Reshape The Family Diet -- Avoid Dinnertime Trouble
by Cyndi Thomas, ND
When I announced that my family needed to change its diet
somewhat... well, to say my children weren't as excited as me
would be an understatement.
More than once they cried: What? Salad again! When are we going
to have some real food?
My understanding reply was usually, "This is dinner...eat it or
starve." After all, I had taken it upon myself to get my family
in the best possible health -- NO MATTER WHAT!
I had decided n...

they really work, and if so, how well?

most important elements to their success.
First, you need to bring your carboydrate cravings under
control. Some diet programs argue that most of us are addicted

it to the glycemic index.

- you need to ov...

The Cabbage Soup Diet is a quick fix diet for those people who
only have a few pounds to lose. Unlike most other dietary
programmes, it does not encourage a change in the way you eat,
long term ' it is more a way of shifting surplus pounds in the
short term.
Many people go on the Cabbage Soup Diet in the week leading up
to a big event where they want to that little bit 'svelter'.
The diet program lasts for seven days (and must not be exceeded)
and, for many people, a week on a strict diet is so...

Health Castle offers "Ten signs of a fad diet":
1. It promises massive weight loss (1 - 2 lbs per week)
Dr. Barry Sears is careful when he declares a standard weight
loss on Zone diet. He considers that anything between 1 to 1,5
lbs per week is satisfactory. "It will be impossible to lose
more than one to one point five pounds of fat per week. Anything
over that is loss of retained water", says Sears himself on his
daily "Ask Dr. Sears" column at DrSears.com. FAD. 2. It does not

Diet
& Exercise Tips
Make
your New Healthy Diet a LIFE STYLE!
Stop
going on and off your diet! View it as a complete life style change. That way
you'll never yo yo diet ever again. And there will be no diet to go off of. And
remember it only takes 21 days to develop a habit. Even if you have developed a
habit of over eating or eating all the wrong foods for the last 50 years. It
only takes 21 days to change it!
Plan
the Details
Since
the first day will be the hardest, plan every detail possible the day before.
For example: outline exactly what your going to eat, where your going to be, and
what activities you have planned, for every hour of the day. Keep this outline
with you and stick to the plan 100%.
EAT!
Many
people make the mistake of thinking they have to stop eating to lose weight.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Your body is programmed to speed up
your metabolism and burn calories when you eat. The key is to eat healthier and
drink plenty of water.
Eat
Early!
When
you do eat, do it as early in the day as possible. First, eating right when you
get up gets your digestive system going. Second, your metabolism slows down as
the day goes on. You don't want food sitting in your stomach overnight.
Breakfast
Doctors
say that your metabolism doesn't really kick into gear until you eat your first
meal of the day. Make it a point to have a good nutritional breakfast to start
the day.
The
Importance of Exercise
Many
dieters mistakenly fail to include exercise as part of their diet plan. Losing
weight involves two parts: eating less and exercising more. Make sure you
properly plan exercise into your daily life and you will see fast weight-loss
results.
Gain
Muscle, Lose Fat!
Everyone
thinks of Cardio exercise when they think of losing weight, but lifting weights
should be part of your program too. Weight lifting builds muscles which makes
you look more firm and helps you burn more calories! You don't have to lift
heavy or long, just enough to start tiring out your muscles to get good results.
More
Than Weight
Don't
just use the scale to measure your success, there may be reasons you are gaining
weight and still losing fat (such as gaining muscle or retaining water)
Vitamins
Taking
a multi-vitamin can help supplement some of the nutrients your body misses, now
that your not eating as much.
Cleanup
Your Life!
Although
they appear unrelated: clean out your car, your home, your desk, etc. As you
diet, you are cleansing your body and getting healthy and right along with that
comes cleaning out your entire life. From a mental standpoint, you are
eliminating all that is dirty and impure and change your lifestyle completely.
And
Last but Not Least, Water,
Water and Water!!!
You've
heard it before and you'll hear it again. Water is the best way to keep your
metabolism going and keep your body healthy. Don't underestimate drinking water!
