Lose Weight Eating Junk Food

It's been awhile since I've actually written anything on this blog outside of posting various exercise videos (which by the way, I hope you have enjoyed). So today you'll actually read something with some more substance and what better kind of substance than everyone's favorite topic...Junk Food.

A nutrition professor from Kansas is experimenting with losing weight....while eating junk food.



Basically, for 30 days he's eating high calorie, high fat food, but, keeping it within 1,800 calories a day. His goal in this is to show that even though he's eating junk food, he can still maintain or lose weight.

After that 30 days, he's going to flip it around and eat healthy foods, but eat more calories than what his body needs to maintain his body weight in order to show that even if you eat healthy foods, if you eat too much of them, you can gain weight.

The results so far on the junk food diet: in 6 weeks he lost 19 pounds... No word yet on when he'll start the weight gain exercise with the healthy foods so I'm going to keep up on this and she what happens.

The overall point that I think he's trying to make is a good one: No matter what kind of food you eat, CALORIES COUNT. If you eat less than what your body needs, you're going to lose weight and if you eat more than what your body needs, you're going to gain weight, regardless of the type of food you are eating.

With that said though, I wouldn't recommend dropping the broccoli and salmon for a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. He is only demonstrating what the effects are on weight loss. He's been monitoring other health indicators while doing this junk food diet and blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol have all INCREASED.

Which again bring up a great point: Just because you are losing weight, doesn't necessarily mean that you're getting healthier.

I know that I do a lot of stressing about keeping it simple by sticking with meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and oils. It works for me. It might work for you. But another form of eating might work for you if you’re just not into eating those kinds of foods. You just have to remember that if losing weight is your goal, to make sure you are keeping your calories lower than what your body needs.

Does that mean you have to measure out all your food, count calories, etc.? If you want to do it that way or if that’s how you stayed disciplined, then you can do that. But it’s not required. If you simply monitor what you eat, and watch your weight on the scale and take a measurement around your waist at your belly button on a weekly basis, that should be good enough. If you see the scale go down from week to week as well as the measurement around your waist, then you know you’re on the right track. See it stay the same or increase from week to week, then you know you’re eating too much and you need to eat less.

Which again, going back to the way that I think works well for eating (keeping it to various meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and oils), in various portions and timing of your meals that I lay out in the Fat Loss Nutritional Guide that comes along with the membership option of the 30 Minute Workout, makes it very simple to follow with a variety of food for even the pickiest of eaters, AND enhances that fat loss effect.

Give the 30-Minute at Home Workout a try, take a look at the nutritional guidelines that I set out for you, and see what you think. It only costs $4.95 to try out and if you’re not impressed, you can just go ahead and cancel it and all you lost was just one day worth of your favorite coffee drink at Starbucks.

This doesn’t have to be complicated. Want to lose weight: Eat less food. What to lose weight and see overall healthy results: Eat less healthy food, and exercise.

Playground Ab Workout - Swing Set

You're at the playground with your kids. Guess what? You can get a workout in too. And I've got a great ab workout you can do right there on the swing set.

Take a watch of this video as I explain it and the description is below:



Direct link to Video:

Playground Ab Workout - Swing Set

Four Exercises in a row doing each exercise for 30 seconds each. After completing those 4 exercises in a row, rest 30 seconds, and then do that circuit of exercises again, followed again by 30 seconds of rest and then do that circuit one more time. The exercises are:

1. Swing Jacknife
2. Side Plank on Forearm and side of feet on swing with a hip raise on left side
3. Plank on forearms and feet on swing with an ab lift.
4. Side Plank on Forearm and side of feet on swing with a hip raise on right side.

Should take you less than 10 minutes to get through it.

Just another way to get a workout in any place and anytime (and a great way to lead by example in front of your kids too).

Beginner Workout Routine

I put together a short little Beginner Workout Routine for those that are at the "thinking stage" of starting to work out. Hopefully this will show you that no matter where you are in your physical health, you can start out with something as simple as this and work your way up as you get stronger and in better condition. In order to get to the top of the stairs, you simply have to lift your leg up to that first step.

Take a look and the workout should take you about 10 minutes to get through:

Pants Sizes Don't Add Up

I wrote back about a month ago about how I had an experience in the store when trying on some new pants and wrote about how your pants are lying to you.

Well, strange coincidence, there was a segment on ABC news on the EXACT same thing and in fact, some of the commentary that is used in the segment sound almost verbatim in how I put it in that blog post (okay, I'm done caressing my ego...). Anyway, take a look at the segment on this video clip from ABC News on it:
