Diet And Exercise

‘Diet and exercise’ are the only two words, OK three, you need to remember if you’re looking to lose weight or just have better general health. There’s been much written how the American and Western diet is totally out of balance. Too much bad stuff – like sugars, fat and salt. Even too much good stuff – like carbohydrates. Just too many calories coursing through our bodies. Also with exercise, our lifestyle generally doesn’t require us to move our bodies much. We sit for long hours at our desks, on the couch, in front of the computer, in the car. You... [Read more...]

Diet and nutrition review

Diet And Nutrition can be put another way – “You are what you eat”. The best strategy for weight loss and just general well-being is to eat…eat better and eat less, more accurately.

Metabolism myths

A common belief is that overweight people have a slow metabolism, in other words, they burn energy slowly, while thin people have a fast metabolism or burn energy quickly. Both of these are myths. The term ‘metabolic rate’ means the energy (calories/kilojoules) you use over a day to keep your body going – your lungs breathing, your heart beating. This is also referred to as the resting or basal metabolic rate. Researchers have calculated the exact amount of calories healthy weight and overweight people burn while sitting or lying quietly. They did this by measuring the amount... [Read more...]

Eat to slim

Most of us simply love our food, sometimes too much. Usually when you start on a weight loss diet, it means sacrificing the sheer pleasure of food. Giving up the delicious aromas and tastes, giving up the pleasures of flavoursome, shared meals with family and friends, and giving up our freedom to eat what we please. Most weight loss plans simply ask too much -  they ask us to tip our lives completely over. We are often asked to make all our meals around highly processed foods that we didn’t select, cook, or even choose. Someone else make all of these decisions for us. No wonder most diets... [Read more...]

The no-argument idea to lose weight.

Eat Less. T’dah! Yeah, right. Eat less food and I’ll lose weight. Easier said than done. Too good to be true. Too simple to be effective. Eating Less can be done.

You be the judge…the case for a Low GI Diet.

Now I’m no lawyer but like everyone I’m a judge. As consumers that’s what we do. We judge whether this or that product is right for us or our family. The purpose of this article is to state the reasons why a Low GI Diet should be considered for you and your family. I should point out that I’m not a GI zealot. Or a zealot of any nutritional point of view. I hope that this shows. The main reason I support a Low GI Diet is that it is largely supported by most knowledgeable nutritional and diet experts. It also stands up to everyday practicality. The Case For A Low GI Diet…in... [Read more...]

The breakfast menu for longer, steadier energy.

We all want longer lasting energy. And when you think of it, steadier energy would be nice too. It’s no use having a short-lived spike of energy. Burn energy too quickly? Here’s some healthy foods and ideas to put together your own breakfast menu for sustained energy. A short bit about longer lasting energy. All foods release their energy into your bloodstream at different rates. One measure of this is called the Glycemic Index (GI). The higher the food indexes the faster it releases its energy. And the faster the energy is spent. High GI index above 70. Moderate GI foods index between... [Read more...]

Breakfast ideas for when you have no idea.

If you’re like me you wake up, snooze a little, get up groggily and pad into the kitchen. It’s not a time for my best breakfast ideas. Or any ideas for that matter. That’s why I go for the same old, same old breakfast. Usually something with a mule-like sugar kick and loads of carbs. Delicious, don’t get me wrong, I love the sugary, carby cereals. Fortunately (or is that unfortunately?) there’s lots of breakfast cereal brands out there to fill the gap. It’s now 7.48pm on a Monday night… …Perfect breakfast ideas time. So here’s some of my favourites: Liquid... [Read more...]
