If you have diabetes or you need to lose weight the Glycemic Index Diet Plan might be just the solution you’re looking for. This diet is based on a diet plan that was developed in the 1980’s as a way for diabetics to better control their blood glucose levels and subsequently manage their diabetes.

It was discovered that the diet plan had a wonderful side effect; efficient weight loss. Since that time the Low GI Diet, as it is often referred to, has become quite popular with non-diabetics as well. Individuals who use the diet claim they are able to lose weight as well as retain more muscle. Many people report the diet helps them to shave off weight in critical areas as well, including the stomach.

The glycemic index refers specifically to carbohydrate-based foods - foods that are released into the body as sugar (the body’s primary source of energy) upon digestion. Proteins and fats do not have a GI value, as their digestion does not result in the release of sugar - but amino acids and fatty acids.

The glycemic index refers to a value (from 1-100) that is assigned to a carbohydrate according to the rate at which it is digested and released as sugar into the bloodstream. Lower value carbohydrates are digested and released more slowly, and those with higher values are released more quickly. At one end of the GI spectrum we have foods such as grapefruit (with a GI of 25) and at the other end we have foods like white bread (with a GI of 95).

Unlike typical low carb diets such as the Atkins Nutritional Approach and the South Beach Diet, this diet does not focus on carbohydrate restriction, but on the type of carbs you consume. The biggest factor that influences the GI rating is fiber content. Carbohydrates rich in fiber are digested much more slowly by the body, resulting in a gradual and manageable release of blood sugar into the body. Another important factor is fat content. For example, a Snickers bar has a GI rating nearly half of that white bread. Why? We all know there’s a ton of simple sugar in a Snickers bar. The answer is the fat content of the bar slows the release of blood sugar, much like fiber does in fruits and vegetables.

The overall idea therefore, is to consume less high GI carbs, and more low GI carbs in your diet.

The GI diet is great for anyone who wants to lose weight and prevent the possibility of diabetes. It is also great for athletes, as it can provide plenty of energy required for strenuous activity. The best “side effect” of this diet is the maintaining of steady and balanced energy levels throughout the day.

Simply put, Precision Nutrition is a no-nonsense approach to getting results, based on the latest research. It’s a complete system, built for one purpose only: to give you precise control over your body through nutrition.

The first time I found out about Dr John Berardi was when I started using the MealPlans101 meal planning software, I saw that he uses the software to create meal plans for his clients, but obviously with the John Berardi “touch”. I then stumbled on over to his site, ended up purchasing the system, and oh boy - what a breeze between all the download-able products that is the norm of the internet today. The book set has a special place on my kitchen bookshelf - just seeing it on display makes it a pleasure to be there - the presentation and packaging is visually stunning - and now I am hooked on anything produced by John Berardi.

The information is thorough, the recipes are fantastic, and the whole package is motivating. This is something I will be referring to for years. The worksheets are very helpful. The food lists, the recipes, the explanations for getting started - it helps a lot in demystifying the whole “I have no time to eat healthy!” excuse.

Precision Nutrition is not for people who are just looking for academic educational material. Dr Berardi has written plenty of that (including published studies based on his PhD dissertation, numerous nutrition chapters for exercise science textbooks, etc.), and this is something else altogether. Precision Nutrition is a practical, step-by-step system to get real-life results, not a textbook to teach nutritional biochemistry.

As I say, the Precision Nutrition guides are not download-able PDF e-books. They are real, tangible products that will be sealed and delivered to your door. It comes in one box containing print versions of 7 guidebooks and the Gourmet Nutrition Cookbook (which could also be purchased separately here). The Precision Nutrition V2.0 system also includes an online digital audio/video library, an online membership, and more - covering the entire spectrum of goals, from female fat loss to male muscle gain – you will learn exactly how to get to your chosen goal as fast as possible, and stay there permanently. You get access to the private Precision Nutrition Member Forum – get support when you need it, 24/7, from Precision Nutrition experts and thousands of members from around the globe.

• The ability to read over 39,000 posts on every nutrition-related topic under the sun. If you’ve got a question about nutrition, you can find it on this site.
• Access to the new Precision Nutrition Exercise Database with high resolution video demonstrations of over 450 exercises (each exercise from multiple camera angles).

Jon Benson and Janis Hauser, author of Free To Be Fit and co-creator of the M-Power Fitness System, developed a system of eating that allows you to eat whatever you like every other day and still lose all the weight you want. The Every Other Day Diet is a diet plan for the real world, developed by real people.

It is based on the same principles as Fat Loss For Idiots which works by varying the amounts and types of calories that you are used to eat, and by ‘confusing’ your metabolism - the main difference being that with Fat Loss 4 Idiots the cycle is 11 days of diet and 3 days of cheat, while the Every Other Day Diet is done exactly as the name implies.

Most Diet Plans Are Too Hard

Most of what you’ve read about how to shed bodyweight is a lie. Some ‘experts’ expect you to believe they eat chicken and broccoli every night for dinner and rarely if ever cheat. Right. And I’m the Dalai Lama!

Just as bad, these plans are too difficult for anyone to follow for more than a few weeks. So when folks like you discover they can eat their favorite foods every single week and still shed the weight you should see the look on their faces. They can’t believe it.

Some think they have to take some “super pill” to succeed. Not true! Others think they will have to spend hours a day in the gym killing themselves. No way!

Here’s the truth:

Jon and Jan were both obese. Over the past four years, they perfected a System that shows you how they went from obese to “cover model” fit and still eat their favorite foods.

Not “once a week” either - they INSIST you eat yummy food frequently and without guilt or worry. Even better, they never count a single calorie!

Here’s the facts: there is NO SUCH THING as a perfect diet plan. But thousands of people make billions of bucks off of selling the idea that there is only ONE way to eat in order to get lean. Even worse: these people create diet plans so ridiculously strict that even fitness pros like Jon and Jan can’t follow them!

They had to create a plan anyone could follow. Women, men, and even kids. You should see these pictures! (Scroll about 1/3 way down the page)

They used Jan’s six-year-old daughter Kari to prove a point - This is so simple a even CHILD can do it! And you should see their clients - the few who know about this system… They get to eat pizza, burgers, ice cream, and more… and still lose-the-weight! This is not a pill or a scam - this is science applied to the real world. The science: you take advantage of the fact your body prefers a change of pace and can respond by burning ugly fat. The real world: no one is going to eat salad and tuna every day for the rest of their life in order to shed body fat and feel good again.

Simple, right? Common sense! You absolutely MUST HAVE a diet plan you can live with for life. And that’s what this is.

This is truly an exciting method to diet. The Every Other Day Diet™ System is a 184-page in-home Weight Loss Success Kit that reveals every principle behind a revolutionary “no calorie-counting”, “eat the foods you love” System for life-long weight loss and health! It includes an Easy Exercise Guide and over 60 recipes and meal plans!

Jon and Janis have been there, obese and dis-hearted. Now they share their success story with the world, and are so committed to YOUR success that they will personally send you three Every Other Day Diet™ System recipes each and every week for a full year - just to ensure that you always have a variety of meal choices! They will also send you weekly motivational and encouragement audios at no additional cost.

This System will work for you whether you are a first-time dieter or a professional athlete. There are 3 levels - whether you choose The Primer, The Lifestyle, or The Extreme Plan, you get an easy to follow step by step system to reach your goals.

Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is unique in that it successfully caters for both these groups of people. This is significant, as it simplifies the scientific facts and process of “no nonsense” fat loss, for normal people like you and me, and without the ultimate goal of being a bodybuilder. The ultimate goal here is getting rid of body fat. It is quite simply one of the most complete, detailed, and precise guides to fat loss you will ever read.

From the very beginning of this book, I knew it was something completely different. The most enlightening, and comforting aspect of it is that Tom teaches you to eat MORE, and not less - HOW to eat more, and WHY to eat more.

The book was researched and tested over a period of years on thousands of different people by a personal trainer who’s in great shape. The amount and quality of testimonials, from people in their 20’s to people in their 50’s is living proof that Tom’s book is legendary. There are 42 PAGES worth of them. Go and have a look - The link to the testimonials is in the upper right corner of the page at the official Burn The Fat web site.

It also covers one of the biggest problems that so may people who are trying to lose weight have. Motivation! It starts out by having you set weight loss and fitness goals. I’ve seen many products that really do work if you follow them. The problem is that they’re so difficult to follow, it’s just too hard to find the motivation to stick with these programs.

This is one area where Burn The Fat really separates itself from the rest of the pack. You see, the author understands that motivation and self discipline are really the most important aspects of any weight loss program. Getting your mind and body on the same page is covered in detail. And without this aspect of the program, you wouldn’t see nearly the same level of results.

It teaches women and men of every age the real approach of burning off BODY FAT - not muscle or water weight - and how to do it naturally, without supplements, pills or “magic potions,” simply by using proven, scientifically-accurate and common-sense advice.

Burn The Fat is not a “weight loss” program, it’s a “fat” loss program. Once you’ve read just the first three chapters, there will be no doubt in your mind that pursuing “weight loss” is not only the wrong goal, it may be the reason that you’ve failed to reach and maintain your ideal body weight. Burn The Fat shows you exactly why it’s fat you must lose, not “weight” (which includes muscle, water and other lean tissue) and then goes on to show you exactly how to do it.

Also, what makes Burn The Fat different is the amount of attention that is paid to each and every element of successful, healthy, permanent fat loss. Burn The Fat not only thoroughly dispels the lies, myths and fallacies surrounding a very confusing subject, it is simply the most detailed book about fat loss ever written. By reading Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, (or better yet, “studying it”), you will learn more about fat loss than you could from an entire semester of nutrition classes or from an entire shelf of mainstream diet publications at your local bookstore. In fact, you will become a fat loss expert, you will not have any confusion again, and you will even be able to help your friends on the right track.

This lifestyle program for busy moms is a comprehensive guide to what’s arguably the most widespread, challenging and frustrating issue faced by moms today: how to get their pre-baby body back. For almost all mothers the changes their bodies incur during pregnancy coupled with the countless responsibilities that motherhood bring spell trouble for regaining their pre-pregnancy figure.

There is no shortage of fitness, diet and fat loss products on the market today. You can find a veritable library of conflicting arguments almost anywhere you choose to seek information on the subject of fitness for women, whether it’s online, at your local library, through contact with personal trainers, or through the (less reputable but nevertheless very common) ranks of wannabe experts: aka, those frustrating people with no qualifications and no practical experience but are self professed experts because they read the last issue of Shape magazine.

What Sets This Product Apart?

As the title suggests, this product is specifically for moms wanting to get fit. Literally all aspects of losing fat and getting fit are covered – and the best part is that it is written specifically for busy moms. The material is presented in a manner both chatty and educational – it’s kind of like having a friendly conversation with a close friend that happens to be a fitness expert (with the added benefit of being able to refresh your understanding of the matter at any given time, simply by scrolling back to the relevant section!)

The tone of the book presents a welcome contrast to the other fitness products so freely available elsewhere on the Net: it’s friendly, understanding of the unique situations moms face, informative, and above all, commonsensical. No unrealistic recommendations, 2 hour workouts, or zero-carb diets here: it doesn’t take long to see that this lady knows what she’s talking about when it comes to mom’s lifestyles (and did I mention she’s a mom too?)

What’s Actually Included?

There’s a quick section on getting started and goal setting along with some morale-boosting advice on how to stay on track throughout the program, and then it’s straight into an action plan to get you started on the path to burning baby fat and getting your body back.

The Supportive Nutrition Plan is next – this is particularly helpful! Every conceivable nutrition issue is covered, from how often you should eat to what you should keep in your pantry. And on top of that, it includes a ‘Create a Menu Planner’ to guide you in creating every meal to support your success.

Next, the Fit Yummy Mummy fat loss workouts are covered, but not without easy to follow explanations of the why’s and the how’s for every part of the workout program. The workout plan even offers four different formats that you can plug into your lifestyle, something not found in any of the cookie cutter fat loss programs on the market. My favorite part of the workout section is that regardless of your exercise (or lack of exercise) background, there is a workout designed specifically for you. And no matter what you fitness level is, none of the workout programs require more than 90 minutes a week.

Finally, there’s a section called the Busy Mom’s Fat Loss Companion crammed with easy to use tools and resources like a goal setting sheet, fitness journal, exercise descriptions and even a ready made grocery list. The author has figured out every excuse and obstacle busy moms have and addressed them all.

Just Because It’s Detailed Doesn’t Mean It’s Confusing

Sound overwhelming? It’s actually very user-friendly. Not only is this e-book packed with sound practical advice and the whole thing is laid out in a very logical and easy-to-understand format, but it comes with a Quick Start Guide to make sure you start acting (and seeing results) fast. The tone of Fit Yummy Mummy is light and non-threatening (no scientific terminology here!) and it proceeds in a logical manner from step to step, with plenty of photos and descriptions to ensure that you are doing everything right.

Troubleshooting

In my opinion, one of the best parts: a follow up e-mail coaching series from the author that keeps you on track, gives you daily fitness tips and even healthy recipes. While most moms have the best of intentions, staying on track is tough. This follow up e-mail coaching series is the perfect solution.

The Verdict

Regaining their pre-pregnancy body is a daunting task for most moms, but the author’s personal experience and hands on work with over 250 moms is pretty reassuring; and she certainly knows how to break it down for even the most exercise illiterate. In addition to the main features detailed above, there are plenty of valuable extras included to make getting your pre-baby body back as easy as possible: checklists, do’s and don’ts, printable workout sheets, even ready to follow meal plans!

All in all, two thumbs up from me: when the information on hand is as detailed, easy to absorb, and - above all – reliable as Fit Yummy Mummy, you really can’t go wrong.

A lady doctor from Arizona has blown the lid off the most controversial secrets in weight loss ever discovered - and this has the whole diet food and drug industries turned upside down and in nothing less than a torrential uproar.

One well-respected and famous diet & wellness author wrote years ago that if anyone ever “truly unlocked the keys to permanent fat loss, they may actually suffer the same fate as JFK.”

Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst has been working on a detox diet geared towards removing harmful parasites and plaque in the intestinal walls of your colon, and has developed a number of natural treatments that are proven to eliminate excess weight in the average person along with obese people.

While most of us keep ourselves conscientiously clean, we tend to ignore the inside of our bodies. Dr Suzanne discovered that “plaque” from food additives, preservatives, pesticides and simply decayed food can build up in our colon, resulting in a toxic, hard plaque that further prevents effective absorption and elimination. When this layer of plaque is naturally removed it allows for better absorption of nutrients and the body self-regulates to desire less food.

Furthermore, the vast majority of us are unknowingly infested with intestinal parasites, parasites that literally suck the nutrients from our bodies and cause further issues as they continue to multiply. The elimination of these parasites can have an amazing effect on health and vitality. Dr. Suzanne went on to accurately determine a definitive correlation between harmful plague and parasitic infestations of the human bowel tract, and people suffering chronic obesity - and who despite intense diet and exercise appeared to be unable to lose any weight whatsoever.

The Arizonian boasts proudly “…this is something that I caught onto just before 2002 when there was so much research and exploration going around concerning the human colon and digestive system working in harmony with nutritional absorption, and I started doing independent studies just to test things at first … but which I later expanded on after seeing some fantastic results.”

Lady Doctor Blows the Lid Off of the World’s Most TOP SECRET Fat Loss Secret!

In one study that she conducted, she had applied the natural treatment to a number of patients ranging from over weight to obese. Among them were also patients that had life threatening over growth of parasites and plaque in their intestinal walls. As a result of the study, most of her clients dropped 10-30 pounds and the obese group dropped over 100 pounds of weight. She then borrowed from her research on the severely obese, and applied the same strategies on milder cases of overweight persons - only to find the same effectiveness and quality results as described above (although the individual weight loss per subject wasn’t nearly as much as the severely obese patients). She had discovered that obesity was closely related to an overgrowth of parasites and a congested colon.

So powerful is her secret that she’s able to reverse diabetes, rid illness altogether in people suffering from cancer (linked directly to poor diet and overweight factors), as well as an elimination of an entire spectrum of serious and otherwise life-threatening diseases.

Nearly 100% of all her case subjects were told in the alternative by “conventional doctors” that they either had just months or years to live, or they would never live a life anything resembling remotely a “normal” existence - yet after applying Dr Suzanne’s treatments saw a complete contradiction to others doctors’ prognoses.

=> TopSecretFatLossSecret

The conclusion of the study proves you must fix your colon system first before you can experience any real permanent fat loss. And no, nothing about her “secret” is difficult - nor does it require that you do something completely out of the ordinary or anything unnatural.

Over the course of six years the Arizona doctor developed a number of natural treatments for the removal of these same harmful, even life-threatening plaques and rapidly reproducing digestive parasites - and when applied to even worse-case patients suffering extreme obesity (98% of which were in immediate danger of dying) she saw a 100% effectiveness and success rate.

Again, nothing about her secret is unnatural or requires someone to do any major action or modification in their lives.

In fact, her entire treatment is based completely on built-into-nature ‘protection agents’ scattered throughout the world in the form of select herbs, extracts, and organic constituents, and which can be found in a variety of plants - but when combined in specific combinations and carefully chosen amounts make for a solution to what is perhaps the world’s worst ever plague: OBESITY (and the illnesses and diseases resulting from it - or at least severely aggravated or exacerbated by it).

With all the diets out there to choose from why would anyone bother with the Master Cleanse?

There’s two main reasons people like the Master Cleanse. The first (and most obvious) is that it works. The results people are getting with the Master Cleanse border on miraculous, and they are backed by thousands of devoted users who are living testimonials to the effectiveness of it.

The second reason people choose the Master Cleanse over other diets and wellness programs is that it’s fast. The typical person only spends 10 days on the diet, compared to other diets that can last months or even years.

Most people who go on the Master Cleanse do lose weight. Many lose a lot of weight, as much as 20 pounds.

Much of the weight lost while on the Master Cleanse is fecal matter that has built up over the years inside your body. You will also lose water weight while on the cleanse.

It is important to know that the Master Cleanse is essentially a fast of sorts. It does provide you with all the nutrients you need to be healthy and be energized, but at the same time it is not a long term diet.

Another interesting thing about the Master Cleanse lasting just 10 days is that you only need a short term burst of will power to get through it. Having to sacrifice for months is what makes other diets so hard to stay on, but most people can will their way through 10 days. With that said, it is very important that you have a solid plan in place for after you have completed the diet, it just won’t make sense to go back to your old ways, if your old ways are not sensible.

So, what can you expect from 10 days on the Master Cleanse?

Even though most people are going on the Master Cleanse to lose weight quickly, there’s many other health benefits to be gained. Flushing out your system is what it is really designed to do. Even back 60 years ago when the Master Cleanse was first invented people had health problems as a result of waste building up inside of them. Today with processed foods, pollution, and all around poor diets our bodies desperately need to be flushed out every once in a while.

When you flush out your body with the Master Cleanse the waste you eliminate will be abnormal. The smell, color, and texture of the waste that comes out of your body shocks some people, so you should be prepared.

If you want to try the Master Cleanse there’s more you need to know then just drinking the lemonade mixture for 10 days. In fact, most people who try it without knowing all the steps fail. If you think the Master Cleanse is something you would like to try there’s a good book, called Master Cleanse Secrets, that you should read before starting. It covers the common problems people face, and how to avoid them.

If you are not prepared for what you’ll experience, there’s a good chance you’ll fail. Typically lasting just 10 days, it’s easy to see why people just “jump right in” to the Master Cleanse thinking it will be easy. It’s not.

During your time on the Master Cleanse you are likely to experience hunger, aches, and irritability. Most people give up because of hunger. Putting solid food aside for a couple days and only drinking liquids is harder then most people think. Even though the cravings for whole foods can be difficult, they do subside after a few days on the Master Cleanse.

Main Ingredients for the Master Cleanse Recipe:

• Pure Filtered Water
• Grade B Organic Maple Syrup, Formaldehyde free
• Organic Cayenne Pepper
• Organic Lemons
• Sea salt - Unrefined, (Not iodized) or Epsom Salt

Optional Ingredients:

• Laxative tea
• Natural Herbal Tea (decaffeinated)

So rule number 1 for finishing the Master Cleanse is getting past the third day. Instead of focusing on completing the entire 10 days from the onset of the cleanse just focus on getting past day 3. Breaking the Master Cleanse down into smaller milestones will be a big help.

Rule number 2 for finishing the Master Cleanse is dealing with aches and soreness. Headaches are one of the most common Master Cleanse side effects, but some people also get body aches.

To reduce aches you should drink a lot of water. It’s also good to relax and not push your self too hard when you do the Master Cleanse. Exercising should be kept to light walking and stretching. Your body will be going through a rigorous cleansing process during the Master Cleanse, and won’t be able to adequately recover from intense exercise during this time.

Rule number 3 for finishing the Master Cleanse is overcoming irritability. This affects the people around you more then it does yourself, but it’s something you need to be aware of before starting.

It’s best to let the people around you know that you’re going to be doing the Master Cleanse ahead of time so they can do their best to accommodate you. Also try to plan your Master Cleanse when you’re not too busy. Most of us can’t just take 10 days off to do it, but you should try to avoid doing it when you’re swamped at work, or have other stressful events going on in your life.

There’s more to succeeding at the Master Cleanse then I can cover here. If you are serious about trying the Master Cleanse and want to be one of the people who do make it through the whole 10 days the Master Cleanse Secrets PDF is the most complete guide available for helping you get through it.

For that reason I would suggest that you do not look at it as a long term solution. However, many people do, and have lost incredible amounts of weight, in relatively short amounts of time.

The Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet will get you going with a bang, that’s for sure - the theory upon which it is designed is what usually turns out to be the solution for people who have hit a weight loss plateau - by varying the amounts and types of calories that they are used to eat, by ‘confusing’ the metabolism, and then also by making changes in their exercise regimes.

It is called the “Idiot Proof Diet” because everything is computed for you, via a real handy online diet generator, and from a list of your chosen fat burning foods, and there is no need for calorie counting or label reading.

Your metabolism doesn’t know how much food you’ll eat tomorrow or the next day because those days have not happened yet.

Therefore, your metabolism always burns calories based on your eating habits during the past few days - because it assumes that you’ll continue to eat in the same general way.

Guess what? You’re about to shock your metabolism by doing something you’ve never tried before - you’re going to do the OPPOSITE of what it expects you to do. You’re going to NOT continue eating the same types of calories and meals for more than a couple days at a time, and you’re going to lose a lot of weight by doing this.

To make this work you need to SHIFT the types of calories eaten as shown in the Fat Loss 4 Idiots System, and if you do this then your metabolism will burn all of the calories eaten. Then, when it finishes burning those calories it will find the nearest available fat tissue on your body and burn that too…

The day is divided into 4 meals that should be eaten at a minimum of 2 1/2 hours apart. There is no limit on portion size - The program says you “just eat short of being full”. After the 11 day meal plan there is the 3 day “cheat” - where you get to eat whatever you want. Then you are back into the 11 day plan again.

Every time you eat something there are 2 types of hormones released into your bloodstream, and together they control Fat Burning and Fat Storage. The Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet manipulates these hormones, so after each meal your body will produce a greater quantity of Fat Burning Hormones - while Fat Storing Hormones are minimized as much as humanly possible.

The food is made up of lean proteins, fruit and vegetables, and the sources of fat come from whole foods (such as cottage cheese or eggs). There are some starchy carbohydrates (such as oats and pasta).

Be careful during the 3 day rest period, as I found in many a Fat Loss 4 Idiots Review, many people are offered a finger and then grab the whole hand, and gain back more weight than they have lost during the 11 days.

The diet does suggest walking as exercise, and here a word of advice: DO consider regular exercise as an important element of ANY program.
