12 Reasons You're Not Losing Fat 1) You’re Eating Too Many Calories This should be pretty obvious to most people, but there are still those who are claiming that you can eat all you want as long as you avoid carbs. That’s just not true. At the end of the day you need to eat less. It’s really simple. If you’re eating the right amount of healthy food it would be hard NOT to lose fat. Eating less is challenging. When you’re not losing fat the way you want to the solution is pretty simple. 2) You’re Not Eating Enough Calories This is the opposite side of the coin, #obvs. When you cut calories too low your thyroid will shut down and losing fat will become very difficult. At that point the best thing you can do is crank your calories through the roof for a while. 3) You’re Looking for the Quick Fix or Latest Celebrity Diet How long did it take you to get fat? Add all that up and you’ll get an estimate of how long it’s going to take you to lose that fat. There are no quick fixes. Eating healthy has to become habitual. Good luck.

Foods for Workouts: Cardio An all-around healthy diet is best for any exercise routine, but cardiovascular exercise requires a balance of special nutrients. If you get cardiovascular exercise regularly (and we all should) – here’s how to fuel up. Cardio Basics Cardio exercise like walking, running and biking require energy from both carbohydrates and fat. As exercise intensity changes (like due to an increase in speed or running uphill, for example), the body switches back and forth between carbs and fat to provide energy. All foods are digested and metabolized differently, so you need to think about the best times to eat foods that will support your exercise schedule. Before A Workout Pre-workout meals should focus mostly on healthy carbs, but since carbs with high amounts of fiber take longer to digest, you want to be careful not to take in too much directly before exercise. If you have 3 to 4 hours before exercise…… Have a regular meal. If you have 60 minutes or less before exercise…..
40 Belief-Shaking Remarks From a Ruthless Nonconformist If there’s one thing Friedrich Nietzsche did well, it’s obliterate feel-good beliefs people have about themselves. He has been criticized for being a misanthrope, a subvert, a cynic and a pessimist, but I think these assessments are off the mark. I believe he only wanted human beings to be more honest with themselves. He did have a remarkable gift for aphorism — he once declared, “It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.” Even today his words remain controversial. Here are 40 unsympathetic statements from the man himself. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40.

Lisa Arends: How to Transform Your Life When You're Short on Time If you're anything like me, you find that your life's to-do list grows longer each year while your available time seems to grow shorter. Perhaps you make the same resolutions each season (lose weight, eat better, stress less... sound familiar?) only to find that you do not have the freedom in your schedule to fulfill them. I know I find that the longer I live, the more I want to accomplish, and yet the responsibilities I carry continue to grow. Interval Training I have been an exercise devotee for the last 20 years, yet I have only added HIIT (high-intensity interval training) in the last few years. Within months of adding HIIT, my body fat dropped to the lowest it has ever been and I developed a six-pack for the first time in my life (in my 30s!). True HIIT should only be introduced into your routine if you already have some baseline fitness and a doctor's approval, but you can use the principle of intervals regardless of your fitness levels.
