We have all known for some time that breakfast is an integral part of the day. Now research has shown that, regardless of physical activity, eating high fibre cereal in the morning at least three times a week leads to having a lower body mass index. This study followed 2,300 teenage girls over ten years, and was conducted by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in the US.

One reason people skip breakfast is because they are trying to reduce their overall calorie intake. Whilst its important not to eat too many excess calories, having breakfast, even if its a simple smoothie, or a couple of pieces of fruit, will reduce the urge to snack on chocolate or other unhealthy options, as well as improving your performance at work and reducing fatigue. Sometimes its not just the overall calorie intake, but the types of foods we eat as well. Grab a couple of carrots instead of some toast – not only will you be getting fiber, but the phytochemicals such as carotene and other vitamins will help you get the most out of your body and your day. And if you’re a bit disorganized with buying fruit and vegetables, visit the local fruit street vendor on the way to your local coffee shop before work. It beats a muffin nutritionally.

And for the final word on going overboard with calorie restriction, recent research found that even though mice will live up to 50% longer by eating less, humans don’t. The most having a low calorie diet over your life would do is extend your time span on this earth by 7%.

Physiologically, having breakfast will in fact boost your metabolism. And its certainly a cheaper way to do that than investing in a bottle of diet pills.

A couple of weight loss tips for parents and expecting mothers. Early research has suggested that those mothers who eat excessively (think Britney Spears) have children who are more prone to being overweight by the time they are toddlers. This sets up food difficulties from a young age. And beware of teenagers or children who develop poor eating habits, combined with sedentary activities like playing playstation or xbox games too much, and watching television at the expense of even non-athletic activities like having a job or joining school clubs. These kids will have a greater tendency of growing into overweight or obese adults.

One key to integrating changes in your diet, whether with the goal of losing weight, or simply being more healthy, is to add variety. Its easy to get into a food rut, stuck for something tasty to eat that is also going to support our goals. Planning ahead, and doing a little research, can be one way of mitigating those moments when the urge to grab something unhealthy is driven by both hunger and unappetizing dishes.

Following are three breakfast recipes that will add a little variety to that all important meal, as well as supplying essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes and fiber.

Delicious Tropical Muesli Serves 2 to 4. Preparation time – 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • Muesli – 100gm
  • Wheat flakes- 50gm
  • Apple – peeled and grated – 1no
  • Low Fat or Skim Fruit Yogurt- 500gm
  • Mango – peeled and cut into strips – 1no
  • Passion fruit – pulp of 2
  • Flaked almonds, toasted – 11/2 tsp

Preparation Mix together muesli, wheat, apple and half the yogurt in a bowl and refrigerate covered overnight. Divide it into four serving bowls. Top evenly with remaining yogurt, mango, passion fruit pulp and flaked almonds and serve.

Choose plain low-fat yogurt for the fewest calories. Fruit and flavored products have extra calories. Nonfat yogurt sweetened with artificial sweetener is an option for dieters. Plain yogurt is the best choice for cooking.

Terrific Mango Serves 2. Preparation time – 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • Mango- peeled and chopped -125 gram
  • Chopped pineapple – 1 no
  • Papaya- peeled and chopped- 125 gram
  • Kiwi fruits – chopped- 2 no
  • Tropical fruit juice – 150 ml
  • Honey- 2 tablespoon

Preparation

Mix all the fruit pieces together and pour the fruit juice and honey on top. This is an excellent dish to start your day.

Summer Special Salad Serves 4. Preparation time – 20 minutes.

Ingredients

  • Water melon – 1 no (medium size)
  • Tomato – ½ kg
  • Celery – 20 gram
  • Orange -4 no
  • Grapes -100 gram
  • Pineapple (chopped) – 1 cup
  • Raisins – 12 no
  • Salt and pepper – to taste

Salad Dressing

  • Salad oil – 6 tsp
  • Mustard -2tsp
  • Chopped onion – 2 no
  • Pepper – 2tsp
  • Sugar -1 tsp

Blend all the ingredients for the salad dressing in a mixer.

Preparation Chop all the fruits and vegetables. Take the pulp out of the watermelon and put all the chopped fruits and tomatoes into the outer covering of the watermelon. Pour the salad dressing on top. Garnish with raisins. Serve chilled.

Eating fruit and vegetables raw gives you many of their vitamins undiminished by cooking processes. It also means you get enzymes which are great for helping the digestive process. Watermelon is rich in vitamin C and is also one of the few sources of lycopene, others being tomatoes, red grapefruit and guava. Lycopene is a particularly effective antioxidant.

The Best Life Diet is a well-known lifestyle weight loss program. It is best known as one of the ways to lose weight endorsed by Oprah Winfrey. Determined followers of this diet program may expect steady weight loss and better health over time. It is fairly easy to follow, with only three parts, few limitations, and steady lifestyle changes that enhance natural weight loss.

The initial stage of the diet is known as Phase One, and lasts up to four weeks. During this time, dieters gradually begin to get physically active and change their dietary habits. Dieters are supposed to eat three meals and one snack each day, avoid eating within two hours before bed, and take vitamin supplements every day. Unlike some other diet programs, Phase One of the Best Life diet program is more manageable and gives dieters a better chance at achieving success with this plan.

Phase Two of the diet program lasts at least one month or longer, depending on your progress. During this stage, dieters continue a healthy approach to eating and increased physical activity. Dieters also work on fighting some of the underlying problems that prevent weight loss, such as appetite control issues and emotional eating. Dieters monitor their progress with weekly weigh-ins and develop healthy diet and exercise strategies that let them reach their desired weight.

Phase Three is the maintenance phase, a stage found in many lifestyle weight loss programs. During this stage, dieters try to cut more fattening foods from their diets and eat more nutritious, unprocessed foods. People can still enjoy all kinds of foods, even the ones that are not considered “healthy,” in small amounts. This balanced eating plan allows dieters to enjoy the foods they want without feeling guilty or deprived. Dieters also maintain an exercise regimen in order to stay at their ideal weight.

One of the best things about the Best Life diet program is the number of foods that you are allowed to eat. During Phases One and Two, relatively few foods are actually prohibited, but there are six types of foods that you must try not to eat. These foods are deep fried foods, white bread, soft drinks, foods with trans-fats, regular pasta made with white flour (whole grain pasta is allowed), and high-fat dairy products. Dieters can eat these foods again during Phase Three, but for at least eight weeks during the Phase One and Two, these foods are all banned.

Overall, the Best Life diet program offers a sensible and reasonable plan for weight loss, but even the best diet programs will not work if dieters cannot stick to them. The hardest aspect of this and other diet plans is staying focused and being able to permanently beat the mental obstacles that prevent people from losing weight. This is why weight loss hypnotherapy is a perfect complement to any diet plan. Hypnosis is perfect as a weight loss aid because it treats the underlying issues that keep dieters from losing weight.

One problem hypnosis therapy is excellent at treating is emotional eating. People develop the habit of emotional eating when they consume food to cope with their feelings, such as when they feel sad or bored. This creates a “conditioned response” so people tend to crave eating when they experience trigger feelings, even when they aren’t hungry. A hypnotic technique works by helping the unconscious mind break the association between food and our feelings. When we no longer feel unconsciously compelled to eat, we feel natural appetite control and can lose weight effectively.

Motivation is another area in which hypnotherapy can help a failing dieter. Hypnosis prevents dieters from abandoning their reasons for wanting to lose weight and keeps them on track with their goals. Some of the questions dieters on the Best Life diet program are instructed to think about are why they are overweight, why do they want to lose weight, and what has prevented them from losing weight. A well designed hypnosis therapy program will also confront these issues to make people consciously and unconsciously feel the urge to lose weight. Hypnotic therapy helps people think more positively and stick to their weight loss goals.

According to the Best Life diet program, the keys to success for weight loss are in portion control, selecting nutritious and satisfying foods, and getting regular physical activity. These things help dieters naturally reduce their weight. You can achieve this weight loss through hypnosis therapy by teaching yourself techniques from a good weight loss hypnotherapy CD program. Combined with the Best Life diet program, hypnosis therapy is an effective tool for weight loss that can help most dieters become fit and slim for life.

The weight loss industry is chock full of lies, and why not?

If overweight people were to actually LOSE weight and keep it
off, the peddlers of diet pills and exercise machines would stop
making their billions.

So what are the lies you (and millions of others) may be falling for?

WARNING: I’m not going to sugar coat this, so if you get angry
when you learn the TRUTH, well, I can’t really blame you.

The diet industry has been lying to all of us for years, and
frankly, I’m sick and tired of it.

Here is the TRUTH behind six of their most common lies…

1. Many so-called “health foods” will actually cause you to GAIN fat…

2. Exercises like sit-ups and crunches are actually the LEAST
effective way to lose belly fat…

3. So-called cardio exercise is NOT the best way to lose fat, and
it doesn’t even do much to strengthen your heart…

4. Diet pills, fat burner pills and weight loss supplements are a
complete waste of your heard earned money…

5. Ab machines will NOT (Repeat: WILL NOT) give you flat six pack
abs…

6. The people on TV who CLAIM to have gotten their six-pack abs
from the machines they’re selling are flat out LYING to you. They
got their gorgeous bodies through REAL workouts and REAL
nutrition strategies.

So if you’re a woman, how do you lose fat and get a sexy toned
stomach instead of a blubberous belly?

And if you’re a guy, how do you get those six-pack abs, instead
of a gelatinous tub of gut?

With exercise and nutrition that flat out WORKS.

And you don’t need any special equipment, expensive pre-made
meals or poisonous pills.

You also never need to feel deprived.

Nor do you need long boring workouts.

This isn’t a magic pill…

…this is science.

The name of the program is “The Truth About Six-Pack Abs”

…and it’s chock full of proven strategies that will take your
entire body from fat to fabulous faster than you ever imagined
possible.

GO HERE

P.S. Have you given up on looking great and feeling great? If
you’ve tried diet after diet, exercise after exercise, with no
real results, then this is for you.

Stop “trying” to look better and feel better, and start DOING it,
starting just a few minutes from now…
