The Big Two For Permanent Weight Loss

The Big Two For Permanent Weight Loss

Health experts and weight loss gurus agree, a physical activity that raises one’s heart rate, and, most importantly, that is enjoyed, is the best bet for losing weight and keeping it off. Exercise, along with healthy eating remains as the reliable plan for shedding extra inches and becoming the slimmer you that is truly desired. Some fad diets and specialized eating plans do work, but for results that last more than a few weeks, one must adopt these two new habits.

Dancing, is a painless, proven and powerful way to reap exercise’s benefits, actually being enjoyable. Dancing has a number of values. Foremost, dancing moves muscles while one is not even purposely trying to move them. Excess fat deposits are loosened and the heart beats per minute are increased, creating a heart and lung strengthening aerobic state of intensity and duration. The greatest benefit is that all this activity sheds pounds. Also, music sends positive messages to your brain, an essential component of lasting weight loss. Plus, all types of dancing, from Rumba to singles’ club dancing to country line dancing, is social, another mainstay of permanent positive mental images bringing about good self esteem and thus, weight loss. If shame keeps you from the dance floor, please know that virtually any movement is accepted these days. You can think of clubs or lessons as your personal gym. The more the attendance at your gym, the greater and quicker the results.

Eating healthy does matter. Downing a jumbo candy bar a day, even while vigorously dancing each night, will defeat any weight loss progress that is made. Eating healthy means moderate amounts of staple foods, like meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruits, eggs, nuts, whole grains and dairy products. Any diet that deprives the body of this varied nourishment is not a long-term solution. It is simply a short-term plan to, perhaps, get one started only. Consuming moderate amounts of these basic, readily available foods, will not promote weight gain. Your organs will reap the rewards, as will your bones, blood, skin, teeth, hair, nails and mind. One dances better when they are mentally-strong and healthful too.…

The Problem With Laissez Faire in Obesity

The Problem With Laissez Faire in Obesity

With Obesity rate likely to hit 40% of the UK population by 2030 (The Lancet, 26th August 2011) can we really afford to be so Laissez faire about intervention?

All informed opinion and knowledgeable opinion accept this is a ticking time bomb in terms of lives lost and the inevitable cost of remedy to the tax payer. A likely increase of around A�2 billion per annul by 2030.

Countless cookery programs, yet the UK population eats more ready meals and junk food than ever before, what causes this inertia? Why is being healthy so difficult?, Why is healthy food such a turn off? Why do we think healthy food means rabbit food?

What is the answer?

Should we tax junk food, ready meals or fast food?

Do we make fresh produce more cheaply available?

Successive government have been afraid of taking leadership and decisive action in fear of being labelled a nanny state, if they are too prescriptive about dietary guidelines. Yet I believe that is exactly what it’s going to take begin to tackle this growing problem.

We’ve allowed the problem to manifest itself firmly within our eating culture, and we’re relying on drugs and surgery as the cure, instead of investing in the education to prevent the trend from taking hold in the first place.

It is my opinion we should teach our children food chemistry and the effects of food on our biological processes, and daily functions, going right back to basics. Infact embark on a practical teaching curriculum that is far more radical than we have ever taught in our school before. We should teach simple cookery to every child as part of the curriculum to ensure children have life skills to prevent dietary related illnesses. Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated, it’s relaxing and very satisfying. Clients come to our cookery classes and say “why have we waited till this age to learn the fundamentals about food and the importance of nutrient values from a private cookery school for a few privileged people instead of being taught this at school, it’s so fundamental to life.”

Is it our parents responsibility to teach this in the home? For example we have made sex education compulsory in schools to promote safe sex and reduce teenage pregnancy, Should we attach equal importance to healthy eating. Is healthy and nutritious eating as important as teaching the process of plant regeneration and photosynthesis. Why don’t we teach our children the value and nutrient content of everyday food and the effects of food chemistry, for example the effects of sugar in the blood and energy conversion and the related effects on diabetes, instead of focusing on co2 and hydrogen chloride. Food chemistry has a far greater practical application in real life to all student than just those who wish to take up chemistry as a career choice.

As the austerity measure take effect and we feel the pinch of government spending perhaps it is …

Cystic Acne – Healthy Skin Tips

Cystic Acne – Healthy Skin Tips

Healthy skin tips are really healthy living tips. If our body is healthy, our skin should be healthy. What do we need to do to be healthy? I think most of us know the answer: eat mostly healthy food, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. This will result in a healthy body. Pretty simple really, but not so easy to do.

Eat Mostly Healthy Food

You do not have to be a fanatic, but you do need to be aware of what you are putting into your body and what effect that has on its overall health and the health of your skin. It is reasonable to think that if you are feeding your body good, nutritious food you are giving it the minerals and vitamins it needs. These nutrients are adding to the health of your whole body. As your body’s largest organ, your skin must benefit from that.

If you do not know what healthy food is, then you can find out with a little research. Here is a list to help you get started:

Fresh fruit and vegetables – particularly brightly coloured vegetables to clear your system of toxins

Whole grain breads – whole meal or multigrain

Lean meat – chicken, beef, lamb

Grains such as oats, which are cheap and nutritious

Nuts – walnuts and almonds

Low GI foods – get a GI list and check them out

Green tea – it is full of anti-oxidants to help clean your system, which will help clean your skin

Just as important is a list of foods to avoid:

All food with a high sugar content – this adds toxicity to your body and helps perpetuate a cystic acne environment

Highly refined food like white flour and its products – white bread, cake and pastries

Fast foods that are cooked in trans fats – and that is most of them. Trans fats are the killer fats as they contribute to heart disease and clog up your system

Get Regular Exercise

Some people are handicapped by physical injuries or disabilities, which could stop them from exercising, but this does not apply to most of us. If exercise is new to you, make it easier to start by doing it in easy stages and doing something that is easy to do. Start walking for 10, 15 or 20 minutes at a time. If you are up to it, try jogging. If you have a swimming pool or live near one, go for a swim. If you find it too boring to exercise alone, join some friends or go to a gym. The key is to do something and do it regularly.

Get Enough Sleep

If you are eating healthy food and getting regular exercise, you should sleep well. If you are not, then you need to find ways of preparing yourself for sleep and developing habits to help you sleep. There is plenty of information on this. If you have an underlying medical problem …

Is a Healthy Food Option Sabotaging Your Diet?

Is a Healthy Food Option Sabotaging Your Diet?

Wondering why the weight isn’t coming off? Consider this – you might be unknowingly interfering with your goal, even if your resolve to shed those extra pounds is rock solid. This according to new research just seeing a healthy food option on a menu actually tempts you to chose a fattening food instead.

It doesn’t make sense, but according to researcher Gavan Fitzsimons, PhD, we’re all subject to what he calls “vicarious goal fulfillment”.

Before you dismiss the idea entirely, consider that while fast food places and vending machines have more healthy options than ever before, analysts point out that the sales of the fast food industry aren’t coming from those healthy items, but rather from the sales of calorie laden staples like burgers and fries.

We see the salad, but order the value meal instead.

This latest bit of research supports the idea that once we feel we’ve done something right, even if that’s just thinking about choosing a healthy option from a menu, we feel entitled to a reward.

“We’ve found that the presence of a healthy item leads people to choose the one that is the least healthy on the menu,” Fitzsimons tells online health resource WebMD.

“Just seeing the healthy item and considering it makes you feel you’ve done your duty. It’s crazy, but it’s human.”

Here’s how the team uncovered this bit of self-deception we feed ourselves.

Participants in a study who’d scored high on measures of self control and food were asked to choose a food from one of two menus with pictures.

Half of the subjects saw a menu with only unhealthy choices like fries, chicken nuggets and a baked potato loaded with butter and sour cream. The other half of the subjects saw the same menu, but with the addition of a side salad.

When the salad was a choice, some subjects did choose it, but many more of those most self disciplined participants selected an unhealthy option. Even more curious, the effect was strongest among those who normally have lots of self-control.

For whatever reason, consumers seem to have the tendency to ease off on the self control when something healthy is an option.

Its as if they feel the goal has been met just by seeing, and perhaps briefly considering, the visual. This appears to happen outside our conscious awareness.

In other variations of the study, participants also made unhealthy choices. Most choose a calorie laden bacon cheeseburger, chicken sandwich and fish sandwich over a healthier veggie burger. For desserts, they picked chocolate covered Oreos, original Oreos and golden Oreos against cookies labeled as only having a 100-calorie.

One thing that could help with vicarious goal fulfillment is to constantly remind yourself of your intentions.

Anything that helps you stay in control and hold off on gratification will also be a plus for keeping you on track.

For some, wearing a rubber band on the wrist and snapping it before ordering keeps …

Raw Banana Avocado Ice Cream

Raw Banana Avocado Ice Cream

Many health conscious people are trying to incorporate more raw foods into their diets. They do this for many different reasons, including the preservation of enzymes and important nutrients. Most health care professionals agree that people need more fruits and vegetables in their daily diets, and eating them raw is a natural choice.

I try to eat foods that will contribute to good health. However, I will not give up flavor in my quest for healthy foods. Years ago I stumbled upon a single ingredient recipe for a banana ice cream substitute. It involved simply freezing a banana and pur?�eing it in the food processor. The author of the recipe promised it would taste like soft serve banana ice cream. It didn’t.

The resulting concoction had a watery taste that didn’t mimic ice cream in any real way. It was similar to the taste of a banana popsicle, but had no creaminess to it. It wasn’t bad; it just wasn’t what was promised.

I began to wonder how I could keep this recipe as healthy as it was while making it taste a bit more like ice cream. I tried adding almond milk, coconut cream and a few other creamy products. Nothing gave it the right texture and taste. That is until I added an avocado. I know it sounds weird, but avocados are loaded with good monounsaturated fatty acids. These good fats combine with the banana to create a creamy, tasty treat your taste buds won’t believe. Top it with chopped nuts for an even more satisfying snack.

This is what you will need for four servings:

4 very ripe bananas

1 ripe hass avocado

2 teaspoons freshly ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

Directions:

Cut the bananas into one inch slices. Put into a sealable bag and freeze for at least twelve hours. Transfer the bananas to the food processor work bowl, fitted with a multi-purpose blade. Let sit at room temperature for five minutes to slightly thaw. Process until smooth. Add the avocado and spices (if desired) and continue to process till well combined. At this point it will be the consistency of soft serve ice cream and can be served as is. If you want a firmer texture, return it to the freezer for 30 minutes. Do not allow to completely freeze or it will become too hard. You can find the detailed recipe with pictures at FOOD PROCESSOR REVIEWS, as well as other recipes designed to help you get the most out of your food processor.…

Kids and Sugar Effects

Kids and Sugar Effects

Excess sugar has been linked to a variety of health problems in kids today. No only do increases in sugar, automatically lead to unnecessary levels of carbohydrates, but these carbs are not paired with the fiber necessary to minimize a sugar surge.. This increased amount of sugars in a daily diet can lead to a host of health problems such as heart disease and diabetes. Increased sugars in the body make the liver work harder and leads to elevated cholesterol levels. Kids that eat less sugar will be healthier and less likely to develop problems with obesity.

Retain Daily Energy

Sugars that are contained in foods such as cereal are processed and not natural. Processed sugars do not provide any health benefits as they cause the digestive system to work harder. Any energy that is gained by kids eating foods with high levels of processed sugars is quickly lost.

Increase in Productivity

Kids will have more energy when less sugar is being consumed. The less work that the body will need to do to process sugars in the body means that more is available. This energy is then available to use by kids to pay attention in school.

Normalize Blood Sugar Levels

Reducing the amount of high sugar cereals prevents a spike in your blood sugar levels. This increase is the cause of sluggish behavior that occurs during the day. When your body does not need to normalize blood sugar levels, more resources are available to keep you alert and active.

Control of the Diet

The reduction of sugar can occur gradually over time. You will begin to notice that your kids no longer need large amounts of food and may be content to have small snacks during the day. A smaller amount of food that is eaten can also lead to weight loss.

Decreased Dental Problems

The deterioration of your kid’s teeth is a direct result of eating too much sugar. Reducing the sugar that is eaten will also reduce the amount of cavities and other associated dental problems.

Less Likely to Get Sick

Reducing the amount of sugar that is eaten will result in the decrease in heath issues. You may see over time that your kids get sick less frequently. Kids that are less sick will be more productive and happy.

Additional Information

Reducing the availability of sugary energy drinks will prevent the consumption of sugars that will lead to health problems. Drinks available to kids in schools no longer include soda pop. This is a big source of processed sugars that are consumed by young kids.…

3 Vacation Rental Etiquette Tips

Staying in vacation rentals, such as North Carolina beachfront rentals, can be quite pleasurable if you maintain proper etiquette. Take a look at this list of three vacation rental etiquette tips.

1. Clean Up After Yourself

Before you leave your vacation rental, clean up all the rooms in which you resided. In the kitchen, wipe down the counters, microwaves, ovens, and stovetops, sweep the floors, and throw away any trash. You can vacuum the floors everywhere else in your rental and use a duster to brush dirt and debris off the various pieces of furniture within it. The property owner will be pleased to come back to a home that is neat and clean.

2. Reposition All Objects

Make sure every piece of furniture in each part of your rental is placed in its original position before you vacate the premises. Some people will take pictures of every room as soon as they arrive; these pictures act as guides they can use when they need to rearrange things before leaving. Note that it is normal to move some objects around in your rental, but you should refrain from making drastic changes since you will have to return all objects back to their former position.

3. Make Note of Any Issues

Accidents happen. If you or one of your family members accidentally break an appliance or damage a piece of furniture, you must report the issue to the property owner so that he or she can arrange to have the issue fixed before someone else decides to rent the space. Some owners prefer you report problems electronically while others are comfortable with you leaving a handwritten note. Not notifying a property owner of problems could prevent you from renting with him or her ever again.

Take good care of your vacation rental. Treat it like you would your own home.

5 Easy Steps For a Healthier Diet

The increasingly stressful way of life that we make ourselves go through makes it difficult to manage a healthier diet. This article will teach how to manage a good eating schedule, even if you are always on the run.

1 – Eat a small portion of food every two hours. Even if you need to be at the office for several straight hours, you should be able to manage easting a piece of fruit or a light snack every two hours.

Why Canteen Seating Is an Important Part of the School

Why Canteen Seating Is an Important Part of the School

Canteen Seating in the School

It may be overlooked, but the canteen is a very important place within the school and it is therefore essential that the canteen seating provided is of high quality. The canteen is often where students buy their hot meal or where they choose to sit if they have bought a packed lunch. More schools and colleges in the UK are trying to promote healthy eating and good nutrition so it is vital that there is a friendly and comfortable place to sit to back up this message. The right canteen seating can attract students to the dining area. If you choose hard back and dull seating it is likely you will have a very empty area. Lunch time allows the students to relax with friends and fuel up before carrying on with the rest of the day and providing them with an attractive canteen can actually increase productivity.

The Aim of the School Canteen

If students don’t bring their own lunch, the school canteen is where they look to. It is often the case that these students cannot leave the premises between 9am and 3pm so it is important that the canteen offers a wide range of food and complies with food safety and hygiene regulations. The canteen is there to:

Provide students with a variety of food and drinks – mainly healthy options

Offer a friendly environment to enjoy lunch time

Offer special dietary requirements for some students

Adhere to food safety and hygiene in preparing, cooking and serving food

Ideas for Brightening Up the Space

If the current canteen is dull and dated, it is worth acting upon this quickly. Previous research has shown that poor quality canteens have an impact on the way children view school food. Get the school excited about the makeover of the canteen by informing pupils and sending out letters to parents. The school should also look at the menu on offer and look at the best way of making it as healthy as possible. Students want to get away from the stress of the classroom whilst they are enjoying their lunch so make sure the canteen is bright and the atmosphere is relaxed. The attitude of the staff working in the canteen can also make the difference. A great way of deciding what the design of the new canteen will look like is by asking students. Carry out some research and find out what they would like to see!…

Networking Your Way to An Early Death?

Networking Your Way to An Early Death?

Networking is an inevitable part of our careers nowadays. It’s a very valuable part too – mostly. I have written elsewhere about how to network your way to a healthy life: that is, how to use the principals of networking and apply to healthy food and lifestyle choices.

But networking in itself isn’t that healthy. During the past couple of months I’ve attending a lot of networking functions: breakfasts, coffee catch-ups, cocktail evenings and lunches – many, many lunches. And while it is possible to network your way to a healthy life, it’s also possible to network your way to an unhealthy one.

Where are the networking healthy eating options?

Case one: a networking breakfast where participants were required to pre-order their selection. Nothing was even REMOTELY healthy. There was, however, a place to make special dietary requests. While I’m pretty sure the request was intended more for things such as “gluten free” and “lactose intolerant” I actually requested “some kind of healthy option? Fruit?”. When I arrived I was instructed to just select whatever I liked from the cake cupboard. I went for the choc chip hazelnut biscuit. At least I would be getting some omega3!

Case two: a semi-regular lunch event I attend at the same upmarket CBD hotel. The meals are always a bit the same – a small serving of protein, a small serving of vegetables (eg three asparagus spears) and a LARGE serving of potatoes and white bread. I don’t like potatoes and I’m not a huge fan of white bread either. So on my last visit I requested “No potatoes please. Could I either have sweet potato or just extra green vegetables?” The request was ignored so I ate the potatoes (I was hungry!). But apart from my potato issues, the almost tiniest serving of protein imaginable and a serving of vegetables that resembled a garnish? Networking lunches are not helping my healthy life!

Case three: for some reason I thought this event would be different. Admittedly there was a form to make special dietary requests but, because the whole organization had a different “vibe” to some of the others, I didn’t bother filling it in. “These are all high-exec professional women, surely the menu couldn’t be that unhealthy?” I thought. Yes and no. Certainly they didn’t serve alcohol, something I didn’t actually notice until I went home. Whilst alcohol can be a good social lubricant, it is just empty calories. So a big tick besides this group for that. However, the morning tea option was just cakes and pastries!!! Balance that tick with a big cross.

I could go on, but I won’t. You get the idea. You know what I’m talking about if you’ve been to any of these events. One of the biggest (perceived) issues for most people in terms of making healthy choices is a lack of time. When someone else is preparing the meal for us, this isn’t an issue. When attending …

Have Your Chocolate and Eat it Too With These Healthy Food Tips

Have Your Chocolate and Eat it Too With These Healthy Food Tips

You can go from unhealthy fat filled eating to tasty healthy eating by changing just a few little things. You will not sacrifice flavor and no one will ever know you are doing it. In fact, what I am about to reveal are my top secrets that I have hidden from my family for years!

Change Your Cheese

I love cheese. In fact, the more cheese a dish has, the more I like it. One of my favorite dishes is a five-cheese manicotti. Now, even with my changes, it is not the healthiest dish. However, it is a whole lot better than what it was before I started!

Cheese is simple to change. When you go to your grocery store, you will find shredded cheese in packages. You will also find them in whole blocks. I prefer the whole blocks because they are not as dried out, but it does not matter.

What you need to look for is the cheese that says 2% or low fat. These cheeses taste the same, especially when used in recipes. This cuts down your fat tremendously. If you have ever done Weight Watchers, you will notice this in most of their recipes.

Change Your Chocolate

I love chocolate. I can eat it all day and all night long. I could not give up chocolate even if I wanted to. However, I have found some healthy alternatives to eating chocolate that are awesome.

First, there is Jell-O Pudding Snacks. You can buy the sugar free versions and they have half the calories. Plus, they are delicious. My favorite is the chocolate vanilla swirl.

For ice cream lovers, Weight Watchers has some to die for ice creams. They have my childhood favorite drumstick and my adult favorite Toffee. They are low in calories (1 Weight Watcher Point) and are oh so good.

Yummy Yogurt With Half the Calories

You have probably seen the commercials where the lady talks about Key Lime Pie, Cheesecake and such. She goes on and on about how she lost weight eating these delicious treats. It is true!

When you compare the light yogurt to the regular yogurt, you cannot taste the difference. My favorites, strawberry banana and banana cream pie, come in both the light and regular version. I bought them both and did a side-by-side comparison. I could not tell the difference and neither could my kids!

Chocolate Pie Galore

I make a chocolate pie that everyone gobbles up. It is simple and no one ever knows I use “healthy” ingredients. I take a light graham crust; fill it with sugar free Jell-O Pudding mixed with half a tub of light Cool Whip. Then I top the pie with the rest of the Cool Whip. Last, I add a handful of the mini chocolate chips. No one can taste the difference and by using the mini chips, you get the yumminess of chocolate chips at a smaller …

Growing Organic Vegetables – My Herbs Are Ready to Harvest – What Next?

Growing Organic Vegetables – My Herbs Are Ready to Harvest – What Next?

You might have just begun to start growing organic vegetables and herbs or you could possibly be an experienced grower already. There exists one question that seems to appear time and time again.

What do I do with all those herbs?

In the next few paragraphs I will cover some helpful tips for your organically grown herbs.

Most people will use their herbs in a dry form. Always try to harvest your herbs as early as possible in the day. You simply need to use a sharp knife or a pair of garden scissors to harvest your herbs and make sure that the stems are quite long.

1: Cleaning Your Herbs

Wash the herbs, but remember they are herbs and not some steel fork. So be gentle with them and once washed put them on a piece of kitchen towel or a clean cloth. The herbs really need to dry out once washed so the towel needs to be absorbent so that all the water can drain from your herbs.

2: Drying Your Herbs

Once all the surplus water has been removed you then want to tie them together in bundles with a bit of string. Then hang the small bundles up in an area out of the way but if possible moisture free. I find that the airing cupboard can be a good spot as its always slightly warm and of course dry. Should you be hanging them near a window which has direct sunlight this will also be a great place. Just remember however, that the sunlight will take some of the natural colour from your herbs.

3: Making Your Herbs Ready For Use

Get yourself some glass or stone jars and once the herbs are completely dried out it is easy to crush them into the jars. I prefer to not use plastic as I always feel this effects the flavor of the herbs. Your herbs once dried will last for at least nine to twelve months.

4: Freezing Your Herbs

As an alternative you can also freeze your herbs. To do this simply harvest and wash as above but when drying you should make 100 percent certain there is no excess moisture. So keep turning them on the paper towel until completely dry. This is very important for the freezing process.

To get the best flavor from the herbs when frozen keep the flowers and leaves on the stems. Once they are dry it is easy to put them into freezer bags and place them into the freezer. One point to note here is to put a label or mark the freezer bag with the date. Herbs which have been frozen would be best used within six months of freezing them as this is when they have their best flavor.

To use the frozen herbs from the freezer just flake off the herbs between thumb and forefinger after which return all the unused …

Mall Foods to Avoid Eating

Mall Foods to Avoid Eating

When we are shopping or browsing around the mall with friends or family we may get thirsty and grab a drink without even thinking about what is in it. Well, we need to start thinking about it. The highest calorie mall drink is a Jamba Juice Peanut Butter Moo’d. This drink contains 770 calories and 108 grams of sugar. It will not only add empty calories to your body and make you feel run down later, but you will have consumed half of your daily calories just by drinking it.

Parents! Quick! Learn How To Get Your Child Eating Healthy!

Parents! Quick! Learn How To Get Your Child Eating Healthy!

If this idea is new to you, it may take a little time for both you and your child to adjust to eating healthy. Whatever you do, do not restrict food. Children who have their food restricted often end up heavier, because they become anxious about food and eating. Anxiety about not getting enough to eat will often lead a child to overeat whenever he or she gets a chance.

So, what is your child’s reaction going to be to eating healthy? “I don’t like fruit and veggies; I want a cheeseburger, fries and a candy bar.”

• Don’t panic it… Give it time. Food preferences are slow to change, but they do change over time. Making a new behavior a habit usually takes 3 months or more. I am going through this pain currently as we speak, but it’s getting easier to eat and like healthy foods.

• Take it slow. Your child doesn’t have to give up their favorite foods completely. For instance, cut out 50% of (1) of your child’s unhealthy habits, such as sugary drinks and replace with water or low-fat milk; two weeks later, choose another unhealthy habit to cut down 50%, such as unhealthy snack and replace with fruits, veggies or nuts; 2 weeks later, do the same thing, again and again. Make your changes small, and give your child time to adjust.

• Eat together as a family as often as possible and keep family meals pleasant and positive. Avoid making comments about the amount or type of food your child eats. Pressure to eat actually reduces children’s acceptance of new or different foods.

• Make healthy food choices for your family’s meals, and occasionally, ask your child what healthy meal they want.

• Make meal times fairly predictable. Eat at around the same times every day and always at the table, even for snacks. If dinner needs to be early to avoid the pre-dinner snacking, then do it!

• If your child does need a snack, make sure to have plenty of healthy snack foods on hand, such as fresh and dried fruit, raw vegetables, fat-free or low fat yogurt, fat-free or low fat cottage cheese, whole grain crackers, air-popped popcorn, nuts, seeds, cold chicken and fish, and slices of lean cooked cold meat. Let your child decide which snack they want. Keep in mind to limit the snack before their meal, as you want them hungry… it easier to get them to eat something they don’t like a lot when their hungry!

• Drink water or low-fat milk instead of sugary and high calories drinks. Examples include carbonated sodas, juices sweetened with sugar, iced teas, flavored milk, flavored sweetened waters, sweetened hot beverages such as hot chocolate, energy drinks, and sports drinks. Even watch-out for fruit and vegetable juices; when taken in excess, the juice contributes to a higher calorie intake. If you choose to include fruit and/or vegetable juice in …

Buying Healthy Food

Buying Healthy Food

Much like anything else, buying healthy food needs to be carefully planned and thought of. You don’t wake up one day and just decide to buy a new car or a new house, right? There should be plan. You might wake up one day wanting to own a new car or house, but there are a lot of things to consider. If you’re married, you’ll have to consult your spouse. You would most likely consult your bank account before rushing off to buy that Jaguar!

Buying healthy food is not that different from buying a new car or house. Your family will be greatly affected by such a big move. You will need the consent and approval of your spouse before you can start throwing away his favorite chips or her favorite Mac&Cheese. And if you have children, you must explain it to them the reason why you’re doing this.

Practicing healthy eating will not be easy since we can see the yummy and wonderful food during commercials or while going through the grocery isles. And that is why carrying a list of the products you need to buy will always be the wisest way to start this with.

But before doing your list, first you need to go to your cupboard and identify which items/foods can still be used and what must leave. After doing so, you’ll need to plan what food you wanted to prepare for your daily meals. Then after doing so, you can now start making your list.

Once your list is done, and you’re ready to go to the grocery, remember to go to the produce isles first. Never go “strolling” in the grocery with an empty cart, because it’s always easy to divert from your list and start grabbing the things you assume you and your family will need.

When choosing products, as much as you can, go for the naturally produced rather than the chemically enhanced ones. Always read the label before putting it into your cart. Pay attention to the amount of sodium, food coloring, fats, monosodium glutamate, aspartame and other harmful additives. These are the additives needed to preserve the product and the higher the contents are, the more harmful it is for us.

When choosing meat, always go for the white one rather than the red. White meat contains lesser fats, which will lessen bad cholesterol in our system. Go for fish meat, especially salmon or tuna. Salmon and Tuna are rich in omega 3 fatty acids that will increase good cholesterol.

When choosing fruits, go for the berries. They contain higher level of anti-oxidants that helps prevent cancer from developing and lessen the probability of heart ailments. When choosing vegetables, the greener it is the better it will be for you.

I truly hope that this article will prove to be helpful to you and your family as you start correcting or calibrating your family’s diet! Eat Healthy, Be Healthy!!!…

Best Way to Lose Weight – Can Meat Actually Assist You to Lose Weight?

Best Way to Lose Weight – Can Meat Actually Assist You to Lose Weight?

Lots of fad diets suggest individuals to increase their meat intake, specifically the ones that recommend low-carb diet plans. For example, take the Atkins diet, which suggests that you follow a diet plan which is higher in protein and lower on carbohydrates. The logic behind is that raising the quantity of protein intake is the guaranteed way to shed pounds, and that meat is the ideal source of protein. However, is this really true? Here I will show you just how much meat can assist you lose weight.

Fad diet plans such as Atkins and others often play on the lack of knowledge of people. The truth is pretty much different than what the promoters of the fad diet plans might have you think. As a matter of fact, you’ll be able to shed weight simply by burning up more calories in comparison with what you take in, not necessarily by raising your protein consumption!

Besides, certainly not all sorts of meat are beneficial for your overall health, plus some can in fact cause you to gain pounds. For instance, meat like ham, bacon, pepperoni, salami, poultry, etc., contain a substantial quantity of calorie content. Do you really believe that you may lose weight by raising your calorie consumption? Definitely not! On the contrary, you certainly will increase your weight. That’s the reason I seriously doubt that an excessive amount of meat intake is ever going to help anybody to lose just any amount of pounds.

Should you take in lots of meat regularly, it will eventually block your arterial blood vessels as well as harm your kidneys, not forgetting that it will even damage your gastrointestinal system since whenever you ingest meat, it has a tendency to rot inside your colon. There is more! Meat not just poisons your blood vessels, additionally, it leads to dangerous ailments like diabetes and cancer. As we discussed, meat is not actually your friend at all!

Furthermore, to get the necessary amount of protein out of your meat, you will have to consume it either uncooked or boiled. In case you prepare meat along with all sorts of spices, meat intake will not do you any good simply because lots of protein is being washed out throughout the cooking process! If you believe that a huge protein consumption will certainly enable you to shed weight, then keep in mind that it’s definitely the amount of protein that matters, instead of its origin. Do not forget that you will be able to get a lot more protein from organic foods like seeds and nuts in comparison with meat can ever provide! These types of whole foods can give your system all the protein it requires, yet still not doing harm to you by any means!…

Do You Deserve to Eat?

Do You Deserve to Eat?

A shocking trend that I have noticed with females who follow my eating pattern is a tremendous fear of food. It’s not the junk food of course but rather the healthy kind. It goes something like this. “I just wanted to make sure I am supposed to be eating this much quinoa, it just looks like so much!”

When I get this response it is a blazing red flag that indicates a profound fear of food. Then three days later I get an email like this. “Wow I can’t believe how much food I am eating and I am still hungry yet I am still hungry by my next meal! (No shit, it’s called the principal of volumetrics) My cravings are completely gone!” (The reason your cravings are gone is because you are finally eating enough. Did it dawn on you that the reason you had such cravings in the first place is because you had such a fear of food?)

Here is the interesting thing though, these females tremble in fear when it comes to eating moderate portions of nutrient rich healthy food but have no qualms at all when it comes to getting in a decadent filthy morsel or sugar and fat dense treat.

Why do these women have such a striking fear of eating a half a cup of quinoa of yet gobble up a brownie in a heartbeat? I will tell you why, because the quinoa, once cooked takes up more space, it fills up that bowl to the brim and appears to be a high volume of food, which in their na?�ve mind equals more carbs, fat, calories and of course weight gain!

Of course the brownie has far more fat and sugar but don’t tell them that! It’s only one third the size of that bowl of quinoa so in their pea brain there is no way it can be bad.

I asked another female why she didn’t follow the directions on her eating pattern by not adding an extra cup of oats, “I didn’t think I deserved it!”

Another red alert response is when the female doesn’t think she deserves to eat. For some females the light switch goes on and they find success from eating plentiful amounts of food but for others they can’t seem to wrap their head around the idea that eating plentiful amounts of healthy food will actually benefit them and the fear of eating leads to severe cravings and ultimately binging on junk, thus the vicious cycle continues.

Another belief that feeds into this is the mentality that “I have to be hungry in order to burn fat!” Nothing could be further from the truth. IF you are always hungry your metabolism is going to plummet and your body is going to think it’s starving and before long you go and shovel down a dozen doughnuts. Guilt stricken you proceed to hop right back on the “I gotta be hungry to lose weight” …

How to Fit All Those Healthy Foods Into Your Day

We all know that healthy eating is the first step in staying healthy. In fact it is the primary illness prevention activity w can have. At the same time we all know that certain types of food are unhealthy for us. And yet eating healthy food can sometimes be a problem.

If you are going to get more than a few servings a day of fruits and vegetables, you are going to have to plan for it as it won’t happen by accident.

You have to go out of your way to get the right food into your diet.

One of the easiest ways of eating this type of food is to simply blend it. There are a wide variety of blended fruit and vegetable drink recipes that you can follow.

This has apples, bananas, with some leafy greens. You can also mix fruit and vegetables with something like whey powder to make interesting combinations. Drink this in the morning to get the good food in your early on in your day.

Healthy Food For Your Child

As a parent, it can be frustrating to try to get your child to eat certain foods. The young palette does not often appreciate new colours, tastes, and textures in food. However, teaching children good eating habits early in life can help them continue to make healthy choices throughout their lifetime!

Each child is different. Some are content eating three meals a day filled with fruits and vegetables, while others eat many small portions and are extremely picky. There is no ‘right’ method of how your child eats, as long as he or she is gaining weight and developing at appropriate measures. However, it is important to continue to offer a wide variety of food to your child, even if they are extremely picky about what they put in their mouth. That way, even if your child does not have a balanced diet on certain days, their weekly diet will be rounded. Just remember that as long as healthy choices are being modeled by the parents and continually offered (not pressured) to the child, eventually, the child will try them too!

Here are some tips for ensuring your child has adequate nutrition:

– Feed your child a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Include food that is different colours for both nutritional and aesthetic purposes.

– Offer a variety fruits and vegetables from a young age. This helps the child build healthy eating habits early

– Model healthy eating habits. Children often want to eat whatever the parents are eating, so make sure it’s nutritious!

– Put fruits and vegetables into your child’s favourite dishes. For example, a pasta sauce rich in diced veggies or add cucumber and sprouts to a sandwich.

A major step in healthy eating is to reduce the amount of processed food in your child’s diet. Cookies, candies, and other packaged snacks contain large amounts of sugar and artificial flavours or colours. Even fruit drinks are in the same unhealthy category! Processed foods pack high caloric punch without much nutritional value. Not only that, but all the chemicals in these foods can lead to hyperactivity, restlessness, poor attention span, and obesity in children. Parents often notice that once processed foods are removed from their child’s diet, there is a significant improvement in overall physical and mental health.

Here are some tips on eating whole foods:

– Avoid processed/sugary snacks: chips, cookies, donuts, candy, etc.

– 100% fruit juice instead of sugary beverages (soda, iced tea, fruit drinks, etc.)

– Baked potato instead of French fries

– Using whole wheat instead of white bread/pasta/flour

– Oatmeal instead of sugary breakfast cereals

– Leftover slices of chicken or turkey meat instead of processed cold cuts

– Breaded chicken breast strips instead of store-bought chicken nuggets

– Air popped popcorn instead of chips

– Popsicles made with 100% pure fruit juice

– Fresh fruits and vegetables as snacks: apples, bananas, berries, grapes, celery, carrots, cauliflower, etc.…

Eating Healthy on the Go

Eating Healthy on the Go

Many of us eat in the car on the way to or from work. It’s how we shave a little bit of time off of our already overburdened schedules. We eat in a hurry, we eat distracted, and this hurts our health. Have you thought that your own eating tendencies may be harming your overall health?

Think about how we schedule our days in modern society. We work hard, we play hard (if we even have time), we have heavy responsibilities. Our eating habits have changed to adapt to this punishing schedule. We rush to eat and we eat whatever will go down quick. And we choke food down whenever we are able, rather than on a regular schedule.

When we hurry all the time, we aren’t attending to eating healthy food. Fast food, eaten whenever we can manage it, fills up your stomach so you won’t be hungry. Remember though, in the long run your digestive system will be better off if you watch your health better.

This has been neglected all too often today. We want our food not only fast but faster. It’s not fast food, it’s instant food. Microwave meals, even, take too long to prepare. Our fast foods are often fried, fatty, stale and overly spiced or overly salty to try to make them palatable. This combination of poor food choices and eating around the clock without regard to a schedule leads to obesity. This is completely avoidable.

If you would be healthy and fit, you need to start with eating slowly and on a regular schedule. Don’t worry about amount you are eating at first. Just try to eat good foods that are good for you, like fruits and vegetables, and eat them when you are supposed to eat – not after midnight, because you are only now finding time to have the dinner that should have happened six hours before!

If you take a bit of time to learn some new techniques, why not add some tasty salads or green smoothies to your diet repertoire? Sometimes people think that they won’t like healthy foods like salad or smoothies, and then when they try them they are surprised to find that they like them.

Remember though that your body may not be used to eating healthy food. If that is the case, you’ll need to give it some time for your body to adjust. Be determined and hang in there, you’ll be glad you did. You’ll feel far better, and you’ll likely even live longer.…
