Discover what to eat to lose weight
Knowing what to eat to lose weight is one of the keys to successful weight loss
that lasts. A sensible diet that is both content rich with nutrients and has good
taste is one that is easy to stick to and will create the weight loss results you
desire. Sometimes choosing a diet with food selections that aren’t good may be
a way to lose a little weight but it’s not one we will stick with because we don’t
like what we’re eating and we tend to not be committed to the diet as a result.

Understanding what to eat to lose weight involves having access to good
nutritional information such as a diet plan or diet program that spells out what
you should and should not eat. Many foods that taste good are not good for you
and in order to lose weight you have to eliminate those foods from your diet.
Some foods that have a little taste but low calories and stimulate your
metabolism can be cooked in a manner that makes them taste great and you can
eat more of them so that you feel full and satisfied with your eating.

time to explain not only what to eat to lose weight but the portions of those
foods to eat, when to eat them and what type of weight loss you can expect.

state of mind can be the result of knowing what to eat to lose weight and eating
those healthy and good tasting foods on a regular basis, which directly affects a
natural good feeling.

How to succeed with your healthy eating weight loss plan
If you need to lose weight, you’ve probably looked at some healthy eating
weight loss diets and groaned in disappointment each time. You’ve looked at
diets that are supposed to be good for you while letting you lose weight. Some
claim you can eat things like fatty cheeseburgers and even fatty milkshakes
(made with sugar substitutes). While other diets claim that you can eat
whatever you want as long as you keep your fat intake low. But chances are
that they all restrict or forbid something you really enjoy, and you’re not
looking forward to going without that favorite food.
BO
O
KS
What some people overlook is that you don’t necessarily have to follow a
healthy eating weight loss diet that someone else claims is the best. You can
figure out how to eat on your own. The first step is to look at how you’ve been
eating. Obviously, if you need to lose weight you’ve been following a diet that
provides you with too many calories. If your diet is healthy overall but you’ve
been eating too many calories, then you might not even need to change the way
you eat much at all. Increasing your daily exercise could be enough to help
you lose weight.
C
If your diet needs an adjustment to become a healthy eating weight loss plan,
though, you should look at the parts of your diet that seem unhealthy and adjust
them. If you make too big a change from the way you like to eat, you’re setting
yourself up to be unhappy with your new diet plan. Instead, try to incorporate
the things you enjoy into your new plan.
D
Your healthy eating weight loss plan might not be able to include doughnuts 3
or 4 times a week like you’ve been eating. But the occasional doughnut as a
treat might be acceptable if it fits within your allotted calories for that day.
You might be able to have a substitution for a doughnut a couple of times a
week, though. A whole grain bagel with fruit-flavored low-fat cream cheese,
for instance, is a sweet treat that you could enjoy instead of a doughnut. It
might give you the same satisfaction while remaining healthier and truer to
your healthy eating weight loss plan.
If you eat a lot of sweets like chocolate, you can still enjoy them in moderation.
Dark chocolate can be part of a healthy eating weight loss plan. Dark chocolate
contains more antioxidants that many fruits and vegetables. So try dipping
some of your favorite fruits like bananas, pineapple or strawberries in some
Shortly thereafter I was watching the Dr. Phil show and he was talking to
people just like you and me. You know the "fat ones". He told those folks they
had to stop believing they couldn't lose weight. Right then is when I realized
that was precisely what was stopping me. I believed I can't lose weight.
As I continued to listen to Dr Phil what he said made more and more sense. To
make a long story short what he said was I had to believe I could lose weight
and that I would have to change my lifestyle to accomplish my weight loss
goals. The fact is I started that very day.
KS
My first step was to go to my doctor and have him check me out to make sure I
could start an exercise program without killing myself. Then I contacted a
friend from my church and we became accountable to each other for each
reprogramming our mind and reaching our weight loss goals.
O
Now here's the fun part, we began to challenge each other in our goals,
changing our lifestyle (eating habits) and progressing from a slow walk to a
faster walk. Today we are up to 3 miles in just under 36 minutes.
BO
Was this easy? Heck No! But I have lost 53 pounds and my friend has lost 47
pounds. The important thing is we have gotten it off and kept it off for more
than a year. I'm now working and my family has allowed me back into their
life. Is everything rosy, no but it's a whole lot better than it was.

I'm living proof you cant lose weight is a myth. You need to search your mind,
dig deep into your gut, get a plan together and stick to it.

Daniel diet – biblical fasting as described in the bible
The Daniel Diet is not simply a fad diet to lose weight. Instead, it is a spiritual
commitment that may result in a drop in pounds. But, first and foremost, it is
designed to improve your relationship with God.
KS
The Daniel diet is based on a verse from the Bible. Daniel 1:18 says, “Daniel
proposed in his heart that he would not defile himself.” At the time, the
Hebrews were living in exile in Babylonia. Daniel was an adviser to the
Babylonian king.
O
The Babylonian king ate all kinds of foods restricted to Jews. This included
non kosher foods, wine, and foods and drinks that had been offered to idols.
BO
The modern day Daniel diet popularized by author and pastor Rev. Elmer
Townes does not require that you follow the same program that the Biblical
Daniel did.
C
The Daniel fast is not a full fast. You are allowed to eat whole grains, legumes,
fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and water, fruit juices and vegetable juices.
D
You must specifically avoid all meat, white flour or white rice, fried foods,
caffeine, carbonated beverages (including diet soda), alcohol, foods with any
preservatives or additives, refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup, chemical
sugar substitutes like equal, and margarine, shortening or any product with
animal fats.
Before you begin the diet part of the Daniel fast, you need to prepare spiritually
through prayer. Make a commitment to stay on the diet for a specified period
and publicize it by writing it down and telling your family, friends and faith
partners what you have promised God you will do.
You will also need to prepare yourself physically for the diet. If you are
addicted to caffeine, it is a good idea to wean yourself off of coffee or soda for
two weeks before starting the Daniel diet. Also, begin reducing meat
consumption ahead of time so that this is not a shock to your system.
The length of time you stay on the Daniel Diet depends on you. Remember,
this is not primarily a weight loss plan but a spiritual redemption. Some people
make a commitment to stay on the fast for the rest of their lives. Many
churches are doing a church-wide Daniel fast for 21 days encompassing 4
Sundays. This stems from a 21 day fast that Daniel recounted in Daniel chapter
10. Other people fast for the entire 40 days of Lent. However, you can do the
Daniel fast for as little as 7 days and see results.
Some people report that they do a one day a week complete fast as a sacrifice
to the Lord.
KS
Here are some tips to help you be successful on the Daniel Diet.
BO
O
1.
Be specific about the amount of time you will spend on the diet.
2.
Use the fasting as a spiritual commitment not a weight loss plan.
3.
Use your external discipline to reflect your internal desire.
4.
Pray and ask God to show you what sin’s role is in your physical
problems.
5.
Use your fast as a testimony to others.
6.
Use your fast to learn the effects of the food you eat on your body.
7.
Give praise to God for whatever successes you have on the Daniel Diet.

Carb pills how to have carbohydrates on the adkins or
south beach diet
If you are trying to go on a low carbohydrate diet such as the Adkins Weight
Loss Plan or the South Beach Diet and find that you have trouble reducing your
carbs, you may want to try anti carb pills. These are not actually medicinal
products but rather dietary supplements made from all natural ingredients not
chemical blends.
The reason carb smart diets such as Adkins and South Beach stay alive despite
all of the negative media publicity is that they work. But, too many people find
that they have trouble minimizing the amount of carbohydrates they consume
for a long period of time. That is where the carb pills come in.
While more recent variations of the low carb diets have allowed more
carbohydrates in the form of whole grains, it is still tempting to have a cookie
from time to time. The carb pills absorb excess carbohydrates in the diet by
blocking the carbohydrates consumed from being absorbed in the body.
One of the carb blocking ingredients in the pills is made from white bean
extract. They are 100 percent natural and safe to consume.
It is best to take a carb blocking pill right before eating a carb heavy food or
meal. They can also be taken during or after the meal, but this has a reduced
effectiveness.
O
KS
Here is how the carb pills work on the body. Fat accumulates in the body
when carbohydrates are broken down by alpha amylase, which is an enzyme
produced in the pancreas. When you exert yourself through exercise or daily
energy, these carbs are burned off. However, if you take in more carbs than
you burn, you will store the excess as fat.
BO
Carb pills prevent the fat by preventing the excess calories from being
converted through blocking the digestive enzymes from acting on them. This
means that the major portion of the carbs are passed through the system
without being absorbed.
D
C
So, do carb pills work? The scientific community has not really taken up this
question because the major pharmaceutical companies fund most of the
research. As the carb pills are not produced by these pharmaceutical firms,
researchers have not found it worth their while to “independently” evaluate the
pills.
However, the companies which produce carb pills have produced their own
studies. They have shown that in the short term at least, the carb blocking pills
do in fact keep up to 45 grams of carbohydrates from being absorbed in the
system.
There may be some side effects from using the carb blocking pill. These
include gastrointestinal distress, heartburn, excessive gas and diarrhea.
The two most common brands of carb pills are Carbo Lock and Ultra Carb.
These pills can be expensive – a 30 day supply typically retails for $30. If you
buy the products in larger quantities, you can often bring the daily cost down.
If you want to have the benefits of a low carb diet but occasionally indulge in
carbohydrate rich foods or meals, you might want to consider investing in carb
pills which block the carbohydrates in a pasta dinner or piece of chocolate cake
from turning into fat.
Weight loss and exercise for diabetics
KS
I'm sure you are quite aware of the fact that if your overweight your odds of
developing Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes goes up dramatically. You also know
that we aren't talking about a few extra pounds; we are talking about 20 plus
pounds. In other words we are talking about being obese. One of the best ways
for you to have weight loss and lower the odds of being diagnosed with
diabetes is exercise. Exercise for diabetics is critical.
BO
O
Although Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented exercise is a phenomenal way to
help control insulin sensitivity throughout the body. The exertion brought forth
by the exercise causes the muscles to burn the glucose more efficiently. But a
great side effect of the exercise will cause your metabolism to speed up, which
in turn will burn calories thus helping your body to shed those extra pounds.
D
C
You should know that even though Type 1 Diabetes cannot be prevented, it is
possible to prevent Type 2. One of the first steps you must take to prevent it is
commence a weight loss program that combines exercise and healthy eating.
You should then follow up step 1 with the proper vitamins and herbal
supplements, which in turn reduce insulin sensitivity and help in maintaining a
healthy weight.
Recent studies have determined that a 30 minute walk every day can
dramatically decrease the possibility of an overweight person contracting Type
2 Diabetes. The natural swing of the arms and legs will increase the circulation
to the heart and lungs. This in turn will reduce the chances for heart disease and
help avoid the possibility of losing circulation in the lower extremities. This is
a deadly side effect of diabetes.
Diabetics and overweight people often suffer from high blood pressure. This as
you know causes a shrinking of the blood vessels and restricts blood flow to
the extremities of the body, particularly the lower ones. Exercise of course
lowers the blood pressure and in doing so opens the blood vessels. Thus
