Personal Progress Chart 01-11-2008 11:07 am

Filling in my personal progress chart for "Lose 20 pounds b4 Christmas" weight loss plan. This is by far the best weight loss tool available. Get it here http://ccp.herbal-nutrition-tips.com

Keeping track of your weight loss has several added benefits.

It helps you see if you are actually making progress.
It helps you see areas where you could improve upon.
If things look good you get to brag to all your friends and peers.
It allows you to gauge how close you are to your weight loss goal.

Here is the chart I'm refering too.

I know it's kind of hard to read. So I have included the .pdf file where it comes from. If you would like to use this chart open the pdf file it is page 4 of 8. Then print it out. The actual chart is much larger than the photo you see here.

I used this chart 3 years ago for my "Get Healthy" weight loss plan. In that plan I was up to obesity 2 that's more than 40 pounds overweight. By the time I had my personal progress chart filled in I had lost 50 pounds and 23 inches off my body. To keep me focused I tacked up my chart where I could see it everyday. Along the way I could see I was losing weight too slowly at first. I modified my diet some and began to see better results.

That was 3 years ago and I kept most of that weight off, until this year. I somehow managed to put 20 pounds back on. Now, I have a new chart tacked up to my wall. Get the personal progress chart here... Read More (Permalink)

Nutrient Absorption and Weight Loss 04-11-2008 12:39 pm

There are ways to improve your nutrient absorption that do not require a surgeon to replace your colon, intestines, kidneys or liver. This is extremely important to dieters because you want to get more effect from the foods you do eat. Dieting isn't about eating less it's about burning more calories than you consume. So you want to get the most out of your food.

Nutrient absorption is effective in a weight loss program because you get more nutrition from your food. Internal cleansing improves nutrient absorption by removing toxins and waste from your digestive system. Improved cellular activity means you get more energy from less food. More energy from less food means you will burn more calories quicker and thus lose more weight.

3 Weight Loss Laws of Metabolism 09-11-2008 9:49 am

If Sir Issac Newton had defined weight loss laws they would be something like this. A body at rest would stay at rest until acted upon by a metabolism booster. Weight loss is equal to energy burned times metabolic rate. A metabolism boost would have an equal and opposite energy burning reaction. Instead he defined the principal laws of motion.

So let's say that your goal is to improve your size, shape and physical health. Then you would need an outside force to act upon your resting body to accelerate it toward that goal. We can see that weight loss is equal to energy burned times metabolic rate or WL = E x M.

Weight Loss Plateau - Get Over It 18-11-2008 9:15 am

I don't get it, why did I stop losing weight? I lost 10 pounds real fast and then no weight loss in a week. What happened, did my plan stop working? Am I going to be stuck at this weight forever?

Whoa, slow down cowboy, everything is going great. All that has happened is you've reached a plateau. As with any plan there are going to be bumps along the way. Or, in a weight loss plan it is called a plateau.

This generally happens around week 3 after beginning a new diet. Your body has adjusted to a higher metabolism and nutrient intake. As your body becomes accustomed to the new diet it reaches a new normal metabolism. It seems like your not losing any weight but did you check for inch loss?

Inch loss is just as important as weight loss in a diet. Don't worry just keep doing your weight loss plan. As you begin burning fat off it has to go somewhere. If you experience no weight loss but have inch loss that means you have converted the fat into muscle.

In time your body will adjust again and start burning more fat. Just keep doing your weight loss plan as usual and you will get over the weight loss plateau.
