Central Control of Satiety. Research showed that there is a serotonin type-3 (5HT3) hindbrain receptors which mediates cholecystokinin (CCK) -induced satiation in response to nutrients entering the small intestine. It appears that the CCK-1 and 5-HT3 receptors participate in the inhibition of of food intake by integrating both intestinal and gastric satiating signals. Hormonal Control of Assimilation or Storage: You have heard about the link between the stress hormone cortisol and weight loss. Excess stress may lead to high cortisol levels that stimulate your appetite with the end result being weight gain or difficulty losing unwanted pounds.

Saturday, January 16th, 2010Weight loss/fat loss basics
Monday, January 11th, 2010The cataclysmal information overload on weight/fat loss issues most often leaves people confused. This is very logical because there are a lot of controversial ,ambiguous and conflicting tips,secrets and recipes on these matters. There is a real war out there and the loot is the money of the deliberately misinformed,misguided and manipulated people. Fitness imposters and charlatans try to outbid one another by giving groundless promises and trying to feed unrealistic expectations. Weight/fat loss industry is a multi million industry and therefore attracts many vultures and hyenas. I strongly urge you not to fall prey to their mercenary motives! There are no effortless solutions,no shortcuts,no magical secrets. If there existed such methods all of us would be sylphids and models!But obviously we are not!! Instead the problem of obesity is a real plague,an unprecedented menace for the developed western countries! Am I right or not? Am I exaggerating? What really exists is solid knowledge,the power of our minds and the unshakeable faith of a strong character to achieve his wisely targeted weight/fat loss objectives! In this articleI will try to give you my best knowledge on weight/fat loss issues. The rest remains for you. I hope you will honor yourselves First and most important:work it in your mind!Mind dominates the body. Harness your mind ,make it identify itself with the big cause:weight/fat loss! You cannot rinse down sins,bad habits and mistakes of many years in only one month,can you? So learn to loathe all unrealistic pledges!Look the other way! Keep in mind that you will need clever and consistent work. For the first 2-3 months you will need a plan to work on. The long-term goal will be the full detachment from plans and the adoption of a self-regulating,active lifestyle. This will happen after you can achieve full exploitation of the super-weapon called “mind”. Though,until that time comes you will need to have a plan! Ok then!We are ready to embark on the trip to weight/fat loss! Let’s set together a both realis?ic and ambitious objective: to lose 0. 5kg of fat/week On first thought this target might appear quite modest! Think it over! This meens a whopping 26 kilo per year!Any comments? And what if I said you that in order to achieve this “modest” goal you will need to reduce your maintenance caloric intake by an impressive 22%? This might probably change your view,eh? Where does this 22% derive from? I take 2500cal as a maintenance caloric intake for an average person. 0. 5kg of fat is equivalent to 7700/2=3850cal/week or 550cal/day. 550 equals to 22% of 2500. (I take 7700 and not 9000cal per kg of fat because human body fat contains water too) Now please ponder over the promises/allegations of losing e. g. 1kg/ day! To achieve this we would need to literally eat nothing and additionally burn- in a magic way ?-another 7700-2500=5200 cal! It’s preposterous as exactly is the promise! Now let’s go to our plan. We need to create a daily caloric deficit of 550 cal. Since we are sane and mature people we forget all exotic solutions and turn to the solid facts. We are going to use a combination of physical exersise and a diet regime. To proceed only with a restrictive diet is not a clever strategy for the following reasons: 1. This caloric reduction is quite severe and practically difficult to follow for a long time. 2. We are going to lose a lot of valuable muscle mass and this is the last thing we need. What we really need is to improve our body composition by burning/losing fat and maintaining or- even better- increasing our precious muscle mass. 3. Our bodies will interpret this severe caloric resriction as a real menace for their existence and will try to react by reducing our metabolic rate and by activating our fat storage mechanisms. These are very undesirable consequences indeed and will raise serious obstacles towards the completion of our mission. For all the above reasons we will forget this option and adopt a plan which combines physical exercise with a mild and nutritionally sound caloric restriction. Tips about nutrition 1. First thing ,you will need to create a mild caloric deficit of let’s say round 300cal/day. For this reason you will need to count calories- something I personally detest! However there is no other way in this phase. Later,and as you gain control you will be in the position to stop this boring to death habit 2. Second you will need to preserve your muscle mass. To achieve this you will need to receive 1. 5-2gr of first quality protein per kg of weight. And this must come from real,unprocessed foods. No supplements,no nothing!Just plain,good food. 3. Finally you will need to support your immune system in this phase. Consequently you will need big quantities of micronutrients. You should eat only the most nutritionally dense foods and forget every type of junk food. I strongly advise you to read my article:”Fitness and nutrition:the big picture” Tips about effective workouts 1. Depending on your level of fitness you slould exercise at the maximum intensity you can comfortably tolerate. 2. You will need both strength training and an aerobic activity. 3. Five short mixed type workouts per week are advisable. These should last 30-35′ and burn about 400 cal each. I like very much total bodyweight workouts,HIIT and sprints. I have found them to be the best investment for my limited workout time. To get some powerful ideas please take a look at my following articles: “The best outdoor workout ever” ( see how humble I am!) and. . . “The most effective workout ever”(ditto!) To your great health! Chris Strogilis
Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet - Drawbacks and Strengths
Friday, January 1st, 2010During the past years, the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet has been evolved as one of the most popular diet plans today. The diet advocates a theory called the Shifting Calorie or Calorie Shifting Theory. The idea behind Calorie Shifting is to increase our metabolism rate by stimulating our bodies to burn additional fat through giving signals that the calorie level is low. Based on personal experience and discussions with other people also using this diet, the drawbacks and strengths of Calorie Shifting are: Drawbacks: 1. Without Commitment And Determination no Success. The Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet claims to be the easiest solution for fast and sustainable weight loss but according to my experience, without commitment and determination you’ll never have the desired success. Even though, the diet is easy to implement and to follow, it’s up to you to comply with your diet plan or not. This diet is not just like a weight loss pill treatment where you throw in your drug and forget about the rest. 2. Claim of Losing 9lbs in 11 days is very difficult to achieve (if not impossible). The diet claims that one will be able to lose as much as 9lbs in 11 days. Many people might be attracted by this number whilst others will be alerted that it sounds dubiously. The weight loss success depends basically on the consequent application of the diet plan, the reduction of daily calorie intake and also physical activities. From my personal experience, I decided to reduce my daily calorie uptake by 500 calories (accumulating to 3500 cal less per week) to achieve an average of 1900 cal per day. For a convenient planning of my daily diet plan, I used the Online Menu Planner that came with the Fatloss4Idiots handbook. With this strategy, I was able to loose 6 pounds in the first month, 4 pounds in the second and again 6 pounds in the third one (accounting for about 2. 7 lbs in 14 days). I achieved this weight loss without starving myself or increasing my physical activities. I talked to 5 friends and relatives using the Fatloss4Idiots diet plan strictly already for more than three months and evaluated their dieting results. As a conclusion, the average weight loss in 11 to 14 days was only 7. 6lbs instead of the claimed 9lbs. All of the interviewed dieters were exercising more than usual during the application of the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet. Anyhow, I found it difficult to come up with an exact number as several evaluated persons did not control their weight on a daily basis. I personally feel that the claim of losing 9lbs in 11 days is rather an exaggeration and maybe should be seen as an upper limit rather than the rule as only very few will be able to achieve this goal in just 11 days. 3. No Permanent Weight Loss if not Continued. I recognized that once I stopped following the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet and tried to enter in my previous “routine” again, my weight started to increase again. Therefore, even though this diet plan does work and all people who used it really lose weight, it is not more than a temporary solution if you don’t adjust your lifestyle after dropping the extra pounds. Anyway, after experiencing the diet and adopting to the new eating habits, you’ll recognize how easy it is to continue with this diet and you will do it almost automatically. 4. Other Drawbacks There are no clinical studies presented on the official website The Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet does not apply any appetite suppressants (which are not natural) There no formal fitness regimen addressed on the official website The diet requires that you change quite drastically your daily eating habits. Not everybody may be ready to manage this. Strengths: 1. Simple Diet Plan. Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a simple and unique weight loss diet that is learned via the official website with low start-up and no follow-up costs. I purchased/tried several other diet programs but this one really is different from each and every other diet program I know. The diet book contains loads of information about weight loss techniques and reading the book you recognize how easy it is to follow this diet. 2. Healthy Diet Plan. Most of the people I talked to (and including myself) prefer a weight loss method that doesn’t use appetite suppressants or other expensive food supplements. As the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet does not exclude any food group, in contrast to other diets like the low carb, low fat, low cal etc. , you don’t need to worry about unbalanced nutrition. This is probably the most healthy diet plan you’ll ever find. 3. Highly Effective Diet without Starving Yourself. Even though the claim of losing 9lbs in 11 days is rather an exaggeration, experience shows people using this diet are losing weight very rapidly. It is in particular useful for people with a low metabolism who tried already other diet plans without success (including myself). With some more physical activities, it should be no problem to lose between 7 and 8 lbs in two weeks without too big effort and, most important – without starving yourself. 4. Avoiding the feared Weight Loss Plateau and Rebound Effect. Weight Loss Plateau is a stage when after initial weight loss you are not losing pounds any more, independent on the consumed calories. The Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet with Calorie Shifting is a proven method to overcome this Weight Loss Plateau and to avoid the feared rebound of lost weight. Your body will receive different calories each day. One day you will consume 1500 calories and the next could be 1100 calories, derived from different types of food. This way your body does not establish any eating habit, it keeps burning calories and maintains high rate of metabolism even when you are eating less. The result is a faster weight loss, avoiding the feared Weight Loss Plateau and the Rebound effects. This is the main reason why this diet is that successful. It targets your metabolism rate as the root of most weight problems, instead of simply reducing the calorie intake. 5. Online Diet Generator. When purchasing the diet handbook, you’ll get access to an online diet generator. I found this tool very helpful and used it a lot for defining my daily menus. The diet generator creates 11 days of basic meal plans based on your food preferences. As a conclusion, for most people the strengths by far outweigh the drawbacks. This is the reason why this healthy diet is considered as one of the best and most powerful weight loss methods currently available.
Discover the simpliest fast weight loss diets plan
Sunday, December 27th, 2009Losing weight is not really easy. It takes dedication, motivation and determination. But by making a few easy changes you can get the ball rolling on losing weight. If you’re serious about fast weight loss with diets, these steps help get you there. The key is to dedicate yourself to these changes and do them consistently. You will see result soon. But by following these steps . . . you may find it’s a little easier than you think! Step 1: WHAT YOU EAT First up, let’s take a look at some simple ways to make significant improvements in your fast weight loss diets plan ELIMINATE OR SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE RED MEAT If foods like burgers or fries are basic to your current diet, cutting out can go a long way in helping you make healthier meal choices and losing weight fast By building your meals around fish and poultry, you can more easily keep temptation at bay by eliminating many poor fast food and restaurant choices, which are over-sized and high in fat. To keep your shellfish, fish, chicken, and turkey diet-friendly, be sure to choose the right preparation method . Be wary of creamy, high-cal condiments that come with entrees, like tartar sauce or special sauce on grilled chicken sandwiches. Step 2 CUT OUT Unhealthy FOODS Keep your healthier choices truly healthy by grilling, baking, roasting, broiling or boiling them. Keep things interesting by adding low-cal condiments to your usual fare. A tangy barbecue sauce will give boiled chicken a kick. Lemon-herb dressing will complement broiled fish deliciously. Make sure your spice rack is always stocked with plenty of herbs and spices so you can doctor up your favorite dishes to your own taste without adding any additional fat or calories. Plant an herb garden and you’ll never run out! If you often eat fast food, forget that “value meals” and “combos” even exist; they seem like a better deal, but they’re just not worth the extra calories! Stick to a grilled chicken sandwich or a child’s hamburger and a side salad (watch the dressing!) when you’re on the run. Step 3. START WITH SOUP OR SALAD. Having a salad or cup of soup for starters can be an at-home habit that pays off in pounds-lost. They can curb your hunger, prevent over-eating, and help you stay in control of portions, all of which are crucial to losing weight. Choose a broth- or tomato-based soup like minestrone (rather than a cream- or milk-based choice). Vegetable soup made with broth, stock, or tomato soup is ideal, because the veggies will help fill you up and give you a fiber and nutrition boost. Top your salad with low-cal dressing or balsamic vinegar. An added plus of having a salad before every meal is getting more fiber, something many of our diets are short on, which will also help you feel fuller sooner. Be sure to include lots of veggies and dark mixed greens like spinach in your salads. Step 4. FINISH WITH FRUIT. Instead of reaching for the cookie jar or helping yourself to dessert after meals, make a point to finish off with naturally-sweet fruit instead of sinfully-sweet treats. Not only will you save fat and calories, you will also have the added benefit of extra vitamins, minerals and fiber. Few of us eat as much fruit as recommended. In time, you will become accustomed to foregoing sweets and you’ll look forward to your healthier treat just as much.
11 Quick Weight Loss Tips
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009Tip 1: Never Skip a Meal Eating petite and more frequent meals helps to level your caloric intake during the day and keeps your blood sugar in a balanced state. Rather than eating 3 large meals, try to eat 5 - 6 smaller meals throughout the day. Tip 2: Allow Yourself a Treat Every person has his or her favorite treat(s). Simply give yourself a tiny indulgence sporadically, but be mindful of the frequency and the quantity. Eliminating all of your favorite treats usually leads to an early relapse. Tip 3: Understand Your Labels A product labeled with a fat-free claim does not necessarily mean that it is also low in calories. Similarly, a product labeled as low-carb does not mean it is also low in fat. Always carefully read the nutrition label on the packaging to ensure that you know exactly what you are receiving. Tip 4: Determine Exactly How Many Calories You Need [Daily Caloric Need] = [Body Weight in lbs. ] x 15 + ([moderate activity in minutes a day] x 3. 5) Since you wish to lose weight, your target = [Daily Caloric Need] - 500 cal For example, if you weigh 160 lbs and you achieve 20 minutes of moderate activity every day: You Daily Caloric Need in this example would equal (160 x 15) + (20 x 3. 5) = 2400 + 70 = 2470 cal. Subtract 500 calories from that total; 2470 - 500 = 1970 cal. Therefore 1970 cal is your daily caloric intake goal for losing 1 lb per week! Tip 5: Eat Raw, Whole, Organic Foods If possible, purchase only fresh foods and avoid all processed and convenient foods such as fast food. Packaged and processed foods are often much higher in sodium and fat content, and contain less nutritional value. Tip 6: Eat at Least 5 Servings of Fruits and Veggies Every Day Fruits and vegetables are full of beneficial vitamins, fibers, and antioxidants. They fill up your stomach fast, so you feel full earlier. And, they are also very low in calories. Tip 7: Watch your Portion Sizes One serving of pasta would generally equate to 1/2 cup of pasta. However, most every restaurant you visit will serve a pasta dish with about 4 servings of pasta!!! Take home the leftovers. Tip 8: Stay Away from Worthless Drinks Juices, soda, & sugar in your coffee all add up. Always drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. This will keep you full, hydrated, and feeling great. Tip 9: Keep a Food Journal This can be tough to do, but is worth its weight, literally. A food journal allows you to pinpoint your eating habits and enables you to easily modify them. Tip 10: Exercise, Exercise, Exercise Most authorities recommend 30 to 60 minutes of activity a day for optimum health. It is also beneficial to try and work-in some weight-bearing exercises at least 2 times a week. Tip 11: Get That Sunshine! God created us to get some sun every once in a while. The body needs the vitamin D produced from taking in that sunlight, and we need to be active in order to live a healthy life. And, the fresh air feels great! Print out these 11 easy steps, follow them every day, and you will be feeling good and looking great in no time!
Weight Loss - A Detailed Guide
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009Below is what they told them in simple to follow tips, they’ve learned from successful experience with thousands of clients. Some tips are new. Some you’ve heard before, but they’re repeated because they work. I Can Only Handle One Diet Change Right Now. What Should I Do? 1. Add just one fruit or veggie serving daily. Get comfortable with that, then add an extra serving until you reach 8 to 10 a day. 2. Eat at least two servings of a fruit or veggie at every meal. 3. Resolve never to supersize your food portions—unless you want to supersize your clothes. 4. Make eating purposeful, not mindless. Whenever you put food in your mouth, peel it, unwrap it, plate it, and sit. Engage all of the senses in the pleasure of nourishing your body. 5. Start eating a big breakfast. It helps you eat fewer total calories throughout the day. 6. Make sure your plate is half veggies and/or fruit at both lunch and dinner. Are there Any Easy Tricks to Help Me Cut Calories? 7. Eating out? Halve it, and bag the rest. A typical restaurant entree has 1,000 to 2,000 calories, not even counting the bread, appetizer, beverage, and dessert. 8. When dining out, make it automatic: Order one dessert to share. 9. Use a salad plate instead of a dinner plate. 10. See what you eat. Plate your food instead of eating out of the jar or bag. 11.

By the time you get to them, you’ll be full enough to be content with smaller portions of the high-calorie choices. 12. Instead of whole milk, switch to 1 percent. If you drink one 8-oz glass a day, you’ll lose 5 lb in a year. 13. Juice has as many calories, ounce for ounce, as soda. Set a limit of one 8-oz glass of fruit juice a day. 14. Get calories from foods you chew, not beverages. Have fresh fruit instead of fruit juice. 15. Keep a food journal. It really works wonders. 16. Follow the Chinese saying: “Eat until you are eight-tenths full. ” 17. Use mustard instead of mayo. 18. Eat more soup. The noncreamy ones are filling but low-cal. 19. Cut back on or cut out caloric drinks such as soda, sweet tea, lemonade, etc. People have lost weight by making just this one change.

Eat this three-bean salad all week. 29. Don’t forget that vegetable soup counts as a vegetable. 30. Rediscover the sweet potato. 31. Use prebagged baby spinach everywhere: as “lettuce” in sandwiches, heated in soups, wilted in hot pasta, and added to salads. 32. Spend the extra few dollars to buy vegetables that are already washed and cut up. 33. Really hate veggies? Relax. If you love fruits, eat plenty of them; they are just as healthy (especially colorful ones such as oranges, mangoes, and melons). 34. Keep seven bags of your favorite frozen vegetables on hand. Mix any combination, microwave, and top with your favorite low-fat dressing. Enjoy 3 to 4 cups a day. Makes a great quick dinner. Can You Give Me a Mantra that will Help Me Stick to My Diet? 35. “The best portion of high-calorie foods is the smallest one. The best portion of vegetables is the largest one. Period. ” 36. “I’ll ride the wave. My cravings will disappear after 10 minutes if I turn my attention elsewhere. ” 37. “I want to be around to see my grandchildren, so I can forgo a cookie now. ” 38. “I am a work in progress. ” 39. “It’s more stressful to continue being fat than to stop overeating. ” I Eat Healthy, but I’m Overweight. What Mistakes Could I Be Making without Realizing It? 40. Skipping meals. Many healthy eaters “diet by day and binge by night. ” 41. Don’t “graze” yourself fat. You can easily munch 600 calories of pretzels or cereal without realizing it. 42. Eating pasta like crazy. A serving of pasta is 1 cup, but some people routinely eat 4 cups. 43. Eating supersize bagels of 400 to 500 calories for snacks. 44. Ignoring “Serving Size” on the Nutrition Facts panel. 45. Snacking on bowls of nuts. Nuts are healthy but dense with calories. Put those bowls away, and use nuts as a garnish instead of a snack. 46. Thinking all energy bars and fruit smoothies are low-cal. What Can I Eat for a Healthy Low-Cal Dinner if I Don’t Want to Cook? 47. A smoothie made with fat-free milk, frozen fruit, and wheat germ. 48.

What’s Your Best Advice for Avoiding those Extra Holiday Pounds? 60. Don’t tell yourself, “It’s okay, it’s the holidays. ” That opens the door to 6 weeks of splurging. 61. Remember, EAT before you meet. Have this small meal before you go to any parties: a hardboiled Egg, Apple, and a Thirst quencher (water, seltzer, diet soda, tea). 62. As obvious as it sounds, don’t stand near the food at parties. Make the effort, and you’ll find you eat less. 63. At a buffet? Eating a little of everything guarantees high calories. Decide on three or four things, only one of which is high in calories. Save that for last so there’s less chance of overeating. 64. For the duration of the holidays, wear your snuggest clothes that don’t allow much room for expansion. Wearing sweats is out until January. 65. Give it away! After company leaves, give away leftover food to neighbors, doormen, or delivery people, or take it to work the next day. 66. Walk around the mall three times before you start shopping. 67. Make exercise a nonnegotiable priority. 68. Dance to music with your family in your home. One dietitian reported that when she asks her patients to do this, initially they just smile, but once they’ve done it, they say it is one of the easiest ways to involve the whole family in exercise. How Can I Control a Raging Sweet Tooth? 69. Once in a while, have a lean, mean salad for lunch or dinner, and save the meal’s calories for a full dessert. 70. Are you the kind of person who does better if you make up your mind to do without sweets and just not have them around? Or are you going to do better if you have a limited amount of sweets every day? One RD reported that most of her clients pick the latter and find they can avoid bingeing after a few days. 71. If your family thinks they need a very sweet treat every night, try to strike a balance between offering healthy choices but allowing them some “free will. ” Compromise with low-fat ice cream and fruit, or sometimes just fruit with a dollop of whipped cream. 72. Try 2 weeks without sweets. It’s amazing how your cravings vanish. 73. Eat more fruit. A person who gets enough fruit in his diet doesn’t have a raging sweet tooth. 74. Eat your sweets, just eat them smart! Carve out about 150 calories per day for your favorite sweet. That amounts to about an ounce of chocolate, half a modest slice of cake, or 1/2 cup of regular ice cream. 75. Try these smart little sweets: sugar-free hot cocoa, frozen red grapes, fudgsicles, sugar-free gum, Nutri-Grain chocolate fudge twists, Tootsie Rolls, and hard candy. How Can I Conquer My Downfall: Bingeing at Night? 76. Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The large majority of people who struggle with night eating are those who skip meals or don’t eat balanced meals during the day. This is a major setup for overeating at night. 77. Eat your evening meal in the kitchen or dining room, sitting down at the table. 78. Drink cold unsweetened raspberry tea. It tastes great and keeps your mouth busy. 79. Change your nighttime schedule. It will take effort, but it will pay off. You need something that will occupy your mind and hands. 80. If you’re eating at night due to emotions, you need to focus on getting in touch with what’s going on and taking care of yourself in a way that really works. Find a nonfood method of coping with your stress. 81. Put a sign on the kitchen and refrigerator doors: “Closed after Dinner. ” 82. Brush your teeth right after dinner to remind you: No more food. 83. Eat without engaging in any other simultaneous activity. No reading, watching TV, or sitting at the computer. 84. Eating late at night won’t itself cause weight gain. It’s how many calories—not when you eat them—that counts. How Can I Reap Added Health Benefits from My Dieting? 85. Fat-free isn’t always your best bet. Research has found that none of the lycopene or alpha- or beta-carotene that fight cancer and heart disease is absorbed from salads with fat-free dressing. Only slightly more is absorbed with reduced-fat dressing; the most is absorbed with full-fat dressing. But remember, use your dressing in moderate amounts. 86. Skipping breakfast will leave you tired and craving naughty foods by midmorning. To fill up healthfully and tastefully, try this sweet, fruity breakfast full of antioxidants. In a blender, process 1 c nonfat plain or vanilla yogurt, 1 1/3 c frozen strawberries (no added sugar), 1 peeled kiwi, and 1 peeled banana. Pulse until mixture is milkshake consistency. Makes one 2-cup serving; 348 calories and 1. 5 fat grams. 87. If you’re famished by 4 p. m. and have no alternative but an office vending machine, reach for the nuts—. The same goes if your only choices are what’s available in the hotel minibar. 88. Next time you’re feeling wiped out in late afternoon, forgo that cup of coffee and reach for a cup of yogurt instead. The combination of protein, carbohydrate, and fat in an 8-ounce serving of low-fat yogurt will give you a sense of fullness and well-being that coffee can’t match, as well as some vital nutrients. If you haven’t eaten in 3 to 4 hours, your blood glucose levels are probably dropping, so eating a small amount of nutrient-rich food will give your brain and your body a boost. 89. Making just a few changes to your pantry shelves can get you a lot closer to your weight loss goals. Here’s what to do: If you use corn and peanut oil, replace it with olive oil. Same goes for breads—go for whole wheat. Trade in those fatty cold cuts like salami and bologna and replace them canned tuna, sliced turkey breast, and lean roast beef. Change from drinking whole milk to fat-free milk or low-fat soy milk. This is hard for a lot of people so try transitioning down to 2 percent and then 1 percent before you go fat-free. 90. Nothing’s less appetizing than a crisper drawer full of mushy vegetables. Frozen vegetables store much better, plus they may have greater nutritional value than fresh. Food suppliers typically freeze veggies just a few hours after harvest, locking in the nutrients. Fresh veggies, on the other hand, often spend days in the back of a truck before they reach your supermarket. 91. Worried about the trans-fat content in your peanut butter? Good news: In a test done on Skippy, JIF, Peter Pan, and a supermarket brand, the levels of trans fats per 2-tablespoon serving were far lower than 0. 5 gram—low enough that under proposed laws, the brands can legally claim zero trans fats on the label. They also contained only 1 gram more sugar than natural brands—not a significant difference. Eating Less Isn’t Enough—What Exercising Tips Will Help Me Shed Pounds? 92. Overeating is not the result of exercise. Vigorous exercise won’t stimulate you to overeat. It’s just the opposite. Exercise at any level helps curb your appetite immediately following the workout. 93. When you’re exercising, you shouldn’t wait for thirst to strike before you take a drink. By the time you feel thirsty, you’re already dehydrated. Try this: Drink at least 16 ounces of water, sports drinks, or juices two hours before you exercise. Then drink 8 ounces an hour before and another 4 to 8 ounces every 15 to 20 minutes during your workout. Finish with at least 16 ounces after you’re done exercising. 94. Tune in to an audio book while you walk. It’ll keep you going longer and looking forward to the next walk—and the next chapter! Check your local library for a great selection. Look for a whodunit; you might walk so far you’ll need to take a cab home! 95. Think yoga’s too serene to burn calories? Think again. You can burn 250 to 350 calories during an hour-long class (that’s as much as you’d burn from an hour of walking)! Plus, you’ll improve muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance. 96. Drinking too few can hamper your weight loss efforts. That’s because dehydration can slow your metabolism by 3 percent, or about 45 fewer calories burned a day, which in a year could mean weighing 5 pounds more. The key to water isn’t how much you drink, it’s how frequently you drink it. Small amounts sipped often work better than 8 ounces gulped down at once. How Can I Manage My Emotional Eating and Get the Support I Need? 97. A registered dietitian (RD) can help you find healthy ways to manage your weight with food. To find one in your area who consults with private clients check out the ads at the top of the page, ask your friends or consult your yellow pages 98. The best place to drop pounds may be your own house of worship. Researchers set up healthy eating and exercise programs in 16 Baltimore churches. More than 500 women participated and after a year the most successful lost an average of 20 lb. Weight loss programs based on faith are so successful because there’s a built-in community component that people can feel comfortable with. 99. Here’s another reason to keep level-headed all the time: Pennsylvania State University research has found that women less able to cope with stress—shown by blood pressure and heart rate elevations—ate twice as many fatty snacks as stress-resistant women did, even after the stress stopped (in this case, 25 minutes of periodic jackhammer-level noise and an unsolvable maze). 100. Sitting at a computer may help you slim down. When researchers at Brown University School of Medicine put 92 people on online weight loss programs for a year, those who received weekly e-mail counseling shed 5 1/2 more pounds than those who got none. Counselors provided weekly feedback on diet and exercise logs, answered questions, and cheered them on. Most major online diet programs offer many of these features.
