5 ways to lose weight fast

Lose weight fast

If you want to stave off pounds within a few weeks, you can either go straight to the nearest Lake Mary weight loss center or get a taste of the latest diet fads.Lose weight fast

Now, if you choose the latter, chances are you might just end up frustrated. Just because a diet works for a Hollywood celebrity doesn’t mean you’ll get the same results. Besides, we all know how most of crash diets work. Remember, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

But what if your party will take place three weeks from now? Or you’re looking forward to your high school reunion yet too discouraged because of your weight gain?

Truth be told, there’s no magic bullet to help you slim down instantly. But the good news is that there are few safe ways you can try to lose weight fast. And even better news is that if you develop some of these habits in the long term, you can finally say goodbye to all your diet woes.

Here are just some of the surprising—and safest—ways to lose weight fast:

 

Keep yourself busy

Seriously, how many times have you found yourself munching a pack of Cheetos just because you’re bored? Part of America’s obesity problems must be blamed on laziness and the failure of some people to know the difference between “healthy” and “careless” eating. It’s so easy to slack off and eat anything you want if you’re doing nothing. So instead of daydreaming, spend your time productively through hobbies, sports, and personal projects that matter. Without you knowing it, junk foods will be the last thing that pop on your mind.

 

Avoid skipping meals

How you eat your breakfast can make or break your productivity for the entire day. If you skip it, its more likely that you’ll crave for more food the rest of the day. The problem is, people who skip breakfast and turn out more hungry tend to pick unhealthy choices. So don’t just prepare healthy foods; learn to enjoy every meals and don’t let your busy schedule get in the way of your healthy eating.

 

Drink plenty of water

We’ve all heard it before: drink plenty of water and you’ll stay cleansed, healthy, and energized. But is it just another overhyped health myth? Recent research says otherwise.

According to a scientific study featured in Discovery News, obese dieters who drank at least two cups of water before each meal lost an average of 5 pounds more than those who didn’t increase their water intake. This is because drinking plenty of water may suppress appetite and increase the body’s metabolic rate.

 

Switch to healthier alternatives

Losing weight fast doesn’t mean you should be desperate to burn more fats than necessary. Oftentimes, changing one’s perspective about diet and weight loss can bring the greatest impact. For example, instead of storing gallons of ice cream in your fridge, why not opt to buy healthier snacks like roasted sunflower seeds instead. You can also get rid of oily foods from fast-food restaurants and start spending more time eating home-cooked meals. By doing so, you won’t just lose weight faster but save more money as well.

 

Try hypnosis

For some people, losing weight fast also means taking major risks and going under the knife. Weight loss surgeries are rife nowadays and consumers are led to believe that these painful procedures are the only way out. But there are better ways to lose as much as 1-5 pounds per week without the risk of medical complications. Hypnosis for weight loss, also known as Virtual Lap Band, is one of them. This is a non-surgical approach of suppressing one’s appetite so you can get all the benefits of traditional surgery, minus all the risks and complications.

Inch Loss vs. Weight Loss: The Shocking Truth You Need to Know

 

It’s probably one of the first things you do every morning. Stepping in to the weighing scale, you can’t help but get excited to know how your weight loss regimen has progressed. And then the figures start to roll in. With a matter of seconds, your self-esteem suddenly goes down the drain.

Does this scene sound too familiar?Weight Loss Lose Inches

If you always find yourself obsessed with what your “honest” weight loss scale tells you, then you’re missing on some important rule. Ask any nutritional expert and they’ll all agree on one important truth: weight loss is not the ultimate health indicator.

If this is the case, then how come most people are frantically looking for the next diet pill that promises the greatest weight loss? Simple: They have a shallow idea of what “weight loss” is really all about.

 

Dispelling the myth about weight loss

Getting low numbers on your scale doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in your best shape and form. For one, scales don’t just measure fat but also the weight of your muscles, bones, and internal organs. In other words, the term “weight loss” can signify a decrease on your muscle mass, body fats, or water percentage.

Focusing strictly on weight loss can also lead to a false idea that you’re not getting any progress. Although shedding off some pounds is recommended during the initial stages of a fitness program, letting the scale control you can be detrimental in the long run. Not only will it crush your self-esteem but also give you misleading information about your health.

Remember, bodybuilders have less fats but they’re also heavier than people with typical body types. Does this mean they’re not healthy? Of course not.  In the end, your weighing scale is not a foolproof way to determine whether you’re losing fat or not. Many people begin a weight loss program by losing fat and building muscle.  The scale may reflect that you haven’t lost any weight but the reality is that you lost fat and gained more muscle mass.

 

Why “inches” matter more than “pounds”

For you to succeed in any weight loss program, what you need is a big dose of motivation. But for so many dieters, checking how many pounds they have lost first thing in the morning brings more harm than good. If the numbers aren’t moving, it’s easier for their mood and motivation to get ruined.

And this when “inch loss” reveals its value.

Unlike the scale, it tells us if all our efforts are actually bearing fruit or not. Exercise can help you lose those love handles but if you’ve been doing strength training, chances are you’re also gaining more muscles. In terms of metabolism, increase in muscle mass can dramatically increase your BMR. This means your body will be more efficient in burning fats and keeping your body toned.

Yet your scale gives a different impression.

The more muscles you gain, the higher the pounds you’ll see on the scale. Then the painful cycle will suddenly repeat itself. Simply put, depending too much on “weight loss” can potentially distract you from achieving your fitness goals.

 

Achieving inch loss with Lipo Light

To see is to believe and when it comes to getting fit, an apparent change in your figure means you’re on the right track. Now that you know how “inch loss” differs from “weight loss”, you might begin thinking about the fastest ways to get in shape. Liposuction, for example, can slim you down after going under the knife but do you think you deserve all the pain and expense that comes from it?

Needless to say, a safe, non-surgical procedure is a better option for anyone who desires to slim down. Lipo Light or laser lipo is an innovative procedure that helps you see noticeable changes in your body without using surgical means. With the use of 16 pads filled with heat and light emitting diodes, Lipo Light stimulates your body and brings immediate sculpting for your thighs, saddlebags, neck, back, arms, and anywhere that has excess fats.

Safe and painless, Lipo Light body sculpting promises long-term benefits especially if done with the right diet and exercise. On average, a Lipo Light program—which normally takes 8 sessions to complete—can help you lose as much as 4 inches without any side-effects such as bruising, downtime, or scarring.

Hypnosis for Weight Loss: 3 Amazing Facts You Should Know

Hypnosis for Weight Loss: 3 Amazing Facts You Should Know

 

Anyone in Orlando or Lake Mary who has tried shedding pounds can vouch for the fact that weight loss is not as easy as it looks. Just watch “The Biggest Loser” and you’ll see what that means.weight_loss_lake_mary_hypnosis

But seriously, a potent dose of self-discipline is simply not enough for long-term weight loss. Blame it on false advertising, most dieters jump from one overhyped fitness product after another. And the fact that most diet fads (or even traditional ones) eliminate the fun part of eating only adds hurt to the injury.

Then there comes the weight loss surgery. It might work in one way or another but just imagine the physical demands of going under the knife and you’ll just think twice before even considering it.

Now, if you’re too scared to deal with a surgeon or too much of a foodie to even try the next South Beach diet, consider what other weight loss patients have been craving about: hypnosis for weight loss.

A non-surgical way to stave off excess fats, weight loss hypnosis puts you in a sort of a trance. By doing this, the hypnotherapist will be able to introduce ideas to your subconscious mind that will help you feel full  faster and lose weight without letting yourself go hungry.

And here come the best part.

A new innovation called Virtual Lap Band Hypnosis offers you the benefits of a gastric band surgery without undergoing a surgery yourself. The process is plain and simple: You undergo four intense phases of hypnosis where you’ll be able to change some limiting beliefs and mimic the actual surgical procedure. You’ll step outside of the surgical room stitch-free but with better control and a renewed enthusiasm to lose weight.

Sounds better? Here are another 3 facts about this innovative hypnosis for weight loss you ought to know:

 

It won’t starve you to death

Saying “don’t eat this and that” is the best way to discourage a dieter. Sadly, this is the same idea we get from most weight loss diets; they restrict some food groups and let you focus on a set of unpalatable recipes. What a way to kill one’s enthusiasm from the get go.

Hypnosis for weight loss, on the other hand, encourages the foodie in you. In fact, you can literally savor any food you like without you worrying whether you’ll gain weight or not. This is because the “mental surgery” will give your subconscious mind the idea that you have a gastric band in your stomach (even if there’s none). As a result, you get the luxury of eating foods you desire in moderation, savoring their taste, and feeling satisfied quicker as before.

 

You lose weight without going under the knife

Achieving weight loss by surgically putting a band in your stomach is downright scary, to say the least. The smell of blood and the frightening sight of surgical tools can make anyone cringe.

Surprisingly, Virtual Lap Band Hypnosis will put you in the same procedure but with one odd twist: everything is all in the mind!

As a non-surgical way of helping you lose weight, you will enter the surgical room—dressed up and all—to begin an intense session of “mental surgery”. The hypnotherapist will try to simulate the common sounds and smell of an actual operating room. As a result, you get the idea that the procedure is a real deal even if it’s not.

 

Virtual surgery = No harmful effects

Because it’s a type hypnotherapy, this procedure assures safety both for your mental and physical health. In other words, you’ll never fear waking up in a middle of the operation with anesthesia running out. Hypnosis for weight loss will give the feeling that you have a band fitted in your stomach while eliminating all the nightmares involved in the actual operation.

Truth be told, Virtual Lap Band Hypnosis is not the be-all, end-all of weight loss program. But couple it with a healthy, balanced diet or an effective exercise regimen and you’ll reap all its benefits one by one.

Hypnosis for weight loss is great, pain-free alternative for weight loss but just like in any other endeavors, you should be ready to put all the effort to bring out a healthier, fitter you.

Why Don’t Diets Work For Permanent Weight Loss?

weight loss scale for dieting

Lake Mary Weight Loss dietWhy am I dieting but not losing weight and why does the weight come back?

I cant remember how many times I’ve heard someone say “Oh…I’ve lost 20 or 30 pounds with the “Insert latest diet fad here” but the weight keeps coming back”.  There are numerous reasons for this but the #1 reason is that as soon as you are off of your diet, you go back to your old eating habits and guess what happens?

Most diets deal with eating certain foods and abstaining from other others or taking pills, injections, etc… The person on the diet feels like they are being punished and since they are all on a diet, all they think about all day is food.  “What can I eat?  What can’t I eat? Why am I craving what I can’t eat?”

Imagine a program where you are rewarding yourself with all of the foods that you love but you are still losing weight.  How is this possible?

Introducing “The Virtual Gastric Band”.

To explain the concept of this program, imagine owning a house with a basement that fills with water every few months.  You have the water pumped out but a few months later the water returns again, so you need to to pump it out yet again.  This cycle continues year after year…  This is how diets work.  You lose weight on the diet but the moment that you stop dieting…the water returns….the weight returns….

The Virtual Gastric Band program was designed to find out why the “water is flooding the basement” and stop it from coming back in.  Not only do we deal with the amounts of food that you eat but why we eat.  Let me explain…

Everything that we have heard, seen and experienced in our lifetimes, good and bad, has had an effect on our thinking.  “Eat everything on your plate”, “There are Children Starving in China so you should feel guilty about unless you clear the plate”.  We have been taught from infancy that food is the cure all for our problems.  When a mother hears her baby crying, she checks the diaper and then feeds the baby, even if it isn’t hungry.  So from childhood we are taught that food is the answer to all emotions.

Our program is two fold. First we reward our clients with eating the amount of food necessary to be full but to stop eating when they are aware of being full.  We uses hypnosis and suggestions to consciously and subconsciously make them aware of when they are full, and they stop eating when they are.  The Virtual Gastric Band program conditions them to be aware of when they are full by placing suggestions in the subconscious that a gastric band has been  inserted around the top part of the stomach so they full fuller faster.  But our program goes beyond the band technique because we realize that food is consumed for many reasons other than hunger such as:

  • stress
  • anxiety
  • loneliness
  • boredom

 

Our program deals with with their emotions and directly and gives them the tools to deal with these situations without food.  The goal of this program is simple, yet very effective.

“Food consumption is fuel and only used for fuel”

You can enjoy all of the foods that you love but will only eat portions necessary to fuel your body.  Also, food is not the answer for your emotions and we will make you aware of all of the emotions and how to deal with them in the proper manner.

The first session is the introductory session explaining what we do and asking as well as answering all questions about our program.  There are 6 sessions and each is designed to address the specific needs and issues that are pertinent to each client.  In other words, it is NOT a cookie cutter program.  It is tailored to each and every client’s needs and circumstances.  We welcome as much feedback as possible from our clients so that we can address all of their personal needs in order to allow for faster results.

Did I mention that you can eat whatever food that you want?  There is no dieting involved in this program.

Ready to lose that weight and keep it off?  If you have any questions about our Virtual Gastric Weight Loss program, please call the clinic and ask for Ken Marino.

Weight Loss Hypnosis Orlando

virtual lap band orlando

Due to the rising cases of obesity, researchers are looking for the best weight loss solutions possible.  One of the most interesting methods for weight loss in Orlando is hypnosis.  Hypnosis for weight loss targets a quick solution to the problem, but hypnosis is often misused by some crooked entities hoping taking advantage of people looking for an easy answer for weight loss.

There are all types of information available by searching the internet on weight loss hypnosis in Orlando.  You can find information on video tapes, audio tapes, books and in seminars.  Most of them claim that they can change a person’s state of mind in an instant, and they can produce weight loss results in a very short amount of time.  People must be very cautious and mindful of these types of claims.  Most of them are fraudulent and not true.

Even with all the bad media around hypnosis for weight loss, it has been discovered through various studies that when hypnosis is performed along with behavioral management programs, it can definitely have a good effect on the ability to lose weight.  The behavioral programs that are normally used along with hypnosis are designed to alter the eating habits of a person.  It was also noted that people who used the weight loss hypnosis and behavioral management at the same time happened to lose more weight than the ones who got involved with group therapy. This method for weight loss has been the most effective for people who want to lose smaller amounts of weight.  It also showed that it is an effective way to control and maintain one’s weight.

The way in which weight loss hypnosis works is by making the person much more aware of the suggestions that they are given that help with weight loss. It is done through the process of hypnosis, which leads the person into a state of relaxation and opens them up to suggestibility.  Hypnosis is effective in helping people create a healthy pattern for eating food in the long-term as well as helping people learn positive eating habits.  Doing this through the process of hypnosis is a great supplement that goes hand-in-hand with a weight management program.

Using hypnosis for weight loss requires an extended amount of time and effort by the candidate.  People who try to tell you hypnosis is done without time or effort are just trying to sell you something that just won’t work. Weight loss hypnosis in Orlando is available for those seeking answers for obesity.
