Ten Secrets You Should Know About The Atkins Diet
August 14, 2010 by admin
Filed under Vegetarian Diet Tips
One of the cornerstones of the Atkins diet is that people previously believed that if you wanted to get thinner all you had to do was eat less or reduce calories. As it turns out, according to the Atkins diet you can eat only 20 grams of carbs per day, but you are allowed to eat plenty of red meat, fish, eggs, cream, and butter. This is quite a contrast to what most people believe about dieting.
Of course the long-term data is still out on this question and many people are concerned about the long-term risks of following the Atkins diet.
The diet is based upon the fact that it is the way your body processes the carbohydrates you eat not how much stout you eat is what causes you to gain weight. The principle behind the Atkins diet is that weight loss is quicker because stout burns more calories than carbohydrates do.
Of course there are still supplements diet plans and other programs and also support that dieters can turn to to help manage their eating habits and their weight loss progress. The Atkins diet holds that people who are overweight are eating too many carbohydrates and by reducing carbohydrates that our bodies will burn the stout more effectively.
You see Dr. Atkins knew that the human body uses two types of fuel to sustain life. The first is glucose from carbohydrates. The second, ketones from stout. So basically by limiting your carbs, you force your body into breaking down the stored stout, which is what you really need to do to lose weight.
There are of course many detractors of the Atkins diet. For example there are some reports from the UK that people on the Atkins diet simply don’t feel like eating anymore. Others say that the weight loss from an Atkins diet isn’t that much different than other diets that rely on the low-stout or vegetarian diets.
Another concern is that if you lose weight too quickly because of ingesting too few calories, your body will go into a so-called starvation mode and your weight loss will either slow down or stop completely because of a change in your metabolism.
Still another concern of the detractors of the Atkins diet is that some of the foods that are restricted on a low carbohydrate diet are the same types of food that decrease inflammation for example fruits and vegetables. Also foods high in saturated fats such as butter tend to increase the body’s production of inflammatory chemicals. Some believe that replacing carbohydrates with foods that are high in saturated fats also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
But that’s just the point. The Atkins diet does not suggest or promote the ingestion of extremely unhealthy and fatty foods without moderation. Anything overdone can have unhealthy side effects.
Hundreds of thousands of people have loved permanent weight loss reduction using the Atkins diet method. Give it a try yourself and see if it isn’t right for you.

Celebrity Diet Secrets – The Main Celebrity Diet Secret You May Not Know About
August 8, 2010 by admin
Filed under Vegetarian Diet Tips
We see them on magazine covers, in movies, on TV. Their images shimmer and glow.
With their size 0 bodies and cellulite free legs we wonder – how do they do it? What do they know that the rest of us don’t?
Many magazines boast that they reveal celebrity diet secrets. But we’ve heard a lot of it before.
Jennifer Aniston likes the Zone. Gwyneth Paltrow favors a macrobiotic diet.
Carol Alt likes the raw food diet. Carrie Underwood follows a vegetarian diet. And much of the celebrity diet tips are common sense.
Don’t eat after 7 p.m. Have 5-6 small meals a day. Don’t load up on carbs for dinner.
Get plenty of sleep. Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. And of course: Cardio, cardio, cardio.
But there is one celebrity diet secret no one usually talks about.
Here’s the thing that sets celebrities apart. Unlike most people – celebrities are a brand. It’s their job to look excellent.
And they can’t build the brand all by themselves. They know their time is precious and they can’t do it all on their own.
So they hire experts in their fields to help them build their brand. They have people to do their hair, makeup artists to do their makeup, publicists to advertise them and stylists to dress them.
And when it comes to food, most stars hires experts to cook for them also. Sometimes it’s a personal chef – but other times it’s a diet delivery service.
This delivery service prepares their food for them and then all they do is eat it. Having their food prepared for them helps them to stay their svelte, gorgeous selves.
Are they on to something? Probably.
In fact, in a recent study done by Brown University, people attempting to lose weight by eating prepared meals lost an average of 31% more weight than those who prepared their own meals. Having help makes losing weight simpler (and sometimes even quicker) than if you do it on your own.
Diet delivery is now catching on to the mainstream in a huge way. People are realizing how much simpler it is to lose weight by having your meals prepared for you.
And it’s much more affordable than it used to be – with most plans under $20 a day. This is really less than many people are already spending on food so it could even save you money.
And the variety of meal plans to choose from is growing. You can get low stout plans, low carb plans, Zone-compliant meals, vegetarian meals and even gourmet, restaurant quality meals.
So the main celebrity diet secret that most people don’t talk about is that celebrities have help. They hire experts to help them stay slim and eat well. And it’s obviously working.
The excellent news is that anyone can now afford to get that same expert help and lose weight just the like the stars do – with diet home delivery. There are several diet delivery services that not only serve the stars – but they also offer their services to the general public.
So if you’re looking for an simpler way to lose weight – why not do the same things celebrities do? Get your meals prepared for you. It’s simpler, will save you time and can make losing weight a lot more enjoyable.

Vegan Diet Secrets: Protein Myths
July 29, 2010 by admin
Filed under Vegetarian Diet Tips
When you want to become a vegetarian the most vital question you may question yourself or your health care specialist is “How about proteins? How am I gonna get enough proteins? I’ve heard that a vegetarian diet doesn’t include enough proteins. Is that right?”.
I know proteins are considered the number one ingredient in our diet. A lot of people believe that meat is the major protein source and protein from meat, fish or eggs is by far superior to protein coming from other sources. Now, let’s look at the reality and the facts, for a change.
It is not right that protein from meat, fish, milk or eggs is superior to protein from plant sources. Thousands of health studies tell a different tale. And here are the facts:
Protein Fact #1: Protein coming from meat, fish or eggs is by no means superior to protein from plant sources. They are the same. In fact protein from plants could be considered healthier since plants contain no fats or toxic residues.
Protein Fact #2: A vegetarian diet with balanced parts of proteins, minerals, fats and carbohydrates will protect you and provide enough protein for your body to work effectively.
Protein Fact #3: You need to have a balanced diet. Too much protein is as terrible as too small protein. Too much protein increases the risk for serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes or stomach problems. On the other hand, a complete vegetarian and vegan diet are proved to be remarkably successful in the treatment of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure and more.
In other words it’s honestly simple for a vegetarian to cover protein needs. Nearly every kind of vegetables, grains, nuts or seeds contain proteins. The key is to have a balanced diet and consume all kinds of food. Combine vegetables with fruits and nuts and you’ll have no difficulty getting enough protein. Just make sure you also get enough calories to maintain your weight status.
Scientists recommend that adults should consume at least 50-80 grams of protein each day. Here are some vegan foods that contain more than enough protein to meet your needs. You can make all kinds of combinations using the following food-list:
- Beans
- Black eyed peas
- Veggie burger
- Soy milk
- Chickpeas
- Bagel
- Peanut butter
- Spaghetti
- Spinach
- Soy yogurt
- Sunflower seeds
- Walnuts
- Almonds
- Cashews
- Rice
- Potatoes
I have no thought why protein has been so misrepresented. Even health care professionals will tell you that protein is the queen of a healthy nutrition. Researches show that today, the average adult receives 7 times more protein than is needed.
Once again, money and the struggle for wealth are responsible for this misunderstanding. Factory farms, modern meat processing industries and refrigeration made meat available to everybody. And what are the results? Health problems, world hunger, environmental issues and more problems deriving directly from the industrialization of our diets.
Our world and our societies would be much healthier and kinder if only we had adopted green diets or a balanced combination of “Green Foods”, meat and dairy products. If only we could realize that meat and protein is not as significant as it is considered to be.

Vegetarian Men: Should You Beware the Secrets of Soy They?re Not Telling You?
July 26, 2010 by admin
Filed under Vegetarian Diet Tips
Soy and soy products have come under more and more close inspection in the news lately. If you’ve taken a look, and if you’re a vegetarian or are investigating the vegetarian eating style, you’ve likely seen that the news isn’t all excellent. Men, especially have cause for concern, due to the high plant-estrogen content of the soy bean and plant. Before reaching for another block of tofu, or taking a closer look at the vegetarian diet, you’ve got to read this!
First of all, why is this especially a MENS issue?
Everyone has a small bit of both types of hormones: Testosterone and Estrogen. They play vital roles in the body’s many functions. Men have more testosterone than estrogen…and they don’t need any more than the body already produces. Declining testosterone production in older age men causes health problems, as the testosterone/estrogen balance is then upset. Testosterone levels in boys are also vital for proper development and bone health. Adding in extra estrogen to the mix isn’t a excellent thought at any stage.
So what’s the problem with soy?
It has high levels of “plant estrogens”. Plant estrogens are hormones the plant uses for its daily function. They’re not the same as the ones found in humans, and if consumed, are 1,000 times LESS effective as human hormones. They are sometimes called phytoestrogens or lignans.
But as a vegetarian, or anyone trying to adopt a healthy eating pattern, soy and soy products play a huge role. Don’t want nasty bovine hormones? Drink soy milk. Don’t want to hurt animals by eating meat? Get protein from tofu blocks/ tofu dogs/tofurkey and countless other sources of Soy products.
It may be less effective than human estrogen, but all those small bits add up when you’re using soy and other phytoestogen rich plants as your protein source. These may be ok for women, especially anyone having menopause, but males don’t need any extra estrogen. You might see a lot of studies done in the news saying things like “too much soy reduces sperm count” and “over-eating of soy products leads to earlier memory-loss in men in Indonesia” (Indonesia consumes a lot of soy as part of the traditional diet) While the FDA hasn’t ruled on anything yet, this “Terrible Buzz” is enough to scare some people away, and make others reckon twice.
Unfortunately, this fact (and the fact that not everyone is going to like tofu, no matter who they are) scares people away from even trying the vegetarian diet. This no longer has to be the case! A recent discovery makes it much simpler (and more tasty) to get the protein you need, without ANY soy or soy-based product.
The answer is the Chia Seed.
This seed is unique among seeds for many reasons, all of which are beneficial to you! First off, by weight, the chia seed is 23% complete protein. Complete protein is hard to come by in the plant world, and most people get their daily amount from animal meat. Vegetarians routinely mix together incomplete protein food sources in order to meet healthy diet needs. The Chia seed’s protein level makes it a valuable dietary addition for vegetarians.
This tiny seed has other wonderful benefits that can especially be taken advantage of by men. They don’t have plant estrogens to mess with the hormone balance that keeps you healthy. They don’t require you to learn how to cook with tofu (and make it taste excellent—a real feat!) They don’t require lots of preparation time or know-how in the kitchen. You don’t have to change your eating habits. Basically, if you have a measuring spoon or scoop, you can use chia—whether you’re a vegetarian or not!
Things you should know about this tiny miracle seed:
First:
Chia has no flavor of its own. You’re not fighting to cover up a taste you don’t want. Instead, the seeds distribute the flavor of food or beverages you add them to. A food with really customizable flavor is a food that’s really simple to use. Sweet or savory, in a recipe or just sprinkled on top, Chia seeds go to work distributing the flavor straight away.
Second:
There are so many ways to use it. Tofu claims to be versatile, but can you use it to cut out half the stout of a tasty brownie and have it taste exactly the same? No way! But Chia Seeds can.
Fact:
Chia Gel can replace up to half of the butter or oil in any recipe without altering the flavor or the cooking method.
Another thing you can’t do with tofu, is to sprinkle it over any food you already like to eat, to get your daily recommended amount. Any food that is moist enough to prevent the seeds from bouncing off the surface can be used. This includes pizza, yogurt, ice cream, soup, sandwiches, cereal and any drink. The flavorless seeds won’t interrupt your eating enjoyment.
Third:
Chia Seeds are loaded with bonus benefits. Want to feel full at meal time without eating as much food? The fiber and gelling action of the seed keeps you feeling full longer, and replaces calories you’d normally eat with water. Want better regularity? Chia is packed with soluble and insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber acts as a ‘sweeper’ in the intestine, keeping food moving along. Soluble fiber irrigates the bowels making digestion simpler so the intestines don’t have to work as hard to go food. Enough fiber in your diet also helps reduce the risk of colon cancer.
Fourth:
Every seed is packed with nutrition: a full range of B vitamins, more calcium by weight than milk, healthy omega-3 oils, anti-oxidants, and vital trace-minerals such as boron.
There’s no need to “dread the tofu” if you’re looking to make the healthy choice of a vegetarian diet. If you are already a vegetarian, all the anti-soy hype in the news won’t bother you, when you have Chia Seeds in the house. Whatever conclusion the scientific studies come to, with regards to plant-estrogens, you’ll know you’re safe with chia seeds. Don’t wait another day to try this nutrition revolution!

Vegetarian Diet Secrets: Vegan Foods Reduce Risk of Heart Disease
July 2, 2010 by admin
Filed under Vegetarian Diet Tips
The major source of heart disease is cholesterol circulating in the blood stream. Scientists agree that the levels of cholesterol should stay balanced in order to avoid serious health conditions, like heart attacks or blood pressure problems. If you suffer from heart disease your doctor will prescribe all sorts of chemical medication to reduce cholesterol.
Now scientists have come up to the conclusion that eating vegan foods like vegetables, seeds, nuts and other “Green Foods” may be as effective at reducing cholesterol as medicines. Experiments involving different types of vegan foods proved that a balanced vegan diet with vegetables, soy products, bread, fruits and nuts could be a possible drug-free alternative to reduce cholesterol and protect your body against heart threats.
What is really vital when implementing this diet is to combine all sorts of food. Researches proved that a combination of vegan foods can cut cholesterol by up to three times more than when you insist on eating a single vegan food (e.g. only vegetables and soy products).
Here’s the diet I recommend for a typical weekday.
- In the morning consume soy milk, cereals, fruits and nuts. You can also eat some bread with vegan butter and honey.
- For lunch you can have a vegetable soup with lots of bread and fruits for dessert.
- For dinner you can have a fruit salad or a vegetable salad combined with nuts like almonds or walnuts.
A similar diet was adopted by a dozen of people during experiments done by Canadian scientists. The results were incredible. Their cholesterol levels had dropped by nearly 30% in just a few months. This combined diet could be as effective as medication according to the researchers.
Even though a lot more experiments and research are needed before the diet could be recommended to people, one thing is certain. There is hope for a natural treatment that doesn’r involve chemicals, for people with heart disease or high cholesterol.

Vegan – Vegetarian Soup Secrets
June 6, 2010 by admin
Filed under vegetarian soups recipe
Itâ??s really quite incredible the incredible rich, nutritious and tasty soup and broth that can be made with only vegetable ingredients. In fact it makes my mouth water and my nose crinkle just thinking about a pot oâ??soup simmering away on the stove, filling the house with its warm, rich aroma.
One of the best ways to start a veggie stock is with a small oil – some of my favorite oils to use for soup are: olive, coconut and toasted sesame. Sauté over low gentle heat 2-3 tablespoons oil with several of the following chopped herbs and veggies:
Purple, red, yellow or white onion Sweet onion shallots leeks Scallions, chives, garlic chives Garlic, purple garlic, elephant garlic Ginger Peppers â?? sweet, green, red, yellow, orange Hot chili peppers or jalapenos Celery Grated carrots Washed chopped parsley Cilantro or Parsley
Start right in your soup pot; sauté this mixture, made with what you have on hand, till lightly golden and smelling irresistible – if you want to get really exciting add a few tablespoons of wine â?? red or white.
Then fill up this soup pot with a excellent amount of water â?? 2 quarts or so. Donâ??t try to turn soup into an exact science â?? it is a creative process; use what you have on hand and make it taste awesome.
Next go wild with whatever herbs and spices you have, hopefully fresh out of the perennial garden â?? if not, dried herbs will do â?? donâ??t hold back, use your taste and intuitive sense to make a fantastic original blend to compliment the ingredients of grains, beans and veggies you intend to add.
As you might one day find through experience â?? it doesnâ??t take much grain to fill a soup pot with hearty stock â?? maybe ½ cup or so depending on the grain. Once beans have been soaked, they are more digestible with less cooking time â?? providing a hearty filling nourishing balanced soup.
Simmer till all ingredients are tender, tastes melded, and voilÃ¥, invite Small Red Riding Hood, Grandma and Goldilocks and the Three Bears to dinner â?? oops – where are the crackers?
Why Become Vegan or Vegetarian?
Simple diet is best; for many dishes bring many diseases: and rich sauces are worse than heaping several meats upon each other. – Pliny
Tale has it that once upon a time in the long ago there was an ice age over much of Planet Earthâ?¦small settlements of nomadic humans managed to survive when there was no vegetation to eat by killing other animals and consuming their flesh. This was a far weep from the â??gardenâ? before the ice age, where they could pick all kinds of fruits, vegetables and seeds.
After many long years when the small groups of humans had nearly forgotten what it was like to have plant foods for their survival; they were able to make settlements where deep alluvial soil had settled, and amazingly rich plant life started to grow.
These spots were so wonderful, they became brilliant gardeners and fed their flocks along with themselves, as they nearly started to forget the days when all they had was meat for survivalâ?¦anywayâ?¦so tale has itâ?¦
