DANGERS OF LOSING WEIGHT FAST  by

 Garen Arnold 		9/22/2008 at 14:35
We are bombarded from the media with new quick weight loss solutions. Somewhere in the back of your mind you know it probably is not healthy, but you would really like to be slim in a hurry for an upcoming event. Diet marketing can be quite convincing, but losing weight fast can be dangerous.

When you are losing weight fast, almost all the weight that you will lose will be water weight. This weight will rapidly reappear when you resume your normal diet. If you are determined to lose five pounds by next weekend, drink a lot of water. Water will keep you hydrated, helps flush out your body waste and actually helps to metabolize fat. If you do not drink enough water you can become dehydrated and that can lead to a host of other problems. You could end up in the emergency room next weekend instead of at your event.

When you are losing weight to fast your body rebels and puts up defenses. Losing weight fast can compromise your immune system. This leaves you more susceptible to contracting an illness.

Your new solution to losing weight fast is not a safe practice. The ways in which people diet are dangerous. Some people fast, simply do not eat at all to lose weight fast. Other people may use diet pills, which are not safe either. Many of them have ephedrine in them and caffeine. This can raise your heart rate, may make feel jittery and irritable. Some of these diet pills ...

7 TIPS TO GOOD HEALTHY DIET PLAN ANYONE CAN FOLLOW!  by

 Ivonna Boss 		9/22/2008 at 14:35
Losing weight is not an easy task. You need a motivation, goal and a good healthy diet plan. So here I will explain what you can do, in order to lose weight. It is not that hard as long as you are disciplined!

1. Understand how diet works!

Many people are so eager to lose weight that they don’t follow some logic steps when it comes to the weight loss. The goal is to eat certain amount of calories, and burn that same amount and few extras. That is how weight loss works! Having said this, food is your energy, so you cannot function without the food, but than again, the food is not a problem, but rather the what kind of a food you eat. The food choice is the essential in the healthy diet plan.

2. Keeping Journal of Your Food Intake

Many people just simply over eat. Make a list of things you are going to eat tomorrow. Get an estimate of calories and divide the food in 6 meals! Yeah, you heard me right, you need to eat 6 meals a day and that kind of diet plan is by far the good healthy diet plan.

3. Eat 6 Meals a Day

Let me explain why 6 meals a day. First, it is easier to control the portions of the food. You also need to eat enough to fill satisfied but not full. In addition, eating more frequently will get you to speed up metabolism and you will not be ...

WHY STRICT DIETS ARE NOT GOOD FOR LOSING WEIGHT AFTER PREGNANCY  by

 Ivonna Boss 		9/22/2008 at 14:34
Many women because of mere desperation decide to start with a strict diet after pregnancy, they are convinced that the strict diets are good for losing weight after pregnancy. This is not true. If you decide to do this you need to be aware that it will have some sever consequences upon your health. And just as an FYI, you need to make sure you don’t diet at all while you are breastfeeding, you can only start after words.

As a side note: The other thing that you need to keep in mind is that your diet will directly effect your baby. When you are breastfeeding, you have an unbreakable bond with your baby. Whatever you eat, affects your baby’s health. Therefore, when you are depriving yourself on some serious vitamins you are actually doing the same thing to your baby. Moreover, maybe your organism is strong and old enough to fight on its own, but your baby’s health is extremely fragile and still depended on you to protect it.

After giving birth your body will feel exhausted simply because it is. You will need plenty of rest to regain the energy that you need. In order to achieve this, your body will need food, since it is the only source of energy. Usually these strict diets include a kind of starvation mode, or they simply exclude on certain type of food. None of these options will have positive effects on your worn out body.

You cannot afford to go starving right then ...

HOW DOES CALORIE SHIFTING WORK?  by

 Vitaliy Gershfeld 		3/12/2008 at 08:03
How does calorie shifting work? Well to put it shortly, calorie shifting triggers a reflex in your body that makes it increase metabolism and fat burning, causing rapid weight loss. Generally a person who performs a calorie shifting diet can lose 10 or more pounds in less than 2 weeks, without exercising, without counting calories and without depriving themselves of anything.

But how does it actually trigger that reflex in your body causing weight loss? Well the basis of calorie shifting revolves around the fact that your body burns fat and keeps metabolism at a certain level based on your eating habits. Eating in a certain way for a certain period of time makes the body burn a specific amount of calories. This is sort of a routine that the body is used to and is comfortable with.

However calorie shifting tricks your body and keeps it guessing as to how many calories to burn each time you. This is done by eating several meals a day, in different orders and in different calorie values. This confusion causes the body to naturally be caught off guard and because it is being bombarded with meals that have different calorie values and the body doesn’t know how many calories to burn the next time you eat, it starts burning more and raises metabolism.

This is what causes the weight loss to occur and the reason why calorie shifting is one of the most powerful and flexible diets in the world. You are allowed to eat ...

INSIDE LOOK INTO THE CALORIE SHIFTING GUIDE  by

 Vitaliy Gershfeld 		3/12/2008 at 08:01
Calorie shifting has become a very popular form of dieting. What makes it so popular is it’s unique approach to dieting. Instead of following conventional dieting standards, you go against them all and are allowed to eat most of your favorite foods. What’s even more surprising and ironic is calorie’s shifting’s weight loss effect is much faster than any dieting methods out there. This article gives you an inside look into the calorie shifting guide, and how it’s done.

Calorie shifting is performed by eating 4 or more meals a day, shifting the order in which you eat them, making sure every meal has different calorie values and drinking 10 glasses of water a day. Now that’s may seem like a lot of work, but it’s rather easy once you try it. With calorie shifting it isn’t exactly what you eat, but it’s how you perform the technique which counts.

Using the above example of calorie shifting, you can start seeing results within the first day, depending on how well you do it. The shifting of meals and their calorie values is the most important aspect of this diet. Most calorie shifting guides neglect to mention this and go about explaining the theory of the technique and not how it’s done.

By eating in this mixed order day after day, you confuse your body’s expectations and how many calories to burn. Before people try calorie shifting, most of them eat in a routine and the body adjusts to this routine. But with calorie ...

DO YOU KNOW THESE WELL-KNOWN DIETING PLANS?  by

 Antony Lee 		3/12/2008 at 08:00
There are really a lot of diets. It will be impossible for us to try all of them. However, you do not need to be depressed if you want to lose some weight. There are some more well-known diets which you may try. And this article will focus on these diets.

Atkins Diet

You may have already heard of Atkins diet since a lot of people have already talked about it. There are thousands of articles on this diet and you can easily find a few of them from the search engine. One of the reasons why people are in favor of this diet is that you can eat food which is rich in fat. However, you can probably guess that it may lead to the problem of heart attack. More researches will be need in order to have a solid scientific background for this diet.

Zone Diet

This is also a well-know dieting plan. The idea is to reach a balance of hormone level. And the way to do that is to eat the right mix of foods. This state of balance, which is called the ’Zone’, lets the body take in calories and use them through the day without putting anything aside as fat. However, the problem of this plan is that it will not allow some kind of food without any solid scientific reasons. For example, it will not allow you to take starchy vegetables.

Jenny Craig Diet

The diet is named after the one who started it - Jenny Craig. The basic ...

DIETS THAT WORK - NOT JUST A FANTASY  by

 Rob Jacobs 		3/9/2008 at 07:52
With all the controversy and suspicion out there in the weight loss industry, the first thing that comes to mind for anyone dieting is: "which are the diets that work?" The good news is, there’s actually a proper course of action for finding the diets that work out there. As always, no matter what kind of nutrition regimen you decide to devote yourself to, for diets that work, you’re going to want to keep an overall active, rather than sedentary lifestyle, make sure the food you are taking in is healthy, (no silly fried food and chocolate cake diets), and play some sort of sport or regular physical activity that requires some level of exertion. A lot of people aren’t into sports of any kind, which is fine, that’s what gyms are for. So taking on those three simple lifestyle changes will get you well on your way to finding diets that work. One of the biggest mistakes people make, bad diet or not, is thinking they can "cheat" instead of being faithful to their diet. The body will notice that extra candy bar or piece of cake.

Diets that work, in particular, are the ones derived of more natural components. And I’m not talking about ritzy, upscale organic foods stores. You can get your hands on a good natural diet without cleaning out your bank account. There are natural diets that work, and most only require cheap, normal ingredients you’d find at any grocery store.

What to expect? Any diet that ...

If you want to lose weight, you may try to be on diet. In fact, there are a lot of dieting plans available out there. Without any surprise, every dieting plan will have its strength and weakness. To this end, you will want to know which diet is the best. You certainly would like to know exactly what kind of food you should eat less.

Most people who care about their weight would like to search for a diet that can make them thin in no time at all. It will be perfect if there are some magic pills that can take away all the fat. It will be even better if the tablets can prevent the fat from returning to our bodies. In fact, it is also very important for people who are on diet to know how to make sure that all the weight lost through dieting stays lost through the years. However, the sad fact is that there is no such magical tablet in this world. You will need to have the determination if you would like to lose some weight.

As you will be well aware, various diets are being published on the internet everyday. There are also plenty of tips you can find in magazines. In the past, you may only find these tips in some magazines on fitness. However, you can find these tips even from newspaper. This may make you feel confused.

FAT BURNING DIETS - THE FACTS  by

 Daniel Depp 		3/9/2008 at 07:50
There are a plethora of so called fat burning diets out there on the market. It can sometimes be confusing as to which ones are actually healthy and which are not. The goal of this article is to discuss some of the popular recent dieting trends and help you to understand the facts concerning these fat burning diets.

Lets start out with the infamous;

The Atkins Diet

This diet supposedly works by cutting out carbohydrates, food like bread, rice and potatoes. Our bodies use carbohydrate as its primary energy source, when these are cut out, the body must use fat and protein instead. On the face of it this might seem like a good idea, the problem is the metabolic processes involved in using fat for energy instead of carbohydrates can lead to various health difficulties such as kidney problems, gout and headaches due to increased uric acid and ketone’s. On this type of diet there can be low amounts of dietary fiber which leads to constipation and chronic bowel disease. There is also a common held belief amongst experts that the high amounts of animal fat eaten on the Atkins diet has a negative effect on cholesterol levels which over time can lead to heart disease. Having said all that, this type of low carbohydrate diet can be very effective in helping you to lose fat quickly, the key is to use it in moderation and not as a lifestyle diet.

The next of our fat burning diets is;

THE TRUTH ABOUT DIET MYTHS  by

 Antony Lee 		3/9/2008 at 07:49
Most people would like to have a perfect body shape nowadays. They will try various methods to keep fit. In order to lose weight, dieting is probably one of the most popular ways. In fact, there are a lot of myths about dieting. Is banning sugar from our diets appropriate? Is it really necessary for us not to touch fact and alcohol?

As a matter of fact, the basic idea of any diet is to eat food that contains fewer calories than your body needs to maintain its current weight. When you do this, you are forcing your body to use the fat accumulated in order to keep you alive. Of course the diet has to be a balance one even if in this case.

Besides, you should never try to rely on meal replacements such as Mypoplex, Slimfast or Eat-Smart. They cannot be treated as substitutes for real food. Another piece of fact is that calories are important for our internal organs to function properly. We cannot live without calories. As a result, we cannot cut all the calories and rely on the meal replacements.

Some people will try to stay away from foods such as potatoes and bread. They do this because they think that this kind of food is the source carbohydrates and they are only obstacles in weight loss programs. However, the fact is that such kind of food can be good for you because they will make you feel full after having them. And on the other hand ...

THE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF HOODIA  by

 Wouter Van Dyck 		9/21/2007 at 23:29
Suffering the problem of being overweight? Or really struggling to shred a few extra pounds off? Millions of people imagine that swift and long lasting weight reduction is beyond their reach. Weight reduction of 1-2 lb a week and most of the people are content with the achieved outcome.

This is very unfortunate and unsettling. Because there is easy and simple way to lose weight without struggling, the Hoodia hunger suppresser. It is a plant based completely natural subtract. It is found in the southern regions of Africa and a member of the cactus plant family. But actually what are the factual ways to achieve a "turbo speed" weight loss? How can a person contain his or her natural appetite? Basically, it provides the users with easy and flexible dietary regimes. Usually, it is overeating that makes people become overweight. If you leave this product or any hunger suppresser and go back to high calorie, or any diet, then eventually you will gain the extra pounds you lost.

By adopting Hoodia products, you will experience a significant weight reduction in minimum period of time. There are other weight loss products are available in the market. Unlike this one, you will quit them at some point because of frustrating slow progress and complicated methods. But, this gordonii product will not let you down.

Traditional weight reduction regimes center around low calories and high carbs. For example we can cite Weight Watchers. Some regimes like Atkins and Jenny Craig focus on medium carbs and calories. ...

IS A LOW CARB VEGETARIAN DIET POSSIBLE?  by

 Shannon Tani 		9/21/2007 at 23:27
Low carbohydrate diets are all the rage these days. They promise quick weight loss while "eating all the food you want". But is a low carb vegetarian diet possible?

What is a low carb diet?

A low carb diet is a style of eating where carbohydrate intake is severely restricted. Proteins and, to some extent, fats are unlimited. Experts say that when your body is deprived of carbohydrates, it will begin to burn fat for its energy, putting your body into ketosis.

The Atkins Diet is probably the most famous low carb diet, but there are others as well--Protein Power, The Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet, and Stillman’s Diet, among others.

Usually, the first two weeks of a low carb diet have a very restricted level of carbs. On Atkins, this is called the "induction phase". Even many vegetables are forbidden. After the induction phase, healthy carbs, such as fruits and whole grains, can be reintroduced slowly.

Because you don’t want to eat carbohydrates on a low carb diet, the primary source of food is meat.

What are vegetarian low carb food sources?

Low carb vegetarian foods include eggs, tofu, cheeses (including soft cheeses like cream cheese and cottage cheese), protein powder/shakes, and nuts. Some fake-meat products may also be low carb, but check the label to be sure, as they often have high carb ingredients.

Unfortunately, almost all of these food sources, unlike meat, do contain some carbs. In fact, many of the foods on the vegetarian list are thought to stall the weight loss progress of a traditional ...

LOW CARB DIET TIPS - 5 WAYS A SUGAR ADDICTION RUINS HEALTH  by

 Cliff Smith 		9/21/2007 at 23:26
Whether you are on a low carb diet or not, sugar is damaging to the body in many ways. The following is just a partial list of some of sugar’s consequences from a variety of medical journals and other scientific publications. To find out more about why sugar is an addiction and how it upsets your whole body chemistry, read "Lick The Sugar Habit" by Nancy Appleton, PhD. The research in her book contributed to this article.

1. Sugar can suppress the immune system.

This is probably the most important reason to avoid sugar, whether you are trying to stick to a low carb diet or not. The information here comes from two different research projects that have been done at Loma Linda University. The research evaluated the effects of sugar on phagocytes, the white blood cells of the immune system that eat up bad bacteria and foreign invaders. To put it simply, the more bacteria consumed by the phagocytes, the stronger the immune system, and the less chance for disease. One of the Loma Linda studies showed that sugar caused the phagocytic index to drop dramatically which had a negative effect on the amount of debris that could be removed by the immune system.

2. Sugar can upset the body’s mineral balance.

Minerals such as calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, iron and zinc are crucial to bodily functions. If there is a shortage of just one of these minerals, the entire system can be thrown out of balance. With just two teaspoons of sugar, micronutrients ...
