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!

Does Capsaicin Work As A Bodybuilding Supplement

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Every product in the market claims to encourage fat loss. The public infatuation and obsession with fat loss are cashed on by the growing number of manufacturers. However, bodybuilders need to be careful. They are most careful about the bodybuilding supplements and their nutrition because their bodies are their fortunes and identities. Many favor organic bodybuilding supplements as they dislike ingesting or eating any artificial materials that goes into their bodies. Many bodybuilders swear by capsaicin, a popular fat loss supplement. But exactly how effective is it?

The stuff that makes chili peppers hot is capsaicin. As an irritant for humans and animals, it is best known for the burning sensation in any tissue that it touches. The characteristics of pure capsaicin are colorless, odorless and a texture varying from crystalline to waxy. The riot pepper spray has capsaicin as the active ingredient. It is used to give food on the dinner table a “spicy heat”. It is also used as a method of fat loss and a supplement in bodybuilding nutrition in the weight rooms.

Studies Show_

Fat cells can cause fat cells to self destruct as found by scientists in Taiwan. Scientists used preadipocytes as their subjects in laboratories which were cells developing into fat cell. A capsaicin extract was created in the lab infused with fat, contained in test tubes, with the extract for eight days. They made the extract fresh every other day. As a result, the preadipocytes exposed to the capsaicin died off before developing into fat cells. The Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry published the results of the experiment.

The effect of capsaicin on the bodybuilding diet is still debated. As an organic bodybuilding supplement, there is no authority to regulate it. Thus, any claims made are not supported by “conclusive evidence” in the eyes of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The results of scientific experiments are promising especially those connecting capsaicin to weight loss. Apart from capsaicin preventing the formation of new fat cells, it also decreases the appetite and reduces body fat.

Humans were used in another study to test the effects of capsaicin on human body fat over a two week period. Before the study, the metabolic rate of each subject was measured. Their weight, body fat and metabolic rate was measured every half hour after taking the extract or after taking placebo tablets.

Subjects who took the capsaicin experienced a substantial rise in mean metabolic rate at 30 and 60 minutes after taking the extract making it an organic bodybuilding supplement. 70% of the subjects who took the capsaicin extract had reduced body fat. Those subjects who had higher fat content at the beginning of the study had the greatest effect of reduction of body fat. Based on hand held body fat measuring devices, they experience a loss in fat, not water.
