WHY DO PEOPLE GAIN WEIGHT?

People gain weight as a result of various reasons, which include: Diet, Lifestyle, Individual factors (like hormonal imbalance, sensitivity of the hunger center in the brain etc.), and hereditary factors.

FRUSTRATED TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT?

I am aware that many have failed in their quest to lose weight and therefore have given up. Others have tried to lose weight only to gain weight shortly after. Others have injured themselves in the process of trying to lose weight. Some spend so much money on weight loss products without success. I am glad to offer you then HEALTHY WAYS to lose weight NATURALLY without side effects or endanger your health. And much more, you don’t have to buy any weight loss product. All you need is grace for discipline and commitment to the plan. Another bonus: You don’t have to starve yourself. All you need to do is to know the right kinds of food to eat, when to eat and how to eat. I guarantee you that if you follow the simple plan outlined below you will lose your excess body weight effortlessly, naturally, and in a healthy way, until you reach you ideal body weight and stabilize.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Let me begin by warning that most of the weight-loss diets in town are hazardous to health. A low-carbohydrate and high protein diet, for instance, may help you lose weight initially, but will definitely lead to major health problems in future – especially if the protein is from animal sources. Such health problems might include constipation, kidney damage, increased cholesterol and triglyceride levels, liver damage, osteoporosis, tooth decay, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, stroke, etc. A low-carbohydrate diet may also lead to a condition known as ketoacidosis, which can be fatal. Ketones are the waste products of partially metabolized fat. Ketones, being acidic, can alter the blood’s nearly neutral PH level. This can trigger disease. Trying to lose weight too rapidly can lead to loss of muscle weight rather than fat weight. It can also lead to dehydration and its attended consequences, menstrual problems, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and even backache. The best way to lose weight is to develop a wholesome diet and lifestyle.

The unhealthy weight will then reduce naturally without further effort on your part. Dietary and lifestyle changes are enough to help you lose weight appropriately. I used to weigh about 90kg ( approximately 200 pounds). After adopting the plan I am about to share with you , I lose 20kg in about 6 months without even feeling that anything was happening to me. The best part of it is that I have been able to keep the weight off for 3 years. Let me show you how.

1.  ELIMINATE FREE SUGAR FROM YOUR DIET. Free sugar in beverages such as soft drinks, lager beer, refined sugar, etc, make you gain weight. Eliminating soft drinks alone from your diet will help you to lose about 7kg of body weight in one year.

2. AVOID REFINED CARBOHYDRATE.  As much as possible. All carbohydrates are not the same. Refined carbohydrates make you gain weight as opposed to unrefined carbohydrate.

3.   MINIMIZE YOUR INTAKE OF COOKED FOOD. To a reasonable level. You should start with a 50:50 ration of cooked food to raw foods daily and gradually increase the amount of raw food you consume daily. The secret is that raw food doesn’t make people gain weight no matter how much of it they consume. Let your menu be of this nature: Breakfast of FRESH FRUITS, Lunch of a bowl of VEGETABLE SALAD WITH YOUR MAIN COOKED FOOD OF THE DAY, AND Supper of a LARGE BOWL OF VEGETABLE SALAD WITH A VERY LITTLE COOKED FOOD If any at all. Anyone who tries this way of eating for only 30 days will testify to its effectiveness.

4.  REDUCE YOUR INTAKE OF FATS. One gram of fat produces approximately 9 calories, one gram of protein produces approximately only 4 calories, while one gram of carbohydrate generates approximately only 4 calories. So, carbohydrate is not the culprit per se in weight gain, especially complex carbohydrate. Just a tablespoon of butter gives you about 100 extra calories.

5.  REGULAR MODERATE EXERCISE.  Essentially, we gain weight when we consume more calories than what we burn. The body converts excess calories into fat and stores the fat especially under the skin. So if we can burn more calories than we are consuming, we will definitely lose weight. Exercise or physical activity is one way to burn more calories. Different physical activities help us to burn different amounts of calories. According to Dr. George D. Pamplona Roger:

Ø  We can consume about 65 calories per hour while sleeping

Ø  We consume about 250 calories per hour while walking

Ø  We can consume about 350 calories per hour while engaged in GYMNASTICS

Ø  We can consume about 450 calorie per hour while playing tennis

Ø  We consume about 500 calories per hour while CYCLING

Ø  We consume about 650 calories per hour while SWIMMING

Ø  We consume about 850 calories per hour while playing SOCCER

Ø  We consume about 1000 calories per hour while racing

Our daily need of calories is a function of our level of activity.

6.    AVOID GLUTTONY. Over-eating is not a healthy practice. The Biochemist, Ted Broer, in his book, MAXIMUM ENERGY, said for you to burn off only 100 calories of food through exercise, you will have to do any of the following.

Ø  Do a 3-mile brisk walk, or

Ø  Do a 1-mile running, or

Ø  Do 5 miles of cycling, or

Ø  Swim continuously for 700 yards, or

Ø  Play 50 minutes of highly competitive singles’ tennis, or

Ø  Play handball or racquetball non-stop for 30 minutes

7.  AVOID UNHEALTHY SNACKS (FOODS BETWEEN MEALS). Too much snacks will add unwanted calories to your daily food intake and this accumulates, making you gain unnecessary weight with its attendant health problems. Biscuits, donuts, meat-pie, coffee, caffeine-containing tea, cow milk, refined sugar, etc, are all unhealthy for you during tea break at seminars, conferences or even at work or at home. Instead adopt the healthier option of fresh fruits (apples, mango, oranges, watermelon, etc) as snacks. It is not as easy to burn off calories, as it takes to ingest them. It takes about 2000 steps (walking for roughly one mile) to burn off 100 calories.

For example, it will take you 350 steps of walking to burn off the calories in a cup of tea or coffee with semi-skimmed milk; 3,050 steps to burn the calories in Kit-Kat; 3,475 steps to burn off the calories in a can or bottle of soft drinks; 4,075 steps for the calories in a pint of lager beer; 5000 steps to burn off the calories in a meal of French fries; 5,250 steps for donut; 7775 steps for a snickers bar; 36,250 steps for 8 inches pepperoni pizza; etc., but only 1500 steps to burn off the calories in one orange. To burn off the calories in a bowl of cornflakes with skimmed mile requires about 5000 steps.

8.    WATER:  Drinking adequate amounts of distilled water (eight to twelve 240ml glasses) a day raises and maintains your metabolism in optimum working order. According to Dr. Brown Landone, distilled water helps one lose weight if one can drink about 4-6 glasses of it 30 minutes before each meal. I must add however that if you are drinking distilled water, you need to mineralize it or drink plenty of vegetable and fruit juices as well as your trace minerals.

9.     WEIGHT LOSS THROUGH COLON CLEANSING.  The average adult is said to carry about 3 to 7kg of faecal matter in their colon. Dr. Bernard Jensen reported an autopsy that revealed a stagnant colon weighing in at an incredible 18kg (40Ibs). Again Robert Gray reported that ‘There is an autopsy on record wherein the colon was removed and was found to weigh 60 pounds (27kg)!

If such a person were alive, the person’s weight would definitely come down by 27kg just by undergoing colon cleansing. How do we get our colons cleansed? There are different ways: colonic irrigation, enema, etc. But the one I recommend is by increasing your fiber intake, exercising, and drinking plenty of water. Also, eliminate the foods that can clog your colon, such as white bread and other white flour products that have all their fiber removed.

10.    DON’T EAT YOUR SUPPER TOO LATE.  Ideally your supper should be eaten between 5 and 6pm. At the very latest, 7pm; eating your supper too late makes your body store excess fat. If you would stop eating anything after 7pm everyday, you will lose weight and feel great when you wake up the next morning.

Following these 10 easy steps will sure help you to lose weight naturally, gradually and safely it will also keep the weight off permanently.

How to Lose Belly Weight - Using Conjugated Linoleic Acid Method

I must agree at some point that losing belly fat has never been easy;I went through a lot in my bid to lose weight and cut down on the stomach fat at the same time.

 I can't remember how I queried google for "tips on how to lose belly fat" and every other related term almost on a daily basis. The annoying thing was that I once had six packs back then in school when I stuck to crunches every morning and eating less fatty foods. The inception of stomach fat around my waist gave my a lot of concern and I needed to lose weight. I was doing a little research one of those days and found an interesting piece of article stressing the use of Conjugated Linolic Acid as a good way of cutting down belly fat to a reasonable extent. I really wanted to know what this weight loss process entails and to what extent it would help me lose belly fat in two weeks as I needed to look in shape for our end of the year party coming up there after.

Now you might be asking what is conjugated linoleic acid and how can it help me get rid of belly fat? CLA links to a family of plenty isomers of linoleic acid which originate mainly in dairy products and meat. I hope that is not much to understand? Or are you thinking of what isomers are? In time past, scientists in Sweden have given out information about patients taking CLA lose fat, particularly belly fat or abdominal fat. CLA is a special type of fatty acid and can be obtained in the United States withour prescription. I was further intimated that in 2001 a trial was carried out, people who were taking about 4 grams of CLA on a daily basis shed almost 4% of their body fat and cut down their tummy fat over 12 weeks (3 months) with no other dietary or exercise changes. Now don't say 3 months is too far; cutting down on fat takes time and it depends on your dedication and if you have read the last lines clearly it states without any exercise; it could well be lesser with exercise. Now back to CLA; another study in 2004 also revealed that CLA might slightly decrease body fat without changing body mass index. It was also concluded that no side effects were recorded by the use of conjugated linoleic acid. Results for CLA were also positive in three clinical studies with few adverse effects according to Creighton University Medical Hospital.

I know you are probable thinking a 4% reduction of fat is not reasonable but come to think about it, hey! You dropped some flesh and it's imperative for your health. According to Doctors at laval University, Quebec - specialist in abdominal fat study, 5% to 10% reduction in belly fat can trim down the risk of diabetes and heart disease by as much as 60%.

While Conjugated Linoleic Acid mayn not entirely be presented as a total cure for belly fat all by itself, it is undoubtedly one way to target belly fat loss. I strongly believe that if you combine it with the next information I am going to supply you about belly fat then you would be sure to shed considerable amount of fat.

Belly Fat Diet

There are various ways to lose belly fat and the belly fat diet is what we would talk about this morning. I was talking to a friend yesterday and she said "did you chew onions?"

There has been a whole lot of questions about how to loose belly fat and what diet can one go on in order to burn belly fat. Apart from regular workouts to lose belly fat, we should also concentrate of the food we take into our system because they also contribute to building up fat in the body and hence expanding our stomach leaving a large chunk of fat below the stomach region.

I would be discussing 3 fruits and 3 spices that aid in reducing body fat and hence stomach fat. I took my time to do an indebt research and study and I discovered that some of the fruits and vegetables that we disregard or are misinformed about can actually help us live longer and possibly add an extra 5 – 20 years to our life if we form the habit of eating them. They also help in losing belly fat.

Here are the first 3 spices under consideration that can help burn fat

1. Garlic: Enhances Blood Flow and Burns LDL Cholesterol In Blood Vessels!

For ages, Garlic has been one of the most sought after spice used in medicine. Study has shown that Garlic is known to contain a compound called “Allicin”. This is a powerful anti-oxidant which helps to protect the body from damage resulting from the movement of free radicals produced from the acidic environment of the body caused by the decomposition of unhealthy processed food in our body.

Another study from University of Alabama at Birmingham by Gloria Benavides, also shows that eating of Garlic, helps in the increase in blood flow and relaxes the blood vessels, thus reducing the risk of a heart disease, this is made possible because of the release of a compound called Hydrogen sulphide. Research evidence has shown that Garlic is the only spice that can provide Hydrogen Sulphide in our diets unlike other plants which are processed as drugs.

In my own case, I regularly buy grinded garlic in bottles and add it to nearly all my meals especially when cooking my Turkey or Chicken or Fish. If you are not eating Garlic, add it to your menu from your next meal.

1. Onions: This is an incredible food and spice. I recommend it should be taken everyday if you can.

Before making my discoveries about onions, I love eating onions with nearly all my foods especially sliced raw onions on my rice. Some time ago, I came across a study that took a survey of a large number of people who have lived over 100 years from several countries, one of the most interesting and common comments coming from the participants is that each of them ate a lot of onions during their lifetime.

Further more, I read about the nutritional value of onions, I was made to understand that onions (and Garlic) contain some unique and powerful anti-oxidant that are uncommon in other foods. These constituents help in very impressive reduction in cancer. Onions also help in protection against cardiovascular diseases, stomach ulcer or cancer, and reduction of tumors growing in the body amongst several other curative benefits.

Now my question is this; What would life be like without onions? In eating onions, it will be good if you can eat it raw the way I do, and add it in your salads, vegetables, early morning fried eggs, and in your lunch as well as your supper. If you are serious about ways to burn belly fat you can stick to this belly fat diet.

3. Ginger: Known to increase metabolic rate and promote circulation of energy.

Ginger has been used for over a period of 2500 years by the Chinese herbalists for medicinal purposes and for flavouring foods.

In fact because Ginger has so many health benefits as a spice, it has been said by some people to be the plant taken directly from the Garden of Eden in Bible times. One of the beliefs of many people who travel a lot and have used Ginger while traveling by air is that, it prevents motion sickness and can be added to nearly all food recipe.

Below are some of the health benefits of eating Ginger;

•Stimulation of blood circulation
•Relaxes the blood vessels
•It is an anti-clotting agent
•It protects the body from fungus attack
•It prevents Inflammation in the body
•It has antiseptic properties
•It is anti-bacterial in nature
•It can be used as an analgesic
•Minimizes respiratory, colds, and allergies symptoms
•Prevents nausea, digestive problems and Arthritis.
With all the listed benefits of Ginger, it is becoming one of the world’s most sought after recipe for producing drugs for treating many maladies.

Now let’s move on to the 3 fruits that are very healthy and fat burning and that you can also eat as much as you want without any guilt whatsoever that you will gain fat while eating them.

Bananas

Banana is my special, I so love it, I could consume a whole basket.lol. I simply can’t get enough of it, especially when I take it with Groundnuts. It is so filling that after eating this fruit meal, I don’t feel like eating any real or cooked food. However, some people have a different view about banana as a fattener? The question thus is can ripe banana make you fat?

Well, here is my answer. The simple truth is, there is no fruit eaten in its natural form that is going to help you gain fat when taken in its raw form. You are free to eat Bananas to your heart’s desire without any guilt feeling because it’s natural and very healthy.

Here are few reasons why Bananas are not fattening;

•Banana is never stored in your body as fat because it digest easily.
•No fruit in its natural state is fattening, ripe or unripe.
•Bananas generally take about 45 minutes to digest while other fruits take 15 minutes, that explains why people who eat banana say they feel heavy, but you are okay after 45 minutes.
•If you take a breakfast of bananas and other fruits, you will notice a drastic change in weight loss in one week.
•Bananas are rich in minerals like potassium,zinc and vitamin A, Vitamin C, and these components don’t make people fat, but healthy.
•Bananas are detoxifiers because it is a source of fiber and helps in constipation, hence it helps in losing weight and not in gaining fat.

For best results, it is best to eat Bananas on empty stomach and it is pertinent you follow this each time you consume your banana because of the following reason. It takes 45 minutes for Bananas to digest, Cooked food take about 3 hours, therefore when you take Banana with cooked food, it will take the same 3 hours for the Banana to digest because it is taken the same time with the real food.

So it is always better to wait 45 minutes after eating Banana before you can eat any other cooked food. That way, you will never experience any weight gain.

Watermelon

Watermelon, a fruit drink I can’t simply do without. I enjoy it when very cold and refrigerated. Now let me put your mind at ease, Watermelon is very good for you and doesn’t make one fat. I call Watermelon a fruit drink because it is a fruit rich in water content (about 90% water). Apart from the nutritious water content, it is very rich in Vitamin A and C. It also provides energy to the body in the form of natural fructose. Fructose in plants are non fattening. And above all watermelon washes away toxins in the body, a good detoxifier.

Now, I want you to know one fact, Watermelon has very high calories.

You may wonder, but doesn’t food that has high calorie make one fat? The answer is a capital NO!

The thing is, calories have nothing to do with weight gain, that is why you should not count calorie when eating. In fact, I call counting calorie the foolishness of modern day misinformed dietitian. Your focus should be at looking at food types, but not calories in food.

Here is the criteria to gauge any food that is fattening.

•Is the food processed? (bakery, soft drinks, snacks)
•Is the food cooked with vegetable oil? (Fried food is a no go area)
•Is the food non vegetarian? (high fat content, low fiber)
•Is the food boiled? (less toxic but still healthy)
All fruits and raw foods are healthy and are non fattening.

Mangoes

Mangoes are also healthy and good. Mangoes according to studies have 28g carbohydrates per serving and 3g dietary fiber and 24g natural sugar.

Here is the nutrition analysis of mangoes from a study I came across online. Mangoes gets its sweetness from carbohydrate contents and there are several varieties of mangoes all of which are healthy. Mango does not have any significant effect in increase blood sugar levels, so it does not promote fat storage and due to the medium glycemic index, mangoes are okay for diabetics.

So, does eating mangoes promote fat gain? No, mangoes do not promote weight gain. What can promote weight gain are sugar loaded processed mango drinks. To recap, you can start using the 3 spices and the 3 fruits mentioned in this long article as part of the diet you need to confidently lose weight without any guilt feeling when consuming them.

 There are so many "how to lose belly fat" products out there that claim to help you cut down belly fat especially the ones that claim you can cut belly fat in one week or two weeks. I am not saying these do not work but in order for you to get rid of belly fat you have to ask your self this big question. Why do I have belly fat? Belly fat can be attributed to a number of things like eating late at nights - Have you ever observed the shape of your stomach when you wake up in the morning after having supper at about 11pm the previous day? It bulges just below; this is the accumulation of undigested food at the lower part of your abdomen; that leads to belly fat. Another cause of belly fat is eating excess of fatty and junk foods; these foods have the tendency to increase cholesterol level in your body making you put on more weight and obese especially in your stomach region. Take a look at the obese people around you, do they have flat stomach? Or six pack? You can't imagine that I guess.You need to watch what you eat my friend.

There are so many ways to lose belly fat. If you practice these tips to loose belly fat and stick to it then be sure to have that belly fat well toned maybe into a six hard pack.

Tip 1:Discipline yourself/Eat Right - Avoid taking fatty foods and eating late at night as I have observed that this has a way of increasing belly fat. I used to be a late night eater after coming back late from work and I observed my stomach was going out of shape. I stopped eating late, you can also make your food digest immediaely by taking fruits like oranges and taking pawpaw. Also avoid taking junks as this does you no good.These days, doctors are constantly warning about the health dangers of belly fat as people are diagnosed with high cholesterol levels emanating from eating junk foods and other unhealthy eating habits

Tips 2: Regular Exercise - Exercising is imperative as it helps to cut down belly fat to the barest minimum. Excercising includes taking a walk to work depends on the distance 2000 steps a day is good for the body, use the stairs when you get to your office instead of the elevator; believe me it helps a lot I guarantee, you can get yourself a skipping rope or a bicycle. Cycling helps cut down excess fat in the body and hence belly fat, aha swimming that's my regular.

Tip 3: Steer Cleer of Alcohol/Smoking - Regular intake of alcohol eg beer would make your stomach increase in size. I can attest to this fact as I have been a victim, I stood infront oh my mirror one morning and I hated myself, my belly fat had increased drastically and I seemed like I have to big ball in front of me. Aaarrgh you don't want to look like that do you? Alcohol and cigarrette smoking are know to increase the stress hormone known as cortisol in your body.

In order to get rid of belly fat you need to discipline yourself by taking appropriate diet and doing the appropriate excercises continuously. You might not get immediate response but the more you apply these the more belly fat you burn and the sexier you become. I hope this helps. Until next time.
