xMistakes asked:


I’m 5′5 and weight about 125. I’m trying to lose some pounds overall so I can thin out my thighs. I’ve already limited my junk food intake. I’m an extremely picky eater, so I don’t eat any fruits, vegetables, and the majority of meats. Yeah, I know — I’m a total freak for disliking all that. I’ve read in several places online that eating 6 small meals a day and then exercising helps to lose weight.. but I can’t really eat that often in the day.

The way I’d prefer to exercise is using a stationary bike. I was wondering how long I should exercise on the bike each day to lose 10-15 pounds before the end of the year? And maybe what I should limit my caloric intake to in respect to the exercise so I can lose that weight? Thanks a ton guys!

Dr John Anne asked:


Arthritis pain can be alleviated in many ways. Although it may sound unusual, exercise is a very important treatment for arthritis. Arthritis causes stiffness and pain in the joints – arthritis exercises can help relieve the stiffness, which will help lessen the pain. Exercise is essential to the overall health of your body. Those who adhere to a regular exercise routine are better able to fight off the effects of many illnesses and are able to decrease the stiffness and pain associated with arthritis.

Before Arthritis

Exercise is important for everyone. It is important to begin an exercise regimen early in life and maintain a regular routine. Some of the overall benefits of exercise include:

• Improves your body’s ability to fight infections.

• Improves sleep quality.

• Helps you to lose weight if you are overweight.

• Helps you to gain weight if you are underweight.

• Help you to maintain your weight if you are at a healthy weight.

• Keeps your blood circulating, which makes your brain work better.

• Lowers your risk of illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.

The key to maintaining a healthy exercise regimen is to know your body’s limits. Over exercising can cause the symptoms of arthritis to begin earlier than what is normal. The key is to begin an exercise regimen and stay consistent.

First Signs of Arthritis

Even a regular exercise regimen will not completely prevent arthritis. Arthritis happens as the body ages naturally – and can occur in people who do everything they can to take care of their bodies. When you begin to notice the first signs of arthritis – stiffness or pain in certain joints – you need to learn the most effective of lessening the effects of arthritis. Arthritis exercises can help you to ease the pain and stiffness of arthritis and prolong the need for medications. Some of the benefits of arthritis exercises include:

• Strengthens muscles around the joints.

• Relieves joint stiffness.

• Increases joint flexibility.

• Increases your endurance levels.

• Relieves joint pain.

Beginning an Exercise Regimen in Arthritis

If you begin noticing symptoms of arthritis and you do not have a regular exercise regimen, it is not too late to begin. However, at this point you will have to begin your exercise routine with the goal of not aggravating the joints affected by arthritis and causing the symptoms to worsen. The most important types of exercises for arthritis suffers are:

• Range of motion – these exercises help you to maintain or increase flexibility by helping to maintain normal joint movement and help relieve the stiffness that can occur with arthritis.

• Strengthening – these exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles around the joints so that the joints and muscles work together. If the muscles are weak, the joints will take all of the pressure and wear and tear of the joints occurs more quickly.

• Endurance – these exercises help you to maintain overall body health including weight management and cardiovascular fitness. Extra weight on your body puts more pressure on the joints causing premature wear and tear. Keeping the blood flowing correctly helps all of your body parts work together as they should.

When you begin an arthritis exercise routine, you should begin slowly and build up as your body gains strength. Listen to your body – it will let you know if you are trying to do too much too soon. Here are some pointers on getting started with your exercise regimen:

• Discuss arthritis exercises with your physician.

• Exercise under the supervision of a physical therapist or trainer, if possible.

• Warm up and stretch your body before you begin exercising – range of motion exercises.

• Start slowly – you should begin strengthening exercises with the smallest amount of weight and build to larger amounts as your body can handle it.

• Aerobic exercises – once your body becomes accustomed to an exercise regimen, add aerobic exercises in order to improve your cardiovascular health.

• Recreational exercises – once your body becomes accustomed to an exercise regimen and you have added aerobic exercises, you can begin to add recreational exercises such as biking and swimming.

• Have fun – this is one of the most important aspects of your arthritis exercise regimen. If you choose a recreational exercise that you enjoy, you are more likely to maintain your routine and get the most benefit.

Sharron Nixon asked:


Stomach exercises are great because the stomach is one troublesome spot that, when you begin to lose the weight, will appear much more toned and flatter within a very short time. If you want to tone your abs or get ripped, remember that stomach exercises are only part of the solution.

Exercises for the stomach like sit-ups can be done daily or at every workout session. Abdominal exercises are some of the easiest you can perform, not only because they target a portion of the body often missed by other traditional exercises, but because you can perform these exercises so often.

Strengthening exercises for the stomach, should always be followed by a full range of stretches designed to lengthen and tone the muscles. The best abdominal exercises are those that combine aerobic exercise with spot training, but it is a myth that abdominal exercises are all you need to have a flat stomach.

There are four abdominal muscles that form a multi-layered multi- directional girdle around the trunk or core of the body. When doing your stomach exercises concentrate on your obliques, the stomach muscles that run up the side of your stomach and around to your back. These are exercises usually involving a twisting crunch. In this way you’ll exercise your central abdominal or core area for ‘free’ as you go.

The stomach is always a problem area and unfortunately exercises for a particular area don’t result in weight loss from that specific area. For best results with stomach exercises, remember to eat a healthy diet and perform aerobic exercise 3 times a week as well as doing your in addition to abdominal exercises.

The abdominals are some of the most resilient muscles in the body, which makes abdominal exercises one of the few workouts that can be practiced daily without injury to the body. Because of the resilience of abs, a dedicated person can do stomach exercises daily, helping them see results far more quickly than is possible with many other areas of the body.

Abdominal exercises, if practiced frequently, can provide rapid and easily seen results, which is greatly encouraging when you exercise. One of the best things about stomach exercises is that many, if not all of them, can be done at home. Equipment such as crunch machines, specialized crunch benches, and medicine balls can all enhance the abdominal exercises you do in your own home.

Don’t make the mistake of doing hundreds of repetitions of stomach exercises in the hope of getting a flat stomach. Only when your body fat has lowered sufficiently, can your abdominal muscles become tight and visible. A recent study showed that the classic sit-up is not the best exercise for stronger, flatter stomachs. The best abdominal muscles in the world may be hidden by a stubborn layer of body fat. This is because we are all of different body types.

Some people store fat more readily in the hips, buttocks, and thighs, others store fat excess in the arms and upper back and still others store their fat in the stomach and waist area.

There is no way around it: if you want that trim, defined torso that is so desirable in todays world, you are going to have to do stomach exercises. This is where you need a routine consisting of exercise for lower abdominal muscles. Such a routine helps you define and sculpt the lower abdominals, giving you that chiselled look.

Barry McDonald asked:


Fat burning foods refer to specific type of foods that either burn fats accumulated in the body or improve metabolism. Adding these types of foods in your regular diet, you can easily wash out the fat from your body and keep yourself fit and healthy. Fat burning foods and exercises are the ideal solution for individuals who are on a weight loss program. Foods that burn more calories than the amount of calories contained in the food itself are also known as fat burning foods.

Fat burning foods that burn more calories during digestion then they contain are generally high in two things, fiber and water. Celery is a good example. Fat burning foods, or negative calorie foods, are supposed to be so low in calories that digesting these foods burn more calories than they contain.

Fat burning foods are readily available and will definitely fit into your budget as well. Fat burning foods not only helps us to lose weight naturally but also increase our body rate of weight loss. So include these foods in your daily diet helps speed up weight loss, build a healthier body and put you on the road to a healthier lifestyle.

Plus eating every 2-3 hours is the basis of a good fat burning diet because it helps keep your metabolism burning your fat stores and also you do not have to concentrate on the food you’re taking in. Lack of activity combined with lack of attention to diet causes your body then ignores fat stores and works on what you are eating, packing the rest of the excess calories away for a rainy day since it feels you are not eating frequently enough.

Try eating some of the following fat burning foods and do some exercise, it will boost your metabolism and burn calories (fat) at a faster rate for several hours even after exercise.

Apples

Apples are rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants need to fight disease. Apples are a fat burning food which will help shed and maintain extra pounds. Apples are simply terrific to deal with losing the fat. Pectin in apple restricts the cells to absorb the fat; and also encourages water absorption from the food which helps in releasing the fat deposits from the body.

Beets

Beets are a strong diuretic that focuses on the liver and kidneys. Beets flush out floating body fats. Beets flush out floating body fats and cleanse blood corpuscles that can contain fat deposits. Beets also contain chlorine that stimulates the lymph, which helps flush out fatty deposits.

Garlic

Garlic is known to break down fat deposits and is also an antiseptic and an antibiotic, making it a good component of any diet. Chili and cayenne peppers are considered fat burning foods and will also spice up some otherwise bland dishes. Garlic - A natural diuretic containing mustard oils that create a cleansing action in the body.

Green Tea

Green tea burners and diet supplements have been found to be very effective in lowering cholesterol so as to reduce the chances of stroke. By increasing the rate of calorie burning, green tea also helps in weight loss. Green tea is often cited as having the most potential. Although it is somewhat unclear as to weather it is the ingredients in the green tea that give benefits, or the green tea as a source of caffeine.

Grapefruit

Grapefruit has been shown to reduce insulin levels. If you are one of the many who are insulin resistant and your body is overloaded with insulin, try having half a grapefruit before each meal. Grapefruit may bring back memories of fad diets-gone bad, but the citrus fruit may actually help improve insulin levels, making us feel less hungry. Big on satiety from its high fiber and water content, grapefruit’s low in calories and can aid weight loss when incorporated into a healthy diet.

Eat More Fruit

In studies of peoples eating habits it was noticed that fruit eaters ate fewer calories overall, this could be because having a snack a couple of times a day with three reasonable meals will help to maintain a good blood sugar level, which helps to control your hunger.

So, next time you need to satisfy a sugar craving, reach for this low-calorie, high-fiber snack. Fruits like apples, peaches, grapefruits, and oranges, at only 60-80 calories apiece (or less), are a great addition to almost any nutritional plan. Just make sure the majority of your carbohydrates are of the complex type. Fruits make for great snacks and should replace the high fat snacks that we normally eat.

Fruits rich in vitamin C like limes, lemons, oranges, grapefruit and tangerines have fat burning properties. Some of the other fat burning foods are asparagus, beet root, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, apple, blueberries, and watermelon.

Eat More Protein

Eating protein can help you burn fat. One of the reasons is that it requires a lot of energy to digest protein and the body burns calories to get that energy.

Finally

Don’t expect fat burning foods to be the easy way out of weight loss, they will do the their job but for greater results you’ll need to get up and get moving, go out play with the kids, clean the house, just get out and do something. The more you move the harder your metabolism will have to work to keep up and the greater the fat burned!

Scott Soloff asked:


Imagine this. There are a group of foods where you can eat practically all you wish to and at the same time still lose weight. Well, it is true. The following are some foods that require more calories to burn than they contain. Eating these foods will help melt the fat away.

Making healthy substitutions is the best way to begin. Substitute fruits for cake and ice cream. Try substituting turnip fries for french fries. With a little creativity you will have endless possibilities. If you need help with recipes you can look online or get a book from your local library or natural food store.

With vegetables it is helpful to eat them either raw or lightly steamed. You would like them to be slightly crisp when you serve them.

Here is a partial list of some examples.

Artichokes-Artichokes are very tasty and it worth trying them. With just a little practice you’ll be able to prepare them exactly to your taste.

Celery-Celery is well known as a fat burning food. Eat it every day for a few weeks and see for yourself. Eating carrot sticks and celery during the day is a great snack. It will provide some essential nutrition and burn calories at the same time. Whenever possible it is best to use organic product.

Green Peppers-Green peppers are loaded with vitamin A and vitamin C. They are easy to grow and they freeze nicely so you should consider adding them to your garden.

Tomatoes-Technically tomatoes are a type of fruit. They are, however, prepared like vegetables. There are literally thousands of types of tomatoes.

Peas-Canned peas are horrible. Fresh pea pods are readily available in supermarkets and natural food stores. Please, eat them fresh.

Here are some other vegetables that will assist in your weight loss program. They include brussel sprouts, corn, string beans, asparagus, cauliflower, kohlrabi, red peppers, broccoli and green beans.

Let’s not forget pumpkins and squash. Pumpkins and squash are delicious. They make great side dishes. They are probably one of the most under-utilizes foods available today. They are so tasty they kids enjoy them too.

Chances are you use onions and chives already. Grab a cook book and see what you can do with leeks, scallions, and shallots? You’d be amazed at how versatile they can be.

Packed with fiber and nutrition, root vegetables are just what you need if you are trying to lose weight. This group includes carrots, parsnips, radishes, rutabagas and turnips. Turnips make great substitutes for potatoes!

Using herbs to season your food is a great way to eat healthy and lose weight. These herbs in particular are good because they require more calories to digest than what they contain. These include chervil, parsley leaves, celeriac and garlic.

Here is an interesting note about garlic. Garlic has been used for centuries not just as a food but as a medicine too. It is claimed to help lower cholesterol, reduce the pain of rheumatoid arthritis, and it is even said to fight cancer.

This list of fat burning foods is just the beginning. Do you realize that losing weight can be kind of fun and sort of an adventure. It does not have to be a hardship. As I mentioned above, find some cook books and experiment with the recipes. Lose weight and have fun, what a concept!

George Watson asked:


Herbs are used for maintaining good overall health and keeping the bodys most basic processes working properly. People have been using herbs for medicinal reasons since before recorded history. In the past just as today, herbs are used for a million different things including weight loss, digestive health, and sexual health.

Herbal dietary supplements replenish the body with the minerals and nutrients it needs that it may not get from a poor diet, pollution or other reason. Herbs help keep the body balanced, maintain a healthy mind and promote a healthy balance of mind, body and feelings.

The benefits of herbal medicine are obvious and people use them for all types of reasons. Even skeptical people in the medical field are starting to realize and appreciate just how important herbs are. Medicinal use, herbal tonics, ancient theory and rituals using herbal medicine are now getting popular in the world view. Its well over due too, as the Chinese have been utilizing the benefits of herbal medicine for over 4,000 years.

From a historical standpoint, even to today, Chinese herbs have had a massive and positive influence on the mental and physical health of billions of people. These and other herbs such as from Indian ayurvedic medicine are still being used today for common and rare health problems by over 80% of the world.

A major use of herbal medicine today is for natural weight loss. Aside from a focused plan of diet and exercise, some herbs may help safely raise the metabolism or help in appetite suppression. But at the same time, you should also be aware of any possible side effects. You could always check with your doctor about any diet herbs you are thinking about taking.

It is important to stay informed about what herbs you add to your diet. Everyones metabolism (the rate that your body burns calories) is different and is affected by many things, such as genetics. Frequently eating even a few more calories than your body requires can lead to gaining weight. By taking in only one hundred extra calories daily for example, means that you will gain one pound in a month (a pound of body fat is equal to 3,500 calories).

Some experts believe that a lifestyle with low physical activity results in a person gaining more weight than eating too many extra calories does. This is because regular exercise burns off calories and also builds lean muscle. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn while not exercising.

Here are a few of the commonly used herbs that promote good health and also weight management.

Common herbs reviewed

Vitanet® Health Foods asked:


Get ready to experience a volume of information of the healthiest foods in the world. Here is a list of the top ten super foods that most health experts agree on. You should tell everyone you know about these foods and enjoy them at your next meal. From fruits and vegetables, to whole grains, nuts, beans and legumes, this power-packed nutritional inventory will take you into the best years of your life and beyond.
Fruits

Cantaloupe
Only a quarter of cantaloupe provides almost all the vitamin A needed in one day. Since the beta-carotene in a cantaloupe converts to vitamin A, you get both nutrients at once. These vision-strengthening nutrients may help reduce the risk of developing cataracts. Like an orange, cantaloupe is also an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps our immune system. It is also is a good source of vitamin B6, dietary fiber, folate, niacin, and potassium, which helps maintain good blood sugar levels and metabolism. This pale orange power fruit may help reduce our risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
Blueberries
These mildly sweet (and sometimes tangy) berries offer a high capacity to destroy free radicals that can cause cancer. Low in calories, they offer antioxidant phytonutrients called anthocyanidins, which enhance the effects of vitamin C. These antioxidants may help prevent cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, heart disease and cancer.

Vegetables
3: Tomatoes
Tomatoes help us fight against heart disease and cancers such as colorectal, prostate, breast, endometrial, lung, and cancer of the pancreas. Tomatoes are also good sources of vitamin C, A, and K. In a 2004 study, it was found that tomato juice alone can help reduce blood clotting.
Fresh, organic tomatoes deliver three times as much of the cancer-fighting carotenoid lycopene. Even organic ketchup is better for you than regular ketchup! Look for tomato pastes and sauces that contain the whole tomato (including peels) because you will absorb 75% more lycopene and almost two times the amount of beta-carotene.
4: Sweet Potatoes
As an excellent source of vitamin A, C, and manganese, sweet potatoes are also a good source of copper, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, potassium and iron. Those who are smokers or prone to second-hand smoke may benefit greatly from this root vegetable that helps protect us against emphysema.
For a unique dessert, cube a cooked sweet potato and slice a banana. Then lightly pour maple syrup over the top and add a dash or two of cinnamon. Add chopped walnuts for an even healthier kick.
5: Spinach and Kale
A cancer-fighter and cardio-helper, spinach and kale top the list as far as green leafy vegetables are concerned. Much like broccoli, they provide an excellent source of vitamin A and C. Kale is a surprisingly good source of calcium at 25% per cup, boiled. Vitamin K is abundantly found in spinach as well, with almost 200% of the Daily Value available, to help reduce bone loss.
Whole Grains
6: Whole Grain Bread, Pasta and Brown Rice
Whether it’s bread or pasta, the first thing to check for when purchasing whole grain bread and pasta is to make sure it is 100% whole grain. Remember to check the list of ingredients on the package. For example, look for the exact phrase “whole wheat flour” as one of the first ingredients listed in whole wheat bread. If it’s not listed as such, then it’s not whole grain. Wheat bran is a cancer-fighting grain that also helps us regulate our bowel movements.
Brown rice is also a better choice than refined grain (white rice) for the same reason as choosing whole wheat bread. Whole wheat flour or brown rice that turns into white flour or white rice actually destroys between 50-90% of vitamin B3, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, manganese, phosphorus, iron, and all of the dietary fiber and essential fatty acids we need. Even when processed white flour or white rice is “enriched,” it is not in the same form as the original unprocessed kind. In fact, 11 nutrients are actually lost and are not replaced during the “enrichment” process!
Nuts
7: Walnuts
These nuts are packed with omega-3 fats, which is one of the “good” fats. A quarter cup of walnuts would take care of about 90% of the omega-3s needed in one day. Walnuts provide many health benefits including cardiovascular protection, better cognitive function, anti-inflammatory advantages relating to asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis. They can even help against cancer and also support the immune system.
Beans and Legumes
8: Black Beans and Lentils
While black beans are a good source of fiber that can lower cholesterol, so are lentils. The high fiber content in both black beans and lentils helps to maintain blood sugar levels. Also a fat-free, high quality protein with additional minerals and B-vitamins, black beans and lentils fill you up and don’t expand your waistline.
A complete, one-stop source of using a variety of beans and lentils comes easy when you can find a bag of 15-bean mix (includes black beans, lentils, navy, pinto, red, kidney, etc.) at the grocery store. Consider making a delicious soup with the addition of tomatoes, onions, garlic and your favorite spices with this bean mixture.
Dairy
9: Skim Milk and Yogurt
Skim milk (or low-fat) helps to promote strong bones, offering an excellent source of calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K. These nutrients help protect colon cells from cancer-causing chemicals, bone loss, migraine headaches, premenstrual symptoms, and childhood obesity. Recent studies also show that overweight adults lose weight, especially around the midsection, when consuming low-fat dairy such as skim milk and yogurt.
Yogurt also includes the essential nutrients such as phosphorous and vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin B5, zinc, potassium, and protein. Yogurt’s live bacterial cultures also provide a wealth of health benefits that may help us live longer and strengthen our immune system.
Seafood
10: Salmon
Salmon is high in protein, low in saturated fat and high in omega-3 fats (the essential fatty acids that are also found in those walnuts mentioned earlier). Salmon is a heart-healthy food and is recommended to eat at least twice a week. When choosing salmon, it’s best to stay away from farm raised and select wild instead. Research studies show that farmed salmon may cause cancer because it may carry high levels of carcinogenic chemicals known as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Other
Green Tea and “Power” Water
Although not food per say, the health benefits of these beverages are worthy of mentioning.
Green tea has beneficial phytonutrients and lower levels of caffeine than all other teas. The more research studying green tea, the more health benefits are found. A cancer fighter as well, green tea has antioxidant effects that lower risks of bacterial or viral infections to cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, periodontal disease, and osteoporosis.
Water packed with vitamins and/or naturally sweetened fruit are also the newest trend. Some offer a full day’s supply of vitamin C while others promise no artificial sweeteners with a full, fruity taste.
As you can see, the top ten super foods are worth every bite (or sip). Now that you know which foods can help save your life, what’s more important than investing in your health?

Irina Webster asked:


Bulimics and other food addicts eat compulsively. They can’t stop their compulsive behavior once they have started their binge eating and tend to disregard the consequences of their behaviors.

These people are persistently preoccupied with buying, preparing, cooking and eating food. They also can sneak or steal food, hide the food in their bags, cupboards, drawers and other places.

When the food supply is cut off, withdrawal symptoms can occur, including chills, dizziness, headaches, poor concentration, nausea and lethargy.

A food-related addiction can also be accompanied by co addictions. Many bulimics may also binge on alcohol or get addicted to prescription drugs or even over-the-counter medications like diuretics and laxatives. Bulimics may be addicted to cigarettes to help moderate their food cravings.

The treatment for food addicts and bulimics is complex. Behavioral therapy, family therapy, nutritional therapy and even hospitalization can be used to treat sufferers.

But the most difficult thing in the treatment process still remains their coping with cravings to binge or binge and purge during the recovery process.

If only you can stop these cravings to overeat things would be different! Some sufferers even describe it as little voices in their head that force them to binge. If only you can stop the little voices or at least make them not as strong people maybe able to cope better.

Many methods have been tried to kick a food addiction. The most beneficial methods are probably the ones which involved changing a person’s way of thinking and dealing with emotions. But I also found that some herbal therapy can help you to fight your food addiction also.

These herbs seem to be useful for kicking food addictions:

Gymnema blocks the taste and metabolism of sugar if consumed before eating. It can quickly help your body stop sugar dependency.

Amla is rich in nutrients, especially vitamin C. Ayurvedic medicine uses it a lot to help people feel lighter and happier. It is also a mild laxative.

Alfalfa is also rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals. But the main benefit is that it contains enzymes that helps digest the food (for bulimics it is necessary because bulimics have slow digestive processes).

Ginger stimulates circulation to all parts of the body. Also it improves digestion and gives body more energy.

Burdock improves fat metabolism and eliminates extra water from the body. It is very beneficial for kidney, liver and bowel function.

Nettle is a traditional remedy for cellulite. Also eliminates extra water from the body and stimulates blood circulation.

Dandelion Root improves liver function and metabolism of fat. The leaf is a natural diuretic and is rich in trace minerals, especially potassium.

Fennel Seed is a natural appetite suppressant and helps to control your cravings for specific foods.

Cola Nut is a stimulant. It contains caffeine and theobromine. It can be used to suppress hunger and mental exhaustion.

Cinnamon is naturally sweet. It can lower the desire for other sugars. It also improves circulation.

St. John’s Wort is a natural antidepressant and anxiety reliever. It can help to stop emotional eating.

Kenneth G. Dockins asked:


Pay close attention to this how-to-lose-weight article because its purpose is to boost your bottom line body fat knowledge.

Today you can solve your fat loss mystery finally and for good.

It is time to get back to body fat basics.

It remains no surprise that you may find yourself constantly struggling to lose undesired weight. And, there are three primary reasons for this:

One… The human body desperately clings to its innate design to store the excess, unused foods you eat.

Two… Unfortunately, American grade schools and high schools teach no class called, HOW TO CONTROL YOUR BODY FAT. Therefore, you grow up as an adult with far too little knowledge about what to do with the fat that has been accumulating for years of your life.

Three… The entire concept of gaining or losing weight is not a quick, simple, overnight process. In reality, you gain weight gradually and slowly, over a number of years, resulting from the combined duo of a) poor eating choices, plus b) choice of inactive, sedentary daily lifestyle.

Since it is now time for you to return to your basic body fat fundamentals, you first need to redefine and/or revisit your personal definitions of what EXCESS WEIGHT and BEING OVERFAT really are.

Weight loss is simply about food management. That is, the way you CHOOSE to process the fuel you put into your engine. In this simplified weight loss analogy, your body is your electro-mechanical engine. And, the foods you eat, provide your fuel for it.

Perhaps it may help to visualize your personal weight loss profile by picturing this… compare putting gasoline into a car, with putting food into your body. As such, gasoline is not harmful and does not cause bloating, swelling, or excess.

In fact, your gasoline usage allows your car to fire up and go places. Without gasoline, your car cannot travel long distances. And, there is such a thing called FLOODING YOUR ENGINE. This happens when too much gasoline enters your engine.

Now, compare putting food into your body, with putting gasoline into your engine. As such, food is not harmful and does not cause bloating, swelling, or excess.

In fact, your food usage allows your body to fire up, do things, and go places. Without food, your body cannot travel long distances. So, there is such a thing called FLOODING YOUR BODY. This happens when too much food enters your system and stays there.

Please be sure that the basic, overall, fat-loss point you get from this weight loss analogy is this…

You are supposed to utilize, transform, metabolize, change, or burn… your food fuels as ENERGY. And, you are supposed to emit that energy in the form of a) an action achieved, b) a physical destination reached, or c) an object moved from one location to another, different place.

Doing any of the above, gives you either: 1) a decrease in existing body fat; or, 2) deferment, displacement, and/or removal of fat that WILL form later, if ignored.

Old School Fat Loss

You can beat body fat with ‘old school’ style. And, what is your classic, old-school approach to fat loss achievement? It is to manage your calories. However, the tricky and challenging duality of this task lays in the fact that Calories Are Not Physical. They are merely a spatial representation of what you are eating, and where it goes.

And, there are only two kinds of calories, Negative and Positive. Following the above examples, you reach negative calorie status (better known as WEIGHT LOSS) when you successfully utilize, transform, metabolize, change, or burn off the foods you eat.

You reach positive calorie status (better known as WEIGHT GAIN) when eating activity surpasses burning activity.

So, with all of that said, how can you KNOW what calories you are putting in, plus how many calories are going out?

You can guess, you may have analysis performed, or you can calculate this for yourself.

Old school style weight loss invites you to upgrade your personal knowledge about your daily energy intake and output. Today, the technological name for it is, ENERGY BALANCE. Yet, you hardly ever see this term in popular magazines or hyped weight loss informational sources.

Why, because it is far too accurate, factual, and scientific… meaning, it works so well that popular media may no longer be successful at manipulating you emotionally, into trying new products that are guaranteed to fail.

In other words, when you are disarmed from fitness facts and left to outside dependence or guesswork about weight loss concepts, facts, or issues, almost anything starts to sound good.

Yet, old-school weight loss style puts powerful armament back in your possession, by way of simply knowing your fat loss facts. Now, you can not only defend yourself against physical fat attacks, but also against psychological dependence, and lack of courage, confidence, or skill in losing unnecessary body fat.

Losing the amount of fat you desire, plus being in control of your body weight… both are within your grasp, much more securely, just by knowing your own personal calorie consumption.

Not many people can state, with confident accuracy, how many calories they currently eat per day. Can you? And, if so, are your numbers correct? How do you check them?

Here is the combined answer to all of the above. Either you (that is, using your own brain power) or an online calorie counter can assess your daily energy balance.

For example, if you are presently consuming 2,300 calories per day, then you need to consume 1,800 calories per day. This will give you an immediate weight loss of minus 500 calories per day. This is a reasonably safe, personally attainable, and highly recommended amount of daily weight loss. Plus, it allows you maximum control, safety, increased self-confidence, and improved knowledge… more and more, as you continue, and as time progresses.

The American Dietetic Association, The American College of Sports Medicine, The American Council On Exercise, and The American Red Cross still support this very same, reliable weight loss approach and formula. Slow weight loss is best. And, documentation of your fat loss approach and your weight loss results is virtually ALWAYS an excellent tool to use.

A word of caution: Counting calories initially involves some practice on your part. Yet, by no means should you allow the possibility of encountering a difficult start-up period to discourage you… because almost all of this weight loss STUFF (when done rightly) gets easier, not harder.

Return to your recognizable, dependable, and controllable, old-school weight loss approach. Further, allow your own personal calorie counter expertise to become a significant part of your basic, plus upgraded, fat-fighting technique.

Dr John Anne asked:


Possibly there are no foods on earth that contain no calories. There are no foods that can be named as negative calorie foods in the sense that they contain calories with negative valence. However, the overall effect that is produced by these foods in our body is that of ‘negative calorie’. Actually, the negative calorie foods consume more calories during their digestion process than the amount of calories these foods possess.

The body puts more effort in breaking up and processing these foods compared to other foods in terms of calorie consumption. The body needs to work harder for extracting calories from these foods. This is where the term ‘negative calorie’ is concerned. Due to this property, the negative calorie foods possess a remarkable fat burning benefit, and are also referred to as fat burning foods.

Negative Calorie Concept

Say, you are having a dessert that consists of 400 calories. It needs roughly 150 calories to digest the dessert. That means, a net gain of 250 calories will be added to our body as a body fat. Following the same norm, say, for example, you are having a specific kind of foods that consist of 100 calories, whereas 150 calories are needed to digest the foods. That means, you have in effect burnt an extra 50 calories from your body simply by adding these foods in your diet.

The example of negative calorie foods may include the name of broccoli. If you eat 100 gm of broccoli, it provides you 25 calories. However, you need 80 calories to digest 100 gm of broccoli that means you are burning (80-25) = 55 calories from your body fat. Hence, we can easily understand that negative calories foods can be a great addition to weight loss diet program.

Negative Calorie and Weight Loss

In practice, there are a great variety of negative calorie foods available in the market. These foods come with a commitment that if you eat more of these foods, you are able to lose more weight in turn. The specialties of these foods are to offer low calories, and brilliant negative calorie qualities in addition to yummy flavor. Hence, to fight against obesity, you need not depend on fasting any longer. Rather you may eat as much as you can to reduce your weight. Some of these foods may include the names of chili, cucumber, carrot, cauliflower, apple, cabbage, broccoli, asparagus, papaya, pineapple, lemon, beet, grapefruit, zucchini, celery, spinach and many more. In reality, there are more 100 foods that belong to this category.

Possible Side Effects

Considering theoretical aspect, it can be said that if you stick yourself on negative calorie diet only, it may create health hazards in long term. It is mainly due to the reason that these foods are unable to provide certain nutrients inevitably needed by our body. These foods offer plenty of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, but profoundly lack few significant nutrients like fat and protein. Although we need to stay away from fatty foods, but a minimum level of fat consumption is actually needed by our health system. Same thing is true for protein substances. Without the presence of these two substances, many of the bodily functions may not work properly.

However, there are few individuals who prefer to eat fish especially when they are on their negative calorie diet. It is a good decision indeed. Adding fish in your diet along with negative calorie foods may help you to stay healthy even in long term. It offers low calorie consumption in addition to the supply of essential nutrients to the body.

Another important thing is, the individual who is on his negative calorie diet must know his limitation. If we stay aligned with theory, it implies that these types of foods burn calories. Thereby, if the individual continues this diet for a prolonged period of time, it may result in dangerous health hazards including excessively underweight and mortality.

Nora Caterino asked:


When parrots were first keep as pets, people thought they only lived a short time. This was in part because most of the soft billed wild birds only live a few years but also because the parrots they kept die within 10 years or so. This was because the diet these parrots were being fed did not supply the necessary nutrients and the birds basically starved to death very, very slowly. Some succumbed to illness but this was in large part due to the fact that they were malnourished and their bodies couldn’t fight the disease.

Today we know that many of the large parrots can live to be over 100 years of age and even budgies and cockatiels can live to be 20 or more. This is because we now know what to feed our parrots and what to avoid letting them eat.

There are lots of good things to feed your parrot, but there are a few things that you might offer that can kill your beloved feathered friend. The reasons may differ but the results are the same: death.

Foods You Must NEVER Feed Your Parrot

There are only a few things that can actually kill your parrot as far as human food goes. These are:

• Avocado

• Chocolate

• Alcohol

• Seeds of any fruit

• Raw meat

• Uncooked eggs

• Any food that may have mold or may have spoiled (including seeds)

As you can see, this is a very short list.

Foods You Should Limit

This list is a lot longer and contains people foods that won’t kill your parrot quickly. However, over time, these foods will be detrimental to its health. These foods fall into three main categories. Some foods may fall in to several or even all of these categories:

Foods High In Fat

Any food that has a high fat content should be limited. In the wild, parrots eat very little fat; what they do eat is mainly from bugs and other protein sources. Now, this doesn’t mean that you parrot pal can’t have a taste of these foods occasionally. Think of feeding your parrot as if you were feeding a three year old child. You would let a child have a few potato chips even though they are high in fat and salt, but you would limit the quantity. With a parrot, of course, the portions are much, much smaller. If you want to let your parrot have a bite or two of a single potato chip once in a while, there is nothing wrong with this limited quantity. Just do not let it become a habit that every single day the parrot gets potato chips and don’t let the quantity increase over time. Everything in moderation is the practice to be followed for this list – every small amounts if what moderation means here.

Examples of these foods are:

• Potato chips

• Vegetables with lots of butter

• Fried foods

• Cream, whipped or liquid

• Cake icing

• Ice cream

• Fatty meat

• Butter sauces and cream soups that contain a lot of butter

Foods High In Salt

Too much salt isn’t good for people or birds. Of course, since parrots are so much smaller, a little bit goes a long way. Some foods can simply be taken out of the food preparation cycle before salt is added to allow the parrot to enjoy a safe serving. If your parrot enjoys cooked veggies and you salt your food, then by all means take some out before adding salt. Crackers can have the salt scraped off before allowing the parrot to have the food. Many foods can be found in unsalted versions that can safely be shared with you parrot. For example, unsalted nuts are fine but eating a lot of salted nuts is not good for your feathered kid.

Some of the foods in this category are:

• Salted potato chips

• Salted corn chips

• Salted nuts

• Salted vegetables or meats

• Many prepared foods such as microwave entrees

• Salted popcorn

• Bacon, ham and other cured meats

Foods High in Sugar

Parrots can become little junk food junkies is allowed. They seem to love sweets and will insist on having a taste. Most foods with sugar are perfectly safe to allow the parrot to have a bite or even two, but limit the quantities to a very small amount and do not allow these foods every day. These are for the rare occasion rather than daily diet.

Examples of these foods include:

• Cakes

• Cookies

• Candy

• Sweetened juices

• Other sweetened drinks

• Sugary cereal

• Ice cream

Everything Else

Everything else that you eat, you can and should share with your parrot. The more different foods your bird eats, the better its health will be, the more vibrant the feather colors and the happier you’ll be. However, use some common sense about feeding people food to parrots.

Fruits and vegetables are very good additions to the diet, preferably raw but if you parrot prefers some things cooked, that is better than not eating the food at all. Eggs, cheese, pasta, rice, potatoes (other than potato chips or French fries), pizza, noodles, bits of meat or fish and other people foods are great for you parrot. Limit the amount of meat to very small amounts because in the wild, parrots do not get a lot of meat-type protein. Some parrots LOVE a bone with bits of meat left on it to chew on and will even eat the marrow out of the bone.

Of course, fruits and vegetables are the best for the parrots and for us. But variety is the spice of life and everyone wants variety including your parrot.

How is a woman, who wants to lose stubborn fat, supposed to fit in healthy eating and a quality workout when she is so busy she can’t think straight?

How are you honestly supposed to go to the gym and workout for an hour on the treadmill when you barely have enough time to get ready in the morning after you’ve made breakfast for the kids, your husband and hopefully yourself?

How’re you supposed to eat healthy, fat fighting meals when you can barely find the time to make it to the grocery store?

Well, I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that hard, you just have to understand a few things and plan out how you want your day to look.

#1. Fat Loss Workouts.

Let’s tackle the fat loss workouts first. You think that in order to get in an effective workout you have to spend hours every week slaving away on the treadmill or going to “classes” in order to lose that stubborn fat from your stomach, hips, thighs, wings and upper back.

Why?

Have you seen results when you were slaving away for hours every week? Did you attain the body of your dreams by doing that or do you just think that that’s what you’re supposed to do?

I’m sorry, but you’ve been duped. You don’t need to spend hours every week at the gym doing those classes or pounding away on the treadmill.

All you really need to do is find about 10-20 minutes every day to fit in quality workouts, with little interruption, and you’ll be burning fat like crazy.

You don’t even need lots of fancy equipment. You could get away with just using some dumbbells, resistance tubing and your own bodyweight. Just make sure the dumbbells are heavy enough…no “pink dumbbells.”

Here’s an example of a female fat loss bodyweight workout I just gave to a client of mine.

Do these exercises in a circuit format and complete as many of the circuits as you can in 15 minutes.

1A) Bodyweight Squat - 15 reps

1B) Push-up - 10 reps

1C) Hip Extension - 15 reps

1D) Plank - 45 seconds

1E) Forward Lunge - 15 per leg

1F) Push-up - 10 reps

1G) Mt. Climbers - 30 seconds

Do that a few times a week and I guarantee you’ll lose stomach fat, you’ll lose bra fat, you’ll lose the muffin top…you’ll be losing that stubborn fat like crazy!

#2. How to fit in quality meals when you’re busy.

This is a toughie. It’s tough to fit in quality meals when you’re busy and always on the go, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

You just need to learn to plan ahead and know where your weaknesses ar
