A-Z celebrity diet secrets revealed
September 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Nearly all movie stars, TV anchors, top models and singers look like gods. Perfect legs, slim waists, cool hairstyles, tanned bodies. They look effortlessly beautiful, but you should not be deceived by the appearances. Aside from a handful of people, all the rest have to work hard at it. Dieting and workouts are among the most important things in the life of a high-powered star. Because if they don’t look right, they don’t get contracts and they are soon out of the public minds and hearts. Such is life in Hollywood.
And just like any place where money and ambition meet, there are a lot of people trying to push this or that idea as the best thing since sliced bread, or something like that. And celebrities many do fall for this stuff, mainly because celebrities are just like the rest of us and have a hard time finding a diet that works. Since we are all a bit different from each other, there’s no single diet that works the same for everybody, which means that one has to try this or that eating plan in order to find which one is best. And the search can get a bit rough sometimes.
Famous model Claudia Schiffer, for instance, is not on any kind of diet. Naturally, she ahs tried a lot of them and has finally concluded that diets are messing with her metabolism and that she is better off sticking to a three meals per day plan. The meals are rich in vegetables and fruits, which are fast digested by the body, and she tried hard not to resort to snacks during meals. However, she does give in to temptation every now and then and eats a bit of chocolate or some other forbidden food. The crucial thing is not to give in to the temptation of eating a whole box of sweets.
Three meals per day rich in vegetables and fruits is also the cornerstone of Geri Halliwell’s eating plan. After going through excessive exercising and a long row of bizarre diets, Geri decided that enough is enough and turned to what she calls “sensible eating”. She is now part of the growing trend of celebrities that would rather have a nice set of curves to show than a skinny figure. So a bit of fat here and there is no longer a problem, which means that she can be less stressed about the whole dieting thing.
New Snack Ideas

It might be hard for some people to believe, but snacking is actually good for us. Doctors tend to recommend that we snack during the day. Snacking gives us that boost of energy that we need. The problem is, most people snack with the wrong types of food. They will snack with potato chips or with candy. While that is okay from time to time, I wouldn’t make a big habit out of it. I would like to think that the best approach to the bad things is this. Eat them one day of the week. Have the chips on Saturday while you are watching the game. You will enjoy them more during the game than you would at your desk. So, what should you eat for a snack? Don’t run to the burger joints or to the vending machine at work. Neither of those places have what you are looking for. First I would suggest that you take a look at what your over all diet is. More importantly, how much coffee you are drinking. If you are drinking too much coffee, I would suggest that you cut back and start to eat more fruit.
I would never suggest to you that you eat the energy bars that they sell in the health food store. I think if you are snacking during work or at home, you don’t need such a thing. Maybe if you are hitting the gym, but if you are hitting the keyboard at work, there is no need for them. All you are doing is wasting your money. This is what I do. I cut up a variety of veggies and put them in plastic sandwich bags. I might cut up celery, bell pepper, carrots, and so forth. Anything that you will eat is okay to put in your snack pouches. That is what I call them, my snack pouches. I also keep a salt shaker in my desk. I find that I am more likely to eat the veggies if I put a little salt on them. Try it, you will be amazed at how good they taste.
I try to keep some whole fruit on hand. What I mean by whole fruit is… Things such as peaches and apples. I don’t keep any canned fruit at work. Sometimes I will get those fruit cups and put those in my desk. If you do that, make sure that you get the ones without the sugar added. By nature I am a tight wad. So I don’t buy the fruit cups very often. I find that I can make the same thing for much less money. What I will do is make my own fruit cocktail.
Here is how I do it.
I take a few peaches and slice them. I take a handful of grapes and put them in. I don’t chop them up, but I do wash them. Then I cut up a few pears and throw them in. Then I peal and slice some banana. I might throw in some kiwi or some apples. You can add whatever you like. I didn’t give exact measurements because you should put how ever much in as you like. Don’t like bananas? Don’t put any in yours!
If you have ever eaten the stuff in the stores, you know that there is a little fluid in the can. Some times this is heavy syrup. Basically that is water and sugar. I am sure we all have seen this before. I find that when I eat my own fruit cocktail I miss that liquid. What I do instead is, I add some orange juice to my fruit cocktail. This gives me the wetness that I crave without having to add a bunch of calories by adding sugar. Try it, you will be amazed.
Yogurt can also be a great snack to get you through the day. Try to get the low fat variety. Make sure not to get the ones with the fruit on the bottom. Sometimes they add sugar and that is calories you don’t need. Get plain yogurt or get the vanilla kind. You can throw in what ever fruit that you like. I like strawberries in mine. I would suggest that you think about getting a food dehydrator. You can use these for all kinds of things. The nice thing is, you can dry fruit in them. I love to take a bunch of dried fruit and throw it into my desk. It won’t spoil for a long time. Your coworkers will make sure that it isn’t around long enough to spoil. They will keep asking you for some every time they see you.
Another little treat that I like to do is bring some whole wheat crackers along with me. Make sure you get the ones that aren’t loaded with fat. Some of the snack crackers are. I drink a little orange juice with my whole wheat crackers. That is one of my favorite snacks.
Snacking is a bad thing. I recommend that all of you snack. Make sure though, that when you snack, you are eating healthy. You will notice the difference in no time.
Adaptations To Sprint Training
September 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment
| By Vince DelMonte |
| If you are looking to improve your physical conditioning, sprint training is one of the best ways to go about doing so.
Many individuals prefer sprint training because it takes a lot less time than traditional forms of cardio that have you going for thirty to sixty minutes at a time and there are a great number of benefits that will be seen when you do this more intense form of sprint training workout. EPOC One of the biggest benefits you’ll get from sprinting is the EPOC effects it creates. This is known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption and is where the body will expend a great deal of calories returning the body back to its former state after the workout. Because sprint training is so intense, this will contribute to a large calorie burn after you have finished the workout. To even further increase the EPOC that is seen, consider doing hill sprint training. Since this is even more intense in nature, it will further challenge your body. Metabolic Adaptations Next, when you perform a number of sprint training workouts, the body will upregulate its ability to produce enzymes that are going to work at increasing the storage capacity of the muscle for energy substrates such as ATP. This then has the corresponding effect of allowing you to work out harder for a longer period of time without fatigue setting in. Note though that this occurs when you are working more on the aerobic side of things, so while it is intense, you are still utilizing oxygen. If no oxygen is present, you will only be able to last 5-20 seconds, regardless of how well conditioned you are (the better condition you are though, the harder you will be able to work during that time). The next benefit you’ll get with sprint training is its effect on phosphate metabolism. Phosphate creatine stores comprise a major component of the body’s fuel source for muscular activity, so anything you can do to increase this is going to be beneficial. Myokinase is an enzyme that is responsible for resynthesizing the energy from phosphate creatine, and with sprint training, it will increase its concentration within the muscle tissue by up to 20%. Glycolysis The next adaptation that will occur after you’ve been doing sprint training for a period of time is that of glycolysis. This is the primary form of metabolism used during a 10 second all out sprint and contributes between 55 and 75% towards energy production during exercise. Phosphofructokinase (PFK), an enzyme that catalyses the phosphorylation of the glycolytic intermediate fructose 6-phosphate), has also been shown to increase when sprint training is performed, along with the enzymes of lactate dehydrogenase and glycogen phosphorylase (other enzymes responsible for the glycolysis system). Intramuscular Buffering Capacity Finally, the last adaptation that’s seen with sprint training is the buffering capacity of the muscle. During glycoglysis, various byproducts are created such as lactic acid, and when these accumulate, it causes the extreme feelings of fatigue in the muscle tissues. This then forces you to stop exercising as the fatigue sets in and often will be the end of your workout. Overtime, sprint training will increase your ability to buffer these byproducts so that you can then workout for a longer period of time while maintaining that intensity. So, next time you’re debating about whether to do a sprint training session or a moderate paced cardio session lasting for 40 minutes or so, opt for the sprint session. The benefits you’ll receive are far more numerous and fat loss will be kicked up a notch as an added benefit. Keep in mind that for these type of benefits to occur, you want your sprints to last somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 seconds to 40 seconds, with a work to rest ration of about 1:2. Repeat this process a total of 6 to 8 times and begin and end with a five minute warm-up and cool-down. |

Now you want to use the oil to coat a rimmed baking sheet and place the cabbage wedges onto it, trying to keep them about an inch apart on the baking sheet. Then sprinkle with half of the cubed bacon.
The cabbage should be roasted for about twenty minutes or until browned, then the cabbage turn over add the rest of the bacon and roast for another twenty minutes or so. Sprinkle with salt and serve with vinegar or lemon wedges. This is a great low carb recipe but there are many, many more to choose from.

Serving A Great High Protein, Low Carb Meal
September 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment
If you want to plan a high protein, low carb meal you will want to start with your knowledge of what carbohydrates you should restrict. A lot of the carbohydrates that need to be restricted in this type of meal are those found in white rice, crackers, pasta and jam. These foods should not be served in a high protein, low carb meal.
To start off the meal well, you should serve a large salad. Any type of salad is good to serve. You can make a spinach salad that contains all those great vegetables as well as cheese and maybe some fruit. Go light on the salad dressing or use vinaigrette in order to flavor the salad. The most important thing is that you serve the type of salad that your family and friends enjoy the most.
When you are planning the main course of your high protein, low carb meal, you will want to make sure to have some type of meat as a part of the meal. Meat such as chicken, fish, pork and beef are all high in protein and will make a great addition to any meal. The best choice for everyone would probably be a serving of fish. Salmon, tuna or any other kind of fish that your family enjoys will be great as the main course in your high protein, low carb meal. Make sure that you are eating a lean cut of any meat and that your serving is not too large. Also cook it in a healthy way such as boiling or baking. Avoid frying any foods. This will add unnecessary fats.
Serve your fish with a good serving of vegetables, such as asparagus. Steam the asparagus and flavor it with a little lemon. Also, you can serve whole grain rice with this meal. Usually rice is not present in a high protein, low carb meal but if you use portion control and use whole grain rice, you will be fine.
If you want to serve your family a great tasting, healthy dessert you can make fruit smoothies with just some skim milk, ice and fruit blended to together.

Can You Eat Out With Low Carb Diet Meal Plans?
September 4, 2008 | 1 Comment
You’ve set your sights on a low carb diet meal plan but your friends have just invited you to go out to dinner. What are you going to do? Surely you’re not going to be able to find foods that fit within your low carb diet meal plan at a restaurant, can you? Of course you can. The internet is loaded with low carb diet menu plans that you can use to make good choices even when eating out. By learning about the content of the foods on the menus, and by making good food choices by researching the low carb diet menu plans, you can stay on your low carb diet meal plan even if you happen to be eating out.
Good Choices
You open the menu and automatically you’re faced with fattening cheeseburgers, desserts, and even the salads are loaded with fattening items. However, many restaurants nowadays know that people are on low carb diet meal plans and thus they usually have special areas on their menus just for you. They’ll have, for example, chicken breast and vegetables, salads for low carb diet meal plans, and much more. The food is usually very good and you can stay on your plan while enjoying your friend’s company. After all, isn’t that what eating out is usually all about anyways? Sure, it’s about the food too, but you have to make good choices if you hope to stay on your plan and these menu items are the way to do it.
What If There Aren’t Low Carb Options
You open the menu and you find that they don’t have a special section for people like you who are on a low carb diet meal plan. What are you going to do? Well, you can order a chicken sandwich and discard the bun, or you can order a salad without the croutons, or just tailor the menu items to fit your needs. Most restaurants will prepare a meal to your liking so just make good choices. It’s going to be difficult, as you’re going to be tempted to eat those fattening menu items, but you must remain strong if you hope to succeed in your weight loss attempt.
You can follow a low carb diet meal plan and still enjoy great foods, even while eating out. Just make sure you make good food choices, tailor the menu to become low carb if they don’t already offer that option and don’t give in to cravings or peer pressure. Just imagine how happy you’ll be later on when you can finally fit into your old pair of jeans that haven’t fit you for years.

Some Low Carb Diet Lunch Recipes To Make Things Interesting
September 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment
You’ve decided that you’re finally going to eat healthy. You don’t know if you want to follow a high protein low carb diet or a low carb vegetarian diet, you just know that there should be low carb included in whatever meal plan you choose. That’s a good idea as the fewer carbs you eat, the more your body will use your fat stores for energy.
For breakfast, you can eat things like egg whites with turkey sausage and maybe a slice of whole wheat toast. For dinner, you should eat mostly protein, or vegetables if you’re following a low carb vegetarian diet. For your low carb diet lunch, however, you need more carbs as this is when your energy levels are usually the highest.
Your Work Life
You don’t want your low carb diet lunch to interfere with work. If you don’t eat enough carbs, your body will feel very tired. You’ll feel moody and you could end up going off on someone at your office, or your place of employment. That could get you fired. This is definitely what you don’t want. So for breakfast and your low carb diet lunch, make sure you eat enough carbs to satiate yourself. This way, you’ll have plenty of energy to get through your day, and hopefully your workout.
Less Carbs As The Day Goes On
The idea behind a low carb diet, whether it’s a high protein diet or a low carb vegetarian diet, is that you want to eat your carbs early in the day when your body is more likely to burn them for energy. As the day goes on, you want to curb your carb intake so that your body will use your fat stores. So for your breakfast, and your low carb diet lunch, eat just enough carbs to satisfy yourself and get you through your day. For dinner, eat even less carbs or cut them out completely because your body is more likely to turn these to fat because you’ll probably be going to sleep soon and your body doesn’t need as much energy.
Get Exercise
To increase your fat loss results, get some kind of exercise a few times per week along with your breakfast and low carb diet lunch so that you can use those carbs for energy, burn your fat stores, and feel good all at the same time. When you exercise, your body releases endorphins which give you a natural high. This will help you achieve your results and help you feel good all while you’re making good low carb diet lunch, breakfast and dinner choices.
