I want to lose weight

I do not want sweeties

2009-03-01T09:40:00.000-08:00

"The American researchers have found out that presence of packing of sweets on a desktop represents itself a source of the raised risk of wrong food decisions.
Brian Wansick with colleagues (Kornuellsky University) placed boxes with 30th sweets in immediate proximity from a workplace of forty women-employees of University within four weeks.
Sweets settled down or in two metres from a desktop, or is direct on it in matte packing, or also on a table, but in transparent packing.
The greatest quantity of sweets (on the average 7,7 in day) has appeared eaten by participants of experiment at whom sweets in transparent packing lay on a table.
When sweets have been packed into matte boxes, среднедневное the quantity of the eaten has made 5,6 pieces. At last, when boxes have been removed on two metres from a desktop, was eaten on the average on 3,1 sweet in day."
A surprising detail: Participants essentially underestimated the estimation of the eaten sweets when those took places on a table and when sweets took places far away from a table, the quantity of the eaten sweets, on the contrary, was overestimated "(Brian Wansick). Brian Wansick has made the assumption that these supervision" could concern also fruit and vegetables though them to bring on a workplace, probably, it is slightly more difficult"

My the latest local newpaper give me this soup recipe from baked vegetables, I try it and want to share my expirience.

carrot, 1 piece
onion, 1 piece

vegetative oil, 2-3 tablespoons

as susal, salt and ground black pepper, and few bay leafes, one teaspoon of cumin or caraway (I have caraway)

Potatoes and carrot wash out, clear and cut to cubes. Paprika cut on halves, remove seeds and cut to straws. Tomatoes to cut to segments (approximately on 8 segments from one tomato).
In a frying pan warm up vegetable oil, add caraway, fry a bit until you feel the aroma and to remove from heat after. Put to pan all vegetables except onion, mix it, add salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Add a little water that keep vegetables juicy, cover with a foil and put into pre-heated oven (up to 180С), approximately for 30 minutes. This time is enough for vegetables.
Take another pan and fry fine cutted onion with vegetable oil. If your broth is not warm, heat it and add your onion into.
Serve to plates vegetables and fill it with your broth.
The soup is ready. I think if you add a bit dill (as I do it) the soup will look just great.

Products and calories

How many of calories the body consumes in a day

2008-05-24T14:31:00.000-07:00

That is very interesting information.

The number of calories the body consumes in a day is different for every person. You may notice on the nutritional labels of the foods you buy that the "percent daily values" are based on a 2,000 calorie diet -- 2,000 calories is a rough average of what people eat in a day. But your body might need more or less than 2,000. Height, weight, gender, age and activity level all affect your caloric needs. There are three main factors involved in calculating how many calories your body needs per day:
basal metabolic rate
physical activity
thermic effect of food
Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body needs to function at rest. This accounts for about 60 to 70 percent of calories burned in a day and includes the energy required to keep the heart beating, the lungs breathing, the eyelids blinking and the body temperature stabilized. In general, men have a higher BMR than women. One of the most accurate methods of estimating your basal metabolic rate is the Harris-Benedict formula:

Adult male: 66 + (6.3 x body weight in lbs.) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
Adult female: 655 + (4.3 x weight in lbs.) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)

The second factor in the equation, physical activity, consumes the next highest number of calories. Physical activity includes everything from making your bed in the morning to jogging. Walking, lifting, bending and just generally moving around burns calories, but the number of calories you burn in any given activity depends on your body weight.
The thermic effect of food is the final addition to the number of calories your body burns. This is the amount of energy your body uses to digest the food you eat -- it takes energy to break food down to its basic elements in order to be used by the body. To calculate the number of calories you expend in this process, multiply the total number of calories you eat in a day by 0.10, or 10 percent.

How many calories do I need to consume daily

2008-04-24T14:06:00.000-07:00

How to understand how many calories do I need to consume daily.
Here's the answer:

The first thing you should do is weigh yourself. Do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
The second thing you need to do is eat exactly like you normally would for a few days. Whatever and however you normally ate and drank during the course of a usual day, keep doing it like you usually would. The only difference is you will be paying attention to what you are eating and drinking. More specifically, you will be keeping track of the number of calories in everything you consume. Unless you have a really good memory, I'd suggest keeping a list of it all.
If you are eating something that has it's nutritional info on the package, be sure to take notice of how many calories are in it and write it down.
Once you've done this every day for a few days, it will be time to figure out the average amount of calories you consume in a day. So, go and look at your totals for the few days you've been counting calories, and then take the average If your goal is to lose weight, you should now start eating 500 LESS calories a day.
All you have to do after that is wait a week and then weigh yourself again (first thing in the morning on an empty stomach) and notice what your weight did.
If your weight did NOT do what you wanted it to do, then make an adjustment. If you wanted to lose and you didn't, subtract an additional 250 calories from your daily total for another week.
Then weigh yourself at the end of the week and see what happened.
The reason all of the calorie adjustments are always done is small increments is because removing too many calories too fast will have a negative effect causing you to lose much too fast. This is unsafe and unhealthy. You should be losing typically 1 or 2 pounds a week at most. Even a half of a pound counts as a change. In the beginning it is normal to lose a little more than these numbers a week. However, this shouldn't last longer than a few weeks before you reach the usual 1-2 pounds a week numbers.
So now you know how many calories to eat each day. All that's left to figure out now is where those calories should come from...

Small changes in my life

2008-04-14T11:00:00.001-07:00

In addition to making the small changes in your diet, make the small changes in your life: park further away, walk to the end of the train platform and get in the last car, and vow not to take an elevator for an entire week. I also found it advantageous to wear a pedometer and try to compete against myself for how far I could walk in a single day. The furthest I walked in a day was 6.5 miles. I voluntarily walked to work twice a week.
Excellent decision. J can do it.

Get rid of the beer!

2008-04-01T08:56:00.000-07:00

Get rid of the beer! I hear this advice often when talk about my weight loss.

However:

Beer also contains vitamin B6, which prevents the build-up of amino acid called homocysteine that has been linked to heart disease. Those of us who have high levels of homocysteine are usually more prone to an early onset of heart and vascular disease. A new study performed at the TNO Nutrition and Food Research Institute in Utrecht indicates that those who drink beer had no increase in their homocysteine level but those who drank wine or liquor had an increase of up to 10%. Also noted was the fact that those who drank beer experienced a 30% increase in vitamin B6 in their blood plasma, thereby proving that beer (in moderation) is actually healthier to drink than wine and other liquor.

What about this?

THE BAD FAT MUST GO!

2008-03-25T20:47:00.000-07:00

Once I read such advice for people wanting lose weight:

- THE BAD FAT MUST GO! Stay away from "bad" fat! Get rid of all the chips and candy. No more fast food, nothing fried. No more cookies, no more cake, no more of these saturated fats. There is no question about it and there is no way around it, get rid of these types of foods. Don't get me wrong, you should NOT be eating 0 grams of fat every day, but the only places you should be getting your daily fat intake from are lean meats (not the fried fast food kind), chicken (again, not fried!), etc. as well as the foods that contain the "healthy" types of fat, which can be found in just about every type of fish (tuna fish, salmon, fish oil supplements, etc.), nuts, olive oil and flaxseed oil.

Absolutely cannot agree with it!
Yes, fast food not great for our body. But, frankly, fried stuff is yummy!

Burn more calories then you consume

2008-03-01T09:12:00.000-08:00

Weight loss is simple, burn more calories then you consume. If you can fully understand that then you are on your way to losing weight.
- Count how many calories you eat in a normal day. That's right, wake up, and eat like you would normally eat and count the calories in everything you eat and everything you drink and keep track of it.
- At the end of that day, add up the number of calories you ate/drank. Be as exact as possible. Once you add it all up, you now have the total number of calories you consume daily. Also, weigh yourself.
- Starting the day after you counted calories, eat 500 calories LESS then you normally do. So, lets pretend that the day you counted calories you counted 2000. For the rest of the week, you would eat 1500 calories a day. Understand? All you have to do is subtract 500 from the total number of calories you consume in a normal day, and eat this new number of calories every day for the next 7 days.
- Instead of eating 3 big meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner), or eating all day all the time, spread those calories out over 5 smaller meals. Eat one meal every 2 and a half to 3 hours. Doing this will speed up your metabolism.
- Muvement. Muvement is an important part of weight loss. If you're serious about losing weight, but don't want to do the cardio workouts, then you are requiring your diet to do all of the work. Jog, walk, swim, jump rope, ride a bike, take an aerobics class, whatever... cardio + proper diet = better than just doing one of the two. All it takes is 30 minutes a day, 3 - 5 days a week.
- At the end of that week, weigh yourself. You'll notice a difference just after one week! Now, don't expect to see a 20 pound difference. Losing anymore then 1 or 2 pounds a week is unhealthly. So look for a 1 or 2 pound weight loss at the end of the week. Don't sound like much? You can lose 5-8 pounds a month!

But here is the question: how often I have to check my weight?
Weigh yourself everyday
You’ll find that almost every other dieter will tell you to weigh yourself only once a week. I recommend the exact opposite. I am very goal oriented and I like to see results everyday. The reason I recommend buying a scale that is accurate to the 0.2 is that there is a very big difference between weighting 170.8 one day and 170.0 the next day. Losing 0.8 pounds in one day is excellent. However, if your scale is not accurate enough to report the loss and still shows 170 after a day of healthy eating and working out, you will feel extremely discouraged. A more detailed scale makes it easier to keep a positive outlook. The more
successes (days with positive weight loss) the easier it is.

Dietes

All diets are made up of calories.
It's how many calories and exactly where those calories are coming from that effect your body and your weight.
The way the human body works is pretty simple. There is a certain number of calories that your body requires every day in order for it to maintain its current weight.
If your diet plan is made up of less calories than this maintenance level, you will lose weight. If it's made up of more calories, you will gain weight.
Calories are made up of 3 things. Protein, carbs, and fat.

Protein

Protein is an extremely important part of all diet plans. That's why you have most likely never heard of any low protein diets, and also why you probably HAVE heard of protein supplements. That's because your body needs protein, and lots of it. It is the building block of muscle. Protein is measured by the gram. 1 gram of protein is equal to 4 calories. So, if you are eating something that has 20 grams of protein in it, that means that whatever you are eating is at least 80 calories.

Carbs

Carbs (or "carbohydrates" ) is another of the three main elements that make up calories.
Carbs are in almost everything and therefore seem to be the hardest for people to manipulate within a diet plan. Just like protein, 1 gram of carbs is equal to 4 calories.

Fat

Unlike protein and carbs which are both 4 calories per gram, 1 gram of fat is equal to 9 calories.
This explains why high protein foods are usually low in calories, while foods high in fat are high in calories.
Fat does not make you fat. Eating too many calories makes you fat. It just so happens that a gram of fat has more calories in it than a gram of protein or carbs. However, the only thing that makes a person gain fat is when that person is eating more calories than their maintenance level, and then not burning them off through working out. Whether these excess calories in your diet plan are coming from protein, carbs or fat makes little difference.

Sometimes people on specific weight loss diet plans just try to eat less fat (or even fat free) and think that alone will work.

What they don't realize is that they are probably replacing those fat calories with calories from protein or carbs. Yes their fat intake has become lower, but their calorie intake evens back out to what it was, if not more.

Question.
Exactly how much protein, how much fat, how many carbs and how many calories should you be eating each day in your own diet plan?

Drink 8 glasses of water everyday

How eating less even if want it
I know this way:
Drink 8 glasses of water everyday
This one is obvious and broadly recommended, however, the reason I recommend it is slightly different. Drinking eight glasses of water per day helps you “feel less hungry.” I can’t prove this scientifically, however, when I am at work, I drink 4 cups in the morning and 4 cups in the evening. On the days that I don’t drink the water, I feel hungrier, earlier. Also, on the days I don’t drink water I feel sleepier, sooner. Don’t feel intimidated by trying to drink 8 glasses of water. Try doing what I do: I have a pint glass I keep at work, it holds sixteen ounces (as all pint glasses do). All I do is drink two pints of water in the morning and two in the afternoon.

And I see this way is possible for me.
