Do your genes affect your weight?

November 20, 2011 – 1:15 am

As people have become more aware of genetics, a number of myths have been born. The most common is that the genes you inherit from your parents fix your body type and, no matter what you do, you cannot change it. This makes genetics a very convenient excuse when people are looking to explain why their latest diet is a failure. The reality is rather different. Genetics is science looking at the process that enables each new generation to inherit characteristics from the parental generation. People are deceived into believing that this science is very precise when researchers announce they have identified a particular gene responsible for an inherited disease. Science fiction stories have popularized the idea that parents will soon be able to order designer babies. Now the authors who are looking to sell their latest diet books have begun to push the idea that one size does not fit all genetic types. Rather, every individual has to assess their “genetic type” and then choose the most effective diet. The myth is being spread that basic human chemistry does not work in the same way across all human beings. “Experts” claim that people absorb carbohydrates, fat and protein in different ways. This difference can be measured by blood type, fingerprints and inside leg measurement, among other factors. Diets and exercise programs can be designed for individuals based on these factors. It seems science can help people lose weight.

Except, as in all cases, the myths are completely false. This is the old nature/nurture debate redesigned to fit into a newly recognized science. At present, there’s absolutely no evidence to show that the presence or absence of particular genes has any effect on obesity levels. No matter what the advertizers try to tell you, there’s no DNA/gene test to tell you anything useful about how to diet. The only evidence currently available that is relevant and of potential interest is that some genes do affect behavior including how quickly people feel full after eating. Obviously, if some people are slower to recognize their stomachs are full, they are more likely to overeat.

So how should people aim to lose weight? There’s one truth amongst all the myths. One-size does not fit all. The foods I like to eat may be the food you dislike the most. To keep up motivation for the diet, you do not just eat the same 1300 calories as everyone else. You should tailor the diet to your own likes and dislikes. If you put together a net-loss calorie menu including varieties of foods you like, you are far more likely to keep to the diet without getting bored. Now add in phentermine to keep your appetite in check, and you have made a good start to losing weight. Phentermine will overcome any genetic barrier to recognizing a full stomach. It’s the tried-and-tested drug that safely and effectively gives you control over the quantity you eat. With some exercise to burn additional calories, you will slowly see the pounds fall away.

Genetics and weight loss

November 17, 2011 – 1:07 am

Look around the bookshops and read some of the reviews for the latest books on weight loss and there’s a new buzzword on offer. It seems the genes you inherit from your parents change the way your body absorbs fat and carbohydrates. Gone are the days when a one-size-fits-all diet would sell like the proverbial hot cakes (unsweetened, of course). Now we are into the idea of personalized diets with DNA kits and gene testing offered as the way of designing the most effective way for you to lose those unwanted pounds. Except, there’s no science to support any of these claims. Myths help separate you from your money. The truth remains boring and does not sell many books. Let’s start with the facts. The science of genetics has been around for centuries. Farmers, sports fans and governments have been selectively breeding animals (and plants) for their taste, speed or killing abilities. The results can be seen everywhere you buy food, on the race track, in the police and military compounds, and so on. There’s nothing new in aiming to select characteristics to transmit through the generations. And that’s where the science stops and the science fiction takes over. Although some scientists can now identify individual genes that may contribute to different characteristics, there’s no such thing as gene splicing – no designer babies for us humans to order – and no proven link between any combination of genes and human body weight. Human body chemistry stays the same no matter what genetic make-up you have. What does change, and sometimes quite dramatically, is behavior. If you travel back to a time when people ate less processed food in smaller quantities, you find most children grew up thin. Now look around. Children are surrounded by peers and authority figures who all eat large portions of unhealthy processed food and the children get overweight. This has nothing to do with genetics. This is socialisation in a country that eats too much unhealthy food. Using genetics is an excuse when people fail to keep to a diet. They claim they cannot lose weight because their genes make them big. They are then suckered when they see claims that only by paying for gene testing can an effective diet be devised for them. This is a sad state of affairs. You can only lose weight by making lifestyle changes. You have to eat less and exercise more. If you feel hungry when you start a diet, a drug like phentermine is available to control the hunger pangs. Phentermine has been on the market for some fifty years and remains the scientifically proven way of controlling your appetite. So long as you avoid feeling hungry, it’s easy to stay on the diet and feel the weight fall away. Overall, you are following a simple rule. So long as you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight. If this means increasing your activity rate, rise from your couch and go for regular brisk walks. A calorie-reduced diet combined with exercise and supported by phentermine is the one-size fits-all-genetic types approach to weight loss.

Abdominal Fat Loss Diet

November 10, 2011 – 1:29 am

Dieting to lose belly fat doesn’t have to be rocket science. While there are numerous diets you can join to help you stay on track you can manage a simple diet for abdominal fat loss on your own. This article will reveal three simple steps you can take to get started. More specifically we’ll look at how much energy you eat, how you can speed up your metabolism, and how to stick to the basics. By the end of this article you should be able to plan your own meals, and limit portion sizes to start losing weight now.

Success Stories:Click here

Control How much energy you eat

We might not think of what we eat in terms of energy, but scientifically it is. By reducing how much energy we take in, in the form of high sugar and fat foods, we can start burning off more of the fat we already have. To effectively lose abdominal fat we need to expend more energy then we’re taking in each day. One easy way to do this without cutting complete foods out of your diet is to start limiting your portion sizes.

The Diet Industry’s Nasty Secrets Finally Revealed:Click here

Most of us eat portions that are at least one and a half times to much for our body weight. Start limiting portions and you’ll reduce the number of calories and energy you take in during the day.

Speed up your metabolism with smaller meals

The secret here isn’t just smaller meals, it’s smaller meals more often. A very easy change we can make in our diet for abdominal fat is to start eating smaller meals 5 times a day rather then our regular larger meals 3 times a day. This increases our ability to burn off the energy we take in, and in turn means we can burn off more fat each day. This is an easy way to also avoid those fatty snack foods we often eat during our morning or afternoon breaks at work.

Stick to the basics for Abdominal fat diet success

Learn the 5 big Truths:Click here

Some people think dieting requires supplements, or cutting out particular types of foods. While this can work for a short while, no one can live on cottage cheese and chicken breasts for ever. Better is to stick to the basics and get lots of:

  • Fish
  • Lean Meats
  • Poultry
  • Vegetables
  • Fruits
  • and Whole Grains

This ensures that your body is limiting fat intake but still getting the fiber and protein it needs to function and provide you energy for your day. Besides sticking to the basics for a successful diet that burns abdominal fat you need to lay off the snack foods, and limit or cut out all together processed and take out foods.

Rapid Fat Loss Diet

November 9, 2011 – 1:05 pm

While it is generally regarded that consistent weight loss of 2-3 pounds per week is the safest and the easiest to sustain, there are a number of reasons why you might want to push the envelope and embark on a rapid fat loss diet. Perhaps you have a class reunion approaching, or your friends surprised you with a trip to Cancun in two weeks. Or maybe, for psychological reasons, you need to see some quick results before you settle into a more conventional nutritional program.  The Diet Industry’s Nasty Secrets Finally Revealed:Click hereRegardless, there are no shortages of “starvation” or “crash” diets, supplements, and a million other items being peddled to people in your position. Let’s talk about the problem with traditional starvation diets and then we will go over a rapid fat loss diet which is admittedly difficult, but which will also reveal astonishing results in just a few weeks.

Success Stories:Click here

Have you ever tried to lose weight by starving yourself with the “Grapefruit Diet”, or the “Cabbage Soup Diet”, or any of its myriad clones? If you have, you will probably recognize the problems with these diets. The first week, you will most likely lose a lot of weight. Perhaps even a pound per day. By day 7 you step on the scale and you’re down 7 pounds! You tell all your friends about the diet and this is how the fad continues. However, during the second week the weight loss slows down, you are having painful cravings, you feel ill and foggy headed and unable to work. Worst of all, the weight loss has come to a standstill. So, you think to yourself “well ten pounds isn’t so bad, I’ll just end the diet now”, and what do you know? Within a few days you rebound right back to your original weight or perhaps you even picked up a couple more pounds as a “souvenir” from your trip down starvation lane!

Learn the 5 big Truths:Click here

Here is an important point, and if you can remember this, you will never fall for another starvation diet again: Your body holds between 5-10 pounds of water underneath the skin. When you go on a starvation diet you are only losing water! The minute you start eating normally the weight will come back, and since your metabolism has likely slowed down from malnutrition, it is very likely you will gain a couple “souvenir” pounds as a reminder of your horrible experience!

When designing the ideal rapid fat loss diet we need to take the above into consideration and take advantage of the millions of dollars of research poured into nutritional science each year. I will warn you: This diet is not easy. But, on the upside, it is easier than gulping cabbage soup all day long and it is the most effective rapid fat loss diet that has been published to this day. Here are some of the advantages of this rapid fat loss diet:

  • It includes fiber. This is important for the health of your digestive system and cholesterol. It is woefully lacking from most rapid fat loss diets.
  • Sufficient calories. You will be in a caloric deficit, but the total number of calories are double than most “starvation diets” and the results will be much better because they are the right kind of calories.
  • Timed carbs. By eliminating carbs you will spare muscle and burn fat quickly. However, if you were to cut carbs out altogether you would quickly plateau. It is important to shake things up regularly, and for this reason you will consume carbs at the right times. After workouts and once per week in the mornings, when insulin response is greatest.
  • Healthy fats. The diet includes health fats which help with energy, strengthen immune system, increase oxygen uptake, and so many other benefits we don’t have space to list them all.

Every Other Day Diet Science

January 23, 2010 – 7:28 pm

Every Other Day Diet Science

Every Other Day Diet is a diet developed by John Daugirdas in his book.This diet proposes the thought that one eats relatively normally on one day, but on the second day switches to a low-calorie quick. The thought is that people will stick with a diet that allows them to eat relatively normally every other day. This concept of intermittent fasting has shown some early promise with work in mice in terms of combating disease. Additionally, there has been some work done indicating that an every other day quick might extend lifespan.

Is it possible to lose weight eating all of your favorite foods? can hamburgers, pizzas and ice cream really be a part of a sane weight loss program?

That’s what Jon Benson promises with his “Every Other Day Diet”, and I wouldn’t blame you if you think it all sound pretty far fetched. I sure did! But the idea of being able to lose weight while still eating all of the foods that I love was too appealing for me to pass out on without at least taking a look at it. So I went to find out the truth about the Every Other Day Diet.

What Is The Every Other Day Diet all about?

The basic concept behind the Every Other Day Diet is this: on one day you eat high-protein foods which help you to burn fat fast. But… on the next day you can eat whatever foods you desire (with measure, of course). You can eat pizzas, burgers, or even that tempting looking soufflé you see on your right.

EODD is meant to help you to develop a healthier relationship with food, instead of the love-hate one many people have, that makes most diets such a struggle. By not having to constantly fight the urge to eat your favorite foods, you are more likely to adopt EODD into your lifestyle, and keep the fat off forever. No more yo-yo dieting!

What Makes The Every Other Day Diet work?

There is a simple science behind EODD. It’s based on the fact that the body is not a machine, and it easily adapts to whatever it is that you feed it. When you’re consuming the same amount of calories every day, you body’s metabolic rate will stabilize at a certain point, and when it does, it starts storing off fat.

By eating only high protein foods on one say, your body will be demanding high fat foods the next day, your metabolism and fat burning will go up, and the amount of fat that you store will go down, making you slimmer and thinner.

What are the benefits of The Every Other Day Diet?

 - No rigid eating guidelines – Many of the diets out there pretty much don’t leave you a chance with their tough diet plans and strict rules about what you cannot eat. As a result, you end up hating it and quit.

 - Psychological advantage over other diets – With EODD the food cravings are much more manageable. Compare “Tomorrow I’m goanna eat cheesecake” with “I’m never goanna taste the sweet taste of cheesecake again”… which one is depressing, and which one is encouraging?

 -  different levels for increased weight loss – Allowing you to fit the diet to your goals (and you are able to switch between the different levels to re-accommodate the diet to your lifestyle)

 - Helps you set clear and attainable goals – How will you get to where you want to be if you don’t know where it is? EODD helps you set the right goals for you.

 - A complete section on getting in the right mindset for dieting in general and EODD in particular – Getting in the right mindset is crucial for any diet.

If you have been struggling with other diets, not being able to follow through with them or just plain not getting the results you desired, or if you want to be able to lose weight without giving up on the occasional hamburger, Every Other Day Diet may very well be the answer to your prayers.

With ample scientific proof to back it up, hundreds of thousands of people around the world being successful with it, an easy to follow plan, and a 60 days money back guarantee, you can feel safe and secure when you invest today in Every Other Day Diet.
