Chances are that your attitude to weight-loss success is focused entirely on dropping the pounds until you reach your ultimate goal. After all, by setting a concrete goal and working until you achieve it, you’ll be much more successful than not having a weight-loss goal at all – right?

Actually, many health and fitness experts believe that it’s this kind of attitude that can set you up for overall failure, since many people tend to cease their healthy habits once they’ve reached their ultimate weight-loss goal. However, this attitude is hazardous to your health – and your waistline! – since these healthy habits are crucial to not just losing the weight, but keeping it off permanently. Therefore, by telling yourself that once you reach a certain weight you’ll be able to have pizza in your diet again, you’ve just committed once of the most fatal errors against weight-loss success.

However, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have an overall weight-loss goal to begin with – rather, it shouldn’t be the ultimate goal. Instead, the right attitude for weight-loss success should be that dieting and fitness is an ongoing journey, not a means to an end. This way, your weight-loss journey transforms into a healthy lifestyle that has no final destination, so you’ll be far more likely to keep off those pounds for good rather than becoming a dreaded yo-yo dieter.

It helps to have some weight-loss goals that can’t be measured by a scale. For example, set other goals that you can attain regardless of whether or not you reach that desired weight. Do you want to be able to run a mile without stopping? Want to ride your bike in a statewide marathon? These kinds of goals will keep you from viewing that final weight as the ultimate goal – and that’s the right attitude for weight-loss success!

Let’s say you set a goal for yourself to lose 20 pounds within six months. Well, the six month marker has arrived, and you did it! However, if those 20 pounds were just a milestone towards a bigger goal, you’ll want to learn how to keep up that weight-loss momentum so you can slim down and get that healthy lifestyle you’ve always longed for!

Develop Independent Feedback. Yes, getting all of those compliments about how good you look will certainly provide you with fuel to diet and exercise, but if you really want to maintain your weight-loss momentum, you need to develop your own independent feedback. Give yourself a pat on the back each morning for being so successful, even when you’ve gained a pound. The more encouraging you are to yourself, the more likely it is that you’ll keep up that weight-loss momentum.

Never Reach Your Destination. You might be asking yourself: “Aren’t you supposed to have a final weight-loss goal”? However, many people make the mistake of stopping their health and fitness regimen once they drop the pounds, only to gain them all back all over again! Instead of looking at a single number as your ultimate goal, make weight-loss, or weight management, a continuing project to feel happy and healthy. That way you’ll maintain your health and fitness regimen for life rather than for a couple of months.

Persistence Is Key. Of course, there are going to be days when you’d rather stay in bed than go out for that early morning run. This is where persistence is key! If you’re not the self-motivating type, work out with a buddy who will hold you accountable for what you do. You’ll be less likely to stay in bed if you know that someone’s waiting for you – and it’s a great way to keep up that weight-loss momentum!

It seems as though the holiday season brings out the social butterfly in everyone – but between the holiday parties, family trips, and cocktail hours, there are plenty of weight-loss danger zones that can trip up even the most enthusiastic dieter. Want to stay on track while still enjoying the perks of the Holiday season? Here’s how to handle weight-loss danger zones this winter without sacrificing all of your hard work!

The key to staying on your weight-loss program while still enjoying the holidays is to plan ahead. If you’re going to be at an event where you know food will be, either fill up on water before the event (this will keep you feeling full and prevent you from overeating) or eat a light breakfast and lunch to give you plenty of calories left over for dinner. Additionally, put in a harder workout before and after your aunt’s infamous chili cook-off – you won’t see a single gain on the scale as a result of your careful planning.

Successful weight-loss doesn’t just involve eating carrots at the family holiday partying; in fact, the most successful dieters know that all foods can be enjoyed. The key is to enjoy them in moderation! If you want a slice of cake, then have a small slice of cake – just make smarter food choices beforehand and work off those extra calories once the party is over!

Of course, you’ll always have that friend or relative who’ll convince you to eat her famous triple-fudge brownie sundae – and this is when it’s so crucial to learn how to firmly but gently say no! Give the person a simple line, like: “thanks, but I’m absolutely stuffed! I’ll have a bite later though”. You’ll be able to avoid eating the diet-busting food without hurting anyone’s feelings.

So now that you know how to tackle the holiday season’s weight-loss danger zones, get out there and have some fun!

If you’ve been a yo-yo dieter for some time now, you might have given up on your weight-loss efforts. Perhaps you think that you’re not meant to lose the weight after all, or maybe you think that reaching your healthy weight goal is a life-long effort. Whatever you think, it’s time to put those negative thoughts aside, because you’ve got an advantage over other people who’ve never attempted to lose weight before…

…you’ve got experience on your side.

Sure, you can look at that experience like you “failed” at losing the weight, but you’re missing out on the opportunity to learn from your previous weight –loss efforts. Each time you try to lose weight, you engage in a new behavior that will either work, or it won’t. The key is to remember what did and didn’t work for you, so you can modify your behavior for your new weight-loss efforts, which will lead you down the path towards a slim body and a healthy lifestyle.

Additionally, many people who go into their weight-loss journey without preparing beforehand aren’t as equipped as you are to handle the obstacles – but you’re lucky, since you’ve seen them all before. Instead of fearing these obstacles, use your previous weight-loss efforts to identify what not to do next time you encounter an obstacles. For example, did you have a hard time saying “no” to a craving, and ended up binging instead? This time, don’t have that guilty pleasure food lying around to throw you off track. Since you already know how seemingly “small” mistakes can throw you off track, you won’t fool yourself into thinking that a day of binging won’t have an effect on your weight-loss.

So don’t think of your previous weight-loss efforts as failures – instead, they’re simply learning experiences that will set you up for your inevitable success!

If you need some additional help losing weight – especially if you’re significantly overweight – then enzyme therapy could provide the boost that you need to drop the pounds and achieve that healthy lifestyle and slim body. Enzyme therapy – which is also used to treat diseases and other conditions – speeds up the digestive system in the body and breaks down toxins. In short, enzymes give your body the jolt it needs to drop the pounds once and for all.

Since enzymes can be found naturally in the body, taking enzyme supplements come with no risk. The human body produces almost 10,000 various enzymes in order to aid metabolism. As we age our enzyme activity decreases which often leads to weight gain as a result of a sluggish metabolism. It makes sense that taking enzyme supplements not only aid your body to clean out toxins, but to also give your metabolism the boost it needs to burn fat quickly, leading to the slim body that you’ve always longed for.

However, before you can begin an enzyme therapy to aid in weight-loss, it’s important to research the manufacturer of the enzyme supplements that you’re considering by looking at customer reviews who has used the product before. Results are the key here. Many of the enzyme supplements in the market today have been found to have fillers in their capsules. Therefore it is important that you go with a trusted brand in the market place. You don’t want to waste your money on an enzyme supplement that is not going to give your body the adequate “deposit” to its enzyme account.

If you have trouble losing weight, or if you just want to maintain a healthy lifestyle, enzyme therapy in my opinion has become a necessity to finally drop those stubborn pounds!

I’m going to be straightforward here. This is the one mistake that most people make that for some reason really bothers me. Here it is:

Most people have a hard time spending money on their health, but don’t have any problem spending money at Dunkin Donuts buying a coffee and a bagel for example. It’s crazy to me. This is just an example of how backwards we are as a society. We complain about our weight and health, we say we want to lose weight and get healthier, but we complain about how much it costs to spend on nutrition and at the same time we go spend money every foods and drinks that poison our bodies. This is called a walking contradiction. I’m not here to offend you, but if you are offended you should leave my blog right now. I am here to wake you up.

Another example: We complain that organic food costs too much money, but we do not realize that we spend so much more money on medicine, hospital costs, etc. Do you honestly think, especially in today’s economy, that health care is going to cover all your potential future hospital bills?

In my circle of influence everyone invests at least $200 per month on his or her nutrition. The question you may ask is “why would someone spend so much money on nutrition (really $200 per month is very little). Here’s why?

#1) they want to live a quality life. You can’t put a price tag on the most precious gift God has ever given us: the body.

#2) it will cost you more money to eat like most of us in America, than spending money on healthy food and nutritional supplementation. For example let’s say you go to your local health store and buy a meal replacement shake to replace your breakfast for $3. At the end of the month you would have spent $90 on meal replacement shakes for breakfast. What do most people do in America?

Most people head to their local Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, or fast food restaurant, buy a coffee and bagel or donut, or whatever the hell people eat nowadays, and spend way more than $3. If you go to Starbucks a scone will cost you about $1.50. On average someone will probably spend at least $5 on an unhealthy meal for breakfast. I’m not even talking about lunch here. We usually spend a little more on lunch.

So lets do the math. $5 per day on an unhealthy meal at the end of the month = $150 per month. Whereas $3 per day on that meal replacement shake at the end of the month = $90 per month. So in this scenario you save $60 going healthy.

#3) they understand that in today’s world whether you like it or not nutritional supplementation is not a luxury anymore. It’s not an option. It has now become a necessity. Some people say, “I’m going to eat all natural food”. I say good luck because that’s hard to find. You can go on a raw food diet, which I highly recommend, but you will need to supplement your daily vitamin and nutritional needs that your body requires.

You can be the healthiest person in the planet and eat the healthiest food, but at the end of the day, at most, you will only get about 30-40% of the daily nutritional intake your body requires.

Here’s the bottom line. Don’t be cheap on your future and your health. If you do not invest into your health it will cost you more money and more pain. Stay away from the fast food, the coffee and bagels. Do your research and find a good brand that you can get your monthly nutrition from, spend some of your grocery money on organic and raw foods as well. You will notice a huge difference in your body, in your energy, and in your life. I can’t begin to explain to you how great it feels to have the body you want, feel great, be confident, and hell…save money.

Fitness tips for baby boomers differ greatly than those used for fitness followers a few decades younger.  In your twenties and thirties, you might have been able to do more strenuous activities, like kayaking down rapids, heavy weight lifting or taking weekend hiking trips – and if you still can do that now, that’s great….keep doing it!  Besides, just a reminder and to quote an old saying:  “Age is nothing but a number.”

However, your fitness needs might have changed significantly over the past few decades, and it’s important to cater to these needs in order to drop those pounds and have successful workouts.  For example, you’ll need to be aware of any harsh impact on your joints, or spend more money on proper shoes so that you can work out for longer periods of time.  After all, the key to drop those pounds and achieve weight-loss success is to stay active – and you can’t do that when you’ve got a busted knee!

Here are more expert fitness tips for baby boomers:

• Always properly stretch before doing your workout.  Your muscles can injure more easily at this age, so stretching will ensure that your muscles stay loose and relaxed to avoid injuries.
• Properly cool down after each workout session.  Don’t be tempted to sit down after a twenty-minute jog or yoga session, since this will cause your muscles to cramp up and become vulnerable to injury.
• Fitness experts recommend that baby boomers fit in 20-40 minutes of cardio three to four times a week in order to stay strong and healthy.  If you can’t fit this much time into your schedule, go for ten minute walks after breakfast, lunch and dinner or walk more vigorously on the golf course.
• Don’t ever go past your comfort level in an attempt to drop those pounds.  Stay at a fitness level where you’re comfortable – your muscles and joints will thank you for it!

Tilapia has been known to be a great source of protein especially being that the calorie count per Tilapia is only around 100 calories, which is super low.  See how Tilapia can help you experience maximum weight-loss.  Also just an FYI- Farm raised Tilapia has been tested to have very low levels of mercury. From my research and experience, Tilapia is a good choice for protein and highly recommended.  Usually I do not recommend any farm raised fish at all becaue of the high levels of mercury.

When it comes to attaining maximum weight-loss, cardio is still one of the most popular go-to workouts around. Fitness experts view cardio as a kind of wonder-workout; how else can you blast fat, burn calories, improve your heart and cut your chances for disease in half? As if that wasn’t enough, cardio has mental and emotional benefits as well, which include reducing stress and triggering the release of endorphins, which are chemicals in our brains that aid us in feeling happy. If you have ever heard of the “runner’s high” then you’ll know what I am talking about.

If you want to get in on the cardio bandwagon for maximum weight-loss, don’t limit yourself to just running or walking. Cardio comes in all shapes and sizes, and can be a joyful workout experience if you find the right type for you. Want to know how to choose the kind of cardio that you can stick with? Read on:

1. Remember, a certain type of cardio isn’t what you’re aiming for; rather, you want to make sure that you reach your target heat rate zone in order to achieve weight-loss and great physical health. Ask your doctor or personal trainer what your ideal target heart rate zone should be;

2. Do something that you think is fun! Chances are if you aren’t crazy about your cardio regimen, you’re not going to stick with it. If you love to dance, join a dance class; if hiking is your thing, grab a friend and hike a popular trail in your hometown. That’s the great thing about cardio – you can do it anytime, anywhere and even for free;

3. Wear the proper footgear for your workout. Tennis shoes are inadequate for running, and you should never hike in flip flops. Correct foot attire will go a long way towards preventing any unnecessary injuries;

4. Switch up your routine a bit. No matter how hard you work out, your body with eventually plateau if you do the same routine over and over again – and that won’t help you achieve maximum weight-loss!
