How to Lose Weight Fast and Effectively?

This questions seems to in the top 5 questions that us, likely to ask any other human beings or mostly in the web. Why many of us ask this? For me, weight reflects our personality or our lifestyle that we currently have. But weight also, plays a big role on our health. Most of the diseases or illness today, weight have play a part, especially on those Heart Diseases.

But we will not talk about those diseases or illness, because I am here to give you an enlightenment about the questions above. This answers, may be in many form but if you follow this, I assured you that changes in your weight will be seen.

Here are the list:

1.       Set a timeline and weight that you need to achieve.

For the timeline, it is so important that you will set how many months or weeks you need to achieve those weight. Why?, because in setting a how many weeks or months, it will become more realistic, and you will have timeline in your mind that in just few weeks or months, you need to achieve it.  Without a timeline, your mind will be relax and follow by your body, this is most people fail to achieve.

Setting weight to achieve, is as important as timeline, because it will measure you will or work if you really achieve something. And you know that achieving those weight you set will boost your self-esteem.

2.       Have a mindset that you can lose weight

Why mindset?, without a mindset that you can lose weight may result to lack of focus and a failure to achieve those weight you want to achieve. Mindset is very important especially when your body begins to tire after few days or weeks workout. A strong mindset to lose weight will drive body even though you feel very tired. Also it will drive yourself to work in the next day.

3.       Exercise with proper diet

This your work now, the first two answers is your plan, exercise and diet is very important if you want to lose weight fast because, it will be a deciding factor and it will produce result if being done right.

Jogging every day is very important because this exercise involves a lot of muscle that will burn fats. Doing some weight exercise will also help to burn fats in specific areas of the body. And walking alone is a form of exercise.

Proper diet plays a very big role in losing weight, because nutrients from the food that being eaten will do its part in the body. High calorie foods and fatty foods must be limited, so that fat production will be limited also. Why I see limited? Fats and calories plays also a big role in the body, especially in working out and cold season. Vegetables and fruits are ideal foods to be eaten daily, but bread and a small portion of lean meat should eaten also, because it is part of Recommended Dietary Allowance. Chocolates should be limited also.

4.       Have proper rest

You think that rest is important in losing weight?, but it is, your body needs a proper rest especially after the workout. Without a proper rest, after the workout or exercise you do to lose weight it may result in fatigue or illness. Fatigue is not very good to the body, it will hinder your body to achieve the weight you want.

This my four best answer to the question “How to lose weight fast?”, if this things are being followed correctly, I am very sure that you will lose weight in no time. Have a nice day!

7 Supplements to be avoided or don't have benefits at all

Many of us wanted to be healthy, but to be healthy means that you need to do a lot of things, from the diet up to the workouts. Many of us have read some article, blogs or some book on how to be healthy. Few example of this are; have a balance diet, exercise daily, get enough sleep or rest and take some supplements to have more effectiveness.

Or do they?

Recent research studies have found that this supplements will not likely to slim your body down, bulk up those muscle or energize you but also it is likely to be harmful the body.

Many of this supplements result of many ER visit in the US due to its harmful effects not the benefits. And the Department of Justice have filled criminal and civil enforcement actions against this makers.

Here are the supplements that should be avoided and should be taken:

1.       Protein Powder (Skip it and eat beans, tofu, fish and meat instead)

Consider to be the most marketed and best-selling product, protein is necessary for building muscle and weight gain.

But proteins can be acquire in the diet, especially fish, meat, beans and tofu are the good source of it. Many companies are accused of spiking their protein with cheap filler- another reason to avoid powder products.

2.       Weight Loss Pills (Hydroxycut): Skip it- their claims are questioned

Weight lose pill are also one most marketed supplements in the market, the example for this is Hydroxycut. It claims that it will help to slim with the use of “pro clinical” ingredients. The formula contains a stimulant called ephedera, which is linked to many deaths and banned by Food and Drugs Administration in 2003.

3.       Antioxidants – Skip them, instead eat berries

Antioxidants such lipoic acid, polyphenols, coenzyme Q10 and other vitamins can be found many fruits and vegetables, especially berries and can help to fight cancer.

But studies suggest that excess antioxidants in the body may have a harmful effects. A large, long-term study of male smokers found out that who took vitamin A regularly will likely to get lung cancer than those who did not.

4.       Workout Boosters (Jack3d and Oxy Elite Pro) : Skip It

This products have active ingredients of dimethylamylamine or DMAA, claims that it will increased speed, endurance and strength.

Also this product had been linked to illness and at least one death.

5.       Green Coffee Extract: Skip it – a single study of it had been pulled.

"You may think magic is make-believe, but this little bean has scientists saying they've found the magic weight-loss cure for every body type," Dr. Mehmet Oz said of green coffee extract on his show in 2012.

But only study, had backed up this claims of weight loss capabilities and was funded by its manufacturer. The study retracted a month later.

6.       Fish Oil Pills: Skip Them – instead eat Salmon

It is been claimed that Omega 3 that can be found in the fish oil boost the brain functions.

But the evidence isn't very strong. A 2012 review of three large studies found that omega-3 supplements taken for anytime between five months and three years didn't improve memory or verbal skills in older people who did not have dementia at the start of each study.

"Direct evidence on the effect of omega-3 ... on incident dementia is lacking," the study's authors wrote.

7.       Gingko Biloba: Skip it – studies don’t proves it

Gingko biloba, is one best-selling products in terms of memory loss and marketed for “brain booster”.

Evidence of this product was inconsistent. While a small 2006 study found it to be effective as the drug donepezil for boosting attention and memory in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's, a large 2008 study of healthy older people found no evidence that it helped to prevent dementia, including Alzheimer's. A 2009 follow-up study found no evidence that gingko biloba slowed cognitive decline or memory loss.

That is the seven supplements that, we consider to be helpful in achieving healthy body but instead some of them are harmful to us, while others don’t have any benefits at all or pure marketing strategy of the products.

Hopefully, this post will enlightens us about the supplements on what not to take.

In my next post, will give a list supplements that have benefits to us or that is necessary for our body towards achieving healthy body.

5 Dangerous Foods that are Delicious

Human being’s greatest source of energy and other nutrients, important to the body is the food. Food can be found almost in any place, plants, animals, in the sea and other areas of the earth. This make us human able to live, perform those activities and survive in many years.

Foods are in many different form also, but their main purpose is to give nutrients and energy in to body. But food, may not be always give benefits to the body, also it will bring destruction.

Yes, destruction.. not all foods gives benefits, they give also “bad nutrient”, those foods are those being made at the laboratory, not organic. With science on it, food will be more delicious in taste, much easy to cook than those organic, but beware, it pack also “bad nutrients” that will be a problem in the later years.

Here is list of the food, which are dangerous or need to be avoided in our diet:

1. Soda

Could be the greatest drink, because almost people drink soda, it quench the thirst our body have. But beware on this drink, Soda is also known “sugar water”, why? Because main component of this drink is sugar and other high fructose syrup.

We may know that it contains carbonated water, and carbonated water helps to treat some abdominal problems. But Soda contains a small amount of it, meaning that it is more dangerous than helpful.

One of the drink, that make people to be obese because, of the sugar it contains, a lot of it.

2. Processed Meat

This food consider dangerous because of the chemicals that put into the meats, in order for the meat to have long shelve life. Most of this chemicals consider to one main cause to develop cancer in the later years.

Also, it contains a lot of sodium and sugar, and we know too much in our body is dangerous.

Processed Meat are being added with fat for shelf life, and Trans-fat helps to raise the bad cholesterol and lowers the good cholesterol.

3. Canned Foods

Canned foods contains chemical called “Bisphenol”, is very dangerous because it is a plastic contaminants. Most canned food these days have a plastic coating inside the can to supposedly keep the food, vegetables, and fruits – fresh.

Also, canned foods contains preservatives, the most common preservative being use is the salt. A large amount of salt is used to prevent the food from rotting.

4. Food that comes in a Fast Food Chain

Why I put this on the list, because we know that the food that are being serve in a fast food, are being cook with the use of cooking. And cooking oil are loaded trans-fat that will help to raise the bad cholesterol level in our body. And this bad cholesterol may cause a cardiovascular disease in the future.

Also, they added preservatives and artificial flavoring in the food to taste and prevent it from spoiling very early.

Only I can say is that, you must learn to cook the food, in that such way, you’re guaranteed that the food is safe and nutritious.

5. Margarine

Margarine are loaded with trans -fat, this type of fat are the one helps to increase the bad cholesterol in our body, lowers the good, promotes clotting and also it damages blood vessel.

Also, it contains a lot of calories per table spoon meaning that it will increase your waistline overtime, if consume more often.

Are you fat? Or being overweight? And you know that it is a torture when just doing some walking because of the weight you have. And it feels like a struggle when you’re just climbing to a stairs. Many of your friends constantly telling that you need to get lose weight, in order to avoid many disease, especially hearth disease. And that’s true, being overweight is the number one factor of acquiring this type of disease.

But being fat or overweight is not just about any diseases, there are also benefits on it. Yeah, that’s true there are benefits of being fat or overweight, and I will put five benefits below.

Yeah that’s right, I know that you thought that those thine ones will recover first than those obese. This is an advantage by those fat or obese person to those thin person or slim, they can recover from any disease or illness faster than those slim persons.

The body’s reproductive is more favored to a fat person or obese. Obese people have more stamina than those person that goes in to the gym.

3.        NOT EASILY DEPRESSED

I might be wrong about this, but the truth is that obese person can be only depressed with others call their names, however those slim persons are likely get depressed easily than obese.

Their studies that suggest that overweight persons have low chance of being depressed.

So image that, many obese find happiness in their self by just eating.

4.       LOW CHANCE TO HAVE DEMENTIA

Many of us believes, that being obese increases the chance to develop dementia in later years, however a publication suggest opposite.

A research published in “The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology,” they conducted in unprecedented scale, and the scientist behind this study remains convinced of their result and validity.

The lead researcher Dr. Nawab Qizilbash said "Our results should open new avenues for research for protective factors for dementia. They may be used to provide insight to looking for a mechanism and developing new treatments for dementia. In addition, doctors, public health scientists and policy makers may need to rethink how to identify who is at high risk for dementia."

5.       WINTER IS NOT A PROBLEM

Could be the greatest advantage by the obese, they will immediately being cold on winter. With an extra layer of fats, it surely will be an insulator to the body.

When others chattering their teeth and shaking, you’ll find yourself just sitting and feel how lucky you are.

This are the list, hopefully those obese, fat and overweight person, will not be discourage about their body, instead you must that their also benefits on it.
