What is the Peter Jackson weight loss secret? The image most of us have of the Lord of the Rings movie maker is a portly, bespectacled figure reminiscent of one of his Hobbit characters.

Fast Food Candida Diet Style

Although diet and the fast food restaurant do not commonly go hand in hand, many quick food joints are providing options for the diner who seeks healthier fare. Even a person trying to follow the candida diet can enjoy a fast food meal by avoiding sugars and starches and going for the vegetables and proteins listed on the menu. Of course, in a perfect world, one would always have time for a nice, home cooked meal with plenty of fresh ingredients and whole foods. But reality is that fast food restaurants come in very handy on days when you are on the go or simply don’t have the time, energy or desire to slave in the kitchen. Fast food restaurants often get a bad rap, but just like the grocery store, most of these restaurants offer both healthy and less-than-healthy options. It is the individual’s responsibility to make the right choices, and there are plenty of meal possibilities to keep the candida dieter on track. The best game plan when considering a fast food meal is to decide which...

Recommended Nutrition and Diet For a Speed and Agility Training Program

When starting a speed and agility training program many of today’s athletes ignore one of the most important aspects of achieving desired results, and that is diet and nutrition. Too many young athletes tend to eat too much fast food and not pay attention to what they are eating throughout the day. To get the most out of a speed and agility workout the best place to start when it comes to nutrition and diet is a well balanced meal. All meals throughout the day should contain food from all four food groups. If this is not possible then make sure that throughout the day your diet has contained portions from all four food groups.  To enhance your diet to deal with the sufficiently high physical demands of sports training, which requires a high rate of energy production, you will need to increase your carbohydrate intake. Whatever sport or training you are participating in, this type of energy production can only be achieved by the breakdown of carbohydrates. This means that players sh...

Is Any Sort of Candy Allowed On The Medifast Diet?

I sometimes hear from people who are wondering if they are going to be able to eat a very specific comfort food on the Medifast diet. Sometimes, they are almost certain that their desired food isn’t going to be acceptable. One such example is candy. I might hear a comment like: “I know that the answer to this is probably no, but are you allowed to eat candy on Medifast? I have a huge weakness for candy. I don’t eat tons – just a coupe of small pieces per day – and I don’t want to give this up, although I realize that my love of candy is probably one thing that is contributing to my need to be on a diet in the first place.” You can have a very specific type of candy and still not be cheating. Medifast allows you to eat five of their prepackaged meals per day plus one meal that you make on your own. In addition to this, you are allowed to have one snack each day which consists of foods like celery, a sugar free popsicle, sugar free gelatin, pickles, or three pieces of sugar free gum or m...

How to Make a Yeast Free Taco For the Candida Diet

No matter what type of diet you are trying to follow most diets require you to give up or severely limit the foods that you love the most. The candida diet is no exception. The candida diet is the cornerstone of treatment for a condition known as candidiasis. Candidiasis is an overgrowth of typically benign yeast, candida albicans, in the digestive tract. This condition often occurs due to a variety of external factors but the main causes tend to be overuse of antibiotics, birth control, steroids and diets high in sugary and processed foods. These external factors cause an imbalance in the digestive system and the candida diet helps to restore this balance. The candida diet eliminates sugar and yeast laden foods, glutinous grains, fruit, cheese and processed foods that are thought to exacerbate candidiasis. There are many other foods that are also omitted on the diet. So is it possible to still enjoy your favorite foods when there are so many limitations on this diet? With a little cre...

The Diet Of Costa Ricans And How It Keeps Them Healthy

Located between Panama and Nicaragua in Central America, Costa Rica boasts a proud culinary heritage. Many scorn Costa Rica food selections for being high in saturated fats, but in actuality Costa Ricans are far more active than other cultures. Costa Rican’s, locally called Ticos, never eat excessively. Limiting their portions is one way they stay so healthy. Also, lunch is the most important meal of their day. In fact, like many Latin nations, businesses and schools close down for a couple of hours at lunch so that employees and students can go home and have a leisurely meal with their family. This allows both a strong focus on family life, but also on slowing down a meal. In America, a typical school lunch lasts a mere twenty minutes at most and work breaks are usually an hour tops, so many must eat at their desk or machine. A Costa Rican’s lifestyle is completely different. Costa Rica food often revolves around rice and beans, such as Gallo Pinto, a dish that translates to “Spotted ...

History of Diet Pills in the United States

Dieting and diet pills are not just a new fad. As a matter of fact, doctors have been making diet pills for nearly 100 years in the United States. Here is a brief history of diet pills in the United States. The first diet pills were created by Stanford University physicians. They contained a chemical called dinitrophenol, abbreviated DNP. This chemical involved some of the very basics of chemical and physical reactions. As you know, everything is made of moving particles. This does include food. The particles moving mean that everything is energy. DNP effects how food energy is broken down in your body. Normally, food energy is digested in your body and some of it turns into fat. However, when taking DNP food does not turn into fat but actually turns into heat and leaves your body. DNP was first sold as a dietary supplement in the 1930’s. While amphetamines had been around for several decades prior, they were first introduced to the US diet pill market in the 1950’s. Amphetamines produ...

Best Fat Loss Diet – What You Know is Hurting You

It doesn’t matter if it’s an off-season eating pattern or contest prep, some girls simply don’t like to be told how much to eat. Unless, of course, it allows them room for that deep dish pizza and hot fudge brownie covered with scoops of runny ice cream! I get it. To say it’s a challenge for you is an understatement. And no, you can’t trade an extra hour on the treadmill for the right to eat your favorite stuffed burrito at Chipolte. This isn’t about women’s rights or not being sensitive to those with eating disorders. Speaking of which, this article is not addressing those out there with bulimia or anorexia. When I use the word “addiction,” I’m not referring to an eating disorder. I’m simply referring to girls who have a severe craving for food (you know who you are). So, those of you who are suffering from said diseases need to seek out medical help. For the rest, clean out your ears and listen up. Macro This, Macro That After my last midnight howl on food addictions, I must have got...

Diet Therapy – Objectives and Treatment

Diet is called one of the most effective methods for treating any patient and even for any healthy person. A variety of alternative diets are offered for treating cancer, cardiovascular disease, and food allergies. Basically most of the diets focus on eating fresher and freshly prepared vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes. Allergy to food has become a major area of research. Diet has been strongly implicated in many forms of arthritis. Food can cause arthritis and it can also help in the cure. Many of these special diets originated from the observation that RA is not found in societies that eat a more ‘primitive’ diet. Computer Home therapy has made the PC into an excellent tool for therapy. This diet therapy program uses light and sound which means visual stimulation through the use of pictures, colors, and live imagery. These techniques have been researched over the past ten years in Israel. Objective of diet therapy To adjust the diet to the body’s ability to use certain fo...

Why Even Celebrities Endorse the South Beach Diet – A Food For Thought

The world is used to celebrity promotions, from politics, to clothing and everything in between. What is different when they promote a diet plan is that weight control is part and parcel to their careers. Most celebs need to maintain their trim, toned bodies as a part of their job. Packing on the pounds, will cause headlines proclaiming a weight gain nightmare for a starlet. Because their weight loss and fitness programs are a requirement to maintain their image, this is one endorsement where they are actually practicing what they preach. What diet is the favorite of some of the celebs? The answer is the South Beach Diet and the reason is because they experience great results. Troy Aikman (of Dallas Cowboys fame) claims, “It worked for me, I’ve lost 10 pounds. It’s been good”. The reason the South Beach Diet is the one diet plan selected by so many celebrities is because it provides quick weight loss results and promotes a lifetime of healthy eating. Outlining a plan for successfully l...
