Weight Loss Guides

Slim may be the only who gives his body what it needs. And this includes carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The decisive factor is the right choice. Complex carbohydrates such as whole grain products and potatoes make long enough and provide energy, nutrients and fiber. Even fat is allowed, as our body needs fat. You should, however, vegetable fats such as canola oil or olive oil preferred, as these are rich in vitamin E and contains the valuable unsaturated fatty acids. Dairy products, meat and fish provide us with high-quality protein, which may – prevent most peculiar in conjunction with movement – a reduction in muscle mass. This allows you to remove healthy, you should choose low fat versions. Recipes can be found in our recipe database.

An equally important element in healthy weight loss is the movement. Both in life and selectively through sporting activities. We recommend a combination of cardio and strength training. Endurance training does a better condition and a strengthened cardiovascular system and weight stimulates muscle development, thus providing for an effective fat burning. Ideal three times a week for at least 40 minutes endurance sports like running, walking or cycling, plus a weekly workout.

Healthy weight loss is much easier with this combination, because small food sins are easily offset by sport.

Body weight is an overall indicator of nutritional status of a person, but more important is knowing what percentage of that weight is fat, as this component in excess can harm health.

For a long time we thought the best way to burn fat was to perform aerobic exercises, however, a new mechanism involved in strength training also shows that lifting weights helps you lose body fat.

In the journal Cell Metabolism has published a study in Boston who said that when the muscle hypertrophy will reduce body mass and normalize many metabolic values that promote health.

The mechanism by which weight lifting helps you burn fat involves the type II muscle fibers, which contract, then the rate rapidly and are capable of lifting heavy loads for a limited time.

If these fibers are developed and muscle hypertrophy with strength training, you need to overexpress the gene encoding the protein Akt1.

This protein also contribute to the process of bodybuilding, involved in metabolic processes that reduce body fat by decreasing the size of fat cells and promote the metabolism of glucose and insulin. (more…)

Dissociated diets can eat almost everything, but not at the same time is, do not mix food groups, respecting certain combination, for which food groups required by it and point to a rapid saturation or satiation of the appetite for consumption of a single group.

The principle of the different regimes, is based on a premise of not combine carbohydrates with proteins, which would result in weight gain, but to eat them separately this does not occur.

This type of dietary concept born in the 1930s and was very fashionable in the 1950s and 60s in many athletes followed the Scandinavian dissociated diet to prepare physically, at a competitive level.

Within these different regimes are the best known methods and those of Anthony Shelton Montignac, which may be routine, but have been very effective at the results.

That is:

It is based on the distribution of food, rather than quantity, for 24 hours a day, and it starts with a breakfast usually based on fruit and lunch must be based on carbohydrates, where you can eat at will, pasta, bread, potatoes, flour, pulses, sugar, rice, without any protein, such as those in meat, eggs, fish, dairy.

To get to the dinner, where the reverse intake is based only on the proteins.

Systems of this category must be assessed in terms of overall health before starting with them and in turn have to be monitored by health professionals because they can cause nutritional imbalance relatively large and therefore require a great discipline and are sometimes difficult to maintain.
