New Year, New You – Lose Those Extra Pounds in 2009


		HAPPY NEW YEAR! If you are like most of us, you indulged in your fair share of desserts, restaurant-rich meals, and holiday celebrations since Thanksgiving. While this six week period of gluttony is a holiday tradition for most of us, less-than-strict eating and living often adds a few unwanted pounds. Now that the party’s over, you are probably thinking it’s time to get back on the weight loss wagon and shed that extra weight.

The truth is the basic concept is simple enough: if you want to lose weight, the calories taken in must be less than those burned. Try these techniques to make the process more efficient:

Eat Less...

Pick high protein foods over carbs and fats. They’ll fight food cravings and help build muscle mass.

Eat more fruits and vegetables – they’re low calorie per pound and their fiber, vitamins, and nutrients will fill you.

Reduce soft drinks, fruit juices and even sports drinks. They deceptively pack empty calories into liquid form.

Choose foods with main ingredients that are complex carbohydrates (like whole grains) over sugars and simple carbohydrates (like enriched white flour). They will help you maintain stable blood sugar levels so that you stay feeling satisfied, longer.

Consume smaller portions by using a smaller plate at home. Research has proven that a slightly smaller plate gives you the perception that you’ve eaten more. Try a 7” or 8” dinner plate.

Savor the taste. It takes 20 minutes for your brain to realize that your stomach is satisfied. Slow down, and you will be able to stop before overeating, leaving you full, not stuffed.

Eat smaller quantities more frequently. Avoid the starve/binge cycle which only messes up your metabolism and makes your body hoard calories during perceived starvation periods.

And exercise more...

Exercising bigger muscle groups like legs and torso burn more calories.

Start the muscular virtuous cycle - more muscle burns more calories. Combine heart-pumping aerobic exercise, flexibility and strength training. Strength training alone won’t burn the necessary weight loss calories…but it will help you put on more muscle that can burn more calories.

Morning workouts help you burn more calories than exercising throughout the day, and get it out of the way first thing in the morning so you won’t skip it later.

Consider using a comprehensive nutritional supplement to support your weight loss activities. The MenScience 24 Fit System is a 100% natural system that helps you burn more fat, increase lean muscle mass and provides the extra energy required to burn more calories and exercise successfully.
