Green Tea the Benefits of Health Over the past 15–20 years, a number of other research studies have been conducted to determine what health benefits can be attributed to consumption of green tea and its extracts. This research has shown that green tea has a variety of potential health benefits. These benefits include anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, and benefits in cardiovascular disease and oral health. While much of this research has been performed in vitro, and a significant amount of the research done in vivo, using animal models, this will focus mainly on studies conducted with human subjects plus pertinent information from the other types of studies. Anticarcinogenic Properties of Green Tea Cancer is currently a major source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Billions of dollars in research monies have been poured into cancer research over the past 50 plus years, and yet we do not se...
More Often The Wrong Food
To Burn Fat
That’s right, most diets don’t consider using the right food!
How can it be? Well it’s very simple, they just use ingredients that:
- Don’t
boost metabolism
- Don’t
have any Metabolic Thermo-Charge
- Don’t
fight the Metabolic Adaptation Phenomenon
So, if you want to see success with your fat loss program, you
need three things.
You need a diet that is properly designed with food choices
that will continually torch that ugly body fat. You don’t want a diet that
starts off strong only to take a severe nosedive after two weeks and have you
suffering from a huge diet plateau.
You need a diet that offers enough variety and great tasting Metabolic
Thermo-Charged foods that you never get bored,
are never tempted to come off the diet altogether, and get the fat loss results
you deserve!
You need a diet that is healthy! Most diets are actually incredibly unhealthy as they severely
restrict your food intake and choices, setting you up for a number of nutrient
deficiencies that will only set you up for long-term health problems. Instead,
you want a diet that maximizes health so you can not only look great, but feel
great as well.
Optimized health =
optimized metabolism = optimized fat loss
Cook with the RIGHT
sources of protein
The very first thing that you absolutely must do if you're going
to realize true dietary success is to make sure that you're cooking with
nothing but high quality protein sources.
For most people on fat loss diets, they actually believe that
their protein intake should come down due to the fact that these foods are
often very high in overall calories.
Unfortunately, nothing is further from the truth. The fact of
the matter is when on a fat loss diet, your protein needs to actually increase
because of the fact that there is a higher chance that your body will start
turning to incoming protein as a fuel source.
What's more is that if you aren't taking in sufficient protein
that your body needs to cover all its daily maintenance functions then it may
start to rob protein from the muscles, bringing those amino acids into the
blood.
All in all, falling short in protein is a very bad move.
Protein also has special
fat burning Metabolic Thermo-Charge
In fact, it's the one macronutrient that will serve to increase
the metabolic rate so that you burn more calories in the hours after consuming
it.
This is because the body will actually expend a large number of
calories just breaking that protein down, therefore increasing your total daily
calorie burn.
Finally, protein ranks very high on the satiety factor. If you
don't want to deal with hunger while on your fat loss diet program, protein is
the type of food that you must be eating. There's no way around this one –
protein is top notch for hunger control.
So as you can see, protein is a must-have. And the best sources
of protein?
Eggs, chicken and poultry, lean red meat (lean beef or game meat which is a fantastic source of protein),
fish are the main ones to turn to.
If you're like most people, you likely avoided pork on your diet
entirely and there's really no reason whatsoever to do this. Pork is actually
an incredibly lean and an incredibly delicious source of high quality protein,
so starting today I want you to add it back into your diet plan.
A quality source of whey protein powder is also a great way to
get in more protein throughout the day and you'll notice that some of the
recipes I'll provide you utilize this powerful supplement to not only enhance
the flavor, but give more well-rounded nutrition. Make the most of it – it's
highly convenient, completely safe (unlike what you might have heard), and will
be used by your muscles very well.
Cook with the BEST fat burning oils
The next great trick that you should be using to transform your
diet from one that leaves you frustrated to one that gets you great results is
to start cooking with the right oils.
Many people avoid oils entirely because they believe they are
too high in calories to include as part of their plan but the point to remember
here is that while oils are definitely higher in calories than carbohydrate and
protein rich foods (at nine calories per gram compared to four respectively) f
you make sure to use them properly, they will help to boost your fat loss
progress and make your diet taste great.Not only do oils help to add flavor to
the foods you're eating but they supply vital nutrients.
The best oils will keep your body
So which oils should you use?
My top three favorite ones to add to your recipes include:
- Olive
oil
- Macadamia
nut oil
- Coconut oil
One big reason why these stand out on my list of top oils to
utilize is because they have a very high smoking point, therefore you can
easily cook any recipe with them without worry.
In addition to that, olive oil is well known to be one of the
most heart-friendly' oils around, coconut oil contains medium chain
triglycerides hich can actually be utilized by the muscles for energy instantly
whereas all other fats can't), and macadamia nut oil has high levels of oleic
acid, which is very important to provide
health benefits of lowering the level of inflammation in the
body, and helping to promote healthy cholesterol levels, so your body can work
with optimum metabolic capacities.
So if I had to choose just three oils to be including in your
diet regularly, these would definitely top the list of the best ones to choose
both for their health benefits and their fat loss superpowers.
Spices
Will Not Only Boost The Taste
Making proper use of spices will be a must.
Spices are quick and easy to add into your dishes and one of the
best ways to make sure that you don't experience that dietary boredom that we
talked about earlier.
So which spices should you be focused on?
Here are some of the top spices that are going to help you take
your fat loss into high gear.
Black Pepper
Sounds simple enough but this spice can offer up to 8% increase
in your metabolic rate and will also help to reduce symptoms of constipation
and gas from your meals. This one is ultra easy to add to any meal, so start
making the most out of it.
Turmeric
A very often forgotten spice, this one will help to lower your
blood sugar so you don't get strong food cravings and help to reduce body fat.
This spice can actually help to block fat gain so it's one that you definitely
want to be making good use of.
Cinnamon
A sweet spice that many people enjoy, this one helps to control
your blood sugar levels and will also give your immune system a strong boost.
It's going to promote a healthy digestive system as well, ensuring that you're
able to remove all the toxins from the body on a regular basis.
If these build up, they can influence your metabolic rate and
how well your body is able to rid itself of its body fat.
Ginger
This spice is often used to combat nausea, but it too has
metabolic boosting powers. It works great in many recipes and will add an
oriental flare to the dish.
Garlic
One of the most commonly used spices, this one will help to
detoxify the body so that you're burning off fat as effectively as possible.
This spice also helps to loosen up fat to get it ready for fat burning.
When you combine this spice with a proper calorie intake and
regular workout sessions, you have a strong fat loss combination.
Cayenne Pepper
This spice has reportedly given some individuals up to a 25%
boost to their metabolism so if there's one that you definitely want to be
making good use of, this is it. Adding this to a meal can increase the number
of calories you burn over the next few hours, ensuring fat loss progresses
maximally.
Chili Powder
Finally, last but not least we have chili powder. This one acts
very similar to cayenne pepper in the body due to its capsaicin content and
will provide you with a nice metabolic boost so you burn more calories all day
long.
As far as fat loss goes, it can't be beat.
So make sure you are not overlooking the power of spices. Far
too many people focus on what they can do to cut out foods from their diet but
instead of taking that route, how about looking at what you can add in so
that you see a faster overall rate of fat loss.
STOP cooking with these UN-metabolic ingredients
Another big problem that some people are making with their diet
program is they're cooking with foods that will only encourage fat
accumulation, rather than support healthy fat burning.
During a recent trip to my local book store, I was stunned
when I opened some of the best-selling cookbooks on the market now!
These So-Called Fat Loss Slowing Down Your Metabolism
Let's have a quick peak at the most un-metabolic ingredients
that I’ve found in
these “fat loss cookbooks” so that you can give these the boot
on your diet plan.
Margarine
Not only is this an incredibly unhealthy source of fat, but it's
going to slow down your metabolism so you burn fewer calories throughout the
day. It's like the double whammy – your body burns less and you take in more.
Not a good combo for fat loss.
Vegetable Oil
Just like margarine, the same story holds for vegetable oil.
Vegetable oil contains unhealthy fats that will not support a healthy
metabolism and will actually just further damage your health. Avoid this at all
costs and use the oils we've mentioned above.
Calorie Wise' Salad Dressing
Think drizzling some calorie wise salad dressing is a smart move
for faster fat loss? Think again! These salad dressings may be low in
overall calories but they're filled with harmful ingredients that will just
slow your fat loss down.
Choose healthier salad dressings and you'll be that much better
off.
Processed Protein
Any type of processed protein such as deli meat will be filled
with preservatives that only add toxic waste to your body and prevent the
natural process of fat loss from occurring.
Choose natural, lean sources of protein as we mentioned in trick
one instead. That is the protein that gets you results.
High Sodium Seasonings
We've already listed the spices that will serve to boost your
metabolism so start swapping out those high-sodium spices that you're currently
using instead.
Such a high intake of sodium is only going to set you up for
health problems down the road, not to mention adding pounds of unwanted water
weight in the form of nasty stomach bloat.
Cream
Cream is another cooking ingredient that you must give the boot.
Not only is cream high in calories and fat, but it's the ugly saturated fat
variety.
While low-fat dairy products can be healthy on a diet plan,
cream is not one of them.
White Flour
If there's one whole category of foods that you should eliminate
from your diet entirely and make sure you aren't cooking or baking with, it's
white flour. While flour is robbed of its natural nutrients and is only going
to spike insulin levels, promoting high rates of fat gain.
Brown Sugar
I was speechless to see healthy cookbooks use brown sugar in
their recipes! The brown sugar sold at
grocery stores is actually white granulated sugar with added molasses. Yes,
brown sugar contains minute amounts of minerals. But unless you eat a gigantic
portion of brown sugar every day, the mineral content difference between brown
sugar and white sugar is absolutely insignificant.
The idea that brown and white sugar have big differences is
another common nutrition myth.Sugar is a big enemy on your hit-list of
ingredients to eliminate. Sugar causes high's and low's, promotes strong food
cravings, and will quickly cause the accumulation of body fat.
Enough said. Get this one out of your diet – pronto.
If you can take a good look at your diet and make sure that
these are out of the picture, you're going to be a hundred times better off.
Mustard
One very little known fact is that mustard can actually help to
boost the metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories each and every day
even at rest. Mustard is also great for helping improve the overall digestive
system, so your body will be much better able to extract the nutrients from the
foods you eat and put them to good use, helping improve your overall functioning.
Some of the other benefits that mustard will provide you with is
a reduction in the rate of migraines and headaches you experience, a decreasing
of the severity of asthma, and it can help to lower the risk of developing
rheumatoid arthritis.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is our next ingredient that you should be
including in your salad dressings. Apple cider vinegar serves to help out with
weight loss by detoxifying the liver and by increasing the metabolism.
Many people also find that using apple cider vinegar serves to
suppress their hunger level as well, so that's yet another great benefit that
you might notice as well.Apple cider vinegar is also a rich source of vitamin
C, vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin B1, B2, and B6, making it great for overall
health sake as well.
Lemons
Finally, there's nothing as easy as adding some lemon juice to
your salad dressing and this can help to ward off further food cravings while
also keeping blood glucose levels more stable.
Lemons will add a very strong touch of flavor to your salads so
your taste buds will feel fully stimulated by eating it and will not seek out
additional food afterwards.
Parsley
This great herb will work great in a variety of dishes and help
to improve the process of both digestion and elimination, making it ideal for
fat loss purposes. In addition to this, parsley will help to regulate your
blood sugar levels better, stopping food cravings before they start.
Basil
Basil is the next herb to add to your spice mixture and can also
help to aid with weight loss by dulling the appetite level. If you're someone
who finds that you are constantly hungry while on a fat loss diet plan, basil
will quickly help you combat this.
Oregano
Oregano is a good herb to add to your spice mixture for helping
to reduce the effects of bloating, which is something that keeps many dieters
down.
f you often feel as though you're moving further away from six
pack abs than closer due to problems with bloating, this herb will help you remedy
this quickly.
Rosemary
One of the primary benefits of rosemary is the fact that it will
have a very calming effect of the body, helping reduce the levels of stress
present. Since stress can rapidly cause levels of cortisol in the body to
increase and this cortisol can encourage stomach fat accumulation.
By adding rosemary to your herb mixture you'll indirectly help
prevent fat gain from occurring. Plus, it tastes great and will add a very nice
flavor to many dishes that you're creating.
And the really great thing about each of these spices is that
they'll easily integrate right in with the metabolic boosting spices that we
discussed.
