Are Hidden Calories Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Efforts? Find Out How to Spot Them & Stop Them!

Are you dining out, or dining in? No matter where you choose to eat, don’t let hidden calories ruin your attempt at losing weight. Everyone knows that a bucket of fried chicken is not the best choice when they’re trying to achieve a healthy weight…however, would you suspect a dish called “Crispy Calamari & Veggies”? Likely not. Seafood has a reputation for being ‘better for you’ than something like beef, and hey, it said ‘veggies’ right? It’s time to take a second look at choices which may seem healthy but are really calorie-loaded.

This isn’t some article that just talks about the problem either, if you’re trying to lose weight you know there already IS a problem. What you want are solutions and EASY KEYS to help you detect which dish may be a hidden calorie bomb waiting to strike at your thighs. You can’t tell ‘just by reading’ the dish name either, even professional dietitians will still choose the wrong dish if they’re shown the name…and sometimes even the photo too!

First, you need to know the baseline of calories for your day. For an average adult, that’s about 2,000. That’ll keep you energetic, running smoothly, and not gaining weight or losing it. Some people may need more, and others may need less. Only a doctor can tell you the exact right amount for you. You burn energy all day long in your usual activities and that needs fuel no matter what. The recommended amount of fat is around 70 grams. There are some foods on some menus which may give you over 2/3 of your daily calories in just one appetizer! (and that’s not counting drinks or the main meal?what if you wanted dessert too?)

It isn’t about only eating salads or ‘nasty bland foods’ either. You don’t have to stop eating at your favorite restaurants. There are many super tasting choices out there waiting to be discovered. Some surprisingly low calorie dishes may even be on your list of likes already. First, let’s take a look at some calorie loaded dishes that hide behind healthy names:

Chicken Ranch Taco Salad ? 960 calories with 57 grams of fat
That’s over half your daily fat requirement, and nearly half your day’s calories all in 1 little salad
Crispy Calamari & Veggies ? 1,520 calories with 98 grams of fat
That’s over your daily fat requirement in just 1 appetizer and well over half your calories for the day
A triple whopper at Burger King only has 1130 calories…
Southern Fried Chicken Salad- 1,100 calories and 68 grams of fat
Better not eat any more fat grams that day…

You might be tempted to select one of them by its name, instead of something else which you might prefer…but that has a bad rap. What about these foods with the bad reputation then, let’s see how they stack up against the list above.

Full rack baby-back ribs in sauce ? 700 calories and 37 grams of fat
Deep fried mozzarella cheese sticks appetizer ? 340 calories and 20 grams of fat
6 inch roast beef sub ? 310 calories and 4.5 grams of fat

See how tricky that is? You would think a salad would be better than a *whole rack* of ribs, but calorie wise, it’s really not. Even deep fried cheese can’t out-do the calorie count of supposedly healthy sea-food.

Now that you know what kinds of foods extra calories can hide in, what are some give-aways that you can look for to spot these before you decide to eat?

Cream Sauce ? Usually found on Italian style dishes like chicken, noodles and sometimes seafood. It’s packed with calories and fat. It can “wreck” the healthiness of even lean meats or seafood when dumped all over the dish.

Breaded/Fried ? The cheese sticks are an exception to the rule. Even if it says ‘salad’ if it’s covered in fried anything, it’s usually not a good idea. This includes things with bacon, bacon sauce, and other bacon-derived food items.

Creamy Dressing ? Sneaks calories into salads. Don’t want to go with a ‘lite’ dressing? See the tip in the very next paragraph for your tasty solution!

Milk-based items ? Macchiato coffees, milk shakes, ice-cream based ‘frosties’. A lot of times, high-fat milk must be used to achieve the flavor everyone craves. Couple that with high doses of sugar and you’ve got a problem. One regular coffee could have 220 calories, and a 21 oz. Milk shake could have 770.

Cheese sauce?If it needs cheese all over it, you might want to skip it. Even if it’s broccoli! Broccoli may be healthy, but smothering it in cheese still raises the calories. A slice of cheese or a cheese stick may not be too bad but sauces are often mixed with high fat milk, or even fatty oils to keep them liquid.

Odd little culprits ? Whole dates, raisins (the fruit, dried) dishes with loads of nuts, such as pecan pies. Some nuts in a day provide healthy fats but it’s possible to over-do it. Ricotta cheese: if you’re dining out they’ll never use the ‘lite’ version and this cheese can creep into many dishes without you knowing its throwing fat around.

Soft Drinks & Smoothies ? You don’t think about drinking your calories, but they’re in these delicious beverages. Any fruit smoothie has ALL OF the calories of the original fruits that went into it. Blenders don’t remove calories, but this fact is often overlooked. Soft drinks (sodas, ‘fruit’ juices from concentrate etc) are usually high in sugar and are a sneaky way to get in more calories.

Armed with this list, you’ll know some of what to look out for at home when selecting food to prepare, and while dining out. But what if you’d still like to have some of the things on the list? There’s a great way to use some items in moderation, without losing out on the flavor you love. After all, it’s better to have some, then to allow a craving to build up into a pig-out. Plus, when the amount looks and tastes like how much you want it’s no real loss?except for the calories.

If you enjoy the flavor of creamy dressings for example, there’s no need to go with the less-tasty ‘lite’ versions when you use chia seeds. What are chia seeds? They’re a tiny seed with no flavor. Each seed is full of nutrients, but it also has a very unique property. When exposed to water or other liquids they form a gel. This gel has the ability to distribute (never dilute) the flavor of other foods.

How can you put them to work for you?
With chia gel on hand, if you mix it into higher-calorie sauces like certain BBQ sauce, creamy salad dressings, and even smoothies…they TASTE the same, but you only need HALF as much! It cuts the calories in half because you’re essentially cutting with water (water is 0 calorie) but the tasteless seeds are giving the flavors a boost so you don’t miss out. Try them in anything you want to cut down on, but not miss out on.

Even more benefits?
Absolutely. Fruit smoothies are healthy, but will pack in calories if you drink too much. When you add chia you don’t change the taste of the smoothie, but it fills you up faster so you won’t want as much. That’s because the body treats chia gel like a solid piece of food. Chia fools the stomach into thinking it’s full, when really the gel is just water. It works so well because every seed absorbs 9x its own weight in water and turns it into gel.

The seeds themselves are packed with health benefits for you too, like fiber, omega-3 oil, vitamins, minerals and even complete protein. (complete protein is what you find in meat) So not only can you get full faster on less food, but you can boost the nutrition of almost any food when you add chia seeds or chia gel to it.

With this information on your side you’ll know more of what to stay away from when trying to cut calories, and you can also see your way around dishes with tricky titles that may be hiding the fat behind a healthy name. Plus, when you want to enjoy food but get full on less, you can always reach for the chia seeds.

How Long Does a Cold Last and How to Shorten its Duration in Seven Easy Steps

Asking how long does a cold last is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string. It depends on so many factors.

So lets look at a few.

Taking suppressive drugs tends to do just that, suppress the symptoms, without healing them. This can make the cold drag on, albeit with milder symptoms. But the drugs can also knock your energy.

If you are pretty healthy, a cold will last only days and the symptoms will be mild. On the other hand, if you’re not very healthy, your cold will probably last weeks and the symptoms may be more serious, at least in the beginning.

So how healthy is healthy?

Several things contribute to your overall health.

  1. If you’re naturally positive and happy, you’ll find that you can overcome almost every ailment thrown at you.
  2. Diet plays a huge role. If you eat a lot of fast food, processed food (packets, cans, sugar, white flour, preservatives, colours, etc) you know you won’t be healthy. But neither is a typical western diet healthy. It tends to lack the right amount of fresh fruit and veggies.
  3. Exercise, even gentle, helps keep your body working as it should be.
  4. With the recent scares of skin cancer, most people now chronically lack sunshine.
  5. Sleep is often substituted for work. This is far from healthy.
  6. Few people relax enough. A day should always contain some ‘you’ time. Learn to meditate, do yoga, sit quietly, whatever you like, but learn to relax and switch off.
  7. Purchase yourself a homeopathic winter ailments kit and try using the homeopathic medicines to shorten your cold and to prevent future colds.

How long does a cold last? You choose. It’s duration is how healthy you are to begin with.

Don’t forget to take time out to resolve it. Taking a day off work in the early stage of the cold may well shorten its duration.

Look after your body, it’s the only one you have. And no-on else will.

How to Heal Open Wounds Faster – in Four Easy Steps

Learning how to heal open wounds faster may save you untold pain, embarrassment, lost revenue, missed appointments, job interviews, you name it. The list goes on.

First and most importantly, you need to take the homeopathic medicine Arnica orally. This has the potential of preventing infection, including tetanus, from occurring. It will also allay any pain. And it will speed up the healing dramatically.

The second most important step to take is to keep the wound open to the air. This may be difficult depending on the site of the wound, your occupation and whether it is bleeding. But uncover it as often and for as long as you reasonably can.

Third in importance is to use the topical spray Hypercal. This will keep the wound clean and speed up the healing. You’ll probably only be able to purchase Hypercal from homeopathic clinics or pharmacies. And often it’s only available in a cream. But the cream is not the best way to use it and is not suitable for burns. The liquid spray is the best.

If you want to know how to treat open wounds faster, you need to look to your overall health. If you’re not generally healthy, how do you expect your body to work properly?

Your immune system needs to be in top working order to deal with anything efficiently and quickly.

Eat well – lots of real food, such as fresh fruit and veggies. Eliminate or limit junk, fast or processed food.

Take some exercise regularly, preferably in the open air. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as you enjoy it. This will ensure you take it regularly.

Eliminate or limit any suppressive drugs. They all take a toll on your body’s coping mechanisms, preventing it from working the way it was intended.

With professional athletes turning to homeopathy for fast and efficient healing, you’ll be in good company.

Cold vs Swine Flu – The Differences And Their Natural Treatment

The differences of a cold vs swine flu are in how serious they are. A common cold is normally located at your head level. It doesn’t affect you systemically, so it is just a mild illness.

The swine flu, which simply has a different strain of virus to the normal flu, is more serious, as fever always accompanies the flu.

If you have a fever, it means the illness is systemic, so is more serious. But having a fever is also the body’s way of preventing a virus from taking hold. As long as you are strong enough to withstand a fever, it should never be brought down by the use of suppressive drugs.

A fever also has some form of body ache, which a cold doesn’t. Again, body aches show something systemic.

A flu can also have all or some of the normal cold symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, runny nose, headache, restlessness, stuffed up feeling, sore throat.

So the symptoms of a cold vs swine flu, or any flu come to that, is a question of location. Cold symptoms are limited to your head region. Flu symptoms are systemic, with body aches and a fever. And possibly some cold symptoms, as well.

Both cold and flu symptoms can last from a day or two to weeks, depending on how healthy you are.

What you choose for the solution of either, will determine when you get your next dose.

Treating yourself holistically will start to take you towards better overall health. Treating yourself with drugs will make you more sick overall.

Apart from eating lots of fresh fruit and veggies, getting out into the sun and exercising, as a preventer for future colds and flus, diving into the wonderful world of homeopathy and home prescribing for yourself, may open new doors for you.

A simple kit which focuses on winter aliments is not expensive. It will come with instructions. And you might find a home study course, a book or a magazine helpful, too.

5 Helpful Tips For Constipation Treatment

5 Helpful Tips for Constipation Treatment -Part 1

Got constipation? Well most of us do once in a while for some and frequently for others. In this article we’ll look at how you can get all the constipation help you’d probably need. While this is not all inclusive in itself, you can consort other sources for all the constipation help you might need. Most people who suffer from constipation will tell that it is one of the most uncomfortable experiences they’ve had. There are various reasons and causes of constipation: 1. Consumption of fast foods and foods that lack lots of fiber.

This is the single major reason behind most occurrences of constipation. Because we live in an “instant” age, fast foods have become the order of the day. People just don’t know what it is to eat healthily. As long as you can grab some sandwich, burger or fried chicken and the stomach feels full, everything’s settled. As a result, foods are not readily digested. All the fiber necessary to stimulate bowel movement are almost non-existent. 1. Inadequate fluid intake.

People don’t drink fluids these days -at least not enough to compensate for bodily needs. Hence, when the feces gets to the rectum, the little moisture remaining in it is absorbed by the rectum. Because stooling requires moisture to enable the easy passage, it becomes hard to freely pass stool. That’s why there is a lot of straining to get eliminate the waste.

1. Leading a sedentary life. People who don’t take care of themselves physically, tend to easily develop constipation as a result of the fact they are not involved in any sort of exercise. One of the very first recommendations for those who need constipation help is exercise. The fact that you move around would improve your bowel movements and hasten the relief of constipation.

4. Pregnant women also suffer from constipation as a result of a change in hormonal balance in the body and also because of the pressure of the now occupied uterus on the intestine. Since you have read some of the causes, it would be better if we moved so you can get all the constipation help you need:

1. Eat lots of FiberDietary fiber which is also known as bulk forming laxatives is gotten from the consumption of fruits and vegetables. The easiest way to incorporate this into your lifestyle is by increasing the quantity of fruits and vegetables in your meals and cutting down on the excess of dairy and meat products. In some cases however, some individuals may find it hard to cope with the bulk of fruits needed.

When this occurs, it is best that fiber supplements such as wheat bran, oat bran, psyllium seeds be added to the daily diet. To make this routine easier, when you have the itch to grab a snack, pick a fruit instead and you’re on your way to relief. The only downside to this method is if the patient has strictures and adhesions. In this circumstance, it is advisable to consult a physician before getting on in the treatment.

Also, some fibers have sugar; as a result, diabetic patients cannot take such. When this occurs, it is best that the patient gets sugar-free fibers. Fibers should not be taken in large quantities suddenly. Small quantities are best for starting. Then, it can gradually increase if the patient finds it necessary.

A space of one week is adequate for each phase of increase in fiber content. Sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, Citrucel, Konsyl Fiber, Maltsupex etc.

Finally there is a highly effective product on the market called bowtrol colon cleanse. Bowtrol colon cleanse stops constipation, prevents and reduces water retention and gives you more energy. For more information visit:

Benefits Of Soups

The diet itself is quite simple. You can eat unlimited cabbage soup for 7 days as well as fruits, baked potato for one day, 8 bananas on the 4th day, a few ounces of beef on the 5th and 6th day and brown rice on the last day.

Then remove pan from heat and stir in dill, mustard, and sugar. Add the buttermilk and cucumber. Chill thoroughly for about 2 hours (depending on your refrigerator) before serving. Garnish with parsley and serve ice cold.

Soup is a versatile meal that will please just about anyone. Kids love macaroni, and adding their favorite type to their soup is sure to please them. Adding macaroni to any healthy soup recipe is a great way to enhance the flavor of your soup.

As the body’s metabolism requires a steady intake of water in order to function effectively, dieters should always be drinking water or taking in water-rich foods to keep the body’s metabolism running at optimal speed.

While you are out and about, your soup will be happily simmering, creating a delectable bowl of comfort. This is a meal you can easily make whether you are an accomplished chef or if you only cook when absolutely necessary.

Eating low-calorie soup before a meal can help cut back on how much food and calories you eat at the meal, according to a Penn State study. The study showed that when people ate soup before their main meal, they ate about 20 percent less, compared to when they did not eat soup.

If you have the time and inclination, roasting your meat and vegetables prior to adding them to the stock can enhance the flavor of your soup.

While Progresso is pretty good, many canned soup products do contain a high degree of salt. You may be able to find low-salt lentil soups at your local health food store.

A mirepoix of onions, carrots, and celery is usually included in the making of the stock. This classic French combination of flavors adds depth to the broth. Mirepoix can be added to the stock either raw or after being roasted or saut
