Weight Loss Motivation

Looking at Jennifer Hudson before and after weight loss success story, it's easy to be envious of her amazing results. Jennifer Hudson, who was once really overweight, has taken the center stage among celebrities who were able to beat down excess weight. Her new shape is really inspiring, especially for those who are emotional eaters and continue to battle weight issues. Although many have accused Jennifer of paying huge sums of money to get the best trainers at her beck and call, she confirmed the fact that getting trimmed down is not a matter of having the best set of trainers around you. According to her it all boils down to your mindset - that is. YOU being willing to fight hard toward achieving that dream size. It is worth noting that all the time she was busy battling with being overweight she was the one cooking her meals too, as against speculations that she had all that done by hired professionals.

When you eat sugar its hard to lose weight, and the more you eat the harder it gets. Sugar promotes insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, tooth decay and gum disease, to name just a few and of course several of these conditions are intimately tied to weight gain. For example, even periodontal disease has been linked to the development of diabetes. If you decide to quit sugar the obvious sources are easy...no more desserts, pastries or sodas. Of course you'll avoid many cereals, all candy and many packaged foods. But what about the sources of sugar you can't see? Is there much of that? Just how bad is it? First be aware of the various forms sugar can take: dextrose, glucose, sucrose, fructose, corn syrup, barley malt,honey, lactose, malto-dextrin and perhaps worst of all high fructose corn syrup found in sodas and many other soft drinks. Sugar is cheap and addictive, so food manufacturers know once you're hooked you'll come ba...

I am one of the most recent intermittent fasting success stories and I have learned how important it is figure out your body’s hunger patterns and eat appropriately. Instead of eating by the clock, we should be learning how to eat according to our body’s rhythms and needs. Sometimes we are eating in response to hunger, but many times we are eating due to stress, emotions or just because it’s “lunchtime.” I personally am surprised by how slow this concept is spreading. It is a game changer as far as I’m concerned. Considering myself to be one of the intermittent fasting success stories for weight loss, I have been able to lose about 40 pounds eating this way. It is the best eating plan for weight loss that I have been able to stick with to accomplish my goals. I feel lighter and healthier all around because my body is able to recharge during my fasting times. Another perk to this way of eating is that there is no weighing food or food restrictions.

Franz loves stories like this! What a great thing when a young man like seventeen year old Nick Turnbeaugh, who once weighed two hundred and fifty pounds, decided to shed eighty seven of them and become an inspiring weight loss story! It's not so much how he did it but his attitude that makes this story worth sharing! It was about a year ago that Turnbeaugh looked in the mirror and wondered if he was this fat now, what was going to happen when he reached the age of thirty? He had been overweight as long as he could remember. It got so bad that he had to change schools when he was in junior high school because the kids teased him relentlessly. He says people don't realize how much that hurts. Turnbeaugh said that he has always loved food and eating. His dad could recall Nick at the age of five eating an entire loaf of bread. Nick had tried to lose weight at least ten times before but it would only last a few days and then it was back to his normally poor eati...
