10 Things You Can Do To Lose Fat Without Even Trying
1. Eat smaller more frequent meals - not only is your metabolism
boosted every time you eat something, your body can more
efficiently process smaller meals. Instead of having 3 large
meals in a day, try to break them up into 5 or 6 smaller meals.
You can even make the same things - just save half and eat it a
bit later.
2. Drink more water - regular water intake helps to flush away
waste products and keeps you hydrated, which is critical for fat
loss.
3. Be inefficient - do you need to go to the kitchen to get a
couple of things? Break it up into to two trips even if you can
do it in one. Being inefficient like this can easily double your
activity level, burning calories without even trying.
4. Eat more protein - sources of protein include foods such as
chicken, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, lean red meats, etc. Your body
burns more calories processing protein than either carbohydrates
or fats. Protein also helps to support your muscle tissue, which
burns calories all day long!
5. Take the stairs instead of the elevator - any time you can
add in a little more physical activity, do it. This doesn't mean
you need to slog up 20 flights of stairs. Even a flight or two
done regularly will add up.
6. Don't let yourself get really hungry - when you get extremely
hungry you will have a much greater tendency to overeat when you
do finally get something to eat. As well, because your body is
starting to go into starvation mode, it will be much more likely
to hold onto whatever you give it.
7. Order small portions at restaurants - it's tough to order
small french fries when "supersizing" your order is such a great
"value." Take note, however, your real savings will occur in the
calories that don't end up on your backside. You can also
immediately request a container and put half your meal into it
right away.
8. Eat more fiber - fiber is very filling. By eating more fiber
you will find yourself full sooner. This feeling of fullness will
last a long time as well.
9. Wait 20 minutes between servings - your brain takes at least
20 minutes to register that you're full. By waiting that long,
you'll give your brain a chance to realize that you probably
don't really need any more food.
10. "Cheat" on your diet - one thing I always make my clients
promise is that they will cheat on their diet. The only thing I
ask that they do is to cheat ONLY when they have planned to cheat
(you can also call it a "free meal" if cheating doesn't sit well
with you). By planning when you are going to eat the foods you
crave, you take back control of your eating habits. It's very
empowering!
This way you no longer "give in" to your cravings. You "reward
yourself" for sticking to proper nutritional habits. Do this once
or twice a week and you will feel far more in control of your
eating.

Get Your FREE Fat Loss Certification Course From Jon Benson
Subject: 2 FREE Fat Loss gifts to say thanks
Today I have not one, but two special gifts for you.
It's not very often that folks on the Internet say "thank you" to their readers. But that's what I want to do today...
.. to say "thanks for reading."
I know your time is valuable, and I appreciate lending some of it to me. I hope to continue to post and email on subjects you find interesting.
Here's a few "thank you" gifts for you.
Fitness pro Jon Benson recently sent this to me to give to you. I can give you freee of charge his 7-Day Personal Fat Loss Certification Course.
Don't let the words "Certification Course" get you too excited... Jon isn't handing out real diplomas! He just came up with a great idea: Each of us should become our OWN personal fatloss "expert". But in order to do that you need to discover how things really work. Jon separates the facts from the nonsense... and trust me, there's a heck of a lot of nonsense out there.
At the end of the course you get a freee copy of his in-demand book "The Radical Fatloss Blueprint." No cc-nums to enter either.. this is just straight-up freee gift for completing the course.
In that book you'll discover how to burn off up to 21lbs of unwanted bodyweight in just 21 days... safely and without losing muscle. In fact the hundreds of folks who have gone through the program have (all but two!) gained muscle over the 21 days.
It's utterly amazing... and you get the book and the course freee, as my gift to you.
Go here to register now:
FREE Fat Loss Certification Course
Enjoy the course, and thanks again for your readership.
P.S. I may want to add that Jon has to limit the number of people who go through the Course as he responds personally to almost every question you ask on the course Forum. So be sure to sign up freee today while it's fresh on your mind.

Setting Your Fitness Goals And Motivation Keys
Motivation Keys To Get Fit And healthy
"Knowing Is Not Enough; We Must APPLY.
Willing Is Not Enough; We Must DO."
To get fit and healthy takes a lot of work. With this blog I try to bring you what I believe are the best resources to aid you in your quest to get that six pack abs look.
People can sometimes find it hard trying to do the same routine each and every week. Which is why I preach to you about using variety in your workouts. Variety can help in keeping your mental focus and motivation high.
You see, the knowledge that you gain from reading through my materials is only one small piece of the puzzle. If you don't actually get up off your butt and TAKE ACTION, you'll get nowhere, and very fast.
Doing the same workouts over and over is a motivation killer. Eventually you get bored and stop doing your workouts. There are ways that you may be able to avoid this and continue on your quest to get fit and healthy.
The root behind the right motivation to get fit and healthy is why you even wanted to start at all. If you wanted so much to lose weight, add lean muscle and get that six pack abs look then that would be your primary motivation to follow an exercise and training program. Then all you need to do is to keep reminding yourself every day why you are doing what you do and what you want to get from it.
The 4 Keys and Motivation To Get Fit And Healthy
1) Knowing What You Want
2) Knowing Why You Want It
3) Know What The Cost Is Of Achieving Your Goal
4) Pay The Price For Achieving It
Are you REALLY committed to changing everything about the way you look and feel? Then take action. Get serious.
So let's start with what your inintial motivation was to get that six pack abs look. See which of these apply to you or add your own.
1) Be Healthier
2) Confidence having a tight, firm body can be a real confidence booster.
3) Have more Energy lets face it life today is hectic being physically fit can give you the energy to do anything.
4) Better Sex yeah I had to throw that one in. But it's true.
There are others of course but you see where I'm going with this.
One of the most important keys to sticking to your exercise program is having the proper motivation. In short, without the proper motivation you would not be able to stick to any fitness routine, long enough to achieve any results.
Motivation is something that does not happen in an instant. Motivation needs to be worked at. Just when you can find enough motivation, it can also be easy enough to lose. Remind yourself of what your motivation was to start with.
One way of reminding yourself of the what you are doing to keep the motivation up is learning to have a visual image of what you want to look like. If you want to get that six pack abs look, you might want to have a visual image of what you will look like after achieving your goal.
Another way to keep your motivation up while on an exercise program is by not doing it alone. Find someone with the same fitness goals you have. This way, you have someone who can give you the motivation to do better. Having a friend to work out with can help provide you with the necessary motivation that you need to keep going.
Another way to keep up your motivation is by keeping track of your progress. Try to have a record of your previous weight or size and try to keep track of the changes on a weekly basis to give you an account of the pounds that you have lost and the inches that have melted away due to your hard work on your goal to get that six pack abs look. Just by keeping track and being aware of the positive changes would even give you more motivation to do better and keep going.
“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”
