I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you
will never lose weight doing something you hate. Initially, you may be
enticed to continue down the path when you see some results but the
long-term play always leads to failure. Look, would you do something you
hate every single day for the rest of your life? Probably not, right?
And who would expect you to? Now, there will be a little give and take
during the process but the most effective weight loss strategy is eating
what you want. Let me explain.
No, I’m Not Nuts
Well, that’s actually debatable but it’s not the topic of
discussion – your weight loss strategy is. Let’s take a peek at your
diet. Not the best, correct? It’s cool, we can work with that. In fact, I
don’t even really want you to do much in terms of eliminating what you
eat, we can play with it a little. I’m sure you have tried
several diets in the past. How did they turn out? Good at first and then
you figured out the diet absolutely sucks day in and day out so you
gave up. Am I right? That’s because the diet you were trying to use
didn’t fit your lifestyle. Know what? It won’t fit the majority of
lifestyles out there and that’s why it’s called a “diet.” Diets
are quick fixes to a bigger issue. While what you eat is just as
important as how much, a simple way to see some quick weight loss is by
simply managing how much you eat (to start). To break it down in easy to
digest terms, you have a daily caloric maintenance number that if you
hit it each day, your weight will stabilize – you won’t gain weight and
you won’t lose weight. Then you have a caloric deficit. That’s where you
consume fewer calories than maintenance and over time you will see a
decrease in your body weight. Lastly, we have a caloric surplus. That’s
where more than 60% of American’s are on a daily basis which causes
weight gain. With more than 60% of American adults being
overweight and of that number around 30% of them being considered obese,
you can say we have an epidemic on our hands. Not to worry, we can dig
you out of the hole you dug if you feel that’s where you are. First
thing’s first – you need to track your calories. I’m willing to bet that
nearly every instance where someone isn’t losing weight, they have no
idea how many calories they are consuming on a daily basis and
additionally, they are in a dreaded caloric surplus. Either write
down on a piece of scrap paper your daily intake of calories as well as
protein, carbohydrates, and fats, or use a simple and easy to use app
such as MyFitnessPal to track your nutrition. Numbers don’t lie and
neither does the mirror. If your maintenance calories are said to be at
2,500, what happens if you eat more? You betcha, you’ll be gaining
weight. Therefore, we need to make sure we are under that number. I’m
using 2,500 as a placeholder for my example. You may be higher/lower so
just roll with me on this one to understand what needs to be done in
your instance regardless of what your actual maintenance calories are. If
you remove 250 calories per day from your 2,500 you will be left with
2,225 and that can yield you around 0.5lb of weight loss per week. If
you drop 500 calories per day and take it down to 2,000 calories per
day, you can lose around 1lb per week. You don’t want to lose any more
than 2lbs per week or you’ll risk losing lean muscle mass which will
lead you down another dark hole of slowing down your metabolism.
How Can You Eat Whatever You Want?
I know this is the part you’ve been waiting for. As the title
says, the most effective weight loss strategy is eating what you want.
Is that true? Yes and no. No, it’s not clickbait – hear me out. Do
you like ice cream? I’m not telling you to eliminate it. Do you like
pizza? You can have pizza. Do you like big, fat, juicy burgers with
fries? Get down with your bad self. You don’t need to get rid of any of
that deliciousness – but you need to manage how much you eat and where
it puts you calorically for the day.
Listen, if your family wants
to have a pizza night and it’s your tradition, by all means, eat some
pizza. But rather than having an entire pizza yourself, only have a
couple of slices and call it a day. Log your calories and macronutrients
from the meal and move on. Now, I’m not saying it’s healthy to have
pizza every day but I’m also not saying you need to give it up
altogether. Diets like keto don’t work for people because they
like their pizza, donuts, and ice cream. Who am I to tell you that you
can’t have those things? And no one should. It’s simply a matter of
better managing the food you consume and in what quantities. The
problem with all of these diets is that they want you to eliminate
entire macronutrients. Eliminate all fat. Eliminate all carbohydrates.
It sounds ridiculous. Who wants to do that and maintain their sanity?
I’d be the grumpiest person you’d meet if you made me eliminate an
entire macronutrient. That’s why the failure rate is so high. It’s not a
long-term strategy or a lifestyle you can follow until the day you die. Stop
buying into all of these fad diets and eat whatever the hell you want
(within the guidelines I mentioned above). Enjoy your life and the food
you eat. Just be mindful of your portions and make sure you hit your
daily numbers. If you can eliminate certain things that don’t mean much
to you, such as soda, do so. Make changes that fit your lifestyle and
when you make changes, do them slowly. Don’t throw away everything in
your pantry, simply stop buying certain foods. Maybe switch from regular
soda to diet. Switch from sugar in your coffee to something like
Stevia. Little changes can yield great results in the long-term.
Remember, this is a long-term play, nothing happens overnight.

What should be your Testosterone level?
By: Swati Guha
Why do testosterone levels among
healthy men vary so much? Hayes speculates that some men may have highly
efficient testosterone receptors—cellular traps that grab the free
hormone in the blood—so that what appears to be an abnormally low
testosterone level is all the hormone they need. But even an
individual's testosterone levels can be markedly different at different
times. One factor may be stress, which seems to reduce levels of
sex steroids. Drug interactions, too, might alter testosterone levels
in unpredictable ways. And much of the variation simply eludes
explanation. Crowley studied several young men whose initial test
results showed testosterone levels ranging from 150 to 200—well below
the 300 cutoff—over twenty-four hours. "They had a perfectly normal
testosterone profile," Crowley says. "There can be a funny disconnect
between one measurement and a later one", which means that testosterone
deficiency, may be easily over diagnosed. Updated guidelines on
diagnosis and treatment of hypogonadism in men reflect advances in
treatment and more robust data about the short-term benefits of
testosterone replacement therapy. The guidelines, issued by the
American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), also urge
additional research into the long-term use of the therapy and its
possible effects on the risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
"Concern
about long-term safety and efficacy remains an issue," said Dr. Steven
M. Petak, chair of the guidelines revision committee. "Perhaps
these new guidelines will stimulate some additional research into these
issues," said Dr. Petak, an endocrinologist at the Texas Institute for
Reproductive Medicine and Endocrinology, Houston. The National
Institute on Aging has begun work on a 1-year study to evaluate the
feasibility of conducting clinical trials of testosterone replacement
therapy in older men. A task force will report on the known benefits and
risks of the therapy, its potential public health impact, and the
ethical issues involved in conducting such a clinical trial. The report
is expected by November, said Dr. Stanley Slater, deputy director of the
institute's geriatrics and clinical gerontology program.

I'm Aja Dang and I teamed up with Renner Gracie from Gracie University
to show you 5 choke hold defense techniques every woman MUST know when
involved in a fight. In a perfect world, women wouldn't need to know
self protection, but we are not in a perfect world. This video will
teach you how to escape from some attacks and sexual assault positions.
We covered some of the best defense moves in this self defense training
video - even how to escape a choke hold.
While this doesn't take place of actual jiu jitsu training, these are
self defense techniques that can be practiced at home. I really hope
that we never have to use these techniques against an attacker, but
better to know the basics than know nothing at all.
Join us for a special presentation as we celebrate Christmas with some
of your favourite songs and stunning creative moments. Celebrating the
reason for the season - Jesus!
Have you ever gotten so busy that you felt you didn’t
even have time to breathe? Most of us have experienced situations in
which we took on so many projects and “to-do” lists that we became
overloaded. This can increase our stress levels until we get snappish
and irritable, but this isn’t the kind of life God wants for us. At
times when we’re speeding along but not knowing where we’re going,
slowing down and listening for His directions helps tremendously. We’ve all seen people who always are on the go, constantly getting
caught up in busy work that seems to have no purpose. We may have tried
it and ended up overwhelmed and frustrated. We can allow ourselves to
get bombarded with requests to do something or go somewhere, but it’s
okay to say “no” sometimes. Pausing when we need to gives us a chance to
refocus on the big picture. “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world” (Psalm 46:10, NLT). In our frantic world, being still is almost a lost art. There’s
nothing wrong with being productive, but taking it to the extreme can
backfire on us. We have a tendency to get wrapped up in what we’re doing
at the moment, forget about everything else, and then wonder why we’re
not seeing the results we want. No matter how hard we try, there are
some things only God can do. “…For I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me” (Isaiah 46:9). We mustn’t forget about God. When we take the time to go to Him in prayer to ask for guidance, He will answer. “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not”
(Jeremiah 33:3). God is always speaking to us, but few people hear Him
because their minds aren’t tuned in to hear from Him. Just like locking
onto a radio frequency, we must screen out all distractions and listen
to what He says. There’s only one God, and there’s no duplicating Him. When we’re
stuck in something and can’t pinpoint the problem, we should admit that
we need Him to be truly successful. Prayer is a two-way conversation.
Presenting our requests to Him and then waiting for His response—instead
of directing a one-way monologue toward Him—gives us the direction we
need. “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is
the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn
to the left” (Isaiah 30:21). People who don’t know God may think He’s out to punish them for their
past mistakes and shortcomings. Nothing could be further from the
truth. A wrong impression of His nature may be the reason we’re afraid
to open a dialogue with Him. God has plenty to say to us, and it’s all
good. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the
LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a
hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will
listen to you” (Jeremiah 29:11, 12, NKJV).
God loves to hear from us on a regular basis. Keeping in constant
contact with Him makes a huge difference for the better. He welcomes our
prayers, and He’s always listening. For more on prayer, click on the

“So also Christ was offered
once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people.
He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to
all who are eagerly waiting for him” (Hebrews 9:28, NLT).
Jesus’ blood made available
to us forgiveness for all our sins, even the ones we haven’t committed
yet; therefore, sin is a non-issue with God. When we miss the mark, we
can thank Him for forgiving us before we were even born.
