One of the most effective ways to lose a few pounds is to watch what you eat, but as most people today are on a busy schedule  unhealthy eating habits can become pretty common. Fortunately there are a few things we can do in order to keep and help the body maintain its natural metabolism high through certain foods and daily activities. You don’t have to spend lots of money on expensive supplements or pills. Here’s some ideas you can try out.

Drink Green Tea – Green tea is one of the most traditional type of teas, it is very easy to prepare and it taste really great as a beverage. Green tea has been used through out its history for over 4000 years as a medicine, scientific studies have shown that when consumed , the body gets more anti-oxidants and boosting the body’s immune system and metabolism. People who consumes green tea regularly are less likely to accumulate fat in their bodies, as the body will burn more energy through their natural metabolism.

Drinking lots of water – Drinking enough water is one of the most vital to maintain a healthy body and your metabolism. The body needs water to metabolize fat. Many people today do not hydrate themselves properly, therefore the body is unable to function or burn fat effectively. Try to avoid sugary or caffeinated drinks as they will pull water out of your system faster then you could put in. Sugar infested sodas puts a lot of carbohydrates into the body, a can of coke contains at least 14 teaspoons of sugar. What the body cannot burn it will store, this is how the body works. To lose fat on your waist, drink plain water, if not go for mineral water. It’s good for ya!

Lots of Physical Exercise – when it comes to exercise, people tend to think that it is hard work and it makes you sweat. As our modern day technologies get more and more sophisticated, we tend to get a little carried away and not want to move our bodies. When you have more physical activities it’s a natural thing that the body uses more energy and burns more fat. Therefore to have a good way to keeping a healthy lifestyle, exercise is non- negotiable! Go for a walk, a jog or go to the gym, with the increase of physical activities you will not only feel great, lose that extra pound on your waist but also make your body stronger and less prone to diseases and pain.

Make Life Exciting! – I know when it comes to working out, people tend to go on and off… Don’t do it because you think you have to, do it because you can make it exciting. If you go to the gym, go with a friend, your spouse or your family, track each other’s progress and do something different each week. Perhaps go for jogging at the weekends, go for swimming, or muscle training at the gym. Any activities can be fun as long as you don’t drag yourself to do it. Find a partner and have some fun!

Stay healthy, Stay Happy!

Question: Why Do We Gain Weight?

Credits to FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Weight gain might be a common issue for today’s people as stress levels are high, lifestyle habits and the food that we eat are all contributors to gaining extra weight around your waist. But of course you also want to know what  is the real cause of weight gain to know what are the things to target and and foods you need to eliminate from your diet.

1. Irregular Eating Habits

The body works in a rhythm throughout the day through our  activities. At certain hours the body becomes less active and requires to burn less calories, usually during the night. Consumption of high calorie food during these times can induce the body to store excess energy into fat cells and therefore it accumulates over time.

PS. You can use the RMR Calculator to calculate your daily required consumption of calories. See: Forever Body Transformation Review -Product Walkthrough

2. Lack Of Quality Sleep

The Body needs rest in order to repair body cells and muscles. Lack of sleep puts the body into resting mode and therefore lowers your metabolism and burns less energy. To efficiently burn more energy and fats, you’ll need at least 7 hours of Un-interripted sleep each day.

3. Hydration Of The Body

People today consumes more caffeinated, sugary drinks and alcohol, they take water out of your system and you’ll get dehydrated very quickly. Your body needs water to metabolize fats into energy, without good hydration, the body cannot function properly. Drink at least 2 liters of water each day to stay hydrated and feel great.

4. Vital Nutrition, Vitamins and Minerals

I have seen people who are trying to lose weight by fasting and some of them are pretty extreme. Starvation is not the key to weight loss and it definitely won’t help you stay healthy either. By fasting for a long time, your body cells are put into a so called “Starvation Mode” and when you start eating, your body will try to store what ever energy they can get from the food and therefore it can sometimes induce more weight gain then you really should. A Healthy Eating habit that replaces vital nutrients, vitamins and minerals to the body and cutting down on “Calories” is the right way to go.

5. Sugar is Your Enemy

A lot of times you’ll hear, sugar is bad and it really is when you consume a lot of it. An average American consumes 22 teaspoons of sugar every day. If you can imagine what 22 teaspoons of sugar looks like, it’s probably make you sick. Studies have shown that excessive consumption of sugar is the key to many illness and diseases known today, one of them “Heart Disease”.

6. Your Stress Level (Stress Can Lower Your Metabolism Rate)

It is human nature that we will want to find comfort when we feel stressed or depressed, and often we look for comfort foods to make us feel happy again. Due to the fact that our bodies works rather differently then to our feelings, you may sometimes experience a sudden spike in weight gain.

7. Excessive Consumption of Alcoholic Drinks

Alcoholic drinks are packed full of calories and you can easily overshoot your daily calorie consumption along with food.

8. Poorly Conditioned Muscles

Muscles burn fat and they need to metabolize fat to get energy, when you strengthen up your lean muscles you burn fats more efficiently. Due to our modern day activities we spend most of our time in the office and there is very little muscle activity involved, this in time lead to poorly conditioned muscles and over time fat takes over. Muscles have more mass then fat, therefore if you build up your muscles, fat burning is much quicker.

9. Metabolism As We Age

As we age, our body’s metabolism slows down naturally and it requires less carbohydrates and a protein rich diet is often recommended. Carbohydrates can be easily stored in fat cells, so in order moderate your consumption of carbohydrates you can replace it with protein rich foods such as beans, eggs and whole grains.

10. Medication and Drugs

I am not an expert in medication and drugs, but I do know what certain medication and drug use can cause weight gain. Many medication today are used as a form of suppressant which can cause your hormones to go crazy and cause the body to react differently to proteins and nutrients. It is advisable to consult your doctor before the use of any medication or drugs.

Most of us gain weight through food. The foods that we eat today contains a lot of fats and sugars, most of that energy that the body cannot burn, it is stored in our bodies as fats. As we know that fat cells are not like any other normal cells in the body, fat cells bloats up very quickly to store energy and fat. Therefore with in-adequate eating habits many people who tries to trim off extra pounds on their body fail because they are putting in more energy then they spend on their daily activities.

Researchers and Nutritionist say that 80% of your weight loss plan comes from your food and that is totally true. We need to know how much calories we are putting into our body each day and by using up excess energy by doing specific body movements that targets fat accumulating areas.

For Men, the most common area that stores fat is the tummy area, while most men never have the chance to have six pack abs is due to in-proper conditioning of their core muscles at the abdominal area. In fact with a few mins a day of proper admonition exercise anyone can have ripped six pack abs. In order to make this possible, the right eating habits must be a part of your daily routine. To Build up strong muscles men need to take more protein and reduce intake of carbohydrates.

For Women, fats tends to cling on to the waist, especially the butt and thigh areas. Due to the fact that women has less muscle mass then men, eating right is vitally important to keep the body in shape. A proper and regular exercise routine will help you to burn off the excess fats easily, with proper diet the effectiveness doubles. The key to conditioning both your body’s metabolism as well as your muscles will induces maximum burning of energy and thus reducing the ugly fats in the body.

In order to maintain a healthy body and having regular exercise routines you can take the following steps:

Step 1: Calculate your RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) – This helps you understand how much calories you need to take each day in order to keep the body healthy. It also helps you to identify what foods you should avoid by reading the labels, most foods today are pack with carbs, so knowing how much calories you need according to your BMI (Body Mass Index) will help you make out a proper food plan.

Step 2: Create a Meal Plan – Creating a proper meal plan is not just about healthy eating, the foods you eat can sometimes help you burn fat more efficiently. Certain fruits and vegetables also contains chemicals that helps digestions and raising your body’s metabolism.

Step 3: Regularly exercise with body movements that targets fat accumulating areas. One of the misconceptions about exercising is that people think they have to do a lot of it in order to lose fat, it really isn’t so. In fact you should do only to your own maximum so that the body can rest and recover. While recovering the body continues to burn energy and fats, so having a proper exercise routine is very important.

Sugar is one of the things we cannot avoid, it’s in almost every thing you eat today. From sugary drinks, coffee, to processed foods, bread and pastry. It is the one ingredient that we can’t go without in most of our cooking. But recent studies have found that sugar can be toxic to the human body when consumption in high dosage. An average person consumes 14 teaspoons or more sugar per day and that makes it quite a high dosage and it could be potentially hazardous to health.

So How High is High Then? The following video is a revelation.

The American Heart Association recommends up to 100 calories (25 grams) per day of added sugar for women and only slightly more for men – 150 calories (about 38 grams).

To put it into context: one 20floz bottle of Coca Cola contains 65g of sugar and 240 calories.

One Blueberry Crumb Donut from Dunkin’ Donuts contains 52g of sugars and 500 calories and one serving of Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream has 25g of sugar and 260 calories.

However, experts warned against concentrating fears on just one part of our diets.

 ’It’s important to highlight that we get ourselves into trouble whenever we focus on one dietary attribute exclusively and ignore all the rest,  nutrition scientist Dr. David Katz, told MSCN Today.

“It’s not sugar that’s the poison, but the dose that makes the poison,” he added.
