One of the most common reasons why most people do not lose weight
Instead of helping you lose weight, diet drinks, diet snacks, processed foods and artificial sweeteners in your tea and coffee are keeping you fat.
Read on to find out why. . .
Artificial sweeteners overwhelm your liver
Your liver is your largest internal organ, responsible for an astonishing variety of life-sustaining and health-promoting tasks, including those that make healthy weight loss and weight management possible. It’s your liver’s job to distinguish between the nutrients you need to absorb and the dangerous or unnecessary substances that must be filtered out of your bloodstream. But when the liver is clogged and overwhelmed with toxins, like artificial sweeteners, it can’t do a very effective job of processing nutrients and fats which will prevent you from losing weight.
Your liver also produces bile, a crucial substance for detoxifying our bodies. It is the job of bile to help our bodies break down the fats we need and to assimilate fat-soluble vitamins. But when our bile becomes overly congested with the toxins it’s trying to filter out, it simply can’t function properly and it will have a greater difficulty breaking down fat.
A toxin is anything that your body does not recognize as a natural food source
Artificial sweeteners are a toxin because your body does not recognize them as a food source. So the more artificial sweeteners you consume, the more you are overwhelming your liver with toxins and the less able it is to do its job of processing fat. And if the liver can’t do its job, you can’t lose weight or worse yet, you gain weight.
Sweeteners increase your sweet tooth
Saccharin (Sweet n Low) is 300 times sweeter than sugar, aspartame (Equal) is 200 times sweeter than sugar and sucralose (splenda) is 600 times sweeter than sugar. Such sweeteners will increase your taste for sweet things. If you don't overcome your sugar cravings, any healthy eating plan will be difficult. Artificial sweeteners have also been shown to promote the same blood sugar fluctuations as regular sugar, resulting in “sugar lows” which will increase appetite and cravings.
What if you don’t use artificial sweeteners?
Don’t be fooled. Almost every diet product on the market has some kind of artificial sweetener added to it. Even some children’s snacks are now being made with sucralose (Splenda) and most flavored waters contain sucralose or aspartame.

7 Top Tips for Losing Weight
Follow these 7 Top Tips and Start Losing Weight Today
Tip 1) Clean out the pantry
One of the biggest pitfalls in a weight loss program is mindless snacking on junk food when you are tired, bored or hungry. Don’t keep junk food in your home and try not to buy it when out and about. Keep a stock of delicious fresh fruit for when you need a snack.
Tip 2) Stop doing slow boring cardio
Increase the intensity of your workouts and switch to interval training. It is less boring and far more effective.
Tip 3) Use professionally designed, structured workouts
You should be in and out of your workouts in less than 45 minutes, three times per week. On the other 4 days of the week, stay active, getting at least a 30-minute walk in each day.
Tip 4) Set up a home gym to save time.
A ball and adjustable dumbbells is really all you need. If you are feeling adventurous, you can add a pull-up bar. To change your body, you only need a little bit of equipment at home. You don't need an expensive gym membership or one of thosecolossal home gyms.
Tip 5) Watch this Youtube video on how to do Turbulence Training Bodyweight Circuits at home instead of using cardio machines.

Tip 6) Plan, shop, and prepare your food
Finding the right nutrition program is CRITICAL to success, and so is planning.
You can't out-train a bad diet, but you can out-plan bad habits.
So invest time on the weekend to shop and prepare as many of your fat burning meals as possible for the week ahead.
Tip 7) Get Social Support
This is one of the most important Weight Loss Secret that no one pays attention to.
The bottom line is...you can't do this on your own.
You need support from others to stick to your workouts, to make the right diet choices day-in and day-out and to have someone prop you up when you are feeling down and also to "call you out" when you are feeling like cutting corners.
For more support and day by day programme check out Turbulence Training today

Watch This Wake Up Call Video
"Sunday almost became the worst day of my life"
Those are the words of my pal Rob Poulos's wife Kalen, the Monday morning after the car accident that almost killed him......and his 2 kids Sarah and Ryan...It came out of nowhere. And Kalen wasn't in the car when it happened.
You really should check out the video footage (and what it means to your body) here...right now:
Watch Rob's Wake Up Call Video
...but why am I telling you this? Well, after the near death experience, Rob (creator of his best selling Fat Burning Furnace system) had come to understand more than ever that if you want something in life (like the joy of living in a lean, strong and healthy body), you have to go out and get it......you can't sit around and wait, because like Rob, you may never get a second chance.
As you can imagine, Rob has done some crazy things over the past few weeks because of his 'world-rocking' experience...
-He's visited places he's been wanting to see but never got around to going to before
-He's bought things he's always wanted, but had put them off before his accident
And Rob wants to share some of that ACTION TAKING ATTITUDE with you so you can lose weight and get the things in life you want faster and easier than ever.
So Rob is officially declaring 2008 'THE YEAR OF TAKING ACTION'!
This means it is your year for finally getting the flat stomach, tight, lean and strong body you've been putting off. See, he went out and begged the top names in fat loss and fitness for help in making this a fool-proof, no brainer for you, and has put together a wild group of 12 fat loss and fitness guides, audios, and videos......AND GET THIS...THEY'RE COMPLETELY 'FREE OF CHARGE', ON THE HOUSE FOR YOU when you claim your copy of Rob's best selling Fat Burning Furnace system
--But only if you grab your copy by 11:59PM USA EASTERN, THIS THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH.

Eat Out and Still Lose Weight
You Don't Have to Avoid Restaurants to Lose Weight
If you eat at restaurants, either for pleasure or business, it's easy to eat over 1500 or 2000 calories per meal. That's a full day's worth of calories in one sitting!
You can clock up 200 calories from pre-dinner bread & butter and 150 calories from a pre-dinner cocktail - and that's before you start!
Then there is:
Appetizer 500-1500 calorie bomb on it's own
Steak 300-500 calories
Potato 150-300 calories
Vegetable 100 calories
Dinner Drink 150 calories
Dessert - 300-750 calories
After Dinner Drink 150 calories
And that's only if you CONTROL yourself! If you go on a rampage, you could be looking at 2500 or even 3000 calories in one sitting.
Those numbers are scary. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid this dietary nightmare while dining out. Here are 5 rules to cut 1000 calories from your dining-out diet.
1) Plan ahead and avoid restaurants that offer huge portions.
2) Skip the bread.
3) No booze or liquid calories of any type.
4) No potatoes or rice.
5) Stick to protein and vegetables or salad.
6) Have fruit for dessert.
It's all about taking responsibility for your choices. You can still enjoy your meal and the social aspects of eating out without the pain of regret afterwards through feeling full, bloated and knowing you have just consumed a whole days calories in on sitting.
The choice is yours, but if you are serious about losing weight, it's a small price to pay.
Check out my recommended diet site at the Diet Solution today and find out how you can lose weight through following a healthy, nutritious eating plan.

Why Rest is Vital for Weight Loss
Less is More when Training for Fat Loss!
As it's Sunday - the day of rest - today's post is about the importance of rest and it's significance on burning fat and helping you lose weight. In order to reap the benefits from the intense exercise, recommended in this blog to lose weight, you must get adequate rest. In fact, rest is just as important as the actual exercise.
During high intensity resistance exercise, muscles experience tiny injuries or tears. The body's response is to adapt and repair, getting stronger and larger muscles, which of course leads to burning more fat and results in weight loss and a leaner body. But this growth and repair process won't take place if you do not get sufficient rest and you will experience poor results. You won't burn fat the way you should, and you will just end up demotivated or possibly giving up your fat loss efforts altogether.
When giving the body an intense stimulus, such as proper weight training, you can't do this everyday. If you did, you would quickly over train your muscles and negate your body's ability to recover from exercise. Your immune system could become so worn down in fact, that you might even get sick. And this repair and recover process doesn't happen overnight, it usually takes 2 days or more, So make sure to keep between 1-3 days of rest between your properly conducted resistance training workouts, or you will be short-circuiting your chances of success to burn fat and build lean, strong, muscle.
So remember to get enough rest between workouts and also sufficient sleep each night so that you can build the fat burning muscle that will help you transform your body.
If you have not started a weight loss programme yet, please select from one of my recommended sites on the right or go to Fat Burning Furnace and start losing fat fast.

Do You Want Great Abs!
Why Sit-ups are a Waste of Time.
Many people spend a high proportion of their exercise time completing high repetitions of sit-ups and variations of the basic crunch to get a lean, toned mid section. While there is nothing wrong with the sit-up or crunch movement, once you can do 10 reps then you are not putting the muscles under enough stress to work them effectively.
In addition, most of us have excess fat covering our abs which needs to be removed before the abs are revealed. As we cannot target fat loss in a particular area of the body the only method to do this is to exercise for fat loss.
I and many others believe there are much more effective exercises to focus on that will indirectly work the abs and the entire core area as well as working the whole body which will stimulate muscle fibres, increase metabolism and as a result burn fat and reveal those abs.
For an excellent programme to get six pack abs and a lean, sexy body, go to the Truth About Abs and see for yourself why sit-ups are a waste of time.
