Did you gain some extra weight over the holidays, or just have a few extra accumulated pounds you need to get rid of? While I wish I could wave a magic wand and rid you of those excess pounds, unfortunately it's not quite that easy.
However, the following audio books do make it easier to lose weight. I've picked out ones that follow the new nutrigenomics (the science of the way food interacts with your genes) method of combining the right kinds of foods in the right quantities to give your body the nutrition and fuel it needs to become a lean, mean efficient machine.
You see eating the right kinds of foods in the right combinations allows you to feel full and satisfied while still being able to lose weight effortlessly. You don't have to exercise to lose the weight, however, exercise helps eliminate stress and keeps your body toned and muscles firm, plus you will see results faster.
A great way to enjoy your exercise routine and even increase the amount of exercise you do is to listen to audio books. They motivate you, make the time go quicker, and keep you looking forward to the next exercise session. Professional athletes around the world are using audio books to help with their exercise routines and increase their endurance. In 2006, Hannah Mckeand skied to the South Pole unassisted except for her iPod loaded with audio books. She used audio books to make the time fly, while her legs were flying as well. She made the journey in a record 39 days, 9 hours, and 33 minutes.
Here are my top 10 audio book picks for healthy weight loss and fitness:
> Ultra-Metabolism
I first downloaded this audio book back in August and began his Ultra-Metabolism program. The results have been fantastic. I have lost 23 pounds and have kept it off. The inches particularly around my waistline just fell off almost effortlessly. This is a whole food approach to healthy, natural weight loss plus increased resistance to immune deficiencies and disease. You can read my full review here.
> Fiber 35 Diet
One of the best things you can do is increase the fiber in your diet. Eating more fiber, particularly paired with carbohydrates helps to slow the transformation of carbs into sugar in your blood. It gives healthful, fiber-rich recipes and foods to help you maintain a healthy body.
> 3 Hour Diet
Eating every 3 hours is actually good for your body. Your body was made to store fat especially if it thinks it is being starved. So if you skip meals or go a long time between meals, your body automatically goes into starvation mode. Just make sure what you're eating every 3 hours is healthy food rich in fiber and nutrients.
> Eat Smart, Walk Strong
Great for identifying and breaking bad habits. Also includes tips for dining out without pigging out.
> South Beach Diet
Popular diet plan with pre-packaged frozen meals. However, long-term weight loss and sticking with the program is difficult.
> Ultralongevity
Gives you the secret recipe for staying young and physically fit while building up your immune system and increasing your resistance to debilitating diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
> Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution
Once a very popular dieting method. However, research has shown that eliminating carbohydrates and fats entirely and consuming mostly protein is very bad for your body and health, particularly over an extended period of time. I only put this one on the list to warn you of the dangers of going on a all protein diet. Besides, have you ever smelled the breath of someone who was on the Atkins diet and eating only protein. Yuck!
> Walk Away the Pounds
A great audio book to motivate you to get up off the couch and get moving! I started walking 10-15 miles a week 21 years ago (and have kept it up all this time!) because of the drastic results I saw my mother-in-law get from walking. She went from a size 18 down to a size 8 in just a few months by walking briskly 30 minutes a day. She had been a size 18 for years as well as very sedimentary. Walking provided her with the perfect exercise for her body.
> Get With the Program!
Using a 4 phase program Bob Greene (Oprah's Trainer) takes you through identifying bad eating habits, making healthy choices and building muscle to replace fat. Muscle burns 70% more calories than fat does. Get with the Program! is full of anecdotes and stories of women and men who met their personal goals, further helping to inspire you to move on to the next level of health and fitness.
> Enter the Zone
In this scientific and revolutionary work based on Nobel Prize-winning research, Dr. Barry Sears, a medical visionary and former M. I. T. researcher, prescribes a new, effective, and easy-to-follow dietary program based on the vital connection between food and hormones. Your genes are pre-programmed to interact with food in a very specific way. Some foods and food combinations make you fat and some foods and food combinations make you lose weight. It's that simple.
