A very comprehensive set of hypothyroid symptoms

Hypothyroidism SymptomsHypothyroidism is most well known for its relationship to your metabolism and oftentimes weight gain or the inability to lose weight. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when you begin to look at the multitude of various hypothyroidism symptoms ranging from digestive to sensory symptoms.


But also keep in mind that different people develop different symptoms. There is no one set pattern of symptoms that all hypothyroid people progress through. It all has to do with how your body responds and compensates.


One person might gain 30 lbs. and be unable to lose it no matter what. And the next person may develop heart palpitations or chronic depression.


If you find yourself suffering from any of these symptoms then you have to strongly consider that you very well might be hypothyroid. And I encourage you to take an active role in your health because all too often we place our health in the hands of others who don’t have our best interests in mind.


So, do yourself a favor and educate yourself, or find someone who is willing to educate you on what is really happening with your body and what the underlying cause of your health problems really is. Only then can you make an educated decision as to what is best for your health.


A Quick Note on Hypothyroidism Testing Flaws


And keep in mind that most thyroid test options are flawed and oftentimes lead to a false negative hypothyroidism diagnosis. And so millions of people go untreated or are improperly treated for various other related symptoms that stem from underlying hypothyroidism.


Because of this, I often recommend what is called a therapeutic trial to confirm your own diagnosis. This is where you follow a proper hypothyroidism treatment protocol including the right hypothyroidism diet and monitor your symptoms.


If your hypothyroidism symptoms improve then you can confirm that your speculation was correct.

The Wrong Kind of Hypothyroidism Exercise

hypothyroidism exerciceExercising with hypothyroidism has been quite a misunderstood topic. Many people claim that exercise has huge benefits for people suffering from hypothyroidism. And some others tend to disagree. The truth is that exercise CAN have some amazing benefits BUT not all exercise is created equal. In fact, most forms of exercise will further damage your thyroid. But there are some very beneficial forms of hypothyroid exercise that have proven that they can be a very effective component of your hypothyroidism treatment plan.


And don’t forget to make your exercise even more effective by following the right hypothyroidism diet for even better and faster results.


The Wrong Kind of Hypothyroidism Exercise


I want to make sure that I make myself clear… Most forms of exercise are not beneficial and will only make you more hypothyroid.


This is because most forms of exercise cause excessive stress to your body.


Think about how exercise is supposed to work for a minute…


Almost all exercise is catabolic by nature, meaning that the stress of it causes your body to break down its own tissue. And it’s not until after this exercise that your body’s natural repair processes start up and your body recovers from the stress with the goal of rebuilding itself stronger than before.


But you have to realize that when you are hypothyroid, your body cannot properly recover from stressful exercise. So while you are hitting the gym thinking that you’re doing some great hypothyroidism exercise, you are continuously breaking down your body even more while your body fails to rebuild itself.


Eventually, your body breaks down to the point that if you’re lucky, you just run out of gas and you just can’t muster enough energy to make it to the gym. But more often than not, you end up with some sort of injury that sidelines your gym efforts.


And this is actually quite common due to the calcification of soft tissues that is one of the common hypothyroidism symptoms. But that’s a topic of another article.


Studies have also shown that these poor choices of hypothyroidism exercise cause your body to stop producing T3 almost immediately. And if that’s not an indication of a problem, then I don’t know what is.


I think that most people fail to realize that hypothyroidism is a respiratory problem. And without going into detail here, when you perform these types of poor hypothyroidism exercise, it forces your body to shift even further away from your healthy and thyroid supportive, oxidative energy system. And this makes you even more hypothyroid, which continues to carry over even after your workout.


So here I’ve listed some of the worse kinds of hypothyroidism exercise that you should be avoiding at all costs.


Cardiovascular Exercise


Personally, I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that so many people recommend cardio as a good form of hypothyroid exercise. And because people tend to push themselves to their limit when it comes to doing cardio, it makes it even worse.


Cardio exercise causes a chronic stress response from your body which is extremely catabolic. You might lose some weight but it’s most likely going to be from the breakdown of muscle tissue. And this process is not only stressful and inflammatory to your body, but it also contributes to hypothyroidism.


Any Form of Intense Exercise


I’ve seen a major shift in the exercise world which has been brought around mostly because cardio exercise doesn’t get results. And I think a large part of the problem really stems from the fact that most people are hypothyroid to begin with.


So, there’s been a major shift away from traditional cardio and to shorter and much more intense workouts. But this also has some major pitfalls, making it another poor hypothyroidism exercise choice.


When you’re hypothyroid, you already have a problem storing sugar in your liver. And these intense workouts require your body to use large amounts of sugar very quickly. And when this sugar isn’t available, then your body takes a beating. And again, this causes significant amounts of stress that leave you unable to recover and even more hypothyroid in the end.

5 Essential Steps for Hypothyroidism Treatment Success

thyroidThere’s a big problem within the medical community today with their approach to treating a number of health problems and diseases. And 9 out of 10 times, this problem exists because their treatments are driven entirely by financial interests and NOT the best interests of the patients who are suffering. And their current sub par approach to hypothyroidism treatment is one that understandably fits the bill.


In just a minute, I’m going to give you some important tips that your doctor isn’t telling you about, which are necessary for any successful hypothyroidism treatment. But before I do, I want to talk a little bit about why none of this is even discussed within the medical community.


Hypothyroidism Treatment – Then and Now


Here’s something that most people don’t realize.


Long ago, before the pharmaceutical industry was pulling in over $500 billion dollars (yes, I said billion) each year from drug sales, the doctors at the time were far more successful at treating hypothyroidism than they are today.


Long ago, doctors clearly understood the far reaching effects of hypothyroidism. It was extremely common for doctors to find that hypothyroidism was involved in the majority of their patients’ health problems. And oftentimes, the right hypothyroidism treatment would not only eliminate all of their symptoms, but also leave them with a clean bill of health.


Today, doctors have become far less accustomed to determining the underlying cause of disease. And instead, they have become far too accustomed to treating only their patients’ symptoms. And by using drugs to merely cover up your hypothyroidism symptoms, you do absolutely nothing to improve your state of health. And so it’s very common that you develop newer and more severe symptoms in the process.


Unfortunately, when there’s more than $500 billion dollars at stake each year, there’s no real incentive to heal people. There’s far too much money to be made if people continue to stay sick and develop new and more serious health problems that require the use of even more drugs.


But if we went back to our old ways of using far more effective hypothyroid treatment options, then there would be too few people left to spend all of their hard earned money on a lifetime of prescription drugs.


The Truth About Hypothyroidism Treatment


The truth is that there is so much more that you can do to treat hypothyroidism than what your doctor may or may not recommend.


But as I mentioned above, because the medical community is largely driven by the financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry, most patients are sent home with the wrong medication that oftentimes only makes their hypothyroidism worse in the end (more about that below).


A quick search on just about any online medical reference will quickly tell you that there are certain foods and supplements that may affect your ability to absorb many of the thyroid medications that are readily prescribed.


But not a single one mentions any foods or supplements that can directly affect your ability to produce or utilize the thyroid hormone that your body natural makes. In fact, most medical professionals will tell you that your diet has little to no impact whatsoever on the health of your thyroid.


But when start to look at the research, it tells a very different story.


5 Essential Steps for Hypothyroidism Treatment Success


You can throw all of the supplements, medication, etc at your thyroid that you want. But if you don’t get the basics right, then you’re essentially wasting your time. And this is because you are missing the bigger picture.


Below I’m going to cover 5 essential steps that are an integral part of any hypothyroidism treatment if you want to truly restore your life, health, and energy.


1. Start a Hypothyroidism Treatment Diet


There has been a lot of research that demonstrates the important connection between your diet and hypothyroidism. There are certain foods that directly contribute to hypothyroidism and should be avoided as part of your treatment for hypothyroidism. And there are certain nutrients that are necessary for your thyroid to function properly.


Thyroid

10 Hypothyroidism Diet Tips to Help Heal Your Thyroid

hypothyroidism dietDon’t expect to hear this from your doctor, but following the right hypothyroidism diet plan is by far the biggest factor in overcoming hypothyroidism. You can do everything else right and be using the best available supplements or medication, but if your diet isn’t right, then you will be forever fighting a battle that you just can’t win.


Then there’s the problem of actually finding the “right” hypothyroidism diet to follow. Most diets for hypothyroidism are completely outdated and based on poor research, if any research at all. But there’s also a lot of great research out there that is just now starting to connect a lot of the dots with hypothyroidism.


But unfortunately, it will take years or even decades for the general public, or even the medical community, to accept the fact that many of the dietary beliefs that exist today are completely false. And there’s a good chance that they never will.


Until that time comes, I plan to share all kinds of hypothyroidism diet tips with you, starting with these 10 below.


10 Hypothyroidism Diet Tips to Help Heal Your Thyroid


Below I’ve broken down 10 important tips that are a necessity for any successful hypothyroidism diet. But more importantly, I’ve broken them down so that you also understand why they are so important.


All too often, we accept many things that we read as the truth without questioning or verifying the facts with the proper research.


1. Avoid Anti-Thyroid Foods


The first hypothyroidism diet tip that I want to share with you is one that is very important. And this is because it’s a controversial topic because there are some highly touted “health foods” that you are eating which are actually contributing to your hypothyroidism.


Some of the first foods that come to mind are any food that contains soy. This includes soybeans, edamame, soy milk, tofu, etc. Soy is very estrogenic and estrogens have been shown to inhibit the thyroid gland from secreting its thyroid hormones.


And this is disturbing because I have seen more than one, very well respected hypothyroidism diet and hypothyroidism treatment program that actually recommend soy without ever discussing this very important link.


Another very controversial food that directly contributes to hypothyroidism is the polyunsaturated fats in your diet. And one reason this is such a big problem is that these fats have been touted for years for their beneficial properties while ignoring the research that clearly show the dangers.


But when it comes to your thyroid, these fats suppress its function on just about every level. First of all, they block the secretion of your thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland itself. Then they also block the transportation of the thyroid hormone within your bloodstream. And lastly, they block your cells from properly utilizing the hormone once they get it.


The research against these fats simply can’t be ignored. And the best hypothyroidism diet should exclude these fats at all costs. Or else you’re only setting yourself up for failure.


2. Increase Your Saturated Fats


Saturated fats on the other hand carry a lot of unfounded negative criticism. Criticizers of saturated fats still continue to cite outdated and poorly executed research studies from more than 50 years ago while ignoring the enormous amount of research showing their benefits.


One of the major benefits of the saturated fats being part of your hypothyroidism diet is that they help to cancel out the negative effects of the toxic polyunsaturated fats.


They also help by improving your body’s insulin response which helps you to maintain balanced blood sugar levels and reduce stress hormones. Elevated stress hormones are also one of the many hypothyroidism causes.


But you do have to be careful with many animal fats because they might not be quite what they seem on the outside. For example, all conventionally raised cattle are fattened with corn, soy, and other foods that are high in polyunsaturated fats. And because of this, their body fat becomes very unsaturated in the process.


So it’s important to include only high quality saturated fats

How to Treat Premature Ejaculation Naturally

How to Treat Premature Ejaculation Naturally - A Simple 4-Step Strategy to Boost Your Sexual Stamina




By Lloyd Lester, Creator, EjaculationByCommand.com


ejaculationAchieving a permanent fix to your premature ejaculation problem (PE) is the most important thing that any guy can do. Although there are plenty of products on the market that claim to treat PE and help you last longer in bed - such as desensitizing sprays, creams, pills and "climax control" condoms - these really are short-term fixes. To permanently cure your rapid ejaculation woes, addressing the underlying causes of PE is key. So how do you permanently prevent yourself from ejaculating too early during sex? The answer lies in a natural, time-tested 4-step strategy. Let's find out below!


Step #1 - Determine the underlying factors of YOUR premature ejaculation


There are several causes for PE, and these affect every guy differently. Among these are stress and anxiety (including 'performance anxiety'), as well as bad masturbation habits that were picked up from teenage years. Some guys are also unable to control their ejaculation due to problems relating to erectile dysfunction - they rush through sex due to fear of being unable to maintain their erections.


Step #2 - Determine how long you want to last


This is key. Without setting a target of how long you want to last, it is difficult, almost impossible, to eradicate your premature ejaculation because you have no specific end goal in sight. Incrementally increase your target once you reach each milestone. But be realistic. If you are unable to last more than 30 seconds now (seriously, some guys have it this bad!), setting a target of reaching 20 minutes of 'staying power' within a week is a surefire way to set yourself up for failure and disappointment.


Step #3 - Maintain a positive attitude and outlook


Like all things that are worth doing, you have to be upbeat about what you are going to achieve. You have to believe you CAN totally and permanently cure your premature ejaculation problem, just like many guys before you who believe they can. Maintain a positive image of what you can do with that extra sexual endurance, and how much more enjoyment you can give to your female partner (and yourself too!).


Step #4 - Stay the course until you achieve your desired outcome!


Learn the proper techniques to improve your time to ejaculation. There are many natural conditioning and training methods, such as arousal control, breathing control, pelvic floor exercises and the correct masturbation techniques that will help increase your sexual stamina. The key is to take consistent action. Your body needs time to adjust to the training and conditioning. By focusing on what you need to do and staying the course, you will dramatically improve how long you will last in bed. Remember, practice makes perfect. Every single time.

Reprogram Your Mind To Remedy Constipation

constipation remedyThis may be the most important article you'll ever read on how to remedy constipation.

It's even more important than making sure you drink enough water every day. It's more important than fiber, fruit and vegetables. (Of course, you need all of these, too).


It's about RE-PROGRAMMING your mind so that you can see yourself living a life free from constipation, stomach bloating and gas.


Some patients come to me after two or three decades of suffering from bowel problems. They are so used to these conditions it's almost impossible to think of their lives without them.


Now, some of you might not be willing to believe that what your mind thinks can directly affect your body's ability to remain healthy. I'll argue that in another article. But, for now, would you deny that it can INDIRECTLY affect your ability to heal?


Let me explain...


Your mind can easily — consciously and unconsciously — perform ACTIONS that would better or worsen your constipation.


For example, you may find yourself "forgetting" to buy the specific type of water I recommend in Constipation Relief Strategy #9, at the grocery stores. Or you might not bother doing this easy thing to cheese next time you make a sandwich (Constipation Relief Strategy #26).


Or, where you mind comes along and overtly says, "Don't bother buying any of those anti-constipating fruits (Constipation Relief Strategy #32), it's not going to work!"


"It's not going to work… you're not going to change… this is how you're built... you'll never have regular bowel movements, etc."


Sadly, some people will fall prey to this type of mental counsel. They won't even try and find out for themselves, whether the strategies work or not in bringing constipation relief.


Unless you're VERY strong willed it's hard to overcome this type of mental programming. The brain is very much like a computer. If it's been exposed to constipation, stomach bloating and gas for years... it will have rewired itself to expect those sorts of conditions.


Next article I'll show you a specific technique you can use to transform this type of negative programming.


In the meantime, I'll assume you have gotten down to business and are starting to apply some of the information in the free email series and the strategies from Constipation Relief for Women.


As you apply these methods, over the next few days, keep a good eye on your mind. Don't try to control its thought patterns. Just be aware of what it's chattering about.


Is it saying, "Well, these are great ideas! I wish I'd known about them years ago. I'm going to be going like an elephant before I know it..."


Or is your mind complaining, doubting and questioning whether these natural remedies for constipation are going to work before they're even given a fair try. Is it dwelling on how your life has been? Is it suggesting that nothing's going to change?


Just keep an eye on it for now.


Don't let it know what we're up to.


You need to know who your opponent is. Any negative patterns of thinking need to be slain. If you want your body to be filled with health, then we must remove disease from its roots.

Daily Exercise Can Cure Constipation

constipation 3I wish I could "sell" you what I'm going to tell you about today in a bottle. It could cure 80% of your health problems, including constipation and keep you active well into your senior years.

Unfortunately, there is no way to package it up.

Sadly, there's no way to really sell it.

Regrettably, I can't "give" it to you...

It's already at your beckon call.

This miracle treatment is called exercise and most people aren't getting enough.

Which is shocking, because you don't really need all that much to make a big difference.

I was listening to the radio a while back, a dietitian was advising athletic types on how to eat. People, mostly women, were calling in and describing their DAILY routine. One lady proudly stated she swam for an hour in the morning, followed by an hour of weight lifting. Then in the evening she'd play tennis and go for a walk after dinner.

That's great if that's what she wants to do with her time. If she competes then that's the only way to get ahead.

But for most women, this isn't necessary. You don't want to become the next Wimbledon star. You just want to stay healthy, slim and regular

Yes, Having Regular Bowel Movements Comes From Exercise


The colon is a muscle, and it gets a good workout along with the rest of your body during cardiovascular and weight training exercises.

As well, its health is linked to the health of your heart and lungs. Your heart and lungs supply "food" in the form of oxygen and blood to keep your colon strong, pumping stool through. If you're not getting at least 20 minutes of exercise a day, you are definitely contributing to your constipation.

And unless you're 80 years old or extremely ill, I wouldn't count walking as exercise.

You need something more intense than just walking. You still need to walk and I'd encourage you to do 10 minutes of walking after each meal. Not only will this help with your bowels, but research shows this will help you control your sugar and insulin levels – keeping the belly fat off.

But you also need some more challenging exercise that makes you SWEAT. Depending on your age and health, this will mean something different.

Actually, it has more to do with your level of health than your age. There are plenty of 60, 70 and 80 year-olds who are stronger and capable of more vigorous exercise than some 20, 30 and 40 year olds. Just like my 65 year-old patient who rides his bike to my office... 148km (93 miles) one way trip!! He stays overnight at his daughter's place and rides back the next day. It's nothing for him since he's used to 1200km (750 miles) bike races.

So your CURRENT level of health should be the benchmark for how intense your exercise routine can be. Your own body will tell you. If walking at high-speed is all you can handle, then that's fine. Eventually you'll be doing some of the more intense workouts I outline in the FREE bonus report that you'll receive when you order 37 Constipation Relief Strategies for Women.

Also, the free bonus volume, "13 Ways To Simplify Your Life So You Are Not Always Backed Up," shows how to get the benefits of a 60 minute workout in 20 minutes.

That's what most women need. It's easy to put aside 20 minutes each day. In fact, you'll probably find you'll do chores faster, require less sleep and live healthier as a result – so no time lost.

Here's what's covered in the bonus report...

  • Stop Wasting Time and Money At the Gym: If going to the gym is a trial for you, find out how to get all the benefits and more without leaving your own neighbourhood. Save commuting time and do it all for free. (And you won't have to invest in any fancy equipment that forces you to work out in a cluttered, moldy basement).

  • Are You Cooking Your Organs? In Traditional Chinese Medicine they teach that long-drawn out cardio exercises, overheat your body and put undue strain on the organs. Find out how to get all the benefits of jogging, in 1/3 the time, without the negative side effects.

  • Why Weightlifting Hasn't Helped You Lose Weight: If you've been using machines or free weights you're probably not thrilled with the results. You haven't slimmed down as much as you want. Your constipation hasn't gone away. You feel more stiff and sore than pumped and energized. Well, on page 2 of the bonus report, I'll show how to get an intense muscle-building, fat-burning session without any weights. It's so simple, yet so effective. And that's just ONE of the topics covered in this free bonus report.


You'll also discover how to "de-constipate" these other areas of your life...

• How to reduce your time in the kitchen without reducing the nutritional value (page 2).

• How to keep your body clean and attractive with less time in the bathroom (page 3).

• How to get enough fresh air and sunshine – two key ingredients to beating depression and improving digestion (page 3).

• How to keep up with hobbies and personal projects that always seem to get dropped and forgotten (thus c

A Common Cause of Constipation: Eating Cold Fruit

constipation fruitLast article, I shared with you the art and science of ripening fruit. Someone emailed me and asked...


"If we should put fruit in the fridge once it's become ripe, doesn't that mean we'll end up eating cold fruit? In one of your articles you advised against eating cold food."


Yes, that's right. Cold food (and drink) will inhibit the proper flow of acids and enzymes in your body. The only exception is if you are overheated.


Eating cold fruit all the time can definitely cause constipation. So here's a quick way to warm up fruit after it comes out of the fridge...


1. Place it in a bowl.


2. Fill that bowl up with hot water and drain. Repeat. (This is to clean the fruit.)


3. Cover the fruit with hot water and let it sit for a few minutes. The bigger the fruit, the longer it'll need to sit. 1 minute for grapes, 5 minutes for an apple or orange. Watermelon could take a while.


If you're in a real rush, cut the fruit up first.


If you are not eating organic you may want to add a tablespoon of vinegar to the water. This will help remove some of the pesticides from the skin. However, if it's not organic, you should probably just peel it. Of course, you can't do this with fruit likes grapes. So use vinegar or go organic.


DO NOT try to warm the fruit up in the microwave. This will kill the fruit. If you don't believe me, try planting a microwaved apple in the ground and see what little happens.


You can also use a bowl of hot water to heat up other foods like milk or juice. It's easier than being on guard against a pot over-boiling on the stove.


Just make sure you don't use a glass bowl, as these will shatter when exposed to high heats.


I also don't recommend plastic, as toxins may leach into your fruit.


Clay is the best choice. Or you can use a non-stick pot. Iron is best.


Bottom line is, if you want to get rid of your constipation, bloating and gas, start eating your fruit warmed up.

Cure Constipation With Ripened Fruit

constipation fruitLast article (bold), we talked about how eating unripe fruit is a cause of constipation, but it's also tasteless and unnatural to eat. Today, I'm going to show you how to ensure you always have enough ripe fruit available to eat each day.


Bananas can actually help ripen other fruit. Remember how I said bananas release plenty of ethylene (the gas that triggers enzymes to start ripening the fruit)? Well, you can take some other fruit, like hard pears, pineapples or grapes and put them in a paper bag with a banana peel. The banana's excess ethylene will trigger the ripening genes in the other fruit in the bag.


You should use a paper bag -- not a plastic bag. Paper allows air to pass through. Enzymes require oxygen as a fuel.


If, like most North Americans, you buy your groceries once a week, you'll want to apply this ripening acceleration process on only some of your fruit. Other unripe fruit should just be left out at room temperature. Other fruit, could be put into an air conditioned room or a cold cellar. If it's the winter, just leave them on your window sill.


This way you'll stagger when the fruit becomes ripe. Some will become ripe more quickly, some will take the usual amount of time... and some will take an extra long while.


If that sounds too complicated... then just let the fruit ripen on its own. But when it becomes ripe, place it in the refrigerator.

Do not, however, place unripe fruit in the refrigerator. Your fridge is too cold and will stop fruit from ripening properly at all. You'll end up having peaches that taste like rubber.


Keep, in mind also, that the same goes for tomatoes. Tomatoes are botanically a fruit. They contain seeds and grow from a flower. You should only store them in the fridge when they are ripe.


So when you get your fruit home from the grocery store, check it out...


1. If it's ripe, put it in the fridge.
2. If it's unripe, put it in the fruit bowl on the counter.
3. If you want some of the fruit to ripen quicker, put it in a bag with a banana.


If you ever find that you still do not have any ripe fruit in the house, keep some dried fruit on hand. Remember to do a quick soak in boiling water, as described in Constipation Relief Strategy #4. You can also whizz it up in a smoothie, to be extra sure it won't dry up your stools.


I hope the above guidance helps you with your gastrointestinal tract. It awes me to realize that some people haven't really enjoyed ripe fruit. In our modern culture of cookies and donuts, people don't even know how to eat fruit. They get a basket of peaches from the farmers market, soft enough to drive a nail through (but not your teeth) and bite into them right away.


No wonder people get hooked on sugary snacks (which is another cause of constipation). So try eating some RIPE fruit instead. It tastes great, and you'll feel better in more ways than one.


Oh yeah. With some fruits -- like peaches, apples, pears and bananas -- you can stew them or bake them to make them edible. As described in Constipation Relief Strategy #4, eating apples will cause constipation in many people unless they're cooked. Just cut them up, place them in a pot with some water. Bring to a boil and simmer. Of course, you're better off eating mostly raw fruit or raw fruit juice. Still, homemade applesauce is a far, far healthier sweet treat than a chocolate bar.

How to Use Masturbation to Beat Premature Ejaculation

How to Use Masturbation to Beat Premature Ejaculation (Secrets to Boost Stamina in Bed Exposed!)




By Lloyd Lester, Creator, EjaculationByCommand.com


masturbationIf you have been wondering about how to beat premature ejaculation and increase your stamina in bed, you will want to read this now. Did you know that masturbation - if performed in the right way - can boost your sexual stamina? It's true. However, there are 4 important tips you need to remember if you are ever going to make a success out of it.


Tip #1 - Don't Ever Do It Without the Right Lubricant


The purpose of masturbation, especially when you are doing it to last longer in bed, is to make the experience as close as you can to normal sex. When you masturbate without a lubricant, your penis becomes extremely sensitive to a dry hand. So, once you start your experience with your woman, your penis will not be able to adjust to a warm and moist environment. Always use a lubricant when you are masturbating. It is the smart thing to do.


Tip #2 - Do Not Rush Through It


Men are naturally hardwired to stimulate themselves to ejaculate quickly during masturbation. But to adapt masturbatory techniques to boost sexual endurance, you have to do it differently. Take it S-L-O-W. If you are the type who gets it over in one minute flat, you may have a tough job getting used to it. Here's the trick: Stop all stimulation when you feel close to a climax.


Remember, masturbation should be a process of training when you have premature ejaculation. Rushing through it - no matter how eager you are about getting off - is the worst thing you do. You should progressively stretch the process out to 15 to 20 minutes, so that you reap real benefits from this technique.


Tip #3 - Do Not Get Distracted


The right time to train yourself is when you are relaxed, and not likely to be distracted. If you are in a hurry, just don't do it.


Tip #4 - Avoid Getting Overly Excited


Most men go about using this technique in an incorrect manner. You see, some men will watch pornography until they start getting an arousal. Then they start to stimulate themselves. That is wrong. Ideally, you should be building up the arousal right from the start. It is only then that you will understand when and how to control your arousal, which is the most vital component in helping you enjoy longer lasting sex without ejaculating early.


Remember, you can use masturbation not just for your own self-seeking pleasure, but as a super effective springboard to control your premature ejaculation. These four tips will get you started the right way.

Do You Ejaculate Too Fast During Sex?

Do You Ejaculate Too Fast During Sex? Stop! 3 Things About Premature Ejaculation You Should Know!




By Lloyd Lester, Creator, EjaculationByCommand.com


too fast ejaculationAm I ejaculating too fast during sex? Do women find my lack of sexual stamina laughable? Am I really pleasing my girl in bed each time I have sex? Do these sound like questions you have been asking yourself lately? If they do, don't be ashamed about it. In fact, as many as forty percent of men have some issues about not lasting long enough in bed. So you are definitely not alone in finishing too soon during sex. Some guys have it so bad that they ejaculate the moment they penetrate their partners.


If you are like many men who wish they could last longer, you probably have many questions about premature ejaculation. If so, this article is just for you. Keep reading as we find answers to three common questions asked.


How long does the average man last in bed?


Five to ten minutes is a common yardstick, although most men are closer to five minutes. Considering the fact that most women take an average of fifteen minutes to reach an orgasm through vaginal penetration, it only means that the vast majority of women are unable to experience the full pleasures of lovemaking.


Is lasting longer always better?


Most men think so. BUT here's the simple truth. You only need to last as long as it takes for her to get an orgasm. And it does not even need to be through vaginal penetration! You see, women are capable of reaching a climax through a variety of means. Foreplay, oral sex, and yes - even, mental seduction is known to cause an orgasm in a woman! As long as she receives her orgasm, the amount of time you spend penetrating her does not really matter. Hint: Take your time during foreplay and bring her to a climax before intercourse. Even if you do not last 30 seconds into intercourse, you are way better than 99% of all men!


I want to impress a hot date in bed at short notice... what can I do?


There is a quick and easy way to sort this out. Masturbate about an hour or two before you are due to have sex. By "clearing up your pipes" and releasing your sexual tension, your penis will become less responsive and it takes longer to stimulate it to the same levels of excitement. This stop-gap measure can easily add crucial minutes when you have sex. And she wouldn't know a thing about it, either!

Premature Ejaculation Facts

Premature Ejaculation Facts - 4 Tantalizing Truths About Early Ejaculation You Don't Want to Miss!




By Lloyd Lester, Creator,EjaculationByCommand.com


premature ejaculation factsIf you want to understand how to control premature ejaculation, you have to start off with the facts first. After all, how can you cure a condition (common as it is) without understanding the factors behind it?


Fact #1 - Do I have premature ejaculation?


Start with the basics. Do you have premature ejaculation? It is quite common among men. However, I won't say that you have it if you are just complaining about not lasting an hour in bed. Truth is, premature ejaculation occurs when you ejaculate before you or you partner want you to.


I can understand the frustration and pain you go through when you fail to satisfy your women repeatedly. The good news is that in most cases there is no medical reason behind it. What's more, it is not something you have to tolerate forever. There are authentic ways in which you can tackle PE for good.


Fact #2 - Why do I have premature ejaculation?


Well, it is usually the result of two factors.


1.  Genetic Programming - This is the result of years of genetic conditioning. Sex is primarily meant for reproduction and not for pleasure. After all, what did cave men care about satisfying their women? It is a genetic programming among men that make them fail to last longer. So take heart. It is not your fault. You are just the result of Mother Nature's efficient means of human reproduction!


2.  Overly Responsive Nervous System: When men are younger, their nervous systems are more acutely attuned to sexual sensations. As a result, younger men suffer more from PE. Your condition should improve as you get older.


The great news is that with a responsive nervous system, you have less chances of getting an erectile dysfunction (another common sexual dysfunction) even when you age!


Fact #3 - Do I need to go to a doctor?


In all likelihood - no. Of course you can arrange for a visit just to make sure that there is nothing medically wrong with you. After all, you don't need to go on worrying if a simple antibiotic can clear up your problem!


Fact #4 - How can I satisfy a woman even with premature ejaculation? 


The truth is that women vary in the time they take to come to an orgasm during sex. While some may take up to 20 minutes to reach a climax, others may need just 5 minutes! The trick is to understand YOUR woman and how to satisfy her according to what she needs. Does she prefer foreplay? What about oral sex? These are great ways to give her a tantalizing climax before you even begin penetration!

Treatment of Premature Ejaculation

Treatment of Premature Ejaculation - What Makes a Good Treatment to Improve Sexual Stamina?




By Lloyd Lester, Creator, EjaculationByCommand.com


treatment ejaculationLet's face it. You have no lack of options on the table (or in bed) when it comes to treating premature ejaculation. But before we move on to examine the various alternatives and what makes a good cure, it is important to properly understand what premature ejaculation really is - and if you are really suffering from it.


You could be a premature ejaculator if:


1.  You come to an orgasm within 2 minutes of intercourse


2.  You are unable to sexually fulfill your female partner on more than 50% of the occasion


3.  Your inability to last long enough is causing distress to you or your partner


But really, you do not need to feel embarrassed or humiliated if you are suffering from premature ejaculation. This is not a form of illness or disease, and the fact that you are among 20 to 40 percent of all men who have to deal with this issue means that you are not alone in this. And the sooner you recognize that you need help, the faster you will resolve this problem and enjoy the kind of long lasting sex that you know you deserve.


So what is considered a good PE treatment?


When evaluating the treatment options best suited for you, I suggest you take these 2 criteria into consideration:


1.  The treatment provides a PERMANENT cure instead of just a short-term solution


2.  The treatment should be natural and relies on your body's natural responses to improve your sexual stamina.


So which PE treatments are recommended? Let's take a look below.


Common premature ejaculation treatments


These are some of the common "cures" for PE. Let us examine if they are really effective and provide a long-term solution to your early ejaculation.


1.  Anti-depressants - There are plenty on the market, with notable ones such as Prozac and Paxil. Are they worth your time? Well, these drugs do work, but they come with unintended consequences - such as the loss of libido or even difficulty in ejaculating. You have to consume these pills or drugs on a daily basis. Plus they don't work if you take them just before sex. Before taking on these drugs, it is best that you consult a doctor about the potential side effects and if they are the best option for you.


2.  Numbing applicators such as creams, lotions and sprays - These are popular solutions among men suffering from PE. They do work, but these are more of temporary quick fixes that do not permanently cure your early ejaculation problem. They can be useful if you need extra endurance at a moment's notice, but solutions such as desensitizing creams have the potential to dull or lower the sensations you and your partner will experience during sex.


3.  Naturally "re-wire" your ejaculatory response - This is a permanent treatment and addresses the root causes of your premature ejaculation. It encompasses a natural, time-tested training routine that conditions your body to withstand sexual stimulation and prolong your ejaculation. You will not see immediate results, but you will definitely experience permanent effects of lasting longer in bed, every single time.

How to Avoid Premature Ejaculation

How to Avoid Premature Ejaculation - Stop These 3 Things and Turbo-Charge Your Stamina in Bed!




By Lloyd Lester, Creator, EjaculationByCommand.com


stop premature ejaculationThe problem of premature ejaculation is not something out of this world. It happens to almost 40% of men at some stage of their lives. The only problem is that it tends to last long and has a negative impact on your personal life. Are you sure you are doing everything to prevent this from happening? We are not talking about reading up countless books! Take a look at the checklist below and make sure you are not bringing these upon yourself.


What Are The 3 Things You Should Avoid?


#1 - The Effects of Stress


Stress is your worst enemy, as far as your premature ejaculation goes. Whether it is related to your job or your performance in bed, stress can wreck havoc on your body. It leads to an increase in your blood pressure, a surge of adrenaline and a peaking of your sexual pleasure before you have had a chance to enjoy it fully. So what do you do about it?


Try to make a conscious effort to relax whenever you feel yourself go tense and stressed out. Take deep, thoughtful breaths and watch that tension ebb away.


#2 - Getting Mad


Believe it or not, being angry during sex can cause you to lose ejaculatory control in just a few moments. This happens in 2 ways. First of all, anger releases a surge of negative feelings within you. More importantly, it cuts out the communication that is so vital when you are making love. Think about it. You are not looking into her eyes - they are glowering at you in all probability, and that is NEVER good for your arousal control. What's more, the surge of blood will make you lose control of your ejaculation reflexes very quickly, sometimes within seconds!


#3 - Wrong Masturbation Techniques


Strange as it sounds, the right masturbation technique can help you last longer. But a wrong way of self-stimulation can cause more harm than good. What are we talking about? If you have been used to a quick fix when you are pleasing yourself, it will be reflected in bed. The logic is simple. Your body becomes accustomed to a quick orgasm (and a weak one) when you masturbate quickly. The other problem is when you masturbate too frequently. If you are getting off by yourself three times a day, and getting off fast, you are spoiling your chances when the real thing hits in bed, so beware!

Why Cardio Doesn't Work For Some People

cardioAt the Burn the Fat Inner Circle member forums, I get a question which comes up with alarming frequency: “Why isn’t my cardio working?”  Despite not only doing regular cardio for weeks, but actually increasing the duration of her workouts, one member still saw no added fat loss and started wondering what she was doing wrong… or what was wrong with her!  I gave her the surprisingly simple answer, which I’ve printed for you as well in this article and new research has added even more to the answer – it’s a NEAT explanation…

How is it possible that some people do tons of cardio and don’t lose weight?


Simple: Weight loss is a function of caloric deficit, not how much cardio you do. Cardio is only one of the tools you use to create and increase a caloric deficit.


Endurance athletes are a perfect example for illustrating the error in thinking that “an hour a day” (or whatever amount) of cardio will guarantee weight loss…


They might train for two, three, even four hours or more on some days, but they are often not trying to lose weight. They (have to) eat huge amounts of food to fuel their training and keep their weight stable.


It’s not unusual at all for a cyclist to burn 4000 or 5000 calories per day and not lose any weight. Why? Same reason you’re doing a lot of cardio but not losing weight:  there’s no calorie deficit. Calories in are equaling the calories out.


What you need to do is shift your focus OFF of some kind of prerequisite time spent doing cardio and ON to the REAL pre-requisite for weight loss: a caloric deficit.


If your caloric intake remains exactly the same and you add cardio or other training or activity you will create a deficit and you will lose weight, guaranteed.


With all this talk about “cardio” and “training” one important area that people often forget about is all the other activity in your life outside of your cardio and weight training. There’s a name for that:


Non exercise activity thermogenesis, or NEAT


NEAT is all your physical activity throughout the day, excluding your “formal” workouts.


NEAT includes all the calories you burn from casual walking, shopping, yard work, housework, standing, pacing and even little things like talking, chewing, changing posture, maintaining posture and fidgeting. Walking contributes to the majority of NEAT


It seems like a bunch of little stuff – and it is – which is why most people completely ignore it. Big mistake.


At the end of the day, week, month and year, all the little stuff adds up to a very significant amount of energy. For most people, NEAT accounts for about 30% of physical activity calories spent daily, but NEAT can run as low 15% in sedentary individuals and as high as 50% in highly active individuals.


I’m always telling people to exercise more – to burn more, not just eat less. This is not only for health, fitness and well-being, but also to help increase fat loss.


But some people say that increasing exercise doesn’t always work and they quote from research to make their case.  It’s true that some studies paradoxically don’t show better weight loss by adding exercise on top of diet.


But there are explanations for this…


If you add training into your fat loss regime but you don’t maintain your nutritional discipline and keep your food intake the same, you remain in energy balance. If a study doesn’t monitor this type of compensation, or if the researchers trust the subjects to accurately self-report their own food intake (hahahahahahahaha!), it will look like the exercise was for nothing.


In studies where the food intake was controlled when exercise was added… surprise, surprise, weight loss increased!


Stated differently, all these “experts” who keep saying that exercise doesn’t work for weight loss are  ignoring or not understanding the concepts of calorie deficit and energy compensation.


Why  Exercise “Doesn’t Work” – The NEAT Explanation


So a handful of people exercise and then eat more than they were eating before and then scratch their heads and wonder why they aren’t losing. DUH!


Or, they go on some idiotic crusade against exercise. “SEE! exercise is a waste of time… all you have to do is follow the ‘magic’ diet!”


Wrong. Dieting alone is the worst way to lose weight because without training, the composition of the weight y
