Can You Lose Weight from Hula Hooping?
Do you remember hula hooping back when we were kids? Guess what, hula hoops is not only for kids. You can Hula Hoop your way to fitness.
You might not have known this, but the Hula Hoop was created in 1958 by Arthur K. Melin, he got the idea from an Australian company who made wooden rings which were sold in retail stores. Although the Hula Hoop trademark was only registered in 1962, people had already started playing with hoops as early as 1000 BC!
The Hula Hoop craze took off from 1958 and died down in the sixties. Now it is slowly gaining popularity again, thanks to those who are fitness conscious among us. And what a great workout it is to lose those belly fats and tone up those hips and thighs.

Calorie Shift to Lose Weight? Of Course!
May 24th, 2008 by Alan Tan
If you are struggling to lose weight or know someone who is, you will understand the frustration and disappointment of losing weight, only to gain it back shortly after. Many of the fad diets promises quick weight loss, what they do not tell you is that they come with quick weight gain as well.
The reason this happens is because with many fad diets, you are required to eat so little calories or avoid an entire food group all together. I’m sure you know that you cannot last forever eating such low levels of calories or entirely avoid carbs or fats. A ‘lucky’ few of us will reach our ideal weight and decide to stop the torturing diets, however many are not so lucky and have given up either in sheer frustration or have taken ill from the drastic diet change.

May 24th, 2008 by Alan Tan
If you are one of those people, that have tried all the fad diets and miracle pills yet still are unable to lose weight. Have you ever asked this question: “What am I doing wrong?”
The answer to that question, is dieting! Dieting can help you lose weight is a big fat (pun intended) lie!
“Diet is DIE with a T”, Garfield.

What happens when you diet is this, you eat very food, when your body do not get enough food it goes into ’starvation mode’, and when operating in this mode, your body stores fat instead of what you want it to do.

The Fastest / Quickest Way To Lose Weight Safely - Calorie Shifting!
May 24th, 2008 by Alan Tan
The current fastest way for you to lose weight or burn fat is of course by taking some form of dieting pills. There are thousands of such products already on sale, with more being made as you are reading this. Some of these products do work in helping you lose significant weight when you start taking them. However, the likely outcome is that you would have to continue taking them to keep from gaining the weight back. Now if you ask me, it is all a scam from the companies that manufacture these weight loss pills to keep you “hooked” on them. Once you stop and start gaining back the weight, what would you do? Buy more pills to continue to lose weight or at least stop from gaining back the weight you’ve lost.\
Eat Less? Low Calorie? Low Carb? They DON’T Work, Not For Long at Least
May 24th, 2008 by Alan Tan
You should be familiar with this question from those around you, “Why don’t you eat less?” Yes, I know, it’s frustrating. They do not understand that you are not going to lose weight simply by eating less. If it were that easy, a search on the term “weight loss” will not return tens of millions of results on Google. The common misconception is that to lose weight, you have to eat less calories than you burn. However, this is not true. What actually happens when you eat less or lower your intake of calories or carb, your body goes into starvation mode. Thinking that you are starving, your body conserves whatever intake of calories and carb afraid that it might not get anymore. The result? All these are stored as fats, your body’s energy reserve. It simply uses less and stores more.
