Exercising With Injuries or Disabilities
If you have started or are considering starting The Every Other Day diet and you have injuries or disabilities. you may be wondering if you can still lose weight. The answer is yes and I have been there myself.
In April of 2008 I was in a car accident that left me with a severe back injury. I was on the EODD Diet at the time and having great results. I really did not want to lose all of the progress I had made thus far.
Because of the injury I knew I would have to stop doing the exercise routines that I had been doing for the past year. I told my doctor about my worries and decided to take his advice and go to physical therapy.
My physical therapist was awesome and helped me form a plan that would allow me to continue exercising as long as it was done with care and on the plan he and I designed.
The plan involved a lot of walking and uper body exercises done in my chair. Combined with my twice weekly therapy he told me I should continue my weight loss close to the pace I was on before the accident.
I canceled my gym membership and bought some dumbbells.
Within 6 months I had healed enough to go back to the gym and started back on my regular routines. The therapist thinks the exercise during my rehab combined with the continued weight loss really helped to speed the healing.
The point of this post is to let my readers facing this kind of problem is to not give up! Find a way to make it work for you.
Be sure to consult your doctor or therapist before starting though.
Are You Shaped Like a Pear? Fat Loss Explained
Lets get clear about our goals and what fat loss really means ok? I have been guilty of writing extensively about weight loss, but that is probably the wrong terminology.
The truth is what we are all trying to accomplish while dieting is fat loss. Fat loss is losing fat and not burning away muscle. Many times people have dieted and lost weight, but still have not burned fat and maintained muscle mass.
A great analogy would be looking at a person who is shaped like a pear. You can all picture a pear in your mind right? Small at the head and then widening down to the bottom.
Many times people lose a bunch of wehttp://eodddiet.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=97&action=editight only to find that they have become a smaller pear. The results are not what they were expecting.
The trick is to build or maintain your musculature and lose body fat. This will change your shape in a very pleasing way.
The way you can do this is to use the power of the Every Other Day Diet and it's sister product 7 minute Body. This is the fat blasting combination that will ultimately give you that hour glass shape you desire.
The most amazing thing about 7 Minute Body (formerly Seven Minute Muscle) is that it is all about maximizing results in the least amount of time possible. You can do the exercises at home or at the gym and still get tremendous results in a fraction of the time other workouts take.
I personally split my time at home and the gym just to break things up a bit. I also like socializing more than working out so this is the perfect system. Combined with the freedom of the Every Other Day Diet Eating plan I can live on these systems for life.
7 minute Muscle and EODD Can Get You Toned!
If you think that you will never have rock hard abs again - or ever - you may be wrong. I have come to see my body looking better than ever before by combining the Every Other Day Diet and 7 Minute Body (Used to be 7 Minute Muscle).
The amazing thing is that I am spending way less time in the gym or exercising at home than I was before, The brilliance of this exercise program is it is based on saving time while maximizing results.
The EODD Diet plan is designed to help me lose weight without burning muscle and the 7 Minute muscle program is helping me to build muscle up.
This combination has lead myself and thousands of others to the best bodies of thier lives (At least since we were teenagers anyway).
So if you have given up on having a body you would love to take to the beach maybe you should take notice. People who have struggled their whole life with weight problems find a way to lose weight every day. You can be one of them - Never Give Up!!!
I love writing this blog because it inspires me to stay on the exercise and diet plans. By sharing my insights with you I am actually motivating myself to stay the course. If only a few people find this site and make a life changing discovery then it is all worth it!
The EODD Diet and 7 Minute Muscle
The EODD diet program has a sister product that is offered while you are checking out. It is called 7 minute muscle and it is an extremely simple and time saving exercise program that boasts an age range of 8 to 81!
When you buy the Every Other Day Diet you have an opportunity to get 7 minute muscle ( It's new name is 7 Minute Body) for 75% off. I went ahead and bought it because it seemed like a good deal and would help me with my weight loss.
This was probably the best decision I could have made for two reasons:
1. The EODD diet book doesn't have a comprehensive fitness program inside of it.
2. 7 Minute muscle is the Bomb!
The Every Other Day Diet plan has an outline of what you are supposed to do to fulfill the exercise requirements for the diet, but it is definitely not a blueprint like I needed.
7 Minute Muscle is that blueprint and so much more. It has given me the ability to cut my exercise down in time, but build my body to the best it has ever been. I can honestly say thet for the first time in my life I enjoy exercise. I used to hate going to the gym!
Of course I only go to the gym when I have time. Because 7 Minut Body shows you how to do the routines at home as well, I always have time to exercise regularly.
