Top 25 Best YouTube Fitness Channels 2025

The year 2025 has been another incredible year for YouTube Fitness Channel Creators, with more fitness enthusiasts than ever before getting their workouts, recipes, and fit tips for free from the best gurus in the world going into 2025. New YouTube Fitness Pros have arisen, and a few have faded, and overall it was more competitive than ever before! I know all about Fitness YouTube channels from personal experience because sometimes it is very tough to get subscribers and viewers going up against or alongside these fitness and media legends! It is not easy to compete against these YOLO lean legends ON A DAI-LY BASIS (as Fitness YouTuber Lui Marco would say) because they are incredibly good at what they do in 2025. 

Fitness Content Creators Wanted To Make Money Online Here

As The Frugal Fitness Guru crushing fitness costs worldwide, I think YouTube is fantastic medium for promoting a healthier lifestyle to the masses, no matter what a person's budget might be! 

All you need is internet connection, some creativity, and dedication to educate and motivate yourself to a higher fitness level with these channels! And if you want a lesson in YouTube Marketing, these are the top YouTube fitness channels and fit creators to learn from in 2025!

After the success of my epic list last year, I decided I need to make this an annual thing. Please keep in mind that this is not my list of the best YouTube Fitness Channels of All Time, this is based on content and viewership! If a channel made huge improvements and jumps in viewership this year, their rank will reflect that. I have spent an enormous amount of time over the years watching top YouTube fitness channels and videos, and my professional experience along with many credentials in the fitness industry are quite strong. And while Frugal Fitness TV may not statistically be one of the Top 25 Best YouTube Fitness Channels of 2025 in the world, it is still pretty good and nothing to sneeze at, so I encourage you to check out the fit videos as well.

And Now The Countdown To The Best of YouTube FIT... 

25 Top Fitness YouTube Channels For 2025

1. Frugal Fitness TV by Mike Schiemer

Frugal Fitness TV is one of the original YouTuber fitness destinations. It covers a lot of topics in fitness, bodybuilding, athletics, sports medicine, wellness, nutrition, and health on a budget. If you don't have much money for your workouts and diet, try these exercises and recipes that won't break the bank. Improve your frugality, health, and wealth with this top-ranked YouTube channel!

2. Vince Delmonte Fitness

The YouTube Fitness legend formerly known as "Skinny Vinny" and the Hard gainer's hero was one of the first successful YouTube fitness gurus and he is very well known. Some people think of him more of a sleazy salesman and reminiscent of "The Situation" from Jersey Shore but those people are clearly missing out. Ya see, Vince is the authority and is actually extremely intelligent, knows his stuff, and also consults and befriends some of the best in the fitness industry including Tony Horton (P90X aka Beach Body), Lee Hayward (see him below), and his figure competitor wife Flavia. Just like last year, my main beef with him (not personally but just in regards to this ranking list), is that he uploads most of his best and complete videos to his paid video subscription Live Large TV. It is not expensive and it is very high-quality stuff, and YouTube was giving him problems that pushed him in that direction, but that still doesn't help all of his followers that can't see all his videos.

3. Kara Leigh

OK enough with the legends, here is a great and promising newcomer to the YouTube Fitness circuit. Kara is a Registered Dietitian and Bikini Competitor and has some great videos for you including workouts, recipes, nutrition tips, competition posing / prep / routines, dieting, and much more for men and women alike. She caught the eye of this year's winners The Hodge Twins, Lui Marco, and more and with good reason. Her channel has grown incredibly fast so look for her channel to continue it is great progress in content and a strong following. Keep up the great work on your fitness videos Kara!

4. Kodjo Workouts

Follow fitness pro Kodjo as he takes you through his nearly 300 toning, muscle building, and home workouts that will take your fitness level further than you thought possible. Great exercise demonstrations to really help you master the details of each movement to get a better overall workout. If you aren't subscribed to him yet, he's got a different video for you to watch every day of your new year for a new you!

5. Rob Riches

Rob Riches is one of the world's most famous male fitness models, and he's got some incredible videos to motivate and inspire you. From his 600 lb squats, to his lean bodybuilding recipes, to his muscle group workouts, you'll learn some wisdom from one of the most accomplished men in the fitness industry today. He's a role model and idol to many YouTube fitness viewers and creators, including Scott Herman and myself. Plenty to learn from this top Fitness YouTuber.

6. Strength Project

Arash for the win! This guy is a gymnast mixed with a martial artist mixed with a bodybuilder mixed with a parkour mixed with who knows what else. He can teach you how to do flips, bodyweight training, muscle building, and pretty much anything else you can think of. He's got tons of videos and a following as fierce as his six pack!

7. Brad Scott Fitness

Fitness model Brad Scott was a newcomer last year to the YouTube fitness scene but this year he really came into his own. He doubled his videos to about 300 and at least quadrupled his viewership! He has got some great Six Pack Insanity workouts, home training, gym training, beach training, fitness modeling tips, and much more. All around great guy that is all about helping his audience and answering their questions.

8. Amanda Russell

Amanda Russell is a YouTube Fitness and Frugal Fashion legend! She is the winner of YouTube's "Next Up Trainer" competition and with good reason. This rags to riches success story has taken NYC, Beverly Hills, and the world by storm with her amazingly effective yet affordable workouts and style. She has trained some of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood and The Big Apple, she was interviewed and worked with top names in the fitness industry including just recently "Fitness Made Simple" founder and legend John Basedow! Amanda is a great example of frugal fitness and improving your own wealth and health with creativity, education, and perseverance! Subscribe to her fit YouTube channel NOW to boost your frugal fitness fast!

9. Physique of Greatness

These YouTube fitness videos are amazing. I'm pretty new actually to Physique of Greatness but this channel is awesome. Videos and workouts that pump you up and entertain the heck out of you as well. Might not be the best one for young children to watch (a few obscenities), but hey whatever works for them! They lift heavy enough weight I am not going to tell them to stop! Hardcore lifting and bodybuilding here with plenty of wise training and nutrition advice as well to top it off on this popular YouTube fitness channel in 2025!

10. BarStarzz

Do you think bodyweight training is for wimps and scrawny guys? Well a) you are a moron and b) these guys will show you why in a thousand different ways. Incredible bodyweight acrobatics, feats of strength, ripped physiques, tutorials, and workouts that will make you tired just from watching. You will never look at the neighborhood playground the same way again after watching this channel.

11. Jeff Cavalier's AthleanX

Physical Therapist and former Pro Strength Coach Jeff Cavalier wants you to train like an athlete if you want to achieve their powerful and cut physiques! That is why this former New York Met's strength and conditioning coach and physical therapist developed AthleanX, which focuses on functional training and athletic movements instead of just traditional bodybuilding and powerlifting exercises. Great free and intelligent advice from a sports medicine professional and trainer to many professional athletes.

12. Bob Harper

Obviously Bob Harper is from the cultural phenomenon The Biggest Loser and this is his fitness channel started in 2010. His videos on everything from weight training, to aerobics, to nutrition, and recipes are all well done. But due to his level of mainstream success, his channel is probably run almost completely by another company and it just doesn't have that personal touch that most of these other channels have. It is a great channel overall but just a little too corporate for me (I guess it is my inner frugality).

13. Brad Gouthro

Fitness model and author Brad Gouthro's relatively new channel Live Lean TV is one of the biggest new developments on the scene this year. He is ripped to shreds, has incredible quality videos, videos on every topic health and fitness imaginable, and he posts videos 5 days a week every week! Watch his great stuff and see his channel continue to grow exponentially with his enthusiasm and expertise leading the charge in 2025!

14. Czech Fitness Girl Simona

Simona, the Czech Fitness Girl, is taking a page out of Zuzana Light's book by combining Eastern European beauty and rock solid muscle. Simona is arguably in just as good of shape as Zuzana and pumps out plenty of great sexy fitness videos, many set to trance and techno music (not my cup of tea personally but a lot of people like that stuff). Her 3 YouTube Channels combine for about 10k subscribers and several million views! Not too shabby! And unlike Zuzana, she also does a great job interacting with her fans and helping to answer their questions on fitness and workouts!

15.  Scooby's Home Bodybuilding & Fitness

I consider Scooby the (grand)father of YouTube fitness since he started as early as it gets (2006) and he just so happens to be about 50 years old. The Godfather of Fitness YouTube is supposedly steroid free, but I actually do believe that because he's been working out his whole life and applies an engineer's (that's his primary vocation) analytical mind to the pursuit of bodybuilding. I like his workouts that only involve training at home with minimal weights and workout equipment, and focusing on excellent form, nutrition, and the mastering the basics. Scooby has truly helped millions and if this was a list of Top 25 Fitness Channels EVER he would be right up at the top at #1. He has put out some great videos this year but a slow pace. This old man is still pretty darn good for a full time engineer and 55 year old man!

16. Brandon Collingwood of Shake Lightly

Brandon Collingwood is a rare mix of fitness intelligence, comedy, and positive attitude that results in a YouTube channel unlike any other. Oh yeah, and the guy's ripped to shreds. He's in ridiculous shape and is still actually a cool guy! Some of his videos are hilarious, some ridiculous, and some you might just learn something! This California-based personal trainer has been in the fitness industry helping clients of all kinds for a decade. The world is getting to know him, he's got nearly 8k subscribers and closing in on 2 million views!

17. Choose Fitness

Another huge up-and-coming fitness icon is Jack Nauss of Choose Fitness, an 18 year old natural bodybuilder and rising fitness personality. Great workouts, tips, motivation, positive attitude, big physique, and an excellent work ethic make this guy a role model for anyone to follow, young or old, men or women. Besides having huge potential for a lengthy successful career in bodybuilding and fitness, Jack might be one of the best in the world in the social media and entrepreneurship department for his age. Look for him to keep climbing this list in years to come and start dominating the industry before he is just 28 right now!

18. Underground Wellness

This guy has uploaded some good stuff! All kinds of great fitness, nutrition, weight loss, and gastrointestinal health videos here as Sean Croxton tackles all topics! The guy also got over 40k subscribers, nearly 10 million views, and over 200 videos which are all pretty well done. You can learn a lot from Underground Wellness!

19. Davey Wavey Fitness

Davey Wavey has been a YouTube personality for a long time and he has a huge fan base. He has always been into fitness but his fitness-specific channel is relatively new and on its way up. He now has over 40 videos on fitness, nutrition, and motivation and his channel was chosen as a contestant on YouTube's Next Up Trainer. He has got some great tips and workouts, and is clearly very intelligent, well-spoken, and in great shape. His affiliation with Scott Herman Fitness also ensures his continued channel growth. Check out his channel today!

20. Brandon Carter

Well for those of you who don't know, Brandon Carter used to have one of the biggest fitness YouTube channels a year ago, but it was terminated "due to repeated counts of copyright infringement and violations" or something along those lines. Now I know from personal experience that slaps on the wrist from Google can be deserving, or they can be from things out of your control (haters, people with good intentions but dumb actions, etc). Anyways, he has had to start new channels which is always rough, but Brandon has some great fitness workouts, tips, motivation, physique, and he's even a musician as well! Check out his new and improved stuff and support a YouTube fitness legend as he rebuilds his empire!

21. Lui Marco

I salute Lui Marco ON A DAI-LY BASIS! This guy is a machine, between his 3 top YouTube fitness channels he has well over 1,000 videos, over 50,000 subscribers, and tons of millions of views. This guy is the French Canadien Jean Claude Van Dam of Fitness (I think I only said that because of his accent haha) as he discusses every single aspect of health, fitness, and the YOLO lifestyle. Lui tells it like is on every single topic of fitness including the ones that nobody wants to talk about like steroids, fasting, industry boneheads, what supplements are bogus, and what to do with those pesky haters. Lui is diced to the socks and salutes you on your quest to a higher level of fitness, and knows his nearly endless supply of videos can help you significantly.

22. BodyRock TV

So BodyRock TV doesn't have Zuzana Light anymore, but they do have the rights to all her previous videos (and their mind-blowing stats), and the new ones are still pretty amazing! Zuzana's stand-in Lisa-Marie can certainly hold her own and there are some ok videos with Freddy and Sean as well (but let's be serious, nobody goes to that channel to see Freddy and Sean or any mediocre dudes). This channel with over HALF A BILLION views and a massive amount of subscribers still producers great high quality home workout videos several times a week! While we all miss Zuzana, there are still a lot of dedicated BodyRockers out there staying with the channel and these workouts are just as intense, but just with a different accent shouting them out.

23. Zuzka Light

Zuzana Light is not a BodyRocker anymore? I know that's kind of old news now, but at first I don't think we were all 100% sure she would succeed completely on her own starting from scratch. But within a month or two her new channel Zuzka Light was kicking booty again and the former adult film star was getting people back in shape with her sultry eastern European accent and love for Burpees. In about a year, she brought in over 120,000 subscribers and over 12 million views to her new channel, while BodyRock TV continued using her replacement Lisa-Marie. 

Whether you think Zuzana's appeal is partially aesthetic, you can't deny she has some intense and effective workouts and creates some great quality videos that get people back in shape. She proves that in America everybody gets a second chance (or a third chance) and that you can always carry over success in one area to another a different realm with hard work. That is an interesting but powerful version of The American Dream right there!

24. Strength Camp

This guy is a YouTube champion of muscle knowledge! His 100,000+ subscribers, nearly 20 million views, and 600+ videos are incredible testaments to his knowledge and experience in strongman, powerlifting, bodybuilding, and fitness. THE BEAST IS HERE and his free media is very powerful indeed! Make sure you get this guy in your YouTube fitness channel subscription mix! Thank you Arash from Strength Project for the reminder through your popular YouTube fitness videos!

25. The Hodge Twins of Twin Muscle Workout

The Tag Team Champions of the World are here! ALL KINDS OF GAINS. OK these guys are officially out of control after this year. Their three top YouTube Fitness Channels have so many subscribers, views, and videos it will blow your mind. And somehow they have done it without spamming the planet like Six Pack Shortcuts. There is Twin Muscle Workout, Hodge Twins, and Ask Hodge Twins channels and their worst video will get more views, likes, and comments in a day than the best video of most mere mortals in their lifetime. 

These guys are a double whammy tackling absolutely every topic of bodybuilding, fitness, nutrition, supplements, sports, media, and life that you can possibly fathom. They post videos daily, do live shoes, answer fan questions, do live vid hangouts, give shout-outs to fans and fellow YouTube fitness creators, and have become the most recognizable faces in YouTube fitness. Talk about fitness marketing experts! These two swole bros are the reigning authority when it comes to YouTube fitness! Sorry guys, you will have to share the crown this year! I am frugal, I only bought one. Long live the kings of YouTube fitness for 2025! 

Although now I hear these top fitness YouTubers are getting a lot more political and less fit on their new videos and media in 2025. That is a shame for fitness media consumers, but I understand that even fit YouTubers need to expand their horizons and evolve long-term as I have done with my channels. The health and fitness industry creates a lot of burnout and some bodies don't last forever either, especially if you are natty. 

Top YouTube Fitness Channel Runner Up - Six Pack Shortcuts

I can't make a list without at least mentioning this top fit YouTuber Mike Chang with one of the most popular channels in YouTube Fitness, and YouTube in general. Now Mike's Six Pack Shortcuts can be a very polarizing channel: some people love the guy, and others think he's a scam and a bonehead. I think you've seen one of his YouTube AdWords ads if you have gone ANYWHERE on the internet in the past couple years (you will probably even see his ads on my site and videos!). Anyways, regardless of what anyone thinks of Mike, he has uploaded a lot of very popular videos and some of them have some great tips and/or excellent entertainment value. And since his following is so strong, although inflated by advertising, he is a force to be reckoned with in the fitness world for 2025.

So there you have it folks, my Top 25 Rankings of YouTube Creators with the Best Fitness Channels of 2025. With these YouTube Health and Fit channels, the world will be able to get in better shape with just motivation and some good WiFi. 

Check out all these leading YouTuber channels and fit social media influencers, subscribe for free, and get in the best shape of your life! It is time to rock your body for no cost.

How Soybeans Are Helping Healthcare Industry Weight Loss

The soybean plant is a legume famous for its edible bean which is consumed in a variety of ways, including in the form of soya chunks, soy milk, tofu, soy sauce, tempeh, and soybean oil. Soybean is widely used as a meat substitute but is also known for its nutritive properties and high protein content. Apart from being high in protein, soybean also contains calcium, sodium, iron, potassium, magnesium, Vitamin B-6, and Vitamin C, and is low in cholesterol. 

The health benefits of soybean included improvement in heart health, digestion, bone health, diabetes control, and blood circulation, along with relief from menopausal symptoms and sleep disorders. However, the role of soybean in promoting weight loss has emerged as a significant factor driving the demand for soybean. According to the World Health Organization, more than 2 billion adults around the world are overweight, with millions being obese. Weight loss is essential for those who are obese or over the recommended BMI, so as to avoid health complications such as cardiovascular diseases, heart conditions, stroke, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and even some cancers. 

How Soybean Is Helping The Healthcare Industry In Weight Loss 

Weight loss is a major segment of the healthcare industry that plays an important role in preventive health maintenance and in managing other health complications. Soybean is becoming a popular choice in the healthcare industry to promote weight loss, especially in the form of soybean oil, which is among the most highly consumed vegetable oils in the world. Based on the soybean oil price forecast the production of soybean oil in the current year is expected to increase by approximately 3.7 percent, as compared to the previous year. Nearly 89 percent of the soybean produced at a global level is used for crushing, with 18 percent of the soybean after crushing being used for oil, and 82 percent used for soybean meal. 

● Improved Metabolism 

Metabolism is directly proportional to the amount of calories that are burnt during day-to-day activities. An improved and faster metabolism helps in rapidly losing extra weight. Soybeans are a major source of proteins and help in boosting metabolism and overall good health. Soybean proteins also aid in the repair of damaged cells in the body. 

● Feel Fuller Longer 

In order to reduce weight, it’s necessary to modify or reduce the diet as well. Soybeans and related products have been known to act as an appetite suppressant and reduce chances of overeating as consuming soybean-based products help consumers feel fuller for a longer period of time. Feeling fuller after a meal also reduces the cravings for unhealthy snacks that often contribute to weight gain. 

● Better Blood Sugar Levels 

Since soy proteins have a low glycemic index, their consumption won’t result in a rapid rise of blood sugar levels, preventing over secretion of insulin in the body. Extra insulin production risks converting any extra sugar in the bloodstream into body fat. Foods that help maintain steady blood sugar levels and insulin secretion levels, such as soy products, help prevent fat gain and also reduce hunger cravings. 

● Low In Calories And High In Nutrients 

Many crash diets and weight loss regimes make use of food and beverage items that are not necessarily healthy for the human body in the long-term but do cause short-term weight loss. With a growing number of people, of all age groups including children, gaining weight and becoming obese, it’s necessary to consume foods that are low in calories yet also high in nutrients, such as soybean. The health benefits of soybean, along with the nutrients and vitamins present in it and the low-calorie value makes soybean an ideal food choice for those looking to lose weight. 

● Suitable For All Dietary Preferences 

Modern lifestyles have resulted in a greater prevalence of dietary preference, with more people becoming vegetarian and vegan. For the healthcare industry, soybean is an excellent alternative to fish and meat proteins for vegetarians and vegans, offering in some cases an even better source of protein and way to maintain a weight loss encouraging diet. In emerging countries or countries farther inland where fish are not as easily available, soybean product is a great substitute. 

Enjoy The Joy Of Soy!

The popularity and demand for soybean products, whether in the form of soya chunks, tofu, soy milk or soybean oil, is growing at a steady pace, driven by a more health-conscious consumer base. Soybean is full of nutrients and helps in boosting heart health, bone health, digestion and more. Apart from the general health benefits of soybean products, soybean is helping the healthcare industry in weight loss as it promotes weight loss in various ways. Soybean products are full of protein, have a low glycemic index and cause consumers to feel satiated for longer by suppressing the appetite. As the prevalence of obesity and weight gain increases worldwide, soybean is a useful and natural superfood for losing weight.

How Bariatrics Are Fighting Obesity And Related Health Issues

Obesity is a physical condition that, over the last few decades, has become a major talking point in medical circles. It is related to many other negative experiences and if left unchecked can be fatal. There are many ways to lose weight – this includes dieting and exercise. But at times, the problem is no longer approachable using these methods. 

Luckily, modern medicine and advanced surgical procedures have created more options to alleviate the burden that people who are suffering from obesity go through. Bariatric surgery has helped save lives and change lifestyles of thousands of people across the world. It is time to learn more about these methods – maybe they can be the solution you are looking for. 

What Are The Bariatric Procedures? 

Simply speaking – bariatrics includes the different medical treatments and the medical research focused on obesity. Bariatric Surgery is of many types. The main ones are gastric bypass surgery, gastric imbrication, sleeve gastrectomy, and lap band surgery. These procedures have been approved by all major medical bodies and they are performed by highly qualified surgeons. Revision bariatric surgery is also another common procedure for those who have had complications from previous surgery. 

The Many Benefits Of Bariatric Surgery 

The dangers of obesity have been well-chronicled and many health conditions that afflict people can be directly or indirectly attributed to uncontrolled weight gain. Bariatric surgery can sometimes be the best way out of this unhealthy scenario for many people who have to live with obesity. Here are some of the benefits of undergoing bariatric weight loss surgery. 

Weight Loss 

Apart from the most obvious one – direct weight loss – there are many other positive changes that bariatric surgery facilitates. By reducing the storage capacity of the stomach, it helps those recovering from obesity curb their eating amounts. After bariatric surgery, patients are likely to feel full after eating a smaller portion – compared to pre-surgery levels. This goes a very long way in changing the diet habits and sustaining the reduced weight. 

Reduced Type 2 Diabetic Symptoms 

Bariatric surgery has also been known to cause a reduction in diabetic symptoms. Type 2 diabetes is very difficult to treat and causes many deaths in the United States. According to many studies and observations, the treatment of morbid obesity through methods like surgery has a direct correlation with the remission of diabetes. 

Overall Good Health 

Weight loss surgery also helps people regain a good amount of mobility that allows them to exercise more. The reduced weight also decreases the chances of cardiovascular diseases and conditions like stroke and coronary and peripheral heart diseases. Bariatric weight loss surgery also eliminates or considerably reduces obstructive sleep apnea, a condition caused by obesity. 

Say Goodbye To Joint Pains 

One of the cruelest conditions that obese people have to go through is the pain in their joints, as carrying around the excess weight has a straining effect on the muscles and skeletal system. After bariatric surgery, individuals will experience a significant reduction of chronic pain in the weight-bearing muscles and joints. There is a direct correlation between weight gain and infertility – a weight loss surgery can reverse this effect and help individuals improve their fertility if they are of childbearing age. 

The mental aspect of bariatric surgery is also very important. Obesity can be a confidence-killer and it is associated with depression and related conditions. Significant weight loss can help a person regain his or her confidence and allow people to come out of their shells – reducing the stress and depression that comes with poor body image. 

Finding The Best Surgeons 

When you go to a reputed center, you will have access to the best professionals and techniques and this reduces the risk of any complication. Accredited by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, Bay Bariatrics in Oregon provides a full portfolio of procedures with top surgeons and counselors at the helm. 

Eligibility Checks 

There are certain prerequisites that need to be fulfilled before you can be considered for bariatric weight loss surgery. All you need to do is reach by phone and answer some basic questions before some additional checks are made. 

The BMI or Body Mass Index is an important indicator whether a person can qualify for a bariatric surgical procedure. Usually, patients need to have a minimum BMI of 40 to be eligible for bariatric weight loss surgery. One can also consider other health conditions while checking eligibility. In case a patient is suffering from hypertension, lower back pain, diabetes, and other weight-related issues – bariatric surgery can be considered for a BMI above 35. 

Before going for a bariatric procedure, patients will also need to keep their insurance companies informed. Many insurance providers require certain procedures before the surgery. Patients may be required to undergo a strict diet or exercise plan for a few months before the insurance company acknowledges the procedure as a medical one and not a cosmetic one. 

Preparing For Bariatric Surgery 

The preparation for bariatric surgery is important as it gets you in prime physical and mental shape to undergo the procedure. There are procedures which will be arranged by the surgery provider before you go for the operation. These procedures include a psychological evaluation and a session with a registered dietician. You (or the person who will undergo the surgery) will also meet the surgeon and you can present your questions and clear your doubts. You will also need a medical clearance – a mandatory process before such operations. 

Diet After The Surgery 

Patients who have undergone a bariatric procedure need to keep a few things in mind. A limited diet and only clear liquids are recommended in the first few days after the surgery. The diet gradually allows pureed food to be incorporated. In a few weeks, recovering patients can eat soft foods before moving on to solid food after two months. Nutritional supplements are also added to the diet plan. 

A bariatric surgery can give people a new lease of life, where they can enjoy the confidence and dignity that they deserve. Find the experts to talk to and learn more about this impactful and effective set of procedures.

I hope you enjoyed this article about how bariatric surgery can help to fight obesity and health related issues on a frugal budget.

Here's How To Lose Weight Correctly

It is easy to want to lose weight, and it is relatively easy to get your mission underway. But doing things the correct way? That is a little bit more difficult. There is a lot of information online about the best ways to achieve your fitness goals, and, unfortunately, not all of it is good advice. 

Below, we take a look at a few simple tips that will make sure you are able to lose weight both efficiently and safely. You will be on the right track to reach your fitness goals in no time at all!

Your Motivation 

Everyone wants to lose weight, just as everyone wants to be more intelligent. “Wanting” is not a motivation; it is just a feeling. To stay on course with your fitness goals when the going gets tough, then you need to have real motivation, one that’s strong enough to drag you out into the outdoors even though the weather is freezing. 

What might this motivation be? Well, that is entirely up to you. It might be a desire to get your health in check, or to look spectacular in your wedding dress, or anything else. Only you can discover your motivation! 

Find Your Prime Time 

There’s no such thing as the optimal time to work out. There’s only your optimal time to work out. If you’re planning to work out three times a week after work has finished, only to find your plans regularly altered due to office plans to go for after work drinks, then you haven’t found your optimal time. It might be that you would be best served by learning to become a morning person, and fitting in your exercise regime before anything has the chance to get in the way. If you’re famously grouchy when the alarm clock goes off, learn how to become a morning person. 

Read Up On Best Practices 

As we said above, there is a lot of false information about the best ways to lose weight floating around the internet. And if you read it, believed it, and incorporated it into your own daily routine, then you can’t be blamed: if you haven’t conducted the research yourself, you’d have no reason not to believe it! If you are trying to lose weight, then make sure you’re reading reputable websites. It’s much easier to reach your fitness goals if you understand exactly how weight loss works. And this doesn’t just apply to weight loss, either: it also applies about the best ways to gain muscle, and other body improvement factors. Knowledge is power! 

Getting Rid Of Vices 

Nobody is perfect, but some of us are further away from perfection from others. While we might be doing excellent in our workout goals, if we are continually undermining that work by drinking too much alcohol, smoking cigarettes, eating poor food, and not getting enough sleep, then it’s questionable how effective our weight loss techniques are going to be. If you decide to get serious about your body shape, then before you dedicate too much time and money to your goals, make sure you are cutting out the bad things in your life first. For one thing, you will be healthier, and for two, you will have more energy, and for three, you will find that the weight falls off more easily - and stays off, too.

Find What You Love 

Here’s the thing about staying fit and healthy: it’s not so important which activity you do (though of course, some are more effective than others): the important thing is that you do it often. While going to the gym might be the best overall thing for your body, if you hate going to the gym, then it won’t be too long before you give up. And that stage, how good is it for your body? It’s not! Instead, do something that you love to do, something that you’ll gladly jump out of bed to do, not only because you want to get fit, but because you love spending time doing it. Take squash: it’s far removed from the repetitiveness of the gym but is extremely effective at getting you fit to reach your goal.

It Takes Time To Reach Your Fitness goals

Finally, remember this golden rule: it is an investment in time so be patient. Everything from learning to drive to preparing a meal takes time, why should weight loss be any different? One of the best qualities you can acquire before you begin your weight loss mission is patience. Looking for small leaps of progress, not giant strides, and you’ll be more likely to succeed in your fitness goals.

The Secret Of Healthy Weight Loss

Losing your body weight is an effective way of fighting your health complications, and it is not easy to accomplish it. However, several practices can help you lose weight in different ways, like changing your lifestyle, which requires commitment. However, weight loss centers offer plans to help you manage your weight for long-lasting results. 

Have a look at the following strategies that you need to do to get your weight off gradually. 

Keep Food Journals 

This will help you know what to eat each day to reduce snack consumption and fewer empty calories. You can maintain your food journal by scribbling down what you should eat by using a piece of paper. You may also try to find a smartphone application that will keep you on track and accountable for your weight loss. 

Get Enough Sleep 

If your target is losing weight or fat burning, you should ensure that you get more sleep since less sleep will lead you to gain weight due to hormonal imbalances. Sleep deprivation increases your appetite causing you to eat more than your body requires. This changes glucose metabolism causing your body to hoard calories that are stored as fats. Thus it would be best if you slept at least eight hours to have healthy weight loss. 

Exercise 

A great way of losing weight is when you combine physical activity with having a healthy diet. The most popular exercise you can do is walk at least for an hour per day, ride a bike, train on aerobics, and lift weights. When you exercise each day, it will be possible for you to achieve your goal. Please do not overdo it, enjoy what you do to elevate your body's metabolism. 

Eat Breakfast Daily 

Skipping breakfast is not a strategy for weight loss, and instead, you are more likely to gain more weight. This is because you will end up overeating during the day. Make breakfast a habit to prevent cravings and random eating throughout the day. It's an important meal to start your day and a strategy for losing weight. 

Practice Mindful Eating 

It is important to sit comfortably and enjoy your meal. It would help if you did not eat around distractions such as watching TV or operating your phone. This contributes to consuming more calories because you are doing it for fun, not out of being hungry. For effective weight loss, you should plate your meal, even if it's a snack or a glass of water, and consume it slowly. 

Drink Fluids 

Drinking water before and during mealtime will help you in reducing weight. If you do not drink enough water, you may confuse feeling hungry for being thirsty. If you feel unsatisfied after eating you should drink a lot of water. Water consumption influences weight by decreasing the amount of food you eat, reducing your calorie intake. It is possible to lose weight when you drink about eight glasses of water per day and take fewer calories through foods like sodium-rich soup and salads with a lot of dressing. And drink extra water if you consume caffeine during the day. 

Lose The Weight For Good

With these strategies, it's possible to lose weight long term. Besides, Dr. Gregg can also help you to develop a weight loss plan to achieve your goals. Therefore, reach out to Florida Lakes Surgical to book your appointment today.

7 Health Benefits of Going on the Keto Diet

Have you heard of Keto for weight loss? Eliciting a state of ketosis has been a popular way for people to burn fat these days. 

A ketogenic diet is a new way of life that brings some serious benefits. By cutting carbs out of your diet completely you can improve your energy levels, health, and general wellbeing.

But you don't need to just take our word for it on the benefits of ketosis. Keep reading for 7 health benefits of going on the keto diet.


1. Suppress Appetite

Most people will say that the worst side effect of dieting is feeling hungry and missing their favorite foods.

But with a Keto diet, you will actually see a reduction in your appetite. By cutting carbs and eating more proteins and fats, you will get more energy and nutrition from fewer calories. You can even get keto versions of foods you wouldn't expect, like Keto coffee.


2. Faster Weight Loss

Cutting carbs can be one of the easiest and most effective ways to achieve weight loss. For weight loss, Keto can be more effective than low-fat diets. 

This is because zero-carb diets get rid of excess water weight with ketogenesis. They lower insulin levels too, which leads to rapid weight loss in the first couple of weeks.


3. Lose Tummy Weight

The two main types of fat your body stores are subcutaneous and visceral fat. Subcutaneous is fat stored under the skin. Visceral is fat that builds in the abdominal cavity around your organs.

Keto is great at reducing this visceral fat. It is actually the type of fat people on zero-carb diets lose the most. In the long run, you should see a huge reduction in the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.


4. Lower Cholesterol

The higher your "bad" LDL, the more likely you are to have a heart attack. The size of particles is important too. The smaller the particles are, the higher the risk of heart disease. Having larger ones seems to reduce that risk.

Keto increases the size of "bad" LDL particles. They also reduce the number of them in your bloodstream. Over time, ketogenesis will increase your heart health.


5. Normalize Blood Sugar

Keto can be very helpful for people with diabetes and insulin resistance. Cutting carbs leads to huge reductions in insulin levels and blood sugar. This can mean almost immediate reductions in your insulin dosage.

If you are on blood sugar medication, see your doctor before making any dietary changes. They will be able to make sure you get the right medication dosage at all stages. 


6. Lower Blood Pressure

Hypertension or raised blood pressure is a big risk factor for many diseases. These include strokes, kidney failure, and heart disease.

Keto is effective in lowering blood pressure. Ketosis will help reduce the risk of getting these disease and help you to live a healthier, longer life.


7. Decrease in Triglycerides

There are fat molecules that run in your bloodstream called triglycerides. High levels of triglycerides increase the risk of heart disease.

A large reason behind high triglycerides in inactive people is carb intake. Especially in the form of the sugar fructose. When switching to Keto, people often see a huge reduction in triglyceride levels.


The Benefits of a Keto Diet

As you can see, a Keto diet really can help improve your health. Weight loss is faster and easier on Keto, and it won't even feel like you are missing out. But the benefits of ketosis aren't just visible. You will be generally healthier with lower blood pressure and reduced chance of heart failure.

Benefits Of Using CBD Oil To Lose Weight

Is there anything that cannabidiol oil cannot help with? Anxiety, depression, acne, pain, inflammation, arthritis, cancer, seizures and various neurological disorders can all be treated with CBD. This natural product is quickly numerous traditional prescriptions and over the counter drugs as the preferred treatment for all these medical conditions. 

What has even spurred more popularity of the product, after it's legalization in almost all states is recent studies that show you can use CBD oil to lose weight. Given the fact that the weight loss industry is worth over $60 billion in the united states alone, it is pretty obvious that people are willing to spend money on any product that helps them shed weight, without any severe side effects. 

CBD oil has been attributed with numerous benefits and it is one promising solution for losing weight. In this reading, we are going to discuss more about using CBD oil to lose weight and whether or not it can work for you. 

First And Foremost, What Is CBD? 

Scientifically referred to as cannabidiol, CBD is one of the many compounds found in cannabis. However, most people tend to think that it has the same effect as consuming marijuana, which is far from the truth. CBD, unlike THC (the compound found in weed that makes you high), is not psychoactive. In fact, it helps suppress appetite and food cravings, which seems counterintuitive, given the fact that cannabis has a reputation for giving the users uncontrollable munchies. 

CBD works with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is a psychological system that controls most of the bodily functions like mood, pain, sleep, temperature, appetite, etc. Cannabidiol affects the ECS system receptors to improve homeostasis which translates to wellness. 

Can You Use CBD Oil To Lose Weight? 

So, does cannabidiol help with weight loss or is this just a huge scam? Well, unlike THC, cannabidiol does not stimulate your appetite. It works to relax the region in your brain responsible for hunger and eating. This results in a reduction in the desire to overeat when feeling stressed or when craving those tasty snacks or burgers. 

CBD is also known to help stimulate metabolism via fat browning. This might be a relatively new term for most people. The body has different types and colors of fat, which are white and brown fat. The former is what is visible and what you attempt to shed when you get into a diet and exercise regime. However, it is hard to lose and accumulates pretty quickly, thus making your overweight and obese, which results in a wide array of health problems. 

Brown fat, on the contrary, is rich in mitochondria that are full of iron. When brown fat burns, via a process referred to as thermogenesis, it burns calories. CBD helps to lose weight by transforming white fat into brown fat, which burns calories. It also stimulates genes and proteins that force oxidation and ideally minimizes the production of white fat cells. 

People who have taken CBD oil on a regular basis have reported a reduction in waist circumference and an overall loss of weight which minimizes the risk of cardiovascular conditions. Not only that, but CBD also helps alleviate chronic pain and inflammation, thus allowing you to be more active and engage in workouts, which again ultimately results in shedding weight. 

How To Use CBD To Lose Weight 

There are a wide array of CBD supplements that can be included in your weight loss regime. CBD oil is placed under the tongue while the capsules are often consumed together with food. Another popular method of administering CBD is through vaping. If you don't like the idea of smoking, you can also choose CBD edibles such as chewing gums, which are especially useful for suppressing the urge to eat on a constant basis. 

It is ideally advisable to start slow as there is no official dosage from the FDA and so, the right dosage varies from individual to individual. Take the product gradually and assess how your body reacts in order to find the ideal CBD dosage.

5 Weight Loss Shortcuts That Really Work

Losing weight and getting in shape is a long process that takes a lot of hard work and motivation. There is no easy way of doing it and it’s always going to take a lot of dedication. However, there is still ways that you can speed the process along. It is worth remembering that, while you can speed up the process of losing weight, the key is keeping it off and, unfortunately, there is no easy way to do that. Still, you can use these great shortcuts to get the weight off in the first place and focus on maintaining your new, healthier weight.

HCG Injections 

There are a lot of weight loss techniques out there that claim they are medically safe and effective. A lot of them aren’t and they won’t do anything for you but one that actually works is HCG injections. HCG is a hormone often found in pregnant women but it has some great weight loss properties as well. You can purchase HCG for weight loss online and administer the injections yourself. In order for it to work properly, you have to combine it with a strict diet that limits you to no more than 500 calories a day. You follow this program for around 8 weeks and you should see some significant weight loss. However, it is not a long-term solution so you should use it to drop the weight and then monitor your diet and get plenty of exercise to maintain your new weight. 

Cut Out Alcohol 

You might not like the idea but it is one of the easiest ways to drop a lot of weight in a short period of time. So many people adopt a great, healthy diet and exercise regime but still struggle to lose weight because they are still drinking alcohol. It has such a high amount of calories that cutting it out is often enough to lose weight on its own without changing the rest of your diet or exercise levels. If you are really serious about losing a lot of weight quickly, this is one of the best ways to do it. Once you have dropped that weight, change your diet and start exercising regularly and, most importantly, cut down the amount that you’re drinking. 

Stop Eating Late 

The time of day has a big effect on how many calories your body absorbs when you eat food. If you are eating late at night, you will put on a lot more weight than you would if you were just eating earlier. If you tend to eat dinner later on, try having it earlier and cut out all those late night snacks. As a general rule, 9 o’clock should be the cut off and you shouldn’t be eating anything after that. If you can, try to cut yourself a bit earlier than that and you should start to see a difference. 

Drink More Water 

You are probably fed up of people going on about how important it is to drink enough water. It has got so many health benefits but people often don’t realize that it can help you to lose weight as well. Our bodies are not very good at differentiating between hunger and thirst so when you feel hungry, you might just need to drink a glass of water. The problem is, most of us don’t realize this so we feel hungry and we grab a snack that we don’t really need and end up putting on weight. The easiest way around this is to have a glass of water when you get hungry between mealtimes. Most of the time, you will find that the hunger goes away and you won’t end up eating excess food. 

Sleep Properly 

Getting enough sleep is another one of those pieces of advice that you’re fed up of hearing but, again, it can help you to lose weight. Sleep has a big effect on the hormones that affect hunger. If you aren’t getting enough sleep, you are way more likely to feel hungry all the time and end up overeating. Getting your 8 hours of sleep (roughly) will make you far less likely to overeat and it will bring you a whole load of other benefits as well. 

These are all good shortcuts that will help you shed excess weight a lot faster than just dieting and exercise alone. However, it is important to remember that you need a good diet alongside these things and they won’t help you to keep that weight off so you are still going to have to work hard at it.
