There are many products available on the Internet for the purpose of helping you to lose weight. Many different programs and diets are available and the information that they provide is basically sound. But few, if any, take a scientific approach to weight loss or "fat burning". As with everything else, knowledge is power. To know why a body puts on weight (and keeps it on) is a big advantage in the quest to lose weight.
Of course, it is important to have an active lifestyle and to have some form of regular exercise or activity (even if it's just walking) for a healthy heart and good circulation. And exercise is an important part of "staying in shape".
But one of the main reasons why we put on weight, (and it stays on) seems to have been ignored by many of the weight-loss vendors and professionals. An important part of the fat-burning process is the release of fat-burning hormones, which is controlled by the brain. There are basically 2 types of hormones, and they are released after each meal. One controls fat burning and one controls fat storage.
These hormones can be manipulated, so that more of the fat-burning hormones, and less of the fat-storage hormones are produced after each meal. To follow this plan and take advantage of these principles, you would need to eat more than 3 meals a day. Most people would be surprised to hear this - I suppose we are conditioned to believe that food is the main problem, or that it's "the enemy". But that's wrong - food is not the enemy. In fact, if the correct food is eaten, it is the main weapon that can be used in the war against overweight. The technique is known as "calorie shifting" and this is achieved by eating specific foods on certain days. The creators of this program seem to have a good understanding of how food is processed by the body and how the whole fat storage/fat burning process works.
And it is possible to see results from this system in a short space of time. After 11 days you can lose 9 pounds. It's hard to believe that such fast results are possible, but it has been proven again and again. If you have been struggling with weight loss, it could be the answer that you are looking for. There are so many people who struggle with trying to lose weight and they are basically doing the same things over and over, and hoping for a different result.
But the chances are you have not come across a weight-loss program like this one before. And one of the strong points in favour of it is, it's just so different from anything else that's available. It gets to the root of the fat-burning issue and it works. It's known as "Fat Loss 4 Idiots" and you can check it out at the Weight Loss Review site below.

Can The Gym Prevent Muscle Gain or Fat Loss?

Japan is a nation that whole-heartedly throws itself into fads. As Japan continues the long march from post World War II and postwar hunger toward greater and greater problems with metabolic syndrome and obesity, more and more Japanese are interested in diets. Like many dieters in the United States and around the world, many Japanese are looking for a quick way to lose weight. Lifestyle change involving more exercising, better dietary habits and fewer calories appear to be far from the minds and actions of many people interested in losing weight. Instead, people are searching for the magic bullet. Recent years have seen diet fads focusing on bananas, natto, and agar.

The Banana Diet Fad and Other Fad Diets in Japan - By: Tom Aaron
Japan is a nation that whole-heartedly throws itself into fads. As Japan continues the long march from post World War II and postwar hunger toward greater and greater problems with metabolic syndrome and obesity, more and more Japanese are interested in diets. Like many dieters in the United States and around the world, many Japanese are looking for a quick way to lose weight. Lifestyle change involving more exercising, better dietary habits and fewer calories appear to be far from the minds and actions of many people interested in losing weight. Instead, people are searching for the magic bullet. Recent years have seen diet fads focusing on bananas, natto, and agar.
The banana diet has been the most recent. Living under a rock, just like Homer Simpson, I didn't realize how pervasive the banana diet fad was until I stopped by at a local supermarket to buy some bananas. They are usually piled high in bunches of five, six, seven, or eight bananas. Instead I was greeted by the sight of a few bunches, each with three bruised and browning bananas wrapped together in plastic wrap. A large sign over these few lonely banana bunches read only one bunch per customer. I bought some apples instead.
The banana diet was based on eating bananas with room water temperature in the morning and whatever you want during the rest of the day. A pharmacist designed the banana diet for her husband. He lost weight and posted the diet information on Mixi, the social networking service. The banana diet boom exploded. Bananas were rocketing off the shelves and prices went up. I ate fewer bananas for a while. Then, banana consumption seemed to decrease. Now I can easily buy bananas.
Before the banana diet fad was the natto diet fad, propelled into fame by appearing on a television. The television show claimed that natto was the magic bullet. Natto, which is fermented bean paste, is very healthy food, but the TV program made even greater claims. Eat two packs of natto, the first in the morning and the second in the evening, and that would be enough. People could lose weight without any other work. Exercise was not necessary, nor were any changes in diet. The claim was this was all made possible by the isoflavones in natto and something else that caused DHEA secretion. Natto sold out at supermarkets all over Japan.
The natto diet began to fade when the true story emerged: the program simply made up the story. The actual science behind the story was fabricated as was the study that the program claimed to have conducted.
Before the truly amazing and incredible natto diet was the truly incredible and amazing agar diet. Agar is a gelatinous substance that comes from seaweed. You can use agar to make jellies, custards and more. Approximately 80% of agar is fiber. If you eat agar, it triples in size and absorbs water. The agar diet simply required eating a dish of jelly made from agar before each meal. The agar diet also came from same television show as the amazing natto diet.
Going back in time before the agar diet or forward in time from the banana diet will certainly produce another amazing diet. Bananas, natto, and agar all offer health benefits, but none was the magic bullet. Still, hope lives on and millions of people still watch television programs about health and diets, waiting for the next grand solution to the world's weight problem. Who knows? A real magic bullet could be just around the corner.
