DEHYDRATION 70% of the body is made up of water. which if followed can produce rapid weight loss. of water within several days. However. yet the slimming industry continues to misguide people into believing that fast weight loss can be achieved with minimum effort. The exercise needs to be customized to fitness level and to specific goal of fat loss. Simply dehydration by 2-3 % of body weight can result in a 7% drop in physical performance. when doing simple exercise tasks. The muscles and the liver both store energy supplies. Exercise and Healthy Eating the First Priority The aim of an exercise program is to lose fat without losing muscle and without reducing metabolic rate. When you are ill and bed bound similar results are produced in only 48 hours.The other problem with having a low level of lean muscle tissue is the feeling of fatigue. This is a disaster for keeping the weight off in the long term because muscle is five times more active metabolically than fat tissue. Achieving target weight requires lifestyle changes. The first mistake is to call a program a "weight loss program". There are many weight reduction programs. Why Dieting can make you FATTER The conventional approach to dieting is a disaster. Many naive people are encouraged by these rapid results. especially if you have a complaint like food poisoning. much of the weight loss will be muscle tissue. then once you increase water intake you will lose the water being retained. Together aerobic exercise and resistance training are the ideal combination of exercise to achieve fat loss and it should be part of your lifestyle. This situation has developed simply because many people are looking for an easy way to lose weight that delivers quick results. It is estimated that when people lose over 2lbs of weight a week. UNLESS – you are several retaining water. LOSS OF MUSCLE TISSUE If you lose weight too quickly. It is easy to design a dehydration diet that results in losing 10 lb. . No such approach exists. this weight loss is neither sustainable nor healthy as it involves dehydration and loss of muscle tissue. These changes include regular exercise. in the form of glycogen. This can be as much as 10 -20 pounds.

Resistance training should be carried out 2-3 times per week for approx. or speak to a qualified trainer to aid you in both the correct exercises and techniques for yourself. as these men and women spend a great deal of their . 4.30 minutes at least 3 times per week. In short try both methods. I'm no scientist. The debate comes in. Inactive people lose about 10 % of their muscle mass every 10 years after the age of 25. If you consider that just 1 pound of body fat has approx. 24 hours after you have finished training. Aerobic exercise will also raise the metabolic rate for approx. However with regular resistance training it is possible to regain this muscle mass.Aerobic Exercise Aerobic exercise metabolizes calories and raises the metabolic rate. The heart rate needs to be raised to a comfortable level for 20 . for short periods or 55/80 % of maximum heart rate for easier longer periods. Don't feel that by doing weight training that you will develop a body that resembles a body builders. unless you are a complete beginner to fitness. 30 minutes. then you can get a rough idea. Resistance (or weight) Training Look in the section on this web site dealing with weight training for guidelines. in which case I would recommend training at a steady pace for as long as comfortably possible. The debate of how hard to work: Personally I recommend that you work at a level that you know that you can maintain for a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes. normally years or a complete lifetime of your own bodily abuse. Although not generally effective as aerobic training for burning calories. By exercising aerobically. and have found like most things in life. Look again at how long it took to put them on. This helps to burn up extra calories and prevents the metabolic rate declining. when various fitness bodies suggest training at a high heart rate 75/90 % of max.100 calories. calories will be burnt at a rate of 300 + per hour depending on your weight and fitness level. of just how long it will take to shed those extra pounds permanently. it may work for one person but not necessary for another. resistance training will still burn about 250-500 calories per hour and will raise metabolic rate.

The true way to burn fat and lose weight for the long term is to actually drink water plus exercise. Here is what happens when you start sweating out all the water in your body. excessive excretion from diuretics and laxatives are the few you named.

Sorry this is so late...I always forget!
We stayed here in Sept 2016 to see how we liked the place and location to have our wedding. We really enjoyed our time there and enjoyed the unit we were given. So we decided to have our wedding at Ft Myers Beach and have our guests stay in the two buildings they have. I have seen all of the units and am excited to have them for our guests.
Thank you Rhonda for always being accessible and answering my questions no matter how many times you had already told me...
This property is great for any stay. The beach a short walk away.(2 min)
Looking forward to this Spring!
My wife and I had booked the hide away a year before we arrived... we did read reviews over that year and were a little scared.... but when we arrived we were blown away by how amazingly beautiful all 7 properties were cleaned and decorated. We held our wedding reception at the house which was PERFECT..... I hope we make the hide away web page with the pics. The pool area was exactly what you want on vacation, just a place to relax and great conversations with friends and family... in all my wife and I and our 45 guest we very happy with the out come of the hide away.... its a very beautiful place, I recommend to all.....

What e beautiful and secluded private get away! We had friends vacationing in Ft. Myers, and decided to join them. What an amazingly beautiful spot we were so lucky to stumble across! Not only was our unit above and beyond what we expected, the owner, Rhonda, was so incredibly kind also. If you've never been, you must!! We loved every minute of our trip. Thank you, Rhonda, for sharing this gorgeous escape for us. It was fantastic!
This was my 3rd year to vacation here. I enjoy the freedom of coming and going when and how I please. Needed stores are close and reasonable plus there is plenty of shopping and eating places to visit. I plan on visiting year after year. Great place.
Just a great place to stay, close to the beach, the rental home is beautiful and with anything you could want is there. We love going and just relaxing. Beautiful plants and flowers, great pool in the back yard. We love it soo much we keep going back. The owners are wonderful people and will help with anyting you might need to know about the rental and the island. Fantastic beaches very soft pretty sand. You will not regret staying here, you will be like me and go back year after year.
We were told we were booked in the Sunset unit but after looking at the photos we find we were actually in the Starfish? We really wanted to like this property and wanted to give the owner the benefit of the doubt, but there were so many things wrong with it - things we also feel were misrepresented in the photos and description. While we notified the owner immediately of tv in bedroom not working and no kitchen linens/towels at all (which I think was on purpose) - the owner responded and corrected about 4 hours later - there was no sense in asking for things to be fixed that were not immediately fixable. The "soap dish" in the shower was 2 pieces of rough-cut slate ducktaped to the wall! Ceiling tiles throughout the unit were cracked, ceiling fan in the bedroom looked and sounded like it would fall off the ceiling if turned on, holes in the wall where a tv was replaced. "Recently remodeled and professionally decorated?" The curtains in the bedroom were actually bedsheets... Couch and loveseat with springs/cushions that sunk almost to the floor when you sat on them (and the living room furniture isnt even the stuff shown in the photos). "8 foot sliding doors" -- they were so heavy and did not slide properly, we had a hard time pushing them open. Future renters should also be aware ... upon booking and paying, we received an email from the owner stating "We are a vacation rental not a hotel so we supply enough consumables for the first night (toilet paper, dish soap)". And they meant it ... one roll of flimsyTP, one teeny bar of soap, two beach towels with holes in them, a kitchen with bare essentials including a coffeepot that was so old it took 20 minutes to brew, a 2" showerhead stuck to the ceiling posing as a rainshower... we could go on. Only thing listed accurately was the nice bedsheets.
We understand this is a business for the owner, but really? This property needs some fixing, and your Welcome email made us feel anything but. Photos and description should reflect what someone actually gets when they rent. We've been renting properties from HomeAway and VBRO for years now, and this was a new experience for us (a property that just wasnt what it was described as).

Pet will be considered based on breed, weight, age, kennel with additional rent and deposit. If and only if you really really promise, NOT maybe, but promise to pick up all of your pets poop. Not just some of it but all of it. Have you ever stepped out of your car only to land in a fresh smelly wet ....from a very large dog?
* Tarifa mensal aproximada. O valor real dependerá dos dias em que você de fato se hospedar no imóvel.
