Many people fail to maintain their fat loss program simply because their efforts are overwhelmed by hunger and they have no idea how to suppress appetite! Before we focus on activity or cravings, we need to make sure that you know how to suppress appetite when you feel those nasty pangs. How to Suppress Appetite – 6 Steps to Managing Hunger Pangs Step 1: Stick to a Schedule – By developing an eating schedule you can train the body when to be hungry. Step 2: Get Non-Starchy Fiber With EVERY Meal – We are designed to get our fiber from non-starchy sources such as fruits and vegetables, not grains. Step 3: Eat Plenty of Hunger-Eradicating Protein – Protein is the most important macronutrient to suppress your appetite. If you want to know how to suppress appetite, then consuming protein with each meal is one of the most important steps. Step 4: Choose Low-Glycemic, Non-Grain Carbohydrates – Eat carbohydrates, but choose non-grain, low-glycemic sources. Step 5: Prioritize High-Volume Foods – High volume foods are foods that provide plenty of food but are naturally low in calories. Spinach is a great example, containing just 7 calories per cup, compared to flour, which contains almost 500 calories per cup. Step 6: Use Protein Shakes to Fill the Gaps – Protein shakes are a convenient and fast way to provide nutrition to the body and curb your appetite. Once you understand how to suppress appetite by following the 6 steps provided in this podcast, you should know how to curb your appetite without the need for dangerous appetite suppressants. For more information on how to suppress appetite, be sure to listen to the podcast and take notes! If you haven’t yet subscribed to our free podcast, please do, and don’t forget to leave a review!

Practically every experienced dieter has been on a high-protein, low-carb diet at some point in their life and many different diet programs are simply variations on this philosophy of eating. The High-Protein, Low-Carb Diet Gets a Name Although the high-protein, low-carb diet has been around for decades, Dr. Atkins, author of The Atkins Diet series of books, was the one to make this style of eating mainstream. In fact, most people who are following this philosophy of eating will often call their high-protein, low-carb diet an “Atkins Diet”. In this podcast, we will use the Atkins diet as an ambassador for the high-protein, low-carb diet philosophy as we go through the phases of his program and discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly associated with this program. The Reason Why the High-Protein, Low-Carb Diet Works Insulin is a hormone produced by our pancreas that causes our body to store calories as fat. As long as insulin is elevated, fat loss is difficult, if not impossible. Although both proteins and carbohydrates can cause your insulin levels to elevate, carbohydrates cause the largest elevations in this fat storing hormone. The purpose of high-protein, low-carb diets is to control insulin production in such a way that promotes fat loss while inhibiting appetite. For a simple rule on how to determine what foods are considered a carbohydrate, see our article Carbohydrates – A Quick Guide. In this podcast, we will give a detailed critique of the high-protein, low-carb diet in order to help you dig out the golden-nuggets that you can apply to your life.

In today’s podcast we accidentally cover this topic after we began discussing a question that Dr. Ray posted on Facebook. The question was… “There are 2 people who are barriers to your healthy lifestyle…The first person is “You”…who is the 2nd person and why? (You must answer, you can not say that “I am the only person responsible”…is it your spouse, your kids, your boss, “the man”, your lazy dog, your school, society as a whole? You must answer…” The purpose of this question was not to turn us into people who blame others for our problems but to help us uncover our secret barriers to weight loss. As we force ourselves to answer this question, the real barriers to weight loss begin to materialize before our eyes. Once we recognize them, we can begin the work of accepting their existence and then devise systems and plans for eradicating or working around them. Don’t Ignore Barriers to Weight Loss We live in a society that wants us to pretend that life is not difficult and that barriers do not exist if we think positive thoughts. Sometimes we have to accept the fact that life is sometimes complicated by barriers and obstacles. Devise Systems to Circumvent Barriers to Weight Loss Once we acknowledge our obstacles, the next step is to conspire against them by building systems within our lives to go around or over the walls. All too often barriers to weight loss lead to weight loss resistance, we look forward to bringing more tips and trick in future podcasts!

In fact, I would feel confident in saying that no weight loss attempt will enjoy long-term success if exercise is not a major part of the program. So why do 50% of the people who start an exercise program give up within 6 months of starting and how do we maintain our workout motivation? In today’s podcast, we will tackle the issue of how to motivate yourself to exercise, and equally important, how to find the workout motivation to virtually guarantee that you will never quit your exercise program… Why do we lose our workout motivation?

Should we eat before exercise to provide the energy needed to get a good workout? Those on the "exercise while fasted" side of the argument suggest that exercising while fasted allows you to burn fat as soon as you start exercising.

To be clear, she was not working to decrease her weight to 1,000 pounds, she is attempting to gain enough weight to grace the pages of The Guinness Book of World Records as “The fattest Woman in the world”.

Their father, mother and siblings may all be overweight and thus it is logical to believe that their weight is predetermined. In today’s podcast, we will answer a number of questions… Do fat genes exist? If so, is it possible to fight these evil little genes? Is obesity caused by genetics? Genetics are not the stone slate of physical certainty that we once thought. It turns out that genes offer us many different potential outcomes through a process called epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of how your environment turns genes on or off. That’s right, each gene has an on or off switch, even the fat genes. This means that your day-to-day choices determine whether your fat genes are activated or sitting idly by doing nothing… There is plenty of published scientific proof that genetic expression can be molded by lifestyle, however, let me tell you about a recent British study. Researchers tested the genetics of over 20,000 people and gave them each an “obesity susceptibility score” based on their results. They then analyzed work and exercise activity for each of the participants. Based on the results of their analysis, they determined that the people who incorporated at least 1 hour of physical activity had a 40% lower risk of becoming obese compared to people with the same genetic potential but less physical activity. This finding is pretty amazing given the fact that the researchers only analyzed one component of health and fitness. What if we took those same participants and taught them how to exercise for fat loss and how to eat for improved health and improved blood sugar control? I imagine that we would be blown away by the results of such a study. So, what are the takeaways from today’s episode? I don’t care if you are genetically programmed for fat storage; you can make a major improvement in your health and body through your actions Exercise & activity are hugely important for health and for weight loss. The benefits go well beyond simple caloric expenditure, they literally change your genes. Genetic activation is a temporary process. They can be switched off as quickly as they were switched on and they can be switched on as quickly as they can be switched off. This is why consistency is so important. Believe in yourself and back that belief by clear and consistent action.

After all, it does make sense, burn more calories than you consume and you will lose fat. I have a question, “How is that working out for us?” You may have heard that the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” Well, isn’t that what we are doing when we run the treadmill every day only to see the scale remain stagnant and the pants equally tight around the waist? But we keep trucking along, don’t we? We keep running the treadmill and stepping on the scale.

Well, admittedly this crystal ball does not exist; there is, however, a series of ten questions that will determine your readiness and thus your likelihood of success with any exercise program. These questions were pioneered by a martial arts master named Master George Chung in his weight loss program, Strong Mind, Fit Body. Unfortunately, this program is no longer published. The interesting thing about questions is the fact that they infer that you have a choice. Where there is a choice, there is an ability to make a change for your life. All that you have to do is choose a different path. As you go through each question, look deep into the heart of the question see the lesson that each question teaches you about becoming a successful exerciser. So, what are these magic questions? 1.     Have you had it with your current state of health and/or weight? One characteristic of people who make a permanent change with exercise and weight loss is they are completely fed up with their state of health. It all comes down to how sick you are of being overweight or unhealthy. Here is the fascinating thing about how you answer this question; the BEST answers are the WORST answers!  This means the worse you feel about your state of health, the higher your chances of success. There is one more ingredient to this recipe, it’s not enough to be disgusted with your current state of health; you must also be ready for change. If you’re sick and tired and ready for change then you are on your way. 2.     Do you understand the benefits of exercise? If I could encapsulate and bottle the benefits of exercise, I would be very rich. As a pharmacist and personal trainer, I can tell you that exercise is far more beneficial for the heart, brain, bones and immune system than medicine’s most powerful drugs. Exercise will help you feel more energetic, more focused, more confident and more powerful. You will enjoy a longer life full of more adventure and experience, and best of all, when you are a buff 110 years old, you will still be able to remember it all because your brain will still be functioning! 3.     Do you know what you are doing when it comes to exercise? Successful exercisers know how to exercise. I know that this sounds like common sense, but you would be surprised how few people have actually taken the time to learn proper technique. The people who do not take the time to learn proper technique end up with two possible fates; either they injure themselves and can’t exercise anymore or they give up because every exercise session is a  practice in self-doubt which lowers self-confidence. If you do not feel complete confidence in your ability to exercise safely and effectively, take the time to learn, it will serve you for a lifetime. 4.     Do you believe that you can be fit and healthy? Many people have failed to achieve their desired level of health and fitness many times in their lives; this regular exposure to perceived failure gives you a deep, sinking feeling that failure is imminent. Interestingly, this is not the case in the beginning of a weight loss program, because new diets or new programs are almost always filled with hope, but eventually the feelings of self-doubt creep in again and soon it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Successful exercisers know that their actions are resulting in improvements in health and fitness, they KNOW IT! 5.     Do you have a long term perspective? People who are successful at weight loss are those who have what I call a “trickle philosophy”. They believe that weight loss happens slowly and expect ½ to 2 pounds of weight loss a week. People who are not successful are always looking for the short term unrealistic results. 6.     Are you able to set goals and immediately take steps to achieve those goals? Successful exercisers set realistic and attain[...] Podcasts CuttheFatPodcast.com Weight Loss no no http://cutthefatpodcast.com/587/fat-loss-podcasts/episode-11-17-reasons-that-you-are-not-losing-weight http://cutthefatpodcast.com/587/fat-loss-podcasts/episode-11-17-reasons-that-you-are-not-losing-weight#comments Tue, 09 Feb 2010 04:22:06 +0000 Dr. Ray http://cutthefatpodcast.com/?p=587 http://cutthefatpodcast.com/587/fat-loss-podcasts/episode-11-17-reasons-that-you-are-not-losing-weight/feed 4 0:51:30 Recently I read a blog post on Marksdailyapple.com which discussed 17 reasons why people are not losing weight and I felt it would be a great topic for us to discuss on our podcast.

These methods, although effective for a time, are difficult to maintain for a lifetime.[...] Most of the weight loss literature discusses how to consciously take control of your eating by counting calories, keeping a food diary or weighing out your food. These methods, although effective for a time, are difficult to maintain for a lifetime. What if there were a better way, a way that uses the power of your strong subconscious mind rather than your weak conscious mind. On our weight loss podcast and blog, we have discussed many of the principles around consciously changing your diet and lifestyle for weight loss purposes. In today’s article and podcast, we will discuss methods of using your subconscious mind to achieve your weight loss goals. Mindful eating involves being present when you eat; paying attention to the taste, texture and flavors within the food. By using the principle of mindful eating, you allow your brain time to register the food. Mindless eating is a scientific approach to tricking your brain into eating less. Mindless eating principles are based on the scientific fact that your satiety is determined more by your environment than your hunger signals. By using a number of scientifically validated techniques, you can literally trick the brain into decreasing calories without feeling deprived. Some of these principles include: 1. Using plates that are 10-20% smaller than your usual plates. The brain feels obligated to eat everything that is on your plate. By decreasing the size of the plate, you can trick the brain into feeling satisfied with less food. 2. Start the meal by throwing out 15-25% of the meal. This works on the same principle as described above. If you throw it out, you no longer have to consciously ask yourself if you have had enough. 3. Leave the uneaten food on the table. When your brain is able to see the remains of your eating, it is able to gauge the quantity that you have already eating. Although mindful eating and mindless eating are both very powerful; by putting these two principles together you can dramatically change your lifestyle and eating habits without feeling deprived! This is a very powerful way to consume less without feeling deprived.

This law states that if you eat more calories than you burn then you will gain weight; if you eat fewer calories than you burn then you will lose weight. in other words, this law states that calories are everything! We start off by debunking this “law” because it is the foundation of which most diets are built upon. You will hear many people say, “it’s all about calories!” Now, you will be able to argue the contrary. In the second part of this episode, we discuss metabolism and some ways to boost it to promote weight loss.
