I’m gaining weight too fast. For a person that during the last 20 years has been trying to gain weight and now, only by leaving a stressful work behind is gaining weight at no cost. I’m not taking creatine supplements or other products to increase muscle mass, nor I am taking any kind of medication to opening my appetite. I’m just more relaxed and peaceful, and weight is coming naturally. I have to be careful though. I don’t want to go from underweight to overweighted.

A suitably procedure of a dietetic treatment linked with proper exercise and other measures for promoting elimination is the exclusive scientific method of dealing with obesity.

The major factor in this treatment should be the balanced election of foods which supply the maximum required nutrients with the least number of calories.

To begin with, the patient should initiate a juice fast for seven to ten days. Lemon juices, grape fruit, orange, pineapple and celery, may be taken during this phase. Prolonged juice fast up to 40 days can also be undertaken, but only under professional supervision and control.

As an option, short juice fasts should be repeated at periodic intervals of two months or so until the appropriate decrease in weight is achieved.

After the juice fast, the person should spend a furthermore four or five days on an all – fruit diet, having three meals of fresh juicy fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, pineapple and papaya. Thereafter, he may gradually go for a low calorie well balanced diet of three basic food groups, namely: seeds, nuts and grains, vegetables and fruits, with priority on raw fruits,vegetables and fresh juices.

The foods which should be remarkably reduced or totally avoided are high fat foods such as butter, cheese, chocolates, cream, ice cream, fat meats, fried foods, and gravies; high carbohydrate foods like bread, candy, cake, cookies, cereal products, legumes, potatoes, honey, sugar, syrup and rich puddings beverages such as all fountain and alcoholic drinks.

Of course some people prefer to go through the expensive but easier way to get rid of weigh and they go to a Cosmetic Surgery Clinic to be “fixed”. Of course this type of clinic can help the person improve several parts of the body in the same surgery making it worth the money spent. It can also be useful to remove scar imperfections. Overall the use of a clinic is an easy way to have a great body without going through weight loss diets.

Of course not everyone can afford cosmetic surgery so most of the time a strict diet plan must be followed to accomplish the goal of losing weight.

The Holiday season is just around the corner and if you are working on losing some weight it can be a difficult season. Usually Christmas and New Years celebrations mean meals with high caloric and high in fat foods and low in nutrition. To help you there are five tips you can follow to accomplish your weight loss plan:

• First Tip: Avoid the alcohol. Usually parties have a lot of cocktails and beer but they are full of calories. Having one drink is fine per party is the right amount.

• Second Tip: Show up a little late at parties so that you don’t eat the entire meal available. Take a little healthy snack or meal at home so that you don’t feel tempted to eat a lot.

• Third Tip: Enjoy the holiday to do some outdoor activities. Play in the snow, walk along the coast, do as much activity as you can to burn calories. It’s good for your heart and keeps you away from the cakes and high caloric food.

• Fourth Tip: Go to the mall, walk around the shops, don’t take the escalator and instead use the stairs. At parties keep moving around talking to several guests without knowing you are exercising and burning calories.

• Fifth Tip: Well, you never know what people is going to offer you but for sure one or two will be offering you gifts of food. Boxes of chocolates and cookies are a temptation. So share them with your family, friends and co-workers.

I hope these tips help you stay on your weight loss program during the holiday season even if you are surrounded by goodies.

Child Obesity: children can also exercise at home

Some advises to get the kids “moving” inside the house:

• Play with rubber jumping balls, balloons, ping pong rackets, that don’t cause damage.
• Home scale Bowling kits
• While they are little, between 2 and 4 years old, let them jump on top of the bed mattress (if they have no breathing problems)
• Pillow fight (if they have no breathing problems)
• Portable Hopscotch game
• A lot of creativity!

These are some examples of how children waste their energy even being at home. Nevertheless they do not substitute the outdoors physical activities or sport practice.

I confess: Pizza is my favorite food. Yes, that’s true. Usually I make Pizza at home, I only buy the base and I put the ingredients I want.

I know most people have the idea that Pizza is fast food and therefore with a huge amount of calories. Some might have but you can also cook a low calorie Pizza at home and still be delicious.
