Pumpkins: If you want a smooth and fatless body figure, I recommend you to drink pumpkin juice. Pumpkins have high isoglucose and it only contains half of the calories from sweet potatoes. It is also rich in calcium, iron, phosphorous and vitamins and helps to fasten blood circulation. If you have bad skin, pumpkins can help you clean out your skin. Pumpkin has diuretic effect and helps to get rid of the puffiness.

Tomatoes: If you are on a diet and don’t want to eat or if you don’t have enough time to eat in the mornings, you can eat tomatoes as replacement for your breakfast. Prepare about 200g of tomatoes and eat until you are full. You can still have your normal meals for lunch and dinner. Tomatoes are low in calories and it contains vitamins as well as calcium and organic acids. The red tomatoes have more vitamins. Another way to eat tomatoes is to grate it and make it into juice and drink it.

Cabbage: Cabbage is low in calories and fats and stimulates the contraction of your intestines, preventing constipation. It’s better to steam it in a steamer rather than boiling it. When you eat cabbages, eat it with chicken breast and grapefruit that has high vitamins.

First, do handstand for two to three minutes. This will help your blood circulation and make the blood that stayed in the leg area to move around to the heart.

Forth, do stretches. When you stretch your legs or lower part of the body, it takes off the fatigue on your legs and burns your fats.

Fifth, don’t cross your legs. When you cross your legs, the blood circulation gets slowed down on your thighs and gives you edema. If you have to sit down for a long time, put your knees together and decrease the tiredness on your legs.

The truth about low calorie foods

1. Sugar-free Juice. Sugar free means it doesn’t contain any sugar in the food. However, they still put other monosaccharide to reduce the sour taste and increase the sweet flavor. Therefore sugar-free juice and the normal juice are not much different because they still contain other things that are bad for the body. Usually people think fruits are good for diets and eat a large amount of it but if you eat too much, it gets accumulated in the body as fat.

2. Half mayonnaise. Normal mayonnaise is on the top highest calorie food. It has 92kcal per table spoon.  The half mayonnaise with less fat does have less calories but it still has high calories with 70kcal in a table spoon. If you are on a diet you should try not to eat it or completely avoid it.

3. Chips without oil. Chips in a packet have at least 500 to 600 calories which is equal to a normal person’s meal.

4. Diet-Coke. I n the advertisement, it says the calories for diet cokes are zero but it still contains 25kcal per can which is still good compared to 100kcal of normal cokes. If you’re on a diet and craving for soda drinking diet coke once in a while is not too bad.

When we do not get enough sleep, our appetite increases and we crave foods that are more salty and sweet. After 8 O’ clock our body prepares to make a lot of hormones that increases our appetites and sends out fewer hormones that breaks down the fats and inhibits our appetite. This is why we have higher chance of gaining weight when we eat late at night. If you feel like eating at night, you should go straight to sleep.

Keep your body warm. When our body is cold, it disturbs the blood circulation therefore doesn’t send out enough energy throughout the body. If your body doesn’t get enough energy you start feel like eating because your body needs the nutrients. If you are cold and feel like you need to eat something, try to keep your body warm or take a hot bath. This will help you decrease your appetite and make you have peaceful mind and body.

Wear tight clothes. Wearing tight clothes makes your body to be tensed all the time. Although it may be uncomfortable at first, if you get used to it, you will start to lose weight on your stomach. Tight pants puts just the right amount of pressure on your empty stomach and makes you feel not as hungry.

Chitosan is taken from chitin, a polysaccharide that is found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans. From what I’ve heard it is processed by removing the shells from shellfish that would include shrimp, lobster, and crabs. They then take the shells and grind them into a pulverous powder. This powder is deacetylated, or in other words, stripped of specific chemical groups that allow the compound to actively “soak up fats.”

From what I’ve heard chitosan is a special fiber which is able to “soak up” or absorb anywhere from six to ten times its weight in fat and oils. It is chemically similar to cellulose which is fiber from a plant. Chitosan has been said to be able to significantly bind with fat molecules and convert them into a form which the human body does not absorb. Chitosan is 100 percent natural and when supplemented along with a healthy diet, it is able to help with weight loss and works as a cleansing process. I’ve heard that taking chitosan can also work as an appetite suppressant, although I don’t know how true that is. By taking chitosan I guess you don’t crave sugary or fatty foods as much so your body then turns to the fat already stored and begins to work on it.

We do not get enough fiber in our diets. Because of all of the terrible processed food we eat we are basically carrying around unwanted weight, are unhealthy, and have serious medical problems. What can we do? We can begin adding more fiber to our diets for one thing. There are some great cereals out there that have high amounts of fiber, but you need to do some research. Different cereal boxes will say “loaded with fiber” etc. When you look at the label it shows only 1 or 2 grams of fiber in each serving. I looked around and found some great cereals with higher fiber than most.

Archer Farms which is available at Target has a 10 grams of fiber loaded into it. Kashi Go-Lean, which is one of my favorites, has 10 grams of fiber and only 6 grams of sugar. If you really want to get a high dose of fiber you should consider adding ground flax seed to your food. In order to maintain a  healthy colon and make it easier on our bodies to eliminate waste and toxins we need to eat more fiber. There are plenty of fruits and vegetables that contain fiber, as well as cereals, and even fiber supplements.

Are you sick of the same old diet methods? Here are some foods that are good for diet according to the occasion and how you feel.

When you’re feeling scared.

Sometimes when you’re alone at home and feel scared, make a peanut butter sandwich. Peanuts have folic acid and peanut butter is also very good for treating depression. It can also calm your mind and make you feel young and lose the scary feeling.

When you can’t control your appetite.

Barley tea can help you decrease your appetite but if you have trouble with digesting food, you shouldn’t drink it too much. It is also good for diet because it inhibits aging. Another way is to grow herbs. The color green from the nature give you peace, calms your mind and help you eat less.

When depressed.

Chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate muffin or anything with chocolate will make you feel happier. When you are feeling extremely sad or depressed, eating chocolate will help you because the endorphin in the chocolate calms your nerves. If you don’t want sweet flavor, make cocoa or eat it with milk.

When you’re feeling lonely.

The chemical substance called serotonin makes you feel peaceful. Tryptophan that makes serotonin is in banana, organic food, beans and chicken breasts. Banana and chicken breasts are very good for diet as well.

According to the National Cancer Institute, if you eat 2.5 ounces of red meat every week, cooked rare or medium rare, you increase your risk of colon cancer and rectum by 10 percent. If you prefer your meat well done, the lifetime risk jumps to 29 percent. The amount of risk also depends of the cooking method. Grilled steak is about twice as dangerous as pan-fried steak. You can have your steak and eat it too, without producing harmful cancer-causing compounds, research shows.

As a matter of fact,marinating meat in antioxidant-rich spice blends can reduce the risk of these heterocyclic amines forming by more than 80 percent. If  you are concerned about carcinogens, marinating a product, and this would be any kind of muscle food product, is a good way to dramatically reduce the formation of HCAs. HCAs are suspected human carcinogens produced in muscle foods that have been cooked at high temperatures.

HCAs are created when heat acts on amino acids and creatinine in animal muscle. Barbecuing produces the most HCAs, followed by pan-frying and broiling. Poaching, baking, stir-frying, and stewing produce the least HCAs. I like to barbecue a few times during the summer, but then I will generally bake my meat after that.

Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary supplement or fiber that comes from the konjac root. I didn’t know this but glucomannan is considered a bulk-forming laxative. Glucomannan, like other soluble fibers can attach to bile acids in the stomach and carry them out of the body in the the form of feces. Some of the reasons why you would take glucomannan is due to diabetes, constipation, Insulin resistance syndrome, high blood cholesterol, obesity, hypoglycemia, and diverticular disease. If you want to start taking a gulcomannan supplement I highly recommend discussing this with your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are taking any types of medicines to lower blood sugar. If you are a diabetic, you may be taking insulin, etc. so let your doctor know. Also, if you are breastfeeding, are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant, or have other health problems, like high blood pressure. Other names for Glucomannan include: Konjac Fiber, Manna, Glucomanna, Konjac, Konjac Glucomannan, and Konjac Glucomanna. Glucomannan supposedly can aid people with constipation, it has been known to reduce intestinal flora, it can lower blood sugar and cholesterol and might even promote weight loss.
