Brand New Series of Free Dieting Tips

Brand New Series of Free Dieting Tips

My name is Louise and I have recently teamed up with the guys at www.biggestloserplan.com to help them complete a fantastic new project.

Together we have put together a massive email course that is full of slimming, fitness and health tips. These are not long boring emails, just a simple tip, recipe or piece of advice. Sometimes light-hearted,sometimes a bit more serious.

http://www.biggestloserplan.com/diet-tipspage.html

Well we all got a bit carried away and by the time we had finished, we had enough content to produce a different tip for every day. That's right, we had 365 pieces of golden words designed to help you lose weight, get fit and feel better in yourself.

We were going to charge $47 for the whole course and the team thought that was a real bargain for a whole year of dieting tips. But I had a better idea. I said that should give the whole course away! Let's really help people who are trying to lose weight and get a better life.

http://www.biggestloserplan.com/diet-tipspage.html

I won, for the time being, so at the moment the whole course is free for everyone. But I would hurry up before they realise the true value of what they are giving away!

All the best. Louise

Astrological Diets - Slimming in the Stars

The various planets are associated with various emotions and other qualities, and with the various parts of the human body. When these are grouped in various astrological combinations the effect can be dramatic.

Astrology identifies four basic constitutional types for the body as identified by your birth sign: fire, earth, air and water. The various star sign diet characteristics of these groups can be identified and used to build a successful diet plan that will succeed.

The secret of a horoscope diet is to identify your own diet traits based upon your astrological birth sign. By recognizing the eating and personality traits for your horoscope zodiac sign, you can eliminate barriers to successful dieting forever. Once you understand what your specific influences are, you can begin to work with them and not against them.

The earth star signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, have a harder time losing weight because they let themselves gain weight for a long time before going on a diet weight loss program. On the other hand, the air star signs, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, have little trouble losing weight because they have so much nervous energy.

Do Not Read Unless You're Over 40!

Okay, now remember, I said this post is for people

Over
40
ONLY.

If you're younger than 40, and you get offended by anything I say, tough tutus, you weren't invited to this party anyway! ;-)

Now then...

I want to tell you what happened to me the other day...
I bought an exercise dvd because I'm tired of being tired. I want to get into shape, I want to fit into my clothes, and I want energy - LOTS of it!

So I put on my old sweats, put on the dvd, and here was this barely 20 something girl in the shape of a toothpick, grinning menacingly (I swear!) at the camera like she was going to take a bite out it. Or me.
"Don't worry," she says. "We're going to start out sloooowwww."

Grin grin grin.

Barely five minutes into her jumping/gyrating/vibrating routine,I collapsed on the couch, completely confused, frustrated and ANNOYED.

Maybe, just maybe I could have kept up with her for awhile if something she did made SENSE.
But just when I was able to copy one of her moves, she was on to the next one like a frenzied rabid rabbit.

"Okay," she grins, "Put your right arm up and step with your left foot and put your left arm out and hop with your right leg while bending at the waist and touch your forehead to the floor and snap back up and whirl your arms while moving your legs out and in and then turn left and slide down and roll and back up and bend and touch your head to your butt and..."

Holy @#$%&^*!
Who exercises like this???
Not me.

I'm over 40.

I want to get in shape.

I want to feel good, look good, and have lots of energy.
I don't need a barely 20's chicklet telling me, someone twice her age, how to get in shape.

Because frankly, she doesn't have a clue.
What she teaches might be fine for people her age.

But I want to learn from someone MY age or older who is in the best shape of their lives.
Now THAT'S someone who can teach me how to be fit and feel great...

...and I know you probably feel the same way.
So I went online and started searching...
...and I think I've hit the mother lode.

P.S. Want an easy shortcut to massive results fast?
Me too.

You've heard of role modeling, right?

It's where you find the people who have the skills, knowledge or results you want.
When you copy their methods, you duplicate their results as fast as humanly possible.
Modeling gives you an unfair advantage that speeds up your rate of progress and slices years off your learning curve.

So why not use modeling to uncover and duplicate the health and fitness strategies of men and women who've conquered aging and disease?

The Wondrous Benefits of Soy Protein

Soy protein is emerging as one of the great alternative protein sources for human consumption. Health experts are all excited about how soy protein can change the face of nutrition. What’s all the rage?

Here are some great reasons to get with soy protein.

Soy Protein is Plant Protein.
Soy beans contain complete protein and are one of the most digestible of all protein sources. Soy beans also contain little or no fat and have virtually no cholesterol.

People who are lactose intolerant will be pleased to know that soy beans contain zero lactose.
Being a plant protein, soy is free from the steroids and antibiotics that animal protein contain. It is also free from the parasites that contaminate some of these products. In addition, they also contain none of the diseases such as Mad Cow Disease, and Foot and Mouth Disease.


Vegetarians love this bean as it provides a comparable – if not better – source of protein, compared to the animal equivalent. It provides a protein that is better and easier to digest and is comparable to most protein supplements.

Soy Beans are very versatile.
Soy beans are very versatile. Various styles of cooking, especially Asian ones recognise the value of the humble soy bean. A variety of naturally yummy delicacies are all soy based: tofu, soy pudding, Soya milk, and meat substitutes – not to mention condiments such as soy sauce, and hoi sin sauce.

To counter the problem of world hunger, it has been suggested that the growing of soy beans should be promoted. Not only are soy beans easy to grow and harvest, but they will grow pretty much anywhere and produce good size crops in the minimum time. There have even been reports of farmers replacing their entire crop line with soy bean plants.These hardy little plants produce much per harvest, and can grow in even the most trying terrain.

The great soy bean is low in fat and can be used to substitute most protein sources. When cooking, you may use soy substitutes instead of flour for a low fat alternative. This makes it a great protein source for those that are looking to lose weight without compromising their protein requirements.

Bodybuilders can benefit from the soy bean as it can make their jobs a lot easier. Without the fat and with all the protein goodness – easily digestible at that – the soy bean is a great blessing to bodybuilders.

Although bodybuilders are currently debating over how soy can best be incorporated into their diets, this doesn’t take away anything from what soy can contribute to the overall health of a person.

It is advisable to stick to the natural protein rather than the processed protein if possible, as processed foods typically have some risk attached to them. The best use of this food is to understand how it perfectly fits into anyone’s low-fat, high-protein diet.

Soy products can be incorporated into shakes and drinks. And being lactose-free, lactose intolerant people will still be able to get their milkshake fix without having to suffer.
Soy products are also a great source of other nutrients such as saponins, isoflavones, and phytosterol.


Saponins help support a healthy immune system. It also combines with cholesterol to avoid increased absorption of cholesterol in the body. Phytosterols also help reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body in the same way saponins do.

Isoflavones are powerful antioxidants and prevent the effects of free radicals in the body. They prevent many of the signs of aging and have been known to help prevent cancer. This alone makes soy a miracle protein source in its own right. Isoflavones, along with vitamins A,C, and E are among the front liners in the fight against such disease – they also counter the effects of pollution, and stress.

How Much is Too Much?
Unlike other protein sources, it is pretty safe to consume a large amount of soy products. While allergies to soy products do exist, cases are few and far between. When changing to a soy diet, however, it would be best to consult your physician or your nutritionist. Ask specifically if the soy interferes with any prescription drugs you are taking.

Soy can be major blessing for people who are looking for a great source of protein that does not result in the side effects of most of the other sources.

Winning the War Against Fat

When you think of fighting fat with exercise, you probably think of hours of hard, sweaty exertion. If this is the case, then, you will not get any farther. This is because people who are so much into losing more by exerting more effort tend to get bored easily.

Why? Because experts contend that when people exert more effort than what they are capable of doing creates a tendency to develop weariness and ennui. Hence, they give up, stop doing their routine exercises, and end up sulking in the corner with a bag of chips that seems to have all the bad calories in this world.

Now, you might ask, "What should be done instead?" The answer: cross training.

After some intensive studies and experimentations, health experts were able to come up with the concept of incorporating cross training in order to overcome or break the monotony or dullness in an exercise program.

Cross training refers to the integration of diverse movements or activities into a person’s conventional exercise routine. The main purpose of incorporating cross training into an exercise program is to avoid overdoing excess muscle damages and to put a stop to an imminent boredom.

Three of the most commonly used activities whenever a person decides to engage into cross training are swimming, running, and cycling.

Cross training offers a variety of benefits for fitness and fatloss. It builds up the strength and endurance of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. It has also some tranquilizing effect on the nerves, and it burns up calories as much as it makes your “losing weight” more bearable.

Behind the Sonoma Diet

Believe it or not there are two diets out there where you could lose weight without counting calories, or giving up carbs. This is the basis behind the Sonoma Diet.

The Sonoma diet claims to be structured after the Mediterranean Diet but geared more toward weight loss results. In fact some people even confuse the two diets and think of them as one and the same, but there are a few key differences.

While both promote portion control, calorie control and believe in the theory that good food should be enjoyed, the similarities stop there. Yes you can eat carbs on both diets, but the Sonoma Diet is structured similar to Atkins and South Beach. Instead of being called phases though, the Sonoma diet refers to it as Waves.

Wave 1 is designed to kick your sugar habit and forbids fruit or alcohol for ten days. Most people experience rapid waste loss in those first ten days and that usually motivates them to stay on wave one longer than they should.

The Mediterranean Diet has no restriction phase. It does not result in any sort of deprivation at any point of the meal plan. Both diets consist of recipes to follow and make. People have said that the Sonoma diet has time consuming recipes that require hard finding, expensive ingredients while Mediterranean has affordable ingredients and offers tips on how to shorten cooking time.

Neither diet has big restrictions except for Sonoma’s wave 1 of the diet where fruit and sugar are not allowed. After wave 1, the Sonoma diet is very similar to the Mediterranean diet. Though the Sonoma diet will tell you to use 9 inch plates and how to fill it for lunch and dinner, the Mediterranean diet teaches you how to control your portions yourself without depending on plates. The Mediterranean also wants you to follow more of a plant friendly diet with very little meat.

You can lose and will lose weight on the Mediterranean diet, however you probably will not see as fast results as you will on the first ten days of the Sonoma diet. The Mediterranean diet believes in allowing yourself the right to enjoy all food as long as you maintain portion control. Both diets feel that not enough emphasize is placed on portion control and aim to get that across to their uses.

Do not use these programs if you are looking for a quick fix. With the exception of Wave 1 on Sonoma, slow and steady wins the raise when it comes to weight loss on these plans. The slower the weight comes off, the less likely it will go back on.
