How to Burn 3,500 Calories in 7 Days

By

If losing the first five pounds was difficult, well wait until the losing-that-last-pound phase and you’ll find it almost impossible. Try a treadmill exercise that can help you lose 3,500 calories in seven days. That is equivalent to losing one pound in one week—and that’s guaranteed.

Exercise

Warm up with a 4mph jog on the treadmill for five minutes. Follow this pattern after that: three minutes at 6mph, one minute at 7mph, three minutes at 6mph, and one minute at 8mph. Do this pattern three times. Warm down with the same warming-up speed for five minutes.

Congratulate yourself! You’ve just lost around 500 calories with this 42-minute workout. Continue on doing this everyday for the whole week and you’ll lose about 3,500 calories, which is equivalent to a pound.

The treadmill exercise may be too light or too heavy for you. Adjust the speed level to your desired as long as you keep the pattern and duration.

Diet

Along with this exercise is a proper diet. Cut about a hundred calories from the usual everyday. It only takes maybe skipping an extra snack or cutting down on your sugar intake. You can do it in any way you want. Just be watchful on what you eat or you might end up eating the calories you’ve just burned.

Now, what if you have no treadmill to start with? You can hit to the nearest gym and use one of their treadmills. Just be careful of the inevitable, obnoxious creatures there. If you want to save your sanity from them, then better start reading Treadmill Reviews. Invest on a treadmill. There is nothing better than enjoying the comfort and peace of your home while losing weight.

The Pistachio Principle Of Dieting

One thing that I have learned in the first half of this year is that the older you get, the harder it is to lose weight. Remember when you were a teenager? You just needed to go on a crash diet, and you’d lose some weight just like that! It was probably due to a higher metabolism rate, plus the fact that you were engaged in so many physical activities. As a “pencil pusher,” physical activities seem to be set aside. You’d have to make an extra effort to burn calories by going to the gym – something which a lot of people have no time for.

But have you heard of the Pistachio Principle? By all accounts, this dieting principle should help you lose weight effectively, consistently, and for the long term. The basic premise behind this principle is that people should consume fewer calories without depriving themselves AND still feel full and satisfied after a meal.

How is this possible?

I am sure you have heard of the fact that it takes 20 minutes for your brain to register that you are full. With that in mind, you should eat for at least 20 minutes and relish your food. Eating slowly will help you consume less amounts of food. Nothing new, right?

More than this, the Pistachio Principle also suggests eating food that takes a little more effort. For example, instead of easy to eat cut up boneless chicken breasts, why not try whole chicken breasts with bones? This will entail having to pick the meat out, thereby making you slow down. What I realized here is that fast food (both because of the physical nature and the nutritional content) should be taken out of the equation as much as possible.

So what do you think? Will the Pistachio Principle work?

How To Wake Up Looking Your Best

By

Don’t you ever wonder about those women on TV and in the movies who wake up looking absolutely gorgeous? I am sure they do NOT look like that in real life! Still, there are things that we women can do to make sure that we look pretty good the moment we get out of bed.

First, make sure you wash your face at night. Not only that, try using a deep cleansing yet gentle product a few hours before you go to bed. This will help you get rid of more toxins and dirt as the blood flow is much better at nighttime.

Second, sleep on your back if you can. I know we all have our preferred sleeping positions but sleeping on the back avoids pressure on the face. The more pressure you put on your face, the higher your chances of developing wrinkles.

Third, mix some tanning cream onto your night moisturizer if you want to get a healthy glow. Just make sure you don’t over do it. The effect will give you a nice smooth color in the long run.

Fourth, cut back on the carbs, especially for dinner. Wonder why you get that puffy look in the morning? It’s probably the loads of mashed potatoes (or other high carb food) that you had for dinner. Instead of eating lots of carbs, go for more protein. Avoid the sugar, too.

Fifth, and last, wake up with nice hair by using satin or silk pillowcases. These materials cause less friction, resulting in less frizz when you wake up.
