2008-07-15T00:32:00.000-07:00

Acrospired seeds
Energy and vitality
Germination increases the ferment activity, so the number of vitamins and minerals is increased too. Radish, wheat, barley, soy, rice… All these can be eaten separately, in various dishes, juices or sandwiches. You can buy all these in the market or grow in your garden.

Exotic flavouring
Immunity strengthening
Exotics is in fashion now. It’s good, because ginger, karri, caraway, paprika and cinnamon gives the special taste even to common dishes.

Ginger combines with fried shrimps, karri with rice, anise combines with exotic dishes: Indian or Chinese.

Milk cocktails
Antioxidants and calcium
Thick milk drinks with fruit filling have many vitamins and calcium. But choose free-fat milk and yoghurts. And don’t add sugar! Also you’d better to change caw milk to sheep, goat or soya-based milk. Cellulose contained in fruits and berries, lets to feel satiety without snacks.
Well, mix fruits, fruit juice and yoghurt in equal parts and add 3 ice-blocks. Have a nice taste!

Raw foodstuff
Fount of vitamins
Sure you know that there are more microelements and vitamins in raw foodstuff than in boiled. Pay attention to food quality! Fish and meat have to be very fresh and clean. Generally it’s very useful to eat by one fruit and one vegetable every day; and unboiled meat and fish once a week.

If you don't like the taste of green tea, you can buy green tea extract to get the catechins that you desire. Be sure to read the ingredients and label before you purchase any supplement.

Also green tea is light in caffeine when compared to a drink like coffee, but since there is caffeine, don't count green tea as part of your daily water intake. Instead, drink a little extra water to offset the effect of the green tea's caffeine. Drink as much tea as you are comfortable drinking.

Intensity for Ideal Weight

2008-05-19T21:54:00.001-07:00

As for determining ideal weight, it is impossible to name a precise number of pounds by height, age, or something else, but the fact is that there are huge negative effects of obesity. A significant part of the American population cannot climb a flight of stairs without being out of breath.

However, there is no need to fixate on losing all your excess weight. This type of intention leads to a crash diet. If you decide to commit to those crash diets, you will lose the weight, but then you will realize that there is no way you can eat that way for the rest of your life. So, you will gain the weight back. The better way is to focus on getting healthy. Getting to an ideal weight is more about adding intensity to workouts.

There are three parts to effective workouts or physical activity: frequency, intensity and duration. Intensity is the most direct way to change your health for the better and lose body fat in the process. If you are a runner, devote the last 10 to 15 minutes of some runs to hard sprinting for 30 seconds followed by 90 seconds of recovery pace, then repeat three to five times. If you walk for exercise, do the same 30-second burst/90-second recovery pace sequence or add some hills or incline on your treadmill. For weight lifters, load your barbell at an amount that fatigues the muscles after 8 to 12 repetitions.

Physical activity or lack of it affects personal health. You can be healthy at a higher weight than what a professional might consider ideal, but you should increase your workouts' intensity to keep your weight off.

Lose Weight Fast

2008-04-08T06:09:00.000-07:00

Here are some simple and easy to follow steps to lose weight fast. Lose those unwanted pounds and start to look great and feel good again.

- After breakfast, make water your primary drink
At breakfast, go ahead and drink orange juice. But throughout the rest of the day, focus on water instead of juice or soda. Research shows that sugary drinks do not trigger a sense of fullness the way that food does.

- Eat at least five servings of fruit and vegetables a day
Not only do fruits and vegetables fill you up, they also supply vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to improve your health.

- Make exercise part of your day
Exercise is vital and you must make time for it during your day. The best time to exercise is as soon as you get out of bed in the morning. Get up an hour earlier, have a walk, and then come back and go on with your day.

- Find an online weight-loss buddy
Studies find that online weight-loss buddies help you keep the weight off.

- Pare your portions
Whether you eat at home or in a restaurant, immediately remove one-third of the food on your plate. Studies find that if you serve people more food, they will eat more food, regardless of their hunger level.

- Hang a mirror opposite your seat at the table
One study found that eating in front of mirrors slashed the amount people ate by nearly one-third.

- Eat 90 percent of your meals at home
You are more likely to eat more - and eat more high-fat, high-calorie foods - when you eat out than when you eat at home.

- Eat slowly and calmly
Your brain lags your stomach by about 20 minutes when it comes to satiety (fullness) signals. If you eat slowly enough, your brain will catch up to tell you that you are no longer in need of food.

- Take a walk before dinner
You will do more than burn calories - you will cut your appetite.

- Brush your teeth after every meal, especially after dinner
That clean, mint freshness will serve as a cue to your body and brain that mealtime is over.

- State the positive
If you keep focusing on things you can't do, like resisting junk food or getting out the door for a daily walk, chances are you won't do them. Instead, whether you believe it or not, repeat positive thoughts to yourself.

11 Tips to Begin to Lose Weight

2008-03-17T08:36:00.000-07:00

1. Try eating more regularly, even if it means more frequently. Eat an average of 5 small meals a day, instead of 2 or 3 large ones, where you stuff yourself. Be conscious about what you eat. Keep a food diary and note down everything you eat. You may be shocked at the results.

2. Take before and after photos. There’s no easier way to illustrate your progress. The “after” photos are far more fun to capture and share, admittedly.

3. Drink a lot of water. This reduces hunger pangs and gives you more energy. If you’re not drinking enough water, your body will let you know. Thirst is an amazing sensation - quench it. If you’re not hydrated, your body won’t be working at peak levels. Most of your body happens to be water, by the way. If you’re worried about “water weight,” remember that you’re likely to retain more water when you’re not giving your body enough of it in the first place. Besides, that’s what those workout sessions are supposed to help with every other morning.

4. Join an aerobics class. It's more disciplined and it's always better to work out in a group.

5. Stay busy. Don't just sit around wasting time. Chances are your mind will wander to that delicious chocolate cake? Partake in activities that are not conducive to eating. Join a singing class, take up oil painting or gardening - cultivate a hobby. When you reach for the refrigerator, stop and question yourself. Are you just bored or are you really hungry? In most of the cases the answer will be the former. Stick little post-it notes on the refrigerator saying, Stop! Or Reach for a glass of water.

6. Don’t compare yourself to others. Every body is different. It stands to reason that everybody will lose weight differently. Even if you do the exact same things that I do, you won’t lose weight at the same rate. The key is in finding your triggers. Keep your goal in sight, and do whatever you have to do to meet that goal. When you start looking at someone else’s habits, you’re only going to become discouraged and quit without even realizing that it’s physically impossible to be anybody but yourself.

7. If you have to snack, try this. It’s okay to snack between meals, really. Small meals throughout the day are enough to keep you satisfied, as (much like the sensation of being full) you never want to feel hungry. Let your body know it’s going to get a regular regimen of calories. Plus, if you starve yourself for the regular meals, you’re probably going to eat more before your brain tells your mouth to stop. Think about it: breakfast, lunch, and dinner are social constructs at their very core.

8. Sleep it off. To be an efficient fat-burning machine, your body requires at least eight hours of sleep a night. If you think that you’re doing yourself a favor by sleeping less, you’re mistaken. Give your body time to rest, both mentally and physically. Sleep is very important.

9. Visualize how you will look without those extra kilograms. Buy clothes a size smaller and work towards fitting into them.

10. Set realistic goals. You can lose 50 pounds in a week if you work out 12 hours a day and eat nothing but celery - but not if you’re human. Slow and steady wins the race. Don’t bite off more than you can chew - literally. Make small goals on your way to the bigger goal(s). In the end, you’ll have achieved more.

11. Get motivated. No one is going to lose your weight for you. You're going to have to do it all by yourself, and if the motivation doesn't come from within you, no amount of friends and family pushing you to lose weight is going to help.

Claudia Schiffer needs to exercise and watch her diet to keep fit even with her busy schedule. After 20 years in the modelling business, and being Mum to two young children, Claudia admits she still has to work at keeping her statuesque figure. "I enjoy good food very much," she says, "and I'm not one of those women who can eat whatever they want. I have to watch myself very carefully and think about what I eat all the time. I don't drink alcohol - not even to celebrate an occasion - and I steer clear of caffeine. If I don't it's a disaster."

On a typical morning she will have fruit for breakfast, along with tea and honey. "For lunch I try to have salads or vegetables or soups," she says, "and for dinner, chicken salad or tuna salad or a bit of regular chicken or vegetables. I try very hard to eat healthy. And it's not only for my figure. Sure, I would like to keep it the way it is. But it's also for the energy. I have much more energy when I'm thinner. Sweets make me very tired. Heavy food, lots of meat, makes me tired."

Her main ideas about healthy food are evinced in her diet 5+. Diet provides with 1200 kilocalories a day and leads to rapid weight loss - about 6.5 - 9 lbs per course. It is tasty, low-calorie and balanced diet. You won’t feel hungry. “5+” means that dieting period is 5 days. At the 6th day you are allowed to eat something tasty (like compensation), what you want, but only till 4 p.m., and then you can only drink water.

The Claudia's Diet will satisfy everyone, who likes fruits and vegetables. Also, this diet allows to drink water without limits, but water should be not aerated.

On the menu:

Breakfast: a bowl of blended fruits (except bananas and grapes) with 1 tablespoon of couched grains and sugar-free yogurt, green tea.

Lunch: fruit cocktail. 100 ml of any juice with the same amount of yogurt.

Laugh Helps to Lose Weight Greatly

2008-02-17T07:52:00.000-08:00

And it’s really true! Everyone can lose weight by laughing. Researchers discovered that laughing man loses up to 20% energy more. New research published in the International Journal of Obesity has discovered that laughter really is the best medicine for a weight problem.

The small study included 45 pairs of adult friends, who were shown either funny or serious film clips in a room that was set up with equipment to measure the amount of calories burnt and to monitor the rate, duration and type of laughter. The participants also wore heart monitors to measure their heart rate. The researchers discovered that laughing increased both heart rate and calorie expenditure by up to 20 per cent – and the longer participants laughed for the greater the effects. Although laughter has long been thought to be good for the heart and the immune system, this is the first study to suggest a benefit in weight loss.

The scientists consider that just 15 minutes of laughter a day will burn 10 to 40 calories, depending on a person’s weight and the intensity of the laughter. In other words, 10-15 minutes of laugh per day deprive the same amount of kilocalories, as the bar of chocolate adds. That’s enough to shift between 1 and 4lb a year.

Being overweight can make you feel miserable, but if you want to lose those excess pounds, you should better try to have a good laugh. It might be the simplest way to lose weight ever. So, lose weight, laughing!

Fitness Plus Milk

2008-01-23T08:43:00.000-08:00

What do you drink after fitness training? Sure you might grab a bottle of water or any sports drink, but not milk. But in vain! How about reaching for milk instead? Milk may be the ideal drink to help you gain muscle and burn fat after a workout. Take milk with you in the gym, if you think not only about your health but also about weight loss. That’s true for both athletes and recreational exercisers.

A brand new study showed that people who drank only 2 cups of skim milk after physical activity lost two times body fat than those compared to sports drinks. As published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a study at McMaster University examined the post-workout effects of drinking 2 cups of skim milk vs. a soy beverage with the same amount of protein and energy vs. a carbohydrate drink (like a sports drink) with about the same amount of energy. The researchers followed 3 groups of men from 18 to 30 years old. These 56 men engaged in rigorous weightlifting 5 days a week over a 12-week period. When the study was over, the researchers discovered that the milk drinking group had lost almost twice as much fat (2 pounds) as the carbohydrate drinking group (1 pound). The soy drinkers lost no fat. In addition, the milk drinkers gained 40% more muscle (2.5 pounds) than the soy drinkers and 63% more muscle (3.3 pounds) than the carbohydrate drinkers. The researchers concluded that milk is the ideal post-workout drink.

Well, it is recommended a glass of cold milk after a workout because it is refreshing, it rehydrates you and it helps restore muscles. It also contains nine essential nutrients and you can drink two to four servings of milk, dairy products or milk alternatives daily as part of a healthy diet. So go ahead and drink your milk, just make sure it is after a good workout to ensure maximum body fat loss. But since the milk has extra calories, it's a good idea to choose low fat or fat-free milk and limit the amount.

Oranges? Only in the Morning…

And to the contrary, eating orange in the evening, you can get sleeplessness as result. For an energy kick, there's nothing like an orange smoothie. To bump up the nutritional value, use fresh-squeezed orange juice. Also they help you with weight loss.

To make orange and banana smoothie you will need: 3/4 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup sliced banana, 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar, 1/8 teaspoon almond extract, 2 ice cubes, fresh mint sprig, for garnish.

Is Sushi an Alternative for Fast Food?

2007-12-24T09:28:00.000-08:00

Sushi has advantages over other kinds of fast food, especially over hamburgers, roasted chicken and various sandwiches. Generally sushi is great when you're dieting. Whether you're trying to keep your high-blood pressure down, boost your energy level, or just fit into your favorite jeans sushi is right here to help.

Unlike other kinds of fast food, which contain the great number of harmful fats and carbohydrates, sushi is the source of the unsaturated fats, getting from fish and avocado. Necessary acid Omega 3 contained in fat fish cannot be produced by our organism. This acid improves mental work and physical activity. Avocado is the source of vitamin E - the powerful antioxidant. Rice contains the great number of iron. Therefore, sushi is the most useful among all snacks.

By the way, sushi is covered with seaweeds, nori. Nori contains EPA - unsaturated fatty acid, which increase arteries and very effective for lowering of blood pressure. Sushi includes only half of fats contained in the same quantity of fast food and really is the finest alternative for traditional fast food.

Unfortunately the main components of healthy food, such as protein, calcium, fibers, minerals, and vitamins can’t be found in sushi. However, all these useful components present in fresh vegetables and fruits. Remember, non-fat milk products, fast meat, fish, grains, nuts and the great number of fruits and vegetables will balance your diet anyway. If you eat sushi for lunch, take carrot, celery and legumes also. Eat fruits, black bread, non-fat milk or yoghurt for breakfast. Raise protein in organism with help of stake, chicken or fish, and of course vegetables in the evening. Eat with pleasure, stay healthy.

About Use of Supper

2007-11-26T06:37:00.000-08:00

Every day after work people go to the gym. Are you one of them? So you know that after evening training and whole working day people want to eat much. But they are afraid to have supper because they think that late supper prevents to lose weight.

There is the theory that we often put on the weight only because we “eat” more calories that our organism needs. After overeating unexpended calories are turned into extra pounds and saved for long “deposit”. Last time this theory becomes more widespread. But assertion that the reason of overweight is late supper is considered like myth.

During athletic classes in the gym you expend glycogen – main source of energy for muscles, formed from glucose. So you have to fortify your forces after training to restore supplies of carbohydrate in your organism. So you should have supper. Also if you don't have supper you’ll have problems with sleep. Or in the morning you begin to eat with so strong desire that you can cancel the progress of previous day. Light supper, even if it is late supper, won’t harm. The main thing is not to eat much. Of course your trainer can give you the consultation about meal.

Does Fast Food Mean Fat Food?

2007-11-22T07:02:00.000-08:00

Women say that it is difficult to lose weight, because they do not have time to prepare healthy meals. They work long hours, care for their family and are simply too tired at the end of the day to prepare meals with good nutrition and suitable caloric value. So, eating out becomes a way of life for many families. In addition, the fast-food industry spreads a myth that you need lots of time to cook healthy meals.

Most people know that fast food is not good for them, but many do not realize how dangerous it really is. Fast foods are generally high in salt, fat, and refined carbohydrates, and low in vitamins and minerals. High intake of fast food is linked to high body weight. People who ate fast food more than two times per week gained an average about 10 pounds more than those who ate fast food less than once per week. Generally along with smoking, substance abuse and inactivity, fast food presents one of the greatest public-interest health threats to Americans today.

When a person is told that fast food is not good for him from a nutritional point of view, he is hardly surprised. The relationship between fast food and the almost epidemic obesity of the American population is a fairly well known fact. Still, the factors that make fast food so popular still seem to be powerful enough to make the majority of the population ignore the obvious risks of poor nutrition and weight problems. Fast food is easily available, relatively cheap, most people find it tasty and filling and it can be purchased fast.

There are very few alternatives to the high fat and high calorie menus in the fast food restaurants. Although many seem to be making some attempt to offer low cal alternatives, they end up ruining these offerings with sauces and dressings loaded with fat content. Even though these alternatives are offered, it is still the hamburger and fried chicken that is the king of fast food, and little has been done to reduce the impact of these foods on obesity.

There is advertising competition among the fast food restaurants to show that their fast food is least harmful to the consumer and even lists nutrition facts to prove that it is good for you. If you frequently eat out at fast food restaurants, you should consider the nutritional information they now provide to make good choice. It is possible to do that if you carefully pay attention to the details listed.

If you want to lose weight or release yourself from an eating disorder, try to eat these healthy types of foods: vegetables, root vegetables, potatoes, lettuce, fruits, berries, fish, porridge and lean dairy products. Unfortunally, many people live on a diet that consists mainly of pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, sweets, soft drinks and chips. If you are doubtful whether you should regularly eat a certain type of food, check if it causes compulsive eating or makes you want to eat even when you do not need more. Avoid all food that has this kind of effect.

Don’t eat junk, especially during a fast. The last thing you eat will be the next thing you crave! If you eat junk, you'll want more junk. If you eat veggies, you’ll want something healthy.

Is It Breakfast Not for You?

2007-11-03T07:58:00.000-07:00

Think better, because breakfast is the most important part of the meal during the whole day. There is the good alternative for people, who prefer to miss a breakfast.

Most women spend morning time trying to make everything in time. They take a shower, make hair-do every morning, clean teeth, choose fit suit. Maybe you like to sleep extra 15 minutes in the morning? Maybe you fight for slender waist? We don’t know why, but we have less and less time for breakfast. The oftener you begin to miss morning meal, the less you need it. Many women noticed that they can’t even think about food before 10 a. m.

But organism begins to play mean joke with us. Depriving yourself of the breakfast, you shift it in the condition of hunger. So instead of beginning the process of metabolism (incineration of calories), organism slows it down to keep failing energy. Of course, you can not to feel it right now, but in the definite moment there will be problems with level of sugar in the blood.

Experts advise to try smoothies as an alternative of breakfast for those people who haven’t enough time or who don’t want to eat. Smoothie is mixed cooled drink, made from fresh fruits and fruit juices, with adding ice, quick-frozen fruits or frozen yoghurt. Everything you need to prepare it is blender and fruits. It is very easy to make smoothie. You can take it with you at work.
