Get Skinny Quck-How to Avoid America's Biggest Health Threats

If you desire to get skinny quick, you gotta avoid these health risks that face many American's.

What exactly are these? Read on!

America's Biggest Health Threats (and How You Can Overcome Them)

as reported by http://www.Fitnessmagazine.com

On her reality show, Could You Survive?, health-and-fitness guru Pamela Peeke, MD, teaches real women how to get fit enough to be prepared for anything. Here, she shares her get-fit strategies for surviving everyday life's biggest challenges, from couch potato syndrome to the hidden health risks in your pantry.

Get Fit to Survive

If you had to scale a cliff to get help or run down 20 flights of stairs to escape a burning building, could you do it? For too many people, the answer is no. That's why health-and-fitness guru Pamela Peeke, MD, is on a mission to toughen us up -- before disaster strikes. Use her get-fit strategies to make sure you're ready for anything.

Hurricanes. Car crashes. Forest fires.

Thanks to global warming and a world that's crazier and more crowded than ever, the chance that any one of us will be involved in a 911 situation is on the rise. Yet our ability to get through it is in question. More than half of Americans don't do enough activity to get any true health benefit, and 25 percent of us never exercise, period. That has FITNESS advisory board member Pamela Peeke, MD, freaked out. "People think, 'Oh, if I really had to sprint a mile in an emergency, I could,'" says Dr. Peeke, host of a new reality show called Could You Survive? that debuts on the Discovery Health Channel on December 4. "But the truth is, lots of them couldn't pull it off." She points to Hurricane Katrina as an example. "I saw one woman on the news who lacked the stamina to hold on to the bough of a tree long enough for a rescuer to reach her," she says. "The coverage was so tragic -- and eye-opening -- that it gave me the idea for my TV series."

Here's how the show works: On Day One, participants are put in the middle of a (staged) disaster, such as a building collapse or a car wreck, and they have to make their way to safety. Not a single person gets through fast enough to save herself. "Realizing so dramatically that their lives are at stake is the best motivation these women have ever had to get in shape," Dr. Peeke says. With help from her and a team of former Marines, the contestants make over their diets and work out four days a week. They build muscle and increase their strength and endurance. Then, one month later, they get the chance to redo (and survive) their disaster challenges.

On the next few pages we'll teach you how to steer clear of five truly sneaky fat traps you face every day.

Health Risk #1: Your Couch

The Culprit: Your couch. "Our culture gives us every excuse not to move," Dr. Peeke says. "We're either glued to our computers, driving someplace, or vegging in front of the TV." And with every step we don't take, we get more and more out of shape.

The Fix: Work in a little exercise whenever you can -- do biceps curls while reading e-mail, get in some lunges while waiting for your laundry to dry. Or do as many bent-knee push-ups as possible. You'll strengthen five muscles at one time.

More tips will follow in the next post!

Before and After: How These Real Women Get Fit

To help us get skinny quick in safe and healthy ways, it can be encouraging to read the stories of real women who did it.

I know you will love these testimonials!

Before and After: How These Real Women Get Fit
On the reality TV show, Could You Survive?, health-and-fitness guru Pamela Peeke, MD, helps real women to get fit enough to take on extreme real-life challenges. Here, meet the women of the show who dramatically changed their bodies and lives as they share how they got stronger, faster, fitter, and happier.

I Needed to Get Healthy for My Kids

Abbie de Vera-Jackson
Age: 31
Weight before the show: 179 lbs.
Weight now: 148 lbs.

Body Bio: "I've been overweight my whole life. But during my first day on the TV show, I realized I'd never be able to save my two sons, ages 2 1/2 and 11 months -- or myself -- in an emergency. After that, I was determined to get buff, especially because my husband is an army lieutenant who could get deployed to Iraq at any time. My kids need me!"

I Got My Energy Back

Naimeh Holmes
Age: 29
Weight before the show: 187 lbs.
Weight now: 164 lbs.

Body Bio: "When I hit puberty, I gained a lot of weight; by age 18, I weighed 206 pounds. I tried all sorts of diets, but I could rarely ever get my weight below 190. I was so unhealthy that some days I didn't even have the energy to get out of bed."

I Ran My First Marathon

Christine Barger
Age: 28
Weight before the show: 175 lbs.
Weight now: 140 lbs.

Body Bio: "I started putting on extra weight in high school; at age 25, I was a size 12. I tried cutting carbs, which helped me drop to an 8, but as soon as I went off the diet, I ballooned again. I'm an actress, and I thought I was going to scream if I heard one more casting director say, 'Great performance, but wrong body type.'"

Getting Fit Boosted My Confidence

Donna Early
Age: 36
Weight before the show: 190 lbs.
Weight now: 173 lbs.

Body Bio: "I was so thin when I was a teen that my mother was always telling me to gain weight. About five years ago, though, my metabolism slowed down. And thanks to late-night munching and always piling my plate with food, I started getting chubby."

These are inspiring stories. For before and after pictures, visit http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/health/body/head-to-toe/real-women-get-fit/

Get Skinny Quick-15 Ways to Eat Healthy

Lots of us want to get skinny quick. For me though, I want to do it in a healthy way.

One thing that all of us can easily do is to make some dietary changes.

If you are ready to find out the 15 things you can do to eat healthy, you will love this!

15 Ways to Eat Healthy

Make over your diet in 15 easy steps.

1. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables

We love carbs as much as the next person, and there've been occasions when I've walked several blocks out of my way to get meat on a stick. But research shows that eating a rainbow of fruits and veggies provides a boon of benefits, including protection against cancer, heart disease, and the effects of aging -- something that probably couldn't be said for devouring copious amounts of shawarma.

"Ultimately, the food pyramid recommends a total of nine servings of fruits and vegetables," says Lisa Young, PhD, author of The Portion Teller Plan and adjunct professor of nutrition at New York University. "However, if that seems daunting, rather than fixate on a fixed amount, make sure to have just one vegetable or fruit with each meal." Whether that means adding a banana to your morning cereal or putting tomato and lettuce on your lunchtime turkey sandwich, it's an easy way to get your greens in without keeping a tally sheet.

Or practice the "50 percent rule": aim to have half of your lunch or dinner plate covered in veggies. Not only will this help you get your nutrition fix in, but you'll also likely shed some weight: "Each bite of vegetable has 3 to 4 times fewer calories than any other bite of food on your plate," says Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.

Get Skinny Quick-

One of the things that all of us should do who desire to get skinny quick is eat healthy snacks.

Too many times we kind of go for the junk food like those 100 calorie Cheetos! I am guilty of this myself too!

It would help if we knew that type of healthy snacks to eat, so in this article Jocelyn Voo helps to guide us:

The Best Natural Snacks By Jocelyn Voo

Second only to food that's plucked from the ground, these snacks are made with natural ingredients, with no preservatives, artificial ingredients, or additives. Whether you're craving sweet or salty, these natural snacks will hit the spot.

Kashi Autumn Wheat

Organic whole-grain wheat, organic evaporated cane juice, natural flavor. Those are the only three ingredients in Kashi's Autumn Wheat cereal. Simple formula, but think shredded wheat on steroids. It's USDA certified organic, low fat, cholesterol and sodium free, and provides a quarter of your daily fiber needs per cup. Plus, the bite-size biscuits actually taste really, really good -- liked by both adults and 2-year-olds (seriously). And for a breakfast cereal, there's no more rigorous taste test than that.

Nutrition: (1 cup): 190 calories, 1g fat, 45g carbohydrates, 0g sodium, 6g fiber, 5g protein

Price: $3.50 for a 17.5-ounce box

Where to buy: Major retailers, including Whole Foods, Target, Publix, and Wegmans.

Stacy's Parmesan Garlic and Herb Pita Chips

If you're hankering for something crunchy and salty, these will do the trick. These baked pita chips, seasoned with Parmesan cheese, garlic, and parsley, are good straight out of the bag, if a bit dry. However, pair them with hummus or a dip and these sturdy snacks certainly won't be suffering from limp-chip syndrome.

Other favorite flavors include Cinnamon Sugar (just the right amount of sweetness) and Multigrain (a nutty flavor from the rolled oats and sesame seeds), though these versions are slightly less friendly on the waistline.

Nutrition: (1 ounce, about 12 chips): 140 calories, 5g fat (0.5g saturated), 19g carbohydrates, 200mg sodium, 2g fiber, 4g protein

Price: $3.25 for a 6-ounce bag

Where to buy: Major retailers, including Safeway, Kroger, Whole Foods, Publix, Target, and CVS

FAGE Total 2% Peach Yogurt

FAGE Greek Yogurt's tagline, "ridiculously thick yogurt," is not hyperbole; think the consistency of softened cream cheese, making for an incredibly rich, creamy texture. But their 2% line also comes in four different flavors in addition to plain -- peach, strawberry, cherry, and honey -- so that while this all-natural snack delivers all the protein of a lowfat yogurt, it also tastes like dessert. In our humble opinion, no other yogurt -- Greek or regular -- comes close to FAGE (and we've tasted a lot of yogurt).

As might be expected, FAGE is pricier than the average yogurt, and sadly, the brand sometimes seems to be elusive in certain regions. But when you do find it, trust us -- stock up. You'll be glad to have an emergency stash when a craving hits.

Nutrition: (5.3-ounce serving): 130 calories, 2.5g fat (1.5g saturated), 18g carbohydrates, 40mg sodium, 11g protein

Price: about $1.79 per 5.3-ounce cup

Where to buy: Fine food and health food stores, including Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. Plain Fage Total 2% is also available at Amazon.com.

Get Skinny Quick-How and Why You Shouldn’t Have to Go Though It Alone

Are you a woman who is looking to lose weight? Whether you are interested in losing weight to improve your physical appearance, your health, or both, you may be feeling a little bit hopeless. While many women are able to lose weight when they want to do so, others have a little bit harder time. If you are finding it difficult to lose weight, it may be because you are trying to go about losing weight all on your own.

When it comes to weight loss, there are many women who find it easier, as well as less embarrassing, to doing their own weight loss program from home. While it is more than possible to exercise and workout by yourself, do you know that you don’t have to? In fact, many women who have a workout partner or a workout buddy find it easier to lose weight than going at it along. Two popular reasons as to why those who have a workout partner or a workout buddy see success is because of support and motivation.

As nice as it is to hear that you should think about getting a workout buddy or a workout partner, to help you exercise and to help you lose weight, you may be wondering where that person may come from. Unfortunately, many women do not realize that they don’t actually have to look very far. If you are married or if you have a romantic partner, you may want to think about asking them to join you. Even if your partner isn’t a fan of exercising and working out, you can place a “quality time,” spin on it. In fact, if your partner is a little bit overweight or out of shape themselves, they may even want to join you in your weight loss adventures. This is the ultimate show of support.

In addition to a romantic partner, you may want to think about asking any of your friends or family members if they would like to be your workout buddy or workout partner. When approaching your friends or family members, it is important to not focus on their weight or their physical appearance. Unfortunately, many women make the mistake of assuming that those that they know who are already in perfect shape wouldn’t have any reason to exercise, but you may be surprised. For that reason, you are advised to ask any friends or family members that you know to join you when you workout.

If you have asked those that you know to join you as a workout buddy or a workout partner and you have still come up empty handed, you may want to consider joining a weight loss program. Locally operated weight loss programs are ideal, as you often get membership perks, like access to proven exercises, as well as healthy meals. Another benefit to joining a locally operated weight loss program is the support from other members. There is a good chance that one or more of your other weight loss program members would love to join you when you exercise.

If and when you get a workout buddy, it may be a good idea to “spice up,” your exercises a bit. For instance, you may want to let your workout buddy or partner choose your exercises or activities for one day and then you choose for the next. This may help to keep your exercises fun and exciting.

How to Get Skinny Quick-5 Quick Tricks to Burn Fat

One of the strategies you can use to get skinny quick is really focus on fat loss. Losing excess fat can cause you to look like a new person!

Here are 5 quick tips that you can use to fire up that metabolism so you can lose all that fat!

5 Quick Tricks to Burn Fat
By Christopher D Fox

Sometimes all we need to put us over the top towards a goal is a little advantage to give us an extra edge. When it comes to losing weight a little extra info or a light bulb awakening tip can go a long way towards helping us get into or back into shape. You can use the quick tricks to give you that extra edge and crank up your fat burning metabolism furnace.

One trick is using poles when you walk. It is common knowledge that walking can help to burn fat and lose weight but a lot of people do not realize adding in walking poles can actually turn up the benefit level by 15 or 20 percent. It really makes sense when you think about it because most elliptical machines come with hand supports that move in concert with the foot portion to give you a boost. If you are already in a walking workout routine or plan to start one it is very easy to add in the extra effort of walking poles to get an immediate edge.

Another simple trick is to make sure you get your whole grain carbohydrates in first thing in the morning. Studies have shown that complex carbs such as whole grains will promote better and more fat burning throughout the day than if you were to take in carbs through a simpler and quicker burning source such as wheat toast. Since you are already eating breakfast everyday this is another very easy way to up your potential fat burning.

More protein will also give you an edge in the fat loss department. Studies have shown that people who consume a good 40 percent of their calories from protein burned more fat than people getting less protein from the same amount of calories. Make sure you are consuming protein from quality sources such as lean beef, fish, and eggs. Also watch out for cholesterol in egg yolks. Too much can counteract the benefits of the protein.

Are you getting in some resistance or strength training? If you want to burn fat at the highest rate you should be. A simple trick to help out the weight loss is to do a quick strength training regimen during the week. This does not mean you have to go all out like a bodybuilder but just a light workout with weights can be very beneficial. Adding muscle mass (even a little) not only adds to your overall toned look and shape but really does a great amount of fat burning on its own.

Finally staying hydrated and drinking plenty of water is essential to getting rid of excess body fat. To give your water intake an extra boost you might want to consider drinking only water as your drink throughout the day. In this way you make sure you are properly hydrated at all times and you also get the benefit of making certain your calories are coming from nutritious food instead of sugary drinks (even fruit juice contains natural sugars).
