Water Weight Loss Works

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

By Jarad Nelson Weight Problems? You are not alone! There are millions of people of varying ages who are facing the same dilemma. Being overweight is not a pleasant sight to look at. It tends to be annoying. As one who is overweight, you should not be in denial. You have to accept the fact that you are indeed physically unpleasant. But you need not dwell on pitying yourself. There is always a solution to being a victim of overweight. There is a natural remedy for losing weight called the the water weight loss method. Weight loss is a battle that is being fought for by a lot of people especially in the United States. The combatants can attest that such warfare is one of the hardest ever known to mankind. For the overweight, the foods seem to be as tempting as the apple in the Garden of Eden. There are some of them who successfully lost weight and manage to keep it off for a couple of months, only to find out that their former shape and size came back once more. It only means that weight loss programs need to be maintained regularly or else your concerted effort will be useless. Aside from a strict weight loss diet, it is advised by the experts that water intake be included in your weight loss plan. As an admitted factwater plays a significant part in weight loss. When water is taken in, you feel full so you will not crave for something to eat. Water likewise aids the vital body organs in disposing the wastes which may poison the human body. When there is adequate water inside your body, you are able to burn calories faster and better. The Benefits of Water Weight Loss Method Some experts claim that cold water enhances the metabolism. Unlike any other food, water contains zero calories. Therefore, you can take in as much water as you prefer to. Water weight loss has long been proven to be effective especially because it has the capacity to flush out the harmful toxins from the human body. Water intake likewise provides the body with adequate energy level and retains the healthy glow of the skin. More so, with water weight loss plan, you will always feel full which leads to you not wanting to eat food. The bottom of it all is you losing weight! So how do you ensure that your body receives enough water supply? It is a must that you drink at least a glass of water before you start your day. Cool water in the morning will satiate your system since no fluid had been taken in for the last six to eight hours. A glass of water will then permit you to eat only a little amount of food for breakfast. A glass of water in the morning will also pump out the digestive juices from your system and allows your organs to function well all through the day. So even if you crave for tea or coffee first thing in the morning, it is best to settle for cool water. Furthermore, it is one vital step in weight losing. Water weight loss is often preferred by most people who are under a strict weight losing training program. They all agree that water is not only a universal solvent but it is also a universal survival medium. With water, you can obviously go on for days even without food.

Laws of Leanness: Simple Ways to Go From Thick to Thin

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

By Thomas Incledon Two years ago, I presented 10 dietary rules for the man who wants bigger muscles and a smaller waistwhich is to say, every man who reads my articles. Those rules still stand. But even if you memorized them, youre probably more confused than ever by the sheer white noise created by todays dietary advice. If you did what you were told by the experts out there, youd eat more of everything and less of everything, and youd eat it earlier, later, and not at all. Fat would save you and kill you, carbohydrates would make you skinny and fat, and protein would turn you into Adonis and put you on dialysis. Recently, as part of a research project, I reviewed hundreds of weight loss studies, and found some surprising ways in which nutrition science is remarkably clear and straightforward. So with apologies to Atkins, Pritikin, Sears, Ornish, and all the other noted weight-loss experts, I humbly present the undisputed masters of the midsection. To lose weight, you must cut calories The American College of Sports Medicine recommends restricting calories in order to reduce weight. The calorie deficit should be around 500-1000 calories per day. You dont have to starve your self though. You can easily achieve a calorie deficit by a combination of diet and exercise. The goal should be to exercise at a minimum of 2.5 hours per week and work up towards 3.5-5.0 hours per week. If you do this right you can have your cake and eat it too! The low-fat/low-carb debate comes down to this: You still have to eat fewer calories than you burn off if you want to lose weight. Every study I looked at shows this. I almost feel like Im cheating by pointing it out, but there really is no perfect ratio of fat, protein and carbohydrates for every person. The perfect weight-loss diet is the one you can live with, no matter if you cut fat, carbs, or some combination. 1.Use whey to cut waist Protein-rich foods put more distance between hunger pangs. And the fuller you feel between meals, the easier it is to avoid the binges that can derail a diet faster than you can say Tasty Creme. The absolute best food for appetite destruction: whey protein. A daily shake made with two scoops of whey protein, fruit (fresh or frozen berries or a banana), and some water or crushed ice will go a long way toward improving your middle line. You can get whey protein at any health food store. 2. Never cut back on protein. There is ample evidence that protein controls appetite better than either fat or carbohydrate. Before you run off and start eating a whole side of beef, it seems that the upper limit for the appetite suppressing effects of protein may be around 25-30% of calories or 1.96 g PRO/kg BW. If you eat lots of protein all the time then your body gets used to it and the appetite controlling quality of protein is diminished. 3. Meat murders fat When you eat, your body has to expend calories to digest the food. This process is called the thermic effect of feeding, and the more your body uses it, the less fat it stores. Protein causes this inner fire to burn the hottest, followed by carbohydrate, followed by fat. Animal proteins increase thermogenesis more than vegetable proteins, so the best calorie-burning foods are lean meats. In case you need another excuse to have a sirloin for dinner tonight. Just make sure the meat is lean. 4. Remember these letters: BCAA Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and the branched-chain amino acidsleucine, isoleucine and valineare the Holy Trinity. BCAAs are as close to magic foods as well ever get. They help you recover from hard workouts by reducing the protein breakdown within your muscles; they increase testosterone and growth hormone, your bodys most important muscle-building and fat-fighting hormones; and they have their most profound effect when youre following law #1 and cutting calories in order to lose weight. For starters, try to get at least 10 BCAA grams a day. Since theyre most abundant in meat and dairy products, you can get most of that by following laws #2 and #3. You can also buy BCAA supplements (which, fair warning, are expensive). Look for supplements that are 50 percent leucine, 25 percent isoleucine and 25 percent valine. Start off with 10 grams per day, and wait a month before bumping up the dose. The maximum useful intake is probably 60 grams a day from a combination of food and supplements. 5. If its fryin, youre dyin One thing that every weight-loss researcher and diet-plan author can agree on: Highly refined carbohydrates such as fructose sweetened beverages and low fiber breads, are a terrible idea. Among the many sins of Mountain Dew and Twinkies is the way these things cause your blood sugar to spike soon after eating. What goes up fast comes down fast, and you end up feeling tired and hungry much sooner than you should. Goodbye diet, hello diabetes. Now we know of a way to make refined carbs even worse: Fry them. Researchers found a suspected carcinogen called acrylamide in such products as potato chips, French fries, and some cereals. A suspected carcinogen isnt the same as a proven carcinogen, such as tobacco smoke. But any time I get a chance to talk you out of eating nutritionally worthless snack foods, I jump on it. 6. Food goes farther with fiber Fiber causes the opposite effect of snack foods. When you have fiber in your stomach, food takes longer to enter the bloodstream, and your blood-sugar level stays steady. The benefits: consistent energy and less between-meal hunger. The only potential downside is that you wont get as much reading done in the bathroom. What slows down your blood sugar at the front end speeds things up at the back end. You certainly want to continue eating your broccoli and Raisin Bran, but you can safely and easily add more fiber by using a supplement. (MD Labs FiberPsyll is a good one; go to www.MDlabs.com.) Start with seven to 12 grams a day, mixing some with water and drinking it before your main meals. 7. Count on calcium. If youve been reading MH carefully the past couple of years, youve seen that dairy and other calcium-rich foods help you stay lean, prevent osteoporosis, and possibly prevent colon cancer. Unfortunately, too much calcium may also increase the risk of prostate cancer. And whats the point of having a V-shaped torso if your prostate has a spare tire? Heres how to get the benefits of calcium without the risks: Avoid taking high dose calcium supplements unless you really need them (ie you dont eat food rich in calcium or your doctor has prescribed calcium). The fat-fighting properties of calcium are only activated if you use real food. Look for low-fat dairy products fortified with vitamin D such as skim milk, non-fat yogurt, which offers prostate protection. Triple your home-gland security by having an occasional salad made with tomatoes (rich in prostate-protecting lycopene), mozzarella cheese (rich in calcium), and olive oil (which contains a cancer-fighting fat called Betasitosterol). 8. Alpha males use omega-3s Each year, we learn more about the health benefits of omega-3 polyunsaturated fats, which are found in fish, nuts and seeds, and in fish and flaxseed oils. Those health benefitsless risk of heart disease and diabetes, for exampleare great on their own. But they contribute to a better physique as well as a longer life. For example, omega-3s make your muscles more sensitive to insulin. Your body releases a lot of this hormone when you eat following exercise. If your muscles are more sensitive to insulin, theyll soak up more protein and carbohydrate for post-workout repair and refueling. Omega-3s also reduce inflammation throughout your body. That not only prevents heart attacks (inflammation in the tissues surrounding blood vessels is a major cause) but also helps your muscles recover faster from workouts. If you dont eat fish twice a week and cant stomach fish-oil supplements, try eggs high in omega-3s Research shows you can eat four of them a day without any negative effects on your cholesterol levels. 9. Stay wet Water has had an interesting history in the world of health and fitness. Until about a year ago, experts had us convinced we were as dry as a Baptist wedding reception, and that our dehydration was making us slow, fat, and stupid. The only way to stay hydrated was to drink until we turned ourselves into walking, talking municipal reservoirs. Then another group of experts suddenly appeared to tell us there was no evidence of mass dehydration (which means all the slow, fat, and stupid people had to be explained some other way). They said we get plenty of fluids from food, milk, soda, and juice, as well as the occasional sip of water. The second group is right, but with this caveat: If you follow the advice in this article and start taking in more fiber and protein, you need more water than the average person. If youre exercising hard, you need even more. A good standard: Drink at least a quart of water for every 1,000 calories you expend each day. So if youre a 200-pound guy who works out pretty hard several days a week, you probably burn 2,800 calories a day. So three quarts will do it. Your diet provides three to four cups of fluid, which means you need to get the remaining eight or nine cups from beverages. If you have to go to the bathroom three times during your exit interview with the human-resources manager, its safe to say youre overdoing it. 10. Any plan is better than no plan Next time you read a weight-loss story in a newspaper or magazine, count the number of disparaging references to popular diets. If you actually believed all those guys with all those letters after their names, youd think there was no diet on earth that actually works. But the truth is that you cant lose weight without a diet. You must have a plan of some sort. The more sophisticated and individualized, the better. You cant wing it and expect to see results. More than half the U.S. population is overweight, and my guess is that most of them think they can lose weight if they just cut back a little on this or that. 11. Pretend youre a tailor Measure everythingweight, waist size, etc. Re-measure every four weeks. You cant know if youre improving if you dont know where you started. 12. To change your weight, follow the 15/500 rule Never cut your daily calories by more than 15 percent, or 500 calories, whichever is less. Same goes if youre trying to gain weight. Never add more than 15 percent of 500 calories a day. 13. You must eat fat Chomp on macadamia nuts and drench your salad with olive oil. 14. Remember: Meat is muscle Animal protein builds muscle better than soy and other vegetable proteins. 15. You need carbohydrates, but not the fun kind Fruits, vegetables and whole grains help you stay lean and healthy. Anything sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, youre better off without. 16. Eat before you lift Get some protein and carbohydrate an hour or two before your workout. This prevents muscle from breaking down during and immediately after your workout. 17. And eat after you lift This is the one time of day when fast-acting carbohydratesrice, potatoes, simple sugarscan help you build a better body. Consumed with protein after a workout, these carbs stimulate insulin, a hormone that pushes nutrients into your muscles to help them recover. 18. Be a nutritional Boy Scout Be prepared for contingencies. If youre going to eat a meal or snack every two to three hours, you have to make sure you have good stuff available to eat. In a pinch, apples and peanut butter make a great snack. 19. Eat before bed Some protein and fat before sleep can keep your body from breaking down muscle tissue while you sleep. Keep it to about 500 calories or less. 20. Take notes For one day, measure and record everything you eat, then figure out how many total calories youve eaten, as well as the protein/fat/carbohydrate breakdown. When you have the numbers, you can figure out what you need more of, less of, or perhaps none of.I wont offer you the perfect weight-loss diet, because research has yet to discover one. But I will say this: The worst plan is more likely to succeed than no plan at all. The best plan is likely to include these elements: Meals and snacks are based on some lean protein sourcefish, eggs, dairy, meat.More meals are better than fewer. Five or six meals and snacks a day is ideal. Low-fat and high-fat diets can both work, but a plan that eliminates almost all fat is doomed. Nobody ever became obese from eating the best carbohydratesfruits, vegetables, whole grains. And nobody ever died from skipping potatoes, pasta, rice, popcorn, and Wonder bread.

What’s in the Bottle - Digestive System Shut Down

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jill_Seimer] Jill Seimer Mention of the words alternative medicine use to bring images of medical quacks.The modern medical community usually considered any form of herbal medicine only a joke.Doctors only prescribed drugs never an alternative like an herb. Times have changed! Patients actively seek alternative medical options where 15years ago it was unheard of. The world being filled with superbugs, bird or avian flu and numerous otherdisease and afflictions are making people looking at natural alternatives.Doctors regularly refer patients to aromatherapists and acupuncturists combinedwith their own medical recommendations. Whats in the Bottle? People who suffer from heartburn are especially eager to find any possible curefor their symptoms - alternative medicine or not. How many time have you takenmedication without reading the label? Raise your hand we all have. Some of thepotential side effects make you wonder if you may be in worse shape after takingthe medication. This is equally true of any remedies you may be taking to treatacid reflux disease. Digestive System Shut Down For example some antacids hamper the bodys ability to absorb vitamins andcalcium, which could lead to future problems. Many living with heartburn takecertain antacids that reduce the discomfort of stomach acid heartburn byshutting down the acidic secretions in the stomach. This only mask the problem giving relief for a a short while. One antacid or medication may be veryeffective on one person and totally ineffective on another. This makes people try several different brands and types of medication in ashort space of time. Talk about a bad idea! At this point alternative therapies come into play. Normally one type oftreatment can to resolve the symptoms currently experienced. A single herbal teaor herb capsule may be enough to clear up the patients problems. The basic logicis simple - fewer treatments or medications a patient has to take to cure oneproblem the better. Drugs are toxins and your body no matter how strong youmay think you are can only handle so many foreign compounds at any one time. The short list of chemicals used in the production of antacids: * Sodium Bicarbonate * Magnesium Hydroxide * Calcium Carbonate * AluminumPhosphate These all effect and neutralize the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. Hydrochloric acid is required for the proper food digestion. When it is reducedor disabled your brain tells the body to produce more acid to replace it. It allstarted because of the antacids you took. Acid Rebound! A condition called “acid rebound” comes about when the body ends up with morestomach acid than actually needs. Herbal Medicines are they Effective? Faith practitioners and users themselves usually are devoted to herbalmedicines. Faith should not be discounted - especially if the products actuallywork. Alternative therapies rarely cure acid reflux but do help the body better dealwith the symptoms. Simply strengthening the digestive system or making dietchanges can severely minimized reflux conditions. Herbal treatments come in many forms - tea, juice, capsules and food supplementsall claimed by the herbal suppliers to be 100% safe. If in doubt it never hurtsto do a Google search on the ingredients and ensure they are 100% safe, alongwith any negative web or newspaper reports on them. In taking any medication or herbal treatment, read the label and followinstructions.

How to Work in Promotional Modeling

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

By Niko Prehn No jobs for supermodels Good looks are essential, however not the same kind of looks as for fashion modeling. The needs of clients that book models for this kind of work are completely different from a magazine client for example that looks good in a beauty advertorial. Promo girls must be able to look good for long days without the help of makeup artists and retouching! A promotional model must be almost ‘conventionally’ good looking, i.e. the general public would consider the promo girl to be attractive or even gorgeous as opposed to the looks of some fashion models which can be more of an acquired taste and sometimes downright weird! What clients want The aim of most clients that hire a promo model is to promote a healthy, successful and friendly image from their promotional models thus attracting the right kind of attention to their firm. A personable manner is essential as promotional models must be able to mix with people without nerves. Also, good manners and a clear speech pattern are credited as it is vital that a promo model represents a company professionally at all times. For more information on promotional modeling and other types of modeling go to www.lifeofamodel.com The author has almost 10 years of experience as an international model for catalogues, billboards, tv commercials and music videos and now offers free advice and free exposure for models at http://www.lifeofamodel.com Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Niko_Prehn http://EzineArticles.com/?How-to-Work-in-Promotional-Modeling&id=204545 100 tramadol fedx overnight no prescription buy link onlinejixxde tramadol buy tramadol buy vicodin buy xylocaine buy painmed ultram pharmacy line

Quitting Smoking: Planning To Succeed With Zyban!

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Ian_Mason] Ian Mason Step One: The Big Decision One of the most frustrating things about deciding to quit smoking can be peoples reactions: Well, its about time! or It was a filthy habit, why didnt you quit sooner? But as anyone who has been using nicotine knows, its one of the hardest decisions, and one of the most difficult tasks, many people face. For many of us, smoking isnt just a physical addiction: we may associate smoking with our first cup of coffee in Paris or favorite college bar. It may help you relieve stress or even remind you of a fondly loved parent or grandparent, now gone. So before creating a plan to stop smoking, stop and CONGRATULATE yourself on making a tough decision that will lead to a healthier life both for you and your family. Step Two: Consider Zyban There are many things that you can do to prepare yourself for quitting, including taking medication. Some people use nicotine patches or gum. Keep in mind, though, these substitute one form of nicotine for another. While they do stop you from smoking, they dont help you get over a dependence to nicotine. When you stop using the patches or gum, you may find that you miss the nicotine and need to go back to smoking. Think instead about asking your doctor to prescribe Zyban for you. Zyban has a chemical found in an antidepressant (Wellbutrin), but Zyban works to change your brain chemistry easier to quit smoking (pretty neat huh?). As long as youre not on Wellbutrin (or other medications) or have a seizure disorder, a Zyban prescription can be the start of your trip to Smoke-Free Living. Step 3: Planning Ahead It takes Zyban a week to ten days to start working, so once you start the medication, pick a quit date about two weeks later. In the meantime, you may keep smoking, if you wish. By the time youve reached your official quit date, Zyban will be ready to help you adjust to not smoking. During that week, do a little more planning ahead of time. There are times during the quitting process that youll probably miss having a cigarette in your hands, so make a list of things you like to do with your hands that you can do instead of smoking. Want to get back to knitting? Maybe you can get rid of some one-time projects on your to-do list: cleaning the car out or create that vacation photo-album or family webpage. Make a list of the things that motivated you to quit and write it down. Are you worried about your health? Maybe youre thinking about starting dating: being a non-smoker might open up the places you go to meet people. For some people, saving money is a motivator; the amount you spend on cigarettes could buy you golf clubs or a new dress! This list can be a helpful reminder when you feel cravings coming on. Step 4: The Early Days of Smoke-Free While Zyban will make it easier to keep from reaching for a cigarette, having distractions in place will help you get through periods of craving. Keep in mind that cravings only last a few minutes and youre tough - you can handle anything for a few minutes! Use deep breathing or a quick walk around the block to ease your tension until the craving passes. You should also keep an eye out for side-effects of Zyban; common ones are dry-mouth and trouble sleeping, but if you notice other effects (including symptoms of allergy) contact your doctor right away. Step 5: The Non-Smoking You People may stay on Zyban anywhere from 7 to 26 weeks, though 7 to 12 weeks is most common. At that point, you are ready to move onto your smoke-free and Zyban-free life!

Mobile Mania

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=V_Ramasamy]V Ramasamy Technology development has revolutionized India, particularly in the field of communication. Internet, e-mail & mobile phones are making peoples life easier. Among this, mobile phones have become a mania in India. Here are the few actions of mobile users to support this statement. If you had keenly watched mobile users, you would have noticed that whether they receive any call or not, yet they used to take out the mobile from their pocket, switch it on and stare at the screen for a while and put it near their ear and again stare at the screen for a while before switching it off and put it back in their pocket again. I am really amazed to see the frequency of the action almost every fifteen minutes. Yes, Indian mobile users love to flaunt their mobile in the public. No mater how important you are. No matter what important matter you are discussing with the mobile user, his/her attention always drawn towards the call received in their mobile. The moment they receive the call, they never hesitate to abandon you in the middle to attend their call. Once the call is over, you have to begin your discussion from the beginning, as she/he would be in a state of trance after attending the call. Here is a lesson, if you want to be listened properly, try to talk in mobile phone next time. Employers are the happiest lot to have mobile phones as it helps them to track their employees all the time. On the other day when I was traveling in the bus, one passenger sitting next to me, a mobile in his hand, giving almost a running commentary about his journey by giving exact details of each stop, where he is now and when he would reach a particular point. I presumed that probably he might be speaking to his boss (!). Mobile users also dont have any etiquette. Once I was attending a condolence meeting. Large people gathered at a big hall. The whole atmosphere was very calm and serene. At the middle of the crowd a middle aged man who was sitting silently for a long, suddenly stood up as if he was bitten by some insect and looked around the hall in a hurry. After few seconds, he was started running to the corner of the hall. I was totally stunned to see his action. Since the meeting was on, I controlled my curiosity. Once the meeting was over I asked the person about his erratic behaviour. Without any embarrassment in his face, he told me casually that he just attended the telephone call in his mobile (!) While walking on the road, if you happened to see motorcycle riders with their head bent towards their shoulders; dont think that they are handicapped. Probably they may be attending their mobile call by holding the mobile set between their head and shoulders (!) People are in the habit of noticing you only if you have a mobile phone. If anybody asks you what is your mobile number, if you say you have only landline, he/she will stare at you as if you have come from some tribal area (!)

The Development Of Accounting

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

By Michael Russell The particulars of transaction and financial relationships between different parties have been written up in the form of financial records since the dawn of civilisation, examples being Babylonian clay tablets and records from the Roman and Greek civilisations. Our present system of accounting has its origins in Renaissance Italy. By the 12th century the bustle and extent of the wide-ranging trading activities engaged in by the Italian city-states had created the need for an effective system of financial recording which could accurately determine the results of large volumes of transactions involving several parties. Consequently, the double-entry system of bookkeeping, the basis of our modern accounting system, was developed. During the renaissance, this system of accounting became known throughout Europe; by the 16th century it was standard practise in England, Germany and Holland. The first published description of the double-entry system appeared in Venice in 1494. Written by Luca Paciolo, it was entitled Summa de Arithmetica Geometria et Proportionalita. The 18th century saw the emergence of another factor that exerted considerable influence on the development of accounting, namely the Industrial Revolution. There was a tremendous increase in the nature and scope of manufacturing enterprises, trading activities had become far more complicated and extensive and therefore effective methods of planning and control were essential. These needs led to the emergence, out of cost accounting, of management accounting, the specific function of which is to provide whatever financial information may be required by the management of the enterprise for the purpose of planning and control. The influence of electronic data processing (EDP) on accounting has been of paramount importance in the second half of the 20th century. It should be borne in mind, however, that EDP is purely a technology that has produced a dramatic increase in the speed at which large volumes of data can be processed. Although it has influenced the utilisation of accounting information, it nevertheless has had no effect upon the theory. The computer has made accounting information more effective chiefly in that it is now more complete, easier to understand and more readily available. These days there are a large number of accounting software packages that are available to individuals, small and medium size enterprises and large corporations. The type of enterprise and internal operating systems will determine the type and size of accounting package that is used. In order for the enterprise to make investment decisions, a proper accounting structure must be in place. Accounting packages are just a tool to interpret the ‘language’ of the financial world - an instrument for transmitting information. Users of financial information expect accurate and comprehensive information that cannot be provided by general spoken or written language, so accounting was developed to satisfy this specialised need. By virtue of its nature, accounting information is historical. Historical trends do, however, serve as valuable guidelines for future projections.

God’s Billboards Invade Cyberspace

Monday, November 19th, 2007

By Jerry Boone Once upon a time, Americans traveled the highways searching for the latest word of God. But not anymore! Those same roadside messages, plus a batch of new ones, can now be viewed anytime at home on your own personal computer. Do you remember the original billboards? Someone in Florida started the ball rolling with eighteen messages in white type on black billboards all “signed” by God. South Florida motorists spotted such disarming quotes as: * Let’s meet at my house before the game. -God * C’mon over and bring the kids. -God Others messages spoke in a friendly but more serious tone: * What part of “Thou Shall Not . . .” didn’t you understand? -God * That “Love Thy Neighbor” thing . . . I meant it. -God Fast forward six years and we find that God, like the rest of us, now prefers sending his messages through cyberspace.

Doctor, Why Can’t I Loose Weight and by the Way Why Do I Feel Sick?

Friday, November 16th, 2007

By Dr. Steven Zodkoy Doctor, Why Cant I Loose Weight and by the Way Why Do I Feel Sick? This the number one question heard in my office and in physicians offices throughout America. There is a strong relationship between weight gain, difficulty in loosing weight and feeling sick. Candida Albicans, an opportunistic fungus, is often the link between weight gain, feeling ill and the difficulties people have with loosing weight. Focusing on removing Candida Albicans from the body rewards the dieter with a feeling of well being and weight loss that is steady, sustainable and healthy. Americans are embracing the low carbohydrate diet for its ability to reduce their waist size and weight even when other diets have failed. The more important benefits of a low carbohydrate diet are usually lost in our obsession with weight. Low Carbohydrate diets have been used by nutritionists and holistic physicians for decades to control Candida Albicans. The weight loss and feeling of well being that accompanies a low carbohydrate diet is mostly associated with controlling this serious, but often over looked health condition. I often see patients in my office who want to lose weight and have tried every diet and pill on the market with little success. During their history they often reveal a list of symptoms and complaints that they feel have no relationship to their weight problem. These patients do not realize that their weight problem and their other complaints are symptomatic of a more serious health condition known as systemic Candida Albicans. By concentrating on treating the underlying Candida Albicans my patients are able to loose weight and improve their overall health. Betty F. . . was consulting with me for continued weight gain. She was finding it difficult to stick to a diet and exercise, partly since she saw such limited results. During her consult she admitted to gas, indigestion and fatigue. Her history included birth control pills, antibiotic use and several yeast infections. Her treatment plan included a low carbohydrate diet, nutritional supplements, and anti fungal herbals. She returned is 4 weeks, she had been able to stick to the diet with much greater ease, she felt more energetic and had no more gas. She was even happier that she had been able to loose 9 lbs. She reached her goal of a total weight loss of 22 lbs over the course of 3 months and has been able to keep it off. She now sticks to a sound diet and only takes a multi nutrient with herbals. Candida Albicans is opportunistic yeast that often over whelms the body after antibiotic, may be passed from person to person with the exchange of body fluids, and from direct contact. It may be found in the reproductive tract, the mouth, the GI tract and in the blood. There are several common signs of Candida Albicans including vaginal yeast infections, thrush, jock itch and athletes foot. Candida Albicans has been linked to a number of health conditions including; asthma, depression, dizziness, fatigue, headaches, hypoglycemia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), learning disabilities, menstrual problems, Migraines, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome (MCSS), Prostatitis, sinus problems, and Urinary Tract Infections (UTI). One of the major secondary problems associated with Candida Albicans is weight gain. A number of the problems associated with loosing weight and staying with a diet are doing to Candida Albicans. A person with systemic Candida Albicans will often crave sugar and simple carbohydrates because this is the main source of nutrients for yeast. Mood swings and depression are often associated with the rapid change in blood sugar levels caused by the yeast. Patients often complain of gas and bloating caused by the fermentation of foods in their intestines by the yeast which naturally release gas, just like in Champaign and beer. The fermentation of foods in the intestine may also lead to alcohol production that is absorbed through the gut and may lead to symptoms of confusion, altered behavior, and difficulty concentrating. Determining whether you have a Candida Albicans can make a big difference on how easy you will be able to lose weight and keep your weight loss off. Questions to determine if you may have Candida Albicans: 1. Have you used antibiotics in the last 2 years? 2. Do you have gas or bloating? 3. Do you have sugar cravings? 4. Do you have low blood sugar? 5. Do you have history of yeast infections, vaginal, oral, athletes foot, or jock itch? 6. Does your partner have a history of yeast infections, vaginal, oral, athletes foot, or jock itch? 7. Are you sensitive to smells? 8. Are you sensitive to alcohol? 9. Do you suffer from symptoms that your doctor cannot explain like; headaches, migraines, depression, diarrhea, dizziness, IBS, menstrual or sinus problems? 10. Do you feel fatigued all the time? 11. Do you have a hard time concentrating? 12. Do you just not feel right? Candia Albicans can be diagnosed by a blood analysis by your physician, though many traditional physicians do not regularly order this test. A major problem with treating Candida Albicans is the low regard most physicians place on controlling it spread. A recent study showed that 27% of nurses and 33% of doctors have Candida Albicans on their hands in a hospital. You can get a reasonable idea if you have problems with Candida Albicans by answering the questions in the box above. A yes answers to 6 or more questions above, associated with any of the signs or symptoms listed above, is a good indicator that you may have a Candida Albicans problem. Dr. Mark Leder, a chiropractor and nutritionist in NYC, states I have treated thousands of women for weight loss and I find that over 75% of them are suffering from Candida Albicans. I tell them, you want to loose weight,? You want to be healthy? Deal with the Candida problem and everything else will follow. A low carbohydrate diet is the first step to dealing with Candida Albicans, but an herbal anti fungal is just as important. When Candida Albicans presents itself as a vaginal yeast infection or athletes foot will often be treated with medication. Medications may be oral or topical and can be in prescription or over the counter strength. The problems with medications is that they are often short term and or do not get to the root of the problem. To properly reduce the amount of Candida Albicans in the body a low carbohydrate diet is the first step. Nutritional and herbal supplements are also key components. Regular intake of natural anti fungal supplements gives the body a chance to gentle and slowly reduce the amount of Candida Albicans in the body. There are a number of natural anti fungal herbals and products available on the market, but quality and effectiveness vary greatly. One of the best products available, through physicians offices only, is called RxBotanicals Diet Enhancer which contains powerful anti fungal and natural herbal relaxants. The combination of anti fungal and natural herbal relaxants found in RxBotanicals Diet Enhancer gentle lowers the amount of Candida Albicans in the body while making the dieting experience easier and more successful. America will continue to focus on the weight loss associated with low carbohydrate diets. Nutritionists and physicians will continue to embrace the multitude of health benefits associated with a low carbohydrate diets with herbal remedies and its relationship to reducing Candida Albicans in the body.

How Diet Soft Drinks Can Make You Gain Weight!

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

By Lisa Andrews People who drink diet sodas, or (as I call them) soft drinks have a very high chance of becoming overweight or even obese! At the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio researchers found, during a 26 year study, that 622 participants aged 25-64 who drank diet soft drinks were more likely to be overweight. According to the Associated Press, the chances of becoming overweight or obese increased by 65% with each and every diet drink per day. Throughout the study, 32.7% of all those involved in the study, became either overweight or obese. And 47.2% of those who had 2 or more regular soft drinks a day became obese or overweight. But, the ones who drank 2 or more diet drinks a day, 57.1% became overweight or obese. “Right now we don’t have any clear public message here. This justraises an interesting question” says Sharon Fowler, the study’s lead author at the University of TexasHealth Science Center. She told the Houston Chronicle, “I want to be very clear our findings do not prove that diet soft drinks cause people to gain weight”. The researchers are baffled. Even though the diet drinks don’t cause people to gain weight they replace that with what should be healthier drinks. So what is this telling us? Do diet soft drinks make us gain weight? Well, the answer is no, not really! The idea behind this, and I guess the point of the study, is that when people drink a diet drink they tend to eat more or higher calorie foods. We seem to think that we can go ahead and eat that “super size fry” or that “triple cheeseburger” because, hey, I’m drinking a diet soda. If you want to feel good about what you eat and drink then eat in moderation. Go ahead and have the diet drink, but eat sensibly along with it then you will see good results!
