8 weightloss/Fitness Myths

http://body.aol.com/fitness/myths-debunked


One thing I always try and stress is Zylene and the better health collection by themselves will help. You will fell more energy, start losing weight and your overall health will improve, but to reach your optimal level working out and diet are very important. Here are some myths people believe but are not always true.

Myth #1: Stretching is Essential

Research shows that stretching before exercise actually increases your chance of getting injured and may decrease your workout performance. According to Wyche, the best way to prepare your body for physical activity is with a three to five minute warm-up of easy walking, light cycling or gentle movement.

Myth #2: Muscle Turns into Fat or vice versa

"Fat and muscle are two totally separate types of tissue. They aren't interchangeable," says Wyche. People get fat when they stop working out because they continue to eat the same amount but burn off fewer calories. As a result, their unused muscles grow soft while they simultaneously gain excess body fat.

Myth #3: Stay Skinny with Diet alone

You can lose weight simply by cutting back on calories. But combining exercise with diet will help you lose weight more quickly. More importantly, it will help you keep the pounds off permanently. The majority of participants in the National Weight Control Registry (a survey of thousands of people who have lost a significant amount of weight and kept it off for years) report that a consistent exercise program is one of their key weight maintenance strategies.

Myth #4: Long and slow to zap fat

Wyche claims that the so-called "fat burning zone" is about as real as 'The Twilight Zone.' "The workout that burns as many calories as possible, whether it's long and slow or fast and furious, is the best workout for fat burning and weight loss," she advises.

Myth #5: Lose before lifting

Actually, if you're truly serious about losing weight, lifting weights two to three times a week is a must. "Building muscle helps maintain your metabolism even while you're resting and will help you slim down," Wyche notes. When you combine diet with cardio exercise only, you tend to lose a lot of muscle mass; weight training helps preserve muscle so more of your weight loss is truly from fat.

Myth #6: High Reps rule

Choose a weight you can lift at least eight times keeping good form but no more than 15 times without your muscle feeling the challenge. If you can do more reps than that, the weight you're using isn't heavy enough to give you results. And, as Wyche points out, decreasing body fat will help you see the shape of the muscles underneath.

Myth #7: Crunch away ab flab

There's no such thing as spot reducing -- that is, you can't magically zap the fat from an area by exercising it. Wyche says that you could do 5,000 crunches a day and still not see any improvements until you burn the layer of fat over your ab muscles, which is done by trimming your diet and burning more calories through cardio exercise.

Myth #8: Beef up to gain muscle


"The body uses protein, carbs and fat to build muscle," Wyche notes. Any excess protein you eat beyond what your body needs will simply be expelled through your urine or stored as body fat. Your best bet is to eat a balanced diet that includes a variety of vitamins and minerals and enough calories to build strong, shapely muscles.

Lose 10 lbs in 6 Weeks ...

Lose in 6 weeks replacing Coffee with GREEN TEA

In late 2004, an episode featuring Dr Nigel Perricone aired on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Mr Perricone has written a number of books including the Perricone Prescription, that relate to diet and health (the main premise of his diet is improving skin condition).
Dr Perricone said some interesting things about green tea, which has inspired some aggressive marketing.

Here is the original transcript from the Oprah show:
Oprah: Now I've read in your book that you said if I just replaced coffee with green tea instead, that I could lose 10 pounds in six weeks.

Dr. Perricone: Absolutely.

Oprah: Now really. How could that -- what is the big deal about this?

Dr Perricone: Coffee has organic acids that raise your blood sugar, raise insulin. Insulin puts a lock on body fat. When you switch over to green tea, you get your caffeine, you're all set, but you will drop your insulin levels and body fat will fall very rapidly. So 10 pounds in six weeks, I will guarantee it.

Oprah: I'm gonna do that. OK. That is so good! Whoo! That is great.


Zylene contains green tea and that is one of the great antioxidents that helps with weight loss and your overall health.

Green Tea:
contains catechins, which are known to possess potent antioxidant activity. They may provide beneficial health effects by protecting the body from the damaging effects of oxidative damage from free radicals. The powerful antioxidant activity is about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E. A number of chronic disease states have been associated with free radical induced oxidative damage, including cancer, heart disease, and suppressed immune function and accelerated aging.

Wednesday January 30th 2008 - 79lbs lost

Hello Everyone, sorry I have not been updating as ofter, I will try and update atleast a few days a week. Today was my weigh day and needless to say I was once again very pleased with my weight. I now weigh 247, so I have lost 11 more lbs since my last weigh in day and am down 79lbs overall from my original 326. Which is 79 in roughly 120 days.

I feel great have more energy than ever and still have no hunger urges or cravings for junk foods. Some people say that a dietary supplement cannot do everything I say its doing, however its a huge help and when you see the weight coming off like I am it makes avoiding junk food and eating healthy so much easier. Not only that but it keeps me motivated to stay active and keep on going until I reach my goal weight.

I am completely satisfied with my weight loss to date and also I love that since October 1st i havent been sick once. The zylene keeps me energized and not feeling hungry while the multi mineral and multi nutrient help provide me with the necessary vitamins and minerals to keep my body healthy. Zylene, Nutravex and Biozyte are a great team that when used together have helped give me results I never thought possible.

I still have a long way to go but my success so far fills me with great pride and sense of accomplishment. I used to play basketball 3 or 4 times a week and up until I started getting my life back together I pretty much gave up on that. In another month I will probably be able to start playing basketball and I have already started to be able to run around with my son and enjoy life more.

For all of you who have already started your quest for a better life keep it up, and all of you others remember its never to late to start we will be here to help you with support and advice.
