Drinking water before meals is the best way to lose weight
Washington, Aug 24 : Have you tried out every trick in the book to lose weight – crash diets, gyms, or simply starving yourself? Now, try a simple trick – drink a glass or two of water before meals, as that’s the best way to curb appetite and shed those pounds – says a new research.
“In this recent study, we found that over the course of 12 weeks, dieters who drank water before meals, three times per day, lost about 5 pounds more than dieters who did not increase their water intake,” said Brenda Davy of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.

Atkins Diet: What to do about a stall?

admin — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:49:25 +0000

In this the second half of the stall series, I deal with what should be the reaction of those who aren’t losing inches or pounds for more than 4 weeks. Note: these are not for those that had a bad week or didn’t lose in the last two week.

Here’s a synopsis on what to try:
1. Take your measurements (make sure you are in a stall)
2. Start a food diary (Fitday, SparkPeople)
3. Evaluate what you are eating
4. Tweak exercise – “try 5″
5. Cut out certain groups (dairy, aspartame, caffiene, newly tried food groups)
6. Post your menu’s at online support group sites
7. Fasting diet (Fat Fast or Stillman’s Diet) for those with extreme metabolically resistance

Atkins Recipes: Mock Danish

admin — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:58:28 +0000

I performed my first low carb cooking demonstration and showed the world the wonders of the mock danish. Mock danishes were one of the new comfort foods that I learned how to cook and was used to kill cravings that threatened the diet early on. Some qualifications for Kent’s comfort foods were it had to be both easy and quick to make, and it could not have a lot of ingredients to prep. Most of the recipes, I will be demonstrating have my seal of approval for taste and ease in preparation …

Atkins Diet: Accountability

admin — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:10:12 +0000

aka “Temptation, Visualization, Success… Oh My! (Part 2)” This video is the second in the Temptation Resistance series. Accountability is probably one of the most helpful suggestions I have for new dieters. Being accountable to oneself and to others absolutely helps fight the temptations. I was so much less likely to go offplan when I knew others were also around me looking for what a low carber really ate. So rather than being a negative, the cynics, which I readily admit I was at one …

Atkins Diet Quick Hits: Constipation and Diarrhea

admin — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:10:11 +0000

In this the second of the “Quick Hit” series of videos, I deal with a question I receive often in the comments section or private message to me. “What do I do about gastronomic ailments, like Constipation or Diarrhea?” This might be a TMI (Too Much Information) episode. For Constipation, I recommend: 1. Adding ground flax meal into your diet in things like salad or other items (like mock danishes) 2. Consider Psyllium husks in form of capsules or powder (1-2 TBS per day). Note: Remember to …

Court outlaws testing for MadCow http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/30/business/30briefs-APPELLATEPAN_BRF.html?_r=1&oref=slogin A vegan is a person who does not consume any animal products. A vegitarian is someone who doesn’t eat meat. Many vegitarians consume dairy products and some eat eggs. Most vegans will not eat any meat, eggs, dairy, or even medication made from animal products. Most will not eat honey. I myself like honey and see it is a good natural alternative to sugar so on this point …
