Foods that are stopping you from losing weight

Jul 17, 2019

1644

Belly fat is the hardest to lose and it can be more difficult for you if you are eating the wrong foods. So let's find out what are the steps you should not eat when you want to lose belly fat.

Fruit juice

If you are drinking fruit juice instead of eating fresh fruit, this may be one of the reasons why you are not losing your belly fat it is always better to have a glass of freshly squeezed juice instead of a packaged fruit juice. Consuming fruits is far better than drinking fruit juice. Fruits come with so many health benefits but when you juice it, you are losing the fibre and leaving sugar behind. When you buy packaged or bottled juice, you are definitely drinking added sugar. It is always better for you to the whole fruit because it will ensure that you get the nutrients as well as the fibre and that will help you to maintain a healthy gut microbiome. If you want a really healthy, filling snack, you can always have an Apple and you can also dip it in protein-rich peanut butter to get more out of it. You can also have a fruit salad as a snack whenever you hungry.

Processed meat

When you consume processed meat, you increase the risk of piling up more fat to your waist line. When you consume bacon and burgers, you need to know that they are not good for your waistline and also for your overall health. Processed meats can also be inflammatory and they can cause different types of inflammation in the body. They will also add a layer of fat around the gut. Instead of processed meat, you can always go for oily fish like Salmon, which is good for your heart health as they provide omega-3 fatty acids.

Ice cream

Instead of ice cream, you can always have Greek yoghurt. You should always be wary of the free sugar available in different foods. We often crave for a combination of fat and sugar, but for your own good, it is better to ditch sugar and find a healthy alternative. There are many healthiest sugar alternatives available such as Greek yoghurt. You can have Greek your with grated apple and a pinch of cinnamon. Instead of your ice cream tub, you can have a bowl of frozen yoghurt with cinnamon and berries.

Crisps

Crisps are definitely very tasty and a little bit of that may not cause much harm but if you're eating a big family pack each and every time you lay your hands on it, maybe it is time to change a habit. If possible it is always better to completely stop buying them because they are often packed with salt. When you consume more salt, it will increase the risk of bloating. At the same time they also contain high levels of saturated fats and you don't want them in your body because they will cause many health problems.

You can always eat nuts instead. They are full of protein and good fats and they will keep you full for a long duration. It will also help you to improve the quality of your diet without putting on any extra weight. It will reduce your risk of weight gain. However, you should be careful about the quantity you're consuming because they are pretty high in calories.

Keto diet is an ultra low carb, high fat diet which helps you to lose weight quickly. However, losing weight is not the only benefit you will receive from keto diet. It will significantly impact your body and will change your body in a big way.

You lose weight fast

If you're to lose weight, keto diet will help you to lose weight fast. Many people are attracted to keto diet because of this reason only. If you want quick and aggressive fat loss, you need this that. However, keto diet is not a starvation diet and you want to preserve as much muscle as possible when you are on this diet. You will feed your body at least as many calories as it demands. When you start losing weight, it'll motivate you further to keep on the diet and thereby lose more.

Your brain will be supercharged

Many people who go on a keto diet report improvement in cognition function. This specially experience improvement in verbal and memory skills. Fat is a known brain for and it can really increase cognitive function if you include more monounsaturated fats like olive oil, nuts and seeds.

Better insulin sensitivity

When you eat simple carbs like sugar and carbohydrates, your body experiences an energy rollercoaster. When you eat more sugar and starchy foods and carbs, your blood sugar levels cause very high and they can cause insulin resistance. When insulin resistance happens, your body cannot use insulin effectively to keep blood sugar in control. When you are on a keto diet, you cannot consume sugary or starchy foods and carbs and as a result of that blood sugar levels will rise slowly. This is a very good condition for people who have blood sugar issues or type 2 diabetes. Keto diet will appear insulin sensitivity and will thereby help you to control your blood sugar levels.

You will burn the internal fat in your core

When you go into ketosis as a result of a keto diet, you'll be able to lose the internal fat present in your core. The fat in your core is known as visceral fat and it mostly resides in the trunk surrounding your liver, stomach, kidneys and other organs. If you have too much visceral fat, it may result in higher risk of heart attack, heart disease, stroke and other such medical problems. Most commonly visceral fat results in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. When you go into ketosis, your body will start burning this fat first. At this point of time, you will see that your body weight is going down even though you do not see any external changes in the body composition. It happens because your body is burning the internal fat for fuel first.

How to gain muscle for thin people

Jul 15, 2019

1358

If you are thin and you want to gain more muscle mass, three important steps will help you to play in more muscle mass and look better in the process. Let's find out how you can gain more muscle and look better by following three simple steps.

Step 1- find your daily calorie sweet spot for muscle gain

You are probably confused about what to do, what to eat, went to be and how much to eat because there is so much information available on diets that are contradictory to each other and so they make it very difficult to understand what you need to do to gain muscle the single most important factor in your entire nutrition plan is that you need to manage your overall net energy balance. It means the number of calories you consume every day versus the number of calories you burn.

If you want to gain more muscle, you will need to create a calorie surplus and it means you will need to consume more calories than your body uses. When you do that, you will have additional energy which can be used for building new muscle tissue. You will need high-quality protein, carbohydrates, and fats in a well-balanced ratio. However, you will need to remember that your body can only make use of a limited number of extra calories every day for building new muscle.

Step 2-focus on training for strength, not the size

When you want to build muscle, then why should you focus more on strength and not size? Let's find out what happens when you go to the gym and try to build more muscle. When you go to the gym and train with weights, you are breaking down your muscle fiber and creating small micro tears within the tissue. That forces your muscles to respond by going back larger and stronger when you rest. So if you want to continuously build your muscle mass and keep it increasing every week, you will need to steadily increase the stress by gradually adding more weight to your exercises over time. If you are a beginner, building up a solid strength foundation using compound lifts is the most powerful thing you can do, which will transform your body quickly. It will help you to get a training log book and begin writing down your workouts every time you go to the gym.

Step 3-stop using the wrong supplements

If you want to get the maximum help from supplementation in improving the overall effectiveness and convenience of your muscle building program, you will need to know the right way of using the right supplements. You should be careful because most of the products, that have created the multi-billion dollar a year industry of supplements, are a complete and total scam. If you are over-dependent on supplements, it'll take your focus off the things that are most important in your program, which proper training and nutrition. You need to take just a select few supplements which may provide you with an extra edge in and out of the gym. However, such selection should be research backed so as to avoid any harm to your health and to your bank account.

How would you know if you have ovarian cyst problem?

Jul 13, 2019

1311

If you are suffering from ovarian cyst problem, how do you know that? Are there specific symptoms which will tell you that you are suffering from this problem?

You have awful pelvic pain

If you are suffering from pretty awful pelvic pain, this can be an indication of possible ovarian cyst problem. It is one of the most common symptoms of the problem. You will feel pain in the lower right or left side of the pelvis. This is the place where the ovaries are. The pain does not go away. You may feel it at any time, when you exercise and even when you are sexually active. The pain may stay even after your menstrual cycle goes away.

Feeling full all the time

If you are feeling full all the time, it can be because of ovarian cyst. Such cysts can cause a feeling of happiness in the abdomen. It not only occupies space, but also put pressure on your stomach. If you have cysts on both the sides of your pelvis, it may be because you have cyst in both ovaries. If the feeling continues for 2 to 3 weeks, it is important to visit a doctor to get an examination done for ovarian cyst.

Going to pee all the time

If you have this feeling that you need to go pee and this happens all the time, you may need to see a doctor to rule out the possibility of ovarian cyst. You may feel the urge to pee all the time but sometimes you can't go. It happens because the cyst pushes against your bladder and makes you feel like you have to urinate. You may have the field to go more frequently but it can be harder to go because of the blockage by the cyst. In that case, you should see a doctor immediately.

Super bloated feeling

If you have a super bloated feeling, it can be an indication of ovarian cyst. Only swelling may not be an obvious symptom but it can be related to ovarian cyst depending on the size. Most women have cysts under 10 cm but some of them can grow very big and some can reach the size of a watermelon. At the abdominal pain and bloating may be a result of lots of mass gain in the stomach. If you're gaining more weight without any apparent reason, it can be a red flag and you should see your doctor.

It hurts during sex

If you do not want to have sex because it hurts during sex, then can be a symptom of ovarian cyst problem. Sex should never hurt, but if it does, then it means there is a problem. When you're having vaginal sex and you feel pain on one side versus the other, it can be because of an ovarian cyst. Sometimes when a cyst becomes too big, it can fall behind the uterus and it can position itself right by the cervix. In that case, you will always feel pain with deep penetration.

Bleeding at unusual time

If you are experiencing bleeding outside of your normal cycle, it can be a symptom of ovarian cyst. When they develop, they can mess with your hormones and can result in irregular bleeding because of frequent ovulation or a lack of ovulation.

The risks of taking sleeping pills

Jul 13, 2019

1563

There are many pills available for treating insomnia but you should be careful while using them because they have many side effects and they can cause different types of problems in your life. Even though they may seem like the perfect sleep aid for you as they help you to slip into a restful sleep within a few minutes, they commit significant risks and side effects.

Can quickly build up a tolerance

When you continuously take prescription sleeping pills, over time your body will grow accustomed to the medicine. When that happens, you will need higher and higher doses to get the same effects or to go to sleep. Then you can take a higher dose, but many do that it can result in depressed breathing while you sleep and can also result in death. If you want to minimise the risk for this side effect, you should not take sleeping pills for longer than a week or two. You can use sleeping pills if you have a short-term sleep disorder and you need to re-establish normal sleep patterns but to not continue to use them longer than 7 to 10 days.

Erratic behavior

Another prominent side-effect of taking a sleeping pill is erratic behavior. We all do strange things in our sleep and the same thing can happen when you take sleeping pills. Some kinds of sleeping pills can result in side effects like sleepwalking and amnesia. Even when you wake up, you won't know where you are. If you experience strange behaviour while taking the sleeping pill, you need to talk to your doctor because you may need a different medicine or may need to completely stop using it.

Drowsy driving

If you take some of the sleeping pills , you may have enough of the drug in your body in the morning which may impair activities like driving. If you're taking an extended release form of the medicine, you may be particularly at risk. Women are at a higher risk than men and that is why doctors can really lower the recommended dose for women. The effect of the drug can really carry over into the daytime and you may have next day drowsiness problem. If that happens, you should follow your doctor's dosing instructions. You should never take a sleeping pill if you do not have at least seven hours to devote to sleep.

Cancer and death

People who take prescription sleeping pills are more likely to die or get cancer in comparison to people who do not take them. A scientific study done in 2012, published in BMJ Open found this. However, more evidence is necessary for a conclusive decision.

Falling down

Studies found that hospital patients who took certain sleeping pills wherefore times more likely to fall than those who did not take the medicine during their hospital stay. The balance of the entire body is dependent on too little feet. The sensors present on the feet constantly measure your centre of gravity and weight you are. When you take sleeping pills, the medicine dulls the system and as a result of that you fall down. Older patients are more at risk for this problem when they use sleeping pills.

Fat loss hormones and how to use them to lose fat

Jul 12, 2019

1553

Insulin

Insulin is a hormone which is produced by the beta cells of your pancreas. It is secreted in larger amounts of the meals and in small amounts probably. Because of this hormone the cells can take in the blood sugar for energy or storage. It is also the main fat storage hormone in your body and it tells fat cells to store fat. Insulin can also prevent breakdown of the stored fat. If your cells are insulin resistant, the blood sugar and insulin levels will go up in your body. Such a condition can result in different types of health problems like obesity and metabolic problems. When you overeat, and specially eat more sugar, refined carbohydrates and fast-food, they cause insulin resistance in your body.

You will need to avoid or minimize sugar consumption including fructose and sucrose. You will also need to reduce carbohydrate consumption and go for a low carb diet. Include more protein in your diet as it will raise insulin in the short-term. Ensure that you are adding healthy fats like omega-3 fatty seeds in your diet. You will also need to exercise regularly as that will improve insulin sensitivity after a few weeks.

Leptin

Leptin is a hormone produced by your fat cells and it is known as a satiety hormone� which helps you in reducing your appetite and makes you feel full. It communicates with the hypothalamus, which is the portion of your brain that regulates appetite and food intake. Leptin will signal your brain to stop eating when there is enough fat in storage. People who are obese or overweight generally have high levels of leptin in their blood and it can be as high as four times as in people of normal weight. Because of leptin resistance leptin signaling is impaired and the stop eating message does not reach the brain as a result of which obese or overweight people keep overeating.

You will need to avoid inflammatory foods like sugary drinks and trans fat. At the same time you will need to eat more anti-inflammatory foods like fatty fish stop exercising regularly will also improve leptin sensitivity. Getting enough sleep is essential in reducing leptin levels and increased appetite. It can also take some supplements like alpha-lipoic acid and fish oil to lose more weight.

Ghrelin

Ghrelin is known as hunger hormones. When you have an empty stomach, it will start releasing ghrelin, which will signal the hypothalamus and it will in turn tell you to eat. Ghrelin levels are generally highest before eating and lowest an hour after you had a meal. In case of obese and overweight people, fasting ghrelin levels are generally lower than people of normal weight. In such people, the level of ghrelin decreases slightly after eating a meal. Because of that the hypothalamus does not receive a strong signal to stop eating and so obese and overweight people tend to eat more than necessary.

You will need to avoid high-fructose corn syrup and sugar sweetened drinks because they can impair ghrelin response after meals. You should also eat more protein at every meal specially breakfast if you want to reduce ghrelin levels. Reducing ghrelin levels will increase satiety and you will stop eating more than necessary.
