Five easy weight loss tips should be enough to get you started if you are one of the millions of people trying to get rid of those few extra pounds.

1. Stop talking and take action - All talk and no action will do nothing to help the weight come off. Action is the first step on your healthy weight loss journey. When you start exercising instead of only talking about healthy weight loss, your results will be evident and they will come quickly.
2. Healthy weight loss takes time - Weight loss is like most things we desire, more money better job, but these all take time, nothing happens instantly only is fast and furious weight loss unsafe on the body, many times it doesn't effectively keep the weight off.

4. Healthy weight loss is a lifestyle change - Sadly, weight often becomes a lifelong struggle for many people. Excess processed foods and a sedentary lifestyle are the two biggest contributors to this constant struggle. Changing the way you think about food is the first major step in changing your diet and the way you look and feel. Food should be considered a fuel for the body, not a passion. In order to enjoy successful healthy weight loss, you must be committed to making lifestyle changes; including choosing the correct foods and then sticking with your choices.
5. Healthy weight loss is more Than a number - When dieting, try hiding the scale for a while. When the numbers go down, happiness goes up.

Chocolate treat

When you are dieting na occasional reward can do no harm, so how about a chocolate treat. chocolate does have some health benefits according to a number of studies in the UK and USA. A large clinical study completed in England confirmed that chocolate may be good for the heart and brain.

The study showed that regularly eating chocolate could cut the risk of heart disease by about one-third.

Now, before you raid the nearest store, remember: most commercial chocolate bars, cookies, and drinks are high in sugar, fat, and calories, so eating too much can lead to weight gain and negate the benefit of your healthy weight loss diet. The key is moderation. It's probably best to keep your total daily calories count the same. Try swapping out something bad, like potato chips or soda, and reward yourself with some small bit of chocolate. Previous studies have suggested that chocolate may protect against high blood pressure and diabetes, both of which are risk factors for heart disease and stroke; however, no one studied heart disease in particular.

Results showed that people who ate the most chocolate had a 37% lower risk of heart disease and a 29% lower risk of stroke compared with people who ate the least amount of chocolate. Unfortunately, they did not explore which compounds in chocolate might explain its protective effects. Previous research have suggested that polyphenols, the natural antioxidants in chocolate, play a key role. If true, then dark chocolate should have an increased protective effect.

Finding time for Exercise

Many people use the excuse that they are so busy they do not have time for exercise. The problem is exercise is an essential part of health weight loss, so how can you plan your time more efficiently. Consider for example, you can cook meals for the whole week to save time. This way, you will have more time for keeping yourself healthy. Home cooked healthy meals are readily available when you arrive home. A 15-minute workout after lunch can also help to recharge your body and prepare it for the second half of the day.

Always make it a point to keep your body physically active during the day, even if you work at an office. Just because you work inside an office doesn't mean you have to sit around all day. you can exercise by taking the stairs rather than the lift.

Support from the people around you is also important. Keeping fit can be difficult to achieve without the support from family and friends, and even from your employer. Although some companies are now providing fitness programs for their employees, not all businesses have this.

Sometimes, you need to let your employer know what you are trying to achieve and hope that the employer will allow you to have some flexibility in your work schedule.

Always stick to your schedule. Keeping appointments is an essential trait for any business person. There is no reason why this shouldn't be applied in your wellness and fitness program. Most of all never put off a chance to work out. If you're a busy individual, always remember that a 10 to 15 minute exercise is an important as any task of the day.

Marketing your Business

Marketing Your Business

Today is a departure from my usual tips on how to market your business, as I discovered new company with a unique marketing plan which not only can save people money when moving house but can also be turned into a business. The worlds finances are still in dire strakes and many people are struggling to sell houses to reduce their debt burden. The problem is there are few buyers and the costs of moving house can mount up quickly. I should know having moved house earlier this year.

• The company provides a free listing for all sellers and if the property is not sold in 12 weeks pay the seller a small weekly compensation until sold.
• Buyers are also encouraged to use the service and will have legal fees and survey paid plus 50% of removals costs.

That is a win win situation for both parties, but how can they afford all this, the answer is advertising, you see moving home incurs many ancillary costs and companies are only to keen to keen to have advertising on high traffic sites listed in Alexa. On top of which they have a number of international investors.

So now what of the business side, well interested parties can buy a franchise for a particular area and earn commissions on all sales in that area, in addition they can earn money from sub affiliates either in their area or from anywhere in the world. Now I think they have all angles covered and we will have to see how everything pans out, The only thing I do not like is the early starter Guarantees, which sound a bit get rich quick, but I can understand this is needed in order to get the all areas covered as soon as possible and the guarantees will not last forever.

Lack of sleep may cause weight gain

As if growing old did not present enough problems, new research shows that middle-aged and older women who have trouble getting to or staying asleep at night may pack on more pounds than their well-rested peers.

The findings, reported in the International Journal of Obesity, strengthen the evidence that sleep problems are related to weight gain. In this case, the study design allowed the researchers to show that sleep problems came before substantial weight gain in some participants.

Finnish researchers followed more than 7,300 40- to 60-year-old adults for seven years. They found that women who reported significant sleep problems at the outset generally put on more weight over time than women who slept well. Roughly one-third of women with frequent sleep problems gained at least 11 pounds, versus about a fifth of women with no sleep difficulties at the outset. The link in the women persisted even when the investigators accounted for a number of factors that can affect both sleep quality and weight gain — including participants' body weight at the study's start, their exercise habits and their general physical and mental health.

Men's sleep problems apparently were not related to weight gain. However, the smaller number of men in the study– 1,300 versus more than 5,700 women — may have made any potential effect among men harder to detect.

While the findings do not prove cause-and-effect, they raise the possibility that improving sleep quality might help stave off excess weight gain. There is evidence that sleep loss alters people's levels of the appetite-regulating hormones leptin and ghrelin — which could, in theory, spur them to overeat.

Another study in July 2011 studying effect of diet and Physical activity of adolescents in Europe concluded that short sleep duration is associated with higher likelihood of increasing BMI, particularly in female adolescents. This association seems to be related to both sides of the energy balance equation due to a combination of increased food intake and more sedentary habits.

So it seems that no matter what your age the less you sleep the more weight you might gain

Watch Your Sugar Intake

Healthy Weight Loss
Chose you Drinks

Do you drink Pepsi, Diet Coke, Monster, Vitamin Water, 5 Hour Energy 7 Up, Sprite or other drinks A new study conducted by the Center for Disease Control found that 50% Americans above the age of 2 consume at least one sugary drink daily.

Unbeknown to most people, caffeine is considered a drug and it's very possible to develop an addiction to it. But a caffeine craving every day is only one side effect of ingesting sugary drinks.

Sugar, in the form of Glucose, is one of the main fuels your body uses to create energy. That's why every time you ingest something sugary, you get that boost in brain and body function. But your body only needs a certain amount of sugar, less than you think and certainly less than the amount of sugar in a Coca Cola.

When you consume too much sugar, your body releases insulin which binds to the sugar and causes it to become fat. But this kind of fat is not easy to get rid of. Sugar is a very simple molecule when it comes to structure which is why it's consumed so easily, but once it gets converted to fat it becomes a very complex molecule that's hard to break down. So it's easy to gain but very hard to lose.

Diet drinks are even worse than regular energy drinks because they contain artificial sugar, which is more complex than natural sugar. Both artificial and natural sugars can also damage teeth and lead to cavities and tooth decay.

And if there's sugar in your drink, there's a good chance there's also caffeine. Caffeine is what's known as a psychoactive substance, but unlike most psychoactive substances it is legal and unregulated. According to the FDA, 90% of Americans consume caffeine daily. But the side effects of gratuitous amounts of caffeine should be stressed:

• Caffeine excretes water out of your system which can cause dehydration. For every 1% your body is dehydrated, body function and performance decreases by 10%.
• Excessive caffeine intake has also been linked to nervousness, insomnia, arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm), increased urination, and anxiety.
• The "crash" effect caused by caffeine can lead to nausea, anxiety, and seizures

.

However, energy drinks in moderation are normal. A cup of coffee a day is not going to give you a heart attack. Just be careful that your one cup of coffee doesn't lead to three or four cans of soda or Red Bull a day. And there are healthy alternatives to energy drinks.

Tea is great way to get that morning pick-me-up. Its natural herbal ingredients open up the lungs to allow more oxygen to get to your brain to help you feel more awake. Gatorade is also a good substitute. It does contain sugar, but it also contains electrolytes which prevent that "crash-and-burn" effect.

Do You Need To Lose Weight

Healthy Weight Loss
Do you need to lose weight

One of the numerous signs that you may need to lose weight is if you are becoming obese. Many folks do not realise that there is a difference between being overweight and being obese. While diverse healthcare professionals have different meanings for obese, it is often said that those who are thirty or 40 pounds overweight are obese. If you are obese, you shouldn't only be worried about your appearance, but your wellness as well. Obesity has been linked to a number of health complications, including the early onset of death.

Maybe you have been told that you need to lose weight. Whether your physician recommended losing weight or perhaps if someone that you know on a personal stage has, it is advised that you just at least take their suggestions into account. Unfortunately, many individuals are self-conscious or become upset if they are told that they need to lose weight. What you have to remember is that the person raising the issue about your weight to you likely isn't as concerned with your appearance as they are with your health.

Do you find that clothes no longer fit you. Needless to say, it is normal for some individuals to gain pounds or to have their weight go up and down, but you may want to think about becoming a member of a weight loss program or working on your own weight loss plan if you find that the clothes no longer fit or are difficult to get into. Unfortunately, many people do not just have a small weight gain problem. Small weight gain often leads to more, which could have a negative impact on your health. It is also important to mention the cost of new clothes, which you may not be able to afford.

Do you find simple tasks or activities, such as walking up your flight of stairs, difficult, you may want to think about losing weight. Of course, turning out to be out of breath from simple actions may not necessarily just be a weight problem, but there is a good chance that it is. When you lose weight, even just a little bit of it, you will likely find it easier to do many of the activities that you love or even the tasks that you need to perform, like take your kids on the park.

The above mentioned signs are simply a few of the many signals that you could need to lose weight.
