Extra fat is normally caused by over eating (or eating the ‘wrong’ foods) and lack of exercise. If you’re eating more calories than what you burn off during your usual everyday activities, then the surplus calories are stored in your body as fat. I think it’s important to understand the reasons for this extra fat so that it then becomes easier to understand how to lose extra fat.

The first and best advice I have, and this is from my own personal experience – is to drink heaps of water – it’s true, water really is the key to weight loss. I’m talking about 2 litres of water a day! Yep, it means you’ll be going to the bathroom more than normal, however, that doesn’t last too long. What is really happening is that your body is flushing itself of the water it has been storing throughout all those years of “survival mode”. It’s getting rid of all the stored water around your ankles, hips, thighs and maybe even your belly! So it’s a great thing and if you endure the initial extra bathroom trips for the first while, then eventually the ‘flushing’ will cease and you will return to normal.

It’s important to note – do not drink all the water at once. Set aside 3-4 times a day when you can drink a large glass, and then in-between that, always have a bottle of water with you to sip as you need.

Now, while drinking water isn’t the easiest or nicest thing to do at first, believe me – you do get used to it. Since marrying my husband 6 years ago, I became addicted to Coca Cola – it was the first thing I drank in the morning and then throughout the day! Seriously, I loved the stuff! I still do. However, when I stopped drinking it – for the first few days, yes I did crave it – and at those times I would take a sip of my husbands coke, but I soon got used to my bottled water, and now that’s pretty much all I drink! Since doing that, my husband has really inspired me with the compliments that come my way now from him! It’s those sort of things that are great motivators – when people notice you are looking better and losing weight.

So – drink water, cut down the bad stuff – you don’t need to fully stop eating it, there’s nothing wrong with little treats – but all in moderation. Ensure that you are having plenty of fresh fruit and veges and just exercise a little. You don’t need to be a hard out ‘gym bunny’ – we don’t all have that kind of money. But even if you go for a walk after work, or take the kids out to the park – walk, don’t drive. Take the stairs instead of the lift. Walk to the local shops instead of driving. If you have stairs at home – run up them instead of walking. All these things put together will help you out.

The statistics on our health in general are alarmingly scary: * 64% of people are overweight in the US * 48% of people in Europe are overweight * 27% of Americans are classified as obese * Obesity is responsible for over 325,000 deaths every year * 300 million people worldwide are obese * 750 million people worldwide are overweight

Time to stop this and get on the path of looking good and feeling good – so that YOUR husband/partner can say that YOU have a “popstar butt”!!!

It is the truth: Age discrimination is a fact of life in the corporate world.

The once handsome and debonair faces are drooping and that double chin is winning. The once beautiful face is amassing jowls and the resemblance to mother is developing.

This can be the poison pill in the corporate world because old faces can equate to old ideas. For more than twenty years psychologists and HR personnel studies demonstrate that appearance has a great deal to do with making more money and maintaining the status quo.

If you have experienced age discrimination, it’s all about the face because no one looks at your knees and tells you you’re too old, you may want to consider making simple lifestyle changes now before one or two incidents escalate into a serious matter.

There are only a few options when someone doesn’t like your face or your face does not support who you are:

• You can take your two or three week vacation, schedule a surgical procedure in hopes that by the time you are needed back at work, the healing of tissue and bruising will not be tell-tale evidence of your surgery.

• Fill your face with fillers to prop up lines and wrinkles and paralyze your forehead and the region around your eyes.

• Have strings inserted to temporarily hold up heavy cheeks and jowls.

Surgery and non-invasive procedures that involve injecting substances into your face, near your eyes and mouth may initially produce a younger looking face but you must ask yourself, “How many years do I have to do this?”

Is there sufficient testing of the substances to allay your fears of self-poisoning? What if these substances go the way of Vioxx, Rezulin or Seldane? These are only three of numerous drugs that have been removed after years of use when detrimental side-effects are known. This could indeed happen to injectable cosmetic fluids. Scary indeed. It is a fact that about half of new drugs are removed from the market or have significant warnings added to their labels within seven years of release.

The nip/tuck mentality has permeated the airwaves, slick publications and now the internet. Years past only those who were affected by accident or disease would consider having face work and that was in a medical capacity; now, even teenagers are targeted and marketed so they will adopt ideas into their psyche and words into their vocabulary that somehow makes it all okay for them to use plastic surgery and injections to alter themselves.

The irony is that even though surgeries and injections are on the rise, there are no guarantees that the procedures you choose will be successful. Even the most well-intentioned surgeries can go awry as evidenced at awfulplasticsurgery.com.

As a mature adult, looking healthier and younger is important and you do not have to risk your life to make it happen when you choose exercise over surgery and injections.

Consider this: Most plastic surgery procedures, including injections, will maybe shave off 5 to 10 years from your appearance. Each and every procedure is temporary so repeat procedures will be required. Pumping up your face with fillers and paralyzers year after year is an interesting concept and then supplementing with various surgical procedures may produce strange and freaky results.

That’s why exercise is beneficial for every face because you know what the outcome will be – you will look like you – like you did ten to fifteen years ago.

Sagging facial muscles means droopy skin because the muscles no longer have any oomph to them. Exercise will oxygenate the muscles and that helps your skin to look younger and alive. Lifting is noticeable almost immediately as the skin and muscles are enhanced with exercise.

Using exercise is a natural and safe alternative to surgical procedures and the results will be better than expected as you see lifting, toning and tightening of your facial features

Not just any exercise will do. It has been proven that isometric exercise is beneficial for the body. The action of tensing and releasing a muscle or muscle group strengthens them. Target specialized isometrics with resistance using the fingers and thumbs and the face begins to change as muscles reposition.

Imagine having a complete face lift using simple exercises that require only minutes a day. Every area of your face can look smoother and toned. Skin elasticity improves, your features are lifted and your skin glows with radiance.

Your confidence level soars as you feel and see that you look younger than your years. Trim your waist, lift your face, update your hair style and stay on top of your game for lasting success.

In order to lose weight, you will need to eat less calories than you expend. And that probably entails eating a lesser amount of carbohydrates and fats than you are used to. But don’t worry, it’s really not that difficult to eat a healthy diet consistently and not feel hungry all the time.

You can determine how many calories you expend every day with your age and height. There are simple charts you can use that will give you the answer. Eating less than that amount will force your body to shed the pounds. Your body needs to burn energy to survive, and if you’re not going to give it enough food, it’s going to have to get it from somewhere. Why not let it use the fat stores on your face!

A general diet composition should consist of approximately 50% carbohydrates, 30% protein (lean meat, chicken, fish) and 20% from healthy unsaturated fats (flax seed oil, avocado, fish oil).

Along with a healthy diet, you can speed up the process of burning fat with exercise. It is certainly possible to lose weight through diet alone, but combining exercise with a healthy diet will vastly increase the rate at which you lose weight, and you’ll look and feel much healthier to boot!

Try to aim for some form of exercise, whether it be aerobic or resistance training or both, 3 to 4 times a week for 30 minutes or more each day. That will you will be burning calories and raising your metabolism to optimum levels in order to burn some serious fat… even while you’re at rest! Strength training will also aid your fat burning by building up your muscles — stronger muscles require more energy, and that means more fat that needs burning.

Below are some exercises that should help you to lose fat from your face by strengthening your facial muscles. You can use a mirror to make sure you are performing them properly.

The Areas Around Your Eyes

Close your eyes and relax. Look up and then down as far as you can. Then repeat that 10 times. Next, keeping your eyes close, stretch your eyebrows up as far as you can, hold it, and count to 5. Then relax, and repeat the eyebrow stretch 5 times. Now, open your eyes, look up, and then look down (your head should remain fixed). Do that 10 times, then do the same thing by looking left and right 10 times.

The Frown

Make a frown, and try to squeeze your eyebrows down over your eyes. Next, raise your eyebrows up as far as you can with your eyes open as wide as possible. Do that 5 times. Then, lie down on your back on your bed, and hang your head off the edge. Lift your eyebrows as high as you can with your eyes open as wide as possible again. Relax, and then repeat that 10 times. Then, sit up and crunch your eyebrows down over your eyes, squeeze your nose up while trying to flare your nostrils and hold it for 10 seconds. Relax, and then repeat it 5 times!.

Stick Out Your Tongue

Stick the tip of your tongue out and suck in your cheeks. Maintain that expression for a few seconds and then relax. Next, push your lower lip on top of your upper lip and try to touch your nose (with your lower lip). While you smile as wide as possible, try and touch the tip of your nose with your tongue.

These exercises may seem silly, but they are strenuously working your face muscles. And working any muscles will burn calories and fat. Although losing weight takes time to notice results, if you stick to a plan you will achieve the look you want.

Finally, fitness mania is now complete with the acceptance of facial exercise as a bone fide alternative to facial plastic surgery that helps every person over the age of 25 look years younger. It’s about time, after all, for the face to be included in every exercise routine because the face has muscles just like the rest of the body.

Watch out, plastic surgeons! Cynthia Rowland is on a mission to make certain every man and woman over knows their face can be saved with resistance exercises that will lift tone and tighten every area of the face.

We see aging in our faces when nasal labial folds develop between our nose and mouth or maybe it’s a double chin that tells the world you’re aging. Each area of the face can blatantly shout that Mother Nature is having her way with your good looks as sagging and droopiness become apparent in our faces. Imagine soft, flabby facial muscles becoming strong again as pouches, forehead lines and double chins are targeted and strengthened. When you tone and firm the facial muscles, the youthful contours of your face return so you look younger, healthier and fresher.

The facial muscles are structurally different than say the muscles in our arms and legs; those muscles are long and thick plus they’re connected to bone on both ends. Muscles in the face connect to bone on one end so when exercising your face, you will need to create an artificial anchor, using your thumbs and fingers to achieve resistance. This slow and steady resistance will allow an isometric contraction to develop in the facial muscles so they lift, reshape and contour.

Resistance and isometric training are essential components to lift and tone the face with facial exercise. Not all facial exercise programs offer this type of specialized facial contouring; remember if there is no resistance, the movement is considered a contortion. These movements help your face to regain youthfulness and vitality so you appear healthier, less stressed and younger. These specialized techniques are easy to learn and once you learn them, the technology is yours forever.

There are three likely choices when you see aging in your face:

1. Do nothing and let the forces of nature continue unabated.

2. Spend your children’s inheritance on costly, painful and risky surgical procedures every few years that may or may not produce the desired effect.

3. Reclaim your natural youthful beauty with a proven facial exercise program!

If you answered yes to the question, “Is Your Face a Couch Potato” the solution is at your fingertips! Using just your thumbs, fingers and your white exercise gloves, your face will look like it did 10-15 years ago.

Chances are if you are over the age of 35, you are beginning to notice slight sagging in certain areas of your face and neck; this probably has caused you to think about the remedies that are available to keep you looking younger.

Using injections is an option; however, injections are temporary, they cost a lot of money, the needles and serum inflict pain and they only work in a limited way. Plumping up nose to mouth lines when your chin is sagging or using muscle paralyzing toxins in your forehead when your eye lids are heavy is a complete waste of your resources.

Surgery can certainly hike up those eyebrows and provide the ever popular wind-tunnel look when loose skin is swept upward toward the ear. Never mind that dispensing with thousands of dollars, putting yourself at risk for complications and infection and settling for results that are less than perfect – surgery can certainly change your appearance. Surgery, too, is temporary because we continue to age. And, repeated surgeries can easily make one look freakish and unnatural.

The above options cannot compete with exercise.

Oh sure, the advertising agencies stake their reputations on brainwashing the consumer to make them believe that one can only look younger and prettier by enlisting the aid of a plastic surgeon who is willing to cut into perfectly healthy tissue in hopes that you will like the results.

Or that by making an appointment for injections of cadaver materials and toxins will somehow magically transform your tired, lined face into one ten years younger.

No matter that these injections can create additional wrinkles when the face is made to act unnaturally or that you might have adverse long-term reactions.

Exercise is natural and that means that your body stays safe. Using only your fingers and thumbs while wearing white cotton gloves, specialized movements can easily give sagging facial muscles new life and vitality. Just as you use exercise to keep your body sleek and toned, you can exercise your facial muscles.

Learning to artfully and successfully alter the shape and contour of your face when it is currently misshapen and spongy requires that you exercise only minutes a day. In the privacy of your home, you can take control of the aging process and make yourself look younger! Sagging in the face, just like sagging in the body, is a result of muscle atrophy. Muscle atrophy is a result of disuse of the muscles; even though you have laughed, smiled, grimaced and frowned, these movements do not stop the muscles from elongation. Gravity continually tugs at all our muscles – we see the result in our arms, thighs and buttocks; and, we see it in our faces. In fact, by the time our age is 55, the muscles in the face will have elongated about one-half inch.

When droopiness continues to affect your face, you will look older. Exercise that uses resistance with isometric contraction will stop the cause of sagging in the face and the look of youthfulness will return in just a few short weeks. Sagging cheeks will lift, the forehead will tighten, upper eyes will look vibrant and that double chin and wattle will be toned and lifted. Every area of your face and neck will experience the benefit of these remarkable exercise movements.

Imagine looking at least 10-15 years younger without surgery, drugs or risk. Just like exercise works to maintain the body’s youthfulness, facial exercise will help you look and feel years younger.

But getting rid of face fat and puffy cheeks are also on the agenda for some of us. Who would not want to get a perfect photo at any angle? Many people out there go through dangerous surgery just to get higher cheekbones, sharper jaw line and the dreaded double chin.

To be honest, having a double chin is not an indication that you have a very low body fat. The reason this article is written is to feed you some information on how to face fat and get rid of the double chin naturally.

Whenever my I have a body fat percentage of 14 percent, my face will look sharp and believe or not, no double chin.

To get to that level is not difficult, you need to exercise with weights and weight training. Do 2 session of intense weight training and a minimum of 3 session of intense cardiovascular training using HITT concept. HITT means high intensity interval training for your cardiovascular training. Why intense, so that you can benefit from the effects of EPOC which boost your metabolism even 16 hours after your training.

The next method that you would want to try is to reduce your salt intake. Puffy cheeks and face fat can be the effect from water retention. High intake of salt can encourage your body to store water. If you do not believe me, try eating a whole packet of chips at night and take a look in the mirror in the morning. Your face will definitely be puffier.

The third way to lose face fat is to avoid drinking too much water right before you sleep. This is true. This not only affects your cheeks but also it makes your eyes puffy too!

There you go. These are 5 ways that can help you lose face fat and get rid of double chin. All you need to do is to take action and starting from step one which is to lose weight and get your body fat down!

Double chins are formed by two main culprits- excess weight and genetics. If you tend to overeat, don’t consume healthful foods, exercise very little if at all, or are on medication that causes excess gain, extra weight via fat and tissue will begin to pile on. As the face bloats up and skin begins to get stretched out, so will the neck and chin this will result in the appearance of multiple chins. Changing your diet and beginning a regular exercise routine will promote weight loss, which should result in the disappearance of those multiple chins. Genetics is also a guilty culprit when it comes to double chins. If you’re slender or of average weight, but still posses a double chin, your family may be the cause. Sagging chin and neck skin or a non-existent jaw line are both contributing factors to double, triple, or even quadruple chins.

If your double chin came about due to weight gain, than eating well and regular exercise should help greatly. Forget about diets and fad eating trends, as these will only work for a short while. You must make it a habit and a lifestyle to eat healthful, nourishing foods on a regular basis. Eliminate calorie-packed drinks like excess alcohol, and sugary juices and soda. Instead, chug down plenty of water and unsweetened teas. Always make sure you eat your fruits and veggies, as they’re full of nourishing vitamins and filling fiber. You should also fill up on lean meats like chicken, turkey, fish. Don’t eliminate all your favorite treats, however, as a feeling of deprivation can lead to binge eating and secret candy stashes. Allow yourself one or two treats a day- practicing self control is important. If you tend to live a sedentary lifestyle, try to fit in a new exercise routine at least once a week to help you lose a double chin.

Localized chin exercises can help firm up sagging skin and eliminate unwanted fat cells. The Platysma muscle is a muscle that runs from the underside of the chin down the entire length of the neck. When this muscle becomes weakened, there is potential for a double chin. Exercising this muscle regularly can help preventing sagging and stretching. While jutting out your lower jaw, use your fingers to stretch the skin underneath your chin in an upwards motion- this will help tighten and firm skin. Chewing is also an excellent exercise- sugar free gum is a great way to keep yourself chewing all day without packing on calories.

Chin liposuction is easily the fastest, most efficient way to completely eliminate a double chin. Keep in mind however, that there are drawbacks to this “miracle” cure. As with any major surgery, there are always risks- blood clots, nerve damage, infection, allergy to drugs used, and heart failure while on the operating table are all major issues that you should be aware of. Chin liposuction consists of a plastic surgeon draining out excess fat from the chin via a small tube. The extra skin is than trimmed away, and stitched closed for a smooth, even appearance. The results are phenomenal, but will not last if excessive eating and lack of exercise continue.

The Velform Chin Wrap is an excellent tool that can completely eliminate double chins, quickly and efficiently. This elastic, textured wrap is wound underneath the chin, after a firming gel is applied. The wrap is than tightened so that the hanging skin is secured tightly. As the chin is supported and the gel is massaged into the skin via the texture on the wrap, the muscles begin to strengthen and firm up. For full results, this method will take about a month. With continuous use of this wrap, there is no need to change your diet and exercise routine- a bonus for many.

After you figure out what is the cause of your double chin, you’re well on your way to finding a cure. If the issue with your body seems to be genetics, no amount of diet or exercise will change the sagging skin. Surgery or a Velform Wrap are the best options for you. If your double chin is caused by extra weight, however, cutting down on your intake and upping your exercise should help tremendously. After weight loss, there’s still the possibility of hanging skin, unfortunately. This makes the option of using a Velform Wrap extremely attractive. Whichever cure you choose, make sure you take your time and examine the results carefully before giving up. A double chin can be eliminated when these simple tips are followed carefully.

So what’s the answer? How exactly do you get rid of a double chin? Well, the first thing that you need to do when trying to figure out how to get rid of a double chin is to start a weight loss and fitness program. That might not be the answer that you are looking for, but having a double chin means that your body is carrying excess fat. By taking part in a weight loss and fitness program, and by burning more calories than you consume, then you will eventually lose your double chin. Having a double chin is simply a symptom of carrying excess weight. The good news however is that this means you can get rid of your double chin quickly, and without the need for expensive surgery,

When trying to figure out how to get rid of a double chin, people get frustrated because often they seem to have a bigger double chin than someone else who is more over weight than them. Different people store excess fat in different places, so some people who are heavily over weight may not have a double chin at all, and may instead store their excess fat on different parts of their body.

Stop asking how to get rid of a double chin and start taking action. By burning more calories than you consume, and by losing weight, you will quickly find that your double chin becomes a thing of the past. The best way to get rid of your double chin is to start a weight loss and fitness program now. Do it and you might just be impressed by the results.
