Personal Motivational Talk for Weight Loss
Arthur Agatston, MD - Leading Preventive Cardiologist and Creator and Author of the South Beach Diet
Speaking from experience I always went into weight loss thinking that it would be easy and that I would get through this like a breeze. You know what the first time around I was right. The first time I went on a diet I had reached an unacceptable 243 pounds. I decided that I wanted to be 209. I went on the Atkins Diet and as I suspected I got to that weight within 5 weeks I was there.
I remember bragging to all my friends how easy this had been. I also remember being the expert at every diet now and being the one that could consult and ridicule everyone else who was failing. This is even though I had seen my dad fight his… Continue reading

Review:
I was skeptical about this product to be honest. I’ve learned that when it comes to my body, to change something requires Dedication and Discipline. I had fat stored in my stomach area (even though I’m skinny 6″3 and 200lb). I used this product for 2 weeks.
I did not change my routine… Continue reading
Vegetarian Weight Loss Diet
According to dietitians, men are much more susceptible to heart attacks, chronic disorders and the ravages of time, given the nature of the way a man is engineered.
It’s currently a fact that 106 boys are born to every 100 girls, yet male deaths consistently outnumber females, so by the time both sexes have reached 30, nature has helped even the score.
Therefore, many dietitians believe that the single biggest step a man can take to increase his longevity is to quit meat and go strictly vegetarian, as statistics show that both vegetarian males and females consistently outlive the rest of us.
So how will a vegetarian diet affect a man?
Firstly, your arteries begin to clean themselves as soon as you start replacing meat with vegetable foods and sauces, for example by replacing meat sauce on your pizza with marinara.
Secondly, by eating less meat will also preserve your sexual potency. By the age of 60, about one in four North American men have experienced impotency, where in most cases, blocked arteries are to blame.
Thirdly, you will automatically promote longevity by consuming whole grains and fruits and… Continue reading
Diets For Men – Burning Fat Fast
Forget Fat Blockers – Fat Burners Will Only Deliver Consistent Results
It’s only recently that the term “men diet plans” has become a popular search phrase on the Internet as dieting on the whole has largely been a world mainly inhabited by women.
From Jenny Craig’s egg whites to Oprah’s Acai diet, any man searching for help out there soon switches off when they find the market solely targeted at the female audience.
This is why recently the market for male weight loss products has come alive with supplements solely geared at tackling weight issues for a man’s physique.
Doctors agree in fact that men stand a much better chance at losing weight than women due to their higher muscle mass as this therefore means they burn fat much faster.
Therefore forget “fat blockers”, as “fat burners” are the way to go if you want to prolong your metabolism and burn the fat more effectively.
There are a number of fat burners available out there, but if you want to avoid the side effects of a racing heart and the jitters, there are now equally effective… Continue reading
Diet Plans For Men
Men really don’t like dieting as in some sense it implies femininity and weakness but a growing stomach obviously poses potentially fatal resists to your body which shouldn’t be ignored.
The welcome news is that a dieting for men can be relatively easy in comparison to women. Faced without the constraints of hormonal pressure, binging and cravings and equipped with a much more powerful metabolism, men, doctors believe, really have a much easier battle on their hands.
So, equipped with a higher metabolic rate than women and a lower propensity to store fat – one the face of it, the challenge should be more than achievable.
Particular Weight Problems for Men
The obvious problem for men is the fat which accumulates around the abdomen and which then goes on to contribute to over 80% of all heart related illnesses and fatalities in men, according to a research conducted by Cancer Research UK in 2008.
Known as the “apple shape” amongst dietitians, this increases the risk of coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes – the most common weight related diseases.
A waist measurement of over 37 – 38… Continue reading
