2012-03-13T01:30:00.000-07:00

Soybean - herbal product, which says a lot, and good and bad. Someone finds it useful and nutritious, while others ignore the shop shelves with soy cheese and meat, and generally perceived as a gimmick canned or fresh soybean sprouts.

For a vegetarian soy food has become an ideal product that allows to maintain normal intake of protein. For example, Chinese and Indians soy is the main ingredient of most dishes. In China, during the time of Zhou Dynasty, the amazing plant has been recognized as one of the five sacred grains (in the list also were rice, wheat, barley and millet).

The value of soybeans due to the presence in it full of protein, almost as their nutritional characteristics of animal protein. The quality of the protein in soybeans is almost perfectly level, as it contains the required set of very valuable amino acids, which, for good nutrition should be a minimum of 20 (11 produced in the body, and the remaining 9, we must get from food).

The absence of cholesterol and lactose plant makes soy a very versatile food product, even for those people who have many products may be prohibited by reason of disease of internal organs and blood. (But be careful endocrinological diseases and kidney stones!)

Most scientists agreed that soy can prevent breast cancer, lower cholesterol, strengthen bones, counter senile dementia, reduce alcohol intoxication and help move more easily through menopause.

Soy is easy to digest, so it is not surprising that the soybean diet was developed by which one can not only regulate the balance of nutrients in the body, but also to say goodbye to extra pounds. Replace fatty meat and milk to soy products are guaranteed to lead to weight loss. The efficiency of the plant due to the presence of lecithin - a substance that is directly involved in fat metabolism, which can reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver and contribute to their gradual "burnout."

Consider the exemplary menu diet for seven days:

First day: Breakfast - crackers or biscuits - 50 g, soy milk - 1 cup.
Dinner - boiled potatoes - 2 pieces, stew made from soy - 150 g apples - 1 pc.
Dinner - salad, seasoned with vegetable oil, boiled lean meats - 150 grams, apple juice - 1 cup.

Second day: Breakfast - Buckwheat porridge in the soy milk - 100 g
Dinner - boiled carrots - 2 pieces, soy cutlet of minced - 1 pc, apple and orange - 1 piece.
Dinner - salad, seasoned with vegetable oil, boiled lean meats - 150 grams, apple juice - 1 cup.

Third day: Breakfast - rice porridge - one serving, soy milk - 1 cup.
Lunch - bean curd (tofu) - 150 g, soy sauce, grated fresh carrots with sour cream (10% fat) - 130 g
Dinner - fish, steamed (boiled) - 150 g, a salad of sweet peppers and sauerkraut - 100g, apple juice - 1 cup.

Fourth day: Breakfast - biscuits, toast or biscuits - 20 g, soy milk - 1 cup.
Lunch - soup made with fresh vegetables - a portion, beet salad with prunes and sour cream, apple - 1 pc.
Dinner - boiled potatoes - 2 pieces, stew made from soy - 150 g apples - 1 pc.

Fifth day: Breakfast - soy cheese or cottage cheese - 100 grams of tea or coffee without sugar - 1 cup.
Lunch - fresh vegetable salad with sour cream - one serving, soy cutlet of minced - 1 pc.
Dinner - soup made of vegetables - one serving, soy cheese - 50 g apples - 1 pc or apple juice - 1 cup.

Sixth day: Breakfast - biscuits, toast or biscuits - 50 g, soy milk - 1 cup.
Lunch - fresh vegetable salad with vegetable oil - 100 g of soy stew - 150 g
Dinner - porridge peas - 100 g (about 50 g of dry peas), fresh vegetable salad with vegetable oil - one serving.

Dinner - boiled beans - 150 g, fresh vegetable salad with vegetable oil - 100 g
Dinner - boiled meat - 100 g, soy cheese (cottage cheese) - 50 g apple and orange - 1 pc.

But how many weighs "one piece", each defines for himself. Many believe that a portion - it is the amount of food that should fit on one hand. Others see a more accurate options, from 200 g - for women and 300 g - for men. And most importantly, remember that during the whole day to drink enough water without gas.

Specificity of the 7-day soy diet: it will be effective only if you start to play sports. Without exercise you will hardly notice a positive result. As, however, and many other diets aimed at weight reduction.

Consider the option of discharge soybean diet. He was very strict, so be sure to consult your doctor before you change the habitual diet for you in advance and try soy foods to taste and tolerance, if it has not included them in your diet. For soybean diets require raw. Soak them in cold water and leave for the night, morning, cook until soft, without adding salt and pepper. Sitting on such a diet is recommended no more than 5 days, you can also arrange fasting days. One day you will need 500 grams of cooked beans. This amount should be divided into 5 equal portions and eat during the day. It is believed that such a diet contributes to a small weight loss and the effective removal of edemas.

Here are some useful tips on cooking of soy:

• To make marinated tofu, retained its flavor, use it in cold dishes.
• To make the taste of soy dishes using a variety of spices.
• Ready soybean meal should be consumed on the same day as Soy products are a group of perishables.

If the soy diet did not seem interesting to you or you are still a neutral attitude toward soy products, keep in mind that sometimes the inclusion of soy in your diet can bring significant benefits to the body, especially in the prevention of cancer, diabetes and premature aging.

What Features of the Organism Must Be Considered When Losing Weight?

2012-03-07T23:08:00.000-08:00

It's no secret that the female body behaves differently in different phases of the menstrual cycle. The ability to dropping pounds in one and the same woman at different times different! Not including this feature, many frustrated too soon ...

In order to avoid unnecessary frustration, consider the particular phases of the menstrual cycle details:

A. Menstrual Phase

Period when the start and go monthly. Lasts an average of 3-6 days.

Our bodies are well aware, "fertilization has not occurred." Therefore, the body does not need to stock up on calories and the pounds "in reserve". I think many women have already noticed that exactly in this phase there is a tummy, but the appetite is very moderate. At this time, you can safely and effectively lose weight! Pounds will be discharged only in this way, and will power at all to be missed.

Two. Proliferative (follicular) phase

Conventionally, this phase lasts a few days after menstruation. In the case enters the hormone estrogen. It is this hormone affects the irresistible and sexy woman. You feel as interest begins to appear to men (and this interest is growing slowly). The mood of the beautiful, and you feel an emotional and energetic climb!

The body prepares for ovulation. The requirements in the reserve fat and calories yet. And that means any woman can continue to effectively dieting and fast (as possible) to drop pounds. For his efforts, you can also connect the sport, because the energy of all missing!

Three. Phase of ovulation

The period of the most dangerous days. Although the egg lives only a day, your body is ready to conceive within a week (including some of the previous period). Any woman can determine this phase of signs such as irritability, intense desire, a strong attraction to men, and of course the most vivid emotions about sex. You feel the need to show off, flirt.

The purpose of the body - to conceive a child. All the forces of nature are attached to this, and ... There comes a period of "Jora". You feel like your appetite is growing, and all seems to be very tasty ...

Thus, we proceed to the next phase, which is called ...

4. Luteal phase

Luteal phase lasts about 14 days. By the way, is the "safe days" during which there is no conception. But every body is different, so there may be errors.

In the body of a woman ruled by the hormone progesterone. It stands to save the pregnancy.

The body thinks it is pregnant! And it means taking steps to create the conditions better preserve an imaginary baby. That is a growing appetite for women, she chews everything. Everything seems to be delicious! In the body, every effort was made to save calories and water. Increasing edema (some women report during this period the swelling of the mammary glands) and the added weight.

Have you lost attraction to men, and the mood is gradually getting worse. There is a tummy, and the figure is not so hot.

In this phase, all your efforts in losing weight empty. Enhanced starvation diet and lead only to signal the body to "hard times - urgently needs to load up!", And includes mechanisms that cause an even bigger appetite! Of course, not an ounce of weight in this period, you will not lose. If you do not sit on a diet, it also will add (as a rule, added about two pounds).

This week or two I would recommend to relax - maybe a little longer afford to eat (controlling himself, naturally). It is best to stabilize and survive without any additional restrictions, but not without overeating. Feel for his "golden mean". And most importantly, do not be guided by weight! Otherwise you risk to be disappointed in all their endeavors and to collect all the grief that was heroically lost in the previous phase of the cycle.

Within 12-14 days, the body receives information that the pregnancy has not occurred, and there is another hormone drop. Completely spoil your mood, you become irritable, vulnerable.

And then everything returns to normal. The mood is gradually getting back to normal, and just before the monthly (or during them), you drastically resetting all points weight, swelling subside, and your weight loss success can continue!

That's it. Good luck with the weight correction!

What a Way to Dinner Spoon? Tea!

2012-03-06T02:01:00.000-08:00

This article was born as a polemical response to the publication of my esteemed author Michael Berseneva the importance of proper full meal during working hours and the harmfulness of snacks for proper nutrition.

In his comments to the article, I argued the controversial point of view of the author's full day mandatory lunch based on the experience of other countries where there is no notion of meal (first, second, third), and sometimes the concept of a lunch break, on the one hand, and, importantly, dubious benefits of eating on the clock, rather than the needs of her body.

Comments received truncated. He asked in this article. Several years ago I wrote an article related to problems of overeating, overweight, and the technique of-blende tested on himself. (If you want to immediately cut off questions about my weight and physical shape, I would say that gaining weight by age 18 to 50 kg with height 153 (according to the formula 100 minus growth), I still fit into my quiet wedding dress. I think issues are removed.)

Repetitium est mater studiorum. Something I have as a result of arguments in this article, add some brand new fresh personal experience.

I was very lucky with the practical anatomy. The girls in my group were afraid of dissecting, in the face us in the autopsy room no one really knew. So I went to the workshops and for myself, and for the guy. Knowledge of a dead human body from the inside somehow helps to understand better and clearer, while complaining about what a living person. (There was a smiley face.)

So look into the abdominal cavity? I invite you: our stomach as an organ of an adult (for thick books) of only 300 grams. It is not designed to do more. But I saw the ventricles are only children. Among adults in the abdominal cavity lies languid deformed trunk with a capacity of six to eight pounds. The walls of the carcass are disproportionately stretched turgor muscles weak, ring-shaped muscle that connects the esophagus with the carcass, stretched and gaping. This oil painting. Calm: This man did not die from gastrointestinal diseases. Close the cavity.

Here are the stomachs of almost all living people. The reason? Overeating! Violence against the stomach, esophagus, intestines both, rectum, liver. But it is not paired organs.

Now a little plumbing GI: You have thrown food at 3-5 times higher in the esophagus. She slipped her the pressure in the stomach, on the road stretching ring-shaped muscle. You are stretched to the limit of the stomach wall. In form it is stretched furychit slow gastric juice to digest this mass, he could hardly highlights, peristalsis is weakened, the gaping hole in the esophagus, stomach pushes back your borscht, cutlet with hydrochloric acid and then alkaline - hello, heartburn! Ryg!

In the stomach, you have a slow swell and plunk carbohydrates and proteins. Instead of the 3-4 hours, the food sits there and rots 8-9 hours. Imagine a cesspool into a large heat - that's out there and do it. At the very least you pushed this swill rotting in the small intestine and gave their blood all the poisons that Bourdieu. Sucked poison quickly ran to the liver. Liver screamed in horror. She will try her clever here. But the patience it will snap very quickly - you do not think about it, when the belly stuffed.

Bang patience you will not hear - not the body. It will die slowly and without symptoms. Amen.

What kind of crap I'm here poraspisala! And that crap that you do three times a day, at least, with his body. Now you understand why it is sometimes useful to look inside the abdominal cavity? Sobering when an extra spoon to her mouth pull.

Therefore, those who still, in spite of everything, "Fall hotstsa bite," let this serve as a mental picture of stop signal for food. As for the cereal with a spoon, so just imagine mentally dissecting room!

Dear consumers - 70 percent of our food, we want only the eyes and nose! Medical axiom. And only 30 percent of us actually need from what we eat at a time. Flies apart, the meat alone - not to shove in his insides proteins and carbohydrates together, remember the picture of summer cesspool.

If you do not turn their ties, the proteins just something you have to Gulkina nose - 50 grams per day. Do not be afraid of fat, for your health. Just remember that a day of vegetable fats should be no more than two tea spoons! Cool, huh? And what about eating? And you eat carbohydrates. As much as a pound a day they can eat.

And most importantly, do not sit at a table in a clockwise direction. Open your mouth to eat only when hunger is driving the stomach. Do not want something to chew, chew, and it was brutal famine. And lift our eyes to the top paragraph, perform the arithmetic operation of addition and calculate your daily rate of food you need. Then divide by three, if you eat three times a day.

Yeah, crazy, you say. Is it possible to eat? Fun, huh? Oh, no, good and only good wish. So to repeat my tricks again. Here we go.

Throw away from home all the major dinnerware. From now on your dishes - small children's soup plates, saucers under the second, the teaspoons to the first, second and third. Remember, dishes deceiving you. Outsmart them. Instead of two or three bowls of soup you pour just one Differently. On the bread at all sure if it is not a separate dish - the second.

Now take a teaspoon and eat soup. Every sip slowly and chew for a long time - you can swallow only very watery liquid. Swallowed, breathed. Now the second. Now for my mother-in dad. That's it. And it is easy! When you see the bottom of the plates, you do not have to second. Believe me, you already ate!

And make it a rule. No deadly trio: the first, second and compote. One thing, but a teaspoon. Tea with a fork, tweezers for eyebrows, pipettes, drops! The correct "grip" food should be such that the mouth barely open, and the cheeks to avoid bulging. And in order to inhibit the spoon, spoon put off to the side, do not hold it in your mouth. Give of your teeth: chew on the left, chew on the right, front teeth. This is especially for non-liquid foods.

The Japanese believe that every mouthful of food should be chewed at least 50 times. They correctly believe - just as finely chewed food enters the esophagus is in a favorable form, easily passes through the ring-shaped muscle and is accepted by the stomach, gastric juices complete with the greedy and ready to work peristalsis. Such food long in the stomach, it does not expose him to stretch due to fragmentation proceeds, it will move well into the small intestine and does not give the body poisons, and all the useful fuel that you are thrown into the esophagus.

Many would think that eating this way is impossible. And I say, maybe. Every body is different, someone energetic metabolism occurs, someone weak. Knowing the mass of the body (in the formula for calculating the Ministry of Health has a website), you can easily calculate the necessary amount of daily calories for themselves individually. Just something to do!

One thing is certain - we all overeat in terms of disposable eating, and food that we eat properly. Let's at least try, and the results you'll soon see for yourself - we have the stomach clever, he cringed and again become a beautiful and healthy. Liver says thank you. And most importantly, your body will get the ease and functioned well, which we have lacked. Health to all!

Good to Be Thin? 13 Reasons Not to Torture Yourself From Dieting

Five. In whatever company (female), you may be, sooner or later, all the talk can be reduced to a discussion of diets for weight loss. You just feel like a sore thumb. You have only two ways out: either to leave or continue to sit in his place, and strained smile.

6. No matter how many did not show on TV beauties with parameters 90 x 60 x 90 in real life for some reason, men prefer women "in the body." (And by the phrase "The men are not dogs: do not rush to the bone," you do want to howl.)

7. When you buy (or do you give), bracelets or rings, you have to first go to a jeweler to make them narrower.

This series can be continued indefinitely. Such is the nature of man.

So love yourself for who you are!

What is More Important at the Gym - Lose Weight or Put Himself in Order?

2012-02-27T18:19:00.000-08:00

How many times has noticed: any, even the most useful thing to be done through some fences and barriers. I do not know what makes the result so desirable and pleasurable - the effort to achieve the same or only on the need arise to overcome the unexpected.

The most obvious example - the weight loss. Dream more than half of the female part of humanity, and a significant part of the male population of the planet. Women really want men too, but feel the result they want more. At the same time, those same men do not really understand why the women claimed the event turns out smaller than they actually want.

Women do not understand even more. Although we all know that if we then want to, here resist - as we ourselves in the first place - is not recommended. Because we are all equal, and involuntarily, but estimates any obstacles in its path when you reach the desired. But not in losing weight.

Methods, techniques, tips, advice, sharing experiences - all well known. But no result. Or is it microscopic. Or rare. Well do not get to do everything together. Or unloading and then loading the days or holidays, or periodic fizzaryadki different degrees. Here's how it all together and does not work.

Even after all this is no small thing as health. He also somehow have to help, at least sometimes. What to do? The recipe, the easiest: Eat less, move more. If you do not help - go to the doctor, it is better to an endocrinologist.

Dream gripping me to lose weight for many years. It is best to somehow randomly and without much effort. Even without injury, of course. Not so very necessary - probably my external proportions do not change much, but the visual image and health just to be better. Checked periodic positive inclinations. But, unfortunately, that there is here. So before the New Year, after his ...

In the autumn I will break off a gift for life, without prior arrangement has been recorded in the gym. Not so simple, it is the medical procedure (no advertising, and not all helps), tired of my complaints about early morning spin. And in general, have accumulated, you know - so much singing, and even sports have never dealt with only in dreams. And now the dream, she went to the gym.

Hated myself at first. First went for the sauna. Then, because of perfusion after a sauna. Stretch marks - hurt. Massage - painful. Trainers - difficult and painful. Then for the first time added weight on one of the simulators. Then something did not feel in some parts of the body concentration that was always there.

Still, if I got stuck. Weight as was well worth it. Although warned that the first three months it is really worth, and does not disappear. No matter how trained. This is true. It's a pity, but what can you do. I still do not stop.

After a few months, especially before the New Year, a loved and respected everywhere. Especially in the balance. Below the waist was also good - not even suspect that it happens. Came girlfriend - groans, "Well, did you let us down." I mean is above the waist. No, it just flowed seamlessly from one another, in terms of bottom-up. Spite of all the laws of physics and gluttony.

And I help. Somehow it came - and steamed rolled oats, and juices, and vegetables, and seafood. Well, not always, of course. Cakes, buns, dumplings and homemade cakes are sure to arise, and fences, but such a pleasant surprise.

Now I understand that only through physical activity - even if science-based and controlled by experts - it is impossible to lose weight drastically. Yes, and it becomes unnecessary. After all, there is still a positive. In the form of improving individual health outcomes, rather, ill-health (objective outcome), improving the shape (subjective results), strengthening muscle tone and blood vessels (and where to go, so they swing, stretch, warm and then cold water fertilize).

Get pleasure from overcoming yourself first. And not even in the exercise thing. You step over the morning, "I do not want, then we rewrite for another time, another time." Close your eyes to the traffic jams around you and the fellow on the road. Generally, the road to the bus - a special kind of movement in space, especially at rush hour. Gets to dress, to measure pressure and flops - floated down the road of health and right living.

During those few months I realized that I should not lose weight. You just have to give myself up. One follows the other - the movement, nutrition, appearance, inner spirit, the attitude of others.

It turns out, because it is not for someone else try, but for himself. Most often it is much harder than it looks from the outside: try and do for themselves and not for others. The most amazing thing is that it changes the world around you.

In any fence always find an open gate, and surprises, even in the long run, can and should be enjoyable. From whatever pies, dumplings, urgent affairs laziness, or they may consist.

Learning To "Eat consciously"

2011-08-25T02:58:00.000-07:00

Similarly, our body sends signals to the fact that he was satisfied, and the moment when you need to stop eating. All people without exception have the most powerful weapon against weight gain, and this weapon - our own body. All that is required of us - is to listen carefully to the signals that he gives us.

Unfortunately, people who are overweight, have some difficulties in this regard. Why is this happening? Improper diet, eating for a long period of time leads to the fact that the human body as a loses its ability to supply some information. The brain is too full of people are not sensitive and loses its ability to recognize hunger and satiety signals, served the stomach. Therefore, these people begin to consume more and more food.

"Virus" extra pounds

To better understand how the situation with the above-mentioned signals, we invite you to the following analogy. Imagine that your brain - a computer, which pumped a lot of different programs. One of these controls the rate at which the signals from the stomach, (the signals of hunger and satiety) reach of the central section of the brain. So, in the case with people who are overweight, the soft kind of struck by a virus. The virus - neither more nor less than a chaotic food and overeating. This virus is introduced into the program, is absorbed in it and begins to slow down the speed at which signals reach the central zone of the computer (the brain). Due to the fact that the signal reaches the saturation of the destination with a delay, you eat more than necessary for your body and feel the saturation only when the signal was finally adopted by the brain.

How to clean our "computer" (the body) from viruses?

Unfortunately, the destruction of these viruses is long and quite difficult - much harder than it is with these computer programs. After all, the virus that is firmly entrenched in our brain, account for the order of several months, and in severe cases - and a few years. Therefore not expect that you will get rid of them within a week. The purification process of virus should be done slowly and gradually.

1. Learn how to have consciously and listen to your intuition. From the first weeks, you still can not learn to recognize the signals of saturation, but the hunger signals - with ease. Listen to your body! This is the best indicator of your condition. Eat only when you feel hunger for real.

2. Enjoy the meal! Never take for food already fainting from hunger, in which case you can not control their appetite. Eat slowly and in small pieces. Put your cutlery on the table after each swallowed a piece. Chew your food at least 20 times. Discover the taste of food. It is possible that one or other food, from which you were just crazy, is not so tasty you will find, as before, due to the fact that you will be able to recognize its true taste - too salty or too sweet.

3. Expect right portions! It is quite difficult, especially at first, because you lose the ability to recognize the signals of saturation. Therefore, we recommend you find out what values should be helping a person with normal weight (for the type of food that you are going to try). Then eat just that amount (or slightly less), and do so in the future, until you get used to this volume.

4. Leave 10% of food on the plate! Of course, first you will be hard to measure precisely the number, but with time you will learn how to do it "by eye". The main thing - is to realize that you should not eat everything, that in a bowl. You do not have to be ashamed of this behavior, nor does it have to feel guilty about the fact that throwing food in the trash. Is at stake your health, and 40-50 gm of food do not go to any comparison with the benefit that you will get rid of excess weight. Enjoy your weight loss!

Errors at Growing Thin - Part 2

2011-08-03T20:12:00.000-07:00

If you combine several methods of weight loss (eg, separate power supply and method Montignac), their combined result is greater than the result of each method

It is not. Many of the methods of the prohibitions in conflict with each other. As a result, increases patient suffering, forcing him to stop treatment prematurely.

All the evil in the dinners. If we could not eat after 6 pm, would be lost with no dieting

Abandon the idea of dinner at dieters is very popular. Nevertheless, this measure usually does not bring the desired effect. Biorhythm man is built so that in the first half of the day it is easier to be energy efficient, and the second is easier to accumulate. Attempts to ban the evening meal led to an irresistible hunger and to failures. You can have dinner. The only thing you should try that would have been the evening meal.

Of starchy foods and sweet fattening

This is not the case. There are numerous studies showing that if the food is very low in fat, at least people are not better at almost any consumption of starchy foods and sweets. The output of the principal carbohydrate is central to modern nutrition. On the basis of a high-, low-fat diets, but you can build an effective and easily tolerated maintenance regimes of weight. Frankly, when I first read about it, it seemed to me that all my old ideas about the biochemistry stand on its head. It turned out the opposite, they finally got up from head to foot.

Vegetable oil is uniquely useful

It is not. Vegetable oils, which we colloquially call "Lenten" actually contain about 97-98% fat. This is a very zhirogennye products. Although it should be noted that vegetable oils, unlike animal fats, does not accelerate the development of atherosclerosis.

Margarines are useful because they contain no animal fats

It is not. We prove that the atherogenicity of margarine (the ability to induce or accelerate the development of atherosclerosis) is not lower but rather higher than that of animal fats. As for margarine, it is about the same as any other fat, plant or animal.

Doctor's sausage is so called because it is low fat and promotes weight loss

It is not. Doctor's sausage contains 30% animal fat and plenty of salt. There is desirable it is not only overweight, but also in atherosclerosis, hypertension and certain kidney diseases. This also applies to other pork sausages, as well as sausages and wieners.

Weight loss requires long-term failure of the mass of very tasty things

It is not. There are enough methods of effective weight loss, in which there is no ban on any food or even for one day.

There is a secret medicine which can lead to weight loss with no diet

It is not. There is no cure, can lead to weight loss, while if the patient does not comply with diet.

You can do without the diet, if we use a special massage, acupuncture, psychotherapy or

Unambiguously proved that the confident and predicted weight loss in obese patients can be called only by a specially selected diets. All other methods of treatment, at best, or enhance the effectiveness of the diet, or improve its portability.

Physical activity clearly promotes weight loss. If you do the exercises, you can lose weight without any diet

It is not. Physical activity, which can perform most of the people, lead to weight loss only if the patient is simultaneously on a diet. There are scientific studies showing that improperly selected loads lead to weight gain rather than to its decline.

If I know three friends who helped this method of weight loss, it definitely helps and I

It is not. Weight-loss program as part of a diet and exercise, and in other sections of their needs in a strict individual selection and dosing.

Weight loss is not compatible with eating to satiety

It is not. Choosing the right diet keeps a person a feeling of satisfaction nutrition.

Moderate eating enough to not get better

It is not. It was established in special studies, weight gain can be observed at a moderate diet, if the proportion of fat in it than 50% of total calories. In general, if you've noticed an increase in fat content of food does not add him to satiety. It seems that eating in moderation, even golodnovato, and weight increase.

The use of diuretics and laxatives accelerate the process of losing weight

It is not. These funds only stimulate the excretion of water and in no way contribute to more intense waste of fat. It is important to remember that the use of diuretics and laxatives without proper justification is very harmful for the body.

In conclusion, I repeat that success in weight loss necessarily occurs if a person understands the situation, set realistic goals, makes an adequate effort, changing as needed their diet and lifestyle, and if all this it is quite consistent.

Errors at Growing Thin - Part 1

2011-08-01T01:46:00.000-07:00

In obesity, as it seems very clear and obvious reasons for the development of solutions. Ask any full rights, how to lose weight, and in response you hear that we should be moderate in eating, exercise, is not abundant at night, and in general, less sweet, fatty, delicious. But if everything is so well known, why are full of complete? Or is it something important we understand not, admit any mistakes? And then of course, until these errors are recognized and corrected, the deadlock will not move. Actually, anyone who tries to lose excess weight, I would advise to begin with, to find and realize their mistakes. And it will be easier if some of the most common of them I will call:

It should be thin in any case, if the weight is different from the ideal

It's not quite true. In terms of weight loss medicine shows, if there is clearly associated with being overweight condition. Most often it is hypertension, atherosclerosis and / or diabetes. Weight loss may be desirable in cases where there is every reason to fear the development of these diseases (elderly, obese, fat distribution of male type). If a person is young, healthy, has a slight excess of the weight that suits him, the doctors may not necessarily insist on weight loss.

If we are to lose weight so to lose weight. If excess weight around 20-30 pounds, then there is no sense in reducing the weight by 5-6 pounds only

It is not. From a medical point of view, very significant improvement in health can be achieved already with a decrease in body weight by 5-10% from baseline. In fact, most often it is those same 6.5 pounds.

We are talking about well-known phenomenon of many extremely high overweight. Indeed, if no action is taken to protect people from re-gaining weight, then restore the original weight is almost inevitable and occurs on average 6-12 months. But if you take, the number of successful weight maintenance is greatly increased. This is a very important issue and we will devote a separate chapter to it.

To blame genetics. If parents are obese, then weight gain is almost inevitable

Indeed, such a person at least inclined to corpulence. Earning extra pounds he is more likely than the average. But if the person will comply with the so-called regime of food, weight gain he might not be how much he would not have been inclined to corpulence. Conversely, if the power of this man, he can get better even without the fullness of any inclination.

People get fat because they eat a lot

It is not. Special research found that most overweight people eat an average of less than, or at least no more than most thin.

To blame the fact that fat people are to food as an alcoholic with alcoholic drinks. They overeat and when they are no longer needed. In fact fat people should be treated just like alcoholics and drug addicts.

Despite the popularity of such ideas, there are some inconsistencies. The food, unlike drugs or vodka, is a combination of essential factors for the metabolism. Without food the body can not live long. Refusal of food brings a totally legitimate suffering. The problem is rather different. Trying again and again to reduce its food and always falling down, full of people become afraid and fear the food itself. The so-called food neurosis. Exit? First calm down, and secondly, to recognize that the necessary restructuring of power must be approached intelligently. So, no need to appoint a diet which can not sustain one. Unless of course you are trying to lose weight, rather than prepare a scout in an African country. Third, there is a very large class of so-called products that you can have your heart's content without the risk better. Among other things, include bread, pasta and cereals, as well as lean meat, fish and dairy products.

The more unbearable diet, the more effective it is

This is a fairly common misconception. Indeed, by assigning a diet, we primarily focus on how much mental strength it takes us. And believe that bigger is better. However, it is not correct - the efficacy of diet you can say only if it can make the majority of patients. Caloric intake and satiety, this is not the same thing. There are not very high-calorie, but nutritious enough modes and, conversely, half-starved mode can be quite nutritious. Finally, the body has the ability to reduce energy consumption in response to a decrease in caloric intake. It turns out that it is often painful dietary regimes do not yield the proper result.

Lose weight hindered by a lack of willpower

It is not. Most obese people have a hunger to experience days and more. Few of the wicked boasts of the fact that the hunger strike more than a day.

How to Understand You Exercise Effectively or Not?

2011-07-27T20:25:00.000-07:00

Anyone who has ever seen the mass of engaged aerofitnosheypingom can understand it. If the load on the body under the proposed exercise is not enough, it can be seen in how people breathe. If a person is like and does, but is not breathing deeply and often can not be seen speaking with sweat, does not overcome its "do not take it anymore", that lessons are ineffective.

If during exercise is not increased ventilation, it means only one thing - a very low consumption of oxygen by muscles of the body. Clearly, if there is no work, and insulin levels virtually unchanged. And the existing ensemble of fat and muscle cells are not experiencing "discomfort." Everything remains in place: burnt fraction of carbohydrates, have spent time and money - and all for nothing.

Let's try again to dispel the myths of sport

• We all want to achieve results as quickly as possible. And it seems that more and more intensely engaged, the greater the load the muscle, the quicker you can become slim and beautiful. Well, the truth in these allegations are. But here's the rub: the more calories you burn, the more tired muscles, the more recovery time you need it. In addition, it teaches you the muscle to very high loads and more efficient use of energy. So then you lose weight can be tricky.

• However, not all adhere to a radical point of view. Others believe that 10 minutes of fitness a week - through the roof. Not surprisingly, even a year later devotees of this idea are the same full as before.

• By the way, long breaks in employment are also not the best way. The law of "regression": the muscles no longer receive the oxygen they need and quickly lose their tone. Within 1-2 months, the muscles lose their tone, volumes increase. However, this does not mean that the muscles turn into fat. There is an amusing and confusing. They are completely different types of fabrics.

• Some believe that it is necessary to train harder, someone clicks on the "problem areas" and thinks that the push press after 1000 there will be no wrinkles. And here and there. Fat evenly throughout the body disappears, and not from any one place. So in this sense does not really matter what place you pay more attention. But the rest of the side muscles are affected.

How to train?

Training in shaping a set of exercises, muscle groups successively in different parts of the body. Each selected muscle group "worked out" by repeated cyclical repetition exercises. Repetition should be continued until exhaustion (30-200 times or time 60-240 s), then changing loaded limb or muscle group. Sometimes the muscle group worked out several exercises, or back to it repeatedly during the sessions. Characteristic for shaping workout is that it loads the muscles slightly involved in daily life. The choice of these muscles is just and expedient methodically, as opposed to "hardened" muscle groups, they offer scope for significant energy and morphological changes.

The peculiarity of the structural composition "unhardened" muscles is a small amount of slow muscle fiber type-1, adapted to continuous operation and, accordingly, the presence of fast fibers of type 2. In their energy supply plays a significant role anaerobic (oxygen-free) mechanism, consumption of energy reserves and muscle cells of the body. During the classes are shaping actively involved all three mechanisms of energy supply: ADP with CRF, anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic oxidation processes. The presence of fast fibers of type 2 gives the important role of glycolysis process.

Long-term repeated exercises focused on an exhaustive use of available energy resources in muscle cells - glycogen and lipid inclusions. As a result of active muscle cells accumulate lactic acid, there are characteristic pain.

After the change of load on the muscle groups have more muscle bundles are exploring, to the complete exhaustion of their capacity. Willful effort to ensure compliance with the latest iterations "in can not," increases production of hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine can stimulate glycolysis and tissue respiration, as well as the mobilization of free fatty acids from fat depots.

After the end of the muscle can be observed the following results: a significant loss of energy by the body as a whole, including the reduction of liver glycogen reserves, consumption of fatty acids from fat depots. These changes in the body cause the activation of metabolic processes within a few hours after the end of the muscle work. It is necessary to provide recovery of energy reserves: a synthesis of CRF, the oxidation of lactic acid and glycogen resynthesis from it. And it will be at the expense of your own fat.

It is also believed that some foods can help speed up the metabolism. They need to include in your diet: grapefruit, pomelo, pineapple, green tea, cinnamon, red pepper, dairy products, low fat, fish oil-rich, pumpkin and nuts. But alcohol, on the contrary, will only slow your metabolism and worsen the results of training.

A Few Tips for Weight Loss

2011-07-25T18:15:00.000-07:00

During follow any diet should move more, it increases energy and helps the body weight loss. Useful are weight training with dumbbells, walking and jogging for long distances, aerobics and shaping.

Aerobics is to perform various gymnastic exercises for rhythmic music, and shaping (from the word shape, meaning the shape) aims at focused development of specific muscle groups and thus the formation of lines, shapes.

Now become a popular so-called latent gymnastics, in which movement does not attract the attention of others, but are committed with force. It can silently do the work in the transport home. Elements of such exercises can be extreme corners of the head in hand, the convergence of blades compress the buttocks, drawing in the abdominal wall, pinning arms to the torso, pinning his knees and ankles together, etc. Each movement should stay at its maximum of 5 seconds.

Gymnastics is not only to reduce body weight but also to correct posture. The most common defect is slouching posture. If you stoop spine changes shape, and with it deforms the spinal cord. This is very bad for your health as well as in the spinal cord are all the centers in charge of the internal organs. Therefore, with stooped must fight in every way. To correct posture should be above all to cuddle up against the wall, the most upright, his hands apart to separate your palms against the wall, and then, without changing the position of the body, give up and move away from the wall. We must remember that the body position and try to keep him from walking.

To overcome the stoop to train your back muscles and neck, as well as to maintain flexibility of the spine. Useful for this bending back in the prone position while lifting the head, arms and legs. A good exercise is also this: get on your knees and palms to lean into the floor, relax your back, giving it to sag, then arch your back arch up, lowering his head, then bend back down and lift his head, doing so several times. All the movements should be done nicely and smoothly, in imitation of a cat or a snake.

Gain A Beautiful Shape Without Simulators

2011-07-24T19:14:00.000-07:00

The first "trainer" - a ladder.

Studies have shown that during walking on the landing energy is spent five times more than walking on a plane. Imagine the benefits of the gym: you do not need to steam in an elevator hot day, breathing in other people's "flavors." In winter, walking up the stairs, you can warm up after a great frost.

So, if you decide to replace the ladder simulator, proceed to the exercises. To get started, try not to miss a single ladder and forget about the elevator. After a few days, try increasing the load: when lifting retract the stomach, keep your posture and do not lean on the railing. When climbing stairs trained muscles of the buttocks and the front of the thigh, and the descent are working all the muscles of the legs.

To increase the load on leg muscles, walk through the step, getting sideways. Lifting back forward - an effective way to combat cellulite.

The second "simulator" - a plastic bottle. This handy device for those who prefer weight training the upper body. Plastic bottle that is filled with water, replace the weights. Here are a few simple exercises.

Legs spread shoulder-width apart, lift up not very heavy water dumbbells. Keep leaning forward, waving his arms. During tilt exhale, letting your hands between your legs. Straighten, cave, taking a deep breath. Do not bend in the knees. Exercise develops the muscles of the shoulder girdle and back.

Exercise for the abdominal muscles: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, arms with dumbbells, lift up. Perform circular motions with the torso to the right and left side. If you breathe in subsidence, tilt - exhale.

The third "simulator" - a wonderful taste. Watermelon can be used for home fitness. In this case, he plays ball. Exercises with the subject is not limited. Here are some of them:

Lying on the floor and hugging with watermelon, bend at the knees and go with watermelon, removing blades from the floor. Running back and swinging the press. Now hold a watermelon between your knees to your chest and lift the legs. Omitting the feet, try to touch your knees sex. Take turns, raising hands together with a sweet "simulator", roll it on the floor like a ball. And at the end of training sports equipment, cut and eat. You deserve it!

A Sense Of Proportion In The Gym Is Not Too Much

2011-07-18T23:50:00.000-07:00

In an effort to look good, radiating health and be confident we will, at times, going to the gym, forget about the sense of measure. As a result, engaging in various sports, we get the tension and trauma. Why does this happen?

The most common mistake we make is that we expect to load properly. If we have not engaged, then you should start with basic exercises. In addition, for the first time will be enough to make them one at a time approach - no more. Otherwise, the pain in the muscles can not be avoided. A similar situation is when they come to class, we immediately begin to exercise power, forgetting about the workout or just brushing against it. Muscle tension and even tension in such cases, we are almost guaranteed.

But just what is hidden behind these names uncomplicated ailments that we used to have hearing? It turns out, triggered by muscle strain as follows: for excessive or prolonged stress is overwork certain muscle groups - frantically cut some muscle bundles, resulting in pain. Muscle strain is manifested convulsions of the lower extremities (usually calf), twitching, tremors, acute muscle spasms. Stretching is an even less, because it is a traumatic injury of muscle fibers themselves or connect the muscles and tendons. Agree, nice enough. But the balanced load - something that can prevent such misunderstandings in sports.

And, of course, coming to the gym, do not hold to, no matter if you are feeling. It does not matter, hurts back, aching head and grabbed a side deal with the day to the best of it is not necessary. You can consult with a trainer to explain the situation to him and hear his recommendations. In some cases it is enough to do some work on the perfection of his body and at the same time eliminate the discomfort, but in other classes have to be postponed to the next, more favorable times.

Those who are ignoring the voice of reason, eager for the fight against overweight and centimeters, can seriously harm their health. In such cases, injuries happen very often. Of course, for back pain, arthralgia, overvoltage and stretching the muscles with unpleasant sensations help make short work of both pain and anti-inflammatory drugs intended for local external use only. For example, is always worth keeping in your gym bag by means of diclofenac. Suitable voltaren emulgel, which due to its unique shape emulgel (emulsion + gel) penetrate deeply into tissue directly to the source of pain and instantly removes them.

Also has a vital force in such situations, regular self-massage or massage (if you can not see a specialist, you can stretch your muscles on your own). It is best to carry out the procedure for using the basic or essential oils that have a therapeutic effect. Thus, the essential oil of oregano stimulates blood flow, and therefore it is good to apply for the resolution of bruising and healing abrasions. And, for example, lavender oil penetrates through the capillary network of the skin to deeper layers, thereby providing quick and excellent Curative action relaxes muscles. And, of course, do not forget about the bath. Her visit - a great way to speed up the recovery of the body after excessive physical activity.

But can we, the ardent sportsmen, so you do not suffer from muscle tension and strains, often just to listen to yourself and expect the load? Is not this the moment when the sense of measure will only benefit us? After all, to prevent injury is much easier than to deal with its consequences.

Unlike Shaping of Aerobics and Fitness

2011-07-17T20:21:00.000-07:00

Everyone knows that in order to lose weight, you need physical activity. Now, in our progressive time, rather invented various methods and systems training for weight loss. For those who first took the difficult path of self-improvement and the fight against obesity, it is sometimes difficult to choose for themselves the appropriate exercise. Despite the apparent similarity of fitness, aerobics and shaping, the differences between these types of physical activity is very noticeable. They differ not only a system of training, but the approach to food and manufactured effect.

Shaping

Shaping is an exclusively Russian invention - an application for recognition of shaping the invention was filed in the USSR in December 1988. Initially the system of training called "shaping" was created to enhance the physical attractiveness of women. The concept of "female appeal" in shaping includes not only the perfect figure, but well-groomed appearance, hairstyle, makeup, clothes, etc.

For this reason, assumed that the shaping is a complex system that integrates not only physical exercise and dietary principles and the art (shaping choreography), fashion (shaping style), the concept of shaping well-groomed appearance.

Training in shaping a set of exercises consistently affect different muscles in your body. Training effect is achieved by multiple cyclic repetition exercises. Repetitions are performed at a moderate pace for a lot of time (up to 300 or more) until fatigue (reaching a maximum individual). Sometimes on individual muscle group perform a few exercises.

Low-intensity serial study of all muscle groups makes it a substantial load on the heart and joints to achieve the effect of loss of energy by the body.

Because of the specificity of shaping the approach to food, unlike aerobic training where the body's fat stores is mainly consumed in the process of training, in shaping their mobilization to the greatest degree encompasses the restoration period.

AEROBICS

Aerobics was established American doctor Kenneth Cooper, and was intended to deal with such factors for cardiovascular diseases, such as lack of exercise, nervous stress, overweight, etc. With the help of exercises performed in an aerobic mode and power supply with a low content of animal fat in the human body actively destroyed by excess cholesterol - the main enemy vessels. Physical activity eliminates physical inactivity, and emotionality during training improves the mood.

Regular, relatively slow running in front heals the heart at any age and has successfully assisted weight loss. For a long time aerobic training and understand - jogging. Then an American actress Jane Fonda came up with a dance aerobics. His emotion she had a lot of taste and of a dull race gradually forgotten.

Over time, the arsenal of aerobic training also included numerous simulators that mimic the different types of aerobic exercise - cycling, jogging, walking, skating and skiing. Later, there were "riders" - a very special trainers.

In addition to training cardiovascular, aerobics stimulate the secretion of enzymes that burn through the fat, accelerates the growth of microscopic intracellular structures - mitochondria, which serve as a kind of furnaces for burning fat.

FITNESS

Fitness training system also has American roots, and includes a system of "construction" of the body (ie, body-building), aerobic training and nutrition. As for the "power component" fitness training, then in the early 70's it became clear that bodybuilding (bodybuilding) copes with the task of building a muscular body faster and more efficiently than any whatever system of physical exercises, which existed before him.

Means to achieve a beautiful, moderately muscular body exercises are performed with free weights (including simulators), and relatively high-protein diet.

Well, no aerobics, more accurately, aerobic exercise, with excess fat often do not cope. In addition, aerobic training is necessary to focus the heart.

A balanced diet - one of the main conditions for success. Training plan itself is only half the story. Compliance with the principles of balanced nutrition, allows you to control the receipt of all necessary nutrients the body in sufficient amounts so as not to cause any adverse events, as well as not to expose the body at risk of disease. Not adhering to the principles of balanced nutrition is impossible to increase lean body mass decreases body fat and solve the problem of reducing or increasing body weight.

All this suggests the following conclusions:

1. Shaping is to raise the physical attractiveness of women and to a lesser extent to improve the functionality of its body.

2. Aerobic exercise and physical inactivity eliminates some influence on the formation of beautiful body, and emotions during training enhances mood by eliminating the negative effects of stress.

3. Fitness training is designed to achieve a balanced state: the optimal development of physical strength and cardiovascular capacity of the organism, flexibility, control of body weight, body shaping, positive mood.

Where Better To Do Fitness? In the Club or at Home

2011-07-14T18:41:00.000-07:00

Scientists around the world have long been debating over this issue. "What is fitness?" This is probably a healthy lifestyle and sports. Do fitness now possible and necessary. Time for classes to be selected individually at convenient times of day. After all, it is proved that in the morning workout can burn excess fat faster and more efficiently than in the evening. Just need to decide where to do - at a health club or at home.

You can certainly go to a fitness club, where a variety of simulators, training in groups, and much more, but it will have to pay for the money, but you can do at home and still save a little finance. Still, a subscription to a gym is expensive. Many people decide to train at home. But you have to buy special equipment to organize a home gym. Now you can buy fitness equipment for practicing at home, but at the fitness club offers many different services that you do not get at home. And anyway, before starting to use the simulator, you need to consult with professionals.

Athletes claim that the self is very difficult to achieve high results. And then, modern man is always in a hurry and busy, what else matters. However, many fitness facilities are open until late at night. In the apartment you have to allocate space for training. Not everyone can afford it. Choose a gym close to home, because the road is time consuming. The apartment deal might seem more convenient, because after a workout can sleep or eat, watch TV and so on.

But do not be fooled, because without specialized assistance, it will be difficult. The conclusion suggests itself - must go and join the fitness club. Now a lot of clubs with swimming pools. There you can improve the shape of the body and strengthen your immune system. Sometimes it happens that a man can not live without exercise. As a result, he started a health problem. Regular trips to the gym, chronic sleep deprivation, lack of appetite, negative emotions, the nomination in the first place sports - all symptoms of impending illness. To avoid this burden should be distributed properly and as soon as possible, more than a walk in the fresh air. If you do decide to do at home, you have to consult a fitness trainer who will be for you to schedule, given your data.

First, pick up clothes and shoes. Do not buy expensive equipment. Suitable for beginners bench, chairs and dumbbells and mat. If after a few months, you do not get bored, feel free to buy fitness equipment. By this time, you begin to understand what muscles to train. However, it is advisable to first try to work out of the gym at the fitness club.

Catching up at home, you'll save precious time. You will be able to engage in any day and at any time. At home you will not be distracting, and you can relax and focus on training. You can choose your favorite music, and not from complexes about their shape or awkward movements. And after playing out of turn to take a shower. All this is certainly good. But keep in mind that if you do not have strong motivation, you will find an excuse to not engage in or are you going to do anyhow. If you have trouble getting organized, the best option - visit a fitness club. There will be easier to tune in to the regime of occupation. And yet, you will have to plan for a month and strive to achieve. The club plans to distribute the load experienced coach.

But the choice is yours - the effectiveness of training depends on you, on your dedication, perseverance and daily workouts.

About a Flat Stomach Without Fools!

2011-07-13T17:38:00.000-07:00

Once again, plenty sobbed and aesthetically suffered after another staring at myself in the mirror, I set out to - by all means make a beautiful figure. Beautiful figure meant to me primarily a flat stomach and thin waist. On the thighs and buttocks of special deposits were not, but this belly, the hips! They drove me crazy.

The funny thing is that everyone around me felt thin, as I successfully wore short skirts, though, putting the top coat, buttoned. I myself did not know what all the same in me was more - thinness or completeness. I was like, thick and thin together. Thin Handle with legs and rotund tummy look nice if they belong to the baby, but not young (when I was 20) and beautiful (I hope) my mother that same infant. Since that day, I spent almost a year of tossing of a miraculous technique, which promised a week or even overnight, to transform my body to another, equally radical and fantastic. My efforts started to bring long-awaited result only when I began, finally, use common sense based on knowledge of human physiology, biochemistry and nutrition.

Representatives of the beauty industry for the most part can not stand the concept of common sense and anecdotal evidence, when it comes to human physiology. For example, the experience of hundreds of thousands of people (including me) have passed through all sorts of diets, it is known that losing weight does not mean to get into shape and reduce the amount of fat, but, nevertheless, with enviable regularity, at least once a month, my eye catches a recommendation as a few days to lose a couple pounds. Or, that year we nutritionists assert that the "calorie is a calorie, no matter whence they come," when any person with no scientific knowledge can with your eyes closed to "feel the difference" between calories and calories from cabbage of ice cream.

In this article, I refer primarily to the human sense. For obvious reasons, some may not like this approach, but in the end, I do not write for them. I am writing to you, those who need the information, which is borne out in practice. If you follow my recommendations, you will gain not only a strong body and a flat stomach, but also more energy, strength, endurance, improves your digestion, lowered cholesterol levels, to become stronger immune system. You'll be less prone to stress, at the same time will increase confidence. The quality of life, and maybe you'll live longer.

So, in order to remove fat from your waist and make a flat stomach, you need: special abdominal exercises, thought-out program for muscle strengthening and aerobic exercise to increase energy expenditure. In addition, we need nutrition program, designed to decrease the level of body fat, but this I will speak particularly.

You can often see a picture like on TV claim that any one trainer or some kind of exercise one can make the stomach flat. In fact, it's not quite true. This is called a local address, which means the removal of fat from one part, in our case, from the abdomen, while the whole body will remain unchanged. I'm not saying that local elimination is impossible. To some extent this is possible (usually up to a rather small extent), but by and large it does not work. If you start to download the press every day, no doubt, waist size is reduced by strengthening the muscles, but it will not make any comparison with the result, what could be achieved by lowering the overall level of fat in the body through a combination of bodybuilding, aerobic exercise and nutrition .

If you look in the Guinness Book of Records, it is possible to find the record set by a certain Alan Jones. There is an exercise for the press - legs locked, hands behind your head, you need to raise and lower case. Alan Jones has done this exercise 27 000 times without stopping. You would think that anyone who could "shake the press," 27 000 times without a break, certainly not the stomach, but simply "washboard" without the slightest hint of fat. But in fact, in Mr. Jones' muscles are not visible at all, especially the press. Why? Because everything is covered with a layer of fat. This simple example shows that no one, even the most effective exercise for the press itself, by itself, is not able to remove fat. And if Alan Jones on his record that did not work, do you think that a few minutes a day is enough? The only effective way to do this - to reduce the overall level of body fat. This means the press to train for the formation of the abdominal muscles, strengthen muscles strength training to speed up metabolism (metabolism), add aerobic exercise to increase calorie consumption and calorie diet to adhere to a rational, low-fat.

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever been a fat dancer? I doubt it. And have you ever seen any participating fitness competition - hard, smooth, beautiful, muscled and fantastically developed abdominal muscles? All this is the result of training and a calculated power (not necessarily low-calorie). You might be thinking: "What is common between training the muscles and my stomach? I do not want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ok, most women do not want to, at least, I have never seen such. But the main factor for a beautiful, toned body - muscle. Why? Because the muscles are biologically active, for their food requires energy. The denser muscles, more of them, the higher your metabolic rate, therefore, you expend more calories even while sleeping or resting.

In some cases, strength training is even more necessary for women than for men because women lose about a genetic muscle. In women, higher levels of body fat (an average of 25% in men by about 15%), and because of the high levels of estrogen (the main female hormone) and low levels of testosterone (male hormone), the formation of muscle mass for women is very long and complex process . And even if all your time you devote to bodybuilding, you still can not build muscle like a professional bodybuilder (unless you do not boil a young bull testosterone). The reason why many obese people can not remove excess fat, it's weak, porous and muscle, as a consequence, very slow metabolism, making fat consumption impossible.

For most women, and all the obese people weight training is not just a matter of choice. This is an absolute necessity to remove fatty deposits. As long as they do not speed up the metabolism increases muscle mass, they can never get rid of fat, even if you regularly engage in aerobic exercise and eat right. Of course, some fat is ok, but you can get results much better and faster, if at least once a week to do in the gym. Believe it or not, but that strength training, no diet and aerobics, the most effective factor for a strong body.

Another important point: you have to eat enough calories to speed up the metabolism. Many women try to lose weight by following the semi-starvation diet. Such diets promote the loss of muscle mass, which slows the metabolism even more. When slowing down the metabolism reaches a certain point, your body simply can not consume fat, no matter how few calories it receives. For us, this diet, but to our organism - a colossal lack of energy, hunger, and a direct threat to life. And instead of spending the fat begins to accumulate it, to make stock for a "rainy day". But this is only part of the problem. When you return to normal diet (just because it is impossible for life to diet), you gain more weight than the fold. If you lose 10 pounds, gain 12 pounds and it will be fat. Nutritionists call it Yo-Yo effect and should be avoided in every possible way.

Eating more food, you actually speed up the metabolism - a certain amount of calories going to digest, eating five or six small meals per day instead of two as well make the body expend more energy - your stomach will have to work every 2-3 hours. Always keep this in mind, following any diet - I hate the word diet, because that's what you eat should be a way of life, rather than short-term shock to reset the pounds.

Let's be frank. Women endomorph (medium height, with wide hips) will never look like supermodels. At the time, as all women can reduce the level of body fat and reduce waist size, not everyone can become a champion in bodybuilding or fitness model. For this, special physical characteristics, in one word - genetics. Remember that the model you see in magazines are always ectomorphs (tall, with naturally low levels of body fat, with narrow joints and long limbs), is incorporated genetically, and they do not have to do a lot of work. Their metabolism is very fast, many eat whatever they want, and the waist do not worry. Most fitness models - mesomorph (athletic, with a strong predisposition to the formation of muscle mass and low-fat), or ectomorphs with strong mesomorphic tendencies. Therefore, we must clearly understand that to remove fat and add some muscle you can, but do not change the structure of the skeleton.

Body type also determines the level of metabolism. And, although the endomorph must work harder all, I do not know any reason (except for certain rare diseases), why a woman weighing 80 pounds can lose 20-25 pounds of fat and reduce body fat to 25% during the year. "The Year!" - Someone will say - "I want to waist in a month!" But again, let's look at things realistically. The most optimal amount of fat, which can be reset so that the muscles do not fell, from 250 grams to half a kilogram a week maximum. If you ask only to lose weight, then, of course, you can starve a week, throw five pounds, but you only lose water and muscle ... which slows down metabolism ... consumption of fat that makes it impossible to ... that creates the effect of Jo-Jo ... that ultimately ends with a large weight gain. Remember that we are only interested in fat loss. Hypocaloric diet aimed at weight loss, because, unfortunately, most nutritionists do not matter if you lose (fat, muscle, bone, water, etc.), most importantly, the scales showed a decrease in kilograms. A quarter of a kilogram a week at first glance, not so much. But in the month it is 1 kilogram, and for the year is incident 12. Already quite significant. In addition, the gradual lowering of the weight keeps the muscle mass and helps to avoid Jo-Jo effect, the skin is pulled smoothly and does not sag.

But what if you want to look good in a week, for any event responsible? There are several tricks. First, go to the salon and make a wrap. Just keep in mind that this is a very temporary expedient. When wrapping the water out of the tissues (the effect of the sauna), and subcutaneous adipose tissue decreases in volume. The effect lasts a day or two, so that if the event is scheduled on Saturday night, do wrap on Saturday morning. Just remember that the water returns to the tissue very quickly. Second, there is a remarkable Waist underwear, it can be used to "hide" the stomach. And, if possible, avoid wearing clothing with shoulder pads, against a background of broad shoulders waist visually appear to be thinner. If you use all together, then I'm sure will be surprised how good you can look.

In order to generate hard news, not necessarily a clock hanging on the bar upside down, raise legs and infinitely do a hundred other exercises. I'm not talking about bodybuilders, for such a press, as they need time and a tremendous attention to nutrition and training. For in-depth, relief presses the fat content should be below 10%, usually high-level athletes. Many women do not want to go that far, because the less fat in the body, the more dry breasts. Also, if the level of fat less than 10% stopped menstruating.

If you have never held a press, you may not know that the leg raises and body are not the best exercise. In fact they could lead to injury, because if their performance is a heavy load on the lower back. Best (and safer) to isolate the abdominal muscles exercises such as twisting, curling back, "pulling a frog" and various versions of these exercises. As shown, the best method of training the press is a giant set - four or more exercises done one after another without stopping. After each giant set to relax for one minute. It is not only a well-worked out the muscles, but also the exercise becomes almost aerobic. At the end of a giant set, press should just burn, and all the exercises should be done correctly.

Try this giant set to press:
* Twists - 20 to 50
* "Frog pull-ups" on the bench - 20-50
* Reverse Crunch - 20-50
* Twisting Kallanetiks - 1 / 100

Remember that you can not rest between exercises, and only after you have finished curling Kallanetiks you can rest for 1 minute.

A few rules of training the abdominal muscles:
* Never use weights. Weight forms the bulk muscle, and I do not know a single person who would be glad to press the volume.
* Do not train the obliques directly, especially if you have wide hips and broad waist. Developed oblique visually make the waist wider.
* During exercise press keep in constant tension. Pay close attention to technique exercises. The result will be better if you make 20 times, but right, than 50 times in a slipshod manner.
* Train with intensity. Some trainers recommend a spare, they say that can do everything half-heartedly. It is certainly possible if you train for fun, but if you want a good result, you will need will be posted.
* If you have never trained or are just getting started training after a long break, start slowly, with one approach to the press, gradually bring to four.
* How often to train the press? At least three times per week, maximum - almost every day.

Aerobics
Aerobics is usually called aerobic exercise - exercise of low intensity continued for a long time. For maximum fat consumption aerobics should last at least 30 minutes to do her best every day, at least five days a week. If you are burning with enthusiasm and want to speed up the result, so you can train - 30 minutes in the morning, 30 minutes in the evening. The best results from aerobic exercise early in the morning on an empty stomach. No matter what kind of aerobic exercise you choose, the most important thing that you did it. Choose what the soul - grades shaping, aerobics, exercise bike, treadmill, or maybe you want to ride on roller skates or just jogging in the park. How hard to do? There is one simple way to determine this - the intensity at the right level, if you can with anyone hold a conversation, and if the air gasped to utter words, the load is too high. More precisely, it can be calculated as follows:

Of the 220 subtract your age, then multiply the result by 0.65 and 0.8. The resulting numbers - your range of optimal heart rate for aerobic exercise.
For example, I am 24 years.
220-24 = 196
196 * 0.65 = 127
196 * 0.8 = 156
This means that for best results, my heart rate during aerobic exercise should be somewhere between 127 and 157 beats per minute.

If you are so calculated that its figures, you will know that if your pulse does not reach the lower load is ineffective if more above, the work is to strengthen the heart and lungs, but use less fat, so the pressure must decrease slightly.

As I explained earlier, are necessary for the formation of muscle strength training. This does not mean you have to get muscular, like a champion bodybuilder, by simply adding a little muscle mass, compacted it, you'll be able to improve the look fantastic, speed up metabolism and fat burning will go much easier. Many people do not realize that improving the shape of the body is only possible with the help of muscles. If you replace five pounds of fat per 5 kilos of muscle, it will completely change your shape. Focus on how you look, look in the mirror and not on the scales. The balance does not tell you how much fat and how much you got away to gain muscle mass. Many are beginning to panic when in a few months training weight remains constant - and sometimes even increases. They forget that muscle is much heavier than fat, so weight and just stand still. All perfectly natural, and worry about it not worth it.

It is often possible to see a woman with visible fatty deposits weighing 55 kilograms, and can meet a woman weighing 64 kg, but in great shape. At the first 35% fat, 18% in the second, and it looks great, it has a flat stomach, slim waist and strong body. So do not be guided by the weights. Libra cheat.

How do I determine what weight training to your works? Very easy to wear - she will be freer. One woman told me after four months of classes: "I do not understand! Weight I have not changed, but I buy clothes two sizes too small. "And I said," This means that you simply right train. "Why leave centimeters? Because the muscles tight, and fat and big easy. Five pounds of pure muscle are much less than five pounds of pure fat. The key to the whole percentage of muscle and fat, not weight. Weight really does not matter if you're not sure of what exactly it is. Try not to drop pounds and decrease body fat.

I will not describe all weight training, just want to say in general that, as a minimum, you need to do one exercise for each muscle group, with an emphasis on the hips, glutes, abs, shoulders and chest. Train four times a week, 5-6 approaches for each muscle group. Most women do not want to stand out strongly increased arms or back, so the back and arms enough 3 approaches.

If you follow the program of these four components, the level of body fat significantly reduced, will become thinner waist, tighter abs. You will feel a more energy, feel more attractive, sexier.

Can I add something else to improve the outcome? Yes you can. There are some nutritional supplements that work very well. For example, amino acids - the building blocks for the formation of protein - to help meet the body's need for protein without adding extra calories. There is also an additive that enhance the natural production of growth hormone (somatotropin) - arginine (arginine) and ornithine (ornithine). Lipotropics such as choline, inositol and methionine help to accelerate fat burning. Chromium picolinate research to show that it helps in building muscle mass and speeds up the metabolism. ITC-oil (medium-chain triglyceride oil) supplying energy stores and muscle carbohydrate reserves can be very helpful to those on a low calorie diet. Be sure to pick up for a multivitamin complex. In my opinion, the best multivitamin in our pharmacies is the "Centrum" and "Stresstabs." Nutritional supplements will not make a miracle, but you will notice a significant difference in training and in health. Those about which I wrote, are to try them.

So, in order to make the tummy flat and waist thin, you need a complex, which includes nutrition, weight training, aerobics and special exercises for abs. All components together strengthen the effect of each several times. You do not have to live with the constant dissatisfaction with her body, you're not tied to it. It is always possible to change it, make a strong, beautiful and sexy, and all this in your will and in your hands.

As practice shows, not everyone is able to twist the hoop properly. So, to give the maximum load on the waist and do not create unnecessary tension in the back. Even more, some of our home-athletes on the sides of the waist and bruises stood out, preventing further studies. So we turned to experts who spoke about the proper technique of rotation of the hoop at the waist. It is best to rehearse in front of a mirror, until then, until you are all done automatically.

1. Starting position: feet together necessarily, hand in hand or over your head, back, strictly straight. If the legs wide apart, then not be able to effectively work through waist muscles. In the work immediately connects the thigh, buttocks, and a full range of small waist is not certain.

2. Movement waist should be quiet, rhythmic, in any case, not jerky, so as not to hurt his back.

3. No need to twist back and forth, you need to do rotational movements in a clockwise direction.

4. The amplitude of the rotation, there is a circle the waist should be as small as possible.

The perennial problem: how to lose weight? What you just did not take to get into my favorite jeans, but all to no avail.

And you already hate to try new clothes shops, because you do not go, tight blouses emphasize your fullness, you have the first signs of the disease mirror - a layer of fat on the abdomen or as the English say, «spare tire» (spare wheel) . In the evening, feeling as though you are bursting out in all directions, but nothing you can do about it. Jogging in the morning, shake the muscles at the gym, swim for two hours a day, walk at least ten miles, no - it's not for you!

Familiar feeling. How do deal with them?

I want to propose a juice therapy. This does not mean necessarily that sit all day on some juice, enough to add to your diet daily morning drinking one glass of freshly squeezed juice. Do not drink store bought ready-made juices from stores, they are a lot of sugar and preservatives that, conversely, increase your volume. Drink fresh juice in the morning, preferably 20 minutes before breakfast, and you kill two birds. First, you get rid of the toxins that have accumulated in your body, and secondly, unwittingly throw down the extra pounds.

Numerous investigations have revealed that fruit and vegetable juices start cleaning mechanisms, increase blood flow and limfoobmen, accelerate metabolism, stimulate mucus secretion, increase sweating, increase immunity and help the body fight infections.

The most effective juice for weight loss are pineapple and grapefruit. They say to keep an excellent figure, Sophia Loren, every morning drinking fresh pineapple juice, which contains bromelain, which is a natural fat burner, and also has a rejuvenating effect. It also helps cleanse the face of age spots.

But in this article I would like to focus on grapefruit and juice out of it. Grapefruit juice results in weight loss because it works in the fatty layers of the body, and is used to prevent cardiovascular and diabetes, because it reduces the level of insulin and glucose concentrations in blood plasma and removes excess cholesterol from the blood. In addition, you will be apathy, boost mood, improve sleep - if you drink grapefruit juice in the evening, you'll sleep like a baby.

In San Diego, an experiment was conducted with patients suffering from clinical obesity. The first group of subjects were invited during each meal to eat half a grapefruit, and after four months without doing anything more, on average, they lost three pounds. Another similar group was fed the same food as the first, but did not eat grapefruit with meals, and patients, on average, lost weight only 200 grams.

If you drink on an empty stomach fresh grapefruit juice or half a pineapple, which is much tastier, and before each meal to eat half a grapefruit, then you achieved weight loss over 12 weeks on average from 2 to 4 pounds, while reducing their normal diet do not need that is important.

To speed up the process of losing excess weight, you can try this diet, which helps you to log in and relieve you of unwanted body fat:

In the morning on an empty stomach to drink a glass of hot water and a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice for 20 minutes before breakfast, then lunch, as usual.
For lunch, eat before you eat half a grapefruit and eat boiled chicken or fish with vegetables.
In the evening again, half a grapefruit before a meal, a light salad, boiled chicken or fish with boiled vegetables.

On this diet, you can spend from one to three weeks and then just three times a day eat grapefruit. You are sure to lose weight and fit into your favorite jeans!

90-60-90, or How to Maintain Weight after Weight Loss?

2011-07-05T20:50:00.000-07:00

Have excess weight is not in the spirit of the time. Fashion, advertising, mass media offer us the image of business, successful women, slim, toned and eternally young. 90-60-90 notorious become an obsession for young virgins and mature matrons.

Paradox: the slender women enjoy all complete - a few. When the lady weighing nearly far or per hundredweight, smiling sweetly, said: "I do not want to lose weight! I have a husband and a love! "- Sorry, I do not believe. Hence, all the tools used, and the result is zero, and found a convenient excuse for himself.

To lose weight should be at least in order to be healthy. Hypertension, cardiovascular disease, endocrine disorders - loyal subjects of His Majesty the extra weight.

How to lose weight? Of course, to reasonable limits. There are lots of formulas by which one can calculate the weight, the best for your age and gender. I think the most accurate formula that can calculate the body mass index: BMI = weight (kg): height (in meters) squared. Normal - 20-25kg/m.kv.; 25-30 - overweight, more than 30 - obesity up 19 - shortage of weight and less than 17.5 - depletion.

So you have decided on their optimum weight. And a few weeks, even months, his teeth clenched, tormented himself a diet - the Kremlin, Hollywood, glasses, sat on the method of kefirchike favorite singer, gave all the money for overseas vaunted miracle remedy, spent the night in the bathroom after cleaning of Chinese tea, jogging the joy of yard dog, panting on the carpet in the hallway, adding in the lotus position, a dragon-tiger, leaping, like hippos in the company of nice fat at a health club, etc. etc. And each morning with a sinking heart, came to the weights: 200 grams, 300, of, a kilo! And then, finally, the weight is taken! Jess! Jess!

You look terrific! No soap climbs into daughter's jeans, in a wedding dress in the closet almost 20 years! Men on the street in no hurry to tear your eyes away from admiring the new (or well forgotten old?) Forms, and beloved husband became suddenly meet you after work each day and to call a cell every half hour. Co-worker cringe from the metamorphosis taking place before their eyes: you are no longer in fold, and a beautiful butterfly!

"Wow, now you can relax!" - You decide, and the cock starts to crawl inexorably to the usual place. How to maintain weight after weight loss? Life on a diet? Through trial and error for myself, I developed some simple rules to follow for many years.

1. The classic triad: breakfast - lunch - dinner - iron rule. Forget about the first case between breakfast and lunch at the workplace, the second with his girlfriend between lunch and dinner, and the third on the couch to sleep. No snacking between meals! I wanted to stay one's stomach - eat it with apple. And the best - drink a glass of water.

2. There can be, and sweet, and flour, but stick to the golden rule of "one-pieces." One candy, ice cream one, a piece of cake! If today you allowed yourself to meringue, ice cream is better to eat tomorrow.

3. Nutritionists recommend supper for two hours before bedtime. I tried, no result. My dinner between 16 and 17 hours. And the next morning there is absolutely not desirable. Body simply gets used to the new diet. Just do not stop immediately, dramatically, do not eat after 17 hours. First, let it be 19 hours a month - 18. Gradually bring the threshold to five pm.

4. Limit the amount of salt and sugar. Used to drinking sweet tea? Put a spoonful of sugar, not three, as love. Remember that sweet carbonated drinks contribute to fluid retention!

5. Movement - life. It is an axiom. Choose for yourself what a simple set of exercises and practice regularly. I chose Body-Flex Greer Childers: 20 minutes daily. We do not need any special equipment or a form can be done in a nightgown or pajamas. The results are phenomenal: a beautiful body, taut muscles, energize for the day. Choose what you like and brings pleasure and satisfaction.

6. Control your weight. Buy a good digital scale. And weigh yourself once every three to four days. Easier to lose an extra pound, ten.

7. Arrange fasting days every two weeks. Kefir, apple, meat, berry and dairy - all which can easily stand your body. I like potatoes: 1 kg of potatoes with the skin, without salt and fat and bake in the oven, divide into five receptions and eat with gusto.

Positive thinking, love of life and one's neighbor, a lot of sex - it is also important components of a set of rules, "How to maintain weight?"

Everyone - it's individuality. Common to all recipes do not exist. My rules were tested on himself, his beloved, and my family. There is much to be proud: in 43 years - 44 dress size! With the growth of 172 centimeters - the weight of 56-57 kg lasts for more than five years.

Good luck, dear women! It's in our hands!

How to Avoid the Extra Pounds?

2011-07-04T17:48:00.000-07:00

When the great Plisetskaya was asked how she managed to maintain a slender graceful figure, Maya Mikhailovna with her usual frankness replied, "guzzle less necessary." Absolutely fair statement, but with one amendment - smaller but more frequent.

Nutritionists advise a 4-5 times a day, while reducing the amount of portions and calorie foods. With this diet you do not have time to "brutally" hungry and lose all sense of proportion at the table.

Without limiting ourselves, we can have lettuce, broccoli, spinach, peppers, beans, seasoning dishes with olive oil. Here I may say: just try myself, lettuce, without limitation, at least with spinach, even with broccoli. So one must first of lettuce or breast cooked chicken wrap, sprinkle with lemon juice, and only then with olive oil flavor.

In the morning, instead of drinking a cup of coffee on the run with a sandwich, it is advisable if you are of course concerned about the extra pounds, eat a full breakfast - porridge, scrambled eggs, toast and lean meats.

At work, do not snack rolls, hamburgers, and even more fashionable now noodles is much more useful apple, eat a banana or yogurt drink.

Especially pay attention to him at night, when I want to heartily leisurely lunch, and along with dinner, reward yourself for daily hardships, then sit in front of the TV with a bag of chips or crackers.

Ideal - get elegant tablecloth, nice lay the table and pour the soup is not normal from the pan, and porcelain tureens. First of all, this is an excellent occasion to gather the whole family, and secondly, in such circumstances will not be poured to the brim and apply it.

Some do not restrict themselves either in stock or in the amount of eatables, the tables are not served - in the kitchen from the frying pan fried in lard potatoes at night with pickles and harmony do not lose.
This is the time to recall the main regulator of energy processes in the body - the thyroid gland. Some have it in pristine condition, others are less fortunate, so that periodic consultations endocrinologist they do not interfere.

It is the thyroid gland with its powerful hormones T3 and T4 is solely responsible for the metabolism and weight fluctuations, for heat transfer and IQ, gives the hair, eyes and skin a radiant glow. And for all her normal activities and have that 200 micrograms of iodine a day, and where to take them - a matter of taste: sea cabbage, fresh fish, shrimp, radish, asparagus, peas, peppers, persimmons, cheese, egg yolk - is to choose from.

Scientifically proven that the weight depends on the duration and sleep quality. It turns out that insomnia increases the level of hunger hormone - ghrelin and decreases leptin - a hormone that controls appetite. This explains the devastating raids on the refrigerator working at night workaholics.

So support your inner power generator, do not neglect the open arms of Morpheus, and then in spring comes rush slender, light-footed, and most importantly, very hardy gazelle.
