Weight Loss Tips

When it comes to losing fat many women have are making huge mistakes and as a result they are not getting the results they want.

1. Doing the same exercise routine
Women who do the same workout over and over without changing it will notice after awhile it stops producing results and they immediately become frustrated!
To start burning fat again change your routine around (the sequence in which you perform you exercises).

2. Doing too much cardio
I find a lot of women do too much cardio and never get the results they want! One of the reasons is that doing too much and not eating enough will slow down your metabolism.

3. Not doing a fat-burning workout
Most women who don’t see results as fast as they want to are not working out with enough intensity! You don’t need to spend hours in the gym to blast fat. Focus on intensity to where you are breathing heavy and sweating. Women who participate in a boot camp program or circuit training can easily accomplish this type of workout.

4. Doing cardio the wrong way
Reading magazines or talking on the phone when doing cardio,
it becomes a “social hour” and if you are looking to burn more fat you need to work a little harder so that holding a conversation is challenging.

5. Not doing any resistance training
Most women will focus on only cardio and are either afraid to lift weights or don’t realize the incredible fat-burning benefits. Your metabolism is elevated throughout the day when you weight train. Whereas with cardio it only stays elevated when you are doing it and only a few hours after that.

6. Lifting too light
Lifting light and lots of reps is not going to help you burn more fat, it is the intensity of the load(with the weights) that you are lifting. Don’t be afraid to challenge your muscles, it will only help you burn more fat!

7. Having the wrong workout for your body type
If you want to create a more pleasing look to sculpt your body then you need to focus on training that body part.
For example if you have a weak upper body and it does not match the rest of your body, then your workouts should focus more on that part first!

8. Not doing cardio at the right times
Most women do cardio before weight training, which is not the most effective way to burn fat.
The best way to burn more fat is to do your resistance training first then immediately follow cardio. This enables your body to burn more fat efficiently since it has burned off your glycogen(stored energy), plus you will have more energy to lift weights!

The overwhelming popularity of Hoodia Gordonii in the weight loss industry has caused a lot of con artists to spring up. This shouldn’t be a surprise. Anytime a product receives the attention that Hoodia has garnered, the scams are soon to follow. The sad part is the reputation of the real product becomes tarnished, because people who use the knock-offs are not going to see the results. I have used the real Hoodia and I can say that it does work. It has lived up to the billing 100%.

I want to give everyone a few guidelines that can make choosing your Hoodia Gordonii easier. I do not endorse any particular product because there are several manufacturers around the world who are producing the real thing. If you know the right questions to ask you will easily identify the scams. A company named Phytopharm in Britain is the original manufacturer of Hoodia as a commercial weight loss product. They have a contract with South African entities for the rights to the Hoodia Gordonii products. This does not mean that Phytopharm does not sell the pure Hoodia Gordonii powder to other companies, it would only make sense to supply a few others in the industry. So that is your first question. Where does the Hoodia Gordonii originate, virtually all pure Hoodia originates from Phytopharm.

If the Hoodia comes from anywhere except South Africa, it does not work. Well atleast nothing has been found outside South Africa that works. Only the heart of the plant has any value. If the maker has used the whole plant, you are not getting pure product. Manufacturer’s who are reputable also will offer evidence of third party testing.

Your first choice would be to purchase from Phytopharm. They sell Hoodia Gordonii products under several different trade names. You will usually be able to find the manufacturer name Phytopharm somewhere on their many websites. I have not found Phytopharm products locally. Apparently the do the bulk of their business online with various websites. With this knowledge you should be able to find the real Hoodia Gordonii product. Believe me it may take a little effort but, the results will be worth it.

Plan to solve your weight-loss problems in 3 weeks? This is possible if you understand what is happening to the neuro-chemical and hormonal systems in your body.

The cumulative results of decades’ worth of research have led experts to conclude that the key to speedy, lasting weight loss lies in nurturing and repairing three interrelated body systems. In order to make the biochemical changes necessary for fast weight loss, the glandular, neuro-chemical and hormonal systems each need to be given specialized treatment inoder for weight loss to take effect.

You may want to start off with a three-week plan. It starts with a well-rounded basic meal plan, then adds key nutrients in week 1 that restore the master weight-loss glandsthe thyroid and adrenals. Then week 2 adds nutrients that boost neuro-transmitter production, making it possible to dodge the powerful food cravings that sabotage weight loss during the second week of most diets. Finally, week 3 incorporates foods that naturally boost hormone levels, shutting off fat cells’ genetically programmed drive to plump up in order to produce more estrogen. The result is a strong restorative base that optimizes all three areas of the female weight-loss puzzle through week 4 and beyond so the weight continues to reduce and never returns.

Each week fine tune your slimming system

In addition to following a pound-paring meal plan designed to nourish the entire body, each week you’ll incorporate two dietary approaches scientifically proven to optimize the health and functioning of the glandular, neurochemical and hormonal systems, in that order. Rather than shocking your body with a hard-to-maintain diet over
