Do you find yourself saying "I don't like exercising" or I don't have time to exercise"
Listen to the podcast of how to re-program your mind to lose belly fat or just get into the groove of exercising.
One of the things I talk about on the fat loss program is to eat as many fat burning foods as you can. Eating fat burning foods will give you more energy and get you the results you want.
At the top of my fat burning food list is chicken and broccoli. I love to eat this all the time and I found the perfect gadget to steam my food that was so easy and fast.
The other day I purchased one of these:
It's the PRESTO 0600 steamer (sells for under $30). This is the fastest & easiest way that I have found to prepare food. There is no excuse now that you don't have time to prepare healthy fat burning meals.
Here are some ideas of what you can do:
Steam broccoli and chicken
Steamed veggies like red peppers, mushrooms, and cabbage
Steam seafood like salmon or shrimp
And so many other combinations..you can even use it as a crockpot.
The great thing about this is it's easy to clean and you can toss in even frozen food that will take very little time at all.
I simply did chicken & broccoli, then added some reduced sodium soy sauce and stone ground mustard for a dipping sauce.
Add spices to eat or a little olive oil. If you are on the go this is a must have item for your kitchen. You can also cook more portions at once, that way you can have them for later.
Aloe Vera is a plant which is used for varieties of
purposes and acts as a health enhancer.

Hi everyone
I am still not sure how to go about mixing weight training into a circuit.
Can someone guide me and show me an effective way to do this and how much I should do.
Jesse
My response-
Hi Jesse,
Some of the ways in which you can mix circuit and weight training are the following:
Say for example you are doing 4 weight training sessions. You could simply do 2 regular weight training sessions doing 8-12 reps (usually stick to lower reps and heavier weight) and 2 circuit training sessions.
To further define what this schedule would look like, check this out:
Monday weight training
Tues. off
Wed. circuit training
Thurs. off
Fri. weight training
Sat. circuit training
Of course this is just one of the possibilities.
Also keep in mind that you can do circuit training in place of some cardio sessions as Chaney writes here:

Diets do work if you want to get rid of weight fast and gain it all back
Diets do work if you want to feel miserable all day
Diets do work on slowing down your metabolism
Women want results quickly and will go to extreme measures to lose weight.
If you have ever been on a strict diet, you know what I mean. Let me tell you there is a better way to burn the fat off, while keeping your metabolism high. When I talk to most women who are dieting they tell me they are afraid to eat and that the pounds will just come on. Well, if you want a faster metabolism and want to keep it running that way, don't be fooled in thinking you have to eat practically nothing.
So in order to lose more fat and keep your metabolism high, you need to fuel your body and exercise. Many women complain that after they hit 30 all of the sudden they gained extra body fat around the stomach, hips, and thighs. Is it really age or is it something else?
Most women I find aren't doing what they need to do in order to have their metabolisms going.
They exercise less and some cases eat more or eat less. If you have been on a low calorie diet for a long time then your body eventually adapts to it and it becomes harder to lose weight.
Every time you diet you suppress your metabolic rate about 30%. Thus, it becomes difficult to lose weight/fat. Along with dieting you begin to lose muscle. Muscle is the key to your metabolism, so the more lean mass that you have the better.
So what should you do if you have been dieting for a long time on low calories? You want to bring up your calories to get things going. I explain this in my section of how to repair your metabolism here
I see this often in women, but once they adjust their calories with the right ratios of fats, carbs, and protein their bodies become more efficient in burning fat. Not to mention they can get away with eating some treats here and there. Make sure that you are eating mostly fat burning foods. (Lean proteins, essential fats, and carbs)
Some of my favorite fat burning foods are:
Peanut butter (all-natural)
Chicken
Broccoli
You will find here a more detailed list:

This may sound counterintuitive, but science doesn't lie. 95% of women who go on diets gain the weight back then some. The best way is to lose it at a steady pace, and it will stay off..the other way I can pretty much guarantee it will come back on. Any quick fix diet and take the weight off you but how many of them will guarantee after you go back to your old ways of eating it comes right back on.
If you think about it, and do it the right way it's actually faster.

Q. How do I lose fat around my waist and hips which was gained after becoming post-menopausal? Also,I want to make sure I eat the proper food. I do strenuous work at work. Please help. Thank you.
A.
Many women post menopause will gain weight, especially around their hips and stomach.
First I would have to ask you if you had exercised prior to menopause. Most women that have will find that if the gain any weight it is very minimal. As our bodies age, the secret is really to have healthy habits so that this doesn't happen.
So, in your case I would first look and see what you are eating. Nutrition is one of the most important things that post-menopausal women overlook. Especially carbohydrate consumption. Your carbohydrate metabolism will slow down especially if you are not exercising. I like to help women find what I call their "sweet spot" for finding out how many carbs they should eat and what kinds are the best to get rid of the post-menopausal belly fat.
In my 6-Week Fat Burning System I share some techniques that will help with this. If you exercise more than your body will need more carbs. Every woman is so individual.
Other thing if you need to have a lot of energy at work that your are moving around a lot you definitely want to eat foods that will give you energy. I talk more about this here
Some of the fat-burning foods on my list are:
oatmeal
brown rice
green beans
almonds
These are just a few that I have included in my fat-burning system. Basically if you include more of the fat-burning foods which has what is call TEF (thermic Effect on Food), that is the rate in which food is metabolized. So, if you are post-menopausal you want to make sure that the majority of the foods you eat are fat-burning.
