The Secret to a Successful Weight Loss

108 million Americans are on a diet at any given time. Americans spend 65 billion dollars each year on weight-loss products.

When it comes down to losing weight, there are millions of guidelines and diets which will tell you what and how to eat and which foods to avoid. However, in my opinion if you want to have lasting results you should never just be on certain "diet"for a certain period of a time. Instead you should choose a diet which is sustainable, healthy and based on some dietitians' recommendations. And this diet should last forever. It is called a healthy lifestyle and learning how to eat healthy for the rest of your life. If you have problems in this area, I would recommend you to see a nutrition specialist who could help you individually. My online Nutrition Packages are available here if you are interested.

There are many studies which indicate that the fact which matters the most is the calorie content and not the proportion of macro-nutrients that determine weight loss success! So please, stop wasting time to count your macros (proteins, fats and carbs) and instead check how much calories you actually need in a day and eat a bit less in order to lose weight. Aim for 500 calorie deficit in a day by exercising little more or decrease your caloric intake.

Portion sizes really matter. So pay attention to those. Also avoid sugar because there is so many ways how to say "sugar", for instance

One extra advice for you: always eat breakfast! Start your day right with a nutrient dense breakfast and it is easier to resist cravings before lunch.

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...

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: Vähä...

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...
