Weight loss Saboteurs

New science says that your bedtime, your work agenda & even the temperature of your house may be blame.

Habits that you have never even thought of may be unwittingly sabotaging your efforts. If you are trying to slim down, pay attention to these sneaky weight loss saboteurs:

Staying up Late

According to new research staying up late may pack on up to 1 kg a month. The study found that people who go to bed late eat more food (on average 248 extra calories per day), have worse diets & are more likely to have a higher body mass index than people who tuck in earlier. Eating at night, when you are supposed to be sleeping, may cause you to process calories differently. Plus, the foods we often crave at night tend to be high in calories & fat. To ease into a new routine, inch your bedtime back by 15 minutes a night until you are snagging seven to eight hours of sleep.

Travelling

The more time you spend away from home, the worse off your waistline. After reviewing the medical records of more than 13000 employees researchers found that those who traveled the most for work were more likely to have higher BMIs & a greater risk of obesity. Long stints of inactivity behind the wheel & unhealthy on-the road food choices are probably to blame. Fill a portable cooler with fresh-cut fruits & vegetables, sandwiches, yogurt & bottles of water in your glove compartment as a go-to healthy snack.

Airconditioning

A study theorizes that modern technologies (such as air conditioning) help keep our bodies in a thermo neutral zone, a temperature range in which we don’t have to work to stay comfortable, which decreases the amount of calories we burn. Also, when you are hotter you tend to eat less, so keeping your house cool may make you eat more. Set your air conditioner to the highest temperature you can tolerate, or turn it off altogether of you can stand it, though this specific approach has not yet been scientifically shown to cause weight loss.

Over-Stuffed Fridge

Eating plenty of fruits & vegetables can help you stay trim, but if your fridge is so full that you don’t even know what’s in your produce drawers, your healthy intentions may be falling short, wash & cut up fruits & veggies as soon as you get home from market, then store them in airtight containers on eye-level shelves. Keep a fruit bowl with apples, peers, bananas or mangoes on the counter. And don’t buy more than a week’s worth of produce at a time.

Artificially sweetened drinks

According to a study people who downed drinks made with artificial sweeteners had a 47 percent bigger increase in body mass index (BMI) than those who didn’t drink them. While artificially sweetened drinks certainly pack fewer calories than full sugar beverages, over-relying on them as a weight-loss tool may backfire. Researchers theorize that artificial sweeteners stoke your sweet tooth & set off cravings that lead you to binge on high calorie food later. Craving something sweet to sip? Make ice cubes out of 100 percent fruit juice & plop them into a glass of iced tea. As the ice melt it will sweeten the drink & add healthy vitamins & antioxidants.   

Multi-Tasking

Your rapid-fire, doing five-things-at-once lifestyle has a surprisingly negative effect on you diet. Of course when you are busy it’s harder to carve out time for exercise or cook healthy meals, but new research suggests that serially switching tasks actually wears out you resolve & makes you more apt to give in to temptation. Researchers conducted five different experiments on about 300 people & found that frequently toggling between different tasks can exhaust the executive function of the brain, which help us regulate self control. Minimizing distractions may help you avoid a snack binge.  

Common Oral Health Mistakes

Brushing is not enough to protect your teeth from cavities. If you regularly consume lots of sugar, smoke or skip regular dental visits, you teeth could still suffer. Here are the top oral health pitfalls you should avoid:

A diet high in sugar is bad for your waistline & your teeth. Chewing gum, snacking on candies, downing sweet sodas & juices are habits known to cause cavities & damage teeth. But tooth decay can be caused not just by obviously sugar laden foods; carbohydrates contain sugars & starches that can also lead to cavities. These sugars leave a coating on your teeth that’s converted into acids by the natural bacteria that live in your mouth. These acids then break down the enamel on your teeth, which results in the holes called cavities.

Smoking causes problems for your teeth & there is a much higher rate of gum disease among smokers versus non-smokers, as well as more rapid bone loss around teeth. Using other tobacco products are other bad habits that affect overall oral health. Chewing tobacco regularly & smoking can increase the risk of oral cancer.

You may think chewing ice or chewing on a pencil is a harmless habit, but it’s quite tough on teeth & can lead to damage. People who chew ice of clench & grind their teeth due to stress may rapidly wear down the enamel on teeth.

Skimping on oral care is surefire way to develop gum disease & other dental problems. Frequent brushing (at least two times a day, ideally after meals & snacks) & daily flossing should be part of your regular dental hygiene routine. Skipping these steps can allow bacteria to feed on leftover sugars & food particles in your mouth, resulting in acid that causes cavities.

Keeping your teeth healthy also requires regular visits to your dentist. You should see your dentist twice a year for a cleaning & detection of any early signs of cavities.

PROTECT YOUR EYES

It’s easy to take your vision for granted – but it’s not difficult to maintain eye health. Try these tips to protect your eyes.

Many eye diseases & disorders can be prevented or corrected if they are caught early. Not only do regular visits to your eye doctor help ensure an early diagnosis, but you can also get an up-to-date prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses. Children should have their eyes examined at six months old, three years old, before the first grade & then every two years until their eighteenth birthday. Adults between the ages of 18 & 40 should have their eyes checked every two to three years, 41 to 60 years old require an exam every two years, adults over 60 should have an annual eye exam.

Not only is it important to see your eye doctor for routine visits, but you should also know the warning signs that might necessitate a more immediate visit. Call your eye doctor if you have difficulty adjusting to light or dark, trouble focusing, unusual sensitivity, a change in the color of the iris or lids, pain double vision, dark spots of halos, dry or watery eyes, flashes of light, or loss of peripheral vision.

Also be sure to do the following: Clean & store your lenses only in fresh solution, replace your contacts as directed & remove your contacts before swimming or entering a hot tub.

If your are bound to your computer , take these precautions: Set the center of your computer screen 4 to 5 inches below eye level & 20 to 28 inches away from your eyes. Reduce glare by using lower-wattage light bulbs overhead & closing curtains. Finally try to blink more often & rest 15 minutes after every two hours of computer use.

The recommendation that carrots are good for your eyes has some truth. That’s because carrots contain the carotenoids lutein & zeaxanthin, which are naturally found in the eyes & which can help ward off cataracts & macular degeneration. Recent studies have found that foods rich in antioxidants can reduce your risk of developing age-related eye disease & cataracts.

Papaya, cantaloupe, strawberries, oranges & grapefruit are excellent sources of vitamin C, while vitamin E is found in almonds, sunflower seeds & leafy greens.

How to lose Weight quickly

GRAPE FRUIT DIET

The Grapefruit diet is a short-termed diet, which only lasts for a mere 2 ½ months. This diet can cause rapid weight loss and is highly popular among those who want to lose those extra pounds in a jiffy.

The grapefruit itself is such a healthy fruit. The fruit is known to contain literally no fat at all! It can help you to lose weight, as it is an energy-giving fruit. At the same time, it keeps your thyroid hormone well balanced and ensures a proper intake of fatty acids. It contains lots of potassium and is good for the heart. It however contains large amounts of vitamin C, antioxidants in the form of beta-carotene, sodium, and fiber.

Grapefruit diet may help people reduce their total calorie intake, but on the other side it may not be able to supply you with sufficient nutrients. In other words, the best way to a balanced diet is one that consists of all the essential nutrients.

3 Day Diet:

The 3-day diet is just another fad diet dating back to the 1980s. The 3-day diet is said to promote quick weight loss, lower cholesterol, cleansing and increased energy. The 3-day diet plan is a quick plan whereby you are entitled to eat only certain kinds of food in order to create a chemical reaction in your digestive system. This is so that it will boost the metabolism and hence causing our body to burn fat at a faster rate.

The 3-day diet is very specific and all you need to do is to adhere to it precisely. The portions must be eaten as specified and you must not overeat. If you fail to do otherwise, the 10-pound weight loss that you wish to achieve by the end of the 3-day diet would not be reached. Remember, at the same time, do not under-eat.

The 3-day diet goes as follows:

Breakfast: a piece of toast with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, one half a grapefruit and coffee (no sugar)

Lunch: black coffee, a piece of toast and a can of tuna

Dinner: a cup of green beans, 3 ounces of chicken or lean meat, one cup of carrots, one cup of regular vanilla ice cream and one apple

The next 2 days of the diet follows on like the 1st day, even though the menu differ slightly. At Day 2, one specific change is recommended – Eat 2 beef franks for dinner instead of 3 ounces of lean meat. The author refuses to reveal the science supporting this change though!

There are set backs to the 3-day diet. Firstly, it is most likely that you would put back the weight you loss right after the 3rd day. Secondly, you might want to consider the effects the 3-day diet will have on your health. During the 3-day diet, you will experience low energy. This is simply because you are consuming only 600 calories, while the body actually requires more than this to go about daily!

The good thing to the 3-day diet is that it is very useful for anyone who wishes to loose those pounds quickly for a special upcoming event. It is the “easy” way out of the usual standard hard-core dieting. This diet also does not consist of any exercise regimen.

How the 3-day diet works is by reducing the “Water weight” of your body. This is simply done by concentrating your meals on fish and cutting out all carbohydrates intake. As said, the weight loss is just temporary for as soon as you resume with your normal diet, you will put the water weight back on!

It is best that you don’t eat much of anything, including grapefruits. The most ideal diet is one that is well balanced and well proportioned.

For instance, you can take a healthy helping of grapefruit, but do include other essential nutrients, which are not found in the fruit. Balance is the main key here. Do consult with your personal physician or dietitian before trying out on the Grapefruit diet.

The Grapefruit Diet weight loss plan is the ideal weight loss diet for real heavy weighters who need to lose lots of pounds. By following closely the Grapefruit diet, you would be able to lose 52 pounds within two and a half month!

However, several experts seem to say otherwise about the effectiveness of the grapefruit in its ability to cause weight loss. Some dietitians explained that the wonders of the grapefruit diet are simply myths and are not factual as these claims are not scientifically supported.

Some things are still left unexplained. For example, in the 1930’s, some claimed that the grapefruit’s enzyme would be able melt body fat. But yet, till today, no one can provide a concrete explanation on how it is made possible.

These counter allegations are not scientifically proven either. So, if you are on a grapefruit diet and it seems to be working well for you, it may be best for you to continue. After all, what matters is that a diet program
