8 Reasons Why you May Not be Losing Any More Weight

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

By Wayne Mcgregor 1. Drinking too much alcohol or pop.Although there is no fat in most alcoholic drinks they contribute to fat gain because of the calorie content of alcohol. The energy in alcohol must be burned immediately, while your body is busy burning the extra calories from the drink your body will have no choice but to store most other the calories ingested from healthy meals. Alco-pops are even worse they supply calories through the alcohol AND tons of extra energy through the added sugars. Even normal pop or soda should be cut out or at least severely restricted because of the effects on blood sugar levels. You should be drinking more bottled water instead of soda if you want to keep losing fat weight. 2. Too little exercise or less effective routines.We all know we need to exercise in order to stay trim but many people still dont do enough activity to burn off the energy from food or overcome a slow metabolism. You should strive to be active for the most part of your waking hours, or exercising for 20-30 minutes at least 3 times a week. If youre very overweight and struggle to exercise then you need to be doing more low level recreational activities. Many people get fed up with going to the gym and doing the same old routine. When a routine becomes boring you should change it as constantly repeating the same routine can ruin its fat loss potential. Our body adapts very well to exercise and repeating something your body can complete easily wont cause any physical changes. Yes, you will still burn calories but if your body has adapted to your present, daily calorie intake then youll not lose any more weight. A great way to boost results is to re-challenge the body by trying different kinds of activities; swimming, ice skating, dancing salsa or even rock climbing. If an activity becomes fun youll do it for longer and end up burning much more energy to lose weight. 3. A reduced metabolismLow calorie diets tend to work well during the first few weeks then they become ineffective for losing further weight. The reason is they cause the metabolism to slow down, thus your body adapts to the limited calorie intake. If you respond by lowering your calorie intake further youll probably end up losing even more muscle and hitting a weight loss plateau again. This cycle may continue until your resolve finally breaks and you go back to your previous eating habits. The secret is to lower intake slightly while providing good nutrition with plenty of protein to limit muscle loss. Doing some weight training will help boost the metabolism and speed fat loss. 4. Skipping meal too oftenIt sounds simple, if we eat less we should lose weight. For this reason many people skip meals but the body responds by going into starvation mode, the muscles break down in order to maintain the amino acid pool, the result is a lowered metabolism. Also if you let your blood sugar drop too low youll end up with strong hunger pains and probably end up eating far too much at the next meal. Try to eat healthy, small meals or snacks 5 6 times a day, starting with a good breakfast that contains good quality protein. Learn to stabilize blood sugar levels through the G.I. way of eating 5. Eating too much sugar and saltExcess sugar and salt are often combined together in many processed foods. Eating too much sugar in one meal causes increased blood sugar levels; the body must respond and lower it back to normal. The result is most of the excess sugar is eventually stored as body fat. This is where some people get confused because they eat sugary foods or drink lots of soda which contain little fat content, and dont realize how it can cause fat storage. Salt can be confusing too because it contains no energy but can result in weight gains, albeit water gain! Salt causes the body to hold water so too much salt makes some people believe theyre getting fatter. Its possible to be carrying an extra 5 pounds of weight just through consuming too much salt in the diet. Remember to cut down on processed, convenient foods; try to follow a diet plan full of natural, unprocessed foods. 6. Not drinking enough waterDuring an average day many ordinary people become slightly dehydrated because they lose more fluid than they drink; they often dont realize it because the thirst centre is not very accurate. Sometimes dehydration can cause hunger pains as many of us obtain a large proportion of the daily water supply from foods. If you dont drink much water and seem to be frequently hungry your body may be craving the water rather than food. Water also helps boost energy levels so you can workout more effectively to burn extra calories and lose weight. You should be drinking 8 large glasses of water every day. 7. Incorrect portion sizesWhen dieting to lose weight the old philosophy still rings true eat less to lose weight. Although you shouldnt skip meals, as discussed in point 4, the answer may be to eat little and often. Eating more meals or snacks must means small sized portions! 8. Unrealistic GoalsSetting goals that are too difficult to achieve or goals that are totally unrealistic is a common reason for failure to lose weight. Its silly trying to get the figure of a super model if you have an endomorph body type. Achieving your goals is important for continued success. If you dont reach your goal you may end up feeling like a failure and this can cause some people to comfort eat. Aim for small, easily obtainable goals to help build some momentum for success. Losing the recommended 2 pounds each week may sound too slow but at least you should be able to achieve this target without difficulty, then youll feel like a winner, and youll be one step closer to your main goal too!

Interest Rates Could Be Worse

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Martin_Lukac]Martin Lukac If you are looking to borrow, don’t let interest rates scare you. Despite how the increase is being played up in the media, they aren’t that bad yet. Yes, those with alternative and adjustable-rate mortgages are going to be feeling a crunch when the interest rates adjust. Especially those that did not plan into the future. But there are many wise homeowners that made sure that they could afford any adjustments that could occur. Others are taking the opportunity to refinance right now for a fixed-rate mortgage. And yes, rates have gone up quite significantly in the past two years. But you have to look at where they started off. Interest rates were at record low levels. You don’t have to look too far in the past (say back to 2000) to find 30-year fixed rates in the low eights. In many expert opinions, interest rates remain at a modest level for the average borrower. See the key isn’t necessarily found in the rate itself. The key is in buying what you can afford. Regardless of the rate. You may find that with price appreciation, you may have to buy a less expensive home. Will the interest rate hurt you that badly? If you are planning on a $300,000 mortgage, you may have to settle for a $285,000 one. That is the qualifying difference between a 6% and 6.5% mortgage. Don’t worry about the gloom and doom that is predicted by many financial writers. It isn’t universal and it may not apply to you. Many areas of the country are seeing booms while others are seeing busts. Prices are still going up in some areas, while prices are on the decline in others. In fact, all markets cycle up and down. They go up, adjust themselves down and then go up again. If you are a current homeowner worried about the market affecting your property value, you probably don’t have much to worry about. If you maintain your home and live in a decent neighborhood, over time the fluctuations should level you out to a reasonable rate of appreciation. Don’t simply assume that you won’t be able to sell your home. Those with homes priced according to the area will find a buyer. There may not be a bidding war, but there will be a buyer. Regardless of your situation, you shouldn’t panic just yet. Rates will go up gradually, not jump all at once. You can adjust your budget over time. Part of wise financial management is making decisions based on your individual finances, not the market or average or lender’s advice. Look to what you can afford, when you can afford it. Make your decisions wisely. After all, those with no debt don’t worry about interest rates.

Are Zero Turn Mowers Really That Special?

Friday, August 10th, 2007

By Matt Morrison They all have four tires, an engine, and a mowing deck, but are they any different from the rest? It seems like zero turn mowers are growing in popularity every year. Not only do they make quick work of large mowing areas, they are a blast to operate. Professionals have been using them for years to cut tight spaces and large lawns with ease. Zero turn radius (ZTR) means that you can turn on a dime with ease. That is, you stay in the same place while your mower is turning. Because of this, they don’t leave a circle of uncut grass that would normally require a second pass. Some companies claim that a zero turn mower can cut your mowing time in half. I would have to agree with this statement. That also means less fuel usage and less wear and tear on your unit. Once you try these units out, you will probably never go back to a steering wheel again. Nevertheless, can you still justify the extra expense before you get introduced to one of these beasts? It is pretty easy to exceed a $2,000 price tag with one. In the long run, you wont be sorry. If you are still unsure whether it is worth it or not, you can always get a demonstration for one and see the difference for yourself. They have a much longer learning curve than regular lawn tractors. Many people can only justify it if they are mowing larger lawns and most experts don’t recommend them for mowing slopes, where they are prone to tipping. Otherwise, they might select a walk behind mower instead. Matt Morrison writes regularly for Blades Lawn Care where they have other similar articles on lawn mowers like How to Sharpen Your Lawn Mower Blade.

Design Does Matter

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

By Nicola Cooper-abbs The idea that good design can improve how people perceive your business has long been a part of a designers sales tools. They try to convince you that by improving your image, maybe creating a new logo or changing the way you communicate with your customers you can somehow improve sales and improve your bottom line. But are they right?Over the years many companies have been sceptical about these claims because of a lack of concrete evidence. Designers struggle to back up their claims with written evidence and so this argument for good design often falls down at the first hurdle. Companies fail to understand why they should invest time and money in improving their visual identity if there is no tangible result. However, last year The Design Council released the results of a groundbreaking study on the link between the use of design and financial performance. The study published in March 2004 finally recognised the direct relationship between effective use of design and financial performance. The study looked at 166 design-led UK quoted companies over a period of ten years from 1994 to 2003. A group of 63 companies were recognised as effective users of design. This was based on the fact that they consistently appeared in the listings at various design award schemes. The study reveals these 63 companies outperformed both the FTSE All Share and FTSE 100 indices by around 200% between 1994 and 2003. The Design Council is a professional body which supports the work of the UK design industry. It works to demonstrate and promote the vital role of design within business and the wider UK economy. A recent study by the Design Council, Design in Britain 2004-05, based on an annual business survey of 1,500 companies of all sizes and sectors, shows companies using design to innovate and stand out are growing faster than their competitors are. According to the in-depth research, a third of the UK’s fastest growing companies see design as integral to their business, while only 11 per cent of businesses with a decreasing turnover have this view. The figures confirm the impact of design across sales, profits, quality, share price, market share and competitiveness. Using design throughout your business ultimately boosts the bottom line by helping you create better products and services that compete on value rather than price.

As the name varies, so do the laws in each state concerning DUI/DWI (which is how it will be referred to in this application). However, there is one constant: it can cause serious injuries or death, and it is against the law. Following are answers to some common questions that arise in DUI/DWI situations…Find all your DUI Lawyer/DWI Lawyer in your local area Why do I need auto insurance coverage?Whether you have a perfect driving record or a few violations under your belt, you will need auto insurance coverage. Maybe you’ve just spent way too much money on your new car, and can’t afford a lot of auto insurance coverage. Or maybe you feel like your hunk of junk isn’t worth insuring at all. Keep in mind, however, that auto insurance isn’t just about paying for damages to your own car. There are several types of auto insurance coverage available to drivers. While collision coverage is available to pay for damages to your own car, liability coverage will pay for damages to another person’s property if you are responsible for an accident. If you’re ever in this position, liability coverage can save you thousands of dollars and helps you pay the costs of related lawsuits. Although many auto insurance coverages are optional, in most states liability coverage is mandatory. These states will require minimum levels of coverage, but you should consider buying higher levels, which will afford you greater protection. Other coverages, such as comprehensive, bodily injury, and uninsured motorist are also available in many states. Take a look at the Esurance Insight, Esurance Offers Auto Insurance Tips for Your State, to find out more about auto insurance requirements in your state. Although we’d all like to think we’re immune to auto accidents, they’re called accidents for a reason. Between property damage, medical costs, and potential lawsuits, accidents can be extremely costly. Don’t leave yourself vulnerable to out-of-pocket expenses be sure to invest in adequate auto insurance coverage. Not sure how much auto insurance coverage you need?

Art Collecting Tips for Profit and Pleasure (A Six-Part Series): Part 3 - Assessing True Value

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

By Carol Chua PART 3 - THE ART OF ASSESSING TRUE VALUE To buy art intelligently, the more you know, the better. You can become a wise collector with patience and discipline. Know Your Subject To determine if a particular piece of art is worth acquiring, ask:Who is the artist? How important is the artwork? What is the artwork’s history and documentation? Is the asking price fair?Learn as much as you can about the artist and the distinctive aspects of his or her work. Ask why some pieces are more highly-valued than other pieces. Don’t just grab at ‘bargains’. Generally, the more renowned the artist is, the pricier the work. 1) WHO IS THE ARTIST? Consider : The artist’s date of birth and demise (if applicable) The artist’s training credentials The artist’s place of work and residence Positions, roles or titles held by the artist Places and countries where the artist’s work has been exhibited Organizations which the artist is associated with Collections which have the artist’s work Honors bestowed upon the artist Publications and other media which refer to the artist Factors which distinguish the artist from other artists (for example, being a master in a certain technique) How long has the artist been exhibiting and selling art? Any accomplishments? Who owns the artist’s work? The artist has more stature if his or her work is in the permanent collections of major institutions like museums. When buying from an online dealer, look out for details about the artist, such as in an “About the Artist” page like the one at Cherish Collectibles: http://www.cherishcollectibles.com/site/1256072/page/459196 2) HOW IMPORTANT IS THE ARTWORK? Next, evaluate the artwork’s importance. Get Familiar Study the artist’s work. Look at the different periods in the artist’s career. Each piece of art should be assessed in its context. View as many samples of the artist’s work as possible. Talk to people who are knowledgeable about the artist’s work. Ask the dealer to educate you about the distinctive features of the artist’s work. Art Reproductions And Originals Art reproductions come in many forms today, and some are excellent copies of the originals. Visit http://www.cherishcollectibles.com/site/1256072/page/606878 for exquisite reproduction Edna Hibel art, with a twist. Another variation of art reproductions can be found at: http://www.cherishcollectibles.com/site/1256072/page/485701 Modern digital printing technology makes it possible to produce canvas prints which are almost indistinguishable from the original, such as these giclees at: http://www.cherishcollectibles.com/site/1256072/page/485683 Buying art reproductions is fine as long as you know what you are getting. Originals, of course, always have better value. Major And Minor Works Not all originals are worth collecting. Learn to identify whether a work is major or minor, as major art pieces are worth more. Find out how significant that piece is compared to other specimens of the artist’s art. Is it a good example of the type of work that the artist is renowned for? Most novice art collectors prefer to focus on typical pieces. Collecting atypical pieces requires a strong sense of adventure. Early And Late Works Most people tend to go for early works. However, late works can also be highly-collectible. It all depends on who the artist is. Some artists actually become more accomplished and creative as they advance in age, experimenting with different techniques and styles and producing art which is more complex than anything done earlier. Best Phases Good periods are when the artist is considered to have produced superior work. Collectors generally home in on the best examples of the artist’s art from the ‘best’ phases. Unique Or Cookie-Cutter Art? Shrewd art connoisseurs favor artists who have demonstrated genuine creativity and originality, and who are always experimenting and evolving. Collections featuring such pieces are certainly more desirable than collections of cookie-cutter art. Condition Of The Artwork It’s natural for old art pieces to have some flaws, such as slight soiling. Major flaws - like fading, discoloration, large tears, unusual trimming - are the ones to watch out for. Such flaws can significantly diminish the dollar value of an artwork. Buy From Reliable Sources If you’re making your purchase through an online dealer, make sure that the dealer has a secure online payment system, offers proper packing, courier and insurance services, and has a fair return policy. If you buy from unauthorized dealers, auctions (including those on the internet), private individuals and flea markets, you’re on your own. 3) WHAT IS THE ARTWORK’S HISTORY AND DOCUMENTATION? Provenance This refers to the background and pedigreed of an artwork. Art with an illustrious provenance is more desirable than art with a non-descript background. Ask questions like:What kind of caliber does the artwork have? Is it associated with any significant event or party? Was it commissioned to mark an important occasion? What is the caliber of the commissioning party? Where has the art been exhibited? What kind of media exposure has it received? Has it received any honors or awards? Who has possessed it before? Are there any interesting stories behind it? Has anything been published about it? Has it been reproduced (with permission) in anything noteworthy or prestigious?Documentation Gather any documentation about the piece, such as certificates of authenticity, receipts, copies of publications where the art was mentioned, or signed photographs of the artist. Separate fact from fiction. If you hear any anecdotes about the work, write them down and try to get them verified. Documentation can influence marketability and value. People are more attracted to art that they can understand. Documents Can Also Have Value Good documentation helps to increase the value of the art, but well-kept documents can also have value in due time. Signed photographs of the artist or gallery brochures, receipts of the sale, reviews, certificates of authenticity - all these can have some historical and commercial value some day. Think of the Titanic. 4) IS THE ASKING PRICE FAIR? Compared to a lesser piece of art, the artwork may seem expensive, so make sure that you compare prices only with similar pieces, whether by the same artist or by artists of similar caliber who create similar work. Prices may fluctuate over time, so satisfy yourself that the price is fair at that particular point in time. Smart art collecting requires quite a bit of sleuthing. If you have a genuine interest in art, you will find this stimulating and fascinating, adding to the pleasure of art collecting.

Introduction to the US Mint Error Coin

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

By Brad Hall A facet of coin collecting that is often times over looked is the US mint error coin. While for many years the error coin market was incredibly small, these days it is hotter than ever and more people are flocking to this exciting hobby. Of course there is much that goes into such a hobby and there is also a fair amount of research that one should do in order to enjoy the US mint error coin to its fullest. To define what a US mint error coin is can be somewhat complicated. The short answer would be a coin that was incorrectly minted or struck while inside the US mint facility. There is much more that actually goes into the definition but that is a good starting point for the new collector. What matters most is that this is a great place to get away from the common hum-drum of normal coin collecting and reach new heights as far as rarity is concerned. To be honest there have been US mint error coins since the inception of the mint but there has not been a market or a desire to collect them since that time. In the early days, error coins carried no value and therefore were disposed of or returned to the mint for replacing. But there were some people that saw the potential for the error coin and took hold of these rarities to take advantage of what was surely to come. For some people, collecting error coins is a matter of getting what others can not. Unlike standard coin collecting, there is a good chance that you may own a one of a kind coin when you consider the error coins that are produced. This is very hard to accomplish when it comes to the standard version of coin collecting as there are thought to be many examples of nearly every coin known to the world. All in all you should know that US mint error coin collecting is one of the fastest growing hobbies on the market today. With the release of the new designs there is sure some fabulous errors to be coming out of the mint and you do not want to miss them. Error coins are some of the most valuable coins in the world today and most often surpass the standard coin many times over in value and rarity. Brad Hall is the editor of http://us-mint-coins.blogspot.com the number one resource for US mint error coin information anywhere on the web.
