There was also a time when the thought of losing weight didn't even occur in our society,
people ate what mom cooked for dinner and they went to work. The difference between that society and today's society is that work was not behind a computer screen, but on their feet in the fields or on a warehouse floor. People worked physically because that was the only way to work, in fact, that's why it was called work! It was often during this time that people could eat anything they wanted because they were burning much more calories than they consumed.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

3. INTRODUCTION
There was also a time when the thought of losing weight didn't even occur in our society,
people ate what mom cooked for dinner and they went to work. The difference in that society
and today's society is that work was not behind a computer screen, but on their feet in the
fields or on a warehouse floor. People worked physically because that was the only way to
work, in fact, that's why it was called work! It was often during this time that people could eat
anything they wanted because they were burning much more calories than what they
consumed.
But, like all good things, that too has passed and the technology of today's world has left us in
one condition – an overweight one. Our life styles have changed so drastically and our
comforts have increased tenfold. As they say, every rose has its thorn and for our society our
desire to have comfortable lives and to work less has begun to show around the waistline.
The bad thing about all of this is the more weight you gain, the more dangerous it becomes.
Extra weight spells illness, whether it is in the form of diabetes or a heart condition, it's bound
to show up if you don't do something about it. You have to be proactive in weight gain and you
have to work it off until it gets to a point where you no longer have control. It's not necessarily
about being toned and sculpted, but at a weight that is not life threatening. You can work on
the abs later, right now you just need to shed some extra body fat. As society realizes what is
happening and that we are overweight as a whole, people are trying to play catch up and work
from behind. They are trying to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle.
This eBook is your guide to losing that first ten pounds that we all struggle with. It's amazing
what little changes in your life can add up to you losing ten pounds and they all revolve around
eating right and getting your body moving.
4. CHAPTER 1
WEIGHT LOSS BEGINNING WITH WHAT YOU DRINK
First and foremost, people don't realize that what they drink is the first step in losing that first
10 pounds. In fact, most people don't know that when they feel hungry, they may actually be
dehydrated and they are really thirsty, not hungry. Water is remarkable as well. Over 66% of
your body weight is nothing but water. This is also why water plays an important role in weight
control. So TIP #1 is:
Drink plenty of water. It is recommended that you drink 8 glasses per day, but that may take
you some time to work up to. Your body needs a whole lot of water. Water doesn't just flush
all the toxins out of your body, but it makes you feel better and healthier. When you drink a lot
of water you just begin to feel fit and this is the motivation you need to lose weight.
The best thing about water is you can drink as much as you want because it has no calories at
all. When you're drinking a lot of water, you eat less as well because you won't feel as though
you are starving to death. Remember, if you feel hungry, try drinking a glass of water first and
you'll realize you were probably just dehydrated and not hungry at all.
The whole 8 glasses a day rule is really something you should strive for. The best way to do this
and to measure your water intake is to buy a jug from the drug store or grocery store that is
designed to hold exactly 8 glasses of water. These are great weight loss tools because you can
fill them up, freeze them and as it melts throughout the day you have fresh and cold water. Or,
if you don't mind your water room temperature you can drink it that way as well. All that
matters is that you're getting in the water your body needs.
TIP #2: Start off your day with a fresh, clean glass of water. As soon as you get up in the
morning, drink one down. This will help your body to get going because it won't be fighting
5. through dehydration. Also, after you drink a glass of water you won't need to eat such a large
breakfast. A glass of water wakes up all the digestive juices in your body and gets it well
lubricated. You can always have your morning coffee or tea, but be sure to have a glass of
water afterwards. Caffeine dehydrates you and you want to ward off dehydration.
TIP #3: Drink a glass of water before you sit down to eat. Water will naturally make you feel
fuller so you don't have to eat as much food.
TIP #4: Have a glass of water while you eat as well. Take a drink after each bite and you will
feel full more quickly so you can leave the table feeling satisfied without feeling bloated.
Drinking water while you eat will also help your food to settle more quickly, which also helps
you to feel full faster.
TIP #5: Do your best to stay away from soda. All sodas are sweetened with lots of sugar. The
more you can cut out of your diet the better. Also, diet soda is still soda. It may not have as
much sugar, but it has other chemicals and components that are not good for your body either.
If you drink a soda, counteract it with a glass of water. Remember, caffeine dehydrates you as
well. Decaffeinated sodas still have caffeine in small amounts as well and just as much sugar, so
they are not much healthier either.
TIP #6: Fruit juice isn't as healthy as most people think either. Juice actually has a lot of sugar
in it as well. If you are craving a glass of juice, drink fresh fruit juice instead of juice that has
artificial flavors and coloring. It is even better if you can make your own fruit juice. Just be sure
not to add too much sugar which adds to the calories. Instead of drink fruit juice, eat more fruit.
Fruit provides your body with much needed fiber as well as vitamins.
6. TIP #7: Go easy on the tea and coffee. They are pretty much harmless if you don't add a lot of
cream and sugar to them. It is the cream and sugar that becomes fattening. Think of it this
way, when you have a cup of coffee or tea with cream and two cubes of sugar, you are
essentially eating a piece of chocolate cake every time. Now think of how many pieces of cake
you are eating when you have a Venti Starbucks Latte – yikes.
TIP #8: If you must have your tea and coffee, try to drink it black. Black tea or coffee actually
has health benefits to it as long as you counteract the caffeine in your body with a nice big glass
of water. Caffeine is also not good for you because it affects functions in your body, like your
metabolism.
Another type of tea that you can drink freely is green tea. Green tea has been used as a
medicine in China for over 4,000 years. It aids the digestive system and can help ease an overly
full stomach and it has been linked to a reduction in cancer risk.
TIP #9: If you can say no to alcohol, then that is best. Alcohol beverages are not exactly good
for you, although a glass of red wine does have heart benefits, most are just fattening. Beer is
especially fattening. Cocktails are fattening depending on what they are made of. For instance,
whiskey and Coke. The whiskey may not be fattening, but the Coke definitely is. Plus, after a
few drinks most people get the munchies and when you're feeling a little inebriated and hungry
you won't be able to make rational decisions regarding your diet and it's usually late at night,
just before you pass out from a night of drinking, that you overeat. The overall combination is
just not a good one.
7. TIP #10: If you must have alcohol, try dry wine. Dry wine is better than your sweet wines,
because sweet wines have more sugar! Dry wines have sugar, but most of it has been
fermented away into alcohol and from a weight gaining perspective, dry is better.
TIP #11: Another word on coffee, that is not necessarily bad, but more interesting than
anything. Some people have reported that when they drank black coffee before exercising,
they lost more weight. There's no scientific proof to back this, but nutritionists believe it may
be caused by the body being forced to depend on fat for fuel. Hey, it's worth trying if you can
stand black coffee. Just remember to drink plenty of water during your exercise!
TIP #12: Avoid drinking excessive amounts of coffee, as it desensitizes your body to the natural
fat burning effects that caffeine has. One or two cups (if the day's really slow to get started)
max.

8. CHAPTER 2
EATING WELL AND LOSING THE POUNDS
Okay, when most people think about losing weight and eating, they think about dieting. Well,
unfortunately, all of the fad diets out there tend to cause people to gain weight. Why?
Because they starve them to death and the person eventually breaks down and eats everything
in sight because they are so darn hungry. They also deprive them of the foods that they love.
This is not a way to lose weight, nor is it a way to live. You only cause yourself stress, which
actually causes you to gain weight!
So, in eating right there a few tips that you can follow each and every day and they're not going
to deprive you of the foods that you love, but treat those foods as luxury items so you enjoy
them that much more.
TIP #13: Eat fresh fruit and vegetables that have high water content. These are foods like
tomatoes, watermelons, cantaloupe, kiwi, grapes – you get the idea. All of those fresh and
flavorful juicy fruits and veggies are good for you. These items contain about 90 to 95% water,
so you can eat a lot of these and they will fill you up without adding on the pounds.
TIP #14: Eat fresh fruit instead of processed fruit. Anything that is processed as more sugar.
Processed and canned fruits also do not have as much fiber as fresh fruits.
TIP #15: Increase your fiber intake as much as you can. This usually means eating more fruits
and veggies.
9. TIP #16: Veggies are your friends when it comes to shedding pounds. There are tons of
options here and you may even want to try some you haven't had in the past. The leafy green
varieties are the best and you always want to work in a salad when you can. Salads are packed
with nutrients as long as you don't pour too much dressing on and load them with too much
cheese. The leafy greens also have a lot of natural water.
TIP #17: Be intelligent about what you eat. Don't eat just to eat. Animals eat on instinct;
people eat when they know their body really needs it. Don't be an impulse eater.
TIP #18: Watch everything you consume from the food itself to what you top it with.
Garnishments and condiments can sabotage a healthy meal because they are typically high in
fat.
TIP #19: Get a handle on the sweet tooth. This doesn't mean you can't have your sweets; just
don't eat them as a meal. Always remember that these sweets end up adding to an area that
you don't want them to add to. Don't deprive yourself either though, because then you'll eat
twice as many as you should.
TIP #20: Set meal times and stick to them. Try to have your meals at specific times and eat
them at that time. An eating pattern will help you to control what you eat and when you eat it.
Also, it really is better to have 5 small meals a day rather than just one or two huge meals. Just
eating once a day makes your body feel as though it is starving, which packs on fat instead of
using it as fuel. Also, don't wait until your starving to eat. This only makes you overeat until
you're stuffed.
10. TIP #21: Eat only when you are hungry. Be sure to drink a glass of water first to determine if
you really are hungry or if you are really thirsty. Many people have the tendency to eat when
they see food. It doesn't mean they are hungry; they just want to eat it. Don't eat anything
you're offered unless you really are hungry. If you feel you must eat it out of being polite, just
nibble, don't have a meal.
TIP #22: Try not to snack between meals, but if you must have a snack make sure it is a healthy
one. If you travel a lot try to find healthy snacks and not junk food.
TIP #23: Veggies make great snacks. They can get you through the hunger pangs if you are
having them. Carrots are great because they satisfy hunger and they are packed with nutrients.
TIP #24: Counting calories is a good idea for those must have food items. If it is a packaged
food item, then it will have the calories on the packaging. Be sure to pay attention to serving
sizes in terms of calories as well. An Otis Spunkmeyer muffin is intended to be two servings, so
you have to double the calories listed. This is where food producers get tricky and you can't fall
in their trap.
TIP #25: Work off the extra calories by the end of the week. If you feel you have splurged too
much this week, be sure to get to the gym or go walking a little longer to work off those extra
calories you have consumed.
TIP #26: Stay away from all things fried. If it is breaded, it is better that it is baked. Fried
foods are immersed in fat and oil. Even after the excess has oil has been drained away, there is
still oil absorbed into the food item itself.
11. TIP #27: Don't skip meals. You should have, at the very least, three meals a day, but preferably
five small meals. This will keep you from getting hungry during the day and overeating out of
starvation.
TIP #28: Just like fruits, fresh vegetables are better than those that are canned. It is even
better if you can eat your veggies raw. When you cook them, you cook away the nutrients. If
you must cook them, try to boil them to the point that there is still some crispness to them.
Also, don't soak them in butter. If you can buy organic and pesticide free veggies, that is even
better.
TIP #29: Don't eat more than one egg per day. It is best if you can reduce your egg intake to
three a week.
TIP #30: Chocolates should be treated as luxury items. Buy the good stuff and only eat them
every once in awhile. If you really savor each morsel, you'll experience that much more joy in
eating them and they will taste even better.
TIP #31: Eat foods from all of the food groups each day. This is a great way to ensure you are
getting all the nutrients your body needs and it helps to ward off any diet deficiencies. Also,
don't eat the same foods all the time. Experiment so that you don't get bored with same old
diet.
12. TIP #32: Try to eat breakfast within an hour of waking up. This is the best way to give your
body the jump start it needs. Don't wait until you are really hungry. Breakfast is important, but
you don't need to stuff yourself. The idea is that you're breaking the fast from not easting all
night.
TIP #33: Your diet should include all aspects of the food groups including carbohydrates. In
fact, your diet needs to be about 50-55% carbs. Carbs are a great source of energy. Those diets
that prohibit carbohydrates are actually harming you and only making you crave them that
much more. Your diet should cause you to be deficient in anything.
TIP #34: Proteins should make up only 25-30% of your diet. Far too much emphasis is put on
meat as the main part of your meal. In actuality, it should be considered more of a side dish
rather than the main course.
TIP #35: Fats should make up 15-20% of your meal. This is really all the fat your body needs. A
lot of this is going to be in your diet in the form of cream, sugar and the like.
TIP #36: Eat more white meat than red meat. White meat includes chicken, fish and some
other fowl. Red meat includes beef and pork.
TIP #37: Try to go as vegetarian as you can. This really is a healthier lifestyle, even if you can't
cut meat out completely. The more fruits and veggies you can eat the better. The more meat
you cut out, the more fat you can cut out of your diet as well. However, protein is important,
so be certain that your option allows you to maintain good protein levels.
13. TIP #38: White bread is good, but high fiber multigrain breads are much better. These breads
are another way to add more fiber to your diet and they also have a good protein level.
TIP #39: Pork does not assist in weight loss in any way. The less pork you eat, the better off you
will be when trying to lose weight. Pork has a high fat content and includes food items such as
bacon, ham and sausage.
TIP #40: Limit your sugar intake as much as possible. If you must have sweetener in your
coffee and tea, try to find an artificial sweetener that you don't mind the taste of. However,
these things are not all that healthy either and should be limited as well.
TIP #41: Try grazing five to six times a day. These are those small meals we discussed earlier.
Some people lose weight better when they never feel hungry and grazing on healthy food items
can do this for you. Plus, it keeps your metabolism working, which will burn fat naturally.
TIP #42: Don't worry about cheating, but don't cheat for a meal. Eat sweets and your favorite
cheat food for the flavor only. If you want dessert after dinner, share one with the whole
family. You'll get the flavor, but not the pounds.
TIP #43: Watch your fat intake. Each fat gram is 9 calories. If you know your total calories
then you can figure the amount of fat in those items.
14. TIP #44: Take it easy on the salt and try to cut what you use in half. Salt is one of the main
causes of obesity.
CHAPTER 3
LOSE WEIGHT BY CHANGING HOW YOU COOK
Here are a few tips that will help you to lose those first ten pounds by simply changing how you
prepare your food. How food is cooked has just as much to do with how healthy it is or is not.
TIP #45: Instead of frying in oil or fat, try baking those items instead. Baking does not require
all the fat and oil that frying requires and your food is not soaking in those substances while it
cooks.
TIP #46: Use non-stick frying pan spray so you don't use oil. Also, pans that are non-stick don't
require as much, if any oil.
TIP #47: Boil vegetables instead of cooking them. You can also steam them, as this is probably
the healthiest way to eat foods like cabbages, cauliflower, broccoli and carrots.
TIP #48: Be leery of no fat and low fat food items. There are many of these food items on the
market, but they are not exactly healthy. Many of these food items use some sort of chemical
or carbohydrate to sweeten them so that they taste better. However, the body turns these
chemicals and carbohydrates into sugar in the body, which means they are still getting turned
into fat.
15. TIP #49: Don't fall victim to crash diets. These are bad for you and do more harm than good in
the long run. The short term results are typically that you will lose a few pounds, but once you
give them up then everything comes back and your weight is worse the second time around.
You cannot survive on a crash diet and you eventually get to a point where you have to give it
up.
TIP #50: Chew your food at least 8 to 12 times whether it is liquid food, sweets or ice cream.
This adds saliva to the food that digests the sugar. When food isn't eaten properly and is just
swallowed, you fill your stomach with food that isn't ready to be digested and it then does not
yield the health benefits that you need.
TIP #51: When you are cooking with oil, use a good Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It is more expensive
than vegetable oil, but the health benefits are much better and it is worth the cost. Olive oil
has been associated with a reduced risk in coronary heart disease and helps to increase the
elasticity of the arterial walls which reduces the chance for heart attack and stroke.

16. CHAPTER 4
EXERCISING TO LOSE WEIGHT
There are two things that you must do to lose weight and one of those we have already
covered pretty extensively and that is to eat right and fill your body with good, clean water.
The other thing you have to do is get your body moving. You don't have to purchase a gym
membership to get exercise. In fact, there are several things you can do on a daily basis that
will help to kick start your body into losing weight and there are several exercises you can do on
your own to lose weight.
TIP #52: When you begin working out, whether at home or in a gym, don't be discouraged if
you don't see results right away. It takes more than a week to get your body into shape and to
begin making progress. Many people make the mistake of believing that their exercising isn't
working when it just takes a little bit of time.
If you push your body too much when you first get started exercising you can end up with
injuries. Your bones, joints and ligaments are not prepared for the exertion you are putting on
them. Don't think that if you really push yourself hard for a few workouts that you'll lose
money, unfortunately the body doesn't work this way. Slow and steady wins the race when it
comes to exercising.
TIP #53: Check your weight when you start exercising, but don't use it as a guide to how much
weight you are losing. Your weight fluctuates throughout the day. If you check your weight
every day, you may only end up getting discouraged.
17. TIP #54: The best way to know if you're losing weight is by the fit of your clothes. If you start
to feel as though you're floating in your clothes then you know you're eating and exercising is
doing you some good. Another way to know if you're losing weight is if you can begin moving
where you usually buckle your belt, of course tighter is better.
TIP #55: When you periodically check your weight and the fit of your clothes, reward yourself.
Buy yourself some new running shoes or a new pair of jeans. This will help to keep you
motivated as you pursue your weight loss goals.
TIP #56: Take a day off from exercising to provide your body with a chance to rest and repair.
Your body needs a day off once a week.
TIP #57: Three days of 30 minute exercise will help you to maintain your weight, but you need
at least 4 days of 30 minute exercise to begin to lose weight and 5 days a week is even better.
TIP #58: Collect information on exercise and easy things you can do from your own home.
There is tons of extensive research available on exercise and you can choose what will assist
you the most to meet your weight loss goals. Browse the Internet or pick up some books on
health and exercise from your local bookstore or library to learn more and how to burn off the
desired number of calories you are trying to burn each week.
TIP #59: Try to find an exercise buddy. This should be someone who is as committed to
exercising and losing weight as you are. One of the advantages of finding a committed partner
is that you have someone to keep feeling responsible to them. The knowledge that someone is
18. waiting on you makes it easier for you to get out of bed and go exercise with them. You
wouldn't want to stand up your exercise buddy would you?
TIP #60: When your body tells you it has had enough, take a break. When you have worked
out for a considerable amount of time, you will start receiving signals from your body. This is
particularly important when you are just getting started in your exercise routine.
TIP #61: If you decide to increase the length of your workouts, do so gradually. The same is
true for the intensity of your workouts.
TIP #62: Select an exercise routine that suits your lifestyle. Everybody has a different lifestyle
and a different profession. There is no set time that you should or should not workout. If you
like to workout late before you go to bed because it is relaxing to you then do it. If you like to
workout early in the morning because it helps you wake up then that's great too. Some people
like to workout on their lunch break to take a break from the stress of their job or because that
is the only time they have available.
TIP #63: Don't stand around, walk around. If you can walk around then do it. People who are
pacers are actually doing themselves a lot of good because they are constantly moving. Pacing
also helps you think.
TIP #64: Don't sit if you can stand. If you can stand comfortably, you will burn more calories
doing so than if you were to sit.
19. TIP #65: Don't lie down if you can sit. Same concept as the two above.
TIP #66: The couch and the television are anti-weight loss. If you are inclined to become a
couch potato, don't sit on it. In fact, if you have to, put a not so comfortable chair in front of
the television so you won't spend so much time in front of it. The same is true for the computer
if you're a computer junkie. Some people have a more comfortable chair in front of their
computer than they do in front of their television. (This is, of course, if you don't work from
home and need to work hours at a time in front of your computer because your chair is very
important then.)
TIP #67: If you have a job where you sit the whole time, stand up and stretch every half hour
or so. Most of today's jobs are in front of a computer and require you to sit. If you have a job
like this make it a point to move every so often.
TIP #68: Walk around while you're on the telephone. You'll get a good workout if it is a long
conversation.
TIP #69: Use the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. These are great conveniences, but
they make us very lazy. Also, it may be quicker to take the stairs than to wait on an elevator to
open.
TIP #70: Quit smoking. Smoking does not contribute to your weight exactly, but it does lead to
erratic eating behaviors and increases caffeine dependence.
20. TIP #71: 10 minutes of cardio a day is good for most, you can get this by other methods than
running.
TIP #72: If you can't run for a physical reason, then try 15 minutes of brisk walking to keep fit.
TIP #73: You can walk anywhere if you have time. If work or the grocery store is not far away,
consider walking there or riding a bike. It may take you longer, but you're getting your workout
in at the same time.
TIP #74: Hide the remote control from yourself. Remote controls are also evil when it comes
to losing weight. If you didn't have a remote, you may not even turn on the television, which
means you might find more active things to do. Get up and change the channel if you don't
have a remote or go for a walk instead of watching TV.
TIP #75: Do your own fetching. If you need something from the kitchen, the TV channel
changed, the mail or newspaper from the driveway, walk and get it yourself. Adding a little
walking to your day will do wonders for you.
TIP #76: Walk along or climb the escalator with it or just take the stairs.
TIP #77: Walk around during commercial breaks or do simple exercises like crunches or
bending over and touching your toes. Do anything to get your body moving more and to keep
your blood pumping.
21. TIP #78: Turn on some music and dance. Again, the more you get moving the better you will
feel and the more weight you will lose.
TIP #79: If you take public transportation, get off a block before your stop and walk the
remainder of the way. This is a good way to squeeze in a walk before and after work or on the
way to another destination.
TIP #80: Do pelvic gyrations to get your midsection in shape. Of course, you wouldn't do these
with anybody around, but they are a good step in getting your body prepared for more serious
stomach crunches. It is also good on the back muscles and keeps you loose instead of tight.
TIP #81: Suck in your stomach when you walk. Walk properly, but do your best to keep that
stomach tucked in. You will soon begin to feel those muscles tightening.
TIP #82: Do breathing exercises to tone your midsection. It is amazing how breathing properly
and with your entire diaphragm can actually help to tighten your abdominal muscles. Most
people breathe way too shallow as it is and oxygen is good for the brain.
TIP #83: Experiment with yoga. Yoga is a great way to lose weight and reduce your stress
levels. Yoga teaches you how to control your muscles and gain more control of your individual
muscles groups.
22. TIP #84: Lift weights. Strength training burns more fat than people give it credit. When you
work on building muscle, they begin to burn fat to fuel muscles growth. Do be aware that when
you gain muscle, your scale may not be an accurate tool in determining weight loss because
muscle weighs more than fat.
TIP #85: Massage your partner. You can exert yourself a little bit and at the same time you will
be able to complement them on the weight they have lost if they have been working out with
you.
TIP #86: Take the stairs two at a time instead of one at a time. This causes you to have to exert
yourself more and increases your heart rate.
TIP #87: Take your dog on a walk. Chances are that if you're not getting enough exercise,
neither is your pet. Or, let your dog take you on a walk. For once in his life, let him lead you
where he wants to go and as fast as he wants to get there. It could be a good workout for the
both of you.
TIP #88: Join a dancing class. This could be ballroom dancing where you learn dances like the
tango, salsa or fox trot. These dances are fast paced and will get you moving. Even slow
ballroom dancing is a lot of exercise and will definitely tone your legs. Or, you can take an
aerobic dance class. How many dancers do you know that are overweight?
TIP #89: Lean against the wall so that your face is close and then use your hands to push your
body away. Do this three or four times to stretch.
23. TIP #90: Swim whenever you can. Swimming is a great way to get your cardio exercise and it's
low to no impact on your joints, which is great for people who have osteoporosis or joint
problems.
TIP #91: Try playing tennis or basketball. Playing games are a great way to get into shape. It's
also more fun to workout with someone else in a competitive atmosphere. You will be more
driven to push yourself and you'll burn more calories, just don't overdo it.
TIP #92: Always start your workout with a warm up of about 5-10 minutes and end with a cool
down of 5-10 minutes. Your body needs to reach a certain heart rate level before it will
respond well to the rest of the workout.
TIP #93: Don't carry your wireless phone or cell phone with you. If it rings, go walk for it.
There are so many conveniences in life and we always have everything we need at our
fingertips, but this is obviously bad for the waistline.
TIP #94: If you're standing around, stretch your legs a bit by standing up on your toes and then
gradually drop to your heals. You can also flex your buttock muscles as well, but maybe when
nobody else is looking.
TIP #95: Before going to bed, undress and stare at yourself in front of the mirror. Take note of
what areas you need to improve on and what areas are your best assets. Taking a self-
inventory can keep you motivated in your workout endeavors. Also, don't forget to
24. complement yourself on any new muscle tone you may have or other improvements you've
made.
TIP #96: Don't slouch in your chair. Try to sit up straight and erect at all times. Slouching is
bad for your back and gives you a flabby figure. Make it a point to always sit and stand with
good posture.
TIP #97: Most people would like to target their stomachs and get rid of that area all together.
Unfortunately, we can't spot reduce. But, one thing you can do is a breathing exercise to help
tighten those stomach muscles.
Breathe in air as strong as you can and tuck your stomach at the same time as much as you can.
Hold it for a few seconds and then slowly let it out. Don't let it out so fast that your belly flops
out. This is not good. Try to breathe like this whenever you think about it, about 50-60 times a
day is ideal. This will help you to lose at least an inch within 20 days or so.
TIP #98: Use a chart, such as the one below to assist you in your weight loss endeavors. This
chart shows you how many calories each of these common exercises burn, based on 20
minutes.

*Your results will depend on how much you currently weigh as well. If you're looking for an
accurate calculation based on your body weight and details of the exercise you are performing
go to iVillage.com at http://dftools.ivillage.com/healthtools/calc_cb.cfm.
From this chart you can see that walking is a great way to get exercise. If you're too busy to do
any of the other exercises, a good walk is a good start.
26. TIP #99: Don't discourage yourself from exercising and eating right by wearing clothes that
don't fit. If you're a medium, wear a medium. Wearing the wrong types of clothes can make
you appear larger than you really are. This includes workout wear as well. If you wear clothes
that fit now, you get to go shopping later for smaller clothes and you can sell your slightly worn
larger clothes in a consignment shop or you can take them to Goodwill to be given to someone
who can use them.

27. CHAPTER 5
GETTING STARTED
Now that you understand how to get started, here's a little more information on losing weight
and keeping it off and it all begins with what you eat.
Fat and weight loss is such an important aspect in our life today because we are fatter now than
we have ever been. The word "weight loss programs" will catch the attention of anybody
listening in on a conversation or watching television. In fact, that's one of the most popular
keywords searched on the Internet today.
The main reason that we are so overweight is because of our relationship with food. In our
society, we tend to concentrate on quantity. We simply want as much as we can get instead of
the best food that we can get. Quantity always beats out quality, when it should be exactly the
opposite of that.
Once you've decided to lose weight, it can be difficult to determine where exactly you should
get started. If you have a strong resolve to get going and to lose weight, it is possible. You just
have to figure out how to say "no."
Everybody is different. You're not going to find another person who has the same metabolism
as you or who burns fat the same way as you. You may weigh exactly the same as a person
next to you, but if you both were to start an exercise and diet program you both might not have
the same results two weeks or even a month later, even if you did everything the same exact
way each day. In saying this, it's important to realize that not everybody utilizes food in the
same way either. What may cause one person to gain a pound may not do the same to
another. The same is true in losing weight. If you're a married woman and you and your
husband are working out together and let's say he gives up soda and loses five pounds from
stopping his intake of soda and you don't lose one pound, that shows you that you and your
28. husband are not necessarily going to see the same results, even if you're eating and exercising
in the exact same way.
The bottom line is that today's society has to work a lot harder than societies of the past. Sixty
years ago women and men were thin because they had to work. Manual labor was a
requirement or you wouldn't be able to eat. You had to go gather eggs from the hen house if
you want eggs, you had to go milk the cows for fresh milk and you had to plow the fields to
grow your vegetables. If you wanted beef, well you had to know a little something about
fattening up a calf and getting it butchered. That's the way life was back then and technology
has taken away all of this manual work. So, instead we have to watch what we eat and we have
to go make ourselves exercise. If we don't we don't have a reason to move half the time.
It is very important to understand that you weight loss goals are very dependent on how much
you are willing to work at it. It is the one thing in life that you have to do manual labor to
achieve if you want to see results.
Generally, people do not need to worry about weight loss until their twenties, but with the fast
food lifestyle that we live today this is not necessarily the case anymore. Many of our children
are obese because they eat too much fast food and processed foods. When you're grocery
shopping for yourself and your family read the ingredients of what you are eating. If you can't
pronounce it, don't eat it. Processed foods cause us to have cravings and cravings cause us to
gain weight. This is particularly important to understand if you are ever going to be effective at
losing weight and keeping it off.
Watching your diet alone is not going to make you lose weight though. The proper diet has to
be paired with the proper amount of exercise as well. The solution is an exercise regiment that
will give your body the exercise it needs to burn fat and calories efficiently. If you don't move,
it's like you're in hibernation and your body just packs on the pounds, particularly around your
waistline.
29. WORKING OUT REALLY IS GOOD FOR YOU
When you think about life in the past when your sweat was caused by hard work and the sun, it
just makes you feel good all over. The sun beating down on your shoulders and the strain on
your muscles just makes you feel stronger all over. There really is nothing better than working
out – outside.
But, most people have moved to the city. The days of working on the farm are long gone for
most, however, there are a few people who still get to have that glorious feeling of doing work
and producing something that was real and keep the pounds off while they do it. Seriously, if
you think about it, how many farm hands, cowboys and ranchers are fat? There aren't many.
Think about their lifestyles. They get up, have a cup of coffee and breakfast, go to work, come
in for lunch, go to work, come in for dinner and then go to bed early enough to get up in the
morning and do it all over again. In the meantime, they get good sun and fresh air and
consume fresh water all day long. It truly is a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, most of us work
indoors, sitting down and still eat three meals a day but have to do it so quickly you don't even
get the opportunity to taste it.
It's a fact of life that people in the city don't get much exercise, unless you live in a city where
you walk everywhere you go. This means you have to put your mind to it and work at it. You
have to fit fitness into your daily schedule or you're going to be overweight and sick. That's just
the way it is. Exercise is the best way to control obesity, it is the best way to control stress,
hypertension, cardio vascular disease, and other lifestyle related illnesses. If you can workout
outside, even better. Your body needs as much fresh air as it can get.
CONSISTENCY IS KEY
Consistency is the most important aspect of any exercise program. If you have a goal, then if
you consistently work towards that goal, you'll be able to reach it.
30. Getting started is usually easy for people. They go shopping, get some workout clothes, buy
some running shoes and maybe a gym membership. Then, they go and workout pretty steadily
for a week or two.
But, as they go, they find it harder to keep up their routine. Their lives become more
demanding and they begin to go to the gym less and less. In other words, their gym
membership goes to waste and they just stop going.
Many people choose to workout in the evenings, but for some this routine is even harder to
keep going. If you are not completely exhausted when you get off from work, then this is a
good time to go. But, if you cannot then you may need to find a way to get there in the
morning. It will help you to get woke up and you'll be able to maintain your consistency.
There is a misconception that exercise makes you tired, but that's not necessarily the case. It
may do this to you the first few times, but as you get fit you will find you have more energy.
Couple exercise with adequate sleep, you shouldn't have any problem getting up in the
morning and getting going. Plus, you'll be energized all day long, which will help you to make it
through your workday much easier.
Even if you don't have a gym membership, chances are that there is a sidewalk outside your
house and some people may even have access to a pool. Get up a half hour earlier, throw on
the sneakers and get to walking, running, jogging or whatever your exercise of choice is. If you
have a four legged friend, they'll surely enjoy this time with you as well.
