Fat Loss
You don’t have to go hungry or restrict yourself to a diet in order to release unwanted extra pounds safely...
I urge you to read these weight loss tips now and you'll quickly discover how just a few simple steps, can help you enjoy living in weight loss utopia ...
Flaxseed...natures gift!
Dear Lifestyler,
Thanks for your valuable time, you're much appreciated.
Today with your permission...I'd like to share with you three easy steps to healthy weight loss success.
Step #1:
Before you get started, I believe its important for you to understand that it’s true.
Yes, fiber is known for its ability to keep your digestive track clean and in reducing cravings.
But...
One of the most common food allergens and a major cause of fat accumulation (or weight gain) in many women is wheat.
There's nothing wicked about wheat, its actually a good natural source of food and this is the main emphasis, although you should be aware of your daily overuse of wheat and/or wheat products.
Wheat contains a protein called gluten, which is difficult to break down, absorb and assimilate...
Think about it.
This means you can't digest your food properly, and when you do eat you're actually letting the food sit in your gut and wreak havoc with your digestive process and waistline.
Too much gluten in your system and not enough physical activity causes you the majority of health related problems...gluten can trigger fatigue, depression, bloating and intestinal gas.
By the way, I'm not suggesting you've to eliminate wheat all together or run a 2 hour gruelling marathon or punish yourself with hours of aerobic exercise.
The good news is it’s now easier than ever to steer clear of hip bulging, bloat-inducing wheat.
If you're interested in dramatically increasing your energy levels plus at the same time reducing your dress size, simply cut-back on eating breads made from white flour.
Of course, you can give yourself a second chance by substituting bread with brown or wild rice, millet, amaranth, quinoa, or soy and oat.
Choose crackers made with rice or potatoes; pasta made with rice, quinoa, or buckwheat; and cookies made with rice, oat or millet flour.
You’ll find plenty of delicious options in your health food store or healthy aisle of your supermarket!
Okay, just to clarify step #1:
You simply cut back on eating too much wheat because gluten stimulates your appetite and can trigger inflammation...which leads to packing on more unwanted fat.
Taking advantage of this easy step now and you're on your way to shedding those unwanted pounds without effort.
Step #2:
Increase your daily intake or consumption of essential fats.
Why?
Essential fats help you feel fuller and can even reduce your appetite.
Basically, there are two types of essential fats, one derived from plants and the other from animal sources...both are good medicine.
In fact, flaxseed is full of omega-3 fatty acids, one of nature’s most all round wholsome foods.
(Flaxseed packs a one-two punch providing both fatty acids and an excellent source of fiber plus the essential oils in flax may also help do wonders for your skin and restoring eye vision.)
Flaxseed is a small dark brown seed that you can use it in a variety of ways, but it must be milled or ground for the nutrients to be released.
Indeed, a lot of food products contain flax seed such as bread, cereal and bakery goods. Bakers may use flax seed flour or include flax seed in baking.
I recommend four to six tablespoons daily, alone or sprinkled on food because the benefits of flax seed in heart disease and cholesterol lowering is just too good to ignore:

I recommend four to six tablespoons daily, alone or sprinkled on food because the benefits of flax seed in heart disease and cholesterol lowering is just too good to ignore:
- Substitute flax seed mixture for eggs in home baking such as muffin and pancake (1 tbsp milled flax seed, plus 3 tbsp water = 1 egg)
- Include in other recipe when nutty flavor is preferred
- Substitute flax seed oil for other oils (don't cook using these oils)
Benefits of flax seed include lowering cholesterol, triglyceride and blood pressure.
When you add flax seed to your cooking, you're add a very pleasant, nutty taste...
Flax seed can added great texture to your cooking in its ground or whole seed form. Milled flax tastes great in hot or cold cereal, on salads, pasta, or in shakes.
Its high content of alpha linolenic acids has made the ancient flax seed become our modern miracle food.
Alpha linolenic acid is a type of omega 3 fatty acid, similar to those found in fish such as salmon (in my experience, fatty acids derived from fish are even more beneficial.)
Benefits of flax seed as shown in many studies include lowering total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (the bad cholestrol) levels.
Other benefits show that flax seed may also help lower blood triglyceride because it may also keep blood platelets from becoming sticky therefore reducing the chance of a heart attack.
Recent studies also showed positive benefits of flax seed oil in IBD (Crohn's Disease and Colitis).
Flax seed oil seems to be able to heal the inner lining of the inflamed intestines...
Let me explain the roles fat and fiber play in weight loss:
Fat provides more calories than protein and carbohydrates, is used more slowly for energy, and helps to maintain satiety for longer periods of time.
I recommend you consume adequate amounts of good fat (omega-3 and 6 essential fatty acids) on a daily basis because studies confirm that a moderate fat diet (25%-35% of calories from fat) is effective in losing weight.
In addition to their appetite-suppressing abilities, they may also help promote normal brain function, and may improve mood and emotional state, a big plus while losing weight.
Fiber is an integral part of weight loss.
It increases bulk and helps reduce appetite, producing feelings of satiety.
By slowing the release of carbohydrates into your bloodstream, fiber also helps keep energy levels consistent and high.
Sufficient fiber helps support good colon function and helps to eliminate wastes (by products or toxins that are stored as a result of natural body processes) then released during weight loss.
It also helps to bind and flush out excess fluids and estrogen, which I firmly believe contribute to fatty deposits in women.
From fat and fiber, to flax and fullness, sometimes even the smallest things can lead to big changes in your health for better or worse.
Step #3:
Okay...things are looking better for you already.
You’ve begun to eliminate the major cause of fat, now it’s time to rev up your metabolism, and start burning fat and calories more efficiently.
You'll be surprised to hear that along with its antioxidant properties, green tea can help you burn calories as well.
Green tea contains special chemicals called catechins.
Now green tea may not be everyone's favorite...but these catechins are linked to protecting a brain chemical related to metabolism.
Listen to this carefully...
The higher your levels of this brain chemical, the greater your metabolism and the faster you burn calories.
One cup of brewed green tea contains about 100 mg of catechins.
To reap the full benefit of green tea, I recommend consuming at least three eight-ounce cups daily (to provide roughly 240-320 mg of catechins). If you prefer not to drink the tea, either of these options provides the same level of protection:
1) 300-400 mg daily of green tea extract.
Be sure the product is standardized to 80 percent catechins and at least 50 percent epigallocatechin (EGCG).
This extract is not always caffeine-free; check the label.
2) 100 mg of green tea catechins, taken three times daily. This product is caffeine-free.
Simply do this one thing to help fuel up your metabolism each day or try one of the other natural, fat-burning nutrients that may help with weight loss that's why I recommend it in "Living It Up In Fat Loss Utopia.
They help convert fat to energy, so it doesn’t end up on your hips!
Thanks for reading, I’ll also tell you about the connection between thyroid function and weight gain and some small changes you can make to help keep your thyroid functioning proper!
More Power to You.
Thanks for reading...learn something new everyday and then apply.
I appreciate you, come back often and please send in your feedback, comments and success story.
