Is eating a high fat diet unhealthy when I’m in good shape?

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

I like eating high fat food as it is very calorie dense, and I exercise a lot making quick easy, tasting and filling food very practical. Although is this unhealthy for me even though it gets burned off? My diet is almost zero-cholesterol and I am fairly thin and very fit. (definitely not thin when I don’t exercise.) Also I eat healthy fats sometimes and other times not.

Thanks

Lose Belly Fat and Get Ripped Abs Eating Junk Food

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Do you want your very own set of chiselled, ripped abs, but don’t have the willpower to stick to a diet? Well, you are in luck. In this article I’m going to explain to you how you can lose belly fat and get ripped abs eating absolutely anything you want, including junk food!

Before I start I want to clear up a common myth. We all have six pack abs right now. Problem is the majority of us can’t see them because they are covered by a layer of fat. This is why doing endless ab exercises don’t work. You will never see your abs until you lose all of your belly fat which is covering them up. Hence, this article will show you how to lose fat and reveal your ripped abs.

I know it sounds outrageous to recommend eating junk food to get ripped abs, so let me clarify. I don’t recommend eating nothing but junk food. That is obviously unhealthy. However, if you want to lose belly fat and get ripped abs you should eat junk food whenever you want.

4 reasons why…

1. HELPS KEEP OUR CRAVINGS IN CHECK

By allowing yourself to eat whatever you want, you are no longer depriving yourself of having anything. This goes a long way in keeping your cravings under control. Let’s face it, the reason why so many of us fail, is because our cravings become unbearable. Usually these cravings are for the foods that we are depriving ourselves from having.

So the key here is, to not deprive yourself of anything. Doing so only encourages your cravings to intensify, to the point that sooner or later, you will succumb to the pressure.

2. IT IS MUCH EASIER AND IT WORKS

The absolute bottom line to successfully losing your belly fat is to simply eat less food than you burn off. Pretty obvious I know, but it’s true. Forget the thinking that a certain food is making you fat, because it doesn’t. Too much food makes you fat!

A calorie is a calorie. There is no difference between a calorie from a carrot, and a calorie from a donut. It is all a form of energy that can be burnt off, or stored as fat if not used. Knowing this, wouldn’t it make sense to eat foods you enjoy? Wouldn’t this make losing fat a hell of a lot easier?

Let me ask you this. Why do you think people lose fat on all different kinds of diets? Because the one thing all these diets have in common is that there total calorie intake is usually less than we need a day. That’s all there is to it. However, the author pinpoints the success of his program down to his very own, special and unique manipulation of protein, carbs or fats, or avoiding this food, and only eating these foods.

So just remember, as long as you eat less calories than you burn off a day, you will lose belly fat and eventually will be sporting your very own ripped abs.

3. EAT HEALTHIER

Believe it or not, but allowing yourself to eat junk food can actually help you eat healthier. This is because it reduces our cravings for junk food. This will result in less binges on junk and may even reduce the amount of junk you actually eat!

I know from personal experience that I eat less junk now then when I was following those strict diets. Eating super strict for a few weeks created such unbearable cravings that I was always bingeing on junk food.

Now that I can eat whatever I want, my emotions are a lot more intact. If I crave something, I have it, but I don’t feel the urge to eat massive quantities of it to make up for weeks of deprivation. I also enjoy eating healthier now, but if I crave a piece of chocolate, you better believe I’ll have apiece. (If not, a week from now I might explode and eat 10 pieces!)

4. CONSISTENCY

You will never lose your excess belly fat and get ripped abs if you lack consistency. You need to able to stick to a program long enough to lose the amount of fat necessary to see your abs. The general rule of thumb is to lose 1-2 pounds of fat a week. Therefore if you need to lose 20 pounds, you want to be consistent for 10-20 weeks.

This is the reason why I recommend eating whatever you want. It will make it a lot more enjoyable, and a lot easier to maintain the consistency required. And contrary to what others may think, it does work. Isn’t it obvious, eat less food than you need and you will lose fat. Simple huh?

Luke Johnstone lost 39 pounds of ugly belly fat and got his own ripped abs for the first time in his life. He did this by eating whatever he wanted, pigging out a few times a week and only spending 90 minutes a week exercising.

The Atkins Diet: Eating to Lose Weight With the Atkins Weight Loss Program

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

 

The Atkins Diet has been proven to be a successful way to lose weight. Although the validity of reducing carbohydrates has been hotly disputed – time has let science prevail. Atkins diet works to lose weight.

The Atkins Diet hasn’t been hiding under an upside-down bowl of chocolate pudding over the last few decades. The Atkins Diet Weight Loss Program has been helping people lose weight and keep their weight off for years. Decades ago, the Atkins Diet stirred things up in the dietary world – going against the conventional wisdoms of how to lose weight. Atkins told his dieting audience that if they wanted to lose weight, bread had to take a backseat to meat. Losing weight meant losing carbohydrates. Atkins’ voiceful confidence in his dietary theories prevailed to make the Atkins Weight Loss Program one of the most recognized diets in the world. Diet eating took on a new form. Dieters were shocked that they could still savor the juicy red steak and lose weight at the same time. Flavors stayed and carbohydrates were exiled. The Atkins diet surpassed its “fad” status, and time has demonstrated that the Atkins diet is a scientifically proven way to lose weight successfully.

Back in 2007, the Washington Post reported a study done by Stanford University that compared four diets. Two were low-carb diets, one was a behavior modification diet, and one was a low-fat diet. These were all very popular diets that women chose to lose weight. The Atkins diet was one of the contenders, and the winner. More women were able to lose weight with the Atkins diet than the other low-carb diets that sought to capitalize on Atkins success. Additionally, more women were able to lose weight with the Atkins diet than they were with the low-fat diet and the diet that focused on losing weight with behavior modification.

Atkins Diet Weight Loss Program did more than just help women lose weight. It also helped women reduce their bad cholesterol. Triglycerides levels dropped. Triglycerides are linked to heart disease. The women losing weight with the Atkins diet also lowered their blood pressure, and had the highest increase in HDL – which is the good cholesterol. LDL, on the other hand, is bad cholesterol, and a major factor in the risks for heart disease. Experts have speculated that Atkins Diet Weight Loss Program would substantially increase a dieter’s LDL. This would be a logical assumption since the Atkins Diet suggests that you can lose weight by substituting meat (high in saturated fats) for carbohydrates to help you lose weight. The results of the Stanford study showed only a slight increase in LDL levels; however, the LDL blood levels from the Atkins dieters were no different from the other dieters.

Eating to lose weight with the Atkins Diet Weight Loss Program no longer has to carry the stigma that it’s a “fad.” Dieters can feel confident that they will lose weight with the Atkins diet. Eating healthy to lose weight with a low-carbohydrate diet will not cause the imminent heart failure that some dissidents feared. Losing weight with the Atkins Diet Weight Loss Program is the scientifically proven way to get your diet out of your book and onto your plate. You’ll lose weight, lose triglycerides, and gain some good HDL. The proven success of the Atkins diet means you don’t have to lose faith – the only thing you have to lose is weight.

Eating Out and Keep on a Low Fat Diet

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Yes, you can eat out, and still stick to your low fat diet. You are probably saying, No way! When I am trying to lose weight, I cannot go out to eat. Well, no, you don’t need to stop eating out or hide out at home. There are some good techniques that you can use to keep stay on your diet plan and eat out.

There are social events, weddings, parties, and not eating out with friends, is no fun. Would you really stick to any diet plan that completely forbids eating out? I did not think so. Here are some tips to follow so you can still be eating out and keep on a low fat diet.

Does the restaurant have a web site? Look it over carefully and see what type of dishes there are. Is there a section labeled, heart healthy entrees? Many restaurants now have such dishes. If not, then when you get there ask the staff about this. Find out about the cooking methods used. Is the dish deep-fried, or is it sauteed, or is it baked? Order dishes that are baked or steamed and avoid those which are fried. Find out what fats are used to cook the dishes. Do they use oils with no trans-fats or do they use oils that are high in saturated fats (i.e. butter). Find if they have any low calorie dishes. Some restaurants have these items on the menu. Do they have some small plate dishes? These are the same foods that are on the regular menu, but have smaller proportions. Do not order dishes that are in a heavy cream sauce, such as Alfredo. Egg and butter sauces are also to be avoided, such as hollandaise sauce. Find out about what salad dressings are used. Do they have some light vinaigrette dressings using low fat oils? If so, order them and you will keep to your low fat diet while eating out. Also, request that the dressing be served on the side.

There are many options available to you while eating out. Do not stay home and think that you can never again enjoy yourself. That is simply not true. With this kind of dieting, you are really not dieting in the old sense of the word. Now, you are adjusting what you eat at every meal and are eating healthy, tasty meals day in and day out. Yes, you can still be eating out and keep on a low fat diet! Find out how you can do this right now by going to http://finallyadietthatworks.com/eatingouted.html.

I have struggled with weight problems all my life and have finally found the right balance for a healthy life style. I just want to let people know that it is not hopeless. I have been using this diet plan for many years. Please visit my site for more details.

How Can I Lose Weight? – I Can’t Stop Eating Junk Food?

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Somebody wrote to me recently and asked for my help. They said that they have recently started a new job with unsocial hours and can’t help eating junk food all the time. They also said that they find it hard to get motivated.

You’ll be pleased to know that there is something that can be done about this, so I’m going to tell you 8 easy to follow steps to take that will help you overcome this problem.

1. Stop buying it:

If you don’t buy junk food you can’t eat it! Look for healthier options and read of the rest of the steps.

2. Eat breakfast:

How many times have you heard that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I can still hear my mother’s voice! Well, it’s true! A bowl of porridge or cereal will fill you up for the morning. If you don’t have time in the morning then eat a banana and a pot of low-fat yoghurt. Oatmeal bars are also a great snack, full of fibre and healthy for you.

3. Keep healthy snacks at work:

Keep a supply of apples in your desk – they keep a long time. Bananas are a great snack as well as they are ready-wrapped and release energy slowly so you don’t feel hungry quickly after eating one.

4. Eat healthy alternatives:

Instead of a lunchtime burger or high-calorie, high-fat sandwich or roll try making a healthy lunch at home. Buy some brown, oatmeal burger buns and fill with freshly chopped lettuce, low-fat grated cheese, tomato, cucumber etc. Alternatively choose a baked potato with a healthy topping or filling.

5. Keep healthy food in the house:

If you don’t have any junk food in the house, you can only eat good stuff, right?

6. Plan your meals for the week:

Once you have planned your meals you can make a shopping list. Buy only the items on the list and don’t shop when you’re hungry. Cook enough for a few meals and freeze the rest for later in the work when you come home from work tired.

7. Keep active:

Deliberately make your body work harder to do simple, everyday things.  Use the stairs instead of the elevator. While sitting at work or home move your legs up and down as if walking or marching on the spot. Do sit ups, fidget or walk places quickly,

Walk to work and walk home from work. If it’s not feasible to do that then park the car further away from work, or get off the bus a stop earlier and walk the rest. Try going out for walks when you don’t work.

8. Drink plenty of water:

You can lose at least 7-10 extra pounds just by drinking enough water. It also boosts your metabolic rate. When your metabolic rate is raised you will burn fat and lose weight. Water detoxifies your body by flushing out all the toxins. As a result you will feel better and have healthier, clearer skin as an added bonus.

If you really want to lose weight then it is simply a matter of getting into the right frame of mind and deciding that it is something you will do. Don’t think – I will TRY to lose weight but decide I WILL lose weight!

You can if you want to!
