How to Diet without getting hungry

Protein ShakeOne of the main issues with dieting is getting hungry while reducing caloric intake. There are many solutions for reducing hunger while dieting. Whether you are dieting or not, you should always drink plenty of water, ideally half your weight number in ounces, for an example, if you weigh 140 pounds, you should drink at least 70 ounces of water per day, plus whatever you consume while exercising.

Often times when you think you are hungry, you are really just thirsty, so gulp down the water. Also just about everywhere one goes these days; there is an offer of bottled water. I’ve been offered water at car dealerships, doctor’s offices, health food stores, at the office, meetings, conferences and etc. I used to decline, but now I accept bottled water whenever it’s offered, even if I’m not thirsty I save it for later Why the fuss about water sources, well, it makes it easier to meet my daily intake goal. Be sure to jump start your metabolism with a glass of water upon waking in the morning. Likewise, drink a glass or two prior to bed, in this way you can knock out 2 to 3 glasses of water with ease.

I’ve heard some people say that they don’t like the taste of water. If that’s the case, then add flavoring, such as a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and stevia (natural, no calorie sweetener), should eliminate that obstacle. There are also other flavors you can add to water. I suggest EcoDrink, by SGN Nutrition; it comes in flavors, such as peach mango, orange, fruit punch and pomegranate berry. Ecodrink can be found at Sam Club, Costco and online at sgnnutrition.com. The Ecodrink comes with a BPA free bottle and you can return each bottle to SGN Nutrition and receive 6 packages of EcoDrink at no charge.

Another method to reduce hunger involves supplementation. Often when you crave food, it’s your body trying to communicate to you that it isn’t getting enough nutrition. That’s the reason when you eat junk food you can’t put it down, before you know it, you’ve eaten a bag of candy, chips or cookies. Since there is little to no nutrition in junk food or fast food, your body screams give me more because it’s trying desperately to draw nutrition from junk food. Here are a few effective supplements used to reduce appetite: Hoodia, Chickweed and Green Coffee Bean Extract. Try all 3 to determine which one works best. Also begin with the suggested number of tablets and if there’s no effect you may have to add additional tablets until you get the desired results, but be sure not to exceed the recommend max as suggested on each supplement bottle.

Another method of decreasing appetite is drinking time release protein shakes between each meal and before bed time, the extra protein will not turn to fat since it doesn’t contain carbs. I like the Perfect Blend by Biohealth Corp, another brand I’ve tried is the Combat Protein Powder by MusclePharm Com (cookies and cream flavor). Both brands taste great, but the Perfect Blend brand is grass fed.

Do it yourself Alkaline Water

trimwellness-importance-of-water-photoOur bodies are made up of 65 percent water, so water is extremely important for your body. Drinking plenty of water will assist you in weight loss. Cancer thrives in an acidic state and it dies in an alkaline state, thus the reason you want to consume the highest alkalinity possible, minimum 7.0 ph and if you can find 10 ph that will benefit your health tremendously. If you would like to measure the ph level of the water you usually drink, be it faucet or bottled water , you can purchase ph strips in health food stores or pharmacies.

Independent tests have concluded that Fuji and Evian brands have ph levels above 7.0. Also, water sourced from a protected source is another preferred option,that’s why I like the Crystal Geyser brand. Their spring water is obtained from protected natural spring sources and aquifers. The remote locations provide for geographical isolation and protection from man made activities to their spring sources. Crystal Geyser operators select remote spring sources , to prevent the risk of contamination from potentially harmful industrial, residential . and farming  activities.  In addition, they insure that  locations meet specific geological criteria in order to protect acquifers and ground water resources.  Crystal Geyser can be purchased at Whole Foods Stores, but the cheapest place to purchase it is Big Lots at $3 per 24 pack. You can purchase a Kangen Water Machine to make alkaline water, but it’s not cheap. For a do it your self alkaline water, just mix 1 teaspoon of organic baking soda(without aluminum) with 8 ounces of  bottled water with a ph of at least 7.0. Another do yourself alkaline water, substitute baking soda with an organic lemon and squeeze 2 tablespoons of lemon juice into 8 -12 ounces of water( with a ph of at least 7.0). pH is defined as the  power of hydrogen, which is a measurement of the hydrogen ion concentration in the body. The official pH scale ranges from 1 to 14, with 7 equating to  neutral. A pH less than 7 is said to be acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline.

Last but not least, I wouldn’t recommend tap water, there are just too many chemicals used during  the purifying process. For bathing, showering and cooking with tap water, I recommend using a shower filter, specifically a New Wave Enviro – Enviro Premium Shower Filter brand, just Google it to purchase online or purchase at Whole Foods for arond $45.

Weights (Strength Training)

bicep-pose BM DreadsStrength training is a kind of physical exercise which uses resistance to induce muscular contraction which builds the strength, anaerobic endurance, and skeletal muscles.

When properly done, strength training can provide significant functional benefits and improvement in overall health and well-being, including such benefits as increased muscle, bone, tendon and ligament strength and toughness, improved cardiac function,improved joint function, reduced potential for injury, increased fitness,increased bone density, increased metabolism, and improved lipoprotein lipid profiles, including elevated HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
As an athlete, strength training is essential. The following sports require strength training:bodybuilding, weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman, track,shotput, discus throw, and javelin throw. Many other sports use strength training as part of their training regimen, notably football, basketbal, wrestling, rowing, lacrosse, hockey, polefitness and soccer. Strength training for other sports and physical activities is becoming increasingly popular.

Training commonly uses the technique of progressively increasing the intensity output of the muscle through incremental weight increases and varying exercises and types of equipment for muscle confusion to avoid plateaus and to target specific muscle groups. Strength training is primarily an anaerobic activity, although some athletes have adapted it to provide the benefits of aerobic exercise through circuit training using rapid sets without rest between sets.

What and how to eat!

ABS Totally ripped Man injeans shirt pulled upBasically one needs to eat quality food, organic when at all possible. To lose weight one must burn more calories than one consumes. To gain weight, one must consume more calories than one burns. You must add supplements to your diet, food isn’t enough, because of soil depletion, food isn’t as nutritious as it once was. Drinking water is a must, you must consume half your weight in ounces. For an example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should drink at least 75 ounces of water per day, plus additional glasses during exercise. These are simple nutrition facts that all the fancy science can’t dispute. Generally you want to carb load prior to your workout in order to fuel it and consume protein within 30 minutes post work out to feed the brakdown of muscle exertion.

Colon Cleanse formula – Dr Carter’s recipe

42-15465348I recently visited Dr Vickie Carter, a renowned Naturalist Doctor. She is a proponent of that believes that all disease begins in the colon. Our environment (food, land, water and air) has changed in the just the last 50 years; it is much more polluted now. The digested system breeds good and bad bacteria. A colon cleanse and a proper diet will assist in maintaining one’s digestive system in working order. at the advice of Dr Carter’s recipe, I tried the following combination: 2 Cascara Sagrada Capsules, then in a shaker cup combine 4 ounces of organic apple juice, 4 ounces of purified water, 1 table spoon of Psyllium husk, 2 tablespoons of chlorophyll, 2 tablespoons of hydrated bentonite, vigorously shake or blend the ingredients above and drink immediately, as the fiber in the Psyllium husk will thicken as it does in your intestine (giving you a full feeling. Be sure to take this cleanse solution 1 hour prior to meals or 3 hours after a meal. It’s best to cleanse daily for 2 weeks straight each quarter, so 4 times per year.

Colon cleansing can include a number of alternative therapies claimed to remove “toxins” from the colon. Colon cleansing may be branded colonic or colonic irrigation or colon hydrotherapy.
Some forms of colon cleanse use tubes to inject water into the colon via the rectum using special equipment. If you decide to try hydrotherapy, make sure the equipment is sterilized or new equipment is used for each therapy session. Also check references and reviews for practices providing the service. Some people believe that accumulations of putrefied feces line the walls of the large intestine and that these accumulations include parasites or pathogenic good or bad gut flora, causing general ill-health. Frequent colon cleansing can lead to dependence on enemas to defecate and some herbs may interfere with the effectiveness of prescription drugs. As with any other health practice, one should consult their physician prior to any drastic changes in diet. One should never rely on too frequent cleansing, in order to defecate but periodic cleanse should remove toxins, parasites and bad bacteria. A few other benefits of cleaning colons, is that it jump starts weight loss and shrinks the stomach. Personally, my experience was that it reduced my appetite as well.
