Healthy Weight Loss without Diet?

August 10, 2009

healthy weight lossThe key to healthy weight loss is DON’T DIET. What does it mean? When we think about diet, actually we think about starving ourselves and barely eating. Remember, when you starving yourself, your body will protect itself by turning to survival mode and will slow down our metabolism, burning fewer calories. So, whatever calories you do take in, it will be stored instead of burned thereby causing weight gain instead of weight loss.

Now, if you want to lose weight with the healthy way, and of course without diet, you need follow these tips:

1. Eat your Breakfast
I will never boring to suggest you to eat your breakfast. Another key to healthy weight loss is to eat your breakfast. Having a healthy meal in the morning helps you jump-start your metabolism. The food you eat after you wake up will help you to burn fat all day long.

2. Eat small and healthy meals frequently
Instead of 3 big meals a day, 5 small healthy meals per day is more powerful in losing weight quickly. Eating your meals more frequently, and in small servings, can prevent overeating. Eating frequently also speed up your metabolism and burn calories faster. You'll also find that you're not as ravenously hungry when you split your meals into 5 small meals a day.

3. A realistic and healthy weight loss goal
You will be able to reach your goals if you make a commitment to reach it. And to have a commitment, you need to set realistic goals, impossible for you to lose 40 pounds in 2 weeks so why even think about trying to do it. Be realistic! Make a decision that you want to eat healthy to stay healthy for the rest of your life.

4. Drink lots of water
Your body needs water to burn fat, flush out the impurities, and keep your cells hydrated and healthy. About 60% of our body is made up of water so water is an important factor in healthy weight loss. Try to get in 8-12 cups of water a day to keep hydrated, more if you lose a lot of water through exercise (i.e., sweating).

5. Monitor your fat intake for healthy weight loss
Fat is not the culprit to being overweight. You need some healthy fat to help keep your weight at the proper level. Plan to include healthy fats such as walnuts, almonds, olives, peanuts and canola oil. Tuna, salmon and mackerel have omega-3 fats which are good for the heart.

7. Move more often
Walk, instead of drive, if you are only going a few blocks from home. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Go out and do something you enjoy like jogging, cycling or skating. Find ways to actively use your body to perform day-to-day activities or chores at home if you are too lazy to go to the gym or take exercise classes. The more you move, the easier it will be to achieve a healthy weight loss.

Negative Calorie Foods for Losing Weight

August 9, 2009

negative calorie foodsBack to the old statement that said “You gain weight because your calorie intake is more than your calorie expenditure.” And because of this statement, many people fail in dieting. Why? Yes, because they cut their calorie intake, starving, and skip their meals. Actually the answer is doing more physical activities. Well, if you don’t have a time or if you don’t like it, then the answer should be speed up your metabolism! How?

How to speed up your metabolism? Simple, you can follow the calorie shifting diet, FatLoss4Idiots, etc. But in this article, we will learn about negative calorie foods. Negative calorie foods, help you to expand more calories than you take in, resulting in a decrease in the stored calories in the form of body fat, and you experience a weight loss.

Why the negative calorie foods help you in losing weight? Because our body needs to expand more energy to extract calories from these foods, need more calories to break down the foods and digest than the calories the foods actually contain. And the good news that you want to know is the extra calories are taken up from the stored fat in the body. That’s why the negative calorie foods are ideal for reducing the body fat and for losing weight quickly.

Let’s say a piece of dessert consisting of 300 calories may require only 150 calories to be digested by our body, resulting in a net gain of 150 calories which is added to our body fat! So if you eat 100 calories of a food that requires 150 calories to digest, then you have burnt an additional 50 calories simply by eating that food. These 50 calories are used up from the stored fat in your body!

And I’m sure you want to know the example of the negative calorie foods. These foods are widely available in nature, such as asparagus, broccoli, beets, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, carrot, garlic, papaya, spinach, turnip, zucchini, apples, oranges, lettuce, grapefruit, pineapples, strawberries, and raspberries.

You can search more on the Google or maybe you want to add another negative calories foods at the comment below.

Include these foods in your daily diet and plan your diet according to food pyramid. You will be amazed to see the fast weight loss results.

9 Steps to a Healthy Weight Loss (part 2)

August 7, 2009

healthy weight lossHere another tips for you that will help you to lose those unwanted pounds with the healthy way:

6. Get supported
Join with the people that have the same goals like you, it can be your family or your friends. Take a walk with them every day. They won't make faces when you order something for your health rather than for the fun of it. In fact, why not get a group together? That way, if one person is not available, maybe someone else will be. People who "go on diets" tend to start avoiding people, and that often is at least a part of the reason they fall off the diet wagon.

7. Sleep enough
When your body is tired, certain chemical changes take place and substances are released that contribute to weight gain. It is easier to get involved in activity when you are rested.

8. Have fun
You need to enjoy life. If you lose weight and feel healthy, you will want to enjoy life, and you will feel good about yourself. Then you if enjoy your life, you will probably be more active, and this, combined with other beneficial effects related to weight gain and weight loss will help your healthy weight loss. Go on. Have some fun.

9. Don't quit
This is the important thing that you need to know, when you are on a healthy weight loss program, your weight loss will be slow. Many people are disheartened when they think of only losing one or two pounds a week on average. However, that would be a weight loss of 52 to 104 pounds in a year and 104 to 208 pounds in two years! To put that in proportion, I had a friend who had a gastric bypass. She was told that even with surgery, she would probably only lose about 75 pounds in her first year, and the weight loss would slow down in the second year! Many people could accomplish similar results just by building up to a daily 20 to 30 minute walk and by cutting a few empty calories out of their diet.

And the last from me, be happy with your results because there is no failure until you give up completely.

9 Steps to a Healthy Weight Loss (part 1)

August 6, 2009

healthy weight lossHere are some tips for you that will help you to lose those unwanted pounds with the healthy way:

1. Think health
First at all, you need to set a positive goal. Secondly, doing the things to make yourself healthy is easier to sell to yourself and to others than "trying to lose weight". These are normal. Look, if you eat a second piece of pie, you have slowed down on your path to health, but you can get back on track within minutes simply by going for a walk or remembering to use sweetener in your drink rather than sugar.

2. Eat smart
Remember, the things that make you overweight are not how much what you eat! But what and how you eat. And it involves all sorts of convoluted decision making. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits, also remember the protein, but not a ton, and stay away from stuff with sugar. Teach yourself to use artificial sweeteners instead of sugar, and start looking at labels.

3. Drink water
Many times we interpret the body's signals as hunger when we are actually thirst. That’s why a glass of water will satisfy what we believe are hunger pangs. Keeping the body properly hydrated helps it process toxins and perform a myriad of functions more efficiently.

4. Eat smaller but more often
Eat small, healthy meals and snacks 5 times a day. One failure mechanism built in to a diet is the denial of food. It is not just the denial of pleasure of food and eating, but your body also react one way when food is denied, and another when it is regularly supplied daily with small healthy meals and snacks.

5. Move more often
The most effective weight loss strategies must include the exercise. But, many people have no idea about the best exercise for losing weight that they should do. Well, most of them don’t realize that the simple and enjoyable activities such as biking, gardening, swimming, or even follow the dancing class can be part of an exercise program.
