So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Accelerate Your Metabolism and Increase your Fat Loss Rate

By Ricardo d Argence

Your acknowledgment of the need and desire to lose weight is the first and most difficult step on the path to weight loss. When your weight is of concern to you, the emotional and phyical toll it takes on you can be very stressful.

But people can have a difficult time realizing that in order to lose weight they actually should eat moe often throughout the day. A common strategy at the beginning of a diet is a drastic reduction in the amount and kinds of food eaten. However, that may in fact ultimately do more damage than produce any benefit.

Eating too little during the course of the day actually sets up your body for weight loss failure. By not eating enough you set your body up to have low energy throughout the day. Try to store as much fat as possible, which will thwart your weight loss attempts,your body will also go into starvation mode. You should also know that once you begin to keep yourself from eating you will have a greater food craving than if you were to just eat sensibly.

Your aim should be to remain fit and healthy through out your life. Our bodies possess a variety of survival mechanisms which serve to maintain the function of our bodily systems. These systems will automatically start up when your body gets the signal that it is needed. Among the most developed of our body's defense mechanisms is its reaction to the perception of starvation.

That you could sit down and eat whatever you want is not really realize by your internal mechanisms. You body will automatically go into starvation mode if it thinks that you are choosing not to eat enough calories to get through it's daily functions.

By keeping yourself from eating for too long between meals or by not eating enough throughout the day, your body's famine response will kick in automatically. When it does this, your metabolism instantly slows down, this means that you are not able to burn fat as effectively or quickly. When your goal is weight loss, having an efficient metabolism is an essential key to your success.

As a result of your eating habits you will start to lose the toned muscle instead of the fat. The muscles in your body will suffer and have problems with typical daily activites if you have a diet that is low in protein. The loss of lean muscle also causes your metabolic rate to diminish even further. Again reducing the amount of fat that your body is able to burn.

When you are looking to lose weight, ensuring that your metabolism is fully functioning is an essential step to ensuring your success. The key to keeping your metabolism up is to make sure that you are eating small meals about three hours apart. If you do that in coordination with a fitness program you are sure to quickly become the new you that you have always dreamed of being.
