As 2010 quickly approaches many people are considering losing weight. The average American makes a New Years Resolution to get rid of that extra 10 pounds but doesn’t really know how to achieve it. Weight loss is really just a matter of eating less than your body needs and can be achieved by simply cutting 100 calories a day. That may seem like an insignificant change in your diet but if you cut 100 calories a day you will lose 10 pounds in a year and you probably wont even notice the difference in your diet. If you want to lose more try cutting up to 500 calories a day in which case the average person would lose 50 pounds in a year. Just remember to eat three meals a day and 2 snacks and just make those meals smaller than usual.
Try these tips to cut 100 calories when ordering take out:
1. Oder steamed rice with your lemon chicken rather than fried rice.
2. Go for spicy shrimp rather than breaded chicken.
3. Switch from Alfredo sauce to marinara sauce.
4. Let go of the lasagna for beef stroganoff.
5. Dip your dinner roll in marina sauce not oil.

Sex is very pleasurable experience that satisfies the most basic biological cravings. It is such an overwhelmingly positive experience and rarely do all of its other health benefits enter the same conversation. The fact is that the benefits of sex stretch far beyond basic pleasure principles. Studies have confirmed that a healthy sex life of 3 times a week will help to reduce stress levels.
Sex is a very intense activity that involves the entire body and all of its systems. After an intense orgasm, anti-stress hormones are released into the bloodstream giving you that euphoric experience helping you to relax and calm your nerves. This will also help you to feel more at ease, happier and worry-free allowing you to fall asleep easier and forget about all of the stresses of the day.

For one reason or another, at some point we all have an off day and choose not to follow through with our workout program. Sometimes this is a real emergency that is preventing you from exercising but other times, it is just plain laziness. If you are ever going to see results, you must be consistent with your workout efforts. So the next time you are about to bail on your workout because of bad weather, think again.
Bad weather - Cloudy days can be a real mood killer but by no means is this a good reason to skip out on your daily activity. The difficult part here is getting into the gym, once you’re in there, weather will no longer be an issue indoors and you can workout as planned. So the next time the sun is hidden and you are thinking twice about exercising, remember that this not a major barrier and you can easily workout with cloudy skies.

As we all get ready to ring in the New Year most of us are making decisions to make changes in our lives. Most Americans choose to lose weight as a New Years Resolution but don’t know where to start. Losing weight doesn’t need to be complicated, but making one simple change to your usual habits you can see the pounds fall off fast.
Many of us lie down on the couch at the end of a long hard day and watch a little TV, the problem is that most of us also fall asleep. It may seem harmless but the truth is falling asleep on the couch leads to interrupted sleep. Breaking your sleep into parts, when you make up on the couch several hours later and move to the bed can mess with your hormones and metabolism leading to weight gain. Getting seven to eight hours of continuous sleep regulated your hormones and controls your appetite. Try turning off the TV one hour before bed and give yourself some downtime before bed.
