80/20 rule to weight loss
We all want to stay fit. We all want a healthy body. We all want to feel proud of ourselves when someone compliments us about our good shape. We all want to lose our extra fat, bring down our weight and do everything that we wanted to do for years – LOOK GOOD.
There are gazillion methods of weight loss that are being taught but some way or the other, nothing seems to work out for some people. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably tried all kinds of exercises like aerobics, strength training etc. and dieting with all types of plans that literally make you feel like you are STARVING to death but still don’t help you lose weight.
What’s wrong with those exercises and diet plans? What are we doing wrong here? The problem is that we are putting in the effort, but we are not directing it at the right place.
Vilfredo Pareto was a French-Italian sociologist, economist and philosopher who was born on July 15, 1848. He is famous for describing an interesting principle which you might have heard about.
It is called the Pareto Principle and it states that:
"80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts"
He had originally noticed how 80% of the income in Italy went to just 20% of the population; but his
principle has been found to have application in many other fields as well.If you apply this principle to weight loss, it necessitates doing only those things which will give you the BEST results. So, you have to do only those 20% exercises which give you 80% of all your results. You have to cut down on that 20% of food that results in 80% of your fat.
Once you do that, it will become very easy to lose weight.

WHY DO PEOPLE GAIN WEIGHT?
Dear friend, you wanna lose your weight? Yes... I think.
If you want to, don't you think we should know why people gain weight in the first place:
a. Overeating
“Eating more than you can burn” not surprisingly, is the main reason for weight gain.
Our busy lives provide us with too little time to spend on eating healthily.
So we pick up that packet of tortilla chips or order a Big Mac while on our way to the office.
The problem is that these things contain a lot of calories and fat which, again thanks to our busy schedule,
will remain unburned since we tend to exercise so little.
b. Lack of Exercise
As I mentioned above, a total lack of exercise in your life will surely lead to weight gain.
If you are physically inactive in your daily life and are mainly doing your work.
whilst seated (as is the case in most modern office work) you are more likely to gain weight – and fast too!
c. Genetic Reasons
Some people may gain weight simply due to their genes.
If their parents (or one of the parents) are obese, the child may grow to be obese as well.

DO YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU ABUSE YOUR BODY – AND YOUR HEALTH WILL EVENTUALLY DETERIORATE
I have been totally shocked at what so many people are doing to abuse their body.
While I’m in a restaurant eating I’m observing what other people are eating too. I see overweight and obese people eating french fries, drinking soft drinks, eating desserts and all kinds of unhealthy food, and I wonder.
Do they eat this kind of food all the time?
Do they ever eat anything baked or broiled or eat fruits and vegetables anytime?
If this is their regular diet everyday, don’t they realize what they are eating is causing their overweight condition and setting them up for some unhealthy consequences? Then if they contact some serious disease do they ever realize why it happened to them?
The truth is you cannot keep abusing your body everyday eating this kind of food without eventually causing some serious illnesses or diseases.
Therein lies some of the root cause of the whole country’s major health problems.
If a person contacts a serious illness and visits their doctor they are usually sent home with a prescription drug to take.
They are now convinced that this prescription drug will solve their health problem so they agree to take it.
Many times this prescription doesn’t help so they go back to their doctor once again and probably get another prescription drug to take.
What the doctor should really be suggesting to them are some ideas for creating a healthy regime to follow every day.
This blog will furnish you with many ways to create a healthy regime to follow every day.
It will also encourage and teach you what to do to maintain a healthy lifestyle for as long as you would like.
Now even though I am not a doctor I can, in most cases, guarantee I have gained more knowledge about nutrition, by my years of research .
They usually don’t know what nutritional guidelines to suggest to their patients.
And besides that the drug companies put a lot of pressure on them to use their products instead. Check it out yourself. It's public knowledge.
You also will be learning in this blog how valuable it is to become more informed about nutritional supplements too.
It's important to know which ones are most beneficial to add to your daily health regiment.
I am not suggesting you abandon your primary physician altogether but it will be advised and discussed later in this report how your doctor can be more helpful to you. It's best to have the assistance your primary health practitioner work with you to help you develop a healthier body and mind without the use of drugs.
Now let me make a strong point here before you read any further.

THREE THINGS TO DO TO ENHANCE YOUR HEALTH CONDITION
If you are interested in being healthier it’s not as difficult to do as it may seem.
I‘m sure you have heard the famous saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” Well maybe it won’t keep the doctor away entirely but it’s a good start.
However it does take a strong commitment on your part to agree to make better choices about your health.
Besides adopting a healthy diet plan there are three other things you should do that will enhance your overall health condition.
Here they are:
* Adopt a regular exercise program. Even if it’s just walking, biking or doing simple exercises in your home, that’s good.
Then if you get more serious about exercise later you may want to join a health club. But keep this in mind . . . regular simple exercise is better than no exercise at all.
* Learn ways to relieve stress and be able to relax more. It’s been proven over and over again that stress is a major factor to be concerned about when thinking of your overall health. Being highly stressed affects all of your bodily functions, including your mental condition as well.
* Become highly informed about nutritional supplements.
Learning how they can benefit your entire body is something everyone should know. Even when you initiate a proper diet plan and start eating healthier foods you probably should still add some other nutrients to your diet. Just eating the proper food can’t do it all. Nutritional supplements are beneficial in many ways. Just find the best ones to take on a regular basis.
Start taking proper care of your own health and you won’t need any prescription drugs.
Let me repeat this once more and make sure you hear it loud and clear. Your unhealthy condition is not going to be solved with drugs … EVER!
Believe me … The Only Cure for your illness or disease is you taking proper care of your health.

Do you know that junks consumption makes you weak?
You just cannot continue eating this kind of unhealthy food and expect to be a healthy person. Continuous eating of this type of food is depleting the strength of your immune system every time you do this. Remember what I said earlier. This is your defense system against any illness or disease you may encounter. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO ABUSE IT? Feed your immune system the right fuel and you will be better protected.
Winning the Weight-Loss Battle(2)
Still on how to win the weight-loss battle. You can be the size you want by being on a Low Fat Weight Loss Diets. These are foods low in fat and cholesterol.
Not as popular now as the more heavily publicized diets such as Atkins, South Beach and The GI diet, low fat diets still have a great deal to recommend them. Although diets based on lowering the amounts of carbohydrates, recommend the intake of a variety of fatty foods, many dietitians have long been of the opinion that a low fat and high fiber diet is the best combination for weight loss and health.

Beauty tips from Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise, pronounced: [majɔnɛːz], often abbreviated as mayo, is a sauce. It is a stable emulsion of oil, egg yolk and either vinegar or lemon juice, with many options for embellishment with other herbs and spices. Lecithin in the egg yolk is the emulsifier.
Mayonnaise varies in color but is often white, cream, or pale yellow. It may range in texture from that of light cream to thick. In countries influenced by France, mustard is also a common ingredient. In Spain, olive oil is used as the oil and mustard is never included. Numerous other sauces can be created from it with addition of various herbs, spices, and finely chopped pickles. Where mustard is used, it is also an emulsifiera.
As much as mayonnaise is a sauce, it can also serve to beautify your skin. How? A mayonnaise face mask will help to exfoliate dry dead skin cells while deeply moisturizing at the same time,leaving your skin healthy and glowing.
Try doing a gentle daily massage on your skin(be sure to rinse afterward)to boost skin's moisture.also,banish dry skin on feet or elbows by applying mayo for 10mins then wiping it away with a damp washcloth.
