12 Rules for Fat Loss

Follow these 12 rules and you are sure to reach your Fat Loss Goal.

1. Eat breakfast EVERY DAY

2. Eat some protein with every meal, aiming for approximately 1 gram protein/pound of body weight for men and .8 gram protein/pound of body weight for women

3. Think fiber, not carbs

4. Drink about half gallon of water for every 1000 Calories you eat

5. Keep fat under 30% of total calories consumed; this amount will typically come from foods you naturally eat, rather than adding fat to foods. That is unnecessary and added fats are typically not healthy.

6. Drink unsweetened green tea throughout the day-aim for at least 3 cups each day

7. Have at least 1 fruit and or vegetable at every single meal, with the goal of 5-13 servings total each day.

8. Get a few grams of fish oil each day, either through fish and or supplements

9. Do not skip a meal with the intention of "saving Calories"

10. Record what you eat and drink...self-monitoring is crucial to success

11. Do not have an all or nothing attitude towards food...if you can get 90% of your intake to meet the guidelines listed above, you'll succeed.

12. Eat smaller meals throughout the day; never skip a meal to "save calories", as this will likely lead to overeating.

Eat Well-Live Well

Boxing Training For Flat Abs!!

If you have ever watched a boxing match then you have seen the type of bodies and shape that they are in. Now understand that most boxers were not born this way, and have dedicated long hours of training to get in the kind of physical condition they need for their trade. Using the same training techniques the average person can lose weight and increase their metabolism for long term health gains.

Boxing training is still new to the fitness industry. People hear Boxing Training and think that they have to get in the ring and fight. That is so far from the truth. While boxers have used these methods for years it is only recently that some people have begun to use and see the benefits of this type of exercise program. The great thing about using a boxing program is that it provides a total body workout including aerobic conditioning, resistance training, flexibility, and balance.

The great thing about joining a boxing program is that you really get to learn the sweet science of boxing while burning anywhere from 500 to 1000 calories for one hour of work. During this time you will also maintain a heart rate at 75 to 85 percent of maximum which is the optimal range for cardivascular training.The gyms and personal trainers are recommending boxing lessons as a training choice for those who are beginners to fitness training.

It is fun and is never the same workout. It can be customized to fit each person's current fitness level which allows them to see consistent improvements in both physical condition and weight loss over a period of time. As the workouts increase aerobic and muscle condition which both lead to a permanent increase in metabolism. If you combine this with a boxers meal plan this type of training is a great way to lose weight and keep those pounds off.
