Weight Loss Plans for Women

Ok.
You want to lose weight and feel better.  And you're a woman.  You're tired of feeling out of breath when you walk up the stairs.  You want to be able to feel sexy again like you used to.  You want to be able to fit into those favorite pair of jeans again.  You want to be able to look in the mirror and be confident in the person staring back at you.  Maybe your doctor has brought you to this decision.   Perhaps you have always been overweight and never thought you had a choice in the matter and you've decided to say "Enough is Enough!"  Or maybe you're tired of people misjudging you by your looks.

Whatever it is and whatever your case may be, I'm here to provide some help and guidance in the matter.  You see, I've studied nutrition and exercise for over 16 years and I am a published author on amazon.  I've learned a thing or two, that just might be able to help you WHEN you put this information into practice.

I may be a man, but I have found that the same things that work for weight loss in men, also work just as well for women.  Sure our ratio of hormones are different, but when it comes to weight loss, the same formula is used and works every time!

If you can raise your metabolism, then you can lose weight as a woman.
If you can perform resistance exercise, then you can lose weight as a woman.
If you can stay away from cookies, cakes, bread, sodas, and milk for 5 days out of the week, you can lose weight as a woman. ( If you're worried about osteoporosis without the milk, broccoli has much more calcium than milk anyway :)
If you can perform cardio for 3 days a week, then you can lose weight as a woman.
If you combine all of the above techniques, you will start seeing results very fast!

 The above is a foundation for many types of weight loss plans for women. This is what I have found to work very well for all who apply them, including female friends of mine :)

So, let's break this list down a bit further with some tips thrown in :)

There are many ways to raise metabolism. Here are some to start you off:
1) Eat smaller meals more frequently.
2) Supplement with a kelp tablet every day( this helps regulate your thyroid, which helps regulate your metabolism and also ensures you get a good amount of the minerals that you need daily)
3) Stay away from milk, breads and pastas.  Bodybuilders have known for a long time that these common foods HELP PACK ON BODY WEIGHT.
4) Start taking a dessicated liver tablet with every meal.  These are loaded with vitamins, especially B12 which helps give you energy and helps you recuperate much faster from exercise.  The also have what are called lipotropics in them which help you burn fat and build muscle just by injesting them, helps your liver do it's own job, improves hair, nails, teeth, increases the oxygenation of your blood, high in vitam A, D, and Iron as well, which is very important to fight anemia.  They've even done scientific studies on their immune boosting properties and detox effect against poisons.(very powerful stuff)

As for resistance exercise:
1)You can do it the old fashion way by lifting weights.
2) You do do calisthenics.
3) You can do Pilates.
4) You can do what's called power yoga or even yoga in general.
5) You can use kettlebells at home.
6) You can buy some sand bags from home depot.
7) You can buy resistance bands.
8) You can fill empty water jugs with sand from your local beach and use that for resistance as well.

As for the diet:
For 5 or 6 days out of the week let your meals consist mostly of protein and vegetables.
Do not have carbs past 6PM.
If you have carb foods, use low glycemic index foods like sweet potatoes, blueberries, strawberries, black beans, broccoli, cabbage etc,
Stay away from all higher glycemic  carb foods like white bread, white rice, pasta, potatoes, pancakes, sugar, etc.,
For 1 or 2 days out of the week, you can have your cheat day to have whatever you want ( within reason)
If you're gonna cheat on you're diet, it's best to do it right in the morning at breakfast time or right after you are done working out.  These are the times when your body will absorb the food better and the least of it will turn to extra body fat :)

Cardio:
The usual way is either using a stationary bike or treadmill of some kind.
You can do the longer type like 20 min or longer.
You can do the short kind often called interval training that last for about 5-6 min. but is much more intense.
You can take a boxing class for the cardio benefits.
You can take a kickboxing class as well.
You can take a spin class at your gym if they have one.
Start off with only 3 days per week cardio, then when you get into that habit and want more, you can bump up the number of days you do it.
If you combine resistance training and cardio in the same workout, always do the cardio at the end of the workout.
