Drink Water To Lose Weight

Normal 0

By Jim Nettleton

Okay, what’s one of the most important, but very frequently overlooked items in your weight loss program – or programs, if you’ve tried several?

One word: water. Yes, water.

Water plays an essential role in any weight loss program for several reasons. First, it aids digestion and assists in elimination. Even more importantly, drinking a regular supply of water throughout your day will ensure the fact that your body is consistently well hydrated. This, of course, aids in all facets of maintaining efficient body functions. The importance of water to a weight loss program cannot be overstated.

Now, let’s talk about carbohydrates. They are the little rascals that give us energy and, as such, they are highly important as you try to lose weight. But you must bear in mind that not all carbohydrates are created equal. Some are a positive influence on your diet, but others are not.

For example, simple carbohydrates like sugar can, indeed, supply a shot of energy. Sugar enters the bloodstream quickly, but acts more like a hit and run quick cure than a sustained level of energy than can be realized by consuming the complex carbohydrates, like vegetables, fruits and grains. The complex variety also has the benefit of ‘filling you up’, thereby staving off hunger for a longer period.

In the American lifestyle, too many people are eating far too many simple carbohydrates, due in large part to our dependence on junk foods. So in your diet regimen, make certain you spurn the simples and consume the complex. Not only are they far better for you in general, but eating more of them will assist you in your weight loss program.

Proteins are next on the agenda. As you probably know, proteins are constructed of amino acids, which are sometimes referred to as the building blocks of the body. Proteins not only assist in repairing and maintaining the body, but are also a significant source of energy. Energy from protein, however, is slower to manifest itself – considerably slower than energy derived from carbohydrates – so don’t fall into the trap of consuming simple carbohydrates for that quick energy boost. Be patient.

Another source of energy are foods containing fats. Fats, too, are a quick energy booster, but they also contain calories galore and have well-documented health risks as well, so you’d be well advised to shun them – not entirely, of course, but keep intake to a minimum.

Expanding further on the minimum intake thought, it is recommended that you eat no more than 30% of your daily calorie total in fats. It doesn’t hurt to lower that more – that is a maximum suggested percentage.

In summation, wean yourself from simple carbohydrates like sugar and concentrate on eating the complex carbohydrates that you need, like vegetables, fruits and grain. Make certain that you get enough fiber in your diet. If you haven’t been eating enough fiber, don’t boost your total all at once. That could lead to considerable discomfort. Raise your intake slowly, over a week or more, until you reach the recommended level.

Make certain that your diet is well balanced and nutritious. And to assist you further, take vitamin and mineral supplements, but be sure they’re good quality and, preferably, liquid. Liquid vitamins and minerals are absorbed more readily and, as a result, your body receives more of their potency. Ideally, intravenous delivery is the way to go, a method practiced by my friends at the Cherry Hill Center For Molecular Medicine in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. They can be reached at 856-490-0505.

Good luck with your weight loss program.

Keep Close Tabs On Vitamins And Minerals When Dieting

Normal 0

By Jim Nettleton

Many people who are overweight suffer from an accompanying potentially dangerous syndrome; lack of proper nutrition. Because their eating habits are not balanced, deficiencies in this vital area are relatively common in overweight people. This problem

becomes magnified when they go on a diet.

It is imperative that they pay close attention to getting the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals when dieting. Because dieters in many instances dramatically reduce their food intake while trying to lose weight, the amount of vitamins and minerals consumed are also often radically reduced.

But be careful in your choices of supplements. I’d recommend that you consult with a competent nutritionist who can help you choose supplements that will actually provide your body with the right amounts of vitamins and minerals and will ensure that they contain proper potency. Many commercial supplements do not deliver the potency that they claim. Further, when taken in tablet form, the actual amount the body absorbs is

lessened, thereby reducing the benefits even more.

While the bottle may claim to deliver 100% minimum daily requirements of various vitamins and minerals, by the time those tablets reach your blood stream you could be getting only 30% or less.

Using the best supplements can also help you in your weight loss quest. They contribute to making you feel more full. If you’re on a diet and you feel hungry most of the time, beware. Something about that diet is very wrong.

The best possible scenario, if you have it available in your region, is supplementation intravenously, a service along the lines of that offered by the Cherry Hill Center For Molecular Medicine, in Cherry Hill, NJ. You can call Dr. Molly Fantasia at 856-489-0505 if you’re nearby to their clinic. Sure, it costs more than other types of supplements, but the method ensures an extremely high degree of absorption of the nutrients.

If you can afford it, it’s best to have your diet personalized for you and you alone. This would require utilizing the services of a dietitian and a nutritionist, although in many instances those two fields are combined in one person, which makes it a lot less financially daunting.

If you follow this path, your chances of being successful in your attempt to lose weight will be considerably higher, since your body won’t be craving those things that are missing in less well thought out diets. A lack of the elements that your body needs is one of the major factors in the failure of dieters to achieve their goals.

So follow this plan. Begin by consulting with a qualified nutritionist to make certain you’re getting all the nutrients you need and in sufficient quantities. And if you can, go the intravenous route. The extra effort and/or expense will be well worth it.

I wish you the best in your dieting efforts.

Who Said You Have To Eat It All?

Normal 0

By Jim Nettleton

Remember your mom saying something like “You can’t leave the table until you finish your food”? Usually, this command was accompanied by a solemn statement concerning the number of hungry children in the world and was fashioned into the reason that we were not to waste our food.

The more sarcastically inclined among us would retort with a snappy line, urging mom to send the food to those kids. This response was rarely well received. The serious side of this childhood ritual was that it implanted a life long psychological bombshell that sneakily nudged us toward consuming large quantities of food. Following that blueprint is one of the major ingredients that lead people to crash diets to lose that extra weight that is piled on their bodies.

The new mantra has to be, ‘eat until you’re satisfied, not until you’re completely full.’ Leftover food will keep very well. There is no need to consume all of it at one sitting. In days past, when your mom gave you the ‘eat it all’ ultimatum, people didn’t realize the harm that kind of thinking could create all through life. At the time, it seemed a sensible approach. Today, we know that nothing could be further from the truth. Bad eating habits learned early can be an unrelenting albatross throughout our lives.

Here’s a valuable tip. If a lot of leftover food is more the rule than the exception after you and your family has finished a meal, then you need to rethink the quantity of food you’re preparing. That should be obvious, but many families just keep churning out excess food day after day, week after week. A bit too little food is far better than too much.

Another trouble area is going out to eat, whether at a restaurant or at a friend’s house. Being the polite folk we are, there is an implied obligation to play magician and make all food presented disappear. Many of us are reluctant to ask for a doggie bag at a restaurant, or to tell our hosts that we just can’t eat anymore. Don’t fall victim to this big diet mistake.

Another diet buster is our habit of putting all food that has been cooked for a particular dinner on the dining table, turning the meal into a sort of rotating buffet. A better idea is to fill a plate and take it to the table, eliminating the temptation of reaching for additional helpings that are just inches away. If you can reach more food easily, chances are you’ll grab it. For more tips and ideas, visit my web site through the link in the resource box below.

Maintaining a healthy weight is fast becoming a formidable challenge to all of us, especially Americans, whose tendency toward being overweight has been thoroughly chronicled in recent years. Following the above advice can help us break what has become a vicious cycle and get us moving in the right direction for our overall health. We need to seriously address our calorie intake and find creative ways to make our ideal weight a reality.

The old adage about getting exercise by pushing ourselves away from the table has never been more true, or more vital.

Eat Slowly To Aid Your Diet

Normal 0

By Jim Nettleton

There are many little tricks you can use to help yourself in your weight loss quest. For example, did you realize that slowing down your eating speed can have a positive effect in a diet? It’s true, but it’s an underutilized method that can be an important part of any dieting effort.

The more time you take to eat, the less food you’ll need to eat in order to satisfy your hunger. Here are some tips that can help break a bad habit of eating too rapidly, which can lead to eating too much food and, as a result, sabotaging your good intentions.

First of all, wait until you’ve finished the food you’re chewing before loading up that utensil again. It helps to physically put down your spoon or fork while you’re chewing what’s in your mouth. This sounds simple, but it’s a very effective technique.

Another simplistic sounding technique is to chew your food a little longer before finally swallowing. This accomplishes two things; it helps you digest food better and also allows you to feel more satisfied because of the additional time that it takes you to chew. As a result, you won’t need as large a quantity of food.

These simple techniques will help you break the habit of over eating because of consuming food too fast. The majority of us in this country probably all eat too fast. Other countries dine more leisurely than we. For example, even though the typical French diet is richer than ours, their method of eating brings balance to their diets. As a rule, they eat smaller portions but take a lot longer to eat their food than we do. This practice helps them to stay slim.

It’s a matter of getting yourself in the habit of slowing down. Once you do start eating a little slower, chances are you will enjoy your food a lot more. It will give you more time to savor and enjoy the tastes in your food.

Let’s not forget a simple rule that will help with our efforts to lose weight. Remember that your body does not react immediately to let you know you’ve had enough. It takes a little while following your meal for the body to signal that it needs no more. As a result, many of us overeat if we eat too fast, sort of blowing right by the stop sign. We feel that we are still hungry. So adopt this rule; never eat until you are full. The smart thing to do is eat until you feel comfortable that you have had enough. Don’t wait for your body to put up that stop sign.

Surviving the Holidays Without Weight Gain

How to lose more ponunds? weight loss, orovo detox, weight loss secrets...

In between Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year, most of us spend our time hopping from one party to another. The holiday season seems like such a booby trap for people conscious about weight control. After all, it’s the time of year to eat, drink and be merry. Is it possible for one to enjoy the bounty of the holidays without gaining unwanted pounds? If yes, how can one go about accomplish that goal? Below are some of the tips and tricks gleaned from health magazines.
• Have a low-calorie snack before the party to take the edge of your hunger off. Good choices are an apple, a piece of whole-grain bread, a small bowl of cereal, or soup. When you are already filled up somewhat, you are less likely to lose control at the party.
• At the party, serve yourself instead of letting the host or hostess to heap your plate full.
• Eat healthier foods, such as fruits and veggies, first. When you are not that ravenous, you won’t overindulge in the other stuff.
• In a restaurant setting, ask the waiter not to put bread on the table. Leave more room for your other favorite holiday treats instead.
• Choose foods that leave evidence of how much you have eaten. Keep the chicken wing bones and shrimp tails. When you see how much you already had, you’re less likely to eat more.
• Avoid wolfing down. Talk to fellow party-goers or make a habit of taking a sip of water every bite or two. When you go slow, you minimize the chances of going for seconds.
• Use a small plate. The smaller the dish, the less likely you’re going to take more than you want to.
• Instead of butter and cheese, use unsweetened fruit jam or low-fat yogurt to dress things up.
• Watch the alcohol, which not only packs a lot of calories but also slow down metabolism. Since overdrinking affects judgment, the more you drink, the more likely you’re to overeat.
• Have only a few bites of dessert. The first bite always tastes best, any way.
• Take a stroll afterwards. My husband and I like to do some window-shopping after a full meal because walking not only burns calories but also prevents bloating and heartburn.

Cut 100 Calories to Lose 10 Pounds Fast

Cutting just 100 calories a day from your diet can help you lose 10 pounds fast. This is a really easy way to see results because most people don’t even notice 100 calories. Here are ten ideas for cutting 100 calories from your diet without feeling the pain.

1.      Cut one can of soda from your day. Yep, sodas have tons of sugar, which gives them a lot of calories for such a small drink. Remember, a 20 ounce bottle of soda is two servings! So, only drink half that bottle to save 100 calories.

2.      Eat only 2/3 of a bagel to subtract 100 calories from your breakfast.

3.      Cut off ¼ off your slice of pepperoni pizza to save 100 calories a slice.

4.      Throw away eight McDonald’s French fries. That’s right, around eight fries has a whopping 100 calories. Imagine how many calories you’d save if you skipped the fries all together…

5.      Skip the latte. Even large skinny lattes can have over 100 calories.

6.      Decide to chew gum instead of those trendy 100 calorie snack packs.

7.      Eat a few less bites. Stop being a part of the clean-your-plate club and start leaving a little behind. A few bites here and there really don’t hurt you and they can add up to calories savings to boost your quick weight loss.

8.      Eat only a few bites of dessert.

9.      Don’t go back for seconds. One extra helping can be well over 100 calories.

10.  Eat a single patty burger instead of a two patty.

The benefits of this approach really add up when you combine it with a good exercise plan, like this No Nonsense Muscle Building review. What does it mean to cut 100 calories out of your diet plan, anyway? Well, 100 calories typically equates to about 10-20 minutes of activity. So if you skip that “snack pack” you’ve just saved yourself 15 minutes on the tread mill!

Get Trim Fast – The Right Way

You might be wondering how you’ll ever going to fit into that wedding dress or tryout for the sports team if you don’t get trim fast. The answer to your dilemma is really simple – discipline. There might be countless weight loss programs out there, but if you can’t stick to one program then you’ll never get trim fast. Here are some tips to make you slimmer in no time at all.

How do I know what food I should and shouldn’t eat?

While it is true that you need to eat in smaller amounts to get trim quickly, you also have to remember that watching out on the foods you eat is also of equal importance. Since our diet consists mainly of carbohydrates, you must take into consideration its source – is it a good or bad source? Examples of bad sources of carbohydrates are those foods that are sweetened like candy, pies, donuts, and white bread. It would be a great idea to substitute these foods with complex carbohydrates, like oatmeal. In brief, you should hold back on the sugar if you want to get trim fast.

You should keep in mind that not all calories in foods are the same. The calories that are found in French fries are not necessarily the same with the calories found in lean meat. The difference is that French fries are a bad source for your caloric needs – it makes you even fatter and contributes to countless health problems. The calories in lean meat, however, can be converted into energy by our bodies. That’s how important it is to distinguish the source of calories in foods that we eat – good choices will help you get trim quicker.

Also, drinking adequate amounts of water is a great way to make you slimmer. Sometimes, a simple case of thirstiness might be mistaken for hunger – all you really need is a glass of water. So, if you want to get trim fast, drinking a glass of water helps compensate the amount of food you take in at each meal. In this way, it’ll help in appetite suppression and get you that slimmer built that you always wanted.

A good technique to help you identify the proper amount of water you should drink is to divide your weight (pounds) by 2. For example, your weight is 200 pounds; by dividing this by 2 you’ll get an answer of 100. 100 is the number of ounces of water you should drink – about 12 glasses. Just remember to drink enough amounts of water to help you get trim in a hurry.

How much time should I allocate for exercising?

It is often advised that a person should at least spend 30 minutes of exercise every day. But, if you want to get trim fast, you should double the amount of time you spend to exercise. Some studies show that overweight people who spend as much as an hour each day for five days a week to exercise were able to attain (and maintain) a slimmer built by 10% of their body weights. But those people who spend less than the usual amount of time exercising found themselves having a rough time continuing to any measures of weight loss.

This tells you that a simple use of the stairs instead of the elevator or walking to a convenience store doesn’t entirely get you as trim as you want. Unless you really exert effort on activities that would make you sweat a lot, there would be greater chance to lose that extra weight. You really don’t need to go to the gym – jogging or brisk walking in your neighborhood would be sufficient to some people to get trim more quickly.

Should there be other things I need to know?

Sufficient amounts of sleep should be part of your weight loss regimen. Since lack of sleep could get you cranky and exhausted the entire day, there would be more tendencies for you to eat more. You need to establish a lifestyle that would accommodate enough sleeping hours; so that you’ll be energetic the next day. Before you know it, you’ll have that slimmer figure you always dreamt of.
