Safe and Effective Fat Loss Program
Some obese people develop a negative attitude about their weight that can lead to serious depression. They find themselves becoming reclusive and shun any kind of social contact developing a totally defeatist outlook. “I’m overweight. I intend not to get out of the house anymore. I don’t want to get bullied outside. I already lost my hopes! I’m so depressed!”
What’s your initial reaction about this? Does it bother you? For the past five years, an alarm over increasing cases of obesity is constantly raised by the WHO (World Health Organization).
Indeed, excess body fat has been categorized as a major risk factor over heart disease and cancer. Incidence of obesity is doubling every five years. Moreover, it was also estimated that over twenty percent of children are already obese.
Why is this? It is normally due to poor physical activity alongside overindulgence in food, especially those that are rich in fat, sugar and carbohydrates. Furthermore, it may also be linked to vices like too much television viewing and too much video games as well as other poor nutritional habits.
Sadly, most of these people will not give up these kinds of lifestyle. Instead, they expect an instant answer for fat loss. However, none of those products on the market are healthy. Without even knowing, these products may bring about many detrimental side effects.
Losing Fat with Ephedra
Ephedra is a constituent of some herbal supplements that are supposed and assumed to work out fats. Particularly, it is defined as “a perennial native to central Asia.”
It is a stimulant that contains herbal forms of ephedrine. Further, ephedrine is a kind of drug regulated by the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) mostly found in over-the-counter asthma medicines. It is sold under the name Ma Huang. Ephedra and ephedrine are usually sold in health food stores in America. It is also extensively used as an energy booster, as it helps enhance athletic performance. In addition, it is widely used for weight loss.
Harmful Effects of Ephedra
Ever since 1994 FDA had already obtained above eight hundred reports regarding the harmful side effects of products containing ephedrine. Reports include: insomnia, nervous breakdown, tremors, heart attacks, strokes and a number of deaths. This was so because of the fact that ephedrine is an amphetamine-like compound. This compound is likely to have lethal stimulant effects on the central nervous system. In response to this very disturbing problem, the agency on Food and Drugs Administration proposed to strictly prohibit marketing of dietary supplements that contains about eight milligrams or more of ephedrine alkaloids per serving.
In spite of this, the market on weight loss products has developed several fat loss pills, herbal supplements, energy bars and powders, of which do not contain ephedra or thus commonly known as “ephedra free fat loss.”
Fat loss that is Ephedra Free
Everybody wants to burn fat without experiencing any side effects. Most people avoid the use of Ephedra, fearful of a heart condition or other adverse medical situation. Some just don't like it because it makes them feel too jittery (they have increased palpitations
Before, fat burners that were free from ephedra didn't work that well. Fortunately, as technology intensifies, more researchers have developed recent products which are proven to be very helpful for the quick loss of fat. The fundamental principle behind this innovation is that the metabolism is being raised even while you’re at rest.
Other such innovations readily available are carb blockers and fat blockers. Carb and fat blockers do just the same as the fat burners. They do increase weight loss without ephedra components. All they do is block the absorption of some carbohydrates like fat blockers block extra fats from being absorbed by the body.
Furthermore, there is still no replacement for a healthy diet and a good workout. Keep in mind that prevention is better than cure. Before your body bloats into a large load of fat, always remember that being overweight is not healthy. Let’s work and eliminate those extra fats early before it’s too late. Let us not rely on pills.

Total body isolation - lol
Like doing breather squats I often dread doing deadlifts. This has to be in the top five of most difficult to get psyched up for workouts, I can spend just as long getting psyched up to do the workout as the workout lasts. But so far so good. I think next time I'm gonna spend more time getting warmed up. I went into this workout a little cold and unmotivated, but it went as well as expected. Here's what I did.
Deadlifts.
5 sets of 10 reps.
Bench squats
3 sets of as many reps as you can do safely.
I stepped on the scale at the Y on Friday the 3, I rolled in at around 255 lbs. I'm not sure the scale is right or not. 255 lbs.... I've gained 10 lbs and lost an inch on my waist I'll have to verify this on another scale I think. I'm shooting for 200 to 215 at <7% class="zemanta-related">![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_b.png?x-id=cd1b5fef-d23d-4f15-9448-d4dce51d78b4)

So I've been pondering writing up an article on the most effective low carb diet, but there is a great deal of opinion out there as to which is the most effective dieting approach.
In a nut shell i think it always comes down to the basics.
The first thing a person would need to do is find the diet that works for them or more importantly find a diet that they can work with.
The second part would be to always burn more calories then you eat, as odd as this sounds to write it and read it, this is always the underlying them of most weight loss articles that I read and review.
The next thing would be to set reasonable goals and focus on achieving them, even if that means spending time at the gym or going for a walk in the evening after eating or trashing all the bad foods in the house.
Be consistant and persistant, know good fats from bad fats and try to eat as clean as possible.
Of course there is a great deal more to dieting then just this. You still have to live and function in the everyday world, but I think just following simple rules or guidelines always helps keep it simple.
As far as the best low carb diet..... Well the guys over at Fitnessspotlight.com beat me to it. Check out their article here.
Enjoy.
