History of Body Building - Where Did it All Start?

Starting in the 1980's people have become significantly more aware of the importance of their health and physique. They spend huge amounts of money on the creation of a perfect body. Statistics show that body building supplements sell like crazy, personal trainers are making good money and gyms pop up everywhere.

Whey Protein Power

But where did it all start? The history of body building as a sport starts approximately a century ago. Eugene Sandow gets the honor of having invented the sport. The father of body building invited spectators to watch his muscular body. Displays of strength and agility became the center of his stage performance and he showed the ultimate Grecian physique. Soon he became very popular and used his fame to build various businesses and started marketing body building products. The first exercise equipment for the masses bears his name. Sandow's name is also connected with 'The Great Competition', the first ever body building contest, held in London. You could say it was the early version of the Mr. Olympia.

Whey Protein Power

Ironically, World War II gave body building a boost. Men had to defend themselves and their families and their behavior became more aggressive. They wanted to stand up against the enemy and began to build a bigger and stronger physique. More time was spent on improving training techniques, better nutrition and the first effective and more user friendly training equipment was built.

Body building became an organized sport and leading organizations like the IFB, International Federation of Body Building, were founded in these days. The popularity of the sport hasn't stopped growing since then. The famous Arnold Schwarzenegger gave the sport a real boost. In the 1990's female body building made it's entrance and now has its own Ms. Olympia competition.

Milk and Egg Protein Shake

Both milk and eggs contain rich sources of protein. If you want to make your own protein shakes, you can do so at home with these ingredients. Here is how.

Whey Protein Power

Your blender.

Whey Protein Power

Don't be stingy when it comes to buying a blender. A good blender can last you for several years. Usually, for lower motors, the blade or the motor gets damaged easily. The blade gets damaged when you try to use the blender to cut hard rock items - like ice. The motor gets overheated when you use the blender for prolonged periods of time. This usually happens to less powerful motors because you need more time to blend. So buy a good blender for making your protein shakes.

Preparing ingredients.

Here is a recipe that you can use.

1 glass of low fat milk.
2 whole eggs.
1 frozen banana.
5 ice cubes.
1 teaspoon of Milo powder.
1 teaspoon of coffee powder.

Let's do a quick calculation of how much protein you will get from such a recipe. 1 glass of milk gives about 10g of protein (depending on the brand). 2 eggs will give you roughly 10g of protein. So that makes 20 grams of protein altogether. If this is not enough, you can consider adding one to two scoops of protein powder. But usually, this is enough for the average adult. The Milo and coffee powder are added for taste only. Don't add too much. Just a teaspoon for each will do.

The above recipe will give you a nutritious protein drink that tastes like Mocha.

High Protein Diet & Foods For Muscle Building

High protein diets have always been popular with athletes. Their popularity increased tenfold during the past 5 years with the introduction of the low carb type diets to the public that include high protein foods.

Whey Protein Power

Regular people who do not exercise can eat moderately high protein foods. On the other hand athletes and people on muscle building diets must eat at least 1gram per lb of bodyweight in order to build muscle. A high protein diet is the staple of bodybuilders. Bodybuilding athletes always include a high protein food source in their daily diet.

Whey Protein Power

High protein foods you can include in your diet are:

Turkey breast

Chicken breast

Lean cuts of red meat

Lean cuts of pork

Fish (most fish is high in protein)

Eggs & Egg Whites

Skim Milk

Low fat cottage cheese

Protein powders & bars

Whether you are going for muscle building or fat loss, a high protein diet plan can certainly help you either way.

If you are trying to build muscle, you need a high protein intake in your daily diet in order to recover from workouts and build muscle tissue. Protein provides the building blocks for muscle and without it muscle building and growth simply will not occur. During weightlifting and hard training, muscle tissue is broken down. In order for that muscle tissue to be rebuilt and grow stronger, we need to eat a diet high in protein. It's pretty simple.

If fat loss is one's goal, a high protein diet is also an absolute must. Most high protein foods are very low in carbs and saturated fats. Therefore by eating high protein foods in your diet, you also also eating quality low calorie foods. In order to accelerate the fat loss process, reducing carbs and overall calories is usually recommended. High protein foods can help you in achieving that.

An average person who trains hard and weighs 180lbs requires a minimum of 180grams of protein in his diet per day. This means at least 1gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. Anything less and muscle building/recovery will not be optimal. Some hard training athletes consume up to 2 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight in order to accelerate the muscle building process. This is not recommended for most people who require a moderately high protein intake. The total amount of protein taken every day should be spread over 5 to 6 meals throughout the course of a day.

Timing of high protein foods is also very important. You should be consuming high protein foods at all times but more for your breakfast, post workout meal and before-bed meal. Start your high protein daily diet by giving your body good quality protein to start the day. Then, right after your workout, consume a protein shake that will help kick start the muscle repairing process. Last but not least you have your before bed meal where you must consume a slow digesting form of protein (casein mostly) that will give you a steady release of high quality amino acids throughout the night.

Eating high amounts of protein in your diet can be very demanding. It requires a lot of time to cook high protein foods like chicken and turkey. The best way to get all of your protein is to use protein powders. Protein powders are extremely high in protein and they are very convenient to use. Just one small scoop of protein can provide 20-24 grams of the highest quality protein available. Make sure you choose your high protein supplements wisely. Do not get caught up in the marketing frenzy of magazines. A tub of high quality protein should not cost you more than at any given time.

If you decide to embark upon a high protein diet, make sure you include a lot of vegetables and fibrous carbs with your meals in order to help protein digestion. Try to eat at least two salads per day and/or steamed vegetables. Furthermore, try to stay consistent with your high protein diet, day in day out, in order to keep a steady influx of aminos to your muscles. Always remember that if you are not eating enough protein & calories in your diet, your body will use existing muscle tissue to repair itself.

What Can I Use to Replace the Bars in My LA Weight Loss Diet?

Many people are looking to replace La Weight Loss bars with another brand of bars or a food substitution. There are many popular substitute bars such as Luna, Balance Bar Trail Mix, Power Bar, Honey Stinger, CLIF Nectar, LaraBara and Bumble Bar, Pria, and Go Lean. The cost of LAWL bars seems to be the main driver, but that can easily be overcome by buying your bars on eBay. But there is also the need for some variety and some people just can't find a bar to their liking. So, if you are looking for a substitute, here are some alternatives. Just remember, by not eating the required 2 La Weight loss bars a day, you void the money back guarantee offered by La Weight Loss Centers.

Whey Protein Power

If you feel you don't need the bars you can exchange 2 equivalent bars for 1/2 protein, 1 vegetable, 1 fruit, and 1 starch. Stay focused on upping your vegetable intake while lowering processed flours and sugars.

Whey Protein Power

If you are looking for a bar replacement, look for a bar that has about 160-180 calories, 17 grams of carbs, at least 8 grams of protein, and 4 grams of fat.

Here's the general nutritional info on the LA Weight Loss Bars:

Serving Size: 1 Bar (40g)
Amount per Serving
Calories 160 Calories from Fat 45
% Daily Value *
Total Fat 4.5g 7%
Saturated Fat 2g 10%
Trans Fat 0g
Cholesterol 5mg 2%
Sodium 85mg 4%
Total Carbohydrate 24g 8%
Dietary Fiber 1g 4%
Sugars 18g
Protein 8g 16%
Vitamin A0%
Vitamin C0%
Calcium4%
Iron6%

Below are the most common substitutions for La bars. The information is a general guideline for substitution. Read the nutritional information on the back of any bar you are considering to be certain that the weight loss bar falls within the general nutrition counts for the La bar you are substituting.

Luna bars are reported to be the closest to the actual LAWL bars in nutrition. Many consider the Luna bars a direct substitute for the LA bars. So you eat two a day just as you would normally with the La Weight Loss bars. The Luna bars in particular (as opposed to other brands of protein/diet bars) make a good substitute because they are similar in calories (around 180) and protein (8-10 grams). Any bar that meets those two basic guidelines can be used.

Luna - Nutz over chocolate
Calories: 180
Calories from Fat: 40
Total Fat: 4.5g
Saturated Fat: 2.5g
Cholesterol: 0mg
Sodium: 100mg
Potassium: 105mg
Total Carbohydrate: 24g
Dietary Fiber: 2g
Sugar: 12g
Protein: 10g

Slim Fast Bars are a low calorie meal replacement, the bars are usually 250-260 Calories, which is a little more than a candy bar, but packed with more whey protein and less refined sugar.

Balance bars are very similar to protein bars sold by most companies. The balance bar is made by the same company that provides weight loss centers with their bars.

Kinetix bars are cheaper, have more protein, less calories. Similar in texture size and taste as the La Lites, Kinetex have about 4X's the sodium that the LA Lites have and 2X's the amount of protein, so you would have more protein than you are allowed on the plan.

Kinetex - Chocolate Peanut Crisp
Calories 170
Fat 4g
Cholesterol 2mg
Sodium 320mg
Potassium 55mg
Carbohydrate 17g
Protein 17g

Kashi Go Lean bars. They have about the same nutritional value as the La Lites.

South Beach cereal bars. They are similar in most counts, but have less calories, less carbs and more protein. There are two kinds of SBD bars just so the newbies know there are the cereal bars that are around 140 calories, and there are the meal replacement bars which are around 200-220.

Zone bars they are fairly close in calories/protein. Zone Perfect bars score better on the value scale (more protein per calorie). However, they are higher in calories overall.

Zone Perfect - CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER
Serving Size: 1 bar (50g)
Servings Per Container: 12
Each bar contains 2 Zone Blocks:
Calories: 210
Calories from Fat: 60
Total Fat: 7g
Saturated Fat: 3g
Cholesterol: 5mg
Sodium: 360mg
Potassium: 100mg
Total Carbohydrate: 20g
Dietary Fiber: 0g
Sugar: 13g
Protein: 16g

There are a lot of energy bar articles, threads and posts, but they all seem to be either about snacks, or about how awful energy bars are. It would seem like someone should be able to manufacture the equivalent of a healthy, balanced meal replacement bar that tastes great. But, if what you want is a no thought required, eat this one thing twice a day meal substitute that you don't have to worry about and lose weight, then it would just be easier to buy La Weight Loss bars on eBay. The prices on eBay are as good or better than the cost of other bars and you will still be eligible for the money back guarantee offered by La Weight Loss Centers.

How to Gain Weight With A Very Fast Metabolism

For those who are trying to gain weight with a very fast metabolism it can feel very frustrating to feel like no matter how much you eat you still can't gain a single pound. While those who are trying to lose weight would love to be in your position, the reality is that it is equally annoying to feel like you would look better with a few extra pounds of muscle as it is for an overweight person who would like to lose a few pounds of fat. The secret to gaining weight with a very fast metabolism is rather simple. Below I'll reveal to you how to gain weight with a very fast metabolism.

Whey Protein Power

Write Up A Weight Gain Plan

Whey Protein Power

Writing up a weight gain plan is crucial to gaining weight since a plan guides you every step of the way to gain weight. A plan has the power to motivate you in times of hardships such as complacency, laziness, self-doubt and lack of enthusiasm.

Your weight gain plan should outline how much weight you would like to gain, a deadline to gain that weight, what foods to consume as well as how many meals you'll consume per day, what exercises to use and how many days you'll exercise. By writing up your own weight gain plan you'll be a lot more focused on your goal of gaining weight.

Consume Smaller Meals Frequently

The trick to eating more food is to consume smaller meals frequently throughout the day rather than your typical 3 meals per day approach. By consuming smaller meals frequently throughout the day you'll eliminate force feeding yourself, uncomfortable bloating, nauseousness and blood sugar spikes. Focus on consuming high protein, high calorie foods to build muscle.

Use Compound Resistance Exercises

To gain weight you must build muscle by using compound resistance exercises. Compound resistance exercises are exercises which recruit multiple muscle groups. This in turn stimulates a flood of muscle building hormones such as IGF-1, HGH and Testosterone. The best exercises for building muscles include push ups, pull ups, chin ups, parallel bar dips, pistol squats, deadlifts, bench press and barbell squats.

Use Supplements Wisely

For those of you who are using supplements to aid their weight gain make sure to use them according to the instructions on the bottle. Many assume that using a greater dosage equals greater gains however this is a myth as the body can only extract a certain amount of nutrients before eliminating the rest.

One must also remember that supplements are there to supplement instead of replacing your intake of food. Supplements you'll benefit the most from include whey protein, creatine monohydrate and multivitamins. The further along you progress with gaining weight the more you can experiment with other supplements.

Go to Bed Early

This is often the most overlooked aspect of gaining weight as it doesn't involve any effort. The truth is you actually build muscle outside of the gym especially while you're asleep. When your body is at rest it has the best opportunity to repair your muscle tissue thereby making them larger in the process.

While there's still debate as to how much sleep you should be getting I personally feel that around 6 - 8 hours of sleep is adequate. Interestingly the hours you sleep before midnight are higher in quality than the hours after midnight thereby the old adage of "early to bed, early to rise" still holds true.

Male Sex Drive After 40 - Regain Your Libido With Foods and Supplements

Most of us are almost settled by the age of 40 but somehow there seems to be something missing in life. That desire to have sex does is not as string as it used to be and there are times when sex does not excite you anymore.

Whey Protein Power

I am sure, you would agree with men when I say that most men begin losing their sexual appetite as they turn 40. There are a whole lot of reasons behind that. Increased stress levels, lack of physical activity, years of alcohol abuse etc., all take a toll on your libido. But more importantly, it is changes in your body that trigger a dip in libido.

Whey Protein Power

Testosterone is the hormone that governs sexual function and potency in men and the production of this male sex hormone begins slowing down once you cross 30.

Though it declines at a minimal rate of 1% a year, over a decade it sums up to a loss of 10% or even more.

Testosterone loss is aggravated by factors like stress, reduced psychical activity etc.,

A dip in testosterone not only robs you of your sexual appetite but also leads to erectile dysfunction, weak muscles, increased body fat and weight gain, mood swings, depression etc.,

However, eating right foods and following a healthy lifestyle can ensure increased testosterone production, a healthy libido and proper erectile function.

Diet Changes to ensure increased Testosterone Production:

Increase your protein intake- proteins like eggs and whey are extremely helpful in increasing your testosterone production. Moreover, animal protein is the best source of zinc that is one of the key minerals that promote testosterone production. It is the presence of zinc that makes oysters a great aphrodisiac. Include Zinc in your diet- Apart from oysters and animal protein like lamb, beef etc. foods that contain zinc include poultry and dairy products etc. Essential Fatty Acids are a must- Essential fatty acids like Omega 3 are highly crucial for testosterone production. Low levels of fat in your diet can lead to reduced testosterone production. This is because all anabolic steroid hormones are produced in cholesterol. Some great examples of such foods include oily fish like salmons, sardines, olives and olive oil etc., Not only do such foods help boost testosterone production but also help unclog your arteries and ensure increased blood circulation. Avoid too much carbohydrates- You must limit your intake of carbohydrates. This is because they increase the level of insulin in blood which affects testosterone production adversely.
Lifestyle Changes:

Sweat out at the gym- Working out the gym regularly is a great boost for testosterone production. Compound exercises are the best ones as far as increasing testosterone is concerned. Weight bearing exercises are known to boost your T-levels. Reduce Stress- It goes without saying that stress is one of the major psychological issues that leads to low testosterone production, reduced libido and erectile dysfunction in men. Best ways to reduce stress is with the help of relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation etc., Deep breathing also helps. Exercise is also a great way to relieve yourself of stress. Sleep for at least 8 hours- Sleep deprivation results in high stress levels and takes a toll on your T-levels and libido. Ensure that you sleep at least 8 hours a day. Avoid Smoking and Drinking Alcohol- Alcohol is a suppressant and after consuming it your system becomes occupied to clear it out of your system. One of the effects of alcohol is reduced libido. Smoking again restricts blood flow to the penis which not only reduces sexual appetite but also leads to impotence.
Herbal and Natural Supplements

Herbal or natural supplements can give a much needed thrust to your sex drive and testosterone levels. These herbal supplements increases blood flow to the penis, boost testosterone levels, reduce stress, increase energy and stamina so that you can enjoy more satisfying sex.

But more than that, they provide a complete body makeover for men. Such supplements not only enhance testosterone but also help increase the production of HGH which helps you overcome and combat age effects.

These supplements combine the power of herbs like ginseng, ginkgo, tribulus terrestris, long jack, muira pauma etc., and other nutrients like l-arginine and minerals like zinc which are extremely important for your sexual as well as overall health.

Find out more on the most widely acclaimed and highly popular Natural Testosterone Supplements that not require a prescription and have helped thousands of men over 40 regain their sex drive so that they can enjoy satisfactory and fulfilling sex.

Making Homemade Weight Loss Shakes

If you find that commercial weight loss shakes are costly and you are not sure about their ingredients, then try making homemade weight loss shakes instead. Homemade weight loss shakes are one of the most popular weight loss supplements because anyone can make them as long as you have the right ingredients, a blender, and some ice. In fact, they may even be helpful for some people compared to other weight loss products being sold in the market.

Whey Protein Power

Simple but healthy

Whey Protein Power

Homemade weight loss shakes are simple and easy to make because they do not require any cooking. When you use fruits or vegetables as your main ingredients for homemade weight loss shakes, you can get a healthy serving of all the vitamins and minerals all in one beverage. Furthermore, it can also serve as a replacement for other meals.

Common ingredients

Sometimes, you may need other ingredients to add to your homemade weight loss shakes. It will depend on the type of nutrients your body needs and the kind of energy boost that you want. Here are some common ingredients that you can add to your shake:

o Fruits - these are helpful in getting rid of toxins from the body while providing antioxidants.

o Yogurt or low-fat milk - for your dose of vitamin D and calcium.

o Protein powder - for easier and faster digestion of your food while keeping you full for longer periods of time.

Other ingredients

Additional supplements and vitamins can also be added into your homemade weight loss shakes. Examples are bee pollen, black cohosh, ginko biloba, and dandelion. These ingredients promote healthy liver functions, cleansing of the intestines, more energy for exercise, prevention of fatigue, and prevention of allergies.

The benefits: vitamins and minerals

Freshly made homemade weight loss shakes are good sources of vitamins and minerals that pair up with co-enzymes and enzymes. These vitamins make the enzymes work and without them, our bodily functions will stop.

Enzymes

This is because enzymes work as catalysts in several chemical reactions happening inside our bodies. These chemical reactions are important to carry out digestion and the absorption and conversion of food to body tissue. Furthermore, enzymes are able to produce energy that are important for metabolic activities in our bodies.

The benefits: better vitamin and mineral absorption

When you drink homemade weight loss shakes, your body tends to absorb more vitamins and minerals coming from the fruits or vegetables you added in them, compared to eating them as a whole. This is because a lot of nutrients are trapped within the fiber present in the whole fruit or vegetable. However, by placing them in the blender, you break down the fiber to release the important nutrients.

You need vitamins and minerals

Even when you are on a diet, you still need the right amount of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that your body can take so your organs can still function properly. Furthermore, without the proper dose of those essential nutrients, you can become malnourished. Malnutrition can cause a lot of deficiency disorders and diseases, so make sure that your body is still getting its recommended daily dose of nutrients coming from healthy fruits and vegetables that you can eat whole or blended into homemade shakes. Here are more benefits of the vitamins and minerals you can find in fruits and vegetables:

1. Stronger nails and hair

2. Smoother skin

3. Essential compounds needed for health, physical well-being, metabolism, and health.

4. Maintain bone strength and bone density.

5. Regulation of blood clotting.

6. Aiding the functions of muscles and nerves.

7. Regulation of your heart beat.

8. Reducing risks on heart attacks and strokes.

Tips and tricks for making shakes

To start making your homemade weight loss shake, make sure that your vegetables and fruits are juiced raw. Depending on the fruit, small fruits with seeds can be placed into the blender with the seeds, like pears and watermelons. However, if you are using apples, grapefruit, oranges, nectarines, peaches, or papaya, make sure to remove the seeds or large pits.

Peeled and ripe

Make sure to pick ripe and fresh fruits and vegetables. If they are bruised, wilted, over-ripe, under-ripe, or even rubbery, the shake will end up tasting bad. If the fruit or vegetable is not grown organically, peel off the skins since all the chemical residues can be found on the surface. If you are using pineapples, grapefruit, papaya, kiwis, and oranges, make sure that you also remove their skins.

More tips with the blender and mixture

Vegetables and fruits should be cut into pieces that can easily fit your blender. If they get stuck under the blade while blending, use a spatula to remove the jammed ingredients before proceeding to blend. If your shake is blended evenly, add 2 ice cubes and keep adding them once in a while until it sounds smooth. However, if your blender cannot blend the ice cubes well, substitute them with cold water or cold fruit juice instead. Finally, if your shake is too thin, add more ice or fruit, and more liquid if it is too thick.

Testosterone Side Effects

Testosterone is an androgenic hormone produced chiefly by the testes. It is responsible for the growth of secondary sex characteristics in men. A small amount of testosterone is present in the body of women also. The deficiency or excessive amounts of this hormone causes many side effects in the human body. Many debates have been conducted among scientists and healthcare professionals on the side effects of testosterone.

Whey Protein Power

Almost all unwanted side effects of testosterone are caused the androgenic properties of the hormone. The usage of synthetic testosterone helps people with HIV-related wasting gain weight.

Whey Protein Power

A man with testosterone deficiency experiences decreased sex drive, moodiness, and fatigue. Testicular function deceases with age. This phenomenon is usually found in men after the age of thirty. The supplementation of the hormone sometimes tends to slow down the body?s natural ability to produce testosterone. This is the major side effect found in men.

Vomiting, nausea, swelling of the arms and legs, yellowing of the skin and eyes, and prolonged and painful erections are the early signs of serious side effects. Using excess amount of artificial testosterone causes serious allergic reactions such difficulty in breathing, swelling of the tongue, lips, or face. In women, hoarseness, male-pattern baldness, deepening of voice, excessive hair growth, and menstrual irregularities are the main side effects. Prolonged use of testosterone in higher doses may result in shrinking of testicles, gynecomastia (breast growth in men), decreased or increased sex drive, and a number of less serious side effects such as acne, decreased sperm production in men, clitoral enlargement, male pattern baldness, and water retention. Liver damage and cancer are the other serious side effects caused by testosterone.

How to Lose 15 Pounds in 2 Weeks Or in a Month

There is nothing in the world that is bigger than the happiness you get in keeping your body in a shape that is envied and admired by others. When you have a good looking physique and a stable health condition, there are hardly little things in the world that can make you worry. Excess weight needs to be dropped off in order to maintain a good body shape. It is those stray calories and food molecules which are getting pouched in various tissues of the body that contribute to the additional weight. This article covers ideas that will help you lose 15 pounds effectively.

Whey Protein Power

Food Proportion

Whey Protein Power

The food proportion that you intake is an important variable in your weight loss equation. The size of your physique, your hands and the food proportion in your plate are all interrelated. The food portion you consume must be in accordance with the size of your body. Surely, size of your hands is going to be in concurrence with your body size. With this consciousness, see to that you intake limited portions of food when you eat with your hand. Take smaller portions of food even when your hands are of bigger size.

Appetite Levels

Understanding your body mechanisms will help you go a long way to lose 15 pounds. Studying about internal mechanisms is possible by deep concentration and realization. It is no wonder when you can hear sounds of enzymes dripping in the various cavities of your body when you sit relaxed. Be aware of the stages of hunger levels in your body. Assume the first level as the starting sensation of your hunger. The next level would be the peak hunger level and the final level is the satisfaction of your hunger feeling after you intake food. Observe the duration for which these things happen in your body every day. It requires greater concentration levels to understand this stuff and you should not be distracted by any means like television or other people interacting with you. Understanding, analyzing and taking actions to reduce the calorie intake by a small extent such that your hunger levels are well inside limits is a very positive stride to achieve the goal of losing excess weight.

Breathing While Walking

Walking is a good cardio exercise which you can do for duration of twenty minutes for five days in a week. Rest of the two days, you can give time for your body to cope up with the replenishment process where lean muscles get generated. It is good breathing while walking that quickens the metabolic rate in the body. Inhale more of fresh air through your nose and exhale through your nose. Breathing should be synchronous with the pace of your walking. Taking rapid breaths should be avoided. It is better not to sing or speak while you are doing walking as an exercise. Listening to music is not a bad option but remember to breathe properly when you do this excellent cardio exercise. This breathing will result in increasing the body metabolism and thereby contributing to lose 15 pounds.

Sort out Resources

You can easily abolish your cravings and temptations by chucking out a few items from your kitchen. When you do not stock your fridge and shelves in kitchen with fatty food, fried chips and other canned juices, you will not have any temptation or craving to finish them off by emptying those cans into your stomach. This may seem a silly idea but in most cases it has worked out well. When you are still longing for that one can of soft drink, you may still have to walk out to the shop and we all know walking is a good physical activity.

Elude your Tongue

Taste and the calories in the food are not related by any means. Food can be tasty as well without high calorie contents. Say for example, those ice creams and milk shakes with sweetness possess high calorie content in them. This can be replaced with skimmed milk chocolate milk shake which gives you the same degree of sweetness with low calories in hand. You can save upto a maximum of 300 calories going into your stomach. With this, you have prevented the body metabolism from getting subdued. If you make it a habit to search food contents that are good substitutes for high calorie foods and consume them, it would be a definite mile stone to achieve in terms of avoiding unnecessary calories.

Do not complicate

Complicating things and shying away from the weight loss plans is a common scenario that happens to a lot of people. Keep things simple. You have to exhaust calories that you consume. Physical exercises are handy options for this and restricting over eating habits and avoiding high calorie saturated food are other good options. Keep sailing in the boat of weight loss plans until you reach the shore of losing the desired pounds. Experimenting and questing deep into the plans will distract your objective and you will find yourself in a feeble situation where you may have to start all over again from the scratch.

Learning to Avoid

Avoidance is the best practice rather than taking few food items and pushing your body to exercise more or pushing your internal mechanisms to increase rate of metabolism. Certain foods are meant to be avoided such as those of fatty foods, saturated oils, fried foods and foods with preservatives and added flavors. This is an effective mechanism by which you will lose the craving totally with your mind getting blazed with the thoughts of losing weight and getting your body into the perfect shape. Try to discard these things from your diet from the day you start thinking about implementing weight loss plans.

Tapping Hormones

Hormonal imbalance is also a reason for weight increase. When there is no coordination of hormones in the internal mechanisms of digestion, food is bound to get partially digested and get stored in the body. To stabilize the hormones, it is proven that when you spin around in a circle, like the kids do, you would see positive results. Do not rule out this option as exercises are not everything to decide your physique. At the same time, do not complicate things in the study of hormonal imbalance. Be easy with your approaches and go as per your plans.

Lemon Water Fasting

When starvation is definitely not an idea to lose weight, you can try out lemon waster fasting which is very simple. This lemon water fasting will transform your digestive mechanisms to a new level adding more power to your weight loss strategies. Select a 12 hour period or even more and consume no foods. For the whole period of time, take spring water with fresh lemon squeezed added to it. The colons and your stomach cavities get cleansed with this kind of fasting and you will see that your body metabolism goes on a high when you finish fasting and start consuming foods. This fasting method can be attempted once in ten days and will give you a good impetus to lose 15 pounds at a faster pace.

Sugar contents

Sugar in your diet should be restrained as much as possible. Those soft drinks, diet sodas, processed fruit juices have profuse amounts of sugar content in them. Sugar has high calories which will bring down the metabolic rate in the body. When the rate of metabolism is slow, fewer calories get depleted and other calories that still remain in the body get converted into fats. These fats are responsible for obesity and belly fat accumulation. To control all these negative effects and to push yourself in having a good body shape, the amount of sugar you consume every day should be restricted. Add less sugar to the tea and coffee that you consume. Do not consume sweets more than thrice a month.

All the above prescribed methods have brought great results in the past. 15 pounds is definitely a reachable amount of weight to lose in a short period of time. Allow your body to cope up and then replenish energy constituents with good quality foods. These tips are indeed applicable universally irrespective of food habits and zones across the globe. Put these things in your thought process and start taking steps to lose those extra 15 pounds.

Artificial Sweeteners: What's Good, What's Bad, and What to Use

Diabetes and Artificial Sweeteners

Whey Protein Power

Artificial sweeteners are an important part of a diabetic diet. Many diabetics have to use sugar substitutes rather than sugar, in order to maintain low blood glucose levels. There are many different kinds of artificial sweeteners, and it is important to know the differences in each. As with any diet, the best advice is moderation. Using artificial sweeteners in moderation has no ill health effects. Diabetics can also consider eating foods with natural sugars, such as fruit.

Whey Protein Power

Aspartame

Aspartame is one of the most common artificial sweeteners. Aspartame is made with two amino acids: phenylalanine, and aspartic acid. Aspartame is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). People with phenylketonuria (PKU) cannot ingest aspartame in any form. Phenylketonuria is a genetic disease that is tested for at birth.

Aspartame was originally linked to brain cancer in rats, but the FDA has noted that it takes large amounts to cause cancer. Moderation is the key to aspartame use. One of the dangers of aspartame is that is made with formaldehyde, which is actually poisonous. Aspartame breaks down into its components while in your body, and as such, it is not a non-caloric sweetener.

Aspartame behaves generally like sugar, but might react with other ingredients. NutraSweet and Equal are both made with aspartame. Aspartame can be used in food and as a table-top sweetener.

Cyclamates

Cyclamates are banned in the United States. They are currently waiting for re-approval from the FDA. Cyclamates were linked to cancer in rats, but later studies disproved this. It can, in exorbitant dosages, cause testicular atrophy. Cyclamates are legal in over 50 countries, including Canada.

Saccharin

This is the oldest artificial sweetener, discovered in 1879. Saccharin has been linked to cancer in animals, though many scientists argue over whether or not it is carcinogenic. Saccharin has been banned in Canada, and in many other countries. In the United States, saccharin is still used in food. Some health experts argue that saccharin is used because it is twenty times cheaper than sugar: industry has been postponing Congress' ban and moratorium on saccharin for thirty years.

Saccharin can have a slightly bitter aftertaste, which can be masked. Saccharin is found in Sweet'n'Low.

Sucralose

Sucralose is the newest artificial sweetener. It is found in the brand Splenda. Sucralose is a non-caloric sweetener, because it passes through the body unchanged.

Sucralose is created by adding three chlorine compounds to sugar (where the hydroxyls normally are).

Some agencies (including the Sugar Association) claim that Splenda has not yet undergone enough testing, though most scientists agree that it has been tested extensively.

Polyols

Polyols are sugar alcohols, and as such, are not exactly artificial sweeteners. Polyols are found in low concentrations in fruit. These are often used as food additives. Ones that you might see frequently are sorbitol, lactitol, malitol, and xylitol among others.

Polyols are safe to eat; however, if eaten in large quantities, they can cause some uncomfortable (but not life-threatening) gastric side effects: they act as a laxative and can cause discomfort.

Conclusion

Regardless of which artificial sweeteners you elect to use, consult with your doctor or dietitian first. There are many controversies surrounding most sugar substitutes, and the research is often polarized. The general rule of thumb is that moderation is the key.
