Pure Hoodia Gordonii Weight Loss

The holidays can be stressful… and unfortunately, many people reach for food as comfort. If you find yourself regularly eating in response to stress, anxiety, sadness, boredom, anger, loneliness, relationship problems, or poor self-esteem, try to break the habit with some of my strategies below.

* Learn to recognize your hunger. Before you automatically pop something into your mouth, rate your hunger on a scale of 1 to 5 — 1 being ravenous and 5 being full. Make every effort to avoid eating when your hunger is a 4 or a 5.

* Find alternatives to eating. Make a personal list of activities you can do instead of eating. Perhaps go for a walk, call a friend, listen to music, take a hot shower/bath, exercise, clean your house, polish your nails, surf the Internet, schedule outstanding appointments, watch television, look through a photo album, etc.

* Keep a food journal. Logging your food will help to identify your toughest timeframes. It also will make you accountable… so perhaps you’ll be less apt to reach for unnecessary food.

* Three-food interference. Make the commitment to first eat three specific healthy foods before starting on caloric comfort foods (i.e., an apple, handful of baby carrots and a yogurt). If after that, you still want to continue with your comfort foods, give yourself permission. However, most of the time, the three foods are enough to stop you from moving on.

* Exercise regularly. Daily exercise relieves stress and puts you in a positive mindset, which provides greater strength to pass on the unhealthy fare.

* Get enough sleep. Research shows that sleep deprivation can increase hunger by decreasing Leptin levels, the appetite regulating hormone that signals fullness. With adequate sleep, you’ll also be less tired and have more resolve to fight off the urge to grab foods for comfort.

1. Your weight affects you in many ways other than your appearance:

* Your overall quality of life;
* self-esteem;
* health risks;
* depression;
* and physical abilities are also influenced.

Think of all the positive changes you can experience by losing weight.

2. You will need to see your doctor for a physical if you haven’t had one recently and you really should get her approval before starting a weight loss regime.

3. You should ask yourself these questions as you begin:

* Why do you want to lose weight?
* Are you truly committed? Do you have a support system set up?
* Can you accept mistakes without giving up altogether?

4. To lose weight effectively, you will have to permanently change four aspects of your life:

1.) what you eat
2.) how you eat
3.) your behavior and
4.) your activity level.

5. You shouldn’t set your sights too high (… like losing 30 pounds in a month. Those signs advertising weight loss pills are not true!).

Small goals (e.g. 5 pounds; 10 percent of your current weight) are far more attainable and easier to stay focused on.

Obesity surgery helps severely obese people lose weight by reducing the size of the stomach, by bypassing a portion of the body’s digestive system, or a combination of these procedures.

But the American Obesity Association warns that the surgery does have potential risks. Here are some factors to consider on the association’s list of possible complications:

* Nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain from overeating.
* Gastrointestinal fluids leaking into the abdominal area.
* Restrictive bands slipping out of place or eroding.
* Restrictive staples detaching or eroding.

Low carbohydrate diets like the popular Atkins plan are no more likely to either cause heart disease, or prevent it, than a typical low-fat diet, a new study shows.

Indeed the rate of heart disease among women who follow a low carbohydrate diet is no higher than it is among women who eat foods that are low in fat and high in carbohydrates, researchers at Harvard School of Public Health found. The study, which tracked 83,000 female nurses, was published in this week’s New England Journal of Medicine.

“It’s not that the two diets are equally good,” Harvard’s Thomas Halton told Reuters. “In fact, they’re both equally bad,” he said adding, “This is definitely an eye-opening study and it goes against a lot of what people think is common wisdom for nutrition.”

Some previous studies have shown that the Atkins diet, which is low in carbohydrates and high in fat and protein, increased the risk of heart disease.

The only diet that reduces the risk of the disease — and does so dramatically — is one where the fat and protein come from vegetable sources, the researchers found.

Women who showed a much lower rate of heart attacks tended to get their protein from beans, legumes, oatmeal, whole grain, tofu and brown rice, and their fat from nuts, olive oil and canola oil.

“They had a 30 percent reduction in the risk of heart disease over 20 years, which I find shocking,” Halton said. “You can get the positives of the low-fat diet and the positives of the low-carb diet, and none of the negatives.”

The reason that vegetable sources of protein and fat are so beneficial, he said, is that those foods produce a gradual increase in the blood sugar, not the rapid spikes generated by low-fat foods that are high in high in sugar.

“The way Americans are going low-fat is very unhealthy,” Halton said. “They have a very high glycemic load. They’re taking sugar. They’re taking white bread. They’re taking white rice and pasta. That certainly isn’t the answer.”

Although the study tracked female nurses, “the pathology of heart disease is not all that different in men and women,” Halton said.

About one in four overweight American children have sleep trouble, new research shows. However, regular exercise can help those yawning youngsters.

The study of 100 black and white boys and girls, ages 7 to 11, found that one-fourth of overweight, inactive children tested positive for sleep-disordered breathing, including the telltale sign of snoring.

But the number of children with sleep problems was cut in half after about three months of vigorous after-school physical activity, such as basketball, tag, and jumping rope.

Even children who did not have sleep problems at the start of the study showed improved sleep scores after boosting their levels of physical activity.

“Existing data suggests about two percent of children have sleep problems, but with 37 percent of children now considered overweight, the percentage may be much higher,” lead researcher Dr. Catherine L. Davis, a clinical health psychologist at the Medical College of Georgia, in Augusta, said in a prepared statement.

“We believe this study is a red flag to pediatricians to ask parents about their children’s snoring,” Davis said. “Snoring does not appear to be benign in children. Not sleeping well can affect children’s behavior, their ability to function in school. We don’t know yet if it will affect their development.”

The study was published in the November issue of the journal Obesity.
