Lose Weight by Reading the Labels on Food
August 18th, 2009
Shopping for food in today’s modern supermarket environment is never much fun, but when you’re trying to lose weight it seems as if everything is geared towards making you fat. The rows upon rows of great looking foods, packaged to appeal to as wide an audience of eager shoppers as possible are deliberately designed to encourage you to buy far more than you need. So how do you turn this consumer nightmare into a positive experience to help you lose weight instead of the other way around?
The first and most important thing you should do with regards to weight loss when you pick up any food or beverage item from the shelf is to study the label. Not the pretty picture of how great the food looks on a designer studio plate, or the blurb about how you simply must buy this great product. No, you need to read the label on the back that has all the boring ingredient and nutritional information!
This is the part where you discover if all the claims made on the glossy front of the label are true or just hype. It may come as no great surprise to learn that most products on the supermarket shelves are in all truthfulness just hype, sugar, salt, fat and artificial flavourings, colourings, preservatives and very little in the way of actual nutrition! This is the part of shopping that clever consumers get to beat a food industry that is interested only in their money, not their health.
For the shopper who seriously wants to lose weight, by reading the ingredients first, you will soon learn what to put into your shopping basket, or shove straight back on the shelf like a hot potato. To be in with a chance of weight loss, you should also check serving sizes when working out the calories in foods. The main health offenders that should be avoided are:
Artificial Sweeteners
These foods will usually contain Aspartame or Sorbitol. These days, Saccharin has such a bad press with links to cancer that most manufacturers opt for one or both of the first two. But don’t buy anything that contains them. They are bad for your health in many ways, but from a weight loss perspective they fool you into thinking you are hungry, so you will eat more and gain weight.
Artificial Flavours
These usually include monosodium glutamate which is linked with stomach cancer. Being a flavour enhancer, you are more likely to eat more of the product containing it and gain weight. Whether you are on a weight loss program of not, if you see this ingredient printed on the label, think twice about buying it!
Artificial Colours
These are not so much a problem for people trying to lose weight, but some of them can cause an imbalance in the way the brain produces some hormones and certainly leads to hyperactivity in children. A hyperactive child will eat far more than they need and you can potentially end up with obese kids. For this reason, you should avoid buying food containing artificial colours.
This might sound like you have to bypass 90 percent of what is on supermarket shelves if you want to lose weight and be healthy and unfortunately you’d be right. It doesn’t mean you have to starve, but it does mean you have to shop clever to provide yourself and your family with a balanced, healthy diet. After all, who wants to stare weight gain and obesity in the face just to make a bunch of food manufacturers rich?

How to Lose Weight in Your Sleep
June 29th, 2009
People are always mystified when you tell them they can lose weight in their sleep naturally, without taking any diet pills or potions and without having to resort to dangerous surgery. So how exactly does that work? Well, here we’ll take a look at what it means to actually achieve weight loss in your sleep and what you need to do in order to make it happen.
First of all, sleep itself is a part of every person’s day that is as necessary to the health of the body and mind as is exercise and good diet. This is the time of the day when you body goes into repair and rejuvenation mode, fixing any damaged muscles, ligaments tissues and cells while it is not being constantly interrupted by your waking actions. Its also the time your mind settles down and switches into unconscious mode so that it can do all the things it can’t do while you are awake, conscious and constantly thinking of things.
So you can see that sleep itself is a highly important part of your day and if you deprive yourself of sleep, you will become less alert and active during the day because of it. If you persistently go without the full quote of around eight hours sleep every night, you will, over time do your body more harm than good. It will also impact your mental functions which can have a profound effect on your overall health.
This is where we get to the part where you can learn how to make full use of your sleep time as part of your weight loss process. It goes without saying that sleeping alone will not help you lose weight, although it will help you to maintain your body’s health better than if you deprived yourself of sleep. You need to give your body something to work with while you are awake and that comes in the form of exercise and good diet. These are the two main ingredients in any weight loss plan, so if you intend to lose weight, you need to be looking at improving your diet and getting more exercise.
The way this works is by a combination of digesting a calorie controlled, nutritious diet with the exercise that you do during your waking hours. The processes that are started while you are awake include better digestion of the food and better use being made from the nutrients to fuel your muscles while you exercise. This increases your metabolic rate, or the rate at which you process the food you eat. The faster this goes, the faster you burn off the calories you consumed, which leads to weight loss.
The beauty of all this is that the process is carried on when you sleep. So while the body is busy repairing any damaged muscles, tissues and fibres that occurred while you were awake and exercising, it is continuing to burn calories while it implements those repairs. So burning calories means you continue to lose weight while you sleep. Now isn’t that just the best thing ever?

Losing Weight Tips
June 5th, 2009
Weight Loss Plan.
Being overweight has it’s inherent dangers and can even result in death. Ask the 300,000 to 400,000 people who die each year in the United States due to weight-related complications across the board. Weight gain, which is also known as obesity, is defined as having a BMI or body mass index of 25-59. Body mass index is calculated by dividing weight with height and then squaring the answer.
Many people have realized the dangers of having a BMI that is above the recommended figure. Overweight people suffer from low self-esteem, lack of sleep or sleeping disorders, chronic fatigue and even a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes. Obesity also depresses the body’s immune system thereby making it susceptible to a malady of ailments from the common cold to the full blown flu.
There are however, ways to beat weight gain. One of them is to educate you regarding nutrition. It is surprising to note just how many people cook food or eat food without the slightest regard to what is contained in those foods or how many calories are therein. This is common. But it can change. Whenever you buy food at the grocery store, read the label and see what ingredients and locked up in the food and how many calories are there. Also search online for weight loss forums where people are discussing nutrition issues and you will get a treasure drove of information on how to eat right and become healthier.
The Internet also affords you information on the right recipes and how to eat the foods that have the right nutrition mix. The food pyramid website managed by the USFDA has a ton of information regarding proper nutrition and should be in everyone’s arsenal in the battle to lose weight. Exercise is off course another great way.
Do you want help to fight your obesity?
Well if the Weight Loss Twins from NBC’s The Biggest Loser Season 4 could so can YOU! Read more about just HOW the did overcome their obesity HERE.
