So many people struggle with their weight. Whether its just a few pounds they need to lose or much more, it seems that weight loss is on the minds of more than half of the population at any given time. There are countless ads everywhere you look on how to effectively lose weight. No matter if it’s on television, the internet or billboards on the highway, you will see products and gyms that are so quick to promise you the results you’ve been waiting for, if you just try what they have to offer.

Truthfully, it isn’t as complicated as some would have you belief. It is by no means easy but it is completely doable with the implementation of two key things: water and walking. Both of these things used together will definitely have you seeing significant changes in your weight. You don’t need to shell out tons of money for diet products, special foods or gym memberships. Water and walking will quickly have you on your way to losing body fat and reducing your weight.

The first benefit of drinking a lot of water is that it can often curb your hunger. Sometimes when we feel stabs of hunger, we aren’t actually hungry at all, we’re thirsty. Drinking water consistently throughout the day will help you to be able to distinguish actual hunger from other types of hunger. Hunger that can sometimes arise from boredom or certain emotions. Make sure to drink water before, after and during a meal. This is really important because it will help you consume less food. Try only drinking cold water. Your body actually burns more calories warming up the water once it’s swallowed.

Extra calorie burn equals extra body fat loss. It’s extremely important that you understand how much water you are drinking per day. Measuring it is key. You should be consuming half of your total body weight in ounces. So if you weigh 170lbs, you need to be drinking 85 ounces of water per day, which is roughly 10 and a half glasses. Not that much more than the normally recommended 8 glasses a day. Being well hydrated will also help you with your energy levels which you’ll need for your walks! Water and walking are deeply correlated.

So many people have the incorrect notion that they need to do really extensive, complicated, intense workouts to really lose weight. This is not true. Walking is a sensational way to lose body fat and improve other aspects of overall health that aid in losing weight. Walking is one of the best exercise options out there, it is great for whatever fitness level you are currently at and it is easy to increase the speed of your pace once your ability and level of fitness increases.

When you walk, you engage your entire body, pumping your arms in time with your stride will quickly raise your heart rate and increase your calorie burn. Another great thing about walking is that it’s great fun with or without someone with you. If you can convince a friend to start walking with you, you’ll have many walks filled with great and enlightening conversation. Not only will both of you get in better shape but you’ll be strengthening your friendship as well. Walking is perfect for this because some cannot maintain conversation during really grueling high intensity workouts. If you are walking by yourself it will give you ample time to think and will often help you clear your head. Some of the best alone time is spent while walking outdoors. One really great thing about walking outside is all the great scenery that you can enjoy if you really focus on your surroundings and allow yourself to appreciate nature.

By implementing both water and walking you will be on your way to losing weight and improving your health drastically. Drinking half your weight in ounces of cold water each day and walking for 45 minutes to and hour will have you seeing results before you know it. Good health is one of the most important things that you can possess, so take care of yourself by drinking water and walking regularly. Drink water instead of juice or soda, take the stairs instead of using the elevator. All of these little things will yield big results if you commit yourself to it and are consistent!

I’m often asked to pick my favorite “to do’s” when it comes to slimming the waistline. So here they are:

1. Cut Calories

Cutting calories is the key to maintaining a trim midsection. The only way to see a solid set of abs is in the absence of body fat. To achieve this goal a person must reduce calories. However, what I find is people go whole hog and drop caloric intake too much and too fast. When reducing calories make sure it is not too drastic. This slows your metabolism and allows you to store more stubborn fat. When you reduce calories and increase energy output the body will be forced to burn fat all over, not just in one area. I’m not saying to starve, simply drop the junk food and reduce calories by 10 to 15percent. That may mean cutting out the donuts.

2. Eat at Least Five to Six Small Meals Per Day

Small meals eaten frequently help to keep your metabolism high, allowing you to burn fat, even while you sleep. This approach is in vogue with many fitness authorities. The main reason is stoking the furnace within your body. The more you practice eating small meals more often, the more you will find body fat leaving your body. For more information on this check out “Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle” mentioned at the end of this manual.

3. Reduce Carbohydrate Intake at Night

Since the majority of carbs consumed are complex (slow release), tapering them off toward the end of the day will minimize the possibility of carb-to-fat turnover. This is a proven fact eat, carbs at night and you will gain body fat. Think about it, if you eat late are you ever hungry in the morning? No! Blood sugar levels are still above average. So what happens? You do not eat a good breakfast …and poof you eat like a hog at lunch so you’re not hungry again until late at night….and the cycle continues over and over.

4. Eat a Healthy Serving of Fiber with Meals

Fiber helps with the digestion of protein, carbs and fat. It is the key to burning the sugar from carbs making muscles leaner. Adding fiber to your diet is one of the best things you can do. Also, anything containing fiber is usually going to be low in calories (i.e. vegetables). Get as much of this stuff as you possibly can. Fiber is necessary for a balanced nutritional plan.

I’ll be honest… the average person doesn’t possess
the patience required to develop a great set of abs or
the work ethic to maintain it.

They lack the discipline and determination needed to
achieve their goal. Many people go on “quick fix” fad
diets to reduce their midsection. Others buy every
ab training gizmo and gadget advertised on TV only
to end up folding them up and sliding them under the
bed or using them as “expensive clothes hangers.”

Based on the amount of email I get on the subject, I know
how fixated most men and women are about finding the “Holy
Grail” of abdominal development in some type of machine
advertised on TV.

Here is a question some one sent me…

Question: I understand that diet is the most important aspect
of AB development. I also know would like to know your
opinion of AB machines in general we get from the TV Ads.

I would like to hear your opinion. I know these products are
all grossly overpriced. I have had some problems with my
back, which has caused me to give up squatting and make
some ab exercises uncomfortable. Do you think any of these
machines will help some merit for someone in my
circumstance?

Answer: To answer your question, the answer is yes and no;
but I’m definitely leaning more toward the no. Here’s why any
of these products including the Ab-doer, AB DOMINATOR,
Ab Swing, AB ROLLER PLUS, Toros Track, Toros Tiger, Smart
Abs and I could go on and on..

Typically, any machine that involves gripping handles out to
the side, in front for support aren’t good because once you
begin to get tired, your body will naturally have a tendency to
use the arms to force the abdominal motion, taking the abs
out of the picture almost completely and asking your
back to do more work setting you up for injury.

I’ve tested similar gym equipment, which use handles in
almost the same position as these machines. It shouldn’t
differ that much. Even though you’re sitting upright as with
the AB-DOer or lying prone as with the torso track.
Each tend to focus on a specific area to the detriment of full
range of motion. Read more…

What’s hot in the world of abdominal and core training today seems to change as fast as the latest clothing styles. New gurus, new infomercials, new machines – today’s fitness marketplace is all about “what’s new.” I often write reviews about the latest, greatest ab and core training gadgets, usually debunking most of them, but this time I’m actually going to do the opposite.As new products push their way into the fitness scene, some truly legitimate, cost effective devices get pushed out, forgotten, or even worse – dismissed as “fitness fads.” Such is the case with the swiss ball (also known as a “exercise ball”, “gym ball” or “stability ball”) Read more…
