Having worked in the health and weight loss industry as a certified personal trainer, nutrition specialist, and health coach, I've had so many clients tell me they love their desserts or a chocolate or sugar fix. Yet, when they want to lose weight they don't want to give them up. So that's why my absolutely delicious chocolate dessert was created. It doesn't contain the bad fats, sugars, additives and chemicals that most desserts do. This is just one of my many healthy desserts that tastes amazing, is packed full of goodness and could help you lose weight - yes, that's right. Plus, it's so simple to make. Read on to find out more. I usually tell my clients that they can have a "day off" per week from their weight loss meal plan. So on that day off, they think by having a sweet treat labelled "low fat", "no fat", "fat free" or "99% fat free" then that's OK. Well the truth is, no it's not OK! Why? ...

When it comes to weight loss, there is no dearth of advice. The internet is flooded with tips on how to lose weight. But how many of these tips will get you results? You will never know. In this article, I am listing out selective tips that have proven to work well and have helped people to lose weight. These tips may appear simple but they are powerful. You will know how effective these tips are only when you start using them. 1) Make less use of your automobile Whether you are used to use a car or to ride a bike, make a conscious effort to look for opportunities for not using your automobile.

It is a simple advice but as I said in the beginning, it is very effective. The chances are that you have not tried this out so far. You will be amazed to know how many calories you can burn by walking or cycling for a short while every day. 2...

This article is about following the right advice. Anyone on the internet can himself an expert. It does not necessarily means that you start listening to that person. Honesty is a major factor to gain the trust. I have seen myself struggling with the extra pounds. I have read hundreds of articles on the internet only to find that it was all poor information. No one tells you the real secret of losing weight. All articles are ditto copy of other articles. There are few websites that will give you real information. No doubt, these websites are the top ones in the industry. I know, I should drink 12 glasses of water and do some exercise. It does not work. You cannot just lose weight by making some diet changes. People do not struggle because they lack the right information. They face difficulties because they do not know where to start. It is like going in the dark without having any goal. Every year thousands of people start a new objective. In the end, very few people achieve the...

Most people who read my articles and e-books know me as a science guy who likes to quote studies and apply research to everyday problems such as weight loss, bodybuilding, and other health/fitness related topics. However, sometimes you have to step back from the science and look at the big picture to help bring people back into focus, so they can see the forest for the trees, so to speak. For most people reading this article, finding an effective diet that works most of the time must seem as complicated as nuclear physics. It's not, but there are a bewildering number of choices for diets out there. High fat or no fat? High carbohydrate or no carbohydrate? Low protein or high protein? To make matters worse, there are a million variations and combinations to the above diet scenarios to add to the confusion. It seems endless and causes many people to throw up their hands in frustration and give up. In this article I will attempt to change all that. There are some general guidel...

For severely overweight individuals that have failed to see results from diet and exercise alone, weight-loss surgery has become the safest and most effective means of achieving significant weight loss. In fact, studies have shown that with diet and exercise alone, nearly 95% of obese patients will gain all the lost weight back within 5 years. On the other hand, long-term success rates for weight-loss surgery - including the LAP-BAND procedure - are remarkably high, allowing patients to maintain a loss of between 50-70% of their excess body weight. Though there are many factors that can impact an individual patient's weight-loss success, weight-loss surgery is simply the most effective long-term weight loss and healthy lifestyle solution for severely obese patients. Studies show that most patients that undergo weight-loss surgery will lose between 50-70% of their excess body weight within the first three years following their procedure. Those that undergo gastric bypass surger...
