Healthy Diet - A Guide to Weight Loss
By Akanett Web Publishing
Here are some diet tips that can be followed anywhere, everyday:

1. Make a delicious low fat mayonnaise by combining one teaspoon of Dijon mustard or satay sauce with a low fat yogurt. 2. Do not skip meals. Skipping meals slicks the body into slowing down the metabolism, attempting to conserve calories during a period where limited fats and fuel are available. Remember that eating increases the metabolism. 3. Stuff vegetables like capsicum and zucchini with flavored fillings or minced chicken, white meat or fish. These are healthy and contain low fat. 4. Take pita bread roll ups or wraps with salad fillings. 5. Eight hours after waking up, our metabolism slows down that is why 30 minutes of exercise before dinner will increase the metabolism for about two to three hours. This produces an increase in burned fat even hours after the work out is over. 6. Add alfalfa or mung beans to salad to get extra iron. 7. Good cooking and healthy eating begins with learning about nutrition and how to prepare healthy recipes. 8. Learn how to make the family favorite recipes and make sure that fats, salt, and sugar are cut out. Substitute non-fat yogurt for cream, stir-fry without oil and use herbs and spices instead of salt to taste. 9. Consult the doctor before beginning an exercise or program. 10. Slowly eat and chew each bite during meals as this would decrease one's appetite. 11. Complete three small meals and two snacks everyday instead of one or two huge meals. 12. Use chicken stock when stir-frying. This will cut down on hidden fat. 13. Buy non-toasted muesli instead of the toasted ones. A plate of toasted muesli contains more fat than a plate of bacon and eggs. 14. As much as possible do not remove the skins of fruits and vegetables since most of the nutrients are concentrated under the skin. 15. Warm water with just a squeeze of lemon juice before breakfast get the metabolism going for the day, this also help preventing constipation and is excellent for the skin. 16. One of the best sources of vegetable protein is from soya beans or tofu. All legumes provide some protein, so include lentils, lima beans etc into casseroles and soups. 17. Look for a "buddy," club, or support mates. This will motivate you to stay and enjoy your program. 18. Though it's hard at first, try not eating 3 hours or more before bedtime. 19. Make pasta a fast food choice - preparing a pasta meal or salad will only take 10-12 minutes. 20. Chilli helps to speed up metabolism - even the milder varieties. 21. Try making omelettes without adding the yolks! A dramatic decrease in fat. 22. Substitute baking soda, baking powder, MSG and soya sauce in cooking. 23. Remove fat by dropping ice cubes into the baking tray. Fat will stick to the ice cubes. 24. Drinking hot water instead of cold water in the morning can increase the speed of your metabolism and burn more calories. 25. Eat before you go food shopping and always prepare a shopping list. Only buy food which relates to your weekly menu plan and don't be tempted to buy goodies.

Make sure that the right discipline is still practiced to promote consistency on the diet plan. This will lead eventually to a healthy life-style and a more fruitful living without the extra fat and extra pounds on the side.

Water Is The Most Important Nutrient

Water makes up about 60-70% of your body weight. Water helps to control the temprature of the body and serves a vehicles for moving nutrients to the different parts of the body. Fluid imbalance can lead to several problems in the body including weight gain.

Water Tips

Drink plenty of water. You body needs a lot of water. Water is not just way to flush out toxin but if you have more water in your body you will generally feel healthier and fitter. This will discourage any tendency to gorge. The best thing about water is that is has no calories at all.

Start your day with a glass of water. Drink a glass of cool water first thing in the morning. It is a wonderful way to start your day and you only need a lesser quantity of your breakfast after that.

Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.

Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another way of making yourself full so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of drinking it one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster.

Hot Fitness Tip of the Week
For most people, maintaining a desirable weight and body fat percentage can only be achieved through an integrated program of nutrition and exercise-or balancing energy intake with energy expenditure. To reduce weight and body fat requires cutting back on calories and increasing the amount of exercise. Dieting alone won't work. Even when a person's weight-control system has genetic flaws that may respond to newly available pharmaceuticals, proper nutrition and plenty of exercise is still part of the prescription for health.
Words of Inspiration
Confidence: Every action you take, brings you more confidence in taking additional actions. Confidence comes from doing. If you lack confidence, then do something about it -- literally. Do something. Take action. No matter how little confidence you may have, still there is something you can bring yourself to do, some action you can take. Go ahead and do it. Take that first step. Keep doing it until you develop the confidence to take the next step. Confidence is something you build with your actions. No one can give it to you or sell it to you. Your confidence must come from you. In what way is your lack of confidence holding you back? What can you do right now to begin building the confidence you need? What small action are you confident enough to take, that will put you on the road to even more confidence? Start where you are. There is something you can do. Make the effort. Build your confidence, and it will serve you well.

Article of the Week: Kick start the new year with healthy breakfast options
Kick start the new year with healthy breakfast options: With people spending less time in the kitchen and skipping breakfast more than ever, can a hot breakfast be fast, convenient and portable. The truth is, you can prepare a breakfast that is both quick and healthy. It's better for your health (and your weight) to eat breakfast than to skip it. And it's definitely better to eat a healthy breakfast, high in fibers and nutrients, than one full of refined grains, sugar, salt, and/or saturated fat. Try to include at least 5 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein in every breakfast. Balancing carbohydrates (preferably from whole grains, fruit and vegetables) with some protein and a little healthier fat will do a better job of staving off hunger until lunch and fueling your entire morning's activities. According to the American Dietetic Association (ADA), most adults consume less than 15 grams (g) of fiber daily, and yet the recommended intake for optimum health is 20 to 35 g. Check out Ten healthy breakfast options: 1. A higher-fiber granola bar (like Fiber One chewy bars), a banana, and 8 ounces low-fat or skim milk. If you want a breakfast that is quick and healthy, this is the perfect option. With this meal, you'll get calcium, protein, fiber, and vitamins. This breakfast will give you 365 calories, 67 grams carbohydrate, 12 grams fiber, 13.5 grams protein, 7.5 grams fat, 3.6 grams saturated fat, 15 mg cholesterol, and 235 mg sodium. 2. 1 small whole-wheat bagel, 1 ounce reduced-fat cheese or 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter, plus 1 cup fresh fruit (like sliced strawberries). (384 calories, 65 grams carbohydrate, 12.3 grams fiber, 20 grams protein, 6 grams fat, 3 grams saturated fat, 15 mg cholesterol, 654 mg sodium.)
