Please, any good suggestions?
Losing more than about 2 pounds a week is dangerous and unhealthy.People think diets work mainly because the first 10-15 pounds are lost in the first week and it s all just water weight that they put back on when their body gets hip to what s going on. Most sudden changes in diet will produce the same effect as the latest fad diets, low-carb diets, caveman diets, sugar free diets, Etc.The key is to boost metabolism and make gradual changes to your eating habits that you are capable of maintaining most of the time for the rest of your life. The hardest change, and most difficult for many, is to reduce the portions and increase the number of meals. Few people maintain the habit due to cravings.What works is very simple when you break it down. Are you consuming more calories than your body uses? If so, you will gain weight. If you consume less calories than your body uses, you will lose weight. It s all based on metabolism and has a lot to do with how much calories your body needs. The higher your metabolism, the more calories it needs to burn to do the same activity. The lower your metabolism, the fewer calories it needs to burn. That means if you consume a lot of calories and have low metabolism, the calories you don��t expend get stored as energy (fat) for later.The reason calorie reduction diets don t work is because people don t stay on diets for the rest of their lives or their metabolism catches on to what is going on. Sudden decreases and sporadic changes in calorie consumption (crash and yoyo dieting) is not only bad for weight loss, but also bad for your general health and wellbeing.The true key to losing weight and keeping it off is to boost your metabolism with exercise. Not only does it boost metabolism, you also burn calories while doing it.The more muscle you have, the more energy you burn just sitting there. Muscle weighs a lot more than fat, but is much leaner, and for several reasons allows you to eat more without storing the energy.One more point: the two most common problems I see with people s diets is that they are eating overly processed foods with supplementation that actually causes more nutritional deficiencies, which leads to food cravings and addictions. It s a vicious cycle and one has only to watch commercials to know that companies like Pfizer and Kellogg��s have multi-billion dollar industries that profit from keeping us this way. In fact, the majority of conditions Big Pharma is pushing drugs on us for (depression, sleeping disorders, digestive problems) can be drastically improved and often cured with exercise and nutrition. A quick look at who democratic and republican party s top corporate campaign contributors are should give you quick insight as to why the FDA, USDA, and several medical and pharmaceitucal associations represent the interests of those corporations instead of people like us.I wrote the above article myself but highly recommend a dietician s videos by the name of Natalie because she is a great person and has done a lot of non-profit contributing and her link is below.http://nutritionbynatalie.com/http://www.shapeup.org/index.phphttp://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.asp��
There is a lot of bad information out there. It has made America the fattest society ever. But it makes food companies and diet companies rich. Learn why black coffee, lean meat, salt and non-fat yogurt are so fattening. The book, Intuitive Eating, says If you tell yourself that you can t or shouldn t have a particular food, it can lead to intense feelings of deprivation that build into uncontrollable cravings and, often, bingeing. Nourish your body thin, instead of starving it fat. Learn the fastest way to lose weight.Never cut carbs, fats and calories. Eat foods made by nature, not man-made foods designed to make you fat and addicted to food. Which has more calories: a plain potato or one with a healthy fat like olive oil? The latter. Which is more fattening? The former. How can this be? The fat slows down the calories going into the blood (see glycemic load and glycemic index) making it less fattening. It is not about how many calories but how fast they enter the blood. But plant foods have fiber. Fiber provides no calories, is filling and also slows the calories entering your blood.http://www.phifoundation.org
Eat less. Eat healthy food. Do both cardio exercises and weight training.
rub preperation h on your stomach, put a trash bag over your body, and run sprints.
