Right Way Of Nutrition To Lose Excess Weight

I think those who visit this site already seriously think about their health and want to change their appearance for the better. And you understand already that it highly depends from your way of nutrition.

Simple limitation of foodstuffs you like will not help for a long time. Nobody can follow this diet long enough. after some time you become tired from all dietetic foodstuffs. You will want something not dietetic but tasty. You will not want to look at apples, curd, boiled meat. And here you may break your weight loss program for day, two days and even for several weeks.

May be the right thing to do is mono diet? This is kind of diet that is based on one foodstuff. For example on Monday you eat only apples, on Tuesday only kefir/yoghurt, on Wednesday only curd and so on. I think you will be tired from that kind of diet even sooner than if you would follow the low-calorie or low-carb diets. In case of mono diet it is harder to resist natural organism reaction to get something tasty.

Real-world example: Kefir/yoghurt is the foodstuff you like! You think if you like it there will be no problem to have three days of mono diet based on kefir/yoghurt. First day was gone almost easy. Next day you think that kefir is not as tasty as it was. You think that sausage would be much better. In the evening you feel yourself unhappy. You see sweet-shop in your night dreams. In the morning you make rush to the fridge. The mono diet is ended.

So, why we break weight loss program in one ill-fated moment. Why hunger overcomes us?

Sometimes it occurs when stomach is not really empty after some lunch or dinner. Then why?

The answer is in this case you feel hunger as a result of changing sugar level in your blood.

How strange is it! - you may think. But I did not have sugar even in my tea. I ate only two small sweets!

As a matter of facts not sugar but glucose level raises in blood that provokes hunger feelings. We get it eating some foodstuffs reach with carbohydrates. Even a small sweet may provoke strong hunger feeling.

Conclusion: Not to feel strong hunger you must limit carbohydrates consumption. You must not refuse from them completely cause they are in many fruits and vegetables reach with vitamins and cellulose we need. You must limit only high-carb foodstuffs such as sugar, flour, potatoes.

Wonderful! All problems solved! You have next day nice soup from cauliflower. But to the end of the day you feel that you need something. At least small peace of bread. The second day you do not want cauliflower at all and feel yourself flat-out.

Conclusion: simply to limit carbohydrates is not the way. Not to feel yourself flat-out you need protein. We move, our muscles work and need protein!

Well! We get chicken broth with cauliflower and not fat yoghurt. But hunger feeling remains!

What is the reason? The problem is that without sufficient supply of carbohydrates and fats protein can transform in glucose too! That is the reason of hunger!

What to do then?

Did you notice that small piece of ham can satisfy our hunger for a long time? From the other hand ham contains fat. How to grow thin with fat?

And here is the point. Fat can not transform into excess weight. Fat can not transform in glucose that can add you excess weight.

But why? Look here. During digestion fat dissociates on fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies are the second resource of energy for us after glucose. Ketone bodies supply our hair, skin and nails with vitamins. You must know that excess glucose transforms in excess weight but excess ketone bodies never can do that. Excess ketone bodies simply go out from your organism.

Conclusion: Fats MUST be in our nutrition. We need them to look good. To digest a peace of pork you must spend many calories. So calories you received with this peace of pork will burn themselves.

And what we must limit without doubts is carbohydrates. Peace of ham will not make any harm to our weight loss process. But if you eat after that a piece of cake or a pastry it is another story. Excess carbohydrates will slow down splitting of fats and fats will be deposited in blood vessels. Do you need it? I do not think so.

Be healthy,

The Myth of the Mainstream

'Mainstream' - a principal current of a river, 1667, from main (adj.) + stream, hence, "prevailing direction in opinion, popular taste, etc.," a fig. use first attested in Carlyle (1831).

I propose that the concept of 'the mainstream', be it music, art, ideas, politics, entertainment and all other social constructs, is and has always been a social myth.

The key to this argument lies in the cyclical nature of the market economy, political thought, and technological advancement. For sake of simplicity, I shall concentrate solely on the development and eventual disintegration of the concept of the 'mainstream'.

What came before the MP3? The CD.

And before that? vinyl.

And before that? Shellac and wax drums for musical boxes.

And before that? sheet Music. Musical Scores.

As funny as it sounds now, at the very dawn of 'Popular Music' or pop, a 'Hit' technically accounted for the total sales of a sheet of music, a musical score. The expectation and reality of the market was solely reliant on availability of current technologies at the time (namely music boxes and pianos) and the musical ability of the consumer.

For the main part it was more economic to purchase an upright piano rather than a the musical box, purchasing songs for a music box was a privilege of the rich. Imagine paying $500 for an mp3 track? No one in their right mind would, yet the physical nature of such devices meant that supplying a range of music for any device would be beyond the reach of the masses. The 'Player Piano' moved things along somewhat, creating rolls of punch paper reduced the costs considerably. For many this was new technology was still out of reach of the average, or even middle income family.

For most, instead of an Ipod, there would stand, pride of place in the Sitting Room or Parlour, a basic upright piano, of which at least one member would be able to read and play music, and the others would at the very least need to hold a whole gamut of decent notes to make the performance painlessly entertaining. The more savvy music publishers (yes they were printers and nothing more), realized early on that if they wanted to increase their sales they'd need to expand their market.

A few seemingly harmless pointers to publishing a popular 'hit' led to a series of hard and fast rules that held back the creative growth of the music industry for over a century.

family friendly. Their market was the Middle-Class family, they had money, Sunday Evenings with little to do, a strong moral and religious upbringing and a very definite idea of what music should do.

It shouldn't offend, anyone, anywhere, anyhow. It cannot include any mention of any controversy. The melody must be light, instantly engaging and simple to follow. The whole family must be able to join in and not feel awkward or embarrassed in anyway. Basically hymns.

The market began to fracture eventually, songs for the kids, religious, risque ditties for young lovers and dirty old men, then came style... jazz, blues, big band. Finally wax rolls for musical boxes gave way to shellac and eventually vinyl discs and as the sound quality improved, and the availability increased and prices reduced, finally those that played the piano instead of a Gramophone, were the rare exception.

The world has changed a lot since then, but as with all things fashion has a funny habit of repeating itself. More and more iPod fans and mp3 addicts are beginning to manipulate their own collections, with the development of a whole series of cheap and cheerful music mixing software releases on the way, it doesn't seem so far-fetched to imagine a time in the not so distant future where rather than the 'Mainstream' we will be talking in terms of Single Streams, or even the 'Onestream'.

In the past the more forward thinking printers and publishers of the day decided to buy music from songwriters for a pittance, sometimes even steal them outright and make all the profit for themselves. Now things are changing beyond belief.

Anyone can make music to a point with the aid of software and electronic instruments that a child could learn and play within minutes. With the increased interactivity involved in many of the new technologies, the PC being the original focal point, most consumers are no longer purely consuming, they are now producing. Be it their own Tivo TV schedule, the play list on their iPod, the answer phone message they recorded themselves. Consumption was never a creative act, but finally it seems technology is enabling individuals to come to that conclusion by themselves.

Eventually few people will purchase entertainment in any form, simply the means to produce it. As part of my Fine Arts Degree many years ago, I specialized in Photo Montage, appropriating and aggregating a variety of disparate images, and manipulating and combining them to form a new and original work. Nowadays few would ever consider going through the rigmarole of cutting and pasting printed matter when a graphics program and the internet can provide vast more choice in subject matter and imagery.

Technology has led our actions, or rather inaction for most of the 20th Century, in the 21st we are witnessing the slow decay of Consumerism itself, and at the beginning the first change we are all both witnessing and providing, is technological manipulation of consumer goods.

As the manufacturers of multimedia devices finally catch up with demand we will witness more and more graphic and sound interactivity to the point that most products will simply enable us to create our own entertainment, as we have in histories past. The only difference is that your Bedroom DJ Mix is now heard by the world rather than an unwilling friend or family member. Local heroes and heroines will be born, down the road from my place are the band Keane, a very successful UK pop band from Battle, Sussex. without the proliferation of social networking technologies I doubt that their meteoric rise to fame would have been as startling.

Other more stark examples are Gnarls Berkley and the Arctic Monkeys, who via the Myspace.com service have become major players in the world music scene. This isn't simply a technological change. The 'Futurism' Arts Movement at the turn of the last century was obsessed with painting fast cars and trains and planes, as much as a young boy might do these days. No one wants to draw an MP3 player, no one wants to write a poem about their Xbox. People want to 'use' them, and they do, all of them.

The idea that materialism can enable anything other than a show of wealth has changed, we no longer have toys, we have tools. Consumption is now lured by the idea of Production, the snake is eating itself.

Within your lifetime, your or someone you know will produce something remarkable, the miraculous is about to become commonplace and the 'Mainstream, obsolete.

The mainstream is diverging into a billion tributaries, the concept of popularity, and eventually mass advertising will dry up, along with monolithic centralized institutions and corporations. We as individuals are finally learning to disagree with each other, we are taking informed and personal choices in our consumption, and eventually the production of our own 'streams'. We fish for ideas, we take those ideas and create our own unique range of arts, entertainment and individual understanding of the world. And when we're bored with our own minds, we trade our goods with others, some like-minded, some not so.

Music, Art, Entertainment, conceived, designed and produced by the individual for the individual. Very much the way we began. Travelling Minstrels, visiting one village and the next, trading music, trading styles, ideas, even new technologies, but for the main part from home.

There never was a mainstream, the concept of the mainstream was conceived for the convenience of unwieldy organizations with little ability or even impetus to change. Like a vast dam, blocking and filtering the river, it is now beginning to crumble, and creative sources and flowing in from all directions, a veritable waterfall of new ideas, sounds and images are about to be born.

Cardio to help shed fat

It has been clinically proven that cardio exercise is your one and only ticket to effective and quick fat loss. Cardio exercises involve any form of exercise that raises heart rate to higher levels. Especially when it comes to fat loss goals, the higher the intensity, the greater the chances of your slimming down quicker!

Why high intensity cardio is so great

There are many reasons why cardio helps shed weight fast:

- high intensity cardio rapidly raises your metabolic rate

- This increased metabolic rate remains at the same rate even after exercise

- Increases lean muscle mass which contributes to increased resting metabolic levels

- Other benefits include:

- Greater lung strength

- Strengthens your heart

- Improves blood circulation.

Timing and its impact

The best time of the day for any cardio exercise is early in the morning, before you've had any breakfast. This is because in the morning hours, muscle and liver glycogen levels are really low. This means that with lower blood sugar levels, your chances at burning fat at this time is much more than later in the day.

Top 5 cardio exercises to shed fat

If you think a 30 minute morning walk at moderate pace will help, then you're wrong. While it certainly will help you lose more calories over a period of time, if you're looking for fat loss you need something extra!

1.Jump rope: On an average if you jump rope for 15 minutes you burn 174 calories!

2.Swimming: The forward crawl stroke seems to burn fat the best and its also non-impact.

3.Sprinting: It will burn tons of calories, beats fat like none other and reduces stress and tension in the body.

4.Step aerobics: Burns a whopping 400 calories in a 30 minute time span

5.Cycling: It exhausts carbohydrate reserves in the body resulting in enhanced metabolic rates.
