The general targeted market for diet soda are health-conscious people, people with diabetics and also athletes. They are also popularly marketed to people who wants lose weight and those who wants to maintain fitness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But how can &#8217;sugar-free&#8217; drinks have sweet taste just like the other normal sodas? It&#8217;s the non-saccharide or non-sugar artificial sweetener such as  sucralose (Market as Splenda) and acesulfame potassium (Sunnet or Ace K) used in the drink instead of sugar. As for the name of non-sugar beverage, it has been very popular among those who would prefer to consume less or zero calories beverages.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As for my main concern is, can diet soda be really effective in helping you to lose weight or keep your weight at healthy level? After seeking answers from the internet as well from health experts and my own experience, my answer is going to be a yes and a no.</p>
<p><strong>As from my own experience</strong>- When I switched to diet soda, the reduced sugar and calorie each day helped me to lose some weight for a while. I would consume 2 to 4 cans of diet soda each day. After months of drinking diet soda, I started gaining weight once again.  I found out that every time I have diet soda, I will always want to eat something  with it. I also found out that when anything other than water hits your stomach, <strong>chances are you will get an up tick in the hunger response</strong>. I also tend to extra loose with diet thinking I am making up for it with the diet soda.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Yes</strong>- Diet soda is so much better to be consumed than sugar based regular soda. The easy principle is the less calories in a soda, the higher the chances for you to lose weight. It will greatly reduce your daily calories intake resulting the body to <strong>burn more stored fat for energy</strong>. Research discovered that <strong>an individuals who drink excessive amounts of regular soda will experience weight loss if they switch to diet soda.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>No</strong>- An 8 year study showed that those who drink even 2 cans each day are 57% more likely to become overweight.  Another research however suggested that diet soda might <strong>stimulates appetite</strong> due to the undelivered expected calories from diet soda to the body. It is also most likely to<strong> increase cravings</strong> for sugar flavored foods. Diet soda drinkers are also less likely to consume healthy food. The overuse of <strong>caffeine</strong> in most diet soda as well raised concerns as caffeine can increase level of insulin which can slow down the burning of stored fat in the body.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bottom line is, diet soda drinking habit can be both good and bad for us. It all depends on your mindset. Moderation is always the best option to stay</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, trying to lose weight on a short-term solutions will usually magnify the problems more. I always believe that what you choose to eat, how you choose to live will affect  your quest to get that healthy body.</p>

Start uga_filter: <p style="text-align: justify;">Do you happen to know any myth regarding to <a class="zem_slink" title="Physical exercise" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_exercise">exercise</a>? I happen to know 10 most common myths. Forget about &#8220;<a class="zem_slink" title="No pain, no gain" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_pain%2C_no_gain">no pain, no gain</a>&#8220;, that is an old news already. They still exist among us and have always been the reason some of us never really get to see our desired outcome and eventually just gave up. I got these myths from doing a long internet research. Some of them may sound familiar to you too. So here they are:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p><strong> 1.</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Longer exercise at low intensity will burn more fat</strong></span>.</p>
<p>The main focus in exercising for <a class="zem_slink" title="Weight loss" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_loss">weight loss</a> is the amount of <a class="zem_slink" title="Calorie" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie">calories</a> burn during the exercise. The old fashion long and low-intensity exercise is great when you have <strong>achieved</strong> your ideal weight not when you are trying to lose weight. Remember that the faster you walk or run, the more calories will be burned per minute. But remember high-intensity exercise is hard to sustain if you are just starting. You can choose either to work your way up gradually which will be slower or begin with low risk <a class="zem_slink" title="High intensity training" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_intensity_training">high-intensity training</a> with shorter duration on  each session.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p><strong> 2.</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Work out hard and often otherwise, exercise is a waste of time</strong></span>.</p>
<p>This is the main perpetrator here. This type of perception actually keep people from exercising or even begin to exercise. I wouldn&#8217;t want to perform 500 sit-ups or run for 10 km everyday. I am very sure many of us will have weight problem if all the exercises are meant to be like this right. In fact, a regular walking is an exercise, gardening is an exercise, even grocery shopping is an exercise, for every 1 hour of these a week, you get to walk further away from the risk of having a heart disease.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p><strong> 3.</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Exercise is the only way to lose the extra weight.</strong></span></p>
<p>On my recent post, I have mention that diet takes 70% of your weight loss mission. With the right diet, you will achieve an ideal weight. However, genetics do play roles in how we respond to exercise. 2 person will not lose the same amount of weight on the same exercise program. But do not be wary, exercising is only a part in your quest to health. Your regular physical activity is the most important factor in helping you to be successful in managing your weight in long term. I have someone I know who exercise once a week with high-intensity and spend the rest of the week with no exercise yet she is very successful in maintaining her weight. How she did it? She lives in an apartment with elevator, and she is on the 5th floor. She walks up and down everyday instead of using the elevator. That is a great example of how your regular activity can help.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p><strong> 4. </strong> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stay away from strength training if you want to lose weight, It bulks you up. </span></strong></p>
<p>Cardiovascular and strength training are both valuable when it comes to weight management. The misconception over strength training is one of the factors most people get demotivated when they don&#8217;t see the result. Be realistic. You don&#8217;t have to look like a bodybuilder, a <strong>leaned and trimmed body</strong> is your actual goal. Lifting 20kg of dumbbell will of course gives you one massive bicep. Strength training helps maintaining your muscle mass and at the same time keeps the fat at a low percentage. Remember, the more muscles you have the greater is the amount of fat burned and reduced to maintain your muscles.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p><strong> 5</strong>.<strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"> Home workouts are fine, but going to a gym is the best way to get fit.</span></strong></p>
<p>Nothing against gym operators and this is just a review. Of course with all the hype and trendy facilities, it&#8217;s pretty convincing that going to the gym is the best way. With the fitness instructors to help and guide you along with all the ladies and the guys around ; ), you might have the motivation. Research however agrees that the &#8220;best&#8221; exercising program for you is the one you will <strong>participate in consistently</strong>. As the myth number 3 says, it is your  regular physical activity that matters. Home is where you will do most of your daily activities. So why not home workout. Anyone can afford it. You just have to have a bit of discipline of course.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p>My only advise would be, keep that heartbeat of yours up. Did you notice that some overweight people can actually swim for a long time  ? Yes they have the stamina and they can effortlessly swim at their OWN PACE and never really exerts themselves too much. My advise, if you are not breathing hard at least during part of your workout, you definitely are doing something wrong. Get your heartbeat going guys.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p>So what do you think of these myths? If you happen to have any other myths that you think is interesting or you want to place comments, you are welcome.</p>

I happen to know 10 most common myths. Forget about &#8220;<a class="zem_slink" title="No pain, no gain" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_pain%2C_no_gain">no pain, no gain</a>&#8220;, that is an old news already. They still exist among us and have always been the reason some of us never really get to see our desired outcome and eventually just gave up. I got these myths from doing a long internet research. Some of them may sound familiar to you too. So here they are:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p><strong> 1.</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Longer exercise at low intensity will burn more fat</strong></span>.</p>
<p>The main focus in exercising for <a class="zem_slink" title="Weight loss" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_loss">weight loss</a> is the amount of <a class="zem_slink" title="Calorie" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie">calories</a> burn during the exercise. The old fashion long and low-intensity exercise is great when you have <strong>achieved</strong> your ideal weight not when you are trying to lose weight. Remember that the faster you walk or run, the more calories will be burned per minute. But remember high-intensity exercise is hard to sustain if you are just starting. You can choose either to work your way up gradually which will be slower or begin with low risk <a class="zem_slink" title="High intensity training" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_intensity_training">high-intensity training</a> with shorter duration on  each session.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p><strong> 2.</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Work out hard and often otherwise, exercise is a waste of time</strong></span>.</p>
<p>This is the main perpetrator here. This type of perception actually keep people from exercising or even begin to exercise. I wouldn&#8217;t want to perform 500 sit-ups or run for 10 km everyday. I am very sure many of us will have weight problem if all the exercises are meant to be like this right. In fact, a regular walking is an exercise, gardening is an exercise, even grocery shopping is an exercise, for every 1 hour of these a week, you get to walk further away from the risk of having a heart disease.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p><strong> 3.</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Exercise is the only way to lose the extra weight.</strong></span></p>
<p>On my recent post, I have mention that diet takes 70% of your weight loss mission. With the right diet, you will achieve an ideal weight. However, genetics do play roles in how we respond to exercise. 2 person will not lose the same amount of weight on the same exercise program. But do not be wary, exercising is only a part in your quest to health. Your regular physical activity is the most important factor in helping you to be successful in managing your weight in long term. I have someone I know who exercise once a week with high-intensity and spend the rest of the week with no exercise yet she is very successful in maintaining her weight. How she did it? She lives in an apartment with elevator, and she is on the 5th floor. She walks up and down everyday instead of using the elevator. That is a great example of how your regular activity can help.</p>

Start uga_filter: <p>Body fat has been receiving quite a bad reputation for a long time. Not many has understandings of its purpose.</p>
<p>Body fat is made up of free fatty acids liberated from various lipoproteins <strong>(a chemical compound made of protein and fat, that transports lipids around the body to perform various biological functions)</strong>.</p>
<p>Body fat will only becomes a problem when it is not used as an energy. An obvious reason for weight problems worldwide. The real fact is, it carries important roles in our body. Insulation for an example, and we need at least <strong>3 percent </strong>of fat to cushion and protect the vital organs, in particular the kidneys, heart and intestines.</p>
<p>By now we have to fully understand that losing every single fat cell in our body is suicidal. There are 2 major ways to reduce fat effectively.Aerobic training and resistance training. Aerobic training uses oxygen and fat as a main fuel source. Resistance training rises up the muscle&#8217;s metabolic activity. It needs a significant amount of energy in the form of fat to maintain it. Which means, the more muscle you have, the greater amount of fat will be burned and reduced.</p>
<p>However, exercising alone does not help fat reduction for a length of time. Exercising everyday is not recommended at all. Fat tissue never stops accumulating as the body needs it. Skipping exercise even for a day means you are adding up body fat. Other bigger factor in slowing down your fat storage is a proper diet. In fact, <a href="http://waterfreakz.com/?p=84" target="_blank">diet</a> contributes <strong>70 percent</strong> in fat reduction. It affects the main fat burning factor, your <strong>METABOLISM</strong>.</p>
<p>From my point of view, it is better to understand how dieting and exercise work with each other rather than jumping into your trainer and perform all those sophisticated methods just to give up in the end when you don&#8217;t see any results.</p>
