 The MOST Powerful Dieting Tip on the Planet
 
Most people are going about this weight reduction thing all wrong. They simply want to reduce the pounds giving no thought as to what it is they are losing. I'm about to give you the most powerful dieting formula on the planet.

If you were to quickly lose pounds in a few days, consider this scary thought.

You might be losing:

* fat
* muscle
* water

If you start to lose muscle, you'll slow down your metabolism at a very minimum. The effects of that can be devastating to a person who's trying to burn fat and keep muscle. You'll feel weaker during your workouts as well. One key many people don't consider is; the more muscle you
have, the higher your metabolism will be and the greater amounts of fat you'll burn. More muscle = leaner you!

If you lose too much water, you risk dehydration dangers. Dehydration is simply the loss of water from the body and a depletion of electrolyte levels (sodium and potassium).

When you become dehydrated, your body fights back by slowing down the elimination of water. This restriction in fluids stimulates your body to retain even more water.

Depending on the context, eliminating water weight is temporary and can lead to dehydration. This is no good for a person who's going to be physically active. Plenty of water is essential to healthy and efficient athletic performance.

Pay close attention:

1- How many people really take the time to figure out their body composition?

2- How many people really understand what they are losing when they 'drop 10 pounds?'

3- How many more people actually know how long it will take for their expected results?

You know what I mean don't you?

Then it hit me again, how about I show you right now, in a few simple steps, how you can take your body fat percentage and figure out the number of weeks required to reach a specific goal! You can also ensure it's fat you will be losing and not temporary water weight or even worse... muscle.

You are about to learn the secret:

* How your weight reduction goal (percentage of body fat reduction) translates into pounds

* How long does it take to reach your weight reduction goal based on the body fat you want to be (a chart is provided at the end of this letter)

- Keep in mind that your body is made up of lean body mass (which is muscle and bone) and overall body fat. If you take a person who is 40% body fat, you can determine that
60% is lean body mass. -

Fact: Ideal weight reduction should be defined as losing body fat while maintaining lean body mass.

Example Person: Luke Jackson

Male, 33 years old, 240 pounds, 40% body fat (as measured with a body fat caliper)

Step 1: Find Your Lean Body Mass (LBM)

Let's say Luke weighs 240 pounds. Multiply the total number of pounds by body fat percentage (40% in our example) to reveal the number of pounds Luke carries as fat. 240 x 0.40 = 96 pounds of fat. To find the number of pounds due to LBM, you can either subtract "fat" pounds from total weight (240 – 96 = 144) or multiply total weight by 60% (240 x 0.60 = 144).

Step 2: Calculate Your Body Fat Goal Weight

Simply take Luke's current LBM in pounds and divide it by 1.00 minus the body fat percentage goal. (1.00 represents 100% of body weight expressed as a decimal number — just as 0.40 represents 40% expressed as a decimal number.)

In our example, Luke's LBM is 144 pounds. The body fat percentage goal is 35% (5% body fat reduction). 1.00 – 0.35 = 0.65. To calculate goal weight, divide 144 by 0.65. 144 ÷ 0.65 = 222 pounds. With a goal of 35% body fat, Luke's goal weight would be 222 pounds.

Step 3: Calculate How Long It Will Take To Reach Your Goal

Comparing this number to the starting weight of 240 pounds reveals an 18-pound body fat reduction.

Losing one pound per week, it would take 18 weeks to go from 240 pounds at 40% body fat to 222 pounds at 35% body fat while maintaining the 144-pound LBM!

* 1 lb per week is the average healthy weight reduction as determined by the ISSA and many top personal trainers. You could lose more or less depending on your personal
situation. *

Now, here's the next step...

You can input your own numbers and your goal body fat percentage and figure out your personal timeline for achieving your goals.

Rather then saying "I just need to drop 10 pounds," plan on weight reduction based on body fat.

Translation: "I'm at 25% body fat right now and I think it would be healthier for me if I was at least around 20%."

Now you have a clear and reasonable goal which you can work with to find your ideal goal weight at that percentage and approximately how long it will take to reach your goal
which maintaining muscle.

Here are ranges of body fat levels for women:

Essential Fat= 10-12%
Athletes= 14-20%
Fitness= 21-24%
Acceptable= 25-31%
Obese= 32% plus

Here are ranges of body fat levels for men:

Essential Fat= 2-4%
Athletes= 6-13%
Fitness= 14-17%
Acceptable= 18-25%
Obese= 25% plus

*These numbers are according to The American Council on Exercise

Make your goal based on body composition. Once you do that, you should instantly realize how powerful this little formula really can be. While all your friends will have no idea, you clearly will be able to mark your calendar. You have just created a timeline for losing the fat and keeping
the muscle!

stress and Weight Loss: Why Dieting Alone Is Not Enough

Many individuals struggle with attaining and maintaining their ideal weight. Many people spend enormous amounts of money on gym memberships, personal trainers, and dietitians but achieve very minimal or unsatisfactory results.

More than just a problem of metabolism and food intake, recent studies show that stress and anxiety might be among the top reasons why people have a hard time losing weight. The human body actually responds to stressful situations by initiating a burst of energy; and by increasing metabolic rates and blood flow. The body also produces a substance called Cortisol, a natural steroid-like hormone that is also called the “stress hormone.” It is known as the“stress hormone” because large amounts of this substance are released whenever a person feels stressed out. It is an important hormone in the human body because it is used by the body for proper glucose metabolism, regulation of blood pressure, immune system function, and inflammatory response. However, high levels of cortisol may do more harm than good. When people becomes stressed, the adrenal glands produce more cortisol that release sugar in the blood which leads to additional weight gain. People who secrete higher levels of cortisol as a reaction to stress tend to eat more food that is high in carbohydrates, fats, salt, and sugar. This includes sweets and other processed foods that are less healthy and may lead to weight gain.

Many people tend to eat more food to suppress emotional stress and depression. They use snacks and food indulgence as escape routes to deal with pain or pressure that they experience. People who partake in these activities are termed as “emotional eaters.” The addictive qualities of food is probably the reason why people eat when they are stressed. For example, chocolate promotes the release of substantial amounts of opiates that improves mood and satisfaction.

One of the big reasons why there are more people who gaining unwanted weight or obese is because many are too stressed and too busy to prepare healthy meals at home. Because of this, they opt to eat food from the nearest fast food. Fast food meals contain many empty calories that are responsible for unwanted weight gain.

To keep stress levels under control, the body's relaxation response should be activated during stressful situations. The following methods have been proven to be very beneficial in relaxing the mind and the body:

· Keeping a journal or diary

· Self-hypnosis

· Exercise

· Yoga

· Listening to music

· Sex therapy

· Tai chi

· Meditation

· Sex

Losing weight is not just about lifting weights and cutting down on fats and carbohydrates. Of course, exercise alone cannot guarantee that those extra pounds will be shed. But certainly, mental health is critical in any completing a weight loss program. Changing one's eating habits, engaging in physical activities, and having a positive mindset all play a complimentary role in losing weight. Maintaining a stress-free lifestyle and the practice of stress management techniques may lead to healthier, happier lives.
