4 Essential Foods To Help You With Weight Loss

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

Do you know that you can lose weight by eating certain foods? Sounds unbelievable, I know. After all, the so-called ‘experts’ have probably always advised you to starve in order to lose weight. Now, the foods I’m going to tell you about don’t contain any special metabolism-boosting chemicals that can help you with quick weight loss.

The fact is that your body needs to burn a lot of calories in order to digest these ‘special’ foods. As you might be aware, the more calories you burn, the faster you lose weight!

As we become older, our metabolic rate slows down considerably! Ever wonder why most people gain weight during their middle age? During middle age, a person’s metabolic rate becomes low; hence they are  not able to burn as much fat as they used to during their youth. Eating these ‘special’ foods is, however, a good way of boosting your metabolic rate! In this article, I will tell you about some of these foods:

1.  Green Tea: If you are in the habit of drinking morning tea, replace it with green tea! Ordinary tea is not bad, but green tea is even better! It contains fat burning chemicals which will help you with weight loss. It is no wonder that many of the weight loss supplements available in the market have green tea as a common ingredient!

2.  Peanut butter: Peanut butter is a great replacement for the ordinary butter. Unlike ordinary butter, which is rich in fat, peanut butter is rich in protein and fiber, both of which will help ou with weight loss. While protein will help you burn fat by building lean muscle mass, fiber will help in suppressing your appetite for a long time. I would recommend that you buy the natural ones and avoid the popular commercial brands. Try it with wholegrain wheat for breakfast!

3.  Almond: There are two types of fat available: the good and the bad fats. The bad fats should be avoided because they make you fat! Good fats, on the other hand, supply your body with essential nutrients such as fatty acids. Almond in  one such food. It is rich in fatty acids and protein. Almond helps you burn fat by boosting your metabolic rate!

4.  Beans: How successfully you are able to suppress your hunger will detemine how fast you are able to lose weight. Beans make for a great appetite supplement. Since they are rich in fiber, they help to keep your stomach full for a long time.

2 Reasons Why Low Calorie Diets Don’t Work!

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Are you planning to follow a low calorie diet plan in order to lose fat weight? Before you do that, read this article to find out why low calorie diet plans don’t work!

Many people have said that they followed certain popular low calorie diet plans for a few weeks only to find out that they haven’t lost much weight. As such, they felt that weight loss is impossible and therefore, they quit the diet program altogether!

The number one reason why low-calorie diet plans don’t work is: when you eat low-calorie foods, your body basically remains malnourished. You feel sick and tired at all times. Forget about exercises, you don’t have enough energy to complete even your regular activities. All these thing happen because your metabolic rate is low!

If you want to lose weight successfully, you need to keep these two things in mind:

1.  Calories are not your enemies: Calories are not what you should avoid; calories are required to supply your body with the necessary nutrition and energy. When your body gets enough food, it’ll increase your metabolic rate, which will automatically result in weight loss!

The bad calories are those that are found in junk foods. So while you won’t accumulate fat by eating 10 apples per day (even though a single apple contains almost 100 calories), you will surely get fat by eating 10 burgers!

That is the basic difference! You need to avoid empty calories (that is, junk foods) and embrace negative calorie foods, such as fruits and vegetables. Now,  negative calorie doesn’t mean that there is no calories in these foods; it only means that in order to digest themselves, these foods will force your body to burn more calories than what they provide! This results in calorie deficit which will ultimately result in weight loss!

2.  Muscle building is a must: Do you know that in order to maintain themselves, muscles burn a lot of your calories? This in effect means that the more lean muscles you have, the faster you will be able to lose weight! Eating protein-rich foods is a good way of building lean muscles; working out regularly in the gym is another. There is another yet advantage of eating protein-rich foods: you won’t feel hungry as often; as such,the possibility of overeating is almost non-existent.

When you eat low-calorie foods, you are not able to build muscles; instead, you LOSE muscles. When your body doesn’t have enough lean muscles, it is not able to burn fat since your metabolic rate remains at an abnormally low level. So that is one more reason why low calorie diets don’t work!

Most of these low calorie diets will only help you lose water and muscles. While you may be misled into believing that you have actually lost several dozens of pounds, you have not lost the single most important thing that is keeping you from becoming slim: and that is FAT! Unless you lose fat, there is no way you can become fit!

Are Carbohydrates All Bad? The Truth Revealed!

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Lack of education among the masses is one of the leading causes behind so many weight loss failures. As a matter of fact, lack of education gives birth to several misconceptions and superstitions! One such misconception is regarding carbohydrates. People think that carbohydrates are all bad and that if one can reduce carbohydrate intake, or even better, totally avoid carbohydrates, then weight loss will become easy! However, that is completely wrong!

There are actually two types of carbohydrates available: the good and the bad. You should of course avoid the ‘bad’ carbohydrates but the ‘good’ ones will provide your body with the much needed nutrition and energy. In this article I will tell you what types of carbs you should consume and which ones you should avoid to ensure quick weight loss!

1.  The Bad Carbohydrates: In case ou don’t know, processed foods contain a lot of carbs. However, they are bad carbs. These foods do contain some nutrition in their natural state but as soon as they are processed through several food processing stages, much of their nutrition and value is lost! What is left are empty calories which only make you fat and nothing else.

Examples of such foods are chips, white bread, pasta, soft drinks, cakes, biscuits, candies, etc. These foods should be avoided at all costs, if you are serious about weight loss. that is!

These processed foods contain a lot of sugar and as you might be aware, sugar is rich in calorie content. The more sugar you consume, the fatter you become! These foods offer very little nutrition to your body and since they have very little fiber content, they are easily converted by your body into fat deposits.

Apart from weight gain, eating processed foods regularly can also result in diabetes, since your  sugar levels increase so much that it becomes extremely difficult for insulin to control it!

2.  The Good Carbohydrates: So what are good carbohydrates? Good carbohydrates can usually be found in natural foods, such as raw fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, wholemeal pasta, wholegrain wheat, etc. These foods contain carbs for sure but not the ones that would make you fat! Unlike the fast carbs contained in the processed foods, these are slow carbs which take a long time to digest; therefore, you don’t get fat! Plus they also contain a high amount of fiber. Fiber will keep you full for a long time! If there was ever a natural way to suppress your appetite, then this is it!

Remember that not all carbs are bad. Making the right decision regarding carb consumption can result in quick weight loss!
