PROGRAM WEIGHT LOSS
(My Original Blog Post: http://www.infohealthy.net/?p=334)
Losing weight for some people is the hardest thing they have ever had to do in their lives, to start something like that, the best route to take is to consult your doctor and get his input and he may refer you even farther down the weight loss road to a dietician or a nutritionist. They can help you avoid food pitfalls and misconceptions about weight loss and can help put together a plan of attack that will allow you to go after your unwanted pounds in a healthy manner.
And a lot of people will do that, take the advice of a physician or a dietician; but when it comes down to brass tacks, and things are not moving along as fast as they think they should be, or want them to....then they start thinking about the fad diets.
Most of these fad diets, or even diets that are supposedly sound; are still missing critical ingredients that would be found in a healthy weight loss program and because of that, the unhealthy plans do not work. They go against the grain of what is really a healthy plan for a person and many seem to emphasize just one or two areas of the food pyramid, not the whole pyramid.

Lose Weight After Pregnancy
(My Original Blog Post: http://www.infohealthy.net/?p=332)
Okay, Sweetie, the Pregnancy Party is over. A new day is dawning in the PostPartum World, and you have to come face to face with reality. It is time to lose that weight you put on while you were pregnant the last 9 months of your life, and spent most of it in a continuous search for something to put in your mouth. Oh yes, we've heard it all before...you were eating for two....no one cares if I gain weight while I'm pregnant, that's normal.....yup, we've heard it all. Now it's time to get in touch with your will power, because to lose weight after pregnancy is a very long row to hoe.
Now that you have been out of control for a while, it will be difficult for you to go back to a normal pattern of eating; even an eating pattern that is less than what you ate normally to try and lessen your calorie intake some, to kick start the weight loss.

TIPS OF WEIGHT LOSS
(My Original Blog Post: http://www.infohealthy.net/?p=328)
1. Snack Smart
You can help prevent overeating and maintain blood sugar levels by eating something about every three hours. Getting too hungry will backfire on your efforts to eat healthy and practice portion control. Aim for a healthful, satisfying snack, such as an apple and some reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Eating more may seem counterintuitive, but smart snacking will help you lose weight.
2.Eat More Grains and produce
Whole grain and fruits do more than provide nutrients that improve your healht and reduce disease-risk, they can also help you lose weight. they're naturally low in calories, so you can eat more of them and have less room in your diet for less- than -healthful food. plus fiber in whole grain food and produce will help you.
3. Eat enough, often enough
One of the worst ways to lose weight? Meal skipping. Many people think skipping meals is a great way to cut calories, but in the end, they fail to lose weight. You'll be more likely to overeat or even binge (when you finally do eat) if you do not eat regular meals. Plus your body may go into "starvation mode" if don't eat enough, causing you to maintain (or even gain) rather than lose weight!
4. Drink plenty of water
Water helps you lose weight in several ways: If you tend to have a problem with "water weight," drinking more water can help alleviate bloating. Replacing high-cal drinks such as soda with water cuts hundreds of calories. You shouldn't wait until you're feeling thirsty to drink water; thirst can be mistaken for hunger, causing you to overeat. Proper hydration improves your sense of well-being, which will keep up your motivation to lose weight.
5. Get moving
It is virtually impossible to lose weight and keep it off without exercising regularly. Start out today by taking a brisk walk or riding a bike. Work your way up from 10 minutes to 30-40 minutes a day, most days a week, and you could reap health benefits and weight loss results in a matter of weeks. Plus, exercise boosts your metabolism, making it even easier to lose weight.

ORGANIC FOOD
Organic foods are becoming more and more popular. Witness the incredible growth of Whole Foods, a mostly-organic grocery store in the United States. But there are some things you should know before buying organic foods.
First, "organic" isn't regulated the same across states and even guidelines by the government for what constitutes "organic food" are not clear. Just because a food product says it's organic doesn't mean the same thing across product lines. Typically, organic produce is grown without the use of pesticides and fertilizer. Organic meat may be from animals fed strict diets. Read the label carefully to find out how organic your food really is.
Although it's debatable, you might find that organic food doesn't taste as good as traditional food. This is the case in products that have lots of additives like salt. People like salt, but it's not necessarily good for you. So your organic food that isn't injected with salt and various seasonings might not taste good to you.
One problem with organic food is that it tends to cost a lot more than non-organic food. You can expect to pay a 100% premium on some organic foods.

HEALTHY SNACK
It's OK to snack. When you were growing up your parents probably got on your case for snacking. You likely snacked on unhealthy treats like potato chips and cookies. But if you make a small effort you can eat healthy snacks that taste great too. Here are some of my favorite healthy snacks:
1. Apple with peanut butter - this health snack takes just a few minutes to prepare. Slice an apple (or use a decoring tool), spread on some Jiffy and you'll be snacking in a jiffy. You'll not only get the vitamins and fiber from the apple but also the protein from the peanut butter.
2. Ants on a log - this fun and healthy snack includes celery covered with peanut butter and topped with raisins (representing the ants). Here's a fun fact: eating celery actually results in a net loss of calories. Celery has so few calories that the act of chewing it burns more calories than you take in!
3. Cereal - think cereal is only for breakfast? Many cereals are packed with vitamins and fiber and are great for snacking in the evening. Pour a small bowl of your favorite cereal and munch on it like popcorn.
4. Rice cakes - before you say "blah", rice cakes come in more than just the bland unsalted variety. You can get them with various flavors (such as cinnamon) without giving up the nutritious value.
