Easy Weight Loss

How can I lose weight in up to three weeks, but without a diet, only with sports?

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 18:18:00 +0000

Unfortunately, you cannot lose weight without a diet or at least not 8 kilograms for three weeks.

To lose weight, you need to spend more calories that you intake. Exercises burn calories, but not as many as people think. For example, 20-30 minutes on the treadmill and you have burnt the calories from a glass of orange juice. I.e. if you train for one hour, you will lose the calories of one meal (relatively to how much you are eating).

The role of exercises is completely different – not so much to burn calories, as it is to tell your body from which storage it should burn – from the stored fat or from the muscles. The people who maintain only a diet and do not exercise burn simultaneously fat and muscles, therefore when they end the diet they look bad and it is widely spread that “they gain their lost kilograms back”.

A diet means an eating regime. A diet is not starvation; it is not a lack of eating. During the diet you eat! I.e. during the diet you isolate the “bad” food and eat only the “good”, which do not pile up as fat.

My Hoodia Didn’t Work

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:50:00 +0000

The world has witnessed how hoodia climb the stairs of success after it has been introduced to the market especially on the dieters’ world. Their manufacturers have stood what the product can do and was backed by a lot of medical authorities. But not only that, the people who tried to use the supplement have experienced a unique yet good effects in their bodies. Because of this, millions of dieters in the U.S. have transferred to hoodia.

One of the most glorious moments of hoodia was when it was endorsed by one of the most popular celebrities; it is evident that the supplement is also known in Hollywood. In fact, it is the most taken food supplement and suppressant among celebrities. However, because of its fame, there are a lot of manufacturers of food supplements who tried to imitate it. The bad thing is that they cannot follow the right formula of the original hoodia, therefore, instead of producing good effects to the body, they bring hazard to it. That is why a lot of complaints have risen after the fake products have been introduced to the market.

Some people claimed that their hoodia didn’t work the way they are expected to be. The rise of the fake products has partially destroyed the great name of hoodia. More and more products have been introduced to the market, thus, this led to the new researches to clear the name of the original hoodia.

Researches show that the products used by other manufacturers who want to copy the original hoodia are hazardous to health. Although, the supplements really look like the original one but the effects to the body are way too far behind. That is why those kinds of hoodia will certainly not work, if they will then that would be in the wrong side of the health.

People are then advised to purchase only the original hoodia. But there goes a lot of confusion because the containers of the original are also being copied which look really the same. There is one thing that a person can determine the fake from the original; the price. Since hoodia is almost extinct plant thus rare, the price is expected to be higher. But imitations will always have lower since they use fake hoodia and to be able to sell more.

So, the next time you use hoodia which will not work, be sure to purchase the original so that you can ensure your own safety as well as attain the kind of body you always wanted.

Appesat - new appetite suppressant from fibre extract

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 19:35:00 +0000

There are number of weight loss supplements that are available when it comes to weight loss. One of the most popular options that dieters are thriving/looking for are appetite suppressants. It is no wonder as the increased appetite is maybe the greatest obstacle when following a diet properly.

There are great number of appetite suppressants that are available - from hoodia appetite suppressant to acay berry products. Recently a new product has been launched, that is thought to give hope to dieters. It is called Appesat.

What is Appesat?

Appesat is fibre extract from a seaweed Laminaria digitata, that is called Bioginate Complex. This fibre complex is designed to be resistant to stomach acid, so that it stays in your stomach, without entering bloodstream. This means more or none side effects. As we know that fibre food tend to keep you full for a longer time, there is no wonder that Appesat is working as an appetite suppressant.

How does Appesat is reducing hunger/works?

The fiber complex swells up in your stomach when eaten and stays there. As it is not braked down by stomach acid/digestible the only effect that you experience is as a sense of fullness/it remains active for hours.

In the stomach the fiber complex sends signal to your brain that you are full, by stimulating receptors in the stomach wall. This can help you in number of ways:

help you overcome binge eating
eat smaller portions, because you are feeling full,
you are feeling for longer time

Obviously all this effects can result in one desired effect - you can shed off weight.

Are there any clinical studies to support Appesat effectiveness as an appetite suppressant?

There were conducted clinical trials with volunteers, in which was given Appesat. According results it helped them to reduce their weight. Another benefit from Appesat is that when taking this appetite suppressant, the volunteers could control their appetite more easily. This was more noticeable in people that had binge eating problems.

Is there any side effects?

According manufacturers there were none side effects. As it doesn't enters the bloodstream the possible side effects is "upset tummy", without giving clear explanation of it.

Is Appesat for you?

While there are only few that have tryed it and there are no clear evidence if there are any serious side effects, it is not recommended to use Appesat. Some more questions remain unanswered - is it effective for the long-term?

Other similar diet pills

There is another option for those seeking quality diet pill. One is Proactol, that is marketed as fat binder. However, it forms complexes, that similar to Appesat, gives you the sense of fullness. This means that Proactol suppresses your hunger and is also fat binder.

Another solution for those that have difficulties controlling their appetite is UniqueHoodia.

Slimming Pills

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:59:00 +0000

Slimming pills all work to one common goal; weight reduction. There are a number of slimming pills on the market to date, available both over the counter and via prescription. Two common prescription slimming pills are Reductil and Xenical. The former is an appetite suppressant, and essentially prevents the patient from over-eating, thus reducing their calorie intake.

Although prescription pills such as these have been proven to effectively help with weight reduction, there has been very little in the way of sufficient evidence to determine whether the numerous over-the –counter courses of treatment are effective.

Can I take Slimming pills?

Anybody with a BMI (Body Mass index) greater than 30.0 is eligible for slimming pills. Equally, those who have exhausted all other avenues (regular exercise, balanced diet), without any improvement can be deemed suitable. It is crucial that you note that slimming pills should always be considered to be the last resort.

It is irrespectively crucial that you consult your doctor before undergoing any course of treatment. A full medical consultation with a GP will enable you to record your medical details and thus allow them to make an informed decision as to the most suitable course of treatment.

What are the differences between Xenical and Reductil?

Reductil is popular pharmaceutical drug, developed to assist with weight loss. The product is essentially a neurotransmitter inhibitor, allowing the body to feel full, even though the patient may not have ingested their usual amount of food. In the long run the overall calorie intake will be reduced which will of course help with the weight loss.

Although both products will work toward the same target (weight loss), Xenical essentially serves to block any fat from being absorbed into the body. It is comprised of the active ingredient, Orlistat, which is a form of medication known as a lipase inhibitor. The product gets to work in the stomach rather than the blood stream (unlike Reductil).

Easy weight loss tip #1 - The easiest exercise is that you'd love to do.

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 16:37:00 +0000

You hear it all the time - to lose weight you should start exercising and eat less. And then someone is trying to convince you how great running aimlessly is or dancing, when you hate to move your ass seductively.

In fact it doesn't matter what you do for exercising, as long you move and burn some calories. Whether you you walk, run, swim or fly what matters is the movement itself. Do whatever you like to do, instead of sitting in front of the TV gaining chips and pounds.

Easy weight loss tip #4- Coffee, black coffee

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:56:00 +0000

Do you add sugar to you coffee? Well, maybe it's time to stop doing it. If you don't like black coffee a simple math may change your taste:
Let's say you drink a cup of coffee every morning with one teaspoon of sugar (about 4 grams). In a month it equals to 120 grams or about 450 kcal.
Two coffees with one teaspoon of sugar a day are 900 kcal.
We haven't yet added the milk and cream to the sum!
Just force yourself not to add anything to your coffee. It may take a week to get accustomed to the new taste, but it will be worth it!

5 Reasons to start exercising

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:09:00 +0000

You already know that you need to hit the gym, the pool, the basketball court, or the soccer field to get and stay fit. If you need some extra motivation to get up and Just Do It, these five reasons may provide you with the push you need to get started.

1. Exercise helps to elevate your mood.

Whether you need to relieve stress after a long day or you are feeling a bit down, spending 20 or 30 minutes performing some kind of physical activity will make you feel better. When someone gets their heart rate elevated, their brain releases some feel-good chemicals that help them to feel more relaxed. Exercising regularly can help with anxiety and depression, too.

2. Exercise can help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Many people struggle with their weight and if you have ever tried to manage it by dieting alone, you know how difficult to lose weight is. A better strategy is to combine a healthy diet with regular exercise. Physical activity gives your metabolism a boost and makes it easier for you to burn calories.

3. Regular exercise will help you sleep better at night.

When you are more physically active, you may find that you are able to fall asleep easier and stay asleep longer. The quality of your sleep improves and you are much better able to deal with the demands of your day, no matter what it throws at you.

4. Exercise strengthens your heart and lungs.

Your heart is a muscle, and when you get regular exercise, you are actually helping to strengthen it. If your heart is able to do its job more efficiently, your whole body functions better. As a result, you will have a lot more energy and when you are not struggling to get through the day, you will be better able to enjoy life.

5. Being physically active can improve your sex life.

That's a good reason to make plans to include exercise in your routine. If you find that you are too tired to be interested in sex, then start exercising. It will give your energy levels a boost, which means that your interest in being intimate will come back. When we feel better about ourselves, we are more confident, in the bedroom and outside of it.

Since exercise improves circulation, men who make a point of exercising regularly are less likely to experience erectile dysfunction as they get older. This is another good reason to stop being a couch potato.

The good news about getting motivated to exercise is that once you establish the habit of being physically active, it will be less of a chore for you. It will probably take about 30 days before this change in your routine is a habit, and that doesn't seem like a long time to wait to get used to doing something that is going to improve your life in so many wonderful ways. Even if you start with a daily walk around the block or a game of one-on-one in your own driveway, you’ll start to see improved strength, endurance and energy.

Now get off the couch and get started!

How not to get fat while watching TV

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:21:00 +0000

Staying at home watching your favourite TV drama can be real disaster for your appearance - it is widely known. According to some studies one hour spent in front of TV will give you extra 200 calories, that could be burned. For an year this means about 10-12 extra pounds! This is a lot of extra weight to loose!

While watching TV and eating at same time our body cannot control appetite and satiety. This is why you just keep eating, even when you are already full. Therefore, giving up from this weight-gaining habit, you can lower your calorie intake drastically. In other words - you will start a diet easily.

Although this is harder to achieve, than it sounds, there are some tricks that may help you:

First you can simply replace high-calorie snacks with low-calorie and healthier food. Take fruit instead of sandwich - peach, apple, pear,plum or pine-apple (but not tinned) depends on your taste.
Your hunger can be easily satisfied with cabbage salad, carrots,or salad with tomatoes and cucumber, with little olive oil for dressing.
Give up coffee and black tea (they increase gastric and enteric function thus increasing stomach acidity and hunger), soda and other sweetened beverages. Water and fresh should be your choice.
Make use of the time during commercials. In a typical one hour show there is about fifteen minutes of ads, broken into three pieces of 5 minutes. Do you watch them? Use the time for some exercising, like rope jumping. 5 minutes rope jumping burns about 60-90 calories. It doesn't seem much, but do the math - 5 minutes, three times a day are 15 minutes (if you watch TV one hour a day). This is about 200-240 calories burned in a day, or about 1500 in a week. It is a rule that 3500 kcal burned are one pound of weight loss, so you will lose about half a pound just by utilizing the commercials. At the end of the year the potential weight loss is about 20 pounds.

But maybe the most effective measure is simply not to sit in front of the TV. A 30-minute walk in the neighborhood with your better half is far more interesting. Or 30-minutes in the bedroom...

Easy weight loss tip #3 - Dieting with pleasure

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 20:41:00 +0000

What is the most annoying things in diets? That you have to follow strict eating regime - watch what you eat, watch when you eat, watch how many you eat. Ghrrr.... That's something that can make everyone go crazy. To make it worse, very often dieting means starvation for food, especially foods you like. It's well known that satisfying your appetite is different from stuffing yourself with tasteless grass-like substances that are rich in fibers and low in calories. In fact, nothing will happen if you eat a small bar of dark chocolate with your coffee. Pleasure from diet is guaranteed!

Diet pills reviewed - Hoodia - the natural and strong appetite suppressant for weight loss

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:07:00 +0000

What is Hoodia?

Hoodia gordonii is a cactus like plant, growing in South Africa. It was known for centuries for it appetite suppressing effect - the local tribes used it to suppress hunger during their hunting trips in Kalahari desert. These observations lead to the interest to Hoodia. Soon the active ingredient was isolated.

How does Hoodia acts?

The active substance - p57, isolated from Hoodia, acts in certain area in the brain, controlling the appetite - hypothalamus. When you have eaten, glucose in your blood is raised, and that is sensed by hypothalamus, giving you the signal "You are full". The P57 substance mimic this - it's as 10000 times as active as glucose. It goes to your brain and gives the signal of being full, without eaten something. And you are not hungry! Hoodia acts as a strong appetite suppressant!

Not long time passed until the clinical trials with obese volunteers. They were divided in two groups. After 15 days, the volunteers group that was given Hoodia diet pills reduced their calorie intake with average of 1000 calories!
Here is what one of the studies claims:
"Studies conducted at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR, South Africa) identified extracts from Hoodia species, in particular Hoodia pilifera and Hoodia gordonii, as possessing strong appetite suppressant properties.....Compound 1 was tested for its strong appetite suppressant properties ... and the results showed that all doses resulted in a decrease of food consumption over an eight day period and a body mass decrease when compared to the control ... In a comparative study against a fenfluramine control sample, compound 1 resulted in a reduction in food intake over the study period, with a concomitant overall decrease in body weight ..."
An appetite suppressant from Hoodia species.
Phytochemistry. 2007 Oct;68(20):2545-53. Epub 2007 Jul 2.
PMID: 17603088 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Are there any side effects?

Hoodia is completely natural and there were no side effects reported. You may be aware from only one complication from its use - you'll get thinner, as you never imagined you can be! Hoodia is a natural and strong appetite suppressant!

How can I order?

Take two week supply of Hoodia pills for free!

Here is the easy part - break your 30 minutes in pieces, no one says that you have to do it all at a time.

Here is the solution - park your car at distant parking, at about 10-15 minutes away from your workplace and you will get your recommended 30 minutes of activity.

Easy weight loss tip #1 - How many calories are in an apple?

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 16:57:00 +0000

Reducing your calorie intake, to lose weight can be very efficient. However, it's not so easy as it seems and you need to be really determined to starve for good. But what makes it really hard is not knowing how much calories you take with particular food. This problem has a solution - USDA National Nutrient Database offers you to search for particular food and see its nutrient and calorie values. Now go and check how many calories you had for breakfast.

MISTAKES WE SHOULD AVOID WHEN DIETING

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:08:00 +0000

Every change in our meal plan, especially when reducing the daily nutrition and calorie intake, leads to weight loss in some degree. However, this is not the main criteria for the quality of the diet. The fast weight loss is basically without long term effect, and very often - jeopardy for your health.

What are the main traps in the miraculous diets?

Be aware of drugs:

Diuretics:
Diuretics increase the excretion of water, salt and potassium. They don't have effect on weight loss, because they don't interfere with fat metabolism, they just suck out the water from your body. Taken without medical control they can lead to muscle weakness, cardiac pain, dehydration and mineral disturbances, sometimes even osteoporosis.

Laxatives:
They simply reduce the time which food needs to pass through your GI tract, especially the colon. This doesn't leads to weight loss, because nutrients are absorbed in small intestine, before they reach the colon. A laxative leads to increased excretion of water and minerals and may damage the mucous of the intestines.
Laxatives can be effective only if they have fat binding effect. Although not laxative, such medication is Proactol.

Thyroid extracts:
They are extracts, which mimic the action of thyroid hormones. They reduce the muscle mass, but not the fats. Insomnia and palpitations are some of the most common side effects - the same as you are having thyroiditis.
For efficient weight loss, you need to lose fats, not muscles.

Protein supplements:
They can lead to real weight loss, because they lower the appetite and burn the fats, without losing muscles. In order to be efficient you should combine them with exercising. Unfortunately, protein supplements may be very harmful for kidneys, especially if you have reduced kidney function. Severe constipation is another very unpleasant complication.

Herbs and extracts:
Most are simply inefficient. This is because they are sold without any clinical research is done in order to obtain evidence for their effectiveness. Still there are some which can be very efficient, and they are either researched at the moment or are proved to be effective and are already on the market. Hoodia and Proactol are examples.

Be aware of sensational diets:

Another trap for the quick weight loss candidates are "healing hunger", Atkins, Scarsdale, The Zone, Blood types, Montiniak etc. Really, they can be very effective for short term dieting, but most are simply dangerous for your health or lack any scientific proof for their action (like blood types diet).

Remember that the faster effect means short-term results.
When you alternate periods of dieting and promiscuously eating, weight loss is getting harder to achieve and the weight gain after the diet is even more.
The only way for fast and sustainable weight loss is combination of exercises, reasonable dieting and weight loss pills (sometimes you just need some supplements). When the desired weight is achieved, you need to change your eating habits for life. This doesn't mean you have to hunger all your life - the volume of food must satisfy your hunger, and its composition must meet your body needs. Of course, one hardly can achieve this "reform" in eating habits and efforts should be put, and sometimes even some help (i.e appetite suppressants) is desirable.

10 Diet Tips

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Mon, 26 May 2008 02:59:00 +0000

You can find diet tips anywhere, just with a simple search on the web. Nobody will give you assurance that they work. So why reading them? Simple - you don't know what will work for you. So keep collecting ideas, and someday you'll find yourself better looking.

Anyway, here are 10 tips from me, for practical people:

Going on restaurant sometimes can ruin your diet, because of the enormous portions. So why don't order from the kids menu? You get reasonably sized portion, and in most cases - healthier one.
The healthy snacks. Yes, there is such thing. A bowl of fruit on the kitchen table, a container of celery or carrot sticks in the fridge, or a couple of pop-open cans of fruit salad in your desk - easily accessible whenever you need to eat something.
Frozen vegetables instead of canned. Why? Because canned vegetables are high in sodium. So put some vegetables in your fridge.
No need to go the gym. Instead you can play baseball, volleyball or anything that you like ( but active) with friends.
Cook vegetables on steam. This way the food retains all of its natural ingredients, and your vegetables can taste even better than eating them raw.
Break your meals into smaller ones and spread them throughout the day. Just remember to break the meals in smaller pieces, not to add meals.
Stop eating while standing up. Take your plate, sit down comfortably and enjoy your meal. Thus you prevent just pop food without paying attention.
Drink water. I already posted about water here.
Fruit juice instead of soda. Soda is nothing but empty calories. No nutrients, lots of sugar and carbonation. Grab a bottle of 100% fruit juice, or pure water.
Skip on the potato chips. Chips is not great, and you know it. Just skip it. OK, it's hard to skip it every time, but you can try do it most of the times.

10 Food Cures

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Tue, 13 May 2008 17:57:00 +0000

Experts explain what to eat to ease cramps, crankiness, fatigue, and more.
Migraine Headaches

Suffer from heartburn or migraines? Instead of heading straight to the medicine cabinet, you may want to check out the kitchen first. "Many foods provide vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that help ease ailments and possibly prevent them," says Susan Lark, MD, a physician and nutritionist in Los Altos, California. "Even if you take medications to relieve symptoms, what you eat can help as well," Dr. Lark says. Next time you experience one of the following minor conditions, just open your refrigerator. (If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor.)

Migraine Headaches

Try: Fatty fish such as trout, sardines, and herring
Preliminary research suggests that eating fatty fish, which are high in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, may lower the body's production of prostaglandins, hormone-like chemicals that can induce inflammation and pain, causing migraines. "We found that adolescents who took 1.25 grams of fish oil daily for two months experienced fewer headaches, which were less severe and didn't last as long," explains Zeev Harel, MD, the lead researcher on the study and an associate professor of pediatrics at Brown University.

How much? Have one four- to six-ounce serving two or three times a week, says Dr. Harel. Or consult your doctor about taking fish-oil supplements.

Avoid: Processed meats, artificial sweeteners, MSG, red wine, chocolate, hard cheeses, and citrus. Research shows that 20 percent of migraine sufferers are sensitive to one or more of these foods.

Menstrual Cramps

Try: Flaxseed
Prostaglandin production is also a large factor in monthly cramps. "As the prostaglandins are released into the tissue, the uterus reacts by going into spasms," explains Dr. Lark, author of Menstrual Cramps: Self-Help Book (Celestial Arts, 2003). Studies show that flaxseed can inhibit the release of certain prostaglandins in the same way that fish does; both work by providing omega-3's.

How much? Have one to two teaspoons of ground flaxseed daily. Try sprinkling it over cereal or salad, or stir it into a smoothie.

Avoid: Red meat and dairy products. These foods contain arachadonic acids, which instigate the production of cramp-causing prostaglandins.

Fatigue

Try: Quinoa (keen-wah)
This low-fat grain is a healthy source of three major nutrients that keep your energy soaring: protein, B vitamins, and iron. Unlike other sources of these nutrients -- primarily beef and poultry -- quinoa also contains complex carbohydrates, your body's main source of energy.

How much? Eat one and a half cups of cooked quinoa daily, recommends Diane Grabowski-Nepa, RD, a dietitian in Camarillo, California. To add flavor, cook it in vegetable or chicken broth.

Avoid: High-sugar foods and caffeine, both of which cause energy levels to spike and then plummet soon afterward, says Grabowski-Nepa.

Irritability

Try: Chocolate
Chocolate is full of the amino acid L-tryptophan, which can boost the production of serotonin, a brain chemical that regulates mood. (People who suffer from depression often have low serotonin levels.)

How much? A small amount will do: Try four Hershey's Kisses (100 calories) when moodiness hits.

Avoid: Alcohol. While it may relax you initially, it's a depressant and will make your mood worse after a few hours, says Grabowski-Nepa.

Bad Breath

Try: Tea
Black, green, and oolong varieties work equally well, says Christine Wu, PhD, associate dean for research and a professor of periodontics at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry. Wu recently conducted a study that found that compounds in tea stop the growth of bacteria that breed bad breath. (Decaf works, too.) Herbal teas such as chamomile and peppermint aren't derived from the tea plant, so they may not provide the same benefits.

How much? Have one cup after a meal.

Avoid: Onions, garlic, and cabbage.

Stress/Anxiety

Try: Low-fat popcorn, honey, graham crackers, whole wheat pretzels
Low-fat carbohydrates can increase production of serotonin in the brain, which helps relax you, says Judith Wurtman, PhD, director of the program in women's health at MIT.

How much? Grabowski-Nepa suggests having whole-grain toast or oatmeal topped with one teaspoon of honey. Or try snacking on a cup of air-popped popcorn or five small graham crackers when you're feeling anxious.

Avoid: Caffeine, which is a stimulant and can make you more nervous.

Joint Pain

Try: Berries
Vitamin C -- which is abundant in strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries -- may help slow wear and tear on your joints. A study from Boston University Medical Center shows that arthritis sufferers who had the highest vitamin C intake were three times less likely to strain or injure their joints than those whose intake was lowest. The vitamin's antioxidant activity may keep free radicals from wreaking havoc. Plus, vitamin C plays an essential role in the formation of collagen, a key component of cartilage and bone.

How much? Try to get 120 milligrams daily, which can be provided by two oranges. Other C-rich foods: cantaloupe and broccoli.

Avoid: No foods have been shown to trigger joint pain.

Heartburn

Try: Ginger
Ginger may help strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This is the valve that keeps stomach acid from reversing into your esophagus and causing a burning sensation, says John Hibbs, a naturopathic physician and an associate professor of clinical medicine at Bastyr University in Seattle.

How much? Fresh ginger is strong, so make the herb into a tea to dilute it. Add one-half to one teaspoon freshly grated gingerroot (or one-quarter teaspoon of the powdered variety) to a cup of hot water. Let steep for 10 minutes, strain the ginger, and drink.

Avoid: High-fat foods like butter and red meat, which can hamper functioning of the LES. Spicy foods, or acidic ones like tomatoes, can also cause heartburn.

Gas

Try: Peppermint tea, fennel seeds
"Peppermint and fennel both work as antispasmodics to relax bowel muscles. This helps prevent pain caused by the buildup of gas, which gets stuck in the gastrointestinal tract when the muscles are constricted," explains Cindy Yoshida, MD, director of the Women's GI Clinic at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

How much? Try drinking one cup of peppermint tea or eating a half teaspoon of fennel seeds after a meal.

Avoid: Carbonated drinks and sorbitol-sweetened foods, all of which are harder for your digestive tract to break down, says Dr. Yoshida. Gas forms when undigested foods are broken down by bacteria in the colon. Also, limit your consumption of beans, tofu, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower. (Before you eat them, try taking Beano; the supplement contains a natural enzyme that helps break these foods down.)

Constipation

Try: Apples, pears
Fiber-rich foods like these help the digestive tract function regularly. Produce that has a high water content (such as pears, melons, tomatoes, and grapes) can also help keep things moving.

How much? Aim for 20 to 35 grams of fiber daily, which can be met by eating five servings of high-fiber fruits and vegetables. Increase your intake slowly, by just four to five grams per day, or you may experience stomach discomfort, says Dr. Yoshida. Also, be sure to drink at least two additional glasses of water every day, which will help push the fiber through the digestive tract.

Avoid: Processed foods like frozen meals, high-fat meats, and coffee (limit yourself to two cups daily). And don't skip meals: Eating at regular intervals ensures that your gastrocolic reflex is stimulated, which keeps you regular.

How water can help you reduce your weight?

noreply@blogger.com (DR Ohbolisky) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:06:00 +0000

The suggestion that water has an important role in achieving weight loss goals is taken skeptically. It turns out that water can be very effective. Fact is that large proportion of our body is water - 70% of the lean muscles, body fat and bones are at about 20% made by water, and our blood - over 80%. It's not surprising that water is crucial for our existence.

But how water can help you lose weight? Obviously drinking water itself is not the way. Losing gradually and surely your weight, then eating right and drinking right are the two major components of natural weight loss method.

Let's say something about eating right.
First, try to eat "good fats" but not "bad fats". Good fats provide essential fatty acids, and help in preventing blood clotting and lower risk of heart failure. "Good fats" we can find in Salmon, Mackerel, Herrings and Sardines.

"Good proteins" is another point of eating right. Proteins prevent food cravings and we can find them in low fat milk products such as skimmed milk, cottage cheese, fish and yogurt.

Carbohydrates contained in vegetables, fruits and whole grains are metabolized slowly by the body and act like natural hunger-suppressants.

Eat adequate fiber food. Good fiber foods do not contribute much of calories and they are filling. They thus help in suppressing hunger. Moreover fiber does not get digested by the body and while passing through the body it attaches to some of the fats and proteins that we eat; thus they are taken out of the system without being digested! Apples, figs, broccoli, strawberries, brown rice, beans, bran and nuts are good fiber foods.

Fiber in the food have to be taken in adequate quantities. Fibers do not contribute to your calorie intake, but create the feeling of being full which helps in suppressing hunger. Fibers do not get digested in gastrointestinal tract and while passing they attach and drag some of the fats and proteins that we eat, preventing their digestion. Fibers are essential for our easier digestion, and highly recommended especially if you suffer from digestion problems like IBD (Inflammatory bowel disease), peptic ulcers or GERD. Foods rich in fibers are apples, figs, strawberries, beans, nuts, brown rice and broccoli.

How water involves in burning of fats?
Evidence that water helps in weight comes from researches in Germany. They found that water increases the rate of fat burning. The subjects of the research drank approximately 17 ounces of water and their metabolic rates were measured. It was found that it increased by 30% for both men and women. Estimated calories that could be burned by increasing water consumption by 1.5 liters a day, were at about 17,400 which is about five pounds of weight loss. This increasing in metabolism was found to be caused by extra calorie burning in body's attempt to heat the ingested water. These findings were reported in the December issue of The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Other important role of water in weight reducing is the fact that drinking water fulls your stomach. So the hunger passes and cravings - reduced.

As we can see taking your "Eight glasses of water" daily is worth trying.

6. Drinking after eating. The point is to avoid drinking liquids during mealtime, as drinks add volume to your meal, expanding your stomach. Thus the probability to eat more than you need is big. Try to have drinks after 10-15 minutes after meals.
