Eat This Not That Supermarket Survival Guide by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding

Posted under Articles and Reviews by on Thursday 29 July 2010 at 11:46 am

Read a excellent dieting info.

“Eat This Not That Supermarket Survival Guide” is David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding’s answer to shopping with their series of books on what they like to call “The No-Diet Weight Loss Solution.” What they did for eating out with their first book, the Restaurant Survival Guide, they now do for the supermarket. It is a very handy little book to assist you as your walk the aisles filling your shopping cart.

After a short introduction regarding food and what the book can do for you, Chapter one covers basic rules for your trip to the supermarket. Rules like working the edges and learning the lingo. This chapter includes 11 secrets the food industry doesn’t want you to know and the 20 worst packaged foods in America. The worst happens to be Marie Callender’s Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pot Pie.

Chapter two focuses on the produce aisle and how to supercharge your meals. Good little primer on fruits and vegetables. From there, we go to the meat and fish counters in chapter three. This is a short chapter to help you make sense of meat. Chapter four then covers the refrigerator. This is the first chapter that starts to divide foods into “eat this and not that” categories. For example, on the Deli Meats page, you find Hormel Natural Choice Carved Chicken Breast on the “eat this” page, and Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Grilled Chicken Breast Strips on the “not that” page. (Calories, fat, and sodium are all listed, and lower on the first choice) Some of the other categories in this chapter include hot dogs and sausage, cheese, and yogurt.

Chapter five is the chapter to review when it is time to stock your pantry staples. Categories include: grains, rice sides, dry noodles, bread loaves, breakfast breads and pastries, cereals, condiments, nut and seed butters, jellies, jams, preserves, pasta sauces and much more.

Sure, snacks and sweets are not top choices for anyone on a diet, but if you are going to eat them, chapter six will help you make smarter choices. Some good advice on snacks here, and then categories contrasting corn chips, potato chips, dips, pretzels, snack mixes, crackers, popcorn, cookies, and much more.

In the seventh chapter we get to the freezer section. Contrasted foods include ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, frozen pies, frozen pizza, meat substitutes, and other foods found in the frozen aisles.

Chapter eight covers drinks. Juice, smoothies, shakes, tea, milk, beer, and a few others are covered here. I know an entire book just came out on what to drink, so this chapter is just a teaser compared to what the book contains. This is still a good primer on what you are buying to drink.

The final chapter, nine, provides you with a guide to save money while shopping. It contains a couple of tips and then ten popular dishes that you can make at home to save money and calories. The book then concludes with a food additive glossary.

I really like this series of books. They are small, so you can carry with you, colorful so easy to read and use, and packed with information. Sure, not every single food you might find is covered, but enough are listed to make you a savvy shopper. By understanding the differences between the eat this foods and the not that foods, you will then be able to read labels and make healthier choices even when not found in this guide. Reading this book also provides a lot of good information about eating healthy, and after reading it you’ll be much better prepared to hit the supermarket and fill your cart with healthy selections.

Myths About Diet Products

Posted under Articles and Reviews by on Thursday 29 July 2010 at 8:29 am

Check out this awesome information.

People all want to look and feel their best. This is part of the allure of the diet products you see advertised online and on television.

The attraction to dieting can’t just be summed up in the notion that people want to be attractive. People also want to be in good health. When a person is overweight that can lead to a whole range of health effects that can be reversed by being in shape.

People can’t rely on just the myriad diet products to relieve their problems for them. Without work and dedication, no diet plan or program will succeed. But many people don’t even need a drastic solution to drop the pounds, they just need common-sense options.

I have three tricks that I have employed in the past, and that I share with others in the same boat as you. You can use these whether you are already dieting or not, and you will see results.

The first thing you can do is get rid of all the sugary and otherwise unhealthy drinks in your fridge. Ditch the soda and juices and get rid of the tea and coffee. Go all-water all the time.

Don’t be fooled by the claims of the diet drink companies either. Their products may be low in calories, but they are chock full of other nasty chemicals. And water is better than any of them any day.

The next tip is that you have to get into some habit of regular physical movement. That means exercise. Ever hear the phrase “no pain, no gain?” That is very true here. If you don’t burn off the calories your body has stored up, you will never manage to get rid of it.

The last tip I have for you is to buy organic. Organic foods are free of the harmful additives and chemicals found in all sorts of products. These things take up extra energy to process and many of them impede healthy development and will actually make it harder to lose weight.

Pullups Vs Chinups – Here’s the Difference

Posted under Articles and Reviews by on Thursday 29 July 2010 at 8:29 am

Read the awesome story.

Ever wonder what the difference was between pullups vs chinups? It’s a common question. Both of the exercises are performed by hanging from a bar and pulling your body up (either assisted with bands or unassisted) so that at least your chin goes above the bar. Then lower yourself back down to the starting position.

Both of these exercises are awesome in helping to build muscle and to increase your hand/grip strength. But there are definitely some differences between the two. Let’s break them down and see what the differences are.

The Pullup And Chinup Explained.

The difference between Pullups and Chinups is the grip. In pullups, the hands grip the bar so that the palms face away from your body. So if you look at your hands while doing pullups you will see the back of your hand and your knuckles. For Chinups the hands grip the bar so that the palms face to your body. If you look at your hands while doing chinups you will see the palm of your hand and your fingers.

Of the two, pullups are the more difficult to perform. The pullup is an awesome exercise to build up your back, and lats. It also helps to develop your grip strength and core all at the same time. The military especially likes to use pullups for testing and measuring the fitness of their enlisted.

Chinups are slightly easier to do than pullups because you use your biceps more. You’ll still work your back, lats, core and grip but get the added benefit of working the biceps all at the same time. The chinup is used in many general physical fitness tests as a measure of the overall strength a person. Though easier than pullups, chinups are still difficult for most people.

In your training, you should use both pullups and chinups. The grip differences will make you work different muscle groups. Try and work your back and biceps on the same day and alternate between pullups and chinups. If needed use a band or do them assisted by a machine until you can do them without help, then crank up the reps!

Variations of Pullups and Chinups.

There are many variations that you can do for pullups and chinups. Here are just a few to give you some ideas: kipping, butterfly, grip without thumb around bar, use parallel bars, use a thicker bar, hanging from a towel, mix your grip (one each way), close grip, wide grip, weighted (with a belt or a dumbbell between your legs), chest to bar, one arm and clapping (do a clap at the top!). These are just a few of many options that you have. Start with the basics and work up to more advanced as you get stronger.

How to Lower Body Fat Percentage – A Cardio Program That is Guaranteed to Work

Posted under Articles and Reviews by on Thursday 29 July 2010 at 8:29 am

Look at a cool womens weight loss information.

With today’s oversized population, a hot discussion topic in the media and in coffee shops is how to lower body fat percentage. Most of the information we get is just a recycling of the same dietary and exercise tips that we’ve heard too many times before.

I’m going to give you here an effective cardio program that is sure to decrease the amount of fat in your body. I’ll take you step by step through the program so it will be easy for you to understand and put into practice.

Step 1: Fast before you do your workout.

You can train in the morning before eating if that works for you, but you can also do it at other times. The important thing is that you don’t do your training when food is still circulating in your system. You should wait four or five hours after eating to do your training. It would also be good if the last meal you had before training was low in carbohydrates and calories. The reason for this is that if you do your training when you are empty, then your body will have to burn body fat during the workout because there will not be any sugars left in your body from your last meal.

Step 2: Do your weight lifting before you do your cardio exercises.

This way, if there are any sugars or energy from food left in your system, the weight lifting will burn them up before you get to the cardio. That will leave only fat for your body to burn for energy during your cardio workout. There won’t be any other energy source except body fat.

Step 3: Begin your cardio workout with ten to fifteen minutes of arduous interval cardio.

This intensive workout will release fatty acids into your bloodstream. Cardio that is slow will readily burn fatty acids, but it is not good at releasing them. The intense cardio workout will ensure that there are free fatty acids available to burn during the slower exercises. Interval cardio also continues to burn calories even after you have finished the workout. Slow cardio, on the other hand, doesn’t do that as well.

Step 4: After your interval cardio workout, then continue with slow and steady cardio exercises for twenty minutes.

Since you have fasted for a few hours and have released fatty acids from your body fat cells, conditions are ideal for burning body fat. So now you can walk at a moderate rate, and you will be losing body fat every step of the way. Exercise for twenty minutes at a minimum, but longer is better if you have time. Use this time well to burn away a significant mass of body fat.

This cardio strategy is designed to give you those coveted six-pack abs.

It will help you to get rid of that obstinate body fat that resists normal dieting and exercise regimens. This is the best program I have found to actually lower the body’s fat percentage. It’s a tremendous help for anyone who wants that lean, ripped look and is willing to work for it.
