7 PRINCIPLES OF HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS

When it comes to losing weight, the details don't matter much. It's the principles that count.
Every legitimate nutrition expert, whether a popular diet guru or a representative of the medical nutrition establishment, agrees that there are some fundamental principles of healthy weight loss that apply to everyone. No matter how much they are disguised, these principles are at the core of every good diet plan, be it a dietician’s plan or a bestseller’s. And nobody achieves permanent weight loss and optimal health without obeying these principles, consciously or unconsciously. While there appears to be no single right way to eat for health and weight loss (on the level of details), you need to be aware of the basic principles. This will help you avoid those diet plans that do in fact break them and choose the specific plan that is best for you. 
“It’s the people who understand the principles who do well long-term,” says Arthur Agatston. 

1. Balance 

Critics of popular diets frequently claim that such diets encourage unbalanced eating by declaring certain foods and even whole food groups off-limits. The example they almost invariably point to is the infamous cabbage soup diet. But that’s a pretty extreme example. 
What the critics overlook is the fact that the average American diet is rather unbalanced to begin with: heavy on animal foods, processed foods, fried foods, and sweets and light on fruits, vegetables and whole grains. It’s hard to find a popular diet that doesn’t encourage dieters to consume a variety of fresh, natural plant foods, and thereby support, if not a perfectly balanced diet, then at least a more balanced one. 
In Cracking the Metabolic Code, James LaValle, a pharmacist and naturopathic physician based in Cincinnati, OH, explains how nutrient imbalances of various sorts can lead to weight gain, and conversely, how improving nutrient balance can facilitate weight loss. 
To give one example, an underactive thyroid gland is a common cause of slow metabolism and, consequently, weight gain. Among the many factors that can lower thyroid function are high levels of adrenal stress hormones such as cortisol, and as LaValle points out, “Eating a lot of sugar triggers the release of adrenal hormones.” The average American diet comprises 18% sugar. The average popular diet most certainly does not! 

2. Nutrient Timing 

A spate of recent research has shown that when we eat is almost as important as what we eat with respect to optimizing our body composition. “We’ve learned that it’s essential to coordinate energy intake with energy expenditure,” explains John Ivy, Ph.D. and coauthor of Nutrient Timing (Basic Health, 2004). “Calories are put to their best possible use when they are consumed at times when there is a strong demand for them in the body.” 
Morning is a time of relatively high caloric demand. Calories consumed in the morning are more likely than calories consumed later in the day to be used for energy than stored as fat. In fact, a study from the University of Massachusetts found that those who regularly skip breakfast are 4.5 times more likely to be overweight than those who eat it most mornings. 
Eating smaller meals more frequently (five or six times a day) is another proven way to better coordinate food intake with energy needs. According to statistical data, the average American eats three large meals per day. 

3. Self-Monitoring 

Research has shown that simply paying attention to what you eat is one of the more effective ways to reduce your caloric intake. Self-monitoring strategies are a key habit among members of the National Weight Control Registry, a research pool comprising several thousand men and women who have lost an average of 66 pounds apiece and kept the weight off an average of 6 years. “They’re very conscious of their eating,” says Suzanne Phelan, Ph.D., a spokesperson for the NWCR. “About half of them report that they are still counting calories and fat grams.” 
Another useful self-monitoring habit that is common among both the NWCR subjects and those pursuing weight loss on popular diets is weighing. According to Phelan, this habit allows the subjects of her study to avoid the insidious upward creep that is the undoing of many initially successful diets. “Because they are weighing themselves as often as they do, they can catch these slips,” she says. “If they do something about it right away, they’re much more likely to be successful in the long term.” 

4. Selective Restrictions 

Just about every popular diet has a “forbidden foods” list. The specific foods and food types that make the list and how strictly they are forbidden differ from one program to the next. The Atkins diet forbids virtually all high-carbohydrate foods. The Ornish diet forbids animal foods. Peter D’Adamo’s blood type diet forbids a long laundry list of seemingly unrelated foods for each of the four basic bloods types. 
No weight loss diet can succeed without restriction of the foods that are most responsible for creating large body fat stores. A majority of mainstream nutrition experts agree that the “bad fats” found in many processed foods and animal foods and the “bad carbs” in sweets and processed foods are the primary culprits. Interestingly, nearly all of the members of the NWCR choose to restrict intake of high-fat foods. “Only seven percent are on a low-carb diet,” says Phelan. 
Mainstream nutrition experts warn against taking food restrictions too far, however. “To eliminate specific foods and food groups, especially those people enjoy, is a recipe for disaster and can lead to feelings of deprivation, not to mention nutritional imbalances,” says Elisa Zied, M.S., R.D., a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. 
James LaValle prescribes only “soft” restrictions to his clients and in the many nutrition books he’s written. “You get gurus who say, ‘You can never eat another dessert again,’” he says. “That sets up a guilt complex in people.” When the options are all or nothing, there is no happy medium between being on the diet and miserable and being off it completely. 

5. Low Caloric Density 

The concept of caloric density, or energy density, refers to the number of calories per unit volume in a given food. A food that packs a lot of calories in a small area is said to have high caloric density. Because water and dietary fiber are non-caloric, foods that contain a lot of water and/or fiber tend to have low caloric density. Generally speaking, processed foods are calorically dense, while fruits and vegetables, with their high water and fiber content, are less dense. 
Caloric density is important for those seeking to lose weight because research has shown that people tend to eat a consistent volume of food regardless of the number of calories it contains. In a Penn State study, women were fed either a high-density, medium-density, or low-density meal three times a day. The subjects in all three groups ate the same weight of food, but the women eating the high-density meals took in 30% more calories than the women eating the low-density meals. 

6. Consistency 

Healthy eating is not like a vaccine: one shot and you’re covered for life. Instead it requires a daily, lifelong commitment. There is growing evidence that the more consistent you are in your wholesome eating habits, the greater your chances of maintaining a healthy body weight. 
Again, the members of the National Weight Control Registry set an example. “One of our most recent findings is that they do maintain a very consistent eating pattern,” says Phelan. “Unlike many dieters, they tend to eat the same during the week as on the weekends. The same holds for the holidays versus the rest of the year. They tend to have a consistent eating pattern throughout the year.” 
A persistent myth of dieting is that those who achieve long-term success start off with a more moderate, slow-and-steady approach than the crash dieters who take on severe restrictions only to bail out after a few weeks or months and regain their weight. According to Phelan, there is no evidence that the long-term successes start off differently. The real difference is that they simply keep doing what they started doing! 

7. Motivation 

Why are some dieters able to maintain their healthy new lifestyle indefinitely while most others peter out after a few weeks or months? This is currently one of the hottest questions in weight loss research. As yet there is no definitive answer, but there are indications that it’s mostly about motivation. 
Certain types of triggers for weight loss diets are more likely to yield long-term success than others. For example, “One thing we’ve found is that people who have medical triggers for their weight loss are more successful in the long term than people who don’t,” says Phelan. There’s nothing like a near-death experience to keep you on the straight and narrow path of healthy eating! 
More evidence for the motivation explanation comes from the fact that just about every other explanation can be eliminated. 
It is often assumed that successful dieters have more inherent willpower. However, most members of the NWCR actually failed in several weight loss initiatives before they finally succeeded, indicating that something about their circumstances rather than their psychological makeup was the key. 
“Bad genes” that resist weight loss are also frequently blamed. And yet, says Phelan, “Many of [the NWCR members] have parents who were overweight or were overweight themselves as children, which suggests they may have a genetic predisposition to obesity, but they still manage to lose weight.” 

Finding the Perfect Fit 

Each of us is unique – metabolically, psychologically, and circumstantially. For this reason, there’s no single diet plan that works well for everyone. “Each person needs to find what works for him- or herself,” says Zied. But there are underlying principles of healthy nutrition and dieting that do apply universally. Understanding these principles is essential to finding the right plan for you.

19-YR-OLD RAPES CHICKEN TO DEATH IN ONDO

AKURE— A-19-year-old apprentice welder (names withheld) was caught today making love to a hen. The fowl reportedly died during the act.
The taboo was said to have been committed by the apprentice at about 11.20 p.m. at Continental area of Akure metropolis.
The suspect, Vanguard learnt, had committed same taboo with a goat in his home town, Afo in Ose council area of the state.
He was said to have been ex-communicated from his home town because of the offence which made him to move in with his brother in Akure.
Speaking with newsmen, the owner of fowl, Mrs Stella Akintola, who resides in the same building confirmed that the man actually made love to her chicken.
According to her, she went to bed early but was woken up by the noise coming from the chickens at the back of her room, an indication that someone was disturbing their peace.
The discovery
Akintola said she went outside only to find that the back door was still opened. According to her, she became curious and “I shouted to know who was still at the backyard only for him to appear from the corner of the house, saying he went to the toilet because he had a running stomach.”
Akintola said she was not convinced especially as she noticed that the noise from the chickens’ pen stopped abruptly.
She said she went to where the chickens were but nothing was found. “It was when I visited the toilet that I found one of the them stone dead with its feathers littering the floor,” she said.
Still unaware that the suspect was the cause of the death of the bird, Akintola said she raised an alarm only for him to confess that he was responsible for the death of the fowl.
Akintola said the suspect confessed and begged her for forgiveness, saying he would pay any amount for the dead fowl.
She said she decided not to report the matter to the police because she could not stand the rigour she would be subjected to by the police over a “minor offence.”
Report had it that there were evidence that the man actually had sex with the hen when it was examined by the owner and others living in the building.
A spirit directed me to do it —Suspect
In an interview with newsmen, the suspect, who declined to speak initially, however, said a spirit directed him to do what he did.
He said: “I was already sleeping when a spirit just came upon me and directed me to go to the back of the building. I did not know what I was doing again until when I discovered that I had slept with the hen.”
Contacted, the police image maker, Wole Ogodo, said since the matter was not reported to the police, he could not comment on it.
Ogodo noted that “it is what members of the public bring to our notice that we investigate. This is a strange occurrence if what you are telling me is the truth.”

WORLD’S MOST PIERCED MAN TURNED BACK AT DUBAI AIRPORT. SEE HIS TWEETS

Awww, not nice. Guess there are some disadvantages to being so weirdly pierced. 53year old German Rudolf Buchlolz, who is the world's most pierced man, was barred from entering Dubai on Aug. 15th and he took to twitter to share his disappointment. 


The Information Technology, IT, worker who was recognized in 2012 by the Guinness Book of Record as world's most pierced man with 435 piercings plus two horns on his forehead, was billed to make an appearance at a hotel in Dubai but on arriving the Emirate airport, he was not cleared by the immigration officers. Instead he was immediately whisked into an Istanbul flight en-route Germany. 

A spokesman for the hotel where Buchholz was scheduled to appear said its management had failed “despite all its attempts” to win permission for him to enter the emirate
Airport officials gave no reason why he was refused entry into the emirate. Rudolf who vowed never to return to Dubai, left his luggage behind in Dubai.

UMUHIMU WA TENDO LA NDOA KIAFYA


1. Tendo la ndoa ni moja kati ya mazoezi ya mwili.
Wataalamu wanasema kwamba, unapofanya tendo hilo mara tatu kwa wiki husaidia kupunguza kiasi cha mafuta mwilini na pia endapo mtu atafanya tendo mara tatu kwa wiki kwa kipindi cha mwaka mzima ni sawa na kukimbia maili 75.

2. Tendo la ndoa huongeza takriban vizalisha nguvu 150 kwa nusu saa ambayo ni sawa na kukimbia dakika 15 kiwanjani.Kuongeza mwendo wa damu

3. Tendo la ndoa husaidia kuongeza kasi ya mtiririko wa damu kwenye ubongo na sehemu nyingine ya viungo vya mwili, hii huchangia kuongeza kasi ya mapigo ya moyo na kuboresha mfumo wa upumuaji.

4. Msukumo thabiti wa damu mpya yenye oxygen na homoni zenye chembe chembe hai zinapopenya kwenye mishipa ya damu husaidia katika uunguzaji wa chakula, pia huondoa kiasi cha uchafu ambao ungesababisha mishipa na kushindwa kufanya kazi na kumfanya mwanadamu apate maumivu ya mwili.

5. Hupunguza mafuta yenye kileo (Cholesterol)Tendo la ndoa huweka sawa uwiano wa mafuta yenye kileo (Cholesterol) nzuri na cholesterol mbaya na wakati huo hupunguza kwa ujumla kiasi cha mafuta yenye kileo mwilini.

6. Kupunguza maumivuWakati wa kufanya mapenzi, homoni iitwayo oxytosin huzalishwa mwilini ambayo husababisha kuzalishwa kwa homoni iitwayo endorphin ambazo hupunguza maumivu kama vile kuvimba sehemu za viungo (arthritis) maumivu ya shingo (Whiplash) na maumivu ya kichwa.

7. Ulinzi wa tezi ya kibofu (mwanaume)Majimaji yanayozalishwa katika tezi ya kibofu (prostate) yakizidi husababisha kuleta matatizo mwilini.

8. Tendo la ndoa la mpangilio huondoa uzalishaji wa majimaji hayo yenye madhara.

9. Mabadiliko ya ghafla ya tendo la ndoa huelekea kuleta matatizo yahusianayo na tezi ya prostate.

10. Kupunguza mfadhaiko wa moyo

11. Kujitosheleza na kupumzisha mwili baada ya tendo la ndoa ni muhimu kwa kutuliza akili na kurekebisha mzunguko wa damu mwilini.

12. Watu wenye kushiriki tendo la ndoa wanatajwa kushinda mfadhaiko na kupata usingizi mnono hasa mara baada ya kumaliza kufanya mapenzi.

13. Huongeza uzalishaji wa homoni za kiume(testosterone) na za kike (Oestogen).

14. Faida nyingine inayopatika ni kuongeza uzalishaji wa homoni za kiume na za kike likiwemo suala zima la msukumo wa kufanya tendo hilo ambapo mhusika hutosheka zaidi ya yule ambaye hana mazoea ya kufanya mapenzi.

15. Hata hivyo, baadhi ya madaktari wamegundua kwamba ongezeko la homoni za kiume/ kike huweza kuwakinga wanadamu na magonjwa ya moyo.

16. Kuishi muda mrefu huku ukionekana kijanaWakati wa tendo la ndoa homoni iitwayo DHEA huzalishwa mwili mzima. Hii husaidia msisimko wa mapenzi kuongezeka.

17. Kutokana na elimu hiyo DHEA ni kemikali yenye nguvu duniani ambayo husaidia kuweka sawa kinga ya mwili, huongeza ufahamu, kuimarisha mifupa, kutengeneza na kuimarisha afya na kuimarisha mishipa ya moyo (Cardiovascular).

18. Hupunguza baridi na mafua

19. Elimu inaonesha kuwa wanaofanya tendo la ndoa mara moja au mbili kwa wiki huongeza 30% ya uzalishaji wa chembe chembe hai za mwili ziitwazo Immunogloulin A ambazo huwa na kazi ya kuulinda mwili dhidi ya magonjwa.

  Hizo ni faida chache tu za kufanya tendo la ndoa. Jambo kubwa la kuzingatia ni kuwa faida hizi hupatikana kwa ufanyaji wa mapenzi usiokuwa na hofu ya kufumaniwa au kuumbuliwa. 

Ndiyo maana nikasema ni maalum kwa wanandoa tu.



ONYO:
Weka mbali na watoto au kwa asiyekuwa mwanandoa wako.
