Does Bottled Water Play Any GOOD Role In Dieting and Weight Loss? (PART 1)
I am so happy to come your way again today – after several day of forced ‘recess’ from work. First I was tied down by other projects and secondly my PC simply won’t work for about 3 days!
I am back.
Today I want to discuss the issue of bottled water with you. This may sound funny, but I will allow you read the piece so as to allow you conclude for yourself.
Here is the 1st part for you…
-------------------
Any time the bottled water comes to my mind, I quickly relate to when I saw tennis players guzzling it down their throats between their often tension soaked matches.
I believe there is stigma about bottled water. I sometimes feel that bottled water has many stigmas with it such as it is only rich people drink it. After all I do watch all these rich and well-known guys on TV drinking bottled water.
Without any doubt, bottled water has become popular. Each time I visit the stores I always see several more bottled water brands than I can remember. Anyway, let me admit that I’ve also drank a few bottles in my day. I mostly get it when I’m far away from my home or if I’m walking out and exercising and can’t reach a water source close to me.
Are you one of those thinking that bottled water is a rip off? Well let me tell you that you’re not alone. I want to let you know that it’s indeed a total rip-off and there is nothing great about it. Off course bottled water has been so much marketed with hype and that could be considered as the ‘great’ thing about it.
They constantly bombard us with lies that it’s the best thing that we can get and that we should be drinking it. Hey - buddy don’t that these guys are in the business and are out to make money. So their only aim is for you to buy their ware - the bottled water even if when you can do without it.
Another fable is to make people believe that bottled water is better than tap water? But let me reveal to you that bottled water is just tap water. How? It’s simply filtered and purified so it does not carry same taste that the water from your tap has.
Now let me also say that for your health and well being, anything and everything will induce to drink more and more water is great for you. But you deserve to know that it’s nothing but a waste of your hard earned money. And you are not getting something that your body will jump for joy when it gets.
You must learn to watch you buy though. Some companies are known to add extra things to the bottle water they’re selling to you. Sometimes, it’s sugar or other flavorings! You know this when the water isn’t taste like pure water.
Some bottled water come from a spring or a mountain river. Do you consider this better for you? No, no and no. Although there could some minerals lacking in your tap water but the truth is that, it is just the same, except more expensive. Just as it is vital to be wiser when buying water so it must be when considering the best weight loss program...(to be continued...)
NOTE: Remember my promise to post the concluding part in a while? Yes, trust me, I will do that. Just bookmark this page and the entire resource and come back for it and more ideas.

You and Weight Loss -- What NOT To Do!
I want to invite Brad Howard to share with us five lists of weight loss factors we must know and imbibe in our quest to achieve weight loss and that great looking body shape.
Please Brad take it away from here now...
-----------------------------------
HowardWith all of the information on diet and fitness out there today, it's a wonder that anyone can get anything done. So, I've decided to help you wade through the nonsense with a list of 5 things to avoid doing like the plague.
The Un-List
1. Ditch the scale
This goes along with the one above. Learn how to use body fat calipers. If you are trying to lose fat, measure it with something that gives you an accurate measurement of the fat you are losing. A scale is a crapshoot and is the "novice" way of doing things. You don't try to figure out how much money is in your wallet by shaking it next to your ear do you?
2. Quit saying "I need to lose weight
Instead, say "I need to lose body fat." There is a huge difference between the two and only focusing on the "weight" part can get you in trouble. The unfortunate fact of the matter resides in these quick weight loss programs that advocate people losing 10 pounds in a week. Ten pounds of what? Exactly, most quick weight loss comes from water weight. You did know that didn't you?
3. Believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you read
Most of the diet "gurus" giving advice nowadays are amateur homebusiness people or supplement companies trying to make a quick buck. You can tell these people apart from the true professionals by the "pitches" that they make. If it seems quick and easy, you'll know that it's not what you should be reading.
4. Don't eat once per day
If you get hungry throughout the day, it simply means that you aren't getting enough food and you're recking your metabolism.
Unless you raise your metabolism, you're just going to spin your wheels throughout the day. Make sure to eat at least 3 times per day (with each of the 3 macronutrients in each meal).
5. Quit listening to your friend that's "dropped a few pounds
Fact: most people don't really know how they've lost weight. Furthermore, chances are, your friend has lost the pounds in the wrong way and will gain them back shortly. Watch for the rebound. Get quality advice from a professional source.
Losing weight is a simple process, but that doesn't mean it's easy. I figure that by knowing what "not to do," it will make it easier for you to get out of "analysis paralysis" and actually do something. Because, my friend, over anything else... that is the true key to a better lifestyle.
And you can take that to the bank.

Healthy Diets - Lose Weight, Live Longer and Avoid Disease
Hello for this piece I am inviting a fellow author, Sacha Tarkovsky to join us in deliberating on few points about diet. Don’t worry about eh many angles to dieting, what matter is for you to chose what will work for you and stick to it in order to milk out the absolute best results whatsoever.
Enjoy reading…
--------------------------
The diet enclosed is balanced it will help you lose weight give you more energy and is proven to help you live longer and protect you against disease and it provides a huge amount of foods you can eat so you will never be bored.
What is this healthy diet? Read on and find out.
It's the Mediterranean diet.
It is in the news again as its proven to help protect against disease and help you live longer ( due to one super oil we will discuss later) first consider the following:
In contrast to Northern Europe and North America
1. Obesity rates are significantly less.
2. People live longer in countries such as Spain Greece and Italy.
3. People have far less risk of getting cancer such as colon breast and ovarian.
The super food that has put it back in the news is:
Olive oil. Just taking a small amount of oil per day in clinical tests showed that it protects against cell damage and after just two weeks people who did not have olive oil in their diet saw a large drop in free radical damage.
Olive oil is a major part of the Mediterranean diet, but is only part of why the diet is so healthy.
Oily Fish
Another major part of the diet is oily fish such as mackerel, sardines and salmon.
Oily fish are a source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fats and the complex long chain derivatives of these fats are good for heart health due to the fish's anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory properties, which aids circulation.
The major components of the diet are:
* Moderate to high consumption of fish and poultry.
* High consumption of fruits, vegetables, breads, cereals (such as pasta, beans, nuts and seeds).
* Consumption of olive oil daily
* Moderate consumption of wine.
* Low consumption of eggs and red meat.
The Mediterranean Diet seems unusual as fat is given such weight in the diet.
It actively encourages people to eat more mono-saturated fats to become healthier. It works on the notion monounsaturated fats (such as olive oil) which balances animal fat.
Monounsaturated fats are 'good' fats which are required for the body to function at its best.
Advocates of the Mediterranean diet also stress that red wine, should be consumed frequently as it is a significant factor in reducing heart disease.
Red wine is renowned for the antioxidants contained such as bioflavonoid, which helps to eliminate bad toxins in the body.
It works!
Medical research shows how healthy it is, so consider this:
If you are a dieter you can eat a huge amount of food, never be bored and drink wine as well! Anyone who wants to live longer, protect themselves against disease and be healthier and slim should consider it.

Once again thanks.

QUESTION - What Do You Know About A Healthy Diet?
If you’ve been wondering what a healthy diet is or what does a healthy make up, I have some good answers for you today.
I am allowing a fellow author, Chris Chenoweth to share some experience with us.
Enjoy reading…
--------------------------
There is so much information about what is healthy and nutritious these days that it is very difficult to sort out the hype from the truth. Following a healthy diet can be accomplished by making some simple adjustments to your current diet.
If you think it is just too much trouble to make some simple changes to improve your family’s diet, think again. Most people do not realize the incredible impact that a healthy diet has on our bodies, making the difference between poor health and good health.
Along with regular physical activity, a healthy diet is the most important factor that determines your weight. If you are overweight or obese, your chances of developing many diseases or conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, and certain cancers, increase significantly.
EASY STEPS TO A HEALTHY DIET
Your first step to following a healthy diet is to make sure you include food from all food groups. Vegetables, fruits, whole-grains, legumes, lean proteins and low fat milk products should all be incorporated into your daily diet.
*VEGETABLES - A diet rich in fruits and vegetables can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer. It also contributes to a healthy weight, reducing your risk of obesity and the conditions associated with it. There are a multitude of vegetables to choose from, the healthiest being dark green vegetables like broccoli, lettuces, and kale, orange vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash, and red vegetables like red peppers and tomatoes.
*FRUITS - Eat a variety of fruits each day, canned, dried, fresh or frozen. Stay away from fruit juices as they can be high in sugar. (Unless you make the juice yourself.)
*WHOLE GRAINS - Choose whole grain cereals, breads, rice, and pasta. Read the food label and make sure the grain that is listed such as wheat, rice, oats or corn is referred to as WHOLE in the list of ingredients. Whole grains are an excellent source of fiber. Fiber can help reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
*LEGUMES - This class of vegetable includes beans, peas and lentils. They are low in fat, contain no cholesterol, are high in protein, and have phytochemicals, compounds that help prevent heart disease and cancer. They are also a good source of fiber. Add pinto, kidney, black and garbanzo beans, split peas and lentils to your daily diet.
*LEAN PROTEINS - Choose lean meats, poultry, and fish. Bake, broil, or grill it. Do not fry! Beans, nuts and seeds also provide protein.
*LOW-FAT MILK PRODUCTS - Eat low-fat yogurt, low-fat cheese or low-fat milk every day. Dairy products can lower your risk of diabetes and help build strong bones, reducing your risk of osteoporosis.
There are a variety of foods that should not be present in your diet except in very small amounts. These foods, such as sugars, alcohol, and some fats, contribute to diseases and poor health.
*SUGARS - Avoid foods containing sugar. You know what they are! Always check food labels to see how much sugar is present as some foods contain sugar that may surprise you.
*ALCOHOL - Avoid alcohol. If you must drink, limit intake to one drink a day. Alcohol can increase your risk of many conditions including some types of cancers.
*FATS - There are different kinds of fat in our foods. Some are detrimental to your health and others are very healthy.
1. Monounsaturated fats (olive oil, flaxseed oil, peanut oil and avocados)
2. Polyunsaturated fats (safflower, sesame, sunflower seeds)
These fats raise your good cholesterol levels. To stick to a healthy diet, choose foods with these fats.
3. Saturated fat and trans fatty acids raise your bad cholesterol levels, contributing to your risk of heart disease. Limit your intake.
Saturated fats are found in beef, veal, lamb, pork, lard, butter, cream, whole milk dairy products and can be present in processed foods like frozen dinners and some canned food. Always check food labels before purchasing.
Trans fatty acids, the kind of fats that increase the risk of heart disease, are formed during the process of creating cooking oils, shortening, and margarine and are found in commercially fried foods, some baked goods, and crackers. When checking food labels, make sure the ingredients do not include hydrogenated fats.

Following a healthy diet is a necessary step for the improved health of you and your family. It is not difficult to make the simple changes necessary to change an unhealthy diet to a healthy one. The advantages, better health, longer life, and more energy, far outweigh any inconveniences you may experience.

If you are overweight or obese, your chances of developing many diseases or conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, and certain cancers, increase significantly.
EASY STEPS TO A HEALTHY DIET
Your first step to following a healthy diet is to make sure you include food from all food groups. Vegetables, fruits, whole-grains, legumes, lean proteins and low fat milk products should all be incorporated into your daily diet.
*VEGETABLES - A diet rich in fruits and vegetables can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer. It also contributes to a healthy weight, reducing your risk of obesity and the conditions associated with it. There are a multitude of vegetables to choose from, the healthiest being dark green vegetables like broccoli, lettuces, and kale, orange vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash, and red vegetables like red peppers and tomatoes.
*FRUITS - Eat a variety of fruits each day, canned, dried, fresh or frozen. Stay away from fruit juices as they can be high in sugar. (Unless you make the juice yourself.)
*WHOLE GRAINS - Choose whole grain cereals, breads, rice, and pasta. Read the food label and make sure the grain that is listed such as wheat, rice, oats or corn is referred to as WHOLE in the list of ingredients. Whole grains are an excellent source of fiber. Fiber can help reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
*LEGUMES - This class of vegetable includes beans, peas and lentils. They are low in fat, contain no cholesterol, are high in protein, and have phytochemicals, compounds that help prevent heart disease and cancer. They are also a good source of fiber. Add pinto, kidney, black and garbanzo beans, split peas and lentils to your daily diet.
*LEAN PROTEINS - Choose lean meats, poultry, and fish. Bake, broil, or grill it. Do not fry! Beans, nuts and seeds also provide protein.
*LOW-FAT MILK PRODUCTS - Eat low-fat yogurt, low-fat cheese or low-fat milk every day. Dairy products can lower your risk of diabetes and help build strong bones, reducing your risk of osteoporosis.
There are a variety of foods that should not be present in your diet except in very small amounts. These foods, such as sugars, alcohol, and some fats, contribute to diseases and poor health.
*SUGARS - Avoid foods containing sugar. You know what they are! Always check food labels to see how much sugar is present as some foods contain sugar that may surprise you.
*ALCOHOL - Avoid alcohol. If you must drink, limit intake to one drink a day. Alcohol can increase your risk of many conditions including some types of cancers.
*FATS - There are different kinds of fat in our foods. Some are detrimental to your health and others are very healthy.
1. Monounsaturated fats (olive oil, flaxseed oil, peanut oil and avocados)
2. Polyunsaturated fats (safflower, sesame, sunflower seeds)
These fats raise your good cholesterol levels. To stick to a healthy diet, choose foods with these fats.
3. Saturated fat and trans fatty acids raise your bad cholesterol levels, contributing to your risk of heart disease. Limit your intake.
Saturated fats are found in beef, veal, lamb, pork, lard, butter, cream, whole milk dairy products and can be present in processed foods like frozen dinners and some canned food. Always check food labels before purchasing.
Trans fatty acids, the kind of fats that increase the risk of heart disease, are formed during the process of creating cooking oils, shortening, and margarine and are found in commercially fried foods, some baked goods, and crackers. When checking food labels, make sure the ingredients do not include hydrogenated fats.
Following a healthy diet is a necessary step for the improved health of you and your family. It is not difficult to make the simple changes necessary to change an unhealthy diet to a healthy one. The advantages, better health, longer life, and more energy, far outweigh any inconveniences you may experience.
