Eggs and avocadoSurprising Hidden Fat Burning Gems

Everybody knows fruits and vegetables are the typical “healthy foods”. You may be surprised to hear some of the choices for the top fat burning foods that are best for weight loss and good health. I know I was, because I had always heard not so good things about the consumption of these foods. Too high in fat, too much cholesterol, etc… you get the picture. But as I have done more reading and the “experts” have done more research seems that these foods are not so bad for you and actually provide some badly needed nutrients to for you metabolism and body to function better and are good for fat loss.

1. Egg Yolks – What! You say. Complete egg yolks with all of their fat and cholesterol.  Oh and by the way, the thought now is that the cholesterol in egg yolks actually raises your GOOD cholesterol and helps balance proper ratios.

You will find that there are loads of vitamins, minerals, and trace nutrients in egg yolks. This makes them one of the most nutrient dense foods available. The list all of the vital nutrients in egg yolks is too long to list here but just remember, egg yolks should NOT be avoided in favor of egg whites.  Even the protein is more bioavailable when you include the yolks!

So don’t be afraid to eat eggs and start burning stomach fat faster.

2.  Avocados - Loaded with healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Avocados are another best fat burning “fatty food”! Avocados also will add a rich creamier taste to your dishes and make them more delicious. A great side benefit is that the healthy fat in avocados will help control hunger and fat burning hormones in your body.

If you have not tried, add a little avocado or guacamole to your morning eggs. Or put a few slices of avocado on salads, sandwiches, and burgers. You will start burning body fat faster.

Avocados would be considered one of the best healthy super foods.

grass fed beef

3.  Grass-fed beef - Grass-fed beef contains much higher levels of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and lower omega-6 fats. Our diet of processed foods contains too much omega-6 today. Another great benefit is that this beef also contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and linoleic acid (CLA). Linoleic acid is a healthy fat that helps your body to burn fat.

You may have to go to a butcher or perhaps a natural food store to get grass-fed beef. Your typical grocery store will most likely have grain fed beef. This beef is from cattle that may have been in poor health and because of their diet they have lesser nutrition values. You will also find that the omega-6 to omega-3 fat ratios that are out of line.

Healthy Fats and BodyImplement these 3 tips to help lose weight and eating a smarter, healthier diet. I would be shocked if you do not start to seeing a leaner body and more energy in no time.

1.  Healthy Fats: For each meal you should be sure to include some healthy fats.  We have been indoctrinated to believe fats are a bad thing. But in actuality, some fats are good for you and help your body with appropriate fat burning. and muscle building hormone levels in your body.  When you consume sufficient healthy fats it is beneficial in helping keep your appetite in check.

Some example of health fats, raw nuts, seeds, egg yolks, avocados, extra virgin olive oil – which contains the highest antioxidant level of olive oils, coconut oil, and grass-fed meats.

2. Appetite suppression: About 30 minutes prior to your meals eat a handful of raw nuts such as pecans, walnuts or almonds. This will aid in holding down your appetite and provide the added benefit of adding some protein and fiber to your diet, which your body requires to function at its best. You will find yourself eating healthy fats and you will consume less calories and get more nutrition. Many people do not realize that nuts are very high in nutrient density. Make it a goal to have a high quality protein source with each meal and snack.

Adequate protein with your meals will support your body in controlling blood sugar and insulin levels by assisting in the slow the breakdown of carbohydrates.

3. Watch the types of carbohydrates: It has been demonstrated that, when people start to minimize their grain consumption from refined grains such as cereals, bagels, breads, pasta, and so on, their bodies eliminate body fat much easier.  Natural sugars in whole fruits and berries are good for the body. Also, the fiber in fruits helps your body to process sugar more effectively. You want to be careful of fruit juices. Fruit juices are comprised primarily of  sugar and the most important ingredient, fiber, has been removed in the processing of the juice.

Your best bet is to decrease your intake of refined grains and emphasize carbohydrate intake primarily with whole fruits and vegetables. In many cases just this single step will help people manage their weight more easily.

I look forward to your feedback and comments.

Make it a Great Day!

Balanced DietI will open by saying something everyone already knows – Lifelong weight management is key if you want be healthy and have longevity. To maintain and or lose weight your first priority should be a healthy, well balanced diet.  Exercise is of course important, but your nutritional diet is number “1”.

Recently, I was out with some friends and we stopped at one of the more popular fast food establishments. I am not very big on fast food, but in this case everybody wanted to go. In these instances, you just have to do what you can to find the healthiest possible choice. When you are in this situation, here’s a little tip you can follow always keep away from the soda and all things deep fried. That would be items like french fries, hash browns, hush puppies etc. Another thing to avoid is all breaded foods such as chicken nuggets, chicken patties or breaded fish sandwiches. It is important to remember that all of these foods are fried in trans fats from the industrial hydrogenated vegetable oils. Most if not all fast food restaurants use this type of oil to fry all of these items.

There have been studies indicating that as little as 1 gram of trans fat per day can be detrimental for your body. Bad things like inflammation, clogging and hardening of the arteries, heart disease, various forms of cancer can be attributed to tans fat consumption. And if that is not bad enough you are more than likely packing on flab to the stomach and hip areas. Yes that is correct, as little as 1 gram of trans fat per day – day in and day out!

With that in mind, did you realize that a typical fast-food meal – say a breaded chicken or fish sandwich, with an order of fries can contain as much as 10 grams of trans fat! If you chose to have a cookie or small piece of pie for dessert you’re looking at about 13 grams of trans fat for your meal.

trans-fatMakes you wonder, if 1 gram a day can slowly and unknowingly kill you, what affect is 13 grams having! Oh by the way, this is only one, what about those that are eating 20-30 grams of trans fat per day?

It is imperative that you understand that the only person looking out for your health and best interests is YOU.

So the dilemma, how do you avoid the bad foods and consume a sensibly healthy meal when you’re eating fast food. Drinks, avoid the sodas, they are made with highly processed high fructose corn syrup, inevitably this will end up as superfluous belly fat. Water should be your first choice as it is always the best drink. If you require something with flavor, go for unsweetened iced tea. If you are having breakfast, look to an egg, ham, and cheese on an english muffin, avoid a croissant because they contain a lot of trans fat. Another good choice would be a fruit & nut salad. Lunch or dinner, consider the grilled chicken sandwich, chili, a grilled chicken salad no croutons, more trans fat, perhaps a plain cheeseburger.

What you want to keep in the forefront of your mind when you go to fast food heaven is that the most terrible food items are the sodas and fries, and anything deep fried.

Not sure, but I believe all fast food restaurants list nutrition information for all of their foods, you may have to ask for it. Just keep in mind, as little as one gram of trans could cause internal harm. When you see how many grams of trans fat you’re actually consuming, you might change your mind about finishing the meal.

Wheat ProductsToday everyone wants to know how to lose weight and they realize that trans fats and high fructose corn syrup are not good for you. But I believe you will be shocked when you realize that these two may be packing on the fat.

First is wheat products… many people often mistakenly think that this type of food is healthy. Wheat products include most breads, cereals, bagels, muffins, pasta, crackers, etc.  You would want to include “whole wheat” in this category of fattening food.

An initial point to consider is that a considerable percentage of the population is at some level intolerant to the gluten in wheat and some other grains. Those who suffer from full blown celiac disease (also known as coeliac disease) are the most sensitive to it. People do not appreciate is that the majority of the population was never meant to eat large volumes of wheat and wheat products. Our digestive system has not adapted to large amounts of wheat in our diets.

The human digestive system has developed and evolved over several hundred thousand years. Over this time, the primary diet has consisted of meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds – what most refer to as a hunter-gatherer diet. On the other hand wheat has come into the human diet over the past two thousand or so years. What is more important is that the large quantities of wheat have been in the past 80-100 years.

Interestingly, it has been observed that when people eliminate wheat products from their diet for 2-3 weeks, they not only start losing body fat more quickly but many no longer have headaches and digestive issues that they have suffered from for years. In some they also notice a change for the better in their skin.

Fruit JuiceThe 2nd illustration of a food that is one of the worst fattening and really surprises most people is fruit juice.

You say WHAT, how can that be. I have always been told juice is good for you. Well, most fruits are incredibly healthy for you. But what happens when you make fruit juice is that you create a high calorie sugary drink that has lost the most advantageous and important ingredient – fiber!

By drinking the fruit juice your body is left craving more carbohydrates because it is getting the juice but not the satisfaction of fiber needed in our diets. Another important point is that the fiber in the whole fruit helps to slow the blood sugar response in the body when compared to just the juice. As a side note, apple and orange juice are two of the worst examples. Think of the fiber left behind!

The essence to all of this – having too much fruit juice will make you fat. However, if you eat the whole fruit, fiber and all, your diet will be more balanced and rich in high nutrient density. However, you still need to work on the other categories of your nutrition regimen and unprocessed foods.

CelluliteAll women I know want to get rid of cellulite!  Is it possible? Below you will find some helpful tips. (be sure to see the video below)

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a topographic skin change that is claimed to occur in most post pubertal females. Descriptive names for cellulite include orange peel syndrome, and cottage cheese skin. It appears as a change of skin topography evident by skin dimpling that occurs mainly in women on the pelvic region, lower limbs, and abdomen and is caused by the herniation of subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissue, leading to a padded or orange peel–like appearance.

Cellulite is a description rather than a physical object. The term was first used in the 1920s and began appearing in English language publications in the late 1960s, the earliest reference in Vogue magazine, “Like a swift migrating fish the word cellulite has suddenly crossed the Atlantic.”

Its existence as a real disorder has been questioned, and the prevailing medical opinion is that it is merely the “normal condition of many women and some men”. One cosmetic company has noted its historical place in industrialized societies as an “inappropriate term used by women to describe curves which they judge to be too plump and not very aesthetic”.

Cellulite is thought to occur in 80-90% of the postpubertal females. There appears to be a hormonal component to its presentation. It is rarely seen in males.

cellulite

What causes cellulite?

The causes of cellulite are not well understood, but there are several theories that have been put forth as explanations. Among these are:

  • Hormonal factors – hormones likely play an important role in cellulite development. Many believe estrogen, insulin, noradrenaline, thyroid hormones, and prolactin are part of the cellulite production process.
  • Genetics - certain genes are required for cellulite development. Genes may predispose an individual to particular characteristics associated with cellulite, such as gender, race, slow metabolism, distribution of fat just underneath the skin, and circulatory insufficiency.
  • Diet - people who eat too much fat, carbohydrates, or salt and too little fiber are likely to have greater amounts of cellulite.
  • Lifestyle factors - cellulite may be more prevalent in smokers, those who do not exercise, and those who sit or stand in one position for long periods of time.
  • Clothing - underwear with tight elastic across the buttocks (limiting blood flow) may contribute to the formation of cellulite.

How can cellulite be prevented?

Eating healthy, low fat foods such as fruits, vegetables, and fiber can help one to avoid cellulite. Similarly exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and reducing stress are recommended to prevent cellulite. In addition wearing thongs, boy shorts, or looser fitting undergarments can prevent cellulite that might form due to tight elastic.

Here is a list of some of the most harmful items you can put in your body. These Deadly Fatty Foods have been shown to create health issues and diseases.

  1. Hydrogenated oils, trans fats:  Produced by chemically altering the oils. In the process the oils are subjected to ultra high pressure and temperature. Then industrial solvents such as hexane for extraction are added, with a metal catalyst to promote the artificial hydrogenation. Then, bleaching and deodorizing agents are added to the mix to finish the process. It is really unclear to me how the FDA allows this to pass as food. Logically these oils, with all of the ingredients and process they go through cannot be good for the body. Hydrogenated oils have been linked to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other problems. Studies have shown that even small are dangerous for us. Be sure to read the ingredients of everything you buy. If you see partially hydrogenated oils of any kind, margarine, or shortening, protect yourself and do not purchase the item – get a healthier alternative.
    .
  2. Refined oils:  Most oils in your supermarket are refined, you will find this true of even the oils touted as healthy oils such as canola oils. As with hydrogenated oils, many refined oils still undergo similar high temperature, high pressure, solvent extraction, bleaching, and deodorizing processes. Be aware of oils labeled vegetable oil, soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, and even many canola oils. They may have been through these processesandtherefore will be damaged. This refining process alters the natural structure of the fats, eliminates natural antioxidants, creates free radicals, and produces a product that is unhealthy for our bodies. You will note that the extreme increase in heart disease in the middle of the 20th century occurred about the same time as the rapid increase in the use of hydrogenated and refined oils inthe food supply. Interesting coincidence! You should be on the look out for the labels that say “virgin”, “cold pressed” or “cold expeller pressed”..
  3. All deep fried foods: This one hurts, as it includes tortilla chips, potato chips, French fries, donuts, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, and so on.
    .
  4. Homogenized milk fat – In its natural raw state, milk fat is a healthy fat. In a comparison of grass fed vs. grain fed cows, the milk and beef from grass fed cows has shown higher quantities of healthy fats like conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega-3 fatty. Long-established populations all over the world have demonstrated perfect or near perfect health while consuming raw, non-pasteurized, non-homogenized, full fat dairy products as part of their diets.  Food processing destroys the nutrient value by pasteurizing and homogenizing milk fat. This process creates a potentially dangerous situation inside the human body. Today, unless you personally know a farmer, you will find it almost impossible to find raw milk in the US. You can go to  http://www.realmilk.com for additional information on the benefits of raw milk and to find out if it’s available near you. One possible alternative, cultured dairy products like yogurt have beneficial microorganisms added back to them making them better for you.  Given the alternatives, since you probably won’t find raw milk, sticking to skim milk is the best option to avoid the homogenized milk fat. If you use butter for cooking, your best option is grass-fed butter.
    .
If you care about your health and the health of your family and loved ones, be sure to check the ingredients of everything you buy.

Labels do not tell the story, ingredients do! Companies spend vast sums of money on marketing and testing to determine what will attract the consumer and encourage them to purchase their product. Unfortunately, the claims on labels may be true in the most basic meaning but do not tell the whole story. A perfect example of this is a bottle of salad dressing that claims to be made with olive oil. The ingredients may show that although there is olive oil in the salad dressing it is an irrelevant amount compared to the more prevalent oils, which are more than likely, the “unhealthy oils”.

I hope this series has shed some light on the truth about dietary fats and helped you to better understand their importance in a healthy diet. .
.

A fully comprehensive analysis on dietary protein, carbohydrates, and fat, and how to compile all of this information into a diet that promotes a lean healthy body with a low body fat percentage is provided in the book “The Truth About Six Pack Abs”. Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed! .

Carbohydrates, white foods and potatoes.

Glycemic Index, and “White Foods” - a Lean-Body’s Friend or Enemy?

Many professionals in the health and fitness business refer to carbohydrates, white foods and potatoes as being  because of the high glycemic index. There are those who say avoid every white carbohydrate.

Certain items such as white bread and refined white sugar are two things we should not be feeding our bodies, I can’t agree with avoiding every “white carbohydrate”. There has been a lot of discussion lately about colorful foods and the protective antioxidants that they contain. The buzz is to focus on colors and stay away from white.

“White Foods” aren’t automatically always the bad guy

Colorful foods provide great things for the body, I think it is a mistake to specifically avoid carbohydrates, white foods and potatoes. An abundance of white foods have specific nutrients that are hard to find elsewhere. Here are a few examples…

Onions & Garlic

Both are white and they are filled with protective phytonutrients, vitamins, and trace minerals that aren’t easy to find in another place in a standard diet… such nutrients as allicin, quercetin (an important flavonoid), chromium, and other unique anti-inflammatory nutrients.

Cauliflower

Here is another example of a white food that is great for you. Cauliflower is full of vitamin C, fiber, minerals, and special compounds such as glucosinolates and thiocyanates, particularly abundant in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.  A little-known fact is that cruciferous vegetables help to combat other estrogenic compounds in our food supply and environment and can help prevent excess belly fat.  You want eat that cauliflower!

Mushrooms

White mushrooms have high levels of nutrients and antioxidants. White mushrooms are high in a two particucal types of antioxidants called polyphenols and ergothioneine.

Potatoes

Now let us get to White potatoes (which by the way, can also be found in red, yellow, purple varieties, etc). Numerous health professionals claim that potatoes are a bad carbohydrate because of the notion that they have a high glycemic index.

The generalization that most low glycemic index carbohydrate choices will help you lose body fat easier than high glycemic index choices can be made. It is important to consider that there are many other factors that determine how your body will react-to and process the carbohydrates you eat, such as glycemic load and how you combine the high glycemic index food with other foods.

Using glycemic load as an example, watermelon has a high glycemic index. Nevertheless, the glycemic load of a normal serving of watermelon is too low for your body to start packing on body fat just because you ate this high glycemic index fruit. To get enough grams of carbohydrates to have any damaging glycemic effect, you would have to eat such an massive quantity of watermelon, that it is just not realistic and would not be comfortable.

Watermelon is a great source of vitamins, minerals, and lycopene. It should not be avoided because it has a high glycemic index. Bottom line, candy bars, cupcakes, and donuts make you fat… NOT watermelons, carrots or potatoes… French fries excluded of course.

Food combinations are important in how your body processes the carbohydrates and the associated blood sugar and insulin response you receive. For example, if you mix a high glycemic index carbohydrate with an extra source of fiber, healthy fats, or even certain proteins, many times the blood sugar and glycemic response will be slowed down considerably by the way you combined the food.

White potatoes are actually a healthy carbohydrate when eaten in the proper form… with the entire skin, and don’t mess them up them by deep frying them into french fries! French fries are one of the most wicked foods ever invented for your health. They soaked in a scorching bath of trans fats in a deep fryer.

Potatoes contain so many vitamins and minerals that the list is too long to list. And, as long as you eat the skins, you get a good dose of fiber too.

Below is a recipe for you to try:

A Potato Side Dish

Desired quantity of baby potatoes, a mixture of white, red, yellow, and purple baby potatoes – great for the color!

  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 or 2 onions
  • a couple cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 or 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil and/or coconut oil
  • a little salt and pepper to taste (I like using a sea salt instead of normal commercial salt)

Cut the baby potatoes into slightly smaller pieces and place in a steamer until soft all the way through. Slice up the peppers and onions into strips and add with the chopped garlic into a pan with the olive oil. Cook the peppers, onions, and garlic until tender, and then add the steamed baby potatoes. Stir it all together and serve. This is a delicious and healthy side dish that goes great with chicken or red meat.

As always, I look forward to your comments

5 Lies About Easy Weight Loss

1. For Easy Weight Loss. eat what you want as long as you eat less.

Great idea and it is most likely true that many people eat more than they should. But, if you are eating less and it is all the wrong things cake, cookies, McDonalds it will make no difference how little you eat. If you are active and exercise daily, as we all should, this only complicates matters. You body needs proper nutrition.

2. Fat Free and Sugar Free is healthy.

Please check out the posting 9 potentially harmful side affects of Aspartame or AminoSweet if you believe that artificial sweeteners are ok. The reality is that on foods that are labeled Fat Free and Sugar Free have to have some interesting mix of artificial ingredients to offer some sort of taste. Be sure to look at the nutrition labels to see what is in the product and then think about how much you really want those ingredients in your body. To a very large degree Fat Free and Sugar Free is a marketing ploy. Butter may be sugar free, but would you make a diet of it?

3. If you eat less you will lose more.

Although true to a point, you must be careful to get the appropriate caloric intake to support a healthy system. It has been said that around 1200 per day is a good number. However, different people may require more or less. You should see a doctor to see what is correct for you. The body has a built in mechanism most likely from prehistoric times to go into starvation mode if it determines that you are not getting enough food. In that case it actually retains fat as an emergency source of nutrition.

4. Beware of Fruits and Vegetables.

There is a school of thought out there that many fruits and vegetables are low in fiber and high in sugar, therefore they may not be the best foods for a diet, Rubbish! If you go back over time, say a million or so years, what was the primary diet made up of. True if you inundate these wonderful natural foods with carcinogens they probably will not do too much good for you. But when grown and harvested properly these are the best! Providing you are not allergic to them. Check out Nutrient-Dense Fruits & Vegetables.

5. Poor on the High Protein and Fats.

No doubt that protein and fat are essential in your diet, but the point is it must be balanced. Carbs may be a problem for some who make that their basic diet. But in reasonable quantities this can be good for you.  Too much of any one thing will not be good for you, especially over the long run.

For easy weight loss in a healthy manner, have a balanced diet of fresh fruits, vegetables and protein. You can supplement with protein shakes, vitamins and minerals, 4 Facts about Vitamins, to be sure you are receiving the appropriate support for your body‚  nutritional needs.

And don’t skimp on the exercise!

Please leave your comments, I would love to hear what you think.

9 potentially harmful side affects of Aspartame or AminoSweet.

Aspartame or AminoSweet is estimated to be in 5000 to 6000 products today.

Recently rebranded as AminoSweet, Aspartame is commonly known as the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. The sweetener was discovered by accident in 1965 when James Schlatter, a chemist of G.D. Searle Company, was testing an anti-ulcer drug.

Although controversial, these 9 common afflictions have been tied to aspartame:

  1. Headaches/migraines
  2. Nausea
  3. Abdominal pains
  4. Fatigue (blocks sufficient glucose entry into brain)
  5. Sleep problems
  6. Vision problems
  7. Anxiety attacks
  8. Depression
  9. Asthma/chest tightness.


.
In the article Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added to foods it is noted that:

One common complaint of persons suffering from the effect of aspartame is memory loss. Ironically, in 1987, G.D. Searle, the manufacturer of aspartame, undertook a search for a drug to combat memory loss caused by excitatory amino acid damage. Blaylock is one of many scientists and physicians who are concerned about excitatory amino acid damage caused by ingestion of aspartame and MSG.

The risk to infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and persons with certain chronic health problems from excitotoxins are great. Even the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), which usually understates problems and mimics the FDA party-line, recently stated in a review that:

“It is prudent to avoid the use of dietary supplements of L-glutamic acid by pregnant women, infants, and children. The existence

of evidence of potential endocrine responses, i.e., elevated cortisol and prolactin, and differential responses between males and females, would also suggest a neuroendocrine link and that supplemental L-glutamic acid should be avoided by women of childbearing age and individuals with affective disorders.”

According to Wikipedia.org entry for Aspartame – Upon ingestion, aspartame breaks down into natural residual components, including aspartic acid, phenylalanine, methanol,[33] and further breakdown products including formaldehyde,[34] known to have a number[which?] of detrimental effects on the human body,[citation needed] formic acid, and a DKP – Aspartylphenylalanine diketopiperazine.

It is always best to do your own due diligence. Then you can decide for yourself the health impact of Aspartame ‚ or AminoSweet.

I would love to hear your feedback, please comment.
