All About Health, Fitness and Weight Loss

     Health and fitness is a recurring struggle for many of us and at times, it is also a major frustration.  What we need to understand, before engaging in a full-time health and fitness plan, is that there are no short term solutions.  And to succeed, we need to focus, be committed, and stay motivated -- and we need to keep all those in check even after we've reached our goals so we can enjoy being healthy and fit permanently.  

     Getting the body we want is a tough task (I think this is an understatement).  But to put it simply, the keys to getting that hot bod we always wanted are just these two:

A.  Decide to eat right and healthy

     Eating right means feeding ourselves with the required nutrients so we accomplish the day's tasks as well as fuel ourselves to do exercises.  Eating right further means getting rid of food that our body don't need such as sodas and junk food.  Specially if we have weight issues, we should not eat more than what our body needs for the day and more importantly, we should incorporate food in our diet that has nutrients which can help us with our weight loss goals.  Some of Hollywood's weight loss success is attributed to some dieting programs that's been proven to produce results.

• Freshology - program focuses on lean meats, fresh fruits, seasonal vegetables, water and protein.  Calories are counted according to the client's needs.  Some celebrity fans of this program includes Sofia Vergara, Jennifer Lopez, and Hillary Duff.


• Sunfare - with consultation from diet counselors, the client can personalize their meals and snacks which follows the 30/40/30 formula:  30% lean protein, 40% whole wheat, low carb or fresh low-glycemic carbohyrdrates, and 30% healthy fat.  Celebrity fans of this program includes Robert Pattinson, Eva Longoria, and Britney Spears.


• 7-Day Eliminating Detox - this diet style is extremely criticized where one lives for a week with nothing but fruits and vegetable juices.  Gwyneth Paltrow developed a diet program of this principle and posted on her website GOOP her 7-day journey and the recipes which helped her achieve her weight goals.  She says that what she developed called the Master Cleanse can be extremely dangerous to the liver that's why before undergoing a detox, you need to consult with your doctor.  And drink a lot of water.

B.  Choose a fitness program and do it

     Choosing the correct fitness program is something we need to plan with our fitness instructor.  The professionals can determine what type of workout we need for the kind of body we have, of course taking in consideration our fitness goals and our present health status.  We have to engage in a workout program that will fit our needs, our resources and needless to say, a program which we like and enjoy.  If we enjoy what we do, then it will be easier to commit to the program and sustain it.  The Internet is also full of tutorials which can help us determine the  fitness plan on our own.  And while following the workout regime, let's not forget to energize and fuel our body with proper food and nutrients for maximum results.  Janet Jackson, on her book True You, admitted that she loses weight effectively only when she complements her rigorous workout with a healthy diet.  That goes without saying that eating right and the right fitness program goes together so we can achieve our health and fitness goals.

     What I said on the opening paragraph, we hear that a lot from people. Many get to point when they've finally decided to do something with their being unhealthy, and then it stops there -- they never went on to get what they want.  Guys, being healthy and fit is a choice, it needs an overall lifestyle change, our commitment to a chosen program  and a great deal of discipline.  And most importantly, it needs to find a reason -- because that reason will motivate us to keep going.
