"Blindly following a printed diet is not the right way to lose weight. Losing weight the healthy way involves a bit of nutritional education and counseling, changing lifestyle habits and cooking methods, and following a food plan"
“I have seen countless twenty-five-yea r-old patients who came to my office and were successful at losing weight, but their skin looks dry, scaly, and pale, and they suffer from hair loss,fatigue, depression, sagging skin, constipation, and in some cases iron-deficiency , anemia and osteoporosis. All of these health problems are side-effects of an unhealthy and excessively rigid weight loss diet, and these problems could havebeen avoided if following the correct food plan,”

A success story ; the power of fitness for health, for weight loss etc
Name: Kay Alexander
Age: 58
Height: 5'3"
Before Weight: 273 pounds
I started eating more and moving less. The pounds piled on and thesedentary lifestyle started to take a toll on my health as well.
By 2010, my weight was double the normal weight for a woman my height.
How I Lost It: In April 2010, with the support of my husband and family, I began exercising and modifying my diet. I started exercising very gradually. I was nervous because of the heart attack and also my bad knees. I started with 15 minutes on the treadmill at a slow walk. By the time I left cardiac rehab, I was working out for 20 minutes on the treadmill, 20 minutes on the NuStep, 10 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes of weights. The first time I tried the elliptical was the longest five minutes ofmy life.
After I had lost about 50 pounds, I started wearing a pedometer and tracking my steps. I averaged about 5,000 to 6,000 steps a day at first. Now I average about 16,000 steps a day. I go tothe gym five to six times a week. I do cardio every time I go, and about 30 minutes of weights three times a week. Mike and I go togther on Sunday mornings.

Study: shorter but more intense fitness, a solution for timeless individuals.
Only 2.5 minutes of HIIT/SIT,High Intensity Interval Training/Sprint Interval Training, burn as many as 200 calories according to a new research
"It would take at least 30 to 40 minutes of walking at 3 to 4 mph to burn the same number of calories."
Denise Reynolds is a Registered Dietitian, licensed in both North and South Carolina. She counsels patients frequently on diets to improve symptoms of chronic diseases, such as Heart Disease, Diabetes, and Obesity.
"Research shows that many people startan exercise program but just can't keep it up. The biggest factor people quote is that they don't have the time to fit in exercise. We hope if exercise can befit into a smaller period of time, then they may give exercise a go and stick with it."
Researcher Kyle Sevits, who helped conduct a study with a team from the University of Colorado Anschultz MedicalCampus and Colorado State University.
Also good to know :
The US governments recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of aggressive exercise each week.
And if you think it's difficult, just remember the famous quote from one of this world's best that says “Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.”
~ William E. Channing ~

"Everything is out there waiting for you. All you have to do is walk up and declareyourself in. No need for permission. You just need courage to say, "Include me". Providing you have the energy to pull it off you can do what you like. And the Universal Law, being impartial, will be only too delighted to deliver."
- Stuart Wilde, is a British writer best known for his works on metaphysics and consciousness.
