Cabbage Soup Diet



The Cabbage Soup Diet is a very strict, very low calorie diet and isn't for the faint hearted. You eat mainly cabbage soup, fruit, other veg and some meat, but shouldn't stay on it for more than week. You can lose up to 10 pounds.

What is The Cabbage Soup Diet?

The Cabbage Soup Diet is an extremely low-fat, high-fibre diet that lasts seven days. By the end of the week, fans of the diet claim you'll have lost up to 10 pounds. It's only designed as a kick-start to help you lose weight quickly and is not supposed to be a long-term healthy eating plan.

How does The Cabbage Soup Diet work

It's simple - you make and eat as much cabbage soup as you want! You're also allowed a combination of different low fat foods on each day, mainly other fruits and vegetables. The homemade cabbage soup has virtually no calories so, hopefully, you'll feel full and still lose weight. 

Cabbage Soup ingredients

6 large onions, chopped
2 green peppers, diced
2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole)
250g mushrooms, sliced
1 bunch celery, chopped
1/2 head cabbage, chopped
3 carrots, sliced
1 package dry onion soup mix
1 or 2 cubes bouillon (optional)
Salt and pepper
For added flavour: Cayenne pepper, curry powder, mixed herbs or any other seasoning.

Cabbage Soup recipe method

1. Use spray oil to fry the chopped onions in a large pot.
2. Add the green pepper pieces and cook for one min.
3. Add the chopped cabbage leaves, sliced carrots, celery and mushrooms.
4. Sprinkle over a little cayenne pepper or curry powder.
5. Add 12 cups of water and any additional stock cubes.
6. Cook over a medium heat until the soup is the vegetables are tender and the soup is the right consistency.

Detox Soup Diet


The soup:
The heart of the diet is vegetable soup. Excluding potatoes, you can use any veg you like - experiment! - but the simplest version of the recipe is this:

Take equal portions of
Spinach
Carrots
Celery
Onions
Green peppers
Tomatoes

Chop them up, chuck them into a pot, cover with water and cook! Once cooked, blitz the softened vegetables in a food processor. You could also throw in some fresh herbs or spices for a bit of extra flavour. And there you have it - a unique, tasty and filling vegetable soup that you'd never find in a can!

No tinned!
Don't just buy tinned vegetable soup - the sodium content is through the roof and they often don't contain many vegetables. And many vegetable soups contain potatoes, which are high in starch and have a high GI. Leave them out as your goal is to lose weight!

FREE 17 Weight Loss Secrets the Industries NEVER want you to hear Part 17

17.Can pills help you lose weight?

There is not, of course, a definitive answer to that question. A certain supplement might help ‘you’ to lose weight but it may be of no help to another person. That person may find a certain pill works for them - but it wouldn’t work for you.

I have heard many stories from people who have found some success with pills such as Honey Garlic and Vinegar tablets, with pills that bind fat and with pills that lower their stress levels and therefore decrease their overeating. If you are suffering from a nutrient deficiency then a supplement of that nutrient could also help.

The main thing to bear in mind is to consider what the cause of your weight gain has been - and to ask yourself whether the supplement is the right answer for you.

Many people hope that a pill will solve the weight problem so that they do not have to change their lifestyle or the ways they act and eat in any way.

16.A ‘healthy’ diet is actually very simple and is the best way to maintain a healthy weight

Sugar is highly addictive and makes you put on weight. It even makes you hungry.
Pure sugar is the worst but the sugars/carbohydrates found in white breads and white pasta, for example, have a similar effect on your health and weight.

To simplify things completely, a healthy diet should contain plenty of whole foods that you cook yourself. That means brown breads and pasta and rice - sometimes if not all the time. You need a good amount of protein with most meals rather than just eating starch. Each meal should ideally be made up of roughly 30% vegetables.
Also eat fruits, nuts and healthy olive oil.

A small amount of sugar each day is fine for most people. A constant craving for sugar foods is a tell-tale sign that things are not good!

15.Drink plenty of WATER - NOT low-calorie drinks

There are several quite complex reasons why drinks (and indeed foods) containing artificial sweeteners can make you put on weight. There is both the way in which they alter your relationship with eating and drinking - as well as the direct physical effects it has on your body.

Eating and drinking should be about feeding your body with the many different nutrients it needs to remain healthy - as well as the pleasure of the experience. If we try and cheat the system and have our cake and eat it then this healthy attitude can be thrown out of balance.

From your body’s point of view itself, when you drink something like a can of diet lemonade, your body is fooled into believing that what it must now deal with is high in calories and sugar. This not surprisingly causes all kinds of confusion, incorrect processes and can lead to you craving the wrong kinds of foods to compensate.

Drinking water, on the other hand, helps your body to eliminate toxins and wastes and keeps it in better health. Insufficient fluid intake can lead to many problems including a reduced metabolic rate.

14.It’s not just OK to snack between meals, it can help you lose weight!

Many of us have been told through the years that snacking between meals is a sure fire way of putting on weight. Yet this is exactly the opposite of the truth.
(Depending to some degree, of course, on what snacks you choose...)
Whenever we eat, our metabolic rate increases for anout 90 minutes afterwards. The more often we eat, therefore, the higher our metabolism throughout the day.
Somebody who eats five meals of 300 calories each, therefore, will burn more fat than somebody who eats three meals of 500 calories.

Secondly, the longer you wait between meals, the hungrier you are likely to be when the meal comes and you may end up eating a lot very quickly.

Finally, the longer you wait between meals, the more likely your body is to sacrifice muscle tissue to the production of energy than burning fat instead.
As I’m sure you already know, fruit and nuts make very good snacks but are not the only things you can eat. A small wholemeal sandwich with a healthy filling would do very nicely as well.

13.Avoid filling your kitchen with lots of diet foods

Foods like diet bars and low-calorie foods can be treacherous. Not only are they seldom actually a healthy option, but they can actually lead to you eating more because you think it’s ‘sin free’.

Experts have also discovered that when people are surrounded by lots of different foods that they can eat and choose from, they end up eating more. This has been cited as the reason why the Atkin’s Diet worked well for people during its hay day when the diet you were told to eat was simple - but then became less effective when marketeers cashed in on the craze with low-carbohydrate foods of any variety you felt you might want, or they were able to persuade what you wanted.

It’s also the reason why a lot of people sware by the empty cupboard approach to eating a healthier diet. If you don’t see it, you won’t eat it!

FREE 17 Weight Loss Secrets the Industries NEVER want you to hear Part 12

12.Keep any dietary changes simple

As we saw above, any drastic reductions you make in your calorie intake may simply lead to a drop in your metabolism which won’t help you to lose weight in the long run. While some people do succeed in fast and dramatic weightloss through dramatic changes in their calorie intake, most people will be better suited to a slight decrease
(100-200 calories per day) in the expectation of achieving a slow reduction of rate over the long-term.

Try to make cuts where you won’t miss it - rather than depriving yourself of foods that you love.

4 Ways on How to Lose Weight Without Popping Diet Pills - Avoid Health Risks


Staying in shape can sometimes become a very difficult undertaking, especially if you have been gradually gaining pounds all through these years. And now, as the time comes that you have decided to call it quits, losing weight is really easier said than done. But before you head to the nearest drugstore, you have to know that there are ways to lose weight without popping a pill. These easy and inexpensive ways not only prove to be effective in keeping your weight checked, but also reduce the risk of heart disease and lower the blood pressure level.

1. Low-calorie diet. By just reducing your daily calorie intake by 500, you will be able to lose about 1 to 2 pounds every week. Yes, it is a slow and tedious process when compared to diet pills, but cutting back on calories is safe. It gives no side effects and saves you on grocery.

2. Be active. No matter how you dream of losing weight, if you are eating more than you consume, the pounds will just keep on piling up. The general rule is "do more, eat less." However, don't just jump off your couch and start exercising. Depending on your health condition, weight, and personal preference, your exercise can range from 30-minute brisk walking to jogging.

3. Eat a wide variety of foods. Don't think that this permits you do eat chocolates, ice cream, and cakes. If you want to lose weight, you have to widen your eating preference but limit it to good, healthy foods rich in protein, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fat.

4. Take it slowly but surely. Quick-fix weight loss pills may do the job well, but they don't assure you of sustainability. Quitting on diet pills will just bring back the pounds you lost. So if you want to be safe and sure, taking it slowly is the way to go.

How to Lose Weight Quick and Easy - 3 Secrets to Losing Weight Without Feeling Hungry


Many people fail to stick with their diets because they complain of hunger and an inability to endure the pain they assume must come with weight loss. The truth is, you don't have to and should never feel hungry when you're trying to lose weight. On the contrary, you can lose a significant amount of weight very quickly without ever feeling hunger. Here are three tips to follow that will help you get thinner fast:

1. Teach yourself how to recognize your true level of hunger. Imagine your hunger is on a scale where 0 is completely starving and 10 is stuffed to the point of discomfort. Throughout the day, check yourself and take a rough estimate of your hunger.

If you experience a strong craving for food, give it a few minutes before you let yourself eat. During this time, rate your hunger from 0 to 10. Unless you truly are hungry, don't allow yourself to fall prey to temptation. Take the little break to let any psychological cravings pass.

2. The best defense against feeling hungry while you're dieting is to eat foods that keep you feeling fuller longer. In order to do this, pack each meal with lean protein because it's harder for your body to process.

Stick to fish, lean pork and beef, chicken, and turkey. You'll notice that you won't feel hungry again for long after you finish your meal.

3. Eat small meals but eat frequently and snack wisely. Distributing your calories throughout the day is the key to losing weight quickly without ever feeling hungry. You'll make it to your goal weight before you know it and you'll never ever feel like you dieted.

11.You don’t have to go to the gym to get the best ‘exercise’

“Exercise’, I think, is a misleading word, often leading people to feel that if they’re not wearing shorts or a tracksuit while they’re doing it then it isn’t exercise. All that is really called for, in fact, is an increased level of ‘activity’.

As we age, we tend to lead a decreasingly active lifestyle. We swap our bike, for a car, for example. We no longer have to push the children round in pushchairs. And we perhaps have a decreasing urge to get up and go out. We can afford to have a cleaner. We can get our groceries delivered via the internet. And it is this decrease in exercise that makes our bodies gradually lose their strength.

There is no doubt, of course, that going to the gym or fitness classes is a great way to get exercise and for many people it is just the motivation they need. Booking into a regular class also means they don’t have a choice about whether to go or not. But gyms are expensive and can also be intimidating.

For other people, different ways of getting more activity are more suitable. Some may just prefer to walk for twenty or thirty minutes three times a week. Others may respond well to joining dance classes or bowls. Others may prefer to lift weights and do strengthening exercises in the privacy of their own homes.

10.The amount of calories you need to eat varies greatly according to your size and weight

A tall, muscular person will have a much higher BMR than a person of the same height and weight who is carrying more fat rather than muscle. The muscular man will therefore need to eat more calories than the less muscular man. The tall flabby man, however, may still need to eat more calories than a small muscular man.
A small woman who exercises very little will only need to eat a small amount of food compared to a larger woman - especially if she has a strong body.

9. Exercise is just as important to losing weight as looking at your diet - but not necessarily for the reasons you think

Many people believe that the reason exercise helps you lose weight is by burning up lots of calories. While running for half an hour or doing an aerobics class may burn up one to two hundred calories, this is still not a lot compared to the amount your body will need during the day even if you’re sitting still. Most of the calories you burn in a day are used to keep your body alive and that amount, known as the Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR. Only around 20% of the calories you need are used in physical activity.

8. How low-calorie food can make you put on even more weight

Whether it’s strawberry cheesecake, macaroni cheese or Chicken Chop Sui, you can now buy almost any kind of food your taste buds desire in the ‘low fat’ form.

Unfortunately for your waistline, however, the promise of low-fat can actually mean piling on more pounds. Why? Because more often than not, low-fat foods contain a high level of sweeteners, sugar and carbohydrates that can cause weight gain. They may also lead your body to crave more of the real and nutritionally rich food you crave. Not to mention the fact that it’s all adding to your uneasy relationship with ‘real’ food itself.

How to Lose Weight Without Exercise, Dieting, Or Weight Loss Pills

Here's how you can lose up to 20 pounds of weight this coming year that doesn't involve any type of exercise, no dieting of any kind, and no diet pills. Anyone can do it regardless of age, sex, or current fitness level. You don't have to do countless sit-ups, or countless hours of weight training or cardio. You don't have to eat rabbit food, and you definitely don't have to take any expensive pills.
This method for how to lose weight without exercising, dieting, or taking pills is not a fad. It is as sound today as it will be a week from now, a year from now, heck, even 10 years from now. If all of this seems too good to be true, then read on you you'll soon be convinced.
I'm about to reveal this weight loss method to you, but first, let me give you some background information. The average American currently consume about 10% of their calories from sugary sodas. If you eat the typical 2000 calories per day, then 200 of those come from sugar filled sodas.
Sodas contain what are commonly known as "empty calories." They're called "empty" because they provide no nutritional value. On the contrary, these calories usually end up going to your waistline, or hips stored as ugly fat.
Now let's do some simple math. If 200 of your daily caloric intake come from soda, then one month's worth adds up to about 6,000 calories. Over the course of a year, you will have consumed around 73,000 calories from sugary soda!
Let's keep doing math. Fat contains 3,500 calories. So, if you wanted to lose a pound of fat, you'd have to burn off these 3,500 calories in some way, usually from exercise. You could also lose these same calories by cutting down on your daily caloric intake, or by dieting. You could also try burning these calories by using some type of expensive, thermogenic (fat-burning) pills. There is another way...
Let's say that you stopped drinking soda for the next year, how much fat could you potentially lose? We already did the math above and we know that if you cut out the soda for the next year, you'd be sparing yourself 73,000 calories. How does this equate to fat loss? Well, 73,000 (calories from soda in one year) divided by 3,500 (calories in a pound of fat) equals almost 21 pounds of fat lost.
So if you want to know how to lose weight without exercising, dieting, or pills, start by applying the simple math I described above. It might take a little bit of will power, but isn't it worth it to be 20 pounds lighter one year from now without having to do anything else. You don't have to do any extra cardio exercises at the gym. You can keep eating the same way. You don't have to buy anything at all. In fact, you'll even save all that money you used to spend on soda while you're burning that fat off, and losing that weight.

7. How the junk food industry makes a fortune by turning YOU into a junkie

If you find yourself eating a lot of fast foods such as pizzas, burger meals, doughnuts, hot dogs, sausage rolls and packaged cakes then there’s a good chance you may be addicted not only to the ease, the taste and the speed of the experience but also to the chemicals they contain.

Part of the reason all those foods taste so great is because of the chemicals they add to them to enhance the flavours - a taste for which can become highly addictive. It is also known that foods that contain both high levels of fat and sugar can give quite a strong feeling of rush or of a ‘high’ to the brain - similar to that experienced by people consuming alcohol or opiate drugs.

Fast foods are not just bad for your weight; they’re bad for your health as well - often leading to heart problems, diabetes and stress on the liver.
If you feel that you are addicted to food in any way then changing your eating habits will take a concerted effort - similar to that needed by those giving up smoking.

Lose 10 Pounds in Days - Quick Ways to Lose Pounds Without Extreme Dieting Or Exercising!


Here's how to lose 10 pounds in days. I'm going to give you some quick and effortless ways to lose pounds without you having to suffer through extreme dieting and endless exercising.

Lose 10 Pounds in Days

1. Eat a big breakfast with lots of protein and fiber

There's a simple breakfast that everyone can use to start dropping pounds and inches in days. That breakfast consists of 2-4 scrambled eggs and 1/2 can of black beans.

The high amounts of protein and fiber in them start the day off right.

If you were to eat this breakfast, you'll quickly notice that you snack less in the afternoon and evening. You'll also eat a little less for your meals.

This is important because you want your big meals earlier in the day so they have more time to be burned off for energy.

2. Spin for hormonal weight loss

You may think of weight loss in terms of diet and exercise. This is the wrong way to look at it since your hormones are VITALLY important. They need to be balanced so you don't regain the weight back.

If you're overweight, then the chances are that your hormones are unhinged... unbalanced. It's been recently discovered that spinning around in a circle, like what children do, actually brings your hormones more in balance which turns the key to using your hormones for weight loss.

3. Eat low calorie yogurts for digestive health

Your digestive health is also an important factor in weight loss. If you're constipated a lot, your digestive health isn't in the best shape. What you can do is start eating 2-3 low calorie yogurts (80 or less calories) to feed your digestive system the HEALTHY bacteria that it needs to create the environment within your body to achieve accelerated weight loss.

These are some quick ways to lose pounds without doing anything extreme. You can lose 10 pounds in days just by following the above information with consistency.








If you're SICK and TIRED of getting the same old boring weight loss advice... you know, like "Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink 8 glasses of water, jog, and blah blah blah", then...

Click http://www.weightlossguide4women.com to get your FREE EBOOK "How SPINNING Around Like a Child TRIPLES your Weight Loss". A strange, but true, way to LOSE 10 pounds in 2 weeks.

6. The weight loss industry makes huge amounts of money out of your ‘wishful thinking’

It cannot be denied, of course, that for many people eating too much has been the main cause of their weight gain over the years - whether it’s a case of just eating a hundred or a few hundred calories more than your metabolism can deal with each day or anything up to a serious problem with overeating or an addiction to overeating.

In their seminal book on overcoming bad habits and change, Changing for Good, the three doctor authors say that ‘wishful thinking’ is one of the main things that prevents people moving forwards and altering their behaviour. Rather than having to change their own habits, they say, people want to find a ‘magic bullet’ solution instead. With weight loss this could be in the form of weight loss pills, low-calorie diet foods or faddish diets, for example.

Whatever it is in your life that has lead to your gaining weight, it is unlikely to change permanently unless you address that cause.

5. The clue to your weight gain may be in the foods that you DON’T eat or SHOULDN’T

Many people have also found the answer to their unexplained weight gain by reading information on nutrition or through consulting a nutritional expert. A food intolerance, hypoglycemia and Candida are all common conditions that can lead to weight gain. Specific nutrient deficiencies can also be a culprit - chromium, iodine and essential fatty acids being the main ones to watch out for.

Do not expect to get much help with your GP on nutritional causes - although don’t necessarily rule it out...

4. There are many medical conditions and drugs that can lead people to put on excess weight – even when they’re eating a very modest diet

If you have put on weight quite suddenly or in a particular area it is worth discussing this with your doctor - letting them know about any other symptoms or changes you have noticed as well. There are several medical causes of weight gain that even your GP may be able to diagnose!

If you are on medication, it is also possible that this medication has lead to weight gain. Again, always consult your doctor before ceasing any medication or making any changes. If a medication is the problem then it is often the case that an alternative drug can be found.

Common culprits include mood stabilisers, rheumatism cures, cortisone, anti-seizure medicines, contraceptives, migraine medicines, insulin, beta blockers and antiheartburn medicines. In many cases there will be an alternative medicine you can take that will have the same affect on controlling your condition without leading to unwanted weight gain.

3. The number one reason for failure among the
unsuccessful dieters I interviewed

From all the dieters who responded, I cannot think of a single one who said they lost weight and kept it off permanently thanks to a certain diet book they read or a diet they’d followed. Many had enjoyed short-term success but found the diets hard to follow and had put weight back on. In fact, it seemed that the more unsuccessful a dieter felt, the more likely they were to have followed prescriptive diets in the past.

You may be able to follow a diet regime that prescribes half a grapefruit for breakfast on a Monday, egg on rye bread on a Tuesday and so on for a few weeks but it is not a way of life.

Any changes you make in order to reduce your weight needs to be easily incorporated into your way of life

2. The number one reason for success among the
successful dieters I interviewed

From all the hundreds of replies I received from people, it quickly became apparent that among those who had successfully lost weight and kept it off, most had made the decisions about what actions they were going to take to change their diet or lifestyle themselves.

They had not followed the latest diet book or signed up to be sent menu sheets dictating everything they should eat at every meal. Neither had they bought expensive dieting products. They had educated themselves about nutrition, about food and weight and had chosen to make changes to their lifestyle themselves.

FREE 17 Weight Loss Secrets the Industries NEVER want you to hear. PART 1

‘Weight management’, for want of a better phrase, has always been a topic of great interest for me - firstly from a personal angle and then later from a professional one.

At the age of 19 it was brought to my attention that I had put on not an inconsiderable amount of weight. About a stone and half and I looked chubby. On a return home one weekend, my mother took me aside and revealed to me the three secrets that I believe have enabled me to maintain my weight and stay trim ever since.

As a health and lifestyles writer over the past two decades I have read and written about many topics that have increased my knowledge of weight management, nutrition and the fascinating workings of the human body. During my training in counseling, I became further interested in the role of psychology in the matter.

One thing that I have always found particularly interesting is the enormous difficulty that so many people have in losing weight. Over the past six months I have been interviewing people in the hope of getting to the bottom of why that is - and of writing material that will hopefully tackle some of the issues and help more people feel great about themselves and their weight and the food that they eat.

The response from hundreds of dieters have confirmed a lot of what I already knew but also brought a number of new realisations to light.

While I hope at some point in the near future to publish a far fuller and more actionable report, I hope these 17 points below will go some way towards helping you avoid the pitfalls that so many dieters fall prey to - including those created (whether intentionally or non-intentionally) by the many industries that profit from the huge numbers of people who always want to lose weight.

I also hope it will help you work towards a new idea of how to manage your weight.


1. Drastically restricting your calorie intake during a traditional ‘diet’ will not lead to effective and/or long term weight loss

Your body is a highly complex system built to adapt to the different situations and tough times that life can inflict upon it. When it comes to metabolism, the rate at which you burn energy is designed to respond flexibly to times of plenty and famine. If you suddenly restrict or decrease the amount of calories you give to your body, it responds by dramatically reducing the amount of calories it burns so that you can survive on what you’re getting. Your body may also start storing fat in case the famine gets even worse...

If you go on a calorie-restricting diet, your body will respond by lowering your metabolism. You may lose some weight but not necessarily much. If you then return to eating the same amount of food as you did before you started the diet you will put weight back on rapidly.

Lose Weight - Without a Diet!

We've known for some time now that there is a earnest problem with products that advertise how to lose weight without a diet. Reputable marketers continue to take caution to avoid false and misleading claims, but it appears that too many unscrupulous marketers are creating false claims promising dramatic and effortless ways to lose weight.
According to a report, a comparison of prevailing ads today to ads that ran in 1992 suggests that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of how to lose weight products or services and the amount of deceptive advertising, throughout the last decade. Since 1990, the Commission has filed 93 cases challenging false and misleading claims involving over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, commercial lose weight centers, lose weight devices and exercise equipment.
By using the growing problem of obesity in the United States, new plans to lose weight and products are constantly emerging, ordinarily with advertising that makes questionable claims and false promises. Savvy marketers know dieters are frustrated and vulnerable, so they feast on that vulnerability by tempting you with miraculous lose weight cures.
According to well being and nutrition experts, many of the lose weight products or services and programs most heavily advertised are either unproven or unsafe, and works by promising unrealistic results. The use of deceptive, false, or misleading claims in weight loss advertising is rampant and potentially dangerous. There are thousands upon thousands of lose weight web places, low carb diets, diet pills and other "so-called experts" that prey on desperate overweight people and use overly optimistic claims that get you to think and buy into his or her flat out lies. Therefore, reaping billions of dollars each year while your left still overweight and looking for answers.
In an effort to help and keep you from falling victim to the countless bogus weight loss claims of all the diet pills and many other lose weight products (essentially saving you money and time), here is a little hint that helps set the record straight as well as provide you with red flags to watch out for when researching or looking for support to lose weight. Be sure you check out the source and that it has a good reputation, history and customer satisfaction report.
The fever to look thin has spawned a decades-old, multibillion-dollar diet-pill and lose weight industry, in which questionable products commonly masquerade as the newest medical breakthrough.
I would love it if there was a genie in a bottle who would grant your wish for a lose weight miracle but we have to acknowledge the fact that diets don't work on a long term basis. What does work is nutritious food, quality supplements, and plenty of vigorous activity. You merely need to build a plan or purchase a plan that'll put you on the road to a more slender life.

Lose Weight Without Ever Dieting


The most common way people try to lose weight is by dieting. This may involve skipping meals, following one of the popular 'Fad Diets' or by simply restricting existing meal sizes. No matter which one of these approaches people choose to use, they are inherently destined to fail.

Firstly, any restriction of food intake invokes the body's Anti-Starvation Response, which results in reduced thyroid output (this slows metabolism), increased cortisol output (this breaks down lean tissue which leads to further metabolism reductions), increased production of fat-storing enzymes (which means when food is eaten it is likely to be stored as body fat), and increased appetite (which results in more food being eaten and more fat being stored).

Another major downfall of these approaches is their sustainability. It is impossible to stick to any diet long term because of its restrictive nature as well as because the foods eaten are generally vastly different to what the person normally eats. This ultimately means that the results achieved by following the diet will also be short term, leading to eventual weight gain.

It is actually possible to lose weight without dieting. This means no more starvation, no more calorie counting, and no more eating foods you don't enjoy. It is possible because this approach uses fundamental physiological principles/ laws that once you understand and apply them, the results immediately follow.

Here are the Top 7 Nutritional Principles to help you lose weight without dieting:

1. Have small, frequent meals

Some people who try to lose weight often skip meals in order to reduce their food intake. Whilst reducing food intake is beneficial in order to create an energy/ calorie deficit, skipping meals is not they way to do it. A far better approach is to have small meals often throughout the day.

Small, frequent meals help to keep the body's metabolism elevated, preserves muscle mass, reduces appetite, promotes fat burning in the body and reduces insulin secretion by the pancreas.

2. Have a portion of protein with every meal

It is also important to consider the composition of the food you eat because it determines the composition of your body; 'You are what you eat!' It is actually possible to favourably alter your body composition (less fat and more muscle) by simply altering the proportions of macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein and fat) in your diet. By doing this it allows you to eat more calories overall and still lose weight!

For example, by simply having a portion of protein with every meal and having your carbohydrate intake primarily come from more natural sources like, fruit and vegetables, your body composition will automatically change, no matter whether you exercise or not!

3. Reduce your intake of high-density carbohydrates and increase your intake of low-density carbohydrates.

High-density carbohydrates include foods like: bread, pasta, rice and cereals. They are generally refined, grain-based carbohydrate sources. Since they are refined and concentrated sources of carbohydrates, they tend to (but not always) induce an insulin spike in the body.

Insulin promotes fat production and storage as well as inhibits fat mobilisation and utilisation (fat burning) in the body. For maximum weight loss to occur, it is best to keep insulin as low as possible.

By having more of the low-density carbohydrates (broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, tomatoes, etc.), which are the more fibrous vegetables, carbohydrate and calorie intake can be reduced without compromising nutrient intake.

Since the low-density carbohydrates don't contain much carbohydrate, much less insulin is secreted when they are consumed. Therefore, it makes sense to increase your intake of these foods if you want to keep insulin low.

The '2 fruits and 5 vegetables a day' guideline is a good recommendation to follow.

4. Eat mainly whole foods with the occasional protein shake as a snack only

The human body is designed to eat whole foods. However, since one of the recommendations is to have small, frequently meals, in today's society this can often be difficult.

As a result, it is a good idea to have the occasional protein shake as a snack. They make it easy to have small, frequent meals, provide a good amount of protein and are usually low in carbohydrate and fat.

Be aware of some of the meal replacement shakes that are currently on the market. Many of them are loaded with high glycemic index carbohydrates, contain poor quality sources of protein and are recommended to replace main meals, which is certainly not a sustainable lifestyle option.

5. Drink plenty of water

In order to help your body function at optimum levels and therefore improve its fat-burning ability, it is essential to drink an adequate amount of water each day.

Drinking water is one of the easiest principles to incorporate into your lifestyle in order to assist your weight-loss efforts. However, it does require some planning and preparation. Make an effort to carry a water bottle with you wherever you go.

If you work in an office, keep the bottle on your desk and sip it constantly throughout the day. If you are on the road, invest in a 'fridge bag' or a small esky. This will make it easy to transport your water and meals.

This is such an easy principle to incorporate into your lifestyle. Anyone can drink more water if they simply make a conscious effort to do so and it will certainly help them lose weight faster.

6. Prepare your own meals

Most personal trainers say that if their clients are disciplined enough to prepare their own meals then it is far more likely that they will achieve the results they want.

Think about how many meals you have each week that you don't prepare yourself. These may include eating out at restaurants, dining at a friend's house, going through a drive-through at a fast-food outlet, picking up Chinese or a pizza on the way home or simply throwing one of the frozen dinners in the microwave.

If we assume that we consistently have 5 small meals a day, as we should, then over the period of week we will consume 35 meals. Then, if you can be certain that you're only having 2 or maybe 3 meals that you don't prepare yourself then you'll be fine. If not, consciously make an effort to incorporate this habit into your lifestyle; it will make a massive difference in your weight-loss efforts.

7. Eat 'normal, 'everyday' foods

Eating 'normal', 'everyday' foods seems like a standard recommendation but you would be amazed at how many diets actually make it difficult for you to do this.

Any nutritional plan you intend to follow must recommend foods that are easy to obtain, easy to prepare, foods that you currently eat and enjoy, the same as your family eats, foods that provide good nutrition to your body and a good variety of foods to ensure you provide your body with as many nutrients as possible.

This means you will be able to follow this nutritional plan for the rest of your life and therefore will be able to maintain your results once you achieve them.

Overall, if you incorporate the top 7 Nutritional Principles into your lifestyle you will be able to easily lose all the weight you want, achieve the body of your dreams and best of all, be able to maintain the results for the rest of your life.

Rapid Weight Loss Ideas - Is it Possible to Lose Weight Without a Diet


You might have seen many newspaper ads that blare out the magical formula of "No exercise, no dieting"! Men ogle at these stunning damsels in the ad flaunting their hour glass figures smiling at them while ladies fall head over heels for men with power packed abs. Did you know that now you too can own these perfect frames without punishing yourselves with rigid dieting schedules?

Lose weight not your mind! What if I say that, you too can lose pounds that too without breaking your bank? Well, if you follow our guide, you can easily knock off those extra pounds and tuck in the flab to have a trim and prim look.

No quick fix tips

Remember there are no short fix plans for weight loss. Diet pills, powders and massage creams that promise instant weight loss results are not approved by the FDA or similar authorities. Their ill effects on health are not fully understood and there are no hard evidences to prove that they actually work.

Rapid Weight Loss Ideas -The key to any weight loss program

The most significant step in any weight loss program is to eat less and work out more. All you have to do is to fine tune your eating habits and body movements to burn calories and tone up your muscles. Apart from a work out regimen in any gym, you can actively participate in all normal household chores like gardening or washing your car, which are very efficient in burning out extra calories.

Still require any Diet control? Not really

The best thing is that you don't have to necessarily change what you normally eat, but you can change the way you eat it. Eat a healthy and wholesome breakfast- the first and the biggest meal of the day. This ensures the right energy source for you to get going all day. If you love taking large suppers then care taking a brisk evening walk as you would be adding fat as you sleep as the body functions are at its lowest at night times. Try to include a protein rich diet that does not include excess of sugar and fat.

Or you can also try to find some healthier alternatives to the heavy food stuffs that you typically eat. Say yes to a blob of cheese instead of the slice of sausage while you savor your favorite pizza. Spare a thought before slamming the button of Almond Joy at the vending machine, as peppermint Pattie would be a healthier option. Use slow churned light ice cream instead of full fat ice cream and see these small changes make in your body composition. You are not asked to kill your wishes but thinking before eating just ANYTHING is not a bad idea. Enjoy eating but a healthy eating!

Healthy and handy rapid weight loss ideas

Does the thought of a mechanical work out in gym drive you nuts? Switch to much more natural forms of exercising such as walking for at least 20 minutes a day for three days a week. Join a walking club in your hometown, take your pet along during the morning walks to make it more interesting. Try taking the stairs instead of the elevator while in office or take a walk around the block during lunch recess instead of staying put on your chair all the while.

Have fun and burn out excess calories all at once using simple exercises like belly dancing, swimming or bicycling. Try to bring in more variety to your activities and throw up a surprise every other day to retain the tempo of the weight loss regimen.

It is the potent combination of a healthy diet coupled with exercises that will work magic on your frames. Lose weight without starving your selves. Eat all your favorite foods and nip the craving for food in the bud. However, do not forget to keep the limit and strictly follow the work out sessions to get a perfect figure that would grab a few eyeballs.

Ways on How to Lose Weight Without Extensive Diets

Losing weight is easy! How? Just cut off your daily intake of high calorie food and back it up with more and more exercise. These simple steps are the answers of almost all questions of the people on how to lose weight without extensive diets. Why is this so? It is simple.


Our bodies have organisms that seek energizers; calories are the primary example of it. When these organisms cannot find enough energizers from the food we eat, it will instead start to burn the stored fats in our waist and on the other parts of our body.  Therefore, the most practical way to lose weight is to follow a simple diet and burn energy by making exercise as a habit.


Though these approaches to lose weight are the most ordinary and healthy, many people failed to follow. This is actually the reason why weight loss pills were formulated, which is easier, no exercise and no diet to follow. Among the most common categories of these pills are the so-called fat binders and fat blockers. These pills work by decreasing the amount of fat that our body organism absorbs from foods. Xenical, one of the most common brands of Fat blockers, slows down the lipase enzyme in the intestines which breaks up fat making it prepared for digestion. This will prevent the fats from being absorbed by the organisms so it freely passes our body through the bowel. Fat binders on the other hand work by fastening the fat molecules. Same as fat blockers, it prevents the fats from being absorbed by the intestines. As expected from medicinal diets, fat binders and blockers have very wicked   side effects. Examples of these side effects are foul smelling and unmanageable anal discharges. Naturally, taking up diet pills to remove fats is easy and effortless but, it is also expected to be unhealthy. 


Moreover, appetite suppressants are another class of weight loss supplements. As it name indicates, these classes of supplements reduces your appetite by making your body organism feel like being full always. Hodia Gordonii, a cactus-like plant found in South Africa is one of the most known herbal appetite suppressants. This natural appetite suppressant was made known by Bushman during his long hunting adventures. Since this suppressant is most likely raw and a pure natural treatment, it does not have nasty side effects unlike those other synthetic appetite suppressors. 


This different ways on how to lose weight without extensive diets may be effective to some people. However, it is much more advisable to follow steps that require extensive effort, dedication and discipline. These steps may require you to exert effort and time, yet, they are proven to provide longer lasting effect. Remember, no glory can ever be obtained in just a single snap. What ever it is that you want to achieve, may it be to lose weight or anything else, hard work is the key.

How To Lose Weight Without Dieting



Let's face it. Dieting just doesn't work. You're either constantly grumpy from depriving yourself of the food you really want, or you're cheating, which defeats the entire purpose. Well, there are actually several small, easy and relatively painless changes you can make in your life that will help you take off some extra pounds and keep them off.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Fortitude
  • Walking shoes
  • Water bottle

How to Lose Weight Without Dieting


1. Move away from the candy bowl.
2. Step out for lunch. For the nine-to-fivers, start packing your own lunch. That way, you can use your lunch break to go for a walk. This will boost your energy level for the second part of your work day and is much better for you than another cup of coffee or a dip into the office candy bowl.
3. Eat an early dinner. It's not always easy, especially for the busy urban professional, but try to sit down to dinner by 7 p.m. And, much like the Gremlins, do not feed yourself after midnight.
4. Take your time and eat slowly. Not only will you be able to more fully enjoy each bite, but you will also be better able to feel yourself getting full.
5. When you're out to dinner and they bring around the dessert menu (or worse yet, the dessert tray), it's hard to say no. So don't! Instead, order one dessert for the table and share. Divvying up the calories lets everyone satisfy their cravings for the sweet without doing too much damage to the waist line.
6. Take the stairs.
7. Drink at least eight cups of water a day. Carry around a hard plastic water bottle and fill it up whenever you see a water cooler or drinking fountain. Water really does help flush toxins out of your system, not to mention that it speeds digestion.


Lose 24lb Without Going On A Diet!

Walking is one of the easiest ways to lose weight. A brisk stroll for just 45 minutes a day, four times a week, could help you lose two pounds a month. That adds up to 24 pounds over a year!

Apart from the slimming benefits, walking strengthens the heart and lungs, improves bone density and boosts your mood by increasing the production of the feel-good endorphins in the body. But, best of all, it helps suppress appetite, so you lose weight.

According to experts, 10,000 steps a day does the trick, which should take about an hour. That may sound a lot, but walking the kids to school, playing with them in the park and even running up and down the stairs, will add up to that magic total in no time. With our simple eight-point plan, you're guaranteed to slim and tone up in just four weeks.

According to experts, 10,000 steps a day does the trick, which should take about an hour. That may sound a lot, but walking the kids to school, playing with them in the park and even running up and down the stairs, will add up to that magic total in no time. With our simple eight-point plan, you're guaranteed to slim and tone up in just four weeks.

Eight-point plan

1. Fast, short steps will help you reach your daily step quota faster, so try to change the way you walk to reflect this.

2. Stride out with your head and shoulders relaxed, and pump your arms to work your heart and burn more calories.

3. Walk fast enough to work up a sweat, but not so fast that you haven't got enough breath to hold a conversation.

4. Walk on different kinds of surfaces. Uneven surfaces, such as woodland
or fields, will use different muscles, so you'll tone up faster. And if you walk up or downhill, you'll also burn flab faster.

5. Once you start to feel fitter, use small bottles of water as hand weights while you walk, these will help you burn an extra 200 calories per 30-minute session. It will also tone your arms, shoulders and back muscles.

6. Change one thing a day to ensure you stick to your walking routine. For instance, park the car three roads away from school when you pick up the kids, or walk up the stairs in the car park with the shopping instead of taking the lift.
7. Buy a pedometer to count the number of steps you take each day.

8. Walking is every bit as aerobic as running or a conventional gym class, so make sure you warm up and cool down with some gentle stretches with each session. Take deep breaths to bring down your heart rate, and bend from the waist to ease out your spine.
