How to lose weight effectively? 2

Posted on July 30, 2009 by Arnaud

To lose weight effectively and avoid weight regain at the end of your plan, start by asking the right questions. What are the important factors in overweight? There are many signs around us that do not lie. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, our lifestyles have changed considerably. Before the industrial revolution, 90% of the population was rural. Today, more than ¾ of the French population that lives in our cities.
Comment maigrir efficacement? But there are positives to modernity as the diversity of foods we buy now prove. It is much easier today to buy coconut milk 50 years ago. But we find a comprehensive manner, a declining quality of our food and its nutritional qualities. Prepared meals and sandwiches are commonplace for many of us. They represent a significant time savings and allow us to pursue other activities. However, it is important to eat well and understand the importance of the meal.

Formerly, the man was used to cultivate and harvest the food. Gradually we have reduced energy costs (car, transit, work in business, sitting all day ... etc). Few people today have the reflex to take the stairs instead of elevators, walking to the exit of the office rather than flowing into the subway ... etc.. Stress and fatigue accumulated during the day are often tends to push us toward the fastest way to get home.

These phenomena have a cost and consequences on our health. WHO projects that by 2015 nearly 2.3 billion people will be overweight and 700 million will be obese. When you think that today there are nearly one billion people affected by hunger in the world, it makes you think!

We will see through this blog that there are 4 key criteria in the overweight:

1. Our eating

2. Our habits of daily life

3. Genetics

4. The perception we have of ourselves and the criteria of beauty today

Starchy foods at every meal! 1

Posted on July 15, 2009 by Arnaud

Starchy foods are a key source of energy to our organization and we need to find every meal on our plates. Generally they are often appreciated (potatoes, pasta, rice, bread ... etc), but have a reputation to grow. The caloric intake remains vital and enables us to avoid excessive snacking between meals.
Unlike sweets, starches (complex carbohydrates) produce energy that is released slowly and gradually in the body.

Namely:

  • Contrary to their reputation, starches do not swell. By cons should actually pay attention to the accompanying sauces (cheese, creme fraiche, ... etc.) or how to cook. For example, the potato is very rich in complex carbohydrates will be much healthier for your body when it is cooked with steam or water rather than when we use our deep fryer or a pan full of oil.
  • Another example is the pulp. These are often associated with fatty sauces. Everything is to find recipes for your meal is a taste, without needing to use too much fat or salt sauces. You can get a little inspiration on a site such as: revenue-dietetiques.fr
  • The bread is also recommended for all meals. The varieties of bread will have different contributions nutritinonels. We recommend wholemeal bread or semi-complete.

Posted on July 8, 2009 by Arnaud

fruits et legumes What are the basic principles to keep a fine line? The first is that we will discuss the principle of 5 fruits and vegetables per day minimum.

Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber. They play an important role in preventing certain diseases like cancer, cardio-vascular diseases, obesity, diabetes ... etc..

They are also important for our balance-weight: both nutritious and low in calories.

Namely:

  • The frozen fruit and vegetables provide many benefits that fresh. However we advise you to taste seasonal produce much more tasty ...
  • A glass of fruit juice only counts as a serving if it is a pressed juice or pure juice. The beverage flavorings do so by the same virtues.
  • We consider a portion around 100 grams.

Bon Appetit! :)

3 Dairy day 1

Posted on July 8, 2009 by Arnaud

milk Dairy products account for almost all products containing milk such as yoghurt, cheese ... etc..

They are important for their intake of calcium, protein and vitamin D also

Calcium is involved among others in the formation and maintenance of bones and teeth. It will also play a role in blood clotting and maintaining blood pressure.

During meals try to vary the sources of calcium, alternating a glass of milk in the morning, a yogurt with a piece of cheese for lunch and a white cheese in the evening. Note that the goat cheese and fresh cheeses are less fat!

Namely:

  • Some products containing milk are not considered dairy products. Examples: Butter and cream products are low in calcium and high in fat.
  • Some desserts like custards or creams are not considered either as dairy products.
  • The hard cheeses are richer in calcium but also fat.
  • During childhood and adolescence, it is advised to take four dairy products per day.

Obesity and type 0

Posted on July 8, 2009 by Arnaud

In France as in the rest of Europe, obesity is often associated with women than men. So far, the explanations offered by scientists were of a hormone. A recent study published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine has shown that the nervous breakdowns could cause a disturbance of the metabolism of the person. Lows (higher among women than among men), may explain in part the influence of gender on obesity.
