The South-Beach Diet? Huh! Why Not Relax Yourself Slimmer?
2008-05-12 06:19:00
There are so many different types of diets out there including calorie controlled diets, carbohydrate controlled diets and I have also heard of one called the cabbage soup diet. There are clubs that you can go along to and get group therapy, weekly weigh-ins and they have whole support networks.Most women?s magazines seem to concentrate almost fixatedly on this particular issue. We are certainly a nation becoming obsessed with the way we look and how much we weigh. This is not such a bad thing, however when we look at government reports, the situation is only seeming to get worse. The question that we need to ask is that, is the dieting industry really as effective as it says it is.The other problem is that people are so confused with the diets out there. A lot of these diets have become controversial. There have been loads of articles in the newspapers alleging negative side-effects, with even scientist?s condemning there use. Its no wonder that most people get confused about the s...

Does Your Weight Loss Plan Cause Food Cravings?
2008-05-10 01:18:00
For your weight loss plan to be a weight loss success, it?s absolutely critical that you understand the difference between weight loss fad diets and safe, effective weight loss routines that produce long-lasting weight loss results.There are all sorts of weight loss programs out there that can help you lose weight (not necessarily fat), but they are so miserable that it's impossible to stay on them very long - even more difficult is keeping the weight loss results you achieved.The four characteristics for successful weight loss are:1. The weight loss plan must avoid cravings2. The weight loss plan must avoid hunger3. The weight loss plan must include increasing your activity level4. It must be a weight loss plan you can live with for a lifetimeWhat are cravings? A craving is when your body pushes you to want a particular food ingredient. This can occur even when you are not hungry. When you finally give in and get the food, you almost always binge, that is, eat more than you would ...

Which Weight Loss Program Is Right For You?
2008-05-10 01:17:00
Your body weight is really controlled by the number of calories you eat and the number of calories you use each day through things like exercise and physical activity. This means that to lose weight, you actually need to take in fewer calories each day than you use so that there is deficit in calories consumed. There are two ways to do this - by becoming more physically active or by eating less each day. Following a weight loss program that helps you to become more physically active and also decrease the amount of calories that you eat, is the best way to achieve successful weight loss.To lose weight and keep it off, you should be aware of the different types of programs that are available. You should also look at what makes up a good program. Knowing this information can help you select a weight loss program that will really work. The four types of weight loss programs include:Do-It-Yourself Program s1. Any effort to lose weight by yourself or with a support group either on or offli...

Carb Cycling:The Smart Alternative To Low Carb Diets
2008-05-10 01:16:00
As a sports medicine nutritionist, I am concerned about the lack of awareness and confusion people have over the best way to lose weight. In the 1990?s, we were erroneously told that all fat was bad for us. Now, carbs are being blamed for America?s increasing waistline. Even some athletes have fallen into the low-carb trap. I urge you not to make this same mistake. If you want to lose weight, build muscle, have tons of energy, and even improve your skin and sex drive ? you need to eat carbs. It?s true ? carbs are good for you! You just need to know when and how to eat them.First, let?s dispel some myths about low carb diets like the Atkins diet. It is estimated that nearly 60 million Americans have tried to avoid carbohydrate-rich foods, such as bread, pasta and cereal. Even Burger King is cashing in on this trend by selling a bunless burger! Still, the average person?s weight in this country continues to increase.What is going wrong? Low-carb diets do not work long-term because the...

"DNA Diets" : Junk Science?
2008-05-10 01:15:00
Copyright 2006 Danna SchneiderDieting and weight loss products and programs are such a big budget, big profit business today. We've all heard dozens of sales pitches for diet and weight loss products, plans, books, and other items that will supposedly help us miraculously lose that extra weight we've gained with the least amount of effort possible.Each of these programs, books and products also usually tout themselves as being based "unique" and strongly backed science and technology.These hyped diet aids range anywhere from diet supplements that claim to burn fat and/or blast calories away, help to suppress the appetite, or even help to block carbs and fat from even entering the blood stream and being stored as fat or extra weight. But how do we as consumers really know that any of this will actually work?One of these so called scientifically based diet fads, which costs a fairly lofty sum of money, called the DNA Diet, has recently been in the news for allegedly preying on custo...

Low Carbohydrate Diets
2008-05-10 01:15:00
Copyright 2006 Donovan BaldwinAny diet program is going to have its fans and its detractors. Also, many diet plans may have good points and bad points, and the low carbohydrate diet is no exception.WHAT IS A LOW CARBOHYDRATE DIET?First of all, you are going to hear a lot of things called "low carbohydrate", the most famous of which is the Atkins diet. Other programs which do not claim to be low carb, such as the Nutrisystem weight loss program, and the South Beach diet may find themselves dumped into the "low carb" category because their eating plans either control carb intake or concentrate on "good" carbs...that is, carbohydrates that in essence not only fuel the body, thus providing energy, but which also are less likely to wind up as fat deposits in the body.As a rule, and as their name implies, low carbohydrate diets generally recommend a higher consumption of protein and fat, with decreases in consumption of carbohydrates. Again, as a rule, these eating plans are going to reco...

A Practical Approach To Healthy Eating
2008-05-08 04:25:00
You will never be healthy, eating healthy foods occasionally. You have to make healthy eating a habit if you want to obtain nutritional health.I have been doing push-ups five days a week for over 25 years. My arms are pretty strong but it did not happen overnight. I did not do push-ups for a couple weeks or months and then stopped. I had to make push-ups a habit if I wanted to continuously get the results I have. Exactly the same holds true with having a healthy diet.People jump on the "band wagon" of healthy eating when they read books or view web sites that talk about nutrition. While many of these books and web sites tell you what you should eat in-order to be healthy, they fail to teach you how to make healthy eating a habit. Thus in a short period of time when temptations come, people fall right back into their unhealthy eating habits.What is a Habit? According to Webster's dictionary a habit is "a behavior pattern acquired by frequent repetition or physiologic exposure that s...

How To Diet
2008-05-08 04:24:00
The secret of how to diet isn?t a complicated process. Many people have forgotten that cutting calories means losing weight. Now, you can do this without being hungry!Wouldn?t it be great if life came with a ?How To? manual? Some people think the same is true of dieting. With so many fad diets on the market and so many rules to follow, many people wonder how to diet and lose weight properly.It can become confusing and overwhelming for a dieter. While some diets praise the virtues of low fat pasta, other diets may view that same pasta as something kin to poison. Carbohydrates are terrible, right? One diet may say to dine on a baked potato rather with fat-free margarine while the other diet says you?d be better off eating a steak. One diet views a turkey sandwich as a healthy choice while the other diet says bread is off limits. It?s understandable why people become confused on how to diet.When it comes to knowing how to diet, the best strategy is the easiest one. Regardless of all th...

Using Phentermine For Obesity
2008-05-08 04:22:00
Phentermine is a drug used to suppress your appetite so this is given widely to patients who suffer from obesity as doctors and likes think it will help, but in truth there are more disadvantages to these types of methods of weight loss. Phentermine is a drug so therefore it will of course have side effects, all drugs do and one of the things you have to be careful about when you are on any kind of drug is that you do not become dependant on it. Being on this type drug and for a long time is not good for you I?m about to tell you why!Phentermine was usually prescribed as Fen-phen, which is a combination of fenfluramine and Phentermine; although that combination is no longer used Phentermine is still prescribed.The side effects of Phentermine include nervousness, irritability, sweating, nausea, headache, dry mouth, constipation, sleep problems and more importantly addiction.

Obesity In America Today
2008-05-08 04:21:00
The America ns tend to lead a fast-paced lifestyle so convenience foods and takeaways always seem like the best option. Its not. Obesity in America has risen more than anywhere else in the world but not only with adults, children are also suffering the same fate! If obesity is not tackled then all around the world will suffer, not just America.Some people in America suffer obesity through medical problems which is not fault of their own and cannot be helped but others are just far to lazy and eat far to much. Americans are taking the lead in obesity and no one seems to be doing anything about it except the medical research teams and endocrinologists who are trying to find ways to battle the bulge. With out the help of professionals it will be very hard for any obese person to loose weight, and they definitely need the support of their friends and family.In 2004, the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ranked obesity as the number one health threat facing America and...

Getting Obesity Help
2008-05-08 04:20:00
Obesity help can come in many shapes and sizes. Family embers and friends can lodge their support by dieting with you or helping you to diet alone. Doctors can help by referring you to a nutritionist and prescribing you some appetite suppressants (also known as diet pills, be wary of them). Nutritionists will help you by coming up with a diet plan which you abide by and then concentrating on an exercise routine when you can manage one.Another new way to help people suffering from obesity is to perform surgical procedures such as extensive gastric bypass; where portions of the stomach are removed, gastric banding; placing what seems like an elastic band around your stomach, panniculectomy; removing pieces of stomach (also known as a tummy tuck). These are just some of the procedures available and are only for use in drastic times. Many people can loose weight without these operations and therefore do not need to put themselves through a lot of pain which is consistent with each of th...

Morbid Obesity Details
2008-05-08 04:18:00
Misbehaviour is bad but there is always a step worse isn?t there? Bland food is bad but again there is always a taste worse? So why should obesity be any different. There is obesity and then there is morbid obesity. Obesity is classed when you have a BMI (Body mass index) of 30, when you have a BMI of 40 then you are classed as an urgent morbidity risk; morbid obesity!Morbid obesity is a lot more serious than obesity although that itself is highly dangerous to your body?s health. Morbid obesity is when you are the stage where there is so much fat that your fat is starting to damage internal organs. In most cases weight gain is hereditary so once the problem is started there is very little plain will power can do about it and when you get to the morbidly obese stage then serious actions need to be taken!Taking action against morbid obesity needs to happen straight away, if not the implications could be fatal. You could always go on another diet but the results when you are morbidly o...

Weight Loss And Diet ? How To Go About It
2008-05-08 04:17:00
Eat less fat, that?s the master key to have control on your weight. You have heard this a thousand times from all your well wishers. But it might be a fistful of those who have actually helped you out with the right diet for checking your weight.Even you are aware that weight loss and diet go hand in hand. But this universal truth should be framed out tactfully in every particular case and then can you see a successful change in your story of weight and shaking it off.Fat does carry excess calories that must be burnt and nullified to reduce the chances of its accumulation in your body. But at the same time it is this fat, an essential source of energy to keep your body active. What?s important is basically an awareness of calories present in the fat food in facts and figures. A general comparative study has shown that fatty substances carry 9 calories per gram in respect to proteins which is just 4 calories per gram. Similar is in case of the carbohydrates.Just by cutting out fatty ...

Hydrotherapy: Basic Facts

If you are anything like me and most of the adult American population, then you can hardly make it a day without hearing something new about a good food, a food to avoid, a magic exercise or the perfect fat burner. It seems that the search for the best bodies for the least work possible is on with full speed.As a personal fitness trainer I am more than a little bit concerned about this "get fit quick and painless" mentality I meet in so many American adults. I guess it makes sense in a way when we see how fast every other aspect of our society has become. So it partially makes sense that we want everything about our health to be fast too. It makes sense that we want to find the perfect fat burner without making any changes to our diet and fitness routines.Let me assure you, however, that the right fat burner is not a piece of magic or a pill that can be popped. The right fat burner is a combination of four main elements. The first element to any true fat burner program is a good amo...

Eat Your Carbs, They're Good For You!
2008-05-07 05:43:00
You may think after all of the talk lately about carb reduction that you need to avoid eating carbohydrates. But the exact opposite is the case. The kinds of carbohydrates you get from fruits and vegetables are a necessary basis of your daily diet. Instead of helping you ?pack on the pounds,? they actually help you to burn fat. They are also a major source of fuel for your body, especially your muscles, brain and nervous system.Carbs occur in two types: simple and complex. They are broken down into glucose, or blood sugar, which is metabolized by your body for energy. Glucose not immediately used by you is stored in your muscles as glycogen, but if your body has an excess of glycogen, it is converted into fat. However, because carbs prime your metabolism, you need them in order to burn fat. This is one of the major reasons you must not starve yourself and eat too few carbs. You must eat a good intake of complex carbs, such as those found in fruits and veggies.Simple carbs, such as t...

Weight Gain In Adulthood - Slowing It Down
2008-05-07 05:41:00
The biggest problem we face in America today is not terrorism ? it is obesity. This is according to Dr. Julie Gerberding, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in America. And it seems much of this problem is happening in a slow and creeping way, through gradual young and middle-aged adult weight gain, over very long periods of time.On the average, a typical American adult gains at least two pounds per year over his or her lifetime. That probably means that approximately 100 extra calories are being consumed each day, according to Dr. James Hill of the University of Colorado?s nutrition center. If you simply burn off those 100 extra calories, or don?t consume them to begin with, you will then not gain that yearly extra weight.Dr. Gerberding says that fixing the problem will involve changing most Americans? daily social norms. This will have to start in our early childhood, she says. People will have to begin performing more physical activity and eating less every da...

Disturbing New Study About Obesity And Weight Loss

Study Shows Some Americans Would Choose Divorce, Depression and Alcoholism Over Obesity May 23, 2006 -- What would you be willing to sacrifice if it ensured you would never be fat?Would you give up a year of your life? Or 10 years?Would you rather be divorced, unable to have children, depressed, alcoholic?A disturbing new study out of Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity found that nearly half -- 46 percent -- of 4,283 participants would rather give up a year of their life than be obese. Fifteen percent were willing to give up 10 years.In fact, a surprisingly large number of participants were willing to make extreme sacrifices if they could be sure they would never be obese.These are hypothetical questions, of course, and the answers are not set in stone. Obesity is a killer, so some participants probably figured that they were going to die earlier anyway if they were obese, but what surprised the researchers was the number of people who were willing to make ext...

Health Benefits Of Massage Recliners

After a long hard day at the office wouldn?t it be nice to get a massage. Unfortunately you have to first find a certified or licensed massage therapist. If you?re lucky and happen to know someone or have a regular therapist you work with, you still have to schedule an appointment. After you call and set the time you?ll have to get back into your car and drive to therapist?s office.In today?s world most of us want instant gratification and have limited time in our hectic life. If money was no object most of us would get a massage every week, or possibly two or three times a week.Let me pause here for a moment. It is very ironic that I would be writing an article about massage recliners because I am a certified massage therapist. As a therapist my first goal is to help the client get healthy. Sometimes I refer a client to a chiropractor or to an acupuncturist that can better serve the clients needs. The same is true about massage recliners. With new technology massage recliners have ...

Simple Rules For Personal Health And Hygiene
2008-05-05 03:40:00
Have you been following a plan for your own personal hygiene, or do you get up in the morning, take a bath, brush and blow dry your hair, use the bathroom through the day, and go to bed at night? If you only do the latter, you need to put more planning and preparation into your personal care and grooming.Cleanliness is seen nowadays as next to Godliness, and neglect of your own personal hygiene may cause health and social problems of which you are not even aware. Bad breath, for example, is a common problem--the perpetrator is often accused of it, but he or she may not be attending to it. Problems such as dandruff are forgivable, but good looks are usually the result of great care and attention paid to personal grooming. You should put some time and effort into it if you want to feel and look your best every day.All external parts of the body need time and attention. Below is a partial list of the body parts which you should be taking care of with your grooming plan. Here are some t...

How Much Protein Should You Eat?
2008-05-05 03:39:00
Don?t sacrifice your carbohydrates for a high protein diet, and think twice before ?bulking up? those biceps with protein to look better at the gym. Your daily diet shouldn?t contain more than 30% protein ideally, because an excess of it will do you more harm than good. So says Gail Butterfield, Ph.D., director of Nutrition Studies at the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Medical Center.Dr. Butterfield says that excess protein in your diet may have harmful effects. If you increase protein without adding more calories and exercise to your daily life, instead of building muscle mass you will put your other body systems under undue stress. And eating more protein while increasing calorie intake -- but keeping at the same exercise levels -- builds an equal amount of additional fat and muscle. Meanwhile, a diet where protein is more than 30% of your calorie intake causes a buildup of toxic ketones. A ?ketogenic? diet, or one high in ketones, pushes your kidneys to excessively flush thems...

Is The Sonoma Diet Plan Right For You

Now that the low carb diet craze has started to fizzle out many are looking for a diet plan that is more compatible with their lifestyle. One of the most common complaints of people who are following diets is the bland taste of approved foods.

These foods include a select group of fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains. These foods are not only good for you but taste great, and according to the diet plans creator they give you a lot nutritional value per calorie.

The Food Theme Diet
2008-05-05 03:37:00
This is a very interesting diet concept that I think may work for many people. It is known as the ?food theme? diet and allows you to eat the foods you like, while losing a good amount of weight naturally. The diet is centered on eating less overall rather than eating the healthiest and natural foods you can find, although this does help as well.The basic concept of the diet is to choose a theme of food and to stick to that particular theme for a day. For example if you choose a theme of lemon, you should only eat foods with lemon in them for that day. Why? The concept behind this new diet is actually quite simple. Many people eat a lot because they are not completely full, even if they are not hungry. The body naturally likes to eat many different types of foods. This is one of the main causes of overeating. Even though you have eaten enough of a certain type of food and are no longer hungry, you still want to eat more of a different type of food. This new diet forces you to stick ...

They suffer fewer instances of cancer, diabetes and heart attacks. Their secrets include a more nutrient based diet and less stressful living.Okinawan centenarians stay lean by eating fewer calories than they burn off during the day. They maintain a healthy weight. For them, meals are a social event where the focus is on the social interaction and not the food itself. They eat until they are almost full before they get stuffed.It takes 20 minutes for the body to signal to the brain that is it full. Americans like to eat until they are stuffed. You can use a hunger rating system to monitor your level of satisfaction. During a meal, rate your hunger on a scale of 1 to 5- (1 is famished and 5 is stuffed.)

Why High Protein Diets Won't Help You Lose Weight

How do I get started?It's important to see your primary care provider for a thorough assessment to ensure that your symptoms are not caused by a medical condition that requires treatment. Even serious diseases, such as cancer, can present with seemingly minor symptoms such as fatigue and back pain. Or, they may only be detected by laboratory tests.There's no golden rule about what diet to follow or for how long, but the general theory is to temporarily (no more than one month) alter your diet in order to strengthen the organs and release stored toxins. This will involve cutting out alcohol and caffeine, two of the biggest culprits, as well as preparing your meals from natural foods free of additives, preservatives, saturated fats and sugar.Overweight?If you're overweight, you have more toxins in your body than a thin person because the body stores excess toxins in fat cells.

How do I choose a detox method?If you are trying a detox for the first time, it is best to take a gentle, gradual approach. The detox diet plan is a basic detox diet that many people recommend.Detox diets can target the different organ systems involved in detoxification: the skin, liver, kidneys, colon, lungs and lymph system. A natural health care practitioner can design a program that suits your needs by targeting specific organ systems. For example, a person with a skin condition may benefit from a program that addresses the liver, intestines, and skin.Other forms of detox include juice fasts, macrobiotic diet, colon cleanse, and liver flush. If you can't go without meat, at least avoid red meat, and consider steering clear of dairy and wheat for maximum benefits.If you are a heavy smoker or take drugs regularly, it will be a huge shock to the system to give up at the same time as detoxing.

However, many experts believe that the enormous number of chemicals we ingest daily through food, water, and the environment can accumulate.The buildup, called the toxic burden or body burden, can overwhelm the body's capacity to detoxify and may lead to hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiency, and inefficient metabolismWhat are the possible side effects of a detox diet?Some people may experience headache, acne, weight loss, or fatigue during a detox.
