Holistic Remedies to Weight Loss

July 1, 2010 By dorischua Leave a Comment

The sun is out and summer is here again. I overheard a friend complaining that she is having problems with losing those excess pounds and how it would affect how she looks in her swimsuit. I shared some holistic remedies with her that included a healthy diet and sufficient exercise and the conversation went on.

For most people who desire to lose weight, they are ready to pay a ‘price’ to this commitment. Some know that there isn’t a short cut to weight loss and seek natural ways to achieve their goals. While some just can’t wait and want immediate results and they turn to slimming centres and weight loss supplements. I often tell my friends that the best weight loss program is a 7-day detox of just pure juices, water, steamed or fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and nothing processed. This person I read about who was a Texas Truck accident lawyer did a 14 day detox and lost 20 pounds.

If you have chosen exercise as a holistic way to lose weight, there are many options to choose from including aerobics, joining a gym, buying a set of Mari Winsor Slimming Pilates video and more. These options require time, commitment and sacrifice on your part but you can be sure of a nicer body and a more holistic approach to weight loss. For those who need supplements and healthy diet snacks to keep those calories down, make sure the ingredients are natural and contains nothing to affect your health.

Watch Our Diet During Holidays

June 4, 2010 By dorischua Leave a Comment

In a few days’ time, I’m off for a short break from the daily routine and I am looking forward to it. Holidays are a perfect time to enjoy and chill out with families and friends. It’s also great for some ‘me-time’… this can also be a holistic treatment for those who are living stressful lives. But holidays should also be a time where we need to watch our diet and not go overboard in our indulgence.

Having said that, people tend to over indulge and overeat during holidays. If you are the kind who keep to a fitness routine, you might end up worrying about the increasing waistline. You can still stay healthy and fit by savoring all the good food during your holidays. Here are some things to take note:

• Sometimes we go off track from your fitness program during holidays. The mindset of people is that since we follow our fitness regime all week / month / year long, we can indulge in gorging over those cakes and ice creams. Aim to stay on track with your fitness program this and all other holidays. By skipping workouts, eating more, exercising less one tends to gain weight. Itís like going back where we started off from. Make a decision to stay in shape with all the food around you.

• If you skip one day of exercise, don’t lose heart. Get on with it the next day. Nothing goes waste. One day of holiday in your fitness schedule should be a motivating factor for you to get back on your fitness regime. Perhaps increase your ab workouts repetitions the next day and don’t look back.

• Control your food portion size during meal times. Eat your favourite foods in moderation. Overindulgence will show around your waistline.

With a little of planning, a proper goal setting and a dose of discipline and control over your desires, you can enjoy the holiday season while staying in great shape throughout.

Healthy Diet Snacks and Metabolism

June 4, 2010 By dorischua Leave a Comment

Contrary to many popular beliefs, no food doesn’t necessarily mean no weight gain at all. In one of the alternative therapies talk, I learned that yo-yo dieting id something to avoid as it doesn’t do your metabolism a favor. Instead, healthy diet snacks are the way to go if you want to keep a healthy metabolic rate.

Weight & Inches Meal Replacement Shakes
$14.95
When you put your body into a starvation mode, it will conserve energy by burning calories slower to compensate for less food. In order to increase metabolism, eat your breakfast. Research has shown that eating breakfast can increase metabolic rate by 10%. Then the next question will be: Are you eating a healthy breakfast? Keep your breakfast healthy with sugar free cereals, wholegrain bread or fruit to start your day.

Crisp 'N Crunch Protein Bars By WonderSlim
$10.99
So before blaming your extra pounds on a ‘slow metabolic rate’, think about what you are doing to your metabolic rate. Healthy and regular snacks can avoid getting into the ‘over hungry’ scenario and ensure that your metabolism works well. My friend used to keep a few diet snacks in her mmf drawer so that she can get a good mix of carbs and protein. This is sure better than overeating when you become ‘over hungry’. Choose healthy diet snacks if weight loss is your goal and be sure to keep them small too.
