What is better to lose weight - a diet or exercise?

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Leading research shows that weight can be lost through both diet and exercise. In fact, exercise induced weight loss in pure terms has less of an effect than a diet if taken in isolation. However, the big difference is the fact that exercise burns fat yet preserves muscle mass whereas diets cause the loss of both muscle and fat- meaning that when the diet is stopped the weight is likely to return because the muscle is not there to burn energy. This is why it is so critical to have exercise as part of a weight loss regime, while continuing to eat a healthy, moderate diet. In order to burn more calories than you are putting in, you need to both exercise more and put less energy in (food!). So how much exercise do I need to keep the weight off? The latest university research in the United States (2007) shows that adult males and females should be doing at least 30 minutes of exercise per day at a moderate intensity, to maintain weight. The intensity should be in the fat burning zone (around 50% to 70% of your maximum heart rate- see earlier article titled Fat Burningâ€). **End Summary** Topics: diet]]> exercise]]> lose weight]]> how to lose weight]]> diets]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Australian Lifestyle & Fitness is an online weight loss company that creates online weight loss programs to help you lose weight .

Understanding BMI

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

When dealing with obesity, or any other kind of weight problems, certain numbers measuring the ratio of a personâ€'s weight and height will come up. The body mass index (BMI) is one of the most recognized and reliable indicators used today to identify possible weight problems. It is a scale system that applies to both men and women, regardless of age or frame size. On the other hand, when it comes to children and teens, the interpretation of BMI is both age- and sex-specific. BMI is an inexpensive and practical screening tool used to measure body fat. The simple calculations are indirect and should not be viewed as a professional diagnostic tool. If a person shows a high BMI, he or she should consult a healthcare provider for further assessment. This may include skin-fold thickness measurements, diet evaluations, physical activity, family history review, and other appropriate health screening evaluations. Using the metric system, the formula for BMI is weight (kilograms) divided by height (meters) squared. Formula: weight (kg) / [height (m)]2. Imperial system users can calculate their BMI by dividing weight in pounds (lbs) by height in inches (in) squared and then multiplied by a conversion factor of 703. **End Summary** Topics: BMI]]> BMI calculator]]> Body Mass Index]]> healthy weight]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> At Australian Lifestyle & Fitness we know that weight management and achieving a healthy BMI can often be difficult and confusing, so our goal is to give you a weight loss plan and BMI Calculator to Lose weight

Diets that work for you!

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

People today are fixated on diets, and all have their own personal reasons to show for. Some feel they are at an unhealthy weight level, and need to pay closer attention to their food consumption and exercise habits, while others, like many celebrities, are obsessed with their appearance and think they have to look thin to be fascinating and attractive. Their drive often goes too far, providing a bad example for teenagers, who may get the impression that anorexia is cool, which it is not! On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with a deep commitment if the dieters reasons are valid, which may be the case for a number of them. These people have no choice but to watch the scale, because if they dont the excess weight will affect their health badly and may even kill them. People who are at risk for, or suffer from ailments such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, osteoarthritis, and some forms of cancer need to monitor their food intake closely and usually will also have to incorporate a suitable exercise program. **End Summary** Topics: diets]]> healthy diets]]> weight loss diets]]> popular diets]]> fad diet]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> At Australian Lifestyle & Fitness we know that weight management and Diets can often be difficult and confusing, so our goal is to give you a weight loss plan and easy to follow Diets to lose help you lose weight and keep it off.

Successful Weight Loss For Life

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

There are many ways to lose weight, including a myriad of different diets, each with a specific goal. When deciding on a basic diet for your weight loss, you may find that there are several theories about what you should, and should not, eat. Indeed, your food intake will largely be determined by the diet you choose. Most popular diets will fall into one of four major categories: low fat, low carbohydrate, high protein and vegetarian. Low fat diets involve reducing your fat intake and calories. There are more than twice as many calories in fat as there are in carbohydrates or protein, and since high fat diets are linked to many diseases, a low fat regime has value even beyond weight loss. Low carb diets (also called reduced carbohydrateâ€, controlled carbohydrateâ€, or "low glycemic" diets) are eating plans that advise limiting the consumption of foods high in carbohydrates. High protein diets are often recommended by bodybuilders and nutritionists to help build muscle and lose fat. Emerging research has hinted that protein may be able to satisfy hunger better than either fats, or carbohydrates, and therefore can be part of particular weight loss plans. **End Summary** Topics: Weight loss]]> natural weight loss]]> healthy weight loss]]> BMI]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> At Australian Lifestyle & Fitness we know that Diets and weight loss can often be difficult and confusing, so our goal is to give you a weight loss plan that will make it easy to lose weight .

Focusing on a Low-GI Diet Plan

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Making positive, healthy lifestyle changes and finding effective weight loss solutions does not necessarily mean you have to cut back on food. Simply eating foods higher in soluble fiber can make a difference and many people are embracing this concept with open arms. Therefore it comes to no surprise that diets based on Low Glycemic Index have become a hot topic among celebrities, athletes and regular folks who want to lose weight, or are concerned about their health. Glycemic Index or GI is a ranking system for carbohydrates, and how quickly they will burn and metabolize in your body. It is based on their effect on blood glucose levels and compares available carbohydrates in individual foods. Subsequently, a Low Glycemic Index diet focuses on eating foods that are more slowly digested by the body. For instance, instead of eating white bread, you would eat whole wheat bread and white pasta could be served, topped with some cheese or a meat sauce, which would also slow down the digestion of carbohydrates. Following a Low-Glycemic Index diet lowers cholesterol, and clears up acne. It will help prevent macular degeneration and may decrease the risk of developing breast, colon and lung cancer. **End Summary** Topics: diets]]> low GI diets]]> low gi]]> low glycemic index]]> lose weight]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> At Australian Lifestyle & Fitness we know that losing weight and Diets can often be difficult and confusing, so our goal is to give you a weight loss plan that will make it easy to lose weight .

Healthy and Natural Weight Loss

Physicians and dieticians will confirm that losing weight is not an easy process. If it is done right, in a healthy and sustainable way, it may require eating habit changes, and it will most likely, not happen overnight. Like gaining weight, which manifests itself often gradually, a healthy weight loss should happen equally slow. Crash diets are quick fixes and usually do not keep the weight off for long.

That means, opting for proper nutrition and a sensible food intake, which includes three small main meals a day and two snacks in between.

Calorie counters keep you on track

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

When getting started with a calorie counting plan because of a weight loss program, you first need to find out what you are currently eating. Successful weight management programs often start by asking you to keep records of everything you consume, even if you plan a vegetarian diet. This can be particularly helpful in finding areas where your eating habits need to be improved. These plans challenge you to find out where you can make easy changes you can sustain, and point out where you may encounter difficulties. A few weeks with a diet journal can be a valuable experience in understanding how many calories you consume each day. Keeping track of your food intake, and watching the calorie counter is not going to make you lose weight. It only informs you about your eating habits, which will have to be modified, if you want to book results. Fitness and health experts will tell you that active women will use about 2500 calories, while men require 3000 calories a day. These numbers will fluctuate depending on age, activity level, or if a person is exercising, and how much. **End Summary** Topics: BMI]]> Body Mass Index]]> BMI Calculator]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> At Australian Lifestyle & Fitness we know that Diets and achieving a healthy BMI can often be difficult and confusing, that why we give you weight loss tools such as a Calorie Counter to make it easier to lose weight and keep it off.

BMI and its association to health risks

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

In diagnostics, Body Mass Index (BMI) is an essential value for correlating a personâ€'s height and weight with medical health risk. These assessments are quite important in todayâ€'s world, especially considering the steadily growing number of overweight people, and experts worldwide stating that these high values do not appear to be slowing down. This fact is becoming more and more alarming and gives us the forewarning that mankindâ€'s future is at stake! Body Mass Index values have to be calculated regularly and always considered when managing oneâ€'s health. BMI is widely used in health studies, because it is the only body fat index available today that can convey the risks of disease or death associated with uncontrollable weight increase. A lot of health problems can be avoided if a personâ€'s body mass remains in the â€˜normalâ€' or acceptableâ€ range. With all of todayâ€'s available technology, there is no longer an excuse not to monitor oneâ€'s body mass. For adults, the guidelines are relatively straightforward, as the BMI of any person who is not pregnant, or devastated by certain illnesses, will fall into one of these categories endorsed by authorities: - Below 18.5 means you are underweight - 18. **End Summary** Topics: BMI]]> Body Mass Index]]> BMI Calculator]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> At Australian Lifestyle & Fitness we know that Diets and achieving a healthy BMI can often be difficult and confusing, so our goal is to give you a weight loss plan that will make it easy to lose weight .

The Power of a High Protein Diet

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

High-protein diets seem to be emerging as the latest buzz in modern-day weight control news. Already favored among many athletes and body builders, they are now also increasingly growing in popularity among regular dieters. That is because losing weight can often be a very frustrating mission. Nevertheless, with the right diet it can become a goal that can be achieved without starvation, yet with surprisingly stunning end results. Losing weight can be a challenging task if approached incorrectly, or with complicated diet plans. A high protein diet is simple. All you have to do is stay away from carbohydrates and eat foods rich in protein. Protein is a vital nutrient, essential to our health. In its purest form, protein consists of chains of amino acids. There are twenty two amino acids that merge to form different proteins, and to stay healthy, eight of these must come from the foods we consume. After reading several exciting health studies and enthusiastic testimonials during your search for a great diet plan, you will easily be swept of your feet by a high protein diet. **End Summary** Topics: diets]]> high protien diets]]> low carb diets]]> healthy diets]]> diet]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> At Australian Lifestyle & Fitness we know that achieving a healthy BMI and Diets can often be difficult and confusing, so our goal is to give you a weight loss plan that will make it easy to lose weight .
