Not overweight, but feel uncomfortable with your  tummy? There are two explanations: either you have too much stress in your life or only part of … goodies that might  irritate the colon.
The mechanism is already known: cortisone, a hormone released under stress, increase the volume of adipocytes (fat cells), which once developed, they begin to secrete themselves another hormone, called leptin. It regulates appetite of each individual: the more you have more leptin, the appetite so your food is greater. Up to you to break this vicious circle. Reward? A refined silhouette and a perfectly shaped abdomen.

What can you do?

The first step is the hardest: Empty your bin and throw candy to the garbage.(Bravo!) Then reduce the amount of fat in the diet, not eat spicy so try to avoid ferment vegetables (cabbage, peas, pulses) and seeds (walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds) and do not forget to work your muscles : at least 400 crunches every day.

Helpful solutions

The bad news: to thin your waist, not enough just to work your abdominal muscles. It is essential to muscle toning your lower back, hold the correct position of the trunk (abdomen, back straight and slightly contracts). The good news: it is a large muscle group, strong, intense effort that can survive and recover very quickly see the results almost instantly. BREF, any form of exercise that involves contraction midpoint of the body is welcome. The most effective, however, are Pilates exercises because the muscle tone without unnecessarily strain the spine. Should not be overlooked salon treatments: termosudatie located, biostimulation muscle packing creams and lipolytic substances.

The key to success

Choose a simple and healthy diet, avoiding, if possible, pre-cooked products or fast food (contain too much fat and too many carbohydrates). Avoid foods too salty, fermented cheese, whole milk.
Eat in silence (close your mobile phone or TV or read the newspaper!), With patience, chew each bite properly and thoroughly.
Avoid light products (candy, drinks, yogurt), which slows intestinal transit and baloneaza.
Chewing gum not chewed. It’s not the healthiest way to get rid of hunger.
Do not drink anything half an hour before meals or during meals. Gastric juices must work at full capacity.
Refrain from smoking, at least one hour before and one hour after eating. Nicotine blocks the digestive secretions.
Supplements of calcium, magnesium, omega 3 have a remarkable stress. Worth trying!
Keep pace meals and strictly limit the amount of food consumed: the same amount of food, if eaten in several small meals instead of two hearty meals, cause a significant decrease in the percentage of calories turn into fat.

Nutritionists recommend about 30 minutes before running, eating food that can provide energy (eg, bars with nuts). It is indicated green tea because it contains antioxidants and caffeine, which provides adequate energy. While running you can consume half a liter of water. After about an hour after finishing running, consume products rich in vitamins. Green salad and a glass of carrot juice or orange is a reliable source for getting vitamins and minerals you need.  If you want to swim, it is recommended that the body is loaded with heavy dishes . With about 20 minutes before swimming toindicate a light snack: a cup of tea or coffee, a banana or mango. Eat one hour after the conclusion of this activity. If you practice a team sport (likefootball), indicate a diet rich in carbohydrates, necessary to maintain cardiovascular strength, but also to increase muscle protein.

        An essential component of every diet is to improve metabolic control of each individual. Preserving muscle mass and weight loss of fat mass is key in achieving this improvement in metabolic control. The fact is that muscle dictates your metabolism.People who are overweight and obese have a lot of the fat in proportion to the muscle, which can slow down metabolism and insulin resistance to support. A complete program includes as both a diet, exercise and even supplements that can help improve metabolic control. When choosing a weight loss program, diet is very important to keep looking for muscle integrity. Severe diets that shake the body, resulting in rapid weight loss, but this loss is due to muscle mass and reduce body water level, and not reduce fat.Following a weight loss program will also see a fast winning just lost weight, but fat and not muscle. Best plan ahead for those who want to lose a few pounds is a change of plan to target muscle and the fat in the body and to enhance fat loss and not muscle. However, it is important to incorporate in this program some exercise. Walking or cycling, dancing, aerobics or any other form of movement are required. First, exercise will be done 3 times a week for 10 minutes, reaching to 30-45 minutes 3 ​​to 5 times a week.

My calories calculator will tell you how many calories you burn every day based on an average level of activity. It is right, but people who use if are usually people who got a lot of fat.

When my calculator tells the results, it tells you how many calories should you eat to maintain weight. Well, who needs to maintain weight ? All want to lose weight.

This is why i’m unhappy about and i will make some changes. It should motivate people: “You need to eat 1000 calories/day to LOSE WEIGHT” not just to make them to be content with their body. Read the rest of this entry »

March 10th, 2010How i categorize the food ?


Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/thedark/public_html/calotor.com/wp-content/plugins/linkworth-wp-plugin/LinkWorth_WordPress.php on line 1272

As i said in a previous article, the nutrients found in our food are: proteins, fats, carbohydrates and alcohool. The alcohool is very easy to separate so i will not include it in my categorization.

We have proteins, which is mostly found in meat, fats which is found almost everywhere except vegetables, and arbohydrates which is sugar and bread related foods.   I will try to make a better categorization so you can understand better. Read the rest of this entry »

Usually, when you sleep your body burns about 60 calories, when you are awake, the amount burned goes to about 80 calories. Just for doing nothing, just because the body needs heat, to keep the temperature at 37 degrees celsius. When you walk, for example, you burn 120-150 calories, that means that your muscles are burning only 40-70 calories, the rest are for sitting down.

If the exercise you do is more complex, more calories you lose. The most intense activity should burn the most number of calories. But an intense exercise means that you can’t do it all the time, so the breaks doesn’t count. Let’s take sprints example, it is very very intense but how long you can sprint ? 10 seconds, and then 2 minutes break ?

People researched this and found out that the best calorie burning exercise should use many muscles in the same time and to be at an intensity level that can be sustained for about 30-60 min. Few decades ago they invented the aerobic training: while the legs are used to jump the hands are shaking in the air. To prevent getting tired, the exercise is changed every few minutes, so other muscles will take the action.

They also reveled that the best environment to burn weight is when the heart beat is between 100 and 140 beats per minute, this is exactly where the aerobic training stands. For sprint, it should go over 180 and sometimes reach over 200.

The running is an alternative to aerobic, the pulse is all right, you can keep it for hours, but when running the same muscles are used all the time which can be a pain sometimes.

The food types are: proteins, carbohydrates, fat and alcohol. Each of them have a specific role in your body. The proteins usually go to your muscles, the carbohydrates are the fuel of the body, the fat and the alcohol do not have any special use.

What you have to know is that the body consumes the carbohydrates, when the carbohydrates are lost, he transform fat and proteins into carbs for energy.

The fat will not go directly on your ass, he will be kept in the short time fuel reserves, but at the end of the day it will be deposited into fat reserves in your body. The unused fat and carbohydrates are deposited, the proteins not. The proteins will be deposited as muscles only if you do physical exercises.

The proteins and carbohydrates have about 4 calories. Fat and alcohol have about 7.
