  • Is Your Diet Colorblind(R) - Next time you have a meal, look at your plate - what colors do you see? If its mostly white and brown then your diet might be colorblind! In order to have a healthy diet you need foods from all the food groups and that means a colorful plate.
  • Writing For Your Weight Loss Success - Motivation is one of the key variables for the equation that yields long term weight loss success. The question is how do you maintain the motivation to attain the ultimate goal? Regardless if your weight loss goal is 20 pounds or 100 pounds you must change your thinking to change your behavior and writing makes that happen. Weight loss really does begin in your head. Every successful athlete understands that his thinking process is either working for him or against him. The same holds true with weight loss. If your internal dialogue is negative, your results will eventually manifest the same result!
  • How To Find Out If Your Diet Is Healthy Enough - Everyone wants to eat a healthier diet, but it can sometimes be difficult to know if your diet is healthy enough.
  • The One Right Way To Lose Weight And Stay Well - Most Americans have the same problem when it comes to losing weight and staying well. The foods we like in our culture are, for the most part, terrible for us. * Chocolate milkshake * Chicken fried steak with steak fries * Grilled hamburger with the works * Mom's favorite pie I hope I'm not making you too hungry. You may not LOVE the items I just listed, but it's a sure bet 90 percent of those reading this article could easily down at least one of those items RIGHT NOW! The problem is, these items are sky high in fat and other not-so-good-for-you ingredients, plus low in fiber. It seems like EVERYTHING that tastes good isn't good for us.
  • Eating Out Can Be Hazardous To Your Waistline - Going out to eat can really put the brakes on your weight loss program unless you have exceptional control over what you eat. Although many restaurants now offer choices for many types of diets, it's whats on the rest of the menu that might tempt you to stray. Often high in salt, sugar and oil most restaurant food tends to be higher in calories that what you might prepare for yourself. And Americans are eating out more and more. According to Dr. Caroline Cederquist, a physician who specializes in weight management, less than 20 percent of the calories Americans consumed were eaten outside the home in 1978 but in 2003, that number had climbed to 50 percent.
  • Can A Raw Food Diet Help You Lose Weight(R) - While raw foods are not new, the focus on eating plans that focus on them are and this trend in healthy eating appears to be gaining strength across the country. The focus of the diet is on eating uncooked, highly nutritious foods - fruits and vegetables. Of course, these foods are low in calories and extremely good for you, but eating them raw or uncooked is favored as it is believed that they lose nutritional value when cooked.
  • Getting Enough Fiber Is Important For Weight Loss - Fiber is an important part of a healthy diet, but did you know it can help you in your weight loss efforts? Filling up on fiber can help you to feel full for longer, therefore causing you to eat less overall which will result in healthy weight loss. In addition to helping you lose weight, fiber also has many positive health effects. Fiber has been linked to managing diabetes, cutting cholesterol, and limiting heart damage.
  • Eat More Pectin For Successful Weight Loss - Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to not feel so hungry all the time when you are trying to lose weight? Well there is a way and it's not some new fad either, it's something that's natural, has no adverse side effects and might be sitting right in your fridge - fiber. One type of fiber that you probably already have been eating is called pectin. Pectin is found in fruits, such as apples, strawberries, and peaches, along with vegetables including carrots, sweet potatoes and beans. Pectin is a carbohydrate that has no calories. Pectin is a great source of fiber, which we all know is important for a healthy diet. Aside from helping you feel full longer, pectin can help to cut cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
  • Which Diet Plan Is Best(R) Study's Surprising Results - As the old year comes to a close and everyone begins to look forward to the beginning of a New Year, many people are also anticipating the beginning of their New Year's resolutions. For numerous individuals, New Year's resolutions will involve vows to cut back on their food intake, get on a diet and exercise regimen and drop at least a few pounds.
  • Simple Weight Loss - Active weight watchers consistently ask what foods can I eat and what foods should I avoid. This is a genuine thing because if you have set a goal to lose weight you want to be sure that you are eating the right things.
  • The Six Benefits Of Eating Oatmeal - Eating a bowl of oatmeal each morning is the perfect way to start your day off right. This article will explain the six benefits of eating oatmeal and ways to make it taste delicious. First off, the oatmeal discussed here is not the instant kind that comes in the different flavors- these are full of sugar. The real stuff is the plain oat flakes from Quaker Oats or a similar brand.
  • Some Food For Thought -- Is Your Diet Killing You! - I must admit that I don't usually write articles with such a chilling headline, so I feel that I should give a little background on a relatively innocent experience which prompted me to write this piece. I would also say quite candidly that there is nothing really new in the main context of it, in fact most probably, everyone is concious of these facts in some way or another. What I really do wonder though, is just exactly how many of us are actually making any real attempt to seriously look after ourselves, healthwise that is!
  • Controlling Blood Sugar In Type 2 Diabetes Without The Use Of Drugs - I was told in rapid succession that I was suffering from intermittent claudication (that's blocked arteries in the legs), high blood pressure, Diabetes Type 2. and that I was overweight. Not a lot of pleasure there! The intermittent claudication made it increasingly difficult to do much, so that in effect I had become a prisoner to my house and garden. Exercise was out of the question, my legs simply couldn't cope, but it was hoped that angioplasty to each leg would cure the problem. It didn't. My high blood pressure, I was assured, could be treated by a cocktail of drugs and by weight loss. The cocktail of four different drugs worked, but I could not seem to lose weight.
  • Ultrametabolism - The Simple Plan For Automatic Weight Loss - What's the greatest threat facing our civilization? (No, it's not the Islamic jihad.) It's obesity. Due to its attendant health and economic costs, scientists predict that obesity alone will topple economic and social structures, induce a wide range of dire diseases, and drastically cut short Americans' life spans. These are more than another set of statistics -- they predict things that can and will affect you, your family, your health, and your pocketbook. If you are among the two thirds of adult Americans struggling to escape escalating weight gain, (or even if you're teetering on the edge with ten persistent pounds you can't seem to lose), as a physician, I recommend that you take action to lose weight and protect your future health. And I have good news for you.
  • What Is The Best Exercise For Weight Loss(R) - It is a common misconception that aerobic exercise tones and firms muscles. Actually it accomplishes very little toning and firming. Resistance exercise (weight training) is where real toning and firming of muscles occurs. Doing both aerobics and weight training is the optimal way to lose more fat and gain more muscle. If you are trying to lose weight, studies show that weight loss increases by 56 percent with aerobic and strength exercises combined. Muscle may weigh more, but when you increase your muscle composition, the body is able to burn more fat, even when you are resting, because your metabolism is higher.
  • Mother Was Right - Eat Your Fruits and Vegetables. It is almost impossible to get too much of these foods in your diet. They are full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients, as well as high in complex carbohydrates. And fruits and vegetables are an important source of fiber, as well. Even the much maligned potato, eaten baked with the skin on, is full of vitamins C and B6, potassium, and nearly 5 grams of fiber! When eaten raw, the enzymes that most vegetables and fruits contain help the body process foods better.
  • Are You Still Following Your New Years Resolution To Lose Weight(R) - One of the most common New Year's Resolutions is "to lose weight, and get in shape". However within a few weeks an overwhelming majority of people are right back where they started eating foods that aren't healthy and not exercising. So why do so many people start out with good intentions and fail? Most people focus on short term goals and instant gratification. They want to lose weight but aren't committed to making the lifestyle changes necessary to lead a healthier life. Let's be honest that chocolate covered doughnut with sprinkles certainly tastes better than a bowl of oatmeal, and who wouldn't want to eat something that tastes better. Truth is unless you are training for an athletic event its ok to have a chocolate doughnut from time to time. The key is not to have a chocolate doughnut every morning.
  • Taking Care Of Inner Health - Taking Care of Inner Health 1. Inner health is a very important subject because 95% of life threatening diseases starts inside our bodies where we can't see what is happening.
  • Persistent Heartburn: Get Relief Now! - If you regularly suffer from heartburn, you know that there is not much worse in life than the pain of an acute attack. Perhaps you have paid your druggist a visit in search of help or you have seen your doctor, yet you still suffer intermittent attacks. What more can you do to get relief? Overhaul your diet! You may not need to make extreme changes in what you eat, but you must be attentive to which types of foods can trigger an attack. The following list underscores which foods may trigger an attack: Beverages: Beer, colas, and nonalcoholic wines are some causes of heartburn.
  • Easy Weight Loss - Make A Start Right Now! - Oh dear, oh dear, it's that time of year but yet again! The holidays are over, Christmas has come and gone, and what is there to look forward to! Summer holidays I suppose, but they do seem such a long time away. Anyway, I must confess that at the moment, even the thought of a holiday horrifies me, because after my over-indulgence during the festive season, the last thing that I want to be doing is even more eating and drinking. So, if there is nothing to look forward to for now, and we are in the midst of the January depression, what on earth CAN we do to lift ouselves out of the blues at this time of year!
