Sometimes the best diets to follow are the ones that are the most customizable. Flexibility and the freedom to choose from a wide variety of foods make the dieting experience a whole lot easier. One of the primary reasons why most diets fail is due to the lack of flexibility, the rigidity, and the need for strict discipline, self-control, and curbing your cravings through self-denial.

If you can customize your own diet, then you will be able to make sensible choices while enjoying the foods that you eat. You will be less inclined to cheat on your diet. You will be less tempted to cave into your cravings. You will be less likely to give up. You will stay more focused and more motivated, because it is no longer about denial but about freedom.

I just got back from 2 weeks of off-and-on travel that included being away from my studio for 9 out the last 14 days. This meant that I had to endure almost 30 hours of being on a plane and standing in airport security line check-ins.

My big question was: how am I going to keep my nutrition and exercise going while I’m away and out of my normal routine?

I’m sure you’ve experienced this problem before and have found that your level of compliance starts to drop (or completely fall off) when you are away on business or vacation.

Does this sound like you? Up by 4:30 AM. Get the kids ready for school. Meeting with the boss at eight and you can’t be late. Errands to run in the evening. Come home and cook dinner. Get the kids ready for bed and get ready to repeat the whole process again for tomorrow.

If this is a typical day for you it’s of little wonder that you don’t have time to exercise and watch what you eat. In our society everything is rush, rush, rush. A hectic day is now the norm for many of you and there doesn’t seem like there is any end in sight.

The main problem with many of the ‘lose weight’ programs out there is that they teach people the logic of their behaviours (e.g., over-eating or not exercising), but what they rarely address are the root causes of these behaviours - people’s thoughts and feelings- their emotions.

The first and perhaps the most critical step in helping you to lose weight, is to understand that oftentimes your weight problems are the result of your emotions. Let me explain what I mean.

The market for weight loss programs is vast and there are many differing ideas out there. The sheer scale of choice can be a discouragement to many that are seeking a way to healthy weight loss. The plan which works for some may be doomed for failure when it is tried by others and this make the choice even more disheartening.

Ab exercises aren’t the only thing you have to do in order to get your 6-pack. You also have to work hard on your diet as well, sticking to a fat-burning, muscle-building diet all year round.

Here’s a list of 3 common myths about abs.

Myth 1) Exercise is more important that nutrition

Diet is first and foremost the key factor when trying to get 6-pack abs. Plan your nutrition in advance, to avoid dietary downfalls. Focus on protein, green vegetables, fiber-rich fruits, and zero calorie drinks such as Green Tea and water. Avoid all sugar.

You need physical activity to lose weight. Even with diet pills and eating properly,
you will find it difficult to lose weight without increasing your physical activity.
Exercising will help burn calories that are converted into fat. It is important to find
some activity that fits your abilities and that you enjoy.

The majority of us don’t like to exercise. It either seems like too much work or it
is difficult to fit into our schedule. The fact is that it is work. It, however, does
not have to be tedious work. There are probably activities that you love to do
that qualify as exercise.

A panel of nutrition experts at Consumer Reports conducted an in-depth analysis of diets and dieting and made a shocking discovery. The surprising finding is that the basic diet strategy that many programs have used for years— labeling some foods as evil and others as good — may be part of what’s undermined so many dieters attempts at weight loss.

The bottom line is that smart diets focus on small, simple shifts in lifestyle (like the Enlita Weight Loss Program) instead of highly restrictive diets.

Choosing a Comprehensive Diet Program

This is a letter from your ol’ pal, belly fat. We had a great run this summer, didn’t we? Lots of good times, great food, and plain ol’ sitting around eating too much.

Well, I’m thinking about sticking around another year if you don’t mind. But you might need to get a bigger pair of pants, as I was thinking about expanding my place down here.

So do me a favor, avoid that interval training you were thinking of doing. The last time you did that stuff, I nearly had to look for a new place to live. I felt like the Wicked Witch of the West in the land of Oz. Did you hear me yelling, “Help me, I’m melting!”?

As part of your effort to lose and maintain your weight, eating right is the key to long term weight control and living a quality life. This means you need to maintain a balanced and healthy diet.

One of the key nutrients for our body is protein. Protein is essential for our body to form structural components such as muscle tissue, connective tissues and the support tissue inside bones and teeth. And the lack of it will weaken the immune system, delay healing from injury and slower metabolism. It also helps to maintain your fluid balance, transport nutrients in your bloodstream, aid in blood clotting.
