My 3 Day Fruit Fast.

Yesterday was a good day. I stayed true and strong on my 3 day fresh fruit fast. I ate a lot of fruit that was a variety. I drank plenty of water and a couple of cups of green tea. The exercise was good not great. One issue I had is my stretching was limited and I need to focus on the stretch and resistance training today. My devotion time was rich and I believe God gave me great insight into His Word and His Heart. I look forward to the fasting and prayer today. Yesterday was a very good day.

Healthy Weight Loss Program.

Eating a healthy diet is an essential part of my healthy weight loss program. Fasting and prayer are also. As I focus on God my mind is set at peace and any focus on the anxieties of life is removed and I am therefore free of stress to pursue the things God has called me to pursue. That is to fast and pray. This is my healthy weight loss program. Today I have a special focus on resistance training and stretching while I stay committed to my devotion, drinking plenty of water and healthy eating on this day 2 of my 3 day fruit fast.

Weight Loss Program

No matter your fitness level walking is one of the best things you can do for your weight loss program. A successful weight loss program has the key elements of a healthy diet plan, regular physical exercise and effective nutritional vitamin supplements like Advocare weight loss to help jump start and maintain your ideal weight. Not only walking an excellent exercise for weight loss, walking will help you prevent and reduce the risks of you having many diseases. It is never too late for you to start a walking program to improve your health.

Walking for Weight Loss

In general we need to be more active in our lives. Walking is the easiest way and least expensive exercise option available to us. If you are a baby boomer or senior and or you are just not in shape, start your weight loss program by walking 20 to 30 minutes a day at a pace that is slightly uncomfortable to you. Walking will increase your metabolism and energy which are both important to burn fat and lose weight. Sure a healthy diet plan is important to weight loss. You must burn more fat than you consume to lose weight. Walking will help you do that. There are countless testimonies of people who lose weight simply by changing their eating habits and walking everyday.

As you reach a certain fitness level you want to increase your walking intensity to lose more weight and improve your health. After a week or two you will be able to increase your speed and or even go longer. In any case you should increase your intensity in your walking weight loss plan.

Walking for Health

If we use the Maasai Tribe in Africa as an example we will learn the benefits of walking and heart disease. Their diet is basically meat and milk from the cattle they herd. Their diets are very high fat. A diet of similar fat content for the average American would make heart disease inevitable. As they were studied and autopsies done upon their death it was learned that their diets caused considerable damage to their heart and blood vessels. Yet heart disease, cancer and diabetes are unheard of among them. The simple reason is that they walk 10 to 20 miles a day. Now I know there are not many of us who can add 10 to 20 miles of daily walking  to our lifestyle. But if we eat a healthy diet and walk 1 to 3 miles a day while adding resistance exercise to our weight loss program we will decrease our risk of many diseases as well. We can reduce the risk of every major disease by adding a brisk walk to our daily lives.

Walk for Life

I recently read a cartoon caption that had the patient saying to the doctor, “I can not add one hour of walking to my busy schedule each day.” The doctor replied, “maybe you can fit being dead 24 hours a day into your schedule. The choice is yours.”

The choice is ours. Whether we add walking to our weight loss program for weight loss or for health, we must get in shape and eat a healthy diet plan. If we can not get all of the vitamins, minerals and nutrients we need out of our diet we should consider a natural nutritional supplement like Advocare weight loss to jump start our plan. We can live healthy happy lives by the choices we make.

Be Blessed. Be a Blessing. Yes You Can Loose Weight!
