Why to stop your diet and how to lose weight, with information you should know.

    To lose weight the correct way, you need to know that-Fat stores in the body because of intake of a lot of the carbohydrates. Not because of fatty food, as many people think.  Surprised?  This is the trick which our body does to our weight. Fatty food doesn’t affect on your weight that much as carbohydrates-. 

You need to reduce or avoid intake of high carbohydrate food and drinks. Increase protein and good fat food and drinks.

For example do not eat sweet apples, instead try sour apples, or do not eat yellow banana, substitute for green banana and so on.

Eat more of the vegetables with less sugar.  They are slow carbohydrates.  I would like to recommend eating of vegetables or vegetable salad twice a day with meat or poultry, fish or eggs, as one meal.

Eat fruit in the morning.

Eat vegetables, protein and fat food for lunch and dinner.  Do not stay very hungry; eat soon as you little hungry.

Recommended food balance:

Vegetables 35%

Meat, dairy products, eggs, poultry, fish, nuts and  see-food 35%

Sour-sweet fruit 15%

Good fat food 5%

Flour products, rice, all cereals and oat mills 10% 

Food and drink sources of high carbohydrates

Sugar, all food with sugar added, all food naturally sweet, honey, all flour products, sweet fruit, sweet vegetables, rice, all cereals  and oatmeal, all sweet or sweetened drinks and juices.

Take Probiotics, start with low number of like 1 billion and gradually increase to 12 or 15 billion. There are many brands on the market.  This is very important for your correct digestion and also will increase your immune system and metabolism.

Metabolism and Weight Loss

·         “Metabolism affects how fast you are able to burn calories. For every 3,500 you burn beyond what your body needs to operate, you can lose one pound of fat. The faster your metabolism is, the faster you are able to burn those 3,500 calories. This is why those with faster metabolisms tend to be slimmer, and also tend to be able to lose weight quicker than those with slower metabolisms.

Ways to Increase your Metabolism

·         The best way to increase your metabolism is to stop dramatic dieting and start working out. Though dieting is an important part of a weight loss program, cutting your calories too much can cause your body to believe its starving. If your body feels it's starving, it will slow your metabolism down to conserve calories. The next step is increasing your muscle mass. As stated before, muscle requires a greater amount of calories to function. As you build up your muscle, your body will in turn increase its metabolism to insure that your new muscles work at their optimal level. The rest of your body benefits, because your body will target fat first to gain the calories needed to give energy to your muscles. The extra burned calories translates to lost fat, which then translates to greater, more successful weight loss”.

Discover Your Metabolism

You can get a general idea of your body's basic metabolic requirements by calculating your basal metabolic rate and then using the Harris Benedict equation to factor in your activity level. Use this BMR calculator to discover a general calorie range for your body's requirements. 

List of Foods that Speed Up Metabolism

Are there other ways to speed up your metabolism? Try some of the foods on this list of foods that speed up metabolism to see if you can give yourself a metabolic boost.

Cold Water

Drinking cold water can boost your metabolism. Not only does water flush out impurities, but as your body attempts to regulate the cold from the water, it gives you a slight metabolic boost to warm you up.

Green Tea

Green tea has been shown to boost metabolism - both because of substances present in the green tea and because of its caffeine content. Green tea is also loaded with antioxidants for good health.

Grapefruit

Grapefruit has been shown to reduce insulin levels, which can help to boost your metabolic rate.

Lean Protein

Combining lean protein sources with a muscle building fitness regime can boost your metabolism by increasing your overall lean body mass.

Hot Peppers

The capsaicin in peppers can get your body revving. Capsaicin is often an ingredient in fat burning and metabolism boosting products.

Coconut

Recent research suggests that coconut and its oil can help to boost your metabolism. This is because coconut oil contains medium chain triglycerides, that are burned by the body more quickly. Coconut is also a healthy source of fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Dairy Products

There is some evidence suggesting that eating calcium-rich low fat dairy products such as yogurt and skim milk can help to burn fat and increase metabolism.
