Instead of depriving yourself of the holiday treats, enjoy them. Just enjoy them in moderation.Eat slowly. Don't add a lot of water during the meal - that just slows down digestion. At Thanksgiving I took one serving spoon of all the wonderful dishes and a small piece of turkey. I left food on the plate because I was full. Just slow down and let your stomach have a chance to tell your brain

Look at children. They stand easy with no attempt to "hold in their belly" or "look better". They simply are. They run and play and have way too much energy.If those children become over weight or obese, they develop fat all over - not just in the belly area. So logic tells us that the apple shape, the belly fat is an adult disease. We blame it on having children or too much beer or cokes. We

I have a sister blog to this one. It is just called Exercise. I haven't posted much to it and finally realized that I post more to the Belly Fat Blues Blog. Now I am wondering if I should keep both going.Have you see the commercials for the new wii fit program? There is much more movement in the new one - no board you have to stand on. I can see having both and will probably get the new

New article on the web - same old story. Belly fat is dangerous. Belly fat must be lost before you can flatten your belly with exercises like sit-ups.Belly fat, like grey hair is an inherited gene. Those with the pear shape say they would rather have the belly - grass is greener type of thinking.Try thinking of it this way. Your belly fat is like a garbage dump. Ok a recycle center.If you eat

Did you catch the last episode of Biggest Loser? One girl has stopped losing weight even though she is on a strict diet and working out hours a day. The trainer told her to stop - she has told her before she is doing too much on too little. Now her body has shut down and is refusing to give up any more weight. Every action has a re-action.Her other big big problem, she is so stressed about the

The first calories of the day usually dictate the type of calories you will want the rest of the day. That makes a lot of sense. Think about sugar - your body will continue to try to balance itself the rest of the day by wanting frequent shots of sugar.Eating Breakfast Is Only Half the StoryFor what seems like forever, nutritionists like me have been urging people not to skip breakfast - for a

Is your holiday guilt visible for all to see? Did your middle expand just a little too much? Is your waist like the equator - bigger than any other part of your body?OK, shake it off. Don't fall into the trap of trying to live on carrots and celery to remove the belly bulge. Just because you over did the goodies during the holidays does not mean that you starve for the next 2 months. In fact,

It's coming. The dreaded gain weight season - Thanksgiving and Christmas. Start now to save yourself.Do you eat breakfast? If yes, what do you eat and if no, why not?Breakfast is the most important meal of the day - more important when you are watching your weight is what you eat for breakfast.A good breakfast will help you eat better all day. But a sugar breakfast will just help you put on

I decided to follow that advice and watch what I eat. The first problem I had was that my eyes would cross just about the time the fork got to my mouth. I tried closing one eye and that helped.Next problem, once the food entered my mouth I could not see it anymore.The next time I could see a trace of that food -- it was on the outside of my stomach - it was the dreaded fat belly. There must be

The old wives' tale about chewing everything 20 times might be true - if you did take a bit more time eating. Slowing down also means swallowing less air, less bloating, easier elimination and yes that all important weight loss.Wolfing down meals may be enough to nearly double a person's risk of being overweight, Japanese research suggests. Osaka University scientists looked at the eating habits

You will find a free list of negative calorie foods below, but first--- There is no such thing as a negative calorie - a calorie is a unit of heat and it cannot be negative. So when people talk about negative calorie foods, this is just a food whose calorie level is low enough that it takes more energy to eat it and digest it than the food contains. For example, if you consider water to be a

Do you keep a food journal? How about an exercise journal? How about one journal for both?Any little spiral notebook can serve the purpose. You can draw a line down the middle and list food on one side and exercise on the other.The benefit of a food journal is to keep you honest and your memory accurate. If you don't write it down, it still piles on the calories.If you are still trying to

You read a lot about body shape - apple or pear - or do you carry your excess weight in your midsection or your butt and thighs. You are supposed to adjust your diet to your body type and metabolism rate and what sex you are.I think those things are important to consider, but first why do you have the excess fat build up.Not too long ago we had to remove the tomatoes from the produce section at

I know, you thought I was never going to post again.I was reading an interesting report on artificial sweetners. Proof in the rats used as test subjects that using fake sugar caused not only an increase in appetite but an increase in body fat.First, the researchers found that the total food eaten over 14 days dramatically increased in the artificial sweetener group -- meaning that the artificial

Is it harder to lose belly fat when you are over 50? Yep. Same way it is harder if you are over 40 or over 70. Each age has additional problems to consider when looking at that fat belly.First problem, the longer you have stored that belly fat, the more resistant it has become to being used up.Second problem, you would not have the belly fat if your exercise routine and diet habits were at the

I just finished an article on Cinnamon for the Supplements section of my web site Answers For Your Health.One of the little tidbits I found was this piece of old-woman folk medicine.WEIGHT LOSS: Daily in the morning 1/2 hour before breakfast on an empty stomach and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one-cup water.

I am not talking about food allergies. Food intolerance usually does not manifest itself in hives or stomach ache. It can manifest itself in joint aches, lots of headaches or even bloated fat belly.The body's reaction to eating something it does not like for you to have is to try to isolate that substance and eliminate it if possible. Your body decided in your first year of life what kind of

Good fact to know.If the healthy female body does not get enough flax oil, omega-3 and omega-6 her body's metabolism will not function correctly and she is more susceptible to weight gain.While diet pills can be an easy way to lose weight, they do not cause a re-balance of nutrients in your body. They only cause a loss of appetite by using a chemical that is in the diet pills known as

Timing is everything. You need to go to the grocery store. You know that it takes 10 minutes to get there. Depending on the time of day and the day of the week, you can estimate how long you will be in the store. Busy time --- you might be there for an hour to buy only 12 things.Your digestion works the same way. When you eat has as much impact as what you eat. If you eat right before you

It struck me this morning that fat is not always a bad thing.We use that word when we describe a good thing such as a wallet or bank account. Since money is a driving force in most lives, the brain is associating being fat with money. I have even seen a rather stupid commercial on TV with the fat wallet. Can anyone deny that having a fat wallet would make them extremely happy?Word associations

I have read all the information on the artificial coffee creamers. They all say that the additives in the creamers tend to put on weight, increase appetite and in general puts lots of toxins in your body.One month ago today, I started using a powdered coffee creamer in my morning coffee and my chai tea. That is the only change I made in my routine - diet stayed the same as did exercise levels.I
