The Truth About Belly Fat: Tips for a Flatter Stomach
You've got news concerning belly fat, "Belly fat is the first kind of fat you tend to lose when you lose weight," says Michael Jensen, MD, a Mayo Clinic endocrinology specialist and obesity researcher. "Visceral fat, the kind tucked deep inside your waistline, is more metabolically active and easier to lose than subcutaneous fat under the skin, especially if you have plenty of it," explains Penn State researcher Penny Kris-Etherton, PhD, RD
Thus you can now be sure that your efforts will pay for you. You have to remember to:
- Avoid sugar, its your biggest enemy
- Avoid salt as it may block your satiety feeling
- Avoid hydrogenated oil, Canola oil, Margarine and substituted butter
Eat real butter, whole eggs, coconut oil, olive oil, vegetables and fruits.

Calorie Shifting for Long Lasting Weight Loss
Calorie shifting is the continuous changing of calorie food source (carbohydrates and protein), and their amount over a period of time. It is planned to force the body to increase production of of fat burning hormones and decrease production of fat storing hormones. Coupled with walking, calorie shifting even increases production of fat burning hormones.
The advantages of this system is that you will eat the way you like without avoiding a complete category of food. The main advantage is that your body can not slow down its metabolism as occurs with different diets.
The system works over weeks and not 3, 5, or 7 days, since it is aimed at maintaining weight loss. It is the easy way to start losing fat for long periods of time.

3 Mistakes when Buying a Diet Plan Online
Deciding to lose weight, and you search for a diet plan to buy online? Before going anywhere, read this article first.
Do not start searching before you define the goal of your diet. If you start searching blindly, you will be excited by will written messages, telling you that you will lose specified amount of pounds in the next, month, week, or 3 days! but what then?
You suffer the impact of your extra weight on your health and on your shape. You should know that gaining excess weight is a mark that your metabolism and your life style are on different tracks.
To prevent a wrong message that may penetrate your subconscious, you should avoid these mistakes:
1- Not recognizing the principles of weight loss
The classic view of calories is a bit changed now to consider source of calories rather than their number, in other words "not all calories are created equal". The balance of calories-in and calories-out is still applicable, but calories from food that builds muscles is different from calories
from food that help store fat.
The source of calories effect is obvious when the metabolism is changed, for example; in the growth stage the source of calories does not matter that much, since all the body activities are directed to building, but when growth has stoped, there is no gross building and any extra energy is stored as fat, and among the factors that facilitate this process are food types.
You have to change your eating habits to cope with your new metabolism pattern. To lose any excess deposited fat, you should change types of food you eat without restrictions of its amount.
2- Not Knowing how to maintain your optimal Weight
Be assured that any diet plan will shed pounds of your weight, the first days or weeks you use them. There are many ways to do that. Nevertheless, the problem which faces dieters is the maintenance of the acquired weight.
Most of the diet programs adopt strange ways to force your body to lose weight. They either starve your body, ban whole categories of food, introduce foreign materials that affect your metabolism, or put your body on an unsatisfying style of tasteless foods, or strenuous exercise, or both.
Your diet plan should let you eat your favorite way keeping you full and satisfied. It may discriminate some foods but should not restrict your whole life.
3- Not Sneaking Your Diet Plan
A diet designer should let you taste how his plan looks like. He should have been brought you something new as a new diet, and you should know what is this new diet about.
Testimonials are not enough because as said earlier, every diet plan will reduce weight for sometime. You should ensure that the concept will cause a permanent weight loss. An audio-visual support is better, but at least you should know something from inside the program.

Being Overweight Super-sizes Both Risk And Consequences Of Sleep-disordered Breathing
Excess weight increased the severity of oxygen desaturation in the blood of individuals with sleep-disordered-breathing (SDB) during and after apneas and hypopneas.
Each 10-point increase in BMI predicted a 10 percent increase in the severity of oxygen depletion associated with SDB events.
"This means that if, for example, a six-foot tall, 160-pound 45-year-old man (BMI= 22), had an apnea that produced a six-percent reduction in oxygen saturation, then a man with the same characteristics who weighed 235 pounds (BMI=32) would be expected to have a 6.6 percent reduction in blood oxygen saturation during a similar event,".

How Soy Reduces Diabetes Risk
Soy Isoflavones Act Like Anti-Diabetes Drugs, by increasing the activity of certain transcription regulators in the fat tissue.

the insulin-sensitizing effect of anti-diabetic drugs.

Ways To Convert High GI into Low GI Foods
High Glycemic Index (GI) foods contain carbohydrates that are rapidly digested thus raise both bloog sugar and insulin, while Low Glycemic Index foods slowly release glucose and insulin into the blood stream. Examples of high GI foods are, white bread, refined breakfast cereals, and concentrated sugars, examples of low GI foods include whole grains, oat, most fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes.
Recent research revealed the benefits of decreasing carbohydrates intake, since high carb (specially theose with high GI) have many negative impacts on our health, and the preference of low GI foods over the the high GI foods is well established. Many people are now restricting their high GI carbs intake to a great extent.
There are no attempts to convert high glycemic foods into low glycemic foods, yet there are some products that are promoted for weight loss for the same property of minimizing glucose release, these are the carb blockers.
Carb blockers extracted from white kidney beans, they neutralize the digestive enzyme alpha amylase, and thus prevent this enzyme from converting starch into glucose, and reduce the amount of carbs absorbed. This mechanism makes them not interfering with absorption of simple sugars including the essential sugars. Simple sugars are present in far less amounts than starch in many foods.
Carb blockers, through minimizing conversion of starch into glucose can convert high glycemic index foods into low ones. You can read the details of carb blockers here..Dietrine

Avoid Fast Weight Loss Plans
But why do you want to lose weight fast, did you gain it fast? are you into modelling with your present weight? do you know why there are fast weight loss plans?
The only reason there are that large number of fast plans is the ease with which one can get into a huge industry and earns good money, by tuning the already present themes. Cutting on calories may go from the normal daily requirements (about 2000 calories/day), to 1500, 1200, 1000, 800, or..500 calories/day(!!!). Food categories may be alternated to involve reducing carbs or fats, increasing proteins, or shifting calories.
Others play the exercise game by modifying physical activity to involve sophisticated devices designed for different parts of the body, so that you may (sculpt) your body according to your taste.
Revising the trends of these fast plans, we find that:
- Trimming down the calories may shed off the extras on the short scale, yet it has a negative impact on health on the long run. Decreasing calories below the basic daily needs will result in energy shortage, and to spare it the body slows down its metabolism, resulting to fatigue and weakened resistance. Reducing calories over a longer period of time may result in the body burning muscles which burn calorie sall-day round, thus they burn fat while you are sitting to your computer, or watching the television.
- Taking slimming pills is an artificial alternative that did not prove that much better way to lose weight , not to mention the possible side effects.
- Strenuous exercise is not for every one and needs loose limits of place, time and money.
After all, after stopping any of these fast plans you will regain the lost weight and may be more.
The best known way is to change your lifestyle that led you to gain weight, do not eat excess food and keep physically active, and ... be patient.
