			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many of us have experienced the frustration of regaining weight that we had previously lost. Would you like to find a way to lose weight and make sure that it stays gone? Below you will find some easy steps to reach some of your goals but keep in mind that there are no secret formulas to get it done. You don&#8217;t have to live with that excess fat that you don&#8217;t want, you can get rid of it.</p>
<p>If you are going to get rid of your excess fat then it will require a lifestyle change on your part. This does not involve merely a diet.  It involves changing many things about the way that you currently run your life.  Are you prepared for this? You have got to pay attention to what you eat.  Too many people fail to realize the connection between what they eat and how they look.   You cannot get rid of excess fat if you do not watch what you put in your pie hole.  You must pay attention to nutrition.  After all, you are what you eat. You must make sure that you body gets the right amount of calories to function but also that it get those calories in the<br />
right way.  Your body must get proper nutrients. </p>
<p>How many calories does your body need?  This is where you need to start if you are going to get rid of that unwanted fat. Many people believe they should cut there caloric intake dramatically.  This is the opposite of what is true.  Your body will hold onto every calorie that you eat if you cut your calories too drastically because your body has a survival mode. The most that you should ever cut you calorie intake by is 20%.  It is obvious that you do need to cut out some calories but just don&#8217;t do it in so drastic a fashion that your body tries to hang onto everything it takes in. </p>
<p>If you want to get rid of excess fat then you need to take a look at how many times a day you are eating. Your body needs 5-7 small meals spread out throughout the day for your body to lose excess fat for good.   The frequent meals will keep your metabolism running high and will help balance your blood sugar and insulin levels. </p>
<p>You must give your body the proper macronutrients in order to lose excess and unwanted fat. The correct proportion would be something similar to this:  20% fat, 35% protein and 45% carbohydrates. Each and every meal that you eat should contain the following:  lean protein, healthy fats, and high fiber carbohydrates. Remember that this is lifestyle change.  Do not abandon your program when you have reached your goals.  You cannot only perform these activities for a short amount of time, they must become a habit. Your new healthy lifestyle should be permanent. If you follow the above tips and incorporate them into your daily routine you should begin to find success in getting rid of that unwanted fat.   </p>

<div><em><strong>John Graham Baines</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>The answer is YES. I know many of you are probably sceptical about using body weight exercises to build a strong and lean physique. The truth is the body cannot distinguish between your own body weight and a weight being lifted up. Both forms of exercises provide plenty of resistance the only difference being the type of exercises.<br/><br/>Gymnasts are a good example of the type of people who only use body weight exercises. They build their physiques for function first then ornamental second.<br/><br/>By using intense resistance exercises that can only be sustained for less than five repetitions the body focuses on using the nervous system to recruit as many muscle fibres as possible. This is known as &#8220;neural adaptation&#8221;. You build the greatest amount of strength using this form of training.<br/><br/>To train for muscular hypertrophy you adjust the intensity of the body weight exercises so that you have a rep range between eight to twelve reps. You can adjust the intensity by using easier variations of the body weight exercises.<br/><br/>To train for endurance you adjust the intensity of the body weight exercises so that you have a rep range between fifteen and fifty.<br/><br/>Some good old fashioned exercises include:<br/><br/>*Pushups, pullups, chinups, squats and janda situps.<br/><br/>Although these exercises may not seem like much they are in fact the most effective in building muscle simply because they involve multiple joints and allow your body to move in space rather than your arms and hands. It is also recommended that one trains with these basic exercises before moving onto weights if one chooses to.<br/><br/>For more information on building a strong and lean physique visit below:<br/><br/>http://buildmusclenoweights.blogspot.com/<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href='http://getbigandripped.com'>Get Ripped</a></div>
