A Healthy Body: Protein & Carbs
from:High protein foods consist in whole or in part, of milk products, eggs, meats, poultry, spinach, soybean, fish, shellfish, edible crustacea e.g. shrimp, lobster, crab, etc; also less obvious sources of high protein are whole grains, rice, beans, legumes, corn, oats, peas and peanut butter.
Diets rich in high protein foods are often recommended for athletes and body builders. Protein is the building block of muscle, which is why eating a high protein diet with high protein foods, is very important for anyone looking to increase muscle or gain weight, and also is very good for converting fat to muscle. Although high protein foods are plentiful in North America, protein deficiency is surprisingly quite common.
Health
Protein is an essential nutrient that is important to our health. The average adult needs about 1 gram of protein per kilogram of bodyweight. With an eating plan that focuses on high protein foods you will not only control your protein intake with high protein foods but you will be able to quickly reach your health and fitness goals. Although soy protein is not a preferred choice for people interested in "body sculpting", it is certainly very good for good health.
Carbohydrates are the primary fuel for intense muscular efforts, and should be the cornerstone of an athlete's diet, regardless of the sport they play.
With regards to weight gain, the two most common culprits are undigested carbohydrates and saturated fat that contribute to the fat mass in the body. It is becoming popular to have diets consisting of eating less carbohydrates and more protein, but a good balance of these two is probably the best option for a healthy body.
A Healthy Body
Studies such as the one published in the International Journal of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders, conclude that diets with a high protein intake can sustain weight maintenance after weight loss in Humans. Protein requirements are greater during childhood for growth and development, pregnancy or when breast-feeding, or in cases of malnutrition, trauma, or after an operation. If you do not take in enough energy from your diet, your body will use protein from the muscle mass to meet its energy needs, and this can lead to muscle wasting over time.
Because the body is unable to store excess protein, it is broken down and converted into sugars or fatty acids. Excessive protein intake may also cause the body to lose calcium, which could lead to bone loss in the long-term.
Meat
Meats like chicken and lean cuts of beef provide a slower release of amino acids, thereby increasing muscle growth to a good degree. Meat is a great source of protein but it needs to be soft and tender for you to digest it. Red meat is often high in saturated fat, which can lead to problems of the arteries becoming clogged and hence heart problems, and it has also been shown to increase inflammation, which can cause pain and suffering; too much red meat can cause extra stress to your kidneys and liver and actually reduce your absorption of nutrients.

Diet Watch - A Top 10 program

I weighed in three days before my 32nd birthday and I was at 175.6. That is a 50 pound difference in two years.
The pictures above reflect that change. The one of me in black is from two years ago. I had just turned 30 and I weighed 225. The picture of me in red is from this past August. My husband took the picture right before we went out to celebrate my 32nd birthday. I weighed 175. Not too bad, huh? I want everyone to know that I wouldn't have gotten this far without all of the wonderful people in the Friends discussion group on Diet Watch.

Lose
Fat, Not Faith
_____________________________________
Lose Fat, Not Faith, was developed
by Jeremy Likeness. Jeremy himself was an
individual that found himself 65 lbs overweigh and a couch potato, and he mentioned
,
“That I was killing myself. “ His heartfelt resolution in his life, has become
the
answer for many. This is a realistic, no hype program. The thing that
really impresses
about Lose Fat, Not Faith, is that he deals with the issues that cause us to gain
weight
in the first place. So many systems teach you how to lose weight but don’t
change the
reason in your life that got you there in the first place. Lose Fat, Not Faith
shows you
how to have an inner confidence, and rational resolution to deal with the reason
you
gained your weight in the first place. Jeremy is dead on, with this
system.
If you find yourself eating for what seem like no reason, just to eat.
Chances are you
are emotionally eating. There is something causing to eat without your realizing
it. You need
to sincerely get this program. This will help you to deal with the real reason
for your
weight. He also deals with educating you in dealing with the bad behaviors
that you have
learned and finding alternatives.

Let's see, do you have enough space for all that has happened since I have lost my weight so far? When I started this program on May 6, 2005 I weighed 281.1 lbs. I was having severe back and knee problems to the point I was having to go to the emergency room. Now since I am a CT Tech in a hospital and work mainly out of the ER, you can imagine the last place I want to go on my time off is back to work.. haha. Well, I finally reached my bottom emotionally and decided I needed to do something about it. Technically, I qualified for the BARIATRIC surgery but having seen several friends have it and have complications from it (including one dying), I decided that as long as I can walk, then I can do something about my weight |
I knew what had worked in the past for me and realized that it was when I was living at home and my parents cooked our meals that made it so successful. I don't like to cook and it never made sense to cook for one person. I researched the internet for programs that provided my food for me. I really wanted one that had real food rather than processed food. My sister sent me your website because she had heard of it from a friend. I read and read and thought about it and came to the conclusion that this was probably the one for me. Boy was I right!!
The food is fantastic
and I love the fact that I don't have to cook or clean
up!! I can tell you that in the 1 1/2 yrs that I have been losing weight,
I haven't had problems with my knees or back, my feet and lower legs don't swell,
I am exercising and now even training for the Walt Disney Half Marathon in speed
walking! Next goal will be a mini triathlon. I have tried rock climbing...and even
made it up to the top of the wimp wall (the easiest one). It was so weird,
when I started that climb, my fat self was saying that there is no way that I can
climb it but my new skinnier self was saying yes I can because I am healthier now
and I was right. I now have men looking at me, flirting with me and that is
so foreign. I have been heavy pretty much all of my life and never really
got the guy's attention. I haven't quite figured out how to handle it yet,
but is sure is fun trying... Everyday, someone either at work or when I am
out and about, will make a comment on how great I am doing.
