Weight Loss Tips Vol. 1
February 20, 2008 – 12:05AM

Winter is coming to an end and its time to get our beach bodies ready. Its now time to fight the fat we accumulated over the holiday season and try some of these tips for health. That’s right Thanksgivings turkey, Christmas’s cookies, Holiday hams and so on… We have all been there, and instead of going out buying the latest widget on a TV Ad and being disappointed let’s try something new and simple, health advice. I found out that our bodies are all unique and something’s work well for others and some don’t. However I have trained quite a few people and I found results with these easy steps and a very short amount of money.

1.) PROTEIN.

In order to build muscle and tighten up, we all need to have minimum .75 grams of protein per pound of body weight. To build mass we should have around 1.5x Body weight. Protein is what are muscles are made of. You would be surprised how shocked you will become after you just do that simple thing mixed with a decent workout plan.

2.) CARNITINE.

It is something that has been producing my client’s great results when mixed with a good workout plan and a good diet. Below gives more information on what it does. You can go to any store and buy this for under $10 a bottle.

Carnitine holds the water in your muscle making you feel that sole/buff in your muscles during your workout. It also gives you an extra boast during the workout so you can have that extra strength. It’s kind of like taking caffeine before your work out, making you awake, active, and focused.

Also known as L-carnitine or levocarnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound biosynthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine.
[1] It helps in the consumption and disposal of fat in the body because it is responsible for the transport of fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria. It is often sold as a nutritional supplement. Carnitine was originally found as a growth factor for mealworms and labeled vitamin Bt. Natural carnitine is the L-stereoisomer.

3.) A SOLID WORKOUT PROGRAM.

A diet will be a great step towards fat loss but lets not kid are selves, a diet alone isn’t going to help solve are problems. We need to hit the gym at least 3 days a week. For a minimum of 30 minutes. A Cardio programs is a great way to start shedding the weight. But don’t let the weights scare you. You actually burn weight off more if you are working out with weights as opposed to cardio. To build muscle you need your body’s energy to do so. Which kick starts the metabolism, thus making you lose weight.

4.) A MULTIVITIAM.

You’ll be surprised on how your body doesn’t receive the proper amount of nutrients in a day. That is why it is a must to take a multivitamin everyday. Not only will it aid in Fat loss it will also help you recover from soreness, boost immune system, and give you more energy.

5.) SLEEP OFF THE FAT.

A good night’s sleep is very important. Not only for are health but for those who are trying to lose weight. A minimum of 7 hours of sleep should be the benchmark for us. For those of you trying to lower the temperature or using one blanket. It will help you have a deep relaxing sleep and can help you burn an extra 200 calories per night!!!

The following will be a great way to kick off the New Year right. Keep posted, soon I will add workout routines for all. From gaining mass to losing weight. Even sports performance.

Staying Healthy Means Staying FIT
