How to Repair a Damaged Metabolism

Hi promosionline,

Would you like an easy diet plan where you don't have
to worry about your metabolism or starvation mode ever
again? Check out "Eat Stop Eat":

http://www.idealweightlossplans.com/go/eatstopeat

Are you a chronic dieter? Do you tend to gain weight
even on a relatively small number of calories? Have you
been stuck on a weight plateau for weeks or months? If you
answered yes to these questions, you might have a damaged
metabolism.

Diets really do wreak havoc on our bodies. If you
follow a very low-calorie diet, your body could react by
going into self-preservation mode, wherein it stores more
fat than usual to sustain itself.

This is a throwback to our ancestors' days, when famine
was a real concern and our bodies had to hang onto as much
fat as possible to survive the lean times.

For many of us, diets are the modern-day famine. We
starve ourselves, then wonder why we rapidly regain the
weight - and often a little extra - that we lost. The
regain occurs because our metabolisms are still in famine
mode.

Fortunately, such damage is seldom permanent. It can be
repaired with a little time, patience, and courage. Here
are some tips to help you get your diet-damaged metabolism
back up to speed:

Tip 1: Eat more, not less.

Your metabolism has slowed down to match your reduced
calorie intake. You can rev it up by giving it a normal
amount of calories, or even a slight surplus.

Go online to find a BMR calculator. This will help
determine your basal metabolic rate, or how many calories
your body needs to carry out essential functions based on
your weight and lifestyle.

Once you've learned how many calories you need to
sustain your current weight, start eating close to that
number of calories each day. Get your calories from whole
grains, lean protein, fruits and vegetables, and low-fat
dairy products.

Your body will start to lose weight again once you
convince it, through good nutrition, that it's safe to let
go of its fat stores.

Tip 2: Time your meals.

Small, regularly-spaced meals will keep your metabolism
working as your body is continually processing food. Start
with a good breakfast each morning, and eat four or five
more mini-meals throughout the day.

You can avoid hunger - and a sluggish metabolism - by
never going longer than three hours without eating.

Tip 3: Build muscle.

The stronger and leaner you are, the more calories your
body will burn at rest. When combined with proper
nutrition, more muscle means a healthier metabolism.

To give your damaged metabolism a boost, add strength
training to your workout routine. You can use resistance
bands, free weights, or find an exercise program that uses
your own body weight as resistance.

Muscle building has been shown to speed up the
metabolic repair process. Start out by doing strength
training 3 times a week, then work your way up to a level
you're comfortable with.

Tip 4: Expect some initial weight gain.

This is where courage factors in. Your body has grown
accustomed to surviving on a very small amount of
calories.

When you start feeding it normally, it will do what it
was designed to do: gain weight. This simple fact keeps
many dieters from moving forward with their healthy plans.

On average, dieters gain between five and ten pounds
after they increase their calories for metabolism repair.

Please remember that this weight gain is temporary! It
will last for a few weeks, or for a few months at the
most. Just stick to your plan and you will definitely see
the scale drop again.

Tip 5: Have patience.

Persistence is the key to repairing your damaged
metabolism. Even if you eat well and exercise frequently,
it can take months for your body to recover from the
devastating effects of yo-yo dieting.

Just be patient, and focus on your total health instead
of a number on the scale. After your metabolism has
healed, you will be more fit than ever. You'll also be
able to enjoy a larger number of calories, but still lose
weight. Those are goals worth working for!


Bye for now,

6 Twitter Tips to Improve Email Results

promosionline

Earlier this week I read a headline stating that Twitter would
supersede email marketing. I found the statement ironic as
just two day's earlier, Twitter had announced they would
begin delivering a weekly email digest.

_________________________________

Clearly Twitter is not about to replace email marketing.
Twitter even recognizes that email is a great way to keep in
touch with their users, thus their new email digest feature.

What's more, a March 2012 Chief Marketer survey found
78% of US marketing professionals said email is their most
popular marketing tool. Email newsletters were the second
most common marketing tactic with 59% using them.

Email marketing works and works well! Thus the reason so
many marketers use email to reach customers.

Twitter is not about to make email marketing obsolete.
Rather Twitter, when used in combination with email, is an
extremely powerful marketing strategy.

Email and Twitter are a Dynamic Duo!

Let's review 6 Twitter tactics that will improve your email
marketing results.

1) Twitter expands your following.

Twitter allows you to reach out to individuals you do not
know. If you were to email messages to unknown people
you would end up being labeled a spammer.

Using Twitter Search and Twellow you can identify other
Twitter users in your industry. Follow these individuals and
engage them in conversations on Twitter. You'll find many
of the individuals you follow will in turn follow you. The
result is you'll build your following without ever sending an
unsolicited message!

2) Twitter increases your web traffic.

When you have followers on Twitter, you have an audience
base who will share your message with others. The key is to
share content with your followers that they then retweet.

Retweeted messages generate traffic to your site. You can
convert that traffic into email subscribers. Be sure every
page of your web site has an email sign-up form. See the
article - 12 Steps To More Subscribers - on getting
subscribers from your web site.

Use these 4 strategies to get your tweets retweeted:

  • Tweet content with links to interesting information
  • Tweet about Twitter
  • Ask for retweets by including - "Please retweet"
  • Send your tweets during slow weekend times (Friday - Sunday)
3) Twitter improves your search engine position.

In their listing algorithm both Google and Bing consider
how many people share your content. The more often your
content and tweets are shared the more authoritative the
search engines think you are!

Encourage retweets of your tweets. Encourage tweets of
your email. Encourage tweets of your site's content. The
more often your Twitter handle is tweeted the better your
search engine position gets! Your site and your tweets can
gain a good search engine position on your keywords.

Select keywords for your business and include them
regularly in your tweets as well as in your Twitter biography
description. Search engines may display your Twitter
biography information with your links so make sure it's an
attention getting description.

4) Twitter builds your email list.

The individuals who follow you on Twitter often will also
subscribe to your emails. The key is to regularly send a
sign-up offer to your followers. Your sign-up offer should
include the benefits of subscribing to your email list.

In addition, tweet teasers of your email newsletter contents
to encourage people to sign-up for your list. Send out tweets
of an email only promotion you're running and remind
followers they need to be subscribed to your email list to get
the offer.

5) Twitter quickly puts you in front of your audience.

Tweets are short and sweet. The best length for a tweet is
between 120 -130 characters. I don't know about you but
writing 125 characters takes me a lot less time then creating
and sending an entire email.

Not to mention, tweeting a link to an interesting article you
just read is really easy!

Plus Twitter is all about posting frequently! If you were to
send as many emails to your subscribers as is recommended
when sending tweets, you would be banned from inboxes.

The life of a link on Twitter is about 3 hours. Set up 15 - 25
tweets to go out in a day and you easily stay in front of your
audience. You can use tools like Roost or Buffer
to schedule and track your tweets. Track your tweets for
responses and share your best tweets in your email
newsletter.

6) Twitter gets you feedback.

Twitter let's you interact with your followers so you can find
out what they're interested in learning more about. You can
ask for and immediately receive feedback about content,
subject lines, products / services, etc.

Use Twitter to research and develop content for your email
newsletter. Answer followers questions and share those
conversations in your emails as well.

You can also host a Twitter chat to do further market
research or to engage your subscribers in your brand. See
the article: 5 Steps to Hosting Successful Twitter Chats:
Your Ultimate Guide
.

Twitter is a terrific tool to expand the reach of your email
marketing messages, develop your email content and build
your email list! Use these 6 Twitter strategies to improve
your email marketing and you'll see the difference.

Did you send ♥ this Mother's Day?

promosionline

I had to smile when I opened my email on Sunday
afternoon.

I noticed right away heart characters in my inbox. Two
retailers perfectly implemented the use of heart characters in
their subject lines to catch recipients' attentions. Using
character's in your subject was a topic I had just covered in
the Friday DEMC E-Magazine issue.

Here's a screen shot of those marketing email messages in
my inbox:

Heart Character in Subject Lines

Note how the first retailer OshKosh uses a heart character in
place of the word love in the subject line. The second
retailer uses the heart character at the start of their subject
line as an attention grabber. Both mailers kept their subject
lines short and concise.

The second subject line from The Children's Place, overall
was more effective as it also gave me a reason to open their
email.

See how The Children's Place used a specific offer and the
word "free" to get me to act on the message's contents.

The Children's Place subject line uses 5 of the key points discussed
in my 10 point subject line check list. You can read it here -
Do Your Subject Lines Pass This Test?

My Sunday email inbox had one other interesting use of
characters worthy of mentioning. One crafty marketer had
a smiley character in his "From" line to make his message
stand out.

Here's a screen shot:

Character in From

As you can see characters are a clever tactic you can use to
gain attention in a crowded inbox. They won't guarantee
your message gets opened, but they do make your brand
stand out.

What ideas do you have for using characters in your
upcoming email campaigns?
