By Craig Burton For us in the Northern Hemisphere summer has arrived and shedding the layers of clothes has begun. But for many it's a case of extra winter baggage still hanging on, which sees a lot of people taking drastic measures like semi-starving themselves to fit into their bathing suits and summer outfits. So this month I will examine firstly what happens to your body if you severely reduce calories and secondly how to safely and effectively achieve permanent fat-loss. Topics
1. Cutting calories - hunger pangs!
2. How it effects the body in the long term
3. 5 keys to permanent and healthy fat-loss Need for Muscle Cardio in moderation Eat to boost metabolism Water Sleep
4. Conclusion 1. Cutting calories - hunger pangs! What comes to mind when you hear the word diet?
Bad memories of starvation and restriction, or a physical feeling from a lump in the throat to a stomach aching from past hunger pangs. That's the group of diets I am talking about: Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Slimfast or Cambridge - diets that the foundation involves cutting calories (calories are simply units of food energy). Firstly however it is essential to stress and clarify that not all calories are the same. For example the calories from a slice of white bread has a different effect on the body than the same amount of calories in a serving of vegetables. So in order to be accurate I am all for reducing calories (consumption) from processed food but not whole food! The following article examines what happens to your body when you reduce calories from whole foods resulting in a reduction of essential nutrients and energy for the system to function effectively. 2. How it effects the body in the long term So how do "calorie restrictive" diets work?
Basically on the simple principle of less calories (or energy) coming in as opposed to more energy being used. This leaves the body in a negative energy balance state which results in using current sources including body fat. Success from that concept makes sense in theory and often achieves positive results on the scale but unfortunately it's generally short term because the body is a lot more complicated and smarter than that simple theory. Therefore to explain why it's essential to look deeper into the body's mechanisms for creating a natural balance or homeostasis. After cutting calories the miracle of the body's internal wisdom sends a message saying "slow down the master regulator of metabolism" - otherwise known as the thyroid gland. An under-active thyroid is one of the reasons people cannot achieve a permanent optimal weight. The thyroid gland reduces the energy production to cope with the reduced energy input which consequently slows down many of the bodies systems which we experience as fatigue. Another problem in cutting calories is the body uses existing muscles for energy which further reduces metabolism as muscle is an active tissue. Losing muscle mass gives people a false sense of fat-loss as muscle weighs more than fat and can make the scale lie. In short, the drastic approach of severely cutting calories does not work in the long run in the effort to lose body fat! So what does? 3. 5 keys to permanent and healthy fat-loss In my experience long term success comes from controlling metabolism through a synergy. Synergy can be described as "the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects." I believe firmly that the success of an individual's health and fitness goals depends on the following synergy: the need for muscle mass, cardio-respiratory exercise in moderation, supportive nutrition as part of an overall healthy lifestyle that includes the right amount of water and sleep. The need for muscle. Muscle is an active tissue that needs fuel. It's your friend if you want to lose body fat by increasing your metabolism. Did you get that? Muscle helps you to lose fat. Does it mean you have to end up with a body like Arnold Schwarzenegger, ladies? No, activities like circuits, Yoga and Pilates develop muscle. Furthermore after the age of 30 our muscles shrink so it is imperative to regularly maintain or build them. Cardio in moderation. It is important however not to overdo the cardio (e.g. cross trainer or jogging), as this can lead to a decrease in muscle mass which are your fat burners. I am not saying Cardio is a bad thing, as it allows nutrients to be transported to the cells via the bloodstream. When fat is released from storage centers (adipose cells) it travels through the bloodstream to be "burned". But if there is a decrease in muscle mass, the body's ability to burn fat is also decreased. I recommend short duration cardio to limit the possibility of losing muscle. Eat to boost metabolism which means minimising simple sugar and refined carbohydrates intake, but consuming frequent meals consisting of proteins (meat, fish, chicken), complex carbohydrates (starches- brown rice), fibrous carbohydrates (vegetables), and essential fatty acids (olive oil). By eating every 3 hours metabolism increases and your body basically says I don't need to store this as fat as I get food regularly. (1) Drink plenty of water. The body is made up of around 75% water. Water is crucial when it comes to health by playing a role in transporting nutrients, digestion, elimination of waste products, detoxification, etc. Processes that if not balanced can directly lead to weight gain. For example body fat is a great place to store toxins by pushing them away from the vital organs. Only until an individual has detoxified will the body freely give up body fat as it naturally protects itself from circulating dangerous toxins through the blood stream. Beware a "dry mouth" is NOT a safe judge of thirst, it is actually a sign that the body is well into dehydration. How much water should we drink each day? That depends on several factors including your weight and how active you are. But without complicating it with litres or ounces my rule is start the day with 2 big glasses of water and then take a water bottle everywhere you go sipping throughout, aiming for at least 8 glasses consumed for the day. Additionally hydration comes from pure water not soft drinks, juice, coffee, tea, processed milk or alcohol. These drinks require much more water than they actually contain to process, detoxify and pass them out of the system, and lead to further dehydration. To maximize absorption add a pinch of unrefined sea salt. (2) An excellent text outlining the need for water is called "Your body's many cries for water" by Dr. Batmanghelidj. Get sufficient sleep. Sleep is another factor that has huge ramifications on the body. I consider sleep a major tipping point as many times I have personally seen clients only achieve results until they get to bed earlier and sleep a little longer. It may seem far fetched but we are often sick, overweight, diabetic, and suffering from disease because we don't sleep enough. The invention of the light bulb brought with it a host of chronic health concerns. In 1910 the average adult slept 9-10 hours per night for over 4,000 hours yearly. Currently we are lucky to get 7 hours for an average of 2,555 hours yearly. (2) Dr. Shahrad Taheri, a leading sleep expert reported that those who are sleep-deprived have the "same hormonal balance in their brain as someone who has been on a low calorie diet for three months". Which as previously discussed puts the body in a starvation state triggering a negative hormonal change, potentially leading to obesity. (3) The earlier you get to bed the better. Aim to be asleep by 10.30 pm and to obtain a minimum of 8 hours sleep in complete darkness. The body is programmed to perform tasks at certain times. One example is the gallbladder which detoxifies between 10 pm - 1 am. A good rule is every hour of sleep before midnight is worth two hours after in terms of recovery and repair. To find out how to improve your sleep patterns check out the November issue of Peak Performance article called "22 Ways to a good nights sleep". (4) 4. Conclusion So next time you have that fat-loss thought don't set yourself up for failure, be smart and think synergy: need for muscle, cardio in moderation, supportive eating, plenty of water, and sleep.

10 Steps To A Successful Career Change
By Tony Jacowski The thought of changing careers will cross everyones mind at some point in time. Yet, not many think that they, confidently, can take that step. While there are many reasons that can be attributed to this noticeable phenomenon, we, for the moment, will confine ourselves to the major reason - lack of confidence. Lack Of Confidence - A Major Drawback To Successful Career Change It is not unusual to desire a change in career. However, proper & detailed planning and preparation is essential for a successful change in career. Many times, procrastinating over the matter not just develops the redundancy factor but also creates a sort of fear and hindrance. 10 Steps To A Successful Career Change Here are the ten steps to changing your career successfully: 1. Preparing To Change: Gather information about your target organizations, job profile, etc. Get additional training and certifications as needed. Get your resume done professionally; highlighting areas to which you can contribute to and your past accomplishments. 2. Expect The Unexpected: Interviewers throw out surprises, sometimes unintentionally, which can catch you off-guard. It pays to know the questions that they might ask. Anticipate even the craziest questions. 3. Consult Those Who Are Already In Your Chosen Field: This gives you a wealth of information on the daily routine, responsibilities and challenges. 4. Changing A Line Of Career Isnt Unusual: The need for cross-discipline skills is no surprise these days. Get across the point that you dont lack all the skills required by the new job even you havent worked in a similar one. Interpersonal skills, organizational, personal skills are commonly required wherever you go. 5. Brush Up Old Skills And Add New Ones: Comparing your skill set with that required by the target job will tell you the areas you need to concentrate on. 6. Use The Internet: Use Internet job boards to post your resume, which should be carefully crafted specially for this purpose. By crafting, I mean using keywords that are industry-specific jargon. 7. Internet Helps Research A New Industry: Visit websites of organizations, forums or associations in that field which gives invaluable insight before short listing them. Researching job listings by company will definitely help you get an idea of what skills are most in demand. 8. Family Support: Draw confidence and support from your family. When you are down, use them as a sounding board. They may be able to help you come up with new ideas, and they will definitely boost your confidence. 9. Interview, Interview: Even if you are not perfectly suited for a particular position, you should still interview as much as you can. This way, you will know your strengths and weaknesses. It will also help if you do some informational interviewing. This is simply targeting people already working in your field and speaking with them about their jobs. 10. Network. Networking has been the time-tested method for a successful career change. Network with ex-employees and current employees of your target industry. Over 60% of all interviews come as a result of networking. Tony Jacowski is a quality analyst for The MBA Journal.

Salvation of the Professing Christians
By Sustines Laplana The way of salvation that professing Christians, like Born Again Christians, knew is too easy to do. According to them, by just accepting Christ as personal savior is enough for us to be saved on Judgment Day. This pronouncement is backed them up with the John 3:16 verse of the Bible which says: 16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16, NIV) But, is it really true that by merely believing Christ, you will be saved or will receive eternal life? It is true that according to the verse quoted above, those who will believe Christ will have eternal life. However, is it enough to believe Christ and we have nothing to do for our faith? Apostle James has this question too:14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? (James 2:14, ibid)It is actually obvious that faith alone can't save us, because faith are justified by works.24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. (James 2:24, NKJV)If you have faith alone in Christ but you did nothing to prove your faith, then your faith is dead.26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. (James 2:26, ibid)In other words, if you believe in Christ, then you should follow His command, isn't it? And according to Christ Himself, what should a man do for him to be saved? Christ said, those who will enter by Him will be saved.9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. (John 10:9, ibid)And those who enter Christ became parts of His body.4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. (Romans 12:4-5, ibid)The body of Christ is the church.18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. (Colossians 1:18, ibid)However, this church is not just any churches. It is the church that Christ built by Himself and claimed it as His own.18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18, ibid)It is not the Catholi Church, nor the Protestant Churches nor any Christian Ministries, but it is the Church of Christ:16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you. (Romans 16:16, ibid)In other words, faith alone in Christ is useless. If you want to be saved on the day of God's wrath, your faith must have works. To believe in Christ is to follow his command, that is, to become part of his body the church. But why should we need to become members of the Church of Christ for us to be saved? It is because, Christ will saved His Church.23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. (Ephesians 5:23, ibid)And outside the Church of Christ is God's judgment.13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore put away from yourselves the evil person.

8 Answers to Help You Achieve Amazing Fat Loss Results
By Gregg Gillies Angela Moyer was unhappy with her life and how she looked. Below is an interview I had the honor of conducting with Angela. Read her amazing story. 1. Angela, what was it that finally motivated you to get in the gym and start eating properly? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you are like most people, you had been unhappy with how you look for some time. If this is accurate, how long were you unhappy before you decided to take action? What do you think kept you from taking action all that time? After being diagnosed with toximia and advanced gestational diebetes, I spent the duration of my pregnancy on mandatory bedrest. I gained 90 lbs and delivered at 240 lbs. My husband was away serving in the middle east. I battled with postpartum depression teamed with lonliness and disgust for my appearance. I longed intensely to return to the body I had when my husband and I were first married and I wanted to build that body before he returned home. 2. How did you get started with your new liftestyle? In other words, what changes did you make, or planning did you do, to give yourself the best chance at success? I was a size 18 with a goal of size 9 and I had given myself three months to meet it. I joined a local gym and signed up for my first Body for Life challenge. I planned my workouts and entered each one into my newly created workout log book. I noted each improvement I made no matter how small. I took photos of myself regularly and taped them to the cover of the book as a
motivational tool. I made significant changes to my diet. I excluded fast
foods and regular sodas as well as ate more protien and less carbohydrates. I stopped allowing myself to go hungry by eating meal replacement bars between meals. If I wasn't so hungry when it came time to eat I ate less at the actual meal. I made working out six days a week a mandatory step
toward reaching my goal. I did resistance training four days a week and cardio two. In three months I reached my goal of 150lbs, wearing size 9 pants! 3. What problems did you have to overcome in order to stay on track with your new fitness program? Some of the popular excuses I've heard from people I've trained include "not enough time"(both for exercising and eating right), "eating healthy is too expensive", "don't see results fast enough", "weights will make me big and bulky", "have trouble sticking with an exercise routine". What were the obstacles you had to overcome? Some of the obstacles I encountered along the way were: Where do I go from here? Now that I've reached my goal, what's next? How do I maintain the same level of commitment when my husband returns home? How do I maintain a clean diet for myself and still prepare meals that my husband (who wasn't dieting) would also enjoy? 4. How did you overcome those problems? What specific techniques did you use to make your dreams a reality? Upon his return my husband was very proud of my achievement. He was very supportive and encouraging. Fortunately, this made it easier to overcome what I once thought to be obstacles. He brought with him lots of wonderful foreign chocolates and beers, which I had to enjoy in moderation but other than that, healthy meal planning was not as difficult as I imagined it to be. I just changed the ways I prepared the food we normally ate. I broiled, grilled, and baked meats instead of frying them. I used virgin olive oil and spices to season in place of butter. I also switched from canned to frozen vegetables to control portion sizes so that we wouldn't be encouraged to eat the left over amounts of prepared food just because
it was there. I continued to set goals for myself and completed a second challenge, finishing at 127lbs wearing size 1 pants. Balancing schedules with my husband, I managed to make it to the gym at least 4 days a week if not the 6 that I wanted. I allowed myself breaks from my routine spanning
anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks to enjoy time as a family, but kept the staying power to return to the gym when my break was up. The most significant advancement I made along the way was encouraging and convincing my husbant to join me. It was an advancement for me because I found it to be very motivating working with him and my weights lifted have increased tremendously with him there. We are currently working on what is my third challenge and his first. We are now competing as a couple! Instead of leaving him at home every day, he joined the gym and we now go together six days a week! Teaming up with my
husband has made yet another one of my dreams come true. I have finally found a balance between the two main things competing for my time, the two things I love the most, working out and spending time with my family. The two hours I spend at the gym, my husband and I now enjoy that time together, and when we are finished we take the kids to the park on the way home. Uniting the family through fitness has been a dream come true in and of itself. 5. Moving forward and knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently? Knowing what I know now about fitness and the way the body responds to the things you eat and do, I wouldn't have allowed myself to get to the point I was durning and in between my pregnancies. I see now that a lot of my
health issues were a result of my own unhealthy living and could have been avoided if I just applied myself earlier. 6. What would you have done the same way, and will continue to do, going forward? If I had to do it all over again I would continue to hit each workout with the same burning desire to change and the same commitment to intensity. I would especially have included my husband. Doing it over I would have
included him sooner. There are so many positive changes popping up in our
life as a result of including the family in fitness. I will continue to keep that part of my life open to my husband and children as they grow older. It certainly benefits us all. 7. Do you feel that ongoing feedback and motivational tools would help in maintaining a fitness program? I feel ongoing feedback and motivational tools are a critical part of maintaining a fitness program. If you're not much of a people person journals and pictures can give the feedback needed to keep going. I used the timer on my camera and took most of my pictures myself. Pictures can be very inspiring because they are the closest honest description we can get of
what others see of us. I found that mirrors don't quite capture a person the way that a picture does. Another great source of inspirational feedback
is to team up with someone. Allow yourself to be pushed by them and them by you. A support system is very motivational. If you can, bring it into the family. A fit parent is setting an excellent example for children and pushing yourself that hard next to your spouce will introduce to them a new
respect for you. It can also open up the lines of communication and trust a little more as well. Working out with your partner can definitely bring you closer. 8. If you were to advise a close friend or family member hot to follow in your fitness footsteps, what would you tell them? If I was to advise someone of how to follow in my fitness footsteps I would tell them to above all stay in touch with how they truly feel about themselves and their desire to grow and improve. Hit every workout like it is the only thing they have to do, the only thing standing in the way of them and their dreams, because in reality it is. I would tell them not to sell themselves short by setting a goal of what they think they can achieve. They need to cling to their actual dream because they have no idea yet just how much they CAN achieve. And please give the same level of commitment to excellence that they would to perhaps a best friend or their job, to themselves. Be that committed to yourself, and give yourself enough time to see the results. Don't give up! After you see those results but are not quite to your goal yet, don't settle. Don't give up. And once you reach that goal, to keep those results, don't give up. I tell people all the time that they don't have to be who they have become, they can become who they want to be. If you are not happy with who you are, become someone else, it's that easy. And above all else, don't give up! Thanks, Angela and congratulations on your success. Check out Angela's before and after pictures below. Please, don't just read the interviews like Angela. Think about them. Angela, and other success stories have invaluable information that you can use to become a success story yourself. She is not different than you and her success can be yours.

What were the obstacles you had to overcome? Some of the obstacles I encountered along the way were: Where do I go from here? Now that I've reached my goal, what's next? How do I maintain the same level of commitment when my husband returns home? How do I maintain a clean diet for myself and still prepare meals that my husband (who wasn't dieting) would also enjoy? 4. How did you overcome those problems? What specific techniques did you use to make your dreams a reality? Upon his return my husband was very proud of my achievement. He was very supportive and encouraging. Fortunately, this made it easier to overcome what I once thought to be obstacles. He brought with him lots of wonderful foreign chocolates and beers, which I had to enjoy in moderation but other than that, healthy meal planning was not as difficult as I imagined it to be. I just changed the ways I prepared the food we normally ate. I broiled, grilled, and baked meats instead of frying them. I used virgin olive oil and spices to season in place of butter. I also switched from canned to frozen vegetables to control portion sizes so that we wouldn't be encouraged to eat the left over amounts of prepared food just because
it was there. I continued to set goals for myself and completed a second challenge, finishing at 127lbs wearing size 1 pants. Balancing schedules with my husband, I managed to make it to the gym at least 4 days a week if not the 6 that I wanted. I allowed myself breaks from my routine spanning
anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks to enjoy time as a family, but kept the staying power to return to the gym when my break was up. The most significant advancement I made along the way was encouraging and convincing my husbant to join me. It was an advancement for me because I found it to be very motivating working with him and my weights lifted have increased tremendously with him there. We are currently working on what is my third challenge and his first. We are now competing as a couple! Instead of leaving him at home every day, he joined the gym and we now go together six days a week! Teaming up with my
husband has made yet another one of my dreams come true. I have finally found a balance between the two main things competing for my time, the two things I love the most, working out and spending time with my family. The two hours I spend at the gym, my husband and I now enjoy that time together, and when we are finished we take the kids to the park on the way home. Uniting the family through fitness has been a dream come true in and of itself. 5. Moving forward and knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently? Knowing what I know now about fitness and the way the body responds to the things you eat and do, I wouldn't have allowed myself to get to the point I was durning and in between my pregnancies. I see now that a lot of my
health issues were a result of my own unhealthy living and could have been avoided if I just applied myself earlier. 6. What would you have done the same way, and will continue to do, going forward? If I had to do it all over again I would continue to hit each workout with the same burning desire to change and the same commitment to intensity. I would especially have included my husband. Doing it over I would have
included him sooner. There are so many positive changes popping up in our
life as a result of including the family in fitness. I will continue to keep that part of my life open to my husband and children as they grow older. It certainly benefits us all. 7. Do you feel that ongoing feedback and motivational tools would help in maintaining a fitness program? I feel ongoing feedback and motivational tools are a critical part of maintaining a fitness program. If you're not much of a people person journals and pictures can give the feedback needed to keep going. I used the timer on my camera and took most of my pictures myself. Pictures can be very inspiring because they are the closest honest description we can get of
what others see of us. I found that mirrors don't quite capture a person the way that a picture does. Another great source of inspirational feedback
is to team up with someone. Allow yourself to be pushed by them and them by you. A support system is very motivational. If you can, bring it into the family. A fit parent is setting an excellent example for children and pushing yourself that hard next to your spouce will introduce to them a new
respect for you. It can also open up the lines of communication and trust a little more as well. Working out with your partner can definitely bring you closer. 8. If you were to advise a close friend or family member hot to follow in your fitness footsteps, what would you tell them? If I was to advise someone of how to follow in my fitness footsteps I would tell them to above all stay in touch with how they truly feel about themselves and their desire to grow and improve. Hit every workout like it is the only thing they have to do, the only thing standing in the way of them and their dreams, because in reality it is. I would tell them not to sell themselves short by setting a goal of what they think they can achieve. They need to cling to their actual dream because they have no idea yet just how much they CAN achieve. And please give the same level of commitment to excellence that they would to perhaps a best friend or their job, to themselves. Be that committed to yourself, and give yourself enough time to see the results. Don't give up! After you see those results but are not quite to your goal yet, don't settle. Don't give up. And once you reach that goal, to keep those results, don't give up. I tell people all the time that they don't have to be who they have become, they can become who they want to be. If you are not happy with who you are, become someone else, it's that easy. And above all else, don't give up! Thanks, Angela and congratulations on your success.

What are all the Services Movers Provide?
By Flemming Andersen When you are preparing for a move, you will find that there are a lot of details that have to be taken care of. You will have a lot of preparations to handle for the big day and it will take a lot of time for one or two people to handle. Most people find it a lot easier to hire movers to take care of all these things for them. Movers can make it a lot less stressful for everyone involved. Movers can usually be found in most areas. In some companies, they will provide different services. There are some movers that do more and others that only provide minimal services. You will need to decide what you are looking for in the moving company that you hire. Think about all the things that you are going to need done and what you are going to be willing to pay for. Some moving companies only provide the transportation part of the move. This means that you will have to do all the packing and the wrapping. For some of the companies, you will even have to load the boxes and packages up on the truck. This may not be what a lot of people want in their moving company. They may expect the movers that they hire to do all the work for them in order to make their life easier. If this is the case, you should look for movers that provide all the services of moving. This will include the wrapping of items, boxing them up, loading and unloading the truck and driving to the new location. A lot of people want this full service in their moving companies. For this service, however, you are going to have to pay more for the cost. In the long run, it is usually worth the expense. Most movers will even go the extra mile to pack one room at a time and then they will label them and put them in the rooms that they belong in the new house. This great time saving step will help a lot of people with the unpacking in the new home. When you know what is in each box and where it goes, you will save a lot of time and work in the end. Some movers even have storage units available for the customer to store their unwanted items. This great feature will be a big help in most moves. This step will let you store the items that you do not want or cannot use in the new home. You will not have the bother of trying to find room for them. The items will be safely packed away in a storage container until you want them. This will also cost extra, but it again is worth the cost when it comes to making things a lot easier for your move.

Abdominal Liposuction - When Diets Don't Work
By Seth Miller Abdominal liposuction refers to liposuction, or lipoplasty, that is performed on the torso area. Most candidates for this procedure have attempted a diet and exercise routine but are unable to achieve their goal of a flatter stomach. It is very common that fat deposits in the abdominal area are difficult to diminish, especially in women after childbirth. The abdominal area is generally one of the best areas of the body for this type of cosmetic surgery. However, as with most cosmetic surgeries, abdominal liposuction is generally not considered medically necessary and risk factors should be considered. Many abdominal liposuction surgeries are performed using the tumescent technique. This method involves injecting a solution of local anesthetics into area to be treated. The fluids help the area to swell, leaving an opening where the liposuction tube can be easily inserted and navigated. With this technique the risks of blood loss and general anesthesia are eliminated and recovery time may well be reduced. Many doctors claim that recipients of the tumescent method can often return to work in as little as three days. Many factors are taken into consideration when a patient requests abdominal liposuction. In the case of women who have given birth, pregnancy often leaves pouches of fat in the abdominal area that are seemingly resistant to diet and exercise. According to physicians, most women who have this type of liposuction performed are happy with the results and very few require an additional tummy-tuck. Abdominal liposuctions are also very effective in eliminating the bulge associated with C-sections and hysterectomies. Another factor to consider is the location of the body fat. Physicians refer to the two types of abdominal fat as superficial and deep. Superficial body fat is the fat that exists between the muscle tissue and the surface skin. Deep (or intestinal) fat resides below the muscle tissue and is actually located on the intestines. While liposuction can effectively remove fat that is superficial, it is not possible to remove intestinal body fat with this method. This type of fat can only be removed by diet and exercise no surgical procedure is safe or available to remove deep fat. The good news for patients is that most people have much more superficial fat than deep fat, thereby greatly increasing the success rate for abdominal liposuction. Some factors that influence results include prior obesity, gender, and age. In the case of recent obesity and weight loss, the fat is very fibrous and is very difficult to remove. Those over the age of 60 tend to have more elastic, less firm skin, thereby making liposuction difficult, and may not achieve the desired outcome. Since women tend to have less fibrous fat pockets than men, abdominal liposuction is usually easier to perform on women. The key to obtaining desired results and feeling satisfied with the surgery is to be comfortable and knowledgable about all aspects of the procedure. Liposuction Info provides comprehensive information on the costs of standard, tumescent, and abdominal liposuction, before and after information, liposuction alternatives, and more. Liposuction Info is the sister site of Tummy Tuck Web.

Mobile Phone Games - Look How Far They've Come
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mark_Hirst]Mark Hirst Only a few years ago, the world of mobile phone gaming was a completely different affair to today, and all that was available to play were simple puzzle games like Snake and versions of Tetris, however, with the increasing adoption of Java as a universal programming language for different devices, you can now get a huge variety of different mobile phone games to play on your mobile wherever you are, and whatever kind of gaming you are into. From puzzle games to role playing games, the range is almost endless, and almost any major console game that comes out is now ported across to work on most modern handsets. Thanks to the increasingly powerful processors of these modern mobile phones, and the large screens that they boast, it is increasingly the case that the mobile phone is rivalling the Nintendo Gameboy and Sony PSP as the ideal means to play games on the go. Buying games for your mobile phone has never been simpler. There are dozens of companies that offer the latest games for most handsets, and these can be downloaded straight onto the phone from the supplier. The cost is really cheap too, games for mobile phones generally only cost a couple of pounds, compared to prices of around 20 for games for portable consoles. The quality of the games is fast improving, with high quality graphics and compelling game play now standard across the range, and as long as you keep up to date with your handset, you can always enjoy the latest titles in some form or another. There are still a few drawbacks to playing games on a mobile rather than a dedicated console, such as the way the keys are laid out making it a little difficult to get the same kind of interaction that is available on a console, although the Nokia N-Gage handled this well, and it is likely to be equally well addressed in the future thanks to the growing importance of games on mobile platforms to the industry as a whole. The lines between different gadgets are quickly being blurred to make the world of the mobile phone an increasingly large one. They are already competing with digital cameras, MP3 Players, and even PDAs when it comes to what they can do, and as the games mature, there is no doubt that a mobile phone will increasingly become the platform of choice for developers who want to reach a larger audience with their games.

Can You Prevent Depression?
By Jean Morgan Depression. It can affect anyone of any age. Young, old, male or female, it doesn't play favorites. There is no single cause for depression. It tends to run in families and can be triggered by certain events. Stress is a big factor in the development of depression. But can you prevent depression from happening to you? This article will give you a few suggestions on how to prevent depression. The best way to prevent depression is to learn to battle your stress. Everyone faces stressors in their lives and we all must learn to deal with them. So when you are faced with a stressful situation, slow down and take a deep breath. Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale out through your mouth. Fill your lungs with as much oxygen as possible, but remember to breathe slow. Deep breathing will help you to relax and can help to lower your blood pressure and pulse rate. Eat a healthy diet and don't skip meals. Have a healthy snack in between meals. This will keep your body and brain functioning at their best. It is also important that you get plenty of sleep. Most people need at least eight hours a night. Getting enough sleep will help you feel rejuvenated and be ready to tackle almost anything. Get organized and plan every thing. Have a list of goals and when you want to accomplish them. Plan your week and break it down to what you are going to do each day. Get your finances in order. Take proactive steps to pay off credit card debts and other debts. Spend time with the ones you love by going to a movie or out to dinner. Learn to say no and don't let people take advantage of you. These things can go a long way in relieving stress in your daily life. Develop a method of meditation. This can be in the form of yoga or prayer. Search for the spiritual side of yourself. Having a spiritual side can make you feel more grounded and relaxed. Meditation can lower your heart rate, blood pressure and stress hormone level. Stop worrying. This is easier said than done, but do your best to control your worrying. Do not try to be perfect with everything and don't procrastinate. Take care of problems right away. It gets you no where to sit and worry about your problems, when you could be using that time looking for ways to solve your problems. Finally, start an exercise program. Exercise will release endorphins and other chemicals in your brain that can enhance your mood. Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. If you follow the above tips you may be able to prevent depression. Everyone is different and some people may still need medication even if they try the above measures. There is no shame in needing to take a medication for your depression and the ones on the market these days are fairly safe. Talk to your doctor and follow his guidance.

Stopping Colds in Their Tracks
By Jim Huffman We all know the nasty sensation of coming down with a cold: when you feel like your head is stopped up, when your nose is constantly running, and when nothing tastes right. Most of what we call colds are technically known rhinitis, and are caused by various micro-organisms settling on nasal or throat surfaces, and the bodys reacting to them. When your nose is running, your body is trying to get rid of those organisms. The important thing is to let the body get rid of the junk. People are always trying to avoid sneezing, runny noses, and congestion. But the problem is that they are often treating the symptoms, and not the problem itself. Water treats the problem. Make sure you have plenty of water to let the body do its job. One of the reasons the old advice (Rest, and get plenty of liquids!) was good advice was you could have time to let the body work on getting rid of whatever is causing problems. If you take something to stop your runny nose, all youve done is give yourself a dry (and usually sore) throat, and prevent the body from blowing out whats causing the problem. Its not easy to conduct a business meeting if youre nose is constantly running. Its not easy to teach if youre constantly sneezing. But those are some of the ways your body is trying to cure you. If you possibly can, take some time off, rest, and you will recover much faster. Your body will be going through a great deal of water, and you need to replenish it frequently. Its easy to forget how much liquid goes out in a runny nose (and probably not something you want to ponder a lot, either!) And every time you sneeze, your body loses water.
So a good rule of thumb is for every time you sneeze or blow your nose, drink some water. Every time. Now the problem is that most folks just dont feel like eating when they have a bad cold. Neither do they feel like drinking. So you may have to fool your body into thinking that youre drinking something special thats not just the water it needs. The easiest way is to slice a lemon (or lime) and put a slice into your glass. Unlike sugar and other things we are prone to add to water, the trace of lemon adds nothing but taste: no calories, no caffeine, and no carbohydrates. Another trick is to heat the water. Thats right: serve up plain, hot water in a special cup, and maybe jazz it up with lemon, too. And as long as youre drinking your quota of 20 glasses of water a day, theres no reason you cant enjoy some other liquids. Hot broth, juices (though not too much: your body needs a rest from digesting, too!) and hot teas can be enjoyable, and help alleviate the boredom. If youre drinking tea, you might want to go with herbal, decaffeinated teas. I have nothing against caffeine, when used in moderation, and I drink caffeinated tea almost every day. But when you are sick (whether from a cold, or from something else) allow your body to clear out some of the corridors. Dont give it the extra task of dealing with caffeine ... at least not now. The important thing is to keep consuming liquids. Your body may be cleansing out some toxins, and it needs fluids to do that job. Monitor factors such as the color of your urine. If the urine is a dark or brownish color, you need more liquids. (A rule of thumb is that urine should be a light straw color. If its darker, immediately drink down 2 glasses of water).

Wedding Minister Who Can Dance & Celebrate!
By Paul Davis Who said wedding ministers can't be creative, dance, and celebrate? Mr. Miagee on the movie Karate Kid said, "Never trust a spiritual leader who can't dance." The last wedding I officiated, after the dinner everybody headed to the dance floor. Many were surprised to see me the wedding minister dancing and rejoicing. Though I got many compliments for the wedding ceremony I performed and was warmly received by everyone, I guess dancing is not the norm for most traditional religious guys. As for me, I believe a wedding is meant to be an unforgettable celebration to be enjoyed by all. Therefore I did not hold back and went straight out to the dance floor with my wife in hand. We had a blast dancing beneath the stars, while we soaked up the cool spring breeze. The Bible exhorts us to dance, make merry, and rejoice in the Lord. We should praise the Lord with every available instrument holding nothing back. Let everything that has breath rejoice in the Creator (Psalm 149). The joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). That being said it is right and proper that we should exuberantly celebrate every wedding with joy and dancing. Jesus performed His first miracle at the wedding in Cana, where He turned water into wine (John 2). A couple deserves to have a personalized and creatively tailor made ceremony. Anything less is average and borders mediocrity. A wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event that should be extraordinary in every detail, the most important being the minister who officiates and speaks to the hearts of all present. Paul Davis is a wedding minister who officiates marriage ceremonies and vow renewals. Paul has been in ministry for over 15 years, blessing people around the world. He has traveled to over 50 countries and 6 continents having a worldwide impact. As a relational coach, Paul's compassion for people and passion for transformation makes him very successful. His depth, understanding, experiential wisdom, and disarming sense of humor makes Paul a personal favorite of many couples. Highly celebrated and sought after, Paul has authored several books including Breakthrough for a Broken Heart and Are You Ready for True Love? Pauls organization Dream-Maker Ministries is making a difference throughout the world building dreams, breaking limitations, and reviving nations. Pauls interpersonal and unprecedented experience engineering breakthroughs for individuals and organizations is revolutionary. Contact Paul to officiate your wedding and more!

Liquid Waistline
By John Fairchild On the basis of calories in versus calorie out what you drink might be a primary indicator of what you carry around your waist. A new analysis What America Drinks suggests that beverage choices could play a key role against Americans battle of the ever-increasing bulge. What America Drinks report states that Americans consume about 500 beverage calories per day. Calories from sweetened beverages, such as soda, fruit flavored drinks, alcohol, pre-sweetened iced teas and sport/energy drinks can account for one quarter of your total calories per day and do not supply your body with the satisfaction it is looking for. A regular glass of wine, for example, carries approximately 120 calories, sport drinks/sodas can magically hold 200 calories, pub beers also hold about 200 calories and hard liquor has about 70 calories per ounce, which equates to the size of a small shot glass. These liquid calories do not provide the vital nutrients that aide in healthier bodies. Most of you may not compensate for drinking your calories by eating less. Because liquid calories typically do not satisfy our hunger you may continue to eat your normal portion size. The report suggests that most adults drank soda or another calorie rich beverage more often than a healthier milk product. It also suggests that Americans who drank more milk and less nutrient poor beverages tended to weigh less than those who drank milk regardless of overall calorie intake. Another independent study found that when a calorie beverage was consumed with a meal there was not a reduction in total food volume intake and the beverage calories added on to the calories from food, which resulted in a larger total caloric meal. This is a similar finding from many studies on portion size awareness. The more food that is placed in front of us the more is consumed. Subjects from this study reported that they did not feel more full by adding caloric beverages to a meal. Subjects also reported that the more beverages they were served they more they drank. The psychology of these various studies seem to be redundant---the larger the plate or glass the more you consume. Think small to help control your waist line. Side note: According to the American Beverage Association, the average American consumes over a gallon of soft drinks per day. 7-Elevens bestseller, the Double Big Gulp, contains a whopping 800 calories.
