Amazing Weight Loss Results in Only 12 Weeks? The Summer Transformation Challenge Review
By Michelle T Green Platinum Quality Author

If you're a woman and you want to lose weight, then you had better read this right now because I have found a way to see amazing weight loss results in as little as 12 weeks.

I came across the Fit Yummy Mummy program a little while ago and I was intrigued. The program was aimed at women (mainly mothers) who wanted to get fit and lose weight and even just tone up.

I purchased the program and was impressed with the quality. The meal planner was simple and easy to follow, the exercises were challenging but fun to do (and there wasn't a lot I had to do either!) and the support was by far it's strength. I have had so many messages from wonderful women from all over the world, offering me encouragement and advice - it's wonderful!

Several weeks ago I received an email from Holly Rigsby (the Fit Yummy Mummy herself) with a link to vote on the latest 12 Week Transformation Challenge finalists. There was a before and an after photo of each woman, and a link to their story, which talked about their weight loss journey over the past 12 weeks.

I looked at the photos and was amazed - these results were achieved in only 12 weeks!! How could this be? They weren't all in their 20's either (as I originally thought). I remember reading of at least 2 or 3 women who were in their 40's! They looked fantastic and obviously felt it too.

It was then that I decided that I might join the next challenge, and that's exactly what I did last Friday night!

I am in week 1 of the challenge and as part of my membership I have access to a fabulous online menu planner that calculates my calories and vitamin intake. It also tells me if I'm having too much or too little of something - it's great!

Also, there are other resources, like audios, videos and of course the women at ClubFYM are there to support me all the way. It's a program I recommend to ANY woman who wants to lose weight (even if you don't have kids - there are plenty of women on the site who don't have any!).

To be eligible to win the great prizes on offer, I need to enter my progress at least every week, telling the other challengers what exercises I have done and how I'm going in general. Kind of like a way to stay accountable, which is a great motivator!

At the end we will be judged and the winner walks away with a gift card valued at $1000!

If you want to enter the Fit Yummy Mummy 12 Week Summer Transformation Challenge, you only have until July 31 so hurry and click on the links below to learn how you can join too.

If you are desperate to lose weight quickly, then here's what you must do right now...

Visit overweightandunhappy.com and take a look at the weight loss programs featured. Find out how men and women from all over the world have achieved amazing weight loss results in only weeks!

All you need to do is follow the same sensible and simple weight loss strategies and you will also see results within weeks!

Review - Does the Fit Yummy Mummy Program Really Work?
By Tracy Shaffer Platinum Quality Author

My Fit Yummy Mummy review will explain what I've learned. The basic claim of Fit Yummy Mummy is you'll get help taking off the baby weight and return to a flat stomach after the baby is born. Holly's book is geared to help you have a toned and reshaped body, plus a plan for losing inches and fat, have increased energy, and start loving your life. The best part is the claim that you'll also regain your self confidence when you start reshaping and sculpting yourself.

So the big question is does it work? Holly's Fit Yummy Mummy program comes with a basis in good nutritional principles. If you adopt her ideas, you will definitely lose that baby weight. However, there is no magic wand here - you have to commit to the program. If you follow Holly's recommendations, and are totally committed to changing your eating habits as well as working out daily, you'll be able to have a leaner and fitter version of your body.

Holly has started the book with a goal setting section, as it's absolutely crucial that you are aware of what you want to achieve. Then she starts to cover some very important basic information about your metabolism. Next section is where she gets into the real meat of this program - the food. Her program is about changing your lifestyle by basing it on clean, whole food. There's no way you'll be hungry with this plans as she encourages eating about every 3-3 1/2 hours.

The nutrition plan is simple to follow as you decide ahead, and chart out, what you plan to eat in advance, so it's totally complete. She even suggests you cook meals ahead of time so you are out of the kitchen more. One section of the book covers eating out, cheat meals and snacks, and gives details as to WHY following this plan like a road map will help you to reach whatever weight loss goals you have.

What impresses me with this program is the fact it's not just a recipe for deprivation. Holly manages to clarify how you can eat healthy at restaurants and stay on track. She manages to explain how it's not about banishing certain foods, but be mindful of your eating, and WHY it's important to stay away from junk food. The "slip-ups" section is incredible as it describes why there's no need to panic if you screw-up, and what will put you back on track almost immediately when you do.

I was thrilled with the section on alternatives food to choose for snacks instead of the usual junk food. Since we're talking a program to change your lifestyle, you won't find any gimmicky ideas (no liquid diets, strange foods, or punishment). The nutritional section is not only applicable, but solid as well. I could go into my kitchen at anytime and remake any meals without having to break a sweat.

Now we're on to the workout program (where the goal is to be breaking a sweat). I appreciated Holly's explanation of why being the "cardio queen" is actually not a good thing, and what you can do to change that. She describes how resistance training is the key to achieving that leaner, fitter body you, and everyone else, is hoping to have (and she set a great example that it works as she looks fabulous herself).

You will see this workout plan is actually a highly effective "interval-based" training program. You can fine-tune the 16 week workout schedule, which is based on 4 different formats, so it is in line with your personal goals as well. While it may look a bit complicated to start with, once you hit the section of photos of Holly doing the exercises, you'll see it's not hard. I would suggest printing this part so you'll have it to refer to as needed.

One of the great things you'll find in the workout section is how easily you can do these exercises with minimal equipment and time, so they'll fit well in your already overloaded schedule. The great thing is you can do these workouts with just a mat, a bench or step, simple dumbbells, swiss ball and medicine ball. Compared to bulky gym equipment, this is a minimal amount of equipment to give you lots of results.

The index lists your goal setting worksheets: how to create your own workout journal, information about food labels, sample menus, survival tips for grocery shopping, a fat loss troubleshooting checklist, as well as a load of extra exercise within an archive of full instructions.

There are also a ton of bonuses included in this program. Holly has included 9 BONUS ebooks: Fast Easy meals, a cellulite cure, Meal Plans 101, a 7 Minute Quick Start Guide, 6 Minutes Circuit Workouts, the New Mom's Jumpstart, the Dress Size Reduction Diet, the Stylish Mom ebook, as well as an additional Nutrition Guide. Also included is an audio book about how to get organized to include fitness in your daily routine without losing your mind in the process.

The bottom line - this is a total package that will change your shape and give you a lean, fit body to be proud of.

The Downsides:

This is not going to be an effortless program. It is definitely simple, but it really does require commitment. Your goal is to put yourself in the best possible shape you've ever been. While this is not an easy goal, you can reach it! Holly does a great job of providing all the tools you'll need, but it's up to you to comply with this program to the letter.

I strongly encourage you to consider this plan as the best way to lose your pregnancy weight. Holly Rigsby has created a totally thorough plan that you will absolutely benefit from it you commit to the plan and following every detail of it.

I certainly hope you have found this Fit Yummy Mummy Review to be of help. If you are looking to lose your pregnancy pounds, I highly recommend you check out the Fit Yummy Mummy Program for yourself.

How Much Exercise to Lose Weight? What You Can Do to Effectively Lose Weight
By Michelle T Green Platinum Quality Author

"How much exercise to lose weight?" You ask. Believe it or not, it may actually be less than you think!

In this article I am going to talk about what I've been doing whilst on the Fit Yummy Mummy program. Before I started this program I thought that the more cardio I did, the more weight I would lose.

How wrong I was!

I'm going to talk now about what I do in the way of exercise to lose weight:

1. I do 15 minutes a day, 3 days a week of resistance training.

Resistance training involves using your body weight (or even free weights) to strengthen and build muscle. No, I'm not going to look big and bulky because women just aren't built for that, but men might go that way if they follow a good program!

The types of exercises I might do (this isn't an exhaustive list - you will need to check out the programs on my site if you want to know what you can do) are:

- Squats (different variations)
- Lunges ("normal" lunges and reverse lunges)
- Pushups
- Bench press and other exercises using dumbells
- Step ups
- Various core exercises

Of course I don't do all of these in one go. My routine only goes for 15 minutes, so I might do 6 exercises in that time with reps of 6-12 depending on the type of exercise (and how much it hurts!).

The Fit Yummy Mummy program takes you through every exercise with step by step instructions. If you upgrade to the premium package, you even get videos!

2. I do 15 minutes a day, 3 days a week of intervals.

Intervals are great! They're effective - even more effective than doing steady state cardio! So if you're thinking that 30 minutes to an hour on the treadmill is going to do you any good, think again! Try 15 minutes of intervals and you will see much better results! Also, you will have more time to do other things!

My intervals might work like this:

3 minute warm up (if I haven't done resistance training on that day).
30 seconds high intensity
1 minute low intensity

I sometimes jump rope for the high intensity then walk on the spot for low. You can also try running (or even sprinting) for high, then walking for low.

Again, if you decide to purchase either of the programs featured on the site below, you will learn exactly what you need to do.

And that's all I do. That's a total of 90 minutes a week. I can do 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, or 15 minutes a day, 6 times a week. As long as you do 15 minutes of each type of exercise, 3 times a week, then you will start to see results (in only 3 weeks I had lost weight and noticed some definition in my arms and legs - amazing!).

If you are desperate to lose weight quickly, then here's what you must do right now...

Visit overweightandunhappy.com and sign up for the free weight loss ecourse.

If you're looking for a weight loss program that will help you to lose weight quickly and easily, then you will find the perfect programs here too. Check them out and make sure you read the testimonials - the before and after photos say it all!

In no time you will have the body you only ever dreamed of having - if others like you can do it, then why can't you?

Want to Lose Weight? How Not Eating Enough Can Cause You to Gain Weight!
By Michelle T Green Platinum Quality Author

Yes, you read it right. Not eating enough can cause you to gain weight, not lose weight! If you want to lose weight, then this can come as quite a surprise.

Why is this so?

It has everything to do with your metabolism. The higher your metabolism, the more fat your body burns. If you have a low metabolism, then of course the amount of fat your body burns is reduced.

Skipping meals or not eating enough actually helps your body to become really good at storing fat. Why? Because it needs to, in case it is starved again in future! Your body needs fuel to work properly, so if you don't provide it with enough, it will take as much as it can the next time you feed it and store it as fat so it will have fuel the next time it is starved of food.

Sounds logical, doesn't it? So how do we effectively lose weight?

First you need to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (or BMR). The formula to help you calculate this is in the Weight Loss Tips section of the website below.

Once you have worked this out, it's time to start completing a food diary. Write down what you are eating and the quantities consumed. From there you can work out whether you're consuming enough.

A great way to increase your metabolic rate is to eat more often. Eat around 5 to 6 times a day, spreading your calories out over the day, and you will see a huge difference.

Another way to tell if you're eating enough calories is to check your energy levels. If you're feeling like you have no energy or you're making no progress in your fitness program, then it's very likely because you're not eating enough.

Most importantly, most of your calories should be coming from fruit and vegetables. If you're eating a lot of fried or processed foods, these could be sabotaging your weight loss regime, so try to reduce these types of foods as much as you possibly can or even cut them out completely.

So remember, eat at least 5 to 6 times a day, make sure you're eating enough (based on your BMR) and eat as much quality foods as you can. The Fit Yummy Mummy program below takes you through everything you need to know about what to eat to lose weight!

If you really want to lose weight, then here's what you must do right now...

Visit http://overweightandunhappy.com and make sure you take advantage of the free offers available, including the free weight loss ecourse.

Does Eating Yogurt Burn More Fat?
By Holly Rigsby

Is there TRUTH in Foods that Speed Up Fat Loss?

"Holly, I happened to come across an article about a lady who successfully lost weight in a course of one year.....The article was interesting alright but the key point which sparked my interest in that, was that she mentioned that having low fat cottage cheese or low fat yogurt just before going to sleep really helped in boosting the metabolism and hence weight loss......

Coupled with this is another article I read in the internet which stated that consuming about 3 six ounce servings of low fat yogurt daily would reduce stomach fat by about 60-80%. Now I would take that statement with a pinch of salt, but on reading both articles I seem to feel there might be at least some level of truth in both."

The quick and matter of fact answer is...There is no ONE magic, metabolism, fat burning food. In the process of fat loss, foods do not actually burn fat.

Fat loss occurs when you burn slightly more calories than what you take in. You can achieve this ideal energy balance by boosting your metabolism though a combination of resistance training, intervals and supportive nutrition.

For the example you posted - There could be hundreds of reasons why this woman lost weight.

Let's break it down to be practical:

The articles states she lost about 4 Stones or 56 pounds in 12 months.

To lose "weight" you simply need to take in slight less than you burn. For her to lose 56 pounds in a year, she simply cut her calories back by about 500 a day. In one week, she lost about a pound, so if there are 52 weeks in a year it is realistic for her to lose 56 pounds. This is one way to explain it.

Now eating the yogurt before going to sleep may be only ONE way she cut back. This strategy may have helped her to not eat a 500 calorie serving of ice cream.

Plus protein based foods do have a higher thermic effect - meaning the processing of protein requires more energy thus burns more calories. This in turn would help keep her metabolism elevated and increase her feelings of feeling satisfied as she cut out a higher calorie, after dinner snack.

Plus, is she exercising? If there is ANY tip you can embrace that works like magic to boost your metabolism and burn more fat....it is to Get More Muscle.

Remember, muscle is your metabolism.

Any food that claims to boost your metabolism but there is no resistance plan in place - is short lived.

If she had a concern for her muscle and was performing resistance training, eating cottage cheese or a low fat, natural yogurt as the last meal of the day will actually help to keep the body fueled during sleep by providing a steady stream of healthy amino acids. These nutrients will be repairing muscles rather than the muscles be at risk of break down as we fast during sleep. This habit in turn keeps your metabolism slightly elevated while you sleep...if you have a concern for resistance training.

Lose weight with dairy? "Only if you're overweight, if you've been eating too little calcium, and if your weight-loss diet isn't too high in protein or too low in calories." says Michael Zemel, the author of the dairy-burns-fat studies. Two other studies have found no impact of dairy on weight. An FTC petition filed by PCRM, will end misleading claims made in the "Milk Your Diet. Lose Weight" and "3-A-Day. Burn More Fat, Lose Weight" promotions. In the FTC petition, PCRM charged that the dairy industry has used false and misleading advertising in its multi million-dollar, celebrity-filled marketing campaign suggesting that consuming milk and other dairy products causes weight loss.

Sure, yogurt (void of high fructose corn syrup) and cottage cheese it may have benefits - but in the big picture of Fat Loss it must work together with ALL the other fat loss habits.

Bottom Line: There are no quick, fix fat zapping foods. In the process of fat loss, you must be able to make changes to your overall eating habits and incorporate an effective workout plan.
