7 Fat & 7 Fiber Food Changes to Drop Cholesterol and Weight

Image
If you have high cholesterol or blood pressure, cutting back on fat and increasing fiber can help lower both. You may also lose weight in the process! Try these food changes to reduce your fat and saturated fat intake. Saturated fat is the hard, artery clogging fat and you want to stay under 20 grams daily whenever possible. Total fat should be less than 50 grams for women and 60 grams for men. 1. Eat only 1oz cheese instead of 2oz and save 5 grams saturated fat. One ounce is the portion of presliced cheese. 2. Buy 95% lean ground beef instead of regular ground beef and save 3.5 grams saturated fat for every 3oz portion. Three ounces is the size of a deck of cards. 3. Instead of whole milk choose 1% and save 3 grams saturated fat per 8oz serving. 4. Choose tub margarine instead of butter and for every tablespoon you will save another 5 grams saturated fat. Here are a few more ideas to trim your overall fat intake: 5. Use low fat cream soups instead of regular for your casserole dish an

Lose Weight with Hibernation Diet

The recent revolutionary Hibernation Diet created by a British pharmacist and a nutrition expert caught my attention by making a powerful connection between poor sleep and obesity. It advocates incorporating mild resistance exercise and a healthy, balanced, and wholesome diet void of highly refined, processed foods such as white bread, pizza, burgers, chocolates, beer and sugar, and suggests taking a generous spoonful or two of honey at night, either as a warm drink, a smoothie or straight from the jar. This fascinating honey hibernation diet promises to help us sleep and lose weight at the same time by using our biology and working with our bodies, rather than against them ' "recovery biology". A new approach to fat metabolism, it requires no straining from aerobics exercise, no wearing out on a treadmill and no pounding it out in the gym. Sounds too easy, too miraculous or too far-fetched to be believable? Natural honey when taken prior to bed is believed to be able to

An increasingly number of the world's population is now eager and interested in looking after their health and in keeping tune with their well-being. It is important to note that this awareness is progressively contributing to the creation of several health supplements to benefit both the adults and the young ones. Dietary and vitamin supplements have constantly proven their worth to health conscious individuals. An excellent daily multivitamin supplement does not only develop your general bodily functions but also improves your mental and physical condition and well being. Occasionally specification is needed in appropriately supplementing nutrients to deal with any individual needs. An example would be in heart disease patients, they would have to take in CoQ10 in preventing the said condition. Alzheimer's disease can be effectively prevented by a regular combination of Vitamin C and E intake. Multivitamin supplements necessarily include all the vitamins and nutrients essenti

Who Else Is Sick Of Protein Powders?

If you've been following a muscle building diet, chances are you've had a lot of protein shakes. Are you starting to get tired of them? If you are I don't blame you. I think it's boring drinking the same old shakes all the time, and that got me thinking. Do you really have to drink these shakes when trying to build muscle? Well, the answer is a definite no. As you probably know, you have to combine weight training with a proper meal plan to grow muscle. That diet must include sufficient calories and lots of protein (as well as healthy carbohydrates and fats, believe it or not). Most of your diet should come from solid foods. Eggs, fish, chicken, and other sources provide you with tastier ways to get your protein, but you will need a lot of it! That's where it gets tricky. You see, you'll probably need quite a bit of protein if you are trying to put on large quantities of muscle. The exact amount will depend on lots of factors including your current weight, your
