Yoga has become a prominent part of many popular
workout routines. It's commonly touted as a cure for
everything from stiff joints to breathing problems. But
will yoga help you lose weight?

Sitting on a mat and meditating seems counter-intuitive
to someone who wants to build strength and shed pounds.

But yoga has been given a thoroughly modern makeover.
Now you can work up a sweat while you learn to get your
body and mind in synch.

Here are some of the ways yoga can help you lose weight
and increase your sense of wellbeing.

Vinyasa yoga burns calories.

Also known as "flow yoga" or "ashtanga yoga", vinyasa
yoga is a physically active form of yoga that increases
the heart rate and sends the body into fat-burning mode.

Vinyasa yoga sends the practitioner through a series of
poses known as sun salutations.

These poses are held for several breaths, and then the
practitioner flows into the next pose in the series.
Vinyasa yoga is frequently combined with other cardio
exercises, like walking, for a balanced weight loss
routine.

Yoga puts you in touch with your body.

When you practice yoga, you learn to clear your mind of
the distractions that prevent you from really listening to
your body. By getting back in touch with your needs, you
can learn to differentiate between hunger and cravings.

The more you learn about your body and its amazing
abilities, the more you will want to take care of it by
avoiding junk food and radical diets.

Yoga reduces stress.

Yoga is a real stress-buster. By practicing mindful
breathing and quiet meditation, you can bring your mind
and body to a peaceful state. This decreases anxiety and
can even reduce your body's production of the stress
hormone cortisol.

Cortisol sends our bodies into self-preservation mode,
which translates to increased fat storage, especially in
the abdominal area.

Learn to relax and breathe during yoga, and you will
eventually learn to incorporate those skills into the rest
of your life.

Power yoga improves strength and flexibility.

Power yoga is a westernized version of vinyasa yoga
that combines sun salutations with stretching, strength
training, and intense bursts of cardio.

This produces a stronger heart and more lean muscle
mass. Since muscle burns more calories than fat, power
yoga can help you burn more calories even at rest. That's
a great way to speed up your weight loss.

Hot yoga provides quick, temporary weight loss.

Hot yoga really makes you sweat. It's like regular
vinyasa yoga, but it takes place in a sauna or other hot
surroundings.

As you can guess, the quick weight loss comes from
shedding water weight.

While this is not a good long-term strategy, it can
give you a good workout and help you look more svelte
before a special occasion. Just be prepared to regain
those few pounds once you get rehydrated.

Yoga makes you mindful.

Perhaps one of the most valuable lessons yoga teaches
us is the lesson of mindfulness. Yoga practitioners learn
how to be "in the moment", focusing on their breathing and
their posture rather than worrying about work, family, or
other stressors.

You can apply this mindfulness to your weight loss plan
as well. Learn to focus on your food and your enjoyment
rather than choking down your meals while watching TV.

By taking your time and keeping your mind on your meal,
you will tend to eat less and be more satisfied.

Yoga can benefit your weight loss plan in many ways.
You can add yoga to your routine by finding a class near
you, or renting a yoga DVD from your public library.

Remember: if one style of yoga doesn't suit your needs,
there are many more to try.

While Yoga is very helpful it is not the whole solution. By
incorporating The "Venus Factor System" with Yoga you will get astonishing results!

We've all heard the cautionary tales about alcohol,
weight loss, and how the two don't mix.

As it turns out, this is good advice. There are some
very sound reasons to avoid alcohol when you're trying to
lose weight. There are also plenty of healthier options
for dieters who like a little drink now and then.

Here is a list of the reasons why alcohol can slow your
weight loss and affect your weight.

Alcohol is high in empty calories.

Alcohol contains 7 calories per gram. By way of
comparison, protein and carbohydrates contain 4 calories
per gram, and fat contains 9 calories per gram.

The difference is that proteins, carbohydrates, and
fats pack nutrition into their calories. Calories from
alcohol do not provide nutrition, and will not satisfy
your hunger. This makes it easy to keep drinking - and
racking up a high calorie count.

Alcohol delays the fat-burning process.

According to Dr. Robert Atkins, the human body burns
alcohol before any other fuel source. That means your body
will burn off all the alcohol you've consumed before
turning to its store of carbohydrates and fat. This can
delay your weight-loss efforts, especially if you drink
frequently.

If you can't bring yourself to abstain from alcohol,
try sipping wine instead of beer or cocktails. Dr. Atkins
considered the most diet-friendly drinks to be wine, hard
liquor, or either of the above mixed with seltzer, tonic
water, or diet soda.

Excessive alcohol consumption is linked to higher BMIs.

There is a direct correlation between the amount of
alcoholic drinks a person consumes during a day, and that
person's Body Mass Index (BMI).

According to a study by the National Institute on
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), study participants
with the lowest BMIs drank three to seven times a week,
but had only one drink during those days.

Participants with the highest BMIs drank alcohol less
frequently, but consumed several drinks at a time.

As with any food, alcohol isn't disastrous in small
quantities. The real danger lies in overindulgence.

Alcohol ads are misleading.

The latest alcohol marketing campaigns refer to certain
alcoholic beverages as "low-carb" or "zero-carb". These
campaigns are obviously targeting dieters, who have long
avoided alcohol in their quest to shed pounds.

While it is technically true that straight liquors are
distilled and therefore contain no carbs, they still
contain plenty of calories and no nutritional value.

Beer and wine do contain carbohydrates, which can lead
to cravings and bloating. Mixed drinks are the worst of
the lot, as they contain all sorts of added sugar and
calories.

Alcohol lowers inhibitions.

When we drink alcohol, our inhibitions go down. This
can cause us to make decisions we would never consider
while sober. When a dieter's inhibitions are lowered, they
may find it difficult to say no to overeating or eating
rich foods that are high in calories.

Intoxicated dieters might be susceptible to friends'
urges to try "just one bite", or their insistence that
"just one time won't hurt". Mindless snacking is also
common while drunk.

While the occasional planned splurge can actually help
you stay on track to lose weight, alcohol can lead to an
unplanned splurge followed by guilt and discouragement.

It's up to you. The bottom line is that any diet boils
down to how many calories you consume versus how many you
burn.

In small quantities, alcohol can be an occasional part
of your weight loss plan. Just tread carefully, save the
harder drinks for special occasions, and factor the extra
calories into your daily total.

Are You Gaining Weight on Weekends?

After a hard week at work, it's only natural to look
forward to a relaxing weekend.

But weekends contain some of the most difficult diet
hurdles, from dining out on Friday night to having a
hearty home-cooked Sunday dinner with family - and
everything in between.

We're also more likely to eat junk food on the weekends
than during the week. In fact, many dieters look forward
to an opportunity to splurge a little after their
work-week is done.

It's no wonder research has shown that most people
between the ages of 19 and 50 consume more calories on
weekend days than on regular weekdays. All of these extra
calories can add up to an annual weight gain of 5 pounds
or more.

To avoid nasty shocks during your Monday morning
weigh-in, follow these helpful tips for minimizing weekend
weight gain.

Stock up on healthy options.

If you come home to an empty cupboard on Friday
evening, you'll be more tempted than ever to order pizza
or drive out for fast food.

To avoid such temptation, make a quick stop by the
grocery store after work and pick up some healthy snacks
and quick meals. Try new foods you've been curious about,
or new flavors of your old favorites. Be sure to get
plenty of diet-friendly drinks as well.

Don't skip meals.

If you know you've got a big dinner coming up, you
might be tempted to "save up" calories by skipping meals
earlier in the day. This tactic is doomed to fail because
you will ultimately end up very hungry and surrounded by
tempting food.

A much better strategy is to eat small, light meals
throughout the day. Fruits and vegetables, salads and
broth-based soups are good choices. These will help keep
your calories in check, but won't leave you starving
before your big meal.

Have fun while you move.

You might not want to hit the gym on the weekends, but
staying active is important. The International Journal of
Obesity reported that dieters who consistently stick to
their plan are more likely to be successful.

Luckily, there are plenty of fun ways to stay active on
the weekend. Sign up for a yoga class, take a walk through
a scenic neighborhood, or go window-shopping at the mall
to pick out clothing you'll buy when you reach your next
weight loss goal.

If you have children or pets, play with them in the
back yard or take a trip to the park. You'll have fun and
burn calories.

Limit alcohol consumption.

You don't want to sabotage your healthy food and
exercise choices by drinking too much alcohol. Alcohol is
high in empty calories and can leave you hungry and
dehydrated. It can also lower your inhibitions, paving the
way to a binge.

If you must drink alcohol, limit yourself to one or two
low-calorie options, such as a White Wine Spritzer or a
Rum and Diet Coke.

Remember your goals.

It's easy to lose some of your intensity when you're
relaxing with friends, especially if you're the only one
on a diet. Some of your friends might even tempt you to
overeat. While they're probably not doing it maliciously,
that extra temptation can lead to a diet disaster.

Speak with your friends about the level of commitment
you have to health, and spend more time around those who
support your efforts. Good friends will take your goals
into consideration.

Don't be discouraged.

After a long weekend of celebrating, you might find
yourself several pounds heavier when you weigh in on
Monday.

Unless you ate a truly massive amount of food over
the weekend, most of the weight gain is probably due to
bloating. Simply tell yourself that today is a fresh
start, and get back on track.

In this installment we will talk about How to Cleanse and Detox Your Body
and at the same time control your hormones for maximum effectiveness in
losing weight!

benefits of incorporating yoga into your life extend far
beyond losing weight. Yoga alone wont complete the whole
process so you have to make sure you learn how to control
your hormones in your body to burn fat at the same time too.

It seems like you can't turn around these days without
hearing about a new colon cleanser or detox diet.

These products and systems claim to remove built-up
toxins from the body, promoting better overall health.
Some involve fasting, while others involve herbal pills or
strict liquid diets.

After numerous studies, there is still no scientific
evidence that such approaches are beneficial.

According to Dr. Michael Picco, a gastroenterologist at
the Mayo Clinic, detox diets and cleansers can actually
have harmful side effects.

Despite the claims of companies who sell such products,
the human body is actually very efficient at filtering
toxins.

However, there are several simple, natural steps you
can take to ease your body's burden. Here are some proven
ways to rejuvenate your body inside and out - no purchase
necessary.

Exfoliate to renew your skin.

Exfoliation is a quick and easy way to remove dead
skin, improve circulation, promote the growth of new skin
cells, and give your complexion a natural glow.

It can be done with an exfoliating skin cleanser, a
natural skin scrub made from brown sugar and olive oil, or
even a gentle soap and a damp washrag.

Give yourself an overall glow by exfoliating your whole
body. Purchase (or make) an exfoliating body wash, or
purchase a long-handled body brush and scrub it over your
body in circular motions before you bathe.

Both techniques will help clear your pores and get rid
of dead skin cells.

Learn to breathe.

Do you ever catch yourself holding your breath? Do you
tend to breathe in short, shallow bursts? If so, you can
decrease your body's stress level by practicing slow,
rhythmic breathing.

This technique, called 'conscious breathing', helps you
provide more oxygen to your body. This, in turn, helps
your body carry out its tasks more efficiently.

Pick a quiet time, such as before you rise from bed in
the morning. Take a slow, deep breath. You should see your
stomach, not your chest, rise as you breathe in. Hold the
breath for five seconds, then slowly exhale.

Repeat this for five minutes. Over time, you will learn
to breathe more correctly throughout the day.

Practice daily stretching.

Stretching and yoga are beneficial to the mind and
body. Not only do they relieve stress and keep the muscles
limber, they promote blood flow and circulation.

The experts at WebMD recommend stretching all major
muscle groups at least 2-3 times weekly. Stretch until you
feel a gentle tug, never to the point of pain.

You can go online to find a good stretching routine or,
if you have health concerns, ask your doctor to recommend
one that's right for you.

Sweat every day.

Much as we try to avoid it, sweating is actually great
for your body. The best way to work up a cleansing sweat
is through aerobic exercise.

As you sweat, your body releases stored fluid. Replace
this fluid by drinking plenty of water.

After a week or so of daily sweating and hydration, you
will begin to notice improvement in your skin tone, stress
level, and sleep quality.

Reduce consumption of pain medication.

Our livers were designed to filter toxins from our
blood, but there's no need to make them work overtime. Be
kind to your body by reducing the amount of
over-the-counter painkillers you consume.

Researchers at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill found that acetaminophen (Tylenol) can cause
liver damage even when used as directed.

The liver function of the test subjects was three times
higher than normal after just four days of routine
acetaminophen use.

Use fiber and water to promote digestive health.

Fiber and water are the healthiest colon cleansers
available. They are also some of the most effective. Fiber
is a difficult substance to break down. It makes your
digestive system work hard, keeping it in good shape.

Water is essential for our bodily functions. Good
hydration means better skin, better joints, and better
filtration of toxins.

For optimal results, try to consume at least 30 grams
of fiber daily, and at least six to eight glasses of
water. When it comes to cleansing and detoxing your body,
there's really nothing better than water.

Yoga is not as scary as you may think it is, and the
benefits of incorporating yoga into your life extend far
beyond losing weight.
