Losing a Pound a Day With the Mono Diet - How to Eat Only One Type of Food to Lose Weight

Paleo Solution Diet :

Losing a pound a day with the Mono Diet may seem difficult to many, but this article will tell you how. More importantly, we will tell you how to eat only one type of food to lose weight so make sure to read the entire article.

Losing a Pound a Day With the Mono Diet - How to Eat Only One Type of Food to Lose Weight

One of the classics when it comes to being healthy and slim is losing a pound a day with the Mono Diet. Most people cannot keep up with this strategy while in fact it is so easy to follow. It is not like those complicated programs wherein they will ask you to eat various foods with specific measurements leaving you puzzled. The reason that most people do not want to try this program is that they think that they would be eating a single kind of food every day for the rest of their lives. Losing a pound a day with the Mono Diet is eating a single kind of food every meal. It does not mean that you have to eat the same foodstuff in all three meals daily. Some people suggest that raw chow will make the best choice for this kind of weight-loss program because of its higher nutritional value.

As we all know, there are three groups of foods. There are foods that are high in carbohydrates, high in protein, and those with starches. Examples of those that have high protein are eggs, cheese, eggs, meat, and fish. On the other hand, those with high carbohydrates, which are healthy, are fruits and vegetables. Lastly, those with starches are potatoes, pasta, bread, and pasta. Below is a concrete example of this program:

1. For breakfast, you can eat an apple and two bananas to give you the needed energy to last for as much as 24 hours.

2. You can eat a half-roasted chicken without the skin. Roast is better than frying chicken to avoid fattening oils sticking to the chicken.

3. Three baked potatoes will suit your evening appetite. Frying potatoes is not a good choice so it should either be roasted or baked.

Eat, Sleep and Play to Be Young and Fit

Paleo Solution Diet :

People have never been fatter, sicker and weaker than they are now. Whenever I travel to the US I am blown away at how many people are fat and grossly out of shape. Canada is getting there too but seems to be a decade behind or so. I was in Walmart here in Calgary the other day and literally became worried about Western Civilization.

Eat, Sleep and Play to Be Young and Fit

Why are fat kids drinking slurpies while their parents load the grocery cart with cheap processed poison a common site now? Obesity and diabetes are epidemic in North America. Why? Unfortunately the common response to being obese seems to be taking drugs and then as a last resort surgery. It drives me crazy!

The solution to the obesity epidemic is so simple and free that I don't understand why this is even a problem. Hey, I was fat too, and after a little reading and self searching I have never struggled with my weight again. All we have to do is look back before our world changed and conspired to make us fat and weak for profit. Look back at how people lived before being 30% body fat was considered normal.

Before the industrial revolution:

Eat
People ate unprocessed foods. They did eat a lot of grains, but their grains were actually wholesome and were eaten to fill a hungry belly more than anything else. Meat was craved, and veggies were always beside them.

Do not listen to anything you ever see on TV about food, especially supposed health food. If it comes in a wrapper and has any chemicals in it, it is not healthy or natural, despite what Kelloggs and General Mills would have you believe.

I am a big believer in the Paleo diet and as a result think you should only eat what nature has provided humans for thousands of years.

Eat This:

* natural or organic meat
* tons of veggies
* some fruit
* nuts
* natural full fat yogurt
* berries
* fish, especially fatty omega-3 fish like wild salmon

Do not eat this:

* grains
- don't believe the hype, even the most natural grains are filled with phytoestrogens and phytades which actually prevent the absorption of nutrients
* milk
- it is basically chemical sugar water now, it is so far removed from what comes out of a cow that I don't think anyone should drink it
* anything processed (in a package or wrapper)
* alcohol, obviously
* sugar
- it promotes cancer in the body and actually feeds cancer cells
* corn
- it is a grain not a veggie
- corn derivatives like high-fructose corn syrup are killing our children with obesity and as a result diabetes

I should mention that nobody is perfect when it comes to eating well, especially me. The idea is to stay as true to a natural diet as possible so when you do screw up at a party you are not going to fall into a diabetic coma.

Sleep
Before TV and computers do you know what people did when it got dark? They slept! They slept for about 10 hours a day compared to our current norm of 5-7.

In fact, Sleep is so important to weight loss and physical health that preventing it was a favorite torture method of the Soviets. Your body needs sleep to recover from damage and stress, it is how you repair yourself. Forget about late night TV and go to bed early. You will lose weight and feel better almost immediately.

Did you know that Cuban Olympic weight lifters used to sleep 9 hours a day and then nap for 3 hours? I leaned that from Dan John's site. They did this to recover from the stress of training and to keep their weight down to stay competitive in their class. I actually tried this for a few weeks a while back and never felt better. It was unreal!

Exercise/Play
Imagine a world of no cars. A world where if you needed to go across town you actually walked there, even if it took a few days. Maybe you rode a horse instead, but that is still fairly physical. Not to mention that they actually had to physically work each and every day just to survive. From hunting to building to carrying things, people burned some serious calories just living. Today people sit on their asses all day and then might hit the gym for an hour or so before going back to sitting. Unless you are moving for 8 hours a day you are sedentary, so stop thinking your 3x a week gym schedule should be getting you lean!

You need to train hard and often to really be physically fit. Unless you are an elite athlete you should vary your activities as much as possible. I recommend six days a week of good solid activity and one day a week of pure rest. Our lives are incredibly sedentary so six days a week of varied activity will not be too much as long as you are sleeping and eating correctly. Before you surf along to a website that tells you it is OK to not exercise often and you can have abs too, remember that you can make exercise fun. It doesn't have to be a chore. Here is some direction:

* Sprints, 1-2 time a week
* Lift heavy stuff, 3 time a week
* Lift light stuff for high reps, 2-3 times a week
* Long slow cardio, hiking or biking, not jogging, 1 time a week
* Play, 1-4 times a week
- sports, goof around on a jungle gym, just have fun with your workouts!
* Take the stairs
* Walk or bike to work
* Go for a walk at lunch time
* Find excuses to exercise without exercising!

To sum it up, being healthy and looking like it too is really simple.

Eat a diet consisting of natural foods that are high in nutrition and low in empty calories.

Sleep as much as possible, 10 hours is a good start. Just turn off the boob tube and go to bed! Maybe even bring your spouse with you there a little early;)

Exercise hard and often but make it fun. Join a sports team, go for hikes with your significant other, and don't be afraid to lift some iron to keep that muscle on. Vary your activities so you aren't bored and going through the motions.

In summary, do exactly the opposite of what all the fat people are doing and you will look and feel great.

The Caveman Paleolithic Diet - How to Get Healthier

Paleo Solution Diet :

From various media, we have been told that we should build our diet from carbohydrate-rich foods, cereals, wholemeal bread and pasta.Those foods are the backbone of a healthy food.

The Caveman Paleolithic Diet - How to Get Healthier

But it belongs to the point that we do not need any starchy foods. We need no extra supply of carbohydrates.

There is no one who has died because of too few carbohydrates, but there are many who have gone now because of too little fat or protein.

It is therefore quite useless to bring the body carbohydrates, the body can cope with, but we do not need.

We need fat and protein

The liver is the body can produce glucose in the body and it uses the fat and protein for this. The liver can manufacture about four cups of sugar and it is enough to meet the tissues that need it.

You can actually get by without eating a single iota of sugar or starch, but you have to have enough protein and fat.

Caveman diet

This did our ancestors in many hundreds of thousands of years. They lived by hunting and fishing and took advantage of the nuts, berries and fruit that they found.But they never ate, breakfast cereals, bread, pasta, potatoes or any other sugary foods.

Now this does not mean that you forever must avoid anything with sugar in it but when you have regained your position as a healthy man that is good values in terms of sugar in the body, so you can vary the diet a bit without body damage.

From and to help you eat more starchy foods. But it must not be staple food in your life, for when you return to the old habit and becomes round and tired etc....

The Solution

The solution is easy to give your body the nutrients it needs and then let it take care of their health improvement on their own.

Digestion is needed to break down all aspects of food into a liquid that the body can benefit from. When starch is broken down to glucose, there is a risk that blood sugar rises. If you eat a potato, it is comparable to eating half cup of sugar!

The same is true if you eat bread, waffles, cookies, pasta and rice. Carbohydrates get the body to affect insulin production and it will be a rush of insulin factory to decompose carbohydrates.

So it is a good idea to avoid these foods to return to better health and perhaps a reduced weight, allowing you to do more and find life on the bright side...

What Kind of Person Does It Take to Become a Dietician?

Paleo Solution Diet :

It takes a special kind of person to not just become a dietician, but to be successful at it. There are a great deal of different dietary paths that one can explore and choose to share with their clients. Paleo, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and countless others are all different paths one may follow on their dietary journey. Being a dietician means that you must be knowledgeable in all of these areas as diet is not a one size fits all situation.

What Kind of Person Does It Take to Become a Dietician?

Every person, healthy and sick, has a different health profile that demands different things from their diet. An effective dietician must be able to help others choose the right path for their clients based on their family history, disease profile, and personal preferences. Beyond that, there are different religious beliefs and health problems that may make a certain type of diet more beneficial for certain people. This is a key point to being a dietician. You must get to know your client and be able to pick the type of plan that is going to improve their health and also be safe for them. The best dieticians have empathy for the predicament that their clients are in. Admitting that you have health issues that need to be attended to is a difficult admission to make. Cookie cutter approaches will not work when dealing with clients who are struggling. Therefore a good dietician will have a kind heart and a good soul. They will be able to apply that empathy to develop a relationship with the client. The successful dietician will be able to transform this relationship into a success based plan for their client.

Once there is a bond of trust between the dietician and client it makes it easier to get through to a client and help them move towards making better choices for themselves. A good dietician must have an open mind. Finding a dietary solution for someone is not a one size fits all type of process. One must have the humility to admit that a path of action might not be in line with their personal beliefs or preferences. If one is a vegan they may have to admit that a meat based diet is appropriate for a client because of their unique health profile and challenges that they face. A stubborn or close minded dietician will not have their client's best interests at heart. They will end up being more interested in conveying their own beliefs and credos than in helping their client in the most effective way possible. To become a dietician and be successful at it, you'll need to be more selfless than selfish in your ways.

Are You Paying to Get Fat? What You Need to Know About Thyroid Nutrition and Emotions

Paleo Solution Diet :

As a woman, I want to look and feel great. That means having a flat stomach, firm arms (I will admit hanging arm pouches terrify me), clear skin, great hair and lots of energy to get me through the NYC summer madness of concerts, cocktails and lots of body exposure.

Are You Paying to Get Fat? What You Need to Know About Thyroid Nutrition and Emotions

Do you too? Yeah, I thought so.

Do you know women who are perpetual dieters, who spend 10-20% of their income on diets? It's kinda boring or heart breaking to hear about their next dietary quest when your secret inner voice whispers "Oh dear, I really hope this one works for ya."

Whether it is you and someone you know, I want to help you understand something: DIETS DO NOT WORK.

We lose the pounds because we deploy all sorts of tricks. The results are: deprivation of nutrients your body needs, therefore cravings kick in and you crash and binge on the 6-month mark.

70% of people who do restrictive diets put these pounds back on, and 50% of them put on even more before they started. Are you kidding me? No.

Are we paying to get fatter?

As a health and nutrition coach, I want to explain why. And most of it is not knowledge offered by Weight Watchers, Atkins, Zone, Paleo fans and the likes as they have no business (or perhaps awareness) in telling you this.

So here are the "weight loss" industry dirty secrets.

There are several major deal breakers that will sabotage your weight; addressing them is critical in weight management. You can starve yourself to 500 calories/day and still have a fatty belly. Here are two deal breakers and a glimpse at some quick solutions:

Emotions, emotions and more emotions!!!

This is a HUGE one and the most overlooked sabotaging factor in weight management, probably because it requires skills to peel off many layers to uncover why we do thing the way we do.

Let me give you an example: I recently worked with a woman who grew up in a strictly religious household and was conditioned to believe that boys and sex were "bad". As a rebellious girl, she became highly promiscuous in her early teenage years and carries that guilt with her till today. She never maintained a lower weight for longer than 3 months as her sense of guilt for being overly attractive always kicks in. This is when she goes back to binging so she can put back on that weight, make herself less attractive so her guilt was lessened.

Can you see how our emotions, "the story" many of us have would totally sabotage our efforts? So what is your story? What fear do you have? Is fear the force behind losing weight? Is losing and regaining weight a control issue for you? What negative emotions make you take action?

So what can I do?

Seek the help of a life coach, a health coach, an insightful friend who will help you identify what is your sabotaging "story". Identify it first before you go on another diet. In fact, it's very likely that this very "story" has a profound impact on many other facades of your life.

You are welcome.

Hypothyroid

What? Yes, since thyroid became my focus area, I've discovered that only half of the female population gets diagnosed with a thyroid condition. There are an estimated 27 million thyroid-compromised people in the US alone, this means 13.5 million do not know they have it. Ouch.

A slow thyroid called hypothyroid effects:

· metabolism: stubborn weight that just won't go away (right?) even though the diet and lifestyle have been the same

· nervous system: depression, foggy brain, forgetfulness

· digesting system: bloating, constipation, indigestion

· adrenal system: fatigue, moodiness.

Many, many women have a thyroid condition even though their blood work shows normal "thyroid". This is too long of a topic for this article but I would be happy to explain more.,

How to fix it?

You have these options:

· See an endocrinologist; he/she will get on hypothyroid medication that typically works for 3-6 months then the symptoms return

· Research a holistic approach of diet + movement + managing emotions and cure yourself, the way I did (watch below)

How To Speed Up Your Metabolism Today!

Paleo Solution Diet :

One of the best solutions to drop fat and lose weight is to hack into your metabolism. When you learn, comprehend and use all of the various approaches to enhance your metabolism you'll notice the benefit.

How To Speed Up Your Metabolism Today!

Those that genuinely wish to accomplish this goal must take a healthy approach. This involves correct diet, exercise routine and yes even vitamin supplements. Throughout the remainder of this post I hope to present a formula for taking your fat burning capacity to exponential levels

Enhance Your Metabolism

Green Tea Leaf - Green tea has dependably been proven to be one of the most reliable approaches to slim the fat off. Study after scientific study has confirmed this to be the case. The special factor in this highly effective potion is EGCG. Moreover green tea extract has a lot of other healthy perks.

These other perks include longer life, lower cholesterol, clearer thinking and overall well being. Although the fact that is boosts your metabolism is one of the best features, it is not the only one that is worth considering.

Cold Water - Besides the reality that the human body is predominately comprised of water, consuming it ice cold also enhances your metabolism. The reason being your body needs to go the extra mile to process the cold water and fully take it in. This creates a thermodynamic effect within the body. Although this little trick isn't life changing, accumulating a bunch of little tricks like this one will prove to be extremely powerful.

Snacks That Boost Metabolism - Probably the most prevalent healthy foods that boost the system are: acai berries, almonds, trout, strawberries, cayenne pepper and cinnamon. The more you increase in take of these dishes to your diet the greater improvements you'll find yourself having.

Quicken Metabolism Capsules - Generally you need to take your system one stage further with supplements. Personally, I prefer to use organic metabolism boosters that will take you to the next level. I won't recommend which is best to use in this post, because largely that is based on user preference, however I cannot stress enough my bias towards going natural.

It is also very important to realize that there is no such thing as a magic pill. If your supplementation does not coincide with workouts, healthy eating and over positive lifestyle then you can expect them to be largely ineffective.

Quick and Dirty Workouts - The secret to useful trainings is to make them brief, special and action packed. The more strong your workout is now, the more weight you will melt away after it's finished. In fact, you're likely to feel hyper charged and energized after your workout.

The reason that this works is because you are shocking the system. It does not have time to adapt and so it continues to burn fat after the fact. Many enthusiasts of diets like The Paleo Diet and The Warrior Diet all emphasis this type of workout.

Thyroid Development - The single most crucial gland in the human body for managing metabolism is the thyroid. It controls balance and determines whether or not to take your metabolism into gear. Men and women that have problems with thyroid matters might very well have a more tough time dropping excess pounds.

Thank goodness there are a lot of healthy treats that help thyroid functioning. Some of these meals include seafood (trout, tuna ) and nuts (almonds especially).

The material in this article is some of the most critical elements to carrying out a lifestyle for optimum fat reduction and fat burning. However, it's only information. It's up to you to actually put it to use and I sincerely hope that you do.

It Is a Science

Paleo Solution Diet :

Diet and Exercise are scientific issues, they both create biological changes in humans. Things that effect humans on a biological level are in the realm of science and medicine. The mechanisms by which diet and exercise change people are extensively studied and are readily available for examination. For example, the role of insulin in regard to fat storage and fat burning is widely known and understood. The action of insulin in regard to the 3 types of diets is essentially what distinguishes all of the thousands of "diets" in the world from each other. There is a cohesive scientific understanding about this matter. Calorie restriction diets such as Weight Watchers do not try to lower insulin levels but instead rely upon energy balance (fewer calories consumed versus calories burned) to effect weight loss.

It Is a Science

Carbohydrate restricted diets such as Atkins, The Zone, and the Paleo Diet rely upon limiting insulin levels to lower fat storage and increase fat burning to effect a net loss in fat. Diets such as Eat Stop Eat and other forms of intermittent fasting rely upon periods of simply not eating to lower insulin levels and to promote a hormonal profile that increases fat loss. The underlying science of diet is not so complex or mysterious for many people to understand. You do not need to have specific training in nutrition to have a reasonable understanding of the science involved. If you have some understanding, you are not overwhelmed by the marketing of these diets. Calorie restriction diets have notable downsides, rebound (regain of fat lost), loss of lean tissue, lowering of metabolic rate, and "diet obsession".

Carbohydrate restricted diets have downsides, creation of carbohydrate craving (binge eating of carbohydrates), lowering of metabolic rate, and a rebound tendency (less than from Calorie Restricted diets). Intermittent fasting diets also have as a downside, the discomfort symptoms from periods of fasting such as lightheadedness and irritability and hunger pains along with overeating behaviors when the fast is broken. This can result in a situation of no net energy deficit (no fat loss). Intermittent fasting does have other important health benefits besides fat loss. Armed with the above information one can make rational decisions about diet (fat loss). The body of evidence is building to create a consensus that intermittent fasting may prove to be the "solution" at the end of the trail for fat loss. Recent studies in regard to dramatic increases in hGH levels when fasting are propelling a mass reexamination of the benefits of fasting even with fat loss considerations set aside.

However, the overwhelming number of people make their diet decisions without any consideration of the above science. Failure rates have been unaffected by advances in scientific understanding. This is a problem. Health officials are reluctant to take any firm stands lest they be seen as promoting some particular business entity. The net effect has been to leave the public completely vulnerable to market manipulations. i.e. "Diet Confusion". Obesity rates have skyrocketed, obviously, the same old approaches are not working. Now, let's examine exercise.

Exercise is absolutely a medical and scientific issue. Exercise is NOT a recreational issue. Without medically sound exercise, the probability of osteoporosis, type II diabetes, joint replacement, immobility, constant pain, obesity. lowered immune response and even depression all go up. The seriousness of these maladies precludes the consideration of exercise as a simple recreational choice. Medically sound exercise is an effective method to dramatically lower the chances of having the above afflictions. The main point is that exercise and diet are way too serious an issue to be trivialized into some decision based upon "feel good" thinking. The wrong diet and exercise decisions can waste as much as 15 hours per week and still not get any significant result. As a culture, we need to replace "dong something" with doing the right thing.
