Why Diets And Exercise Don’t Work For Belly Fat

By Eric Berg Your belly fat might not be coming from the food you eat. Not all fat is the same because certain body shapes come from different sources. When hormones get stressed a person can start to accumulate fat in the midsection as described in Dr. Bergs new book called, The 7 Principles of Fat Burning. Dr. Berg states the main reason why the body accumulates fat (or potential energy) in the stomach has to do with the bodys survival mechanism reacting to stress. This is how it works; Under stress the body doesnt burn fat. Instead it burns sugar explaining why cravings to carbohydrates are so common. After sugar gets used up, the body burns its protein reserves muscles, not fat. This is the adrenal glands at work, forcing the body to break down muscle protein; first in the legs (thigh muscles) and next in the buttocks. Hormones are re-directing the muscles into fat in the belly. This why so many people with sagging bellies have weak knees and legs while climbing stairs. The body is attempting to survive by storing fat around the vital organs, which just happen to be in your stomach. Dr. Berg describes one of the body types as the adrenal (pendulous hanging abdomen) in his book. Anyone can receive a free body type quiz on his web site. Because any and all stress worsens the adrenals (stress gland), exercise is too much stress. Adrenal body types who exercise too much actually gain weight. In fact, their legs get skinnier as their bellies get fatter. Dieting, cutting calories or being hungry also adds stress to the body worsening the condition. This is from the stress hormone called cortisol. Another interesting fact is that your adrenal hormones are made from cholesterol. Reducing dietary fats and cholesterol is very bad for the adrenal glands due the necessary raw material needed to build adrenal hormones.

Dr. Eric Berg, 18-year-veteran chiropractor specializing in nutritional research, has made breakthrough discoveries that isolate key principals in his new book The 7 Principles of Fat Burning. He has delivered over 2400 seminars and workshops to doctors and patients. In his book, Dr. Berg goes well beyond dictating a traditional counting-calories-and-exercise regimen, giving the reader a thorough understanding of how the body burns fat through the triggering of fat burning hormones.

Marketing You and Your Career

By Susan Fee Imagine if a business invested years into the research, design, and creation of a new product, and then failed to tell anybody about it. What if the company assumed (even expected) that consumers should discover their new product, just because it was great? Flawed logic, right? Yet, thats how many people treat their careers! They spend years learning a trade, gaining education, and writing resumes - but do nothing to promote themselves. In fact, they assume others should recognize them just because they show up and do a good job. What they dont assume is accountability for their own career. No matter what business youre in, YOU are the product! Here are six tips on how to market yourself from Positive First Impressions: 83 Ways to Establish Confidence, Competence, and Trust. Be Accountable. You, and only you, are responsible for your career. Its not enough to do what is required, or even go above and beyond. You must take the next step and let people know about your strengths and accomplishments! You might think its your boss job to notice all that you do. It would be nice to have that individual attention. But, the reality is, bosses have too much to do so why make your future someone elses responsibility? If key decision-makers dont your name, introduce yourself. Marketing, not Bragging. The thought of marketing yourself can feel uncomfortable if you associate it with bragging. Actually, the two couldnt be more different. Braggers put all the attention on themselves, boasting about how wonderful they are. Marketers focus on the needs of others and then share how they might be able to assist. When done properly, marketing is seen as being useful and helpful while bragging comes off as distasteful and self-focused. Its the difference between a telemarketer using high-pressure sales tactics to get you to buy versus really needing something and appreciating the assistance of a helpful sales person. Benefits, Benefits, Benefits. The most important distinction for marketing yourself is understanding the difference between features and benefits. Features are descriptive characteristics and skills (i.e. strong presentation skills or special computer training). Benefits are what those features can do for someone else (i.e. strong presentation skills means you could help earn the company more money through outside presentations). Features mean nothing unless you can show how they benefit others. Do you buy a product based on its features or what those features can do for you? Traditional resumes are full of features. Turn yours into benefits. Five minutes a day. Marketing is a long-term investment. The biggest payoff comes by investing a little bit everyday, even when you dont think its necessary. In fact, the most important time to market is when things are going well. Your confidence and passion are high, and thats contagious. Waiting until you need good press puts you in an underdog, desperate position. So, commit at least five minutes a day to the marketing of your career. Think of it as self-preservation! Name Recognition. When someone hears your name, what three words do they associate with you? People make associations based on what they see and hear about you. While you cant control other people, you can control what you share about yourself. If you want to be thought of as trustworthy, then dont gossip. If you want to be known as a problem solver, then share ideas, not complaints. Behave consistently with the image you want to project. Spread the Word. Take action today. Here are a few ideas to get you started: 1. Use your e-mails signature file to attach a description that positions you in a beneficial way. That could be your job title, a personal vision statement like, Excellence with Every Endeavor, or an invitation to visit your Web site. 2. Update your voice-mail message daily. Why? Because most people dont! It takes all of 30-seconds to change your greeting to include the day and date, and let callers know when to expect a return call. Or, if youre out, let people know so that theyre not angry with you for not calling back. I promise you, if you do this one step, people will respond in a positive way! 3. If your company or professional organization has a newsletter, offer to write a short article. Putting your name in print next to helpful information positions you as an expert. Be sure to keep a copy for a success portfolio. 4. Be on the lookout for tips or articles that could be helpful to your colleagues. Cut them out and pass them along with a note (and business card) saying, Saw this and thought of you. Hope you can use it. Again, its a subliminal way to position yourself as a benefit to others. 5. Any time youve received an award or accomplished new training, submit a short press release along with your picture to the business section of your local newspaper, college alumni magazine, company newsletters, and associations. 6. When people casually ask, How are you? use the opportunity to slip in one line about something youre doing. An example is, Im doing great. I just attended a sales seminar, and Im excited about what I learned. How are you? If what youre doing piqued the listeners interest, youll be invited to share more with a follow-up question.

Protopic Cancer Risk Lawyer

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Anna_Henningsgaard] Anna Henningsgaard The FDA issued a warning in July of 2005 on two skin creams, Elidel (pimecrolimus) and Protopic (tacrolimus) to all ages. Recent animal studies have found that Protopic causes lymphomas and skin cancers in an unknown percentage of users. The FDA recommends that healthcare providers be very careful prescribing and applying these medications. Protopic belongs to the class of medications called immunosuppressants. This kind of medication is used on short-term basis to treat atopic dermatitis, or eczema. The cream works on certain areas of the immune system that may be involved in developing this serious skin condition. It is used only if other, safer treatments have not worked or cannot be used for some reason. It is sometimes prescribed for off-label uses, but you should discuss this with your doctor and make sure you know why you are using Protopic. The risk this drug poses to developing children is as of yet unknown. While a lower dosage Protopic cream is available for younger children, the FDA recommends that children and pregnant women refrain from using the medication. If you are a patient using Protopic cream and you have developed skin abnormalities, lymphomas, or skin caner, talk to a lawyer right away. Since the FDA has recognized Protopic as a dangerous drug, you could be entitled to damages from the drug company. To find out why you need a [http://www.hugesettlements.com/articles/dangerous-drugs-lawyer.htm] Protopic lawyer and read articles about dangerous drugs and [http://www.hugesettlements.com/articles/dangerous-drugs-lawyer.htm] Protopic side effects, visit our website at hugesettlements.com.

Transplanting Trees

By Paul Burke Problems with transplanting: Once a homeowner decides to add a new tree or shrub to their landscape there are several factors to consider when doing this. Three of the most important factors are selection of the plant, where they will plant, and the actual process of planting the new addition. Trees and shrubs not planted correctly will show signs of slow growth, poor colour, decline and or may grow too large for the location you have chosen. Selection: Many times a homeowner will be tempted to use a lower priced tree or shrub. Often these plants will have an underdeveloped root structure that is unable to support the plant. The root structure may be overgrown from being in a container too long. It may have broken branches or damaged bark. Ensure the plant is suited for the hardiness zone you live in. Check with a local nursery if you are unsure of which zone you live in. If you choose a tree or shrub that will outgrow the location you have chosen, move it to another location. Try to imagine what the plant will look like in 15-20 years, this will aid in your selection of location. By doing this you will cut down on the need for excessive pruning in later years. Generally trees and shrubs of poorer quality will be slow to establish themselves, they will exhibit signs of reduced vigor, die-back, and poor growth. Choosing your site: Characteristics of a location will also contribute to transplant problems. Almost all trees and shrubs need a well-drained soil that is moist. Many areas within an urban environment are poorly drained. The soil pH level may be unsuitable for the tree or shrub you have selected. Most trees and shrubs also require a specific sun and shade schedule. A poorly chosen site will affect a tree or shrub in many ways. Poor growth, and or poor colour will occur. Generally speaking trees and shrubs in poor locations will also not respond favourably to a good fertilizer program or good cultural practices. How to plant: By planting incorrectly you dramatically increase the chance of your new tree or shrub failing. Several things that can go wrong are as follows. Many times the homeowner will plant too deep or too shallow. By planting too deep you have a good chance of suffocating the roots. This is caused by oxygen deprivation. Planting too shallow can cause exposure of the root structure. This will cause drying out of the root system and kill the plant. Watering improperly is another problem encountered by the homeowner. By watering too much you run the risk of root decay or you have the potential to drown the roots. By watering too little the plant becomes stressed and could eventually die. Leaving wire, string, rope, or burlap on the plant can encourage girdling which can eventually kill the plant in later years. Improper staking can cause the plant to be blown over in severe weather. If you leave the staking material on too long you once again run the risk of girdling. Solving the problem: When you are planting your new tree or shrub ensure you correct as many of these problems as possible. Do not purchase plants with poorly developed root structures. Ensure the plant is compatible with the zone in which you live. Solve any drainage and pH problems before you transplant your new addition. Remove all burlap, wire, string, or rope that has the potential to cause girdling in later years. Make sure you plant at the proper depth. Generally you do this so the top roots are just covered by soil. Water deeply and infrequently. This will encourage your new plant to develop deep roots that will aid in stability in the years to come. Water slowly as this will enable more moisture to be taken in by the plant. Watering quickly causes run-off and is just wasting your time and money. Stake your plant if it is in an exposed area to wind. Remember to remove the stakes and wire in the second year to prevent girdling. Use a good fertilization program throughout the life of your new additions. Water and prune correctly. By alleviating these problems you will ensure the good health and appearance of your new trees or shrubs. Paul is a Certified Pesticide Applicator in the province of Alberta, Canada.

How Do You Prevent Sabotage

By Josue Cano Have you ever gone on a diet and decided to lose weight and get in shape? Maybe you went forward with your goal and started eating healthier and working out. Your first couple of days you were feeling good about yourself. You feel proud and maintain your current rhythm. Then, comes weekends where you go out with friends and hangout at places you know you are easily tempted by the choices on the menu. Before you know it, you sabotage. You start asking yourself…why? ‘Why can’t I be disciplined?’ ‘Why did I just eat that junk food?’ When you ask yourself those questions your brain will come up with an answer. Usually the answer is you don’t have will power. Or you don’t have motivation. You then rationalize yourself that you messed up and that you just didn’t have the will power to follow through on your goals. Your self-esteem goes down and you’re not as motivated to pursue your goals. Eventually, you’ll lose all motivation to continue forward and quit. What can we learn and improve on following situation. I’ll tell you. What we do know is this; when you ask yourself a question your brain will respond by giving you an answer. We also know that asking ourselves why is useless. Asking yourself ‘why’ is the most useless thing that you can do!!! So don’t do it. Instead, ask yourself a more empowering question that is going to really help you and not make you feel worse. One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is how. Asking yourself, “How can I overcome this situation? How can I stay focused so I don’ lose motivation?” Ask how. I am reminded of a situation where I was in a stressful situation where I was with a large group of friends from church and we all went out to eat. We went to a pizza place and all I knew is that I didn’t want to feel the guilty feelings by sabotaging my goals. I didn’t want to experience the consequences of weight gain by participating with my friends. What did I do? I asked myself how. I said, “How can I overcome this?” So I made an active choice to not eat pizza with them. And also, I didn’t judge my friends for doing so. Did I want to eat pizza? Absolutely. Did I eat pizza? Nope. But the stress of wanting to eat pizza was very tempting. To experience the pleasure of eating that cheesy, greasy pizza was very apparent. In all, I didn’t sabotage. After everyone was done eating pizza my sister shared with me that she felt guilty after eating pizza. I was the only one who didn’t participate with them eating pizza. How did I feel afterward? Did I feel like I missed out? I felt so good about myself for keeping my goals and I didn’t feel like I missed out. Actually, I had gained a notch on my scale of self-esteem. And I felt proud of myself for being able to overcome such a stressful situation. How? By asking how. “Cap” Josue Cano B.A. C.S.C.S., is a specialized strength and boxing trainer working 1-on-1 with clients who just authored the book: Don’t wait get in S.H.A.P.E.: drop body fat fast and get fit quick.

How to Seduce a Man

By Amy Waterman The great seductresses of history and legend - Cleopatra, Eve, the Sirens - were able to tempt men to abandon honor, virtue, wife and even life itself to satisfy their desires. Although a seductress’s great beauty was certainly a factor in winning men over to her charms, more often it was her cunning knowledge of human psychology. Seduction is a specialized form of persuasion that uses a man’s weaknesses (such as his pride, sexual desire, or susceptibility to flattery) to convince him to do something which he would otherwise not do. A woman in love with a married man needs all the arts of seduction to convince him to break his marriage vows. A woman who wants to steal a man away from his current partner needs great skill in these arts as well. If you wish to seduce a man, you will be faced with the challenge of convincing him to do something that may be against his principles. At the same time, you will be aided by the simplicity of your request. You are not asking that he fall in love with you or even marry you. The definition of seduction is “to persuade to have sexual intercourse.” Be wary: the skills of seduction are distinct to those required to make a man fall in love with you. When you seduce a man, you will make him crazy for you with lust. He will be intoxicated and infatuated with you. However, infatuation is different from the genuine love that bonds committed couples. Seduction casts a spell that soon wears off. If you wish to seduce a man, you must first discover his weak points. Is he proud? Does he like being seen with beautiful women? Does he say that his partner is always nagging him? Does he wish, more than anything, to simply be with someone who asks nothing of him? Knowing these “buttons” will help you in creating your seduction plan. Many men live stressful lives with pressure to perform coming at them at all sides. One successful seduction technique is to position yourself as the woman who is there to listen to him, to nod understandingly, and to comfort him when he feels misunderstood by the world. Never presume to give him advice or criticize his behavior; instead, allow him to talk without interruption. Comfort him by putting a sympathetic hand on his arm or giving him a small backrub. Reassure him that he is, indeed, a competent, strong, capable man. Tease him gently to bring him out of his dark thoughts and into a lighthearted place. He will appreciate you for being the only one who understands him, the one who can make him laugh when he’s feeling down. Your seduction success will depend on how well you can distinguish yourself from the other women in his life. You listen to him. You never nag. You fill needs that his wife never would. You are always happy to see him. You make him laugh. You take him out of his daily life and bring him into a magical place where he is a king who can do nothing wrong. But always remember: you can make a man become infatuated with you, but you cannot make him love with you. Genuine love comes from a very different place, one of honest disclosure, openness, and trust. It’s your choice.

LDS Dating - Make It Easier on Yourself

By Christopher Luck Is there a way to know if you’re dating someone who believes in the LDS reliegion before I get too far into the relationship? One of the hardest things to do in life is to find a great mate with similar beliefs. Finding someone with whom you want to spend the rest of your life with is a pretty big deal. It would be nice to know, though, if the person is LDS (ladder day saints) like me before I get too far into things. LDS dating is not any easier than dating in any other particular race or religion, but that does not change the fact that it is a challenge. Is there a way to make LDS dating easier, though? The answer is to find ways to know if your date is LDS before you get too far. LDS dating or any other specific dating can be best sorted out through the use of the ever-popular personal ad. There are basically two kinds of personal ad: print and online. The two types do not differ all that much in terms of how they help LDS dating, so it is up to you to determine which will work best for you. One option for expanding your LDS dating pool is the newspaper personal ad. The advantage is that it can be, by the very nature of a local paper, concentrated into a particular area. If you are interested in LDS dating locally, a print ad will concentrate only as far as the paper reachs. Newspapers do, though, often charge by the word and only allow you to then run your ad for a certain amount of time. So take that into consideration in your decision Your second option in terms of LDS dating personal ads is to use a service on the internet. An online ad will expand your search to, basically, the world. There are even sites dedicated specifically to those wishing to take part only in LDS dating. Most online personal ad sites offer to run your ad for a monthly fee and others are even free. Shop around to find the one you feel will be most effective for you. No matter what method of LDS dating personal ad you use, there are some things to keep in mind when you create it. Though you will be tempted to embellish or flat out lie; be honest in your ad. If for no other reason, keep in mind the disappointment you would feel if your date had lied. Second, be brief since nobody wants to read your autobiography. Finally, be clear about what it is you are seeking. If you are interested in only LDS mates, then say so. It will save you and other people from wasting time. Dating is difficult and it always will be. Dating and trying to be specific within your own race or religion and can make things even more difficult since you do cut your field, but you have to stick to your guns. So, if LDS dating is your goal then it can be very helpful to find ways of knowing about your dates religious affiliations before you get out with them and realize you are too different. A personal ad can help potential mates knows about you as well as your desire to continue LDS dating only. Choose the type of ad that will work best for you, but which will offer you the opportunity to make clear your wants. Hopefully by taking out a personal ad you will be able to find LDS dating just a little easier.

Anxiety Treatment - The Natural Remedy for Anxiety Relief

By Steve Adair L-Theanine, naturally occurring in green tea, proves effective in dealing with anxiety symptoms and providing anxiety relief Anxiety is a state of intense fear, uncertainty, uneasiness, or apprehension due to anticipation of an imagined or real threatening future event. Anxiety can be both physically and psychologically devastating to the Anxiety sufferer’s life. Anxiety is often sub-categorized according to the focus of the perceived threat. There is social anxiety, separation anxiety, dating anxiety, performance anxiety, math anxiety, etc. Stress and anxiety often go hand in hand and can result in anxiety depression as the individual feels powerless to receive any anxiety help. There are a variety of anti-anxiety treatments to consider in overcoming anxiety. For some, anxiety medications prove to be a source of anxiety relief. Other’s prefer not to use any of the anti-anxiety drugs and opt for more natural cures for anxiety management. These may include herbs for anxiety, acupuncture anxiety treatments, anxiety vitamins, aromatherapy for anxiety relief, even hypnosis has has proved beneficial overcoming anxiety. This article discusses the perhaps little known amino acid L-Theanine as a natural remedy for anxiety relief. L-Theanine is a unique free form amino acid found only in the tea plant and in the mushrooms Xerocomus badius and certain species of genus Camellia, C. japonica and C. sasanqua. Often drinkers of green tea report a feeling of calmness they feel after ingesting a cup or two even though green tea has roughly half the caffeine of coffee. This is due to the high L-Theanine content. In addition to reducing anxiety symptoms, studies have shown L-Theanine may be effective in promoting concentration, supporting the immune system, improving learning performance, lowering blood pressure, increasing formation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, and increasing brain dopamine levels among other positive benefits with no known downside. Studies in cooperation with Taiyo Kagaku Co., The University of Shizuoka, and The Family Planning Institute of Japan have shown that women taking 200 mg L-Theanine daily have lower incidence of PMS symptoms. These symptoms include physical, mental, and social symptoms. Overall, a significant alleviation of PMS symptoms by L-Theanine was observed. While still under investigation, L-Theanine appears to have a role in the formation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA). GABA blocks release of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, playing a key role in the relaxation effect. Everyone knows the effects stress and anxiety can have on an individual’s physical state of well-being. Fascinating neurochemistry research has revealed that given a shot of GABA essentially turned back the clocks in the brains of older monkeys, whose brain function briefly operated at levels normally seen in monkeys less than half their age. GABA, or gamma-amino butyric acid, is a neurotransmitter chemical that is essential for optimizing how brain cells transmit messages to each other and acts to put a damper on unwanted brain signaling activity. Although GABA’s age-related decline has not been documented in humans, a host of studies in mammals, including other primates, suggests that a similar process is at work in people. Monkeys ages 26 and 32 — considered old age for monkeys — that got GABA directly delivered to their neurons responded to visual patterns, such as flashing vertical and horizontal lines, in much the same way as monkeys aged 7 to 9 years old did. Without GABA delivery, the monkeys’ aged brains had more difficulty firing neurons that specifically gauge various aspects of depth perception, motion and color. Instead, older monkeys have more random firings that make it difficult to observe visual nuances. In younger monkeys, GABA had no effect since their brains already had optimal GABA functioning. L-Theanine is considered to be safe based on its historical use as a component of tea and on favorable toxicology studies. Tea is the most consumed beverage worldwide after water, and has been consumed for thousands of years by billions of people. It is estimated that a heavy tea drinker (6-8 cups daily) will consume between 200 to 400 mg of L-Theanine daily. While dosage for depression and anxiety disorder remain individual, it is recommended to take 100 to 200 mg 1 to 3 times daily for anxiety relief. Based on the results of clinical studies, it has been established that L-Theanine is effective in single dosages in the range of 50-200 mg. It is suggested that subjects with higher levels of anxiety take a dose at the higher end of the effective range (100 - 200 mg) for overcoming anxiety.

Why Can’t I Lose Weight?

By Ross Gallo We have all been there. When we were younger, we could eat like a horse and never gain weight. Now 10, 20, or 30 years later, if we look at food, we gain weight. This report on weight loss tips will give you the insight that you knew all along, but with your day-to-day struggles to lose weight you were blinded by your lack of weight loss. We will cover 3 main points that will help you lose weight 1. O Metabolism, Metabolism! wherefore art thou Metabolism? Going back to the time when you were younger, you were full of energy. Your metabolism was high and running around as a kid or young adult you just burned calories right and left. Your body was like a hummingbird, just give me sugar and I can still lose weight. But now, we have aged a little bit (some more than others) and we are not as active as we once were. Instead of walking or biking down to the local store, we jump into our SUV and drive there. Worse yet we order it online. Work today is more sedentary than it was for our parents. Weight loss tip number 1, get up, and get moving. If you haven’t exercised in some time start off by walking. There is one girl in town that walked about 30 minutes every day and lost 200 pounds after a year and a half. 2. Come on everybody, we can lose weight using the latest fad. I have tried them all, you have tried them all. I bet we both still need to lose weight. How many times have you read where someone lost 50 pounds only to gain back 75. The low fat, no fat, no carb, cabbage soup, latest Hollywood craze, chew it and spit it out diet, come on get real. IF, you were honest with yourself you know the only way to lose weight is to eat less calories than what you burn. It is that simple. Everything that the late night hucksters will tell you boils down to that. Weight loss tip number 2, eat a balanced healthy diet. If you have problems with portion control try some of the excellent frozen food products that really do taste good. They ain’t your momma’s TV dinners. 3. Check your emotions at the door. Easier said than done, right. We all know that people turn to comfort food when they feel down. That piece of chocolate or that bowl of ice cream, yum. Stop it, you know the connection between emotions and food. Emotions are a big reason why we are not slim, trim and racy. Weight loss tip number 3. Fool yourself. Use some of these tricks to trick yourself. When you feel the urge because of the emotional roller coaster, * Call a friend * Go for a walk * Read * Take a Shower * Drink water I told my wife, if it is in the house I will eat it, if it isn’t I won’t crave it. Well I hope this small article helps you to lose all the weight you want to lose. Remember these three things. 1. Get moving with exercise 2. Balanced approach to your diet 3. Don’t use food as your excuse, use it for the proper fuel you need. Your success is now up to you, I wish you all the success in your weight loss program.
