The Importance of Shape
2008-04-10 11:28:00
By David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.P., F.A.C.N.Chairman of the Herbalife Nutrition and Scientific Advisory Boards What is your shape?You may think you know when you look in the mirror, or you may be too busy trying to cover up unshapely areas to really see yourself as you are. Do you know how much fat you?re carrying, compared to how much muscle? Do you know where you tend to gain weight?upper body, lower body or around the middle? Until you know the answers to these questions, you are not ready to make your personal plan for losing weight and keeping it off. Understanding your body is the first step to reaching your best personal shape. As someone who teaches both doctors and the public about obesity, I believe weight loss has been overemphasized and body shape underemphasized. You have probably read about the Body-Mass Index (BMI), which is a weight-to-height ratio. If your BMI is greater than 25, you are considered overweight in the U.S. and if it is greater than 30 you are obese...

Are You Caught Up In A Cycle Of Fatness & Fitness Confusion?
2008-03-18 12:24:00
By Rob PoulosAs a member of a popular fitness center for a few years, I noticed countless others frustrated with their fat burning exercise routines and eating practices, working so hard and long but with virtually no improvement to show for it. Several of my own friends and relatives would mention this new program or product they had just shelled out cash for that was the answer to their fat loss or fitness goals. They were so excited about it and couldn?t wait to get started. Then, a few weeks later, the same happy-go-lucky people that were once jumping with joy about their new plan to burn fat and get a new body became downright discouraged. It was hard to watch. I?d ask them how their fat burning plan was working and they?d tell me that it seemed pretty good at first, but they didn?t get the results they were expecting or they felt were promised. They quickly became tired of following the daily workouts and found following the strict eating guidelines almost maddening at ti...

Weight Loss and Back Pain
2008-03-06 10:32:00
In society, we are surrounded by small, medium and large bone structures. The structure of the muscles and bones play a part in how the body is framed as it matures. Weight factors are considered by bone structure also. For instance, a medium-bone woman at the height of 5?2 can weigh up to 135 without being overweight. A larger bone structured woman can weigh a few pounds more without tipping the scale. Obesity however has taking over causing changes in feasting patterns and the meals we eat. The damning changes include the American FDA (Food and Drugs Administration), which permits harmful additive food products. We see obesity in our future at higher scales than ever in our history. Why do you think 12 and 14 years old children are running around with large buttocks and breasts? Ask the FDA about additives. The problem is these children take for granted the benefits, since down the road those buttocks and chest will balance with midriffs, thighs and so on. Now you can take those c...

Want Success Dieting? Plan to Fail
2008-01-28 16:21:00
There are so many different diets on the market today that it?s very difficult to know which diet to choose. Your friend told you that she found the perfect diet but when you tried it, it didn?t work. Your sister-in-law sung the praises of another diet but you found no success with it. Your co-worker told you about a ?fool-proof? diet that you somehow found a way to mess-up too. Well, don?t worry. There are millions of people who are in the same boat as you. They?ve tried diet after diet and they just can?t seem to stick to one or make any of them work. The result is feeling bad that they can?t succeed and probably eating even more to try to get rid of their sadness. In some cases, the people just completely give-up and decide they will never be able to lose weight because they can?t stay on a diet.Well, there?s good news. Diets do really work and there isn?t one person on this earth that can?t benefit from a diet. So what is the key to dieting success? Believe it or not, the key to...

Forget Calories and Hit Your Ideal Weight - part 2
2008-01-24 09:52:00
...continued from part 1Why should you eat more protein than your body is going to use? Because it throws the "metabolic switch" and changes the way your body decides to store and use the excess calories. You see, your body has choices. It can use that energy in a nearly infinite number of ways. It could, for example, decide to use extra calories for something like building bone or repairing damaged tissues. Doctors, nutritionists, and the media all miss this point. They still cling to the idea that your body always stores excess calories as fat. Surprisingly, this has rarely been considered in clinical research. Yet when studied, the results back me up. For instance, a study published in Obesity Research found that people could lose weight independent of calories consumed when the ratio of protein and carbohydrate changed. The trick is to change your metabolism. By throwing your metabolic switch, you can accomplish these two important goals of sustained fat loss:? Increase the calo...

Are Artificial Sweeteners the Answer?
2008-01-22 11:04:00
Many people believe that using artificial sweeteners in tea and coffee or drinking "diet" or "lite" drinks is a good way to cut down on calories and therefore lose weight. True you reduce your calories but the health risks may not be worth it. There are 15 calories in one level 4g teaspoon of sugar or 25 in one cube. Aspartame, a substance that can be found in artificial sweeteners, increases the risk of lymphoma cancer and leukaemia. It was originally discovered as a drug for ulcers, not a foodstuff. Another study also mentioned that the chemical actually damages DNA, increasing the risks of cancer and degenerative brain diseases in long-term use. It may help tumours to form which could lead to brain cancer. Aspartame causes an accumulation of formaldehyde in the brain which can damage your central nervous system and immune system. Sweet is one of the four basic food tastes and we associate sweet foods with comfort:"Eating sugar shoots our blood sugar levels up and triggers a spik...

Forget Calories and Hit Your Ideal Weight - part 1
2008-01-21 15:09:00
Kicking Off 2008 With ETR By Al Sears, MDMost nutritionists would have you believe that counting calories is the best way to lose fat. Here's their theory, in a nutshell: ? Calo ries in vs. calories out determines your weight. ? Consume more calories than you burn and the rest turns to fat. ? To lose weight, you either consume fewer calories or burn more with aerobic exercise. But have you ever noticed that the people who frantically count calories are forever overweight?Here's the problem: Your body is not a simple machine. It's a living, sentient system with its own "intelligence." It decides how to use the calories you consume. In fact, over the long run, what your body decides to do with calories appears to be more consequential than how many you consume.Of course, some people just eat way too much. But for people making a serious attempt to lose weight, excess calories is not their problem (although most are made to believe it is). Let me explain how I learned this from my pa...

Lose Weight Now with Hypnosis
2008-01-15 17:21:00
New year is upon us and resolutions are kicking in. One of the most common after the festive season is weight loss.Weight loss for some can be eternal. Why? Each new diet or new recycled diet offers the same. If you look at the word diet, the first 3 letters are DIE.Unfortunately all these diets work on the starvation principle of some sort and drastically reduced calories. Or by eating solid protein or living off a boring liquid diet. None of them address the relationship to food, which is a lifetime one.Diets slow down the metabolism. After 4 days the body shuts down and goes into starvation mode protecting the very calories you are trying to lose. Metabolism slows right down. When you start eating again the weight piles back on and with an almost wrecked metabolism the pounds pile back on.Anybody been there before?Dieticians and so-called experts do not tell you that the body likes and needs good old fat. It serves a useful propose, it supplies us with a foodstore in times of st...

Free List Of Negative Calorie Foods
2007-12-03 13:34:00
You will find a free list of negative calorie foods below, but first let's consider what this means. There is no such thing as a negative calorie - a calorie is a unit of heat and it cannot be negative. So when people talk about negative calorie foods, this just means a food whose calorie level is low enough that it takes more energy to eat and digest it than the food contains. For example, if you consider water to be a food, then cold water is certainly a negative calorie food. It contains no calories at all and the body has to expend energy to bring it up to blood temperature. So every time we drink a glass of cold water we burn up a couple of calories and lose a little weight. But there are very few foods like this. Most foods that are on the list do not really use more calories than they add, or if they do the effect is negligible ... until you remember that at the same time the body expends energy just to keep alive and breathing. Celery for example does not give us enough cal...

Weight Loss Mistake #7: People Rely On The Scale
2007-12-01 10:58:00
Anybody that is trying to lose weight most definitely has a scale in his or her home. Even though using a scale can be a great way to track your results, you do not want to rely on it day in and day out. If you want to use a scale, you need to know when you should decide to step up. Follow the four steps below so that you do not start worshiping your scale!1. Make sure that you have a scale that you can rely on. Many people think that just because they have a scale that it is accurate. But if you are using a scale that is out of date and not weighing you accurately, you will be thrown off from thebeginning. This will mess up your goals, as well as your weekly weigh ins. So before you get started on your quest to lose weight, make sure that you have a scale that you can trust.2. Do not weigh yourself everyday of the week! If you get into the habit of weighing yourself every morning when you get up you are only going to cause yourself more headaches. It is not uncommon to los...

Weight Loss Mistake #6: People Don't Set Goals
2007-11-30 17:54:00
Accomplishing a feat is always made easier if you set goals and losing weight is no exception to this rule. In fact, if you don't set goals while you are trying to lose weight you are only making things harder on yourself. By setting goals you will get to where you are going much more quickly.The best thing about setting goals is that you have something to work towards. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds and want to lose weight you should set a target goal. Your goal should not be to simply "lose weight," it should be something similar to losing 30 pounds over the next 10 months. This way you will be able to strive towards your goal, and plan on what you have to do to be successful.In addition to setting an end goal like the one that is detailed above, you should also set smaller goals that you can try to reach along the way. This may not seem important, but it will help to keep you motivated throughout the entire process. Playing off of the same example from above, you wil...

Weight Loss Mistake #5: I Don't Need To Diet
2007-11-29 17:25:00
One of the most common mistakes that people make when trying to lose weight is that they do not diet. Even though it is possible to lose a few pounds by simply exercising, you will not be able to get the results that you want unless you combine it with a good diet.If you overeat every day of the week, there is no chance that exercise is going to be able to overcome this. Even if you are on a very strict regimen that burns hundreds of calories, you will not be able to combat the calories that you are putting on by eating extra food. At best, you may be able to cancel out the extra calories that you are eating.Many people do not want to diet because they are under the impression that you cannot eat anything that tastes good. Diet ing often times gets confused with starving yourself and eating rice cakes morning, noon, and night. This may have beenthe case 20 years ago, but there are a lot of diets that are available today that can help you lose weight in no time at all. The key to...

Weight Loss Mistake #4: People Give Up Too Soon
2007-11-28 15:15:00
Many people who are trying to lose weight give up after the first week. The reason that they do this is because they feel that they did not see enough results for all of the work that they put in. It is important to remember that you are not goingto see instant results, but after a couple of months working towards your goals you will realize that you are indeed starting to lose weight.The way that most people try to lose weight is as follows. For the first two weeks they give everything they have to losing weight. This includes eating less and going to the gym more. They think that if they go strong for two weeks that by the time it is up they will be able to see big results. But after two weeks these people jump on the scale just to find out that they only lost a pound or two. They then take off their shirt and realize that there is no sick pack and that their arms are as flabby as they were before they started. And at this point the same thing always happens.

First off, you will want to weigh yourself in order to determine how much weight you want to lose.

Weight Loss By Hypnosis Can Be The Answer
2007-11-10 14:05:00
Weight loss by hypnosis can be the answer to many people's prayers, if done correctly. For those who have struggled with weight loss, jumping from one diet to the next, hypnosis may hold the key that will finally enable them to change their life. There are many misconceptions about hypnosis. This article will explain what hypnosis is and what it isn't and how it can help with weight loss.Hypnosis is not being put under another person's control. This myth has been made popular by stage shows. You will not cluck like a chicken or crawl around on your hands and knees when hypnotized. In reality, hypnosis is simply a natural state in which the subconscious mind can come forward and be modified to make a change in a person's habits.Overeating, smoking and other addictions are habits that have gone beyond conscious control. Therefore, tapping into the subconscious will help you gain control of these bad habits and stop them once and for all.An induction is defined as the act of bringi...

4 Tips to Avoiding Holiday Weight Gain
2007-11-08 13:52:00
The holiday party season is fast approaching and I know for many women, this time brings a sense of stress and worry. With events popping up nearly every week, it?s hard not to overindulge and put on a few pounds.But, take heart. There are simple things you can do to help prevent holiday weight gain, and maybe even take off a few pounds.1. Be aware of ?false fat.? False fat is a term I use to describe the accumulation of excess fluids, which we experience as bloating and swelling. Most often, it comes from allergic reactions to certain foods.When the body detects an allergen, it releases histamines and other chemicals to the affected areas, which swell up in response. As we age, our production of digestive enzymes diminishes, creating a greater chance of developing allergic reactions to foods. The two most common food allergens are wheat and dairy.Wheat contains a protein called gluten, which is difficult for the body to break down, absorb, and assimilate. Women with wheat intolera...

Three Weight Loss Tips
2007-11-06 11:12:00
Q: How does protein help someone lose fat-tissue instead of lean tissue?A: By eating enough protein to maintain your lean tissue while losing fat, you keep your metabolism revved up. Every pound of lean tissue burns 14 calories per day compared to only about three calories burned for each pound of fat per day. So keeping the lean and losing-the-fat helps you burn more calories at rest. This is also called the resting metabolic rate or metabolism for short.Q: How does metabolism influence weight gain/loss?A: Whenever you eat more calories than you burn through exercise and through your metabolism at rest, you will store the extra as fat. So having a higher metabolism can help you maintain your weight by balancing calories in and calories out. Exercises that strengthen your muscles improve your ability to burn calories at rest.Q: What are the benefits of plant-based protein, or soy?A: Soy protein naturally has a different composition than animal proteins that makes it healthier for yo...

Treating Bulimia with Hypnosis
2007-10-23 17:03:00
Like Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa is an eating disorder which typically affects teenage girls and young women. From an obsession with weight and body image, they develop a pattern of eating, often binging, then ridding the body of the food by vomiting, taking laxatives, enemas, fasting or excessive exercise. A tell-tale sign is someone who always goes to the lavatory straight after eating, particularly if they have eaten foods high in fats and sugars. They satisfy their taste buds with 'comfort food' but then the emotion that follows pushes the person to purge, guilt and self-loathing. They might run a tap to hide the sound of vomiting and eat mints to hide the smell of vomit.As in many disorders when affect young people, the question of control is often prevalent. They may feel they have no control in all or some areas of their lives. The parents may be overbearing, pushy or unable to show their love. The person is able to demonstrate control over eating. Coupled with th...

3 Habits That are Making You Fat - Without You Even Knowing
2007-09-12 17:21:00
You wouldn't expect these habits to make you fat - but they do.1. Staying Up LateThe opposite would seem to make sense: If you stay up late, you burn more calories. Burn more calories, burn more fat.Right?Unfortunately, staying up late can set off a multi-pronged attack on your body composition.First, sleep is vital for recovery. If you don't get enough sleep, your body won't build as much muscle mass - no matter how much time you spend in the gym. Less muscle mass = less fat burning power.Next, if you are sleep-deprived, you increase levels of the stress hormone "cortisol." The connection between stress/cortisol and obesity is well established, but it gets worse. A recent study (Epel, Yale) shows that cortisol related fat storage tends to be around the vital organs - the worst possible place to store fat in your body.If that's not enough, lack of sleep is linked with glucose intolerance (diabetes), lower Growth Hormone levels, a weakened immune system, low energy, and more ...G...

Dr Oz on Weight Loss
2007-09-11 19:40:00
On an Oprah Winfrey Show recently, Dr. Oz was talking about weight loss and calorie reduction. He said something really interesting.He said one of the keys is not to focus on reducing your calories and moving away from say 500 to 100 calories for a food item, but to simply focus each day on moving toward eating foods of only 100 calories. This would over time move you forward to the weight you want to be as opposed to moving away from the weight you presently might be.Think about the thinking behind this. The first thought is about moving away from something and the other thought is about moving toward.Instead of looking at what you need to remove, you simply focus on progressive daily steps that will help you reach your end goal.

Atkins Diet

As of now, January 2005, more than half of all north Americans are struggling with obesity. The ?quick fix? for ?fat? for the last 40+ years, becoming ever more popular, has become the Atkins Diet . The Atkins Diet was first popularized in the U.S. Air Force during the 1960?s.The Atkins Diet is very simple ? restrict your carbohydrate intake. And guess what? It actually works. But Dr. Atkins, after the initial few years of his popularized diet, began to make modifications and refinements to the original basic diet. And several other people have taken the basic Atkins Diet, modified it just a little, and come up with a new and very workable diet.The first thing you must understand is that, across the entire human spectrum, each of us is very different from one another in the chemical makeup of our body. Thus, each of us, individually, should have our own highly personalized, custom built diet, created by a dietician using a chemical makeup assessment, usually a $200 hair analysis, of ...
