Feeding Season Has Arrived!
Lol!
November is that time of year when many festivities are about to being. SOme of my friends have just celebrated Eid, and Diwali where lots of lovely rich foods are prepared for the celebrations.
Soon we will be coming up to Thanksgiving for those of you in the USA, and then Christmas parties and the big event itself in December.
So, it's right about this time, that I go on a quick diet to lose a few pounds in preparation of gaining them back over the celebration season.
If you keep it simple and watch your portion sizes, go for walks then the pounds will stay off.
Walking in the cold is a great way to lose pounds. Your body has to burn up more energy to keep you warm, therefore more of your stored body fat is used!
Do I hear light bulbs going on... lol!
Make it fun, join in with the dancing and games, this will get the pounds shifting in a fun way.
Enjoy the partying season and watch our for more on our blog...

Diets Don't Work
Honestly, how many times have you heard that statement? The reality is, it's how you approach the thing in the first place.
As soon as you mention the word diet, it's out... you have already set yourself up on thinking that there's a load of restricted foods you can't eat. Why is this... it's about what goes in and what comes out....
By coming out, I mean calories in and calories out...
Exercise is key here. If we dont do enough, but eat too much, guess what! The weight piles on or doesn't shift.
So not only can we continue to eat the foods we eat, we have to look at the portion sizes and the calories and fat, protein, carbohydrate, salt and sugar contents.
Yes, there may be a few things we need to cut down on eating, but not necessarily cut out. Let's face it we need good and bad fats, so the myth that some foods are bad for us period, are just that.... myths. As long as we control and monitor what it is we are eating, then we can eat what we like.
I know there are mixed studies out there, but let us look at the human body, it is built in a certain way. Our digestives systems are built to work in a specific way, but the thing is we tend to overload it by eating alot of the wrong foods at the same time....
People have said that if we followed the 'cave man' diet, or the pre- 1942 world war 1 diet, that we would all be more healthy, fact is those diets were about rationing the portion size and looking at what was wholesome and provided energy for us to function on a daily basis. There were no processed foods, or sugary foods at those times, and this is the difference we face in todays times.
The fact that we have 'convenience foods', 'fast foods', foods without any nutritional value, but full of calories just the same. What you have to recognise if you wish to improve your health is that reading your food labels is key to understanding and knowing what you are putting into your mouth!
More on food labelling to come....

Merry Xmas - Hot Tips for a Low Calorie Christmas
Merry Christmas to all our LFGC Followers
Now its tempting to over eat during the season especially if you are visiting family or friends and there are lost of delicious dishes to eat. So, here are some of my handy tips that will help you keep your calories in check.
1. Drink a glass of water before you eat a meal or snack - this fills you up and therefore you will not be tempted to eat as much.
2. Eat a handful of MUFAS before you eat your main meal, things like cashews, half an avacado pear, a square of dark chocolate. This will help to burn belly fat. These items are good fats which will burn viscal fat.
3. Eat little but often, watch the portion sizes.
4. Go for a lovely winter walk after your main meal, this will not only aid indigestion but get your metabolism going.
5. Get into the festivities, join in with the kids with fun and games, burn some extra calories.
Wishing you all a Merry Xmas - Join us on our weightloss journey in January 2011 -
