Dress up traditional roast chicken breasts with a piquant spice rub and get bonus health benefits in the bargain: Chili powder contains cumin, which aids digestion and supports liver function, and cayenne pepper gives your metabolism a boost. If you’re watching your sodium intake, skip the salt and add more of the other spices called for, to taste. Serve with Honey-Orange Butternut Squash; the subtle sweetness complements the slightly spicy chicken.

This pasta tossed with sautéed mushrooms, fresh radicchio, and cheese is a quick and easy meal to prepare after you get home from work. Mushrooms are the only vegetable source of vitamin D, which is important for bone health and may ward off certain cancers. New research suggests that storing mushrooms near UV light boosts their vitamin D content, so keep an eye out for news about light-treated mushrooms—they could be the next big thing hitting your grocer’s shelves. For dessert, have some diced fruit with a dollop of Greek yogurt and honey.

How To Lose Weight. Calories Still Have A Role To Play 0

Posted on November 28, 2009 by admin

For how to lose weight, calories are unfortunately still important. You still need to reduce the amount of calories you eat each day. There are many ways of reducing them without actually counting them. What we need to know though, they still have to be reduced if we want to lose weight.

1. They have to be reduced:

The old way of energy in and energy out still holds true. If you are asking “How To Lose Weight?” Calories taken in must be less than calories used. Unfortunately there is no other way of getting rid of those excess pounds!

2. Exercise is the answer:

A very good way to aid you in your fat loss efforts is exercise. I know that many people fear and even hate exercise. This does not have to be the case. Exercise can be fun and you can fit it into your daily routine with a little imagination.

3. Moderate Exercise:

Only moderate exercise is needed to help the fat burning process. Think of ways you can fit exercise into your daily routine and try and stick to it. You need at least a half hour of cardio a day. If it is possible, walk to work, or get off the bus a stop or two earlier and walk the rest of the way. Make this a brisk walk and it will be great.

Think of other ways you can be active, always take the stairs, do your chores with a lot of energy, kick a ball with the kids, anything that will get you moving will help.

4. A Gym is always a good idea:

If you are in the position to join a gym, it is always a good idea. Working out with others serves as motivation. At a gym you will also get a scientifically worked out program for maximum benefit.

What is important though is to use more energy in order to burn fat. Always remember that moderate exercise burn more fat than when you over exercise. You do not have to push up your heart rate to more than 60% of its maximum rate.

5. Build muscle:

Muscle is any dieter’s friend. Muscle uses more energy than fat even when you are sleeping. Buy a DVD or get someone to work out a good program of resistance training to build muscle. Remember, by developing muscle you are increasing your metabolism that will help burn more extra pounds in future. This of course, makes maintaining your weight all that much easier.

Another part of muscle that is important is, you have to eat enough protein to supply your body with the necessary building blocks or you will lose muscle and your metabolism will slow down. This is one thing you do not want to happen!

6. Push up your metabolism a little more:

Another way of increasing your metabolism and aiding weight loss is by drinking lots of water. Cold water increases your metabolism as your body needs to heat it before it can use it. For this it uses extra energy in the form of calories.

Water is also important to detox and keep your cell structure healthy. If you are exercises and eating less, you will be burning a lot of fat and your body needs to get rid of all those toxins! Drink at least eight glasses of water each day.

So, in how to lose weight calories, there are more ways than just eating less. Eating right and exercising is a better idea.
