Lose Weight with Carbs - Resistant Starch
2008-03-23 12:44:00 A new research has proved that carbs *can* actually make you lose weight if you know how to cook them and eat them. Great news, I would say. According to Leslie Bonci, author of the American Dietetic Association's Guide to Better Digestion, "Resistant starch has the potential to become the next hot nutrition trend." Many diets have already qualified potatoes, rice, beans, grains, corn as bad for More About: Weight , Lose Weight
Exercise: Elliptical and Magnetic Bikes
2008-03-08 13:28:00 For me, no matter what I do, without exercise I cannot stay fit for very long. I hate food restrictions and I hate going to fitness centers and waiting in line or just having someone run after me to tell me how I should do things. I also feel I'm wasting time when I exercises - unless I play sports, which is different. So I either need to watch TV or read a book while exercising, not thinking More About: Exercise , Bikes , Magnetic
That Extra Something That Helped Me Lose Weight
2007-08-21 20:47:00 Exercise. I know many dread what the word implies. There's a catch though: having fun. Well, I've been walking a lot lately. I've been climbing stairs at work instead of taking the elevator. And last weekend I went out with a few friends to play some volleyball. Started as volleyball for one hour and ended with soccer, for another 30 minutes. I like volleyball but I love soccer. And it's More About: Weight , Lose Weight , Extra

2007-07-19 18:39:00 I was planning on writing on something else, but then the message I received for my previous post got me thinking about a very serious problem. You might have read (or not) some of the previous posts on what NOT to do to lose weight. I am underlining it each time because from there to becoming an anorectic or a bulimic is not a long way. I have seen plenty of cases, especially in my teens. I More About: Health , Dieting , Conditions
Sweets When on a Diet
2007-07-17 19:57:00 If you are not on a strict diet, and you are only planning to reduce the number of calories, and you are allowed or you allow yourself to have sweets now and then, you have to know that some sweets are better than others. Chocolate is a definite 'no'. Even if it based on artificial sweetner, the cocoa found in it is very rich in calories. Also, since it stimulates endorphins, and maybe due to More About: Diet , Sweets
Feels Good to Lose Weight
2007-07-16 21:50:00 Yuppers... I've seen two friends that I haven't seen in a while and individually they've told me that I had lost weight. Obviously, that makes me feel good. Because You cannot always tell, you know? So when people tell you that you feel better. :) I've started jogging (like stepping in a way) in the house for about 20-30 mins. It makes you lose that extra water. Then I usually have 2 cups of More About: Weight , Lose Weight , Good
8 Pounds in One Week: Cabbage Soup
2007-07-14 13:40:00 I talked about this before, but now let's go more deeply into it. Those who have been on this diet claim that they had lost about 8 pounds in one week. Lucky are those who love cabbage soup. I am not one of them. Honesyly, the only cabbage I like is the pickled one. And that one only made the Romanian way.

Birth Control Pills, Weight Gain, and Water Retention
2007-07-13 18:22:00 Yes. Birth control pills can cause you to gain weight and have trouble losing it. What's responsible for it? Mostly estrogen. Estrogen is the primary female sex hormones. The more estrogen a pill has, the higher of chance to put on weight and retain fluid. Estrogen increases the insulin level. That means, as Ihave already explained in previous posts, resistance to weight loss. My best friend More About: Weight , Water , Control , Retention
The Grapefruit Diet
2007-07-11 19:44:00 I am going to write about this because many people asked about the grapefruit diet. Remember what I have been telling you about the insulin levels in your blood? That if they are not kept under control you cannot lose weight, or you lose weight much harder. Well, according to Dr. Ken Fujioka at the Nutrition and Metabolic Research Center at Scripps Clinic, grapefruit regulates the blood in your More About: Diet , Grapefruit
20 Pounds in Two Weeks: Max Planck Diet
2007-07-11 19:10:00 If you want to know what I have to say: I doubt this is healthy. I honestly believe you will feel tired and bad and that your metabolism will slow down and that the moment you will stop dieting you will be putting on double weight. But hey, if you want to try it at your own risk... it guarantees 19-20 pounds in two weeks. To me it is worse than starvation. And those 20 pounds probably would only More About: Diet , Weeks
Lose Almost 15 Pounds in Two Weeks
2007-07-08 17:31:00 Yes, I have to do it. No more slow dieting. This has already helped me lose 5 pounds lately, but now it's time to attack seriously. On the 20th of July I will be going to the seaside and I cannot go with my 127 pounds. I am disgusted by myself. I felt bad even when I was 110 pounds so now I feel awful. Basically I will try to be realistic. I will not be able to reach 110 pounds in less than two More About: Weeks
Questions and Answers
2007-07-04 18:31:00 I am going to reply to some of the questions that I have seen. Does afternoon nap make you fatter? It depends. If you eat a lot and then you sleep, yes it does. If you sleep right away or have some fruits before the nap - no, it doesn't. Actually, afternoon nap will keep you looking young. It will also help you lose weight because a fast metabvolism can happen only when you are not 'exhausted'. More About: Questions , Answers , Questions and Answers
Losing Weight - The Process
2007-06-30 19:05:00 For most women, the losing weight proces follows the same steps, at least at the beginning. During a diet, the first two days hardly something happens on the scale. On the third day, the fat will lose 'density' and becomes softer. Now, depending on how much fat you have on and how 'dense' the fat is when you grab it (see difference between fat on belly and fat on legs and butt to understand what More About: Weight , Losing Weight , Process
I've Lost 3 Pounds in Ten Days
2007-06-29 17:24:00 Yeah, I'm on the roll, baby... By the end of the next week I have to lose another two or three. It takes longer at the beginning - about 2-3 days - until your body starts losing weight. No matter what diet you are on, it always happens like this. What did I do to lose weight?

Can't Lose More Weight?
2007-06-28 19:42:00 So your diet has been giving great results. You've worked your ass out every single day. You have 1,000 calories a day. But all of a sudden your body refuses to lose weight anymore. This is the tricky moment. Your body has built a defence wall around this weight and, no matter what, it will not let you lose those pounds.

Coconut Oil and Losing Weight

But too much of anything can be bad in the end. Honestly, I might try this but not with coconut oil. I will simply buy a coconut and eat it like this.

Cortisol and Adrenaline: Hormones Causing Weight Gain
2007-06-27 20:38:00 As long as you don't eat when you are stressed, you should be ok - from the weight gain point of view. According to Dr Pamela Peeke, the bigger your tummy fat the more chances you have to get diabetes or a heart condition. Cortisol kicks in when you are stressed and you get a huge appetite for junk food, anything to calm you down instantly, like chocolate or bad-carbs.

Virus Causing Obesity?
2007-06-27 20:11:00 You wouldn't believe it and it's the scariest thing I have ever heard. First, I saw this program on Discovery in which they were first presenting the obesity virus theory. They looked at two twins who ate the same things and acted the same, but when they ran some tests, they identified something different in their body: it was what they called the 'obesity virus'. It is actually an adenovirus, More About: Virus , Obesity
The Pounds Are Not Everything
2007-06-27 19:33:00 Do you measure how fat you are based on your pounds? Don't do that. Bones can be heavier or lighter, muscles are heavier than fat; your breasts can be large or small. And that can make a difference of a few good pounds. Instead, try to understand you body fat percentage.

Losing Weight with Cereals - Nestle Fitness

Lose Weight in Your Arms
2007-06-24 15:39:00 How are your muscles? Do you have flappy arms? Well, you can always change that. Losing weight on your upper arms and raising your breasts is a lot easier than losing fat off your bum or upper legs. How doyou do it? Push-ups and crunches help. So does Winsor pilates or swimming.
