100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #19 SUPPLEMENTS

                                                          100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                                        TIP #19 SUPPLEMENTS

     There is all sorts of talk about whether or not supplements are good or bad for you.  I believe that most supplements can be both good and bad depending on how the individual feels about them.  Follow your gut and intuition.  If something feels wrong and you feel like you shouldn't take it, don't.  And if something feels right, and you feel like this could make you feel good, then take it. 

     L-Carnitine is a great supplement to take.  It is an amino acid that helps break down fat and uses it for energy.  It is all natural and an essential amino acid.  L-Arginine is also an essential amino acid that helps repair muscle and is best taken after working out.  You can find L-Arginine inside of Nitric Oxide, which is another supplement you can take when you exercise.  This helps blood flow, use of oxygen, energy levels, muscle growth, mental focus, strength, endurance, and muscle repair after workouts.  It is in powder form (which I like the best) to be mixed and taken as a drink, or pill form.  There are more expensive brands at GNC, or you can go pick it up at Walmart, the name is N.O. Fury.  Obviously follow directions correctly and don't take too much.

     A daily multi vitamin is great to take as well.  One that I would suggest is Nature's Way "ALIVE!" it has 26 fruits and vegetables, as well as your daily vitamins, including a mixture of berries, acai, and wheat grass, which are all EXCELENT for your health.  Even though you shouldn't depend on a pill to give you your daily fruit and vegetable intake, this can really help out. 

     These can also be bought at walmart for under $10.  You'll find niacin, B vitamins, Biotin, Iodine, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E which are all used for weight and/or beauty.   Biotin and Vitamin E will keep your skin, hair, and nails healthy and growing, B vitamins will keep energy levels up, Niacin and Vitamin C help to get rid of toxins, and  Iodine can help you to lose weight, and is especially helpful if you have a thyroid problem.  There are many benefits to all of these vitamins that I don't have time to list, but since many people don't know the benefits of iodine, I have left a link to an article if you want to read about it.  You can find it here http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/35.html

     Cinnamon can also be found in pill form and can be taken to break down the sugar in your body.  Cayenne pepper (also in pill form) can increase metabolism.  Remember that any of these supplements I mention can be found at walmart for very low prices, but should never be taken in excess.  Too much of anything can lead to health problems as well.

     Protein shakes are another great supplement to add to your diet, and it is a good idea to use meal replacement shakes.  Just make sure that the ones you purchase aren't filled with sugar.  Slim fast is one of those that is full of sugar, suprisingly enough to some people.  Right size smoothie is a good one (sold at Albersons and online http://www.rightsizeonline.com/ ) and Jillian Michaels from The Biggest Loser has shakes and protein powder that you can buy.  There are many others that are great, not just these, just check the back and make sure the sugar is low and it has everything else you are looking for such as the protein and nutrients. 

     Jillian Michaels also has fat burners and detox systems that are only to be taken for about a week, and they seem to be the safest to me.  But again, you have to trust your gut, and if your gut says not to, don't.  You can visit her website for a free 7 day trial at http://www.jillianweightloss.com/membership

     Remember that not all supplements are going to be good for you, and if you don't like how they make you feel, don't take them, but that also doesn't mean that taking supplements is a bad thing.  They can be great and help move things along faster in a healthy way, as long as they are not taken in excess, you follow the directions and stick to the more natural products. 

So, TIP #19, supplements can be a great thing to take to help you move things along, and help you to be healthier, stronger, and give more energy.  Some of the ones I suggest are L-Carnitine, L-Arginine, Nitric Oxide, Nature's Way "ALIVE" vitamins (as well as iodine which is found in these vitamins), Cinnamon, Cayenne Pepper, protein shakes, low sugar meal replacement shakes, (such as Jillian Micheals or right size smoothie) and some natural fat burner and detox pills such as Jillian Michaels line of supplements.  Remember to trust your gut and your instincts, never over-do it, and always discontinue use if you don't like the way you feel.  All of these can be found fairly cheap at Walmart as well.  Take these responsibly and you'll be burning fat in no time!

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #18 KEEPING LOGS

                                                              100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                                             TIP #18 KEEPING LOGS

     There are a few different types of logs that you should be keeping to ensure your success.  For one thing,  you should have your exercise routine written out for where you have easy access to it.  This can be on your computer, or a large desk calender.  And everyday that you accomplish it, you should highlight it, check it off, put a star next to it, or some type of indication that you have achieved this daily goal.  If you slip off of your exercise routine for a long time, I would start over from day one. (remember, you are suppose to be doing a little extra each day, pumping it up a little more so there is no plateau, if you get away from your routine for too long, you might find it too much of a challenge to get back in the swing of things and give up - if you find it easy to get back in the swing, then keep going at it, don't regress if you don't have to)

     It is better to have a daily routine as well, so have a daily action plan.  Decide what you are going to be doing for the day, and write it all out.  Your routine can change from day to day according to what your schedule is, but write out a daily action plan each day.  Those who wake up in the morning, think about what needs to be done, decide what they have to do, and write it down on a piece of paper (called an action plan) are more likely to succeed.  Remember to put this paper somewhere where you can look at it frequently, and when one of your actions is done, cross it off the list and be proud of yourself for your accomplishment.

     An action plan could go like this

1. Do exercise routine for atleast 1 hour
2. Add fruits and vegetables to every meal
3. Read affirmations
4. Read goals
5. Visualise for 30 minutes
6. Meditate for 30 minutes

and so on .... you can even add in there the erronds that you need to get done for the day to better plan out your day.  You don't need to do them in order, but keep looking at your list so you don't forget what needs to be done, remember to cross it off when you have done it as well.

     Another log is the affirmations log that we talked about.  Another log is your goals that we talked about.  You even want to keep a log of everything you ate that day, or plan out what your meals are going to be.  This all may seem like a lot of work, but once you get use to eating a certain way and living a certain way, you may find that you don't need to keep logs on everything.  This will get easier with time.

     Also keep a folder, portfolio, computer file, or what have you, with photos of people that have a body type that you want.  Remember that it is important NOT to feel bad when you look at these photos.  You have to feel good, you have to feel like that is your body and your reward for doing all this work.  If you feel jealousy or resentment, or a feeling that you can't have that, or even a feeling of "I wish I could have that" you are going in the opposite direction.  This will either keep you your same size or it could even make you gain weight!  You want to feel good, empowered, proud of yourself, and you want to feel like you are not only worthy of accomplishing your goals, but more than capable.  Feel like that is your body as a reward for your efforts, and not a body that you wish to have or that you hope to have soon.

     All of these logs are to keep you on track and going in the right direction.  They shouldn't feel like work, you should be happy to look at your progress, they should make you feel good and empowered.  Make sure to always feel this way, and document your plans and your accomplishments.  Have seperate notebooks for each one, and put them all somewhere that is easy to access, start your day out by looking at each one.

     You can choose not to do this, but you should make getting in shape your main priority right now.  There is nothing better in life then to feel good, and if you don't feel good because your body isn't where you want it to be, then right now, there is nothing more important than getting your body in the shape you want it to be in.  You'll find it easier to do EVERYTHING else in your life once your body is in order, and if it continues to stay out of order, you will find EVERYTHING a lot harder then it has to be.  Make this priority right now, change your body and change your life.

So, TIP #18, keep a log of your daily exercise plan and make sure to highlight it or give some type of emphasis to it when you finish it, you should be proud.  Keep a log of your daily meals, what you plan to eat and what you actually ate, don't cheat or lie, this is for you so be honest.  Keep a log of affirmations and read them daily, add to them when you feel the need to.  Keep a log of short term and long term goals, read them daily and you can even add or change these when you feel you want to go in a different direction.  You have the right to change your mind.  Make a daily action plan so that you can stay on track each and everyday.  Keep a file with photos of people who have a body type that you want, look at it daily, feel as though that is you and that is your reward for your efforts, and keep it somewhere where you can access it easily.  Keep these daily logs until they become second nature and you'll be burning fat automatically before you know it.

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #17 CONNECTING WITH POWER

                                                            100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                               TIP #17 CONNECTING WITH POWER

      I am talking about connecting with both the power in you and a higher power.  This was one of the 13 steps to having anything in the last tip I gave you.  There is an energy that flows through and around all of us, and we are connected through it.  If you'd like to know more about this, lean about scientific studies proving it, or get detailed information, look up Quantum Physics on google, yahoo, or your home page, and you will find tons of information.

     No matter what our beliefs are, they can all work for you using this tip, connecting with power.  If you believe in God, connect with God, if you believe in Jesus, connect with Jesus, if you believe in Buddah, connect with Buddah, and the same goes for if you believe in the universe, in an energy that connects us, Ala, Rah, or if you don't believe in anything at all, atleast believe in yourself!

     You can connect with any of these powers, or you can connect with the power within yourself, and if you search for guidence and answers, or help in getting in shape (or whatever it is) you will find it.  It doesn't really matter what the TRUTH behind anything we believe is, it just matters that you believe in something. 

     So many religions have wars over who is right and wrong, it's very silly to say the least, because they really believe in THE SAME THING.   It doesn't matter if it is God or Ala you believe in, it is the same thing.  I know some people might take offense to that, but those people need to open up their minds a little, it is the same thing with different names.  It is a higher power that we pray to for help, guidence, support, answers, peace, or whatever it is we pray for, that we believe is responsible for creation.

So, TIP #17, connect with a higher power, even if that power is the power within yourself, connect with it, ask for help, ask for guidence, ask for what it is that you want and expect to get an answer.  It is great to do this during meditation, but connect and expect an outcome.

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #16 THE IMPORTANCE OF FEELING GOOD

                                                      100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                      TIP #16 THE IMPORTANCE OF FEELING GOOD

     I keep mentioning in other tips that you have to feel good.  And I keep mentioning that the releasing of endorphins can help you to burn fat and feeling good causes these to release.  But there are a ton of other reasons why feeling good is so important.

     Feeling good gives you energy, you are more likely to exercise and experience life when you feel good, you will have less stress (and stress adds on pounds) when you feel good, saratonine and endorphins are released giving you relaxation, calm, and happiness, and you are more likely to attract not only positive situations, but also positive outcomes, when you feel good.

     Did you know that you can have anything you want in life, and a big part of getting anything is feeling good.  There are other parts to it as well, and some of those key ingredients to having ANYTHING you want are ....

     1. You must have a burning desire to make it yours
     2. You must EXPECT it to be yours and EXPECT it to happen without a doubt
     3. You must believe that you are worthy of having whatever it is that you are wanting
     4. You must believe that it is already yours and act as though it is already in your posession
     5. You must be positive and only talk, think, and speak about what it is you are wanting in a positive   maner, leaving out everything it is you do not want - never talk about what you don't want again.
     6. Do everything you possibly can to make it yours, act as though it were impossible to fail, stop at nothing and put productive action into any moment you can.
     7. Reach for happy thoughts and feel good thoughts.  Make sure you are feeling good ALL THE TIME
The more you feel good, the more likely it is to be yours.
     8. Everyday, visualise and see yourself already in posession of it, make sure this is a detailed visualisation, use your imagination, and feel like you are actually physically there.
     9. Practice practice practice, the more you practice, the more of an expert you become.  You can use trial and error, don't be afraid of mistakes, mistakes are learning stones, use them as that and practice
    10. Don't care about what others think or say, it doesn't make sense to let their opinions get in your way.
    11. Have clearly, precise and very detailed goals and action plans written out (that you know you can reach) and give yourself time limits to reach them by - goals should be in steps, believable to you, and you should work hard to make sure you reach them by their time limit.  You should have short term and long term goals, and keep them in mind at all times, while concentrating on taking steps of your short term goals with daily action plans.
     12. Constantly be looking at your goals, everyday, keep reminding yourself what needs to be done, make sure you also read and write a daily action plan to carry these goals out and stick to them.
     13. Meditate, you don't realise how important meditation is until you start using it and see how well it works for you.  Use meditation for relaxation, to clear your mind, and also for mental re-programming.  You can use meditation to change your thoughts and find solutions to problems you seek answers to.
     14. Connect with a higher power (whatever it is that you believe that power is - God, Ala, Buddah, Jesus, your dead relatives, energy itself, the universe, whatever it is there is, there is some force of energy around us and through us, connect with it and ask it for help, guidence, and direction and expect to get an answer)
     15. Never stop learning, keep researching, studying and learning about whatever it is that you want.

     If you could live your life by these 15 rules, and I mean really follow them to a T, (not follow them one day and not the next, and not follow some of them and not the others, and actually make sure you are doing them correctly) you can have anything you want, and your body is included in that.  If you could think this way on a regular basis, and with practice and repitition, you can, then you can have whatever body it is that you want.

     A HUGE part to this formula is being happy constantly, if you could be happy all the time, ALL of the other steps would come SO incredibly easy to you that it won't feel like work at all, but if you can't find reasons and ways to keep yourself happy, then all of these steps can actually become a real chore!

     Find reasons to be happy and feel good.  If you can't find a reason, make one up, be happy that the sky is blue today or if you like rain, be happy if it is raining.  Be happy that you can hear or see, touch, smell or taste.  Just find reasons to be completely happy and feel good, it is very important for a lot of reasons.

So, TIP #16 find excuses to feel good, look for reasons to be happy, make sure you are living a happy, feel good life at all times if possible.  Your entire future depends on it, so look at it that way and reach for things that feel good.

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #15 WHY WEIGHTS ARE SO IMPORTANT

                                                       100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                   TIP #15 WHY WEIGHTS ARE SO IMPORTANT

     For one thing, weights are important because if you're not sweating, then you're not working.  If you aren't sweating after a workout, then you haven't burned any fat.  Sweat is a great indicator that you are burning fat and getting rid of toxins in your body.  Using weights can make this process faster.

     If any exercise that you are doing, whether it be swimming, jogging, walking, dancing, sports, anything, if you start to feel truly exhausted, you are not helping yourself to get into shape, quite the opposite actually.  When you start to feel like you can't go on and you are hurting, you could be damaging your heart or other organs.  Exercise should feel good, you should feel alive, it should give you energy, and it should be fun.  Of course, there is always a difference between actually hurting yourself and just being lazy, so it is up to you to tell the difference.  You know when you are being lazy and when you are not.  And it shouldn't be a complete piece of cake, there should be a little bit of a challenge, but you should find ways to feel good in doing it.

     One way to do that is, you could keep telling yourself that the burn feels good because that burn means it's working.  I like to picture that all that burning is my muscles heating up and burning the fat on top of it right off my body.

     But even when swimming, jogging, walking, riding a bike, dancing, playing sports, or exercising in any way, adding weights to the equation boosts up your results in less time, and gives you beautifully defined muscles.  Using weights does not mean you will bulk up and look too muscular, you can even start with 1 pound weights if you wish.  If it feels TOO easy, you should bump it up a little, but if it feels TOO hard, then you should tone it down.  A lot of times you will find 1 pound is too easy, but 2 pounds is too hard or 2 pounds is too easy but 3 pounds is too hard. (and so on)  In these cases, stick with the easier one until you are comfortable moving onto the harder one.
    
     You don't want to be weight lifting for hours and hours a day, and you don't have to wear ankle weights or wrist weights all day long.  You are not looking to tire yourself out.  But if you are going for walks, for example, your body is already use to carrying around the weight that it carries all day.  So if you are 150 pounds, it is use to carrying 150 pounds and it doesn't need to work harder to do so just because you decided to exercise.  While your body may not be use to a lot of activity, or extra activity, it will not be as effective to just simply walk as it would be to walk with weights.

     You are causing your body to pump it up by adding extra weight that it is not use to carrying around, causing the muscles to work a little harder.  In this way, you are burning fat, and without the weights, you are just keeping your body moving so that it still works.  If you don't use your body, it will start to slow down.  Walking will become harder, and diseases "related to age" may start to cut in.  By using your body, you stop this from happening or slow the process down, so it is important to keep moving.  But if you want to burn fat and get rid of pounds, using weights will help you do that.

     If you walk on a treadmill, put it to the "hill" setting so that you are climbing, if you are riding a bike or bike exercise machine, put more resistance on it so that you have to work a little harder.  Find exercises that you feel are fun so you don't get bored of doing them.  Find ways to enjoy them and look forward to them so you do them everyday, and make sure you use some kind of weights.

     Also make sure that once you get use to the weights, that you increase the pounds.  Your body will get use to it and it will not work as affectively, so you have to put it into a little bit of a shock again, and increase the weight.  Just make sure you are ready for it when you do, and go up slowly.  Don't move from 2 pounds to 10 as your next step, and don't go up any if it is too hard to do so.  Take your time, it's not a race, you have all the time in the world.  Be patient, you'll get there.

So, TIP #15 make sure to exercise daily, and add weights to every exercise.  It can be as small as one pound, just make sure you use a weight that is not too easy and not too hard.  Don't burn yourself out, have fun with it, and remember to increase the pounds on the weight as you get comfortable with them.  Incorporate weights into every exercise and you'll be burning fat in no time!

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #14 AFFIRMATIONS

                                                         100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                                       TIP #14 AFFIRMATIONS

     Affirmations are a MUST when trying to get in shape.  We talked before about erasing your old beliefs holding you back from getting in shape, and we talked about always being positive and happy, and we talked about looking at yourself as already being at your goal weight, and only think of yourself in that way.  Well a great tool to get this going is affirmations.  

     Affirmations are statements you tell yourself to affirm something.  You should write them down, and tell them to yourself every single day.  Push aside any negative talk and only use positive talk and affirmations, and mean them when you say them.  Say them while you are exercising, when you are waking up, all throughout your day, before you go to sleep, all the time!

     They can be statements such as "everyday I am getting rid of more fat off of my body" "I feel more and more energy as time goes by" "I feel great, energized, alive, and light" "I feel like I can take on anything" "I am ____ pounds, which is right where I want to be" (Put your goal weight in here not your actual weight) "I am burning off one pound of fat every single day, my mind is clearer, my body is stronger and I am thankful to get rid of this weight" "I am beautfiul, I see it, and so does the rest of the world" "I have all the tools I need to be in any kind of shape that I want" "I control my body and my outcomes" "I look and feel exactly how I want to look and feel, and I look gorgeous and feel on top of the world" and so on.  Make sure that they are also personal, mean something to you, and that they are positive, going in the direction you want to go.  You can use the ones I stated, use your own, or use a combination of both, it's up to you.

     It is okay if you don't really feel they are true to life right now.  Maybe you don't have energy, maybe you're not at your goal weight, but it doesn't matter .... keep telling yourself you are anyway.  Once you start to truly believe them your body will have no other choice but to become them.  Remember a belief is something we tell ourselves over and over again and KNOW it to be true.  You want to make sure you are telling it to yourself over and over again, and get in the character of them being true.

     Like I said, even if you don't believe them right now, with more practice you will, and as soon as you do, your body will start to change all on it's own.  But it is very important that you don't tell yourself  "I am full of energy" and then sit on the couch telling yourself "But I'm too tired to do anything"  These are contradictory statements, and they will get you NO WHERE.  Start believing and acting the part!  It is important, and if you don't want to do this, then sadly you will not get results.  It really is that important.

     Make sure you write them down and read them over every day.  You can always add new ones to your list, and there can be over 100 if you really want.  There is no limit, just make sure you are believing them and saying them everyday.

     If you are having trouble coming up with affirmations, take a piece of paper and fold it in half.  On the left half, write down things you do NOT want.  Maybe they are "I don't want to be fat" "I don't want to be lazy" "I don't want to feel terrible about myself" "I don't want to be made fun of" or whatever it is.  On the right side write the OPPOSITE of that statemet, and write it as if it has already happened.  "I am thin" "I am full of energy" "I feel great about myself" "People are impressed with me"  And make sure to leave what you don't want behind.  You are only bringing it up for this exercise, other then that, what you don't want is no longer important.

So, TIP #14, make a list of affirmations.  These should be in accordance to what it is that you want, and how life will be when your goals are met.  Read these affirmations everyday, all day long, over and over again with conviction and belief.  ACT, BELIEVE, READ AND THINK THE PART, and you will be a fat burning machine in not time.  Make the effort, it will be so worth it in the long run.  You don't need to tell anyone about your affirmations, these are for you.  Keep yourself motivated and don't let others bring you down.

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #13 REWARDS

                                                           100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                                               TIP #13 REWARDS

     The best way to get someone to do something is by giving some kind of reward.  A child doesn't want to listen unless there's something in it for them, a teenager doesn't want to do chores unless they get an allowance, an adult doesn't want to work unless they are compensated with pay, everyone wants to know that if they work hard, their hard work will be paid in some type of reward.

     And when it comes to all of your efforts in order to get into shape, you need to keep in mind what your rewards are.  This can motivate you and get you going when you don't feel like "going"! :)  Your own rewards may be the ones everyone thinks of when they think of getting in shape, or they may be unique and personal.

     When people are extremely obese, sometimes their reward is life.  Making sure they aren't going to die.  Your rewards may be something simpler like being able to wear a bikini at the beach, feeling confident when you go out instead of embarrassed.  Maybe you are like I was and you didn't want to wear sleeveless shirts anymore or shorts, and a reward would be to be able to wear them again, or in some cases, be able to wear them for the first time in their lives.  A reward is more energy and being able to take on new activities you couldn't before. 

     Another great idea for a reward may be that you get to buy an outfit you've had your eye on, and actually fit into it!  (make sure it is an outfit that matches your goal weight and size)  If you take it a step farther and actually buy the outfit and have it at your house, even better.  This is practicing expectancy.  If you EXPECT to be able to fit in that outfit, your results will come even quicker, as long as you don't lose expectancy or give the outfit away first.  Having it at your house will also motivate you further because you get to look at it everyday and imagine what you will look like in it, not to mention the fact that you spent money on it may motivate you.  No one wants to waste their money.

     Think about your rewards, write them down, and remind yourself of them when you are exercising, and when you are trying to muster up motivation to eat right or exercise. 

So, TIP #13 Write down what your rewards are for getting in shape and make sure to keep reminding yourself of what they are to keep you motivated.  Be as detailed and as personal as you want, this is for you and no one else.  Keep in mind that your hard work will always have an award.

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #12 YOGA AND STRETCHES!

                                                          100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                                 TIP #12 YOGA AND STRETCHES!

Stretching is very important when exercising, and you should be doing a small stretch before and after your exercises, but I would take atleast one day a week to do a complete hour of stretching exercises or yoga.  There are some exercise videos out there that contain an hour or more of stretching exercises, and there are countless numbers of yoga videos.  Yoga and stretching can be very relaxing, keep you flexible, and make sure you don't bulk up.

Flexibility is the key objective here though.  Have you ever gotten up from your seat and your legs felt stiff, and so it took you a minute to get walking?  Maybe you started to limp for a minute trying to get the stiffness out of your legs.  A lot of times this may even happen because of exercise, after we've been working out our muscles.  Well stretching will relieve you of this.  The more flexible you are, the less often you will stifften up.  It is important to take some time, atleast once a week, to completely get out all the kinks in your body.

So, TIP #12 Stretch a little before and after each exercise, and take atleast 1 day a week to do an hour of  stretching or an hour of yoga.  You'll be more flexible, and feel alive.  You'll be glad you did!

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #11 PAMPER YOURSELF

                                                         100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                                   TIP #11 PAMPER YOURSELF

When you feel good, obviously you are releasing endorphins which will help you get in shape, but when you feel good because you are being pampered, you feel better about yourself.  You feel beautfiul, and comfortable in your skin.  This will also help you with the new mental image you are trying to get of yourself. 

If you can get facials, messages, get your hair done or your makeup done, peticure or manicure, anything that makes you feel good, do it.  If you're not able to do those things, you could just get some candles and bath fizzies or salts and relax.  You need relaxation, and you need to either be pampered or pamper yourself every now and then (or everyday if you can, there's nothing wrong with that) to make you feel good about yourself.  It is important to feel good about yourself, be comfortable in your skin, feel beautiful and worthy, and this is one way to do that.

So, TIP #11, Take some "you time".  Go get yourself pampered or stay at home and pamper yourself, but start treating yourself and your body like the queen it is and you'll be on your way to burning fat in not time! ;)

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #10 IS IT OKAY TO SPLURGE ON JUNK FOOD ONCE IN A WHILE?

                                                      100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                TIP #10 IS IT OKAY TO SPLURGE ON JUNK FOOD ONCE IN A WHILE?

     The answer is both yes and no.  No you can not splurge, but yes you can eat junk every once in a while, with certain conditions that I will explain.  First of all, by junk food I am talking about fried foods, chips, sweets, anything with chemicals in it, and all the foods you are told not to eat.  Some "diets" will tell you that you can put aside a day for you to splurge and cheat on your diet so that you don't go crazy and miss the foods you love.  I am saying that this is sort of backwards. 

     {In the definition of "junk" I included chemicals.  Chemicals are the worst for you, and these chemicals include ANYTHING artificial, hydrogenated oils, cigarettes, alcohol, over the counter drugs, illegal drugs, prescription drugs, and so on.}

     First of all I don't agree with "diets" in the least.  They really don't work because you are sacrificing, really your happiness, and you should never "sacrifice" anything.  Sometimes you may need to compromise on matters, or cut back, but you should never ever sacrifice anything, especially happiness.  (sacrificing in this way means completely giving up something that you do not want to give up to please someone else or giving up something that you really love and will be sad or depressed without, because you are told you should by someone outside yourself)

    What you want to do is change the way you eat alltogether.  These methods that I am telling you work, but you can't use them until they work for you, then go back to the way it was before, that will always fail.  You will be right back where you were, and you don't want that.  As I said in tips before, you should try to eat as naturally as you can, and eat meals in portions no bigger then your fist atleast 4 hours apart.  But, if you have certain foods that you feel you just can't give up, go ahead and eat them, just eat them in smaller portions and less often. 

     If you follow the advice of taking a day to splurge, you will hurt all of your efforts, stretch your stomach again, and you will get back into the habbit of over eating, which you should be trying to get rid of forever.  It is the same as a drug addict.  Can you imagine if the leader of the addict meetings said everyone can take one day a week to splurge and get as high as they want!?  Would that ever work?  Of course not.  Well food is an addiction too, and if you get in the habbit of overeating, you have created an addiction, and there is no room to give into that addiction.  The fact that you have to have food to survive makes it a little trickier, but that is why you have to teach yourself how to eat in portions and not over eat.  Allowing a day to overeat is damaging to your health and efforts, so don't do it.

      I'll give you a personal example.  I absolutely LOVE buffalo chicken wings.  This is a food that I will never give up, because it makes me happy to eat them and why would I give up something that makes me happy?  You never should.  So I try to eat wings that I make at home as often as I can, and I try to fry them in olive oil when I am able to.  When I can't, I use "smart balance oil" because this is the closest to olive oil that I have found, and it even contains some olive oil in it. 

    {When choosing oils, you want to cut out any oils that are hydrogenated such as crisco, vegetable, and margarine.  Hydrogenated means that they added hydrogen atoms to completely change the structure of the fat inside the oil into a chemical (as apposed to a natural fat) to give it a longer shelf life.}

    {In these types of oils you will find trans fats which are THEE WORST types of fats you could ever put in your body.  They are un-natural and very dangerous to your health.  Avoid trans fats at all costs, avoid hydrogenated oils completely, and avoid foods that use artificial coloring or flavoring.}

    {You want to look for oils that are natural and not hydrogenated, have 0 trans fats, and make sure most of the fat contained in the oil is monounsaturated.  Monounsaturated fat is the best fat you could put in your body.  You will find this in olives, olive oil, avacado, salmon and so on.  These are the easiest fats for your body to burn, and your body will use these fats as fuel.  The second best is polyunsaturated.}

     And instead of eating 10 chicken wings or more, like I use to, I make sure that I don't go above 5, and I eat less then 5 when I am able to.  If you wanted to eat 10 chicken wings, you could eat 5 and then 4 hous later eat another 5, but there is no reason why you need to scarf down all your food in one sitting.  Remember that "doggy bags" are a great thing, and the food will always be there tomorrow or later on.

     A lot of people were raised to eat everything on their plate and not waste food.  This is really damaging to raise a child this way.  Your own body will tell you when it is full, and if you eat beyond that point, you are doing yourself a complete injustice.  This will stretch your stomach and put unwanted fat on your body.  So erase that thought of starving children in Africa that your parents use to tell you about when they were trying to convince you to eat everything on your plate.  Are these African children going to be fed because your eating up everything on your plate?  Of course not, so this reasoning is so silly, and how it got started as something that parents say I'll never know, but they do.  I know the reason they say it is that you should concider yourself lucky and not waste food, but you should not let this be a reason you eat up everything.

     You can always save your leftovers for later, and you should be serving yourself smaller portions.  Listen to your body, and if after 10 grapes your body is full, then stop eating and wait until you're hungry again.  But if you have stretched your stomach so far out of wack that after 20 chicken wings you're still not full, then you need to do some real work to make sure that you are not eating more than that fist full of food at a time.  It may be hard for these types of people, but it is a must!

     Look at the back of labels and check where the trans fats, hydrogenated oils, and artificial colors and flavors are.  Avoid these as much as you can.  And keep in mind that when you buy fried foods, donuts, fries, burgers, sodas and other fast foods or foods from restaraunts, there is a good chance that they are made with these types of chemicals you do not want in your body.  But today's tip is that if they are foods that you don't want to give up, just try to eat them as less often as possible, make your own at home when you can, and eat these in very small portions.  A little here and there won't hurt, but don't ever splurge.

     So, TIP #10, you are not on a diet, you are changing the way you eat completely.  You don't have to completely give up the foods you love, but you should try to make them at home as much as possible with ingredients that you know are beneficial.  And whether you make them at home or you buy them already prepared, you want to make sure you are not over indulging.  Never ever "cheat" or "splurge" there is no reason to in this way of eating.  You are not depriving yourself of ANYTHING, you are just simply eating in smaller portions and less often.  If you want to order out, go ahead, but don't do it often and eat in smaller portions, use doggy bags and save some for later.  Cut out as much artificial flavor and color, trans fats, and hydrogenated oils as possible. Use as much monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats, and you will be burning fat in no time!

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #9 STOP CARING ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK!!

                                                             100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                              TIP #9 STOP CARING ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK!

  Sometimes this may be harder then it sounds.  We all want approval from others for some reason, but we all need to understand that approval from others is not important.  It is only important that we approve of ourselves.  No matter what your decisions are, if you are okay with them, forget what others think.

  Caring too much about what others think of you will stop you from reaching your goals.  If you are feeling confident and someone tries to tear your confidence down, you need to choose to not listen to them and not care what they think.  You want to avoid confrontation, you want to be thinking positive and happy thoughts all the time, so don't get sucked into an argument.  Just flat out ignore them and don't respond.  Sometimes I literally have to plug my ears and act like a child and walk away to avoid even hearing what someone has to say.  It may sound silly, but if that's what you feel like you need to do in the moment, just do it.

  Do whatever you can to make sure that you don't let what others think and say affect you, and that you don't let yourself care what others think.  Be yourself and let your own personality shine, if others don't like it, oh well.  Whether you know it or not, people are usually attracted to the person who is comfortable just being themselves because they truly don't care what others think about them.  And the person that cares too much about what others think about them, are easy targets, people will continue to bash these types of people because they know they can.

  By not caring about what others think, it is easier to change those thought patterns in your subconcious mind that we talked about in tip #8, and it is easier to see yourself in the image you need to see yourself in, in order to become it.  By caring about what others think, you stop yourself from reaching goals, so don't do it.  And don't give into bad advice, if someone is telling you how your new way is not going to work, stop talking to them about anything!  This is a sure sign that these are negative people who will bring you down any chance they can get.  Just because someone else doesn't have the determination to change their life, doesn't mean you don't, and just because someone else doesn't believe in you, doesn't give you an excuse not to.

 So, TIP #9, stop caring about what everyone thinks, ignore them, brush them off, plug your ears, walk away, do what you have to do, but STOP CARING ABOUT WHAT THEY THINK, only care about what YOU think.  And YOU should be thinking about yourself in a wonderful, great way.

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #8 VISUALIZE

                                                            100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                                               TIP #8 VISUALIZE

    I sort of touched base on the idea of visualization when I talked about goal setting, but now I will go into further detail, because this is a very important one.

   While you are exercising, and all throughout your day as well, you should be visualizing yourself as the way you want to look and forget about how you do look COMPLETELY!  I mentioned cutting out magazine pictures of people you want to look like or going online and finding photos, well you can also put these photos on a dvd if your computer has a movie maker (you may be able to find a free download of a movie maker if you do not already have one, or you can buy the disc from the store if you wish) and write a "subliminal message" on the photo, while playing motivational music in the background. 

    If you do not have a movie maker, and do not plan on getting one, you can still do this, but instead of it being a movie, you will say "subliminal messages" to yourself while you look at photos and listen to music.  These messages could be things like "I am strong, lean, healthy, and in great shape" "Everyday I find new ways to make exercising fun" "I have the right tools and mindset to keep myself in shape" "Everyday I am getting thinner and thinner" "I am proud of my accomplishments and I am reaching my goals everyday" "I have the body I have always dreamed of having" and so on. 

   These messages, while looking at the photos of what you want your body to look like is creating new thought patterns in your subconcious mind.  This is more important than anything because if you are overweight now, it is probably 90% your subconcious mind's fault.  If you overeat and don't exercise it is probably an autopilot response of your subconcious mind according to your beliefs.  In other words, if you think you are fat long enough, it becomes a belief, if it is a belief, then your subconcious mind will hold onto it and do everything it can to make sure you stay fat.  If you start to get thinner, your subconcious mind literally finds ways to balance you back out because the belief is that you are fat, not thin.  It may sound unbelievable, but it is completely, without a doubt, true! If your belief is that food is your comfort, and it is hard to get rid of extra weight, than that is what will happen.  Why not make the new belief that exercise is your comfort and getting rid of extra weight is easy.  You will change your body's response by changing your beliefs.

   Now, keep in mind that an old belief may, at sometimes, be hard to get rid of, depending on how long you have held onto it and how stubborn you are in the process of getting rid of it, but if you put in the effort, you can do this.  And a new belief takes about 30 days of constantly repeating repeating repeating to become a belief.  So that means that you are going to have to find out what your old belief is, go back to the first time you can remember feeling that way, and CHANGE IT.  This will be like a dream sequence or movie, go back to that first time you can remember, say you were a little kid and your parents told you you were getting too fat.  Go back to that time, see in your mind what was happening, and change what your parents said, or change what your resonse was.  Kind of like the movie the butterfly effect, if you have ever seen it.  Again, some people are going to think it sounds funny, but if you don't do this, and you start thinking these methods are too silly, then continue on with the other methods you are currently using that aren't working! 

   These methods work if done correctly and done everyday.  So do them!  Then constantly, everyday, repeat those messages to yourself.  "Getting rid of extra weight and fat is easy" "I love to exercise" or whatever it is that is creating your new belief.  Watch your movie or look at your photos, and picture, in your mind, those photos are on your body.  You have to start to actually feel like that is your leg, or your arm, or stomach, your body.  You need to feel like that is attatched to you, that you are literally carrying around those body parts and you can feel them attatched to you.  This is important, so hopefully you are catching on to what I mean.  You need to become that person and only think of yourself as that person.  I would try to avoid body length mirrors for a while and as I said, avoid scales and weighing yourself.  It is important that you start to think of yourself as what you want to look like ONLY and not think of yourself as what you actually look like, because I promise you if you do all that I suggested, that image in your mind WILL become your body .... it HAS to, just be patient and know that it will take a little time, this is a day at a time thing.  Nothing is done overnight, and nothing gets done without effort.   Change your thoughts now, and your body will eventually catch up to the image it already believes it is.

    The reason for the motivating music playing is just that, it motivates you, makes you feel good, and adds emotion.  There are three elements that must be present when changing a thought in your subconcious mind and that is visualizing it, feeling as though it is real right now, and adding emotion to it - good emotion and good feelings.  The music makes those good feelings easy.  I like to listen to "make it happen" by mariah carey, and "fight for this love" by Cheryl Cole.  Of course instead of thinking about the "love" part, I think about whatever it is that I want to fight for.  I love a verse in the song "If it's worth having, it's worth fighting for" because it goes with anything.  If the nice body is good enough to have, it is good enough to fight for.  And that goes for money, nice cars, homes, love, good kids, anything.  If it is worth having, it is worth the fight to get it.  You can choose those songs or any other songs that you like. Download them on your ipod, or just put them on, on youtube.  (this is what I usually do)

    I would watch your movie or do this routine once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once at night.  If you can'd do it that much, do it whenever you can, but remember, you always have your brain with you, and it is perfectly fine to remember the photos in your mind ANYTIME, and you can hear the song in your head, and repeat the messages to yourself.  You can do this anytime of the day and no one can stop you or tell you no, because they won't even know you are doing it. 

    It doesn't matter how you do it or when you do it, but it does matter that you DO IT EVERYDAY!!  And make sure you are erasing those old thoughts in the process.  Erase the old thought ONCE and then forget it, and focus on your new thoughts.  You can't keep going back to old thoughts without waking them back up.  So do the erasing once, and then only worry about your new thoughts and your new thoughts only.  If an old thought comes back up, laugh it off, brush it off and replace it with your new thought.

  Keep in mind that it takes a while, and you will get there.  Just feel good, feel like you are at your goal already, watch your movies or look at your photos with messages and music.  After a couple months, you will be so glad that you did.  For some this takes a month or less to get these new ideas in their heads, and start making things happen and progress with the thoughts.  For others, it could take 6 months or longer, or even never.  If it is taking this long, it is because you are going back and giving into negative thoughts about yourself, and that will STOP you dead in your tracks!  If it never happens it is because you are flat out refusing to do this everyday and make a change in your life.  But either way, if it happens quickly, or it never happens at all, it is all due to you and your actions, it has nothing to do with any outside entities, or this process.  If your spouse, or anyone for that matter, bashes you constantly about your weight, it is your fault for listening to it or even being around someone like that!  You choose what information you believe, you choose what types of emotions that information gives you.  You may think it is an automatic response, and due to your subconcious mind running the show it kind of is, but you can choose to change those thoughts right now.  It's up to you ..... make the change for yourself.

   So, TIP #8 visualize using photos of what you want to look like, seeing your body as though your goals have already been met and only seeing your body in this form and NO OTHER, listen to motivating music that lifts your spirits and gets you going, and repeat messages to yourself to create new thought patterns in your subconcious mind.  Do this every-single-day, and at times when you are not able, do it in your head.  No one can stop you from that.  Do it everyday and after about 30 days or so, your body will become a fat burning machine all on it's own!

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #7 SET CLEAR GOALS

                                                         100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                                    TIP #7 SET CLEAR GOALS

   You should have a goal weight, an exact number of pounds you want to get rid of, a picture in mind of exaclty what you want to look like when you reach your goal weight, how much time you want to exercise a day, what types of food choices you want to make everyday, and a date by which you give yourself to achieve your goal weight.  You should set a daily goal to make this happen, and you should always make sure that your goals are attainable, realistic for your beliefs, and you should be 100% confident and determined to reach this goal.  Make it to where there is no doubt in your mind, and live like you are already that size, weight or shape.  See yourself as that person, DO NOT see yourself as a bigger person that will be smaller soon, this will only paralize you from reaching your goal.  Know that the person you want to be is actually the person you already are and do everything you can to make sure that happens.

    When I say set daily goals, I mean pick an exact number of pounds or fat you want to burn a day.  For example, everyday you will burn 1 pound of fat or 1/2 pound of fat, whatever you truly KNOW you can do.  And work on this number every day.  When you are doing your exercises, keep in mind that you are burning ___ pounds for that day.  Gather photos of what you want your body type to look like.  These can be from magazines, off of the internet, whatever you choose.  Keep these photos somewhere where you can look at them, and then close your eyes and see this as your body. It is very important to have these visual goals too.

    Write down your goals on a piece of paper, and write them in present tense as if they have already happened.  For example, your goals could look something like this "I am burning 1 pound of fat off of my body everyday, and I am reaching my goal weight of 120 pounds.  This goal will be complete by January 1 2012.  I am making great food choices and eating all natural foods, I am exercising for 1 hour a day.  My body is shrinking in size, and I have defined muscles all over my body" Or whatever goals you have in mind. 

    I would have a final total of what you want to weigh, (if you are 200 pounds now and you want to weigh 100 pounds, don't listen to others saying it will not happen, if that is truly what you want, and it is SAFE for your height and age, then go for it, write down what you want, not what others think you can achieve)  and how many pounds you want to get rid of DAILY.  If you are looking to get rid of 1 pound a day, it will take 100 days for you to go from 200 pounds to 100 pounds.  If today were January 1 2011, then April 10 2011 is when you goal should be met.  There for your goal would look something like this

"I am burning off 1 pound of fat from my body every day.  I am reaching my goal weight of 100 pounds very quickly, and this goal will be complete April 10 2011.  My new weight today is 199 pounds, and I am proud of my food choices, I am eating all natural foods in size portions that are no bigger than my fist, my meals are 4 hours apart, and I am exercising for 1 hour a day."  (your new weight today should change everyday, getting one pound less each day)  and then visualise in your mind what this body looks like, don't skip over the visualising part.

    Every single day, you should state what your new weight for the day is, but do not weigh yourself to confirm this, and make sure that you are really doing what it takes.  If you weigh yourself and you are not where you thought you should be, it can be very distracting and you can hurt your chances for getting there.  Sometimes your body will need to catch up, but as long as you are making sure you reach your goals daily, and you live as though you are already that weight, you will be there in no time.  You can't state that you are burning off a pound of fat a day if you are not doing anything to burn it and eating junk all day.  Make sure you stick to your goals.  Keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat as well, so if you are replacing fat with muscle, you may automatically weigh a little bit more then you wanted, but you will still be in great shape.

   Write down your goals and look at them daily.  Write in a journal what your new weight is for every day, making sure it is the exact amount you said you would burn a day.  Stick to these goals like they are a contract, and you will be at your goal in no time!

So, TIP #7, Set clearly defined goals that you KNOW without a doubt you will reach.  Live as though those goals have already been achieved, write them down, and read them daily.  Make sure your goals include how much you want to weigh, how many pounds you want to burn off a day, what length of time you want to exercise for, what types of food choices you are making, a date by which this will happen, and a visual goal of what you will look like.  State them in present tense and act as though you already achieved it, and FOLLOW THROUGH!!

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #6 GET ACTIVE!

                                                     100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                                       TIP #6 GET ACTIVE

Now, this should be a given, everyone should know that you need exercise daily if you want to get in shape.  But honestly, you need exercise daily anyway.  You don't need to start out lifting weights for an hour or jogging or taking a zumba class, and if you are not active now, I wouldn't recommend starting out like this at all!  You should take it in slower steps, increasing your activity every single day, but make sure you are taking some time every single day!  There are a lot of exercise programs that tell you to exercise 3 - 5 times a week.  I am suggesting that you start to learn how to love exercise, and do it DAILY .  Just like meditation, exercise shouldn't be skipped, not even for the weekend.  But you can train your mind and body to want to exercise every day, and you will find that this is very easy to do.

A good example of what your exercise routine should look like is this.  Day 1, walk with weights for 15 minutes. Day 2, walk with weights for 20 minutes.  Day 3, Walk with weights for 25 minutes.  Day 4, walk with weights for 30 minutes.  Day 5, walk with weights for 30 minutes and then do 10 squats.  Day 6, walk with weights for 30 minutes, then do 10 squats and 10 sit ups.  Day 7, walk with weights for 30 minutes, then do 10 squats, 10 sit ups, and 10 arm raises. ..... get the picture?  You should be starting out with what you can handle, and then add a little more each time, but make sure you are always adding and not taking away.  If you find that you have given yourself too much to handle, then you can reformulate, but reach for more each day not less.You have to be constantly increasing the amount of exercise so your body does not plateau. 

Write down an entire 30 day exercise plan, and stick with it each day.  Make sure you are using weights, they can be 1 pound weights if that is all you can handle for now, but make sure you use some kind of weight.  When you reach your 30 days, keep the same plan, but now instead of walking, put a little more bounce to your step, increase the amount of repititions you do of sit ups, squats, etc, and add more weight, 1 pound more will be find.  The important thing is that you are exercising every day and adding a little more each day.  Take it as slow as you want, and do what feels right to you. 

Before you know it, you will be able to take on anything!  You'll have so much energy, feel lighter and free, and you'll be able to take on activities you wouldn't have been able to when you started out.  If you start an exercise program that is intense and lasts for hours, you will get exhausted and give up on it, the only way to get from your sitting on your couch all day to running a marathon (speaking in examples) is by taking it one day at a time, and adding more each day.  If you tried to get up one day and run that marathon without taking it in steps, you'd wear yourself out.

You can use meditation to look at exercise in a different light.  Exercise should be a meditation of it's own.  If you can exercise every morning, your day will start out better, and most likely go that way the rest of the day as long as you don't let anything else bother you!  Remember to keep thinking positive and happy thoughts about yourself and others all day long as well.  If you are starting out your day with a positive outlook, then calming your mind and body with meditation, using meditation to make you feel good about exercise, and then getting active while also following all of the other tips I have laid out, you are sure to succeed.

If you skip ANY of the tips I have laid out, however, or let negative thinking overcome you, then you are less likely.

So, TIP #6 is, no matter how busy your day, it is CRUCIAL that you find time to exercise DAILY.  Use meditation to make you feel good about exercise. Start out small and slow, and use some kind of weights, (walks are very good to start with) and add a little more each day, and watch the pounds burn off!

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #5 MEDITATE

                                                           100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                                                TIP #5 MEDITATE

     Meditation is one of the most important things you could do for yourself if you want to make anything happen.  It slows down your thinking, gives you a calm and relaxed look on things, helps you to relieve stress, and there are some types of meditation that you use for "programming" your mind to think a certain way.  Most people's lives are busy and hectic, if they could learn to slow their minds down a minute, they would find that everything runs much smoother!  It is even easier to build up the energy to exercise after relaxing with meditation.

    Try this, go to a quiet room by yourself, close your eyes and breath in and out slowly, though your nose if you can.  Concentrate on your breathing and your breathing alone.  If a thought enters your head, just let it go and go back to focusing on your breathing.  Feel at one with everything, and release all tention in your mind and your body.  Just take big deep breaths and feel deeply relaxed.  Do this for as long as you can, and when you are ready to get up and go on with your day, before you open your eyes, while you are still in this relaxed state, repeat to yourself mentally "I am full of energy" "It feels great to exercise" or any little comments that you think of that will get you going.  Just keep repeating them over and over until they feel real, keep trying to feel that which you are thinking.  If you are saying "I am full of energy", start to feel a burst of energy come over you, and keep repeating this until you actually feel it and are ready to get up and exercise or be active.

You should set aside time for meditation every single day.  3 times a day is ideal, and 15 minutes each time is very good, but if all you have is 5 minutes a day 1 time a day, that is so much better then nothing at all, so atleast do that.

So, TIP #5, set aside some kind of time EVERY day for meditation to relieve stress, calm your nerves, get a better grip on things, and to build up the energy for exercise and activeness.  When done right and done everyday, the effects are incredible.

100 FREE tips to get rid of fat forever! TIP #4 FORGET CALORIES

                                                          100 TIPS IN 100 DAYS
                                                       TIP # 4 FORGET CALORIES

                 Calories aren't exactly what you should be counting to get rid of fat and eat healthier. What you should focus on instead is ingredients and portion size.  You want to eat THEE most natural foods possible.  The chemicals that we place in food are actually what causes us to gain unwanted weight, receive toxins in our bodies, and even gain cellulite, and not so much the calories.  No one knows for absolute certain exactly what causes cellulite, but research shows that it is more provable that cellulite is toxins stuck inside of fat that have risen to the surface of the skin.  And these toxins in your body are caused mostly from the things you put in it.  Pollutants in the air, shampoos, soaps, cleaning supplies, and so on can also add to the toxins in your body, but what you eat makes the most difference.

                  If you check the ingredients in most foods, you would be suprised to find out how many chemicals are in the foods you thought were natural.  Another thing you should be checking for is portion size.  Ball up your fist and look at it.  This should be the size of your stomach.  Some people eat and eat even after they are stuffed. Doing this day in and day out can stretch your stomach to the max, but the size of your balled fist is the normal size that it should be.  You should only be taking in amounts of food this size, at one time. You should also wait 3 to 4 hours before eating again, and of course drink plenty of water.

So, TIP #4 is forget the calories and instead, eat as much, or if you can, eat only natural foods that do not contain chemicals, drink plenty of water and do not eat portion sizes larger than your balled fist in a meal, making sure that you wait atleast 3 to 4 hours before eating again.
