Welcome
to Weight
Loss for Women
We have done the hard work for you so that you
don't have to bother. Below, you'll find extensive information on
leading your-thyroid-and-weightloss articles and products to help you on your way to
success with your weight loss program.
Your Thyroid and Weight loss – The Connection is Real By Akanett Web Publishing Your thyroid dictates much of your metabolism, any malfunction or disease afflicting this area may cause you to have problems in metabolism leading to a drastic problem with your weight – you may either gain weight, lose weight, or may find that losing weight is harder than usual.
Those that plan diets do not take into consideration how their thyroids and metabolism may affect their program. Most experts and even the media pitch in and recommend that the best way to lose weight is cut calories.
Those with a condition called hyperthyroidism suffer from an overactive thyroid leading to one having his or her metabolism skyrocket. If this is the case, then you will probably lose weight fast. This is a nice proposition for some who wish to lose weight. However, this is actually hazardous to the health.
Aside from the medical difficulties such a disease brings, one will also notice weight problems as a result. These people have trouble keeping on weight and may notice weakness and bulging of the eyes. This disease may need special treatment from doctors.
Hypothyroidism on the other hand works in the other direction – slowing metabolism until the body gains weight at an incredible rate. Like hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism causes a general weakness in the body. It too may need special treatment and may cause serious health problems if left unattended.
While cutting calories in itself can be very hard for most people – imagine, the people involved in life and death struggles at the supermarket regarding whether to buy that extra box of sweets, some have exactly the opposite problem.
Instead of eating too much calories – which is a problem in itself, they eat too little calories instead.
Problem? What Problem
The problem with some is that they believe that since the experts say that they have to cut calories, cutting calories to an inordinate amount will reap greater results. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. While cutting calories helps diets, consuming too little calories pushed the body into a hoard mode, the body’s metabolism slow to adapt to the lesser amount of available energy.
If your body enters this mode, your body will work at such slow metabolism that losing weight becomes impossible. The technique here should be to reduce calories without the body slowing its metabolism. Only then can losing weight become easier.
Another problem that can arise from decreased metabolism is that when your metabolism slows due to a drastic reduction in metabolism, and then you suddenly eat a good, hearty, calorie-filled meal, you are bound to gain more weight owing to the increased surplus of energy.
This is why an imbalanced meal is highly discouraged among those that seek to lose weight. The sudden loss and increase of calories will cause an imbalance in one’s energy consumption directly affecting fat deposit.
Here is a simple computation to help you get to the right amount of calories you will need per day so that you get your nutrients in the right balance.
First of all, multiply your weight in kilograms by 30. If you only know your weight in pounds, divide it by 2.2 to get to its English equivalent. We divide this number by 30 because that is the number of calories you need to maintain your weight per pound of weight.
For example if your weight in pounds is 150, divide it by 2.2. That will give you a figure of 68.18. This is your weight in kilograms. Multiply this by 30 and you will arrive at the amount of calories you will need per day to maintain 150 lbs.
You may consult a nutritionist to help you come lose weight. In the end it all comes down to math. If you consume more that your body needs, it stores it as fat. Now is probably a good time to start studying the back of those grocery cartons.
Try to keep your diet at a 40% protein, 25% fat, and 35% carbohydrate meals at 300 calories per meal. Spread out these meals in a day for optimum results.
While it may be simple computation to get at numbers, do not forget the earlier mentioned fact that the body adapts to its condition. Expose it to extreme ones and you may find yourself getting results you never wanted. Consult a nutritionist for more advice.

New Happenings this Week Women Fitness Team wishes all its subscribers A Happy and Health Filled New Year. Resolve to make 2009 your healthiest year. Focus on healthy diet, smart exercise and minus all the stress in your life. 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. This week we focus on tips to Kick start the new year with healthy breakfast options. In Fitness, Namita Nayyar. 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. Suceess Quote Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.- Helen Keller Healthy Recipe Acorn Squash Stuffed with Apricots and Cornbread: Serves: 12 Ingredients: 4 cups cornbread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing squash, 2 large Spanish onions, thinly sliced, 1/2 cup finely diced celery with leaves, 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh sage, 2 tsp. finely chopped garlic, 1 1/2 cups hot water or vegetable broth, 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted (optional), 2 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley, Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, 3 large acorn squash, halved and seeded, Boiling water. Direction: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On baking sheet, spread cornbread cubes and toast until lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Transfer to bowl and set aside. In heavy 2-quart pot, heat oil over high heat. Add onions, celery, sage and garlic and saute 20 minutes. Add water or broth, apricots and pecans, if desired. Simmer until two-thirds of liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Fold vegetables, parsley and salt and pepper, to taste, into cornbread. (Filling can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.) When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. In baking pans large enough to hold them in single layer, place squash halves cut-side down. Brush skin lightly with oil. Pour 1/2-inch boiling water into pans and bake 20 minutes, until squash are halfway cooked. (Or, in microwave-safe dish, microwave 10-15 minutes, until halfway cooked.) Transfer squash to plate until cool enough to handle. (This can be done 8 hours ahead.) Fill squash with stuffing and return, stuffing side up, to pan. (This can be done 4 hours ahead.) Bake about 1 hour, until squash pierce easily with tip of knife. Before serving, cut each squash half in half again. Nutritional Information: Per serving: 212 calories, 8 g total fat (2 g saturated fat), 33 g carbohydrates, 3 g protein, 4 g dietary fiber, 312 mg sodium. Courtesy: A.I.C.R 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.)

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.
Water also plays an
important part in weight control.
