Fat Burning Zone

In my opinion exercising into the 'fat burning zone' is both counter productive and a total crock! If loosing weight was as clear-cut and black and white an issue as some people try to make it sound there would not be any problem with overweight people. You hear 1 expert extolling the virtues of exercising into the 'fat burning zone' of 20+ minutes of vigorous exercise and another saying that you have to exercise at least 45 minutes to change the set point of your metabolism, others say 20+.
I don't claim to be any kind of expert but I have been reading everything I could get my hands on as well as seeing what worked for me. What I tend to believe from that combination is that you probably do need to do moderate exercise for 20-45 minutes but scattered throughout that time period you need to intersperse 5-10 minutes of intense exercise in 1 or more sets. I believe that the 20-45 minutes should be no more frequent than every other day & vary in length because the body is designed to respond to real life not some artificial program. Even if you are really running for your life you would not be running full out for more than a few minutes not a half hour +. But if you are not exercising for more than a few minutes once in a while there would not be any incentive to change metabolism set points. 'Fat burning zones' next time.

Secret Weight Loss Tips of a Trainer to the Stars Revealed

I am a mother and housewife looking to find the best way to eliminate middle age spread!  I would like to share the resources that I am finding.   I know that there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" in clothing.  Well, I have found that this is true also for weight control. Some are just diet books (not for me!).  Others are just exercise books.  These have more merit.  But I am mostly looking for systems that include both and preferably can be fitted to my personal body type and eating preferences.  I think I have found one of these in  Fat Loss Revealed! I also have an ezine article at GoArticles and EzineArticles.

Does your weight loss program make you feel better?

Does your weight loss program make you feel better? Or does it just rob you of energy?
Diets, from what I hear sure don't ! I refuse to go on a diet. When you severely cut calories you automatically cut nutrients. In this day and age when the nutrient concentration in our food is already about half of what it used to be a hundred years age we certainly can not feel better, stronger, or healthier that way!

Dr. Al Sears does not just have a weight loss program. His High Speed Fat Loss book is actually an expansion & finer focus on his health building PACE program. How would you like to spend 15 minutes a day -- no more -- and feel fitter, stronger, & healthier? In the process you train your body to burn the calories you eat instead of storing them as fat! That is what I call a real weight loss program.

You can do it the fast High Speed Fat Loss way the book shows. If you are busy &/or lazy or just plain inconsistent like me, or just don't believe fast weight loss will last long term and want a weight loss program that will take the fat off slower but steadily for long term results so that you don't have to keep fighting to keep it off once you are at the weight you like I think that this is the weight loss program for you.

Both the High Speed Fat Loss book & the PACE book can be use to take the fat off at your speed.
And they are both available as e-books for a reduced price & immediate download.

Natural Weight Loss Program

I finally found a weight loss program that is a totally natural weight loss program. I found a book by a doctor in Florida, Dr Al Sears, MD. In his book "High Speed Fat Loss" he says:

“Give Me 15 Minutes a Day, and I’ll Help You Safely Lose 2 Pounds a Week!”

I can't claim to be a weight loss miracle myself. But when I first found out about Dr Al Sears's natural weight loss program I had an inch & a half layer of HARD belly fat. It was so hard it felt hard to the touch & it hurt to bend over because rather than bend it pushed in against my internal organs. I have followed only half of his 7 steps in his weight loss program & only exercised 3 minutes or less a day & still the belly fat has reduced to only about a half inch thick. And it is soft & flexible so that now it doesn't hurt to bend over any more. I don't get as out of breath as I used to on exertion. My recovery time is much faster, my posture better & I am stronger.
