Health and Wellness - Weight Loss Goals

The key to any successful weight loss plan is to set some sensible weight loss goals. Setting goals will let you track your progress and gives you a definite target to aim for. You don’t want to aim too high and set yourself up for failure or even worse, risk your health by losing too much too fast. At the same time, you want to set a goal that is a little bit of a challenge. Here are some guidelines on how to come up with a sensible weight loss goal.

Don’t lose more than 1 to 2 pounds a week.
You are aiming for slow and steady weight loss. To set your goal, decide when you want to lose the weight by, and so expect to lose 1 or 2 pounds a week. So, if you figure a time term of 6 months, you want your goal to be around 26 – 52 pounds.

Even minute goals will make a difference.
Don’t feel like you have to lose a lot of weight to make difference in your health. You will see benefits by losing as little as 10 % of your body weight. If you weigh 150 pounds, losing 15 pounds may show an improvement in your overall health and the way you feel.

Use the Body Mass Index.
Feeling overweight, or thinking that you should lose some weight can be very dark. To get a better feel for where you are at, you may want to calculate your Body Mass. Tarriance http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc– bmi.htm to find out what your BMI is and what it means. Adjust your weight – loss goal so you will eventually be in the “normal” clump.

Speak to your physician.
Timetable an appointment with your general practitioner. He or skirt knows your medical history and will be able to advise you on how much you should lose. It is always a commendable idea to give voice to your physician before you start any diet or exercise program.

Set Mini Goals.
Once you set your ultimate goal and have a time – plan for reaching it, gash it up into several mini goals to reach along the way. Looking at a big goal can seem a little intimidating. Breaking it up into smaller goals allows you to focus on your first mini goal and gives you a enjoyment of accomplishment when you reach that goal. Then just move on to the next mini goal until you reach your big goal.

Now that you have your weight – loss goal and the mini goals in place, start by tackling your first mini goal. I know you can succeed by approaching weight – loss one alteration at a time. Your next challenge is just to get commenced..

Fight Inflammation with Nopal Catus

New DocumentFight Inflammation with Nopal Catus

When the Nopal cactus blooms and ripens, alighting the desert with its brilliant pink fruit, our Sonoran Harvest begins—just as it has for thousands of years.

Low-impact harvesting

Using sustainable wildcrafting techniques learned from native Sonoran ancestors, Nopalea takes only what’s needed from the extraordinary Nopal cactus. We leave most of the fruit on the plant to nourish the desert animals and ensure an abundant crop for future harvests. It’s our way of giving back, respecting the cycle of life and celebrating the harvest season.

High-impact wellness

Immediately after harvesting, we transport the Nopal fruits to our state-of-the-art processing plant, where they’re juiced to a puree and blended with other all-natural ingredients to create a deliciously unique concentrated wellness drink. Using aseptic, sterile bottling techniques, we preserve the fruits’ purity and freshness—and we ensure the potency of its powerful antioxidant betalains.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Your Successful diet Key

To shed excess pounds, forget expensive commercial diets or diet pills. Most successful dieters lose weight on their own, largely by eating right and exercising regularly, according to a survey conducted on the American website Consumer Reports.

A total of 21 632 subscribers to Consumer Reports were asked about their lifetime weight history and their eating, dieting and exercise habits. The successful do-it-yourself weight loss tactics are unveiled at www.ConsumerReportsHealth.org.

The “always thin” group – those who had never been overweight — made up 16% of the sample, while “successful losers” made up an additional 15%. Successful losers were defined as people who, at the time of the survey, weighed at least 10% less than they did at their heaviest, and had been at that lower weight for at least three years.

“Failed dieters” – those who said they’d like to slim down yet still weighed at or near their lifetime high – made up the largest group at 42%. The remaining 27% of respondents, such as people who had lost weight more recently, didn’t fit into any of the categories.

Portion control, exercise best for weight-loss Among the “always thin” group, only 3% said that they never exercised and that they ate whatever they wanted. In fact, the eating and exercise habits of the vast majority of the “always thin” group mirrored the eating and exercise habits of the “successful losers”, a finding that downplays the idea that people who are able to stay fit and trim have a genetic edge.

Both the “always thin” and the “successful losers” say they regularly eat healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and stay away from excessive dietary fat. They also practice portion control and engage in regular vigorous exercise.

The only advantage the “always thin” have over the “successful dieters” is that those habits seem to come a bit more naturally to them, according to Consumer Reports.

“When we’ve compared people maintaining a weight loss with (those) who’ve always had a normal weight, we’ve found that both groups are working hard at it; the maintainers are just working a little harder,” Dr Suzanne Phelan of the California Polytechnic State University and co-investigator of the National Weight Control Registry, which tracks people who have successfully maintained a weight loss over time, noted in a Consumer Reports press statement.

According to the magazine, more than half of “successful losers” reported shedding the weight themselves, without the help of commercial diet program, a medical treatment, a book, or diet pills. This finding confirms a prior diet survey by Consumer Reports, in which 83% of “super losers” – people who’d lost at least 10% of their starting weight and kept it off for five years or longer – had done it entirely on their own.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Obesity

Obesity is the slow killer that is giving sleepless nights to millions of people around the world. If left unchecked, obesity can lead to cardiovascular problems, diabetes, depression,sleep apnea, and many other health problems. The only way out of this mess is to find some way to shed those extra pounds around your waist. In this context, a good weight loss plan will be a great idea. Of course, everyone knows that reaching a healthy weight is possible with a practical eating plan (such as a nutrition diet) together with some form of exercise. But a best weight loss plan not only helps to reduce weight, but also assists in maintaining the weight over time.

The best weight loss plan gives tips on healthy behavior while taking into consideration your cultural needs. Of course, at the start, all weight loss plans give faster weight loss. And if you plan to lose weight following some special formula, then it is necessary to have some medical care too.

Before embarking on a weight loss plan, find out the qualifications of the staff involved in the plan. Find out if they have sufficient weight management training to help you lose weight. Gather information on what the plan basically consists of; if there are replacement of meals, exercise with food control or if they use drugs. This way you will learn if the plan carries any health risks. Ask for testimonials of successful previous participants of the weight loss plan.

Some people may prefer individual counseling; and others, group classes. So find out what the weight loss plan follows. Make sure that the weight loss program does not pose any health problems with their drugs and supplements. The good weight loss plan always has a medical professional on call to over see the program.

And of course, lastly, find out the actual cost of the weight loss plan, and if there are any recurring fees involved. Find out if there are any additional fees needed for medical tests, weekly attendance fees of any sort and if there are any supplement purchases. Once you have all these doubts cleared, you can decide on the best weight loss plan for you!

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness -Weight Loss

Here are seven steps to create and maintain weight loss

1. Start Small - Think about your current lifestyle, then decide on one or two healthier habits you could add into your life. Remember, they ought to be things you can maintain long-term.

   Perhaps you could begin by simply having a healthy breakfast every day, or maybe you could determine that you will only eat when you’re hungry and when sitting at the dinner table. Whatever you choose, keep your goals small initially, then add to them as you move forward

    

2. Keep a Journal - This tip has probably been repeated so often that it washes straight over your heard, but it’s a really important one. In fact, many people find it to be the single most important thing that helped them gain control of their weight.

   If you haven’t tried it, perhaps now would be a good time to give recording a go. You’ll want to note down everything you eat, including details of the time, place, cooking methods, and portion size, etc. You could also record your weight weekly in there, and perhaps make a note of any emotional eating, if this is a problem for you too

    

3. Don’t “Diet” - Don’t you hate the word diet? I know I do! The very term itself has such negative connotations.

   A fancy weight loss diet isn’t necessary for weight loss. In fact, you’d probably do a lot better if you just stopped dieting, and instead focused on eating fresh, whole foods most of the time.

   The problem with maintaining your weight loss on a “diet,” is that most of them don’t teach you what to do after you’ve lost the weight, they’re all about the short-term weight loss.

   Also, be realistic about what you want to achieve. This is something else I’ve noticed again and again in the recent Share posts–people want to lose too much weight too quickly. So, try not to set yourself up for a big fall by saying, “I want to lose 30 pounds in two weeks!” Disappointment will sabotage your weight loss efforts, set realistic goals instead.

    

4. Try a Portable Motivator - This could be an image of you at your heaviest/lightest/fittest–whatever works best for you.

   The idea is that it will motivate you to continue. So, if you begin to notice your resolve slipping a little pull out your portable motivator, and remind yourself of what you’re aiming for

    

5. Stick With It - Successful losers will tell you it gets easier with time.

   Studies show that people who have successfully maintained their weight loss for 2-5 years have a much better chance of longer-term success. I know 2-5 years seems like a long time, but weight loss is about change for life, so take it in small baby steps, and you’ll get there.

   According to the The National Weight Control Registry, successful losers have reported engaging in:
   * High levels of physical activity (approximately 1 hour per day)
   * Eating a low-calorie, low-fat diet
   * Eating breakfast regularly
   * Self-monitoring weight
   * Maintaining a consistent eating pattern across weekdays and weekends

    

6. Address Weight Gain Early - How many times have you started dieting, been doing really well, then all of a sudden–BANG–you’re back to square one. What on earth happened?

   Usually, it’s the result of not monitoring how you’re doing consistently, so you don’t notice things going off a little. To avoid this make sure you keep a consistent check on things, and put the brakes on any weight gain before it gets out of hand again.

    

7. Take Regular Exercise - Despite Time Magazine’s recent bunk article, the fact remains that those who continue with some kind of exercise routine are much more likely to maintain their weight loss.

Health and Wellness -Weight Loss

People are always on the lookout for good tips to lose weight. Here are some top of the range, sure to work, tips to aid people in their quest to lose weight.

Lose weight for charity

It is a good idea to lose weight not only for yourself but also to help raise money for charity. This is like a double edge sword, not only are you helping other people by raising money for charity but also the fact that you are will help increase your overall will power. If you fail you will not only be letting yourself down, you will also be letting down the charity. It does help you stay the course.

Lose friend with a friend

Like the first tip this helps you keep accountable. Attempting to lose weight on your own can be quite difficult. Losing weight at the same time as a friend enables both parties to bounce off one another and to keep each other positive.

Write down everything you eat

There is a famous saying that you are what you eat. This is totally true. By writing down everything you eat should help you to stop eating so much of those fatty foods which you know you should be avoiding., like the odd ice cream or donut.

Watch those calories

Before eating any item always check how many calories is in the food as well as the fat content. You may be surprised; even some pasta dishes can have a high calorie count, so watch the sauce.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness -Weight Loss

If you are serious about weight loss, I mean, healthy and permanent weight loss, it is important for you to set realistic goals. Most people have no set goals in mind except that of losing weight very quickly. The quicker they can lose weight, the better. They have no idea of how much time it takes to lose weight healthily.

Diet: These people get attracted to fad diets and weight loss pills that promise the moon. While they end up losing a few pounds, that is not fat loss. With most of the fad diets, you will lose more water and muscles than fat. I am sure you will agree that this is an unhealthy way of losing weight! Moreover, such weight loss is not permanent. Sooner or later you will regain all your ‘lost’ pounds.

One more thing: your aim shouldn’t be to have a body like Jessica Alba or Victoria Beckham; remember that they have money to help them maintain that slim figure, which you probably don’t have.

Moreover, you don’t need to be like them. To become healthy, all you need is to lose enough weight so that you can reach your ideal body weight! To do that, you won’t need to use any fad diets or starve for weeks. All you need to do is to eat right and include the right dose of exercises with it; with this combo, you are sure to lose all those tenacious pounds!

I would suggest that you forget about the word ‘dieting’ and focus on healthy eating instead! For starters, you can replace fizzy drinks and soda with water; this way, you will be able to quench your thirst without getting any fatter. Some people think that soft drinks that come with the ‘low-calorie’ tag are okay. However, this is wrong! Low-calorie soft drinks not only taste bad, but being deprived of fructose, they make you crave for sugar.

You should also replace white flour with whole grain wheat. Whole grain wheat contains little fat. Being rich in protein and fiber, it will help you with weight loss!

Exercises: Speaking of exercises, weight training is one of the best exercises for quick weight loss. Contrary to what women think, not only is this exercise not just for men, it also won’t take away the femininity of women. As a matter of fact, if one wants to build huge muscles like bodybuilders, the presence of a hormone called testosterone is important, which women don’t have. Besides, bodybuilders aren’t able to build muscles just by doing exercises. They also use protein shakes, supplements and steroids to acquire the muscular body.

There are many other benefits of exercises than just weight loss. Exercises will make you more energetic; you get this extra energy by burning your fat deposits. Apart from that, you will also be able to sleep more soundly.

Another way you can benefit from exercises is that they help you build strong lean muscles, improve your immune system and stamina. Exercises also help in improving the tone and appearance of skin, something which most women are obsessed with!

Vitamin D and Bone Loss

American experts say that vitamin D supplementation should be increased to help promote bone health and ward off diseases like osteoporosis.

According to TriVita, "the key to bone health is calcium and Vitamin D. These are the two essential ingredients that will help you maintain the strength of your skeletal system, ensure regular cellular activity, proper cardiac function, and preserve the health of other vital body systems."

Today, I'm posting the latest Health and Wellness article by Brazos Minshew, TriVita's Chief Science Officer. He explains the nature of bone and how we can prevent bone loss.

Reversing Bone Loss
by Brazos Minshew

The shocking statistics – according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation:

• 10 million people in North America have osteoporosis.
• 80% of those affected by osteoporosis are women.
• 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over the age of 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture as they age.
• Following a hip fracture from osteoporosis, 1 in 4 people will die within a year (the death rate is twice as high for men as for women). Also, 1 in 4 will become complete invalids requiring long-term care.
• Only one-third of the people suffering an osteoporosis-related hip fracture will heal and return to a normal life.

A childhood disease?

To understand the process of premature bone loss we must first understand the nature of bone. Your bones are alive. But every cell in your skeleton has a lifespan. It is "born" from stem cells, it lives for many years and then it dies. When it reaches the end of its lifespan, a new bone cell replaces it.

During our youth, there are more new bone cells being born than there are old bone cells dying. As a result, our bones get longer, bigger, denser and healthier. By our teen years our bones reach PMD (peak mineral density). Therefore, the healthier our bones are as children, the longer they will last as we age. Good nutrition during childhood is so important because we are building a healthy bone foundation for our senior years.

At about age 30 the rates of bone cells being born and those dying are about equal. By age 40 the pendulum definitely swings to the other side and the amount of bone cells dying every day exceeds the amount being born. Over time, your bones become thinner, less active and are more challenged to support your body.

Bones that thin too fast are called osteopenic. About 45 million people in North America suffer from bones that are too thin. When thinning continues to the point where a bone resembles Swiss cheese (full of holes and pores), the condition is said to be osteoporosis. The bone at this stage is diseased and can fracture with the slightest stress.

Reversing premature bone loss

The best way to reverse a problem is to help prevent it in the first place.

Children and adults up to age 30 should:

• Take a calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D supplement every day.
• Focus on leafy green vegetables as a dietary source of calcium and magnesium.
• Get at least 20 minutes of direct sunshine on 40% of their body every day as a natural source of Vitamin D.
• Perform weight-bearing exercises most days of the week.
• Adults over 30 should do the same things. However, bone-building requirements for adults (including supplements) need to be more rigorous. This is especially true if they have any risk factors for osteoporosis.

Growing new bone

Regardless of your age or bone density, you can help slow or stop the process of bone loss and you can start producing new, healthy bone cells. All it requires is a little time every day for exercise and sunshine, plus the right nutrients. The nutrition you need is found in whole foods – especially leafy green vegetables. Supplements can also play a critical role by providing the intense, specific nutrients needed for restoring healthy bones.

TriVita's VitaCal-Mag D™ is designed for people under age 30 as well as those over that age who have no risk factors for bone loss.

TriVita's Bone Growth Factor™ is designed for people over 30 who have risk factors for osteoporosis. This disease is characterized by the decrease in bone mass and density; i.e., the bones thin and become more porous. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, there are many different risk factors for this disease, including genetics, age, gender, menopause, certain medications and others. (For a full list of risk factors, see the National Osteoporosis Foundation link listed under the Learn More! section below). Because Bone Growth Factor has been clinically proven to re-grow bone, it is an ideal supplement for those that have Osteopathic risks.

The good news is that you can add more new, healthy bone mass every year you follow these steps – no matter how old you are or how thin your bones are. Help turn back the clock on bone loss with proper lifestyle choices and intense nutrition.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness -Crash Diet

1. Dieting No-Nos

Regardless of how much you want to lose weight and how fast you want that weight loss to occur, you should never put your health at risk by dieting. While some crash diets may help you to detoxify your body and lose weight in the process, others are extremely dangerous. It is best to avoid any diet which restricts your vitamin and mineral intake, for example diets which recommend only one or two types of foods. Diets that limit calories below 1,500 a day or that simply make you feel bad are not a good idea.

2. Drink Your Way to Weight Loss

Juice fasting may have a bad rap, but it is simply because many people do not know how to perform a fast correctly. The truth is that a juice fast can help to detoxify your system and help speed weight loss. To perform a juice fast, consume as much fresh pulp-free fruit and vegetable juice as necessary to satisfy hunger; however, do not fast longer than 7 days without doctor supervision, as your body will need to replenish its protein stores after 7 to 10 days. Don’t abuse a juice fast either, limiting the diet to no more than 10 days in a 30-day period.

3. Super Soups and Salads

One of the best crash diets out there simply replaces your regular meals with hearty soups and salads. Healthy soups and salads prepared with a variety of fresh vegetables and whole grains and garnished with low-fat dressings ensure that you body gets all of the vitamins and minerals it needs while eliminating unhealthy fats and aiding in weight loss. Remember that vegetables are far lower in calories, so you may need to eat more than usual to feel satisfied; however, feel confident in your diet as everything you are ingesting is good for your body.

4. Taking Things One Meal at a Time

If you are looking to lose just a few extra pounds, replacing 1 meal a day with a weight loss supplement is a fantastic crash diet. There are a multitude of meal replacement powders and pre-made drinks which are full of vitamins and minerals, supporting your heath during your diet. Remember that for meal replacement to work, you must supplement your daily diet with 2 well rounded and healthy meals.

5. Just Say No to the Yo-Yo

Remember that a crash diet must be performed in a healthy manner to show long-term results. Avoid cutting back too much on calories for any period of time, as it can effect your metabolism and actually cause you to gain weight faster. Consider crash diets as a healthy aid to permanent weight loss, and supplement occasional dieting with a regularly healthy diet, exercise and a positive attitude.

Choosing a perfect weight loss diet is a challenge for people. In order to get expected results from a diet plan people need to adopt the best weight loss diet, or else they will not be able to achieve their fitness goals. A wrong well loss diet plan can ruin the chances of burning fat quickly.

So, what kind of diet is best suitable for people looking to lose weight quickly. Well, practically it is a matter of debate as accurate diet plan may differ according to the current physical status as well as the pace of losing weight that someone wants.

However, in general there are a few things which are common in every suitable weight loss diet plan. Some of the most important aspects of a weight loss diet is explained below

Proper Balance of Nutrients – Like any balanced diet for a healthy people, a weight loss diet should have proper balance of all essentially required nutrients so that the body can get all its requirements fulfilled during dieting period. Therefore, people are advised to take cereals, seasonal fruits, and green vegetables.

Light and Frequent Meals – To stay healthy one needs to stop the tendency of overeating. The concept of eating light and frequent is the best way to maintain health and hygiene of body. Cutting excess amount of food from meal will be a wonderful idea. Taking fruit salad or a glass of fresh fruit juice is advisable in case the you are feeling hungry.

Making Weight Loss Diet Tasty and Interesting – While undergoing dieting, people should not adopt uniform eating habits. That means, if you are suggested to take spinach soup that does not mean you have to take it every time you feel hungry. It is better to stick to nutrients rather than objects to eat. You are free to alter your diet until it is not affecting the overall intake of calories and fat. In summary the weight loss diet should not be boring, rather make it tasty and interesting but most importantly healthy.

However, one thing which is important to note during weight loss plans is “dieting does not mean starving whole day on a continuous basis.” Following such kind of principles may result in long term harms. Starving is a totally wrong concept in dieting, no diet expert will suggest anyone to follow it. Weight loss plan should be complemented with a guided exercising plan to provide instant weight loss. Adopting morning and evening walk in everyday routine

Many people are seeking to lose weight through sensible healthy nutritional regime rather than going for an unhealthy and fad approach, but are unsure on the first move in the weight loss process. Well the best guide for this to use your own common sense.

Most people involved in weight loss program have already gathered enough information to discover what is good for their weight loss .This knowledge enable them to decide whether the food stuff is healthy or not, or can it help in weight loss. This affects their diet.

Generally it all comes to a matter of balance. There are certain things available, usually food stuff that can help you loose those extra pounds and can help you to get in good shape.

Dieticians agree to the fact that including fresh fruits and vegetables, daily in your diet is going to be good for health. If you are not on a low carbohydrate diet Wholegrain food such as rice, Pasta, whole grain bread are accepted to be beneficial in weight loss process and are also healthy food stuff.

Now a days drinking is in focus for those people who wish to achieve good health and are under a weight loss program. In general, high consumption of alcohol is not good for health and cause health problems, but consumption of alcohol in small quantities may not be a bad thing, many say a glass of red wine a day is good for the heart.

A lot of nutritionists think that spring water is good for health and a few of them think that water can also be helpful to those who are concerned of weight loss. Few people are in a favor of drinking water before their meal which can give them an edge over their hunger and allows them to have small meals without even thinking that they didn’t had enough. Lean meat and fish are also a group of food that, if taken occasionally can be beneficial to weight loss and health. Also pulses, seeds and a few dieticians advise nuts as beneficial.

There are food that are not advised by dieticians as they does not support weight loss, such as sugar products such as pastries, chocolates, many fried and deep fried food such as French fries. Although a limited amount of olive oil is suggested by health professionals. It is not only the food that you eat but also the way in which you eat, like skipping of meals has a negative effect on your health and weight loss process. A lot of people skip their meals especially their breakfast and many health experts recommend that this in not a way to achieve weight loss and neither it is a healthy way to start your day.

Here are some basic diet tips which together with exercise will help you reduce your weight

1- Incorporate a lot of fiber (at least 25 g a day) - Great sources include whole fruits, vegetables, Fiber One cereal, oatmeal, whole grain bread.

2 - Drink LOTS of water – I drink to quench thirst; I don’t force myself to drink a certain amount. But I do try to get as much as I can, of course living in the tropics means I need to keep well hydrated.

3 - Eat lean sources of protein - I favor eggs, extra lean ground turkey, skinless chicken breasts, low-sodium deli turkey, but avoid fish as I do not like it.

4 - Avoid high-fructose corn syrup - This stuff has made it’s way into almost everything over the last couple decades. Everything from ketchup to bagels to frozen pizza contains HFCS.

5 - Avoid hydrogenated and partially-hydrogenated oils - These are trans-fats. They do nothing but increase the shelf-life of foods. *TIP: Many packaged foods that claim to be “Trans-Fat Free” often still contain some hydrogenated oils!

6 -Be a label reader - I take my time to read the labels on every packaged item I buy at the store. *TIP: The first 3 ingredients on the label make up the bulk of the product.

Health and Wellness -Weight Loss

Our metabolism’s primary task is to nourish our brains. We need healthy neurotransmitters to help us curb craving, ease depression, and deal with stress that lead to weight gain. Balancing our natural brain chemistry has a calming effect and allows us to feel a sense of well being and safety. There are many natural health care products to help balance brain chemistry, e.g. essential fatty acids, natural depression relief products, natural products to increase serotonin, and more. When our brain feels well and safe, it is prone to change our metabolism from calorie saving to calorie burning.

Our bodies were designed to move and be active. Movement requires muscle activity. Muscle activity uses the glycogen supply found in our muscles. When this glycogen supply stored in our muscles is used, our body is forced to use stored fat as an energy source. Using this stored fat through movement and exercise, results in natural weight loss. There is no reason for us to become athletes to accomplish natural weight loss. Low impact exercise like swimming, walking, etc, can be done slowly and without strain. In order to lose real weight rather than "water weight", it is important to drink extra amounts of water when exercising. Drinking more water will also help our digestive system and metabolism to use and eliminate extra weight.

Remember, the first objective, accomplished through natural weight loss, is to improve our physical and emotional health. This involves having a healthy digestive system, a healthy emotional system and a healthy nutritional system. We can build these healthy systems with natural vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, natural digestive aid, pain relief aid, natural sleep aids, natural emotional and mood aids, essential fatty acids and many more helpful natural health care products. We need to concentrate on improving our general health, feeling good, and living well through natural weight loss, rather than constantly comparing ourselves to someone else’s idea about appearance from some magazine. Physical and emotional health is primary. Appearance may be important to us, but it is secondary. Through natural weight loss, we can live well and live long.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

I've been writing about omega-3 fatty acids for some time now, and I still feel that a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids has so many good health benefits. I've mentioned several times that "omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development."

Today I found an article that confirms what I've been saying all along. The article below strictly focuses on omega-3 fatty acids, and how they protect our bodies.

"Changes in the Western diet over the past 150 years are causing many Americans to develop nutrient deficiencies. This is especially true of essential nutrients and fats found in fish and wild plants. More folks are eating high amounts of animal products and pesticide-laden fruits and veggies. And it's no secret that there are far too many processed foods lining grocery store shelves.

A nutrient-lacking diet can cause or worsen major depression and may contribute to:

• Mood swings
• Insomnia
• Fatigue
• Weight loss
• Headaches or other chronic pains

One way to lift your mood and possibly help prevent depression is with omega-3 fatty acids. These fats are essential for your diet—and should be supplemented since your body doesn't produce them on its own. Omega-3s are the best source to help prevent blood clotting, lower blood pressure and relieve inflammation. These healthy fats are found in fish, flaxseed, winter squash, olive oil, navy beans and various nuts such as walnuts, Brazil nuts, hickory nuts and macadamia nuts.

Krill oil contains a healthy balance of omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids—which helps fight infection. These two fatty acids need each other and work together to prevent other inflammation-related ailments like heart disease, arthritis and diabetes. Krill has also been shown to improve your blood pressure levels, relieve your premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms, reduce your cholesterol levels and decrease your risk for heart disease.

Be sure to balance your meats and veggies with healthy amounts of omega-3 fats. You can say 'goodbye' to the blues—and improve your overall health, too."[1]

It's quite possible that the changes in our diet over the years have caused us to become "nutrient deficient", especially when it comes to some essential nutrients like those found in fish and wild plants. All of this leads to health problems that many of us could avoid.

Changes in your diet, which should include omega-3 fatty acids, will get you on a healthier track, and provide you with many health benefits. If you don't like fish, taking omega-3 supplements can provide the needed essential fatty acids. Since it's so important to your health, I recommend TriVita's Omega Prime.

I came across a book called The chopstick Diet by Kimiko Barber (Kyle Cathie), which suggest that you can lose weight by eating with chopsticks. you see chopsticks prevent you from just wolfing down food which is a disaster for your waistline.. Taking smaller mouthfuls and pausing between each one would mean the message "I'm full" would have time to travel from stomach to brain before you devour enough to feed a family of four.

The problem is that a knife and fork make it too easy to shovel it in. So your salvation could be a pair of slender chopsticks. According to Kimiko Barber, the London-based Japanese author of The Chopsticks Diet, they are her countrywomen's secret weapon against getting fat. "In Japan, food is served in smaller portions and is designed to be eaten with chopsticks which slow you down, so you eat less."

Happily, the modern oriental recipes in her new book aren't all chilly plates of sushi – there are plenty of steaming bowls of soup and noodles to keep the cold out.

The dishes are low in fat and animal protein and rich in vegetables, seaweeds, fish and seafood.

Health and Wellness -Weight Loss

Losing weight is no simple feat. It requires a tremendous amount of perseverance, discipline, and determination. Although thousands of online weight loss help articles are scattered over the Internet, it is hard to find that single answer and short cut to weight loss. Nevertheless, sifting through the pile of online weight loss help articles is important to find that right information that will aid you in your weight loss journey.

An online weight loss help can range from providing detailed information about a diet program or regime; or it can also provide you self-help tips to lose weight on your own. Another aspect of online weight loss help is weight loss support groups, wherein an online community is established to help people who want to lose weight, by giving them guides and counseling to better aid their weight loss journey.

Weight loss tips

The most rampant online weight loss help you can find over the Internet is weight loss tips. Weight loss tips can range from the mundane “eat less” mantra to the far-fetched “get psychiatric help” tip. Nevertheless, a weight loss tip is trusted by many, because of the use of so-called personal testimonials of people who have had first-hand experience with a particular weight loss method.

But before you go about trusting just about any weight loss help offered online, you have to be wary. You have to make sure that the offered help comes from a reliable source. It is easy to pass off information as credible, so it is important to trust only information provided by reputable websites.

Weight Loss

More and more over weight people have been searching for none harmful, positive alternatives to get rid of unwanted body fat without the side effects of prescription drugs. Yes, natural weight loss is becoming a very popular subject these days. Losing weight naturally is less harmful because it typically becomes a part of your daily lifestyle, it takes less effort, and, in turn, it lasts much longer.

Natural weight loss in it's simplest form is eating less, and exercising regularly. It's a much slower process, and it can be less painful than surgery and /or using prescription drugs. Losing weight naturally is the process that lets your body rid itself of excess body fat without adding extra emotional stress. It may not be the fastest way, but it is, by far, the safest way to get rid of excess weight.

Let's start with diet and nutrition.
Not only will a proper nutritious diet help you lose weight, but research shows that good nutrition can help to lower the risk of many chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, some cancers, diabetes, and osteoporosis. However, as the facts show, there's a large gap that remains between healthy dietary patterns and what Americans actually eat. Statistics show that back in 2005, about 1 in 3 U.S. adults ate fruit two or more times a day, and 1 in 4 ate vegetables three or more times a day.

If you fall into the two-thirds of Americans that do not eat enough servings of fruit a day, or the three-quarters of Americans that do not eat enough vegetables a day, your probably in the wrong category. Fruits and vegetables are required as part of a healthy diet and are needed to get the proper nutrition. Some supplements may replace the vitamins and minerals lacking from improper diet, but needless to say, there is nothing that can replace the all natural vitamins and minerals that come from real fruit and vegetables.

It is possible to lose weight by eating food that your body requires to function properly.

Why lose weight?
There are many people that want to loss weight simply to look better. However, even though physical appearance is often a strong motivator, the health implications of being overweight or obese should not be ignored. Even a 5-15% reduction in body weight can help reduce your risk of weight-related health problems. I believe that the number one reason people want to lose weight is the fear of health problems.

Most dieters have weak reasons for wanting to lose weight, so they start and then usually give up in a very short period of time. Reasons like "I'll feel better", or "it'll make my spouse happier", are weak reasons. With a weak reason, there's no incentive to lose weight. On the other hand, a strong reason, like health issues, usually motivates someone pretty quickly.

Regular habits aren't easy to change, especially if it means cutting out our favorite non-nutritional treats. I believe the only way to make a lifestyle change is to find a strong incentive (motivational means) that will help us make that change. The easiest way to create an incentive to what to make a change is to ask yourself a question, how will I benefit from losing weight?

The very first thing someone needs for natural weight loss to be effective is to adapt to new self-consuming habits. The secret to natural weight loss takes a lot less effort if you create a plan and just follow the plan. Weight loss is not going to happen by chance. It has to be a concerted effort, and it can only begin with you. You health is dependent upon you taking action.

A study in 2007 challenged the popular notion that a high carbohydrate, low-fat slimming plan only works if there’s little or no sugar involved.

The exclusion of sugar (sucrose) is normally advocated in a weight loss diet but now researchers have found that it is not necessary to achieve weight reduction.

A team of scientists at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh found that instead a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet (containing sucrose) combined with physical activity achieved the greatest health benefits in overweight subjects. In fact, the palatability of sucrose may even help dieters stick to their eating plans.

As part of a 12-week programme, 69 overweight women (average age 41 years; average body mass index 32 kg/m2) were given advice on either diet, physical activity or both. A fourth group acting as the ‘control’ received no advice.

Measures of body fat and markers of heart disease risk (such as waist circumference and cholesterol levels) were collected at the beginning and end of the trial.

The advice followed healthy eating guidelines and recommended: a reduced daily calorie intake, which was low in fat (35 percent of calorie intake) and high in carbohydrates (55 percent of calorie intake) that one tenth of their total calorie intake included sugar.

An increase in activity levels focused on including sixty minutes of brisk walking per day. The researchers noted that after three months, the group combining the sugar-containing diet and activity changes recorded the greatest positive health outcomes, compared with diet or exercise alone.

Significant reductions were observed in body weight (4.7 percent loss), waist circumference and percentage body fat. Measures of blood fats (total cholesterol and LDL) had also significantly improved. The study not only highlights the need for dietary advice to accompany increased physical activity in order to achieve weight loss, but also demonstrates that a low-fat, high-carbohydrate, sucrose-containing diet combined with increased exercise can be effective for slimming.

Are you trying to lose weight? If you are, there is a good chance that you will start your own weight loss program. When many individuals start their own weight loss programs, they do so with the help of a number of weight loss products, like diet pills or exercise equipment. If you are interested in buying these types of weight loss products, you need to always be on the lookout of scams, as they do exist.

When it comes to weight loss products, like exercise equipment and diet pills, many people automatically wonder how they can tell if they are being scammed. Unfortunately, you often cannot tell by reading an advertisement in a magazine or online or by watching a television infomercial or even by looking at the weight loss product in question. The best way to determine if the weight loss product you are interested in buying is really worth your money is to do research first.

When it comes to researching weight loss products, there are a number of different ways that you can go about determining if the product or products you want to buy are worth the cost. One of the easiest ways to go about doing so is by visiting the online websites of retailers that allow their customers or the general public to rate or review their products. Many consumers like to alert others to a product that is a waste of money or even alert others to a product that is well worth the cost. If you are able to find weight loss product reviews, you are advised to read them.

When reading weight loss product reviews, like product reviews for diet pills or exercise equipment, it is important to remember that no product is perfect. Even the best products, like the ones that come highly rated and recommended, will have a few bad reviews. What you need to be cautious of is any weight loss product that has more bad reviews than it does good reviews. This is a surefire sign that the weight loss product in question may not be worth your money.

You can also find product reviews or just specific weight loss products being discussed by performing a standard Internet search. When performing a standard Internet search, you will want your search phrase to be the name of the weight loss product in question. Your standard Internet search may lead you to online message boards where weight loss and other health issues are being discussed. These types of websites and message boards are a great way to also learn about weight loss products that you may not have otherwise came across.

Another way that you can determine if you are being “scammed,” by a weight loss product, is by examining the online website of the product distributor or manufacturer. When you buy a diet pill or another weight loss supplement, you should be provided with as much information as possible. Be cautious of any product whose website only claims to help you lose weight, but doesn’t explain how it is done. The same can be said for exercise equipment.

Finally a great way that you can determine if the weight loss products you are interested in buying are worth the money is by speaking with your doctor. Often times, you don’t even have to schedule a visit; a telephone call should get you the answers that you were looking for. Most doctors can let you know if a weight loss pill or supplement that you are interested in buying is worth the money. If they can’t tell you about the specific product in question, there is a good chance that they can at least review the ingredients with you. For exercise equipment, your physician may also be able to provide you with advice.

Of course, if you have the money to spend on weight loss products, you may be interested in going ahead and buying the product or products in question anyway. That is fine to do, but you also need to remember that many weight loss products, especially the ones featured on television infomercials are priced relatively high.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness -Weight Loss

The greatest problem when it comes to diet and weight loss programs is for many people weight loss is not permanent. It could be a matter of days, weeks or months; the simply fact is that most people during this time put back most or all of their lost weight. This can cause anxiety, anger and frustration at the time and effort put towards following a weight loss program that has not delivered the desired results.

So whose responsibility is this for this lack of permanent weight loss;
is it the person doing the diet or the diet plan that is being followed itself?

To answer this question fully; involves firstly looking at the psychology of many dieters, as well as the choice of diets available out there. Most people think weight loss programs have to be complicated to fit in with age, sex and body type.

As I am about to reveal many weight loss programs on the face of it look complicated, however this unnecessary complication is mainly to differentiate it from the competition. It can be very confusing to know which diet plan to follow with so much choice out in the marketplace.

Many weight loss programs out there make themselves different from the competition, by using different daily calorie ratios for the 3 main nutrients found in food. The three main nutrients are proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

So for example, what you can have is high, medium, low and zero daily calories of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. There is so many different combinations you can have with these 3 main nutrients use to make a weight loss plan. There is little wonder that there is so much competition out there with a vast number of different weight loss plans.

So why do so many diets fail people and why isn’t there one diet out there that has proven to consistently achieve permanent weight loss.

The real answer is to turn the first question around; instead it should read why do so many people fail in their dieting. This leads to answering the second question; there isn’t a diet that guarantees permanent weight loss, because it depends very much on the individual who is carrying out the diet. So instead of recommending which diet you should follow, you need to understand why people fail diets in the long term, this can lead to stopping the cycle of putting weight back on when lost, thus achieving permanent weight loss. Generally almost all diets work by using the different combinations of fats, proteins and carbohydrates for your daily calorie intake. In the short term by burning up more calories than you intake you will lose weight.

Recent studies back this up; when the popular commercial diets were compared against one another over a 6- 12 month period, they mostly showed similar weight loss results. One major study concluded that the person adhering to the diet, rather than the diet itself was the main indicator of whether the weight loss program would work or not.

So what this shows clearly that, the most likely way to succeed in achieving permanent weight loss depends on how well you adhere to a weight loss plan in the long term. So how can this be achieved?

A solution to achieving permanent weight loss lies in looking at making lifestyle changes; developing new positive habits that involve following weight loss programs in the long term. The simply fact changes like this simply do not happen overnight and take weeks, sometimes months to become an integrated part of a persons life.

The sad fact is most people there are looking for a magic wand to end their weight loss problems. Many turn to drugs and surgery for an immediate result. Unfortunately drug use and surgery can have side effects or unknown long term consequences.

So the safer and more effective way to permanent weight loss is to reduce your calories and do your diet program for the long term. By developing these habits over weeks, months and years you ensure that weight loss will become permanent for you.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness -Fad Diets

There have been many diets recommended by various people all claiming to be effective and promising things that sound too good to be true. However, the definition of a fad diet is simply one that gains and loses popularity very rapidly.

Fad diets include the Atkins Diet, the Cabbage Soup Diet, the South Beach Diet, the Zone Diet, the Negative Calorie Diet, the Low Fat Diet, the 3 Day Diet and the Low Carb Diet, to name a few. One I recently came across is the Lemonade Diet which is a short term diet that is meant to serve as a detoxification routine, allowing your digestive system to take a break whilst burning excess fat stores as well. The idea for the Lemonade Diet was proposed by Stanley Burroughs in 1976,and is also known as the Master Cleanser Diet. The Lemonade Diet usually lasts 10 days, with a 3 month break before resuming the diet. It is a very strict procedure that allows only the intake of lemonade. Hence, this diet is known also as a cleansing diet or a juice fast. When on the Lemonade Diet, it is crucial that you consume approximately 12 glasses of lemonade each day.

This lemonade has to be made specifically with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1/6 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.This provides your body with approximately 100 calories per glass, or 1200 calories a day. In addition to the lemonade, you are allowed to consume only water or peppermint tea to prevent dehydration. The diet begins with a glass of salt water flush in the morning, followed by the consumption of lemon juice throughout the day, as your only source of energy. It ends the day with a glass of laxative tea.When you wish to get back to your normal diet, it is important that you go through the ending process to allow your system to readjust.

This necessitates a gradual shift to raw fruits and vegetables for approximately 3 days. Bear in mind that whilst weight loss will occur with the Lemonade Diet, it may not be healthy, and the diet is used mainly for detoxification purposes. It is not recommended as a weight loss regime, and if used for long periods of time may lead to fat storage. It is also not suitable for children, or people with health problems. Due to the nature of the Lemonade Diet being similar to a fast, you may experience symptoms such as headaches, fatigue and nausea.

It is recommended to embark on this diet with a professional or with medical advice, and if the symptoms are too severe the diet should end prematurely. Whilst the Lemonade Diet will kick start your weight loss plan,it should be viewed as a detoxification routine and not a diet plan.

Any weight loss during the diet is a result of fasting,and the weight loss is easily gained back if one is not careful.Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle is crucial to maintaining your weight after you complete the diet.

Weight Loss Plan

Health and Wellness -weight loss plan

If you are looking for the best weight loss program available today on the market, then you should continue to read this article. I am not going to tell you the product name or so just to let you join the lose weight program. You see, not all weight loss program is suitable for you. It might work for your sister, but it might not work for you. In order to look for the best weight loss program, you need to conduct a research based on these simple steps.

Step 1 – Look for program that offer support

This step is very crucial to your success because you probably may need some advice after trying out the program. It is a human nature to feel even more motivated once there is someone who guide you all the way.

When there is no support, you probably will stop doing anything that is related in solving your weight loss problem because there is no one to aid you. Many people fail to lose weight because they easily get frustrated after they feel to see some good result fast.

Step 2 – Find out if the program offered a refund

This is only applicable if you join weight loss programs on the Internet. If the programs really trust their own product, then it will be no problem for them to offer you refund if you fail to lose weight fast. Getting your money back after spending on program that is not working for you will definitely give you some relief feeling.

Bear in mind, you are not going to get a refund if you join weight loss programs outside there in the market beside online.

Step 3 – A good program must include exercise as one method to lose weight

You may prefer a weight loss plan that has some exercises routine that you can apply into your daily life. Exercise is still consider the best way to lose weight no matter how good any weight loss product is. You can always skip this one if you really do not want to exercise.

Step 4 – Make sure the program has a plan or schedule

Some programs only tell you what to do, you need to eat this, you must stay away from that and it goes on and on. Only by having a proper plan or schedule can make you lose weight even more effectively? If a program does not provide you with schedule or proper plan, then you might as well look for another one.

I hope the above has answered your question on how to look for the best weight loss program. Make sure you follow the steps one by one and do it all so that you will not regret later on.
