Weight Loss Plateau

A weight loss plateau will occur to every dieter at some point due to the fact that the body wants to avoid starvation.  The body will automatically kick in to a response to avoid any danger it perceives and yes you can say your body does not like diets. The body being the perfect instrument it is has a mechanism to maintain an equal balance concerning the energy output and the calorie reduction.  This process is called equilibrium (homeostasis).  This is the one thing that will cause more dieters to reach for the yellow pages and consider liposuction which can be avoided as a remedy for a weight loss plateau.  Weight loss plateaus can be easily remedied by following these simple suggestions:

Recognize the fact that you most likely will experience a plateau and prepare for it.
No matter how often Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig warns you that you will face a weight loss plateau when it arrives you are not prepared. Depression sets in and you will be tempted to reach for the Milky Way candy bar. Hey, if I am not losing weight, why not?  Funny enough one Weight Watcher who lost her weight suggests a pig out day.  She said religiously she went to Burger King every week and had a hamburger.  The eating of one hamburger a week kept her body in homeostasis and she was able always to lose 1-1/2 to 2 pounds a week.

Change  your routine.
Never have the same routine day in and day out.  Zig zag the routine and the meals.  Never eat at the same time day after day. Eat only when you are hungry.  By changing your routine to different kinds of aerobic and toning exercises, you can ensure that your muscles are receiving a variety of different workouts and prevent plateauing. Weight loss tends to slow down when the body recognizes that it should not actually be losing that weight – a reaction to repetitive behavior. Prevent this by keeping a wide variety of exercises and workouts on hand and taking part in them regularly.

The acai berry has come to popularity lately with many top vegan practitioners, such as David Wolfe and with many doctors also, such as Dr. Perricone.  Dr. Perricone is famous for his skin diets and treatments.  It should be noted that Dr. Perricone sells a product called Super Berry Powder with Acai.  Dr. Perricone was one of the first to report the many benefits of this miraculous berry and he was recognized by the New York Times and Oprah as being in the forefront of knowledge for the acai berry.

The acai berry will start to deteriorate after 24 hours so only the residents of the Amazon Rain Forest can enjoy the berry in its fresh state, but it still needs to be processed.  The good news is that the frozen berry and the juice still maintain the vitamins and nutrients.  The acai berry has been processed into many forms such as super powder, supplements and frozen berry forms.  Even the seed itself is ground and used on plants.

According to David Wolfe (vegan expert) “Regular intake could decrease incidence of stroke, cancer, heart attack, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s diseases. It also increases metabolic rate which is ideal for those who wish to lose weight or simply manage their diet.”  Wolfe goes on to say, “It also promotes stronger bones, stability in mental health, oxygenates blood, and improves eye sight. Another interesting benefit of the product is its aphrodisiac property. It improves sexual performance and endurance.”

It is no wonder that many are rushing to stock up on the juice and super powder of this miraculous fruit.  But buyers beware, as many companies are making inferior products and the consumer is the one who is losing out.  Look for a good quality product that can be verified.
While the acai berry is one form of diet plan, and may be a viable lipo alternative, that does not mean you should stop your research with this plan only. Read more »

As long as there is food there will be overweight and out of shape people who mistakenly thought they could keep their weight in check.  Funny how the pounds creep up slowly and then take forever to take off.  Do you realize how much 3500 calories is?  That is how much you have to give up to lose one pound.  Ever look at the exercise schedule to see how much exercise you need to do to lose one pound?

• Running in place for one hour = 477 calories
• Doing aerobic exercises for one hour = 354 calories
• Stationary Bicycle at moderate exertion for one hour = 419 calories

Raking the lawn for one hour = 277 calories

Now take 3500 calories and divide by the above exercises and you will see that you need to do a lot of exercises to take off those few days of guilt eating.  With those excess calories in mind and a limited pocketbook, you too will look for liposuction alternatives.  A typical liposuction procedure can cost from $2600 to $12,000 (depending if multiple sections are worked on).  With many looking and wanting to have the procedures in the hospital, which is not covered by insurance policies, more and more are looking for safer, cheaper and less recovery times with lipoalternatives.

Liposuction procedures do have a high rate of complications and death.  19 out of 100,000 procedures will end in death. People dying in car accidents are only 16.1 per 100,000 so are you really ready to go under the knife today?  No, I did not think so.  So with lipoalternatives having a zero death ratio, more are looking to this safer alternative.
