1)    Research shows that our brains get confused between hunger and thirst, and we are in fact eating instead of drinking a hydrating drink. A very important fact – before you snack, or when you before you give into your craving drink a hydrating drink.  Drinks like coffee, coke or alcohol will make things worse.

2)   Being dehydrated or not drinking enough water slows down the metabolism – so make sure you drink enough water for a healthy metabolism. A healthy metabolism is important if you want to loss weight or maintain your weight loss.

3)   Drinking green tea has been shown to increase the metabolism, encouraging weight loss.  Green tea (drink without milk and sugar) is also an extremely rich source of anti-oxidants.

To detoxify efficiently on a daily basis, is very important to your health-gain and weight-loss success, but it’s every bit as important to maintaining any weight-loss in the long term.

These are the organs that will help you in your quest – the liver, kidneys, skin, colon, lymph, lungs, and fat cells.

Your over-worked liver is one of your main allies, in the fight against weight problems, fluid retention and cellulite. Help your liver help you loss-weight and gain-wellness.

One of the liver’s many jobs is to break down substances into less harmful compounds. It breaks them down into more manageable components ready for removal from the body. This process alone uses up an enormous amount of nutrients and resources. In the case of artificial sweeteners, you are voluntarily putting chemicals into your body further polluting your system, giving your organs of detoxification much more work and in some cases over-whelming the organs.

In the United States, obesity is rapidly growing as a major
disease. It is beyond surprise that more than half of the
population in the country is overweight and the rate is still
increasing. Obesity or overweight has many reasons to grow but
on the other hand there are only a few methods to bring the
weight under control. Moreover, the success of such methods
differs from person to person and most of the time comes under
the scanner.

You may have heard about acupuncture weight loss and are having
trouble believing that sticking needles in someone’s body, the
traditional image conjured up when someone says acupuncture
weight loss, could ever help them lose weight.

Well, maybe your scepticism is born from the fact that you
don’t know all of the elements involved in acupuncture weight
loss treatments.

Acupuncture weight loss grew out of the millennium old Chinese
practice of acupuncture. While acupuncture weight loss has been
around for almost as long as acupuncture itself it only hit the
public consciousness in 2003.

Animals fed on processed oils have a body fat composition chemically similar to the fats in the foods they were given to eat (this goes for you too except you have choices). So the meat would be equally as toxic as the processed oils themselves. The same goes for farmed fish like salmon, their diet makes them fatter but they have far less omega-3 than their wild cousins. The natural salmon have less body fat but more omega-3! A direct association – they are what they eat.

Most people are social beings with invites to dinner, birthday parties, weddings, christenings, Christmas, Easter, New year, anniversaries, baby showers etc. Party food can be a real stumbling block for a lot of people because … dieters are in the habit of going to a social event hungry. Many dieters have the mentality of skipping a meal or ‘saving themselves’ so to speak during the day as they know they are going out later. Big mistake! As blood sugar levels drop.

I hear all the time people say at dinner or a party “I am starving”. That person will be eating whatever is laid out in front of them. These people say to me “you have so much self-control, are you not tempted with all those unhealthy treats?” I never go out hungry I have a healthy snack before I go, so when I get there I can make choices. Never expose yourself to that, make sure you never go out hungry.

Research shows that when people go to the supermarket hungry – they make more unhealthy decisions and buy more or bigger size packets. Whereas when people go shopping after eating, when they are no longer hungry they make much healthy choices, more sensible decisions.

It is also a good idea if you go food shopping go on your own if you can. Leave the children, the grand-children and husbands for that matter at home, as they are so good at filling the shopping trolleys with all sorts of unhealthy fattening things.
