No White Foods Diet By Mizpah Matus B. Hlth. Sc(Hons)The No White Foods Diet does not involve a specific plan but basically involves eliminating all white foods from the diet. Many celebrities including Cameron Diaz and Oprah have endorsed this diet. When combined with regular exercise and followed for a month, dieters can hope to lose between four to six pounds with this approach. No White Foods Diet Basics. White foods should be avoided completely under the premise that most of these foods contain simple carbohydrates, which increase insulin production and trigger cravings for more carbohydrates. Foods to steer clear of on this diet include white rice, white flour, sugar, and potatoes, salt and milk, although some versions of the diet do allow for the inclusion of skim milk. Anything made from white flour must also be strictly eliminated such as bread, cakes, pastries, pasta and noodles. Some proponents of the diet also advise dieters to avoid fruit juice and artificial sweeteners because these foods can cause sugar cravings. Recommended Foods. All vegetables except potato, fresh fruit, fish and seafood, lean meat, nuts, cheese, legumes, whole grain bread, whole- wheat pasta, brown rice, oatmeal, agave nectar, Splenda, olive oil.

Did you know there are foods (probably many of which you eat on a regular basis) that can actually make you feel hungrier and. I, too, am predisposed to obesity, but I'm the only person in my family who is not obese. Sample Diet Plan. Breakfast. Scrambled eggs. Saut. For many dieters, especially those who are sensitive to carbohydrates, it will help to balance their insulin levels and reduce cravings. I am still trying to deal with the pain and suffering my sister felt at the hands of her ex husband narcissist.This article described him to the The 20/20 Diet: Turn Your Weight Loss Vision into Reality is published by Bird Street Books and is available now at the following retailers: Dr. This will in some cases lead to a subsequent reduction in calorie intake because it neutralizes the excessive appetite that is related to blood sugar imbalances. However this program does not offer a complete solution to weight loss because it is still very easy to overdo calories, especially if eating a lot of high fat foods such as nuts, oils, cheese and fatty meats. Ultimately dieters will require more information than simply the color of a food, on which to judge its suitability for a weight loss program. See Also: No flour, No sugar Diet. References: Gross, L.

There’s a lot of information about narcissists available these days. Moreover, the narcissist does not have a full life because he or she shuts down a wide range of emotion. While the above information isn’t completely false (There is, in fact, a small minority of narcissistic characters that lies on the more neurotic side of the neurosis vs. Moreover, most narcissists you’ll encounter aren’t caught in a neurotic trap whereby they unwittingly deny themselves access to full life because their underlying fears and anxieties cause them to shut down their emotions. And the reason I insist that harboring all the antiquated notions I’ve just mentioned is dangerous business is because such thinking is exactly what so often leads people to get into relationships with narcissists in the first place, despite warning signs, and to remain in those relationships despite suffering emotional abuse and neglect at their hands. Now here’s another wonderful (I’m being sarcastic here) bit of advice from this same article (this tip was number 1. Tell them they’re an amazing communicator, a true marksman in the art of verbal assassination. They will not register it as an insult, and will overstep themselves socially because of their self- confidence being inflated. Then others can see them more clearly. Wow! And because they just can’t help themselves, manipulating them is easy. How wonderful and paradoxical at the same time! But don’t worry, after you’ve succeeded in making the narcissist alienate him or herself from everyone else around you, you’ll be the hero and have tons of friends and admirers! In my book In Sheep’s Clothing, I speak to the dangers of trying to out- manipulate character- impaired people of all persuasions. Manipulation is bad policy, period. And there’s a big difference between taking practical action and engaging in tactful behavior in your dealings with disturbed characters and trying to manipulate your way into a position of advantage with them. On the other hand, if the narcissist in your life is interesting or vibrant in other ways, and you do not need additional support, the friendship or relationship can work for the time being. Remembering to take care of yourself, to know, understand, and to take responsibility for securing your own needs is never bad advice. But to stay involved with a narcissist just because he or she might be “interesting or vibrant” in some ways (or, perhaps, “charming”) and because you you can get by without other emotional support is fairly risky. So look for a follow- up article on this same topic next week. I’ve seen the elite implementation of all three in working with professional athletes. In this post, we’ll explore what I refer to as the “slow- carb diet”. In the last six weeks, I have cut from about 1. This is the only diet besides the rather extreme Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD) that has produced veins across my abdomen, which is the last place I lose fat (damn you, Scandinavian genetics). Here are the four simple rules I followed. The following foods are thus prohibited, except for within 1. If you avoid eating anything white, you’ll be safe. Rule #2: Eat the same few meals over and over again. The most successful dieters, regardless of whether their goal is muscle gain or fat loss, eat the same few meals over and over again. Mix and match, constructing each meal with one from each of the three following groups: Proteins: Egg whites with one whole egg for flavor. Chicken breast or thigh. Grass- fed organic beef. Pork. Legumes: Lentils. Black beans. Pinto beans. Vegetables: Spinach. Asparagus. Peas. Mixed vegetables. Eat as much as you like of the above food items. Just remember: keep it simple. Pick three or four meals and repeat them. Almost all restaurants can give you a salad or vegetables in place of french fries or potatoes. Surprisingly, I have found Mexican food, swapping out rice for vegetables, to be one of the cuisines most conducive to the “slow carb” diet. Most people who go on “low” carbohydrate diets complain of low energy and quit, not because such diets can’t work, but because they consume insufficient calories. A 1/2 cup of rice is 3. Vegetables are not calorically dense, so it is critical that you add legumes for caloric load. Some athletes eat 6- 8x per day to break up caloric load and avoid fat gain. I think this is ridiculously inconvenient. I eat 4x per day: 1. Discovery Channel before bed. Here are some of my meals that recur again and again: Scrambled Eggology pourable egg whites with one whole egg, black beans, and microwaved mixed vegetables. Grass- fed organic beef, pinto beans, mixed vegetables, and extra guacamole (Mexican restaurant)Grass- fed organic beef (from Trader Joe’s), lentils, and mixed vegetables. Rule #3: Don’t drink calories. Drink massive quantities of water and as much unsweetened iced tea, tea, diet sodas, coffee (without white cream), or other no- calorie/low- calorie beverages as you like. Do not drink milk, normal soft drinks, or fruit juice. I’m a wine fanatic and have at least one glass of wine each evening, which I believe actually aids sports recovery and fat- loss. Recent research into resveratrol supports this. Rule #4: Take one day off per week. I recommend Saturdays as your “Dieters Gone Wild” day. I am allowed to eat whatever I want on Saturdays, and I go out of my way to eat ice cream, Snickers, Take 5, and all of my other vices in excess. I make myself a little sick and don’t want to look at any of it for the rest of the week. Paradoxically, dramatically spiking caloric intake in this way once per week increases fat loss by ensuring that your metabolic rate (thyroid function, etc.) doesn’t downregulate from extended caloric restriction. That’s right: eating pure crap can help you lose fat. Welcome to Utopia.###If you enjoyed this post, check out my latest book, The 4- Hour Body, #1 New York Times and #1 Amazon bestseller.

Peak Fitness Exercise Benefits . Mercola. Phil Campbell is a true veteran in the field of fitness with over 3. Over the years Phil has worked with 1. Phil helped me understand how to practically change my primarily cardio aerobic exercise program to one that actually increases growth hormone and provides more health benefits. You may not be aware that I first became interested in health and fitness in 1. I read Dr. Ken Cooper's book, Aerobics. In the '6. 0s, exercise was not embraced by the health and medical profession, and Dr. Cooper was the catalyst for increasing the overall awareness about exercise. I followed his aerobic program for over 4. Dr. Al Sears opened my mind to the possibility that high intensity exercise training was superior to the cardiovascular aerobic- type training I had been using for over four decades. But Phil Campbell helped me understand the connection to human growth hormones (HGH) and how to practically integrate the program. I have been doing Phil's program, referred to as . For example, long slow cardio, . Many mistakenly believe that cardio works out your heart muscle, but what you're really working is your slow twitch muscle fibers. You're not effectively engaging the anaerobic process of your heart. Fortunately Peak Fitness type exercises however, do address these fibers and metabolic systems. Traditional strength training and cardio primarily exercise your slow twitch muscle fibers. Your body kicks in these slow twitch muscles first, in an effort to not recruit your fast twitch muscles, or work your heart anaerobically. This is why you may not see results even though you spend an hour on the treadmill a few times a week – you're basically denying the natural physiology of your body by not working the other half of your muscle fibers; your fast- twitch muscles. Phil states. It doesn't work both processes of your heart muscle, aerobic process and anaerobic process. It doesn't work for your fast- twitch fiber. To really work your cardiovascular system the way you should, I'm now saying you do moderate- intensity cardio (which is still pretty intense) five days a week for 3. This is what Sprint 8 has been for years and years now. But when you work fast- twitch fiber, whether it's an NFL athlete, or me or anyone, it takes about 4. Sprint 8 is one of these programs that you really don't want to do every day . Once you hit the age of 3. This decline of HGH is part of what drives your aging process, so maintaining your HGH levels gets increasingly important with age. The longer you can keep your body producing higher levels of HGH, the longer you will likely experience more robust health and strength. Some athletes choose to inject it for this very reason, though it is a banned substance in nearly every professional sport. I do not recommend injecting HGH however, due to the potential side effects, the cost and, more importantly, it is likely to cause more long- term harm than good. Fortunately, your body produces HGH naturally when you exercise your super- fast muscle fibers during vigorous, high- intensity exercise like Peak Fitness. Phil explains. It doesn't work the anaerobic process. It only recruits your slow- twitch fibers. So those two other muscle fiber types are meant to be used to exercise is necessary to release growth hormones. When you do this – when you do Sprint 8 – it's almost like the result is screaming this: When you do this, I release this hormone that's so powerful, that if you're an Olympic athlete, your test goes positive for injecting growth hormone. That's how significant Sprint 8 is when you look at growth hormones.! This also translated to increased fat burning among the study participants. The average body fat loss was 3. Sprint 8 was designed to replicate the growth hormone production, which in the average case increases 1. Basically, Sprint 8 in this one study on middle- aged workers shows that it's twice as effective in body fat loss as injecting growth hormone. In fact, Phil points out that if you're trying to build your endurance levels, replacing tedious distance workouts with Peak Fitness is going to give you better results. Sprints 8, on the other hand, you only get an accurate recovery of a minute and a half because we're trying to multitask an aerobic workout and an anaerobic workout, where they would just look at endurance capacity. So Sprint 8 is actually much more intense than this exercise protocol. But in that protocol, they showed that you double endurance capacity three workouts a week in two weeks' time. You should feel like you couldn't possibly go on another few seconds Recover for 9. Repeat the high intensity exercise and recovery 7 more times As you can see, the entire workout is only 2. That really is a beautiful thing. And within those 2. You're really only working out intensely for four minutes. It's hard to believe if you have never done this that you can actually get that much benefit from four minutes of exercise. That's all it is. Keep in mind that you can use virtually any type of equipment you want for this – an elliptical machine, a treadmill, swimming, even sprinting outdoors (although you will need to do this very carefully to avoid injury) - - as long as you're pushing yourself as hard as you can for 3. But do be sure to stretch properly and start slowly to avoid injury. Start with two or three repetitions and work your way up, don't expect to do all eight repetitions the first time you try this, especially if you are out of shape. Phil states. As long as you can get totally exhausted in 3. If you can't go longer than 3. It has to be so intense that after 3. So instead of the 3. I really discourage people from using the treadmill because I don't believe it is ideal due to lag time to adjust intensity levels and an increased risk of falling off the equipment and injuring yourself. The elliptical is probably close to the best in my opinion. But if you don't have access to a gym or your own equipment, then you can improvise. You can use virtually any type of cardio exercise, as long as you get your knees up and your heart rate up, that's the key. I would strongly recommend that you invest in a chest strap heart rate monitor to make sure your intensity is on target. If you are able to exceed your calculative maximum heart rate, which is 2. And you really need to be accurate within a few beats per minute to get the best results. There's a big difference between 1. You need an electronic version. If funds are limited and you can't join the gym or get a piece of equipment, invest in a heart rate monitor. That's going to give you the information you need to make sure you're doing the activity properly. You Can Use Peak Fitness Principles for Strength Training, Too. Instead of using an elliptical machine three times a week, you can use strength training to get a Peak Fitness workout in too. This is another way to activate HGH while building up different areas in your muscles. The challenge of relying on any specific exercise, the elliptical or the recumbent bike, and so on is that your body adapts to that. You really want a comprehensive holistic approach for optimal benefits. Phil explains how to do this. You're applying the same principle of recruiting fast- twitch muscle fiber with strength training as you can with Sprint 8. Your body is trying to do things not to recruit fast- twitch fiber because your body thinks it's trying to help you get through all day by staying to slow- twitch fiber in the system. So if it's a push or press movement away from the center - - like the chest press, bench press, shoulder press, squat or any push or press movement away from the center of the body - - those muscles return loaded with fast- twitch fiber that a lot of times simply don't get worked. It's real simple to engage that muscle fiber. So if you come down like on a push- up or a chest press, pause and then explode out - - don't use momentum to come out - - just pause and then explode with velocity because you're getting an intensity of movement. So when you factor in a velocity of movement into that equation, you recruit fast- twitch fiber. We recommend doing that on push or press movements. It's the way to observe your body. A great example would be triceps. Triceps are just loaded with fast- twitch fiber. Triceps press for the rope, for example, is a great way to work it. You let a pause, explode. If you aren't careful, then you could suppress the stimulus and you won't get that growth hormone benefits that you would have if you have been more careful with your diet. Specifically, in order to promote HGH release, you do need to restrict sugar intake post- exercise (although carbs can benefit those more interested in fast recovery, such as professional athletes). There is a lot of research to support that, but there's also some research done by Dr. John Ivy of the University of Texas, a great researcher on a young cyclist who made recovery. They're not looking at growth hormone or maximizing growth hormone. They're trying to get to recover as quickly as possible so they can cycle several days in a row. They showed that getting a ratio of 4: 1 carbs to protein is better for recovery . If you're going after recovery, that's the best strategy . But on the other side, if your goal for most middle- aged adults and older is to maximize growth hormone to get this wonderful hormone circulating for that full two hours in the surging window for going after body fat (just about like you're doing cardio for two hours), you can do that. That, for whatever reason, just shuts down growth hormone. That's clear in the research. This is not only about longevity but the quality of your life! For more information, Phil has written a book called Ready Set Go. I strongly recommend picking up a copy of that book if you're interested in using high- intensity exercise to improve your health. How Does this Change My New Exercise Recommendations? It is important to recognize that life is a journey and we are constantly growing and learning.
