Self Hypnosis to Lose Weight – Part 1

Throughout history, people have tried almost every way possible to lose weight. You might feel like you’ve tried everything yourself – but have you ever considered self hypnosis to lose weight?

It works for many folks, but not for everyone. However the success rate is high enough to make self hypnosis a viable weight loss strategy.

Sound intriguing? Let’s take a closer look at the pros and cons of using self hypnosis to lose weight.

Pro: Self hypnosis doesn’t require special equipment.

You don’t even need a hypnotist, because you’re doing the hypnosis yourself! Unlike some weight loss programs, self hypnosis requires nothing but you and your belief. However, if you’re first starting out, you might want to visit a hypnotherapist to become familiar with the process.

If you’re not accustomed to diet and exercise, it’s worth the time and money to consult a doctor and a nutritionist to come up with a healthy eating and exercise plan. Combined with the self hypnosis, these measures will have you slimming down before you know it.

How to Reduce Double Chin Fat – Part 3

Facial Toning Exercises

Some people believe you can reduce double chin size by toning the facial muscles. While this hasn’t been backed up by science, many folks swear by facial toning exercises.

To target a double chin, stick out your lower lip as far as you can. Then scoop it up and over your top lip. Hold for 10 seconds, and release. Do 30 to 40 of these each day. (The process looks rather amusing, so you might want to do it when nobody is watching!)

Hydrating to Reduce Double Chin Size

If you’re bloated, your face is one of the first places to show it. Sodium and sugary carbs are two of the biggest bloat-producers, so cutting down on them can reduce the appearance of a double chin.

Carbs cause bloating by attracting water, which makes muscles and fat deposits swell in size. Sodium causes inflammation in the body, causing it to retain fluid in an effort to dilute the sodium. This leads to bloating, and bloating leads to a larger double chin.

Beat bloating and reduce double chin size by drinking lots of water. Drink at least 8 glasses a day. If your face and hands are still puffy, drink 2 or 3 more glasses. Avoid sodium, sweets, and white flour products until your bloating is under control.

How to Reduce Double Chin Fat – Part 2

Exercises that Reduce Fat

Cardio exercise will also help you burn fat faster, which will help you reduce double chin fat – and every other kind. Five hours of cardio exercise each week will promote weight loss and keep you feeling great. It doesn’t matter which cardio activity you choose - they all help. Any exercise that gives your heart a workout will help reduce fat by burning off a bunch of unneeded and unwanted calories. Persistence is the key, so choose a few activities you enjoy, and cycle through them each week. Changing exercises will keep you from getting bored and giving in to excuses.

Strength training is also important for building muscle and speeding up the metabolism. Build more muscle and burn more fat by pumping iron three to five times a week. If weight-lifting doesn’t appeal to you, try yoga or isometrics.

How to Reduce Double Chin Fat – Part 1

Double chins are a sad fact of life for many of us. If you have a naturally round face, you might be especially prone to storing extra fat beneath your chin. While there are no instant cures, you can reduce double chin fat the same way you reduce fat everywhere else: By exercising more and eating less.

But fat loss doesn’t need to be torturous. Here are some ways you can reduce double chin fat without working yourself to death or saying goodbye to your favorite foods.

Foods that Reduce Fat

Some foods make you gain weight, and others promote fat loss. Carbs can lead to weight gain if you eat the wrong kinds. Bad carbs are typically defined as any food that gets most of its calories from refined sugar or refined white flour.

Low-fat dairy products are excellent fat fighters. Studies have shown that people who consumed 3 servings of dairy each day lost more weight than those who didn’t consume dairy products.

Unsaturated fats, like those found in nuts, olives, olive oil, and salmon, are also good for speeding up your metabolism. They also make you feel full for longer periods of time, which keeps you from overeating due to hunger.

Carbohydrates are important for keeping your energy up and helping you keep a positive outlook. Low-carb diets have been shown to cause depression in some people. Instead of cutting carbs completely, switch to the healthier kind found in whole fruits, vegetables, and products made from whole grain.

Finally, sip green tea in the morning instead of coffee. Green tea revs up the metabolism, making your body get rid of its fat stores faster!

How to Get a Firm Belly – Part 2

Learn to Relax

Who would have thought that you could get a firm belly while you relax? It’s possible with the help of yoga. Yoga has a two-fold effect on our bellies. First, it reduces high stress levels that lead to weight gain. Stress-induced weight gain often results in excess belly fat. Reducing your stress level can give you a flatter stomach and lower your risk for many diseases.

Yoga also tones the stomach muscles. Look for a yoga routine that includes supine poses and other postures that work the abdominal muscles. Check out a yoga DVD from your local library, or look for free video tutorials online. You will be able to tell right away if a particular pose targets the stomach area. To get a firm belly faster, design your own routine using the most effective belly-busting poses.

Brilliant Yoga is a great program that can help you to firm up your belly and all of your body. Click here to find out more about brilliant yoga

As you can see, it takes a little effort to get a firm belly -- but the rewards are well worth it.

How to Get a Firm Belly – Part 1

It seems that we place a lot of importance on taut, flat stomachs. Every day, advertisements promise to help us “Get a firm belly”, or “Get sculpted abs”. What they don’t tell us is that belly fat isn’t just unattractive, it’s hazardous to your health. 

Numerous studies have found a link between belly flab and high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. Measure your waist to see if you have a dangerous level of abdominal fat. For optimal health, men should have a waist circumference below 40 inches. Women should have a waist circumference below 35 inches.

Here are some proven techniques to help you get a firm belly and reduce dangerous abdominal fat:

Move More, Eat Right

Exercise doesn’t have to be done at a gym. You can burn calories while you participate in activities that you consider fun or fulfilling. For example, gardening burns several hundred calories per hour. Team sports, like flag football, burn even more. Swimming is also a great fat-burner, and fun to boot. You could also do volunteer work, or just take long walks down nature trails.

Cardio exercise will kick your fat-burning metabolism into overdrive. All it requires is persistence; if you can find an activity you like, and stick with it, the pounds will melt away. It’s also important to vary your routine for maximum calorie burning, and to ward off boredom.

There are several exercises you can do to get a firm belly. The American Council on Exercise did a study to find out which exercises targeted the abs most effectively. Their findings? Supine bicycle, captain’s chair leg lifts, and vertical leg crunches work the abs harder than any other exercise. Twisting crunches and exercise ball crunches were other good ones. Try doing those exercises several times a week to get a firm belly and whittle your waistline. An Internet search will turn up detailed step-by-step tutorials for each exercise.

There are foods that can help you get a firm belly, too. Sugary carbs contribute to belly fat build-up, but foods high in protein and fiber are slenderizing. Look for a diet plan comprised mostly of complex carbs, lean protein sources, and unsaturated fats. South Beach is a classic example, and similar diets have come on the market in recent years.

I recommend The Diet Solution to many people. Click here to find out more about this great program.
