November 1st, 2009What would be better? Hardcore dieting with a little exercise or Hardcore exercise and a little dieting?
I know a both are important, but if you had to pick what would be most effective for your body what would you choose?
I forgot to say that-
I know people who exercise like machines just so they can eat badly.
I also know people who eat the bearest of minimums to avoid exercising!

The Zone Diet works on the principle that 100,000 years ago, we were meat eaters, and our metabolism is designed to handle the demands of a meat-based diet.
Madonna, Demi Moore, and Jennifer Aniston swear by the results of the Zone Diet, which was created by Barry Sears, PhD. The Zone Diet contains 40% carbohydrate, 30% protein, and 30% fat and is known as the 40-30-30 plan.
As the food industry evolved, more carbohydrates have been introduced into our daily diet, thus causing an imbalance in our metabolism to burn fat. The reason for our extra weight can also be attributed to the many grains and starches in our diet (pasta, rice, breads, and potatoes). The Zone Diet’s approach calls for a return to the diets of our ancestors where meat, fruits, and vegetables are the main dietary foods.
The Zone Diet suggests that you need the right ratio of carbohydrates to proteins and fats in order to control the insulin in the bloodstream. Too much of the hormone (insulin) can increase fat storage and inflammation in the body (conditions that are associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease). Sears asserts that by using the Zone Diet, you are actually optimizing the body’s metabolic function. Through the regulation of blood sugar, you allow your body to burn excess body fat.
Although you are not prohibited from any particular food group, it is best to avoid food with high fat and carbohydrates such as grains, starches, and pastas. The ideal sources of carbs are fruits and vegetables and for monounsaturated fats olive oil, almonds, and avocados are recommended. The Zone Diet claims to use food as a drug for overall good health, weight loss and prevention or management of heart disease and diabetes.
Sears says that you can test to see whether you are ‘hormonally’ correct by eating following the Zone diet and see how you feel four hours later. To simplify the Zone Diet, fill one-third of a plate with low-fat protein, and then two-thirds with fruits and vegetables.
Celebrities and some health experts say that the Zone’s recommendations do not stray far from the USDA’s (United States Dietary Association) dietary guidelines and therefore are advocates of the Zone Diet. Others argue that the Zone Diet has flawed ratios but Sears argues that the Zone diet is a low-glycemic-load diet that has adequate protein. .
A critic of the Zone diet such as the AHA (American Heart Association) classifies the Zone Diet as high protein and does not recommend the Zone Diet for weight loss. They contend that the Zone Diet has not been proven effective in the long term for weight loss. The AHA issued an official recommendation warning against diets like the Zone Diet. They believe that the Zone Diet is hazardous as it restricts the intake of essential vitamins and minerals present in certain foods. The AHA also contends that the protein ratio in the Zone diet is too high even if the minimal fat ratio is good. Robert H. Ecker M.D of the A.H.A. finds the Zone Diet’s theory on insulin flawed and argues that there is no scientific proof that the hormone insulin plays a big role in weight regulation.

Since when was getting a raw deal a good thing? When you decide to try the Raw Food Diet, apparently. Proponents of this natural food diet stick to unprocessed uncooked plant foods, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouts, seeds, nuts, grains, beans, dried fruit, and seaweed.
Most adherents are vegetarian, while some eat raw fish and even fewer eat (gulp!) raw meat. Either way, you may as well say bye-bye to that new stainless steel stove of yours. That’s because raw food proponents believe that heating any food above 116 degrees Fahrenheit destroys important enzymes that help in digestion and absorption of the essential nourishment you get from your meals.
Critics claim that even if enzymes are inactivated when food is heated, the body uses its own enzymes for digestion. They also point out that cooking makes some phytochemicals easier to absorb into your system.
Regardless of which side you stand on, the emphasis on natural, non-processed food sources, is undeniably a good place to start.
So, are you still interested in trying the raw eating lifestyle? Since this is a pretty drastic change in your eating habits, you may experience some withdrawal symptoms such as headaches and nausea when you first give up sugar and caffeine. But don’t fret; it should only last a couple days. You may also risk some nutritional deficiencies such as protein, calcium and iron, so consider consulting your doctor first.

Ever since I started dieting, my stomachs been really sensitive- is this normal?
October 14th, 2009I’ve been dieting for about the last three weeks. I’ve mostly just been counting calories and eating healthier, but a little less than a week into it certain foods would upset my stomach, and other times just smelling certain foods will make me feel slightly nauseous. Is this normal?
I just got off my period a week and a half ago. But the upset stomach has been worse since I’ve had a cold though, if that has anything to do with it.

So many diet supplements make lofty claims of dramatic weight loss yet carry potentially dangerous risks. In fact, the term “diet pill” itself can carry negative connotations in the minds of dieters looking for help. Unfortunately, many overweight people simply cannot lose weight on their own. Finding time to exercise or plan nutritious meals can be impossible in this hectic day and age. It is essential for some dieters to add a supplement to their diet plan.
One new and safer choice of diet supplements on the market is Hydrox-Slim. Hydrox-Slim fully discloses its ingredients, which are all natural and healthy. Hydrox-Slim contains a blend of essential vitamins and plant extracts. Green Tea, one of Hydrox-Slim’s ingredients, has been hailed by many for its healing powers as well as its weight loss benefits.
Many weight loss pills with risky side effects contain the stimulant Ephedrine or contain Ephedrine-substitutes. Some of the many health dangers of Ephedrine include cardiovascular and respiratory problems. Hydrox-Slim does not contain Ephedrine. In fact, the only stimulant Hydrox-Slim contains is caffeine, which occurs naturally in Green Tea. Hydrox-Slim is not only a safer alternative for dieters, but it also combats fat and calories in several ways, making it more effective than dieting pills that only have one purpose, for example, to suppress hunger.
Hydrox-Slim’s special blend of natural elements causes a natural physiological response of the body called thermogenesis. Thermogenesis is the process by which the human body creates heat. Substances that cause this effect are called thermogenics and are commonly used in products for losing weight. When a dieter takes Hydrox-Slim, his or her body produces heat by increasing the rate of metabolism. Metabolism is the body’s processes which break down food and create energy. When your metabolism increases above its normal rate, you burn fat and calories faster.
In addition to burning fat faster, the ingredients in Hydrox-Slim help suppress your appetite. Not only does the diet pill make you feel hungry less often, but you will feel full sooner. Many overweight individuals actually overeat, which makes losing weight difficult. With Hydrox-Slim’s hunger suppressing power, you can limit your eating to normal, healthy amounts.
Hydrox-Slim’s natural ingredients also have the added benefits of reducing water retention and even lower blood pressure. Slimming down and losing weight also has many other health benefits, which include boosting energy, enhancing your appearance, and reducing the risk of obesity-related health risks such as diabetes and heart problems.
While Hydrox-Slim seems safer and more healthy than other dieting products, it is also less expensive than other brands. That is not to suggest that Hydrox-Slim is of lower quality, only that other diet pills are over-priced. Hydrox-Slim costs as little as $20 per bottle.
It is simple to incorporate Hydrox-Slim into your daily routine. You can take between two and four pills a day, and you must take it thirty minutes before eating or work outs to see maximum results. Hydrox-Slim is not for women who are pregnant or nursing, and if you are sensitive to caffeine, you should avoid this diet product.
