Women, Why Lose Weight Naturally?

Because, otherwise, the fat will come back…

Unlike methods of losing weight that promise fast (but temporary) results, natural weight loss is for women looking for a lifetime solution. If you’ve lost weight through “quick and easy” methods, then you know how old habits (that made you gain weight) don’t just go away. These old habits made you gain the weight right back. This is why so many women struggle with weight loss. These unhealthy habits are unnatural (more on this later). They will stick with you like white on rice unless you replace them with natural healthy habits. Which brings us to the first of…

3 Natural Weight Loss Tips for Women

1. Don’t eat white rice, white bread, or white sugar. (If it’s white, it ain’t right…to eat.)
Why? Because it becomes sugar in your system at unnatural lightning speed. Your body can’t deal with all that sugar at once. So your body has to somehow deal with it… eventually storing most of it as FAT. (By the way, I’m not a doctor so please don’t mistaken any of this as medical advice.)

2. Don’t eat processed food.
What’s a processed food? Anything with added lab chemicals or preservatives. How can you tell? Generally, you can’t pronounce the name on the container. Why avoid these foods? Because preservatives stop food from breaking down. If you eat preservatives, your body cannot break down your food the same. It gets stuck in your body. You gain weight.

3. Don’t drink soda.
Same reason you don’t eat white rice, white bread, or white sugar… sugar rushes into your system forcing your body to store it as FAT (worse, it goes right to your belly as belly fat).

What If These Natural Weight Loss Tips Seem Unnatural?

Now if these tips seem unnatural to you it’s because of unnatural unhealthy habits. Let me explain by asking you this… Name an animal that eats or drinks any of the above in nature.

That’s right. The above doesn’t exist in nature. They’re available to you thanks to savvy businessmen. They know you can’t resist the instant gratification of something sweet (even if they know you’ll gain weight and maybe even die of diabetes because of it). You have to be smarter than them if you want to win your body back.

Don’t worry, there’s hope. I’m Asian and I felt sick, physically sick, each time I tried to stop eating white rice. Stereotypes aside, what was going on? My body was used to dealing with the daily JOLTS of sugar. It was confused when I stopped. After letting my body heal itself, my body now gets queasy if I eat white rice! My body naturally doesn’t want it any more.

This is the beauty of losing weight naturally. Your unnatural unhealthy habits are replaced by natural healthy habits. Once you’ve done it, you can’t go back. Your body simply won’t let you.

Women are inherently more vulnerable to all types of attack based on gender alone so our personal safety requires that we avoid making the most common and easily correctable mistakes. We are physically weaker, more nurturing and have been brought up to care for everyone else before ourselves. If we are strong, confident and assertive, we often get called derogatory names by those who lack confidence, strength and assertiveness.

Common Mistake #1

Being nurturing to a fault – Taking care of everyone before and instead of yourself.

How to prevent:

Remember, just like flight attendants tell us, help yourself first and then those around you.Taking care of others is great but make sure you are safe and healthy first and foremost. Staying healthy not only helps us make better decisions, it keeps us strong enough to escape when necessary.

Common Mistake #2

Ignoring gut feelings – Glossing over our instincts to be polite or keep from hurting others’ feelings puts us in danger.

How to prevent:

Trust your gut feelings. They are survival instincts you were born with and their job is to keep you alive. We are more in-tune with our gut feelings, which is why we hear a lot about “women’s intuition.” Call it what you want but always pay attention it!

Common Mistake #3

Disregarding the need for personal boundaries – We think everyone will treat us with respect and when they don’t, we tend to think we deserve it.

How to prevent:

Establish and enforce personal boundaries for yourself with regard to friend, work and family situations. Establishment requires acknowledging your worthiness and determining what is acceptable and unacceptable to you. Enforcement is deciding what you will say and or do if someone violates the boundaries you’ve established for your mental, emotional and physical safety.

You will have greater personal safety, physically, emotionally and mentally when you stop making these mistakes.

Women are familiar with intuition. We often just know things without any background support information. Sometimes we visualize an outcome, sometimes we hear what seems to be a silent answer to a question, sometimes we physically feel the correct thing to do and sometimes we just know without knowing how we know.

Intuition is also called gut feelings and the good news is that men, teens and kids can use gut feelings just as women do, to be safer and make good choices. Since women are the biggest cheerleaders for the safety of their loved ones, let’s make sure we are clear about how gut feelings work and how to use them to our advantage.

About Gut Feelings

Survival instincts we were born with Their job is to keep us alive They are personal to each individual No need to compare as they may be opposite of someone else’s gut feelings What may be safe for you may not be for your friend, co-worker and vice versa They are either good or bad (indifferent can be put in the good category) You have them about every person, place and situation in your life The key is to listen, feel, see and follow them when they are strongest Following them always is a great idea but rarely done
Examples of Gut Feelings

You meet someone for the first time and like them instantly You meet someone for the first time and dislike them without knowing why Someone tells you something and you have a feeling it is untrue You have a decision to make and although info points to one choice, you feel the other is best You know something is going to turn out a certain way without evidence to support it You get a creepy feeling about someone and know they are unsafe for you to be near
Acknowledging Your Gut Feelings

You may not have realized that you always have gut feelings about everything in your life. To prove this, think of someone you love and notice the first feeling or sense you have about that person. Next, think of someone who is dis-empowering or weakens you and notice what you feel, hear or sense. Although these feelings may come from already knowing these people, this exercise demonstrates how opposite gut feelings feel.

A vital part of living safely emotionally is knowing what and who strengthens you and what or who weakens you. Obviously, you cannot live your best life by immersing yourself in that which weakens you. Gut feelings are the perfect way to determine where you should be, what you should be doing and who you should allow in your life. My article on the #4 Personal Safety Secret for Women on Personal Boundaries is a must read if this interests you.

How Using Gut Feelings Creates Your Safer Future

By acknowledging gut feelings and realizing how often you have them, yours will become finely tuned. This is the absolute best way to live safer but you have to also follow them!

Example: You and your daughter are walking into the grocery store. A woman in the store prompts a bad gut feeling in you and you can tell that your daughter is uncomfortable as well. The woman asks you a question. Do you ignore your bad gut feeling so as not to offend her and answer her question against your better judgment? Remember, although she may not be an axe murdered, your gut feelings are survival instincts you were born with! Besides, if someone gives you the creeps, if anyone should be offended, it should be you.

So what should you do? Pretend you did not hear the question or excuse yourself and walk away quickly, pretend to get a phone call, etc. Your safety and that of your daughter are most important, period.

It could be that you answer the woman’s question and nothing bad happens. That’s great, but what about next time? What did you just demonstrate for your daughter to model later? Probably that it is important to be polite at any cost and that other people are more important than you are. These are subliminal messages, for the most part, but crucial to personal safety. Consider that this situation was a quiz, preparing you or your daughter for a bigger test in the future. Will you pass? Will she?

Why We Often Ignore Our Gut Feelings

The above example illustrates the very reason we so often put ourselves into dangerous situations emotionally and physically by ignoring our gut feelings. We, as women, are taught to always be polite and help others. That’s great but we make ourselves so vulnerable that we have no protection at all! We become so concerned that people won’t like us or that we will offend someone that we gloss over our survival instincts in favor of our delicate self-esteem.

Women have different fitness needs than men. While they both need to have strength training, many men prefer muscle building exercises such as weight lifting.

Women’s fitness programs do have weight lifting, but not to the extent of men. Women need to have exercises that utilize the muscles of the upper back, rather than the chest. This is so that the shoulder blades will be able to pull together better to support their chest. This is critical to counterbalancing the bodies of women.

The stomach muscles of women, particularly of those that have just given birth, are some of the weakest muscles in a woman’s body. Exercises need to focus on strengthening these muscles, because the back tends to take most of the strain of the weaker muscles.

Even during pregnancy, it is important for women to exercise with light aerobics or aerobic machines to help them have a trouble free pregnancy and delivery. New mothers need exercise to increase their cardio circulation so that they can have the energy needed to care for the new baby.

Women who do not exercise on a regular basis tend to lose at least 5 pounds of muscle every ten years. This results in a lower metabolism, which further hinders weight loss. Most of the exercises in fitness programs are designed for both men and women, who exercise at a rate that is right for their individual needs.

So, there you have it. The differences in the fitness needs for men and women.

Women’s diet supplements have become very popular nowadays. They have realized that getting a good weight has a lot to do with good eating habits. The whole false connection is that this has not led them to eat healthily. There is an inherent problem to all of this.

This lies in the fact that in today’s hectic schedule few get the time to plan out healthy meals. It is much easier instead to choose a bag of unhealthy fatty snacks at a take away counter just on the way to office.

Where will you go? Grocery stores are also fully packed with processed and frozen food counters. These have become such a popular choice habit that it is not possible to avoid them in our daily lives; that is not unless you are very health conscious.

To tell you the truth, dehydrated potatoes and orange dust do not account for much nutrition on your diet chart. The processed oil and fat in them do account for a heap of energy (code name for ‘calories’) that never gets used and thus gets stored inside the body as ‘fat’.

This is why supplements have become such an important part of our lives. You may eat healthy but even then there is no guarantee that your body is getting all the right minerals. And if you do not practice healthy eating, why there is all the more reason to go for supplements.

Whole food sources are the best sources of nutrients for the body- that’s right, fresh vegetables and fruits. In any case, supplements include a lot of important nutrients that we tend to miss out. So it is best to take women diet supplements. This will help you not only with your health but also weight loss.

While choosing supplements for women weight loss, there are five chief considerations that you have to keep in mind.

1. Gender Specific formula- This is important. Your bodily needs will differ according to your sex. Men and women need different things. A good woman weight loss supplement will be tailor made for your needs.

2. Morning and Evening Formulations- This is another important feature of the right women weight loss supplements. The range of nutrients our body requires during the day is different from the ones required during evening. Morning nutrients provide us energy while evening nutrients helps us to repair and replenish our body mainly.

3. Good Manufacturer- Independent analyzing and testing of the women weight loss supplements should be done. The best possible scientific research from a reputed organization should be able to back up your woman weight loss plan or supplement. A reputed producer will always take care of this feature.

4. Buy Capsules, not Tablets- Tablets contain more filler and hence are not absorbed easily. Capsules are better.

5. Go for Chelated Minerals- the process of chelation binds amino acids and fatty acids to the mineral. This helps in the easy absorption of the mineral in the body. Always go for chelated minerals in women diet supplements.

Women are always looking for better ways to help protect themselves. In this day and time, with the rapid rise in crime, she would be unintelligent to do otherwise.

Years ago, the products made for women to carry for protection were often bulky and hard to hide. Women used such things as pepper spray, Mace, whistles and even tasers. However, when these items first came out, they weren’t compact in size so it was difficult for women to have a bit of protection when needed. After all, you can’t go around carrying a weapon out in the open. That would be just the ticket the bad guys needed so that they could jump you and try to take it away from you. We’ve all seen reports of police officers having their weapons taken away from them by criminals; what’s to stop them from doing the same to a woman?

Thankfully, times have changed and now there is a new version of the taser that is inexpensive and compact. Keep in mind that there are many places where tasers are illegal to carry. For the fortunate places where people are allowed to carry them, women now have a great little tool for their personal protection. This little tool packs quite a punch and it is called the Taser C2. This is made by the ever popular Taser International.

It is a known fact that men can be stronger and more dominating than women, so it is only natural for a woman to want to protect herself. This taser is tiny enough to fit into a woman’s purse and will slip into her pocket. It can even be color coordinated as an accessory as it comes in many different colors such as silver, black, blue and even pink. Taser International stated that their number one consumer is women.

The Taser C2 will run you around $300 but for the punch it packs, it is well worth it. After all, your life and personal safety is worth more than $300, isn’t it? The C2 has the same 50,000 volts just like the tasers that the police carry. Even though women are the top consumer for this product, it is still bought by men as well. After all, everyone needs protection. Some people even go through training on how to use one just to be sure that they’re doing it properly and not causing unwanted harm to someone. By simply pressing a button, this Taser fires two probes into your target. These probes look like barbs and their job is to make contact with a person in order to make a circuit. If you were to test this on a foil target, you could actually see how much power the 50,000 V carries. This type of shock from a taser can last for up to 30 seconds, which gives you a good chance to get away.

If you happen to miss your target, you still have the opportunity to walk up and shock them at close range with the same intensity. It comes equipped with a flashlight as well, so you can see what you’re doing in the dark. It is truly something that no woman wants to be without.

No man either, if he’s smart.
