How to Lose Weight Like the Competitors in Fat March and Biggest Loser

For many seeing shows like Fat March of the Biggest Loser
can be an inspiration to start their own weight loss
program. The problem lies in once you are excited to start
now what. It can be hard for the average watcher to
understand what is important and what achieves results from
watching the show. It is easy to say eat well and exercise
on a regular basis though what does that really mean.
Losing weight doesn't have to be overwhelming if you
understand the basic principles from the shows and apply
them to your lifestyle.

The first biggest change for most people's diets which is
vital is eating 5 small meals. The personal trainers
talked about in Fat March about how until people create the
habit of eating throughout the day nothing else matters.
Eating small meals trains your body to burn fat and shuts
off your body's ability to store fat.

In Fat March we got an up close and personal experience of
what happens when you don't eat five small meals. One of
the fat marchers took all his food and ate it all at once.
This spiked his blood sugar which then your body stores the
food as fat. Once your body stores the food as fat you get
low blood sugar which is the crashing that most people feel
around 3 pm from too much food at lunch. During Fat March
because the competitor was doing a ton of walking he passed
out from too low blood sugar and had to go to the hospital.
Most people don't understand how negative not eating 5
small meals is because they don't have as serious instant
consequences because they are sitting at their desk working
when their blood sugar drops.

Until you start eating 5 small meals your body will be in a
constant roller coaster of eating too much and storing fat
into your fat cells. The good thing is that if today you
eat 5 small meals you body will today start to burn more
energy and go in the right dirction.

So what do I want in my 5 small meals?

The Biggest Loser show does a good job of showing cooking
for good healthy meals. The goal of each meal is to get
complex carbs for energy, lean protein to rebuild muscle
tissue, and fruits or vegetables for nutritional value.
The size is relative to your metabolism, as you get a
faster metabolism your portion will increase not decrease
which is why starving to lose weight doesn't work. For
most Americans take your lunch cut it in half and eat the
other half 3 hours later.

Yes you do need to eat carbs. Carbohydrates are your major
source of energy from food. When you don't eat carbs even
if you eat protein your body will go into a starvation
response and store fat and burn muscle for energy. Complex
carbs are stored in the muscles cells and are rice, pasta,
grains, and potatoes.

One reason many fad diets cut carbs is because carbs absorb
water. If you cut carbs out of your diet you will lose
weight immediately. You may think that is good though your
weight loss is only water. Most fad diets do this knowing
that people want to see instant results on the scale and
cutting carbs can 5-15 pounds of water out with in a week.
Because of poor diet habits and too much consumption of
caffeine drinks, it is estimated that 75% of Americans are
in a constant state of dehydration. Which means for the
average American who adds carbs back to their diet they may
gain 5 pounds of just water back right away. This healthy
and their bodies were unhealthy everyday from a lack of
later. If you cut carbs it doesn't matter how much water
you drink, you don't have the carbs to absorb it. Low carb
diets that drink a lot of water go to the bathroom more
often.

Low Turnover Rates Make a Medical Practice Perfect

Most health care managers spend a good portion of their day
dealing with patients both directly and indirectly. If
there's one thing I've noticed it's the comfort that
consistency brings to their medical experience. By that I
don't just mean having a doctor they can trust, but also
nurses and office staff they know and can depend upon.

I was reminded of this as I read a recent Medical Group
Management Association article about rewarding a good staff
as a means of keeping them in your employment:

''One way leaders minimize turnover is by rewarding
employees for helping the practice succeed. The clinic also
gives staff members a voice in the practice's
operations...Employees can have a direct effect on practice
operations in several ways. Because they serve as liaisons
between patients and clinic leaders, employees use a
feedback box to capture comments they hear from patients.
Those submissions are reviewed monthly at staff meetings so
all employees and providers are aware of issues and can
help provide solutions."

Of course, this requires that everyone put their egos aside
for the benefit of the overall practice, and in places
where there is an established hierarchy it can be difficult
to share information so freely. However, giving every
employee a voice and rewarding their effort increases their
commitment to the work they do, and patients intuitively
know when the people who care for them are truly involved.

At our office, we offer year-end bonuses and increased
vacation time for ideas that save money and time. In a
small work environment where advancement opportunities are
limited, it is our way of keeping people in the fold. It
helps make it a place that I look forward to going into
every morning, and props up morale.

I'm lucky. The office I manage is able to pay a competitive
wage, which is invaluable in both attracting and keeping a
high quality staff. However, it's been my experience that
while a satisfactory paycheck is vital, it's not the only
way to keep office morale high.

One of the main things I do is recognize achievement. When
someone does something noteworthy or makes a valuable
suggestion, I make note of it and during the next office
meeting, I take the time to mention publicly just how
grateful I am to that particular person. Praise, when
legitimately given, is a terrific way to make an employee
strive for excellence.

I also will send out the occasional complimentary email for
the whole office to read, or even something as personal as
a post-it on someone's computer. I'm careful not to go
overboard or say too much, but I've found that people
really appreciate the fact that their deed was remembered.
Granted, we're all professionals, and should routinely be
doing outstanding work, but that doesn't mean we don't like
getting complimented for it on occasion.

Another thing I do with everyone in the office is plan
small events like a dinner out together or even something
informal like a bowling party. Nothing reinforces the sense
of working in unison like bonding outside of the workplace.
It also helps break down the barrier between doctors and
office staff, keeping everyone approachable and on good
working terms.

Sometimes I jokingly refer to our office as a lifeboat. We
sink or swim together. It isn't necessary that we like or
care about everybody on board, but it sure does help.

An enlightened approach to Kegel Exercises

We've all heard that a definition of insanity is doing the
same thing over and over again, but expecting a different
result.

Isn't that what we've done for years with Kegel exercises?
Countless hours of practising while wondering if we'd got
the right muscle, or if there was any point in doing the
exercises anyway as we weren't really feeling that our
effort was making any difference.

A little known fact about Kegel exercises which often
surprises people when they first hear it is that they were
never meant to be performed the way in which they are
today. Indeed, they were never meant to be performed the
way they have been for decades!

Dr Kegel was an American surgeon, Associate Professor of
Gynaecology at the University of Southern California and
Health Commissioner of Chicago, who spent more than
thirty-two years in the study of the female pelvis and the
muscles therein.

His studies document his results with thousands of women
that show the incredible benefits to be gained from Kegel
exercises when performed correctly. In 1950 Dr Kegel had
achieved complete relief of urinary stress incontinence in
93% of a group of 300 women in this way.

"On the strength of these favorable results urinary stress
incontinence in women is no longer routinely treated by
surgical intervention at...LA County General Hospital." Dr
Kegel. (A progress in Gynecology, 1950 p.786)

Isn't it amazing to think that the results he was getting
in the last century are even better than the generally
accepted success rates for incontinence surgery carried out
today? How were these results achieved? By ensuring that
the exercise protocol that his patients followed consisted
of two essential elements:

1) Isolating the pelvic floor muscle (using no abdominal,
buttock or thigh muscles) 2) Working the pelvic floor
muscle against resistance

What is commonly known as a Kegel exercise today bears
little relation to authentic Kegel exercises. Dr Kegel
knew that the exercises were pretty useless without either
of these components. If you've been struggling to get
results with Kegel exercises, maybe for years, now you know
why they seem to be exercises in futility.

Think about it like this - Squeezing against nothing is
about as effective as trying to rehabilitate or build
muscle in your arm simply by flexing it up and down, you
could do that forever and see little improvement. However,
put a small weight in your hand and exercise against the
resistance of that, adding slightly heavier weights as the
arm gets stronger and improvement in strength and tone is
inevitable.

Imagine going to the gym and finding all the equipment has
been taken out and you're told you can go through the
motions of doing the exercise and achieve the same result!
This is what women have been told about pelvic floor
exercise over the last half century, and still are. By
merely going through the motions of doing the exercise you
cannot come close to achieving the results that come from
actually doing the proper exercise.

Dr Kegel was quoted in TIME magazine, Dec 3rd, 1956 as
saying, "There is a better way than surgery to correct most
cases of pubococcygeal weakness".

Considering the vast amount of surgery that is carried out
for incontinence and prolapse today, it has to be fairly
obvious at this stage that there is something missing from
pelvic floor exercises as is normally taught.

An enlightened approach to Kegel exercises involves asking
the questions "What is missing here?" Why are women not
getting the results they were promised?" It is clearly
insane to keep teaching women to squeeze against nothing,
when the results of such a misguided approach are so poor.
Performing the exercises as they were meant to be performed
produces real results.

exercises could eliminate stress incontinence and reduce
