Fell by the wayside

Well, the latest update on my results with the RESET is simply this - I need to reacquaint myself to it. I have fallen by the wayside. I have been ill over the past few months with one illness after another and during all of those illnesses, I was taking medication that required that I eat. I used that as an excuse to return to my old, unhealthy eating habits.

Needless to say, I found some of the weight that I lost using the RESET. My most recent health situation still has me taking some heavy medication so it will be a while before I can resume my RESET ritual. I can't wait!

RESET is my answer to my weight problem.

Water Exercise

I have been researching some fun exercises to tone up after losing weight. Since it is now summer time and everyone seems to enjoy going to the beach, why not incorporate weight loss exercise with your beach scene. Try water walking for exercise. Try side swings and side bends in the water. Try any of your aerobic exercises in the water. It is my guess that you will not only tone up but you will also lose some additional pounds.
If you try this, let me know how you did with a comment to this post. Thanks.

Six Tips for Slimmer Waistline

Basically, eating right (healthy) and exercise are the main keys to controlling your weight. To extend your quest for a slimmer waistline, here are six simple tips to get you on your way:

1. Breakfast is the key to a healthy start for successful weight loss. Start your day by filling up with high-fiber cereal, fruit and whole-grain bread.
2. Make a list of small, simple projects you have been meaning to get done but could not find the time to do them and post the list in plain view. When you feel like snacking, choose one of your projects on your list. In other words, tackle an activity rather than eat.
3. Eat one half of the amount of food you normally eat. Trick to this is to use a smaller plate to trick your mind into thinking you are eating the same amount or more.
4. Engage in and maintain regular aerobic exercises. Probably the easiest one I can think of is walking.
5. Biting into a sour pickle or lemon will curb your appetite. If this is not available, try brushing your teeth.
6. Slow down when eating. Give the food time to emit the signal to your brain that you are full. One way to slow down your eating is to put your fork down between bites and chew very slowly.

These simple tips are also motivational to start you on your way to a successful healthy weight loss regime.

Walking reduces the risk of some forms of cancer and osteoporosis. Walking reduces body fat and build muscle. Walking can help to reduce the need for some medications.
Walking is much easier than jogging on your body's joints. There are no major jolts in walking.

Have You Chosen a Healthy Diet Plan?

Choosing a healthy diet to follow daily can arrive at real changes in body fat loss without being hungry or uncomfortable. The body has three essential nutrients for good nutrition- protein, fats, and carbohydrates. You must choose the right nutrients in these three areas. You must choose low-fat proteins, whole-grain carbohydrates and unsaturated fats, but in moderate portions. Anything done in moderation is better. You should also incorporate fruits and vegetables in your diet every day. You will gain more nutrients from fruit and vegetables if they are kept in their natural state.

If you are still having problems getting motivated to start a diet regime, visit www.marymshields.usana.com for possibly the best motivator for weight loss on the market.

Formula for Weight Loss

Have you decided to start a weight loss program? Was your decision based on media hype? First, check with your physician to see if weight loss is permissable (just make sure you have covered yourself regarding underlying health issues).

Now for my formula for weight loss without the aid of the media:

  1. Exercise
  2. Ingest fewer calories
  3. Eat more vegetables and fruits
  4. Curtail carbohydrate intake
  5. Drink plenty of water
  6. Skip snacking unless it's fruits and/or veggies
  7. Watch the salt intake

I believe if the above formula is followed, you should see some real weight loss. It might take some time to accomplish, but just know it can be done.

Beware: Quick Weight Loss

As I have stated so many times before, beware of quick weight loss. One of the main reasons for this warning is health issues. You must - it is imperative - consult your physician before undertaking any weight loss regime to insure a safe and healthy weight loss.

I used the RESET product because it was a healthy and safe way to lose weight. It was really not my intention to lose the amount of weight that I lost, but I was glad that I did. The most important thing RESET did for me was to give me the motivation to want to lose weight and to forge ahead with weight loss.

Most of us need that little push to get started. If you need that little push, with the understanding that you should consult your physician first, RESET is the vehicle to get you motivated and on your way to the downward incline.
