Protein and Weight Management

Protein may have an effect on an individual’s ability to manage their weight in a variety of ways, by: 1) increasing levels of satiety; 2) maintaining lean body mass thus possibly increasing energy expenditure; and, 3) overall dietary compliance. While each of these individual relationships to protein and weight management is being studied independently, their inter-relationship to each other likely contributes to protein’s association with weight maintenance.

Protein comes from a variety of sources. Beef, poultry, fish, and eggs are animal sources of protein that also provide essential B-vitamins such as folate, zinc, and iron. Dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, provide calcium and supply protein in the form of casein and whey. Soybeans and soy protein-based foods, like soy milk and soy-based meat alternatives, are a plant based source of protein, which are low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free, and may play a role in reducing risk of heart disease.

Vitamin D: Weightloss Help?

Vitamin D levels in the body at the start of a low-calorie diet predict weight loss success, a new study found. The results, which suggest a possible role for vitamin D in weight loss, were presented at The Endocrine Society’s 91st Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.

“Our results suggest the possibility that the addition of vitamin D to a reduced-calorie diet will lead to better weight loss,” Sibley said. Source: Link Between Successful Weight Loss And Vitamin D Levels

It appears a combination of cutting calories and vitamin D intake could assist in your weightloss efforts. Vitamin D is relatively inexpensive, so taking one small supplement of it daily sure couldn’t hurt. Physician’s also encourage Vitamin D combined with Calcium for optimal help with bone loss.

Watery Laden Foods for Weightloss?

It may not be a licence for a liquid lunch exactly, but consuming foods high in water could be the key to losing weight, nutritionists say.

It’s not as easy as drinking a glass of water with your meal, though. Instead, studies appear to suggest that the liquid you consume needs to be in the foods you’re eating.

And how to determine how to try this approach? Well, that’s a little complex, too. According to the article, you “may need a calculator”.

Develop a Slimmer Waistline

A slimmer waistline is a key objective of most dieters, but it is also increasingly used as an important indicator of risk of diseases such as heart disease with advice that men should have a waist measurement of less that 37cm (14-1/2-inches) and women less than 32 cm (12.6 inches).

Zotrim® is a large and trusted brand with a product that has been proven to work not only with weightloss, but in decreasing the size of your waistline, as well.

Two ‘open’ label studies with Zotrim® investigated waistline loss:

4.3 cm (1.72 inches) average waistline loss was achieved in 56 overweight women in 28 days
3.6 cm (1.4 inches) average waistline loss and 3.7 (1.45 inches) cm average hip measurement loss was achieved in 73 healthcare professionals over 42 days

Plus, for a limited time you can get free shipping AND 15 percent off if you order a 4-month supply, or save even more with a 25 percent discount if you purchase 6 months or more.

Buy Zotrim® and start your way to a slimmer waistline!

Top 10 Summer Time Diet Tips

The in anticipation of the summer season brings a welcome smile to most of us…until we pull out our favorite shorts and find they don’t fit quite as well as they did last year…

That fateful moment arrives when you realize you have been too lax with your body over the long winter and you are not in shape for the summer activities. Your favorite swimming trunks or bathing suits cannot accommodate your body any more!

But don’t despair! Summer weight loss is still possible. Remember that losing weight is influenced to the extent of 70% to 80% by what and how you eat and the balance by the physical activities and exercises. Cut down intake of excess calories which increase fat in the body and exercise the body which will help in to burn body fat and to lose weight. Summer is a great time for extra activity outdoors.

Give the following simple natural weight loss suggestions a try to help with your summer weight loss efforts. Shape up your body and face summer with confidence in a matter of three to four weeks!

Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water per day.
Water plays a very important role in our body functions. Body fat and bones account for 20% of water each, lean muscle tissues are 75% water and over 80% of our blood is water. Water helps kidneys remove toxins allowing liver to metabolize more fat. It works as a natural suppressant of appetite.
Put alcohol on highly restricted list if you are serious about losing weight. Alcohol slows down your metabolism thereby causing the body to store more fat.
The main culprits that cause excess weight are saturated fats. Saturated fats and sugar are strictly no-no for weight watchers. Avoid high fat and sugary desserts, ice creams, etc.
Include low fat milk products such as yogurt, skimmed milk, cottage cheese in your diet. All of these contain “good proteins” which help suppress cravings for food. They are essential in building muscle mass.Vegetables, beans, whole grains and fruits contain “good” carbohydrates which are moderate on calories and fats; they are consumed slowly by the body and thus they help suppress hunger naturally.
Omega 3 fatty acids increase metabolism and energy levels of the body. Eat fish such as Mackerel, Salmon, Sardines and Herrings; they are rich Omega 3 fatty acids which help prevent blood clotting, regulate blood pressure, and lower risk of heart failure.
Eat four or five meals of smaller portions throughout the day instead of the usual three meals. Smaller meals at shorter intervals help metabolism and burn fat and aids weightloss.
Eat adequate fiber. Fiber is more filling and suppresses hunger. It takes longer to digest and as it passes through the body it attaches to fats and proteins in your food and thus keeps them from being digested. Whole grains, brown rice, figs, apples, broccoli, peas, lentils, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits and nuts are high in fiber content.
Spices such as ginger, mustard, pepper, cinnamon, clove, bay leaf, etc decrease sugar cravings and are helpful in weight loss – use them with abandon!
Avoid late night meals within the two to three hours before going to bed. Allow time for digestion of the meal before going to bed. This will also help you sleep better - and a good night’s sleep can also aid weightloss efforts. See also: Lose Weight by Sleeping

Obesity: Recession Depression to Blame?

Recent headlines say the recession could be the cause of rising obesity. Some are claiming a link to stress and depression, which in turn causes us to eat more “junk food”.

A recent Gallup-Healthways study claims,

…the number of Americans considered obese has jumped by 1.7 percent—or almost 5.5 million people

Some people think (as do some lawmakers) that government’s should step in and “help” people with this obesity problem, but isn’t it better if we help ourselves? Well, gov’t has been doing so for many years and it hasn’t done a bit of good yet. This news is making headlines in part to attempt to push a national health care system in the U.S.

But government is already at fault for the rising food prices due to so many regulations and laws the food industry must follow.

Everytime government enacts a provision, whether it be food labeling or “safety laws”, it costs food manufacturers. Manufacturers are not about to absorb the extra costs associated with compliance because they couldn’t stay in business if they did, so they are then forced to pass the costs onto us, the consumers. It’s a vicious cycle with one end result: Higher prices for all of us who have no control, because whatever it is we choose to eat, we must pay for it – or not eat. We all know not eating is just not an option.

In a blog post, Grocery Bills Not High Enough, we learn that the U.S. is seeking to add yet another burden to food manufacturers via a $1,000.00 fee and the enactment of a “food tracking” system. If we’re having a difficult time paying for our food now, how will this affect our ability to purchase our groceries? I fear it will dramatically raise prices…

So let’s discourage more government involvement and encourage more personal responsibility. There are many different means of losing weight. Consider our five suggestions. If none of those appeal to you, find another way, but take control on your own. Because when we achieve personal goals on our own, the reward is far greater and the change more likely to be lifelong – because of the rewards achieved! Being forced to do something via higher prices, taxation or government control has proven to fail us time and time again.

PS. Cooking your own means is another good way to keep food costs down. To get the most bang for your food buck, check out Low Cost Dieting’s Low Cost Recipes.

Hoodia Helps Obesity in the United States

It seems like hoodia gordonii came just as the United States needed it. Obesity is at an all-time high, with only four states having obesity rates at less than 20 percent, according to the Center for Disease Control. Approximately 30 percent of the US population is overweight.

Overweight or obesity is at cause for several serious conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, strokes, heart disease, and certain kinds of cancer.

Two key factors: Make sure you get genuine Hoodia and use for at least 3 months for maximum results. Continue only if you need to continue to lose weight.

Be Fine: Eat Chocolate and Drink Wine

Researchers have found that antioxidants in both red wine and dark chocolate not only benefit in terms of cardiovascular health, but also help to prevent cancer.

Combining chocolate and wine might take a bit of practice, but if you have the right wine to complement the right chocolate it can be heaven. A good rule to follow is that the wine should be at least as sweet, if not a touch sweeter, than the chocolate. See also: The Nutrients in Chocolate and/or how about a Dark Chocolate Candy Diet Candy Recipe?

Another bonus of wine as reported by HealthDay:

“Wine drinkers who averaged just 0.7 ounces a day had a 2.5 year-longer life expectancy at age 50 compared to those who drank beer or spirits.”

Wine Throughout Time

Plato (428-348 BC) said, “Nothing more excellent or valuable than wine was ever granted by the Gods to man.” Hippocrates (459-377 AD) suggested the application of wine as a tranquilizer, analgesic and diuretic. Hildegard of Bingen (Germany, 1098-1179) used wine to treat cardiovascular disease. The Medieval physician and scholar Paraclesus reported on the beneficial effect of wine on health in his book Concerning the Generation, Growth, Preservation, Life, Death, Resuscitation and Transmutation of Natural Things. Caesar recommended wine with meals in order to protect his soldiers from gastrointestinal infections and bleeding.

Advantages of red wine, report researchers:

Polyphenols in red wine keep livers safe from alcohol damage (October, 2008 edition of American Journal of Physiology, Gastointestinal and Liver Physiology.)
Red wine gives a boost to dieters (October, 2008 edition of American Journal of Physiology, Gastointestinal and Liver Physiology.)
Red wine is protective of neurons (University of Porto in Portugal)

So be just fine – add some chocolate and wine to your diet!
