Have You Heard Of The M-Plan?

-

Personally, I don’t like these diet plans that guarantee you’ll lose weight. But if it doesn’t cost anything, why not. Diet Plans don’t work for everyone and some plans only have a small percentage of success. I think we all know that young people can lose weight quicker. And extra fat that you’ve only picked up recently is much easier to lose than old fat (fat that you’ve had for years). Also, women have a harder time losing weight than men. So those differences are the reason every individual has to find a method that works for them. Also, remember that the longer you have had the fat the longer it takes to lose it.

If you’re looking for the latest celebrity fad diet craze, here it is the M-Plan Diet. According to countless fashion and gossip magazines, this is the diet that celebrities like Katy Perry and Kelly Osbourne are using to lose weight in 14 days. And according to those same sources, the weight loss program helps you lose weight from your hips and thighs but not from your bust.

What is the M-Plan Diet?

If you like mushrooms, then this is the diet for you. According to several sources, dieters on the M-Plan replace one meal each day with a mushroom-based meal. Apparently, the diet works better if the mushrooms are raw. Dieters stay on the diet for 14 days and Wala! they have slimmer thighs and tinier waistlines but still, maintain their cleavage.

Who Developed the M-Plan Diet?

Whenever I review a diet, I always want to know who created it. In my experience, weight loss programs that are developed by registered dietitians or professionals with a strong nutritional background are most likely to work. So, who developed the M-Plan diet? Who knows!? Not one article about the diet mentions a developer of the weight loss plan. There is no website or company that claims to own it. Much like the 3-Day Military Diet, the mushroom diet seems to be an internet phenomenon more than a legitimate weight loss program. This should make any dieter skeptical. If the M-Plan Diet had any merit then chances are good that someone would be taking credit for it and making tons of money.

I don’t want to discredit the diet entirely because there is no legitimate name associated with it. So, I looked at the actual nutritional plan. Can mushrooms really help you lose weight? I went to a well-known nutritional expert, Heidi Diller to get a credible answer. Diller is a registered dietitian nutritionist with years of experience helping clients stay healthy. Diller explains why replacing a higher-calorie meal with lower-calorie mushrooms can make sense.“It’s no wonder that mushrooms are now part of another diet craze. They are loaded with vitamins and minerals and have very few calories so they make the perfect diet food. In fact, using mushrooms as a meat substitute is a perfect way to lower the calories of any meal to only 44 calories per cup. Plus, mushrooms have proven to be just as satisfying as meat.

”But she goes on to address the claim that mushrooms have the power to maintain your cleavage.“The promise that mushrooms are magical in some sense and can whisk away fat from hips and thighs and not the breast area is nonsense. If that were the case, I’d have them in my cereal.”So there you have it, ladies. Don’t waste your time on the M-Plan Diet. There’s nothing wrong with replacing one meal each day with a healthy, veggie-based dish. That can be a great way to improve your nutrient intake and reduce your daily calories. But mushrooms have no magical power to rescue your bust line, whittle your waist or make you look like Katy Perry. Sorry.

I still like the idea of a mushroom-based meal a few times a week. I’m always looking for ways to make a meal without meat. We should be trying to get more nutrition and protein from plants and less from animals. Beef and pork are good sources of protein but you also get animal fat with them. Reducing animal protein will reduce animal fat in your diet and that’s good for weight loss.

It's loaded with healthy foods and research findings suggest following this diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.  According to the Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, the Mediterranean diet was introduced in 1993 by Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health Organization.  The diet includes: Olives and olive oil Whole grains, mostly in bread and cereal rather than pasta Very little red meat Fish and seafood Some cheese, but less milk Lots of vegetables and fruit Plenty of legumes and nuts A little red wine The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, legumes and nuts, far greater than the typical Western diet, and low in saturated fat.

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to
