Rockstar Energy Drink – Kyle Leduc ProfileWinning Tactics for Giving Up the Diet
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
You might disagree, but hear me out on this, if you’re thinking of going on a diet to lose those extra pounds think again. Long-term weight control through dieting is near impossible, for the simple reason is that diets promote only short-term solutions not long term.
After dieting you’ll certainly look lighter on the scales, but in most cases this is because you’ve dumped a few pounds of body fluid and muscle, and not because you’ve lost any significant amounts of body fat.
One of the main reasons diets don’t work is because they send the body into starvation mode – a survival mechanism for times when humans faced periods of famine. Cutting back on our energy intake causes the body to lower its metabolic rate, which reduces its ability to burn fat.
At the same time, hunger signals increase and we quickly start to crave high energy foods loaded with fats and sugars – the exact foods we are trying to do without!
Alarmingly, research has shown that repeated dieting actually makes it harder to lose weight and easier to put it on.
This is because when you dump the diet and return to normal eating habits, the drop in metabolic rate caused by the diet means that your old eating habits actually represent excess in calories.
Not only do you regain the fat stores just lost, but you may even gain a bit extra.
Five more reasons to stop dieting
* Diets sap energy – Too little food means not enough energy for
physical activity.
* Diets lower your metabolism – Dieting causes your body to
conserve energy, making results harder to achieve.
* Diets are unHealthy – A cycle of rapid weight loss followed by
weight gain can lead to a loss of lean tissue from your body
and calcium from your bones. It also strips the body of
essential
Vitamins and minerals.
* Diets make food the enemy – Food provides nourishment and
comfort. Diets can make you afraid to eat, depriving you of one
of life’s pleasures.
* Diets cheat your confidence – Going from one failed diet to the
next can leave you feeling depressed and create a cycle in
which guilt battles against food.
Regular physical activity and a healthy, balanced diet aren’t as glamorous as the quick fixes, but they do get better results.
Start with one extra exercise session and one less fatty takeaway meal per week, and gradually work towards a lifelong plan for achieving your best weight.
If you change the way you eat or exercise to lose weight, ask yourself this question. Can I see myself sticking to this routine for life?
If the answer is “no” then its time to change what you’re doing. Any healthy weight loss plan should include the following:
* A wide variety of foods.
* Regular and enjoyable exercise.
* Enough filling foods to avoid constant hunger.
* At least 1200 calories a day.
* Flexibility for treat foods and social occasions.
* A realistic goal of your best weight (not necessarily your
lowest weight.)
Fact
A realistic weight loss is around one to two pounds per week. Fast weight losses are not fat loss but glycogen and water. If you lose weight quickly then you will probable
return back to the weight at which you started as quickly as it was lost.
Fiction
* Weight loss is quick and simple.
* Exercise is not necessary.
* Certain exercises can spot reduce.
* Carbohydrates (for example, bread, potatoes, rice,
and pasta) are fattening.
Eliminate calorie-dense foods such as cookies, sugary desserts, chips, fries, pizza, candies, crackers etc.
Research on people who have successfully lost a lot of weight and kept it off long term, shows that the vast majority succeeded by consuming a low fat diet high in fibre coupled with strength training and cardiovascular activity.
These are the basics you’ll need to aim for.
A sound weight loss-eating plan should:
* Be nutritionally sound, providing all the nutrients you need.
* Never promise fast weight losses.
* Offer an eating plan based on real food.
* Allow you to eat out.
* Avoid expensive meal plans, products and supplements.
* Not avoid carbohydrate foods, e.g. bread, rice, pasta, cereals
and potatoes.
* Make gradual dietary changes.
* Provide knowledge.
* Allow you to eat all foods
* Recommend physical activity.
Fat calories are more fattening than carbohydrate calories. Your body can easily convert the fat you eat in food into body fat, so to lose weight you need to cut down on fats and foods that contain it.
Consider the following steps to reduce fat in your diet.
* Use skimmed or skimmed milk in drinks, cooking and on
cereals.
* Buy a non – stick frying pan.
* Buy a cheese slicer
* Cut the visible fat from meat.
* Eat very little pastry.
* Learn how to read a food label.
* Substitute low fat yoghurt for cream.
* Remove the skin from chicken and turkey.
* Eat fruit as snacks rather than eating chocolate and biscuits.
* Eat fewer burgers and sausages.
In conclusion the way to lose body fat and maintain muscle is to have a food program for life and more energy output. Increase the amount of fruits, vegetables, non-fat dairy products, whole grains and beans that you eat.

How to Increase your Fat and Sugar Burning to Aid Weight Loss
Saturday, July 10th, 2010
In order to carry through a successful weight reduction process, your over-weight must be attacked from several angles at the same time. Among other measures, you also have to increase your burning of fat and sugar. This burning is also of two kinds. The body are steadily burning fat and sugar and thereby producing heat, and it burns these nutrients to get energy for the daily activities you perform. The aim in a slimming process is to increase both these burning processes. In the terminology often used about slimming, this is often called “increasing your energy levels”.
A. THE FAT AND SUGAR BURNING PROCESS
The burning of fat and sugar is composed of many chemical steps. Fat is first broken apart yielding free fatty acids. The fatty acids are then broken further down to pieces called acetyl. The sugar is also broken down to acetyl in a process called glycolysis, and the energy thus released is used to produce an energy-rich compound called ATP. The acetyl formed from the braking down of fat and sugar is then further combined with oxygen yielding carbon dioxide and water, and even more ATP is produced. The ATP produced is then used to release heat and to give energy for the bodily work.
B. GET ALL THE NUTRIENTS YOU REQUIRE
The process of braking down and burning fat and sugar uses vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids as working tools. Therefore your diet has to contain all these nutrients in the needed amount. Including vegetables or fruit in a natural form in every meal will help you get these nutrients.
Even though your generally shall reduce your fat consume, some types of food containing essential fatty acids should be a part of your daily diet, for example nuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, olives, olive oil and fat fish.
Extra supplements of Vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and lecithin can also be of help.
C. PHYSICAL EXERCISE
You should do some physical exercise at least every second day. Condition training like running, swimming, cycling or ball play consumes energy and thereby helps burn fat and sugar. The burning process even continues some hours after the training session.
Weight lifting or other muscle building activities are also of value. They help convert fat in your body to muscle mass and muscles are always burning some sugar and fat, even when they are not active.
D. USE OF DRUGS OF THE AMPHETAMINE GROUP
Amphetamine and related substances stimulate the activity of the central nervous system and thereby give impulses to increased external activity that consumes fat and sugar. These compounds also increase the metabolic activities that produce heat by consume of fat and sugar. These compounds can also reduce the appetite. All these effects can together help to reduce an excessive weight.
However, these compounds also may give many unpleasant or dangerous effects, like addiction, insomnia, agitation, manic reactions, hypertension, stroke, heart valve damage and heart rhythm disturbances. Therefore amphetamine itself and many related compounds are by now banned in most societies as a means to reduce weight. Amphetamine was early banned and classified as an illegal narcotic. By now also these compounds has been banned after having been on the market for some time: aminorex, fenfluramine, phenylpropanolamine and ephedrine.
Substances of this group available on the market today as weight reduction aids are: Phentermine, Diethylpropion, phenidmetrazine, benzphetamine, sibutramine, rimonabant, oxyntomodulin and fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac).
E. USE OF CAFFEINE AND SIMILAR COMPOUNDS
Caffeine and similar compounds also increase the mental alertness, the feeling of energy and the impulses to external action, and thereby they also increase the burning of fat and sugar. They also increase the fat and sugar burning by accelerating the basic heat production metabolism.
A simple way of taking caffeine or the related compound teofylline is drinking a few cups of coffee or tea each day. A cup of coffee in the morning can and another cup in the afternoon can often give you the impulse you need to do an effective daily exercise session.
The tropical plants Yerba Mate and Guarana contain caffeine variants with a much greater effect on the fat and sugar burning than ordinary caffeine. On the market you can find sport drinks and slimming aids containing extracts of these plants.
F. SUPPLEMENTS STIMULATING THE THYROID GLAND
The hormones produced by the thyroid gland increase the basic metabolism and the burning of fat and sugar. A sluggish production of thyroid hormones can therefore contribute to developing over-weight.
Vitamins and minerals that the thyroid gland use as tools to produce its hormones can help to effectivize the thyroid hormone production, for example vitamin B1, vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, magnesium, manganese, potassium and zinc. Compounds being raw material for this production can also help the thyroid gland to effectivize its hormone production, for example L-thyrosine and iodine. These compounds are found in many supplements to aid slimming.
