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.
