DIETARY & HOLISTIC RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not worry so much about the number of calories you consume as about eating the proper foods. Rotate your foods, and be sure to eat a variety of foods. Eat meals that consist of a balance of proteins, complex carbohydrates, and some fat. Proteins can increase your metabolic rate by as much as 30%, and help to balance the release of insulin by prompting secretion of the pancreatic hormone glucagon. Protein-induced glucagon mobilizes fats from the tissues in which it is stored, thus aiding in weight loss. By eating balanced meals you get more steady blood sugar levels and the ability to burn stored body fat for long-term weight loss.
Eat more complex carbohydrates that also offer protein, such as tofu, lentils, plain baked potatoes (no toppings, except for vegetables), sesame seeds, beans, brown rice, whole grains, skinless turkey or chicken breast, and whitefish (no shellfish). Poultry and fish should be broiled or baked, never fried.
Eat fresh fruits and an abundance of raw vegetables. Have one meal each day that consists entirely of vegetables and fruits. Use low-calorie vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, green beans, kale, lettuce, onions, radishes, spinach, and turnips. Low calorie, low carbohydrate fruits include apples, cantaloupe, grapefruit, strawberries, and watermelon. The following are higher in calories and should be consumed in moderation: bananas, cherries, corn, figs, grapes, green peas, hominy, pears, pineapple, sweet potatoes, white rice, and yams.
Eat foods raw, if possible. If foods are heated, they should be baked, broiled, steamed or boiled. Never consume fried or greasy foods.
Drink a minimum of six to eight glasses of liquids daily, more if you can. Fluids help to flush the fat and toxins out of your body and keeps your kidneys and intestinal tract working better. Herbal teas and steam-distilled or quality bottled water with trace minerals added are good. They are non-fattening fillers that also help dilute toxins and flush them out of the body. Herbal teas mixed with unsweetened fruit juice are very satisfying low-calorie drinks and are very filling. Use these between meals and when a desire for sweets hits you. Drink sparkling water mixed with fruit juice in place of sodas.
Pay particular attention to the fat in your diet. Some fat is necessary, but it must be the right kind. Avocados, olives, olive oil, raw nuts and seeds, and wheat and corn germ are sources of "good" fats that contain essential fatty acids. Use these foods in moderation -- no more that twice a week. Eliminate saturated fats from the diet completely. Never consume animal fat, found in butter, cream, gravies, ice cream, mayonnaise, meat, rich dressings, and whole milk. Do not eat any fried foods.
Consume the following foods in moderation: apples, brown rice, buckwheat, chestnuts, corn, grapes, oatmeal, white potatoes, and yellow vegetables. These foods contain small amounts of essential fatty acids, but they should not be overused.
If you must eat snacks occasionally to ward of hunger, make sure they are healthy. Good choices include:
- Celery and carrot sticks.
- Low-fat cottage cheese topped with fresh applesauce and walnuts.
- Unsweetened gelatin made with fruit juice in place of sugar and water.
- Natural sugar-free whole-grain muffins.
- Freshly made unsalted popcorn.
- Rice cakes topped with nut butter (but not peanut butter).
- Watermelon, fresh fruit, or frozen fruit popsicles.
- Unsweetened low-fat yogurt topped with granola or nuts and fresh fruit.
Do not eat any white flour products, salt, white rice or processed foods. Also avoid fast food restaurants and all junk foods.
Do not consume sweets such as soda, pastries, pies, cakes, doughnuts, or candy. Omit all forms of refined sugar (including white sugar, brown sugar, and corn sweetener) from the diet. Sugar triggers the release of insulin, which then activates enzymes that promote the passage of fat from the bloodstream into the fat cells.
Follow a fasting program once monthly.
For a quick energy boost, try taking a spirulina tablet.
Use wheatgrass to calm the appetite. This is a very nutritious fuel from whole food that assists metabolic functions. Kelp is also beneficial.
Do not consume alcohol in any form, including beer and wine. Alcohol not only adds calories, but it inhibits the burning of fat from fat deposits. It can also interfere with your judgment, so you may find yourself eating things you ordinarily would not.
Use powdered barley malt sweetener (found in health food stores) instead of sugar. This is highly concentrated but not dangerous. It contains only 3 calories per gram (approximately 2 teaspoons). This sweetener is also beneficial for people with diabetes or hypoglycemia.
Use extra fiber daily. Guar gum and psyllium husks are good sources. Take fiber with a large glass of liquid one-half hour before meals. Note: Always take supplemental fiber separately from other supplements and medications.
Move your bowels daily. A clean colon is important in stabilizing your weight.
Change your eating habits. This is extremely important not only for losing weight, but for maintaining weight loss. Begin with the following:
- Always eat breakfast. It jump-starts the metabolism at the beginning of the day. Eat small but nutrient-dense meals every 3 to 4 hours throughout the day to keep your metabolism stable, to maintain a full feeling, and to avoid wide swings in blood sugar. Good choices might include a 2 ounce portion of protein food (beans, an egg, poultry) with 1/2 cup fresh salad dressed with apple cider vinegar; or 1/2 cup of a steamed vegetable with some type of grain (1/2 cup brown rice or piece of whole- or multi-grain bread).
- Don't skip meals. This only intensifies hunger and food cravings.
- Make your main meal lunch, not dinner. Some people have had excellent results consuming no food after 3:00 p.m.
- At meals, put less food on your plate. Chew slowly. Stop eating as soon as you are no longer hungry -- don't wait until you feel full.
- Try eating a small amount (200 calories or so) of complex carbohydrate prior to having a high-protein meal. This will help supply tryptophan to the brain, which in turn helps to reduce food cravings.
Another obesity home remedy treatment that is told to be quite effective. Following are some cure home remedies for weight loss:
- On an empty stomach in the morning, drink 1 glass of warm water mixed with juice of half a lime and 1 tsp honey.
- In 1 cup of water, add 3 tsp of lime juice, ˝ tsp pepper powder and some honey. Drink this everyday for about 3-4 months.
- The leaves of jujube (Chinese Date common in Chinese medicine) or Indian plum are considered valuable in getting rid of excess body fat. Soak a handful of jujube leaves in water and keep them overnight. Jujube fruit can be obtained from Fentiman Farms and jujube tea (traditional Korean Tea) can be found at Jujube Tea - Tulip International Inc. Drink this water next day in the morning, on an empty stomach. Do it for about a month or so, to achieve the gain in terms of a slim trim figure.
- As a substitute of breakfast, consume 2 ripe tomatoes in the morning. This remedy will aid in reducing your weight at a faster rate.
If you get the urge to eat, put on a tight belt. This will make you uncomfortable and remind you that you want to lose that excess fat.
Learn to ride out your food cravings. They peak and subside like ocean waves. When you get an urge to eat, tell yourself that you can satisfy the craving if you really want to. Then wait 10 minutes. This ensures that your eating is conscious, not compulsive. Keep in mind that most cravings only last a few minutes. Try doing something to distract yourself. Also remember that food addiction is the same as any other addiction: That first bite only makes you want more. If you ultimately decide that you really do want that food, then decide how much is reasonable and enjoy it. Really enjoy it! Take one bite and savor the taste. Eat slowly.
Find out what causes your cravings. If you get a strong urge to snack while you're watching television, try reading a book, drinking a large glass of liquid, or taking a walk instead. If your cravings are triggered by where you are, move. If you're in the kitchen, go outside to relax, take a walk or do yard work. If you're in the mall, avoid the food court.
Consider having yourself tested for food allergies. Many people who have eliminated allergic foods from their diets have stabilized their weight quickly.
Do not chew gum. Chewing gum starts the digestive juices flowing and makes you feel hungry.
Do not grocery store shop on an empty stomach. You will be tempted to buy forbidden foods and will often buy more food than you need or can use before it looses its freshness.
Avoid crash dieting. A very low calorie diet causes the metabolism to slow down, resulting in fewer calories being burned. Instead, increase your activity level. This will raise your metabolic rate, burn fat, and help prevent the loss of lean tissue.
To maintain weight loss, calculate how many calories you need daily by multiplying your weight by 10. Then add 30% (about 1/3) of that amount to the result. Assuming a moderate activity level, consuming anything less than that number of calories should allow you to lose weight. This is the number of calories you can consume daily without gaining the weight back.
The basic arithmetic of weight loss is that each pound of body fat is work 3,500 calories. Thus, to lose 1 pound a week (a safe, reasonable goal), you must tip the calorie consumption/expenditure balance in your favor by 500 calories each day. To do this, you can, for example, lose 250 calories by drinking a glass of water flavored with lemon or lime juice instead of a can of regular soda and leaving the cheese off your sandwich at lunch, and then make up the other 250 calories by walking 2 1/2 miles.
The best way to lose weight -- and virtually the only way to maintain weight loss -- is to adopt a healthier, more active lifestyle. A lifestyle that includes a natural, healthy diet and regular exercise will keep you healthy; give you more energy; lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer and still allow you to lose weight. Those who choose fad diets over such a lifestyle can count on gaining back their lost weight and more. Almost 95% of all dieters regain their lost weight within a year and have to diet all over again.
Repeated crash dieting is not healthy and can increase the risk of heart disease. Quick weight loss tends to come back rapidly. This rapid weight gain often results in elevated cholesterol levels and can also damage vital organs. Some people have developed gallstones after crash dieting of 500 calories or less per day, have higher death rates, and ran a greater risk of coronary heart disease. Weight fluctuations seem to pose as great a risk of heart disease and premature death as being overweight.
A study by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture showed that one of every four teenagers carries enough excess weight to put him or her at high risk of heart attack, colon cancer, stroke, gout and other health problems later in life -- regardless of whether the individual slims down as an adult.
American Cancer Society has found that people who regularly use artificial sweeteners tend to gain, not lose, weight. These substances seem to increase the appetite and slow down the digestive problems, not to mention the serious potential side effects caused by the artificial sweetener chemicals on the body.
Hydroxycitric acid (HCA), a substance extracted from the rind of fruit of the Garcinia cambogia tree, is proving very effective for weight management. It suppresses hunger and helps to prevent the body from turning carbohydrate calories into fat by inhibiting the action of an enzyme called ATP-citrate lyase. HCA is available in supplement form and is an ingredient in various diet products.
Gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), the active ingredient in borage oil, black currant seed oil, flaxseed oil, and primrose oil, helps to control the metabolism of fats. Taking at least 250 IU of GLA a day helps to control the appetite.
The trace mineral boron may speed the burning of calories. Raisins and onions are good food sources of boron.
Some people have good results taking 1 tbsp of natural apple cider vinegar in 1 cup of pure, unsweetened cranberry juice every morning upon arising. Kombucha tea has also shown good results, and helps to boost energy.
The hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has led to a loss of body fat by blocking an enzyme that is known to produce fat tissue.
An English weight-loss center uses one part vegetable oil to two parts apple cider vinegar in massage to rid the body of fat. It is recommended to use pure virgin olive oil because it needs no refrigeration. Knead lightly but firmly over the fat areas at least three times weekly. This treatment is also good for sore and stiff joints.
Essential oil, Juniper, is a natural diuretic and will help the body excrete excess water. Juniper may be taken internally in small amounts (one or two drops on a sugar cube each day) for a short period of time, which will cause an increase in the flow of water from the body. Along with the liquid goes toxic waste that, unless eliminated, builds up in the tissues of the seriously overweight person.
Alternatively, Juniper may be used in combination with Cypress in a massage oil, or in the bath. The diuretic properties of juniper and the astringent properties of cypress create a perfect "slimming oil". This is made by 13 drops cypress essential oil
12 drops juniper essential oil
in 50 ml jojoba (base) oil.
OR
2 drops cypress essential oil
2 drops juniper essential oil
in 2 teaspoons base oil
Women with small breasts but large hips should take a juniper hip bath. Just sit in a bath to which you have added 6 inches of water, and 6 drops of juniper essential oil, but do not lie down as you don't want to lose any weight from the breasts.
For people who are depressed about their weight problem and feeling that they cannot do anything about it, and an eating binge threatens, they are to take a clary sage and ylang ylang bath instead. The uplifting aromatic waters may just give the person enough of a lift to bring up confidence and reinforce will power to succeed in changing the way they look.
