Variations Of Upper Abs Exercises
I know that this blog is meant more for diet than abs exercises but I thought the majority of readers would like this article. It has 3 extremely effective upper abs exercises. Here is the link: Upper Abs Exercise VariationsOne that note I also did find a blog who dedicated an entire category on these exercises. The link is listed below.http://www.tightabsblog.com/upper-abs-exercises/upper-abs-exercisesEnjoy and talk to you soon.David

Flossing To Lose Weight
I founds this little tips on the men's fitness website. It says that flossing and brushing your teeth twice a day can help you lose weight. And it is not just from the energy you exert by the physical act of brushing. Floss twice a day.
When researchers in Brazil studied 13,000 people over a three-year period, they found that men with the highest levels of inflammatory agents in their body were also the most likely to gain weight. And periodontal disease, which is caused by poor oral health care, is one of the most common sources of inflammation. Brushing twice a day, flossing, and making regular trips to the dentist are the best ways to prevent the disease. Hate flossing? Studies show that a dose of Listerine may be just as effective at reducing levels of inflammatory bacteria within the mouth.This is something easy that you should already be doing. Try it out, it can't hurt.If you want more tips on weight loss Check out my how many calories to lose weight website.Good Luck

How To Use BMR and 'Daily Caloric Need' to Gain Or Lose Body Weight
Using BMR and 'Daily Caloric Need' to Gain Or Lose Body Weight
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Bryan_Keller]Bryan Keller Let me start off by briefly going over some very basic, fundamental information about the constituents of the foods that we eat and how our bodies are able to utilize the calories, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that make up these foods.All of the foods that we eat, including meats, vegetables and fruits are made up entirely of either one or more of the following 5 fundamental nutrients:1. Proteins
2. Carbohydrates
3. Fats
4. Ethanol (Alcohol)
5. Vitamins & Dietary Minerals
6. FiberOf these 6 components, the first four in the list all contain calories. Calories are basically the amount of energy stored within each of these nutrients. Calories are needed by the human body to fuel metabolism. Metabolism is the process responsible for turning food into the energy needed to support life. The two basic metabolic pathways responsible for the conversion of calories to energy are the anabolic pathways and the catabolic pathways. Catabolism refers to the set of metabolic pathways in which molecules are broken down into smaller units causing a small amount of energy to be released in the form of heat, while the remaining energy is used to drive the synthesis of an energy transport molecule called adenosine triphospate (ATP). ATP is basically a molecular form of stored energy and allows the transfer of chemical energy from one metabolic process to another. The metabolic processes that use ATP as an energy source also convert it back into its precursors allowing it to be recycled continuously. The ATP, created during catabolism, is then available to fuel the processes within the other metabolic pathway - the anabolic pathway. Anabolism is the set of metabolic pathways reponsible for the construction of new molecules from smaller units. Anabolism is responsible for bone mineralization, cell differentiation and growth, and muscle growth.Regulating calorie intake can affect both gaining body weight and losing body weight. Generally consuming more calories than the amount used by the bodies' current metabolic needs results in body weight gain. Consuming fewer calories than the amount needed by the body to fuel its current metabolic needs results in weight loss. For someone interested in attempting to either gain or lose weight it is very useful to know how many calories are needed, on average, to fuel the bodies current metabolic needs. I will refer to this number as the 'daily caloric need'. To determine the 'daily caloric need' it is necessary to first ascertain what is called the BMR or 'basal metabolic rate'. The human body burns calories 24 hours a day, even during sleep. The basal metabolic rate, which can be estimated by using the very simple formula you see below, is the number of calories the resting body would burn if absolutely no activity were performed in a 24 hour period.Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )Now that the BMR is known, applying an activity multiplier to this number will result in a fairly accurate estimate of the number of calories needed by the metabolism to fuel typical activity level and basic metabolic processes. Here I am using the Harris Benedict Formula.To determine the 'daily caloric need', multiply the BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:1. If you are sedentary (little or no exercise): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
3. If you are moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
4. If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
5. If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training): Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9 Now that the 'daily caloric need' is known, it is very easy to figure out how many additional calories need to be consumed to gain weight or how many fewer calories need to be consumed to lose weight. For the person trying to gain weight, sufficiently increasing calorie consumption over the 'daily caloric need' will cause body weight gain. A pound of body weight is roughly equal to 3500 calories, so if the goal is to gain one pound of body weight a week, 3500 excess calories should be consumed during the course of one week. Take 3500 and divide by 7 (days in a week), and the resulting 500 is the number of extra calories that need to be consumed each day to reach this goal. The composition of the food calories consumed, ie. the amounts of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, is also very important to promote lean muscular gain. See the article, Eating: Lean, Muscular, Weight Gain. While eating excess calories will invariably produce weight gain, it is important to remember that the goal is to gain 'muscular' weight, not to increase storage of body fat. When using this method to gain weight it is highly recommended that considerably more intense exercise be performed to promote an increase in muscular weight.For someone trying to lose weight, the same basic principles apply. 3500 calories is roughly equal to one pound of body tissue so therefore, limiting calorie consumption to 3500 below the 'daily caloric need' in one week should produce weight loss close to one pound a week. That's 3500 divided by 7, giving a result of 500. So, 500 fewer calories than baseline (calculated above), need to be consumed each day to reach the goal for the week. Here again, the composition of the food calories eaten during this time is very important. See the article, Eating: Lose Weight & Retain Muscle. Unfortunately reducing calories can also negatively affect the metabolic rate, slowing it down, and limit the amount of weight that can be lost. To compensate for the slowing metabolism, an additional 30 to 45 minutes of cardio-vascular exercise, added to the daily exercise routine, will help stimulate metabolism and increases the number of total calories burned. At a body-weight of 175 lbs., 30 minutes of cardio exercise will burn between 300-500 calories. This increases the total daily caloric deficit to 800-1000 calories and the weekly deficit to 5600-7000. At 7000, that's going to be very close to 2 pounds of body-weight lost each week.Now it's important to remember that this is merely a guideline and many, many other factors can, and will produce great variation among the individual results realized through the use of this approach. Genetic factors, general health, a prior history of exercise experience and poor diet or nutrition can all contribute to a decrease in the effectiveness of this technique. It truly is not possible to emphasize enough the importance of consuming good high quality protein, adequate amounts of long chain complex carbohydrates and at least some omega-3 fatty acids, particularly while attempting to either lose or gain weight. More about this later.

Calories To Lose Weight Part 2
Here is another formula to find out the calories to lose weight. Again notice the active multiplier. This again is important to find out how many calories that you actually have to expend per day and subtract the 500 calories.
Basic Calorie Requirements Calculation Based on Activity Level:
Sedentary : 13 X Weight = Avg. cal/day
Sedentary is not exercising at all.
Moderately Active: 16 X Weight = Avg. cal/day
Moderately Active is exercising approximately 3-4 times per week
Very Active: 19 X Weight = Avg. cal/day
Very Active is 5-7 strenuous exercise sessions per week.
I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but do not cut too many calories. I just read the following from momscape site:
The 500 calorie reduction is a well accepted amount. You can reduce your calories further, but I wouldn't recommend it. It doesn't benefit anyone to try for faster weight loss, in fact, if you reduce your calories too much you end up wasting muscle in the process, which is exactly what you do not want to do. If you want faster results, it's better to add more activity, thereby burning more calories at rest.
And then further in the article:
Deprivation. You're going to feel deprived, mentally and physically. One thousand calories isn't enough for your basic metabolic needs, much less to fuel yourself for your activity needs.
This is when your exercise routine fails and soon after the diet. When this happens you will tend to gain more back than when you started the diet. Please don't let this happen to you. Take your calories to lose weight seriously.
I you enjoyed the article and again if you would like a FREE calculator that you can download to your computer please visit Calories to Lose Weight Blog. You can also find more information on this blog about how many calories you should consume to lose weight. I recommend starting with my first calories to lose weight post.

Calories to Lose Weight
In order to lose weight you must be expend more calories than you consume. Although that this idea may sound simple it is not that simple. You see if you cut down too many calories your body goes into starvation mode.
When your body goes into starvation mode it will slow your metabolism. Your body will also store what calories that it is taking in as fat. Not to mention if you are exercising and not eating enough your muscle becomes cannibals and you can actually lose lean muscle. This is exactly the thing that we do not want to happen.
The trick is to be over all calorie deficient, supply your muscles with the proper amount of nutrition and avoid going into starvation mode.
The best way that I have found to do this is using BMR (Basel Metabolic Rate). Using this formula you will be able to find how many calories you expend if you did nothing but rest in bed. Then you use the activity multiplier to find how many calories you expend on a daily basis. Finally you subtract 500 calories from this number to to lose around 1 lb of fat per week.
The if you exercise you can expend more calories and gain lean muscle. Lean muscle expends more calories on a daily basis. This along with exercise should get you to the 2 lbs of fat per month.
If you would like to figure out your BMR visit Calories To Lose Weight. Here they have the formula to figure this out, not to mention that it also has a FREE body fat and BMR calculator that you can download to your PC.
There are other things that you can do to further your progress. This includes diet and exercises. Certain exercises produce better results than other and certain eating patterns also produce better results. Check out the references below for more information.
