<p>Excuses are the bane of the human existence.</p>
<p>We make them everyday to try to convince ourselves and those around us that we legitimately meant to go their niece&#8217;s birthday party, vacuum the carpet or get to work on time. In the end, we&#8217;re not fooling anyone, though. And, we&#8217;re really only hurting ourselves. If you think your excuses are working &#8212; you&#8217;re wrong. They aren&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Worst of all, we&#8217;ll make every excuse we can muster to get out of working out. We&#8217;ll lie to ourselves, to our trainers, even to our mothers if that gets us out of going to the gym.</p>
<p>But it doesn&#8217;t have to be that way. Making excuses for not working out is more stressful than just actually working out. Honestly. Have a look at these common excuses, why they&#8217;re just not true and what you can do to stop making them and start making good on your (so far) empty promises of getting healthier.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2697" title="stock-photo-businessman-hold-busy-sign-with-two-businesswoman-flirting-68452498" src="http://www.fitnesslines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/stock-photo-businessman-hold-busy-sign-with-two-businesswoman-flirting-68452498.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="320" /></p>
<p><strong><span id="more-2674"></span>1)      </strong><strong>I&#8217;m Dieting So I Don&#8217;t Need To Work Out: </strong>This excuse is astoundingly false. Diet and exercise work better hand in hand. Diets also aren&#8217;t really a great idea in the sense that going on a faddish new eating plan where you only consume wheatgrass and pinecones is totally not sustainable. If you&#8217;re dieting like this, stop. Instead, switch out the unhealthy foods in your life for healthier ones, and do so gradually. You&#8217;ll naturally develop a taste for healthier foods. Additionally, your workout might not be burning all the calories you think. An average person only burns about 100 calories a mile, meaning that the slice of cheesecake you ate is not negated by a 2 mile run. Exercise is still important, though, as dieting doesn’t improve your cardiovascular and muscular strength in the same way that a good old-fashioned workout does.</p>
<p><strong>2)      </strong><strong>I&#8217;m Too Busy: </strong>Life can sometimes feel like it&#8217;s all about fulfilling other people&#8217;s obligations. Working, volunteering, spending time with Grandma, buying a friend dinner &#8212; it all starts to add up. It&#8217;s easy to feel overwhelmed and skimp out on workouts. However, working out actually decreases your stress level and does your body a tremendous amount of good. You&#8217;re always doing things for other people, so why not take time out for yourself? Your health is important and you shouldn&#8217;t short change yourself.</p>
<p><strong>3)      </strong><strong>I&#8217;m Always Moving or Traveling: </strong>Staying fit on the go can be hard to do. But if you have time to plan trips, sell a house, buy a house, pack up, hire <a href="http://www.northamerican.com/">moving companies</a> and move or travel cross-country, you can at least spare a 30-minute cardio workout here and there. Take advantage of a quick run to see your new locale, interact with people, find your way around and see the sights first hand. Most hotels are equipped with a workout center, and if you&#8217;ve moved to a new city, a simple Yelp search or inquiry of a neighbor can point you in the right direction.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>4)      </strong><strong>I&#8217;m Not In Good Enough Shape To Workout: </strong>This excuse can seem valid for someone who has never exercised. You might see the people running marathons on TV and think, <em>&#8220;I can&#8217;t do that!&#8221;</em> And, while you probably can&#8217;t run a marathon right off the bat, there are still workouts that everyone can do. Starting off with lower intensity or low-impact workouts like walking, cycling at slow pace, water aerobics or using an elliptical trainer can help you start to get in shape. Any workout that helps you reach your target heart rate and maintain it is excellent for your cardiovascular strength!<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>So stop making your excuses and get out there! Don&#8217;t wait until the New Year; don&#8217;t wait until you find the right water bottle or the perfect pair of workout pants. In the words of Nike, just do it.</p>

<p>Weight loss specialists advocate slow, steady weight loss as opposed to crash dieting because it ensures proper nutritional balance. But good nutrition is important for your skin, too, and a proper balance of nutrients will help your skin regenerate more quickly. Aim to lose about 1 to 2 lbs. of fat each week. This will give your skin time to adapt to your new body and will allow you to keep a healthy balance of nutrients that will make your skin glow.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fitnesslines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/fitnesslines-healthy-weight-loss-skin-care.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2420" title="fitnesslines-healthy-weight-loss-skin-care" src="http://www.fitnesslines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/fitnesslines-healthy-weight-loss-skin-care.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-2418"></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #333399;"><em>When you follow an effective weight lose plan and diet solution program, you will definitely lose fat and gain healthy skin</em>.</span></p>
<p>This happens because when you feed the body with the right foods it is then able to perform all functions properly.</p>
<p>It was Dr. Linus Pauling, a Nobel Prize winner who stated “Every ailment, every sickness and every disease can be traced to a vitamin mineral deficiency”.<br />
That includes excess fat in the body and unhealthy skin.</p>
<p>Don’t buy into the claim that if you “Eat fewer calories and you will lose weight”. Because with fewer calorie diets you will damage your metabolism and never result in long term weight loss.</p>
<p>How about this claim “Eat Low Fat to Lose Fat”! Not so because the only way to lose fat is to be eating fat. But not any fat, it has to be the right fat so the body can break it down and flush out the bad fat.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #333399;"><em>Whether you are looking for a healthy diet plan that nourishes the body or healthy skinsational looking skin, follow these five suggestions for your answers.</em></span></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> An eating plan that nourishes the body with all the vitamins and minerals it needs to eliminate the fats naturally and regain your healthy looking skin.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> A plan with delicious foods for each meal;</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> A plan that you will want to adopt for a life time of healthy living;</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> A plan that supplies you with many recipes for all your meals; Recipes like scrambled whole eggs in butter with your favorite vegetables and 2 slices of sprouted grain toast. Or how about a juicy hamburger or steak for lunch or dinner and the list goes on. Foods that are tasty and good for you.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> A plan that tells you what combination of foods you should be eating to loss the fats.</p>
<p>One reason people lose weight is to feel more comfortable in their own skin. You want healthy, toned skin to improve your overall appearance and flaunt your new body. But many people experience problems with their skin&#8217;s elasticity and condition, especially following significant weight loss. Learn how to get your skin in shape during and after major weight loss.</p>
<p>Step 1</p>
<p>Gradually lose weight. Losing a lot of weight in a short period of time does not give the skin enough time to shrink. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends losing no more than two pounds per week.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong></p>
<p>Maintain the elasticity of your skin during weight loss. Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery says vitamin A, which is found in green leafy vegetables, whole milk and liver, can help maintain and repair skin. Fill your diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits to maximize your intake of vitamins and minerals.</p>

</div>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong></p>
<p>Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. The hydration level of the skin is one of the most important factors that influences skin elasticity, according to Plazan.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4</strong></p>
<p>Add strength and resistance exercises into your exercise regimen. Gaining muscle while you lose fat reduces the possibility of sagging skin. Muscle tissue is firmly planted on your bones. As the fat disappears underneath the skin, the skin starts to take the form of the muscle. If you do not build any muscle, the skin will start to sag because there is nothing for it to hold on to.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5</strong></p>
<p>Avoid smoking and drinking. Cigarette smoking causes biochemical changes in the body that accelerate aging, and as you age, your skin loses elasticity, according to Aging Skin Net. Abusing any substance will do more harm to your body and skin, so try to avoid these vices</p>

<p>water everywhere they go these days. In fact, it has become the second most popular drink (behind soft drinks). But water lovers got a jolt recently when we heard that a new report had found that the benefits of drinking water may have been oversold. Apparently, the old suggestion to drink eight glasses a day was nothing more than a guideline, not based on scientific evidence.The list of reasons our body needs water is as plentiful as the functions in our body, so due to space limitations, here are 10 good reasons to drink more water.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fitnesslines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/fitnesslines-water-benefits.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2459" title="Woman Drinking Water" src="http://www.fitnesslines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/fitnesslines-water-benefits.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" /></a><br />
<span id="more-2458"></span><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Our blood is over 80 percent water and needs water to make healthy new blood cells.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Our bones are over 50 percent water and, you guessed it, need water to make healthy new bone cells.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Drinking more water actually helps lessen pain in our body by getting our lymphatic system moving. The lymphatic system is a network of nodes, tubes, vessels, and fluid that move waste out of our tissues. It requires water to function properly.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Water helps to eliminate wastes and toxins from our body through the lymphatic system, kidneys, and intestines.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Water lubricates your joints and helps reduce joint pain and protect against wear and tear.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> Water regulates our metabolism so if our overweight chances are we may need more water.</p>
<p><strong>7.</strong> Water balances body temperature.</p>
<p><strong>8.</strong> Water helps to ensure adequate electrical functioning so your brain and nervous system function properly. Your brain and nervous system send out electrical signals to function properly. Researchers estimate that your brain gives off about the same amount of electricity as a 60 watt light bulb. So, there’s some truth to the image of a light bulb going on when someone has a good idea.</p>
<p><strong>9.</strong> Water alleviates dehydration (as already mentioned that most people are chronically dehydrated).</p>
<p><strong>10.</strong> Every cell and organ in our body requires adequate water to function properly.<br />
<strong>Helpful Tips for Drinking Water and Weight Loss</strong></p>
<p><strong>Measure your water intake.</strong> Even if you think you are drinking “a lot of water,” measure your daily intake for a while. You might be surprised how much water you are actually drinking. The only way I am able to keep track of my water intake is to use a quart jar. My daily quota is two quarts, so it has been much easier for me to keep track of two quarts of water (rather than eight 8-ounce glasses, for example). As soon as you become fully hydrated and have established a daily water drinking habit, you will not need to measure your daily intake. However, it’s always a good idea to check it once in a while, especially if you notice any dehydration symptoms</p>
<p><strong>Drinking before, during and after meals.</strong> To optimize nutrient absorption from food, drink 16 ounces of water 30 to 60 minutes before each meal. Avoid drinking any beverages (especially ice cold drinks) during meals. Cold drinks and sugary drinks will inhibit digestion. If anything, it is best to sip filtered water or warm herbal tea during meals. If you like coffee, try slimming green coffee in the morning for an all-natural metabolism booster. Wait at least 30 minutes after a meal to start drinking water again. Drink your remaining daily quota in between meals.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Try cold water between meals.</strong> Some studies indicates that water that is lower than body temperature will help with weight loss. According to the researchers, water that is cooled to about 70° F increases the rate at which calories are burned. The reason for this is simple: the body has to use considerable amounts of energy to warm the cold water up to body temperature. I don’t recommend icy cold water, especially during meals, because it can inhibit the digestive process.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Today Pete Wade, one of Essex’s most respected delivery drivers, has spoken to us about his own fitness and wellness lifestyle.A few years ago Pete worked in a London office, was overweight, unfit  and was forever suffering from a cold. Now he is slim, lean, fit and  healthy.</p>
<p><strong>The Metabolic Factor</strong></p>
<p>The constant stop and  start of activity throughout the day keeps  metabolism racing. Unlike  when you just exercise intensively for 45  minutes 3 times a week, if  you are active on and off all day long, you  keep your metabolism high  all day long. So a combination of fewer  calories as a result of zero  comfort eating and being active all day  makes you a healthier person.<span id="more-2390"></span></p>
<p><strong>The Hunger Factor</strong></p>
<p>If  you have ever gone to the gym before you had time for dinner, you  may  have noticed that once you have exercised you actually lose your   appetite. Many people that eat in the evenings are not doing so because   they need those calories to function, it is really just a form of   comfort eating.</p>
<p><strong>A New Healthy Lifestyle</strong></p>
<p>Pete wants to make it clear that his meal habits are more or less the  same. Snacks are reduced massively though, he eats for energy that is  required to work. So a day may look more like this.</p>
<p>Wake up in the morning and have breakfast at home, taking his time  and eating a good balanced breakfast. Then checking for new messages in  case any clients contacted him during the night.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Can An Office Worker Ever Be Like A Working Man?</strong></p>
<p>Not really. Things you can do to help are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stop snacking altogether in the office</li>
<li>Go for a long walk at lunchtime</li>
<li>Get out for a shorter break in the morning and afternoon if possible, walk for 10 minutes around the block</li>
<li>Get home and instead of comfort eating on the sofa do some exercise</li>
<li>Increase activity at the weekend – so lots of chores around the  house, improve the garden, go for long walks, cycles or hit the gym for a  long session</li>
<li>Reduce stress – stress leads to comfort eating and overeating accounts for 80% of weight gain</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>A Typical Weight Gaining Officer Worker</strong></p>
<p>Pete’s typical day  would start with a 90 minute commute into London,  driving then sitting  on a train. Then he would have breakfast at work,  sometimes cooked,  sometimes toast, always pretty unhealthy. Then a hard  morning sitting  at a desk would be done, with possibly a toilet break  and a trip to the  coffee machine.</p>
<p>Often lunch would be purchased in the staff  canteen (4 floors down in  the lift) and then eaten at his desk while  surfing the net. Some days  he would step outside to buy something in a  local shop, often he would  not.</p>
<p>The afternoon would be spent  working at the desk, with breaks for  more coffee and often a chocolate  snack. Then work would finish, a 90  minute commute home followed by  sitting on the sofa resting his weary  feet.</p>
<p>Does that sound familiar? Probably, as thousands of people following this lifestyle and put on weight as a result.</p>
<p><strong>State your weight loss aims and focus </strong><br />
Because changing your eating habits for the long term is the only way to  successful weight loss it is important to spend a bit of time thinking  about your aims. There are many good reasons for losing weight but you  may have a priority. It may be your health, your self esteem, or to look  more attractive. Having a clear idea of what you want, a focus, will  help keep you on track.</p>
<p><strong>Mental preparation for weight loss</strong><br />
It is important to spend a bit of time preparing yourself mentally for  the changes that you are going to make because to be successful you have  to think of the long term. You are going to have to make some changes  to what you eat and your patterns of food intake. Eating out at your  favorite places may need to change, especially early on when diet change  is the most difficult, but once you&#8217;ve established a routine things  should get easier.</p>
<p><strong>Keep a food diary to monitor weight loss</strong><br />
This should be part of your preparation. Write down what you eat, when  and where. Make a note of your mood. All of this information can  contribute to your aims and the changes that you are going to make.  Unless you understand your relationship to food and your food patterns  you will not make the changes you need that leads to successful long  term weight loss.</p>
<p>You can continue with a food diary for as long as you think it is  helpful. It can help to keep you focused, help with discipline, reflect  on and change eating habits.</p>
<p><strong>Lifestyle and weight loss</strong><br />
A lot of the food we eat is fast food and so much of it is packed with  excessive amounts of sugar, salt and fat. Just by cutting back and  paying more attention to the type of food and changing to a more healthy  alternative will mean you can still eat well but you will lose weight  at the same time.</p>
<p><strong>Be realistic about weight loss</strong><br />
Aim for a loss of two lbs max in weight per week. Although we all like  to see the pounds dropping off quickly it is not helpful or healthy.  More than that and you will just be burning up muscle rather than fat  which will slow down your metabolism making it harder to loose weight  long term. Weight can fluctuate for all sorts of reasons. Don&#8217;t be  disheartened because you&#8217;ve agonized for a week but the scales say you  haven&#8217;t. Stick with it.</p>
<p><strong>Cut out snacks to maintain weight loss</strong><br />
Snacking is all too and the majority of snacks are high in calories. The  best thing is not to snack between meals but if you have to eat low  calorie healthy foods like fruit.</p>
<p><strong><br />

<p id="intelliTxt">Protein shakes can be made with several intended uses in mind. Many people tend to categorize them as tools to help people gain weight and build lean muscle mass. However, protein shakes can also be used effectively for weight loss when made with the right ingredients. If you combine several different healthy ingredients, you&#8217;ll get a healthy, quick beverage that can greatly assist your weight loss goals.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://fitnesslines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/fitnesslines-fresh-fruit.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2315" title="fitnesslines-fresh-fruit" src="http://fitnesslines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/fitnesslines-fresh-fruit.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="443" /></a></p>
<p>There are many benefits to using protein shakes as a weight loss tool. The protein in the beverage will help to keep your body feeling full, preventing snacking later in the day. Some of the other ingredients for protein shakes will help provide your body with other essential nutrients, such as antioxidants and vitamins. Additionally, starting your day with a protein shake will kick your metabolism into a high gear immediately, allowing you to burn as many calories as possible all day long.<span id="more-2311"></span></p>
<p><strong>Protein Powders</strong> :With weight loss in mind, it&#8217;s always important to eat plenty of protein that will help keep your body feeling full. However, you will not require the large doses of protein that those looking to build new muscle need. Therefore, adding in protein powder is entirely optional if you have other sources of protein in your shake. A half scoop of protein powder, which will provide upwards of 10 grams of protein while adding less than 100 calories, is more than sufficient if you so choose. Additionally, protein powders come in various flavors that can help add to the taste of your shake.</p>
<p><strong>Fruit: </strong>Fruit is an essential ingredient for protein shakes. The fruit you use will in large part determine the flavor and consistency that you end up with. Additionally, adding fruit will provide a huge boost of vitamins and antioxidants that your body needs for overall health. The fruit you use can be either fresh or frozen, but you should avoid fruit salads or other mixes that contain sugary syrups. Include one to three servings of fruit in your protein shake</p>
<div><strong>Shake it to health: </strong>The best weight loss shake is a reliable drink that can also serve as a meal replacement. You will know if they are best for you under the following conditions:</div>
<ul>
<li>It aids you in your achieving your weight loss goals</li>
<li>It provides you with all the vitamins and minerals that you need that normally comes from the foods that you are restricted to eat.</li>
<li>It provides you with the right amount of energy that you can use for daily activities and exercising.</li>
<li>It does not leave you hungry.</li>
<li>It does not have to be very expensive but are still effective</li>
<li>It simply tastes good.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Commercial shakes</strong> :The best weight loss shake may come in the form of commercialized ones. These are already conveniently packaged for you, usually in powder or ready-to-drink forms. Here are some of the commercial shakes that you can find in the market<strong>Ultra Slim Fast</strong></p>
<p>This is one of the most popular brands but some people do not consider this as the best weight loss shake in the market because of its high sugar content of 78 grams and it does not contribute to losing muscle mass and water weight. You are usually required to drink the shake for breakfast and it is paired up with a low calorie weight loss plan. The entire shake contains 220 calories, 46 grams of carbohydrates that includes 7 grams of protein and 35 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of fat.</p>
<p><strong>Myoplex Low Carb</strong></p>
<p>With only 120 calories and less sugar, the product is the best weight loss shake for those who are on a high protein and low carb diet. However, you may need to take in more food with this product since it cannot provide enough calories to compensate for a meal. These are more ideal for snacks or paired up with fruits if you are not planning on eating after consuming it.</p>
<p><strong>Ensure Lite</strong></p>
<p>This product provides you with two choices for shakes: the regular Ensure Lite and the Zone Perfect. Both of them have 200 and 260 calories respectively and have different amounts of high protein and are low in carbohydrates. However, the product still contains a high amount of sugar.</p>
<p><strong>Make your own shakes</strong></p>
<p>The best weight loss shake may be available within your reach in your kitchen. This simply means that you can make your own weight loss shakes with the right ingredients. These ingredients can easily be bought in groceries or food stores. Furthermore, they are less costly than commercial shakes and you are provided with more control on what you can put in your shakes.</p>
<p><strong>Health and simplicity in one</strong></p>
<p>Homemade shakes are no-fuss and no-hassle ones to make. In fact, all you need is a blender, your choices for fruits and vegetables, some ice, and water. With fruits and vegetables as your ingredients, you are provided with a hefty amount of all the necessary vitamins and minerals that your body needs for nutrition in one drink.</p>

<p>There are a multitude of best weight lifting exercises that you can do for yourself but I think that the most important thing that you can do is to concentrate on your core bodyparts and try to get exercises that will work those parts. These are the best weight lifting exercises.</p>
<p><a href="http://fitnesslines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/fitnesslines-men-weight-lifting.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2270" title="fitnesslines-men-weight-lifting" src="http://fitnesslines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/fitnesslines-men-weight-lifting.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="399" /></a></p>
<p>First thing to know when choosing the best weight exercises is to understand the difference between simple and compound exercises. A simple exercise is one in which only one muscle group is used, biceps curls for example. A compound exercise is one where you are working more than one muscle group. An example of a compound weight lifting exercise is bench presses which work the chest for sure but are also being assisted by the shoulders and triceps..<span id="more-2039"></span></p>
<p><strong>Here you&#8217;ll find a large collection of weight lifting exercises designed to help you meet your fitness goals</strong>.</p>
<p> Since we&#8217;re at <em>real</em> weight lifting, you&#8217;ll find this is the cream of the crop &#8211; the tried and tested exercises that pack on serious gains like no other.The exercises here have been proven the world over, thousands of times by countless professional athletes, coaches and bodybuilders.</p>
<p>Some are time proven classics; a few even hundreds of years old, and renowned for their potential to develop immense levels of fitness. Others have stemmed from the latest cutting-edge industry research. One thing is for sure &#8211; only the very best make the list.If you&#8217;re new to weight training, then learning about safety is of paramount importance to you. It&#8217;s a good idea to check out the safety tips before anything else. Developing good habits now will save you from potential injury a few months down the line. Many of the exercises are multi-purpose &#8211; for example, the bench press is a great choice for building chest size and upper-body strength. Likewise, it could be argued that everyone should be doing squats of one form or another, whatever their fitness goals.</p>
<p>These basic, compound exercises are proven to be the best lifting exercises to gain muscle mass and increase strength. If you&#8217;re not using them as the foundation of your workout program, you&#8217;re not going to gain weight like you could.</p>
<p><strong>Weight Lifting Exercises for Chest &#8212;&#8211;</strong></p>
<p>Flat bench press with bar<br />
Flat bench press with dumbbells<br />
Incline bench press with bar<br />
Incline bench press with dumbbells</p>
<p><strong>The Best Exercises for Back &#8212;&#8211;</strong></p>
<p>Dumbbell one arm row<br />
Cable lat pulldowns to front<br />
Deadlifts<br />
Bent over back rows w/ bar<br />
Lower back extension<br />
Chin-ups (Pull-ups)<br />

<p>Lying crunches<br />
Leg raises<br />
Cable crunches<br />

Crunches on incline bench</p>
<p> There&#8217;s a list of some of the best weight lifting exercises to perform for muscle weight gain.</p>
<p>In order to get the most out of these, you have to make sure you&#8217;re training with the ideal number of reps and sets per workout.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not all. You also need to make sure you&#8217;re not training too often, or overtraining will ruin your best results.</p>
<p>And finally, in order to gain the most muscle mass and weight, you want to ensure you&#8217;re getting enough rest in between sets AND your workouts.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re trying to lose weight while maintaining muscle, you might think you need all manner of expensive dietary aids and fancy foods. But there&#8217;s no need to panic or break the bank. This month-long meal plan, devised by former international badminton player turned nutritionist and TV presenter Amanda Hamilton, is based on good-quality but inexpensive forms of protein. It contains plenty of slow-release, high-fibre carbs to fuel your workouts and keep you feeling full, as well as essential fats and nutrients that weight loss plans often lack. You don&#8217;t have to worry about excessive costs or calories: each day&#8217;s menu comes in at under 2,000 calories and costs less than £10 at Tesco .</p>

<p><strong>Fit mates key to flab fight</strong></p>
<p><strong>WANT to fight the flab? </strong></p>
<p>Ditch your couch-potato friends and hang out with carrot munchers, because being healthy could be contagious.</p>
<p>A Deakin University study has found women tend to mimic the eating and exercise behaviours of people around them.</p>
<p>Researchers  at the Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research surveyed  more than 3500 Victorian women, and found healthy participants were most  likely to be surrounded by health-conscious peers.</p>
<p>Senior  research fellow Dr Kylie Ball said it showed healthy living may be  contagious. &#8220;Our study considered the impact of social norms on physical  activity and eating behaviours, including consumption of fast food,  soft drink and fruit and vegetables,&#8221; she said.</p>
<div>
<div id="sidebar-start">
<p>Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar.</p>
</div>
<div id="sidebar-end">
<p>End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>&#8220;We found that women who spent time around healthy peers were more  likely to also eat well and exercise &#8230; suggesting that healthy living  could well be contagious.&#8221;</p>
<p>Equally, she said women with friends  and families leading sedentary lifestyles and gorging on fast food were  less likely to be healthy.</p>
<p>Dr Ball said one of the reasons could  be that people tend to flock to like-minded people. But she also said  people were likely to adopt what they saw as social norms.</p>
<p>&#8220;Women  who see others engaging in particular physical activity or eating  behaviours may view these as normal or socially desirable and may adopt  them due to a positive attitude about the behaviours, a shared belief in  their value or a strong urge to fit in,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>The study, Is  Healthy Behaviour Contagious? Associations of Social Norms with Physical  Activity and Healthy Eating, has been published in the International  Journal of Behavioural Nutrition and Physical Activity.</p>

<div>The concept of liposuction is surprisingly simple. Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body&#8217;s contour by removing excess fat from deposits located between the skin and muscle. Liposuction involves the use of a small stainless steel tube, called a cannula (from the Latin word for reed, tube, cane). The cannula is connected to a powerful suction pump and inserted into the fat through small incisions in the skin. Fat removal is accomplished as the suction cannula creates tiny tunnels through the fatty layers. After surgery, these tiny tunnels collapse and thus result in an improved body contour. It is a way to remove the fat localized to one area. It cannot take the place of exercise and diet but is meant for shaping the body figure. Liposuction is also used to treat men with gynecomastia by reducing their breast size. Fat tumors can also be removed by liposuction but mostly it is used for the purpose of body shaping.</div>
<div><a href="http://fitnesslines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/fitnesslines-liposuction.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2224" title="fitnesslines-liposuction" src="http://fitnesslines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/fitnesslines-liposuction.jpg" alt="" width="413" height="310" /></a></div>
<div>
<p>We must thank the new world of medicine, especially the world of cosmetic surgery. But this weight removal is not permanent. The part from where the fat has been removed can regain the fat if a proper diet plan is not made. One has to control his/her diet in order to maintain his/her shape. It is a popular myth that after liposuction, any additional accumulation of fat will be redistributed to all the parts of the body, so get this myth out of the way.<span id="more-2223"></span></p>
<p><strong>Now parts of body of body where liposuction can be done are:-</strong><br />
1. Hips<br />
2. Thighs<br />
3. Neck, cheeks and chin.<br />
4. Legs.<br />
5. Breasts.<br />
6. Waist.<br />
7. Flanks.<br />
8. Back etc.</p>
<p><strong>Liposuction is most effective when:-</strong><br />
1. When a person has relatively a normal weight.<br />
2. When a person has a firm and elastic skin.<br />
Point to be noted is that liposuction may not be suitable to those with uncontrolled BP (Blood Pressure), Heart disease, Lung disease, Diabetes, Obesity (weight being than 130% of the total body weight) and other severe ailments.</p>
<p><strong>Now some details about Liposuction</strong><br />
During Liposuction, a vacuum-suction canula (an instrument like a hollow pen) is used to remove fat from under the skin of the target area/part of the body.</p>
<p>For liposuction, instead of canula, an ultrasonic probe can also be used which emulsifies the fat i.e. breaks the fat into small pieces and then removes the fat fragments with suction.</p>
<p><strong>There are four most commonly used techniques for liposuction. These are:-</strong><br />
1. Tumescent Liposuction.<br />
2. Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction (UAL) or Ultrasonic Liposuction.<br />
3. Liposelection<br />
4. Power Assisted Liposuction.<br />
Tumescent Liposuction makes use of saline fluid (in large quantity) which separates the fatty tissues from muscles and thus makes fat removal easy.</p>
<p>UAL makes use of Ultrasonic energy to separate the fatty tissues from muscles.<br />
Liposuction is a type of UAL only but in addition, it uses a specialized canula and grooved probes.<br />
In Power Assisted Liposuction, a vibrating canula is used for easier removal of fat.</p>
<p>Although it is generally a safe surgery but like all others surgeries, it too has some risks. It can cause heavy bleeding but this problem does not occur with UAL. Person may not react properly to anesthesia. Swelling may continue for long. It can cause hyper pigmentation i.e. it can cause brown colored spots on the skin.</p>
<p><strong>Above mentioned risks are most common but there are some risks which are rare. These are:-</strong><br />
1. It can cause infection and blood clots.<br />
2. It can cause nerve damage for ever.<br />
3. It can cause necrosis (death of skin tissue).This risk is more in smokers and diabetic patients.<br />
4. It even can cause death but it is very rare.</p>
<p>Now after having all information regarding liposuction, it is time to get some tips for minimizing the risk level:-</p>
<p>1. We should approach an experienced plastic surgeon for liposuction. Only an experienced surgeon knows the level up to which fat can be removed without any serious implications.</p>
<p>2. One must follow the instructions given by the surgeon at every step.</p>
<p>3. One must be sufficiently healthy to be able for liposuction. One should tell surgeon about his/her health history and the medicines he/she takes.</p>
<p>4. There is a risk of blood clots in legs for women taking birth control pills. So women must stop taking birth control pills.</p>
<p>5. Person should not smoke before and after the surgery.</p>
</div>
<div><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Advantages And Disadvantages Of Liposuction:</strong></span></div>
<div>
<p>Liposuction deals with the removal of fat from certain areas of the body. While fat is good for the body because it insulates the body, too much fat can hamper fluid body movement and increases the bodys exposure to disease such as heart attack and stroke. When excess fat is removed from your body, it improves the overall health and makes you feel good about yourself.</p>
<p>The success of a liposuction surgery does not lie alone on the skills and techniques of a plastic surgeon. There are also several things that you can do to help make a liposuction procedure easier for your surgeon. Prior to a liposuction surgery, you need to steer clear of anti inflammatory and anticoagulant drugs to avoid any complications.</p>
<p>The back of a female comprises of several areas that are prone to the unhealthy accumulation of fat. The infra scapular fat on the back of a female is also called the female flank and refers to the fat that is found just above the waist and below the shoulder blades. If you have fat jutting out from your back each time you wear a bra, your female flank is a tad too fat and can be taken care of through liposuction.</p>
<p>Swelling is one of the features commonly seen in patients who undergo liposuction. If your experience swelling in any part of the body where liposuction is carried out, do not panic because it is normal. Such swelling only lasts for a short time. Generally, swelling subsides between two weeks and two months.</p>
<p>There are different forms of liposuction. Each of them has a degree of efficiency and safety. The method often adopted depends solely on the surgeon. The form that proves more effective is often used.</p>
<p>If a liposuction patients changes eating habit there is hope of an appreciable life span. People with excessive weight have been discovered to have different health complications. These complications sometimes limit lifespan.</p>
<p>There is no pleasure without pain. Liposuction surgery eventually gives you the body you may have dreamed of all your life but you have to remember that the healing process can be quite painful. Before you embark on a liposuction procedure ask yourself how much am I willing to go through to get the body of my dreams.</p>
<p>Lipodissolve is a procedure that will be hazardous to people who have active cancer or AIDS. If you are pregnant, a lipodissolve will do you more harm than good. Always make sure that a particular cosmetic option it right for you before you settle on it.</p>
