The diet is a diet of raw foodists “imported” from America. Let’s see what is included.

The raw foodists exclude from your diet all foods that have been cooked. It is practiced mainly on a diet for health reasons. In fact, according to the principles of raw food diet, cooking would disperse all the vitamins and minerals they are made of food (in other words, consider the raw food as “live”, while the cooked would be “dead “). Furthermore, according to raw foodists cooking of various foods is a “practice” new and therefore not essential to the human organism.

Raw food are consumed in the diet: fresh vegetables, grains (just germinated), herbs and some cheese. Rarely eat eggs. The most rigid rule out the meat and some consume fish.

Disadvantages:

- Lack of vitamin B12
- Iron deficiency

The banana diet, invented by a pharmacist in Osaka, Japan velocemnte . There were also numerous television programs ch they have demonstrated their effectiveness.

How it works.

- For breakfast you must eat a banana or drinking water at room temperature.
- During lunch and dinner you can eat your usual meals but dinner must finish within 20 hours.
- You should go to bed before midnight.

What are the qualities of banana (can be considered as one of the most common foods in the world)?
It contains potassium, vitamins A, B1, B2, PP. And ‘well if you want to keep the skin supple and also affects the quality of sleep. So his energy intake ensures an immediate effect.

The banana also causes an improvement in digestion and a subsequent weight loss. This is a simple diet and that seems suitable for people who wish to make a few sacrifices, but we wonder if it really works or is just a fad.

It can happen to make great sacrifices trying to lose weight but the end result is not as hoped.
Let’s see what behaviors to avoid:

1) Do not sport, only use the machine and do the stairs. We were wrong: in fact, not just follow a diet. The perfect mix to find the right weight is made up of a good exercise and a diet as much content as possible.
2) Skipping meals and / or breakfast.
3) Do not eat pasta and bread. High protein diets are based precisely on the reduction of carbohydrates in favor of the consumption of meat and fish. It must be said that bread and pasta, pillars of Mediterranean cuisine, are our main source of energy and thus eliminate them completely is not completely healthy.

4) Drinking wine and spirits. Alcohol is very calorie (a glass of white wine contains about 100 calories) and if you decide to follow a diet should be completely eliminated.
5) Do not drink water. Big mistake: all waters are diuretic and facilitate the exchange of fluids.
6) Use only the sweetener. The difference between a bag of sugar and sweetener is minimal. It must be said that some sweeteners may be laxative. Better to make a very limited use.
7) Continue with the Zone diet for over 5 months. It is a diet that is effective but only in the short term.

Let’s see how it could be a typical day for what concerns the power. We assume that the hectic pace which we are daily subjected us to eat often in conditions not particularly good but we try, if possible, follow these simple (but important) rules that if followed will allow us to avoid putting on weight and stay

1) E ‘is well known that consume energy even while we sleep here because breakfast must be able to provide protein and minerals. Of course we should not get all’English B but not to limit ourselves to drink a cup of coffee. Skipping breakfast can lead to weight gain.
2) Yes to a light snack in the morning and as long as carbohydrate (we know it is easy to digest). Nothing particularly salty snacks or sandwiches.
3) The main meal should be represented by lunch, which should make approximately 30% of daily calories. The main function of the lunch is to supply the body with fiber, protein and carbohydrates. The ideal is to choose a pasta with meat sauce or the lasagna and vegetable or fruit to complete.
4) As for the afternoon snack (important as that of mid-morning) yes, but also to squeeze a slice of pie.
5) The dinner should be lighter than lunch and be composed of easily digestible foods (fish, lean meat but also eggs).

With the new smoking ban are many people who finally decide to try to stop the snuff. It is a good time, and there are many places where smoking is not helping to not light any cigarettes. The new devices also help to stop smoking without side effects that sold in pharmacies, as an example, the famous Arkocig. And while the benefits of quitting are evident especially in health is concerned, there are those who fear the overweight than typically occurs at the beginning.

It is true that the early months ago are taken from 2 to 4 kilos. This is due in part to the anxiety generated by the cessation of snuff which brings us to eat more than usual, partly due to the metabolism slows slightly to quit nicotine, the expenditure of calories in our body is lower, making the same calorie intake a bit more we get fat. It is also true that after these kilos are lost, naturally, once the body adjusts to the lack of nicotine and other substances in cigarette. Anyway, this small increase in weight is no health risk and we simply must reduce some of the calories, increase expenditure through exercise or a plant with this action such as citrus or green tea.

Of course we should not change a harmful habit for another, if we spend quit the junk food, snacks or pastries, ill go. It is normal to eat a little anxiety at first, but I say that because a few kilos, not 10 or 12 as some manifest. If that happens is for a poor diet. So when we leave the snuff trying to look at our diet and a healthy diet, especially early, a balanced diet and cleansing that will eliminate toxins accumulated by smoking. Diet also can help us overcome the anxiety. Some recommendations:

1. Dispense with stimulants such as tea or coffee … and help plants and California poppy, valerian to relieve anxiety, overcome a bad mood and insomnia.
2. A moderate increase consumption of whole grains, milk (semi skimmed or skimmed), lettuce, nuts and bananas.
3. Implement a cleansing diet rich in foods such as borage, artichoke, broth-drain cleanser celery, leek, onion and parsley … including plants to help combat fluid retention and eliminate toxic snuff, such as artichokes, dandelion or milk thistle.
4. Avoid snacking whenever possible or use healthier choices.
5. If you always stress the importance of water, now we have it even more into account. Not lower the daily pints.

I encourage all who are trying to quit snuff, put comments on the blog with your experience and help each other.

For a diet is balanced and allows us to lose weight is necessary to know the calories our body uses during the course of the day. This depends greatly on the level of physical activity we do, if our work requires physical exertion will be burning more calories than if you have a job such as a clerk.

A calorie calculator shows how many calories we eat each day to take cover the energy demand of our body, some also report the amount of calories recommended for weight loss , and what are the limits which must not exceed.

Knowing the amount of calories your body burns per day can develop a diet that meets energy needs without compromising our health. Calories should meet the demands of the body but a deficiency and an excessive amount of calories is detrimental. Read the rest of this entry »
