If Only I Could Lose Weight Fast February 2, 2009

Posted by Pat in : nothing in particular , add a comment

You have to wear that old dress or suit and now you have to lose weight?  Lose weight too fast and you could harm your body.  Fad diets, extreme fasting and other fast weight loss methods may work but they can also cause you to lose muscle, counter productive to a long term weight loss program, and can cause damage to your heart and other internal organs.  Here are some tips to safely shed weight fast.

Since losing weight is simply expending more calories than you take in, figure out exactly what you take in.  Keep a written record of every morsel, for at least a week.  That means everything, every morsel, every sample, every sip of water.  Then write down the calories in each of these foods and drinks. Check out this great Online Dieting site video.  

Now that you know the calories you consume, start cutting.  This can be as simple as cutting down on portion sizes.  Remember, most restaurants and even people at home serve portions that are far larger than they should be.  There are a lot of other simple cuts that don’t significantly change what you eat.  Soda and juice, cake, cookies, butter, get rid of  them.  Salad dressing is the largest source of calories on most dinner tables!  Getting used to the healthy taste of a salad with a pinch of lemon juice makes a big difference.  Get rid of white bread, sugar and carbs.  These can easily be substituted with sugar substitutes and whole grain breads.

An easy place to target for calorie cutting is the side dish.  This portion of the meal often holds more calories than the main course.  Make a switch to healthy foods, or cut out the sides completely.

Build up some muscle to increase muscle mass and metabolism.  That leads to burning more calories even when sitting still.  Aerobic exercise is the best for calorie and fat burning.  Many experts say to enjoy aerobic activity for 30 minutes a day 3-5 days a week.  Hog wash! Make it seven days a week, which means an activity you can sustain day after day for the rest of your life.

A reliable Online Drug Store can supply diet pills to assist with weight loss and give a free prescription.

How To Invest In Penny Stocks February 2, 2009

Posted by Pat in : nothing in particular , 1 comment so far

Maintaining a penny stock website I’m often asked… “How To Invest In Penny Stocks” there really is no great mystery.

Step One… Make the decision that you are going to make investments systematically.  There are a lot of people who have bought penny stocks, watched it slide, and then never looked again on what might have been a excellent chance for gains.

Step Two… Be sure that the capital you have for investing purposes is capital that you can afford to lose.  While we have a great track record at http://whisperfromwallstreet.com we’re not perfect and there isn’t anyone who can bat a thousand.  The most important part of investing is to do so regularly.

Step Three… Set up an account with an online brokerage house, many of these can be opened for as little as $500, and added to as necessary.  If you don’t have $500 (see step four below)…

Step Four… Save a little bit every month that you plan to use for investing.  While I can’t give you an exact percentage, 10% of your monthly salary would be a good starting point.

Step Five…
Join a penny stock newsletter that you trust.  How can you trust one, check their advice over time and weed out the ones that do not deliver.

Step Six… Prior to making your first actual investment, paper trade (practice trading) so you’ll know how you would have done from one day to the next.

Good penny stocks afford you the opportunity for quick and substantial return on investment.  Even if you’ve been stung in the past, take the time to explore them in detail.
