License: Freeware

Once you have started losing weight, it is crucial to think of how to maintain that weight loss in the days ahead. It may seem hard to believe, but taking the weight off is the easy part. Maintaining weight loss for good is where the real challenge lies. People lose lots of weight on diets everyday, but 95% of them gain it back because they have focused only on the weight loss.They follow the diet until they get to a particular number on the scale and then shortly after, they go back to the old lifestyle that made them overweight in the first place. Of course, over time the weight comes right back.

Strength Training
License: Freeware
Price: 0.00

Strength training is the most productive form of exercise.There are some basic principles that must be followed if you want to enjoy the which strength training has to offer. Progressive overload simply means that you must force your muscles to work harder each time. That means you can't use the same weight every workout, regardless of how many sets or reps you do. The best way to do this is by attempting to increase the resistance/weight used and/or increase the number of repetitions performed at each workout. The speed of the movement is also an important element of each exercise. A reasonable training pace is one to two seconds for the lifting (concentric) portion of the exercise and three to four seconds for the lowering (eccentric) portion of the move.

Soy And Isoflavones
License: Freeware
Price: 0.00

Soybeans and other legumes are excellent sources of fiber. An average serving of cooked dry beans contains about 10 grams of fiber. Whole soybeans and foods made from them, such as soy flour, textured soy protein (also known as TVP) and tempeh, are extremely rich in fiber. However, some soy foods, like tofu and soymilk, contain very little fiber due to the way they are processed. Tofu, for example, leaves most of it's fiber behind in processing when the milk is squeezed from the soybean. Reading the Nutrition Facts label to find out the amount of, and the type of fiber contained in any particular food is always wise.
