******************

My experience:

Home:

No problem for first few years till 1975 years.

Added a cup of coffee to my intake nothing changed 30 years later, 365 x 30 x18 = 197100 cal in that time frame = 54.75 pounds.

All this 54.6 pounds of weight, more then the ideal weight can be attributed to a one tea spoon of sugar, in a cup of coffee every day.

After adding some 60 pounds this way yeastier day only I started evaluating the weight gain and I came up with this calculations.

How about those teaspoons of sweet nothings, sugar only?

Kitchen:

I had only one problem I did not work out that 18 cal every day by just straightening up the kitchen and scrubbing that kitchen sink very day and keeping it like new.

Work Place:

I had a parking place very close to the door so I did not get chance to walk enough to work those 18 cal off.

School:

Ha!, ha!!, ha!!!, this is where I acquire knowledge but my problem is that I just realized that 18 cal of sugar in coffee has made me fall in the obese category, from normal in 30 years.

I use to walk 6 miles to school both ways up and I am not kidding, I lived at one end of the hill and school was at the other end of the hill. So up the hill down the hill to school and same thing coming back.

Life Style Change Program for Loosing Weight

By

minootoo

Who needs to loose weight?

Answer is simply not every one, only the over weight person.

Who is over weight?

This is simple, it is easy to find out and it is available on line, it is call Body Mass Index, and calculations are simple. According to this calculation if you find your self say only 10 pounds more, you may not be over weight. Remember every one is slightly different and you can just watch it, on your own and not let it get out of hand.

What is the reason for being over weight?

This is also simple, have doctor check you out for any physical or hormonal abnormalities. The doctor should be advising you of your ideal weight even though you have already figured out the ideal weight and you are seen a doctor because your weight is not where it should be according to BMI.

Basic understanding of loosing weight.

Every one uses calories at all time. There may be some exceptions to this rule, for most of us; the rate of use, even when we are resting, we use 65 calories per hour minimum. This comes to1560 calories per day. The actual range is between 65 and 100 calories per hour. This is consistent with heart rate of 60 to 80 bits per minute.

Simply put any person eating only say 1500 calories a day will not put on any additional weight. At this level of calories consumption the person should loose some weight over long haul, depending on the individual rate of metabolism.

What is a healthy weight loss?

When one tries to loose weight, one should loose excess fat; there should be a healthy loss of weight. Loosing muscles tissue is unhealthy.

How much is one pound of body fat?

One pound of body fat weight is approximately same as one pound of butter. If you look at a one pound package of butter, you will see it contains between 3200 to 3600 calories. This means that each time a person burns 3600 more calories then what the person takes in, the person will loose one pound.

How many pounds should a person loose in a month?

Any one that is trying to trim down can figure out how long it took to put on the excess pounds. The fact is; it did not happen over night. It usually creeps up, but the person realizes one day suddenly.

This is why a person should not be in a hurry to loose weight. The person should start at once but go slowly. Do not wait for New Year.

Taking above in to consideration a person should not loose more then 2 pounds per month. If a person looses any thing more then that, chances are that the person will not be able to maintain the weight loss. It will take extra efforts to loose and it will take extra efforts to keep it off. Remember slow and steady wins the race.

When an overweight person should start loosing weight?

At once. The person should not be in a hurry to loose weight. The person should start at once but go slowly. Again do not wait for New Year.

How does body react to weight lose?

Any time there is depletion of fat beyond certain level, the body reacts by slowing down metabolism, so that it can build up fat. If the body is use to say 2000 calories per day and detects only 1500 calories per day for considerable length of time it reacts to the situation by reducing the rate of metabolism. When this happens one need to help body by increasing activity. Usually takes about four weeks for body to react.

What is the relationship between body and body fat?

Under ideal condition fat act as a reserved energy source for our body. Certain level of fat is good for healthy living and even may save our life in certain life threatening situations. Every one should have minimum required level of fat on their body.

What if there is no weight loss at 1500 calories in take level?

This is a rear occurrence. Do not panic. The body has slowed down the metabolism to such a great extent that you must help it. The only way to help is to increase activities, this means you have to exercise. You do not need to join Gym but you can go on an an half an hour walk every day or batter still engage in a power walk for same duration. Power walk burns 250 calories per hour and walk burns 100 calories per hour approximately.

What is the importance of body fat for a female?

Females require little more body fat then men. In the absence of certain required level of body fat, females are not able to function properly; in particular they may not be able to conceive. You can find lot more about this on internet.

At 1500 calories intake per day what one must drink and eat?

Drink

One gallon of liquids most of witch should be in the form of water (zero calories).

Calories should be accounted for all other liquids.

Why water?

Water is a universal solvent, means it dissolves almost every thing at least in very minute quantities. This helps purification of body.

Eat

What should be your proportionate in take of fat, Proteins and Complex Carbohydrates?

This depends on what your need are.

1.Need to reduce fat.

Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.

Complex Carbohydrates: 30 percent of 1500 calories per day = 450 calories.

Proteins: 60 percent of 1500 calories per day = 900 calories.

2.Need more energy.

Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.

Complex Carbohydrates: 40 percent of 1500 calories per day = 450 calories.

Proteins: 50 percent of 1500 calories per day = 750 calories.

3.Need to reduce weight only.

Fat: 25 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 375 calories.

Complex Carbohydrates: 25 percent of 1500 calories per day = 375 calories.

Proteins: 50 percent of 1500 calories per day = 750 calories.

4.Need to increase muscles bulk, but still reduce weight.

Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.

Complex Carbohydrates: 15 percent of 1500 calories per day = 225 calories.

Proteins: 75 percent of 1500 calories per day = 1125 calories.

Exercise the muscles you want to develop, you can find right exercise on line, recommend use of light weights.

Foot note: To take fat is so important, while reducing even fat, that it is included in all cases. If the fat is completely cut out, body will think of producing the fat, and will produce the fat by reducing metabolism, without fat in take, you may actually again weight even at lower than 1500 calorie level. You will feel run down and lethargic.

Answer 6

Dear Vasant :

Are you eating balanced, varied meals during the week ? Food is medicine and if you eat right,  the body will have optimal health.  According to Ayurveda and Naturopathy as known in India, you need to include the six tastes at every main meal

Ayurveda classifies food into six tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent and astringent. It is recommended that each of the six are included at every meal, as each one has a balancing effect and including some of each will help to minimise cravings, especially sweet cravings.

Eating sweets at the end of the meal is followed by some communities, but in Southern India, sweets are consumed a little in the beginning and then, just before the last course of rice and yogurt/buttermilk and pickles. It is said, eating astringent things at the end will help digestion.

Eating sweets LAST has been linked to a) obesity b) indigestion 3) diabetes -- because the body tends to absorb the sugar the fastest and  FIRST,  while the other beneficial foods have already passed through the system with a poorer absorbtion. Sugar remaining on the teeth and tongue causes dental problems as well.



There's lots you can read by googling...Take care...

Answer 7

Have occasional blood and urine test for sugar and ensure that it is OK.

Answer 8

First i suggest you not to ask any health related questions here and lissen to all the people whom i just read.

You have to take the sweet between the meals....let me tell you why.

You take some food and the places between teeth will be filledup and there ownt be any empty place for sweet. After again you take normal food then its cleans the swetness from your teeth and not to give any chance for the germs to damage ur teeth.

You can also consult the doc on this.

Answer 9

Yes. I am in same category.

Answer 10

hi

as per  our indian tradition in ancient days all people used to have sweet(little) b4 &after their food

don't worry but  don't have more than 1 r 2

ok,

bye..............

Answer 11

Almost anything is fine if you don't eat too much of it. Just don't have a cookie every day after lunch.

You can replace this urge for sweets with an apple or an orange. I like Mandarin Oranges!!! They are wonderful and healthy. Also try drinking water when you develop this craving. If I drink enough, it makes me full enough to where I can't even look at food.

Edit: Just don't drink too much, like I said earlier, consuming too much of anything can be bad. Water kind of fits in that category, but not really.

Answer 12

yes, it should not be any problem. it is o kay.

Answer 13

It's probably just conditioning.  Did your mother give you dessert after your meals?  If you stop eating refined sugar, the urge will eventually go away.

If you really need something sweet, try the sweeter fruits like figs mixed with some unsweetened soy yogurt.

Answer 14

You could also be deficient in Vitamin B,and magnesium

Get a CBC (complete blood count).

Do drink plenty of water?

When i get too many urges, I just drink water.

Works every time...

It will go away.

Answer 15

I think it is ok if you do it in moderation.

Eat fruits, dates after a meal instead of other sweets on some days.

Do remember to take proper care of your teeth. Don't forget to rinse well and brush your teeth.

I too like to eat something sweet after a meal.

Answer 16

yea! just don't over do it.
