Less Carbohydrate>More Losing Weight

2009-03-15T20:06:00.000-07:00

Carbohydrate food generally leave feeling addicted to consume. Look at us, as Indonesian people, if not eating rice, we say that we have not eaten actually, when after all the consumption of the carbohydrate at least have the same or even more than the consumption of rice.

Carbohydrate, in this case has a greater number of sugar when compared with other types of food. So, can you imagine if we consume too many carbohydrates, it will be more and more excessive sugar that will be stored in our bodies.

However, it's incorrect too if we omit carbohydrate from our daily food. In this case of losing weight, you can start planning to reduce your carbohydrate foods, especially when breakfast. If usually you eat a full portion of carbohydrate(especially rice), reduce the portion become a half. Or if you like you can substitute the kind of carbohydrate such as brown rice, oatmeal, wholewheat bread. These foods will keep you full until the lunch time, so that you will decrease the passion of having snack in the middle of breakfast and lunch. The key is your breakfast. Reduce carbohydrate and add more protein, fruit and vegetable to your breakfast menu.You will feel the difference and moreover lose your weight about 1-2 kilos in a week if you put this into routine.

Nevertheless, "No Pain..No Gain" which is you have to be ready being busy every morning to prepare your healthy breakfast foods.For the first week, maybe it will become a big burden but then when it becomes a part of your habit, you'll find it effectively.

The Miracle of Water On Your Diet

2009-03-04T19:07:00.000-08:00

It's fresh, liquid, transparent and healthy..

It's water...plain water that we need everyday. As the fact say, human's body consist of 90% of liquid (mineral).

Water is not only as the substantial part of our life, indeed but also play a very important part in your weight loss program. If you're on a diet and you consume less water, I can guarantee that your program will stay the same, or in another word, you're doing nothing.

DO YOU KNOW THAT WATER WILL BOOST YOUR DIET PROGRAM 30% FASTER?

When you're on a diet you MUST consume more water to help your program runs well. Water will purify the fat in your body and put it in end as urine. As we know, we need water at least 8-12 glass a day. So, from the assumption, people who are on a diet will need about 15 glass a day. WOW!!!

There are several ways to remind you, people on a diet, in a condition you may forget to consume more water:

Always bring a bottle of 2 liter of water anywhere you go. Refill in again when you meet the dispenser.
Alert the time for drinking the water on your cellular for every one hour. Perhaps, it's gonna be a hectic job since you've got to go to the toilet for a couple of hours in the beginning because for those who don't get used to drink water more, the body will reject it first by making it through urine. Later on, as your body gets along with, you'll be less often going to toilet. Believe me.
Write in upper case red letter "DRINK ME!" and stick the paper on the bottle. This words will supervise you like a security.

Drinking water is not a habit, but it's our need. And therefore we need to carry on to consume it eventhough we don't feel any thirsty, because somehow your body is hungry of water, but you only remember to give it more foods but less water.

From now on, make drinking water as a part of your need and habit, that will complete each other.

Enough Sleep=Stay Slim

2009-03-03T23:55:00.000-08:00

For some reasons I have chosen to put "Enough Sleep=Stay Slim" as the title for this post as some articles said that:

If you have enough sleep every night at time where it's supposed to be, you will maintain your body from hunger during the day.
If you sleep enough, then you will eat reasonably.
If you sleep enough, you will let your metabolism works on its maximum power.
If you sleep enough, then there will be no matter with your digestion acid.

It's not exaggerated to say that in my opinion, it really works well. Not even for somebody who want to stay slim but also for somebody who wants to gain weight as well. That Enough sleep will bring you to a happier, healthier life.

From the first point, If you have enough sleep every night at time where it's supposed to be, you will maintain your body from hunger during the day. How can it be? Well, it's simple. By obeying the rule of not sleeping lately until the late of midnight you let your body rest happily, then your pancreas and all of the organs to detox themselves. That's why in the next day, you'll get your body feel fresher and has more power to do the activities, though you eat in a very small portion.

If you sleep enough, then you will eat reasonably. This means that by enough sleeping you're not only control the amount of food consumption but also stress that oftem lead to consuming extra foods unconsciously.

If you sleep enough, you will let your metabolism works on its maximum power.I do agree with this since we will get more nutrition if we have our metabolism on its perfect function. So that there will be no nutrition lost.

The last, If you sleep enough, then there will be no matter with your digestion acid. This related to point number three and the point where you reduce the tendency of having headache and stomachache.

Hmmm, by elaboration above, what are you waiting for? Go, catch your pillow, bolster, take wudhu and say bismika...then SLEEP happily.

Why Unhealthy Snack Leads to Extra Weight??

2009-02-04T17:34:00.000-08:00

Snack is often consumed outside the hours of breakfast, lunch or dinner. But sometimes, our tendency to choose unhealthy snack arises when we eat only to satisfy our stomach. Do you know if unhealthy snack is regularly consumed may lead to obesity, it can even trigger the disease such as diabetes and high blood tension?

How can it happen? Here I try to explain the how. When we wake up in the morning, our bodies actually need the amount of nutrition, but sometimes many people just ignore at it. They only consume snack or drink coffee or milk as their breakfast. There are even a more serious not to have breakfast at all. So, because the number of the nutrition is not enough consumed during breakfast-in this case the protein – from which we easily feel hungry and want to eat the snack to immediately replace the feeling of hunger that catch.

Snack even is repeated as many as 2-3 times a day in between the time you eat. Snack you eat will increase blood sugar level which results in a substantial emission of insulin by pancreas. The insulin removes sugar from blood sugar, and thirst for more carbs. This cycle repeats itself 2-3 times during the day as you repeatedly consume unhealthy snack and lots of sugar also food contains more carbohydrates such as: greasy food, cookies, candy, chocolate, bread, chips, etc..

Well then, This vicious cycle constitutes one of the major reasons for diabetes, high blood pressure and extra weight since insulin will turn excessed sugar into fat, so you can experience and culminate on obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure.

The idea here is that the snack is not prohibited to be eaten, but it's good when your body is feeling hungry in between the meal hours, you do the following first:

Check first on the stomach if this really should eat or not?

Try drinking a glass of water to find the answer, because sometimes our bodies send signals that doesn’t always mean starving to eat, but need a drink.

If after drinking water does not help your hunger, this mean you have to eat snack. But what kind of snack is healthy and can ease hunger? Try to consume fruit like apple, pear or Markisa. Or you can also consume protein, such as boiled tempe or tofu.

For workers, it may be easier if you bring fruit for your snack as it can be eaten directly after washing. But if you just stay more at home, snack with protein may also be consumed.

How Important Is Breakfast?

2008-12-17T18:59:00.000-08:00

Not many people realize it but eating breakfast is the secret to stay healthy. No matter how busy you are, it’s important to fuel your body so that you can have energy throughout the day. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. So don’t overlook this important meal. Select healthy options that fit your taste and lifestyle.

The Benefits of a healthy Breakfast are:

Jumpstart your metabolism from the overnight fast: Breakfast is considered an important meal because it breaks the overnight fasting periods and replenishes your supply of glucose. Glucose is your body’s energy source and is broken down and absorbed from the carbohydrates you eat. In the morning, after you have gone without food for as long as 12 hours, your glucose levels drop. When this happens, your body compensates by releasing the glucose that has been stored in your muscle tissue and liver, called glycogen. Once all the energy from the glycogen stored is used up, the body breaks down fatty acids to produce energy. Without carbohydrates, fatty acids are only partially oxidized, which can cause reduced energy levels.

Works towards weight Loss: After 12 hours of sleep your body has been fasting overnight, and in the morning you are almost in the first stages of starvation. Skipping breakfast keeps your body in ‘starvation’ mode, while eating a good meal will give your metabolism a boost. If you’re trying to lose weight, the last thing you want to do is keep your metabolism at this lowered state. Eating a healthy breakfast will increase your fat burning ability. Breakfast, therefore, can boost your energy levels as well as your metabolism for the day.

Increase your essential nutrients and overall energy levels: Breakfast provides a significant proportion of the day’s total nutrient intake and offers the opportunity to eat foods fortified with nutrients such as foliate, iron, vitamins and fiber. Essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients can only be gained from food.

Give You brain fuel to enhance concentration: Eating breakfast improves your thinking ability and keeps you at top mental performance. It provides your brain with fuel to enhance problem solving and memory retention.

No matter what you choose, eating breakfast gives you body and your brain the energy they need to carry you through the day. Be good to yourself and eat breakfast, as it will make you feel much better throughout the day.
