The Benefits Of Eating Fewer Calories

-

 Today I want to write about the waste and overindulgence we have in our lives and how this affects our body. I accidentally ran across an article about buying food at the grocery store. The author goes on to say he was a single young adult under 30 who had been spending $80 a week for groceries because he could. He made a decent living and could afford an $80 food budget so “why not”.

So one day he was reading about a student who had no income at that time and was spending his money to get himself through grad school. One day he only had two dollars for food. He only ate carrots and two apples that day.

So after reading this article, our author decided to experiment by cutting his food budget to $42.50 a week. He included any restaurant food in the $42 and wouldn’t take any free meals during the experiment.

He was still buying all the essentials like chicken, produce, whole grain bread, rice, potatoes, eggs, and sliced turkey for lunch. Plus things like peanut butter and popcorn. He ended the experiment after 4 weeks and concluded that he wasn’t starving himself, or depriving himself, but he did stop buying the kale chips and those expensive protein bars, and canned and bottled drinks.

By eating a healthy clean diet and including more activity every day you’ll consume fewer calories and start to burn more body fat. You’ll become a healthier person with more energy. Read about “eating clean”. You’ll find free information on the internet. There’s no magic pill to lose body fat, you just have to start living a healthy lifestyle that includes more activity. The more calories you eat the harder it is for your body to function properly.

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods eaten by people living in the Mediterranean region, especially Greece. 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
