Get Proof of Your Progress



Sometimes you may feel that you’re not making any progress at all with your fitness program ? like a gerbil spinning on its wheel ? going nowhere. But there are ways to track your weight loss and fitness targets that will provide the incentive you need to keep on keeping on until you reach your goals.

During your fitness quest, you’ll want to weigh yourself once a month rather than daily or weekly. This strategy gives your body a chance to react to the weeks of effort you’ve given. It also keeps you from becoming discouraged if your happen to see a minuscule weight loss on the scale.

Another way to track your weight loss progress is to take your measurements. Sometimes the scale doesn’t reflect the inches you’re losing and taking measurements will reassure you that you’re making some progress.

When you measure yourself, do so without clothing or clothing that fits tight to your skin (such as leotards). There are numerous measurement charts online that provide instructions on how to accurately take your measurements and that will track your progress in inches to your desired goal. You should measure yourself once a week or once a month.

You can also track your fitness progress by measuring your body fat percentage. This method can provide help you realize how much fat you need to lose to reach the desired fitness goal. Body fat should measure from 25 to 31% for women and 18 to 25% for men.

There are a number of ways to measure body fat, including hydrostatic weighing, calipers, DEXA and bioelectrical impedance scales. But a simpler way to measure body fat is to access an online calculator that uses skin fold or tape measurements. If you belong to a health or fitness club, be sure to ask if they offer any of these methods to measure body fat percentages.

A great motivational tool to be your skinniest best is to actually see yourself thinner via a digitally enhanced photo (before and after). This method will cost you, but if you have trouble picturing yourself thin, it could be a powerful incentive to keep up with your diet and exercise program.

There are several online sites where you can obtain a digitally-adjusted photo of yourself. You simply send them a full body photo, they slim you down digitally and send the enhanced photo back to you by email.

Print them out and post them on your refrigerator door and mirrors to give you a mental reality of what you can be at the end of your quest ? a new and thinner you.

Fat Loss for Idiots – Review From My Experience

I see ads everywhere for the fat loss for idiots weight loss program. If you don’t already know, this is a very hot fat loss program that is easily accessible online. Fat loss for idiots has garnered quite a reputation and is a very hot seller. I decided to try the program out to see if I could lose a few pounds in under two weeks. I wanted to see if their plan was as good as some of the free tips I have on my own website. Without further ado, I present my review.

First, I went to the fat loss for idiots website to download the program. As of this writing, you have two options; download the diet alone, or with the online calculator. I chose the complete package. I read the diet plan and using their online diet generator was able to create a customized day by day menu. I have to say that I really liked the idea that my every meal was spelled out clearly and included foods that I was able to choose from the food list. I should also mention that the diet favors simple, unprocessed foods without complicated recipes and weird ingredients so the meal preparation was really minimal. For me, this is a big plus. With many diets I was on previously, the daunting task of meal preparation and measuring and all that was a real drag, let me tell you. For those of you who work and commute, I have to say that the meals are portable and you don’t have to worry about heating things up so you can eat your meals anywhere.

The basic idea of the fat loss for idiots diet is to eat 4 meals each day and space them about 2. 5 to 3 hours apart. You are also expected to finish eating before 7:00PM. I have advocated these two ideas for a long time. The idea of having smaller meals evenly spaced apart serves several purposes. First and foremost, you are kept from getting really hungry and cheating on your diet. Not having that starving feeling really helps you lose weight. Second, by eating smaller meals more often stimulates your metabolism. Keeping your metabolism going is very important. If your metabolism stalls, your weight loss will stall with it. It is worth noting that many diet programs and websites tell you not to eat your last meal of the day late. This is good advice for any diet. If your body does not have time to burn these calories, it will store the excess as fat, something to avoid when you are on a diet.

Another main component of the diet is the concept of changing food groups around. The diet generator on the fat loss for idiots website keeps your body off balance by varying the proteins and carbohydrates and fats. By constantly mixing the ratios, your body does not adapt to the changes fast enough and the weight loss does not stall. But does the diet work? Did it work for me?

I stuck with the entire 11 day fat loss for idiots diet plan and lost about 10 pounds. I did not exercise during this period. I was about 35lbs. overweight when I started the diet. I am very happy with the results. I plan on giving my body some time to adjust and soon I will generate a new diet on the fat loss for idiots website to continue my weight loss journey. I hope this article has helped you. In my bio, there are links to more information on this diet as well as a link to my personal weight loss website that has free articles on various weight loss topics. Thanks for reading.
