Weigh Less Eat More

noreply@blogger.com (http://hugehealthtips.blogspot.com/) — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 21:56:00 +0000

Image by jackiebese via FlickrHave you tried to lose weight by cutting down the amount of food you eat? Do you still feel hungry and not satisfied after eating? Or have you avoided trying to lose weight because you're afraid of feeling hungry all the time? If so, you are not alone. Many people throw in the towel on weight loss because they feel deprived and hungry when they eat less. But there is another way. Aim for a slow, steady weight loss by decreasing calorie intake while maintaining an adequate nutrient intake and increasing physical activity. You can cut calories without eating less nutritious food. The key is to eat foods that will fill you up without eating a large amount of calories.
If I cut calories, won't I be hungry?
Research shows that people get full by the amount of food they eat, not the number of calories they take in. You can cut calories in your favorite foods by lowering the amount of fat and or increasing the amount of fiber-rich ingredients, such as vegetables or fruit.
Let's take macaroni and cheese as an example. The original recipe uses whole milk, butter, and full-fat cheese. This recipe has about 540 calories in one serving (1 cup).

Here's how to remake this recipe with fewer calories and less fat:
* Use 2 cups non-fat milk instead of 2 cups whole milk.
* Use 8 ounces light cream cheese instead of 21⁄4 cups full-fat cheddar cheese.
* Use 1 tablespoon butter instead of 2 or use 2 tablespoons of soft trans-fat free margarine.
* Add about 2 cups of fresh spinach and 1 cup diced tomatoes (or any other veggie you like).
Your redesigned mac and cheese now has 315 calories in one serving (1 cup). You can eat the same amount of mac and cheese with 225 fewer calories.
photo of macaroni and cheese with 315 calories
What foods will fill me up?
To be able to cut calories without eating less and feeling hungry, you need to replace some higher calorie foods with foods that are lower in calories and fat and will fill you up. In general, this means foods with lots of water and fiber in them. The chart below will help you make smart food choices that are part of a healthy eating plan.
These foods will fill you up with less calories. Choose them more often… These foods can pack more calories into each bite. Choose them less often…
Fruits and Vegetables
(prepared without added fat) Fried foods
Spinach, broccoli, tomato, carrots, watermelon, berries, apples Eggs fried in butter, fried vegetables, French fries
Low-fat and fat-free milk products Full-fat milk products
Low- or fat-free milk, low or fat-free yogurt,
low- or fat-free cottage cheese Full-fat cheese, full-fat ice cream,
whole and 2% milk
Broth-based soup Dry snack foods
Vegetable-based soups, soups with chicken or beef broth, tomato soups (without cream) Crackers or pretzels, cookies, chips, dried fruits
Whole grains Higher-fat and higher-sugar foods
Brown rice, whole wheat bread, whole wheat
pastas, popcorn Croissants,margarine, shortening and butter,
doughnuts, candy bars, cakes and pastries
Lean meat, poultry and fish Fatty cuts of meat
Grilled salmon, chicken breast without skin,
ground beef (lean or extra lean) Bacon, brisket, ground beef (regular)
Legumes (beans and peas)
Black, red kidney and pinto beans (without added fat), green peas, black-eyed peas
A healthy eating plan is one that —
* Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat free or low-fat milk and milk products.
* Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts.
* Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.
* Stays within your calorie needs.
Technically speaking…
The number of calories in a particular amount or weight of food is called "calorie density" or "energy density." Low-calorie-dense foods are ones that don't pack a lot of calories into each bite.
Foods that have a lot of water or fiber and little fat are usually low in calorie density. They will
help you feel full without an unnecessary amount of calories.
Here are some more ideas for cutting back on calories without eating less and being hungry:
Instead of... Try...
Fried chicken sandwich
Fried chicken sandwich
with 1 tbsp. mayonnaise
= 599 calories Grilled chicken salad
Grilled chicken salad
with low-fat dressing
2 cups lettuce, 2 oz. grilled
chicken breast, 2 tbsp. light
balsamic vinaigrette dressing
= 178 calories
Cream-based soup
Cream-based soup
1 cup mushroom bisque
= 400 calories Broth-based soup

1 cup minestrone
= 112 calories
Chips or pretzels
Chips or pretzels
1.5 oz. pretzels
= 162 calories Baby carrots with hummus
Baby carrots with hummus
16 baby carrots with 1 tbsp. hummus
= 75 calories
Good things can come in big packages!
People eat more than they realize when faced with large portion sizes. This usually means eating too many calories. But, not all large portions are created equal. Larger portions of water- and fiber-rich foods, like fruits, vegetables, and broth-based soups, can fill you up with less calories. Start with an appetizer. Research shows that if you eat a low-calorie appetizer before a meal, you will eat fewer total calories during the meal. Start your meals with a broth-based soup or a green salad without a large amount of cheese, or croutons.
For more on portion sizes, see How to Avoid Portion Size Pitfalls to Help Manage Your Weight.
Fruits and veggies: keep it simple!
Most fruits and veggies are low-calorie and will fill you up, but the way you prepare them can change that. Breading and frying, and using high-fat creams or butter with vegetables and fruit will add extra calories. Try steaming vegetables and using spices and low-fat sauces for flavor. And enjoy the natural sweetness of raw fruit.
For more on fruits and vegetables, see How to Use Fruits and Vegetables to Help Manage Your Weight.
What about beverages?
While drinking beverages is important to good health, they don't help you feel full and satisfied the way food does. Choose drinks without calories, like water, sparkling water, or unsweetened iced tea. Drink fat-free or low-fat milk instead of 2% or whole milk.

11 Tips to Boost Your Metabolism

by: Andrew Bicknell

Boosting ones metabolism is something many people try to achieve everyday. Having a high metabolic rate increases the amount of calories, or energy, the body burns on a daily basis. Without optimal metabolism the body will store excess calories as fat for future use. The problem for many people is they don�t ever use these excess calories and as a result struggle with weight issues.

There are many factors that affect a person�s metabolism including age, weight, hormonal changes, lean muscle mass, diet, genetics, stress and the amount of physical activity undertaken on a daily basis. As you can see boosting your metabolism involves many factors, but the fact of the matter is that it is relatively easy to boost your metabolism if you are committed to doing so.

Here are 11 tips to help you boost your metabolism:

1. Build lean body mass. As we age our bodies metabolism or ability to burn calories decreases. One way to offset this problem is by exercising. Lean muscle burns calories and the more you have the more calories you burn, even while resting. You can build muscle through resistance or weight training at least twice a week. You can also boost your metabolism by doing cardio exercises. You can choose to do this between or in conjunction with weight training. Simply going for a walk or using the stairs instead of the elevator are good ways to get in an aerobic workout.

2. Eat Breakfast. Many people ignore eating breakfast. What they don�t realize is that it�s the most important meal of the day. Breakfast gives your metabolism a boost and provides a consistent energy supply throughout the day. The majority of people who eat a healthy breakfast have fewer weight and health issues than those who don�t.

3. Sugar is bad. Processed and refined sugar such as found in sweets and soft drinks overload the body with sugar causing many serious health issues including obesity and diabetes. Complex carbohydrates are a better energy source because they supply an even level of blood sugar. The human body just isn�t built to deal with the large amounts of refined sugar most people include in their diet.

4. Spicy foods that make you sweat can help boost your metabolism.

5. Get a good night�s sleep. There is research that shows that people who do not get sufficient sleep tend to gain weight. This may be because the body uses sleep to heal and regenerate itself, including its muscular system.

6. Drink more water. Water is the lubricant of the body. It also flushes toxins out of the body and keeps the kidneys operating at maximum efficiency. This allows the liver more time to do what it does best, metabolize fat stores.

7. Eat small meals. Eat 5 to 6 small meals per day spaced 20 to 3 hours apart. This gives the body a steady supply of energy and prevents binge eating.

8. Don�t miss meals. Skipping meals in order to loose weight is counter productive because it actually slow metabolism and can lead to over eating.

9. Plan your meals. If you have a daily or weekly menu you are much more likely to stick to your plan.

10. Drink green tea. Green tea has been shown to boost metabolism and unlike coffee does not stress the body with caffeine.

11. Include more high energy foods in your diet including fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These provide a more balanced energy source and will not cause blood sugar spikes.

Boosting your metabolism can be done if you are dedicated to doing it. This does not mean you need to stress over each little thing but if you eat right and exercise you should see a decrease in body fat and a much more energetic and happy you.

"The Terrible Truth About Diet Pills and Drugs"

noreply@blogger.com (http://hugehealthtips.blogspot.com/) — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 18:56:00 +0000

by Dr. Frank B. Smoot, MA, DD

I'm not a medical doctor, nor do I play one on TV. But my education and years of experience have taught me plenty about diet drugs. I also keep current with journals, textbooks, and magazines, and I can tell you that I have yet to see a single article or study that has anything positive to say about the overall effects of diet drugs.

The potentially dangerous side-effects of diet drugs and pills has, fortunately, gotten a great deal of publicity. In the opinion of many healthcare professionals, both prescription and herbal products can be extremely risky.

Yes, some drugs produce losses in body weight. But this loss consists largely of water. Many diet pills--be they prescription or "natural"--have dangerous side effects as well. Let's remember that, just because a substance is "natural," doesn't mean it's healthy. Many plant and animal substances are toxic to humans, and some are lethal. (Poison-tipped darts are 100% "natural.".)

Any diet pill can have unhealthy side effects. If you follow your doctor's prescription perfectly, your health may not be at risk. But many people don't follow doctors' orders very well. And even doctors may not get all the "downside" information from the drug companies.

Diet pills will also cost you $40-$60 a month until you run out of money, or your doctor says you've had enough. And remember, the weight-reducing effects of diet pills disappears the day you stop taking them.

In fact, you typically gain back more weight than you lost. That's because many diet pills only suppress hunger, which is almost never the real reason we overeat (more about that later). So even when physical hunger is satisfied, all of the other reasons for excess eating (especially the psychological and emotional ones) are still there--waiting to bust your diet.

All diet pills can really offer you is a quick, expensive, possibly dangerous, and ultimately very frustrating way to lose a few pounds...temporarily. Wouldn't it be much smarter to use an approach that leads to safe, effective and permanent weight control, without any negative health consequences? Of course it would. And that's exactly what we're going to do.

Since it's clear that we're not going to get any meaningful answers from the diet, fitness, and healthcare industries, it becomes our own responsibility to get a hold of the truth. And the first, most powerful, most important truth you must understand is this:

You Didn't Fail At Your Diet…The Diet Industry Failed You!

Please, please let that statement sink in. If you have ever felt even a single moment of guilt or blame because you couldn't "stick to your diet," you really need to hear what I'm telling you. It wasn't your fault! You can't possibly lose weight by doing what doesn't work.

Remember, we now spend more than $5 billion a year on diets and related weight loss products--only to rewarded with a pathetic 4% success rate! But "they" are supposed to be the experts, the ones with the answers, right? So how come they keep telling us to do the same old things that have been proven not to work? (Well, it might have something to do with that $5 billion.)

Of course, it's not just the Diet Industry that promotes weight loss misinformation. They're just the easiest group to identify. The Fitness Industry is just as much a part of the problem, wild-eyed claims and all. Yet nine out of ten of the machines we buy are seldom used after the first few weeks. Most of them soon become dust catchers whose ultimate destiny is a yard sale.

The Diet and Fitness industries are locked in a constant battle for the hypiest headlines and most outrageous claims Yet even though both have horrible track records, they still get us to spend billions of dollars on "solutions" that don't work.

In fact, just in America, we're now spending $45-50 BILLION a year on weight loss. And what do we have to show for it? Our own government statistics reveal that:

• An incredible 96% of all weight loss end in failure.
• We gain back a heartbreaking 95% of the pounds we do manage to lose.
• Obesity has now replaced heart disease as America's #1 health concern!

Clearly, it's time for a different approach !

Building Muscle: How is it really done?

Darren O Connell

Most people believe that in order to build noticeable muscle size, they have to devote many hours in the gym, 5 or 6 days a week for many years. This is untrue, yes, hard work is required, but to devote that much time is unnecessary.

Substantial muscle growth can be achieved with 40-minute sessions 3 days a week, sometimes much less if done correctly. Muscles will only grow in size when they have fully recovered from the gym workout, then, and only then will muscle growth happen. If your goal is to achieve maximum muscle growth in the shortest possible time then there needs to be more rest days than actual workout days.

It's difficult for some people to believe that substantial muscle growth can be induced with only
2 or 3 days a week at 40 minutes a session, or less. It can be done and it is being done by many, however, there is a catch:

These "few and far between" gym sessions will have to be short and extremely intensive. More intense than ever, you have to justify your days off. You have to give your body a very good reason to grow bigger muscles. The sessions will be about what you thought you could not do, but somehow managed to do.

Eg: if you're lifting a certain weight and you know you can only get 8 reps, you will push yourself further than ever before and squeeze out another 2 reps of that weight, with the help of your training partner or someone else of course. You will need help with the last 2 reps but the idea is to execute a greater effort than you are used to doing, this creates the environment for greater muscle growth (all other things being equal).

Below is an example of an 8 Week "every other day" muscle building routine. It's an example of how short the training sessions should be. It can also be done taking 2 days rest in between training sessions. I am assuming that you have weight training experience behind you, and also that you are familiar with the jargon. If not, then I would not recommend that you push yourself too far until you have built up your strength and fitness level. You should always get the go-ahead from your GP or health professional before starting or changing any physical exercise program.

Warm ups are not included in the below.

Day 1:
Chest - 2 sets 10 reps 1 exercise. Use the same weight for your 2nd set.
Biceps - 2 sets 8 reps 1 exercise. Use the same weight for your 2nd set.

Day 2: REST.

Day 3:
Thighs - 2 sets 10 reps 1 exercise. Use the same weight for your 2nd set.
Hamstrings - 2 sets 8 reps 1 exercise. Use the same weight for your 2nd set.
Calves - 2 sets 12 reps 1 exercise. Use the same weight for your 2nd set.

Day 4: REST.

Day 5:
Shoulders - 2 sets 10 reps 1 exercise. Use the same weight for your 2nd set.
Triceps - 2 sets 8 reps 1 exercise. Use the same weight for your 2nd set.

Day 6: REST.

Day 7:
Back - 2 sets 10 reps 1 exercise. Use the same weight for your 2nd set.
Abdominals - 2 sets 10 reps 1 exercise. Use the same weight for your 2nd set.

Day 8: REST.

Day 9: Start again.

Notes:
You will need someone to help you for the last 2 or 3 reps of every set.
So if you're doing a set of 10 reps, the weight should be heavy enough to allow only 8 reps
on your own, and you will need help to get the other 2 reps to make it 10.
If you're doing a set of 8 reps, it's really only 5 or 6 reps that you can get on your own; help will be needed to complete the 8 reps.
Increase the weight every week, even if it's only 5lbs in total. Safety takes priority over ego.
On the 4th week reduce the rep range by 2 for all sets and continue.

The idea is to put forth a much greater intensive effort than you imagine you can. The reward for these infrequent efforts is, shorter training sessions and more rest days away from it and of course much Greater Muscle Growth. Many people are now achieving greater results through smarter training methods, spending less time in the gym with more free time to enjoy other activities. Excessive hours and days in the gym is, at last! No longer the way to go.

6 Tips to Living Longer: Balancing Your Body's pH

by: Stan Howard

Scientists armed with a mounting body of evidence and research from across the world are waging war on what they claim is the biggest killer in the West--an overly acidic body.

The theory goes that whenever the body burns fuel it creates acidic toxins as a by-product. Many scientists now believe that high build-ups of these acid wastes can be a primary cause of chronic disease, overweight and aging.

Live longer by following these six simple tips to re-balance your body's acid-alkaline levels ("pH"):

Live Longer Checklist

--Drink ionized alkaline water
--Eat an acid-neutralizing diet

HEALTH BENEFITS OF ALKALINE DRINKING WATER AND DIET

Various studies reveal that a balanced body pH has been shown to:

--Reduce heart disease in a town in Finland by 22%
--Reduce insulin dependence in North American type 1 diabetes patients by 83%
--Reduce arthritis pain, linked to chronic build-up of uric acid
--Reduce risk of cancer (cancer cells flourish in an acidic environment)
--Slow the aging process. Aging starts when the body stops getting rid of internally generated wastes and toxins.

Studies and research suggest that even mild acid-waste build-up can cause:

--Cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels and the reduction of oxygen -- so important for healthy cells
--Weight gain, obesity and diabetes
--Bladder and kidney conditions, including kidney stones
--Immune deficiency
--Acceleration of free radical damage, possibly contributing to cancerous mutations
--Hormone concerns
--Premature aging
--Osteoporosis: weak, brittle bones, hip fractures and bone spurs
--Joint pain, aching muscles and lactic acid build-up
--Low energy and chronic fatigue
--Slow digestion and elimination
--Yeast / fungal overgrowth

TIP 1 - DRINK ALKALINE WATER

Each cell in your body can only function as well as the fluid it is surrounded by -- like a fish in a bowl. So the cleaner and less acidic the liquids in your body are, the healthier you're likely to be.

Considering that the body eliminates acidic waste through body liquids in four different ways -- respiration, urination, perspiration or defecation, the key to good health means:

--Drink enough of the right type of water to hydrate the body properly
--Drink ionized alkaline water -- studies show it's twice as effective in flushing out acid toxins as bottled or filtered water
--As you get older, total water to body ratio decreases, making elimination harder. So you need to drink more.
--Same thing goes for when it's hot. Drink more.

TIP 2 -- DIET

Changing your diet can significantly reduce the level of acidity in your body. But if you can't cut out acid-producing foods, it's even more important to drink alkaline water.

Eat more of these foods that neutralize acidity in the body:

--Leafy greens and most veggies
--Most fruits including citrus
--Polyunsaturated fats found in seed oils (flax and hemp), fatty fish (seabass, tuna, mackeral, trout, salmon), coconut milk and avocado
--Okay proteins include chicken breast, tofu, and many seeds

Eat fewer acid-producing foods like:

--Animal protein (beef, chicken, pork and eggs)
--Dairy products
--Vinegar
--Soy sauce
--Mushrooms
--Corn
--Sugar
--Alcohol
--Coffee
--Peanuts
--Pasta

TIP 3 -- EXERCISE

Being overweight has nothing to do with fats or calories, according to some authors like Dr. Robert Young, author of the pH Miracle for Weight Loss. He believes putting on weight can be traced to a build-up of acid waste -- if it isn't eliminated, it parks on your hips, buttocks and elsewhere, so you get fat. Try the following instead:

--Exercise makes you sweat and breathe harder -- both processes eliminate toxins.
--Saunas also make you sweat. Take one often.
--Don't over-exercise. This causes a build-up of lactic acid that the body can't eliminate, so it's deposited as fatty tissue.

TIP 4 -- DON'T STRESS

--Relax. Anger and hostility have been shown to increase stomach acidity, which can lead to peptic and stress ulcers, or ulceration colitis.

TIP 5 -- STOP SMOKING

--Smoking also increase stomach acidity
--If you do smoke, the more acidic your body, the stronger your nicotine craving will be.

TIP 6 -- DRINK DURING AIR TRAVEL

The air inside airplane cabins is super-dry (less relative humidity than the Sahara desert), and can result in extreme dehydration, increased acidity and jet-lag.

--Drink at least 8 oz (quarter liter) of water for every hour you fly, especially long-haul frequent flyers.

Appreciation of healthy foods at healthy times.
A joyful relationship with food.
Enhancement of your natural judgement towards food selection.
An ongoing journey of getting in touch with your natural instincts - being true to your biology.

How to do Stage Three

The process of getting in tune with your instincts has begun. So lets explore further, and take it to another level.

How long to stay on Stage Three: As long as you like. And at anytime you can go back to Stage One or Two if you need to kickstart things again.
Every Morning: First thing upon waking - slam down a big cup of water. Your body will love it!
Every Day: Nurture any desire or craving you may have for natural unprocessed foods such as nuts, seeds, vegetables, oily fish and lean meat. Learn to graze on small amounts, and drink plenty of water.
Every Night: Feast on a healthy meal, rejoice in food, eat it with your hands if possible! Smell it and experience it as intimately as you can, for food is life!

Summary

Desiring healthy foods means that you have succesfully tuned into your instincts. The rest is easy, and incredibly enjoyable. It's all about training your body to love good food, and that's what the Caveman Power Diet does

Observations

By now you will have likely revolutionised your system, and returned to a natural equilibrium with food. Your instincts would have become sharper and your intuition towards food more accurate. Is there room for improvement?

Your body is now your guide - can you trust it? If not, you can further practise the Cavemen Power principles to help develop that trust in your judgment towards food. It's the most natural thing you can do, so think like an animal, and feast on life giving food

Congratulations - and welcome to your new, healthy life!

Stage Two Fat Diet

noreply@blogger.com (http://hugehealthtips.blogspot.com/) — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 06:03:00 +0000

If you have completed Stage One, your body will be getting used to your new eating patterns, and you are now ready for Stage Two.

What Stage Two aims to achieve

Increase the fat burning process.
Normalise insulin and blood sugar levels.
Break any carbohydrate addictions.
Reduce any bad cholesterol (LDL) in your system.
Detox your system on a daily basis.
Gently introduce your body to healthy foods, and help you to be instinctual with food.

How to do Stage Two

The process of getting in tune with your instincts has begun. So lets explore further, and take it to another level.

How long to stay on Stage Two

A minimum of 2 weeks, and a maximum of 8 weeks. You can actually do this stage for longer, but your goal should be to reach Stage Three in this time frame.

Every Morning

First thing upon waking - slam down a big cup of water. You will get that familiar 'brain rush' and your body will come to life rather quickly.

Every Day

Eat nothing... absolutely nothing. You will find this surpisingly easy after going through Stage One. Your body will be detoxing all day, which is great, so drink lots of water to help the process along.

Every Night

Feast on one meal of any size! Don't limit yourself to portions, let your stomach be the guide, and eat until you're full. Choose foods such as;

Meat, Birds (chicken) and Fish
Eggs (from free range birds).
Fruit (not too much though).
Vegetables (especially root vegetables, but definitely not potatoes or sweet potatoes)
Nuts, eg. Walnuts, Brazil Nuts, Macadamia, Almonds.
Berries - strawberries, blueberries, raspberries etc.
Root vegetables- carrots, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, swedes etc.

By this stage you are likely to be craving good foods - maybe not each day, but at least weekly you are likely to feel a strong desire for healthy nutritional food. The goal is to increase this desire for healthy foods.

Summary

Eating once a day allows you to detox for for the entire day, so you will really taste the before and after effects of eating food. This method quickly leads you to desire clean healthy food. This is a pyschological process that takes place without any willpower, it just happens. Are you desiring healthy foods?

Observations

Your hunger will have become less intense, but your energy levels will have increased. Less food = more energy
You may start to feel more sensitive to the smells, tastes, and effects of food. For example; the smell of a deep fryer will likely turn you off at times, and after eating starch or sugar you may notice the profound sedative effect it has on your body. This is because your blood sugar levels are becoming stable, and a burst of sugar or starch upsets that natural state which you have entered.
You may feel more emotionally potent than usual. This is due to the fact you are not sedating yourself by overdosing on food, particularly starches and sugars.
Your animal instincts are coming back. The mild famine you experience daily activates your body's natural instinct to hunt and gather, which means your senses are getting sharper and your mind clearer.

When to move on to Stage Three

The premise of Stage Two was to get you in tune with your body's instinctual craving for healthy foods, and to shed excess fat from your body. If you feel that you have acheived that, you are ready for Stage Three.
Stay tuned for stage three

Stage One Fat Diet

noreply@blogger.com (http://hugehealthtips.blogspot.com/) — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 07:11:00 +0000

Welcome to Stage One! During this stage we will be tuning our body in preparation for The Caveman Power Diet. Are you ready? If so, let's go!

What Stage One aims to achieve

Start the fat burning process, weight loss can begin immediately.
Help you to truly feel the effects that food has on you.
Increase your energy levels.

How to do Stage One

The first week will challenge you, but it's likely that you will enjoy the challenge because you will be rewarded daily with a feast!

How long to stay on Stage One: A minimum of 2 weeks, and a maximum of 4 weeks.
Every Morning: First thing upon waking - slam down a big cup of water. You will get a 'brain rush' and your body will come to life rather quickly.
Every Day: Graze lightly on small amounts of fruit and unsalted nuts during the day, not dried fruit (it's full of concentrated sugar). You will start detoxing immediately. Don't worry if you get a bit hungry, because at night you can feast as much as you like - focus on that as a reward for your day's efforts.
Every Night: Feast on anything you want... and as much as you want! Eat only once though - don't have multiple meals. It doesn't matter what time you feast, you can feast at 1am if that suits you, anytime is fine - welcome to Caveman Power.

Summary

In the beginning, you will feast once a day on anything you like. Go ahead and have Pizza, Burgers, Chips, whatever your heart desires. You will come to learn how much you really enjoy these foods... not much at all.

Observations

Eating anything you want will eventually lead you to crave healthy food.
Any excessive hunger will disappear entirely, as your body returns your stomach to it's natural state. After all, your stomach is only the size of your fist!
You may feel light headed for the first few days, particularly if you are excercising. This is a good thing! Your body is just burning fat instead of sugar, and the weight loss process has begun.
You may notice you have extra energy; because you're not sedating yourself with food. This is wonderful as it means you are becoming raw, energetic and vital. Embrace it fully, don't be afraid - you are alive!

When to move on to Stage Two

The premise of Stage One was to get you in tune with your body, and to stabilise hunger cravings. If you feel that you have acheived that, you are ready for stage two.
Stay tuned for stage two

INTRODUCTION TO THE PALEOLITHIC DIET

noreply@blogger.com (http://hugehealthtips.blogspot.com/) — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 00:42:00 +0000

UNUSUAL HEALTH TIPS
There are races of people who are all slim, who are stronger and faster than us. They all have straight teeth and perfect eyesight. Arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, depression, schizophrenia and cancer are absolute rarities for them. These people are the last 84 tribes of hunter-gatherers in the world. They share a secret that is over 2 million years old. Their secret is their diet- a diet that has changed little from that of the first humans 2 million years ago, and their predecessors up to 7 million years ago. Theirs is the diet that man evolved on, the diet that is coded for in our genes. It has some major differences to the diet of "civilization". You are in for a few big surprises.

The diet is usually referred to as the "Paleolithic Diet" referring to the Paleolithic or Stone Age era. It is also referred to as the "Stone Age Diet", "Cave Man Diet" or the "Hunter-Gatherer Diet". More romantic souls like to think of it as the diet that was eaten in the "Garden of Eden" and they are correct in thinking so.

The basic principles of the Paleolithic Diet are so simple that most high school students can understand them. Within 15 minutes from now you will grasp the major elements. At the technical level, Paleolithic Diet Theory has a depth and breadth that is unmatched by all other dietary theories. Paleolithic Diet Theory presents a fully integrated, holistic, comprehensive dietary theory combining the best features of all other dietary theories, eliminating the worst features and simplifying it all.

All major dietary components are covered- (i.e. vitamins, fats, protein, fats, carbohydrates, antioxidants and phytosterols etc). This is for the simple reason that it is the only diet that is coded for in our genes- it contains only those foods that were "on the table" during our long evolution, and discards those which were not. Have you ever wondered why almost everybody feels the need to take vitamin supplementsat times, or why so many people feel the need to "detoxify" their system? There are very real reasons for this that you will soon understand. Now, come with me, I’d like to share the secret with you...

Basics of the Paleolthic Diet Health Tips

For millions of years, humans and their relatives have eaten meat, fish, fowl and the leaves, roots and fruits of many plants. One big obstacle to getting more calories from the environment is the fact that many plants are inedible. Grains, beans and potatoes are full of energy but all are inedible in the raw state as they contain many toxins. There is no doubt about that- please don’t try to eat them raw, they can make you very sick.

Around 10,000 years ago, an enormous breakthrough was made- a breakthrough that was to change the course of history, and our diet, forever. This breakthrough was the discovery that cooking these foods made them edible- the heat destroyed enough toxins to render them edible. Grains include wheat, corn, barley, rice, sorghum, millet and oats. Grain based foods also include products such as flour, bread, noodles and pasta. These foods entered the menu of New Stone Age (Neolithic) man, and Paleolithic diet buffs often refer to them as Neolithic foods.

The cooking of grains, beans and potatoes had an enormous effect on our food intake- perhaps doubling the number of calories that we could obtain from the plant foods in our environment. Other advantages were soon obvious with these foods:

· they could store for long periods (refrigeration of course being unavailable in those days)

· they were dense in calories- ie a small weight contains a lot of calories, enabling easy transport

· the food was also the seed of the plant- later allowing ready farming of the species

These advantages made it much easier to store and transport food. We could more easily store food for winter, and for nomads and travelers to carry supplies. Food storage also enabled surpluses to be stored, and this in turn made it possible to free some people from food gathering to become specialists in other activities, such as builders, warriors and rulers. This in turn set us on the course to modern day civilization. Despite these advantages, our genes were never developed with grains, beans and potatoes and were not in tune with them, and still are not. Man soon improved further on these advances- by farming plants and animals.

Instead of being able to eat only a fraction of the animal and plant life in an area, farming allows us to fill a particular area with a large number of edible plants and animals. This in turn increases the number of calories that we can obtain from an area by some 10 to 100 fold or more. Then followed the harnessing of dairy products, which allow man to obtain far more calories from the animal over its lifetime than if it were simply slaughtered for meat. Dairy products are interesting as they combine a variety of components- some of which our genes were ready for and some not. Whist cows milk is ideal for calves, there are several very important differences between it and human milk. For example, the brain of a calf is only a tiny fraction of its body weight whereas humans have very big brains. Not surprisingly, cows milk is low in critical nutrients for brain development, particularly omeg 3 fats.

Paleolithic Diet buffs refer to the new foods as Neolithic foods and the old as Paleolithic Diet foods. In simple terms we see Neolithic as bad and Paleolithic as good. Since then, some other substances have entered the diet- particularly salt and sugar, and more recently a litany of chemicals including firstly caffeine then all other additives, colourings, preservatives, pesticides etc.

Grains, Beans and Potatoes (GBP) share the following important characteristics:

· They are all toxic when raw- there is no doubt about this- it is a fact that no competent source would dispute- they can be extremely dangerous and it is important never to eat them raw or undercooked. These toxins include enzyme blockers, lectins and other types. I will talk about them in detail later as they are very important.

· Cooking destroys most but not all of the toxins. Insufficient cooking can lead to sickness such as acute gastroenteritis.

· They are all rich sources of carbohydrate, and once cooked this is often rapidly digestible-giving a high glycemic index (sugar spike).

· They are extremely poor sources of vitamins (particularly vitamins A, B-group, folic acid and C), minerals, antioxidants and phytosterols.

Therefore diets high in grains beans and potatoes (GBP):

· Contain toxins in small amounts

· Have a high glycemic index (ie have a similar effect to raw sugar on blood glucose levels)

· Are low in many vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytosterols- ie they are the original "empty calories"

· Have problems caused by the GBP displacing other foods

As grains, beans and potatoes form such a large proportion of the modern diet, you can now understand why it is so common for people to feel they need supplements or that they need to detoxify (ie that they have toxins in their system)- indeed both feelings are absolutely correct. Unfortunately, we don’t necessarily realize which supplements we need, and ironically when people go on detoxification diets they unfortunately often consume even more Neolithic foods (eg soy beans) and therefore more toxins than usual (perhaps they sometimes benefit from a change in toxins). More detail on these issues follows in subsequent pages.

EATING HEALTH TIPS are:

Eat none of the following:

· Grains- including bread, pasta, noodles

· Beans- including string beans, kidney beans, lentils, peanuts, snow-peas and peas

· Potatoes

· Dairy products

· Sugar

· Salt

Eat the following:

· Meat, chicken and fish

· Eggs

· Fruit

· Vegetables (especially root vegetables, but definitely not including potatoes or sweet potatoes)

· Nuts, eg. walnuts, brazil nuts, macadamia, almond. Do not eat peanuts (a bean) or cashews (a family of their own)

· Berries- strawberries, blueberries, raspberries etc.

Try to increase your intake of:

· Root vegetables- carrots, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, Swedes

· Organ meats- liver and kidneys (I accept that many people find these unpalatable and won’t eat them)

Expect some minor tuning problems- don’t worry, you can deal with them:

· It will take some time for your body to adjust to the changes after all these years. There is a huge surge in your vitamin intake. There is a huge decrease in your toxin intake.

· Start with breakfast for few days, as this is the easiest place to start as most people eat it at home, and it tends to be the least Paleolithic meal of the standard 3. For weight loss you will eventually need to reduce your carbohydrate intake, but ignore this initially as most people have high carb intakes and this can continue for the first few days that you are on this diet. If you reduce too quickly then you may fell unwell. Then move on to lunch or dinner for a few days and then to all 3 meals. If you work, you will often find it easier to take your lunch to work.

Exercise Health Tips

noreply@blogger.com (http://hugehealthtips.blogspot.com/) — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 21:16:00 +0000

It is true that one can exercise at any time of day as long as you're burning those extra calories. However, there are many added benefits to choosing morning time to any other. Even if you manage to fit in just 15 minutes of strenuous exercise, it will help you stay happy and healthy all day. Here are some reasons why exercising first thing after waking up is beneficial.

Morning Exercise Health Tips

☼When you exercise in the morning, you'll find that because of the increased intake of oxygen and circulation of blood in your body, you'll stay energized for the whole day. It will automatically put you in a healthy frame of mind. Whatever other things you may have on your schedule, you will notice that you will be eager and energetic to handle them.
Morning exercise is a great way of waking up your brain, thus helping you to be alert to plan out your daily, weekly, even monthly schedule. It will help you organize your thoughts and make mental lists of what the day holds for you.

☼Exercising in the morning can help reduce stress that has built up due to work, family and other life situations. One of the reasons this is true is because morning time is the quietest and most peaceful time of day - before the daily routine begins. It gives you alone time, time to think and work things out for yourself, without being disturbed. Research has proven that people who exercise in the mornings tend to be the ones most consistent in their fitness regimes and diets. So if you choose morning time for your exercise program, then chances are that you'll stick to the plan for the long term. And that's a good thing!

☼This means that you end up burning calories throughout the day, no matter how often you may choose to eat. However, you still need to take care about what you put into your body. Exercising goes hand in hand with sensible eating.Waking up at about the same time everyday and exercising daily at the same time conditions you to "know" when to wake up and prepare your body for the rest of the day. The human body is a learning machine. You can train it to be on schedule with your exercise health tip program.

Healthy Juicing Tips

noreply@blogger.com (http://hugehealthtips.blogspot.com/) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 08:00:00 +0000

☼Tips on Juicing – Rare is the person who can make fresh squeezed juices each and every time they are hungry during the day on a juice fasting, or liver or kidney cleanse.
This could mean making a batch of fresh squeezed juice 5-8 times a day or more. If your lifestyle is such that you can juice as often as 8 times a day for 7 consecutive days, then it is best to do so. However, if this is not an option, then a close second best alternative has been found from the teaching of Rev. George Malkmus in his Hallelujah Diet materials.

☼Decide how much volume of juice you can usually drink at one time to be satisfied - 8 oz. or 16 oz. This is important. Next, go to a regular grocery store that sells canning jars made by Kerr. There are other companies like Ball who also make canning jars, and that will certainly work, but we prefer the ones made by Kerr, if available. Buy at least 2 cases (12 jars per case) of the size jar that is best for you to use - 8 oz. or 16 oz. The cost is usually around $6.00 a case.

☼ Here is the trick: you get all your juicing materials lined up to provide at least 3 quarts of juice. As you make juice, fill up each jar to the very top so that no more can be added. The liquid will actually form a slight dome shape at the top of the jar. Next, hold the disk sealer just over the top of the jar and press down. Some juice should squirt down the side of the jar. This is good as it means there is minimal amount of air trapped in the jar with your juice. Now screw on the sealing ring so that the disk is securely in place. As soon as you complete your juicing project place all the jars of juice in your refrigerator. Take each one out as you need it. In this way fruit juices will keep almost as fresh as actually fresh squeezed for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, and vegetable juices last up to 3 days.

☼ With this recommendation you can do all of your juicing needed to last an entire day or even 2 or 3 days. Warning! Be certain to make enough each time! If the supply is supposed to last one day, make at least 3 quarts (12 - 8 ounce jars or 6 - 16 ounce jars). When away from your home, you can put your jars of juice in a one handed cooler with blue ice (re-freezable ice packs) in it to keep the juice cold.

☼ IMPORTANT NOTE: once you open a jar of juice, you must drink all of its contents within a few minutes. The reason is that prolonged exposure to the air will destroy the enzymes in the juice. Within 20 minutes the enzymes are all oxidized. This is why you must use jars in a size that allows you to drink the juice quickly without having to wait to drink the rest later. You cannot get away with using store bought juice for the same reason – the enzymes are not present. Capturing the all important enzymes can only be done by juicing and drinking immediately or by sealing the fresh squeezed juice in the canning jar with the above method.
☼ Healthy Tip: Drink small amount first so you body will adjust to not having solid nutrient.

Eating Health Tips

noreply@blogger.com (http://hugehealthtips.blogspot.com/) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:17:00 +0000

Preventing aging and muscular loss is essential for middle age and above. Popeye was right about eating spinach can make you stronger with more muscle. The older you get the more wrist of muscle mass and strength,so eating healthy is essential for all of us to look more muscular.Let me explain it's apparent that as we grow older mass is lost. Although this loss is slowed somewhat by weight lifting and vigorous aerobic exercise,it still is evident. Athletes in their 60s typically demonstrate less muscle than they had in their 40s. Eating healthy alkaline food is the key for putting on more muscular mass.While prevent muscle loss.

☼ Research shows why nitrogen,which is an essential component of muscle protein,is giving up by the body at a faster rate than it can be taken in as we get older.This is due to a gradual change in kidney function that comes with aging producing an acidic state in the blood. Keeping the body alkaline is the key for keeping also gaining muscle mass. Again eating healthy alkaline food is what we need. So what food is the right one?

☼Yes you already know what food group, basically fruits and vegetables increase blood alkalinity. But there are few like bean that are acidic. Now for the acidity foods,like grains,meats, nuts, beans, dairy, fish, and eggs increase the blood's acidity. If your diet is high on the latter expect to lose muscle mass plus bone calcium as you get older.

☼Research study rank foods in terms of their effect on blood acidity and alkalinity. The food that has the most acidic effect therefore contributing to a loss of nitrogen and ultimately muscle is parmesan cheese.
Eating healthy food like raisins among vegetables,spinach was the most alkaline food.
