In this post we are dealing with a very popular subject among college students, weight loss. Unfortunately the problem with extra weight starts from early childhood and becomes a tough problem for teenagers and later for college students. We already provided several tips about weight loss for teens in a previous post and in this post we concentrate on what college students can do to lose weight or at least not to gain any extra pounds.
1. Exercise in the morning is more effective.
College students are among the group of people who can enjoy their mornings especially when they do not have class early in the morning. This of course implies that they wake up early and take advantage of the morning. It is a scientific fact that if you exercise in the morning as soon as you wake up (with an empty stomach) you will have better results. This is because the body will need energy and will find it from the storage (calorie and fat). If you can do it for a couple of weeks you will get used to it and appreciate how effective it is. You do not have to spend hours working out, 10-15 minutes of cardio exercises (walking, running, aerobics, cycling, etc) is enough.
2. Save calories by skipping night snacks
The first part of the weight loss equation is to exercise in the morning with an empty stomach and the second part is not to eat late at night. Arrange your program so that you take your last meal at least 3 hours before bed time, after that try not to eat or drink anything (besides water). This will give enough time to your body digest the food and store less fat to the reserves.
3. Keep full fat snacks away
If you really want to lose weight then you must be ready to make certain sacrifices. This means that you should reduce the consumption of certain snacks that you enjoy but are full of calories and fat. Examples include ice-creams, cream coffees, muffins, alcoholic cocktails and sweets. You do not have to completely avoid these but do moderate their consumption. For example you can have such snacks once per week and for the rest of the days you can replace them with more healthier and low-fat alternatives.
4. Fruits are beneficial for weight loss and performance
You already know that fruits and vegetables are important for weight loss. They are full of fiber and have limited amount of calories, fats and sugars. Fiber can keep you full for a long time and away from other unhealthy snacks. In addition fruits will enforce your memory and give you the energy required to cope with the demands of studying.
5. Do more with less
Weight loss is not only about effort but it is also about method. When trying to lose weight you should know the proper ways to approach it. Weight loss is not about not eating anything but is about eating less more frequently. So to achieve some good results forget about the classical 3 main meals and start eating fewer meals every 3-4 hours. Make sure that you start your day with a good breakfast (right after your exercise session), and then try to eat something every 3-4 hours. This will keep your stomach busy and gradually this pattern will improve your metabolism. Once you reach this stage everything else will be faster and easier.
Follow the above weight loss tips consistently and you will notice that the whole weight loss process is not that difficult after all.

Many foods are being advertized as low fat and while this may be true, they are full of calories. Check the carefully and select those who are low in fat, sugars and calories.
6. When you feel that you have the energy start exercising. At the beginning start slow and then gradually increase the intensity and pace of the exercise. Since pregnancy has an effect on your hormone levels you must consult your doctor before doing any heavy or very intense exercise routine. A great example of start up exercise routine is walking. You can start walking for 10 minutes per day and then gradually increase that to 20 minutes. You can also carry our baby with you so that you feel better and have better results.

Enrich your exercise program
Is the training you have been doing boring? Change the type of exercise, the program or the intensity. Try 20-30 minutes training with high intensity, alternating with 30-45 minutes of normal intensity. You can apply this to cycling or walking outside. Make kickboxing, then mountain biking in replacing the aerobic exercises. The combinations are endless. Do not limit yourself.
Sprint

Eat light at night

Here are two mysteries about burning fat that no one told you about. They will shut down your body’s ability to burn massive amounts of fat!
Toxic Liver Dehydration
1. Keep Your Liver clean – Supporting Your Liver Means Supporting Your Body’s Ability To Detoxify and Burn Obnoxious Stored Body Fat.
Few people know much about the liver or liver function. Yet liver disease is the fourth most common cause of death in our country after cancer, heart disease and strokes. Learning to support your body’s detoxification processes and your immune system means learning to support your liver. The liver’s processes are vital to fat burning and overall health.
The liver is often compared to a chemical laboratory, a storage plant, a warehouse, a power plant and a waste disposal plant all encompassed in one organ. It’s described that way because of its phenomenal assemblage of membrane structures, internal machinery and chemical production.
Here are some of its functions
– Creates bile, essential to the digestion and absorption of fat
– Also creates immune substances like gamma globulin
– Metabolizes fats, proteins and carbohydrates
– Manufactures blood proteins, including prothrombin and fibrinogen, the anti-coagulant heparin, albumin and globulins required for maintaining water balance and contributing to blood viscosity.
– Filters the blood to remove chemicals and bacteria
– Helps maintain electrolyte and water balance
– Breaks down and eliminates hormones
– Stores vitamins, minerals and sugars
I know this all sounds highly medical, but this is totally amazing information. I always want my people to know the how and why of fat burning to lose body fat.
Many toxins that we consume or are exposed to will not dissolve in water. These toxins, called lipid-soluble, will only dissolve in oil or oily solutions. Fatty tissue or tissues that have lipid soluble membranes, like the liver, can store lipid soluble toxins for months or years.
One of the liver’s jobs is to convert these toxins from lipid-soluble to water-soluble. Once they are water soluble, or can be dissolved by water, they can be flushed from the body, released by the kidneys or bowels. This change takes place in the liver through a complex system of enzymes.
SO you can see the importance of getting the right food plan with high fiber content and avoiding dehydration that can shut down the release and flushing of fats!!
2. Dehydration – Shuts down Fat Burning
In the past ten years of research and experience on the subject of fast fat burning and getting fit quickly, I’ve discovered that dehydration will shut down fat burning and wreak catabolic havoc on your muscle tissue. Basically that means that you lose muscle and store fat!
What are these magical agents of fat burning wizardry… Water and Fiber. Let me explain why…
I know you have heard from me that water is important for your fat burning effectiveness but even still, most people I get emails from still don’t drink enough water daily seven days per week.
Water is vital to your fat burning efforts and maintaining your lean body mass. Our bodies are about 65-70% water.
Dehydration is often misread as hunger. Your body is seeking fluids and electrolytes and you interpret it as hunger and start snacking on sugary snacks instead of fruit that your body is craving.
That is why water and water based good Glycemic fruit keeps you from snacking on unhealthy sugary foods and sugar-laden soft drinks. That is why I use the Glycemic Index in my Quick Start Energy Program.
You can drop fat fast; lose overall body weight without going hungry. Increase your energy while lowering your risk of heart disease, stroke and the new dreaded disease plaguing women, diabetes.
Fluid more important than food!
Did you know that we need water in our bodies more than we need food. The body can survive for much longer without food that without water. Water is like the oil in the engines of our cars. It is involved in almost every process the body goes through, from digestion to nutrient absorption. It also keeps your energy level up as it prevents dehydration.
Now, this is very important…dehydration will totally kill your chances of burning fat, because the body interprets this as a state of metabolic shock. It shifts its focus on getting water and stops doing other things, like burning body fat for energy. And here’s even more helpful info about the power of water.
Try and drink most if not all of your water ice cold. First of all, it typically tastes better ice cold, and every time you drink an ounce of ice cold water, your body must burn about a calorie in the process of warming the water to your current body temperature.
Now, you can use this to your advantage to burn even more calories each day. Keep your water intake to 100 ounces per day, and you’ll burn an extra 100 calories and burn more fat! How cool is that!
Also, add some lemon to your water. It has positive effects in helping cleanse your liver. Remember, if your organs, especially the kidneys and liver, are working together with high efficiency, it will be easier for your body to burn fat!
Keeping yourself hydrated will keep your kidneys operating at a peak levels and your liver will be allowed to do its job of metabolizing stored fat for energy.
Those to me are the two most important factors you want to address first when you begin your fast fat loss program this week. I believe you should just flat out attack this situation with great vigor. Don’t casually start and lose the fire.
Take your body back and you will own your future!
Start Today!

Among the top fat burning foods is also vinegar and lemon. The combination of vinegar and lemon is the best “possible” fat burner. If you combine it with a fresh green salad rich in antioxidants and add one-tablespoon of olive oil (rich in omega-3 fatty acids) then you have a full meal, which boosts the fat burning process.
Caffeine has diuretic and thermo genetic properties, greater than green tea, helping to burn fat faster. But it must be consumed in moderation and special attention should be taken because in large dose may have several side effects (tachycardia, increased pressure, headaches, etc.)
Peanut butter and weight loss: Peanut butter is also good for weight loss! Why? It is full of protein and fiber, which keeps your stomach full longer and reduces the need for fatty sweets!
Finally, the magic liquid that dissipates the fat without any effort and is free and for now – inexhaustible is Water. Water is the most important catalyst in weight loss and maintenance. The body does not function properly without enough water and cannot metabolise fat efficiently. Drinking plenty of water during the day avoids fluid retention in the body and helps the functioning of the kidneys and liver. On average, a person should drink 8 glasses of water a day. This amount varies depending on the weight of the person, levels of exercise and other environmental factors (heat, humidity, etc.)
Weight loss tips for a fast weight loss
Drink fluids
The first thing to do when you wake up in the morning is to drink plenty of water. Many times half the weight you gain in times that your weight is increasing is due to fluid retention in the body. The water will help your body to remove the extra liquids. Set a target to double the consumption of fluids. Remember that the extra fluid need not be derived from clean water. Fruit juices, milk, fresh fruit and vegetables, soups are doing the same job. Finally, pay attention to how much salt is contained in the food you consume as this affects the levels of fluid retention.
Do not follow drastic measures
The first solution that comes to your mind after a period where you eat more food than expected is to follow a diet very low in calories. Wrong. This would confuse your metabolism, leading to other problems. The best approach is to decrease gradually the amount of food you eat, focusing more on increasing protein intake. These will give a boost to your metabolism, «burning» more calories.
Exercise with weights
The training with weights at the gym is suggested in periods where you eat more than expected. Sometimes it is more effective than to spend hours on the treadmill or running. This is because it is based solely on the storage of glycogen in the muscles. If the food you eat were rich in carbohydrates such training will help you use them. If you choose on the other hand, the cardiovascular exercise (running) your organism will not burn as many calories as in training with weights, or continue to burn calories after the end of the exercise. You can read more information at 28 weight loss tips with exercise.
Avoid alcohol
Since alcohol contains not only «empty» calories, but it may also affect the proper decision making regarding food, try to avoid it for at least two days to recover fully. If you want a drink at all costs, drink only one.
How to prepare your self for a period that you may eat more than expected
Now if you intend to eat more than the usual, either because of a holiday or party, then there are some things you can do to prepare properly and to reduce the chances to get extra pounds. First, if is possible try to go to the gym prior to that, and make a fairly intense workout with weights. This will reduce glycogen in the muscles resulting in the absorption of as many calories as possible by the muscles.
This article outlines ways on how to burn fat with food and also explained what you need to do to protect your self from gaining extra weight during the holiday periods or periods that you usually eat more than expected.

There are a variety of nutrients that aid the proper functioning of the liver. Plus, these days the liver needs  all the help it can get to detoxify the amount of pollution we are bombarded with. Produce is highly treated with chemicals, if it is not grown organic. Our water is polluted with heavy metals and chemicals. The air we breathe is polluted from nuclear plants, coal plants, oil refineries, gas emission from vehicles and smoking. On top of this, food is often highly processed and lacking the original god given nutrition it should contain. So we have to be smart about our lifestyle choices to improve our health by giving the liver the nutrition it needs to keep us filtered of toxins!
Antioxidants:
Antioxidants are a group of vitamins, minerals and other food based chemicals that protect our cells from free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause cancer by mutating DNA cells, and can cause heart disease by hardening artery walls through cell damage. All organs, including the liver, can be harmed by free radicals. Antioxidants also help to detoxify pollutants. This can unburden the liver’s load greatly and help it clear the body of toxins. Antioxidant vitamins are C, E and beta carotene.
Vitamin C:

Vitamin C is one of the most beneficial antioxidants for liver health. It  provides protection from free radicals and reduces damage to liver cells from harmful chemical toxins.Great food sources include – citrus fruits, berries, kiwi, broccoli, cucumber and spinach.
Vitamin E:

Vitamin E is a fat soluble antioxidant. It protects fats from becoming rancid due to free radical attacks. The cell membranes that protect the liver are fat based. So vitamin E helps protect the cells that protect the liver! A study has also shown that vitamin E can reduce the scar tissue in liver – which can lead to cirrhosis.
Great food sources include blackberries, apples and kiwis.
Beta Carotene:

Beta carotene and other carotenoids are antioxidants that are essential for health and a strong immune system. Beta carotene is converted to vitamin A in the liver, which can help loosen up toughened and abused liver fibers and even restore them to health.
Great food sources include – blackberries, watermelon, peaches, kiwi, carrots, kale, spinach and broccoli.
Glutathione:

Glutathione is the supreme antioxidant. It is the best antioxidant at fighting free radicals and a powerful aid in detoxification. Low blood levels of this nutrient is directly linked to liver problems, toxicity, disease, and poor health. Increasing the amount of glutathione in our bodies is essentially one of the best things we can do for our livers. Glutathione will greatly unburden the liver of its toxic load. Although glutathione is made naturally in the body, its levels are low in most people due to toxic overload. However, there are foods which can help raise glutathione levels in the body. These include asparagus, spinach, and all cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage and brussel sprouts. Also, vitamin C intake helps to increase glutathione levels.
