Best Weight Loss Diet Programs

Do you find yourself cringing when someone asks your weight? Why are so many women ashamed to admit what the scale says?

No matter where you look, the media sends messages all around the clock that women are somehow not worth while if they weigh more than 100 pounds! "Did you see what she was wearing???" "Can you believe how much weight that so-and-so has gained???"

Where did this superficiality sprout from??? I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of looking at all of the magazine covers and television icons who promote that sickly skinny is the way to be! Not only does it traumatize our youth, but it also sends the message that if you aren't skinny, you are no good, to women all over the world!!!

When I say that it traumatizes our youth, I am speaking from a first hand experience. I am a recovering anorexic, bulimic, and compulsive eater. I remember at the age of 13, turning on a movie with nudity, and having my first encounter with a movie exploiting women.

She looked nothing like me nude. I remember feeling so ashamed of myself. I thought, "What's wrong with me? Am I some kind of freak?! If this is what women should look like, then what happened to me!?"

I became anorexic not long after. I am currently 27, and I still find myself struggling with fourteen-year-old delusions.

I grew up with a mother that was constantly on a diet. I remember so vividly how she would talk about how fat she was; she was ALWAYS "on a diet", yet I thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world. I picked up alot of her self esteem issues, but in no way do I blame her. She was a victim of child abuse, as was I, which is linked to self worth issues.

With all that aside, our weight in no way should link us to our self worth or our personal identity! I am not a number on the scale!!!!!!! I am a beautiful, intelligent, loving woman who deserves nothing but respect and love from those I encounter and the people I love!

And this is how every woman in the world should feel! Do not let the world control how you think or how you feel about yourself! Don't let Hollywood, which is only about making money, control you like a puppet! We have to take back our minds and our own thoughts.

Weight loss should be about becoming healthy. It should be about adding energy and feeling the absolute best about ourselves. Lose weight for you and not for what you think will impress some unreachable standard that our world has brain-washed us to believe is perfect.

I am going to start telling myself how beautiful I am; will you join me???

Okay, I finally did it. After all the infomercials and advertisements flashing in my face, I ordered Hip Hop Abs!

I'm definitely what you call a weight loss junkie. I'm always searching for the latest diet and the best exercise program. So if you are looking for the best weight loss program and are considering on ordering Hip Hop Abs please read on...

The product's claim is that you will tilt, tuck and tighten your way to get flat abs and a leaner body without sit-ups or crunches.

I recently bought and tried out Hip Hop Abs. Here's my review:

Hip Hop Abs comes with several workout DVDs. I put the fat burning cardio disc in and at first it seemed like an ordinary weight loss program. Let me tell you, by the time the 30 minutes were up I was sweating my hind end off!!!

Shaun T, the instructor, is extremely motivating, fun, energetic, and keeps you excited for the entire program. I couldn't believe how great of a workout it was, yet so easy to follow. The hardest thing is getting the tilt and tuck movement down, but once you get it, and it doesn't take long, you can feel your ABS tightening up and burning with every movement.

Total Body Burn is much like the fat burning cardio disc, but Shaun T. incorporates moves that target almost every muscle in your body. I didn't have a problem following any of his moves, and while you are burning calories, you are also learning great dance moves you can use to show off. Shaun T. is always upbeat and energetic, and keeps you wanting to learn more.

The workout is broke up into dance segments so that you don't get bored doing the same routine over and over again. It's very difficult to find a workout program that is great for weight loss and fun at the same time. Hip Hop Abs is definitely both!

The best thing about the weight loss program, Hip Hop Abs, other than the excellent workout, is the workout timer at the bottom of the screen. I don't know about you, but usually when I workout I'm thinking, "When is this going to be over?!" This isn't the case with Hip Hop Abs; they count down each workout segment with a timer and tell how much total time is left. The DVD just flies by!

The one and only down side for me was that the music wasn't very motivating. But what the music lacked for me, Shaun T. made up for with his enthusiasm and energy!



Thank you for reading my Hip Hop Abs review!

Have you ever noticed that the word Die is the first three letters of Diet??? Weight Loss is hard enough without adding anymore negativity to it. The word DIET needs to be removed from all of our vocabularies and replaced with Lifestyle Change! So how do we do it?

The first step in any lifestyle change is to make the decision to change and stick to it. Losing weight is truly a frame of mind. It's literally all in our heads! You have to be ready to say no and stick to your guns. It's easy to say okay it's time to lose weight and then six hours later your finishing the crumbs off from a large bag of chips! So what's next?

Develop a Plan of Action. For your best weight loss you've got to plan ahead. Get a journal and write everything down from what you've ate to what you are going to eat and stick to it. If you are like me, then just winging it doesn't work. If I don't write down my weight loss program ahead, I end up eating more than I realized and then usually give up. On that note...

Stay Positive!!! Realize that the best weight loss from a lifestyle change takes time, especially if you want the weight to stay off for good! Read an inspirational book. Tell family and friends about your lifestyle change so that they can encourage you!

Stay Hydrated. Dehydration can slow your metabolism by 3 percent. At a weight of 150 pounds, that would be about 45 fewer calories burned a day, which could add up to about 5 extra pounds a year.

Any weight loss program that claims dramatic weight loss in a short period of time isn't good for your body and the short-term and long-term effects are hazardous for your health. Those are what you call DIEts! Plus, typically on fast result DIEts the weight loss is mostly muscle and water. Then, when you go off the DIEts, you gain back everything and then some. So you're worse off then when you started and your metabolism is slower making it even harder for your best weight loss.

Find a Weight Loss Buddy. Everyone knows that lifestyle changes can be difficult, especially if you are trying it alone. Having someone by your side with the same goals will motivate you and keep you both on the right weight loss track.

Develop Good Exercise Habits. Eating right is the first key for weight loss. But for the best weight loss you must develop good exercise habits. Aerobics should be incorporated into your lifestyle change as well as weight lifting. Aerobics strengthens your heart, burns calories, lowers stress, raises our mood, fights PMS symptoms...There are so many wonderful benefits aside from weight loss. Thirty minutes of low-impact aerobics 3-5 time a week is crucial for your best weight loss program.

Lifting weights is also a vital key. So many women have the misconception that if they lift weights they are going to "bulk up". That just isn't the case. We aren't men!!! You actually get smaller lifting weights. Lifting lite to moderate weight tones up our bodies and raises our metabolism so that we become fat burning, weight loss machines!!! Just remember, muscle weighs more than fat, so if you are lifting weights and the scale isn't changing at first, don't get discouraged...go by your measurements. Most likely you're losing fat and replacing it with fat eating muscle.

Set Short-term Weight Loss Goals and Reward Yourself. But make sure it's not with food!!! Set a 5 lb. weight loss goal at 3 weeks, and at the end of the 3 weeks treat yourself to a manicure or a pedicure. Something that will make you feel beautiful!

Maintain!!! Once you finally get to your target weight, don't go back to your same old bad habits. After all, that's why it's a lifestyle change, not a lifestyle change, change back! It's okay to eat some of the foods we all love, just don't gorge yourself with them. It's all about escaping from the never-ending weight loss cycle. Keep all the good habits that you have developed and when you find yourself thinking that it's okay to binge or slip back, think about all the blood, sweat, and tears it took you to get where you are. I guarantee you'll take your hand out of the cookie jar and get onto the elliptical machine! Maintain and never go back!!!

With My Deepest Love

I've tried diets, diets, and more diets!!! Sure, if I'm motivated for weight loss they work at first. But, as usual, after about 2-4 weeks I run screaming to the refrigerator with that starving, crazed look on my face that says, "Just let someone get in my way...I'll eat THEM and the refrigerator both!"

Obviously, whatever diet lead me to that craziness wasn't the best weight loss diet! I did, however, discover the absolute BEST weight loss diet!

GREEN TEA!!!!! I cannot tell you enough about how green tea has changed my dieting life. It has taken the place of my morning coffee...my afternoon diet soda...my late night glass of regular tea.

The best qualities about drinking green tea is it raises your metabolism causing you to lose more weight, and it also has wonderful antioxidants that your body needs and craves that clean your system and fight harmful cells in your body.

I'm not a doctor, but my weight loss experience with green tea is enough to have me convinced that it is a dieters miracle drink/pill!

Five months before my wedding I needed some major weight loss. I have an awful time losing weight. I just couldn't seem to stay on my weight loss diet. I would diet a couple days and then blow it the rest of the week. And of course, Thanksgiving and Christmas came just 3 months before my wedding and I was still 20 lbs overweight. With all the eating that comes with the holidays I thought I was done for and so was the dress two sizes too small in my closet.

I went online and decided to try a product that a well respected t.v. talk show host recommended. It was a green tea product. I have read that it takes at least 2-4 cups of green tea to cause weight loss. I, however, wanted the best maximum weight loss results possible so I took green tea supplements and drank green tea. I drank one glass before each meal, and took the green tea supplement as directed by the bottle. Not only did the green tea reduce my appetite, it also caused me to lose 20 lbs of fat, without starving myself, right in time for my wedding! And to top it all off, my dress fit perfectly!!!

If you've never tried green tea before, it might take a little getting used to. I love the taste of green tea, but much like coffee, some people have to develop a taste for it. Also, for me, it seemed as though 15 cups of green tea a day caused my best weight loss outcome which is why I recommend getting some green tea supplements. It's very difficult, though possible, to drink 15 cups of GREEN TEA. Everyone requires a different amount. That was the amount which was BEST for me.

If you've never tried green tea I highly recommend it. I've tried almost every diet pill known, but none have worked like green tea. That's a promise you can take to the bank! LOL!

I can go all day and practically perfect my weight loss diet program.

But for some reason, late at night when my belly starts grumbling, it happens...SWEET TOOTH ATTACK!!!

Of course, I never go for a healthy treat like yogurt...no, no, no. I go for the diet sabotaging ice cream or the bowl full of Christmas stocking candy!!!

The best solution would be to stick to my weight loss program and march my booty straight to bed, but of course, I don't. I could almost swear that those naughty treats are calling my name!

Well if this has happened to you, and I'm sure it has (especially if you are a woman!), then I'm going to share my sweet tooth attack diet saving recipe! This recipe is so good it doesn't taste like it's diet. One serving of this cake is guaranteed to satisfy that sweet tooth and keep you going strong on your diet program!

Guiltless Banana Split Cake
(Okay, it's not completely guiltless. You can't sit and eat the entire 13/9 pan and then lick it clean and expect weight loss!!!)
Low-fat, Low-calorie, Low-sugar Recipe:

Ingredients:

Pillsbury 50% less sugar yellow cake mix
1/3 c of no sugar added applesauce
4 egg whites
2 small boxes or 1 large box of sugar free, fat free instant banana cream pudding
2 3/4 cups of skim milk
1 large can of crushed pineapples in it's own juice
3 large bananas
2 small tubs or one large tub of lite whipped topping (can also use sugar free)
maraschino cherries (optional) adds calories
crushed pecans (optional) adds calories and fat

Directions:

In a large bowl make the cake mix using 1 1/4 cups of water, 1/3 c of no sugar added applesauce in place of the oil, and 4 egg whites in place of the 3 full eggs. Cook cake in a 13/9 cake pan following the directions on the box. Let cake cool completely. While cake is cooling, mix the 2 boxes of pudding with 2 3/4 cups of skim milk and put in refrigerator.

After cake is cool, spread the pudding evenly over the cake. Strain the pineapple of it's juice and spread it evenly over the pudding. Cover the entire surface of the cake with banana slices (goes on top of crushed pineapple). Finish by evenly spreading the lite whipped topping over the bananas and you're ready to go!!! It's quick, easy, and a great treat for you while you're on your weight loss diet program!

Keep refrigerated...16 servings...each serving has approximately 265 calories.

A couple of other tricks for a sweet tooth attack while on your weight loss diet program: Buy some sugar free jello and lite or sugar free whipped topping. Get a few small glasses and layer them with the sugar free jello and whipped topping, cover, and keep them in the refrigerator for when you need something sweet.

Also, I like to keep a box of the no sugar added natural fruit Popsicles in the freezer for when I get the munchies. They satisfy the cravings that could destroy your diet.
