Secrets of Organic eating to lose weight

Mostly this blog is about losing weight, staying healthy, and working out by the numbers. But one of the secrets most people don't know, is that eating organically makes sense. Lowering the pesticides in our food, can be a great help to weight loss, better sleep, digestion, and help to the internal organs. Your Liver-the liver detoxes your whole body, keeps your blood clean, and helps keep poisons out of your body. This is a great organ, but its constantly overloaded with pesticides and chemicals in our food. Tip #1-find an organic farmer in your area, they shouldn't use any pesticides what soever. Your liver will thank you in the morning. Good things to buy-yellow squash, bell peppers (red and green) sweet onions. You can make a great stir fry with these that will knock your socks off. Lower your meat consumptions. I read a book a few years ago, by the diomonds and they said that when we all pass, we have about 6 ounces of beef in our colon. Wow! Your carrying around six ounces of beef your whole life. I was amazed, but have you ever noticed after a heavy meat meal you feel tired. Thats the trick, the more meat you eat, the more tired you feel. Meat is hard on the joints, the internal organs, the heart etc. Start by lowering your meet consumptions to 30% of your overall diet. You'll still be getting your protein, but a little less of it. Your whole body will thank you.Especially your blood stream. Add some deep breathing to your diet. Moving lymph around in your system is a good think. Make a pack with yourself, to do 10 breaths a day deeply to move that lymph around, and boost your immune sytsem. Try these three things and see a what a boost it can give your body. And for more info on weight loss check out our website My40fitness.com Thanks and be safe.

Was Bruce Lee Wrong?

Most people haven't explored the fact that Bruce Lee was designing his own Martia art before his untimely death. And instead of being based on tradition exercises, passed down from generation to generation, his martial art was based on the truth. "What is right for you is your martial art."He would say. If your short and all the flashy kicks don't work for you, then that is not for you, do what works and stick with that. Many times I have seen a short guy trying to do arm bars, and triangle chokes in Judo class, because one size fits all. Those techniques usually don't work for the short guys. Bruce Lee was steadfastly designing, a martial art that didn't really on maybe. Maybe this or that technique will work for you in a street fight. He didn't like maybe. He wanted you working the techniques that were the best for you. Maybe you couldn't go to the ground, and learning to stuff a grappler was better for you to stay on your feet. Bruce was very rational, and like that to be reflected in his martial art. Bruce also designed instruments to help him navigate his new playing field. Large punching bags, wrist machines, moveable kicking shields, all kinds of things only dreamed about, in Saturday afternoon matinees. Was Bruce wrong, check out my next blog to find out.

Can you do it, without the Diet?

Can you do it, without the diet? This is a question, for those of us, who want to eat whatever we want. And off set it with the work out. I absolutely, think that working out is a definite necessity. But if what your putting inside is not working, eventually it will catch up with you. Your food affects your whole system. Your bodies ability to burn fat, build muscle, and lose weight. Keep your diet in mind, and if you were a complete sugar head, like me it can be done. I started drinking coke at four years old. And didn't understand at nine that I was nuking my system with sugar and dairy. The last four weeks, I've cut everything. I just have my usual coffee in the morning to keep things civil, and start with a much different routine. I always eat breakfast, have a snack, lunch, another snack, and then eat dinner. I've lost 11 pounds so far. For updates on what I'm eating, and how I'm losing weight, check out my next post. And become a follower, that way you'll be notified when the NEXT blog comes out.

The Cacoon Workout

Over the weekend, I went to stockstill park, near downtown Branson, mo. And I had a pretty good idea. I put my mp3 player on, a pair of sun glasses and a hoodie. And blocked the whole world out. My pedometer was at my side, and I made several laps around the whole park. At the end of my workout I had done about fifteen hundred brisks steps, without batting an eye. It was cold and windy, and I wrapped myself up like a cacoon to complete the workout. As I stated in my last blog, any kind of resistance can create a workout. People complain that they don't have time to workout. You can workout anywhere, anytime, with some of these simple ideas. This weekend i'll be posting pictures from some of my workouts, that you can do anywhere so stay tuned. look for blog #10 or #11 for those workouts.

The invisible workout 2 blog #7

In a previous blog back, I talked about how you can create a workout, during your work day when no one even knows. Except hopefully yourself. lol Several ways that you can continue this workout are simple:

1. Delivering the mail. (my mailbox is across the street about a block. Up and down some stairs and past tons of old fashioined shops. just getting across the street is a chore. Think of this: the more resistance in any action, is a workout. Because working out is the process of structured resistance. Trying to get across the street is hard, I burn extra calories. Going up and down stairs is tough, more calories. Running across the street (jaywalking) not recommended, burns calories. I'm always trying to better myself from the day before. Invisible workouts are fun, no one knows about them but you. Especially your boss. So if your focused on 8000 steps per day, if you do this over a  day workday, thats 40000 steps per work week. Who knows what you could do over the weekend. Walking and working out, has lowered my stress level, blood pressure, and increase my over all well being. minus stree minus blood pressu pluss overall well being, makes  a good formula. Hence a topic for my next blog. Check out all of my blogs as this is blog #7.

A quick tip you can do next time at Mcdonalds to lose weight Blog #six

Here's a quick tip I picked up on the other day for people who are stuck eating fast food, and would like to create a strategy for losing weight, next time they go through the drive through.
      Fast Food has trained us on the wrong calorie count. The food is caloricley dense, high in sugar, and corn syrup. And is so bad for us, at times we feel trapped inside a box. Next time you go through the drive through, order the kids meal. The adult meal is about 1700 calories, as opposed to a kids meal, that is five hundred calories. Just because someone else puts your plate together, doesn't mean you have to eat all those calories, or drink all of  that soda. You decide how much your going to eat. One large soda in a fast food restaurant is about three hundred and fifty calories. So skip the soda and pick an ice tea. If just to get away from all the bad stuff in the soda. You'll thank yourself for it.
Tip Six pick the Kids meal, next time your rushing for fast food. And focus on lunch as a way to lose weight.

How to creat an "Invisible Workout" Blog #5

Two posts back I mentioned that it might be a good idea to buy a pedometer. Well, its  a good idea. You can actually begin to monitor how much you've worked out with one of these babies. I shoot for 10,000 steps a day. Which is a good way to get on the path to losing weight. The highest I've gotten so far is about 8200 steps, and counting. Today I did about 6200. My goal over 30 days is to eat right, and perform 300,000 steps. I want to see some results and so should you. Its important to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Blog #5 How to create a "secret workout"-the mind is a curious things. As you go to work each day, look around and see how you can create a workout. DO you have lots of hills near your office or work. Are there stairs around. Is their something you can walk up and down on, and begin counting your steps. Where I work there are a ton of stairs. In the morning, first thing I go up and down a set of stairs, and count 100 steps. Thats a great start. I'm working out and people don't even know it. I get it in my mind that I'm going to get as close to 10,000 steps for the day as possible. This is a secret workout. As your making your work day happen, your also focused on your health, and no one has any idea. Take your breaks, a portion of your lunch break, and make it a goal to do some steps. You'll begin to feel better a little bit at a time.
