Michael Thurmond Six Week Body Type A

By Steve Oberman

The 6 Week Body Makeover Body Type A has the slowest metabolism out of the entire body types. This puts you at a disadvantage when trying to lose weight. Metabolic rate determines how fast food is converted into energy. The slower your metabolism is, the harder it is to lose weight.

As a body type A, you are classified as an "endomorph". The ratio of fat to lean muscle is very high. You are fat and have very soft and loose flesh. When you eat something, you tend to gain weight and no matter what you eat, you will always gain weight. Throughout your whole life, you have always had trouble losing weight and have had an easy time gaining weight.

Don't despair, there is hope. You CAN and you WILL lose weight if you follow the Six Week Body Makeover eating program. The reason why you gain weight is because your body's metabolism is so slow that it cannot keep up with your eating habits, even if you do not eat that food, your metabolism is too slow to burn calories.

Many Body Type A are a prisoner of their body's and have tried all their lives to lose weight. Your sedentary lifestyle or genetic makeup is the common factor for your weight gain.

The positive aspect of losing weight for Body Type A people is that they will lose weight the fastest. If you take the Michael Thurman diet, you can possibly lose up to 5 to 10 pounds in your very first week. Losing that much weight is unheard of and you might be a non-believer, however, if you follow the "Fast Track Meal Plan", it's absolutely possible to lose weight in the first week.

Eat the right type of carbohydrates and protein and you will lose weight. Complex carbs are important for your weight loss as well as eating all 6 daily meals. Eating more is the key to losing weight, not eating less. This might be confusing to you, but the Six Week Body Makeover will ensure that you understand how to lose weight through smart eating.

Green Living Can Help You Lose Weight

By Kelsey Collins

Anyone losing weight knows that there's a wealth of "sure-fire" diets out there from which to choose. The real question is: Which one really is "sure-fire"?

The truth is -- none of them are. Big names in the fitness industry have gotten pretty rich from convincing the general public to ditch one food group or another, all in the name of getting lean quickly. Typically, these programs require a dieter to buy a book, purchase individually-wrapped, pre-packaged foods and eliminate some sort of nutrient in its entirety.

Not only does the dieter not lose a lot of weight, they help wreak havoc on the environment with the processing the food goes through and the amount of packaging it's sold in.

There is a way to avoid this, though, and still live a health life while getting lean - it's the clean, green, lean way of eating. Let's be clear here: This isn't a diet. This is a whole new way of eating -- the way humans were meant to eat.

Lean proteins, lots of fruits and vegetables and some whole grains come together to form this new way of eating. What's better is that so much of it can be bought from local merchants, which usually cuts down on packaging and also reduces the mileage that food travels to get to your dinner plate.

Confused? Let's break it down one piece at a time:

Clean eating: This is a fancy way of saying that you'll eat food as close to their natural state as possible, eschewing that typical processed foods that you find in grocery stores, which are usually laden with preservatives, chemicals and that nasty ingredient you've heard so much about: high fructose corn syrup. Think about it this way - when deciding whether to eat an apple or applesauce, which one is better? (we're talking Mott's applesauce here, not Amish-made pure sauce straight from the orchard) Neither is going to cause you to gain weight, but that applesauce has passed through a lot more machinery and human hands, with a plethora of additions to prolong its shelf life and make it sweeter so more toddlers will gobble it up. The plain apple, which is chock full of fiber instead of sugar, is a lot healthier.

A common question is what type of foods are considered clean. The basis of a clean diet should include lean protein (chicken, fish, lean meat, low-fat cottage cheese and natural nut butters), whole grains (avoid any breads that include high-fructose corn syrup or has 'enriched' or 'unbleached' flours as its first ingredient) and tons of fruits and vegetables.

Green eating: It's not surprise that reducing each and every individual's carbon footprint is of utmost importance right now. Shopping locally, whether it be at farmer's markets or local butchers and bakers, helps make the Earth greener by reducing packaging that ends up landfills or the ocean and cuts down on fuel usage by the trucks and airplanes that transport food across the country.

Eating green also means eating seasonally. While we would all love strawberries and tomatoes year-round, those two fruits don't grow in most areas in the winter. To get fresh strawberries during the off-season requires much more energy than if it's saved as a summertime treat.

But how does eating green -- that is, eating locally and seasonally -- help you lose weight? Well, this weekend, wander through your local farmer's market or drop by a produce stand. With the exception of some delicious baked goods that might be available from a local farm, the majority of the food sold there is health and lean.

There's plenty of fruits and vegetables, natural jams and butters, even some lean meats, if you're lucky. Buying straight from the farm means you're going to avoid the processing that's rampant in the food industry.

You've heard the expression "lean, mean, fighting machine?" By eating natural foods from local merchants, you can become a "clean, green, lean machine" instead!

What Obese Children Need to Avoid a Future with Diabetes

By Patsie Adams

Diabetes is reaching epic proportions in most of the western world. A major reason is that more children are growing up already obese. The obese child's body is usually on its way to abnormal blood sugar processing - leading to diabetes later in life.

Obese children are set up for diabetes and even among adults the incidence of the disease is occurring earlier in life. Diabetes is no longer just for older people.

When a child is overweight, their bodys systems are overtaxed. A child doesnt just become overweight accidentally. Poor diet and lack of exercise in any combination will contribute to a childhood obesity.

And its not the weight itself necessarily that causes many of the of the health problems of the obese child. Rather its the diet and lifestyle that led the child to become fat that can damage their health.

The threat of diabetes is not to be taken lightly. It is a major health risk. However, it can be reversed. More importantly, it can be prevented.

Type I diabetes occurs when the pancreas stops functioning properly. This type of diabetes is also known as juvenile diabetes. This isnt a preventable disease because it simply happens when an organ malfunctions.

When it comes to Type II diabetes, prevention is completely possible. Exercise and healthy eating will keep it at bay. Though it has happened, It is extremely rare to develop Type II diabetes among the active, healthy-eaters.

But those who already have Type II diabetes can still get out of it. Together with medical intervention, it is reversed by a change in eating habits that cut down on simple carbohydrates. Eliminating certain kinds of carbs can make a huge impact.

Just by improving their diets, people with diabetes will notice major improvements in health. This does not only result in weight loss for vanity's sake. Blood sugar levels normalize. Eventually, they will be able to stop taking pills or insulin shots.

Even if the obese child is not exhibiting signs of diabetes, it is still considered a serious health risk for them. That's because diabetes develops over a course of time. An unhealthy lifestyle now can progress to diabetes eventually.

Obese children who eat too much simple carbohydrates like flour and sugar, are at particular risk for diabetes later on. Large amounts of glucose are released into their blood stream after they eat all that sugar and carbs. Young bodies are so efficient, that they work overtime to eliminate the excess glucose. This is done by releasing large amounts of insulin.

In a matter of years blood vessels and arteries can be affected by this insulin surge. Insulin resistance is the result.

Abnormalities in insulin-production makes the body unable to regulate blood sugar. Pills or insulin injections become have to be used.

Obese children need to be guided through major changes in food and exercises habits. If not, they face a future of serious health risks - primarily diabetes. Don't wait because they are still "just kids". Their future health as adults depend on this.

The Neck Pain and Lower Back Pain Secret

By Stephen Akamine

The Cervical Spine and Lumbar Spine are Complex Structures that oftentimes exhibit Complex Causes of Neck Pain and Lower Back Pain. The cause of the 2 most common forms of pain in the human anatomy, Neck Pain or Lower Back Pain, can sometimes be extremely complex at times due to the complexity of their structures. There is always a root cause or secondary cause of Neck Pain or Lower Back Pain, and that source of Neck Pain or Lower Back Pain is oftentimes labeled as a secret or hidden cause because it can be overlooked and very difficult to diagnose. That Secret or Hidden cause of Neck Pain or Lower Back Pain is better known as Facet Syndrome or Facet Joint Pain. Facet Syndrome or Facet Joint Pain is a collection of Chronic Neck Pain Symptoms or Chronic Lower Back Pain Symptoms directly related to pain in the facet joints, and that is why it is known as a Chronic Pain Syndrome.

What does Articulation have to do with a Facet Joint? The posterior spinal joint that interfaces an adjacent upper and lower vertebrae together, is called a Facet Joint or Zygapophyseal Joint. Articulation within defined ranges of motion, is the medical term for Facet Joint movement. The articulation of a Facet Joint includes flexion, which is bending forward, extension, which is bending backward, and Cervical Rotation, or Thoracolumbar Rotation, which is twisting from side to side. Facet Joint unload and stretch when flexed, and load and compress when extended, while having complex combination of either when twisted to one side or the other. Luckily for us, Facet Joints also limit excessive range of motion, which can cause damage to spinal discs in either the Neck or Lower Back.

Do Facet Joints have the characteristics of Synovial Joints? The most common joints in the human body are Synovial Joints, and Facet Joints are most definitely Synovial Joints. Synovial Joint and Facet Joint characteristics include having Synovial fluid within a joint capsule that lubricates the inside of the joint. The outside of the Facet Joint has cartilage between the upper joint surface of each vertebra and the lower joint surface of each vertebra that enables smooth gliding movements when flexing, extending, or twisting.

What is Facet Arthritis? Facet Arthritis or Facet Arthropathy is a degenerative arthritis-facet joint inflammation that can be one of the syndromes of Facet Joint Pain. Both chronic pain conditions can be caused by wear and tear, degeneration of the cartilage surfaces, joint capsule or associated vertebral discs, injury or trauma, incorrect posture-excessive forward head posture, or abnormal spinal curvature such as Hyperlordosis-excessive arch in the lower back.

Factors affecting Joint Movement? The Facet Joint must be able to move smoothly without restriction. Facet Joint Pain is often experienced when the joint becomes stuck or fixated in the open or closed position or in the partially open or partially closed position. The Facet Joint Pain dysfunction can cause the muscles surrounding the problem to become hypertonic-extremely tight in order to splint or support the problem. Conversely, the musculature that surrounds the joint could have a problem that is causing the joint to become stuck open or closed, resulting in Facet Joint Pain.

What are some Facet Joint Pain causes? Some causes of Facet joint pain are: Wear and tear, Degeneration of Cartilage surfaces, Joint Capsule or associated Vertebral Discs, Injury or Trauma, Incorrect posture, Excessive forward head posture, Forward Pelvic Rotation, Abnormal spinal curvature, Hyperlordosis-excessive arch in the lower back, Scoliosis-Lateral Lumbar spinal curvature.

What are Facet Syndrome Symptoms of the Lower Back? Lower back pain or tenderness, increased pain upon side bending or twisting or arching the lower back or torso, deep dull aching pain that moves to the buttocks or the back of the thighs, and/or stiffness or difficulty with certain movements, such as standing up straight or getting up out of a chair are all symptoms of Lower back facet joint pain symptoms. The initial onset of pain might be related to a rotational spinal injury or a spinal injury involving hyperextension of the spine.

What are the Symptoms of Neck-Cervical Facet Syndrome? Neck Pain, Headaches, Shoulder Pain, and/or difficulty side bending or rotating the head are all Facet Join pain neck symptoms. Check to see if the Facet Joint Pain Assessment indicates the pain scale for the associated problems. Find out if there is a history of whiplash or any other kind of neck injury.

Is the Facet Joint moving freely, or is movement restricted and if so, how? That is one of the most important questions that needs to be answered. There is a special test known as the spring test which can test for basic joint movement.

Can Exercises Relieve my Facet Joint Pain? Compression of the lumbar facet joints can be caused by Lumbar Lordosis and hypertonic hip flexors and hypertonic lower back musculature, so stretching and strengthening exercises to reduce joint compression and help prevent joint fixation can help to reverse the postural distortion that has occurred. If the cervical (neck) spine is affected by excessive forward head posture and hypertonic neck musculature, there are strengthening and stretching exercises for postural correction and hypertonicity reduction as well. An experienced Medical Massage Therapist will be able to formulate an effective exercise treatment plan.

Hypnosis Turns Up The Volume For Fast Weight Loss

By Robert Hudak

Many of us deeply indulge in the monotonous daily routine; often overlook our health and appearance. What makes matters worse is a lot of us cannot discriminate between good food and inappropriate food. The end result, you start gaining weight. This process eliminates your ability for fast weight loss. This behavior is bad for your health and adversely affects your personality.

Most people who are over weight are eager to get it off so they are willing to count calories and following tough diet plans. On the quest for fast weight loss some people resort to unsafe weight loss supplements and surgery. While some of theses people may experience success, they are still in need of a major lifestyle change and need to alter the way they eat.

It would seem like a wonderful scenario to take a pill or have a simple surgery and a lifetime of weight problems will be over. If you are looking for fast weight loss then consider hypnosis. The process of hypnosis has been in existence for thousands of years. It has been a very effective tool in helping people use their minds to gain control of their bodies.

Accepting that you have a weight problem is the most important step in losing weight. There are a lot of people who live in denial about this issue and expect to one day lose all of their weight magically. You can experience fast weight loss by having your subconscious mind programmed using hypnosis and begin creating the life that you longed for and desire.

If you are looking to attain fast weight loss, hypnosis is the most powerful way to fulfill your goal. Many, especially in the area of weight loss and diet control, underestimate the power of hypnosis. By changing the way you think, your body will respond in a positive way. Remember that in most cases it has very little to do with what you are eating but rather what is eating you.

As you reach a comfortable state in hypnosis, you can be given suggestions to lose your cravings for improper foods such as sugar, and be given suggestion to start drinking more water. Hypnosis is a fun and easy way to be programmed for weight loss, making losing weight something that your body really enjoys.

Given suggestions while in hypnosis can have a lasting effect and there is no limit as to what can be accomplished through ongoing programming. Suggestions that are not reinforced have a tendency to weaken after four days. To prevent this from happening and experience fast weight loss, reinforce a new behavior on a daily basis. This can be achieved by listening to a hypnosis CD everyday.

When you are in the state of hypnosis, you will experience a deep relaxation. Thirty minutes of hypnosis is equivalent to natural sleep. This makes it easy for your mind to be programmed for fast weight loss even when you are asleep, therefore allowing your mind and body to work together and create the exact body that you dream of.

The success with hypnosis is achieved by listening to a hypnosis CD daily. Ongoing reinforcement can strengthen weak habits and completely illuminate the desire for inappropriate foods. This process will give you the will power, discipline, and self control you will need to achieve fast weight loss.
