Examples abound in both cases. In mens alpine skiing, Bode Miller and Axel Svindal, Joannie Rochette and Queen Yu-an two different stories with wonderful out comes in figure skating, Cindy Klassen, Shani Davis and many more in speed skating. Alex Bilodeau and Dale Begg-Smith in Moguls, may be the most vivid example of the jin & jang of all, in these Olympics, they both had great results yet their view, joy and acceptance of the results were totally different. Men’s figure skating had interesting drama as well. You get to make your own world, so I hope you like the one your in. Those are the events I saw the most of, I did see some boardercross, ski cross and Shaun White in the halfpipe, they all were wonderful to watch.

The reason I started to think about this was because of the way the fans were reacting at the hockey games and curling events. I started to wonder if the fans activities may have an effect on the out come, such as good behavior may bring out a better results and dis-respectfulness a negative outcome. At the curling rink the Canadian fans have been cheering when the other team misses a shot and when the opponent calls a time out for a team meeting, which seems quite disrespectful. Did it have any impact on the results for the gold medal game, Cheryl Bernard had to chances to win the game in the tenth and eleventh ends, shoulda, coulda, woulda, didn’t, what would have happened if the fans had been more respectful? What do the psychologists think? We will see what happens in the men’s gold medal game with the Martin rink. The same thing almost happened last night in the hockey game between Canada and Slovakia. The Slovaks have quietly done their business, they beat the Russians, then the Swedes, play good team hockey and get to the semi finals. Canada has had to fight to get this far but what have the fans done. Are they thankful and respectful, do they appreciate the other team? They start to chant in the 3rd period of the German game we want Russia, they get Russia and when the game gets out of reach they start taunting Ovechkin, then in the semi final they start chanting we want the USA, they almost didn’t get what they wanted. The Slovaks put on the pressure, scored two goals and had great chances to tie the game, Canada was lucky. If I was a Canadian curler or hockey player I would be embarrassed by the behavior of the fans.

I don’t know if karma is real of not, but as human and Canadian I like to think is. What I find hard to swallow is the idea that a mob of louts can change the deserving out comes that the athletes have toiled for years to achieve. I thank all the participants for sharing their dreams with all of us. My wish is that you could all do a personal best at the Olympics. For everyone, cheer, enjoy, celebrate, respect your opponent and each other. Go get them.

Do yourself a favor, don’t starve yourself, eat. Would you believe me if I told you to eat until you aren’t hungry? Eating more lets your body know it is alright to burn fat, that you don’t need to store it. Think about what you eat not about how much you eat. Scientists have found that  on way to lose weight is to eat more often. Eat healthy, simple real food everyday, fresh fruit and vegetables, small doses of protein and vitamins.

Exercise is nessecary to burn the energy from your food and stored fat for the best weight lose results. Enjoy the process, have fun. If you aren’t  a gym person or runner think about what you like. Do you like to go out, do you like to compete, do you like to be alone or to work out with a friend? After you answer these questions find things that are fun and work with you. Go dancing (no drinking, this will put pounds on not off), play games, golf, tennis, swim, ride bikes, skip rope (this is a great workout), get a rebounder and bounce the pounds off. Do you like video games, Wii fit is a fun way to workout, so is DDR(dance dance revolution), get some yoga and pilates workouts to do at home, but make sure it is fun, this will make it something you look forward to and a good motivator.

The reason you need to this is to increase your metabolism. Have your metabolism running as quickly as possible. Improving the speed of your metabolism is done with regular physical exercise, and not missing meals or following a low calorie diet. Because of this, the best way to lose weight is not by starving ourselves, but rather by putting an end to mindless eating, Brian Wansink says in his latest book, Stop Mindless Eating: why we eat more than we think. Doctors and scientists has developed diet pills and programs, the best ones include natural ingredients, food and exercise.

A healthy goal to lose 20 lbs. over a 5 month period, 4-5 lbs. per month will not shock the body and put a strain on your systems. Taking away 500  calories per day or burning 500 calories per day has been shown, with reseach, to be the most effective way to do this.

Think about how healthy and fit you will be. What is your perfect body image? How will you feel when you can fit into those jeans or bathing suit? When you can do those stairs without losing your breathe? Use these images to motivate yourself, to help you stay with your plan and never say die, you can when you try.

A friend, coach, buddy and goal will help. Work with you body so it is working with you. Having a weight loss plan and setting short goals that are healthy and achievably, that teach you how to live so you keep the weight off. This means working with mother nature not against her, keeping our bodies free of chemicals that can interfere with the bodies natural functions.

What is the best way to lose weight? The best way to lose weight is free. It is healthy, easy, requires a good diet and exercise regiment. If you would like to get the best results you will try being a vegetarian and stay away from bad carbs.

To summarize, the best way to lose weight to learn as much as you can, eat healthy real food, be active and drink water. This is not difficult, it is fun and good for you. You will be glad you did it. Go for it and good luck.

How are you going to do this? It is a simple idea and one I find easy to follow because the required changes are small. Things like drinking light beer instead of regular beer. Another suggestion is to have thin crust pizza. Thick crust pizza has many more calories and carbohydrates than thin slice. Put things like pesto, sun dried tomatoes, Tomato sauce (has lycopene), olives and anchovies on your pizza to get the health benefits these foods provide. Eating healthy snacks like fruit, nuts, popcorn and humus will help to get rid of that beer belly and improve your well being. Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables to fill you up and say no to sweets. That is the one key to increase your success. One of the most important things you can do and the easiest, is to eat breakfast. Why is breakfast so important? Your body is starving when you wake up. It has been sleeping and doing very little for 7-10 hours. It has been conserving energy, calories, so you need to do things that lets your body know that it is alright to start burning calories again. To do this you need to give it some calories to burn, eat something and a reason to burn them, exercise. Breakfast can be as simple as a cup of tea or coffee and peanut butter on whole grain toast or as big as bacon and eggs. The only requirement is that you eat something.

The third component of the Beer Gut Diet is exercise, the reason for your body to burn the fat. I fine that the best time to exercise is when I first wake up. This gets me going, energizes me and makes me hungry. If you are going for a waist loss I suggest that you include some crunches in your core exercise plan so you have those six pack abs once the belly fat is gone. Three times a week or more, do at least half an hour of walking, jogging, swimming or biking, increase the activities as your strength and endurance improves.

One thing not in the Beer Gut Diet that will greatly your results and health is that you must drink water. Water is what is going to flush the excess out and help your body cleanse its self. If you follow these tips you will be on your way to healthy waist loss of course one of the healthiest diets to follow and keep the waist off is the Mediterranean diet. This is a good and easy way to begin to take care of your self and taking care of yourself is the best way to lose weight.

the waist size that is right for you, is to see if your waist

is half or less than your height. This will tell you if you

need to work on your waist. The way to measure this is

to stand up straight take a deep breath and pull in your

stomach. Put the measuring tape around your waist at

your belly button and read the answer.

I did this and found that my waist is 35″, exactly half my

height. This is a huge improvement from the 41″and 217

lbs. I was at. I will keep working to get my waist down

even lower. My goal is 33″ which should take care of my

love handles.

The way to do this is to eat right, drink water and

exercise, said Dr.Oz. The things that you need to eat

must be to be nutritious. Preferably deeply colored fruits

and vegetables and you can have as much of these as you

like. Dr. Oz has often talked about putting these things in

to the blender for a quick meal or snack. The main things

to avoid are saturated fats and sugars. Doing these 2

things will get you started on your healthy waist loss

program, which is more important to your health than weight loss and really what you want.

If you want to really kick start the process then using a

waist loss system that includes supplements like

Acaiberry, appetite suppressants and colon cleansing will

increase your results by 2-3 times.
