Keeping Track of Your Diet- That`s the Secret!

June 02, 2010 By: Heiley G. Category: Diet Secrets, Weight watcher`s lifestyle

daily_calorie_intakeSome say good things don’t come easy especially dieting or reaching sertain weight lose goals.  Reduce your calorie intake and increase your activity level is a strategy that’s always successful. But you need to know your specific calorie requirements and keep a record of your daily food intake to make it work. For someone like myself, keeping a daily track of my calorie intake is a hassle. Yes, it maybe hard, however, like said before is extremely important!
First, I record all of my food consumption and activity on a daily basis . I keep a simple daily food log by searching for database that gives caloric information for different foods I eat, and write down all exercises or activities I go throughout the day in order to help myself keep track of my calorie intake and expenditure. Then, I determine my net caloric intake, every day, using the following equation:

Net caloric intake = (calories consumed) – (calories expended)

I`m doing everything is my ability and strive to keep my net calorie intake within 50 calories of my daily caloric intake for weight loss.  On a weekly basis, reevaluate I daily caloric intake for weight loss until I reach my optimal weight.

The Healthy Bacteria Diet Secret:

healthy_bacteria_for_diet

Dieting has never been an easy thing for me especially since loosing weight comes slow even when I`m really trying to keep a healthy, light lifestyle routine AND exercise at least 4 times a week… Apparently, there could be a hidden factor in weight control such as: Bacteria. Everyone has bacteria in their digestive system, but if you’re overweight, it may be because the blend of those bugs is causing you to absorb more calories from the food you eat!
Adding healthy bacteria and “Getting more pro-biotics in your diet can change the balance of bacteria,” says Steven Pratt, M.D., author of SuperHealth, and that can lead to more efficient weight loss! Eat more Yogurt which contain probiotics, such as acidophilus and take control of your weight-loss like I did… (and yes, it worked..)

I used to think the best diet food is low fat and calories reduced. However, its not always true! The best diet food that is healthy, can fight disease and will slim you down is: Nuts! Nuts are fatty, but they keep you full, plus the extra protein they contain will revs up metabolism. Recent studies found that people who ate nuts on a daily base lost 39 percent more weight than those who didn’t , even though their calorie intake was the same! On top of that amazing weight loss fact, keep in mind that nuts can lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes and- cancer!!!  now, that a reason to go nuts, don’t you think ???!!!

Secrets of Restaurants Salads that Simply Destroy your Diet:

March 05, 2010 By: Heiley G. Category: Diet Secrets, Weight watcher`s lifestyle

If you’re trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, or happened to be on a diet, and you are about to dine out at your favorite restaurant, don’t automatically turn to the salad menu! Turns out, restaurant salads can often be as bad as—or worse than—any other fatty dish on the menu! Sure, salads may contain some fresh & healthy produce base, but those leafy greens are normally weighed down with cheese, deep fried croutons, and high-calorie dressings. In fact, one salad from a popular chain restaurant may contains over 1,500 calories and too much fut!
 

These are some manue secrets you need to know:

 

secret_diet_healthy_salads 

 

  • Anytime you see the words “Parmesans-Crusted,” or “Orange Glazed” assume the dish has been slathered in sugar or cheese, had given a frying treatment and probably contain nearly a full day’s worth of sodium and half a day’s worth of calories!

  • In Mexican restaurants, salads are mostly the absolute worst choice from the menu. For example, with burritos and tacos, the amount of high-fat, high-calorie fillers is limited to what will fit in the shells! pay attention!

  • The top word you should be careful about is the mighty Caesar. Regular restaraunt`s Caesar dressing is normally loaded with many grams of fat and is very high in calories, combine it with cheese and croutons and you turn your light, healthy salad to a complete diet disaster! always ask for a low fat or fat-free dressing!

Good Luck!

Bad Breath?! Great Secret!

February 27, 2010 By: Heiley G. Category: Favorite Chic Secrets, Health Benefits

The main cause of bad breat  is a buildup of bacteria on your tongue, in between your teeth or in the back of your throat, which is often the results of some food left behind from not brushing thoroughly enough. Breath mints can be a quick fix, however if they contain sugar it will actually feed those microbes and can eventually make odor worse in the long run.

According to recent Japanese researches eating plain, suger-free yogurt may help get rid of the stinky bad breath! Go Yogurt!!!
