Many people surrender to strict diet plans, but fail over the long haul on their way to a dream figure. Her/his life moves between zero diet and eating orgies. Numerous wonder diets promise to be successful in the short and long-term effect, but the opposite is true: after several diets to lose weight they end up heavier than before – thanks to yo-yo effect!

Guilty of the Diet Dilemma are especially the many half-truths that are circulating about the topic. Almost everyone has a “good” tip at hand, how to get rid of the annoying extra pound. Fat makes you fat and make light products slim – we clean up with the biggest diet lies.

Q: Who is active and performs regular sport activities can eat pretty much everything.
A: Partially true. Anyone who is physically active and performs a lot of sports can eat more. But athletes should not indulge without restraint, if they want to stay fit, because the rule still states: who eats more than the body burns, increases in weight.
Q: Light, fat free products keep you slim.
A: Light products, while containing less fat, generally generally contain more sugar. Because fat is a flavor, many foods taste just boring. In addition, many people tend to eat an extra slice of light cheese, because it seems ok.
Q: Five meals a day are better than just three.

A: Recommendations on this subject are contradictory. Some experts advise to only three meals a day, since after every meal the body distributes insulin, and high insulin levels block the breakdown of fat. Other Guides in turn recommended five meals because the blood sugar level will never completely drop and thus inevitable hunger pangs. But the reality is: She/he who eats in addition to three normal-sized meals, two small ones should not be surprised if the weight loss turns into weight gain.
Q: Eating late makes fat.
A: Only partially true. Weight gain is not determined by the times of the day, but from the energy balance. Basically, it is important how many calories you consume throughout the day. It’ just that we enjoy a good meal in the evening, after a busy day.
Q: Eat less during summer time.
A: Our body is not able to take advantage of the summer heat as a form of energy. On the contrary, to maintain a constant body temperature, he actually needs energy. Sweating also requires strength.
Q: Don’t eat meat during a diet.
A: If one wants to lose weight or maintain their weight, there is nothing against meat. Even red meat contains important nutrients such as iron or zinc because of its protein content and is good for the muscles. Therefore, for example, a steak is a perfect diet food. Vegetarians do not necessarily live leaner: Meatless meals can contain fried stuff, cheese, oil, dough and nuts, so not everything is slim food.

Getting Rock Hard Abs

A small change to your regular workout routine that will melt your body fat, even long after your workout while laying in your couch at home watching Desperate Housewives.

High Intensity Interval Training is a workout method that literally shocks your body’s system. It’s like telling it “Hey, wake up and burn some of that nasty fat!” Next time you’re on the treadmill, take a few deep breaths and pump up that speed (slowly, you still need at least 3 minutes warm up) and really force yourself to the limit. Go all the way for as long as you possibly can. 20 minutes to half hour. Then add another five of minutes. You will feel totally exhausted, empty, done….

Now your body will go through a recovery  phase that is much longer than usual, called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, by which oxygen is pumped through your system to recover from the kick ass workout you gave it and calories are burned during this process. Yes, while you’re resting!

Keep in mind, I’m talking about a real “to-the-limit” exercise, but if you’re willing to tackle it, you will loose that extra pound and much faster than doing your regular workout schedule.
