What is The Best Food for Weight loss

2013-09-22T10:03:00.002-07:00

As a nutrition major I recommend to eat 5 meals daily which include snacking.

For example: Breakfast (8:30 am)- consider having a breakfast of 250-300 calories, Mid-Morning Snack (10:30)- almonds (any other nut) and a plain Greek yogurt, Lunch (12:45 pm)- eating a salad sounds cliche but it REALLY helps be sure to add Feta, or goat cheese.

Add veggies such as broccoli, asparagus, carrots, cucumbers, etc. Mix in some fruits like strawberries, tomatoes, peaches, oranges, or tangerines. Snack (2pm)- Apple with reduced fat peanut butter or Carrot sticks and hummus. Dinner (5pm)- Eat a cup of vegetables before beginning your meal, drink water also, have 4 oz of meat, a cup of rice/potato.

Avoid snacking while cooking the food because this can cause you to gain weight. At first sugar cravings will be tough (you won't be able to stop thinking about candy and junk food) but time yourself (15 minutes) and drink lemon water, if you still want your craving indulge in a tiny piece.

Be confident in yourself never let anything get in the way of your health, and remember that we are our biggest enemy!

If you are looking for an effective, natural way to lose weight and body fat, look into the honey and lemon juice remedy for weight loss .This natural diet aide really works!

My Friend has not changed any of her eating habits or exercise regimen in addition to drinking the lemon juice and honey remedy for weight loss. She simply drinks a tablespoon of honey with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in an 8 ounce glass of water twice a day, immediately upon waking and just before she goes to bed. Her weight loss of nearly 8 pounds in just 1 Month in doing nothing to her diet or exercise other than adding the lemon juice and honey to her daily water intake is pretty impressive.

How to Lose Weight - The Basics of Weight Loss

2012-01-07T05:50:00.000-08:00

At it's most basic, losing weight is about burning more calories than you eat. That seems simple enough, but if were really that simple, none of us would have a weight problem. Too often we take drastic measures to see results -- diets, pills or those weird fitness gadgets on infomercials that promise instant success. Maybe you lose weight but what happens when you go off that diet or stop that crazy workout program? You gain it all back and more. The real secret to weight loss is to make small, lasting changes. The key is to forget about instant results and settle in for the long run.

Rules of Weight Loss

To lose one pound of fat, you must burn approximately 3500 calories over and above what you already burn doing daily activities. That sounds like a lot of calories and you certainly wouldn't want to try to burn 3500 calories in one day. However, by taking it step-by-step, you can determine just what you need to do each day to burn or cut out those extra calories. Below is a step by step process for getting started.

Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate). Your BMR is the amount of calories your body needs to maintain basic bodily functions like breathing and digestion. This is the minimum number of calories you need to eat each day. Keep in mind that no calculator will be 100% accurate, so you may need to adjust these numbers as you learn more about your own metabolism.
Calculate your activity level. For a week or so, keep an activity journal and use a calorie calculator to figure out how many calories you burn while sitting, standing, exercising, lifting weights, etc. throughout the day. Another, easier option is to wear a heart rate monitor that calculates calories burned. After a week, add your totals for each day and average them out to get a general idea of how many calories you burn each day.
Keep track of how many calories you eat. For at least a week, enter and track your calories online (e.g., with Calorie Count) or use a food journal to write down what you eat and drink each day. Be as accurate as possible, measuring when you need to or looking up nutritional information for restaurants, if you eat out. After a week, add your totals for each day and average them out to get a general idea of how many calories you eat each day.
Add it up. Take your BMR number and add your activity calories. Then subtract your food calories from that total. If you're eating more than your BMR + your activity calories, you're at risk for gaining weight.

Example:

Mary's BMR is 1400 calories and she burns 900 calories with regular exercise, walking around and doing household chores. To maintain her weight, she should be eating 2300 calories (1400 + 900= 2300). However, after keeping a food journal, Mary finds that she's eating 2550 calories every day. By eating 250 more calories than her body needs, Mary will gain about a pound every 2-3 weeks. This example shows how easy it is to gain weight without even knowing it. However, it's also easy to lose weight, even if the process itself can be slow. You can start by making small changes in your diet and activity levels and immediately start burning more calories than you're eating. If you can find a way to burn an extra 200 to 500 calories each day with both exercise and diet, you're on the right track.
Try these ideas:

Instead of Do this

An afternoon Coke -Drink a glass of water. (calories saved: 97)
An Egg McMuffin -Eat a small whole wheat bagel +1 Tbsp of peanut butter (calories saved: 185)
Using your break eat sweets -Walk up and down a flight of stairs for 10 minutes (calories burned: 100)
Hitting the snooze button -Get up 10 minutes early and go for a brisk walk (calories burned: 100)
Watching TV after work - Do 10 minutes of yoga (calories burned: 50)

Recipe for Homemade Vegetable Soup

2010-09-17T22:39:00.000-07:00

Homemade food is always the nicest, and often the best for you as you don’t need to put any extra nasty ingredients in it to make it taste as good as shop bought. Out of all the homemade foods, homemade vegetable soup is one of the very best for taste, ease of preparation and weight loss. It is also a good way to get rid of any vegetables that you can’t find anything else to go with or are nearing their use by date and are getting to the stage where they are about to be thrown away. You should include a soup in your lunch menu no matter if you seek for weight loss or just want to eat a balanced meal. Soups are not only a good nourishment for weight loss, they also aid digestion, prevent constipation and offer numerous other benefits.

The homemade vegetable soup is yet another addition to the list of weight loss soups presented so far at WeightLossTips.co.uk. It fits the profile along with the tomato soup recipe and with the other recipes available on our website. This soup is really easy to prepare. Even people with low cooking skills can prepare a simple and quick vegetable soup. Here is a basic recipe for making a healthy and good-tasting homemade soup that should serve up 4 portions:

Recipe for homemade vegetable soup – Ingredients
• 1kg of your favourite mixed root vegetables (carrots, celery, leek, onion, parsnip, potato, swede, turnip, sweet potato and anything else you think will work well)
• 75g butter or margarine
• 2 cloves of sliced garlic
• A bay leaf
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 300ml vegetable stock

Recipe for homemade vegetable soup – Method
1. Wash and prepare the vegetables, trimming, and peeling where necessary and then slice them up.
2. Heat the butter or margarine in a large pan and add in the vegetables, garlic, bay leaf and a little salt and pepper depending on how you like your soup to taste.
3. Stir the mixture well and cover it up with a pan lid for 15 minutes over a hot hob, with occasional stirring.
4. Add your stock, bring to the boil, then cover the mixture and allow it to simmer for 30 minutes – this time can be altered if the vegetables to make sure the vegetables end up perfectly tender.
5. Remove the bay leaf and strain the soup – make sure you keep the liquid that remains!
6. Blend or mash about half the vegetables and add them to the liquid from the previous step.
7. Liquidise the remaining vegetables until they are at a soup-like consistency and add to the other half of vegetables and liquid.
8. Taste your soup and add salt and pepper to your liking – it’s ready to dish up!

Soup, in general, is good for weight loss. The homemade vegetable soup is made almost entirely out of vegetables and this combination makes it even better for weight loss. A particular pro of weight loss soup is that you can modify the recipe to fit whatever vegetables you have going spare in your home so you will never waste a single vegetable again. More, you will end up with a soup that tastes completely different every time you make it. This prevents the routine and allows you to eat a soup everyday. You can alternate the vegetable soup with, tomato soup, cabbage soup and other weight loss soups.
