Weight Loss Basics -- BoredomIt may be true that boredom has tripped up more potentially successful weight loss attempts than much else; at the least it has tripped up enough of them to earn your respect; and when it raises its ugly head you need to deal with it. This is how. Weight Loss Basics -- Long-Term Weight LossIf you have 26 odd miles to run, common sense decrees that you don’t set out at a flat-out dash. You pace yourself, that’s what marathon runners do; and the pace of a marathon-weight-loss runner is 1-2 pounds a week.
For the not so comfortable truth is that long-term, permanent weight loss is difficult to achieve, and that about 95% of repeat dieters fail, regaining lost weight.
What about the 5% who succeed? Weight Loss Basics -- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)Axiomatically, to lose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume. To know how many calories you do burn in any given day, you need to establish your BMR, which, surprisingly, accounts for 70% of your energy use. Weight Loss Basics -- MetabolismThe human body needs fuel and oxygen to operate, just like any combustion engine. The process by which it converts food (fuel) to energy and internal building blocks is called metabolism. A good thing to know more about. Weight Loss Basics -- Eat To LiveMany of us, unfortunately, live to eat rather than eat to live. The distinction between the two may on its surface look like clever wordplay, but few differences are more profound. Eating to live brings long-term survival and pleasure; living to eat brings heartburn, bad conscience, and premature death.

Weight Loss Basics -- Health vs. AppearanceSadly, the majority of dieters try to lose weight for the wrong reason: that elusive thing we call admiration; and so escalate the importance of appearance far beyond reason. If we instead granted health the importance it should have, not only will we lead happier lives, we’ll diet for the right reason, which tend to make things a little easier. Online Escrow ScamsOnline Escrow Scams are a scourge that grows by almost twenty new sites a week, each casting their nets of betrayal to catch the innocent and unaware online buyer or seller. Weight Loss Basics -- ResourcesOnce we admit to ourselves that perhaps we could use a hand with long-term weight loss, where do we turn? This article points us in several very right directions. Weight Loss Basics -- Diet BooksEach year every man, woman, and child in the United States spend $4.25 on diet and weight loss books for an annual total of $1.3 billion. In a field that crowded, how do you pick the right book?
