Anyone have any really good, out of the ordinary weight loss tips?

Answer 1

Here's a really good way to look and feel 10 lbs lighter.

Chin up.
Shoulders back.
Chest out.
Stomach sucked.
Buns tucked.

Breathe deeply from your gut.
Inhale through your nose all the way into your gut.
Exhale through your mouth pushing the air out from your gut.

You'll look and feel 10 lbs lighter instantly.

Answer 2

Don't know how unordinary these are but...

- Don't eat after 7 p.m. at night. If you stick to this, you cut out late night snacks, which are a killer for adding weight.

- While you are watching TV, don't just sit there. Move your arms around, get up and walk around the room, do jumping jacks, stand up and sit down. All you want to do is make sure you are NOT just sitting there watching TV. ANY activity is better than none.

- If you have one, take your dog for a walk every day. It will greatly benefit your dog, also. If you do not have a dog, take a walk anyway. It doesn't have to be very far. Just take a walk however far you want. Just do more than you have been and you will feel better and start burning more energy than previously.

- Take the stairs whenever possible. No more elevators.

I also recommend you read this book called Fit Over 40 that has majorly improved the quality of my life. You can get it at:

Hope you find what you are looking for.

Detoxifying your body, changing your diet and incorportating a daily exercise routine is the best way to lose weight. By detoxifying, you cleanse your body of the toxins that we collect through the foods we eat, the fluids we drink and the air we breathe. These toxin accumulate in our organs, especially our Liver and Kidneys, as well as in our lymph system, causing them to lose efficiency. Once the function of our Liver and Kidney begins losing their efficiency, our bodies begin to store more and more toxins in our lymph systems which then overflows into the fat cells of our bodies. Our system then compensates by creating more phlegm to try and contain the toxins. This is how weight gain begins. There are several good ways to detoxify your system but the best system I have come across is the Isagenix system.

Changing your diet will help to prevent some of the toxins from entering our system. Heavily processed foods (like most fast food and all junk food) should be avoided as much as possible. Including a wide variety of fruits and vegetables (preferrably organic) and limiting your consumption of meats, particulary of beef and pork, will help to cut out some of the toxins that come through our food. When you purchase meat, be particular about what brands you buy. Do some research and make sure that the meat you are buying is free of artifial enhancements like growth hormones and fillers. Eating healthy can be financially expensive but the alternative, while more convienient certainly, can be VERY Expensive when it comes to your health.

Finally, incorporating a daily exercise program will not only help you lose weight, but will also have the benefit of boosting your energy, helping ensure a good night's sleep and clarifying your thought process. It's a Win-Win-Win step of losing weight and keeping it off! Yoga is a great way to fullfill your exercise quota. It can be done daily and there are Yoga styles to fit vertually everyone! You can join a group or do it at home. Whatever you choose to do for exercise, remember that the idea is not to build strength but to increase your flexibility and your body's ability to maintain equal flow of all the body's fluids.

If you incorporate all three things in your life, you will have tremendous success with losing weight and ensuring that the weight stays off. I have yet to see this combination fail! Good Luck!
