Lose Your Jiggly Arms and Tummy Fat Fast

When you shake your arms do they jiggle like Jello? Or does your tummy fat sag and bulge and you can't stand to look at it anymore? I know I missed looking at my pretty feet. Most diet plans on the market today offer slow and slight changes to your body long term.

What Didn't Work

My favorite horror diet system story was when I was using the Atkins Diet, no carbs? Yeah right, almost everything has carbohydrates in it. Also who wants to wait 6 months to lose that tummy, arm, thigh, neck fat? Besides that many popular diet systems now require you to buy their expensive meals. No thanks! And counting calories, fats and carbohydrates? Not for me!

What Did Work

Luckily I found a system that works for me and have worked for tons of other people. I did lots of research online and emailed a lot of former fat people. I found that there is a way to lose weight safely, fast and effectively with a diet plan out there called Fat Loss 4 Idiots that helps people lose an average of 7-10 pounds in 11 days. Their claim is that you can lose 9 pounds in 11 days, but I found that the numbers will fluctuate depending on personal factors. Regardless, a pound is a pound! I'm excited every time I lose 4 or 5 pounds!

The Fat Loss 4 Idiots system helps you lose weight safely by using a method called calorie shifting. By rearranging your diet it can manipulate your metabolism into burning fat all the time. All you have to do is input what foods you like to eat online and the system tells you what to eat for the next 11 days every meal. You are allowed to eat an unlimited portion of food per meal and lose weight safely. After an 11 day cycle you must do 3 cheat days where you eat whatever you want, this helps you lose weight and you must do this. So overall, I give this 4/5 stars. The 1 star being sometimes I didn't like the food combinations they gave me, so I went back and I regenerated myself a new plan and picked up where I left off.

How to Set Goals and Achieve Them in 2009

There is something about "new" that keeps our thoughts occupied with new resolutions, new dreams, new hopes, new plans and new wishes. New Year gives a perfect starting point for opening the next chapter of our life and making it better and brighter than the previous one.

Unfortunately not all of our dreams and desires become reality. Keeping the initial enthusiasm and motivation over the long period of time is often tough. If you have made resolutions last year you probably know how difficult it is to stay committed to them.

The reason why so many people give up on their New Year's resolutions almost as quickly as they make them is simple.

While resolutions for the New Year give us a wonderful sense of positive intent, they are extremely hard to stick with unless we turn them into clear, well-defined goals.

Here are some goal setting tips that will help you to stay on track with your resolutions and make the upcoming year unforgettable:

1. Get It Right The First Time

Before trying to formulate any actual long-term goal for the next year have a 'mind dump'. It's a great and simple way of getting a lot of ideas out of your head, clear your mind and get a good view of your plans, decisions, and wishes.

Devote at least 20 minutes of your uninterrupted time to brainstorm. Sit down and relax. Take a piece of paper and write down whatever goals come to your mind. Don't analyze anything. Just write it down. Big or small. Simple desires or life changes. Everything you wish you had gotten
to, but didn't. Anything you wanted for a long time, but never had enough time, courage, or persistence to follow through.

2. Pick Your Goal!

Take a look at the goals that you have written down… Are any of your resolutions unrealistic? What is the most important goal for you at the moment?

I'm sure that there are many goals that you would like to accomplish, but only few of them will have the biggest impact on your life this year.

Which goal is it? Is it something that can be achieved in one year? Or will it require more time? If it is a long term goal that will take several years to achieve, you might want to break it down into smaller goals that you can accomplish in less that a year. Otherwise, there is a high
chance of losing motivation and initial momentum.

3. Concentrate Your Efforts On JUST ONE Goal

Don't set a lot of different goals at the same time. Although it may seem like a good idea to divide your focus, time and energy between multiple goals, in reality it is counter-productive.

When you set a goal - you make a decision to stay committed to it. If you are pursuing a lot of goals at the same time, you aren't committed to any of them. You're just going with the flow, hoping that you'll find time to squeeze everything into your already busy schedule. But what you do in reality is lose control of your time and let outside circumstances dictate your life.

One goal gives you clarity and focus. Ten goals create chaos and confusion.

If you want to succeed in achieving your goal next year, chose just one goal at a time and stick to it until it is 100% complete. Then pick the next one.

I know that we want to have everything right this moment. Most of us are impatient by nature. But think about this: It is much better to achieve one major goal than set 10 goals and fail to accomplish any of them!


4. Create Your Mantra

Once you've chosen your goal, turn it into a personal statement. And then turn it into something more than a statement - make it your own mantra or a verbal formula that is continuously repeated in your mind.

Make sure that you make your goal as detailed and clear as possible. There is a great way to check if your goal is stated correctly. Look at your goal "from the distance". Forget that you have written these words just a few hours ago. Imagine that you see this statement for the first time, because your friend wants to know your opinion on it. Do you have any questions? Or maybe you would like to clarify a few things? If so, make adjustments to your goal, until it is 100% clear to everyone who reads it for the first time.

After that put copies of your goal on an index card, make it your desktop wallpaper, post it in the car or right next to your bathroom mirror or next to your computer at work.

Ensure that your goal is always at a forefront of your mind. Repeat it out loud every single day. Make your goal a center of your focus.

This will help you to keep your motivation and excitement high throughout the day.

5. Decide On An Action Plan

Many people fail to achieve their goals not because they lack desire or enthusiasm, but because they fail to plan their success out.

Goals are not simple items on your to-do list. They can't be done overnight. Any worthwhile goal requires sustained effort and energy over the long period of time. Without a well-thought action plan it is almost impossible to carry big goals out.

If you want to noticeably improve your chances of success - plan specific actions that will lead you to the desired result. Your goal should be your compass that will point you into the right direction.

Your action plan is a detailed map that with the baby steps will take you to your destination point. Action plan also helps you to monitor your progress, while giving you a sense of accomplishment and making the whole process seem a lot easier.

6. Make Your Success Inevitable

Even if the goal that we have chosen sounds really appealing, it doesn't mean that we will stick to it. When it comes to doing actual work, our motivation disappears with a speed of light.

Here is a quick example. Having a beautiful, toned and slim body is a very inspirational goal. We all want to be healthy and look great. However, getting up early in the morning to run 1 mile, denying ourselves things we love to eat, changing our lifestyle sounds much less appealing. At
this point we have to consciously force ourselves into doing all these things to get the end result that we want.

Of course, if you have an iron will and unbending self-discipline, you will achieve your goal anyways. But if you are like me, you probably won't torture yourself for a long period of time. Fortunately, there is a way how you can accomplish anything you desire, without having to force
yourself into doing something.

All you have to do is set up the right conditions and let things happen for themselves.

For example, if you want to get more exercise, you can find a friend who wants to get back in shape and offer him/her to exercise together. Or set up an appointment with a personal trainer at the gym. He will stay by your side the whole time and you will more likely do your best. Or you can make a deal with your spouse that every workout that you'll skip, you'll give him/her $40.

Leave yourself no escape from achieving your goal. What conditions can you set up to make your success inevitable? With a little imagination and support of your friends and family you can accomplish any goal!

7. Build On Your Success

No matter what goal you have decided to pursue, there is only one way to achieve it - take a first step and build on your success gradually.

There is no way around it. You can't become a multi-millionaire without making your first million. You can't get in shape and have a gorgeous looking body, without doing the first workout. You can't write a book, without writing the first chapter.

Whatever you want to accomplish you must do something every single day towards making your wish reality.

Even if you do just a little bit. Something that doesn't require a lot of your time of effort, but you do it DAILY, you will achieve even your most daring goals.

Don't let a single day go by without "incrementally" adding to an accomplishment of your goal. Consistency is the most important factor of success. Not motivation, not knowledge, not your skills - but consistency.

When we are first faced with everything we must do in order to achieve our goal it is easy to feel overwhelmed. When a goal seems too difficult to accomplish we often procrastinate, preferring to postpone hard work for later. The problem with it is that "later" may never come.

The only moment when you can change or do something is NOW. Don't delude yourself with self-justifications that it is o.k. to skip today, if you do twice the work the next day. Deep down you know that it is just another story that you are telling yourself.

January is a great starting point to change your life for the better. Make no excuses next year! Do something that will take you closer to your goal every single day.

Even a tiny step towards your goal creates momentum and boosts motivation. And it is a step that you will never have to take again.

Why Your Last Diet Failed You

Let's face it if you are reading this articles your last diet most likely failed you. Was it your fault or were there flaws in the diet? I'm here to uncover the typical problems most diets have and why you need to avoid these like the plaque. I will also let you in on the best Diet to follow and reveal the one that is most effective in helping you lose a lot of weight. First let me pin point the diets that don't work:

• Low Fat Diets
• Eating Low Carbs
• Starvation Diet
• Hollywood Diets
• Pre Packaged Diet Programs

Low Fat Diets

You know all these so called "low fat" foods that are sold in your local supermarket? These foods are typically calorie ridden and will actually make you gain more weight! Why? Because most of the times they replace the Fat with loads of Sugar. Bottom line, sugar is fattening!

Eating Low Carbs

They are much too strict, not sustainable, and make your life miserable as your body does not function properly without carbs causing headaches, irritability and loss of sleep. Low carb diets will actually cause you to gain weight after the initial weight loss. Plain and simple these diets are unhealthy.

Starvation Diet

Your Body requires food to function. If you don't eat you will slow your metabolism down and actually store more fat.

Hollywood Diets

The only diet that seems popular in Hollywood is the one where the actors and actresses forget to eat. There are also the ridiculous "cookie" diets, secret potion "syrup and water' diets... Let's get real, these people are not like us and they do not need the nutrition that a normal person needs to maintain a healthy weight.

Following Pre-package Diet Programs

These foods are worse for you than foods you can make from your own home. Why? Because they are made with artificial ingredients and typically cause harm to your overall health. Not only that, pre-packaged food diets (like Jenny Craig) can cost you up to $200-500 per month to maintain!

That is more than most families spend on groceries in an entire month. How does this make sense?

So, if all of these diets don't work, which one does?

It's called Calorie Shifting...

Three Simple Ways To Lose Weight Fast Without Exercise

Three Simple Ways To Lose Weight Fast Without Exercise

Let's not kid ourselves we all want to lose weight fast. Who wants to lose it a few months down the road? I've included 3 simple ways for you to lose weight fast without drastically changing your lifestyle and without exercise.

1 - Get To Know Yourself

The first step if you want to lose weight fast is to monitor yourself for at least 2 weeks. Doing this increases your awareness of what you are doing and will allow you to see what is helping you lose weight and what isn't. You should be keep track of everything you eat, any activities and exercise you do...etc. If you find you're eating junk food as a meal daily, doing no exercise and sitting in front of a computer all day then it's should be obvious that you need to cut down on the amount of fast food you eat, and incorporate some physical activity into your life.

2 - Never Skip A Meal

If you want to lose weight fast, don't even think about skipping a meal. 3 meals a day should be eaten at minimum. When you skip a meal your metabolism, the fat burning hormone in your body, slows down. If your metabolism slows down then the fat in your body is being eliminated at a slower pace. Breakfast especially is a must to kick start your metabolism in the morning if you want to lose weight fast.

3 - Love Eating At Home

The last simple way to lose weight fast is to prepare and eat at home more often. Not only will you be saving lots of money, but you will know exactly what you are putting into your system. At restaurants and fast food joints the food tastes great but for the wrong reasons. Tons of butter, salt, MSG and fatty oils are being added to your meal to make it taste good. Unfortunately those things aren't good for you and will make you gain rather than lose weight.

Jessica Anderson has helped hundreds of people lose weight quickly by providing them with the right tools for weight loss. She has reviewed the majority of weight loss products and diets available online and only recommends one to her clients. This one diet has helped people lose an average of 9 pounds of fat every 11 days and can be found here: http://www.lose9in11days.com

How To Get Rid Of Belly Fat - Tips For Getting Rid Of Belly Fat

How To Get Rid Of Belly Fat - Tips For Getting Rid Of Belly Fat

Everyone wants to know how to get rid of their belly fat but are they willing to do what it takes to lose it. Your poor eating habits are what got you fat in the first place, and if you want to lose weight you're more likely going to need to change the way you eat. That said I'm going to give you some good tips that you can implement right away so you can learn how to get rid of belly fat once and for all.

Again the cause of belly fat has a lot to do with the foods we eat and the lack of exercise in our daily lives. Consider this at first and ask your self if you eat healthy, and if you exercise. If you answered "NO" it's time for some changes. If by chance you answered "YES" than I still think you should read this because you might find that your eating habits aren't up to par along with your exercise.

Here's How To Get Rid Of Belly Fat;

Weight loss is no secret and there is no magic potion, it all comes back to your life style and what you do day to day. So let's reveal how you can get rid of your belly fat.

Do You Skip Breakfast?

Are you the type to skip breakfast? Well if you are this is already going to affect your weight gain. Because skipping breakfast slows our bodies metabolism, which is know to burn fat. You need to jump start your metabolism and the best way to do that is to eat breakfast. Ideally you can make your self a smoothie if you are in a rush, but you need to eat a wholesome breakfast containing some lean proteins, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats.

How Many Calories Do You Consume Each Day?

If you consume more calories than your daily allowance you will store fat. Typically a males caloric allowance is anywhere from 2,000 -2,400 calories a day. And a females caloric allowance is anywhere from 1,600-1,900. These are just average numbers, and you may need more or less calories. If you burn more calories than you consume than you will lose weight. This method of weight loss can hit a plateau, which means you will eventually stop losing weight without totally losing your belly fat. In this case you need to incorporate some type of workout routine to continue losing weight.

Divide Your Caloric Allowance Into Smaller Meals;

Take the amount of calories based on your allowance and divide that number by 4 meals. You want to space your meals out so that you have a continuous supply of fuel approximately 2-4 hours apart. Eating frequently is also a great way to speed up your metabolism and great way to get rid of belly fat. Rather than eating your caloric allowance in one or two meals which is how most people do it, you will more likely slow your metabolism and feel more sluggish throughout the day.

Start A Workout Routine;

Most people cringe when they hear they need to start a workout routine. The thing is a workout routine doesn't have to be intense and it doesn't have to take over your life. Even walking 20 minutes a day is a great way to exercise. Lets face it if you don't like it you won't do it. Try to pick activities that you're more eager to participate in. All you need to do is start moving so you can get rid of your belly fat.

How To Get Rid Of Belly Fat Summed UP;

1. Don't Skip Breakfast; eat a breakfast containing lean protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. This will rev up your fat burning motor.
2. Consume slightly less than your daily caloric allowance which is a great way to start losing weight (remember this method can eventually hit a plateau).
3. Space your meals 2-4 hours apart which is also a great way to rev up your fat burning furnace.
4. Start moving; do something you like. Join a sports league, go for a walk. Take the stairs at work. Start slow, but remember if you don't like what you're doing your not going to stick with it. Pick something FUN.
