Losing Hip and Thigh Diet Plan



The hips are often a problem area for dieters in the battle with weight loss. Fat accumulates around the hips and is often difficult to lose. Although it is next to impossible to spot treat areas of the body to lose weight, if you accumulate fat in the hips, there are steps you can take to eliminate the excess weight from this area

If you tend to store fat in the hips, then this is the first place excess fat will go. Eliminate any excess saturated fat from your diet to lose hip fat. Saturated fats can be found in fat cuts of meat, cheese and dairy made with any milk that is not non-fat. Read all nutrition labels and look for saturated fat content. Saturated fat should be less than 5% of your diet if you want to lose hip weight.

Dieters must be willing to cut their fat intake drastically if they are to lose weight and notice any significant changes in the hip and thigh area. However, dieters are permitted three meals a day. Snacking is also permitted in controlled amounts as long as the foods are targeted from the suggested list of "acceptable" foods. Calorie counting is not required with this diet.

Since vegetables have a low fat content, dieters are encouraged to consume as many vegetables as they desire or can fit into their daily menu plans. Unfortunately, for individuals who have a strong liking for food products that have high fat content, the Hip and Thigh Diet might be difficult to sustain on a long term basis.

The Hip and thigh diet is recommended as it is a well balanced diet that includes exercise and is based on sound principles and should improve overall health as well as helping you lose weight. No diet can make you lose weight specifically from one area of the body and the hip and thigh diet is no exception.

Calories Burned During Exercise



The number of calories you burn depends upon your weight, the activity your are doing and the intensity level you are exercising at. Any activity that you perform can be done at a variety of intensity levels. If you exercise at a higher intensity level, you will be working harder, expending more energy and burning more calories than someone who is not working quite so hard.

There are various weight loss and fitness programs that list down the different fitness activities with their respective calorie expended hourly count. Of course, the available weight loss exercises have varying degrees of calories burned during exercise. While there are activities that allow a person to burn more fat, there are others that merely give a minimal weight loss effect.

For those who are interested to know how to burn calories fast, it is advised that a person must devote at least thirty minutes for physical activity every day. The least strenuous exercise a person could do is to go walking for calories burned walking. For higher calories burned during exercise, at best swimming is said to give a great whole body workout.

Just a word of warning regarding cardio equipment and calories burned. Many cardio machines don't ask for your weight and tell you that you're burning X number of calories. The number displayed is for a person of average weight (usually average is 150 pounds). For many people, the number of calories is overstated. So, if the machine doesn't have you input your weight, don't believe the number of calories displayed.

Lose 20 Pounds in a Month



If you are overweight, you are putting your body under tremendous stress. Your muscles and bones have to carry the extra weight around, and your heart and digestive systems need to produce the extra energy required to do so. The fat deposits on your key organs make their functioning more difficult. The function of your immune system might be slowed down and you might be more prone to diseases.

Reduce the calorie intake: Slightly reduce the amount of calories you consume in a day. About 100 calories can be decreased from your diet. Care should be taken not to reduce high amounts of calories.

Drink Water: Water is the biggest catalyst of body metabolism which needs to be taken throughout the day.

Split your Meals: Eat five to six times a day to keep the body metabolism active.

Fiber Contents: Include fiber contents in your diet that promotes digestion and prevents constipation.

I recommend Saturdays as your “Dieters Gone Wild” day. I am allowed to eat whatever I want on Saturdays, and I go out of my way to eat ice cream, Snickers, Take 5, and all of my other vices in excess. I make myself a little sick and don’t want to look at any of it for the rest of the week. Paradoxically, dramatically spiking caloric intake in this way once per week increases fat loss by ensuring that your metabolic rate (thyroid function, etc.) doesn’t downregulate from extended caloric restriction. That’s right: eating pure crap can help you lose fat. Welcome to Utopia.

Exercise Tactics to lose 20 pounds in a month

Exercise twice a day – One 20 minutes workout in the morning and another one in the evening.

Do weights once every second day – Getting muscle will help your body burn more fat. The muscle takes a lot of calories to maintain while fat takes nearly none.

Split your cardio workouts between high and low intensity – High intensity to burn a lot of carbs off and low intensity to finish of the fat hanging around

Cardio is 20 minutes of hard cardio – Hard cardio is defined as keeping your heartrate up around 80% of your max. This will raise your metabolism for a long time 12 – 24 hours.

Walking or casual exercise can be an hour long – This is a great way to burn fat as you can exercise low impact by walking for an hour.

Weights should be basic exercises – Basic exercises are things like squats, bench presses, lunges, military presses. These exercises work a lot of muscle groups at once.

Healing between workouts is most important – Now that you are working out it is a good idea to get a lot of rest and sleep so that your body can recover. Your body only recovers when you are sleeping or at least resting.

Choosing a Good Running Shoe



Good footwear for every occasion is essential to your comfort, health and well-being. Every foot is different, so the first step in buying a good running shoe is to examine your foot to determine what characteristics you want in a running shoe. You need to determine your degree of pronation. If you tend to over pronate, your foot turns in, you will have flat arches and the soles of your shoes will show more wear on the inside edge.

We divide our shoes into three main categories (cushioned, stability and motion control); and three minor ones (performance training, racing and off-road). The first three are everyday options and are categorized essentially by your biomechanical needs; the second three are more specialized and you’d often only consider them as second shoes.

If you are running primarily on grass, trails, or any surface that is slippery, you may want to consider getting trail shoes. These shoes usually have added traction, durability, and stability; these shoes will help you get through the mud and leaves and, somewhat, the water with less slipping and sliding. If you run trails a large portion of the time, you may want to consider trail running shoes. However, it's always a good idea to keep a regular pair of running shoes around for when you want to hit the roads.

If you are a competitive racer you may want to invest in a good pair of racing flats. These shoes are made to be fast and flexible, but do increase the risk of injury. These shoes should only be used DURING races, and to break them in.

Fat Burning Foods



I’m dedicating this post to what I consider to be some of the best fat burning foods available. As usual, these are all natural foods and loaded with vitamins, nutrients and taste! Use these foods in meals and as snacks throughout the day.

Fat Burning Foods can help you burn fat, lose weight, and get in shape in no time. The idea behind the thermogenic diet is simple: Some foods require more calories to digest than they contain. Also, some foods boost your metabolism thus causing you to burn fat faster than just diet and exercise alone. For many people the best part is that you can essentially eat all you want and still lose weight. The downside is that you can't really cheat too much because this diet isn't really a diet, it's a lifestyle change. It's really not too hard to stick with it and you can start slowly and make changes gradually so you don't have to go cold turkey.

Salmon is probably one of the best meats for you overall and it tastes awesome too. Salmon is loaded with protein and Omega-3 Amino fatty acids boosting your metabolism and burning more fat. These fatty acids also have a very positive effect on your cardiovascular health, protecting you against heart disease.

Green tea has a chemical called EGCG that causes the brain and nervous system to run faster and helps you burn more calories. EGCG works sort of like caffeine except that caffeine causes your heart to beat faster. Want a super boost of your metabolism? Try combining caffeine and a 90 mg.dose of EGCG three times a day and you can burn an additional 80 calories a day, AOL Health says. Researchers found this out, along with the great news that you don’t have to engage in exercise for this to happen; it occurs when your body is at rest.

By boosting fiber and providing fewer calories from fat than other popular breakfasts (bacon and eggs, anyone?), ready-to-eat cereal can help you fill up — and slim down. Study from the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that women who ate cereal were 30 percent less likely to be overweight than those who ate other breakfast foods. To get the most bang for your breakfast buck, choose fiber-rich (aim for 5 grams per serving), low-fat cereals like Kashi Heart to Heart.

How to cut the calories in your takeaway pizza?




Eat just one slice of a large deep pan pepperoni pizza and you consume 430 calories and a quarter of your daily fat allowance; a Burger King XL Double Whopper lives up to its name, packing in 840 calories and over two thirds of your recommended fat intake and a Big Mac with fries whacks in at just under 700 calories and half your daily fat intake. Takeaway foods are also low in fibre and high in salt.

When ordering pizza choose a small or medium rather than a large pizza and opt for a thin crust rather than a thick one. Toppings such as chicken, seafood and vegetables are much healthier than high fat toppings like salami or lashings of cheese; by adding extra veggies you’ll be notching up one of your recommended five a day! If you prefer pasta steer clear of the cream and cheese sauces. Choose those which are tomato or vegetable based and ask for a side salad instead of the garlic bread.

Pizza Hut have some great deals for feeding the family, so if you're taking the kids for a treat, make sure you know what the healthiest choices are for you all.

Best starter: Texan chicken wings BUT it still has 5.5g of saturated fat and 355 cals!
Worst starter: A bowl of nachos with 669 calories and 15.3g of saturated fat

Fat Belly and Sugar Consumption



Sugar is a simple carbohydrate that's extremely calorie-dense. At four calories for each gram of sugar, it's easy to go overboard on sweet treats and beverages and not know it. According to medical experts, sugar consumption, especially the added sugars from soft drinks, is directly tied to weight gain and obesity -- increased body fat.

Consider all of the known sugars you consume in a day: candy bars, soda, sugared cereals, cookies. Add to that the hidden sugars that you consume. Take a look at the nutritional information for any of the foods you regularly eat. Under the "carbohydrates" count, there is a count for "sugars." High amounts of sugar are in a surprising number of things that you eat every day. Once you become aware of how many processed foods contain sugar, you'll be astounded at how much sugar you eat every day.

Excess sugar, salt and fat causes bloating and water retention. It also causes weight gain [fat.] Eating too much sugar spikes your blood sugar which causes you to eat more and your metabolism goes down. You don't have the proper nutrition for energy. That's why people feel sluggish after eating sugary candy, even though people think it makes them hyper. I don't think it's the one and only cause of stomach fat, but I think it's a contributing cause of fat in general.

Sugar addiction is no easy thing to kick, but the hardest part is the first step. Many sugar addicts report that if they can just get by the first few days or a week without sugar, their cravings almost entirely disappear. The problem is that if they fall off the wagon even once, the sugar jonesing comes back with a vengeance. It’s like they never stopped at all.

That points to one key strategy – get all the refined sugar out of your house and never buy more. Sure, you can still trip up by visiting a mini-mart, restaurant, or coffee shop, but the best thing is to remove all temptation from your immediate vicinity. Often, it’s that quick craving that would be relatively easy to face down if you had no sugary treats staring you in the face that proves to be your undoing. If you have nothing which to grab, you can get past it. If there’s a plate of cookies, a slice of cake, or a box of sweet crackers within reach, all bets are off.

Peanut Butter on a Low Fat Diet



It is no secret that Americans love their comfort foods. Peanut butter, according to a recent study, was stocked by 83% of the 1,700 American households surveyed. With its convenience, great taste, nutritional value and ability to satisfy adults and children alike, it's no wonder most people eat it...a lot. Unfortunately, peanut butter is also loaded with fat and calories and has always been considered a major diet no-no...until now.

Peanut butter is a staple in many households, but at 16 grams of fat and around 200 calories per two-tablespoon serving, peanut butter is obviously not a low-fat, low-calorie food. But before we cross peanut butter off our list, there are some pluses that mean we can spread some on our toast or sliced apples from time to time. Apart from being a good source of vitamin E, folic acid, niacin, and phosphorous, most (but not all) of the fat in peanut butter is the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind; plus, it contains no cholesterol.

Historically, peanut butter has been in that class of foods that just doesn't have a palatable low fat alternative. Similar to the low fat versions of mayonnaise, cheeses, butter spreads and sour creams, the taste of low fat peanut butters left an awful lot to be desired. Better 'n Peanut Butter has undeniably remedied that and they have more than a few testimonials to prove it.

It is high in fat but it is also extremely high in protein so if you're working out, it will help you build muscle and raise your metabolism. If you don't get much exercise than it probably isn't a good idea but if you are building muscle and keeping track of your fat intake you should be fine a little peanut butter!

Low Carb Diet Tips & Basics




Read about various low-carb diets, or zero in on one. Ideally, read one of the books and become familiar with the principles. Above all, don’t fall for the common myths about eating low carb – such as that there are no vegetables or fruit, that it can’t be healthy, that it has to be boring, etc. Like other ways of eating, low-carb eating can be healthy or not, balanced or not, and there is certainly no reason for it to be boring. Rest assured that science is on the side of cutting carbs – perhaps not for everyone, but for many of us.

This misconception is the idea that a “low”-carb diet must be really really low in carbohydrates. You will read that low carb diets attempt to “eliminate carbohydrates,” for example.

Fact: Not one low-carb diet author advocates this. Even Atkins Induction, which is very low in carbohydrates, is not “no carb,” is only meant to last two weeks, and actually can be skipped altogether, according to the Atkins Web site.

Fact: Diet authors who recommend reducing carbs have all sorts of different ideas about carb levels.

Fact: The carbohydrate level should be adjusted to the individual.

Fact: Over the years, the “nutritional establishment” has been gradually lowering the range of recommended carbohydrate in the diet, at the same time condemning reduced-carb diets, some of which may be recommending the lower end of the new “accepted range,” or close to it. Example: Dr. Dean Edell, a prominent media physician, once stated that the Zone Diet, a 40% carbohydrate, low saturated fat diet, “could be dangerous” because it is too low in carbohydrates. The National Academy of Sciences recommends that 45% to 65% of the diet be carbohydrate, depending upon the individual.

Flat Belly Diet Morning Meals




If your standby breakfast is boring, fattening or—worse—nonexistent, then you could use a Flat Belly Diet morning meal makeover.

The belly-fat fighting ingredients in these recipes are MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids)—The Flat Belly Diet magic ingredient that targets stubborn tummy fat.

MUFAs are the good-for-you fats found in foods such as avocados, olive oil—even dark chocolate! You’ll find a MUFA in each of these 10 delicious recipes

Chances are you will lose belly fat on the Flat Belly Diet, but not because of the MUFAs. When you lose weight, you are more likely to lose it in your midsection regardless of the type of weight loss plan, says Michael Jensen, MD, Mayo Clinic obesity researcher and endocrinology specialist. The plan promotes a lifestyle of overall healthy eating, weight control, stress reduction, and exercise that could be sustained beyond the 32 days. Log onto flatbelly.com for added support, motivation, additional menu plans, and the option to print shopping lists or track nutritional intake.

Sample Flat Belly Menu

Breakfast: Apple almond oatmeal

Lunch: Pesto ham and cheese sandwich on whole-grain English muffin with lettuce & tomato and 1 cup grape tomatoes

Dinner: 3 oz grilled salmon steak with 2 tablespoons almonds, 1 1/2 cup green beans

Snack: 1/4 cup hummus with 2 tablespoons pine nuts and 1 cup red pepper strips

Calories of meals and snacks during the diet phase are controlled at 400, but the other nutrients can vary. "You can get up to 40% of your calories from fat if you choose the higher fat menu items," says Sass, which exceeds the National Institutes of Health recommendation of 20%-35% of calories.

Weight Loss Strategies - Do Push-Ups




Muscle burns more calories than fat does, and decreased muscle mass can be one of the main reasons metabolism slows. Disuse can cause women to drop as much as 10 pounds of muscle between the ages of 30 and 50. Losing that much muscle means you'll burn 350 to 500 fewer calories a day. To build and maintain muscle mass, aim for two to three strength-training workouts a week. If you don't belong to a gym, try push-ups, squats, abdominal crunches and tricep dips off a chair.

Strength training has many benefits including:

* Boosting metabolism
* Burning calories
* Preventing bone loss
* Strength training is expensive

The only problem with strength training is that it can be expensive. It is not cheap to join a health club. Home gyms cost an arm and a leg. It can also be expensive to buy free weights. So when you are “broke”, what do you do?

Well, I have a piece of exercise equipment that I know you can afford. It is your body. Body weight exercises use your body as resistance. These exercises are good because they stimulate more muscles than free weights or machines. One of them is Push Ups.

Any device that claims to improve the push-up is a waste of money. The push-up is a great body weight exercise. You can strength train with push-ups for years without needing to add extra resistance. You can simply switch to a more difficult variation of push-up.

The average person can not do 3 sets of 12 regular push ups without any additional push-up device. So, the average person does not need any additional push-up device.

Black Tea for Weight Loss



Black tea made from Camellia sinensis has making headway. It soars because of its well-known advantages in the individual's overall health. It does not only help the person get rid of her excess weight but it also takes care of the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other major organs of the body. This is because it prevents the person from having cardiovascular diseases. It also lowers blood sugar and the LDL cholesterol levels of the consumer. The tea has also antibacterial properties that protect you from having tooth decay.

A study by Drs. Rumpler, Seale, Clevidence, Yamamoto and Komatsu of the U.S.D.A. Beltsville Humer Nutrition Center proved that there is a link between drinking tea and weight loss. Persistent consumption of tea is required, they reported, to obtain any beneficial effect. A study in Japan published in the "Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism" in 2008 showed that black tea helped with weight loss, and also had the additional benefit of lowering cholesterol levels.

When researchers gave mice a high fat diet supplemented with five percent black tea extract it reduced the amount of weight and body fat they gained - and even lowered the amount of fat they stored in their liver.

Why did the black tea extract prevent weight gain in these mice? Researchers believe the polymerized polyphenols - theaflavins and thearubigins - in black tea are responsible for this benefit. Theaflavins and thearubigins aren't found in green tea because it isn't allowed to ferment.

Black tea is SAFE for most adults. Too much black tea, such as more than five cups per day, can cause side effects because of the caffeine. These side effects can range from mild to serious and include headache, nervousness, sleep problems, vomiting, diarrhea, irritability, irregular heartbeat, tremor, heartburn, dizziness, ringing in the ears, convulsions, and confusion.

People who drink black tea or other caffeinated beverages all the time, especially in large amounts, can develop psychological dependence.

Caffeine is PROBABLY SAFE in children in amounts commonly found in foods.

No Flour, No Sugar Diet, Worthed It?



Eliminating flour and sugar effectively reduces the amount of "empty" calories from your diet. Many of these foods (based on refined carbohydrates) are also high in fat (pizza, donuts, etc).

The premise is a good one. Despite all the contrary dietary advice of recent years - there does seem to be a growing consensus about refined carbohydrates: We eat too much of them and they provide us with little nutritive value - not to mention the issue of glycemic response.

The No Flour, No Sugar Diet suggests you can lose weight without a dedicated exercise plan. However, it does make some recommendations to increase those results. Exercise shouldn't be a punishment, so find something that you'll look forward to doing and give that 30-60 minutes each day.

It seems that the No Flour, No Sugar Diet would be most ideal for individuals with food allergies who are looking for support to eat healthy. However, if you're looking for a low-carb plan, this one definitely takes it to the extreme. Some testimonials say it's hard to stick to because you're refusing yourself some of the foods you really enjoy, like sandwiches, pizza or pastries. The diet requires a lot of effort on the user's part, as there is daily journaling, measuring portions, detailed reading of food labels (searching for those hidden sugars) and a daily commitment to exercise.

Sample Meal Plans

* Breakfast: Omelet muffin, sliced fresh strawberries
* Morning Snack: Diced cantaloupe
* Lunch: Greek salad
* Afternoon: No-sugar-added yogurt
* Dinner: Chicken breasts in Rosemary-Dijon sauce, spinach salad with tomato vinaigrette, steamed brown rice

* Breakfast: Whole-grain cereal (with no flour or added sugar), nonfat milk, fresh peach
* Morning Snack: Diced pineapple
* Lunch: Green salad with water-packed tuna, sliced tomato, shredded carrot, and no-sugar-added vinaigrette
* Afternoon: Spiced Edamame (Soy beans in the pod)
* Dinner: Meatballs in tomoto sauce and baked polenta with fresh corn

* Breakfast: Basic Crepe filled with sliced lean ham and reduced-fat cheese; sliced apple
* Morning Snack: 1 stalk celery fille with reduced-fat, no-sugar-added peanut butter
* Lunch: Taco salad with spiced prawns
* Afternoon: Spiced Edamame
* Dinner: Curry yogurt chicken, steamed or sauteed zucchini, steamed brown rice

Diet for Low Blood Sugar



Low blood sugar or hypoglycaemia is a disorder of blood sugar metabolism. Hypoglycemia is the medical term for the condition in which blood glucose or blood sugar levels are lower than the normal and healthy levels. Glucose, which is one of the main sources of energy for the human body is mainly derived from carbohydrate rich foods. Foods like potatoes, rice, various fruits, the different cereals, and dairy products like milk and sweets are also rich sources of carbohydrates.

Under normal circumstances glucose that is present in foods is absorbed in to the bloodstream to be supplied to the body cells. The energy conversion process by which glucose is used for energy is regulated by insulin, which is a hormone produced in the pancreas. Our diets are often deficient or excessive in certain ingredients and even the healthiest diets will have some nutrient in abundance or lacking. If your glucose intake is higher than that required by your body then the excess is stored in the liver as glycogen. These are like glucose reserves that are used to meet the energy requirements of your body in between meals, in the absence of a fresh supply of energy. Extra glucose may also be converted to fat and stored in fat cells that can again be used as energy.

Keep a daily account of everything you eat for one week to ten days. In one column, list every bit of food, drink and medication that you take and at what time. In the second column, list your symptoms and the time at which you experience them. Very often you will see a correlation between what you have consumed and your symptoms. When you do, eliminate those foods or drinks that you notice are contributing to your behavior and note the difference. DO NOT STOP MEDICATION. If you believe that your medication may be contributing to your symptoms, contact your physician. A diet diary is your personal blueprint: a clear overall view of what you are eating, digesting and assimilating. It can be the first indicator that something is wrong and, perhaps, a very inexpensive way of correcting a very simple problem.

The aim of a hypoglycemia diet is to slow down the absorption of food. Given below are a few tips for a hypoglycemic diet:

* Carbohydrates should not be eliminated from the diet. Instead, the consumption of complex carbohydrates should be increased. Complex carbohydrates are absorbed at a slower rate compared to simple carbohydrates and hence do not cause the quick fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Some of the complex carbohydrates are legumes, vegetables, whole grain rice, pasta, cereals and breads.
* Stay away from foods comprising of simple carbohydrates like soda pop, pastries, cookies, cakes, candy, pies, molasses, honey, table sugar, jellies, and jams.
* Increase the consumption of high fiber foods. Fiber is the undigested part of grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits. When these foods are eaten the carbohydrate is absorbed more slowly, thus preventing the sharp spikes and lows of blood sugar that is characteristic in hypoglycemia. Some of the sources of soluble and insoluble fiber are whole grains such as cereals, bran, brown rice, and wheat; vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage; root vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and beetroots; fruits like apples, strawberries, and citrus fruits; dried beans, peas and other legumes.
* Instead of drinking fruit juice, it is better to eat the whole fruit, whether fresh or canned. The fiber in the fruit slows down the absorption of sugar.
* It is advisable to have smaller meals interspersed with snacks.
* It is best to avoid beverages and foods that contain caffeine because it causes similar symptoms as hypoglycemia, thus worsening your condition.
* Alcoholic beverages should be avoided, as alcohol causes a drop in blood sugar levels, especially if taken on an empty stomach.
* It is advisable to get your body weight down to optimum levels according to your height, as excessive weight can hinder the body’s ability of using insulin.

Burn Calories with Orgasm



Did you know there are some health benefits to having an orgasm? Sexual stimulation with a partner or by yourself can do so much for your well being. Here is where the old saying "if it feels good do it" applies.

On average you can burn 1000 calories having an orgasm. Very few activities can burn that many calories in such a short time and be as enjoyable. All your muscles get exercise in sex its no wonder it burns so many calories. Plus some people can tend getting a little sweaty which is sign of good successful workout.

You can also use our calorie calculator to count how many calories are burned during other activities.

Possible Side Effects of Good Sex

The first indication that sex was a positive experience will be a buzzing in the pelvic area and a clear complexion. If sex was really terrific, you feel dangerously drained, as though your body had been connected to a large milking machine for several days...

Swooning = 6 calories
Palpitations = 10 calories
Shortness of breath = 5 calories
Perspiring = 8 calories

Multiple Orgasms

For women:
2 = 14 calories
5 = 30 calories
8 = 47 calories
(Depending her rate of recovery a woman can enjoy around 8 orgasms within an hour period without losing consciousness or disarranging her hair. As the number increases she may begin to experience a form of "reduced sanity" that will temporarily interfere with her ability to make the beds and cook supper.)

For Men:
2 = 21 calories
3 = 39 calories
4 = 57 calories
(Many men can enjoy up to 4 orgasms in an hour with little discomfort except for the slight ringing in the ears. However, a man who tries to achieve more than 10 orgasms within that same period is flirting with irreversible brain damage.)

Positions

Man on top, woman on bottom (facing each other) 20 calories

Woman on top, man on bottom
(Many women find that in addition to its inherent sexual possibilities, this position affords a better view of the clock.) 25 calories

From the rear (Mysterious variation) 40 1/2 calories

Standing: Both partners of equal height 18 calories

Standing: Woman 1 foot taller than a man 90 calories

While in traction
(very useful during ski season) 124 calories

Fat Burning Foods



Fat Burning Foods can help you burn fat, lose weight, and get in shape in no time. The idea behind the thermogenic diet is simple: Some foods require more calories to digest than they contain. Also, some foods boost your metabolism thus causing you to burn fat faster than just diet and exercise alone. For many people the best part is that you can essentially eat all you want and still lose weight.

In reality, ALL foods are "thermogenic" because the body must use energy to digest them. This is known as the "thermic effect of food" (TEF) or "specific dynamic action of food."

However, not all foods have the same thermic effect. Dietary fat has the lowest thermic effect. The most thermogenic food (my "favorite") is lean protein from solid foods, especially the following:

* chicken breast
* turkey breast
* game meats (venison, elk, etc)
* bison, buffalo
* very lean red meat such as top round and lean sirloin (grass fed is especially nutritious)
* almost all types of fish
* shellfish and other seafood
* egg whites (whole eggs in moderation)

Oats are a great way to fill you up as they’re loaded with fiber. They’re also a very good source of selenium which boosts your energy and immune system by producing antibodies.

Incorporating these fat burning foods into your regular diet can definitely help stimulate fat loss but if you are really serious about losing fat permanently I highly suggest you follow a fat burning diet plan that’s proven to work for the long term.

Chili and Weight Loss



With the seasonal harvest of chile peppers under way, it seemed appropriate to revisit the pepper's reputation as a weight-loss aid. Claims of medicinal properties of chile peppers have circulated for years. The reported benefits have included everything from easing arthritis pain to lowering cholesterol. In 2002, Heidi Allison promoted the use of the Southwest staple for the diet conscious in her book The Chili Pepper Diet.

In 1986, researchers at Oxford Polytechnic in England fed 12 volunteers identical 766-calorie meals. On some days, researchers added three grams each of chili powder and mustard. On alternate days, they added nothing. Researchers found that on the days they added extra spices, participants burned 45 extra calories, on average.

Red hot pepper has been long recognized for its ability to help slimming. However, because of the undesirable side effects, only a few select slimmers have been daring enough to put up with the unpleasant side effects so as to benefit from improved weight loss.

Scientific evidence has indicated that red hot pepper has the ability to boost your metabolism so that you burn calories faster. In some circumstances it was discovered that you might even burn calories as much as twelve X faster than normal.

You also can try to make :

Health Valley chili

Description: The right soup is always a great part of your weight-loss arsenal. This can of fat-free chili is tasty, easy to prepare, and filled with healthy fiber.
You'll Save: 200 calories and 22 grams of fat compared with other prepared and restaurant chilis.

Slim Body and Diet Discipline



One of the most commonly searched topic, may be even more than the sonnets of Shakespeare would be the question, how to lose weight. Obesity is one of the major banes of the modern lifestyle which every one of us has faced one or the other time. Moreover, the question of losing weight has become trickier than the whole, which came first, hen or egg thing.

Weight reduction is difficult for those who can not keep your diet plan in tact. Keep in mind, no matter what develops, don't ever drive yourself to a diet.

Liposuction Surgery Risks



The traditional technique of liposuction was performed by inserting a cannula, or tube, into an incision under the skin. The cannula has a vacuum appliance attached to it. The plastic surgeon proceeds to push and pull the cannula through the fat layers under the skin, breaking down the fat cells and extracting them.

As with any invasive surgical procedure, there are potential side effects and risks involved with liposuction. All of them might not occur with every patient, and recovery time varies, depending on health and heredity.

The most common medical side effects of lipoplasty include:

* Bruising - painful in the short term, but treatable with pain killers and reduces quite quickly.
* Swelling - typically reduces in 4-6 weeks.
* Scarring - varies according to the type of liposuction used and stitching technique. Usually fades over the coming months.
* Pain - typically temporary and treatable by prescription or over-the-counter medication.
* Numbness - typically fades after 3-4 weeks.
* Mobility - can be reduced post-operatively for a while. Your plastic surgeon will advise you how soon you can resume normal activity.

These side effects generally subside within a few weeks.


The risks involved with liposuction include:

*Allergic reaction to anesthesia
*Infection
*Damage to internal organs (punctures from the cannula)
*Skin necrosis (death)
*Fluid imbalance
*Skin damage
*Burns (due to friction of the cannula with the skin or nerves)

Temporary scarring is perfectly normal after any surgery involving incisions. Typically, most plastic surgeons make minimal incisions in areas that are more easily concealed. Generally, most if not all scars will fade, even though there may be small traces remaining.
