Beat Belly Fats with Diet and Exercise

November 2, 2008 by Dheny  
Filed under Diet, Exercise

Fats on the abdomen are unsightly! However, almost everyone develops fats on that area. This is because fats are naturally stored in organs that lie close to the abdomen. The backs and the stomachs are two areas that are prone to fats, so the moment fats build up on your back or on your stomach, it will be difficult to keep them off.

Perhaps you have heard of miracle work out programs, weight-loss pills, and the like, all promising your belly fat to disappear almost instantaneously; perhaps, too, you may have already tried each one, but did any of them work? After a while, the realization hits you, but then you have had already spent a great amount of money on something that does not actually work.
Sometimes, the secret to rid your body of belly fat does not lie on these equipment and strategies; it lies on the food that you eat … and exercise.

Indeed, your diet plays a big role when it comes to losing belly fat. You do not have to starve in order to lose a couple of inches off your abdomen. Actually, you will even be advised against doing this because starving could have more negative effects on your body, as well as on your resolve to lose weight. The thing you need to do if you want to shed off some pounds is to eat smaller portions at a time, with each portion just about the size of your palm. Excessive eating can make you look bloated, so control your cravings and your eating habits.

Now, review the food that you eat on a daily basis. Analyse as to what food groups these foods belong, and see if you are eating well balanced meals everyday. Are fruits and vegetables included in your daily meal plan? They should be, along with water. They should also be taken in generous amounts, but not excessive. You should also avoid eating junk foods. A bag of potato chips has lots of saturated fats which can make you fat. So the next time you do your groceries, keep out of the potato chips lane; this way, you will not be tempted to munch on them during your free time.

One other thing that you need to do in order to trim down the unsightly abdominal fats is to engage in physical activity. This does not mean that you have to go to the gym or something. In fact, just walking around your backyard can make a difference in your weight.
Make it a daily habit to spend at least thirty minutes walking down the street or walking towards your office. In the late afternoon, after work, you can walk your dog to the park — that is considered a form of exercise already.

So, as you have noticed, losing those stubborn belly fats does not have to be expensive at all. By simply making some adjustments in your diet and in your activity, you can lose those abdominal fats in due time. Diet and exercise are two things that can beat abdominal fats.

Top Secret Fat Loss Secret Review

October 4, 2008 by Dheny  
Filed under Diet, Product Review, Weight Loss

Each diet plan, regimen or trend available to health conscious consumers are available in the market. There are so many secret fat loss programs but how do you know what to choose? What makes one different from the other and what exactly will make these techniques work wonders on an individual?

A lady doctor by the name of Dr. Suzanne Gundakunst recently came out with a book entitled Top Secret Fat Loss Secret. Definitely secret filled as the title dictates. The 48th page e-book is available in Pro Elite and Hardcore Plan. The book begins with detailing tips on how to choose a weight loss program that works for you. Even without the book people should by now have grasped the concept that one diet plan or exercise routine will not work for every person. Anyone who thinks otherwise is still probably caught in between diet plans with no results to boast of.  The book is good for beginners and pros alike as it further educates on weight loss programs that fit a person depending on their needs.

Fast weight loss tips are also dished out. The doctor is able to provide detailed, accurate and valid points that pertain to weight loss and getting good results. One of the book’s highlights is what she refers to as a “Metabolic Type Plan”  that explains how to figure out what food types your body likes to burn the most. This allows you to personalize and alter eating habits that will conform to your body’s metabolism so that you lose more fat. Long term the concept is ideal however it is not available for instant weight loss solutions.

Dr. Suzanne Gundakunst in her book further details that the real secret for weight loss is to understand that the human body has its own defense mechanism, which is to build fat around vital organs. Fat is to vital organs as bubble wrap is to fragile items, a simple yet concise analogy. This defense mechanism occurs when the body detects the build up of toxins, fat present in the buttocks, thighs and the midsection according to the doctor are clear indications that your liver is not functioning properly. Detox diets are explained in the book, these regimens help flush out the toxins along with the fat.

Colon parasites according to the book are the most common causes that make us crave for sugar rich food that causes metabolic problems. Metabolism per person varies and the addition of parasites that can hinder it is obviously not a positive note. While most people will probably argue that they do not have parasites there seems to be nothing wrong in the organic remedies and treatments offered in the book regardless of parasitic evidence or the lack of. Prevention is of course better than cure and there is definitely no harm for trying out treatments that will only boost a person’s over all health and wellness.

Over-all, the entire book provides more than a sufficient amount of information that is useful as well as having valid points that cannot be argued against.

Dump fat with alacrity- The “belly shock” way

September 29, 2008 by Dheny  
Filed under Diet, Weight Loss

These are stressful times and women are reeling under the impact just as well. Sometimes it means that they can’t even find time to go to the gym to possibly reduce flab from places they would desperately want to.  For all you ladies, here is something that might give you a reason to smile in such parched times as these.

The “Belly Shock” method is a slick new wave approach to lose as much as 8 pounds in 10 days. For women who don’t like the idea of hitting gym, for may be it brings them face-to-face with the delicate facts about their vital statistics; this is one chance to set things straight. The idea of the “belly Shock” method, as the name itself suggests is to shock the belly beyond reprieve. You have simply got to thrust it on the belly- multiple formats like supplements, diets, cardio and leave no chance for it but to yield.

Let’s take them one by one:

Diet- Eating a proposed mix of black beans and broccoli
Fiber has got to be the crux when we talk of such methods. These foods have a large amount of fiber in them, thus they fetch the name of “Bulk foods”. They are heavy on the stomach and do not give the hungry feeling quite some time after the intake. And yes they have the added benefit of being cheap. Broccoli can be duly replaced with cauliflower.

General recommendation is to go for half a can of black beans during breakfast as well as lunch. Broccoli is advisable at lunch and dinner; half a frozen bag each time. You have grown up on sumptuous junk food and so you can’t root for these insipid fares, but the impact that it has on your weight is manifest in a day or two and then you just gape in new found happiness.

Exercise- Hindu squat pose for as less as 5 minutes

This is not a stretch or strength exercise and does not even include weights; it’s just a simple up and down thing, initiated by oriental ascetics. Thing to keep in mind is that the squatting should be done in an expeditious way. It should be fast. The greater number of squats you can pull in 5 minutes, the better, ideally it should range near a 100. In the initial phases, a 15 seconds rest after 15-20 squats is acceptable. The exercise is in the domain of “tough and very tough” but imagine about the relief it will bring to the belly structure and then you will no more be short on motivation.

Supplement: Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
With the moderate cost of 12 USD, you can’t go much wrong with this either. Though there is still a chance you don’t much succeed with it (a remote chance though) it’s still a plan you won’t want to miss out on. If it works well, as much as 5-8 pounds of flesh loss is there for the taking. You just have to guide yourself through 1 tablespoon, twice a day, between meals. Rest can be comfortably left for the oil to achieve.

Lowering Cholesterol through Smart Food Choices

September 28, 2008 by Dheny  
Filed under Diet

Come let us go and fly a fighter jet! Well, do you think it to be possible unless you know how to fly and learn all about the fighter jets? Absolutely not! Similar is the case when you ask about the smart food choices which can lower the cholesterol level, it is essential to know what cholesterol is!
Cholesterol: Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is produced by our liver. This substance is necessary for our body because of the following reasons:

  • Making vitamin D
  • Making some hormones
  • Building cell walls
  • Creating bile salt that helps in digestion of fats

Danger Ahead: May be this is not the bill board that you see when you enter the shop selling greasy burgers, cheese items and foodstuff which have cholesterol! This is what your body and mind must be thinking that you cannot realize out of the temptation! So what are the dangers that you cannot figure out? Lets us have a look:
“When high level of cholesterol gets accumulated in the body, it gets deposited on the artery walls in the form of a hard substance. This hard substance is known as PLAQUE. This plaque makes the arteries narrow over time and blood flow decreases. This causes the arteries to harden. This affects the blood vessels which supply blood to the muscles of the heart. The end result can be a heart attack and we will gather to pray: ‘may your soul rest in peace’! It is not only the heart; it can also affect the blood flow to the brain (causing stroke), kidneys and intestines”. Danger Ahead is explained!
Way out: Control your temptation!
It is simple! Your body, rather our body can produce enough cholesterol each day so that we can do away with food containing cholesterol. Thus the way out is the magic of ‘LOWERING CHOLESTEROL THROUGH SMART FOOD CHOICES.’ Let us have a look into that.

  • Of the two variants of fiber (soluble and insoluble), the soluble variant is capable of lowering the cholesterol level. Eating 5-10 grams of soluble fiber every day will decrease the LDL (i.e. bad) cholesterol by 5%-10%.
  • Soy Protein has lower cholesterol level than the animal protein (milk, meet, egg etc). Replacing the animal protein with the Soy Protein can help in reducing the cholesterol level. For example, have Soy milk or Soy products which can be substitutes of meat.
  • Nuts, especially almonds when used in replacement of the snacks having saturated fats can help to reduce cholesterol. The nuts have healthy fats which are not very harmful to the body. They also have various nutrients which can be helpful for you!
  • Certain variety of fish like the shellfish has omega-3 fatty acids which are capable of reducing fat in the blood stream. Consumption of these fish can help to reduce the cholesterol level. But, consumption of these fishes should be avoided by pregnant women because they have higher levels of mercury which may be harmful during pregnancy.

You are smart… make your choices smart…!

Weight Loss - Dieting Vs Crash Dieting

September 25, 2008 by Dheny  
Filed under Diet, Weight Loss

“We have stopped believing in revolutions, we have embraced the idea of a coup”

This perhaps is the difference between a diet and a crash diet. A crash diet, as has been researched, is a perilous approach and also plays with our life expectancy in a long run. It’s the fast way to get back to our original shape but short-cuts don’t work in life. The core idea should be healthy eating, that alone is the dietary technique which is bound to succeed in any case. Crash diet teaches us the dangerous path of letting the body do without food or very little food and making it slim over a period of time.

Low-carb diet does not help in reducing any fat; all it does is facilitate water loss, which is a notional weight loss as the body weight comes back when we begin to take proper food again. Low-carb diet only keeps the body away from glycogen build up. Eliminating water thus becomes a defense strategy of the body. The idea is not to minimize the quantity of food intake but to enhance the quality of food that we take. That way, with nutritional eating, we make the body believe that it is amidst a party phase and thus it does not store any fat for posterity. This avoids accumulation of fat around the belly area. When we go for a crash diet, we leave the body as a spent force, taking out all its reserves. This may lead to diarrhea; severe bout of weakness and with the impending water loss, the chances of stroke begins to loom large.

Crash diets take a heavy toll on the major body organs like liver, heart and kidney as it takes away the sheets of lean tissues around them. On eating less than what the body requires, the brain begins to find insufficient oxygen to survive; this causes the body to provide it the necessary oxygen by burning tissues around the organs. The brain does survive but the organs become increasingly susceptible to failure. This is like an irredeemable damage.

Imagine taking a child to a height of 10 meters and asking him to jump. So is it always with crash diets; they suddenly ask the body for a response and more often than not, body fails to cope up with the task. Nutritionists all over the globe believe that there is a prerequisite calorie intake for the body, this includes 30 percent of calorie through fat; once we don’t take this seriously, the body begins to store fat, the metabolism tends to conserve more energy and continually keeps doing so even when we resort later to proper nutritious food. This way we tend to gain weight fast on going back to our initial schedule.

It is very important to understand that crash diets can never solve a problem permanently; all it does is put on us the pressure of organ failures, and increased weight gain on recoursing to initial meal plans. A structure diet, full of nutritious element, on the other hand solves our purpose of beating the flab much better.

What Foods Have Carbs?

September 24, 2008 by Dheny  
Filed under Diet, Weight Loss

Carbohydrates, known as carbs, is currently in the middle of some invisible battlefield and has kicked started a battle between the crusaders of the good utility of carbs and those who hate the carbs! Irony lies somewhere in the form of ignorance. How about, ‘you are on a Pearl Harbor air strike without a fighter plane?’ Does that not sound stupid? It is stupid and with all respect to the lovers and the haters of carbs, it is humbly requested not to get engage in a battle of concoction (where it is not cream and rum but fallacy of truth and nescience).

Step out of the instinct of proving you to be the magical genie of knowledge and learn about the basics of carbs. It is a sheer fun to learn about things that you know but the fallacy is that you do not know. Stepping down through the sentences below, let us together learn about the carbs.
A calorie providing component of the food that we eat is the carb. Carbs are found in various kinds of foods. The rich sources of carbs are: table sugar, pears, whole-wheat bread, nonfat milk, orange juice, apple pie, biscuits, popcorn, green peas, honey, sweet potatoes and others. Our body converts these carbohydrates into glucose (which is the basic fuel that is used by our body). Carbs are the main source of energy that our body uses and is a typical component of almost all the diets globally.
It is important to choose the correct diet that can give you correct amount of carbs along with other nutrients. This is because; extra calories in the diet can lead to accumulation of fat. This happens because the body is unable to utilize the excess carb by breaking it to sugar (glucose and starch). It is good to be selective about the carbs.
Foods rich in carb but having low nutrients or no nutrients are good for nothing (if you are a fitness freak). To be more precise and accurate, avoid foods which are made from sugar, honey or molasses. The food stuff made out of them have poor nutrient contents and hardly have any dietary value! Examples are ice cream, candy, soda, jellies cookies, cakes etc.

Try to consume those foods which have carbs as well as high nutrient content. For instance, if are a consumer of white bread, try to replace it by the brad made out of flour from stone ground whole-wheat. Other foods which are rich in carbs and nutrients are beans, corn, grain products and grains, potatoes and other vegetables. Fruits are also rich in carbohydrates and hence, including them in the diet is always suggested!
There are many myths related to the carbs but, the truth is not what you see. It is better to analyze things by yourself before you take a decision. If somehow you don’t know about the foods to consume, do not make a perception which is has no grounds to stand on!

The Importance of Drinking Enough Water When Dieting

September 22, 2008 by Dheny  
Filed under Diet, Weight Loss

People indulge in various forms of dieting; sometimes structured, sometimes crash diets, and sometimes other real tough regimens. These facilitate weight loss, but weight begins to creep in, once we stop doing them. Contrarily, nutritional diets and planned exercise helps metabolism find its feet properly. Metabolism gets stimulated and begins to burn unwanted calories. Fat belts are released and we get lighter. Similarly, in this quest water assumes a great proportion. The significance of water intake while into a diet is no mean one.

Water is a free entity; promoting the need for high water intake as a means of losing weight would not fetch money for the Weight loss programmers. They know this in the heart of their hearts thus this “pearl of wisdom” becomes part of what the doctors don’t want us to know. Bloggers would root for this technique but bloggers-cum-entrepreneurs would hide this from us. Most of us humans are a dehydrated lot. The brain signals the body to fetch water for itself, the body misfortunately reads this signal as a want for food and thus we begin to gorge on snacks.

Requirement for a person is 8 glasses a day if he has an average BMI (Basal Metabolic Index). Generally we tend to give the body lesser than that, on top of this we keep indulging in regular doses of theine and caffiene, which further dehydrates us forcing us to replenish further water reserves. We again ignore these grave warnings and suffer from reverse effects later.

When we keep away from the practice of drinking water, the body forms reserves of it in our system, this causes a weight gain. Drinking more water, with time, increases the expectation levels of the body, it begins to anticipate more water supplies and hence begins to reserve less amount of it. This leads to weight loss, and this is not a notional weight loss, if the practice is persisted with.

Water mitigates our desire to eat. This causes the body to use up stored fats, and hence become slimmer over a period of time. When we don’t take enough water, we let the fat reservoirs be built. The kidney already gives up owing to lesser and lesser feed of water and finally passes on the responsibility to liver. Liver obviously, as it is not trained in the act, fails to convert fat into energy. Metabolism subsequently suffers a major crunch and our entire lifestyle is affected.

Our bowel movement is also affected with less water intake; it needs no amount of erudition to comprehend that with lesser water intake, lesser amount of water travels into the small intestine, this further result in lesser dilution of our bowels. Passing stool thus becomes a painful process, sometimes also opening avenues for abdominal diseases like constipation and piles. It can even cause frequent rupture in the anal passage. Migraine and kidney duress are known to result from low-water intake just as well.

If all the myriad physiological problems can be abated by keeping a tab on proper water supply , is it a great price to pay for?

The Psychological Problems with Dieting

September 21, 2008 by Dheny  
Filed under Diet, Weight Loss

“Brain is a wonderful servant but a terrible master”

Many times, we have seen that we have got beaten in lives on a psychological plane even before embarking on the real mission. It so happens because we let our brain take the driver’s seat and allow it to preach us anything it wants; we are led astray and lose the necessary will power to achieve our objectives. Dieting is a highly researched, highly debated topic; one which needs full understanding of all its imperatives.

For various drawbacks of medical science or perhaps the lack of efficient plans, most of dietary regimens come a cropper. This can be perhaps because our assessment of our own capacities of discipline is false or may still be that, we tend to ignore what’s right and what’s wrong and just embark on anything that the passing crow suggests. Let’s look into where the brain comes into the picture: In our country obesity has assumed such gargantuan proportions that we become hopeless only by seeing this seething froth of humanity. We assume that if dieting was really a successful mantra, why people, so many of them would be fat at all. It can only be because they have failed the dieting test. Brain makes us believe in the hopelessness of the pursuit. We further slacken, simply because the fear of failure takes centre stage. “On the other sides of our greatest fears, lie our greatest lives.” For the time being, the brain becomes the monster which settles the idea of failure deep inside us.

We get so hopeless that we begin to harbor futile feelings. “The exercise regimen is far too tough”, we tell ourselves, and that we are bound to slacken midway into it. Moreover the brain carves dirty pictures of toiling all day; asceticism in diet forms, rigorous discipline in exercises, where would the time to live a fun-filled life be. This haunts as humans don’t accept change. They would prefer sitting on a bum sore rather than changing posture. In this case, a thought of change in lifestyle breeds fear in them, they don’t want to let go of the fun element even if by their own admission, it is going to be short-lived.

Another issue which forms the crux of psychological myopia is peer-pressure. We believe that changing lifestyles and taking up ascetic proportions of life would only make us an object of their ridicule, a butt of their constant jokes. In a party, they would make us outcasts, and slowly begin to keep us out of their junk gang. But is this all actually worth considering? With time, we will be the people exuding greater vitality, health and a general radiance in life; something they won’t be able to boast of. One day in not so distant future, they will be the ones undergoing the same acid tests (obesity catches sooner or later). They will be the ones fighting the battle with their brains.

Brain is an organ, humans are an entity. No situation is more overwhelming than man himself. Let’s begin to act, keeping the brain behind the tapestry.

Healthy Dieting the Vegetarian Way

September 20, 2008 by Dheny  
Filed under Diet

We are the sum total of choices that we make. Today, perhaps more than ever, we have become our own by-products. We are amidst a world that is fast spinning itself into a treacherous trajectory. Lives that we live are stressed beyond comparisons, and overall, in everything that we do, the impulse reigns supreme; we live in the moment, never envisaging how the result of that moment may fold out. If these statements look like coming from far away, let’s try to peek into our dietary habits for instance.

A high proportion of what we eat today is junk. These foods are either undesirable to the body or unwanted by the brain. Meat, meat products all weave a fabric of poor nutrition around us. Let’s take a look into how it might fold out if we decide to go the whole hog the vegetarian way.

Vegetarianism is a concept where we take all the blessings of earth; fruits, vegetables and so on and adopt it into our lifestyles, added to this is the time-tested benefits of dairy products, those which effect a balance within us and lets the metabolism drift towards sweet pacification. This country, more than any time in the past, has begun to have a liaison going with meat, fish and poultry products; not only are these food the main reasons for continuing obesity but also the chief wreckers of metabolism. They create undesirable proportions of heat inside our body. This way the body gets to a point of hormonal imbalance, letting in a number of diseases; increased amount of uric acid enough for kidney failure, and cardiac-frights are just few of the side-effects.

Humans being the omnivores that they are can easily devour any kind of food that they get; but just imagine the sweet privilege of a vegetarian diet; firstly they give us every chance of keeping a balanced metabolism. This helps us in pushing away obesity. More importantly, such balance helps us to maintain a peaceful body, at sync with itself; one which does not lose out to chronic diseases. Vegetarianism is based on such healthy food precepts that it can hardly go wrong. Vegetables are super-rich in vitamins, minerals, and fibers of all kinds. They give the body all the nutritional balance required for the proper working out of the organs, so is it with fruits, though they lack as much fibers. Dairy product in moderate quality is considered just as good for providing necessary fat to the body organs. When our stomach sees there is nutritional food coming in, it tends to believe that there is a party-phase going on and hence does not store any fat as a future shield. This way obesity never comes to the picture.

We do not mean to argue over a Vegan diet, the most inflexible offshoot of vegetarianism which prohibits usage of even milk and other dairy products but there can be an honest and step-by-step method of turning healthily vegetarian. Perhaps we can make do with avoiding red meat first and then with time, may be, we get over poultry and finally avert fish from our intake. Let us show that we care about ourselves, perhaps vegetarianism can serve to make us counterpoints of our existences.

Lose Weight without Exercising or Dieting - Change Your Lifestyle

September 18, 2008 by Dheny  
Filed under Diet, Weight Loss

“Life offers simple truths, we look for gaudy plans”

If I were to suggest that there is a way, a real big way of losing out on fat. People would tend to assume me as a Guru- prescribing in a new bottle age old potions. They know perhaps as much as me or even more, the paths of workouts and diets to salvage the body from obesity. But now if I were to tell them that this was not what I intended as a measure of losing weight, 9 out of 10 would vanish from my earshot, perhaps one will take the pain to listen what I involved in my daily regimen to lose weight. He of all of them will perhaps find a seed of wisdom that I can boast of, after immaculate practice. Through the arched openings of my experience, here is a mantra that I wish to reveal to all.

People tend to believe that diets, crash diets, belly shocks are few of the great ways to hamper the body fat, and so are various exercises. About the dietary practices it can be verily said, that most tend to flop in a big way; perhaps because the structure of diet is such that it harbors mismanagement of weight. Crash diets bring along the danger of organ failures and serious obesity relapse.

Low-carb diet only causes notional weight loss. Water is chiefly lost and not fat; moreover there is the great peril of stroke in case of not replenishing the body with proper rehydration. Even structured diets sometimes fail as they may not suit a person. Exercises are great ways of losing weight and shaping our body. Be they cardio, or strength training or weight training. They are all rigorous disciplines and sometimes need a power of will above the ordinary.

This then brings me to the point which I have to share with you all. If we understand the needs of our metabolism, we can safely come to a point where providing them with enough nutrients will win the issue for us. Everything must be practiced in moderation and so is it for foods around. Balanced nutrition helps us to keep all our organs in great shape and the body itself understands that there is no need for storing fat for further use as there is no famine-phase around the corner. This way we keep away from the grip of obesity.
Moreover simple workouts is all that I can preach, they may sound simple but are very effective. How many times do we hope against hope that we will take stairs and are still lured by elevators? How many times do we take the pain of taking our dog’s on long walks? If we muster the will just to enforce these small things, we will win half the battle. Let’s run to our attics ten times a day, when we can pick the newspapers in one go, let’s go the grocery stores often enough when going once fulfills the cause. Let’s forget the remote revolution and get on the feet every time we want to swap the channels.
With time we will be able to swap fat with abs.
