According to Jillian Michaels - To naturally get rid of excess water weight quickly

= Limit your salt or sodium intake to only 1500mg a day so you won't retain any fluid (water weight) and for an extra weight loss boost...

= Lower your salt intake to 500mg for only a few days (usually no longer than 2 days) to shed those water pounds quickly and...

= The main high sodium foods to avoid are: canned, frozen, processed, & packaged foods and...

= Drink 2 liters of distilled water each day to flush out the excess water weight you're carrying around now - Distilled water is basically PURE water with no salt or minerals in it.

Jillian Michaels diet tips for losing your last ten pounds in less than 30 days...

Don't skip meals (especially breakfast) and eat every 4 hours.

Eating 4 times a day maximizes your energy and stabilizes your blood sugar so you'll never get hungry and so your metabolism will be much higher making you burn more fat faster.

Remember: losing your last 10 pounds is harder than losing your first 100 (go here to see why) so you have to eat foods that'll optimize your metabolism like high fiber foods, low fat foods, and lean proteins.

Pump Up Your Metabolism

Q: I've tried every diet under the sun in my life, and I'm really afraid I've ruined my metabolism. I seem to gain weight no matter what I eat now! Is there any way to fix this?

A:
This is such a good question — I'm so glad you asked! Many people suffer from the backlash that can result from years of yo-yo diets. What happens is this: When people let their calorie levels drop too low, their body's survival mechanism kicks in, lowering their metabolic set point (or basal metabolic rate). When they go off that crash diet and begin to eat normally again, they gain back any weight lost — plus. And what follows that? Yup, another crash diet.


The cycle is often very frustrating, but it CAN be reversed with time, consistency, and patience. What you'll need to do is the exact opposite of what we call shocking the metabolism; you have to allow your body time to adapt to a new metabolic set point — by being consistent, you'll force your body to adapt.

Now, here's the other part of the equation: The absolute best way to pump up your metabolism is to EXERCISE. You'll be burning calories not only during your workout but also up to 48 hours after — all the while increasing lean muscle tissue, which speeds the metabolism over the long term. Aim for five hours of exercise a week if possible, but no fewer than three hours a week.

Get Back Into Your Skinny Clothes!

Are you holding on to clothes that haven't fit in months or even years? Well, you might want to hold on to them just a little bit longer. Use them as motivation! And don't let anyone sabotage your efforts with their negativity. This is YOUR descision to get healthy. Here's what one teammate says about being inspired to fit back into her skinny jeans and ignoring her mother-in-law's efforts to keep her from adopting new habits.

My mother in-law lives with us and she came out today and saw me watching a TV program while doing a low-impact aerobic workout at the same time. She stood there and looked at me with this strange look on her face and said: "What are you doing?" I told her I was getting a workout in where I could. She just tsk-tsked at me and walked away....

She is over 250 pounds and it's killing her that I'm trying to lose weight. "You're ONLY a size 10. Why do you need to lose weight?" I lost 4 pounds this week, plus an inch off my waistline and I'm thrilled. I want to get back into my skinny jeans. I want to be able to walk up a flight of stairs and not have my thighs burning in pain. I want to be able to ride my bike down to the corner store and not feel like I'm gonna die. Do I miss my chips etc. Of course I do. And when I'm at my goal weight I might treat myself a little bit here and there, but she'll never get it. Don't let anyone sabotage all the good you're doing!!! Stay strong!! – floridawoman

Okay, now it's your turn. Do you have a favorite article of clothing lurking in your closet that might be a little too snug? Make it your goal to get back into that article of clothing! Getting to these small victories will keep you motivated and encourage you to work even harder. Despite what anyone else may say to bring you down, it's up to you to finally meet your weight-loss goals!

Do You Know Your Active Metabolic Rate?

The number of calories you burn in a day is known as your active metabolic rate (AMR). Rates vary from person to person, so it is cruical that you take the time to figure yours out — if you don't, you run the risk of consuming too many calories or even consuming too few.

A part of determining how many calories you burn in a day, you need to know is your physical activity level. Determine which one of these descriptions best fits your day-to-day routine, then give yourself the appropriate score.

a. Sedentary Physical Activity Level
Do you have a desk job or do some other kind of work that keeps you in your chair for most of the day? If the answer is yes, your score is 1.1.

b. Light Physical Activity Level
Are you on your feet and walking around for at least half the day? Stay-at-home moms, salespeople, and doctors fall into this category. If this is you, your score is 1.2.

c. Moderate Physical Activity Level
If you're on the move pretty much all day, with a few limited periods of being sedentary, this is the level for you. People in this category include gardeners, carpenters, and mail carriers. If you're in this category, your score is 1.3.

d. High Physical Activity Level
Does your job require being constantly on the move, and does it entail significant amounts of manual labor? Construction workers, farm workers, and movers are among those who land in this category. If you're in this group, your score is 1.4.

If you are a member of my online team and want the Web site to do the math for you, visit my Calorie Calculator.

Oherwise, another element you need to calculate your AMR is the number of calories you burn from exercise on an average day. The number of calories you burn during any exercise session depends on a few things, primarily your body weight.

Use this chart to help you determine the number of calories you burn from exercise on an average day according to your weight, the type of exercise you do, and its duration. You can also use a heart rate monitor to get an accurate number. Write the number down.

Now comes the math. If you don't know your BMR, it's influenced by a number of factors, including age, weight, height, gender, environmental temperature, and diet and exercise habits. Because of these varying factors, it's hard to pin down your BMR to the precise calorie, but we can get pretty close. Here are some formulas for figuring out your BMR. Get out your calculator and plug your numbers into whichever formula applies to you.

MALE: 66 + (6.3 × body weight in pounds) + (12.9 × height in inches) − (6.8 × age in years)

FEMALE: 655 + (4.3 × weight in pounds) + (4.7 × height in inches) − (4.7 × age in years)

Now you have all three numbers: your BMR, daily activity score, and exercise expenditure. Simply multiply your BMR by your daily activity score, and then add your exercise expenditure. Whatever you get from this final calculation is your magic number.

Pomegranate May Fight Some Breast Cancers


TUESDAY, Jan. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Laboratory tests suggest pomegranates contain chemicals that reduce the risk that women will develop hormone-dependent breast cancers, researchers report.
The key seems to be a phytochemical, ellagic acid, found in pomegranates. It inhibits aromatase, an enzyme linked to the development of estrogen-responsive breast cancer.

"We were surprised by our findings," principal investigator Shiuan Chen, co-leader of the Breast Cancer Research Program at City of Hope in Duarte, Calif., said in a news release. "We previously found other fruits, such as grapes, to be capable of the inhibition of aromatase. But, phytochemicals in pomegranates and in grapes are different."
More studies are needed, Gary Stoner, a professor in the department of internal medicine at Ohio State University, said in the same news release. "It's not clear that these levels could be achieved in animals or in humans" because the chemicals may not be easily absorbed from food.
Still, he said, people "might consider consuming more pomegranates to protect against cancer development in the breast and perhaps in other tissues and organs."
The study is published in the January issue of Cancer Prevention Research.

How Tammy Lost 142 Pounds!

From LOSING IT! With Jillian Michaels

Monday, January 11, 2010

Today I'm sharing the story of one my rock stars, Tammy! Just the other day she told me that she celebrated the two-year anniversary of the start of her health journey. She set her mind to losing weight back then and I've been so proud of her and impressed by her amazing results ever since. In fact, I even selected her as one of my Challenge winners two years ago. Now, she's now down 142 pounds from her starting weight! But she had to start somewhere — just like you.

Just over two years ago, Tammy was going through a rough patch. Her husband asked for a divorce and she questioned whether she was really happy. She made a list of what she really wanted her life to look like. She wrote down everything that came to mind; nothing was too big or too little. It included everything from "Go back to college and finish my nursing degree," to "Dare to have my beautician cut my hair with a razor instead of scissors." She carried that list around with her all of December and at the end of the month, she looked at all the things she'd written down and reevaluated her life. She decided to start with two items: a large change and a small one. On January 5, she had her hair cut with a razor and she began her weight-loss journey. This is where the story gets really good!


Once I'd joined JillianMichaels.com and spent a few minutes browsing the site, I felt as though a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I had tried to lose weight on my own countless times throughout my life, but I'd always failed. Jillian's approach made sense. Weight loss is a simple math equation: calories in, calories out. You had to burn more calories than you ate. Simple. Not easy, but simple.

When I first began my journey, I followed Jillian's online program pretty strictly. I worked out five days a week with, two rest days, used her circuit training from the site, and followed her suggested calorie limit; I also kept a diary of my food intake each day. In addition, I used Jillian's DVDs. In the beginning, I was ashamed of my size and very self-conscious about being in a gym with other people. I joined a 24-hour gym and would workout between midnight and 2 a.m. to increase my chances of being alone in the gym. After following this routine for four months, I decided to change to a gym that offered classes. I soon discovered that not only did I not care what other people thought (or whether they might be watching me), I actually enjoyed working out with people around. Their presence helps push me further in my workouts and keeps me moving when I'd rather stop.

Then in April 2009, it was announced that I was the winner of Jillian's New Year Challenge, and I learned that Jillian would be coming to my home to spend the day with me and give me a one-on-one training session. My upcoming day with Jillian kept me motivated and on the right path. Having had the opportunity of a lifetime to spend the day with the person I respect and admire most in this world continues to be what drives me to reach my goal. Having said that, I realize that not everyone has the same situations or opportunities I was blessed with, but find whatever it is that encourages you — something you can strive toward or look forward to. Focus your sights on that goal and keep moving forward. I recently ran my first 5K race with seven dear friends who have come to feel more like family to me. But it's the little, everyday things that most people take for granted that have made such a difference to me. I can climb stairs and not lose my breath. At home, I can lean over the bathtub to bathe a baby, cut the lawn without stopping, tie my shoes with ease, and scratch the center of my back. When I go shopping, I can find something that fits me in any store. On an airplane, I can easily buckle the seat belt and have to tighten it. Also, for the first time in my life, I can cross my legs at the knees, not only at the ankles.

Day 68 & Wrongly Traced Price at Cold Storage

Wednesday (6 Jan 2010)

Breakfast: 1 excelerade & 3 keping dark choc oat krunch. (8.00 a.m)
Snack: buah langsat bos bagi, dia cakap ada orang bagi dia. rajin2 la bagi wahai orang itu, nanti bos akan panjangkan sedekah anda. ahaks. ada la dalam 10-15 bijik.

Lunch: Rojak pasembor sepinggan. (1.00 p.m) cempedak goreng kurus 1.

petang pun tak makan pape.
Dinner: Zinger Tower!! tak beli set. Menambah calorie ia yang dah +- 640 cal tu. jalan 5jam pun belum tentu burned out. tapi sebab nakk sangat! hari2 makan biskut je time dinner, kalau dah kurus keding puas hati jugak! ni tak! ee geram! haha.

Exc: jalan 45 minit dalam alamanda.

Nak cerita, semalam singgah Cold Storage nak beli digital weight scale yang tengah sale tu, tapi kat CS alamanda tak sale, so tak beli, pulak tu takde fat & water percentage. Beli la benda2 lain. Lepas bayar tu cek resit, tergerak hati tau nak tengok sebab masa cashier scan barang tak tengok harga2. Cek tengok kellog's bar lebih kurang seperti di bawah ni, patutnye harga RM9.99, tapi dia scan RM23.99!! Perghh. Masa tu kat depan pintu CS lagi, masuk balik gi kat rak, cek betul la harga dia 9.99. I always go to the cheapest one, takkan tersalah amik yang mahal kot. :D

Gi kat cashier sorang lagi suruh dia cek, dia datang balik cakap betul harga 9.99. Isi satu borang ni and dia refund balik RM14. Seriously! RM14 tu boleh makan 4 hari tau dalam keadaan diet ni. Silap2 lebih lagi.

So beware jela kalau gi beli barang kat diorang ni, kat mana2 pun la sebenarnya. cek balik price tu. Sebab sebelum ni penah baca pasal kat CS salah scan harga. Be extra careful la. 2-3ringgit pun duit jugak, bukan senang2 dapat jatuh dari langit macam hujan.

Always Hungry? Maybe This Hormone Is Out of Whack

I've worked with many people who have told me that no matter how much they eat, they're still hungry. They can scarf down half a pizza plus dessert and still feel ravenous afterward. Does this sound familiar? If so, it's possible that a condition called leptin resistance is at least partly to blame.

To understand leptin resistance, you first have to understand the role the hormone leptin plays in your metabolism. When you've eaten a meal, the fat cells throughout your body release leptin, which travels to the hypothalamus, the part of your brain that helps regulate appetite. There, it switches off neuropeptide Y — a protein that tells your brain you're hungry — and switches on appetite-suppressing signals. In other words, it gives your brain the message to stop being hungry and start burning calories.

You'd think, then, that low levels of leptin would be the cause of an unstoppable appetite, but that's not necessarily the case. Some research indicates that many people who are overweight actually have very high levels of leptin. How could this be? Well, the more fat you have, the more leptin you produce. And when the body continually cranks out excess levels of leptin in response to overeating, the receptors for leptin in the hypothalamus can start to get worn out and no longer recognize it. People with leptin resistance have high circulating levels of leptin, but the receptors are "deaf" to it, so it can't shut off appetite or stimulate your metabolism.

This vicious circle is similar to what happens when a person develops resistance to insulin, the hormone that allows your cells to use the glucose in your blood. (Insulin resistance can cause high blood glucose levels and eventually lead to diabetes.) In fact, the two conditions often go hand in hand, and research suggests that leptin resistance may be reversed in the same way that insulin resistance can be reversed — by exercising, eating right, and losing weight.

Buah Plum – Anti Cacing dan Anti Bakteria


Buah plum yang dimakan segar mempunyai rasa manis, masam dan segar. Setelah mengalami pemprosesan, warna buah ini akan bertukar menjadi hitam. Bagi orang Cina, buah plum hitam membantu menyedapkan masakan khususnya sip. Buah plum hitam mengandungi asid sitrik, beta sitosterol dan triterpene.

5 Tips to Break Sugar Addiction

If you’re an American, there’s a good chance that you need to break a sugar addiction. From the time we’re children, processed sugar is constantly marketed to us. From Honey Comb to Hershey bars to a litany of carbonated beverages (the highest-grossing "food" sold in America), we spend our lives sucking saccharides in over-abundance.

Now, millions of us suffer from a variety of problems related to eating too much sugar, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

So, how do you break sugar addiction? Here are five tips to get you started.

1. Quit eating high-fructose corn syrup. Start checking nutrition labels and you’ll notice that a huge swath of what we eat has high-fructose corn syrup in it, especially sweets and junk foods. But you might think you have a healthy diet and still have a sugar addiction because you regularly eat yogurt, ketchup, granola and meal-replacement bars, and salad dressings – many of which contain high-fructose corn syrup. Despite piles of data explaining how dangerous this stuff is, profiteering food manufacturers continue to defend their use of it.

2. Eat natural sugars. Quit dumping white sugar into your recipes, coffee, tea, and cereal. If you must sweeten something, use honey or turbinado sugar (sold as Sugar in the Raw). Avoid brown sugar, as it’s often just white sugar with molasses added. While your food might, at first, seem bland, after a few weeks you’ll notice that lots of things are much sweeter than you knew, including grains, fruits, and milk. After a few months, you won’t miss refined sugar at all, and you’ll be able to tell that soda pop is nasty, syrupy goop.

3. Quit eating artificial sweeteners. At UC San Diego, researchers found that Splenda fires up the same neural pathways as sugar. Psychiatrist Guido Frank then told The Scientific American, "Splenda has less of a feedback mechanism to stop the craving to get satisfied." Which, to Frank, means it keeps you craving sugar. Again, if you really need to sweeten something, use natural sugars, and sparingly.

4. Eat plenty of fiber. Soluble fiber helps stabilize blood sugar – preventing sugar crashes and the cravings that inevitably follow. Soluble fiber can be found in fiber-rich foods like oatmeal, beans, fruits, and vegetables. I’ve found that beating sugar crashes is its own health benefit, as you escape the hunger, depression, and lack of energy that come with them. It also breaks the sugar addict’s cycle of refueling every couple hours with more sugar. Not to mention, fiber helps you feel full.

5. Wait out the cravings. Assuming you’re eating healthy foods in healthy amounts on a regular basis throughout the day, you should be able to out-wait sugar cravings as they arise. Like any food cravings, sugar cravings pass pretty quickly. If you’re starving yourself to lose weight, rather than eating properly, it’ll be much harder not to cave to sugar cravings. Here are some healthier desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth.
