THE $100 DIET's Secret Quick Tips to Burn Fat FAST! (Shhhh!)

There are a few elements that I feel many don't realize. I have had a lot of letters from people asking why they are not burning as much fat as quickly as they would like. Well, boys and girls, there are a few small changes you can make to your lifestyle that would burn that stubborn fat a whole lot faster.

1. First, you should work out first thing in the morning. After brushing your teeth and such you should get right to it. Why, you ask? There are a couple of reasons. One of them is that working out in the morning before you eat any meals means that instead of the body burning the carbs from the meals you have eaten, it looks to burn something else. It burns fat fast. Overnight, to keep other bodily functions going such as digestion, blood flow, breathing and so forth. In the morning, if you work out before you actually consume any type of food, your body will not burn off the calories and carbohydrates as it would would not have any to burn. It will turn to burn something else, and that is burn the body fat instead.

2. You should work out for about 45 minutes to an hour. Don't panic, this is not straight working out for the entire time, this includes warm up and cool down! You should slowly increase your heart rate and decrease it methodically. Don't do start and stop methods, as this could be dangerous.

3. Choose a medium yet steady intensity through your work outs. Fat burns faster when you have sufficient oxygen to the body while working out. Some intense workouts take away the oxygen needed to burn that fat fast. High powered Yoga, a steady pace on the elyptical and even DVDs toting "Blast Away the Fat" are good methods to use, as opposed to constant sprinting or high impact workouts. I have found this out through experience, believe you me!

4. EAT BREAKFAST. Don't skip it. Skipping meals and not providing the body with the sufficient fuel it needs will make the body revert to starvation mode, which actually aids in STORING fat. And we don't want that, do we? This is very important if you want to burn fat fast.

5. Eat less carbs.  You will see quite clearly how you can balance this out in life. I am not saying cut them out completely and never have a good piece of fresh French bread ever again. But if your body has less carbs to burn, then again, it will look for something else to burn. Yes! Like the body fat you want to burn off fast and get rid of. The book has great meal plans and recipes for those "Good Girl" days and also for those "Bad Girl" days. You have to read it. You will learn how to lose weight fast and you will love to see how to fast you will see results.

Well, I hope that helps. I am looking forward to hearing from you and please, feel free to drop me a line anytime. You can have fun and stay looking foxy!  I do!

Watch out, here it comes....

Well, it's here kids...the book called "Recipebook for Bad Girls" will be available on iTunes and Smartphones shortly and is already available at Amazon's Kindle.  Download it today!

This is a small collection of my naughty but oh-so-good recipes from scratch that will make your whole weekend.  I am so excited.  If you like food, you'll LOVE these recipes!

By the way, there is a perk to being a good girl most of the week, exercising and keeping active.  I recently moved to a cool new house (I LOVE this house, the owner really did a great job restoring and preserving the mid-century features in not only the home itself, but the yard and exterior features!) and I not only exercised normally but I was hauling boxes and lifting and moving all day for three days!  And you bet your bottom dollar I was hungry.

Well, these days was the perfect time to have my treats.  I earned it!  My other half took me out to a nice sushi dinner and I was famished.  But I ate moderately still and knew when to stop.  As my activity level was so high, I digested my food immediately and moved on to dessert...red bean japanese ice cream.  Delicious!

Anyhow, Fall is here and here we are.  So let's get in the Fall mood and eat how we want to eat and still look foxy.  Low fat recipes are not that bad!  They are actually tasty with the right spices!  Buy the book.  GET ACTIVE!  Don't sit around on computers or in cars for hours on end.  Get moving!  Literally.

It's very easy to be a bad girl much too often in Vegas with all of the delicious eats and endless posh bars in town.  I went out last night with friends and still managed to be good (until I slipped up and had a piece of Wolfgang Puck Pesto pizza at 4am, but anyhow).  With all of this nightlife at my fingertips, it inspired me to let you know of a couple of easy cheats to have different kinds of cocktails while you are out or at a party without ruining your "Good Girl" days.

Feeling Blue is GOOD (In certain circumstances)

Here are just a few tricks and tips that I thought I would share that keep my girlish figure nice and trim.  I experimented with a ton of things from celebrity diets and found that these things actually work!  Mind over matter is a great practice to implement, as the mind is half the battle to accomplishing anything.  If you mind says you can, than the lovely body follows.

1.  Tapas style meals.  I like to eat a lot of different things in small amounts, preferably on cute little dishes.  I like to try a variety/sampling of foods in one meal, and even when all of that adds up, it's still far less calories than a whopping one dish monster on a huge plate.  Plus it's more fun and the strange thing is, it makes me feel like I'm having a little tea party like you did when we were all little.  Ha!

2.  Blue dress, blue plate, blue blue blue all around.  Eat off a BLUE salad-sized plate, wear more blue dresses and articles of clothing in your wardrobe, etc.  Scientific research shows that blue is the least appetizing color, and eating with that color plate will decrease your appetite and help you lose weight fast and easily.  Notice how all fast food restaurants are colored in oranges, reds and yellows?  Those colors are the ones that actually get people in the mood to eat.  But not blue!

3.  Stay BUSY.  For me when I am busy and running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I eat far less and actually forget sometimes (which isn't great, so that's not a good thing).  But it's true...if you are out and about and going and doing and getting things done or even just keeping busy with extra ciricular activities, you just don't think about it.

Guess what?  I am now an "expert author"  on EzineArticles.com!  I will be featured on their home page in two days! It's an honor and I am so excited!!!

If you want to lose the maximum amount of weight in a short amount of time, you have to download the book.  I have an emergency starter fast weight loss plan that kicks those pounds off your bod.  

What do you have to lose?  Except those pounds of course.

I will be back with more exciting news tomorrow....

Calorie Burn While Washing the Car? Hmmmmmm.....

I thought this vintage car wax ad was cool, so I thought I would share it with y'all.  But here's another side note...how many calories do you burn while washing your car?

You should be surprised how many calories you burn while doing normal activities.  For instance, if I washed, dried and waxed my car for 30 minutes, I would have burnet 118 calories!  I know, it's very exciting.  Well, there are a multitude of activities that we don't count as "exercise" but we burn cals just the same.

For instance, do you know that housecleaning burns calories?  Walking to the store instead of driving?  Obviously.  But did you know that cooking even burns calories?   Yes, if you cook for an hour, you can burn between 100 - 139 calories!  And yes, even if you are just standing, you can burn calories.  Crazy, eh?

I found this interesting site that calculates how many calories you burn doing a variety of standard activities if you just enter your weight and how long you were doing that activity.  I would check it out...and also you can figure out how many calories you are burning per day in conjunction with how many calories you are ingesting.  I find it kind of fun, but then, I am a fanatic so you be the judge.

Even if I were to spend the time calculating everything I did in one day, I would still need to exercise for my own alone time and peace of mind.  I love knowing that I had exercised and that it's out of the way.  And another tip - I found if you exercise in the morning before you eat anything at all, your body burns fat instead of the carbs from the food you just ate!  It's brilliant that our bodies are like computers.  It searches for carbs to burn, but since you haven't eaten since the night before and there isn't anything to burn, it defaults and searches for something else to burn, which are fat cells.  It's a fabulous thing.

Anyhow, if you buy the book in the next couple of weeks, I will email you the bonus cookbook for free.  Just email me and ask!

I was written up TWICE on Yahoo Answers as being the best answer for diet and exercise tips...it worked for them and it can work for you, if you're interested, boys and girls.  I know what I am talking about.  I will keep my girlish figure until the end of time and still have a LOT of fun.

Get to know "Rover" a bit better while getting your "Bettie" Bod

You know who you are.  You are so busy that you don't spend much time with your ol' four legged pal who wishes you could spend more time with him (or her).   So why not kill two birds with one stone and take him out with you while you exercise in the mornings or evenings or whenever you get your lazy ass up? Just kidding, of course.  But you catch my drift, don't you?  Burn belly fat fast while you take your furry friend out and make both of you happy.  It's brilliant!

You can take him to your neighborhood park or just around town.  I would take a dog walking wherever I wanted to just walk to and hang out, even though I had never been there before.  I still do take long walks or bike rides investigating old Downtown Vegas.  There are so many facets of Vegas that it keeps unfolding and unfolding showing more to discover.  It's quite fascinating.  So I would take along "Rover" for the ride.  Why not?  Plus, it's a great conversation starter with the opposite sex if you gals are single and looking.  There!  See, THREE purposes when you take your pet out with you...exercise, companionship and a date-magnet.  Now who could ask for more than that. 

Now here is a tasty easy low fat recipe for those hot summer days that I found online and am going to try - maybe tonight!  So I thought I would share and then we can all give our thoughts on this.

Cold Cucumber Soup

Ingredients:

1 (32-ounce) carton non-fat plain yogurt 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill, or to taste 1 clove garlic, crushed 2 medium cucumbers, peeled, seeded and chopped (reserve 1/2 cup) Salt to taste

Directions:

In a blender, process all ingredients (except 12 cup chopped cucumber) until smooth. Stir in cucumber. Chill. Garnish with a sprig of dill.

Write me and tell me what you cool cats think of that one!  Cheers and I have plenty of low fat recipes in the book - and there's plenty more where that came from.

Today's word, Class, is SUBSTITUTE

Summer is in full swing and if you still have not managed to be the goddess you ultimately desired, I have a few tips that will help push you over that cliff to successful bathing suit wearing.  I know, you don't want to hear it, but think of this....just little tiny changes can make all of the difference.  You want to learn how to lose the belly fat and finally throw out that one piece for a two piece?  Well, then listen up and take some notes because these little tips will help you lose weight fast.

Plain non-fat yogurt - instead of sour cream  (You won't even know the difference.  The yogurt can be used instead of mayo too in some salad dressing recipes)

Iced-tea with Splenda - instead of soda  (There are a TON of really tasty teas out there.  There isn't enough time to try them all, there are so many good ones!)

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter instead of butter

Sparkling water instead of Tonic (that one is for you suave vodka tonic folk out there.  Believe me, it tastes really refreshing with a twist of lemon or lime!)

Splenda instead of sugar (that's an obvious one)

Rice cakes instead of crackers or bread (Go ahead and eat your chicken or seafood salad with out the bread or crackers and eat rice cakes instead)

Walk to the store instead of driving (You will actually feel better doing this and younger, as most adults sit at computers and drive where ever they need to go)

Night bike riding instead of TV

You will see the changes right away if you make these small little changes.  It's not that hard, boys and girls.  When you're a summer swim suit doll you'll thank me.

I also found a great site that I wanted to share to keep in the festive summertime vibe...it's a place called Tiki Drink Recipes and they have a fabulous collection and social network for all the tiki drinks your little heart desires and more.  Check them out, CLICK HERE

Well, I am off to an appointment around Rancho and Alta (I LOVE it over there, very beautiful historic Vegas neighborhood and swank), but I will be stopping at the store and getting ingredients for one of these tropical pieces of heaven in a glass for later.  Trying to convince a doll to go to a pool here with me.  Let's see if I succeed.

Catcha later and drop me a line....I am free of the Rio and back in the saddle!

Yee-Hah! Time for Outdoor Cookin'! (And it's HEALTHY too)

Well, we are coming up on Fourth of July (and it is DAMN hot here in Vegas) so pick a nice shady spot underneath a tree and BBQ to your hearts content.  Here are some ideas to kick off the BBQ and not make you feeling bloated in the heat (wherever you are).

1.  MAKE A SPICE RUB FOR YOUR MEAT.  There are plenty of non-salt induced spice rubs that you can use for chicken or beef.  Make a mixture of olive oil, paprika, pepper, oregano, rosemary and thyme.  You can email me for a couple of great recipes.  Spices, in ANY dish, makes all of the difference.

2.  GRILL VEGGIES.  All you have to do is take a bunch of squash cut up, tomatoes, onions, red peppers, whatever.  Put a tiny bit of, yes again, olive oil and roast them for a few minutes over the open fire.  Delicious.

3.  FREEZE YOGURT.  Yes!  You can make yogurt pops in the freezer with non-fat yogurt, splenda, strawberries, mango, whatever is in season, stick it all in a blender, pour it and stick it in the freezer in an ice cube tray or mold and it's fantastic AND low cal and fat free!  This is one of my personal favorites.

4.  MAKE SUN TEA.  Stick a container out there in the sun with your favorite tea bags in it and let the sun do the work.  Then, put in the fridge for a while.  Later, pour into a glass and add ice.  Stupendous!

5.  MAKE VODKA COOLERS $100 DIET STYLE.  Just put a shot of vodka, fill the rest of the glass with no sodium sparkling water (like Perrier or Pellegrino) and add a twist of lime or lemon.  Hits the spot with VERY little calories and very refreshing.

Well, boys and girls, there are my tips.  If you had a "Day Off" recently and need a remedy for the holidays while enjoying your goodies, this is it!  I have found it most satisfying.

Cheers to the upcoming holiday....

Isn't this the MOST

Well, I found this online from Bombshell Betty and couldn't resist.  This is perfect for scribbling notes and such, like grocery lists, what you swore you wouldn't forget to do or even love notes (sigh).  Anyhow, I thought this was "the most", so I thought for no reason at all, I would post it.

Fitting, too, as I am STILL at the WSOP at the Rio and it's about to go into full swing tournaments.  Whoa.  Talk about people who need to lose belly fat.  Man-boobs and big butts and guts - Oh My!  Yes, a lot of it is quite hideous, but it gives me time to write to you fine folks while on my breaks.  

Here's a tip...if you want to lose belly fat and you are working out but nothing is happening, here's what you do:  Work out in the morning BEFORE you eat.  Why, you ask?  Because as you are sleeping, your body is burning up calories just for normal body functions and you haven't eaten for a long time.  When you work out in the morning, your body doesn't really have too many calories to burn off and no carbs to burn off either.  It therefore "defaults" and will automatically burn fat fast, as it has nothing else to burn.  Then, eat promptly afterwards when done.  It works!

Well, back to chatting with poker players......
