Detox- Series: Part 1: 5 Tips How to Lose Weight

Here comes the first post of my detox- series. Everyone knows that detoxification means getting rid of harmful toxins in your body. What people usually don't know is that losing weight is one mean to do this because toxins, such as synthetic chemicals build up in fatty tissue. So as you lose weight, you feel better and be more energised because toxins are being removed from your body as they will lose their living space as the amount of fatty tissue decreases in your body.

Thus the topic of this post is weight loss as I know it is a popular topic after New Year. It is easy to make up your mind and start a new project when the year changes and you have indulged during the holidays. However, there have been researches that many New Year's resolutions don't last so I hope that for you, if you have decided to lose weight, this isn't the case. Having said that I love "fresh starts" and new beginnings so I want to share my tips about weight loss.. 

5 tips how to lose weight:

  • First focus on your diet because diet is a significant part of the weight loss equation. Then make changes in your exercise routines. Remember to be active on a daily basis!

  • Always read nutrition labels. You might be shocked about the fact how many products include sugar! As a rule of thumb, buy stuff which have fewer ingredients, especially when it comes to artificial sweeteners and preservatives. In this case the fewer, the better. This is how you eat "real" food.

  • Master your portions. It ultimately comes down to your portion control. Eat a bit less but don't finish your meal so that you are still too hungry.

  • Have some flexibility in your diet and weight-loss program. Too strict diets don't work! You will only end up craving those treats which you are not allowed to eat. Allow yourself to eat something "forbidden" every week but in a small amounts.

  • Lastly invest in your sleep. Go to bed earlier. Seriously. If you have slept poorly that will have impact on your will power as I noticed before Christmas.. I slept very poorly one night so after I came home from work, I was feeling pretty exhausted. All I wanted to do was to lie down on my couch and eat candies. I find it that in these situations you have two choices: to give into your cravings or hit the gym. Luckily I chose the latter. After that gym session I felt empowered! However, if you give in in a moments like these, please don't feel too guilty about it. Next time you will choose better!

To conclude, the funny thing about maintaining your ideal weight is that the less you think about it, the better chance you will achieve your ideal weight.. I have noticed this in myself: the less I try to control my weight, the better the results usually are. I think this has to do something with stress. When we are stressed, the cortisol levels of our blood rises and our body will crave more food which creates the feeling of hunger. During this stress period people usually choose food items which will produce delight, such as sugary or fatty delicacies. In addition the cortisol will make it easier for the fat to build up in our bodies. So let's work our stress levels and try to do something enjoyable every day 💓


Wishing all the best for your fresh starts,

Remember that it is all about changing your life style habits into healthier ones! Quick fixes, like cosmetic procedures won't last long. All the best to your project ❤️

I Quit Drinking Coffee and it Changed My Life

The U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says about 80 percent of U.S. adults take some form of caffeine every day. Accordingly, coffee is one of the most commonly used ingredients in the world. But caffeine does so much more than just keeping you awake.It’s a central nervous system stimulant that affects your body in numerous ways. So, let's talk about this and why drinking coffee might not be good for for you. While there has been numerous studies about the benefits of coffee, such as it increases alertness , lowers the risk of depression and reduces the risk of brain diseases , it has also negative effects on sleep and anxiety and it can cause headaches, panic attacks, adrenal fatigue, loss of energy, it can deprive minerals and vitamins from your body (read more on here ) As I mentioned before( here ), I quit drinking coffee last spring.

Why Are Cola Drinks So Addictive?

Did you know that in Argentina people drink the most soft drinks in the world? Their annual consumption is 155 liters per capita.  Not far behind is number two, the USA with 154 liters per capita. Americans are one of the largest consumers of the soda drinks in the world because of their modern lifestyle and high incomes. As it is very common to drink colas or other soft drinks but I have heard many people saying that they cannot stop drinking them. I started to wonder what is it that makes drinking Coca-Cola so addictive? Is it the caffeine, sugar or the artificial sweeteners? Besides what's the harm in drinking Coca-Cola? Below I will examine these three issues. Caffeine content The caffeine content in a 330ml serving of regular (sugar) Coca-Cola is about 32 mg. Compared to a a mug of coffee which contains 100 mg of caffeine that is a bit less. According to the Coca-Cola company the caffeine in their drinks is not addictive. However, if you are really sensitive to caffein

Viimeinen hormonimyrsky: imetyksen lopettaminen

  Olen imettänyt lähes vuoden ja nyt tämä tie on tullut päätökseen. Imettäminen herättää paljon tunteita ja vaikka olenkin ollut onnellinen siitä, että olen pystynyt tarjoamaan molemmille lapsilleni parasta ravintoa, ei se ole aina sujunut ongelmitta. Usein pohdin, että pulloruokinnassa olisin päässyt "helpommalla". Kuitenkin molempien kanssa jatkoin imetystä sitkeästi ja näin jälkikäteen ajatellen onneksi niin tein 💗 Ehkäpä tämän vuoksi imetyksen lopettaminen kuopuksen kohdalla ei ollutkaan niin helppoa. Viimeiset imetyskerrat sijoittuivat rauhallisiin aamuhetkiin joten sen lopettaminen minulle olikin haikeaa. Miksi? Ehkä se oli se läheisyys ja tunne siitä, että se on sitten niin lopullista. Nautin, kun sain pitää vauvan vielä hetken aikaa rauhallisena vieressä. Lopulta tulikin päivä, jolloin tyttö heräsi mieheni kanssa enkä enää imettänytkään. Eilisen kerta olikin ollut tietämättäni viimeinen kerta. Mitä kehossani sitten tapahtui, kun imetys loppui? Pari päivää lopettamise

VHH ruokavalio esimerkkejä: näin koostat vhh:n herkullisesti

Ketoilu on ollut pinnalla, mutta sen haittavaikutuksista on myös nykyään puhuttu enemmän. Itse suosin ketoilun sijaan vähähiilihydraattista ruokavaliota. Tässä postauksessa kerron miksi. Vähähiilihydraattinen ruokavalio on erinomainen valinta monista syistä. Tässä muutamia syitä, miksi vhh ruokavalio kannattaa: 1. Painonhallinta:  Vähähiilihydraattinen ruokavalio voi auttaa sinua saavuttamaan ja ylläpitämään terveellistä painoa. Kun vähennät hiilihydraattien määrää ruokavaliossasi, kehosi alkaa polttaa enemmän rasvaa energiaksi. Tämä voi auttaa sinua pudottamaan ylimääräisiä kiloja ja pitämään painosi hallinnassa. 2. Verensokerin tasapaino:  Vähähiilihydraattinen ruokavalio voi auttaa pitämään verensokerin tasaisena. Kun vältät nopeasti imeytyviä hiilihydraatteja, kuten sokeria ja valkoista viljaa, verensokerisi ei nouse yhtä nopeasti. Tämä voi auttaa välttämään verensokerin heilahteluja ja pitämään energiatasosi tasaisena koko päivän. 3. Energia ja keskittymiskyky:  Vähähiilihydraatti

5 Effective Weight Loss Drinks

How to Stay Young and Healthy

The other day I watched a really interesting BBC document about how to stay young and more specifically how to prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease. As you get older your brains begin to shrink. As a result of this your cognitive skills diminish. How to prevent this? The key is to use your brains on a daily basis. More specifically scientists have discovered that learning a new language has the most efficient way to prevent dementia because learning will increase the size of your brain. According to these scientists other important ways to affect the size of your brain were reading exercising in general learning a new skill, such as playing guitar studying In the document researches investigated whether regular walks or ping poll plays had an effect on the brain tissue. The test groups walked or played ping poll for 2 hours per week. The results revealed that both test groups gained positive effects on their brain tissue because of their increased exercise. Mo
