With So Many Diet Plans Conflicting With Each Other, Who Can You Trust?



Frustrating is an understatement, I know. It can be so incredibly difficult to cut through all the conflicting information you get from the various diet plans out there. What makes this such a difficult task? Well, for starters, most of these diet plans have been created by equally qualified people. This article is about to expose these discrepancies, helping you make an effective, stress-free dieting decision.

We’ve all seen it. One health guru tells you that in order to lose weight and build lean muscle, you’ve got to eat lots of lean protein and very few carbs. A week later, you’re exposed to another health guru (just as renowned as the first) telling you that common sense tells us that we need less and less protein as we get older, that this fact is obvious when you look at the composition of a mother’s milk as her baby gets older (the protein decreases), and that the animals we eat for protein didn’t get their protein by consuming protein, but rather amino acids.

Is milk good for you… or terrible? Does veganism create weak, frail people… or absolute powerhouses? Does consuming fat actually make you fat? Depending upon the book you’re currently reading, the “official” answers to these questions can vary wildly.

So here’s what I propose. It is the most common sense approach known to man. Follow results! Try something for a week and monitor your progress. If you’re headed in the right direction, continue. Otherwise, follow the next guru’s advice for a week and see how that works for you.

If this level of trial and error doesn’t appeal to you, consider the commonly accepted truth that diet plans that have you consuming fewer calories than you use are going to work every time. That’s just the way the body is designed. Regardless of any of the latest diet trends that may tell you that calories don’t matter, use your own common sense on this one.

Extra calories are stored as body fat. This fat is full of calories (units of energy). If you keep stuffing yourself with more calories than you use, then your body will continue to store them. On the other hand, when you use more calories than you consume, your body will pull from your fat reserves in order to fuel itself. Any diet plans that try to debunk this well-known fact are immediately subject to suspicion from where I stand.

What’s really funny to me about a lot of these genuinely convincing programs is that they try to pitch their diet by claiming that you can eat whatever you want and don’t have to do much exercise. What you eat and how you move your body are ALL that matter when it comes to losing weight. The fresher and more natural your food, the better. And the more you exercise, the better (within reason).

Women’s Weight Training Tips




Muscle building and strength training is a great way for women to lose weight and tone up. Building muscle has many benefits. Building muscle will increase your metabolic rate and burn fat faster. Also, as women age, it is even more important to do an activity that is good for the bones and weight training is one such activity. So it’s important in incorporate both muscle and strength training into your exercise routine.

Women’s Weight Training Tips

1. Three times a week. Just like in any other kind of exercise, it must be done at least three times a week in order to make it more effective in delivering your desired results. Three times is the ideal number because more than three times would not allow proper time for your muscles and your body to recover and heal.

2. Weight-Cardio intervals. The key to an effective workout is having intervals. You can’t live on jogging or weight training alone. A successful workout should be comprised of both. Women require more effort in maintaining their physique or in burning fat as compared to men, and a proper workout consisting of both weight training and cardio is necessary. Cardio and weight training work hand in hand to burn fat, speed up the metabolism, and increase endurance and resistance.

3. Gradually increase amount of weight over time. Once your body gets used to a 5 pound weight it will not be as effective. The point of slowly increasing your weights is to challenge your body. The number of reps and sets can be easily adjusted to accommodate your capability to lift a certain weight level as well.

4. Stretch and cool down after weight training. In order to avoid cramping and to help your muscles relax after working so hard it’s important to stretch the whole body and have a proper cool down after weight training.

Studies have shown that lifting weights builds up your bones, increases your metabolism, reduces body fat, and improves balance. When you start a weight lifting program it is important to set goals, learn proper technique, be consistent, work all of your muscle groups and always be patient with yourself. Building muscle takes time usually 4 to 6 weeks before you start to notice any changes. Use these women’s weight training tips to help you get started on your journey today to become fit and healthy no matter what your age.
