Boosting your metabolism

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

Metabolism is a series of chemical reactions taking place in the living body and which converts food into energy. If you try to lose weight by boosting your metabolism, make sure to add foods that stimulate metabolism to your diet. Some foods calorie burners can help boost your metabolism as well as improve your overall health.

3 foods that increase your metabolism :

1) Jalapeno and Cayenne Peppers
Capsaicin is the active ingredient in these two peppers. The capsaicin is a thermogenic agent that temporarily stimulates your body to release more stress hormones, which helps increase the overall metabolic activity (see also our article “Metabolism: 8 things to know about their reinforcement”), helping and the system to burn calories and stored fat in addition to cool your impulsive desire to eat.

Capsaicin is the natural state in the jalapeno pepper (a variety of Mexican peppers) and cayenne pepper, or can be purchased in capsule form practice. Indeed, there is no need to suffer the “pain” and “heat” by eating these peppers in their natural state. Capsaicin can be purchased as a supplement that stimulates metabolism and is healthy for the heart.

2) Coffee past
As a stimulant, coffee will give your metabolism a boost. Coffee is also a mild emollient that will function properly your body (by softening your stools for example). Be sure to drink coffee in moderation.

It is recommended not to exceed 2 or 3 cups per day (less than 300 milligrams), otherwise you risk a variety of side effects. Tremors, irritability and lack of attention are among the side effects of too much caffeine.

3) Water
A new study suggests that drinking water actually speeds up weight loss. German researchers have shown that test subjects in their study increased their metabolic rate (the rate at which calories are burned) by 30% after drinking about 0.5 liters of water.

Water is also a natural appetite suppressant that reduces bloating as it cleans sodium and toxins in the body. Drinking enough water will also avoid confusion between thirst and hunger. So drink! Be sure to start your day with a full glass of water and drink throughout the day, and not just once.

Eat healthier home for weight loss

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

Eating for weight loss is possible and it starts at home. If you are often looking for ways to stay healthy, lose weight or improve your health, choose a plan for you is a key element in achieving these goals. And since many of your meals are eaten at home, there’s no better place to start than in your own kitchen.

healthy-diet

A healthy diet does not always make a plan. But it is quite possible to eat healthily to lose weight (the schemes are not mandatory if you want to lose weight). Although research shows that there is no one ideal diet and low calorie diets do not work too (because of the yo-yo after your weight loss), it is difficult not to be attracted by the miracles promised by many advertising schemes that would lose “20 kg in two weeks” (lose as much weight in so little time in any way cause more problems to solve in your institution).

Start the change gradually, starting at home. This is more likely to lead to effective changes in the long term. 3 dietary advice to eat healthier at home to lose weight:

1) Eat more fruit
We recommend that you drink two cups of fruit juice per day. Take two large pieces of fruit from home to work. Take one at breakfast. Drink fruit juice 100% natural (especially juices fortified with calcium and vitamin D). Take the remaining piece to taste when you pause in your work.

2) Eat more vegetables
Vegetables and fruits are as important as each other for their high nutrient content. Go two and a half cups per day.

Take advantage of all the vegetables ready to eat in supermarkets, such as carrots, celery, tomatoes, lettuce and other leafy vegetables and salad and mixed vegetables. Vegetables are easy to cook in the microwave or fry or mixing with lean protein (lean beef, for example) and whole grains for delicious meals low calorie.

3) Choosing more foods consisting of whole grains
There are a variety of delicious whole grains to add to your diet (to replace the white grains and processed grain products). Whole grains such as brown or wild rice, quinoa, buckwheat and whole grain cereals, pasta and bread are much tastier and more nutritious than white rice, white flour and other processed foods.

Weight Loss Pills

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Weight Loss Pills• Diuretics and laxatives:
Based pills or teas dandelion, green tea, birch, artichokes, plums, among others, that are known for their diuretic and digestive properties. They are effective in cases of digestive problems and fluid retention or constipation problems, but do not eliminate the extra kilos much to say that eliminate body fat stores. Do not abuse them because they can promote dehydration of the body, causing fatigue and dizziness. Moreover, what they do is remove fluid, so weight loss is again misleading and recover quickly.

• Decreased absorption of fat:
Aim to prevent or decrease the absorption of fat in the body, specifically in the intestine. In pharmacies and herbalists are many herbal preparations that they intend to use this mechanism. However, the only drug with proven effects in this sense is Xenical, which is used only by prescription in the treatment of people with real problems of obesity. In no case can be used to remove extra kilos, and their side effects are very dangerous.

• ‘Quitahambres’:
There are products that attempt to moderate the appetite from the fibers that swell in the stomach and give a sense of satiety. Usually taken between 10 and 30 minutes before meals. Although not dangerous, are not recommended if you have the delicate intestine, nor can begin to consume large amounts of fiber if we are not used.

To lose weight, consult your doctor, especially if you have severe obesity or hypertension problems. Of course, ask to take you before any product, as the majority does not fulfill the promises announced and can be dangerous.

Escape from the weight loss pills that promise weight loss in a short time and without effort, they sell on TV or the Internet, the formulations and any other product of uncertain composition. Do not let them fool you: you can not lose in two days what has won in months or years, goes against all logic and nature.

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

high fat dietSeveral authors claim that it is possible to lose weight and build muscle with a high fat diet, the Anabolic and Metabolic Diet by Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale and diet Body Opus by Dan Duchaine, are two examples.

According to these diets can lose fat without losing muscle mass. It consists of a very low carbohydrate intake for 5 days with two days with high intake of carbohydrates to achieve the super-compensation. Our body provides fat diet very differently to carbohydrates or protein. While our intake of carbohydrates or protein is balanced body use as fuel, fat intake is balanced by changes in body fat deposits.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported two separate studies on how diets affect the use of fats and carbohydrates and fat deposits. One diet was high in carbohydrates and high in fat, while the other contained very little carbohydrate and fat.

Both studies concluded by stating that as carbohydrate intake rose or fell, was the same with its use as fuel. Moreover, the amount of fat eaten, corresponded to the individual body fat percentage, the more consumed, the more retained.

Note also that in one study the carbohydrate-rich diet contained 20% more calories than fat-rich diet, and yet the subject of high-carbohydrate group reduced their body weight in larger quantities.
