incorporate the best ab workouts for men and women, that have so many other benefits? We may be the most advanced race, but then it comes to healthy, lean bodies, our animal friends are leaps and bounds ahead.
