Fat Loss Factor Review Points

Getting started with the Fat Loss Factor Diet takes on one of the most common hindrances to losing body fat. There are chemicals and toxins all around us in our environment and in our foods.  Those toxins are stored in our body in our fat cells. If you want to lose the fat then you need to get rid of the toxins stored in those fat cells. Then you need to learn how to eat healthy and live healthy. Most of us just don't do it.
Most people simply don't know how.

• There are different options on this diet. There are 2 weeks of  natural foods in the 1st phase.  Some of the foods that you are not to eat on this phase may surprise you. Many people are eating what they have been told is healthy food but these so called healthy foods are really keeping them fat.  This simple 2 week plan helps to reset your body and get it ready to burn lots of fat. ..

• Completely optional in phase two is a 3 to 10 day cleanse. This cleanse helps you to get rid of toxins. Workouts should be very gentle during the cleanse if at all.  The Master Cleanse is for giving your body a rest so you don't want to overdo it.   Even though the cleanse is optional,  5 to 8 pound losses have been reported for this phase.

• The 3rd phase is a delightful Smoothie phase or if you choose you can move on to the Lifestyle Un-Diet.  The whole program regardless of the phases you choose for yourself are designed to bring your body back into a healthy balance. 

• When you have removed the toxins from your body and your liver and other organs are able to function properly you will feel so much better and your fat loss efforts will be easier to achieve.

• The Fat Loss Factor comes across to me as being a very different way to lose weight than most of the programs out there.  Instead of starting off counting calories, carbs, or fat, you eat specific types of foods for two weeks.  Then you follow one of three different options in the sequence that works best for you and your health conditions.

Workouts are given for men,women, at home for men, at home for women and even special instructions for those who are over the age of 45. If you can follow directions and apply the principles of this plan then you should be able to lose weight. 

New Season for Biggest Loser

Now that the new season for the Biggest Loser has begun, we should all start hearing about people who are trying to lose weight along  with the contestants.  The Biggest Loser is best known for helping people to drop body fat fast or as this blog suggests, very quickly.

Diet and exercise go hand in hand to help the contestants do that. Although you can lose weight through dieting alone you can drop body fat much quicker when you also do the exercises. One thing that a lot of lay people neglect to do is to follow the disclaimer to check with your physician first. Failing to do this can cause serious injury.  You don't want that.

The trainers are very good at teaching proper methods of diet and exercise.  Bob Harper is back this season along with a couple  of new trainers. It will be fun watching each of them employ their individual methods.Image via Wikipedia

 To lose weight quickly and then pile the pounds back on is very unhealthy.  It is always better to lose at a pace that you can handle over the long term.  Changing your everyday habits can take some time but it usually pays off much better.

If you follow the Biggest Loser at home remember to do the things that help you to be healthy in the long run, not just short term rapid weight loss.

Check with  your doctor to be sure that the diet and exercises that are used on the show will be ok for you to use as well.  You will thank yourself for doing it.

Losing Weight With an Injury

Nearly every diet or exercise program that you begin comes with instructions to check with your doctor first to be sure that you are physically able to do that program. Most people who consider themselves healthy ignore that warning. Please don't.

Sometimes you have problems of which you are not even aware. I did ignore the warning. I did have an unknown problem. I now am recovering from an injury. Unknown to me some bone spurs had developed under my kneecap. That is another way of saying that I have Arthritis. Even though supplementation had kept plenty of cartilage in there those bone spurs can wreak havoc if you try to do any high impact aerobics.

After losing 12 pounds on The Biggest Loser Diet and doing some moderate exercises, I decided to kick it up a bit. Instead I went backwards. Check with your doctor before doing anything different with your diet or exercise program, please!  High impact aerobics are for the very young, not for middle aged and older adults.

Fortunately, I now know my limitations and what I can and can't do.  The temporary setback on my weight loss was indeed, temporary. By following my diet I continued to lose even when I was sitting around "resting" my knee. total weight lost so far is 20 pounds.

I always wondered if the weight lost on The Biggest Loser TV program was just because of the heavy exercise that they do. Now it is apparent that the healthy diet that they follow is a major component of the whole program. Let us face it. We all need to exercise to become physically fit. We do not need to spend 8 hours a day doing it. Most of us couldn't anyway.

When we have an injury it is important to not re-injure ourselves. There are many exercises that can be done even sitting in a chair. Being active and using the muscles that are not injured helps to keep us healthy. As our injuries heal we can begin using those muscles as well with our doctors approval and this will also help us to avoid injury in the future.

If you have some disability, don't make the assumption that you cannot exercise. Talk with your doctor and see what kind of activity is safe for you to do. Then get active. you will thank yourself for it.
