Reasons why people tend to be obese, how they can lose weight along with the risk factors of being fat has been studied extensively. However, there are still issues that are not yet resolved, even by extensive research and even with the development of technology.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>The Big Issue</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>One popular issue is whether body fat and genetics are related. This question has been bugging people of all generations, but most specially, today’s present generation. This is probably due to the higher incidence of obesity and the easier access to information by the public.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Taking Sides</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Just like with any other kind of issue, there are two sides of the story here. Of course, there’s the school of thought that does support the claim that genetics have something to do with a person’s predisposition of being fat. However, there is also the school of thought which does not believe that genetics has something to do with obesity.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Back To Basics</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Genetics is the study of DNA and how specific traits are inherited from parents to offspring. DNA is basically the blueprint that every individual has. This dictates what color and other characteristics of hair, eyes, skin, and a lot more body features you will develop as you grow up. Since, genes/DNA dictates everything that a person will be you can’t really blame those who suspect that it also has something to do with being fat or not.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>What Believers Of This Theory Say</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>In the light of research many factions lay claim to the discover of “The Fat Gene”. However, there is still no official substantiation for this claim since most of these studies have actually found different genes that are more or less related not to being fat but to having physical conditions that could be indirectly related to obesity.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Most tests are also administered to mice rather than humans. For instance, one team of researchers in San Antonio were studying brain injuries. They were able to delete an important defensive protein from a laboratory mouse. They ended up having rodents that had short stature and consequently grew fat in adulthood.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Additionally, another research team at Boston was able to find that creating a very small genetic change in DNA that they claim can be the cause of obese predisposition. The convicted gene, called INSIG2, has a vital role in producing fat. They also say that it makes an individual more prone to being overweight by merely changing its natural G-condition to a C-condition.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>These are just two of the many studies that implicate obesity’s relation to a person’s DNA make-up. However, you should understand that most of them are still in the process of further examination and study.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>What Non-believers Say</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>On the other hand, those who think that genetics is not related to being obese also have very good points that you can consider. Here are some of them.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>They believe that genes have evolved in a way to protect humans from starvation, and not from an overabundance of food. It has only been within the last 100 years that being overweight became a problem and became evident in large groups of people. In fact, during ancient times, people who were obese were actually worshiped and admired since it was a sign that they had lots of food.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Additionally, the lifestyle of the human race has drastically changed during this century. Sadly, the majority of the genes of people today may not be fit for having a modern lifestyle. And since lifestyle is the issue, being obese is partially blamed on the conveniences that people have today such as computers, telecommuting, cars, elevators, remote controls, fast food, and the like.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Lastly, it is said that the fastest increasing population of obese people would fall into the impoverished category. They basically reason that those who eat cheaper, less nutritious food also have slower metabolic rates. They believe that accounts for why they are more prone to being obese and not really due to their genes.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">AllAboutHealthWellness Recommends: <a href="http://0979cdw2ib3pgwksm72-042kda.hop.clickbank.net/">Fat Body To Fit Body</a></span></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://0979cdw2ib3pgwksm72-042kda.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Click Here!</span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

More often than not, you would find advertisements that encourage you to subject your body to heat so that you get rid of your fat easily. This is becoming a popular process of getting rid of fat commonly known as Thermogenesis.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>How Does It Work?</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Whenever you fry bacon, or simply heat it in the microwave, you instantly see oil coming out of the food, even if you didn’t add oil in the first place. As you can see, when subjected to heat, the fats in the bacon suddenly come out in the form of oil. This analogy is one good illustration of how Thermogenesis works.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>It is actually the process in which your body generates energy or heat, by increasing your metabolic rate to above normal levels. Once you attain a rise in your metabolic rate, this is what you call “the thermogenic effect”. However, some schools of thought also refer to it as the “Specific Dynamic Action (SDA)” or “thermogenic response”.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>How Can You Get Thermogenesis?</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>You are able to attain Thermogenesis via a number of methods, some of which include: supplements, exercise, nutrition, and cold exposure.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Nutrients And Their Thermogenic Effect</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Among the nutritional sources of thermogenesis, the different macronutrients also have different effects in regard to the thermogenic response.

First, you would not want to become dehydrated. Thus, you should drink more water. Another, you shouldn’t skip meals. This is because you’ll have low blood sugar when undergoing this kind of program. Lastly, don’t take these supplements at night. Keep in mind that they have caffeine content, which could lead you to being up and awake all night long.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Popular Heat Makers</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>One popular heat creator for the body is green tea.

However, sometimes it may seem that you still need to get a whole dose of motivation just to get yourself up and ready for simple stretching exercises. This is actually a major problem for most people.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>There are still those who take being physically fit to another level.

However, this doesn’t really mean that you can’t try such exercises. Nevertheless, you should first have what it takes before getting into such fitness programs.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>As a guide, here are the essential things you have to know about the advanced measures of physical exercise.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Going Extreme With Aerobic Exercises</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 200%;">One category of extreme exercise would be Aerobics. This type actually has innumerable forms. Generally, it is done with intensity in the moderate level throughout a fairly long period of duration. For instance, running at a moderate pace for a very long distance is considered to be an aerobic exercise; however, sprinting </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;">isn't</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 200%;">.</span></span></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 200%;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 32px;">There are a lot of benefits that you can get from aerobic exercises. First off, it strengthens your respiratory muscles. This gives you better facilitation of the air transfer in and out of your lungs. It also strengthens and enlarges your cardiac muscles. This paves the way to the improvement of your heart pumping efficiency and also reduces its resting heart rate.</span></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Muscles in your body also get toned.

Some of them include: running, cycling/biking, roller skating, swimming, playing basketball, cross-country skiing, jumping rope, dancing and walking briskly. Additionally, you could get aerobic workout via stationary exercise machines like treadmills, cycles, rowing machines and stair-steppers.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Going A Notch Higher</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>There are also extreme forms of aerobic exercise, which can be found in the form of Aerobic Water Exercise. This kind of activity also aims for the goal of strengthening lungs and oxygen intake. However it is done via various activities in water. It lessens stress on your muscles, bones and joints because of the exceptional buoyancy properties. Your body will also be completely supported by water when performing your exercise routines. This is usually done in swimming pools and can let you burn more calories, due to the added resistance of water to your body.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Anaerobic Exercises For Intense Trainers</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Another type of extreme exercise is anaerobic exercise. This kind is considered to be more intense than aerobic ones. It is the kind of exercise that is intense enough to elicit anaerobic metabolism in the body. This is used by athletes for non-endurance sports so that they can build up more power. It is also used by body builders in order to bulk up and build muscle mass.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>However, muscles that are trained under this kind of exercise develop differently than aerobic exercise. They actually tend to have greater performance within a short duration for high intensity activities that could last up to a maximum of 2 minutes.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Examples Of Anaerobic Exercise</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>There are two main types of anaerobic exercise: Isotonics and Isometrics.

Although low carb diets have existed for more than 30 years, the trend for this method of weight loss has only reached its zenith very recently.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Answer To Obesity?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You may hear or see advertisements saying that this kind of diet is the answer to the growing obesity problem.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This could be attributed to media hype and countless numbers of genuine success stories. Not to mention that when you add a celebrity or two in the mix, you definitely get the right formula for a new fad. In no time, everybody jumps on the bandwagon this turns out to be a popular low carb diet.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Is It Really For You?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This kind of diet requires the near-eradication of one whole food group, which would be carbohydrates. Undergoing this ban could mean anything from a number of weeks of sternly restricted carbs under the South Beach Diet all the way to zero carbs as long as you live on Atkins.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have a very sedentary kind of lifestyle and are gradually gaining weight, this kind of simplicity is very attractive when you first hear it: no counting calories, no measuring, no weigh-ins. All you’d have to do is simply not eat pasta, potatoes, bread, cookies, cereal; or, if you’re on Atkins, eat a majority of vegetables and fruits. However, the question is, could you sustain that? Moreover, should you?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, But With One Condition!</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you’re obese and you’ve tried almost everything yet nothing has really worked for you, a low-carb diet plan is definitely worth trying. However, it is important that you keep in mind that it is impossible for you to maintain weight loss by dieting alone, not this season or the next.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Exercising regularly is essential not just for you to control and maintain your weight, but also for your general good health too, especially for your heart health. Sooner or later, you have to increase your activity and make it an essential part of your life as well. A lot of doctors believe that when obesity is the problem, any kind of weight loss plan which works is still better than not being able to lose weight at all.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Benefits</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are a lot of benefits in opting for this kind of diet. The best would be that you are able to initially lose weight. There are a lot of diets which make you eat odd foods, count up calories, and some even go to the extent of making you weigh what you’ll be eating. These kinds of methods aren’t just time consuming, they can also be very expensive.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Big Difference</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Low carb diets also don’t limit you to one food group. This is a significant advantage since a lot of fad diets usually limit you to only 1 or 2 food groups. This isn’t good for the body since it will leave your system unbalanced.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This kind of diet is able to give you just the right amount of food variety so that you are still be able to consume the essential nutrients that your body really needs. In fact, a lot of low-carb diets tend to promote the healthy kind of carbs.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Additionally, the foods you’ll be eating in this kind of diet aren’t that hard to find and are not fancy. Here are some of the low-carb diet approved kinds of food: steak, eggs, fowl, meat, mozzarella, cheddar, salad vegetables, pumpkin, leeks, broccoli, sour cream, cabbage, okra, and all kinds of meat (except processed and cured ones).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">AllAboutHealthWellness Recommends:</span> <a href="http://ba30ee6bq2xg70mqq0-mr3q-75.hop.clickbank.net/">Low Carb Diet</a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://ba30ee6bq2xg70mqq0-mr3q-75.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Click Here!</a><br />

However, not all of them have acquired the fame and fortune that popular diet programs such as the After Six Diet, South Beach Diet and Atkins Diet have achieved. Nevertheless, it would still be interesting to know some of the less popular dieting methods.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Hypnosis For Weight Loss</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>This is probably one of the last methods of weight loss that would cross your mind, but yes, there are actually weight loss hypnosis therapies available.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>In this kind of program, you go to a hypnotherapist who can administer the proper procedure. You are brought into a state of mind in which you will be able to control your food cravings and suppress your appetite. Hence, you won’t experience the pitfalls of overeating. This would then lead to weight loss.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Subliminal Messages</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Just like hypnosis, subliminal messaging is also used for getting rid of fat. While subliminal messaging has been quite an issue for some time there are still institutions that believe that the human mind is capable of getting subliminal messages that are embedded in various kinds of media.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>For instance, you can listen to an audio track or music that subliminally tells you to control your appetite and not eat fatty foods. You may also go for pictures. The messages that you want to get can also vary depending on your need. There are companies that actually render this kind of service. All you’d have to do is tell them what you want to achieve and they can even embed a subliminal message to your favorite music!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>This is one good way of getting motivated so that you can easily exercise on a regular basis thus, leading to weight loss.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Stomach Stapling</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>If you do not mind extremes, one weight loss method would be stomach stapling. This entails a medical procedure known as Vertical Banded Gastroplasty. Although it is a legal procedure that is used to manage obesity, the whole surgery itself is considered to be dangerous and is only used as a last resort. It is used primarily for those who are considered morbidly obese.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>The procedure involves staples along with a band. These would be used to make a small pouch in your stomach. At the bottom of this pouch, there is be a 1 cm hole into which the contents of the pouch could flow into the rest of your stomach and continue to the rest of your digestive system. The aim of this procedure is to regulate your metabolic rate along with your calorie intake.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Acupuncture</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Another alternative method is acupuncture therapy. According to traditional Chinese medicine, people tend to have excess weight because of an imbalance within their system. This imbalance is generally caused by malfunctions of your spleen and liver.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Hence, by acupuncture, certain pressure points on your body are targeted to return the normal function of your liver and spleen. The therapy would also target the well-being of your endocrine system, which can leave you with a happier disposition.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Massage Therapy And Weight Loss</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Another alternative is massage therapy. Believers of this kind of method claim that getting a massage can actually help in losing weight due to various reasons. Since massage can enhance blood circulation, it is also thought that it can increase the metabolic rate. This increase in metabolism can tap the stock energy inside the body and lead to losing fat.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It also improves the strength of your muscles, which makes them more fit when exercising. However, you should understand that getting a massage is only considered to be a support for weight loss and not really a main activity for you to shed some fat.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">AllAboutHealthWellness Recommends:</span> <a href="http://29ec1p99fzxmcqopvzyot2gq3p.hop.clickbank.net/" style="color: black;">Subliminal Health & Fitness Videos</a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://29ec1p99fzxmcqopvzyot2gq3p.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Click Here!</a></div><br />

However, what most people tend to forget is how many calories really equals one pound. Dieters should understand that losing weight really takes time and is definitely a process.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>So, How Much Is It?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>In reality, 1 pound of fat is equivalent to 453.6 grams, while 1 gram of fat would contain 9 calories. Thus, one fat pound would contain 4082 calories. This would come from the equation: 9 x 453.6 = 4,082.4 . This is the approximate amount of calories that you gain every time your body consumes a pound of fat.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>However, when talking about getting rid of 1 lb of body fat, you must get your body to burn 3500 calories. Obviously, 3500 calories is definitely not equal to 4,082 calories, right?!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>What’s With The Difference?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>So, what’s with this big difference? Actually, the reason is that fat cells in your body actually contain other materials, like water and protein. Hence, they’re not really made up of pure fat, unlike what you consume. In consequence, when you lose one pound of body fat, you really burn only about 3500 calories and not 4082calories.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Gaining Or Losing Weight</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>If you want to gain weight, you would have to add 3,500 calories to your diet so that you can gain one pound of fat. On the other hand, you would also have to take off 3,500 calories so that you can also get rid of one pound of your weight.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>What’s The Implication?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>As you can see, this simply answers the question as to why some diet programs are impossible to succeed. How come? Take note that the needed average calorie intake of a person in a day to supply vital functions and maintain their weight would usually fall into the 2000 calorie or 2500 calorie diet. Obviously, this is far from 3,500 calories. Hence if you want to lose one pound in a day, you would have to go to the extent of not getting any kind of calorie intake plus burning another 1,000 or 1,500 calories.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>This basically means torture to your body. Also, it would be difficult to execute a plan like this since your body is wise enough to detect what is happening. Hence, there is no such thing as instant dieting or instant weight loss.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Do not be victimized by those countless advertisements of weight loss products that say you can get an instant one pound off your scale as soon as you use their product for just a few minutes or an hour. Promises like that are definitely impossible to achieve. It would take burning more than your daily calorie need just to get that pound off in a day!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Taking It Slow</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Nevertheless, it is still possible for you to get rid of that pound.

A majority of dieters tend to feel that they’re not getting any progress, especially when they come into the phase where slow rates of weight loss occurs, such as when they get stranded on the infamous weight loss plateau.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Achieving Your Way To Victory</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>If you are really determined to lose weight, you can still take advantage of this information.

This is something more achievable than losing a pound in a day. Hence, divide 3,500 calories by 7 (there are 7 days in a week) and you’ll get 500. Thus, you would have to cut 500 calories from your daily diet. So, if you’re eating a 2,500 calorie diet, you would have to cut down to a 2,000 diet so that you can lose 1 lb in 7 days.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">AllAboutHealthWellness Recommends:</span> <a href="http://6ad37m37id4fewnyp403t44s8j.hop.clickbank.net/">New 7 Minutes Diet</a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://6ad37m37id4fewnyp403t44s8j.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Click Here!</a></div><br />

This diet plan is well known for its aim of tricking one’s metabolism. Basically, it tries to avoid the "plateau" which is common among a majority of diet plans on the market.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Frustrating Plateau</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you’ve been dieting tried different kinds of diets then you are probably familiar with hitting the dismaying "plateau" which is also called "the wall" at times. This is basically the strange phenomenon which occurs when someone has successfully dieted and brings weight loss to an instant halt. Hence, no matter how hard you try to continue losing weight, nothing happens.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This so-called plateau occurs most of the time during the 3rd or 4th week after you’ve started dieting and seems to be a persistently reoccurring factor in that period of your diet onward.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s A Reflex</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, what most people do not know is that these frustrating periods during dieting are actually the their body’s natural defense mechanism. This is how it works.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When your routine of taking in food changes, your body instinctively knows what you’re up to. In a frantic attempt to avoid starvation your body gets into a protective attitude against this change. In turn, it tries to slow down your metabolism to prevent losing further weight.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Frustration On Its Way</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other than trimming the total sum of weight that you want to lose, dieters start to believe that they’re simply unable to lose weight. This is where you start getting frustrated. This also leads to the point where people start giving up.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Trick</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Calorie Shifting diets are the answer to this problem. It tries to eliminate the occurrence of this plateau. By changing the number of calories you eat every day, the diet effectively attempts to trick your metabolism. In doing so it makes your body believe that a steady or slow weight loss or diet is actually occurring. Your body believes this trick and it doesn’t get into that protective mode.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once you get past this point, your body’s metabolism does not slow down. Consequently, it wouldn’t prevent you from further losing weight. Thus, you get to continue weight loss and get the most out of your current diet.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How To Execute The Trick</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are various ways to could integrate this kind of dietary plan into your everyday routine. Thanks to its versatility, it’s a diet that is relatively easy for roughly anyone to integrate into their present lifestyle, regardless of what kind of lifestyle you have. There are a lot of different Calorie Shifting diets out there that you can follow. Here are some of the most popular methods.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 14 Day Method</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One popular diet is the 14-day method. Here, you’ll be doing the diet for 14 days. Within those days, 11 days would be allotted to following your scheduled diet plan, while the next 3 days would let you freely eat whatever kind of food that you want.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The entire diet itself also rotates the various types of foods that you eat throughout the day, which also helps in tricking your metabolism. The 3 cheat days in the program not only prevent your body from making a defense mechanism but also prevents you from being frustrated with having a strict eating regimen and falling off the routine. You could continue doing this 14 day plan as long as you feel that it is necessary for you to get rid of excess weight.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 2 Day Method</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another popular method is the 2 Day diet plan. This includes having an “up day” and a “down day”. The whole program is based on a 2-day schedule. The up day would be the day where you can eat regularly, while the down day would be the day in which you would limit your calorie intake by 20-35% less than your normal consumption. You simply continue the pattern until you are able to get your target weight.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">AllAboutHealthWellness Recommends:</span> <a href="http://9ef6ccx1gzuq5xmaqhu08z7z54.hop.clickbank.net/">Cabbage Soup Diet</a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://9ef6ccx1gzuq5xmaqhu08z7z54.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Click Here!</a><br />

So, as a guide here are some of the essential things that you should know about the reality of how you can lose fat while exercising.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You Can Lose More Fat With High Intensity Exercise</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One piece of common knowledge is that you can lose more fat when you undergo high intensity exercise. However, you should be able to do enough of the exercise. If someone tells you that going for a 20-minute high-intensity training on an interval circuit or the stationary bike burns more fat compared to treadmill jogging for 40 minutes, then you’re not getting the complete story.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It requires hard work to undergo this kind of training and you would have to do it sufficiently for the results to be significant. Sadly, not all people are up for the challenge of undergoing high-intensity interval kinds of exercise regularly. Hence, you shouldn’t believe advertisements that say '15 minutes-a-day for a great body'. More than likely it’s just a publicity stunt.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Burning Fat Means Losing Weight</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another belief is that losing fat mean losing weight. This is true, however, you do not really need to go directly to fat burning. First off, you should consider how your body processes energy storage. Fat isn’t a permanent fixture of cells or it would come and go according to your body’s fuel requirements.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When glucose in your blood is low, which happens during early mornings, fat would be your body’s main fuel. However, after you get some food into your system, the amount of glucose in your blood would rise. This leads to insulin storing fat and glucose in cells. Consequently, your body also starts burning blood glucose.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When your glucose level in your blood gets low again, fat from fat cells are retrieved to be used as fuel. This is what’s called “fat burning.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After burning a lot of glucose, your body fat would get its turn to be burnt up since your blood glucose would be low. Hence, in a way, you really do not have to make fat burning your problem but instead focus on food fuel burning along with energy balance.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You Can Lose More Fat With Low Intensity Cardio Exercises</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This assumption is true; however there is more to it that just that. This is actually the same as with high intensity training and losing fat. You should be able to do just enough of it before you can shed off some fat. Generally, low intensity exercises that fall into the zone in which you could comfortably talk while exercising, is actually where fat could get burned better and be used as body fuel.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">High intensity exercises like weight training or interval training would use more glucose fuel coming from carbohydrates. However, some fat still gets burned during higher intensities. Hence, if you exercise that hard long enough, you might be able to burn more, or just the same amount of fat during higher intensity compared to less or equal work at lower intensities.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This after-burn could also contribute to an increase in your metabolism rate after undergoing high intensity workouts. Ultimately, your body doesn’t really care what fuel you’re burning. Hence, you’d get the same results: what you intake in excess of what you’ll be expending would be stored as fat, even if there’s a significant metabolic difference among carbohydrate, fat, and protein.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lose More Fat With Weight Training</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just like other beliefs, this is true if you do it regularly and with a high level of duration. It’s really not recommended for you to do just a few heavy lifts coupled with a couple of minutes break in between, then expect that your body has already used tons of energy and is able to burn a huge amount of fat.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Believe it or not, one hour of vigorous walking can burn 300 calories. Just the same, one hour of walking around the weight room chatting, drinking and completing 10 moderate intensity exercises would only burn a maximum of 300 calories.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">AllAboutHealthWellness Recommends:</span> <a href="http://563e9cz4matdhpd2nn-cnfsz8t.hop.clickbank.net/">Fat Loss Quickie</a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://563e9cz4matdhpd2nn-cnfsz8t.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Click Here!</a><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Probably the most common question asked by people who are trying to monitor their weight, is how many calories they really need on a daily basis. It is true that you can encounter various calorie diets such as the 2,000 cal diet; there is also the 2,500 cal diet and many other more. However, the question still remains, what is the right amount for you?</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Prerequisites In Determining Your Calorie Need</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In order to understand how much you need, you should first understand the principle of Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). This is an important factor in determining the amount of calories that your body needs.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What Is Basal Metabolic Rate?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your basal metabolic rate or BMR refers to the amount of calories that your body burns even while resting. Basically, the human body requires some calories in order to do vital body functions such as breathing, pumping of blood, and maintaining body temperature. The BMR represents the minimum amount of calories that you need to survive in a state where you are not engaging into any kind of activity. Literally, it represents the measure of calories you need just to dwell in bed and sleep throughout the day.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The higher your BMR, the more calories you’ll burn without having to engage in any kind physical activity. The rate of one person can vary greatly with another. A persons BMR is somewhat grounded in genetics. Generally, men have a higher metabolic rate compared to women. This is because they are predisposed to naturally having greater muscle mass and at the same time, lower body fat percentage.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hormones And BMR</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Basal metabolic rate is sometimes also affected by hormones. For instance, Thyroxin, which is created in the thyroid gland, is one very vital factor in BMR. If your body does not produce a sufficient amount of thyroxin, your rate will slow down. On the other hand, if your body produces too much thyroxin, your metabolic rate could increase even up to a hundred percent of your normal rate.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other Factors To Consider</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Additionally, other than gender and genetic factors, there are people who simply have naturally slower metabolisms, while others simply have naturally higher metabolic rates. The rates can also change significantly in relation to your age and level of activity that you do every day. In general, the leaner body mass you have, the higher basal metabolic rate is. Conversely, the higher your body fat percentage, the lower would your basal metabolic rate would be.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In Relation To Calorie Requirement</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see, the metabolic rate of each person differs. Hence, so does every individual daily calorie requirement. Generally, if your metabolic rate is higher, you’d need to have more calorie intake. On the other hand, if you have a pretty slow metabolism, this means your body only needs small amount of calories for vital purposes. Hence, your daily calorie needs would be less.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Estimating Your Calorie Needs</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since there are a lot of factors to consider when determining your calorie needs, it would take extensive research, monitoring and testing before a person could really know their exact daily calorie requirement. However, there are still methods that you can do in order to estimate how much your body really needs.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's one convenient and quick way for you to estimate your calorie needs. What you need to do is simply multiply your current weight by 15 in order to have the number of calories that you’d need every day just to maintain your current weight.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you presently weight 140 pounds and you’re very much happy with your present weight, you’ll need (15 x 140) approximately 2100 calories everyday just to maintain that weight. However, you should understand that this number is quite a general starting point, mainly because a lot of factors are not yet considered, such as whether you are active or sedentary, male or female, young or older. Take note that it’s only an estimate.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You should also keep in mind that that computation gives you the number for maintaining your weight. Losing weight would be another story. If you’re aiming to shed some fat, multiply your current weight by 10. For instance, if you weigh 130 pounds and you want to weigh less, you would have to limit your calorie intake to (10 x 130) 1300 calories per day.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">AllAboutHealthWellness Recommends:</span> <a href="http://9298cq36q9wrc0hznduqui8z9k.hop.clickbank.net/">Negative Calories Weight Loss Solution</a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://9298cq36q9wrc0hznduqui8z9k.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Click Here!</a><br />

When there is an excess of calories, they are not burned but are stored by the body as fat. It is common to hear that there are different types of calories. However, what this notion really means is that there are different forms in which calories may be obtained.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>The main types of calories include: carbohydrates, fats and proteins. All of them burn up when used in the body and turn into heat energy or calories.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Each kind varies in terms of chemical and physical properties. They can be found in various kinds of food, whether solely or in combination. Here are the essential things that you need to know about each calorie type.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Getting To Know The Feared Carbohydrates</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Carbohydrates are probably the most common type of calorie. They contain 3.75 kilocalories/gram and are found in foods that are mainly rich in starch and sugar. Most of them can be taken from plant-based foods like vegetables, fruits, and grains. Legumes, such as lentils, beans, and peas, are also rich in carbs. On the other hand, dairy products would be the only foods that come from animals which have a lot of carb content.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Generally, carbohydrates can still be classified into two subdivisions: simple and complex.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Simple carbs are basically sugars, such as glucose and fructose, which come from fruits and a few vegetables. Another type would be lactose, which comes from milk. Last would be sucrose, which comes from cane sugar.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Sugar that is for everyday use is pure sucrose. Many of the simple carbs that you eat are sugars mixed with processed foods such as cookies, sodas. Presently, these add-ons are the major reason why sugar accounts for 16% of total calories that are consumed by Americans.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>The complex types are chains of simple carbs, which primarily consist of starches along with fiber, which can be found in all foods that come from plants. However, plants store carbohydrates in the form of starch. Foods that have high complex carbs would include grains and products like bread and pasta. Additionally, potatoes, beans, corn, and other vegetables are also high in complex carbs.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Over Shadowed Proteins</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Since carbohydrates seem to be the most popular type of calorie, proteins on the other hand seem to be the most over shadowed in comparison with the fame of fats and carbs. However, it is also an important kind of calorie that you need to develop body muscle.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Proteins have 4 kilocalories/gram. The majority of this kind of calorie could not be naturally produced by the human body and must originate from dietary sources.

However, it still plays an important role in the normal function of the body. For instance, the body cannot absorb Vitamins A, E, D and K if not for it. Also, they’re an important source of fatty acids. They play an important role in the maintenance of healthy hair and skin. Protection is another function, since they protect various organs from shock. They are also insulators. This is very important for people that live in colder climates.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"></span>Fats can be obtained both from animals and plants.

In fact, back then, people didn’t really think about their weight. This is probably due to some economic factors. For instance, back then only the rich people were the ones who got fat. The majority of people were actually busy trying to survive and have at least one meal a day.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sin, Dieting And Vegetarianism</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ironically, the first diets came from the traditional war against sin. Since gluttony was considered to be one of the seven deadly sins, there were religious institutions that preached on eating healthy and the perils of sickness. The first known preacher of this principle was Sylvester Graham. He was ordained in 1826 and by 1830 he was preaching about the benefits of having a vegetarian diet.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The First Low-Carb Diet And Diet Book</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During the 1850’s a physician named Doctor Harvey in England had to treat a patient named William Banting regarding obesity.

However, he took it a step higher as he advised that food should be chewed until it became liquid in the mouth. He also advised that all kinds of meat must be avoided along with tea, coffee and alcohol. It was also him who spread the principle that people shouldn’t eat until they felt hungry and that people should have a happy disposition during meal times.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Calories In The Making</span></b></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wilbur Atwater, a chemist, was the one to discover the calorific value of food.
