Nowadays fat loss seems to be a goal for everyone. We are constantly bombarded with infomercials selling us everything from the latest "ab-blasters" to the latest "miracle pill" promising to "melt" the fat away. There's a good reason we've seen an increase in these types of misleading (and in the vast majority of cases, completely false) infomercials promoting these products: here in the United States, obesity has risen to epidemic proportions.
Love eating Chinese food? Most of us do, but don't get fooled into thinking that anything and everything on the Chinese food menu is good for you. In fact, most people look to Chinese cuisine as a healthy alternative to fast food, but the truth is that there are a bunch of pitfalls on the menu, including high sodium and fat contents across several different foods across the typical Chinese menu.
Who isn't looking to lose fat, lose a couple of inches off their waistline, go down a couple of sizes and start working towards those "six pack abs"? Rhetorical question, I know. Of course, most of us have heard that for the best results, eating "right", taking the right supplements and combining resistance and cardio training into your routine is key, and of course, that's great advice.
With the "Biggest Loser" being watched by millions, invariably people started noticing how week after week that the men seemed to lose much more weight than the women. In fact, I've been asked that question more times than I could count. So why is that? Why do men just seem to shed it off and women seem to struggle to lose an inch or two?
Another one of life's great mysteries! Just kidding.
You can work diligently all week following your menu and adhering to your exercise program only to have the "wheels come off" over the weekend and undermine all your efforts. It can easily be done with an ounce of fudge here, a piece of pizza there, or maybe a too large a serving size or an appetizer at your favorite restaurant.
If eating splurges are a problem for you, it is essential that you stick to your long range planning.
