Weight Loss Tips – Reducing Carb Intake

July 12th, 2010 by DietGal | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Tips & Reviews

[ReviewAZON asin="0060722002" display="inlinepost"]Almost every woman throughout America is looking for fast weight loss tips that will assist them in successfully losing weight quickly.  While there are thousands of diets, that are advertised to be the cure to obesity, weight loss takes discipline and dedication.  There is not one specific answer on how to lose weight, just suggestions on how to do so in a healthy manner.  Both diet and exercise should be part of any weight loss program.  While you may have a regular exercise routine, many fitness pitfalls come from not knowing the proper diet that will allow them to shed pounds quickly.  Low-carb diets have been a popular choice in losing weight and keeping it off.

Low-carb diets limit the intake of “bad” carbohydrates including starchy vegetables, breads, rice, and grains.  Diets such as the Atkins and Zone diets each limit the intake of these carbs with different restrictions on carbs, fats and proteins. In fact, if you check out some of the Medifast info, you’ll find that even they are basically a reduced carb diet.

The main reason many have turned to these diets is because they are known to assist dieters in losing weight quickly without counting calories.  For those with bread cravings, cutting out or limiting carbs can be one of the most difficult choices.

Benefits Of Protein For Fast Weight Loss

June 2nd, 2010 by DietGal | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Tips & Reviews

Protein is essential for our good health, as much so as fruit, vegetables, and a variety of whole grains. A well balanced diet has always been the healthy way, and it will always be the healthy way, when considering weight loss tips to lose a few pounds, or a large amount of weight. Never take protein out of your diet, your body needs proteins for good health. Beans and lentils are excellent sources of protein, if you do not eat meat.

How much protein should you eat?
You can measure your protein size quite easily, even when you are out. Visualize the proteins you eat as the size of a deck of cards. This should be about the three ounces per serving that you will want to eat at each meal. Protein will keep you feeling full, especially combined with a nice glass of water, and a cup or two of low carbohydrate vegetables.

Dieting With No Carb Foods

April 11th, 2010 by DietGal | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Tips & Reviews

If you have been worried about your weight gain I am sure you have heard about the low fat vs low carb dieting battle.  Some people claim the key to massive weight loss it to cut out all fats, others believe that cutting out carbs is the answer.  Both of these ideas can be true but we have to look at what really matters.  If you want to lose weight you have to do one thing:  you must burn more calories than you consume.  It is really that simple even though this is a very hard thing to do.

The people who believe you should eat no carb foods are not wrong because higher carbohydrate foods do tend to be higher in calorie count.  Breads and chips and other processed grain products have very little fiber and lots of carbohydrates which can quickly be absorbed into the blood stream.  When absorbed they turn into blood sugar or glucose.  Your body then has two options, either it burns the fuel or it stores it as fat.  If you want to get rid of the extra weight you are carrying around then you don’t want to be increasing the levels of blood sugar.

Eat More Protein

This is great news for those of us wanting to lose some weight. You also need protein for muscle growth and recovery, if you do not get enough then you will not get the gains you are looking for when participating in strength training.
