Weightloss and Dieting
Unnikrishnan Nedungadi asked:
People who lose weight quickly by “crash” dieting or other extreme measures usually gain it all back or gain even more of the pounds that they lost because they haven’t permanently changed their eating habits. As a general rule though, most nutrition experts recommend never going below 1,000-1,200 calories a day if you’re dieting on your own. This explains why it’s crucial to do as much as you can to protect your metabolic rate, especially when you’re dieting. And this means dieting sensibly with a suitable, rather than a very low calorie intake so that you lose fat rather than muscle.
Weight-loss
Weight-loss typically involves the loss of fat, water and muscle. Weight management is about long-term success & will hopefully last a lifetime. Weight gain is often linked to certain medication, such as HRT, the contraceptive pill and steroids. Weight-Loss is something that many Americans struggle with. Weight-loss dieting increases the risk of developing gallstones. Weight cycling, or losing and regaining weight repeatedly, may increase the risk of developing gallstones. Weight reduction diets include medically supervised diets; self-administered diets; commercial diet organizations and centers; weight-loss support groups or behavior modification programs; “fad” diets; “sensible, well-balanced” diets; in-hospital fasts; very-low-calorie diets (VLCDs); prepackaged food plans; and diets supplemented by drugs or artificial food products or supplements. Weight-loss diets have long been promoted as a permanent cure for “obesity,” although they rarely produce long-lasting or permanent results. Healthy rate to lose weight is about 2lb a week on average.
Diet
Dietary fiber is another food component which influences health even though it is not actually absorbed into the body. Diets affect the “energy in” component of the energy balance by limiting or altering the distribution of foods. Diets can be boring and there’s always a temptation to return to old habits.
Diets
Diets do not lead to sustained weight loss or health benefits for the majority of people. Diets cannot help but fail because bodies were never meant to engage in repetitive cycles of dramatic weight loss and weight gain. Diets that don’t include a variety of nutritious foods, or have too few calories, can be dangerous for kids. In most cases the goal is weight loss, but some athletes aspire to gain weight (usually in the form of muscle) and diets can also be used to maintain a stable body weight. There are several kinds of diets:Weight-loss diets restrict the intake of specific foods, or food in general, to reduce body weight. Many professional athletes impose weight-gain diets on themselves. American football players may try to “bulk up” through weight-gain diets in order to gain an advantage on the field with a higher mass. Individuals who are underweight, such as those recovering from anorexia nervosa or starvation, may adopt weight-gain diets which, unlike those of athletes, have the goal of restoring normal levels of body fat, muscle, and stores of essential nutrients. As more cultures scrutinize their diets, many parents consider putting their children on restricted diets that actually do more harm than good. Unless a doctor says otherwise, low-carb, low-fat, or other specialty diets for children who are not heavily obese are unhealthy because they deprive the body of the building blocks of cells (namely energy and lipids in the above examples).
Dieting
Dieting sets up a psychological state of childhood and usually fails in the long run, study finds. Dieting actually causes some people to gain weight.
Dieting can cause the following side effects:
- It may make you feel hungry and preoccupied with food (thinking about it all the time)
- Distracted and tired
- Sad and unmotivated
- Cold and dizzy
- And deprived of foods you enjoy.
Dieting before Pregnancy, many doctors do emphasize losing weight before beginning apregnancy. Dieting (especially strongly hypocaloric diets) tend to deplete the body of vitamins and minerals, and particularly of B vitamins. It is already a stress on the body; add in nutritional depletion before taking on the stress of making another little human being inside you (and all the huge hormonal changes associated with that). Dieting after pregnancy has special implications when breastfeeding.
Studies have found relations between dieting and low self-worth in 8-year-old girls and dieting and the development of eating disorders in overweight and obese adults.
Conclusion
Dieting creates more problems than it solves; dieting and overeating become a vicious circle. Dieters never stop dieting, and never stop using the dieting industry. Dieters have double the risk of getting type-2 diabetes compared to those who are overweight but do not diet.
As a general rule, until you have seen your GP, I suggest you stop thinking about dieting and losing weight and instead concentrate on eating a healthy, balanced diet that contains a wide range of foods. Did you know that by far, the biggest secret to losing fat is detoxifying your colon and liver?
Good luck dieting and remember to eat smart.

The Truth About Abs
How to Build Muscles
Big John asked:
You’ve seen the hard abs, the incredible biceps and triceps of men in body building commercials on television and you wonder if a mortal being like you can have a great body like the god Adonis himself.
Well the truth is you can. Nature has given men the natural chemical component to achieve and build muscles to perfection. Testosterone is the key ingredient that helps men build muscle faster and bigger.
So even if you have not step into a gym all your life, your body still produces testosterone in small amounts because of your sedentary lifestyle. When you finally made the decision to build muscles and join body building work-outs, your testosterone will be just as ready as you are.
Body building for Men is easier and faster. The testosterone in your body will stimulate muscle enlargement and raise the level of oxygen supply to your blood streams. You can work out harder and build muscles faster.
Body building comes with a price, no pain no gain. This is essentially true in body building, because the harder you work out your muscles, the bigger, and stronger and harder it will get.
This means that you have to exercise your different muscle group with enough resistance to exert more effort. During your body building work-out, you will tear your muscles here and there. But it’s not a cause for concern; in fact this is exactly what you need.
Why? Because only by straining and pulling your muscle will you be able to condition your body to supply more oxygen to the injured area. Once you have pulled and tear a muscle and with enough resting time, your muscle will heal – but the difference now, is that it’s ready for the resistance you’ve just introduced. Your muscles have just grown and became stronger.
To have an effective body building work-out, you need to have intervals for workout’s and rest-time. You need to keep in mind that the resistance (weight) and repetition is maximized always to pull your muscles. The work-out and rest intervals will result in faster muscle build-ups.
Every time you come back to the gym, the muscle group you’ve just trained last time is better equipped at handling the same resistance (weight) and repetition. Your muscle has healed and grown exactly to enable itself with the stress it just experience the last time you worked out.
What you need to do is of course; subject your muscles into another cycle of “shock”. Pull heavier weight than last time and add more cycles in your repetition if necessary. If you can carry your weights with ease for more than 8 reps, then the weight you’re pulling is not heavy enough for you. Remember pull the muscles enough to strain it and rest so your body will heal with bigger muscle mass. That’s the cycle.
You can see results in just over a few weeks of body building exercise. Just keep in mind to exercise all of your muscle groups to get the result you’ve always dreamed of. Body building is easier for men and faster, and you’ll wonder why you’ve never done it sooner than later.

The healthy food pyramid of good health and long life
pooh asked:
The Food Guide Pyramid was created more than ten years by the United States Department of Agriculture. The food pyramid illustrates what the USDA said were the elements of a healthy food pyramid diet. The food Pyramid was taught in schools, the media and brochures, cereal boxes and food labels. It seems that the last word on everything that we really comer.
Food guide pyramid is a fable. Not the way to a healthy diet. We were told today the food guide pyramid is based on weak evidence. Has not changed over the year to reflect major advances in understanding the relationship between diet and health.
Recently, the USDA withdrew the old food guide pyramid and replaced it with my pyramid, a new system of symbols and orientation. This revision is primarily the result of the food pyramid his side.
Good news about the new food pyramid :
• For the poor and buried in pyramids.
The bad news about food pyramid.

The last piece of advice that is recommended to arrive between 20% and 35% of calories from fat. The new food pyramid guidelines also recognize the potential health benefits of polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fats;
• complex carbohydrates is a term used in the past that has little biological significance;
• New food pyramid americans recommend limiting intake of sugar and stressles benefits of whole grains;
• The guidelines suggest eating half the grains as refined starch, refined starch, but acting like or sugar, add empty calories, have adverse metabolic effects and increase the risk of diabetes and heart.

The Raw Food Diet: Healthy, or are Benefits Cooked-up?
Diets In Review asked:
Since when was getting a raw deal a good thing? When you decide to try the Raw Food Diet, apparently. Proponents of this natural food diet stick to unprocessed uncooked plant foods, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouts, seeds, nuts, grains, beans, dried fruit, and seaweed.
Most adherents are vegetarian, while some eat raw fish and even fewer eat (gulp!) raw meat. Either way, you may as well say bye-bye to that new stainless steel stove of yours. That’s because raw food proponents believe that heating any food above 116 degrees Fahrenheit destroys important enzymes that help in digestion and absorption of the essential nourishment you get from your meals.
Critics claim that even if enzymes are inactivated when food is heated, the body uses its own enzymes for digestion. They also point out that cooking makes some phytochemicals easier to absorb into your system.
Regardless of which side you stand on, the emphasis on natural, non-processed food sources, is undeniably a good place to start.
So, are you still interested in trying the raw eating lifestyle? Since this is a pretty drastic change in your eating habits, you may experience some withdrawal symptoms such as headaches and nausea when you first give up sugar and caffeine. But don’t fret; it should only last a couple days. You may also risk some nutritional deficiencies such as protein, calcium and iron, so consider consulting your doctor first.
