How to Lose Weight Quick

Ok I am one of those people who hates to diet! So when I need to lose weight quickly for a vacation or a wedding coming up, I have done what is called the mayo clinic diet. It is a very simple diet. No carbs except the 8oz of (not from concentrate) grapefruit juice you drink after breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the am you eat eggs cheese bacon, all you want. Then 8oz of the grapefruit juice. Lunch, salad with meat cheese and all the dressing you want again the 8oz of juice. Dinner veggies and meat followed by the juice. It will shred the weight off of you but there is no cheating on this diet! Google mayo clinic diet for more details and good luck!!

Apple or pear: Which one are you?


Well guess what? this doesn’t matter anymore!  comparing womens bodies this way turns out to be an

unfruitful predictor of heart risk, researchers have recently reviewed 58 studies representing over

220,000 people  contrary to the belief that if your carrying extra tummy pudge is worse than having

hefty hips, they found that all excess fat wherever its deposited is dangerous.  in fact the analysis which

linked specific risk factors to future cardiovascular health, body-shape measures, such as waist circumference

and waist-to-hip ratio, were relatively poor forecasters, but obestity itself did matter.  it can set you up

for some of the leading risk factors, such as high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol and diabetes!  the

good news for apple and pears, being overweight is something one can change, with good healty diet and

good excerise routein. here are some fat burning mistakes that women generally make:



Mistake 1 Skipping Breakfast and Not Eating Protein in the Morning
Do not skip breakfast thinking you'll save calories or you are too busy. The worst reason for skipping breakfast is that you are not hungry. You are looking at maximum fat loss, improving your energy, health and quality of life here. You have to eat food to stimulate your metabolic rate. Plus, protein is necessary for hormonal balance and maintaining balanced blood chemistry. Protein will keep your muscles full and tight, instead of stringy and saggy.
You need a paradigm shift. You need to put your physical body first. Skipping breakfast triggers ravenous hunger later in the day and slows down your metabolism. A study in the Journal of Obesity Research shows that eating breakfast, which contains equal protein to lowglycemic wholegrain carbohydrate ratios every single day is a key strategy among people who average  60 pound weight loss and have kept it off for six years. 

Mistake 2 Starving Yourself
Slashing too many calories too fast hoping to lose more fat is a total mistake unless you are eating 4,500+ calories like a male bodybuilder who eats to grow. Cutting your calories down to a starving rate; under 1,000, pushes the body to conserve fat rather than burn it.
It literally shuts down your metabolism, which is your body's natural primary calorie and fatburning system. In many cases it forces your body to use healthy muscle tissue for survival fuel.
Work on eating four mini balanced meals a day to keep your metabolism fired up and your energy constant. You will see greater results faster this way, plus you will have healthier digestion that is crucial for fat loss. Get that food in and keep it moving out! Don’t let it settle in your colon creating bloating, parasites and poor weight loss results
.  remember key to fat loss is consume your daily if not just a little more of your calories, remember this allows your body to shift to metabolic.  metabolic = fat loss. and fat loss = healthy life style!

Renting vs. Buying

CALLING ALL RENTERS. Tired of paying out money every month with nothing to show for it. Maybe you should consider that now is the perfect time to buy a home. Why you ask. Home prices and interest rates are at a record low. Depressed home prices have created great buying opportunities.

There are many advantages to home ownership. These are just a few of them.

1. Tax deductions - Did you know that you can deduct mortgage interest payments and property tax payments from your taxes.
 
2. Building Equity - Buying a home lets you build equity over the years you own your home.

Let’s look at what you can save just by purchasing a home. Average purchase price of home at $100,000 and interest of 4.5% over a 30 year period with your down payment . Your monthly payment would be $488.95. If you are renting doesn’t this sound good. Get off the fence and give me a call. I’m waiting to hear from you.
