Samantha Michaels

Samantha Michaels was born in 1973 in the small town of Abington, PA and was raised and still lives in Hatboro, PA (both suburbs of Philadelphia).  She is married to her high school sweetheart and they have a rescue dog, a beautiful Black Lab named Holly. When she's’not writing or working at her full-time job, she enjoys watching her Philly sports team (hopefully) win, listening to heavy metal/hard rock music, Texas Hold Em, reading, and spending time with friends and family. Her love of reading began at a young age, thanks to her mother and Sesame Street.  Her mom read to her constantly, and by three years old, she was reading on her own, and hasn’t stopped.  This eventually turned into a love of writing.  She was writing for herself and then for a small group of friends, one of whom told her she should be writing books.  She took her friends advice and has since published several romance books with plenty more on the way.

    CHAPTER 1- HOW TO PREPARE FOR A DIET

    Know The Basics

    When going on a diet, knowing the basic things of what you need to know is like you have actually won half of the battle. Remember that only fools go to battle without weapons, so it is very important for you to make sure that you have yours with you.

    As you go to battle weight loss, you need to be armed with the necessary knowledge about some things. These must be the first and foremost amongst your plans. In the course of your weight loss process, you will encounter some words and concepts that you need to be familiar with; otherwise you would find it difficult to understand how weight loss works. This knowledge will guide you all throughout your journey to weight loss.

    What are the things that you need to know?

    1.Body Mass Index (BMI) – Body mass index is a measurement base that will allow you to know whether or not you are overweight based on your body mass. The body mass is determined by one’s body weight in relation to his height, which means that as the height increases, the weight should increase as well. If the both of the measurements are not proportionate, this could either mean that you are overweight or underweight. Knowing this could help you determine if you’re indeed overweight and if so, to what extent.

    2.Blood Type – Knowing your blood type is also important. Each blood type has a different characteristic in relation to one’s diet. In fact, a lot of doctors have already used this technique in prescribing certain diet plans for their overweight patients.

    Knowing your blood type can actually help you avoid the foods that your body can’t handle well. Blood types determine among others, the acidity level of the stomach. The acid in the stomach helps in digestion, so it is really a big factor to consider in everyone’s diet. Some blood types have low acidity level fit for meat’s digestion and protein breakdown while others have a hard time digesting carbohydrates. Knowing these things can help you avoid, or at least eat in moderation certain food types.

    3.Body Shape – Your body shape determines which part of your body needs the most focus when it comes to your weight loss workouts. There are two types of body shape – the pear and apple shape. The pear shape is called as such because just like the pear fruit, the body shape is wider from the waist down. On the other hand, apple-shaped people have a wider upper body figure which slimmer from the waist down.

    It is important for you to know these distinctions because each body shape has a different characteristic. Pear-shaped bodies tend to accumulate fats on the lower part of the body such as legs, hips and thighs. On the other hand, apple-shaped bodies tend to accumulate fats on the middle part of the body, particularly the stomach.

    4.Basic Food Characteristics – For you to be able to know which foods are good for you, you must first know the characteristics of the food you eat. Are they high in carbohydrates? Rich in protein? Full of fats? Once you already know these things, you’ll be able to choose your food wisely according to what your body needs.

    5.Types of Fats – You have to know that fats are not totally bad for your body. In fact, your body particularly your skin and hair needs fats in order to stay and look healthy. The next question is, what types of fat should you take?

    There are actually two types of fats: the good and the bad. Good fats include omega-3 fatty acids which are good for the heart while bad fats are composed of trans and saturated fat which are harmful to the body. These types of fats will be discussed further on the next chapter of this book.

    *Shortcut Cheat Tip: Know as much as possible about your body and don’t skip an unfamiliar thing without knowing it.

    CHAPTER 2- PHASE 1: BODY DETOXIFICATION

    Flushing out the toxins in your body is one of the first things that you need to do to kick start your weight loss program. Note that your body needs to be in good condition before it can function properly. Below are the tips that would help you flush out excess water and toxins for the first week of your weight loss program (Day 1- 5).

    Cutting Salt

    Salt helps the body retain water. It absorbs water and stores it inside the body where it can’t be flushed out easily. This is exactly what you should avoid. Superficial increase in weight may be caused by retained water, which should be able to go down as soon as the retained water is flushed out.
