Eat More While Losing More Weight!

Did you know that you can turn on your body's own fat burning switch just by eating certain foods? It's that simple. You might be a skeptic, but there's some real science behind it. This is truly food science at its best!

When you eat simple carbohydrates, starches, and junk food, your blood glucose levels start to fluctuate wildly. This metabolic phenomenon is a dieter's worst nightmare. It seems like no matter what you do, the scale just doesn't want to budge. It's not your fault.

Even if you cut calories and exercise, you still might reach a plateau, which will abruptly stop your weight loss efforts. You need to re-program your metabolism and activate your body's own ability to burn fat.

Best Selling Author and Registered Nurse, Summer Accardo, RN, has a solution that will help you keep your blood sugar levels stable, help your body naturally detox, and keep your fat burning furnace working overtime to give you flat abs and slimmer body.

Don't think it's possible? Take the challenge. Simply follow this amazingly powerful diet by eating these delicious, nutrient-dense recipes. These foods literally annihilate fat. No Dieting Necessary! You'll lose weight FAST, never feel hungry, feel better, look younger, and you might even notice an improvement in your mood!

Many fat burning foods are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other compounds that literally turbocharge your metabolism so that lose weight almost effortlessly. These amazing foods have also been scientifically proven to relieve depression and anxiety.

It's a proven fact that people who struggle with weight issues may be at a greater risk for anxiety disorders and depression. So in addition to losing weight, you're getting the added, extra bonus of a better mood! What could be better?

Losing weight is difficult, and when you don't see results, it's frustrating. When you see the scale moving in the right direction, you get inspired to eat the right foods to lose even more weight.

What's even more frustrating is that when you're on a diet, you're always hungry. Hunger makes you unhappy and stresses you out. This raises your blood sugar levels even more, further sabotaging your weight loss efforts. With this plan, you'll never be hungry, and you'll be doing your body a whole lot of good! What have you got to lose, except a few extra, unwanted pounds!

Eating a diet rich in foods containing monounsaturated fats or MUFAs equals quick and easy weight loss, and a flat belly. By incorporating these nutrient-dense foods into your diet, you will lose weight WITHOUT having to lift a finger to exercise, or to futz around in the kitchen with complicated recipes.

MUFA foods not only help keep your cholesterol levels within normal limits, they also skyrocket your metabolism and melt away fat, especially stubborn and resistant belly fat. MUFA-rich foods, that include avocados, nuts, olives, seeds, chocolate and legumes contain fats that are plant-based. In addition, MUFA-rich foods are rich in immunity-enhancing properties that help keep your heart healthy, protect against cellular damage caused by free radicals and promote weight loss.

One of the most popular foods rich in MUFAs is olive oil, which has long been a staple in Mediterranean cooking. The most amazing benefit of MUFA is that it may help banish stubborn belly fat. Not only will eating foods high in MUFAs help you lose belly fat, it may also enhance your physical stamina and boost your immunity. MUFAs may also prevent metabolic syndrome, a condition that can increase your risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Diets high in MUFAs help improve sensitivity to insulin, while keeping blood lipid levels with normal limits. The most stunning property of MUFAs as they pertain to weight loss is their ability to speed up the metabolism.

Eating a breakfast rich in MUFAs has the potential to burn calories for up to 5 or more hours. Furthermore, MUFAs are surprisingly effective at targeting stubborn abdominal fat and dangerous visceral fat. Visceral fat is fat that is stored deep in the belly, and is more resistant to diet and exercise than subcutaneous or superficial fat.

In addition to cardiovascular disease, having an abundance of visceral fat may also raise the risk for dementia, diabetes and gynecological cancers. Furthermore, visceral fat also promotes inflammation, which is thought to be a trigger of systemic disease. Although this sounds discouraging, the MUFA diet may substantially help reduce belly fat, and more specifically, unhealthy visceral fat.

Although exercising on the MUFA diet is not necessary for weight loss, you will lose more weight if you incorporate daily exercise into your routine. Before embarking on a new diet and exercise program, always check with your health care provider to make sure you are physically able to do so safely.

To further enhance your weight loss while eating MUFA-rich foods, drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water everyday. Water not only helps rid your body of toxins, it also speeds up your metabolism and relieves water weight gain.

Portion control is still important, even when on a MUFA diet. Limiting your caloric intake to about 400 - 500 calories per meal will ensure that you do not overeat. Including just one MUFA food at each meal helps maintain normal blood sugar levels and helps keep you fuller longer.

It is also important that you eat smaller, more frequent meals, rather than eating three larger meals. This helps stave off insulin fluctuations that tell your body to store more fat. It also helps keep cravings at bay. By following these suggestions incorporating these foods and recipes into your daily meal plan, the weight will start to melt away, and you will feel more energized and fit.

Secret Weight Loss Tips Revealed

Getting rid of excess weight helps us achieve more self-esteem and better health. In our quest to find that perfect diet or weight loss tip, we find ourselves scrambling to find the holy grail of weight loss methods. Unfortunately, there are no holy grails, but there are a number of highly effective weight loss tips that are scientifically proven to work. Although portion control and exercise are the two main components of an effective weight loss program, by reading this book, you'll learn a few new strategies that will help promote even more weight loss.

2 Easy Ways To Overcome Your Weight Loss Plateau

If you lost weight successfully for the first couple weeks after you signed up with a new weight loss program and reached a plateau soon after, you're not alone. When people begin a weight loss program, they typically lose weight rather quickly, because most diet and weight loss programs are designed to provide participants with instant weight loss. Unfortunately, this instant weight loss is often only temporary weight loss.

You will typically lose weig ht very rapidly for the first couple weeks, but after that, you'll quickly find that your weight is not going down anymore! You are not losing any more than what you have already lost. You have hit the proverbial weight loss plateau! In these cases, the o nly recourse you have is to completely overhaul your lifestyle habits.

You have probably performed the exact set of exercises and ate the exact same types of foods time and time again during those first couple weeks when you were successfully losing weight. As a result of your routine, your body got acclimated to your diet and exercise regimen. When this happened, your weight loss strategies failed to generate anymore sustainable results. In light of this, if you want to get past your plateau, you need to change up your diet and exercise routine. Follow these two methods to break free from your weight loss plateau.

1. Counting calories is not typically not the way to go: When you engage in calorie counting, you limit your intake of calories to unusually low levels. When your caloric intake is too low, your body has no incentive to increase its metabolic rate because it has a few calories to burn. The result of this physiological response is that your metabolic rate remains unusually low. Therefore, when your metabolic rate has decreased, you are not able to burn fat effectively. To reverse your sluggish metabolism you need to stop counting calories and consume enough food so that your body can stoke your metabolism to a higher rate. Your body needs calories and fuel to effectively burn fat, and it can only get the fuel it needs from the foods you eat.

2. Ramp up your exercise. If you have been slacking off on your exercise routine, or avoiding it altogether, you are unable to lose weight like you should. Weight loss is enhanced by participating in high intensity daily workouts. Instead of shying away from exercise, try to embrace it. Exercise is a very powerful way of raising your metabolic rate, and by following these two simple methods, you will quickly have the slim body that you desire.

2 Reasons Why Very Low Calorie Diets Don't Work

It is quite common for people to lament about dismal results after being on very low calorie weight loss programs. After all their hard work and dedications, disappointment se ts in after they find out that they've lost only a few pounds. As a result, they become discouraged and quit the weight loss program altogether. The primary reason why very low calorie diets are ineffective is because your body is basically malnourished. Not only does this state slow down your metabolism, it also makes you so tired that you are physically unable to exercise. Always remember that calories are your friend, and not your enemy when it comes to weight loss. Don't feel as though you need to avoid calories, because they are essential in supplying your body with crucial energy and nutrition. When your caloric intake is adequate, your metabolic rate increases, resulting in automatic weight loss. You must be cognizant of which type of calories you consume, however. Bad calories which are present in junk foods do not provide you with the nutrients and energy you need to effectively stoke your metabolism, nor do they provide you with the stamina you need to maintain your exercise program. Junk food provides you only with empty calories, but fruits, vegetables, grains and lean proteins are nutritionally dense foods that help keep you healthy, while helping you lose weight.

Building muscle is essential, and in order for your muscles to maintain themselves, they need to burn a lot of calories. This means that if you have more lean muscle mass, you will lose weight faster. Eating foods rich in lean protein is an excellent way of building muscle, as is working out on a consistent basis. Another benefit of ea ting foods rich in protein is that they fill you up so that you won't be as hungry quickly, so the possibility of overeating is reduced. Conversely, when you eat only foods low in calories, you are unable to build muscle effectively. As a result, you lose muscle mass. When your body does not have enough lean muscle, you are unable to burn fat because your metabolic rate remains abnormally low. This is another reason why very low calorie diets typically don't work. While you may quickly lose water weight and muscle while on a low calorie diet, you may be fooled into thinking that you've actually lost a substantial amount of weight, when in reality, you have not lost hardly any fat. Unless fat is lost, your ability to become physically fit is diminished.

Are Carbohydrates All Bad? The Absolute Truth Revealed!

Weight loss failure is typically the result of lack of education. As a matter of fact, the lack of educations often gives rise to a number of superstitions and misconceptions. Many people feel that all carbohydrates are detrimental to weight loss, and that if they decrease their intake of carbohydrates, they will lose weight. This could not be further from the truth. There are good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates. While it is true that limiting yo ur intake of the bad carbohydrates often helps speed weight loss, consuming good carbs will provide you with much needed energy and nutrition. Carbohydrates known as bad carbs are the highly processed carbs such as chips, pasta, white bread, candies , cakes, cookies and soft drinks. While these foods are being processed, a great portion of their nutritional value is lost, leaving a lot of empty calories. If you are serious about weight loss, these simple carbohydrates should be limited or avoided. Al so, these processed foods are high in sugar and caloric content. The more sugar that you consume, the more weight you put on. Furthermore, bad carbohydrates are often low in fiber, which makes them easily converted into fat. Aside from weight gain, cons uming too many processed foods may raise the risk of diabetes because they increase your blood glucose levels.

Good carbohydrates are typically found in natural foods such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole wheat pasta, seeds, and wholegrain wheat. These foods contain carbohydrates, however, they are not the same carbs that cause weight gain. Instead, these carbs are slow carbs which typically take a longer time to digest, therefore, gaining weight isn't a concern. Good carbs are also rich sources of fiber, which keep you full for a longer period of time. In addition, they also help suppress your appetite, so you don't crave unhealthy snacks. Remember, not all carbohydrates are detrimental to your weight loss efforts. Making the right decision when comes to carbohydrate consumption may result in rapid weight loss.

4 Essential Foods To Help You Lose Weight

Did you know that you can actually lose weight by eating only certain foods? Although this may sound unbelievable, it's true. As we age our metabolic rate declines significantly. This is why those approaching middle age commonly gain weight. When your metabolic rate slows down, you don't burn as many calories as you did when you were younger. Eating these certain foods helps boost your metabolic rate , which will quickly promote weight loss.

1. Green tea: Green tea helps hasten weight loss because it contains special fat burning chemicals. Many commercial weight loss supplements contain green tea as their common ingredient!

2. Almonds: Almonds contain good fats that provide your body with important nutrients such as fatty acids and proteins, which help stoke your metabolism, while burning fat. Almonds are also rich in magnesium, a mineral that is vital to cardiovascular health.

3. Peanut butter is an excellent replacement for ordinary butter, and is rich in fiber and protein. Furthermore, peanut butter helps you burn fat because it promotes the building of lean muscle mass, while the fiber content helps suppress your appetite for extended periods of time. Pairing peanut butter with whole grain bread makes a healthy, fat-fighting snack.

4. Beans are wonderful appetite suppressants because they help keep your stomach full. Like peanut butter, beans are high in fiber and protein, and they help raise your metabolism so that you lose weight more effectively.

How to Lose Weight Even When Eating Restaurant Food

Eating in restaurants is a challenge for anyone who is trying to lose weight. There are a number of things you can do to make it easier to follow your diet when you go out to eat. These include visiting vegetarian restaurants, and ordering your salad dressing on the side. Although these two things sound simple, they can have a big impact on your weight loss efforts. Most vegetarian restaurants take care to ensure that their foods are prepared in a healthy manner, void of saturated fat, cholesterol and and sugars. Staying away from buffets will also help you avoid temptation, as will being mindful of portion control. You don't have to deprive yourse lf of your favorite foods, as long as you practice portion control. If you do find yourself at a restaurant buffet, steer clear of fatty foods, and instead, opt for healthier alternatives such as raw vegetables, fruits and lean proteins such as turkey breast, chicken or fish.

3 Simple and Powerful Techniques to Help You Achieve Your Weight Loss Goals

1. Set reasonable goals. Many people cannot achieve their weight loss goals because they are unreasonable. Although there is nothing wrong in setting your sites on large goals, don't make them so large so that they become intimidating or overwhelming. Start slow, and you'll soon see how simple it is to get rid of those extra, stubborn pounds. Also, keep in mind that changes don't occur overnight, so be patient, and you're weight will come off. Instead of trying to give up your favorite junk foods all at once, cut down gradually, while replacing one type of junk food with a healthy food. For example, if you like butter, try replacing it with natural peanut butter. The following day, try replacing a hamburger with raw vegetables! Also, consider replacing white bread with whole grain wheat bread. Although you may not be able to accomplish all of these changes overnight, you will achieve your goals when you do it slowly, little by little. Eventually you will come to realize that you have replaced the bad foods in your diet with healthier choices without sacrificing flavor or being overly hungry.

2. Replace your bad habits with healthy habits. Remember that you gained your extra weight because of not-so-healthy habits. Breaking old habits is difficult, but instead of depriving yourself of your afternoon snack, simply try to replace it with a healthier choice. For example, if you are used to eating sweets or high-fat junk food in the afternoon, replace them with fruit and low-fat yogurt. You'll find that these choices can be just as satisfying, and when the weight starts to come off, you'll feel as though you accomplished something.

3. Eliminate temptation. Unless you teach yourself how to control your temptation, you will not have the ability to successfully lose weight. When you are tempted to overeat, do something to distract you from thinking about food. Any activity such as walking, dancing, drinking water or spending time with your pet will help keep you occupied so that you resist the thought of unhealthy food cravings.

2 Easy Ways To Motivate Yourself To Get Rid of Belly Fat

Weight loss is all about modifying your everyday lifestyle habits to a considerable extent. What many do not realize is that this cannot be done overnight! If you attempt to make significant changes in your lifestyle in a short period of time, chances are that you will only be disappointed and frustrated with your weight loss efforts. Also, there is must more to weight loss than just diet and exercise.

1. Stop self-sabotaging thoughts. Self-sabotaging thoughts cause harm and will thwart your weight loss efforts. Negative thoughts sabotage your efforts ach ieve your weight loss goals. If you think that you cannot do a certain exercise such as a push-up, you're jumping to conclusions even before you have tried to do them. If you feel that vigorous exercise is too overwhelming, start small and do not over-exert yourself. Build up slowly, and don't forget to check with your health care provider before embarking on a new exercise program.When you start small, you realize that it becomes easier to reach your weight loss goals. Also, instead of over-thinking about how you're going to muster up the strength to exercise, simply take action and get started. The amount of time that you spend on pondering how much you dislike exercise, and how you won't be able to achieve your goals, you might as well just spend it on exercising. While thinking about your disdain for exercise will result in no results, taking action by exercising will help you burn fat and lose weight.

2. Seek support. A strong support system is important in order to keep you motivated and determined to lose weight. Without it, your weight loss efforts may suffer. Enlist the support of family and friends who understand your goals, and who care about your well-being. If you do not have friends or family who can provide support during your weight loss efforts, join a weight loss support group through a local hospital, or sign up for an online weight loss or dieting forum. Support groups and forums help members acquire tips and information from experts and peers alike. By surrounding yourself with supportive individuals and steering clear or negative people, your weigh loss efforts will thrive. Remember, there is nothing you can't do when you set your mind to it.

Losing Weight The Right Way

1. Stave-off hunger. Getting rid of hunger is the first thing you need to do before you can effectively lose weight. If you are constantly hungry, you will always be looking for something to eat, and your weight loss efforts will be ruined. By eating foods that keep you fuller for longer periods of time, you keep hunger at bay. Fiber rich foods such as legumes, lentils, apples, nuts and peas are great choices that not only help suppress your appetite, but also help keep your gastrointestinal system healthy.

2. Drink plenty of water. Did you know that you can lose as much as 10 extra pounds by drinking plenty of water? When you don't consume enough water, your body perceives this as a threat, and holds on to every last drop of the water that your body stores. This will result in excess water weight gain, but if your body will release this excess water if it knows that there is enough water being consumed. To ensure that that your body doesn't hold on to extra water, drink at least eight glasses of water every day. Water also helps speed up your metabolism, which also helps in y our weight loss efforts, while burning fat. It also helps detoxify your body, so that when you body gets rid of excess toxins, you not only lose extra pounds, you also start feeling better. As soon as your body gets adequate amounts of water on a regular basis, it will then stop holding on to the water and start flushing out excess stored water.

3. Do ten minutes of exercise a day. You don't need to exercise for an hour everyday. Every little bit helps, and exercising in short spurts may have tremendous health benefits. Exercising for only ten minutes a day will help increase your metabolic rate and burn fat. Remember to start out slowly, and gradually build up day after day. Exercising doesn't have to be your traditional running, riding a bike or walking on the treadmill. Doing simple household chores such as vacuuming, mopping the floor and gardening also counts as exercising. Walking your dog is also an excellent way of getting some exercise, while enjoying the fresh air. Before you know it, you've lost a few pounds, almost effortlessly. Losing weight doesn't have to difficult or challenging. By simply including a few lifestyle modifications into your daily routine, you'll see how easy it is to shed your extra pounds.

Super Foods to Help You with Quick Weight Loss

Including three foods into your daily meal plan can help you lose weight. Does this sound too good to be true? It's not, and I'll prove it to you!

1. Berries such as blueberries, blackberries and strawberries are nutritionally dense fruits that suppress your appetite. They are also high in water content, and they taste good too. Eating these berries will help stave off unhealthy cravings for junk food, and provide you with a rich source vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

2. Lean meats such as chicken and turkey are excellent weigh loss foods because they are excellent sources of protein, and have little fat. Protein builds lean muscle, and lean muscle helps you burn fat by increasing your metabolic rate.

3. Including fish into your diet is also good for permanent weight loss. Fatty fish such as tuna and salmon are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, or otherwise known as good fats. Weight gain is often the result of a hormone known as leptin, which has the potential to store fat in your body. Omega-3 fatty acids help cut on on levels of leptin, helping you to lose weight. They also help raise serotonin levels in your brain. When you have low levels of serotonin, you may be more likely to experience depression, which then leads to over eating. When your serotonin levels are where they should be, your mood becomes brighter, and you're more motivated to lose weight.

4. Olive oil contains unsaturated fats which suppress your appetite, keep you fuller longer, and helps reduce cholesterol levels. It is also very heart healthy and might reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.

You don't have to starve in order to lose weight. Eating the right foods helps you lose weight and helps you keep it off in the long-term. Eating healthy foods also helps promote a better mood and attitude, which is very important while your trying to lose weight. Other foods such as almonds, eggs, nuts and oatmeal are also excellent food choices which also help you get rid of stubborn belly fat.

Are Your Medications Sabotaging Your Weight Loss?

Did you ever wonder why you can't seem to lose weight despite your best efforts? If you are following your diet, and exercising everyday, and you still can't lose weight, look in your medicine cabinet. Certain medications make it difficult to lose weight, either by slowing your metabolic rate, or causing you to retain fluid. A major complaint by those taking beta blockers, medications used in the treatment of high blood pressure and abnormal heart rhythms, is that they cause exercise intolerance. Beta blockers also slow down your metabolism, so that even though you eat the right foods and don't over eat, weight loss is sluggish. They also cause fatigue, so when you make an attempt to exercise, you are often to tired to continue. Antihistamines, medications used to treat allergies also can sabotage your weight loss efforts, as can anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications. If you feel that your medications are standing in your way of losing weight, talk to your doctor, who may be able to decrease your dose, or prescribe a new medication altogether. Never, however, stop taking your medications simply because they are slowing down your weight loss. This is especially true when taking cardiac or anti-anxiety medications. Abruptly stopping these medications without gradually tapering off may result in a dangerous abnormal heart rhythm, or even seizures.

Prior to starting a new diet and exercise program, it is always prudent to get a physical examination to ensure your good health before you make any lifestyle changes. When you shed those extra pounds, you will not only feel better physically, your mood will improve as well.

Bonus Book - 40 Weight Loss Tips To Burn Fat Fast

Our ancestors rarely had the need to lose weight. Although they ate very well, their hard physical work stoked their metabolisms to become lean, mean fat burning machines. They rose very early, and toiled all day, planting, harvesting and farming. Over-eating was hardly an issue, as whatever they ate was quickly turned into fat burning fuel. A lot has changed since the days of our ancestors, and with the revolution of the industrial age, the level of our physical activity has plummeted. Gaining weight and the obesity epidemic can be linked to our sedentary lifestyles and our jobs that typically mandate little exercise. After working 8 hours, most of us are too tired to visit the gym to work-out, and end up neglecting our needs for exercise.

One of the most important components of a healthy diet is to avoid temptation. Unless you learn how to effectively control your temptation, you will be unable to successfully lose weight. When you are tempted to over indulge, try and distract yourself from thinking about food. Activities such as taking a walk, dancing, spending time with family, friends or a beloved pet, or even reading a good book, will help keep you distracted so that you can better resist your food cravings. When your cravings become too much for you to ignore, drink water. The water will fill you up just enough for you to think twice about eating that extra piece of cake.

Another important part of a successful weight loss program is to have a support system to encourage you along. A strong support system is very important if you want to stay motivated and determined to stick with your weight loss program. Without a support system, you may get discouraged and give up. Enlist the support of friends and family who understand your weight loss goals, and who care about your health. If you don't have family or friends who can give you support while you are trying to lose weight, join an online or offline support group. Support groups and online forums help their members by providing them with motivational tips and weight loss information from peers and experts alike. When you surround yourself with people who are supportive of you, and avoid negative people, you will thrive in your efforts to lose weight. Remember, there is absolutely nothing that you cannot accomplish when you put your mind to it.

As we get older, our metabolism s begin to slow down, so even though we haven't drastically changed our eating habits since we were younger, our bodies don't burn fat as efficiently as they once did. It is for this reason that I wanted to share with you my 40 tips for burning fat. These small, but powerful dietary and lifestyle changes will have an enormous impact on the way your body burns fat, which is promote fast, safe weight loss. You will be surprised at the huge impact these tips have on your weight. Although the two biggest factors in weight loss are, of course, decreasing your caloric intake and increasing your physical activity, there are a number of other things you can do to dramatically quicken the process.

1. Stay Well Hydrated. Drinking plenty of water everyday not only keeps our bodies hydrated so that it can effectively keep our cardiovascular, digestive, circulatory, urinary and respiratory systems working effectively, it also stokes our metabolism so that you burn fat faster and lose pounds. Water also helps your kidney s flush out harmful toxins, and it helps keep you full so that you don't overeat. Drinking enough water also gets rid of belly bloat and excess fluid retention. The more water you drink, the more weight you lose. It's that simple.

2. Begin every day with a full glass of water. Do this, as soon after getting up as you can. Drinking a glass of water when you awaken in the morning gets your metabolism fired up and promotes digestion. This is especially important if you're not a breakfast eater. Although breakfast is the most important meal of the day, many people do not have an appetite in the morning. When you avoid breakfast, your metabolism doesn't have the fuel it needs to burn fat, so giving your body even a glass of cold water will get your metabolism moving in the right direction to help speed weight loss.

3. Drink a full glass of cool water prior to the beginning of each meal. Drinking a glass of water before each meal will help ensure that you don't overeat, because you'll feel full. .

4. Drink an additional glass of cool water during your meal. This further helps you feel full so that you can push away from the table without having overindulged. Don't gulp you water during your meal. Doing so may contribute to gastrointestinal distress and swallowed air. Instead, take small sips of water after each bite of food. Doing so further enhances the feelings of fullness so that you don't overeat.

Water plays such an important role in each system of our body, so it is for that reason that I included it in the first 4 tips of this book. It makes everything work better, and there is no better tool to use in your quest for weight loss than water. It's that important.

5. Avoid sweetened drinks because they are loaded with calorie-laden sugar. If you enjoy a carbonated beverage with a meal, or for a snack, consider drinking a sugar-free version. Soda and other sweet drinks are typically low in nutritional value, and do little to promote a feeling of satisfying fullness. At best, they will provide you with an uncomfortable feeling of bloating, which will hinder effective digestion.

6. Eat water dense foods like watermelon (when in season) and tomatoes. These foods contain almost all water, are low in calories, are nutritionally dense and help promote a feeling of fullness. They also promote efficient digestion and elimination, which is necessary to keep you weight loss efforts on schedule.

7. Eat fresh produce instead of drinking high calorie, sweetened fruit juice. Although fruit juice does have some nutritional value, they are highly sweetened with sugar. While fresh fruit also contains sugar, it is natural sugar. Fresh fruits are also high in fiber and a great source of vitamins and minerals.

8. Make your own juice. If your craving for a glass of fruit juice is simply too much for you to ignore, then instead of drinking store-bought fruit juice, make your own. This way, you'll be getting the same great taste, (albeit less sweet) and you'll also be reaping the benefits of fiber, vitamins and minerals. To make your own healthy fruit juice, simply add fruit such as strawberries or peeled and seeded oranges, with 1 cup of water and some ice in a juicer or blender, and blend well.

9. Opt for fresh fruit instead of commercially processed fruit. These types of fruits often contain sugary syrups and artificial sweeteners. Fresh fruit is also higher in fiber than their processed counterparts.

10. Eat more fiber. When you include more fiber into your daily diet, you will feel fuller and lose weight faster. When you feel full as a result of eating healthy fiber-rich foods, you are less likely to eat unhealthy fat and sugar-laden foods which sabotage your weight loss efforts. Fiber also helps your body rid itself of toxins, while keeping your digestive system on the tract. It also helps promote a flat belly and enhances immune function.

11. Don't skimp on fresh vegetables. Vegetables are the best foods you can eat when it comes to rapid weight loss. There are so many delicious and nutritious vegetables to choose from, so you'll never tire of eating the same ones over and over. Leafy green vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, and they also have a mild diuretic effect. Cabbage is especially beneficial to weight loss, and by incorporating it into your daily meal plans, you will be helping your body burn fat more effectively.

12. Add fresh lemon juice to your water. Fresh lemon juice can make the bland taste of water more palatable. The more you enjoy the flavor, the more you will drink. Lemon juice is also a mild diuretic, which will help your body get rid of extra toxins and fluids.

13. Think about every bite of food that you take in. Sometimes, especially when we're cooking, we sample everything to make sure it doesn't need an extra pinch of this or a dash of that. Subsequently, by the time we've prepared our meal, we have consumed an entire days worth of calories! When you think about every single thing that you eat, you become more mindful of the calories that you consume. If you stop and think about popping a handful of nuts into your mouth, you just might avoid a couple hundred calories. Remember, a calorie here, and a calorie there, adds up to pounds on your body.

14. Don't Deprive Yourself Of Sweets. Eat sweet treats only in moderation, and remember to never deprive yourself. You can have that piece of candy or cake, but make it the exception, rather than a rule.

15. Keep consistent meal times. Eat at the same time every day. Although you can eat 30 minutes before or after your schedule d time, deviating too much may result in a blunted appetite, or extreme hunger which may result in over indulging. Don't forget, when you over eat, your body has to work extra hard to burn off the calories, resulting in sluggish weight loss.

16. Only eat when you're hungry. Many of us tend to eat whenever we're bored, or see food. We sometimes use social events as excuses to over indulge in rich foods. It is important to understand the consequences of cancelling out an entire week of dieting by only one day's worth of party food. You don't have to deprive yourself when you attend a social gathering or party, nor do you have to decline offers of food. Simply maintain moderation and know when to stop eating and drinking high caloric beverages.

17. Monitor your snacks. Although it is certain acceptable to supplement your meals with healthy snacks, the type of snacks that you choose can make or break your diet. Make sure you read labels on healthy packaged snacks, because although they may be nutritionally dense, they may also be very high in calories. Fresh fruits and raw vegetables make excellent snacks, are packed with vitamins and minerals, and are great sources of healthy fiber.

18. Review your medications. Certain medications can hinder you weight loss efforts, or even promote weight gain. Medications such as antihistamines, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications and medications known as beta blockers can all cause weight gain. Never, however, stop your medications without talking to your doctor. Once you have stopped taking the medication, you'll start losing weight again.

19. Get a check-up. Like certain medications, certain medical conditions can cause you to gain weight or make it difficult for you to lose weight. Hypothyroidism can cause significant weight gain or inability to lose weight because it can cause your metabolism to slow down. In addition to weight gain and the inability to effectively lose weight, hypothyroidism can cause a slow hear rate, constipation, hoarseness, puffy eyelids and cold intolerance. If you have these symptoms, talk to your doctor about getting a simple thyroid panel blood test. If your doctor determines that you have a low functioning thyroid, he can prescribe thyroid hormone replacement, which should resolve your symptoms.

20. Drink green tea. When you drink green tea, you promote weight because it contains various fat burning compounds. In fact, many weight loss products and supplements contain green teas and extracts as their active ingredients because they are so effective in helping you to lose weight.

21. Eat more almonds. Nuts such as almonds are rich in good fats which provide the body with protein and fatty acids. These nutrients help speed up your metabolism and burn fat more efficiently. Almonds are also an excellent source of magnesium which is beneficial to your heart.

22. Fill up on beans. Beans can suppress your appetite so that you don't fill up on unhealthy foods. They are also great sources of fiber and protein, which like nuts, help rev up your metabolism so that you lose weight faster.

23. Enjoy more peanut butter. Peanut butter is high in protein and fiber, and is a great replacement for regular butter. It also helps the body burn fat, while promoting the development of lean muscle. Because peanut butter is so rich in fiber, it makes for an excellent appetite suppressant and helps keeps you full for hours. When you combine peanut butter with healthy whole grain bread, you have a delicious, fat burning snack.

24. Enjoy your coffee. In moderation, coffee many be good for you because it is loaded with disease-fighting anti-oxidants. Since caffeine is a stimulant, it helps rev up metabolic function, and is a mild diuretic which can help your body get rid of excess water weight gain. Drinking too much, however, can result in dehydration, palpitations, anxiety and insomnia.

25. Avoid fried foods at all costs. Fried foods are typically laden with fat or oil, and even if the excess fat or oil is drained, the food still absorbs a substantial amount. The more you avoid fried, greasy foods, the more weight you will lose.

26. Never, ever, skip meals. Skipping meals while trying to lose weight is one of the worst things you can do. You need a steady supply of food, which acts like fuel, to keep your metabolism running the way it should. Depriving your body of healthy foods does nothing but delay weight loss and make you irritable. When you become irritable because of hunger, you are more likely to overeat, and when you do eat, you are more likely to eat unhealthy foods.

27. Eat fresh, raw vegetables instead of canned or cooked vegetables. Cooking strips away many of the nutrients in them, and canned vegetables contain a great deal of sodium. Sodium holds on to fluid, which translates into bloating and extra water weight gain. Fresh vegetables taste better as well, making your eating experience more pleasurable.

28. Consume more berries. Incorporate strawberries, blueberries and blackberries into your daily meal plans. Berries are very nutritionally dense, and they also help to suppress your appetite. They also contain a high water content, which helps promote a healthy urinary system, and they are loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. When you eat more berries, cravings for unhealthy foods diminish as well.

29. Add more lean meats into your diet. Eating lean meats such as turkey and chicken helps promote weight loss because they are rich in fat-burning protein. Lean sources of protein help your body burn fat, while building lean muscle. Lean meats are also low in fat, and can be used as a main course or added to side dishes.

30. Start enjoying fish. Eating fish can lead to permanent weight loss. Tuna and salmon are types of fatty fish that are high in omega 3-fatty acids. When you consume foods that are rich in omega 3-faty acids, your body is able to decrease levels of leptin, a hormone that is known to store fat in the body. Omega 3-fatty acids also help enhance levels of serotonin in your brain. Low levels of serotonin are associated with depression, which can subsequently lead to over eating. As serotinin levels rise, your mood becomes better, you have more energy, and you are more likely to stick to your healthy eating habits and weight loss plan.

31. Eat more apples. apples are rich sources of pectin that keeps your cells from fat absorption. Pectin also enhances water absorption from the foods that you eat and helps rid your body of fat deposits. Apples also have the ability to reduce belly fat, which is often very resistant to diet and exercise. Apples are excellent sources of healthy soluble fiber, which helps control your appetite.

32. Chew sugarless gum. Food cravings sometimes become less intense when we chew gum. The sweet flavor of the gum also helps blunt your desire for sweet snacks. Sugarless gum has no calories, and it can also help rid your mouth from oral bacteria that can contribute to gum disease.

33. Brush your teeth. The next time you are tempted to over eat, brush your teeth. After brushing your teeth, you will think twice about snaking because you won't want to diminish the clean feeling that you get after brushing, and because the taste of the toothpaste often blunts the appetite.

34. Eat a big breakfast. Studies have shown that those who consume most of their daily calories for breakfast lose the most weight. When you consume the majority of your calories early in the day, you have all the more time to burn them off. Eating a bigger breakfast also helps ensure that you won't over eat for lunch or dinner.

35. Cook with olive oil. Olive oil helps suppress your appetite, while helping keep you fuller longer. Although olive oil relatively high in calories, it is a healthy oil that may help reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.

36. Increase your oatmeal consumption. Oatmeal contains soluable fiber, which not only helps control your appetite, but it also helps regulate your blood sugar. Fluctuating blood sugar levels may increase your appetite and craving for carbohydrates, sabotaging your diet. Oatmeal may also help lower your risk of cardiovascular disease and lower your serum cholesterol levels. Eat your oatmeal with berries or apples for an extra measure of fat-burning power.

37. Include onions in your meals. Onions are very low in calories and are a good source of chromium. Chromium may help your body maintain optimal blood sugar levels which help reduce the risk of blood sugar crashes. When your blood sugar crashes, you become very hungry and are more likely to deviated from your health eating plan.

38. Cook with hot peppers. Hot peppers help to increase your metabolic rate, trigger your body to effectively burn calories.

39. Cook with coconut oil. Coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids, which help speed up your metabolism, enhance thyroid regulation and promotes fat burning.

40. Go for a stroll. You don't have to over exert yourself by doing strenuous exercises in order to lose weight. Simply going for a leisurely stroll after dinner will help rev up your metabolism, so that over time, you'll lose weight. Before starting a new exercise or walking program, check with your health care provider to make sure that it's safe for you to do so.

Before you begin a new diet and exercise program, visit your health care provider for a physical examination to make sure that you are healthy enough to withstand a new lifestyle routine.

Healing Juices: Healing Juice Recipes For Weight Loss And To Reverse Free Radical Damage

Every single cell in the human body needs oxygen in order to produce energy. When oxygen is burned, the formation of free radicals occurs as a common by-product. Free radicals are molecules that are missing electrons, and therefore, are unstable.

In an attempt to become whole, free radicals try grabbing and attacking portions from normal molecules. This process can cause damage to cells, DNA, and tissue. Once free
