Struggling To Burn Off The Stubborn Belly Fat and See Your Abs?

[Want To Go Straight To My Truth About Abs Video Review? Click Here Now]

A lean tummy and six pack abs are one of the most coveted goals on this planet. Every year millions of people around the world tell themselves on New Year’s Eve…”That’s it! This year I’m going to get ripped and fit!”

By January 17th, almost 98% of these people have given up on their New Year’s resolution. The flat tummy and six pack become a dream that just can’t be attained and is best shelved for the next year.

But why? Why is this resolution so difficult to keep to? Why does only 2% of the entire world’s population have a body fat percentage low enough to reveal a six pack? Why?

The answer is simple. They do not have any idea what they are doing. They don’t have a plan or a clue. We all know that if you fail to plan, you’re planning to fail. Proven programs such as the Truth About Abs system show exactly what you need to do, how you should do it and when to do it.

The key to seeing your abs or getting a flat tummy can be summarized in 2 words. Fat loss. If you can get your body fat percentage low enough, you will see your abs and your tummy will be lean.

The Most Crucial Fat Loss Factor

The most important thing that you absolutely MUST do before you even start chewing on that boiled broccoli is this… You must define your why.

You’re probably thinking, “Define my what?”… “My life is full of whys! Why am I fat? Why does 1 muffin slap 10 pounds on my belly but 10 hours of cardio do nothing?”
These are all reasonable whys… but the most important why question you should be asking yourself is this… “Why do I want to burn my fat and see my abs?” or “Why do I want a flat, lean tummy?”

In most cases, women just want a nice, sexy, flat tummy. Men prefer to have abs so ripped that it’ll make, Hugh Jackman, look like Winnie the Pooh.

Your why will ALWAYS be emotional. So, you’ll have to dig deep. Most people do not exercise because they want clear, unclogged arteries or good blood circulation. That’s not the way we think.

If you’re a guy, you probably want to be able to take your shirt off at the beach and turn women’s heads. A bulging, fatty belly will still turn heads… but it’ll just be the other way.

If you’re a lady, you probably want a lean tummy so that you’ll look awesome in a dress and maybe make your other girlfriends jealous. Or you might want to feel sexy for your boyfriend or husband.

You could be a parent who wants to lose weight and be healthy so that you have extra energy to run after your toddler. Or you’re worried that your health is in such a precarious state that you might not live long enough to see your children grow up.

Whatever the case may be, you must find out your why. Then WRITE IT DOWN!

Write down exactly why you want to shed the fat and see your abs and how it will make you feel once you’ve lost the weight and attained your goal.

Once that is done, make copies of it and paste it all around your house so that you never forget it. Most importantly, paste it on your refrigerator door and around your kitchen.

Losing weight takes discipline, effort and determination. The concept while simple is not exactly easy. This is a six pack quest… a quest to burn off fat that doesn’t want to come off.

There will be times when you will be dejected and lose hope. Times when you do not seem to make progress. It will seem easier to throw in the towel and pick up a slice of pizza.

It’s at times like these that you must read the why that you wrote down. This is true for any goal. Success is not linear. There are setbacks, comebacks and times when you just don’t seem to progress no matter how hard you work.

Your why will keep you grounded and focused. It’ll keep you going when your tank is empty. Find your why and write it down.

Help! My cardio is killing me!

The number one mistake that most people make when trying to burn fat is to overdo their cardio.

Take a trip to the park or gym for a few days and observe the people there. More often than not, you’ll see that it’s the same people who keep running or jogging on and on. Yet, they’re usually overweight or they are thin but don’t exactly exude an image of fitness.

Why?

The answer is that cardio is not the be all and end all of fat loss. You MUST mix up your cardio with resistance training.

Even your cardio sessions need to vary. On some days, you’ll need to do high intensity cardio. This is also known as high intensity interval training. On other days, you should engage in slow, steady cardio.

There is absolutely no need to be like a hamster running on a wheel for ages. Keep your cardio sessions short and hard. When you engage in 30 minutes of high intensity cardio, you will experience an ‘afterburn’ effect which is basically your body burning calories for hours.

The Truth About Abs is a proven program which focuses on the amount of work done. It will show you exactly what matters when it comes to fat loss. Short workout sessions that will put your body in fat burning mode for hours. Stop wasting your time pounding the pavement or treadmill endlessly.

In fact, if you do too much cardio, you will end up stressing your body out. This will make your body release cortisol which is a stress hormone. You really don’t want this to happen because cortisol makes you gain weight on your belly indirectly. Your appetite goes up; it gets harder to lose weight, etc.

Why is it taking ages to lose my belly fat?

This is an excellent question. Why is weight gain so much easier than weight loss?
Same reason that failing a math exam so much easier than passing it. Same reason that spending money is so much easier than saving it.

Doing something worthwhile takes effort and sacrifice… and time.

You will only see your abs once you have burnt off the layer of fat on your tummy. You could do thousands of sit-ups, crunches, hanging leg raises, v-sits or kung fu kicks, but if your body fat percentage is high, your abs will never show.

A rough gauge would be a body fat percentage of about 9% for men and below 15% for women. At this level, your abs will show and your tummy will be lean. To get to this level of body fat requires effort and TIME.

This is the biggest problem. We live in an age where people want instant gratification. An age of text messaging, email, microwaves, etc. We want things and we want them now. Most people expect to lose weight ASAP.

That’s why they succumb to scammy products from weight loss pills to dubious exercise machines sold on cheesy late night infomercials. They want fast results.

The hard truth is that the human body does what it wants at its own pace. You can’t send your body a text message and tell it to drop 5 pounds from your thighs and 2 pounds from your butt.

It doesn’t work that way. The ONLY way your body will lose weight is if it is in a caloric deficit for a prolonged period of time. You will need to exercise, eat right and rest adequately. Most importantly, stop expecting immediate results. Be happy with a 1% loss of total bodyweight each week. That is good progress!

It took time to gain the belly and it will take time to lose it. When aiming for a six pack, the last few pounds are ALWAYS the toughest. Most guys give up just when they are at about 12 to 13% body fat. These are the “hard yards”. Keep on keeping on. It may take another month or two… but if you stay the course, rest assured, you will burn off the most stubborn layer of fat and finally see your abs in all their glory.

Besides not being patient enough, there are a few other reasons your fat loss may seem to be taking ages.

You might not be eating at a caloric deficit. Many people over estimate the amount of calories expended. 3 slices of pizza can cancel out an entire workout at the gym. You must always be aware of how many calories you’re consuming and what your daily caloric requirement is.

Are You Cheating Yourself On Cheat Days?

This is one of the most common mistakes that people make when they are trying to lose weight. Before going into details, we need to understand the theory behind cheat days.

When you are trying to lose weight, you need to be on a caloric deficit of 500 calories a day. This is achieved by eating less, making wise food choices and exercising. Since you are aiming for fat loss and not just weight loss, you need to go on a slow but steady program.

Most people who crash diet end up losing muscle and lowering their metabolic rate. This is a double whammy. Fat burning will grind to a halt and when that happens, your weight loss will hit a plateau and this can be exasperating.

Therefore, slow and steady wins the race. However, even if you diet and exercise the correct way and do your best, when your body is on a caloric deficit for 4 to 6 days in a row, it will automatically drop your metabolic rate as it tries to “preserve” its fat stores.

In order, to overcome this problem, we have a cheat day. On this day, you will aim for a caloric surplus. Preferably in the 500 to 700 calorie range. This will refresh your leptin levels and give your metabolic rate a boost. Your body will go back into fat burning mode since the body does not believe that it is starving.

This is also where the majority of people make a mistake.

They use the cheat day to gorge themselves on all the food that they can eat. Some even manage to reach caloric surpluses of 2000 to even 5000 calories. That is not a cheat day. It is chaos.

You can cause your weight loss efforts to slow down or worse. You may actually gain weight. This will cause feelings of guilt, frustration and anger. It’s like taking one step forward and two steps back.

Find out your daily calorie requirement and add 500 or 600 to it. That’s it. That’s the caloric surplus you should aim for. Even if you wish to eat junk food or whatever your heart desires, eat them in the right amount but make sure you do not exceed your target calorie surplus.

This being said, generally, it would be best to avoid junk food or processed food. It’s just not good for your health. It may sound boring and a tremendous sacrifice forsaking the food you love.

However, thousands of people can testify that after a few months of avoiding junk food, their body totally stopped craving for these sinful pleasures.

You do not need to obsess over the numbers but you need to at least have a fairly good idea of where you stand as far as your diet and calories are concerned.

Consume adequate water daily. This is crucial! Water naturally suppresses your appetite and helps to metabolize the fat.

Watch your carb intake. Try and limit your carbohydrates, especially the starchy carbs. You should not eliminate carbs from your diet completely like what the Atkins diet recommends.

You do need carbs for energy during your cardio workouts. However, limit them and either consume them early in the day or immediately after an intense workout.

The numbers on a scale can be misleading. When people embark on a weight loss plan, they may include resistance training as part of the training regimen. Even people, who are totally on a cardio training plan, will experience a growth in lean muscle. This is inevitable.

Most overweight people have poor muscle tone. So, once they start exercising, the body starts burning fat and simultaneously gaining muscle. If you were to measure your weight on the scales, there may be no change in the numbers because the 2 pounds of fat you lost may have been replaced by 2 pounds of muscle.

Since muscle is denser than fat, your body size would have shrunk a little even though there is no change on the scale. That is why it is so crucial to track your progress by using photos or a measuring tape to measure different parts of your body. This will be a much better way to track your progress.

 

How Do I Ramp Up My Metabolism?

Overweight people often curse their bad genes. Usually what that means is that they have a slow metabolic rate. It is true that some people have a metabolic rate that is slower than other people.

However, it would not be a good idea to blame your genes or metabolism. That will take away power from you and make you feel like losing weight is beyond your ability.

You definitely can lose weight even if your metabolic rate is low. It’s possible to increase your metabolic rate with a few simple techniques.

The Truth About Abs program recommends weight training as a very effective way to boost your metabolic rate. Not all resistance training works. Doing bicep curls will not do much to help you. You need compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, snatches and all the other cool techniques shown in the program.

Using a combination of compound movements, full body workouts and proper rest times between sets, you will raise your metabolic rate and keep it up for hours.

Another technique you can employ is short quick workouts throughout the day.

Anytime you have 5 minutes to spare, you can do a quick workout. It could be 30 push-ups followed by 40 mountain climbers. Or 3 sets of 10 burpees. These are extremely quick workouts that have only one purpose. To elevate your heart rate and give your metabolic rate a quick boost.

They do not take long and can be done anywhere. Bodyweight exercises are all you need. You just need to do them rapidly for 2 to 4 minutes. What this does is that it keeps your body in fat burning mode constantly. After a few hours, when your metabolic rate is starting to drop, another quick 3 minutes of exercise will perk it up again.

Do this throughout the day and not only will your metabolic rate be at an all-time high, but you will also feel more active, fit and alert.

Daily life can be draggy and monotonous. These little workouts will challenge you and even if you are tired, once you do a quick workout, you will be all pumped up and ready to take on the world.

Five Little Tricks That Will Help You Shed the Belly Fat Faster

Do not expect overnight miracles with these tips but do know that if you follow them, you’ll be helping your body burn more calories in the same period of time. Every calorie counts.

1. Join a team sport
Basketball, karate, soccer, hockey, etc. are all activities that burn calories. The difference between these sports and slogging it out alone in the gym or pounding the tracks on your own is that sports are much more fun and less taxing.

Sometimes, going to the gym or doing cardio daily can get monotonous. You really need a break. That’s where a sport will help. You do not have to do a team sport daily. Just during those times when the normal workouts get boring and you really need something to perk you up.

2. Skip dinner
This is similar to intermittent fasting. When you skip dinner, your body will have more time to burn calories from its fat stores instead of food.

3. Add green tea to your diet
Studies have shown that green tea raises metabolism and has many health benefits. Some websites or magazines may say that green tea’s effects are too minute to be counted as beneficial.

Just drink it anyway. It’s good for health and many people have benefited from it.

4. Brush your teeth after your last meal for the day
Most of us are conditioned to sleep once we brush our teeth. Once you have eaten your last meal for the day, brushing your teeth will subconsciously tell your body to stop eating. This will prevent late night cravings for snacks or other junk food.

5. Consume smaller meals spaced at regular intervals
Do not eat 3 large meals that leave you feeling bloated and full. Eat smaller meals and always stop while you are partially full. It takes a longer time for your brain to process the fact that your stomach is full. By the time the signal comes, you may have over eaten.

These 5 tips can really help you if you follow them. Just remember that it’s ok if it takes time to lose the fat. It took you time to gain it. It’s just the natural order of things.

Always bear in mind that the quest for a six pack is actually a quest to lose fat. If there is just one point you remember from this entire report, let it be this. Lose the fat and you’ll see your abs.

The journey is what truly matters and if you stay focused on your fat loss journey with persistence and patience, you will reach your destination. A lean or ripped body that you can be proud of.

Lose Weight With The Paleo Diet!

[icegram campaigns=”648″]

[Want To Go Straight To My Paleohacks Cookbook Video Review? Click Here Now]]

Currently, the paleo diet is one of the hottest and most popular diets on the planet. Thousands of people have reported benefits such as weight loss, less inflammation in their bodies, the disappearance of certain illnesses, etc. after they adopted the diet.

The diet is pretty restrictive and anyone who adopts it will find themselves unable to eat most of the foods they are used to eating.

Processed foods, artificial flavoring, sugar, etc. are anathema to the paleo diet. The focus is totally on keeping things natural and wholesome. It adopts a mantra similar to what fitness guru, Jack LaLanne once said. “If man made it, don’t eat it.”

The paleo diet follows a concept of eating foods similar to what our caveman ancestors ate. The theory is that our bodies have not evolved that much after all these years and we would be better off eating in the same manner that our ancestors did.

The efficacy of the paleo diet has been proven over and over by people who lose weight very effectively after adopting it. Just omitting sugar and high fructose corn syrup from our diet is half the battle won.

The paleo diet also uses virgin coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil for cooking. You are not allowed to use the hydrogenated food oils sold in supermarkets. After all, our cavemen ancestors didn’t have access to the commercially produced seed oil extracts.

What many people do not know is that the oil sold in supermarkets and promoted as being healthy are in fact highly detrimental to our health. They cause a plethora of problems from inflammation to high cholesterol.

Since you’re not allowed to use the usual sauces and seasonings that you’re accustomed to, you will need to have some knowledge of paleo cooking.

There are several excellent online paleo recipe books such as Paleohacks recipe book which will have recipes that you can follow to whip up tasty dishes.

The paleo diet will take some getting used to. It is the polar opposite of the standard American diet which is heavy on oil, junk food, processed foods, etc. Making the change will be stressful in the initial few weeks.

However, with time, your body will adapt and start to enjoy the paleo meals. It may take you a month or two to fully adopt the paleo diet. You will notice that you feel better and have much more energy.

These are just some of the benefits of the diet.

What You NEED to know about the Paleo Diet

This diet has its fair share of fans and detractors. Yet, you shouldn’t worry too much about what the rest are saying. What truly matters is how the diet makes you feel.

You will need to try it out for yourself to appreciate the benefits and understand the intricacies of the diet. Since the diet is natural and healthy, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

The diet focuses on eating single ingredient foods such as fish, grass fed meat, goat, poultry, rabbit and a lot of other meats. You are also encouraged to consume a variety of vegetables from broccolis, carrots, cabbages, etc.

Contrary to popular diets, the paleo diet also encourages the consumption of healthy fats such as coconut oil, olive oil, macadamia oil, grass fed butter, etc. The emphasis is on wholesome, nutritious foods that our early ancestors ate during the Paleolithic era.

Grains, refined and processed foods, sugar and other modern foods that the typical American consumes avoided. Success with the paleo diet means that you will need to adhere to the guidelines of the diet strictly.

There are no cheat days with the paleo diet where you can go crazy and pig out on pizzas and ice-cream. Unlike conventional diets, the paleo diet doesn’t focus on calorie restriction or controlling your carb intake.

The paleo diet is focused on eating foods that are natural. For example, getting your carbs from eating white bread is not natural. If you’re on the paleo diet, you will be getting your carbs from vegetables and fruits.

Normal diets will recommend reducing or avoiding consumption of bad carbs such as white bread or white flour products. This is not even an issue with the paleo diet.

The rules are so rigid that they could be set in stone. The food you eat has to be natural. White bread and flour products such as doughnuts are a no-no. There is no negotiation here. You just can’t eat them. Period.

Current trends in obesity have shown that it has skyrocketed and reached epidemic proportions. The Standard American Diet, also known as SAD amongst paleo fans, is to blame for this. Of course, a highly sedentary lifestyle plays a role too… but the diet shoulders a much higher burden of blame.

You may encounter articles or people that claim the paleo diet is unhealthy because you will not get all the necessary nutrients that your body needs. This is a misconception since your body will only lacks nutrients if you do not consume a varied diet. By eating a variety of paleo foods, your body will definitely have all the nutrients it needs.

Another point that detractors may throw up is that consuming too much meat and eggs will raise your cholesterol level. This is yet again another fallacy.

Studies have shown that dietary cholesterol has minimal impact on your blood cholesterol level. The real culprit is modern day foods that inflame the body and cause cholesterol to be formed to heal the inflamed cells.

On another tangent, there are folks who say that the paleo diet is uncivilized. This is purely an image issue.

The fact that the diet is modeled after a caveman’s diet and is actually called that, conjures up images of feral men tearing into raw meat in some caves. This is just a psychological issue.

Most paleo dieters just eat more meat and they cook it well, spice it up and in many cases, their food tastes just as good as or even better than a greasy steak you may find at a local diner.

The crux of the matter is that the paleo diet is extremely beneficial to one’s health. The saying, ‘Don’t knock it till you try it’ applies here. It will do you good to give it a try and you just might find yourself a fan of this remarkable diet.

What Are The Best Foods For a Paleo Diet?

Hippocrates once said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. This is very true and you should always remember that every time you eat or drink something, you’re either feeding disease or fighting it.

While the paleo diet may not be the panacea for all ills, it has numerous benefits. You absolutely must know what the beneficial foods to eat are. It will be excellent to study the foods you eat to see which contain the different vitamins, minerals, etc.

You’ll then be able to consume a variety of foods to ensure that your body is getting all the nutrients it needs. Knowledge is power.

The paleo diet is not rocket science. The concept is pretty easy to understand. You have a list of foods that you can eat and a list of foods that you should not eat.

It is very basic and anybody can understand it. Unlike other diets which use nutrient timings, food combinations, detoxes, lemonade, etc. the paleo diet is straightforward.

However, it is not an easy diet to follow. You’ll need to be determined to get over the initial hump and inertia of adjusting to the new foods. You will have cravings that will be gnawing at you constantly. Sugar cravings for the most part. Once you get past this, it will be smooth sailing.

The paleo foods you consume will be nutrient dense and natural. It is highly recommended that you eat organic produce and grass fed meats. Even eggs should be free range.

However, this may prove to be expensive. So, if you cannot afford organic vegetables and grass fed meats, then by all means get the normal produce and meats. Most importantly, stick to the food list recommended by the diet.

There are many types of foods you can eat while on the paleo diet. It would be best to get a guide like the PaleoHacks Cookbooks so that you know what options are available to you. This article will give you a few suggestions, but it is by no means comprehensive. You will benefit more from research.

Now let’s look at what foods you can eat.

Meat

Poultry, Bacon, Pork, Ground Beef, Grass Fed Beef, Chicken Thigh, Chicken Leg, Chicken Wings, Turkey, Chicken Breast, Pork Tenderloin, Pork Chops, Steak, Veal, Lamb rack, Shrimp, Lobster, Clams, Salmon, Venison Steaks, Buffalo, New York Steak, Lamb Chops, Rabbit, Goat, Elk, Emu, Goose, Kangaroo, Bear, Beef Jerky, Eggs, Bison, Bison Steaks, Bison Jerky, Bison Ribeye, Bison Sirloin, Wild Boar, Reindeer, Turtle, Ostrich, Pheasant, Quail, Lean Veal, Chuck Steak, Rattlesnake

Vegetables

Asparagus, Avocado, Artichoke hearts, Brussels sprouts, Carrots, Spinach, Celery, Broccoli, Zucchini, Cabbage, Peppers (All Kinds), Cauliflower, Parsley, Eggplant, Green Onions

Fats

Coconut oil, Olive oil, Macadamia Oil, Avocado Oil, Grass fed Butter

Nuts

Almonds, Cashews, Hazelnuts, Pecans, Pine Nuts, Pumpkin Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Macadamia Nut, Walnuts

Fruit

Apple, Avocado, Blackberries, Papaya, Peaches, Plums, Mango, Lychee, Blueberries, Grapes, , Lemon, Strawberries, Watermelon, Pineapple, Guava, Lime, Raspberries, Cantaloupe, Tangerine, Figs, Oranges

It is understandable if you balk at some of these foods mentioned above and some might be next to impossible to obtain, but this is just a list. Pick and choose what you like and eat those. It does not have to be a rigid diet. Some flexibility is good.

If you consume only the foods on the list above, you will notice your health improve and you will look and feel better. Of course, always eat in moderation and not surfeit. If you eat sensibly and follow this diet, the results will be fantastic. Do give it a go.

Can I Lose Weight with the Paleo Diet?

You can lose weight with any diet as long as you are at a daily caloric deficit and you’re exercising regularly. The hard truth is that you can lose weight with the Mediterranean diet or even a normal sensible diet.

However, with the paleo diet, your results will come much sooner and the weight loss process will be easier. You will not have sugar or other processed ingredients in your diet.

Many of the sauces and seasonings that we use to flavor our food contain high amounts of sugar, chemical and additives. These unnatural foods cause our body to stubbornly hold on to fat.

It’s more than just calories in and calories out. You must consider the quality of the calorie.

Getting 200 calories from a packet of M&M’s and getting 200 calories from a slice of steak are two different things. The numbers are the same but how the food causes changes in our body are worlds apart.

The chocolate will raise blood sugar levels and cause fat storage. The meat will help with muscle building and indirectly result in fat loss.

So, the paleo diet is very effective for fat loss.

The paleo diet is without a doubt the toughest diet on the planet and the attrition rate is high. Thousands of people try it and quit within days because it is more than a diet. It is an entire lifestyle change.

You must be mentally prepared to make the change. If you can do it, you will shed the excess pounds.

The natural whole foods that are consumed in the paleo diet will leave you feeling more satiated and less prone to cravings. You will not suddenly wake up in the middle of the night with your tummy growling for Belgian chocolate ice-cream.

Since the paleo diet is strict, you will always be watchful of what you eat.

The average person just gobbles up whatever they get their hands on. If you are constantly on guard as to what you’re eating, you will not be making poor food choices.

It will be extremely easy to exceed your calorie deficit requirement for the day. 2 slices of pizza can come up to about 600 calories.

Guess what?

You can’t eat pizza while on the paleo diet. You’ve just cut 600 calories off your daily consumption.

The paleo diet is extremely effective for fat loss and when coupled with a sensible training regimen, you will shed the fat faster than you can say “paleo”. It will be an uphill battle to adapt to the paleo diet, but once you master it, the rewards you reap will be totally worth the effort.

What Should My Calorie Intake Be if I’m On a Paleo Diet?

It can be whatever you want it to be. It all depends on what you want.

If you want to be overweight, you just need to be on a caloric surplus. If you wish to remain the same weight, you just to maintain your calorie intake. If you wish to lose weight, you should be at a caloric deficit.

The key point to note is that the paleo diet does not decide your calorie intake.

You do. Your goals do.

Firstly, you need to know what your daily calorie requirement is. You can find out form this link
http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

If you wish to gain weight, you need to consume more calories than your daily calorie requirement. This is for people who are underweight or if you’re trying to build muscle and bulk.

If you’re happy with your body and don’t see any need to get bigger or smaller, you just need to maintain your calorie intake. Then you will need to consume your paleo foods in the right proportion to meet your calorie intake.

There is no exact number as far as macro nutrients go with the paleo diet. You will need to adjust your macros to suit your needs. It helps to know exactly how many calories you are consuming with each meal.

You can find this out by doing a Google image search for “paleo foods calorie list” or similar search terms. In fact, you can find out how many calories a serving of food is by Googling it. Things are really easy these days.

If you’re trying to lose weight, you need to be at a caloric deficit of about 500 calories a day. Generally, most people say that it is much easier to lose weight on the paleo diet because sugar, hydrogenated oils and processed foods are not allowed on the paleo diet.

If you are an athlete, your calorie requirement will be much higher than the average person. You will need to gauge how many calories you are expending during your workout and eat accordingly.

The paleo diet does not allow the consumption of rice, bread, grains, etc. So, if you are training hard and not consuming enough carbs, you may end up feeling lethargic. Or you may lose weight rapidly and end up looking gaunt.

The aim of the paleo diet is to make you look and feel healthy. In order for it to benefit you, you must know its limitations and restrictions so that you can adjust and get the best out of the diet.

While a high degree of compliance is necessary as far as avoiding the “harmful” foods, there is some room for flexibility. You may consume bananas or potatoes if your workouts need more carbs.

Use common sense and make the diet work for you and do not end up a slave to the diet. Then you would have truly mastered the paleo diet.

The Pros and Cons of the Paleo Diet

Nothing is perfect for everybody.

While the paleo diet is has thousands of fans all over the world, not everybody may be able to adopt it for a variety of reasons.
People have lost weight, reduced allergies, gained control of their health issues like diabetes, cholesterol, etc. and much more with the paleo diet. In fact, it is considered one of the best diets around.

Yet the paleo diet has its pros and cons. You will have to decide for yourself if the pros outweigh the cons. Thousands of people decided that it did and adopted this diet.

First, you will need to understand the paleo diet. It is a diet that is more concerned with food choices rather than calories, nutrient timing, carb cycling, detoxing, etc. In theory, the paleo diet is simple.

Eat the permitted foods and avoid the other foods. All you need to do is follow the food list. In practice, however, the paleo diet is extremely difficult in the beginning because it involves sacrifice. Nobody likes that.

Many people just may not have the discipline or determination to stick with the diet till they have gotten used to it. The temptations of junk food and other guilty pleasures may be constantly beckoning them and they give in and quit.

It happens. That’s one of the cons. This is a difficult diet to adopt.

If you have health problems such as high cholesterol, allergies, diabetes, inflammation, etc. the paleo diet has your name written all over it.

The paleo diet is rich in protein and it keeps your blood sugar levels stable and prevents insulin spikes. This prevents weight gain, helps control diabetes, prevents muscle loss, etc.

The diet is also very clean and that means it is anti-inflammatory. Most people on normal diets often complain of aches and pains for no reason. This is due to cell inflammation from food that is not good. No such problems with the paleo diet.

One of the cons of the paleo diet is that it is not suitable for vegetarians. Paleo dieters often do not balance their meals well. Too much protein is consumed without adequate carbs.

So, they’ll need to carefully keep track of what they eat. When food choices are limited, more attention is required to keep the diet balanced. A vegan who is on the paleo diet will need to track how much protein, iron, vitamins, etc. they’re consuming.

This is why it is essential to have a good paleo recipe book. At least then, you will have a variety of dishes to make and the dishes will address your nutrient requirements. Most people are creatures of habit and just eat the same food over and over.

Having a recipe book will challenge you to try new dishes and keep things interesting. Unlike people who are on a normal diet and are spoilt for choice when it comes to food, paleo dieters really have it tough.

It’s next to impossible to find a restaurant that serves paleo meals or even one that uses coconut oil in their cooking. That is why learning how to cook your own meals is imperative to succeeding with this diet.

You will need to assess your goals and weigh your options. If you’re willing to make sacrifices for better health and fewer health issues, you definitely want to adopt the paleo diet.

It is well worth the effort and can be truly life-changing.

10 Fat Loss Truths No One Is Telling You About!

[icegram campaigns=”658″]

[Want To Go Straight To My 3 Week Diet Video Review? Click Here Now]]

This relatively short weight loss report will probably not be like any other weight loss guide you may have read before. This report is different.

You’re probably wondering, “How is it different?”

For starters, there is barely any sugar coating in this report. You will not find any ridiculously bold statements such as “Lose 10 pounds in 7 days!” or “Shed your fat in 5 easy minutes a day!”

Nope… It’s not going to happen. The weight loss pills sold on infomercials and sitting comfortably on the health store shelves are not going to work either.

Weight loss is not easy. Whatever you may have heard, rest assured that it is not easy. If losing weight was easy and came in a bottle, obesity would not have reached epidemic proportions.

The concepts of weight loss are very simple. Everybody knows that you just need to eat less and exercise more. We all know the foods that are best avoided. We also know the wholesome foods that we’re supposed to eat.

We know all that but we don’t do it. The spirit is willing but the flesh is often weak. The sacrifices, the effort, the waiting for slow results… it all seems too much. Finally, the towel is thrown in and we accept our fate that we were born to be fat.

This is a very common scenario that millions of people experience.

Despite the fact that millions give up on their weight loss quest, it’s not all gloom and doom. There is a sliver of hope. If you digest the pointers in this report, you will be well-prepared for the weight loss journey that lies ahead.

It is also worth noting that this report is just a primer to give you a head start and make you aware of what mistakes most people make in regards to weight loss.

Ideally, you will want to get solid, in-depth information and guidance to help you shed the pounds quickly. There are several bestselling weight loss guides sold online such as the 3 Week Diet program which have helped thousands in their journey. You might want to give these programs a try.

Are you ready for a wake-up call? You are? Excellent! Read on.

The Hard Truths You MUST Know!

Truth #1

It’s NOT easy. Once you understand this truth, the rest of the journey will be more bearable. Many people quit because they do not see results fast enough. They work their butts off for two weeks and expect all their flab to miraculously vaporize.

When it doesn’t happen, they get depressed and feel like their efforts have been in vain.

It is difficult. Sticking to a diet and eating right when your body craves junk food is a torture. Training on days when you’re totally not in the mood for exercise, requires herculean will-power. It’s tough.

Yet, it’s par for the course.

The number one New Year resolution is to lose weight and get in shape. Most people feel excited and actually believe that this time they can do it. By January 20, more than 90% have given up on this resolution.

Why?

They quit because they thought it would be easy. Once the diet and training start becoming mundane and the initial excitement wanes, reality sets in. They realize it is no fun at all. So, they quit.

Tip: If you’re about to embark on a weight loss quest, tell yourself that it’s going to be tough as hell. Lose any unrealistic expectations that you may have. Always remember, it’s going to be hard… but you’re going to do it hard and succeed!

Truth #2

Losing weight takes time. Nowadays, we live in a world of instant updates, text messaging, Instagram, etc. Everything is fast and people expect no less.

Your body however, does not follow society’s pace of life. Your body follows its own internal schedule and can’t give two hoots about how desperate you are to see results fast.

It will take its time and burn off the fat. Forget what the magazines say about getting a beach body in 2 months. If you look like a beached whale, it’s going to take you much longer. It could even be 9 months before you reach the body you desire.

You have to be in this for the long haul.

The average person is able to lose about 1% of their bodyweight per week. This is a reasonable goal to aim for. If this 1% equates to about 2 pounds, then you can expect to lose 2 pounds a week.

If you’re 40 pounds overweight, you’re looking at a 20 week stretch. Are you ready for that?

Or were you expecting to be ripped in 3 weeks?

Tempering your expectations and actually getting an idea of how long it will take is imperative to succeeding in your weight loss journey. Most people give up too soon because they expect fast results.

If you know that it will take you about 5 months to get to your desired bodyweight, you will be less likely to short-change yourself and give up in week 3.

Sometimes it can be demoralising to see how long it takes. If you’ve calculated how long it will take and see that it may take you 7 months to reach your goal, you may think that it’s just too long.

Here’s a question you should ask yourself… “Why does it matter how long it takes?”

Earl Nightingale, once said, “Don’t let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

These are wise words to remember.

Tip: Multiply your bodyweight by 0.01. That’s how much weight you can expect to lose a week. Some weeks you may lose more, some weeks less. On average, it will even out at 1%.

Then calculate how long it will take to reach your ideal body weight. Now that you know, tell yourself that you’ll be in this for the full stretch. Finish what you start and do something today that your future self will thank you for.

Truth #3

You can’t exercise away a bad diet.

Exercise is difficult. Eating is easy.

All that running, lifting, skipping, gasping and panting is tiring. It’s hard work. Most people assume that since it’s such hard work, the benefits will be immense. That means they can be lax with their diet.

The truth is that a 10 minute meal can undo an hour long workout. This is a fact that you must wrap your head around.

You may burn about 400 calories from a moderately intense 45 minute cardio session.

However, if you eat 2 slices of pizza, you would have consumed about 500 calories. You have actually consumed more calories than you burned and you did it in 10 minutes without any effort.

That essentially means that you have negated the efforts of an entire workout. So many people don’t realize this. They keep exercising and wonder why the fat is not coming off. Now you know why.

Tip: Always be aware of the calories you’re consuming. You do not have to obsess over it but you must know if you are at a daily caloric deficit. This is the cornerstone of successful weight loss.

Truth #4

Most people have no idea what they are doing. When they decide to lose weight, they either join a gym or just put on a pair of running shoes and go running.

The activities may vary but the practice of starting a weight loss journey without a plan is constant with the masses of people who decide to lose weight.

You absolutely must have a plan for your weight loss quest. You must know details about your daily caloric requirement. You must know what your caloric deficit should be.

You can find both out at http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

You’ll also need to have a training regimen that incorporates both cardio and resistance training. This will apply for both men and women.

Depending on your stamina and fitness level, you will need to know if you should be doing steady state cardio or engaging in high intensity interval training (HIIT).

This is a lot of info to know and it varies from individual to individual. That is why programs such as 3 Week Diet are so essential in tailoring a fitness and diet program that will be best suited to your specific needs.

Truth #5

You will make mistakes. This is inevitable.

Everybody who embarks on a weight loss journey will slip up on their diet or workouts. You might eat a slice of cake that you knew you were not supposed to. Or you may go watch a movie even though you had a gym session scheduled at that time.

It happens. We all slip up. Success is not linear. Nobody ever progresses in a straight line without falling back.

True success often is littered with many failures, missteps and errors. That’s the way it will always be.

Tip: Aim to be as compliant with your plan as possible but do NOT expect to be perfect. Many folks make the mistake of trying to be perfect. The moment they make a mistake, they lose all hope and just give up.

This is crazy. That’s almost like accidentally dropping your mobile phone and instead of picking it up and dusting it off, you repeatedly smash it on the floor just because you dropped it once.

It just doesn’t make sense. Expect to make a few mistakes here and there. Acknowledge your mistakes and tell yourself to improve… and most importantly, keep moving forward without giving up!

Truth #6

You will lose motivation. This too is inevitable.
Like Zig Ziglar once said, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”

After some time, you may wonder if the dieting and exercise is really necessary. It would be much easier to just quit. This happens to most of us.

Tip: Before you start your weight loss journey, write down why you’re doing it. It’s always an emotional reason.

Do you want to be healthy so that you can be around for your family? Maybe you are interested in someone and want to look better in order to catch their eye? Or you got dumped by your lover and you want to become so hot that they regret their decision?

Whatever the case may be, always remember why you started. Your “why” will keep you going when you have lost the motivation.

Also, do spend some time on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, etc. and look for pictures of fit people such as Frank Medrano, Emily Skye, Jen Selter, etc. or like fitness pages on Facebook that have daily posts to motivate their followers. Every bit helps.

Truth #7

Comparing yourself with others hurts your progress.

Many people compare themselves with actors they see in the movies, models they see on magazine covers or people they know in real life.

Do not compare yourself with others. There will always be people who seem better off and people who seem worse off than you. Envying someone else’s body does nothing for your own.

Tip: Be the best you that you can be. You’re on your own path. Stay on it and work towards your goal. All you can do is all you can do… and all you can do is enough.

Truth #8

You MUST drink enough water. Many people hamper their weight loss efforts by not staying hydrated.

Your body needs water to metabolize the fat.

Tip: Keep a bottle of water with you at all times and drink some at regular intervals. You don’t need to overdo it but you must at least get the minimum 8 glasses of water a day.

Truth #9

The scales are an inaccurate measurement of your progress.

The first point to note is the difference between weight loss and fat loss. You can lose fat but not see a weight change.

You could have gained lean muscle during your training. The new muscle weight may have offset the actual fat loss. So, the numbers on the scale don’t change.

In reality, your body’s lean muscle mass has increased. That’s excellent.

Another point is that your body could be retaining water. Your body’s water weight fluctuates daily.

Tip: The best way is to track your progress with body composition tests over a period of time. You’re concerned with fat loss not weight loss.

You may also use photos to track your progress. Take photos of yourself every Monday and compare these photos as time progresses. It’s an excellent way to stay motivated.

Truth #10

The majority of people can definitely lose weight if they apply themselves and stay the course.

There is a very small minority of people who can’t lose weight due to certain health problems. However, these are a rare few. The majority of people are definitely more than capable of losing the excess flab.

It doesn’t matter if you’re an endomorph and gain weight more easily than other body types. It doesn’t matter if everyone in your family is fat. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been fat ever since you were a kid. It doesn’t even matter if you’re above 50 years old and think it’s too late. It’s never too late.

Tip: As long as your body is at a caloric deficit and you exercise, you will shed the pounds. They may come off slowly, but come off they will.

You’re not condemned to a life-sentence of being overweight or obese. Make small, incremental goals and progress slowly. Do not try to do too much too soon.

Small changes in your diet and training program will have a cumulative effect and create staggering results. Over time, you will shed the ugly fat and become fitter and healthier.

To conclude, the 10 truths mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg. However, these 10 truths are the most common reasons why people quit.

You may know people who try their best to lose weight and don’t achieve their goal. You may know others who have given up and started over, only to give up again. You may even have been one of these people.
Now that you know these 10 truths, you’ll probably know why most people fail to reach their goals. The path to successful weight loss is littered with the carcasses of the many who tried and failed.

You do not have to be one of them. Observe the truths mentioned above, glean tips and advice from the 3 Week Diet program and keep moving forward.

Patience, persistence and perseverance will be your travel buddies in this weight loss quest and as long as you keep them close to you, success is inevitable.

“It Takes 4 Weeks for You to Notice Your Body Changing, 8 Weeks for Your Friends to Notice, and 12 Weeks for the Rest of the World to Notice. Give It 12 Weeks. Don’t QUIT!”

coconut-oilWhat You Need to Know About Coconut Oil!

Coconut oil has seen a surge in popularity ever since studies showed that it was not hazardous to one’s health and was not a cause of cardiovascular disease.

The misconception arose because coconut oil is extremely high in saturated fats. So, people jumped the gun and assumed that just because it was high in fat it was detrimental.

However, many new studies have dispelled these misconceptions and actually turned the tables. We had been wrong all along. Coconut oil is very beneficial to the body and the real culprits are the hydrogenated oils that are sold in supermarkets all over the world.

* Cold pressed coconut oil is sweet, has a pleasant taste and is light yellow in color

* It is also calorie dense. 1 gram of coconut oil contains almost 9 calories. If you’re on a 2,000 calorie a day diet, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil will meet your daily needs.

* Coconut oil is perfect for frying meats, grilling and cooking dishes in high heat. Since it is stable in high heat and has a high smoke point, it is far better to use coconut oil rather than olive oil that will have oxidative damage at high heat

* The ratio of saturated, polyunsaturated and mono-unsaturated fats is of 86.5: 1.8: 5.8

* The lauric acid and medium-chain triglycerides are rapidly absorbed into the blood stream and used as energy. Your metabolic rate will get a boost while your good cholesterol level rises.

* Coconut oil should always be stored in a cool place.

* Coconut oil has hundreds of other uses ranging from moisturizing your skin to whitening your teeth. This is a highly versatile oil.

#1 – Use Coconut Oil to Keep Your Cholesterol and Weight Down

High cholesterol levels and obesity has become so common place that just about everybody knows somebody who is either obese or has high cholesterol levels. In most cases, both.

But why? What has made obesity an epidemic? Why are there more people with high cholesterol than ever before?

There is one silent culprit that most people are unaware of. It is the toxic hydrogenated vegetable oils that are sold in stores and supermarkets all over the world.

The oil manufacturing companies have created an image that portrays these vegetable oils as healthy, wholesome and beneficial. The stark reality is that the opposite is true.

These oils raise the levels of bad cholesterol in the body and cause inflammation in millions of people. The human body does not readily absorb these oils and most of it is shuttled off as fat stores and people just keep getting fatter and wonder why.

The fat is also extremely stubborn to burn off because it’s holding on to the toxins from these oils to protect the body.

Coconut oil which has had a bad reputation for years has finally received a new breath of life after recent studies have shown that even though it is high in saturated fat, it is very beneficial to the body and detrimental like the other oils.

People who have switched to coconut oil have noticed weight loss, extra energy and less digestive disorders. They are also less prone to falling ill because coconut oil has antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Coconut oil is quickly absorbed by the body and converted to energy.

You will feel satiated and be less prone to weight gain because the body doesn’t see a need to store fats since it has a readily available supply of energy.

So, consuming coconut oil will prevent unnecessary weight gain. Coconut oil also boosts your metabolic rate and burns up to 3 times more calories.

Another benefit of coconut oil is that it converts cholesterol into pregnenolone. So, your bad cholesterol levels will decrease naturally and the balance in your body will be restored. Your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels will be low and your good cholesterol levels will be high.

The best way to use coconut oil to combat bad cholesterol and weight gain will be to gradually adopt it in our diet. By making the switch from the bad oils to coconut oil, you will effectively eliminate most of the health problems that are plaguing society currently.

Inflammation, obesity, high cholesterol, sleep disorders, digestive problems, type 2 diabetes, etc. can all be prevented or kept in check just by consuming coconut oil daily. The lauric acid in the coconut oil will kill viruses and boost your immune system.

3 to 4 tablespoons of coconut oil a day will do wonders for you.

Coconut oil is more versatile than olive oil but you should also make olive oil a part of your diet too. Studies have shown that countries in South East Asia which use coconut oil do not have as many diseases as the Western nations. Obesity, diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. are not so prevalent.

Make coconut oil a part of your diet and reap the rewards. It is one of the healthiest supplements on the planet and it’s inexpensive. This is not a privilege that only the wealthy can afford. Coconut oil is very inexpensive and most people can afford it. So, make the switch and choose coconut oil.

#2 – Use Coconut Oil to Battle Chronic Fatigue

We live in a world where everything is so fast paced that people barely have time to breathe. Despite more conveniences than ever, we are constantly short of time. This has resulted in many of us feeling tired, lethargic, fatigued and just not in the mood for anything.

Millions of people are sick and tired of being sick and tired. One of the major causes of this is a poor, nutrient deficient diet that is not doing your body any good. People often neglect their health in pursuit of a rewarding career, money, etc.

The truth of the matter is that you are what you eat. Hastily gobbling a hot dog you just bought off a greasy stand may fill your belly but it is not what your body needs. Your body needs good nutrients, healthy fats and also adequate exercise.

Since we live in a rat-race society, one of the best things that you can do for your body is to make coconut oil a part of your diet. It will work wonders for your body and mitigate much of the damage that junk food and processed food causes.

Coconut oil has lauric acid which is antiprotozoal, antibacterial, antiviral and antimicrobial. That means it will kill off harmful bacteria and other detrimental viruses that may harm you. The moment the bacteria and viruses in your body are in check, you will automatically feel better and have more energy.

Coconut oil boosts your metabolic rate and helps to shed excess fat. The medium-chain fatty acids will be absorbed by your body and converted to fuel quickly. You will have an energy boost by consuming coconut oil.

Millions of people are suffering from chronic fatigue and it may be so debilitating that even normal day to day activities may seem too demanding. Make coconut oil a part of your diet and in a matter of time you will probably give chronic fatigue the boot.

Coconut oil is rich in saturated fats and healthy omega 3 acids. Most of us have a very unbalanced ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids. Coconut oil will correct the balance and improve your health. Once there is balance within your body, you will definitely have more energy.

The common hydrogenated oils that are sold in stores are injurious to one’s health and have many adverse effects. One of the worst side effects of consuming hydrogenated oils is inflammation.

Inflammation makes your body ache and feel painful for no reason. Your joints ache, your muscles ache, your tummy has disorders… and to sum it all up, you just do not feel good. You just can’t muster up the energy to live life to its fullest potential.

After all, how could you? You are in pain.

The best remedy for this will be to completely eliminate hydrogenated oils from your diet. If that’s too difficult, at least limit your consumption of it.

You should cook at home using coconut oil and olive oil, depending on the style of cooking. It’s best to use coconut oil for frying and other food preparation that involves high heat.

Once you make coconut oil a part of your daily diet, you will be less prone to fatigue, lymph node problems, muscle aches, sleep disorders, fevers, rashes, joint pain, etc.

Your immune system will be stronger and you will be leaner and more energetic now that you have overcome fatigue with the potent coconut oil.

In The Coconut Oil Secret you’ll discover many ways to make coconut oil a part of your diet.

6 Tips To Get Rid Of Heartburn

[icegram campaigns=”642″]

[Want To Go Straight To My Heartburn No More Video Review? Click Here Now]

You need to understand heartburn and the causes.

Acid reflux or heartburn is a condition where the stomach acid rises up from the stomach to the esophagus. The esophagus is the part of the alimentary canal which connects the throat to the stomach. The reason the acid is able to rise up is due to the fact that the lower esophageal sphincter is not functioning properly.

The esophageal sphincter is located at the point where the stomach and esophagus connects. The main job of this valve is to prevent the gastric juices in the stomach from rising up the esophagus.

While the stomach has an inner lining to protect itself from the strong stomach acids, the esophagus does not. So, when the acids rise up, they literally burn the esophagus and cause the burning sensation in the chest that is known as heartburn.

When the lower esophageal sphincter becomes weakened gastric juices can seep upwards into the esophagus.

The rate of acid reflux cases has steadily risen over the years. Our modern day diet plays a large role in this. We eat foods that have been genetically modified, contain harmful additives and preservatives, etc.

Most of these foods are not beneficial to the human body and exacerbate pre-existing acid reflux conditions that are lying dormant in most people.

The consumption of these foods causes acid reflux symptoms such as heartburn, coughing, nausea and other symptoms to occur. The best thing a person suffering from acid reflux can do is to watch their diet closely.

Have a food journal to record exactly what you’re having with each meal so that you can narrow down the foods that are causing you discomfort.

While doctors have narrowed down the cause of acid reflux to a faulty lower esophageal sphincter, they do not really know why or how the valve gets faulty.

They have listed a few causes that could be responsible for acid reflux. We’ll discuss these further down. If you have heartburn or acid reflux, it would be best to get a guide on this topic.

Probably one of the best ones out there is Heartburn No More. Thousands have benefitted from it. So, if you want a step-by-step plan, this guide is all you need.

How to Know If You Are Suffering from Heartburn

It may sound strange but there are thousands of people suffering from acid reflux or heartburn and they aren’t even aware of it. Some just think it is a mild inconvenience due to eating some spicy food and others just endure it without bothering to find out why their chest has a burning sensation.

This could be due to the fact that acid reflux symptoms vary in intensity and the symptoms themselves are ambiguous. So, it takes an informed person to discern the symptoms and realize that they have acid reflux.

This report will enlighten you on how to know with a high level of certainty if you have acid reflux. Of course, you may wish to consult a qualified doctor for a proper diagnosis. It is important to diagnose acid reflux early before it leads to something serious like Barrett’s esophagus which may result in cancer.

Do you have chest pain that seems severe? A pain that lasts a while and is intense?

Chest pain is never a good thing and should never be taken lightly. The pain could be caused by stomach acid that rises up into the esophagus and causes the burning sensation. Always consult a doctor when you have chest pain to determine the exact cause.

Do you experience heartburn when you bend over or lie down?

That’s another symptom of acid reflux. The acid which is at rest in your stomach tends to spill out into your esophagus when you bend over or lie down. It’s similar to water in a glass that will spill out if you tilt it beyond a certain angle.

If you experience this symptom, you may wish to keep your stomach below your esophagus even when you are sleeping. You may wish to use two pillows to raise your upper body when you sleep or use a bed with an adjustable headrest.

Does a big meal give you a burning sensation in your chest?

It does? Then you probably have acid reflux. Just like dropping pebbles in a jug of water causes the water level to rise, eating huge meals will make your stomach acid rise up into your esophagus. Best thing to do is eat small meals that are healthy, not too fatty and eat a few hours before bed.

Sore throats that come and go after meals are a sign of acid reflux. Usually these sore throats do not have the usual flu symptoms such as colds or fevers.

Feeling nauseous? People with acid reflux often feel nauseas after meals. The strange thing about this symptom is that for a few people, this may be the only acid reflux symptom they have. Nausea for no apparent reason is usually an acid reflux telltale sign.

Is your voice getting hoarser? If the stomach acid that rises up your throat affects your vocal cords, your voice will get more hoarse and husky. You’re not getting sexier. It’s probably acid reflux. Time to visit the doctor and mitigate the symptoms.

These are a few of the common symptoms. There are others like cough, asthma, a constant bitter taste in the mouth, etc. that are all symptoms of acid reflux. If you’re unsure, the best thing you can do is see a doctor as soon as you can.

Is There Surgery Available To Treat Acid Reflux?

Surgery should always be considered a last resort when dealing with acid reflux. There are many natural and holistic ways to deal with acid reflux symptoms. You can find many of these methods in Heartburn No More.

All one needs to do is make a few changes to their diet and lifestyle. If these don’t work, then you may purchase over the counter medication and see if that alleviates the pain.

If that too doesn’t work, you may consult a doctor and get prescription medication. If that too does not bring relief, then you may consider surgery.

Usually people who have esophagitis which is an extreme inflammation of the esophagus or Barrett’s esophagus (an abnormal change in cells of the lower portion of the esophagus) resort to surgery.

There are a few types of surgical procedures namely open fundoplication, laparoscopic surgery and endoscopic surgery.

Open fundoplication is a more painful procedure and takes a longer time to heal because the doctor will actually make a large cut on the skin to operate. If it’s laparoscopic surgery, smaller incisions are made.

The difference between open fundoplication and laparoscopic surgery is that in open fundoplication, the doctor inserts his hand into the open cavity and performs the surgery.

Whereas with laparoscopic surgery, he will only insert the tools inside the abdomen to perform the procedure. Usually, there will not be a scar with this procedure, unlike the former.

The procedure itself wrapping the top part of the stomach around the lower portion of the esophagus and stitching it up. Basically, this procedure tightens the lower esophageal sphincter and this will keep the stomach acids in the stomach and prevent the acids from rising up.

Another method commonly used is known as endoscopy. With endoscopy, no cuts are made and no blood is shed. It’s much less painful and preferred by most patients.

The surgeon will use a long, extremely thin flexible tube that has a light and camera attached. This tube is inserted in the patient’s mouth and pushed all the way into the esophagus.

With this tube, the surgeon will be able to locate the problem and see exactly what is wrong on the inside of the esophagus. The tube also is capable of taking tissue samples.

The tube also has a few tools which are used to perform an endoscopic procedure. The end of the esophagus is bound to the top of the stomach and stitched. This procedure is known as an EsophyX system. This system is considered to be one of the latest and most advance methods of treating gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Just like any surgery, there may be side effects. Usually with the above surgeries, the usual side effects are infection, difficulty swallowing due to pain or feeling bloated. The side effects are usually nothing to be alarmed about. Consult your doctor if you’re worried.

The procedures mentioned in this article are brief because going into exact details are beyond the scope of this article. The best person to talk to will be your doctor.

However, the most important thing you should understand is that surgery is a last resort. Do give the natural remedies a try first before going under the knife or having a tube inserted down your throat. Read the tips in this report and give them a try.

Tip #1 – Eat Foods That Help To Prevent Heartburn
There are foods that cause heartburn and there are foods that prevent it. However, results vary from individual to individual. What is one man’s meat may be another man’s poison. It is highly advisable for anyone suffering from acid reflux to keep a food journal to monitor what they eat.

The moment you have heartburn, you can refer to the journal and analyze what you ate and if those foods could be the cause. Do not try to rely on memory. Most people can’t even remember what they watched on TV the night before.

Below you will find a list of foods which will help prevent heartburn or reduce any discomfort that you may be currently enduring. The list is not exhaustive but you may wish to give some of the foods a try.

Most people underestimate the power of eating right and clean. Healthy, nutritious and wholesome food work wonders for the body. The foods listed below contain less fat and tend to be more alkaline. Acid reflux sufferers should try to keep their bodies less acidic and more alkaline.

Aloe Vera
This is a miracle food. People use it for a variety of treatments from hair loss to skin problems. Guess what? It helps with acid reflux too.

Bananas
Another power food. Not only are they packed with nutrients, but bananas give you more energy and help reduce acid reflux symptoms.

Chicken or turkey
Generally, white meat is more suitable for heartburn patients. It is less fatty and has a much lower chance of causing heartburn than regular red meat. However, do not deep fry the meat. It should be grilled or steamed where possible.

Fish and other seafood
Also a great option since you should be avoiding red meat. Similar to the above point, try not to fry them. By frying your food, you will make it more fattening and the goal here is to keep your foods less fatty.

The reason for this is that fatty foods make your stomach produce more acid and also relax the lower esophageal sphincter. That’s a double whammy. More acid and a much higher chance of the acid splashing up your throat. Not fun at all!

Salads and celery
Wise food choices, these two. You will be healthier, lose excess fat and keep your acid reflux symptoms at bay. Most people are aware that these foods are good for them yet they are unwilling to make the switch because it takes a while to form the habit of eating healthy and giving up the comfort foods.

If your acid reflux is bad, you do not have a choice but to change your eating habits to lead a relatively pain free life.

Oatmeal
This is a nutritious food and does not cause heartburn. Eat it when you can.

Parsley
This is a medicinal herb and many people have reported benefits from consuming it as part of their diet. Give it a try.

The above foods are beneficial and you should make an effort to include them in your diet. However, monitor their effects on you. If all is good, then carry on. If any of the above foods cause heartburn, then avoid it.

Foods to Avoid if you have Acid Reflux
The list below will highlight foods that you should avoid if you have acid reflux. The list is by no means comprehensive but will serve as a good starting point. Each individual is different.

If something you eat causes you heartburn, avoid it. Do NOT carry on eating it because you love the food so much you are willing to endure the pain. Sounds ridiculous but thousands of people are doing it.

Avoid citrus fruits and tomatoes
Oranges, grapefruit and lime are examples of citrus fruits. That means they are acidic. Acid reflux sufferers definitely do not need more acidic substances in their body. Even though fruits are beneficial, citrus fruits and their juices are best avoided if you have acid reflux.

Garlic and onions may affect you adversely
Some people have reported that garlic and onions bring on heartburn for them. So, monitor what you’re eating and if you notice acid reflux symptoms upon eating these, make a note and avoid them.

Spicy foods could be responsible too
Though spicy foods create an image of a burning sensation, most people do not get heartburn from consuming some spicy Indian food, etc. It varies from individual to individual.

This is why it’s absolutely necessary for an acid reflux sufferer to have a food journal so that he or she can closely monitor the effects of the food they eat.

Caffeine could be a culprit
Caffeine heightens our senses temporarily. People suffering from tinnitus are told to avoid caffeine because it is a stimulant. Acid reflux sufferers should pay attention to the amount of caffeine they are consuming. If you are having heartburn, cut down the caffeine. You may notice a change for the better.

Alcohol and fatty foods
Alcohol may or may not cause problems. It all depends on the individual. Nevertheless, it is a factor. So are fatty foods like cheese, nuts and even a juicy steak.

Chocolate and carbonated beverages
These two foods should be totally avoided. Chocolate causes the sphincter to relax and thereby allows the stomach acid to rise up the esophagus. Carbonated drinks often have a lot of gas and cause distension in the stomach causing the acid to rise. Give these two a pass for your well-being.

Tip #2 – Eat small amounts
You want to eat small meals and eat slowly. Picture this – your stomach has acid. Each time you eat something that goes into your stomach, the acid level rises.

So, if you have a large meal, the acid level will rise up fast. Since, acid reflux sufferers have a faulty lower esophageal sphincter; the valve to keep the acid in the stomach is open instead of closed. That spells trouble.

Tip #3 – Lose excess weight
This is not just for acid reflux sufferers. Anybody would benefit from losing excess weight. However, it’s more crucial to do it if you have acid reflux.

Generally, if you avoid eating the foods that cause acid reflux, eat small amounts at regular intervals, etc. you will automatically lose weight because you are eating more healthy and moderately.

Tip #4 – Avoid drinks with meals
Do not drink carbonated drinks, alcohol or even water during meals. As mentioned earlier, you do not want the acid level to rise dramatically. A few sips are okay but huge gulps of fluid will cause your stomach acids to splash up your throat. Ouch!

Tip #5 – Exercise often
Exercise whenever you can but do not overdo the cardio. Acid reflux sufferers should not engage in vigorous cardio or sessions such as CrossFit. The jerky, fast movements may make your stomach acid rise and cause heartburn

Tip #6 – Keep a food journal
It’s a fact that some foods cause heartburn and some relieve it. The important thing knows the difference. The only way to know is to keep a journal of what you eat daily. In this way, the moment you have heartburn, you can refer to your journal and see what you ate.

If the situation keeps repeating after you consume that meal, then you know that an ingredient in the dish does not agree with your constitution. Isolate and avoid this food.

Other useful tips:

* Avoid fatty foods
This is pretty straightforward. Fatty foods are not good for anyone. They worsen acid reflux. Avoid them or consume them minimally.

* Don’t eat before bed
Do not eat just before sleeping or napping. It is best to allow the food about two hours to digest before bed. When sleeping, elevate the headrest so that the stomach acid can’t go up you esophagus. Use gravity as a tool.

These tips are not exhaustive. There are many more that you may use. It’s best to get a reputable guide like Heartburn No More to help you cope with heartburn.

[Want To Go Straight To My Shed Plans Video Review? Click Here Now]

There are many reasons for wanting to build a shed. You might need a new place to store your lawn mower, tools, etc. Or the garage is getting too cluttered and you want to move all the excess items to a new place so that only your car is in the garage while everything else is in a shed. Building a shed will make things more organized for you.
However, the idea of hiring a professional woodworker or carpenter to build one for you can be troubling. For starters, there is the hassle of finding a reliable person for the job. Over and above that, it can be costly and you may need to fork out quite a bit of money to pay for it. This is enough to make most people balk at the idea of hiring someone for the job.

It seems so much easier to build one yourself. It will save you money and of course, you will do the best job that you can since it’s your shed. You won’t cut corners and it will be a work of passion instead of getting a stranger who nonchalantly builds one as fast as he can just so that he can get his fee and leave.

The problem that most people face is that they just don’t know where to start. Building a shed seems like a massive project, even if it really isn’t. The idea of doing it yourself seems intimidating. Doubts and questions will arise and most people don’t have any clue as to where to start.

Well… now things have just become a whole lot easier!
Ryan Henderson has compiled and created a collection of over 12,000 shed plans. Ryan, himself is a very experienced woodworker with more than 20 years of experience when it comes to building sheds. This is a man who knows his shed. Pun fully intended.

My Shed Plans is an online bestseller that has sold thousands of copies and it’s still right at the top. Many websites all over the net recommend Ryan’s shed plans as a reliable resource when it comes to building your own shed. It has stood the test of time and shown that this is a reliable product.

To the layman who has never built a shed before, building one from scratch can seem like a massive undertaking. The truth of the matter is that with the right plans, specifications, material list and tips, you could actually build one quite easily without fear.
You just need the right information laid out for you in a step-by-step manner. Ryan does exactly that. Now let’s examine the pros and cons of My Shed Plans and see if this is a product worth buying.

The Good Points:

1) The biggest selling point of Ryan’s Shed Plans collection is the sheer size. With over 12,000 shed plans, there’s a plan for everyone. There are simple plans for the hobbyist and there are advanced plans for those who wish to challenge themselves.

Besides sheds, there are many other plans that allow you to build:

* Adirondack Chair
* Bench Outdoor
* Boat Landing
* Bulk-feed-storage
* Bungalow Mailbox
* Cattle-Shed-Clubhouse
* Decking & Fences
* Dog House
* Dog Kennel
* Garden Bench
* Glider Swing
* Monterey Potting Center
* Nursery Wagon
* Outdoor Stairs
* Playground Equipment
* Railing Planter
* Shed buying guide
* Storage Shed

All you need are the woodworking skills to do the job. If you want to build your skills, you might want to check out Ted’s Woodworking Plans which will really complement Ryan’s guide. You don’t necessarily need Ted’s guide… but it really helps broaden your knowledge on woodworking and related skills. The woodworking hobbyist will love it.

2) Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication and Ryan knows that. His blueprints are simple to follow. The instructions are concise and written in simple English so that just about anyone can read and understand them. The diagrams and illustrations will help to give you an idea of how the finished shed is going to look like.

It would be a good practice to read through the plan and examine it before starting off on the project. Many beginners blindly start off and later on realize that they either need more space for the shed or they ordered insufficient raw material. The entire project becomes a nightmare due to lack of planning. So, do try and understand the plans before taking action on them.

3) You’ll be provided a material list for each project and this will prevent wastage. Too many people buy way more than what they need for the project and the excess material goes to waste. With these material lists, you’ll know exactly what to buy and how much to buy.

Do try and get a good deal from the guy at the store. Since you’re building a shed and not a table, you’ll require more supplies and you should try and get it all at once. This will be a bulk purchase and you’ll be able to persuade the store owner to give you a discount on your purchase.

4) Just when you thought the package was huge, Ryan goes a step further and has a bonus package of 5000 more shed plans and you get it absolutely free. Variety is the spice of life. You’ll be spoiled for choice. To make things better, you’ll get garage plans and also DWG/CAD illustrations.

There is also a guide on the basics of woodworking and many other woodworking tips and tricks shared by industry experts. This collection will broaden your knowledge on woodworking and set you on the path to becoming an expert woodworker.

5) As with all things, over time there will be wear and tear. The shed you built will get worn down and damaged. With the information in My Shed Plans, you’ll know how to remedy the situation and restore your shed.

6) Ryan has so much faith in his product that he has put his money where his mouth is. My Shed Plans has a money back guarantee that is valid for 60 days. You’ll be able to try out the plans and see if you like what you get. You have 2 months to test the product out and see if it works for you. This is fantastic. What’s impressive is that despite this guarantee, the product has a very low refund rate. This is testimony that My Shed Plans delivers on what it says it will.

7) This is a highly affordable product. While there may be books on the market that are cheaper, you’ll just not get this many plans. In fact, there are many more guides that are far more expensive than Ryan’s shed plans but they don’t have the variety or benefits that this one does. You’re definitely getting value for money here.

8) This guide will save you money if you use it. Could you imagine paying hundreds or even thousands to hire a carpenter to build one for you? My Shed Plans only costs $37. This is a one-time fee. With some time and elbow grease, you could build on your own at a fraction of the cost.

Over and above that, you will have something that you can look at and be proud of… not to mention that you get bragging rights and can tell your friends and family that you built it. Build a nice shed and your wife will never hear the last of it.

9) With Ryan’s plans, you’ll actually be able to start a profitable business building sheds for others. The plans give you everything you need to do your job well. The enterprising individual with the right skills will be able to build sheds for people who may not have a clue as to how to build one… or they may just not want the hassle.

If you love working with your hands and want to get paid thousands for it, you can offer a shed building service to others. With a business card and some networking, you could actually have a very profitable shed building business.

You already have all the plans that you could possibly need with My Shed Plans. All you need to do is build them for cash. Do remember to work out some arrangement with your local supplies store so that you get your supplies at a discounted rate since you’re a regular customer. This will increase your profit margins.

10) Beginners will find this product very helpful because there are simple plans to follow. It can be very intimidating to build your very own shed. If the plan is too difficult to follow or beyond your skill level, you’ll end up with a half-finished project that will be a sight for sore eyes and a reminder of your failure to complete what you started. Not to mention that you’d have spent time and money for nothing.

In My Shed Plans, you’ll have access to plans that fall within your skill level and you’ll be amazed at what you can do with the right plan.

The Bad Points:

1) As with all things, size can be overwhelming and 12,000 plans is quite a bit to go through. Some people might feel intimidated and not know where to start. Everything will seem good and they may find it difficult to choose the ‘perfect’ plan.

Take your time and go through the collection. You do not need to immediately pick one and get started. Think about your needs for the shed. By having a good idea of why you’re building the shed, you won’t be skimming the collection mindlessly without knowing what to pick.

A general rule of thumb is that a shed is used to store tools and other equipment that may be taking up too much place in your garage. If you wish to move all your equipment from your garage to the shed, it would be a good idea to make a list of all current equipment and any future equipment/tools that you may buy. Now you’ll know roughly how much space you need and what kind of shed to build. This will make choosing a shed much easier.

2) My Shed Plans is a digital download and you can only get it online. That essentially means that you’ll need an internet connection to buy and access this product. Later on, you can choose to print out the plan that you want for easier reference.

3) It’s best to have some woodworking knowledge so that you know how to read the plans and do what you need to do to build the shed. This guide is not a miracle product that will take you from a newbie without a clue to an expert woodworker. You will need a basic understanding of woodworking.

Should You Get It?

With ‘My Shed Plans’ you’ll greatly reduce the learning curve and be able to build your outdoor shed faster and with ease. It gives you the knowledge and specifications to create a shed that looks like it was built by an expert.
Of course, it will help if you have basic woodworking skills. If you don’t, as mentioned earlier, you may wish to invest in Ted’s Woodworking Plans because of the wealth of information that will help you become an excellent woodworker.

With over 12,000 plans, you don’t even need to think twice about purchasing My Shed Plans. It’s an excellent investment. After building your shed, you might decide to knock it down after 3 years and build a new one. Once again, you could refer to My Shed Plans and use a new plan.
Your son will be able to use these plans when he grows up. You could move to any part of the country and if you need to build a shed, you can rest assured that you’ll be able to find a plan that works for you.

This is a one-time investment that will reap rewards over and over for a long time. As far as shed plans go, there is no collection out there as varied or comprehensive as Ryan’s collection. Most aren’t as easy as Ryan’s plans either. So, you can definitely put your faith in this guide and get it today.

8 Prepper Basics Crucial For Survival

[icegram campaigns=”650″]

[Want To Go Straight To My The Lost Ways Video Review? Click Here Now]

Prepping has become very popular over the past few years. Many of the bestselling guides online that sell thousands of copies are on this topic. There is a very good reason for this.

With all the calamities, natural disasters, doomsday prophecies, terrorist attacks, etc. more and more people are realizing that it is good to be prepared for any unforeseen event.

The hard truth is that even a simple blackout or water shortage can leave many people feeling stranded. There have been real scenarios where there is a flood or some disaster and thousands of people are in a dire situation because they’re unprepared.

To make matters worse, help takes ages to arrive due to problems with logistics, finances or just poor organization. So, it’s a very good idea to have survival knowledge to cope and survive during such situations.

Skills like first aid, knowing how to preserve food, self-defense, etc. can mean the difference between life and death. If you’ve watched The Walking Dead TV series, you’ll understand just how dangerous things can get if there is a shortage of food or a collapse of law and order.

The ugly side of human nature will rear its head and it will shock you just how selfish and heartless people can get. While The Walking Dead is just a TV show, it depicts a relatively accurate portrayal of human nature when things go south.

That’s exactly why you MUST have prepper and survival skills to deal with such situations. This short report will share with you a few important tips. However, this guide is just a primer on this topic and merely scratches the surface when it comes to prepping.

While the tips here are useful, you would be wise to learn the survival tips shared in The Lost Ways. It has everything you need to know to survive in different scenarios. Do check it out.

So, what is the difference between a survivalist and a prepper?
When it comes to readiness for anything that life throws at you, there are survivalists and there are preppers. These terms are often used interchangeably, but they are actually very different.

Probably one of the most famous survivalists is Bear Grylls, from the TV show, Man vs Wild. He has a wealth of knowledge that allows him to survive in the harshest of environments.

Put him in a jungle or a desert or some icy landscape and this guy will be able to survive. He is a survival expert but… that does not necessarily make him a prepper.

Survivalists and preppers have a common goal for sure, but there are major differences in the overall sentiment and outcome of their behavior.

There are many commonalities between survivalists and preppers. At their core, both have the similar ideal of being ready for a disaster.

Both survivalists and preppers alike spend time and resources to prepare for impending disasters such as major weather events, war, and even statistically unlikely disasters.

Both of these types of people have a strong will to live and make preparations for themselves and their families not only to survive a potentially disastrous event, but also after the event.

Many of the preparations will involve supplies to allow them to continue to live without aid for an extended period of time.

The difference between survivalists and preppers comes down to how seriously they take themselves. Make no mistakes about it, both of these groups of people are quite serious about their preparations for the future safety and comfort of themselves and their families. The core difference is really how seriously they take it, and how extreme their plans and preparations are.

There are also differences in how both of these groups prepare for unforeseen events and disasters. For example, one group might stockpile huge amounts of non-perishable foods while the other will have a smaller stockpile and rely heavily on seeds to grow their own food.

Survivalists differ from preppers in the way they make their preparations and their overall idea of surviving after an event.

Survivalists, for example, tend to look to the Earth and wilderness for much of their survival needs. A survivalist will learn about the area around them and look to live off the land rather than having huge stockpiles. These people will likely hunt, forage, and grow their own food for their survival needs.

A survivalist is really exactly what their name suggests. They will do what needs to be done to survive. They do not expect to rely on the comforts of civilized life to sustain them during or in the aftermath of a disastrous event.

Preppers differ from survivalists in how they plan to survive and even thrive after a disaster.

Preppers will usually have large stockpiles of supplies, non-perishable foods, and other items that will help them remain safe, alive, and even comfortable during and after such an event.

A prepper will typically have a stockpile large enough not only to get them through the event, but large enough to sustain them until rescue.

Preppers are usually considered to be the more “serious” or “fervent” in their preparations. This might be because their preparations are often more visible to the people around them. The lengths at which preppers will prepare and stockpile are extremely varied from person to person.

Survivalists and preppers are different in the way that they make their preparations and their overall ideals for how to survive, but at their core they are very similar.

Both groups do the work and planning necessary to ensure that they not only survive a potential disaster, but thrive in the aftermath. They are both built on the platform of hard work, planning, and optimism that they will survive no matter what happens.

Survival Training 101

With all of the reality shows on television dedicated to survival techniques and even “doomsday” type preppers, you are likely somewhat familiar with the idea of survival training.

But, what those television shows might not explain properly is that survival training isn’t just for adventure buffs and the slightly paranoid.

Survival training is a very real and useful life tool that everyone should look into at some level. The fact is that being prepared for unforeseen disasters (such as destructive weather events, major industrial accidents, or even terrorism) is a responsible move.

What Is Survival Training?

Survival training is exactly what it sounds like. It is training you to survive outside of your usual comfort zone. Survival training can be taught for wilderness survival, or even urban survival should you ever be in a situation where you need to survive on your own in a city environment. There are many facets of survival training.

What Skills Are Taught?

Since there are so many types of survival training, the skill sets will vary, but most of the common core necessities will always be taught. These skills will revolve around food, water, shelter, and first aid.

Who Needs Survival Training?
Everyone needs to have at least a basic working knowledge of how to survive in many types of situations. Anyone that could ever get lost in the woods, find themselves stranded anywhere, or find themselves in a disaster situations could seriously benefit from survival training.

Why Is Survival Training Necessary?
Catastrophic disasters are not all that far-fetched, and people get stranded or lost almost every day. If your car stalls on a deserted road with no way to call for help, you need to know what to do and how to proceed.

When Is a Good Time to Look into Survival Training?
The Chinese have a proverb… “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”

This is very true for survival training. The best time to learn is during times of peace. Once disaster strikes, you will not have time to start learning.

Considering the fact that accidents and disasters of all types happen nearly every day, the sooner you are prepared for anything the better.

Will I Ever Really Use Survival Training?
Consider the old adage “Hope for the best, but plan for the worst”. Hopefully you will never have to use the skills you learn through survival training, but it certainly will help if you ever do.

Where Can I Find Survival Training?
There are survival classes and trainers all over the world. Some are taught in a class environment, while others offer more one-on-one type experiences. Or you could read The Lost Ways and learn whatever you need to know from there.

How Do I Locate Survival Experts in My Area?
A search through the internet or yellow pages will help you locate a trainer in your area. Of course, make sure that you are hiring a reputable person with plenty of experience, referrals, and recommendations.

Survival training isn’t just for adrenaline junkies, Eagle Scouts, and worriers. In fact, it is a very responsible life skill to have. Consider everything that could go wrong on a daily basis, and you will see that survival training is one of the smartest things to do to keep yourself and family safe – no matter what.

Now let’s look at 8 basic prepper skills you must have.

Skill #1 – Being able to store and preserve food/water
Knowing how to store and preserve your food is probably the most important skill that any prepper should possess. During a disaster, the food and water you’ve stored can mean the difference between survival or extreme hardship.

When there is a shortage of food and water, people will scramble and fight for whatever scraps they can get. The situation can get very ugly. It is of paramount importance to prepare ahead of time.

Since food is a perishable item, you will need to know what foods can last a long time and it will really help if you have knowledge of food preservation.

It is never a bad idea to have at least a small stockpile of food in the event of an emergency. Inclement weather events, power outages, and other disasters could make finding food outside of your home nearly impossible. Having something to fall back on is a smart and safe plan.

Consider this very realistic scenario: What if you were caught in a long-term power outage due to a severe storm that caused flooding and major damage to roadways. In a situation like that you could be stuck in your home potentially for weeks.

How Much Food Should You Store?
Every home should have a minimum of three days’ worth of food and water appropriate for their family size, but having at least two weeks’ worth is preferred.

The rule of thumb for water is one gallon of water per person per day, and do not forget to count children and pets at up to a full gallon of water each as well.

The amount of food will depend on your family, but there should be enough to provide enough calories and nutrition to keep you healthy. At the very minimum, each family member should be able to have at least one full meal per day.

What Kinds of Food Should You Store?
You will want to stock food that has a minimum of a 3-6 month shelf life, and keep that stock rotated so that nothing is spoiled should an emergency occur.

Look for canned goods and other non-perishable foods that your family will eat. It will not do much good to only stock canned foods that no-one likes, because then it will be less likely that everyone will consume enough food and get the proper nutrition.

What Are Some Examples of Foods to Store?
Ready to eat canned goods that do not require cooking before consumption, granola bars, dried milk, peanut butter, nuts, and protein bars are all examples of good items to store.

Crackers, bread, and similar products are good to keep as well – as long as you keep the stock rotated and keep in mind that they will not last as long as non-perishable items.

How Do You Store Food Items Long Term?
Have a shelf, closet, pantry, or cellar dedicated to your emergency food storage. Everything in your emergency food supply should be stored in airtight containers and you will want to have extra storage containers and/or zip lock bags to keep opened items in.

Keep a list or clearly mark all boxes, cans, and bags with expiration dates and “opened on” dates and keep your stock rotated and free of expired items.

Keeping a stockpile of food and water for your family to fall back on in times of need is a responsible part of emergency preparedness.

Skill #2 – First Aid
Another very useful skill to have will be first aid skills. During tough times, it’s easier to get wounded or become sick. A knowledge of first aid will help you treat wounds or health issues in a timely manner.

Very often, the first aid will help the person who is suffering to hold on until professional medical help arrives. Immediate assistance from someone with a knowledge of first aid can mean the difference between life and death. Do take up a first aid course.

Skill #3 – Self-defense
It goes without saying that you will need self-defense skills to defend yourself or protect your family. During stressful times, people will rob, steal and kill just to get something from you. Law and order may not be present and this will exacerbate the problem.

Learn how to handle a handgun and practice on the range whenever you can. Tactical training in stressful scenarios will help you be better prepared during an actual event where danger is imminent.

Most people are not mentally prepared to handle a stressful scenario. Even if they know how to use a gun, they may freeze up when it’s time to use it because they’re paralyzed by fear.

Besides guns, hand to hand combat skills are really helpful too. Choose arts like krav maga, eskrima, close quarter combat or boxing. These will be far more effective in a situation where you need to protect yourself.

Traditional martial arts while effective take years to master and most people just don’t have the time to practice so much. You need simple and effective maneuvers to take down your opponent fast so that you can escape.

Skill #4 – Homekeeping & gardening skills
Learn to mend your own clothes, fix your plumbing and even grow your own vegetables in your garden. In our current day and age, we often rely on others to do certain tasks.

If there’s a drain choke, we call the plumber. If we need groceries, we go to the supermarket. It’s all so easy. However, during difficult times, there may not be a plumber around or the local supermarket may be empty. What will you do then?

If you know how to grow your own veggies and fix your household issues yourself, you will not need to be reliant on anyone else.

Skill #5 – Outdoor skills
Outdoor skills refer to being able to hunt and fish or forage for food. You may even wish to raise your own chickens and many people do this. But you’ll need to butcher them yourself.

Killing an animal takes some getting used to and it would be a good idea to practice it every now and then so you get used to the feeling of hunting and killing an animal for food.

Knowing how to raise livestock properly and how to get the most use out of the meat and organs is a skill you’ll need to learn. It’s best to take up some classes at a farm where they’ll show you how to go about it.

Skill #6 – Mechanical skills
Mechanical skills here refer to being able to keep your vehicle working during times of crisis. Knowing how to change a tire or change the oil are very useful skills to have. There might not be a mechanic or a tow truck service around during bad times.

Once again, there are courses and classes that you can take to brush up your skills here. A vehicle is very important because it means that you’re mobile and if the vehicle breaks down on you, you will be equipped with the skills to fix the problem and keep going.

Skill #7 – Knowing how to build a black out box
Power outages are very common and happen more often than any natural disaster. You need to be able to build a black box to keep things going. You can learn how to build one in The Lost Ways and there’s a lot of other information that will help you too.

Skill #8 – Physical fitness

These are the Hard Facts and Remedies To Help You Overcome Diabates

Diabetes іѕ а metabolic disorder, whеrеіn thе blood sugar оr glucose levels іn thе body’s blood stream аrе excessively high. Over 300 million people аrоund thе globe аrе suffering frоm it.

This disorder is the result of thе body nоt producing sufficient insulin. Insulin іѕ thе hormone thаt regulates thе blood sugar levels. Diabetes is also the result of cells in thе body not responding tо thе insulin thаt іѕ produced.

Thе foods thаt wе eat аrе turned into glucose whісh gives uѕ thе energy wе require tо live аnd carry оut оur daily activities. Thе glucose present іn thе blood provides energy tо thе body fоr performing several activities.

Thе body produces insulin, а hormone secreted bу thе pancreas tо transport thе glucose into thе cells.

Whеn а person іѕ suffering frоm diabetes, the glucose does nоt get absorbed into thе cells аnd remains іn thе blood. Thіѕ condition has а damaging effect оn thе cells оf thе body whеrе thе glucose іѕ badly needed as fuel.

If іt іѕ left uncontrolled, thе damage will nоt just be confined tо thе cells оf thе body but wіll also affect ѕоmе оf thе vital organs оf thе body including the kidneys аnd lungs. You definitely do not want this to happen.

Thеrе аrе three major types of thіѕ disorder. Type 1, type 2 аnd gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes іѕ thе body’s failure tо produce insulin, Type 2 results frоm thе insulin resistance оf thе cells. Gestational diabetes occurs whеn thеrе аrе higher blood glucose levels іn thе body during pregnancy.

In Type 1 diabetes, thе body does nоt have thе ability tо make insulin. This type of diabetes is the most dangerous.

In Type 2 diabetes, thе body саnnоt make оr utilize insulin adequately. Wіthout adequate amounts оf insulin, thе glucose remains іn thе blood.

This is the most common type of diabetes and can often be avoided if the patient only knew how to. It саn cause symptoms like frequent urination, thirst, fatigue, аnd blurred vision.

Sоmеtіmеѕ thеrе mау bе no symptoms аt аll. Having а blood test саn bе а way оf checking іf one has diabetes оr nоt. If diagnosed, devising а diet, weight control, аnd exercise саn bе ways tо control іt.

Thе blood glucose level ѕhоuld аlѕо bе monitored regularly аnd thе prescribed medications ѕhоuld bе taken аѕ advised bу thе doctor.

Several excellent programs online such as Diabetes Loophole teach people to get a grip on their diabetes and show them exactly what they need to do to prevent their diabetes problem from escalating beyond control.

Having excessive glucose іn thе blood, оvеr а period оf time, саn lead tо diabetes аnd various associated problems. Fоr example, іt саn impair thе nerves, kidneys, аnd eyes. It саn even cause gangrene, stroke, аnd heart disease.

Gestational diabetes usually goes away on its own once the woman has given birth.

You should always bear in mind that diabetes іѕ а chronic condition thаt stays wіth уоu throughout уоur entire lifetime. Whеn уоu аrе а diabetic, уоu need tо bring аbоut ѕоmе serious changes іn уоur lifestyle іn order tо bе аblе tо live а healthy аnd problem free life.

Failing to bе cautious аbоut eating аnd exercise requirements, саn lead tо serious complications, ѕоmе оf whісh, саn have аn irreversible effect оn thе body.

Uncontrolled diabetes соuld result іn blood sugar levels that are еіthеr tоо high оr tоо low. Bоth оf thеѕе conditions саn lead tо ѕоmе serious consequences, whісh саn result іn blindness, heart failure, kidney failure аnd even death!

A comic in a magazine once showed a doctor telling a patient, “What fits your busy schedule better, exercising one hour a day or being dead 24 hours a day?”

While this is funny, it does make a very salient point. You must exercise and take your health seriously. Treat diabetes casually and you will end up a casualty.

Fоr а better understanding оf how tо control diabetes wіthоut medication, уоu muѕt know іtѕ causes first.

What are the causative factors of diabetes?

It іѕ nоt known fully уеt whаt exactly causes diabetes. Medical science still does nоt understand whу ѕоmе people get affected bу thіѕ metabolism disorder whіlе others remain unaffected. Hоwеvеr, thеrе аrе ѕоmе factors thаt ѕееm tо bе associated wіth thе higher chances оf getting thе disease. Given bеlоw аrе ѕоmе оf thоѕе factors:

Type 1 Diabetes:
It іѕ thоught thаt Type 1 іѕ аn autoimmune disease, whісh means thаt thе immune system оf thе body acts against thе cells оf thе pancreas, thuѕ hampering thе production оf insulin.

A susceptibility to developing thіѕ type оf diabetes mау occur іn families. Certain kinds оf viral infections mау аlѕо cause іt.

Type 2 Diabetes:
Hereditary Factor: A strong genetic link іѕ suspected іn Type 2, whісh means thаt іt has а tendency оf running іn families. Thоѕе whо have а history оf diabetes іn thеіr family background аrе 25 percent more susceptible tо developing diabetes.

Dietary Factor: Modern eating habits comprise largely оf consuming foods high іn refined carbohydrates ѕuсh аѕ bread, biscuits, cakes, candies аnd ѕо оn. Thіѕ has given rise tо thе epidemic оf diabetes cases іn оur times.

Excessive Weight: Compared tо muscle cells, fat cells contain fewer receptors оf insulin. Alѕо, fat cells give off free fatty acids, whісh hamper thе metabolism оf glucose. Thіѕ leads tо hyperglycemia (an excess of glucose in the bloodstream) whісh ultimately results іn diabetes.

Sedentary Lifestyle: Thе modern lifestyle thаt many people lead today involves less physical work аnd long hours оf sitting during work. After work leisure activites are often just as sedentary. Lying on the couch watching TV or knocking back beers at the bar doesn’t count as core exercise or bicep training. Research has revealed thаt thеrе аrе higher chances оf developing diabetes thе less active аn individual іѕ.

Stress Factor: Anоthеr aspect оf оur modern life іѕ thе high amount оf stress encountered іn оur jobs оr day-tо-day activities. Thе metabolism іѕ аlѕо adversely affected bу а chaotic аnd irregular lifestyle. Even emotional stress ѕuсh аѕ worry, anxiety, аnd grief mау cause changes іn thе blood sugar levels, leading tо thе disease.

Smoking аnd age аrе аlѕо ѕоmе оf thе оthеr factors thаt саn cause diabetes.

Are there any early signs of diabetes?

A few symptoms оf diabetes аrе manifested іn thе early stage (оr prediabetes phase). About one-third оf people whо have diabetes remain unaware оf thеir high blood sugar level. Whеn thе early signs оf diabetes аrе present, thеу аrе often confused wіth symptoms оf оthеr health problems. Lеt’s look into ѕоmе оf thе warming signs оf diabetes.

A common sign exhibited іn thе early stages оf type 1 аnd type 2 diabetes іѕ frequent urination (polyuria). Since thе glucose іn thе blood increases аbоvе thе normal level, filtration bу kidneys іѕ incomplete. Thіѕ аlѕо hampers water absorption bу thе kidneys, resulting іn frequent urination.

Due tо increase іn thе frequency оf urination, thе body losses excessive fluid. Ultimately, dehydration occurs, causing increased thirst (polydipsia). If one іѕ drinking more fluid thаn thе usual amount, аnd thе number оf urination іѕ increased, еіthеr type 1 оr type 2 diabetes іѕ suspected.

Anоthеr warning sign оf type 1 аnd type 2 diabetes іѕ increased appetite. One оf thе functions оf insulin іѕ stimulating hunger. Since, thе body starts secreting more insulin tо lower the glucose level іn thе bloodstream it is inevitable to experienced increased hunger (polyphagia).

A patient whо іѕ іn thе prediabetes stage suffers frоm unusual weight loss, even wіthоut trying. Thіѕ іѕ caused due tо excessive loss оf sugar іn thе urine. Thе body starts using muscular proteins аnd fats аѕ іtѕ source оf energy, resulting іn weight loss. Thіѕ symptom іѕ typical оf type 1 diabetes.

In а person wіth prediabetes, excess sugar іѕ found іn thе blood аnd nоt іn thе cells. Aѕ thе body cells аrе deprived оf thе main energy source – glucose, thе patient feels increased fatigue throughout the day. Physical ability іѕ lowered аnd thе patient gets tired very easily.

Vision problems are also reported іn patients with type 2 diabetes. Increase іn thе blood sugar levels leads tо change іn thе shape оf thе eye lenses. Ovеr time, thіѕ results іn poor focusing power аnd blurred vision іn patients.

A type 2 diabetic patient suffers frоm frequent yeast аnd skin infections. Unchecked high sugar brings аbоut damage tо thе nerves, causing neuropathy symptoms (numbness іn thе extremities). In addition, cuts аnd wounds take longer period tо heal.

It has bееn found thаt thе immune system оf а diabetic patient іѕ lower than а healthy person. Thіѕ mау bе due tо presence оf elevated glucose іn thе blood, whісh іn turn hampers thе proper functioning оf white blood cells (leukocytes).

It goes without saying that if you experience any of the abovementioned signs, you should immediately seek the advice of a doctor. Early detection and lifestyle changes will arrest the progress of the condition.

Remember thаt аn untreated diabetes саn lead tо serious health problems ѕuсh аѕ diabetic retinopathy (eye disease), diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage), kidney disease аnd kidney failure. Impotency іn men аnd vaginal dryness іn women afflicted wіth type 2 diabetes аrе аlѕо nоt uncommon.

Can I reverse my diabetes?

Thе term “reverse diabetes” ѕhоuld nоt bе taken literally. There are many excellent guides such as Reverse Your Diabetes Today, an online bestseller which use the term “reverse”. So what does that mean?

What the program teaches you to do is to have control over your diabetes and not let it control your life. There are a ton of helpful practices and little lifestyle changes in the guide that you can use to keep this hormonal imbalance in check.

Once you have control over your diabetes, you’ll not need to worry. The new habits that you have formed will be healthy and not at risk of exacerbating your condition. This will work best for Type 2 diabetes which is the most responsive to dietary and lifestyle changes.

In a way, you can reverse your diabetes. You may not be able to make it go away permanently but if you don’t worry about it anymore and it’s not a threat, then it can be considered as a problem that is resolved.

What if I just ignore my diabetes?

Uncontrolled diabetes will end uр affecting each аnd еvеrу part оf уоur body. Your heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, gums аnd teeth, nerves and thе other senses will be affected. By then, you will not be able to ignore the condition because of the amount of pain and discomfort you’ll be in.

Serious consequences like paralysis аnd coma resulting frоm diabetic neuropathy may arise. Mentioned bеlоw are a few complications that may arise.

Hypoglycemia аnd / оr Hyperglycemia

Hypoglycemia іѕ а condition whеrеіn thе blood sugar levels go аѕ low аѕ 60 mg/dl аnd cause symptoms like confusion, palpitations, sweating, nausea аnd dizziness.

Thіѕ condition саn occur іf а person has nоt bееn eating meals оn time, оr іѕ suffering frоm оthеr health conditions like kidney failure. In thіѕ condition, thе person ѕhоuld bе given sugar оr candies immediately tо bring thе sugar level bасk tо normal.

Thіѕ condition саn result іn severe consequences like blindness, numbness, tingling аnd burning sensation іn thе toes аnd feet, аnd weakness.

There are people who have gone blind because they ignored their diabetes. Sad but true.

Brain Problems аnd Stroke

Our brain іѕ dependent оn оur heart fоr thе supply оf glucose enriched blood whісh enables thе smooth functioning оf thе brain. Hоwеvеr, іn cases оf low blood sugar, thе brain іѕ unable tо receive thе supply thеrеbу resulting іn consequences like coma, fainting аnd even paralysis. Bесаuѕе uncontrolled diabetes саn аlѕо affect thе arteries аnd nerves, thе presence оf blood clots саn аlѕо lead tо strokes.

Nerve Problems

The nerves аnd the brain аrе interrelated tо each оthеr. High blood sugar levels іn thе body саn result іn severe damage to thе nerves. Thіѕ саn lead tо amputations іn thе legs аnd feet. Research аlѕо shows thаt аlmоѕt 60% оf thе cases оf leg аnd foot amputations аrе caused bу diabetes.

5 Tips To Seduce A Man

[icegram campaigns=”652″]

[Want To Go Straight To My Language of Desire Video Review? Click Here Now]]

Read this to learn How To Seduce A Man and Make Him Want You!

It is often assumed that women have it easier in the dating game since men tend to do most of the chasing and women just need to wait and decide which man is best for them. The reality however, is quite different.

There are millions of women who want a good man in their lives and are unable to attract the one they want. That’s why you often hear women say, “All the good ones are taken.”

Yet, if you stopped to observe, you’d notice that some women have no problems attracting men into their lives whereas most other women struggle to find a man… and in the event they do get a guy’s attention, they become a nervous wreck and end up losing him.

In this short report, you will discover 5 tips that will help you seduce a man without having to jump through hoops. While these 5 tips are great to start off with, they are by no means complete.

If you truly want to understand how a man thinks and be successful at getting the man you want, you need a proven step-by-step plan of action. There are several guides sold online that help women with this issue.

One of the bestselling guides that has helped thousands of women is the Language Of Desire. There are several other guides too but this is one of the best and it has testimonials from women who have used it to get the man they desire.

Now, knowing how to seduce a man is not just for single women. Even women who have boyfriends or married women will benefit from this skill. Very often, relationships grow stale and the man’s eye starts to wonder.

Other women suddenly start to become more attractive and appealing. A woman who has a partner that has lost interest in her is often heartbroken and has no idea what to do.

In many cases, she may feel that she has done no wrong… and the truth of the matter is that she most probably hasn’t. Familiarity breeds contempt and once the initial thrill of a new relationship or marriage starts to fade, many men become bored and feel like they are unappreciated by their partners.

So, they end up seeking admiration and attention from other women. By knowing how to seduce your man, you’ll always have his attention and need not fear that he will succumb to the wiles of another woman.

You’ll also be able to keep the romance and flirty nature of your relationship alive. You want sparks to fly in your relationship and it should be passionate.

If you neglect it and don’t put in any effort, the passion in your relationship is going to end up like a bag of wet sand. You have to put in the work to keep the relationship alive. There is no other way and knowledge of seduction will really help here.

Tip #1 – Have the right mindset

Your mindset is everything here. You must have a relaxed, light-hearted and playful nature. Men like women who laugh easily and don’t have a debate over every single thing.

Leave the arguing and triggered emotions to the feminists. You need to be the kind of woman who is mysterious, alluring and still approachable.

Most women are shy and believe that they’re either not pretty enough or they are too old or their body isn’t that great, etc. All these fears and negative attitudes that you hold about yourself will hold you down.

If you don’t think well of yourself, why would any man do so? And those men who do like you and approach you will end up being put off by your negative self-image.

Believe in yourself. Release your fears and be a little bold. You want to engage with a man in a way that holds his interest and keeps him hooked on you without it seeming like you’re throwing yourself at him.

There is a fine line that separates a confident woman who knows what she wants from a woman who looks like she desperately needs a man. The former will get the man… and the latter will get him running in the opposite direction.

So, how to you maintain this balance? How do you signal your intentions to a man without scaring him off?

Excellent questions. See Tip #2.

Tip #2 – Appear detached
This is probably the most difficult tip to master but once you can do it, you will be unstoppable. Being detached means that you do not seem to care about the outcome.

This is the total opposite of how most women behave. Usually, they like a man, fixate on him and believe that he is the perfect one for them. It appears as though without him they will be destined to a life of being single and growing old in a house full of cats.

When you believe this, you will develop a certain ‘needy’ vibe and the man will feel it on a subconscious level. You will appear too eager to please and will constantly do things to suffocate the relationship.

A woman who is detached will let a man chase her and even if she is totally into him, she’ll remain a little mysterious. What you want to do is make him think that you like him but he shouldn’t be too sure about it.

Men love the chase and if you show a little bit of interest in them, they’ll keep trying to please you. If you easily succumb to the chase because you’re desperate for a man, they’ll think you’re easy and it will work against you. People generally treasure what is hard to get.

So, be confident in yourself and don’t worry about the outcome. Let things play out as they should without trying to rush things.

A good analogy here will be to liken this dating dance to flying a kite. If you pull the string too hard, it will snap and fly off. If you give the string too much slack, the kite will come collapsing down.

In the same way, do not play too hard to get or the man will probably run off to another woman… nor should you be too easy or he’ll lose interest fast once he gets you. Keep the tension going.

Tip #3 – Flattery and admiration matters!

The number one reason most partners cheat is not because of sex. Most people cheat because they feel more admired by someone else.

When you’re trying to seduce a man, a compliment now and then will work wonders in your favor. Most women never compliment a man often… and the ones who do always end up winning their hearts.

This is especially true in marriages where the wives keep finding faults with their husbands and make him think that everything he does is wrong. It’s no wonder that their hubbies end up cheating with a female co-worker at work who gives them flirty looks.

It’s not the sex. It’s the admiration. They like the attention they get from the new lady.

If you want to seduce a man, learn how to drop a well-placed compliment at the right time. This is so important when it comes to seducing a man.

This is why you need a guide like Language Of Desire that comes with a whole list of things to say or text that will make a man feel desired.

Most women just don’t have a clue what to say. So, a guide like this will be very helpful. Even a small comment such as, “You really look good in white.” … or a compliment like, “Are you working out? Your arms look bigger.” will immediately arrest the attention of a man and give him an ego boost.

It may seem trivial… but flattery works in small doses. Do not overdo it. Flattery is so potent that even small amounts work wonders. Forget the pheromone sprays or the sexy dresses. Nothing works better than flattery.

Women in marriages who feel like their husbands have lost interest in them will be able to rekindle the lost passion just by taking an interest in him and complimenting him more often. Compliments about his bedroom skills are even more powerful and will keep his mind only on you.

It’s not too hard to do this. It may seem awkward at first if you’re the kind of woman who keeps her feelings to herself. However, if you want to seduce a man, you will need to be willing to try new things and adopt a slightly bolder attitude. If you will change, everything will change for you.

Tip #4 – Audio, visual and kinesthetic tactics

Here’s something you should know. Different men get seduced differently. Some men are seduced by the flirty things you say. Other men are seduced by the way you look such as your dress or your red lipstick coated lips. And there are some men who get seduced with just one flirty touch on their collar.

It all depends on the man. However, if the man is a stranger whom you’ve just met at the bar or some other place, you won’t know what turns him on. That’s why you need to employ several different tactics at the same time.

If you’re at a bar or club and it’s loud, you can talk close to his ear in whispers. The man who likes to get seduced through sound will be very interested in you.

Or you could touch his arm every now and then while talking to him but let the touch linger a little longer than usual. The kinesthetic man will immediately pick up on this and be more interested in you.

To attract the ‘visual’ kind of man, a nice dress with immaculate make up that draws attention to your lips will be very helpful. Give him flirty looks and look into his eyes slightly longer than is normal.

All these are very effective techniques to seduce a man. Even simple gestures like brushing his hair away or squeezing his hand a little may be enough to make him look at you in a whole new way.

Tip #5 – Be decisive

The last tip is to be the kind of woman who knows what she wants. Men love a woman who takes charge but at the same time lets him lead.

So, what does this mean?

It means being able to decide when you are posed with a question. If he asks you where you want to go, tell him a place instead of saying ‘anywhere.’ If he asks you what you want to eat, decide on a dish instead of ‘Anything you’re having’… Be decisive.

If you’re on a date, do not order a plain salad and water and pick at your salad listlessly. Go ahead and eat with gusto. Men love a woman with a healthy appetite. A date is not a time for you to be trying to lose weight. One meal isn’t going to put 10 pounds on your body.

It’s a date. Go ahead and order the steak and potatoes. He’ll be glad you did… and so will you.

Being decisive will make any date more fun and enjoyable. You’ll have suggestions if he asks you whether you want to watch a movie. You may have ideas that both of you could try. Go ahead and share them. You’ll be amazed at how much fun you’ll have.

Many women feel insecure and would rather let the man make all the decisions for them. They think that it makes the man feel better when in reality, he feels like the woman doesn’t seem to have much interest in the relationship or date because she doesn’t have an opinion about anything.

So, you must understand how a man thinks. Successful seduction will require you to come out of your shell and be bold. It can be a Herculean effort but if you can practice it, over time you’ll be amazed at what a confident woman you become and you’ll have men eating out of your hands.

In conclusion…
Seducing a man is not rocket science and it’s relatively easy once you know what to do. What is most difficult to do will be having to change your attitude and mindset. You may need to say things or act in a way that you’re not accustomed to.

Practice makes perfect here. You don’t have to make extreme changes to your personality but being more interesting, confident and a little bold definitely helps.

Pick up Language Of Desire and just follow the advice in the guide. If other women have succeeded with it, so can you. All you need to do is put into action what you’ve been told to do. That’s really all there is to it.

Once you get used to it, you will be able to get the man you want and will not have to worry that your relationship will get stale and your partner will find love in another’s arms. You will know how to seduce him and keep him. It doesn’t get better than that.

Read this article to discover How To Win Your Ex Back Without The Pain And Drama.

Breaking up with someone that you’re in love with can be excruciatingly painful. Usually, it’s worse if the relationship lasted a long time. It goes without saying that the person who was dumped is usually the one who suffers more.

The only way to put an end to the pain quickly will be to get the one you lost back. One of the most common mistakes that people make is that they do all the wrong things when trying to win back their ex.

Their emotions do not let them think straight and what they think will work only ends up repelling their ex whom they’re hoping to win.

In this short report, you’ll learn 7 secrets to getting your ex back. Of course, this guide is just a primer to get you started. If you want a complete plan, there are several guides such as The Ex Factor which will really help you.

Now let’s look at the 7 secrets.

Secret #1 – Know If Your Ex Worth Fighting For?
Sometimes, not getting what you want is a good thing. This truism may apply to your breakup and if you should fight to win back your ex’s love or just let them fade into the sunset while you find someone else.

Of course, the reason you broke up is the most crucial determining factor.

There are many magazines that talk about methods of dealing with breakups and how to find a new partner, etc. It’s always about moving on with life or salvaging an almost broken relationship. It’s usually never about breathing new life into a relationship that is dead.

When someone dumps you, they’re in essence killing the relationship. That’s it. They want out. It’s over. That’s the hard truth and romanticizing the breakup isn’t going to change the facts.

First, you need to ask yourself who did the breaking up.

99% of the time, if you’re reading this, the other party did the breaking up leaving you lost, hurt, angry and discombobulated. Not a pleasant state to be in.

Now you need to ask yourself why? Why did they breakup with you?

Did you cheat on them? If you’re a guy and you cheated, you deserve it. If you’re a lady, guess what? You deserve it too. But… but… all is not lost. So, you messed up and wished you had never given in to temptation, but the milk has been spilled. No point crying over it.

You need to make amends. In most cases, women tend to be more forgiving. With the right actions, you can win back your ex. If you cheated because of your weakness and it has nothing to do with your ex’s shortcomings, then yes, fight for your ex’s love.

Get a book such as The Ex Factor that guides you on regaining your ex’s trust and love and follow the advice in the book to the letter. Make an effort.

If you got dumped because your ex found somebody who is richer, better looking, more famous, etc. you need to ask yourself if you really want a shallow person as your partner.

Money can be earned if you apply yourself, looks fade, lust diminishes with time and all initial excitement will eventually die. What really matters is if your partner sticks by your side. If your partner can’t be with you when you’re at your worst, then they do not deserve you when you’re at your best.

That being said, be frank with yourself. Are you a slob? Lazy? Can’t be bothered to work? Spend more time on the TV than with your partner? Too lazy to be good in bed? Unappreciative?

If the fault lies with you, guess what? You deserve getting dumped. Let’s face the facts. If it’s you, then your ex is worth fighting for.

So what you need to do is get your act together and show your ex that you have changed. You have changed for them. Show them that they matter to you. They will come back.

Deep down, in your heart, you know why the breakup happened. You also know if they’re worth fighting for. You know. Just follow your heart, make the changes, get a book to guide you and do what you need to.

Secret #2 – Get Your Emotional Pain under Control

Yes… breakups are painful but it’s imperative that you manage your heartache well.

If you’re a woman and turn to your friends for support, you’ll probably hear them say stuff like, “Oh! You’re better off without that jerk! Someone better will come along.”

If you’re a guy, your buddies will probably throw you a can of beer and say, “Bro! The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else!” They’ll then proceed to try and bring you to clubs or joints where you can ‘hook up’ with someone new.

You may feel better while you are in the company of friends or supportive family. Yet, deep down, the pain will be there. When you are alone or about to sleep at night, your heart will ache for the one you miss. This is human nature.

However, how will you deal with the heart ache you presently feel? Follow the 4 tips below to find out.

1. Decide if you are willing to accept the break up. A break up is not the end of the world and does not necessarily mean the relationship is over. Millions of couples around the world have broken up and patched things up and gotten back together.

So, if you decide to try and win back the love of your life, wipe away your tears, pull back your shoulders and it’s time to start planning a strategy to get them back. Don’t be a sniveling and groveling wreck.

Get a guide that teaches people to get back their exes and follow it.

2. Start exercising. This is very common because people want to get back in shape to impress the opposite sex. However, in most cases, you may be feeling too down to exercise.

Choose an exercise that is exciting. Forget the gym, running, cycling and other boring forms of exercise that is so routine that your mind can drift off. Do something that engages your mind and body so that you can’t think too much about anything else.

Take up boxing or a martial arts. Go swimming. Start mountain climbing. Do exciting stuff.

3. Take time to think. Relax. There are about 7 billion people on earth. Chances are extremely high that there is someone else out there for you.

4. If you’re not planning on getting your ex back, cut off all contact with them. Remove them from your contact list, do not text them, don’t go out with them as ‘friends’, remove them from your Facebook, etc.

This need not be permanent but during the recovery phase, keeping your ex at arm’s length is essential to a quicker recovery.

Secret #3 – What You MUST NOT Do To Get Your Ex Back

The author, John Green, said it best with the line, “You can love someone so much…But you can never love people as much as you can miss them.”

The pain of missing them can seem unbearable to most people. That is why the first thing that the majority of people do when they get dumped is to quickly run back to their ex and beg for a second chance and try to save the relationship.

They want to get back immediately to end the pain. It just doesn’t work that way. Quite the opposite actually. The more you try to attract your ex, the more you’ll repel them.

Below are a list of 5 of the most common mistakes that people make when they get dumped. Avoid these mistakes at all costs. They can cause irreversible damage and you may never get your ex back.

1. Repeated efforts
Nothing is more annoying than someone repeatedly apologizing and begging to come back. Your ex will never take you back if you do this.

You have given up your pride by begging and given your ex all the power to say no. Do not put them on a pedestal. You’re a human being who deserves respect too. Cut off all contact from your ex for about 3 weeks.

They wanted to leave you? Fine. Let them have what they want. No contact. Let them wonder what happened. Let them miss you and get all concerned. They’ll definitely try contacting you.

2. Do NOT propose
So many guys make this mistake. After their girlfriend dumps them, they try to snare her with a proposal. Your relationship is already on the rocks if she has broken up with you. A marriage proposal is the last thing you should do.

Even if she left because you didn’t propose, do not do it. A marriage should be the result of a loving relationship, not an ultimatum.

3. Do not give gifts.
Why would you even think of rewarding someone who broke your heart? To make matters worse, some scummy exes take the gifts but don’t take their partner back. Never give a gift. You cannot bribe your way back into their heart.

4. Do not write letters.
Writing a love letter that is longer than War and Peace. This is another of those mistakes that is all too common.

Firstly, pouring your heart out on paper is not going to change their mind. Secondly, you don’t know if your partner secretly has someone on the side that they ditched you for. This letter might become a source of amusement. People can be nasty. Lastly, letters do NOT work.

5. Don’t fake being pregnant.
Girls have done it when their boyfriends have left them. You’ll just chase the guy further away and end up looking like a liar.

Avoid all the mistakes above and it’s half the battle won. You really want your ex back?

Get a guide that teaches you how to. There are a few very good ones available online. Get them. Apply the info in the guide and if all goes well, you can get the one you love back. Thousands have done it and so can you. There is hope.

Secret #4 – Your Actions Need To Be Counter Intuitive

Many things in life are pretty straightforward. If you wish to lose weight, eat less and move more. If you want to ace an exam, study for it. If you want to excel at your job, add more value to your work.

If you have just been dumped, beg your ex with lots of apologies and tears to give you a second chance. Right?

BEEEP! Wrong answer. When dealing with your ex, this is the last thing you should do. It’s really strange because these are the first things that most people do.

They think that by pleading, begging, arguing with sensible explanations, etc. their ex is going to take them back. Most people expect their exes to take them back immediately and forget the whole breakup episode even happened.

This is understandable because the pain is so bad and the experience so traumatic that most people want it to be over as soon as possible. The fastest way they can do that is to make their ex take them back immediately.

This is a huge error.

The worst time to beg your ex is just after a break up. It’s ok to be hurt but don’t start sobbing and screaming. Don’t beg. In fact, just quietly leave. Go back home and cry or shout. Do not do it in front of your ex. Be calm.

Forget the need to get back together immediately. In fact, you should cut off all contact with your ex for about 2 to 3 weeks. Give them time to miss you and worry about you. They can’t miss you if you’re always in their face begging for a chance.

Sort your life out. Start doing interesting things to take your mind off the breakup. It will always be lurking around and the pain will linger. But, it’s better to have a lingering pain while you’re doing something exciting like a kickboxing class rather than sitting curled up on the couch crying into a blanket.

Your mind will tell you that it really is in no mood to do anything. Your heart will have no mood for anything. Just vegetating at home may be exactly what you want to do. That is exactly why you must NOT do it. Get active and get your life together.

Train your body. Lose weight, tone up, and get fit. Make yourself look good. Even if your ex doesn’t want you back, if you look good, there’s definitely going to be someone else who wants you. Start working out.

After about 3 weeks, if your ex initiates contact, do talk or text them but keep it short. Do not be vindictive, act irritated or hurt, etc. Be calm. Do not talk about the breakup.

If they ask you how you’ve been, tell them that you did something interesting. Probably something that they always wanted to do but didn’t. Keep the conversation light.

If they ask you out, plan a date that is exciting. Go to the beach for a swim, try out an extreme sport, go to a casino, etc. Do something that gets you excited. Forget the same old boring dinner and a movie date.

If your date was exciting, the two of you will bond again. This is a very powerful tip.

Secret #5 – Use These 10 Tips to Make Up with Your Ex

It’s actually interesting to note that there is more information available about quantum physics than there is about getting over an ex. Even less information is available about how you can get an ex back.

This could probably explain why the thousands and thousands of people who get dumped do not know what to do and end up doing all the wrong things.

You do not need to acquiesce to a break up. There are many things you can do to win your ex back… but you must know what to do and exactly when to do them.

You will find 10 tips below that will give you a brief idea about what you should do or expect. It’s not a comprehensive list like what you’d find in The Ex Factor but it’s a start.

To get a complete understanding, you’re better off getting a proven guide on this emotional topic.

* Give your ex and yourself some space and time. Cut off all contact with them for about 3 weeks. Don’t flood their inbox with emails or bombard them with text messages. Avoid writing a love letter that is long enough to be a novella. Just leave them alone.

It seems like madness to do this but you must realize that music is the space between the notes. Let them go for now. You can come back for them later.

* Never be the one to initiate contact. After 3 weeks of no contact, when they call, you may assume limited contact. Keep the conversation light. No mention of the breakup.

* They may call you more than once. Slowly try and find out if they’re still interested in you. Pick up subtle cues, tone of voice, things they say that indicate they still love you, etc.

* Start out slow. There is no rush. Limited contact that slowly builds up.

* Should your ex ask you out, find something exciting to do that is different from the old, boring dinner and a movie. Try rock climbing, jet skiing, finger painting, whatever gets both of you excited. The two of you must bond.

* Let them see what they have given up. If you’re a girl, dress sexy. Seems shallow but it works. If you’re a guy, get muscular.

* Figure out why the relationship ended. Change things and avoid the mistakes that happened.

* Sometimes you just have to say sorry. If it was your fault, apologize. Be sincere. Once or twice will do. Not a thousand times.

* If you notice that they are starting to get interested, do NOT rush things. A tiger crouches before it leaps. Just wait until they feel like they really want you. Then you can pounce on them and make them yours.

* Lastly, there are a few excellent guides on getting your ex back online. They’re inexpensive and very effective. Get one and put it to use. Don’t assume you know it all.

Secret #6 – Recognize The Tell-Tale Signs That Your Ex Wants You Back

Doing what was mentioned in this report so far is enough to make almost all exes wonder if it was such a good idea to break up. Then they may start wondering if they made a mistake. What if they do not find anyone better? What if nobody else is willing to put up with their nonsense? What if? What if? What if?

Then you will start seeing signs. Signs that indicate that your ex may be trying to weasel their way back into your life. Do not be too quick to take them back and never ever tell them that your show of strength is basically a false front.

Below are a few signs to look out for that will tell you that your ex wants you back.

* He tries calling you after the breakup to see if you’re ok. This is an excuse to talk to you and see if you’re suffering. Avoid their calls in the beginning.

* When you do talk to your ex, they ask if you’re seeing other people. Ah hah! A dead giveaway. They’re worried they’ll lose you. Always say yes… even if you’re bawling your eyes out alone at home.

* Your ex still flirts with you. If it’s a guy, ignore him. He probably wants sex. If it’s an ex-girlfriend, ignore her too and tell her that you have to go meet Tatiana. Or Michaela. Whatever exotic name you choose is up to you.

* Your ex makes comments that maybe the breakup was a mistake, they miss you, etc.

* Your ex looks at you and touches you in a way that both of you were used to.

* Tries to talk with you about the breakup and how it could have been avoided

These are some of the most common signs. There is no hard science to back anything up when it comes to relationships.

Secret #7 – Follow A Proven Strategy

Once you start seeing the signs that your ex wants you back, you’re on the right track and hopefully the two of you can work things out and have a long and rewarding relationship.

Always remember to rein in your emotions and follow a strategy when getting your ex back. Do not let your emotions rule you. Most people try and wing it… and they fail miserably. Their ex ends up with someone else and there is nothing left but regrets and bad memories.

It’s ideal to get a bestselling guide like The Ex Factor which lays out a proven step-by-step plan for you to follow. All you need to do is stick to the plan. It doesn’t get easier. If you can do that, your chances of getting your ex back will skyrocket.
