Are you wondering if it is possible to Lose 10-12 Kgs Fat in 1 Month? What if I told you the answer to this question is yes, and more importantly you can do it all without struggling through exercise, starving or dangerous diet pills. You will in fact lose 12 Kg easily in 1 month by doing nothing more than simply eating food!

Lose 20 Pounds By Just Eating!

This might sound too good to be true but consider this. When a person goes onto a low calorie diet how do they lose the weight? Through starvation! Now does this sound like a reasonable way to lose weight? The proper way to lose weight is to eat healthy, but were you aware that you can eat healthy, lose weight & also burn off additional fat? It’s completely true and for the first time ever the dieting method known as calorie shifting has now been brought into the public eye.

What’s Involved?

All you do is eat 4 full meals every day. You’re encouraged to eat as much as you want, so that you are never hungry still after a meal. What this does is tell your metabolism that it’s OK to begin burning calories because enough calories were consumed recently. More importantly though what calorie shifting does is change the calories consumed from day to day. When your calorie intake is consistently changing what this does is cause your body to become more sensitized to foods and reacting sooner by turning on the metabolic functions.

As you continue with the diet you soon find that the instant you eat you’re actually burning fat! Many times people actually continue to lose weight after they finish the diet for days to weeks to come!

Achieving weight loss has become the prime objective for many in this day and age. This is due to the fact that it is such a big cosmetic requirement as well as a health necessity these days. With a wide variety of proven weight loss diet programs to choose from, the main challenge that many are now faced with is retaining their weight loss results. Dietitians have always been vocal in reminding people that reaching their weight loss goal should not spell the end of their healthy diet. There will still be a need for them to continue with eating and living healthy if there is any hope of retaining the results from losing weight. The process involved with retaining ones weight loss results is what will be addressed below in this article.

Following through with a weight loss plan makes no sense if after losing the desired pounds — a person regains it equally as fast like an elastic band that has been released. There has to be a plan that is put in place that ensures that the lost weight does not return. For this reason, a person who has lost weight must pay continued attention to the total calorie intake, the frequency of meals consumed, and the overall nutritional balance in much the same way the focus was at the beginning of the weight loss plan.

That is why a regime of proper dieting should be continued immediately following weight loss, in order to preserve the results from the pounds shed. At this stage, the struggle of giving up certain foods or resisting the temptation to visit a favorite fast food joint would have already been placed under control. Once that battle between the mind and the body, or we can call it the struggle between indulgence and reason, has already been won, keeping up that necessary diet may not be difficult. This is because the body can be easily trained at this stage into getting accustom to the healthy long-term diet pattern which should follow.

The importance of continuing with a healthy diet plan immediately following weight loss can never be overemphasized. If at this stage a person reverts to eating those foods that were avoided while focusing on achieving weight loss — it will only be a matter of time before such an individual is brought back to square one. The results obtained from weight loss would then be neutralized by this. It would be like a former alcoholic picking up the bottle again. So, when setting a weight loss goal, weight maintenance should be as much a part of the goal as the amount of weight you are hoping to shed.

I have been reading a lot lately. I read books from three different stacks, depending on the type of mood I’m in. Because I’m an early-morning person, I like to read the heavier, more detailed nutritionally-inclined books first thing in the morning with my breakfast while my brain is fresh and able to take in new information. Later in the day while I’m on a break, I’ll pick up a book about world religions or micro-loans, both of which intrigue me greatly. By the end of the day, when I want to kick up my heels and relax, I’ll pick up an entertaining fiction novel, or if I have the energy, I’ll go back to something I read earlier in the day. I know there are reader types that have to stick to one book at a time and I’ve tried that, in an effort to start and finish one thing at a time. It never works out for me, because I end up not reading at all, especially if the book is full of a lot of factual details and I’m in a “quick read” kind of mood or place. I’ve tried taking books like Omnivore’s Dilemma on vacation with me and it never gets read–and it’s a wonderful book full of well-researched information. Perhaps a plane isn’t the best place to test out my theory, because I’ve tried and usually end up falling asleep to the pleasant monotony of the plane engines.

All this to say that I have been reading a lot of excellent, important books lately. Below are books having to do with nutrition:

What To Eat, Marion Nestle (still reading)
All I have to say is INCREDIBLE! If you eat and care at all about what you eat, this is a must read. Would make an incredible book club read.

Food Politics, Marion Nestle (still reading)
The answer is in the title. Get an idea of how the food and beverage industries operate and how consumers are often left in the dark. It may raise your blood pressure, as the truth sometimes does.

The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Michael Pollan (almost finished)
Amazing insight into our food industry, the history of our food (think corn!) and where our food comes from, to say the least. It’s an important book of our time.

In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto, Michael Pollan (have not started yet)

Mindless Eating, Brian Wansink (finished)
“In this illuminating and groundbreaking new book, food psychologist Brian Wansink shows why you may not realize how much you’re eating, what you’re eating–or why you’re even eating at all.” -amazon While reading this and munching on popcorn, I could not help but chuckle every time Wansink described someone and it basically described me!

The End of Overeating, David Kessler (haven’t started yet) (if you click the link, scroll down and watch the video of Kessler)

Eat, Drink and Be Healthy, Walter Willett (finished)
Interesting book comparing the political USDA pyramid with Willett’s own healthy eating pyramid, based on 40 years of research and science and accepted by Harvard’s School of Nutrition. It’s a fun, easy read and the more you read about food, the more common sense seems to play a major role in our food choices. An important book exposing why the USDA will not accept Willett’s science-based pyramid.

I not only recommend picking up these books (library, amazon or book store) but I highly recommend that you research and read about the authors. Each author has an interesting story that might inspire you–I can’t help but be inspired by these chamption nutrition advocates of our time. They may very well go down in history as the ones who changed the American food system for the better.

“Eat food, not too much, mostly plants,” says author and healthy food champion, Michael Pollan.

I came across an interesting article in the Vancouver Sun. It is full of reminders of what to eat, why and what is currently going on in the American food system. Much, if not all, is covered in the documentary, Food, Inc.

“The thing is, the big profits are made in cheap, easy, processed food. ‘It’s easier to slap a health claim on a box of sugary cereal than on a raw potato or carrot.’

Pollan is optimistic. ‘There’s a revolution going on and I’m very encouraged. The fastest growing segment [in the food sector] are farmers’ markets and organics. It’s important on the health level because there are no processed foods at farmers’ markets. Anything that gets people to cook more tends towards a healthier diet.’

I have a suggestion for a healthy, summer salad (see below). First, visit your local farmer’s market and buy the ingredients there. Make a date out of it or bring a friend or go yourself and mosey by the produce, flowers, herbs, homemade goods, fresh pastries, etc. Once in a while I will not know whether something is grown organically–I have to ask. Sometimes, even at farmer’s markets, people will be selling their produce but it will have been grown with pesticides. I have a hard time deciding sometimes if I should pass and buy organics that have been shipped, thus leaving a larger carbon footprint, or support my local farmer even if pesticides were used. It’s a tough choice when you have to choose the lesser of two evils! Personally, I like to support my local farmer and comment that I would pay more for organically grown produce in the future. I think with the industrialization of our food, it’s important to support and encourage local growers. Some may just need encouragement to begin growing organically.

Last summer I lived a few miles away from a little old man who posted a hand-painted sign at the entrance to his driveway: “Apples-25 cents a pound.” I stopped. His front yard was an apple orchard and smelled deliciously sweet. He had boxes of hand-picked green apples in this garage and gave me a bag to fill. I asked if they were organic.

“Noooo, I tried doing that once but they spoiled quickly. I don’t use harsh chemicals now but I do use some agents to help my apples.”

I was hesitant to buy any apples until I realized that even if these were not grown 100% optimally, he was doing something right. He was providing his community with delicious, green apples. I decided to buy some.

Most recently, I have been making tabouli (tabouleh) at least once a week. It is delicious, filling, refreshing and my husband will eat it! He prefers the meat and potatoes types of meals but for some reason, he can not get enough tabouleh. To a vegetarian cook, it feels like I’ve hit the jackpot!

Here is the simple recipe I use. I’ve heard all sorts of suggestions, but the latest is from my Lebanese friend. He suggested to add sumac, which is the prime ingredient in philo spinach wraps. Sumac makes my tabouleh very tart, and with lemon to add sour, there are many taste sensations that highlight our ability to taste.

Tabouleh
1 bunch curly parsley
1 bunch green onions
1 tomato
1 or two lemons
1/2 cup bulgar, 1/2 cup water
1/2-1 tablespoon sumac
pinch of mint, crushed and diced
1/4-1/2 cup olive oil, to taste

Soak the bulgar in 1/2 cup water for at least one hour. Wash and cut parsley as small as you can (or use food processor to chop). Slice green onions and dice tomatoes into tiny pieces. Throw in a bowl with the bulgar and add mint, sumac, and drizzle with olive oil. Squeeze lemons over the top, careful to catch any seeds that may pop up. Mix well and refrigerate. Goes great with toasted pita bread, especially to soak up the lemon juice/olive oil mix. It can be difficult to find sumac (international markets) and it is not a typical ingredient in tabouleh.

Enjoy!

*Parsley is one of nature’s internal deodrants. It is great for bad breath, especially.

Remember to “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants!”

In what might not be the most popular video I have ever done, I deal with the topic on why others have failed or not succeeded on the Atkins Diet. Some times you have to take accountability for your own actions, but my goal was to use these stories of past failed attempts of the Atkins Diets to prevent others from falling victim to the same thinking. Here is the top 7 reasons people fail: 1. Use it as a fad diet or quick weight loss, and then hop off the diet. 2. Never read the book / think …
