If our grandparents and great-grandparents knew how the diet-, food- and pharmaceutical industries have a hold on us, they would surely turn in their graves. There is a pill for everything, there is a diet for everyone and every body style, even every blood type. Today we are bombarded with “shoulds” and “should not’s” and people feel guilty for eating foods in the first place. Some feel that just looking at foods makes them gain an ounce (heavens forbid). What a joke!
We are bombarded with these attitudes that program our minds and thus are consumed with information that only serves to confuse us and make us feel overwhelmed and stressed out. And then we suffer from heart disease, early strokes or get diagnosed with diseases that didn’t exist 10 or 20 years ago.
Why do we let this happen in today’s society? Why do we let “them” have such a hold on us? And why is it that no one sees that we have become slaves to the diet industry?
Our bodies are meant to be healthy vehicles for us and food was meant to be here to nourish our bodies and for us to enjoy and savor it. Somehow over the past few decades, our bodies have become our enemies that are forever imperfect and need to be molded, reshaped and even go under the knife for corrections. I dare you to regain your freedom and gratitude for your body and to stop putting it through so much torture.
Here are 4 tips that can help:
1. Stop looking for answers “out there:” No matter what you’re looking for, you already have all the answers. If you have been diagnosed with a disease, ask your Higher Self for the reasons. You manifested the disease, you allowed it to happen, ask your Higher Self why you manifested whatever it is you’re experiencing and how to heal yourself. Remember that we are never given more than we can handle, and when it seems like we are given too much, there is always a way out. Seek the answer and you will find it.
2. Meditation and breath work: I can’t stress the important of spending time alone with your Self in silence. Start your time alone by breathing with intention. Watch your breathing throughout your day and take deeps breaths throughout your day. Meditation is hard for most people because they feel they’re not doing anything. That’s exactly the point; we are human beings, not human doings. And peace and happiness come from a state of being.
3. Use your body: Your body was designed to be moved around so you can accomplish whatever you have come to accomplish. In Europe the average person walks 2 miles a day, most of which is to and from work, going grocery shopping and so on. In the US we hardly walk 100 yards a day because most people have cars and are just plain too lazy and too busy otherwise. Use your body, it’s why you have created it in the first place. If walking to and from work is too far or too inconvenient, get a gym membership. Get your body moving.
4. Learn to love all of your body: I can’t tell you how many people I have heard say that they hate a certain part on their body, or even all of it. Yet if our country’s leader would announce that he hated all of its citizens we would have immediate war. 70 billion living cells manage the functions of our bodies and yet when we tell one body part that we dislike it then we do just that: we declare war on the entire body. Instead help your 70 trillion living cells to cooperate with each other so they can work on rebuilding your body and keeping your body healthy. Start by expressing to your body how grateful you are for the things that do work and the body parts that do look great. Feel your 70 trillion living cells relax and come to peace with what their jobs are and watch a miracle take place right within your own body. Soon your body will be your greatest ally and your best friend and will give you all the energy you need so you can be empowered and about your true purpose here.

Do you believe the magazine articles, radio and television commercials, your friends, trainers and gym rats? How are you to ever make any real changes when you are not even sure what is fact or fiction? Do you do sit-ups, crunches, cardio, take diet pills, supplements, or use ab gadgets such as the ab belt or ab roller?
Free yourself from the frustrations of misinformation. Burn the belly fat and create the sexy hot abs you have always desired. You can continue to follow the infomercials and the magazine ads or you can open your mind to the truth. There is no free lunch, but there is hope.
If your like most people you are not interested in doing ab exercises to strengthen the muscles. The truth is you want hot abs to make the opposite sex drool. If this is your goal then exercises that concentrate on the abs are not the best way to attack that belly fat.
Science has proven that the key to burning fat is your metabolic rate. Whether you are looking to lose belly fat or any other fat on your body increasing your metabolic rate is the key to success. You have to get away from the exercises you typically think about when working on your ab muscles.
Multi-joint exercises are the key to belly fat loss. These full body exercises of the back, legs, and chest will release the fat burning hormones within your body. A good full body workout increases your metabolic rate enough to burn fat.
So when you go to the gym have your workout planned. Do bench presses, squats, dumbbell presses, and other exercises that concentrate on the big three areas - legs, chest and back. Leave the cell phone at home and don’t use gym time to socialize. You need to make your workouts intense. Maybe 30 seconds between sets and 2 minutes between exercises.
As always nutrition is important to lose fat. Whether it be around your belly or anywhere else. All the crazy diet plans out there will deprive you of either carbs, protein, or good fat. Don’t mess with your bodies system with the not so healthy diets. Learn to eat 6 well balanced meals throughout the day. Give your body the ingredients it needs to run properly.
