Thursday, May 27th, 2010

grapefruit diet

In reality a diet of food is something that should not be taken as a habit, but as something casual, and that a balanced diet should be composed of a variety of foods. Thus, the grapefruit diet should be done for about a week, you should never be overly long. Let’s say it would be good for burning fat, but nothing more.

Thus, we have a grapefruit diet composed as follows. at breakfast, you can combine the usual coffee with half a grapefruit. You can also drink tea without sugar. At lunchtime you can take advantage of the remaining grapefruit half in the morning and adding it to two hard boiled eggs. You also need to take a cucumber and tomato salad, which you can dress it with lemon, vinegar and herbs to taste. Optionally, you can add a slice of bread with coffee.

Eliminate toxins that trap fat

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

The accumulation of toxins, residues of poor nutrition (wrong food choice or food of poor quality), an excess of stress hormones and the consequences of environmental pollution are just one of those responsible for the accumulation of fat in the body. In any case the advice of nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D.

The result of this accumulation of toxins, weakening labor liver, thyroid, adrenals, and accelerate the formation of fat in the cells and slows its elimination.

The solution: A program of cleaning 3 days.

This program is actually a mini detox which will eliminate high-speed excess toxins from your body and will effectively start your program of weight loss, whatever.

The core program: fruit

The fruit, when carefully chosen, are a weapon of great power in a detoxification program. They have the ability to give tone to the production of glucagon, a hormone secreted by the pancreas to increase blood glucose (sugar in the blood) and promoting lipolysis (fat destruction). That is to say that this hormone is a true ally in the war on fat.

Fruits also provide more than 1200 enzymes necessary for metabolism of the body, without neglecting the intake of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. These nutrients are essential for the proper functioning of the liver and its ability to convert fat to eliminate. The fibers present in fruits can also capture much of the fat present in the digestive tract and eliminated through the intestinal tract.

The simple program of detoxification using some fruit and some other foods, is so powerful that only 3 days there will be a great transformation in your body. The fat will literally caught and expelled from the cell body. The liver, thyroid and adrenal glands work much more effectively and toxins will be neutralized.

The result will be the beginning of your weight loss and more energy.

Your allies in the war on extra pounds:

Lawyers:
A simple lawyer provides 30 grams of fatty acid Omega-9, a type of fat that helps control hunger and cravings. It also helps the liver to process fats more efficiently to eliminate them. Research at the University of California at Riverside, we demonstrated that it was possible to lose 5 pounds in 2 months, consuming a daily lawyer, without calculating the calories consumed.

Citrus
(lemons, oranges, grapefruits): Simply eat half a cup daily of citrus fruits, preferably before meals, prevents absorption of fat by the body, according to research conducted in Ontario, Canada.

Eggs:
To accomplish the hundreds of chemical reactions for the transformation of fatty liver has a great need for amino acids such as taurine, cysteine and methionine. Two eggs consumed each day, providing the necessary amount of these amino acids.

Linseed:
They contain 800 times more lignans, a compound that helps the liver to metabolize toxins than any other food or plant. Also flaxseed are rich in soluble fibers and Omega-3, whose role is also very important in controlling fat and glucose.

The 3-day program:

Day 1

Saturate your body proteins: The key to success when using the treatment of fruit to detoxify the body is, initially, reduce the level of glycogen in the body. Glycogen retained in cells, is the primary source of energy used by the liver and muscles. When the glycogen level decreases, the body is folded into the stored fat reserves stored in the body and are overweight.

The fastest way to lower the level of glycogen and burn fat quickly is to saturate the body proteins. In practice this principle, just one day, increases of 50% reduction of glycogen available.

From 8:00 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon:
you consume EVERY 2 HOURS a protein shake. Any protein-rich drink will do, provided it is not sweetened with sugar (glucose, fructose, maltose, etc..) Or an artificial sweetener.
A drink consisting of one part soy protein powder for a cup of water is a good example of a protein shake). There are a multitude of drink in such trade.

At 6:00 in the evening (18h00):
Your meal will be in a salad of raw vegetables accompanied by half a lawyer, and 150 gr accompanied by a high source of protein to choose among the following foods: chicken, turkey breast, fish, lean beef or 4 white cooked eggs.
Season with a tablespoon of ground flaxseed.

Days 2 and 3

Saturate your body with fresh fruit and begin to eliminate toxins: The abundance of live enzymes and other nutrients will accelerate the work of the liver and metabolic transformation and elimination of toxins that hold prisoners of fat your body.

From 8:00 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon:
you consume EVERY 2 HOURS salad of fresh fruit.

Examples:

8:00: 2 cups of watermelon (you can combine several kinds of melons)
10.00: 1 half banana
12:00: 2 cups of a mixture of sliced pineapple (fresh, not canned!), Strawberries, sliced apple and a small orange, diced, some blueberries or blueberry.
14.00: 1 cup diced grapefruit
16.00: 1 cup sliced apples accompanied + 1 cup of blueberries and blueberries (if not the season for blueberries, you can use frozen fruit)
18.00: 6 cups mixed raw vegetable (any vegetable) accompanied by a half avocado, juice of one lemon and sprinkle of ground flaxseed (1 tablespoon). + 1 large glass of protein drink unsweetened.
Drinking plus 1 large glass of water.

This program allows to perform rapid detoxification and initiate the right foot on a program of weight loss. It is better to practice in peace and serve with a good daily walk of 15 to 30 minutes. After 3 days done, you can either continue with another program or diet to lose weight, or return to a normal diet and start this program 3 days each week for a total duration of 12 weeks. This should allow you to lose an average of 1.5 pounds per week, or a loss of up to nearly 10 pounds in 3 months.

Choose the vitamins

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

The food is generally sufficient to cover our daily needs for vitamins, provided that eat everything. These needs are not necessarily all be covered daily, but over a period of fifteen days, it is estimated that there is no waiting.

However, some people are deficient in the case of poor nutrition or unbalanced. It can often be the elderly, pregnant women, heavy drinkers and smokers (tobacco increased by 30% the need for vitamin C), adolescents and women who make dieting.

To choose your vitamins, you should know that there are over 15 different kinds. They are generally classified into two groups: water soluble vitamins (soluble in water) and fat-soluble vitamins (soluble in fats). Their contributions are varied and require prior identification of your needs or your shortcomings. As part of a health check, a doctor can help in this research and offer you the vitamins are best suited to your profile.

To supplement your vitamin intake, you can choose between many solutions. The healthiest and least expensive is to vary your diet and eat lots of fresh fruit.
Vitamins are swarming in your plate

For input “natural” vitamin A, nothing better than carrots (raw or cooked), fresh chervil, apricot, spinach, pumpkin, lettuce, peppers, melons, tomatoes and pickle. The oil of cod livers of animals and dandelion are among the foods rich in vitamin A.

If you lean more to the vitamin B1, prefer dry yeast, baker’s yeast, wheat germ, eggs, fish, dried peas, beans, pork, walnuts, hazelnuts and lentils dry.

For a cure of vitamin C, turn readily to the broccoli, zucchini, strawberries, kiwi, papaya, red pepper, oranges, Brussels sprouts, black currants. A high vitamin C deficiency is the cause of scurvy, a disease disappeared in rich countries, but deadly.
Finally, to satisfy your need for vitamin E, promotes oil wheat germ, sunflower oil, palm oil, margarine and nuts. The almond oil and cod liver are often recommended in cases of vitamin E.
Artificial inputs to meet your needs

You can also find food “guaranteed content of vitamin” and Food “fortified with vitamins, as well as vitamin tablets, sold in pharmacies or supermarkets.

Be aware that food-grade vitamins are guaranteed of industrial products which have been added vitamins destroyed by the process. Those “rich in vitamins” are virtually over: since June 1992. Only cereals, some lunches and chocolate biscuits for children have the right to be rich in vitamins, and the dose rarely exceeds 25% of recommended daily intake.

If you want to take vitamin tablets, choose cocktails Multivitamin, which contain all the essential vitamins.

Note: The vitamins, except vitamin C have no effect in the short term. After several weeks or months of treatment that a profit can be felt.
