Easy Steps to Healthy Weight Loss

Posted on 30 July 2010. Tags: Easy, Healthy, Loss, Steps, Weight

There are weight loss diets , plans, pills, surgeries, drugs, programs, spas, patches, clinics and even weight loss teas. Store shelves are lined with weight loss products, from supplements to books and videos. Weight loss is a billion dollar industry, with no end in sight. It appears by the rising weight of Americans that weight loss is a complicated and elusive goal. The truth is that weight loss is a simple equation of nutrition and exercise. Weight is gained or lost depending upon your diet and how much you go your body.

While certain plans, products and programs will work for some, there is an equation that works for all: lowering one’s calories and exercising.

Weight Loss and Food

The best way to take control of your food intake is to buy two simple items: a notebook and a pencil. Write down what you are eating. Log the calories you consume. This makes it simpler to cut your caloric intake, without doing an extreme diet or cutting out any foods completely. If you want to make a change, cut out a spoonful of sugar in your coffee every morning, have one egg instead of two, buy bread with less calories and find out what foods you like with a low calorie count.

To help with calorie cutting, you can also buy simple snack foods and eat them every hour or two, such as a single serving of applesauce, a banana, or a low-stout pudding serving. These small treats will make you feel as if you are eating often, but will not bulk you up in weight. You may not have to eat less, in fact, you may be able to eat more and more often, but by realizing how many calories you are taking in, you can find simple and creative ways to lose weight without losing enjoyment.

Weight Loss and Exercise

Unless you’ve found an exercise technique that you absolutely like doing, such as yoga or tennis, then you are probably like most people: you don’t do it. More than ever people spend their days in front of a computer screen and their nights in front of a television screen. This is one of the largest contributing factors when it comes to weight gain. The body needs movement to be healthy.

You don’t need to join a gym, buy an exercise video library or buy fancy workout clothing. What most don’t realize is that a mere fifteen or thirty minutes a day can make a huge difference in the amount of calories being expended. Deciding to take the stairs instead of the elevator, taking a walk around the block during a lunch break or even spending a few minutes dancing in your home to your favorite music in the evening, is burning calories. If you, like most Americans, have a sedentary lifestyle, adding a few small changes into your daily routine can make a huge difference. Every movement is burning calories.

Calculating Your Daily Calorie Needs

There are many nutritional calculators available on the web to help you count calories, vitamins, minerals and choose what your nutritional needs are. It is as simple as imputing your sex, age, height, weight and daily exercise activity into the calculator. Once you have place this information into a nutritional calculator, you will be told how many calories you need to take in per day to maintain or lose weight. The calculator will give you your BMI (body mass index), which will tell you your daily energy expenditure and your estimated energy (calorie) requirements.

For instance, if you are a 35 year ancient female who is 5-foot, 5 inches and weighs 165 lbs, but leads a sedentary life that finds you only walking for 30 minutes a day at a slow rate of 2mph, then you will need to take in 2120 calories to maintain your weight. Your BMI will be 27.5 and if you want to lose weight, you must eat less than 2120 calories per day and/or exercise more.

By learning to know your daily calorie requirements and the amount of calories burned in exercise, you can take control of your own weight loss, without any special diets, pills or products. Simply cut a few calories here and there and add a few movements for healthy, long lasting weight loss.

Weight Loss: Dangers of Using Laxatives for Weight Loss

Posted on 24 July 2010. Tags: Dangers, Laxatives, Loss, Using, Weight

One well loved weight loss supplements available in the market today take the form of tea. Stores all over sell slimming tea, dieter’s tea and others but all of them are really the same. They may appear to be effective, but what is not seen may really harm you.

One of the effects of drinking dieter’s tea is frequent bowel movement. This gives people the feeling of body cleansing. These people may get toxins out of their body but it isn’t exactly the only thing that slimming tea really does to the body. Slimming tea contains herbs which are natural laxatives. These include aloe, senna, rhubarb root, cascara, buckthorn and castor oil. These are products which are derived from plants and are used since the ancient times because of their potency in treating constipation and to inducing bowel movement.

Cascara, castor oil and senna are substances which are recognized as laxatives available over the counter and are also regulated as drugs. Scientific studies show that diarrhea induced by laxatives does not absorb significant amounts of calories taken in the body.

The reason for this is that laxatives do not act on the small intesines where most of the calories are absorbed. Instead, they work on the large intestines. If taken in large amounts for prolonged periods, it can affect stout absorption of the body. This may lead to greasy diarrhea and loss of weight. Abuse of laxatives is common practice among people who suffer from bulimia and anorexia nervosa.

While weight loss can be guaranteed by overdosing on laxatives, it may also cause permanent hurt to the gastrointesitinal tract and the weakening and softening of the bones, a condition known as osteomalacia. Drinkers of slimming teas may really patronize the product because they are less axpensive and taste better than other laxatives sold in the market. Other people, such as those with eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia nervosa drink dieter’s tea because they work quick and produce watery stool and having loose consistency.

Women may even be more susceptible to the effects of slimming teas. Although they may are not known to interfer directly with the woman’s menstrual cycle and fertility, they should watch out if drinking them causes them to rapidly shed off weight. It is also not safe for pregnant women to be taking in laxatives of any kind. Wise and reponsible herbalists also discourage the use of senna and other herbal products with laxative properties for pregnant women and women who are trying to conceive.

One should be wary about these findings because the labeling of slimming teas in the market today can be absolutely misleading. For instance, they commonly refer to the laxative qualities as “natural bowel cleansing properties” and not specifically use the word “laxative”.Some even use the term “low-calorie” on their marking. These products in fact, contain essentially no calories nor nutrients whatsoever; unless of course, if they are sweetened.

Adverse effects of misusing laxatives in the form of slimming tea generally occur when taken in more than or longer than recommended. These include nausea, stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, fainting, rectal bleeding,electrolyte disorder and dehydration as well as injury and worse, death. It was also reported that excess use of stimulant laxatives cause severe constipation and pain for long periods (as much as for decades) due to the colon losing its function. It eventually led to surgery removing the colon.
