Ideal Fat Burning with Acai

In an ideal world, we would all have enough time to exercise every day for at least 30 minutes and we would all make the right choices when deciding what to eat.  We don’t live in an ideal world. The reality is we live in a world where people have to work two jobs, some have to work through lunch making take out an only option.  When you have to juggle carpools, neighborhood meetings, taking kids to-and-from sporting events and dance recitals while working it doesn’t leave a lot of time for hitting the gym.

Since everyone leads a busy life and most people can’t find the time to watch everything they eat and to go to the gym every day. We polled the experts to find out when you can’t do it all, what’s best to do, to get the best results.

If your goal is to simply loose weight, dieting wins out. Timothy Church, MD, PhD, a Louisiana State University researcher points out that is easier,  “to cut 500 calories out of your daily intake than to spend an hour at the gym every day burning 500 calories.”  He goes on to point out that the most successful weight loss plans have,  “a balance of diet and exercise.”

If you are feeling groggy every day and need to increase your energy levels, adding more exercise and physical activity in your life should be your plan.  Exercising increases the amounts of dopamine and nor-epinephrine your body produces, thus increasing your energy levels.

If you were looking to prevent heart disease, adjusting your diet would be the most effective way of addressing that problem.  Dr. William Harris, director of cardiovascular research at the University of South Dakota recommends adding foods that are “high in Omega-3 Fatty Acids” to your diet.  Adding these foods has shown a decrease of heart disease risk by 64 percent in recent studies.

If you are at risk for developing diabetes or would like to improve your current diabetic condition, adding exercise or exercising longer would be the cure!  Reaching a healthy weight through diet and exercise is the best way to deal with diabetes.  When you add more exercise and physical activity you are giving yourself an edge. Active muscles burn up glucose from the blood for fuel, which helps keep blood sugar levels stable.

If you are feeling blue, crabby, or depressed, exercise is the way to go.  Exercise increases the amount of endorphins your body produces; endorphins help to improve your mood and a good way to release stress.

Relationship Weight Gain + Acai Berry

We all know that once we get comfortable in a relationship we make new habits together.  Most of them not the best for weight loss, our new years diet, or a healthy body/mind.

Just remember acai is the diet featured on oprah and works great when eating healthy and drinking lot of water!

You always eat out

It’s natural to have a bonding experience over food.  But, you can do this at home.  Try going to the grocery with your loved one and picking out a meal you will cook together.  This can lead to a great experience and a slimmer waist!

It’s hard getting out of bed

Many studies have shown that once you have been together a couple of years you are more concerned about couple activities and less with working out or taking a walk by yourself.  Stop laying on the couch together and plan trips to the park, zoo, or even the mall!

Be happy, but go to the gym

Being in a relationship should make you happy and have a better outlook on life.  But don’t slack when it comes to staying healthy and taking care of your body.  Try putting a post it note on your mirror and looking at yourself when you get out of the shower.  Is this what you want to look like for your spouse?  or more important yourself?  Get out and do something together!

Acai + Drinking Tips

It may not be the nectar of the Gods, but there is a way you can get a waistline that would turn Apollo’s head and make Aphrodite envious. The best part, it is as close and convenient as your kitchen.  That’s right, it’s water!

That’s right forget about those expensive shakes and drink mixes that you find at vitamin stores or see on late night info-mercials. In fact, the less you supplement your food and beverage intake, the more weight you’ll lose, and the more money you will save! So get a glass and drink up!

In addition to cutting out the supplemental beverages, here are five other tips to avoid when looking at libations:

Just remember acai is the diet featured on oprah and works great when eating healthy and drinking lot of water!

1.)  Skip the Soda!

A national survey measured where the majority of our calories come from, and they discovered that most of our calories come from drinking sodas! More people said they drink sodas (7.1%) than said they eat vegetables (6.5%) or chicken/fish (5.7%). Think about this, if you consumed an average of 2,500 calories a day, and you cut 7 percent of your calories, you’d automatically drop down to 2,325, a difference that would save you 1.5 pounds per month. That could be an average of 18 pounds a year- just by avoiding the soft drink machine.

2.)  Drink at least 8 glasses of water- A DAY.

In a recent study, researchers took group of 173 overweight women and put through diet and nutrition training using mainstream diet programs. They then followed them for 10 months, recording their dietary and body composition for up to 12 months. All women in the program lost weight, but those drinking more water lost more weight. Those who drank more than 1 liter of water per day (nearly 4½ cups) lost an extra 5.07 pounds in 12 months.

3.) Add an extra smoothie, or three to your daily routine

Smoothies take little time to make (so you can quash your hunger pangs quickly), they’re packed with nutrition (especially if you start with Greek yogurt and add berries, whey protein, and some flax), and their thickness takes up a lot of space in your stomach, crowding out the Doritos. In fact, researchers at Purdue University found that people stayed fuller longer when they drank thick drinks than when they drank thin ones, and a study at Penn State found that people who drank yogurt shakes that had been blended until they doubled in volume ate 96 fewer calories a day than those consuming thinner drinks.

4.)  Ditch the Juice DRINKS

While even 100 percent juice has its problems, juice drinks and their ilk are the worse offenders. One 16-ounce bottle of SunnyD Smooth packs 180 empty calories and 40 grams of sugar.  You probably thought you were making a healthy choice or finding a good alternative to a soft drink, sadly you were mistaken. By cutting those tricky drinks out of your diet you’ll lose 19 pounds in a year!

5.)  Stick with straight up, black coffee

Researchers studied coffee habits in New York and found that two-thirds of Starbucks’ customers opted for blended coffee drinks over regular brewed coffee or tea. The average caloric impact of the blended drinks was 239 calories. The regular coffee or tea, by comparison, was only 63 calories after factoring in added cream and sugar. So even if you like your coffee sweet and light, you can strip away 176 calories every day, just by making this one swap.

Fast Food – Less Fat

The days of long leisurely lunch hours are long gone, for most people the lunch hour has become a time to catch up on daily errands, leaving drive through, take out, and other fast food restaurants the popular and convenient choice for much of the work force, especially working women. Women are often expected to work a 40 hour work week, like their male counter parts but they are still expected to do many of the household chores/errands like going to the dry cleaners, the pharmacy, and the super market, leaving the drive through lane the only option.

A recent “Journal of American Dietetic Association” study found that 59% of women eat their lunch while they are driving or otherwise occupied. Working women should be weary, what they shave off the time clock might reappear on their waists lines and thighs. The same study cited that those who patronize fast food restaurants more than twice a week tend to be at least 10 pounds more than those who eat out less often. These less healthy, albeit convenient, lunches can have problems far worse than having to go up a size- eating too much fast food puts you at a greater risk for diabetes, heart disease, and colon cancer.

Not to worry! We have found several alternatives to the combo meal or the super sized meals that are just as easy to get and have far less calories:

Burger King:

Veggie burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato and ketchup: garden salad with ½ packet of light Italian dressing. About 550 calories

McDonalds:

Premium Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken with ½ packet of creamy Southwest dressing; fruit and yogurt parfait (without the granola). About 500 calories

Quiznos:

Pan Asian Chicken Chopped Salad, order the dressing on the side use half of it or as for fat-free balsamic vinaigrette for a healthier option. About 330 calories

Panera Bread:

Order a “You Pick Two” combo of Lowfat Vegetarian Black Bean soup and half a Mediterranean Salmon Salad. About 350 calories

Subway:

Six inch Subway Veggie Patty sandwich on toasted wheat bread with lettuce, tomato, two slices provolone, plus any other uncooked veggies, topped with mustard and/or vinegar. About 450 calories

Taco Bell:

Fresco Bean Burrito with a side of guacamole -it contains beneficial fat. About 400 calories

Wendy’s:

Small chili with a side salad tossed with 1 packet of fat-free French dressing and a half order of mandarin oranges. About 400 calories

If these don’t appeal to you, you can still order your favorite burger, just skip the fries- they add about 1200 calories to your meal. Instead of a soft drink order an unsweetened Iced Tea.

Diet Myths Busted – Exposed

Over the years we have heard everything under the sun about how to diet and lose weight.  From drinking lots of water, not eating certain foods, and making sure to do xyz exercise.  But many of these are simply lies and won’t do you any better than the newest as seen on tv product.

Eating late at night is bad – while eating during the day gives you more energy and possibly keeps you feeling better, eating late at night is not bad and your meal will not turn magically into fat.  So don’t worry, quit starving yourself and have that midnight snack!

Fresh fruits and vegetables are better than frozen - simply not true!  Eat as much as you can of both fruits and vegetables when available, either fresh or frozen.

Flavored water is better for you than soda – busted, actually the newer flavored water and energy drinks will leave you feeling tired and are worse for your body than having a soda.

Exercise in the morning burns more fat – even I enjoy working out first thing in the morning.  But, besides being easier to stick to a schedule exercising in the morning is not better than any other time in the day. Heck, most Americans don’t even work out period!

Save calories by skipping breakfast – If you haven’t soaked in any of the myths above one of the most important things for losing weight and having a healthy diet is eating breakfast.  Skip breakfast and you will not only feel worse throughout the day but  you will eat more at other meals.

Follow the above tips to maximize your weight loss when taking acai and colon cleanse together. Next, drink water before your meal along with your acai pill at breakfast and dinner.
