Those last 10lbs and FIR Therapy!
Jun 14th, 2006 by admin
Can you believe that summer is literally right around the corner? Honestly, I am not as prepared for the season as I thought I would be. My News Years resolution this year was to get in shape and be ready by summer! That would give me from January to June to achieve my goal. So while I logged all those Desperate Houswives hours and read about 15 books, I completely forgot about my New Years resolution. Go figure!
At this point I am willing to admit that I am not ready for summer! Between the house, kids, husband and everyone’s daily activities, I, like many moms out there put my own desires and needs last in line. By the time everyone was taken care of I was too tired to do anything other than veg out. And those last 10lbs that have been plaguing me are still resting right on my hips and like many women out there I would give my right arm for that quick fix that will make it go away. I would like to tell you that I have discovered a weight loss fairy that can make all of your dreams come true. But sadly, I have not. What I do have is a great way to help make your last 10lbs melt away much faster than you thought. You may even get a bit of stress relief and relaxation in the process!
Did you know that one of the many benefits of far infrared sauna therapy is the amount of calories that a person can burn just by sweating for a half hour? In just one half hour sauna session you could burn between 600-900 calories! With a reduced calorie diet and exercise program you could see those last 10lbs melt away right before your eyes! For many adults the standard daily caloric intake should be between 1600-2800 calories per day. This guideline is documented in the Food Pyramid Guide published by the USDA. This is quite a large range.
Your caloric intake should be based on age and activity level. If you wondering which end of the scale do you fall into, I would suggest that you visit the USDA online pamphlet at http://www.usda.gov/cnpp/pyrabklt.pdf. The human body will burn roughly the same amount of calories that it takes in on a daily basis for energy, so if you base your overall intake of 2000 calories per day, your system will burn those calories and you will maintain your current weight. On the flip side, if you add 30 minutes of far infrared sauna therapy you can burn an additional 600-900 calories, which will help to promote weight loss. Add 30 minutes of cardio, 3 times a week and the possibilities are endless!
Now, if you are thinking who has 30 minutes to sit and do nothing? I have some advise for you. Take that book you are reading at night after you put the kids to bed and read it in your SaunGen far infrared sauna… grab the remote and watch your favorite TV show while you sit in your sauna! Not only will FIR sauna therapy help you to loose those last 10 lbs, but it will help you become a happier, healthier person. I don’t know about you, but I am off to grab my book, towel and big glass of water; I am more than ready to shed those last few pounds! Wish me luck…
