For many of us, it is a natural reaction to turn to food when we are upset, happy, sad or depressed. Over time, this reaction becomes a learned activity that we resort to without even realizing it.
Whether your parents used food rewards when you were growing up or you learned the behavior on your own, emotional eating can really derail your diet plans. However, there are ways that you can
overcome this issue and get back on track for healthy eating.
Before you even get started, you'll need to write down the reasons behind your emotional eating. Sometimes, just seeing them on paper makes it easier to get a handle on the problem. Take one week
and keep a food journal. Write down absolutely everything that you eat, as well as making a note about your mood at that exact time. By taking this step, you'll be able to target which foods you turn to
when you are in different moods. Don't be ashamed if the amount of food seems like a lot - we're going to fix that.
Now that you know which foods you turn to and why it's time to start working on the actual habit. Now, for many people food is an actual addiction, just like a drug. And, when you're combating drug
abuse, especially with serious drugs, going cold turkey is extremely difficult and stressful. This can backfire for an emotional eater and they can easily end up binging when the stress levels get to be
too much.
So, let's look at a food addiction like a heroin addiction. When a heroin addict is trying to quit, they go through some hideous withdrawal symptoms. In order to help them through this stage, doctors will
prescribe a drug known as methadone. This is intended to work as a bridge that will help the drug user step down from heroin to a lesser drug. Once they get past the need for heroin, they are
weaned off of methadone.
While food may not be as dangerous as heroin, we can learn a lot from this process. You need to create a bridge food that will replace the foods you turn to in an emotional crisis. For example, if you
eat ice cream when you are upset, throw it all away and replace it with frozen yogurt. You're still going to get that benefit of a comfort food, but it's a lot more healthy. Once you find that it's easy to
replace your ice cream with frozen yogurt, you can then wean yourself from this with something else that is even healthier.
By taking the time to slowly wean yourself from the foods that you turn to in an emotional crisis, you're much more likely to be successful at giving up your addiction. It's not going to happen overnight,
but with time and patience, you can stop turning to food as a drug. We also recommend counseling during this process to get at the roots for your reasons for emotional eating.
Quickest way to trim your waist..
Nearly everyone wants to lose inches off their waist and there are many schools of thought on how to accomplish this. Many people believe that the best way to trim your waist is to do hundreds if not
thousands of sit-ups or crunches, but in reality, this method will not do much good. In fact, you may end up actually thickening your waist as a result.
Another common misconception is that you can target specific areas on your body for weight loss. While it would be great if it were true, there are absolutely no proven techniques that will allow you to
lose weight only from your waist. It simply is not genetically possible to target only one area on your body for fat loss.
A trim waist is best achieved by using the right kinds of exercises in the right amount. We'll get to the second way in just a minute, but let's focus first on the types of exercises you should be doing.
We already mentioned that crunches can make your waist bigger, so let's look into that a little further.
If you are just doing crunches and you're not working on a fat loss plan, you are essentially building up muscles underneath a layer of fat. While it is true that some calories can be burned with these
exercises, it is not enough to burn that fat away from your midsection.
So, you are essentially building up those muscles under that fat, which will increase the volume of your waist, not decrease it. In addition, chances are you may not be doing your crunches effectively.
They are only effective when you are using your abdominal muscles, not your back muscles to pull yourself upward. The abs are only in use from the time you lift your shoulders off the ground until you
get a few inches up in the air. After that, your pelvic muscles take over and you're not getting much benefit.
The best exercises that you can use to isolate your waist are the ones that require cross over your body. This twisting motion will reduce the size of your waist much more effectively than crunches.
Whether you're standing or on the floor, cross body movements are the most effective means of whittling your waist.
In truth however, the absolute best way to make your waist smaller is to burn the fat that is deposited there. Once you do that, you'll be able to see the actual results in your muscles and you'll be able
to peel off inches from your body. In order to burn up that fat, you're going to need to reduce your calorie intake and increase your aerobic workouts.
Pumping iron without an aeorobic component doesn't do any good here. True you are using energy to lift the weights, but you need to ramp up that heart rate and get your body working to burn that
fat. If aerobics aren't your thing, find exercises that do get your heart rate up and stick with them. Even spinning can help you burn abdominal fat if you do it long enough.
Are Carbs really that bad to eat??
Out of every food on earth, in the past few years, there has been no other food as demonized as the ones that contain carbs. There are so many fad diets that focus on completely removing carbs from
your life - but is this a smart solution? The simple answer is no - it's not smart. You do need some carbs in your life, it's just a matter of finding the right kind of carbs.
So, let's look at a few examples of bad carbs and good carbs and find ways to lose weight, eat healthy and not feel deprived. That is probably the worst part about a no carb diet, since many of those
foods are so filling and low calorie. By replacing bad carbs with good carbs, you'll be able to feel full and you'll still lose weight.
Bad Carb -
White refined flour. This is a bad carb simply because the foods made with this are so high in sugar. Even if they are low in overall calories, those little sugar grams really add up. Americans especially
eat so many foods that contain this flour that it is really hard to completely get rid of them. If you like sandwiches in particular, this can seem like a death sentence.
Good Carb -
Whole grain flour. The sugar content in whole grains is much lower and you'll get the benefit of having more fiber in your diet, which can help flush fat from your system. Instead of completely getting
rid of bread, try replacing it with whole grain bread. It may take a little time to get used to, and the taste will be a little different. However, after a few weeks, you may find that you're actually starting to
appreciate the taste and you'll be able to make more substitutions.
Bad Carb -
Breakfast cereals made with wheat and corn. Most of us don't think of cereal as fattening or bad for us, but it is highly processed and can be a big contributor in weight gain if you eat too much of it. In
addition to the natural sugars present in the grains, you're dealing with the sugar added by the manufacturer. This is a bad combination.
Good Carb -
Oatmeal. This is by far one of the best foods you should be eating. Not only is it good for weight loss since oat fiber definitely does bind fat and flush it out of your body, you can also lower your
cholesterol and your blood pressure. Oats are really the ultimate food and they taste good too. Try eating at least one bowl of oatmeal every day, but skip the sugar toppings. Instead, use fresh fruit or
a small amount of honey. You'll feel a lot more full and you'll be doing your body a big favor.
Some carbs are very good for you and it is important to find that balance. With this, you can get on the path towards healthy weight loss.
Is skipping meals ruining your diet??
It is a common practice, and many of us are guilty of it. We forgo eating all day long, because we know we’ll be eating out that night, or that there is a special event coming later in the day and we want
to be able to eat whatever we want. However, is this type of planning actually derailing your diet? Let’s take a look at just a few reasons why this mindset is not healthy, and may actually be
counterproductive.
1. You’ll end up eating more.
If you don’t eat all day, and are suddenly faced with plenty of food, it is all too easy to eat way more than your recommended amount of calories, and worse, you may never even realize how many
calories you’ve had. Remember, 3500 extra calories equals one pound of fat. At some special events or dinners, it is all too easy to get more than 3500 calories on a single night.
Because you went hungry all day, your body’s blood sugar levels are off. This can also cause you to eat more, simply to get regulated. There is no point in starving yourself for a day, and then try to
make up for it at night, it’s just too rough on your body.
2. It puts you in the wrong mindset.
Right off the bat, you’re preparing to cheat, and in a big way. Many people feel that it is all right to have that big dinner, especially if they didn’t have any calories all day. But once again, we go back to
the point that you do end up eating more, usually much more than you intended.
By sticking with that “it’s ok to cheat” mindset, you may be hampering your future progress on your diet. If you’re not making those lifestyle changes that will stick with you, the chances of future
success and being able to keep your weight off do decline dramatically.
3. You can end up in a bad cycle.
Once your body gets used to fasting during the day, and eating whatever you want at night, it’s all too easy to get into a bad cycle. You may find that you’re tempted to do this more than once, and
before you know it, you’re back to making excuses and falling into the wrong mindset. A diet is much more than food control, it’s also about being able to control your mind, and your food cravings.
By allowing yourself this much wiggle room, and setting yourself up for behaviors that are hard to change, you’re making your diet needlessly complicated, and chances are, over time, you’ll be
disappointed with your results.
Instead of fasting all day, even when you have a special event coming up, eat as you normally would. You may even want to have a healthy snack before you go. Your blood sugar won’t be sending off
signals that will make you want to eat everything in sight and you’ll end up being able to successfully avoid even the dessert tray. A way to fight eating too little during the day is eating many small
meals during the day.

Is cleansing the colon important?
Constipation and congestion is so common in our society that it has been accepted as a normal part of our Western health standards. This is the reason for the numerous advertising for a host of
laxatives, regulating and digestive over the counter drugs.
When the cycle of congestion starts, you come up with indigestion, stomachaches, gas, bloating, heartburn, gastric spasm, headaches, cold, flu, infections, allergies, insomnia, fatigue, stress, bad
mood, lack of energy and many other signals indicating to you that "all is not well inside". If you don't take the hint and clean out your colon, you will have acute symptoms of disease with aches and
pain. It is important to note that it is immaterial what your health status is, whether at the warning stage or with acute symptoms of disease. Once you start cleansing your colon by a high fiber
supplementation and regular daily high fiber and nutritionally high quality food, your health will take a quick turn toward improving the cycle.
