Losing weight requires a change in lifestyle that includes a restriction on the number of calories consumed and increasing physical activity. This often turn to diet plans too far from our food habits. The Mediterranean diet is the food that kept for several centuries the peoples of the Mediterranean seashore.

The Mediterranean diet is not uniform because there are several countries who enjoy it, giving each their peculiarities. But yes there are a number of characteristics common to all which can be summarized in a moderate intake of fat, olive oil as the main source of fat, high consumption of foods high in fiber (vegetables, fruits, vegetables ), fish and poultry as an important source of protein. As this is an eating pattern characteristic of our environment, one may ask: Eating a Mediterranean diet is a good strategy to lose weight?

Dr. Shai and colleagues have addressed this issue. This compared the evolution of body weight in three groups of patients. One, following a Mediterranean diet, another a diet low in carbohydrates (like the popular Atkins diet), and the other group a diet based on restricting the number of calories from fat. All followed the same type of diet for 24 months. Patients lost weight with the three types of diet. However, weight loss was greater with the Mediterranean diet and the low-carbohydrate versus low fat diet. Furthermore, those who formed the treatment group followed a Mediterranean diet better diet than those assigned to a diet low in carbohydrates.

Two years later, the weight loss was approximately 4.5 kg in the two most effective types of diet. One might think that this is little, however, has shown that weight loss of this magnitude can decrease the frequency of diseases like diabetes are type 2 and hypertension in people who do not suffer.

Ultimately, losing weight is essential for reducing the consumption of calories. You do not need to rely on types of diets that are far from our usual eating pattern. Small changes sustained over time are the best choice for anyone looking to lose weight.

The amount of weight you lose and the duration of the loss will depend on how well he takes the long-term changes in lifestyle habits related to nutrition and exercise. With this system you may experience a significant loss of weight, an average of 12 to 20 kilos.

The diet is low in carbohydrates and protein and fat. These two give you a full stomach so you feel less hungry and a diet of approximately 1000 kcal best can keep full. Carbohydrates means that bread, rice, pasta and potatoes for the most forbidden area.

Despite the large amount of fat in your diet will do much of your stored fat burning. Normally your body gets glucose from carbohydrates. This is your body for a relatively easy process. If no carb count and yet the body needs energy it will get from protein and fat. This is a complicated process that it takes longer before being included. This ensures a longer feel full, so what you back from looking for extra snack to go.

Guidelines for following a low carbohydrate diet

Protein: Meat contains many proteins, the best choice here is lean, white meat without fat. Fish is an even better choice. Because the protein is very stomach filling, you may not always much to eat here. Choose something you really like, without breadcrumbs. An omelet with cheese slices and vegetables are also a good choice.

Fats: Unsaturated fatty acids are good extent. Polyunsaturated this is the best choice. These are mainly in liquid fat.

Salads: Choose lettuce, radishes, mushrooms, cucumber, celery or peppers. You can then add to chicken, turkey or cheese. Tuna, shrimp and crab may also.

Vegetables: Legumes, peas and corn are unacceptable. The rest of the vegetables can be stir frying, boiling, stewing or eaten raw.

Variety: Of great importance. Be creative yourself and try new combinations.

Fruit: Not advisable in connection with the carbohydrates. Therefore there is also a multivitamin is recommended.

Calcium: If you use too little milk, this long-term adverse effects. Again, supplementation is recommended.

Besides the main meal snacks are very important. It provides a break and can give you new energy.

Diet you fall on average a kilogram per week. But in practice, this may be more. The diet is only suitable for people who have a BMI greater than 27.

Once you’re on a weight you can use the carb intake to build something. This will be the risk involved that you’ll come up to 2 kg.

You both an underactive thyroid, high blood pressure and high cholesterol with the diet.

Of course we have seen themselves as the daily menus and calculated. The calorie intake varies from 950 to 1400 kcal. Besides the daily meals contain very little fiber. Average is about 9 grams. in his diet as much as possible, you should eat unsaturated fats. Saturated fats are in fact harmful to health. If this directive is set up and 10% may be. From my calculations showed that the saturated fat content than any time over this recommendation comes from. It climbed to 24% and this is more than double.

Conclusions:
It is true that there is evidence that diets such as this and the Atkins diet for quick weight loss concerns. For many people it is very stimulating to see how fast it goes waste. In this way it is good to keep.
But more than 1 kg per week weight loss is actually not so healthy. The Protocol can make a yo-yo effect. Of course, that in the beginning the weight off faster than after a while and are also heavier people faster. But Frank says that in practice very often is. This is not the intention.
We believe this diet is not a design for a healthy lifestyle. Once you’re done following this diet you will soon fall back into your old habits. It is impossible to keep so little to eat. The daily specials are only the main meals included. This makes it difficult to determine how much you have to eat in between. It is also not so good that supplements are recommended. A good varied diet provides enough vitamins and minerals.

We believe that diets based on low carbohydrates, no healthy way of life. Carbohydrates are needed for a proper balanced diet. Your body needs carbohydrates for immediate energy for your brains, your red blood cells and your nervous system. We continue on a healthy lifestyle is the best way to a healthy weight, and here to stay. This allows you to sustain the rest of your life and basically anything you can only eat it in moderation. Of course everybody is free to choose the diet that their good looks or fun!

For Prof. Abdul Dulloo, of the University of Zurich, the machine packs because of fluctuations on the scale. Thus, dieting and regain the pounds quickly often leads to a higher weight than that of departure: the body reacts by building up reserves, because he has just experienced a period of “famine”. This useful mechanism there is still a century, playing against us now … Especially when the spiral is the yo-yo, which leads every time a little later in the overweight.

Obesity do you get?

We often speak of an epidemic of obesity. This has scientists thinking: what if the disease had an infectious origin? Because we know many viruses that cause animal weight gain importance. At the 12th European Congress on Obesity (ECO 2003), a particular DNA viruses, the Ad 36 has been implicated. Injected into chickens, mice or monkeys, it causes an accumulation of fat up to 40% extra! But this virus has been found in obese subjects. In some studies, one third of overweight people were antibodies against the infectious agent that is to say they had been in contact with this virus at least once in their life. It seems that accelerates the formation of fat cells. For cons, the modes of contamination are still mysterious. While it is clear that no one can accuse of being a virus responsible for the epidemic of obesity, it opens an interesting avenue of research, which should certainly help to better understand the mechanisms of overweight.

Mackerels of the finest fish that are caught in our region. Spits and quilled, with a blue-green brindled sheet. Some mackerel looks like a lump of pure energy: built for speed, the beak of a robber, this fish has more muscle for his size than any other animal. Scombridae are constantly pulling in large schools along the coasts of Europe, chasing young herrings and melt.

Omega-3
Belong to the family of the Tuna, the large migratory fish. They are thus quite different in construction than the so called minnows, who lead a quieter life at the bottom of the sea. Scombroidei have dark meat with red blood and a greater amount of fat as a useful energy reserve. Unsaturated fat that is bursting with omega-3 fatty acids, where today in the health education so enthusiastic about doing. The fat we find mostly just below the skin.

Mackerel is very tasty raw, provided that it is spring fresh. To enjoy raw mackerel, you take off the two fillets and cut you in not to cross that thin slices. The sheet allows you to simply, it is beautiful, very thin and bears no scales.  so you eat raw, marinated in lemon juice and some freshly ground pepper. Either serve them at the Japanese way, like sashimi, with a dipje of salt (Japanese) soy sauce and wasabi a tower, like those green mustard paste, made of a kind oriental horseradish. You can find wasabi in the oriental supermarket or off-the-ready in tube form, either in the form of a powder that with some water to mix to a paste as thick as mustard. Divine all good.

Recently, health authorities have initiated a message to warn the public against products containing Acai, a fruit (a berry) with antioxidant properties, which contains “sildenafil”, a drug solution used to treat disorders erection, and can cause serious side effects …

These last few years, super fruits have emerged on the market, including the açai berry. If the bay is considered useful for slimming properties and to combat certain effects of aging, among others, should know that most products sold on the Internet, if not completely misleading in their composition (0% of actual content in Acai), are the vast majority of them a percentage of active ingredients so small they are insignificant, and therefore completely ineffective.

However, this bay comes from the Amazon, is one of the fruits richest in Omega, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. More and more brands incorporate additional açai in their drinks or cosmetic products.

On December 8 was published a list of illegal products and fraudulent claims about their content Acaï. In these were brands include: Anti-Aging Acai Berry Weight Loss Vitalac, Brazilian Guarana Blast Pure Anti-Aging Vital Ground V, Muscle Mass and Dietary Supplement Acai Power Blast.

Most of these products are sold and available via internet, hence the warning by the authorities is aimed at all countries.

The component of the Acai sildenafil, better known as Viagra, when taken together with other drug solutions, can cause brownouts. Sildenafil is dangerous for people with heart problems, since voltage changes, and therefore can cause heart attacks.

We see that the acai berries are not a benign product, and the enthusiasm of the general public is not without posing risk to health when consumed in large quantities. On the other hand, the probability of falling on fraudulent products, including Internet, surfing the wave of popularity of this fruit is large enough to be wary of the flashy ads and promises illusory!
