Weight Loss - Obesity, Diets and Holistic Health

Diets are defined in the traditional sense of following a specific eating plan for weight loss/obesity.

Sure, following any of the hundreds of plans that have been promoted in the last few decades may result in some weight loss, but the benefits typically don't last.

Sadly, there is no magic bullet. No, not even those prescription medications that are common these days. Sure, they may result in shedding some pounds, but I've been observing nasty side effects in people that use them, and unless lifestyle changes are made, the pounds will come back.

The average American keeps getting heavier, especially children, and the new miracle diets keep coming, and the average American keeps getting heavier, especially children, and...

I suspect you get my point.

Can Health and Weight Loss Coaching Online Work?

There are very few things that can't be done online these days: you can study, you can work, you can have fun, you can date, shop and you can socialise. So what about our health? Can we improve our health over the internet?

Certainly many people use the internet to self diagnose their health conditions, but ultimately there is still no replacement for seeing a medical professional, even if you arrive there thinking you know what is wrong with you.

So if this is the case, does it apply to online health and weight loss coaching too, where coaching professionals work with you to achieve your goals. Weight loss coaching online is on the rise as a new and dynamic way to improve your health, but can it really work? If coaching is about a relationship between two people, one guiding the other to achieve their goals, how can it work if they've never met?

If you are searching on the internet, it can sometimes seem very confusing to know where to start, and even more importantly, to know whom you can trust. The important thing, when it comes to your health is taking time for a bit of research and planning.

Diets, Exercise, Health, and Weight Loss

Square one. Stop thinking about diet, diets, dieting, on a diet, fad diet, latest diet, celebrity diet, diet pills, diet plans, diet programs... ad nauseum... literally!

A diet is simply what you eat! Your diet can consist of chocolate donuts or alfalfa sprouts, but most "Diets", with a capital "D" will not set you free. Instead, they lock you in a cage. Eat anything other than what they prescribe, and you are a failure... at least, so reads their literature.

Of course, what we eat and when we eat it can play a big part in weight loss or weight gain. Even where we eat can be a factor. Ever eat too much at Grandma's on Thanksgiving? I have. How about that cocktail party when you went wandering over to the snack trays, and drank one more drink because someone offered it to you? Okay, for me it would be sitting at the bar ordering one more beer (light, of course) because the game's not over yet. Oh yeah, pass the chips.

FORGET THE WORD "DIET"

Hula Hooping for Health and Weight Loss

There are a lot of things you can do to stay active and lose weight these days. Unfortunately, there are few exercises that are low impact on your body but still give you an effective work out. Hula Hooping is a great option for anyone looking for a fun, stimulating, and laid-back way to lose weight and stay in shape.

How many calories can you burn during a hoop workout?

You burn approximately 7 calories per minute while hula hooping. An hour long exercise session can burn as many calories as spending an hour on a treadmill or an elliptical. Half an hour of hooping would be considered a standard workout. Put on some of your favorite music, do some hoop dancing, and that time will fly by.
