Reduce Fat Copying Tom Hanks

Reduce Fat

Have you seen the film Castaway starring Tom Hanks? This isn’t a film review but rather a review of how we live our lives today compared to our primitive ancestors. On the film Castaway the character played by Tom Hanks ends up stranded on a remote island for four years, having no choice but to fend for himself for survival just like a Stone Age man.

He didn’t sit around all day waiting to get fat, he was forced into doing exercise by needing to hunt for food for survival. There was no processed food, no soft drinks or limitless calories on hand. He was forced to work his body the way it was designed to by pulling, pushing, bending, twisting, squatting, lunging, throwing and even climbing his way through a typical day so he could hunt food and eat to stay alive.

This tells us a few things about our modern day existence.

1. We don’t need to do any form of exercise in order to make it through a typical day.
2. We have unlimited supplies of calories at our disposal without needing to exert our bodies for them.
3. The food choices we have are not all from nature.
4. The most convenient foods we eat today and over consume are man made. These contain added artificial concoctions, which are almost impossible to pronounce.

Compared to our ancestors we move less, eat more, have higher stress levels and eat poorer quality foods. The majority of us do very little exercise daily, sedentary lifestyles take over our day to day existence leaving our bodies under worked and over fed with the wrong fuels. Put all this together and you have an obesity problem with the need to REDUCE FAT.

Taking a leaf out of a castaway like Tom Hanks would dramatically reduce body fat in no time at all. Doing a little daily exercise and eating natural food is the quickest way to REDUCE FAT. But above all it is a healthier way to live your life.

Mind The Diet Without Starving The Mind

Reduce Fat

The main drawback with someone on a diet is the mind; the mind can stand in the way of progress. At the front of a dieters’ mental consciousness is their relationship with calories and the bathroom scales. This can become a vicious circle and a recipe for failure.

Dieters imprison themselves at all levels so they can reach a constant flow of progress on the scales and hope to Reduce Fat. This is tunnel vision dieting without any concern for anything but numbers. Clever marketing has tricked and got inside the heads of the venerable dieters to the extreme where nutritional health isn’t the priority anymore.

For years the dieting industry has used the low calorie approach to answer the obesity problem leaving the public with a very shallow understanding about nutrition. This has left a very sour taste in the mouth of many dieters whose progress has vanished in thin air instead of seeing excess body weight and fat disappear.

So what can potentially go wrong for a typical dieter? If the desired bodyweight is reached it is likely to be only temporary due to the unnatural dieting methods followed. This normally leads to a lifetime of yoyo dieting with body weight fluctuations and malnutrition.

The run of the mill low calorie dieting advice has led people to do things on gut feeling rather than on actual proven formulas. For example, if someone is not losing at a rate they desire they will either cut their calories to a dangerously low level and/or increase their exercise volume to compensate for a lack of progress. It becomes a battle that can’t be won resulting in more vulnerability towards worthless quick fixes.

If something sounds too good to be true then it normally is. It is essential to approach dieting with an open mind and great care must be taken when choosing whose advice to follow. Once a basic understanding about nutrition is achieved it is easy to pick out the proper advice from the ridiculous scams. The shelves of supermarkets and health food shops are full of diet foods connected to the biggest companies in the diet industry. No matter what it reads on the label if it contains ingredients you can’t pronounce or high amounts of sugar or sodium then it cant’ be helping you Reduce Fat can it? Remember knowing the basics can save you years of frustration and loads of money in the process.

I will finish this article by saying using the mirror or using a tape measure is far more better then getting weighed and living by numbers. What you see is what you get.

I’m going to share with you the list of foods I’ve bought this week for the week ahead. My six-pack is visible, I have 3 millimetres of fat on my waist and these are the foods I buy and eat in a typical week to help Reduce Fat. Note the variety I include, proof you can have a six-pack without living on chicken and rice and low fat rubbish. Most of the food on the list is organic or free range. I never cycle my diet at any particular time of the year, I eat consistently throughout the year without the need to ever change or reduce anything in my diet.

Mineral water
Herbal tea
Wheat free bread (I eat a few slices each week)
Puffed wholegrain rice cereals
Flax seed powder
Red apples
Pears
Blueberries
Sweet potatoes
Mange tout
Sugarsnap peas
Spinach
Fine beans
Peppers
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Avocado
Asparagus
Tomatoes
Mushrooms

Look at your own shopping list and compare the variety. The quickest way to Reduce Fat is eating natural and eliminating processed food. It’s not always about calories but about the quality of those calories and how much of those calories your body can digest. Protein and good fats are your best friends when it comes to getting a six-pack and staying lean. Stay away from processed foods high in sugar, regardless what it says on the label.

The Missing Link To Reduce Fat

Ever wondered why diets never seem to work for permanent results? Have you tried and failed to Reduce Fat or shift stubborn body weight in the past by counting calories, weighing food, eliminating food groups and exercising like mad? I recommend the first and one of the most important actions to take to fight the fat is to set goals and ask yourself the reasons why you want fat loss.
If you want guaranteed results in a speedy fashion you need to know which direction to take and avoid making the same mistakes other dieters make by not setting clear goals. After all you wouldn’t dream of going on a road trip to a brand new destination without turning on the Sat Nav in your vehicle would you? So why should it be different when embarking on a body transformation journey?

These are the main questions you need to ask yourself in order to succeed.

1. What Do You Want To Look Like? Write this down; describe everything in the finest detail and compare it to where you are now, don’t forget to describe your feelings now and how you will feel like once you reach your goal. Once you write down the changes you would like to see it is easier for the mind to accept and become comfortable with in order to make the steps to make it happen. I believe if you do this you will be using a very powerful psychological leap forward and according to my research is a routine almost all self-made millionaires and successful people have used.

2. What Time Frame Do You Want This To Happen? Be realistic but don’t be too conservative, a bit of pressure is good. If you fail to set a time on your goal you are less likely to accomplish what you set out to achieve because you haven’t any need to rush which could make you lazy. Never throw away the chance of an extra motivational tool. Weeks and months up to a wedding, birthday or holiday are all great targets to aim for.

3. Who Are You Doing This For and Why? Is it for your health & happiness, family/partner or for your career? Once you find the trigger point you have another motivational tool. There is no better motivation for doing something than to do it to impress someone you care about. But the bottom line is if you don’t want fat loss for yourself then you are not ready to take the steps needed to succeed. You must genuinely want it enough to take the action required.

The above guidelines to Reduce Fat are all free. They are overlooked by the quick fix culture but very powerful when used and applied to your goals.

Alaskan Salmon And Fat Loss


I watched an amazing documentary last week about Alaskan Salmon and the journey they make during their natural life. From the streams of Alaska to the Pacific Ocean and back, right back to the place they were born. Over six million years of evolution have produced a fish that can discover its way back from the vastness of the Pacific Ocean right back to the place it was born so it can spawn. They have to return to the waters they were born so their eggs can survive and their species can carry on the cycle of life. What makes this story more impressive is the journey the Salmon needs to take to get to the spawning ground; they have to swim up rugged rivers with miles of rapids and even waterfalls to leap. The problems doesn’t end there, natural predators are waiting to eat the salmon along the way. Even the predators have gone through their own period of evolution to develop successful hunting methods so they can eat and stay alive.

You may be thinking what has this got to do with Reducing Fat or reaching health and fitness goals. The reason I am telling you this is because we are all on a journey of evolution. Each of us is on the ladder of evolution in a personal sense and as part of the human race. In other words if you are trying to accomplish fat loss goals or thinking about it you may have to try different approaches before you get what you want. Look at the evolution of the Salmon and think about the diverse approaches they must have tried and failed at before they could reach their spawning ground. This can be related to any area of our lives. Whenever something doesn’t work out in the human world it is easy to give up and settle with what we have. This doesn’t happen in nature because if a living thing needs to change for its survival and fails it would cease to exist simple as that, it has no choice unlike us humans have. Maybe the privilege of choice is the downfall of human health. Present living standards have disconnected many of our survival abilities and the high level of perseverance that goes hand in hand with it. We no longer need to apply effort if we don’t want to; this gives us the option to opt out if we fall at many of the hurdles with weight and fat loss.

I think we can discover a great deal when observing the evolution of the Salmon and other creatures that share this planet with us. A human diet is one area we can learn a lot from when looking back over our own short evolution period. Consider how long we have had surplus calories readily available and the de-vitalised versions of these calories compared to the quality our ancestors were used to. Not forgetting the vast artificial concoctions in our modern day food chain that has only been with us at the blink of an eye. It isn’t surprising obesity is born out of this development in our evolution and a host of other diseases. It certainly gives you food for thought to help Reduce Fat in the future. What are you waiting for?

7 Reasons Why Low Calorie Diets Don't Work

Reduce Fat, the true cost of low calorie diets

Did you know you have to eat to lose weight? You need calories to burn calories or your metabolism will slow down (metabolism is the rate your body burns calories). Low calorie diets cause many people to be MAL-nourished, even obese people. You also need to detox for healthy weight and fat loss. Living on processed foods will make the body toxic and difficult if not impossible to digest essential nutrients. If you don’t get nutrients you get hungry, if you get hungry you eat more, if you eat more you won’t lose weight and fat.

Taking steps with food choices will reduce fat and is the only way to help build health and achieve your optimum weight. Following are consequences associated with skipping meals and not eating enough calories.

1. You don’t learn anything from dieting. All you learn is how to imprison yourself for months and even years. Nutrition is a lifestyle that needs to be taught so it can be applied for a lifetime!
2. You increase the number of fat storing enzymes each time you diet.
3. You decrease the number of fat burning enzymes each time you diet and create an increase in the size of fat cells.
4. You decrease lean body mass and basal metabolic rate. Each diet makes it harder to restore normal basal metabolic rate.
5. You create insulin and blood sugar handling problems, which most of the time creates fat storage and hypoglycemic symptoms = cravings!
6. With dieting which is a stress, more cortisol is released. When cortisol goes up, insulin goes up to protect the body. Both of these are converted to glucose and into fat = fat storing hormones.
7. Most people decrease the amount of good fat when dieting. Fat deficiency causes fat cravings, the kinds of fat you find in junk food.

The 7 reasons above why not to starve to achieve weight and fat loss are pretty scary. You can’t influence Mother Nature, in other words no matter how hard you try to drop a dress size or transform the way you look you can’t do it by reducing calories because evolution didn’t build us this way.

Save Money With A Way To Satisfy Your Hunger With Less Food

Reduce Fat
This is just a quick post today to teach you how to satisfy your hunger by actually eating less food. This may sound absurd to some of you but I can assure you there is a way to eat less and do away with hunger feelings in between meals. This is great news for people wanting to achieve weight loss and Reduce FAT. It is also a great way to save money with food bills.

Your body can only digest good quality nutrients; I will briefly explain what I mean. After eating do you ever experience bloating, an uncomfortable abdomen, gas or wind? Chances are you are intolerant to one or more of the foods you have just eaten with your last meal. What does this mean for someone who wants to Reduce FAT?

If you are intolerant to a food it means you can’t digest it properly. This will cause abdominal swelling and more fat storage. Steps need to be taken to eliminate such foods from your diet so you can regain a healthy digestive system and clear the way for your body to reduce fat.

If you carry on eating the foods you can’t digest it will lead you to eat more calories at each mealtime because the body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs. In other words signals from your digestive system tells your brain it needs more food. Eating the right foods for your body will satisfy your hunger quicker resulting in less food consumption and needing to buy less food overall.

Fat Loss Every 10 Days shows you how to get your individual blueprint to Reduce FAT and the best foods needed to fine-tune your diet.
