The worst diet resolutions...

When it comes to losing weight, it is important to be specific, but realistic goals is even more important. As proof, here is a list of the worst resolutions to lose weight.

1. Refrain from consuming "bad" foods

The diet you follow excludes food you prefer (chocolate, cheese, ice cream, chips, etc..), Which already causes a sense of deprivation. You will hold good few weeks, of course, but you get tired very quickly this plan, then you will fall. The result? You will begin to eat food "excluded" without restraint to compensate for weeks of deprivation.


2. Skipping meals to cut calories

"Skipping meals can have an impact on your metabolism," says Aviva Allen, Toronto nutritionist. Your body will store a surplus of fat in anticipation of a possible lack of food. Instead of refraining from eating, eat small, frequent meals instead of food or snacks rich in nutrients (ideally every three hours) and avoid, if possible, to eat after 19 h, because the metabolism idling in end of the day.

In addition, eating regularly increases your chances of success while skipping meals is not a realistic way to achieve this. Moreover, "the biggest mistake you can make is to view your diet as a temporary means to achieve your goals of weight loss, reveals the specialist, and if you intend to return to your old habits once the terminated plan, you will regain the lost weight very quickly, "she adds.


3. Perform the same routine every day

Perform the same routine day after day is hard on morale and this may discourage you. In his first book, 5-Factor Fitness Harley Pasternak recommends a different workout for each day of the week, each to a specific part of the body. Increase repetitions, change the order of exercises, regardless of the type of changes you make in training, the key is to vary your routine enough not to get bored. "It is necessary to introduce a change per day, at least," he suggests.


4. Agree to follow the latest fad diet

The fad diets, those that require the purchase of special foods and whose plan excludes certain food groups give only temporary results. You end up regaining the lost weight. "You must at all costs avoid yo-yo with your weight, because in the long run, your metabolism will take a hit and it will be harder to lose weight," says Joey Shulman, a specialist in nutrition. It is for you to choose a plan that fits your lifestyle, a diet that you can follow even after reaching your weight loss goals.


5. Eliminate carbohydrates from their diet

If you fail to consume the foods one food group, you exclude nutrients you probably need to lose weight and stay healthy. "You must include all important food groups, including carbohydrates, advises nutritionist Aviva Allen. Complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, legumes and vegetables are important sources of fiber, which are essential in maintaining regularity and digestive function in the process of removing excess cholesterol, fat and toxins from our body.

Why your diet does not work...??!!

You follow to the letter your diet, but you do not lose weight? Here are 6 reasons for this lack of 
results.

Your goal is unrealistic.

Let's be honest, most of us do not have the body of a mannequin. Our body resembles that of Naomi Campell or rather that of Oprah Winfrey, our silhouette depends largely on our genetics. "If I put two people in a controlled environment and I make them eat the same number of calories, one can easily gain weight and the other not, that's what makes genetics," says Arya Sharma, physician and president of the Cardiovascular Obesity Research and Management at the University of Alberta.


You continue to consume soft drinks.


Most soft drinks and processed foods contain corn syrup high in fructose, a sugar substitute cheap that would be linked to obesity, according to a study at Yale. The study, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, showed that consumption of fructose does not calm the appetite "remains the desire to eat," said Robert Sherwin CTV, an endocrinologist at Yale University. Clearly, the consumption of corn syrup high fructose does that stimulate hunger, thus contributing to weight gain.


You eat too fast.

Chew your food well. This board reminds you he childhood memories? It turns out that your mother was right to insist that you eat slowly. "The eating quickly prevents your brain to interpret the satiety signal that sends your body," says Richard Béliveau, Chair in Prevention and Treatment of Cancer at the University of Quebec in Montreal and author of the book health by the pleasure of eating well. The result? You always have the feeling of hunger, when in reality, just give some time to your body so it can signal the brain that you are full.

You do not sleep enough.

"The regulation of sleep depends on the hormonal activity. In addition, when you are tired, you tend to eat unhealthy foods (fatty or sweet). In addition, lack of sleep increases the secretion of cortisol (a stress hormone), which has the effect of increasing fat storage in the body, "says Joey Shulman (Thornhill, Ontario), author of The last 15-A Weight Loss Breakthrough.

You resume your old habits.

It is easy to resume his old habits after completing a diet. If this is the case (you start to nibble at Spread generously, eat dessert every night, for example.), You are likely to regain lost weight.

You do not follow your plan weight loss during the weekends.

We tend to eat more during weekends than during the week. In fact, researchers

of Washington School of Medicine, St. Louis (Missouri), have shown that dieters lose weight during the week, but not during the weekend. So prepare healthy meals during the weekend and pay particular attention to portion sizes can help in this regard (especially in the restaurant).

A "freeloader" Japanese sushi assorted tray ...

Emblematic dish of Asian cuisine: sushi-maki (by their real name, the correct term

Reduce breast size naturally without surgery...

Have breasts too big or too fat chest can be annoying when you're a woman. Some people like to put their chest forward. Others are more discreet and prefer to hide or show little.
If you are slightly overweight, losing weight can reduce the size of your breasts. Depending on the number of pounds to lose can lose 1 to 3 sizes of cap.


Why diet to lose breast

The grease is spread over the whole body. It is present in a slightly larger amount in some places (for women on the hips, thighs, and upper arms). But if you are chubby or a little overweight, you have a thin layer of fat all over your body.

This layer of fat is also present on the breasts. Losing weight, we can do reduce the size of breasts. The number of cup sizes you can lose losing weight depends on the amount of weight you have to lose.

An obese woman can pass a F cup to a C cup While a slightly overweight woman will probably spend D to C, and in some cases D to B. This difference is explained by the amount of fat on the breasts it is possible to lose.

To reduce breast size, so we can start weight loss. Losing weight will reduce the size of the layer of fat, and breast volume decrease. The breasts lose volume quickly, and you will see a difference after losing only 2 pounds!


overall diet

The grease is spread over the whole body. There is no way to target weight loss on breast only. It's the same thing for the stomach, thighs or hips: you can not lose a single location on the body.

Have you ever seen an obese chocolate bar with a well designed? Or thin legs like sticks? This is because it is impossible. Diet breast must lose weight overall - on the whole body.

To lose weight quickly, there is no need to follow a strict diet. Change habits slowly enough to lose several pounds per month. It is also important to develop good eating habits to stabilize weight once lost pounds.

Do not change your entire diet overnight. Instead, remove one after the other your bad eating habits at a rate of 2 or 3 a week. Here are some examples of habits to change:

Reduce and eliminate the consumption of sweetened beverages (sodas, juices, alcohol)
Eat less carbs than usual (pasta / rice / bread)
Eat more vegetables, fruits and more
Eat more legumes, starchy instead
Eat more protein (up to 1 g per day per kg of body weight)
Drink more water
Stop refills
Reduce snacking
Take a hearty breakfast regularly
Do not all these changes overnight. Aim 2 changes per week, and save your motivation because you will keep these changes over the long term. You must change your habits, not just make a temporary change.

Be careful : first ask the advice of a nutritionist.

Foods to increase breast size naturally...

Many women dream of having a fuller bust, at least enough to reveal a nice curve. However, there are many who do not want to go under the knife, then how? To nutrition experts, the problem does not seem so complicated to solve...

The trick to having bigger breasts is a diet that includes foods with high levels of estrogen. This female sex hormone helps transform your body pretty girl child and then as a woman.

This is also what determines the beginning of your menstrual cycle, gives you feminine curves and makes your breasts grow. Why some women do not have a large chest that puberty is stopped too early, their breasts have not had time to fully develop.

At 16, puberty ends and estrogen levels drop drastically. The only natural way to make them volume is to eat foods rich in estrogen (especially of hytœstrogènes).

Among these include flaxseed, soybeans, tofu ... The natural estrogen-rich fruits include apples, cherries, dates, papayas, plums, pomegranates and tomatoes. Other foods are olive oil, baker's yeast, meat, licorice, anise, clover, dairy products, garlic, olives, red beans, rice, sage and sunflower seeds. By eating regularly (and without excess, because it can be dangerous!) These products, your breasts will grow one or two cups!

Pending a question we burn the lips: what is the soup and bread crusts? Say we were led to believe that this would help us to have a nice chest ... You talk, peanuts, yes!

Be careful : first ask the advice of a nutritionist, after the disaster that is dangling breasts.
