Posted: under General Interest.

Losing weight is about planning, and hence you will need healthy and plan your meals in advance. To do that, you need to think abut the food you need to buy and cook with. So why not use a cheap online diet program like Fat Loss 4 Idiots - this is the most effective diet program, and can help you lose 9 lbs in 11 days - now that is fast!

Anyway, to help get started, read these simple weight loss tips to help trim your waistline now

1. People overeat will gain weight. This is simply a bad habit but can
be usually be corrected fairly quickly. If you start paying attention to your food and eat in moderation, you will shed the pounds quite easily. Unfortunately you have got into the habit of eating poor foods like fast foods, but given new dietary suggestions like eating more fresh, wholesome foods - you can change your eating habits over time.
Your bad eating habits are simply a result of bad food choices which can be improved.

2. Never ever starve yourself, and never stuff yourself. You ideally want to be eating 6 healthy meals a day which allows your body to constantly burn calories. If this is not possible, eat 3 sizeable meals per day but have healthy snacks in between so that you do not become hungry. When your body gets hungry, your metabolism rapidly decreases because it is trying to conserve energy for later (your body always tries to be as efficient as possible whilst burning as few calories as possible). Therefore, by continuing to consistently eat you are keeping the furnace burning which keeps your metabolism high.

3. ‘Bad’ foods can be good. The keys are portion size and cooking method. Juicy, tender cuts of steaks are fatty but are fine to eat if you trim the lard before cooking, or grill it so excess fat can drip away. As for an easy guideline on portions, always eat less steak than you would chicken and eat off 1 salad plate only (no more than one serve). Controlling your fat intake and portion size is a great combination to reduce the amount of your daily calories.

4. Unfortunately, plateaus are a routine in weight loss. Try eating dinner earlier, so you can have a longer period overnight without food. Have a day off each week when you eat whatever you like to kick start fat burning. Finally if the plateau has gone for longer than two weeks, you may need to consume more food to fuel your body to exercise at the level you have set for yourself.

Techno music and songs available at JonLeger.com

Posted: under General Interest.

You can now find a lot of great techno songs at JonLeger.com. In case you’re interested in creating music yourself, here’s how he does it:

FL Studio

His primary tool for creating electronic music is FL Studio. FL Studio has it all: a mixer, a sequencer, loads of special effects and filters. Truly fantastic. He strongly suggests you purchase a copy! It takes a while to get used to using it, but it really makes music-making a digital breeze.

MAGIX Music Editor 2.0

When Jon needs to modify, cut and paste the sounds he uses in his songs, he uses MAGIX. It was cheap — he got it at Best Buy for $30. It’s very handy for the wave-editing that FL Studio can’t do. He looked at their site (magix.com), but I couldn’t find it. Maybe they don’t sell it anymore?

Bink Video’s RAD Video Tools

He’s started making songs based on movies and TV shows that he likes, and sometimes it’s useful to extract sounds from the movie trailers and movie clips that are available online. To accomplish this he uses the RAD Video Tools from Bink Video. They’re donationware, so be sure to give them a few bucks if you find their stuff useful (he did).

Loops and Samples

Jon has purchased thousands of loops, samples and instruments for use in FL Studio. Two of the places he’s gotten the sounds from are PlatinumLoops.com and PeaceLoveProductions.com. Both have a large selection at reasonable prices.

Hardware

He uses an audio-technica studio microphone for vocals (AT3035), and an Edirol UA-25 USB Audio Capture device to record from the microphone. He loves the Edirol because it’s very small (perfect for my desk) and supports two studio microphones and has a digital output for headphones.

If you’re interested in creating your own music, he wants to tell you this: it’s a lot easier (and cheaper) than you might think. You don’t need a studio (even for vocals). He records vocals in his office at home. All of the software and equipment costs came to around $1,250 (including the loops). The equipment all fits on my desk, and the software runs on my home PC. FL Studio needs a good bit of memory, so Jon suggests you don’t have less than 1GB of RAM (that’s how much he has and it works fine).
