Organics – An Aid in Weight Loss

Ito ang mga dapat nating malaman tungkol sa organic foods at kung paano ito nakatutulong sa paglo-lose natin ng weight! πŸ˜‰ #organics #organicfoods #aidtoweightloss #weightlossjourney #roadtohealthierandfitterus

(Order 4 boxes of Lean n Green for Php1200, that’s Php200 cheaper for 2 boxes na Php700)

Many people are surprised to learn that buying organic can aid in their weight loss efforts. Organically grown foods provide a higher concentration of nutrients without added chemicals and toxins like conventionally grown foods.

Non-organic Supplements

When you take a non-organic supplement you are ingesting the pesticides, chemicals, and toxins that were used to grow that crop. Your liver must then process and remove these toxins in order to keep these chemicals from poisoning your entire system.

Your Liver and Weight Loss

Your liver is the largest fat burning organ in the body. The liver can only clean out so many toxins at a time.

When the body is overloaded with toxins, from ingesting chemically laden non organic foods, it stores these toxins as fat deposits until your body can get around to getting rid of them later.

What is a GMO?

GMO – Genetically Modified Organisms

GMO’s are plants and animals that have been genetically engineered with the DNA from different species of plants, animals, viruses, or bacteria.

Not Safe for Humans

A growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems and environmental damage.

GMOs have not been shown to be safe to eat and may have unpredictable consequences.

Scientists are worried that eating GMO foods may pass on their mutant genes to the bacteria in our digestive systems.

What about Supplements?

Most supplements on the market today are filled with in-active ingredients: Preservatives, Coloring Agents, Flavoring Agents, Binders, Disintegrates.

Tablets

Tablets need to be held together with binders so the tablet can stay together and then they must add disintegrates to help breakdown the tablet in the digestive system.

Wag nating maliitin at i-take for granted ang kakayanan ng mga organic foods. Malaki ang maitutulong nito sa ating #fitnessgoals kaya let’s start having organics na! Let’s eat organics!

What Matters The Most For Weight Loss?

Mga bessy, ito ang mga bagay na importante sa pagbabawas ng timbang. πŸ‘πŸ‘

Create a Caloric Deficit

Creating a caloric deficit will have the biggest impact on weight loss. It can be done a number of different ways, so that is why people see success with a variety of approaches.

There are many ways to practice portion control that will result in a caloric deficit. Keep in mind that calorie counting is not the only possible way to monitor your intake.

It’s also important to remember you should always set a *reasonable* deficiency to maintain your health and see the best results.

In other words, do not overly reduce your calories.

Macronutrient Intake

The second most important part of weight loss is making sure you’re getting a proper amount of each macronutrient: carbs, protein, & fats.

Getting adequate protein is especially important to maintain lean muscle mass while in a deficiency.

Nutrient Timing

While proper nutrient timing (ex: easily digested protein & carbs right after a strength workout) will help with lean muscle growth and fat loss, it has a far less significant impact than monitoring your overall macronutrient intake (ex: hitting your goal grams of protein for the whole day).

Supplements

Certain supplements have benefits for serious athletes and competitors, but they rarely make that big of a difference for weight loss for the general population.

The Scary Truth About Weight Loss And Sleep

Ano nga ba ang koneksyon ng ating pagtulog sa paglo-lose natin ng weight? πŸ€” Nandito na ang sagot sa tanong na yan! πŸ‘‡ #sleepandweightloss #sleepweightconnection #goodsleep #loseweightfast #fitnessgoals


Did You Know?

Less than 5.5 hours of sleep a night makes it 55% harder to lose weight (poor sleep causes a lower metabolic rate).

Sleeping less than 6 hours can cause you to feel up to 25% hungrier.

Sleeping just 6 hours could result in 14 lbs. of extra weight a year.

Women who slept 5 hours or . less weighed 5.4 lbs more than those who slept 7 hours.

7 out of 8 women lost between 3-15 lbs in 8 weeks just by sleeping more.

Problem: How Big is the Weight Loss Issue?

One-third of working adults in the U.S. are sleeping fewer than 6 hours per night.

1 in 4 people suffer from a sleep disorder.

25% of Americans use sleeping pills.

Diminished sleep use sleeping is more closely linked with higher BMI in women than in men.

Three Aspects of the Sleep-Weight Connection

1. Hormones: Hunger & Appetite Management

Sleeping 6 hours or less disrupts two critical hormone levels: Ghrelin and Leptin

Ghrelin:

-Spurs appetite and drives us to eat.

-Increases appetite for high-calorie foods.

-Directs fat towards the midsection of the body.

Leptin:

-Suppresses appetite.

-Low sleep suppresses leptin production, making us more likely to feel ongoing pangs of hunger.

Even a single night of sleep deprivation can elevate Ghrelin levels and reduce Leptin levels = increased appetite and hunger pangs.

2. Brain: The Sleep-Brain-Appetite Relationship

Amygdala (Reward Center):

-Governs appetite and desire for food.

-Sleep deprivation = MRI scans showing greater activity in the reward center of the brain when looking at pictures of junk food.

Frontal Lobe:

-Governs behavioral control.

-Sleep deprivation = diminished activity in the frontal lobe resulting in a brain less able to moderate influence over food decisions.

Even a single night of sleep deprivation makes fattening, high-calorie foods more attractive and at the same time interferes with the brain’s ability to override desire with rational decision-making.

3. Calories: Burning Calories While You Sleep

Your body burns the most calories during REM sleep.

Your REM sleep increases the longer you sleep.

Therefore, if you sleep less hours, you miss that prime calorie burning window by cutting off the tail end of REM (or the longest period of REM where you could burn the most calories).

Ngayon alam na natin kung bakit hindi tayo pumapayat. ‘Yun ay dahil hindi tayo nakakatulog nang maayos. Nasa maganda at maayos na pagtulog ang susi sa ating pagpayat at pagiging malusog na rin. Tara, tulog na tayo! πŸ˜„πŸ˜΄

Losing weight does not have to consist of eating nothing but a lettuce leaf. Here’s 10 tips to get you from Buddha belly to skinny minny all without dieting!

1. Slow down & time your meals

Pacing your meal triggers the body’s fullness hormone. Wolf your dinner down and the brain doesn’t have time to tell the stomach it’s full!

2. Sleep more!

Sleeping replaces idle activities e.g. watching TV with a box of chocolates! 7 hours sleep or less revs up your appetite leading to eating more.

3. Serve more fruit and veg

Fruit and veg are high in fibre and waiter content & therefore fill you up quicker.

4. Get used to loving soup!

Soup is handy at the start of a meal to curb appetite and slow eating speed.

5. Eyes on the prize

Buy clothes slightly too small and keep your eyes on the prize of fitting them!

6. Chew gum

Research has shown that chewing gum can occupy you enough to avoid the dreaded snack attack! Lethal for anyone wanting to lose weight.

7. Increase your water intake

So after you’ve put down the beer/glass of wine, why not pick up a glass of water which is both refreshing, won’t give you a hangover, and also makes you feel fuller. You have a good night, no hangover, and stay slim by avoiding the kebab shop on the way home from the pub!

8. Cut the sugar!

Replace one sugary drink/treat a day with a glass of water or savoury snack.

9. Home cook!

When you cook at home, you know exactly what is going into your food and so can make it extra low calorie or healthy. The same doesn’t apply for meals out or takeaways!

10. Enjoy yourself!

Losing weight isn’t easy. It’s even harder however if you’re hating every minute! Enjoy yourself, set small goals and don’t limit yourself to eating one lettuce leaf every three days.

Magiging effective ang mga ito kung sasamahan mo ng patience, self discipline, at self control. Kaya mo yan, mumsh! Kaya natin yan! πŸ˜‰

  • 1/4 tsp. salt,
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper,

Add chopped eggs, celery, and green onions; mix well.

Refrigerate, cover, to blend flavors. (Makes about 2 cups egg salad). Serve on wheat bread with lettuce leaves.

DINNER: Garlic Honey Ginger Glazed Salmon with Broccoli

Garlic Honey Ginger Glazed Salmon

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon filets, skin removed (about 2 lbs total),
  • 1/2 cup honey,
  • 1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce (or regular),
  • 2 teaspoons minced or chopped garlic,
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced,
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (optional for garnish:
  • chopped scallion,
  • sesame seeds,
  • sprinkle of parsley for color).

Instructions:

Place the salmon filets in a large zipped-top bag. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a medium bowl (I added a sprinkle of dried parsley for color– try chopped scallion!)

Pour half of this sauce over the salmon filets, coating them thoroughly. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350Β°F (177Β°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Line the marinated salmon filets on the baking sheet. You can hold onto this used marinade– see step 5.

Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness (about 10 minutes per 1-inch thicknessβ€” measured from the thickest part of the filet).

You can broil the salmon for the last 3 minutes for crispier edges.

Meanwhile, begin steaming the broccoli and reducing the glaze. First, the broccoli: fill a large saucepan with 1 inch of water.

If you have a steamer, place it inside. Bring water to a boil. Add the broccoli.

Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender.

Now, the glaze:

Pour the remaining, unused marinade into a small saucepan or skillet. If you want, you can add the remaining (used) marinade as well.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat low-medium and allow to simmer for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool and thicken.

Remove cooked salmon from the oven. Some of the glaze may have browned on the edges.

You can discard this.

Garnish the salmon with any of the listed options. Serve with steamed broccoli and additional glaze.

Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat to your liking.

Make ahead tip:

You can marinate the salmon up to 4 hours in advance. If needed, you can extend to 8 hours.

You can steam the broccoli and reduce the unused marinade (steps 4 and 5) ahead of time as well.
