| AVOIDING UNHEALTHY CARBOHYDRATES |
|
Will banishing carbohydrate-rich foods like bread, potatoes and pasta help you to lose weight - and keep it off? Proponents of low-carb diets think so, and encourage people to replace all carbs with animal protein and fat. However, we at Saylor Medical do not agree - and neither does common sense. Low-carb diets do not address the real issue when it comes to a healthy body: the quality of the carbohydrates you choose should be the main focus. Carbohydrates are an essential part of a balanced, healthful diet and are the creators of the energy the body runs on. Instead of giving up carbs, learn more about which carbs are good choices - and which ones you should keep to a minimum.
More-refined carbohydrates. Rapidly converted into blood sugar, refined carbs cause corresponding rises and falls in insulin levels, which can lead to overeating, weight gain and insulin resistance. Common examples include:
Flour
Sugar
Sweetened dairy products - dairy contains a lot of sugar.
Most snack foods and baked goods
Processed grains, crackers, rice cakes, most breads
Soft drinks
High fructose corn syrup
Think of refined carbohydrates as processed foods, and eat them sparingly. You body and waistline will thank you. |
| FIVE SIMPLE WEIGHT LOSS TIPS |
|
We all know the "secret" of successful weight loss: Eat less and exercise more. It's not always easy, but by adopting healthy eating habits and a regular exercise routine, you are sure to lose weight without depriving yourself of nourishing, satisfying food. And if you continue those good habits after you reach your goal, you will have an excellent chance of maintaining your desired weight. Here are some tips for successful weight loss
- Avoid artificial sweeteners and synthetic fat substitutes. They are unhealthy and not conducive to the development of good eating habits.
- Dietary supplements or "fat-burning herbs" are usually just stimulants - don't rely on them alone. They should only be used as part of a complete plan. If not, the pounds will surely return once you've stopped taking them.
- Build lean body mass. Strength training burns excess calories and influences the way your brain regulates hunger, making you less susceptible to food cravings.
- Pay attention to the mental and spiritual aspects of weight control. Use relaxation exercises - instead of food - to combat anxiety.
- Accept your body. You may see it as less than perfect, but it is beautiful just the same.

| IRREGULAR EATING AFFECTS HEALTH RISKS |
|
Irregular eating - and not just the kind of foods you consume - can affect your risk of metabolic syndrome, which in turn can lead to diabetes and heart disease.
Having three of the following abnormalities can indicate metabolic syndrome: high blood pressure, low HDL ("good") cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood sugar and abdominal obesity.
The surprising finding about irregular eating came from researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institutet after a survey, medical examinations and lab tests of 3,607 men and women in their sixties. Those participants who reported that they rarely ate a regular meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner - were, on average, more likely to have bigger waists and higher cholesterol and triglyceride levels than people who ate more regularly. The irregular eaters also tended to have more signs of insulin resistance, believed to be an underlying cause of metabolic syndrome.
The researchers concluded that medical advice on eating regular meals might be worthwhile for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome.
The study was published in the June 2008 issue of Obesity.
Lesson of the study - Eat at regular times each day for a minimum of three meals. Eating small amounts every five hours is better. |
