The Ultimate Weight Loss Plan from Freelife

Freelife's Ultimate Weight Loss Plan. Simply follow these Seven Success Tips.

1. Avoid all refined carbohydrates

This is a critical tip for you to follow. Avoid refined carbohydrates, which include all products such as white breads, cakes, cookies, white rice, and pasta. Avoid all refined sugar products including sodas, ice cream, corn syrup, molasses, honey and beer. You should also avoid starchy, high-carbohydrate vegetables such as potatoes, corn, beets, and carrots. These foods raise your blood sugar levels rapidly, which can cause weight gain.

2. Eat natural, fresh, unprocessed foods

Increase lots of fresh, unprocessed foods in your diet, and stay away from processed foods. Each step of processing causes a food to produce higher glucose levels. Typically, processed foods have added sugars, carbohydrates, and chemical additives. The fiber content is also lower, which causes the sugar and carbohydrates to have a greater negative impact on your glucose levels.

3. Exercise

Exercise has a balancing effect on your blood sugar and insulin levels. It helps to decrease your body fat and cholesterol and increases your energy level. Even if you don't have a regular exercise routine, you can incorporate exercise as part of your lifestyle. Walk to the store, walk up that flight of stairs, and mow your lawn. Studies have shown that these mini-exercise sessions have a beneficial effect on weight loss.

4. Drink water

Many of us are actually dehydrated. This is why it's important for you to drink a minimum of eight to ten glasses of pure water daily. Adequate water intake helps in the weight loss process; rids your bloodstream of excess fat which can help reduce your cholesterol levels; and keeps you regular. Two to three glasses of Fired Up! Is a great-tasting way to increase your water intake and give your body the appetite-reducing energy boost you need every day!

5. Take a multivitamin supplement

Take an all-natural vitamin/mineral supplement rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients. Taken with food, a complete, all-natural multivitamin helps increase your energy and supports your immune system. (You will not find a better supplement than Basic Mindell Plus!)

6. Eat protein at every meal and snack

Protein stimulates glucagon, a hormone secreted by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar and allows your body to burn stored fat. When you eat protein along with carbohydrates it helps balance your blood sugar. Drinking one or two Carbs Away Shakes every day as a snack or meal replacement is a delicious way to add the most absorbable form of protein to your diet!

7. Learn how your body reacts

Take responsibility for knowing about what food you put into your body and then how your body reacts. Choose foods that make you feel good over the long run. If you are achieving your weight and health goals, your carbohydrate consumption must be close to optimum. If you are not, adjust downward the amount of sugars, grains, starchy vegetables, and sweet fruit you are eating.

The Truth About Weight Loss Diets, Exercise and Losing Fat.
Let’s discuss weight loss and diets a little bit here. We (my wife Shirley and I) have been marketing nutrition products for over 10 years now. We have literally serviced thousands of satisfied customers during that time. Some even take the time to send us back a note of thanks like the following two:

But hey let’s get back to weight loss and what we have seen that works. Of course we avoid the weight loss drugs, we do not recommend them as they can be dangerous, however I suppose in some extreme cases with certain obese people the benefits may outweigh the bad side effects.

We (my wife and I) are like observers in a sense, but we have also studied many articles and journals concerning weight loss. This is our frank opinion based on results we have seen with people taking various weight loss products. We do not have millions of dollars at stake so we can afford to be upfront and open with you. It's hard for companies to be totally objective with millions of dollars at stake.

Here is where we believe the majority of people go wrong when trying to lose weight.

They don’t take in enough protein on whatever diet they are on so in effect they are causing their bodies to instead of burning fat to burning lean muscle.

In effect lean muscle burns at rest about 17 times more calories per day than the same amount of fat. The amount of muscle you have greatly determines your metabolism and how many calories your body burns each day. This is why people when they come off their diet and start eating again they can put the weight right back on again as their body is now naturally burning less calories than before. In effect they have slowed down their metabolism. This is especially true it seems of women who have less natural muscle mass than men.

This is really why the Atkins diet is so effective. It cuts out a lot of the carbohydrates, which because people often eat too many of them cause weight gain. And by eating the protein it is making sure that you don’t lose any muscle and may even gain some additional muscle mass.

The other major factor why people don’t lose weight are lack of exercise and to a lesser degree the wrong types of exercise. For example a brisk walk can cause your body to go into the fat burning state called ketosis better than running.

We earlier discussed how important muscle mass was in maintaining a healthy weight. This is why light resistance exercises (weight training) is so effective in losing weight because it help you add muscle mass. This doesn’t have to be massive amounts of weight, any light resistance amounts of weight can be effective at adding muscle.

This is why men and women who participate even in light resistance exercises 2-3 times a week for 15-20 minutes almost always lose weight when they combine this with their weight loss program. This has been our observation over the last 10 years or so.

So to sum it up, you want to lose weight the formula is simple, following it is much more difficult.

Cut your excess carbs, eat more protein and so moderate exercise like walking and light resistance exercises like weights. Do this and control what you eat and you will lose weight.

Now there are a number of weight loss products on the market that can help facilitate your weight loss, but unless you are willing to do what we just mentioned, you will not achieve your total weight loss goal.

This is not to say particular products aren’t effective as they may prevent you from adding additional pounds or even help you lose a few pounds.

Also is the issue of carbs, we are not idiots here, we realize carbohydrates are used for energy. However, the bottom line is most people consume much more carbohydrates then thy need on a daily basis and the excess gets converted to fat. You know the story.

As far as most weight loss products, most people have varying opinions. Here is the issue, most of the reputable weight loss products work to a certain degree. The problem is most people look at them as miracle workers, which will allow them to continue to eat way too much (this is kinder than eat like a pig), not exercise and expect to lose weight on the product. So at the end of 30 or 60 days they weight or measure themselves and think that product sucked, I didn’t lose anything. Meanwhile they forget their lifestyle over that period.

This is why recording eating habits in a journal is so effective and why it is recommended.

With this mind there are a couple weight loss products we do recommend. I mean we all need a helping hand. These products are like assistants, they will not work on their own. But with your commitment to eating better and exercise they will make it much easier.

TAIslim (weight loss) is a good product with a number of weight loss testimonies behind it. Besides blocking carbs it is a fat burner and helps with cravings.
