Cholesterol Reducing Diet
By Vivek Sharma

These days cholesterol is becoming a real threat to the residents of countries such as United States of America, Europe and few Asian countries. The possible reason behind this fact is that here people tend to consume more meat products, which contain high cholesterol. To the contrary, people residing in other countries have low cholesterol as they mostly consume the food in their natural state. That is more of fruits and fresh vegetables teemed with large quantity of olive oil and monostaturates. These foods not only lower down the cholesterol but also keep the person away from various heart diseases. Cholesterol is nothing but a waxy substance circulating in the bloodstream, providing the required fat. It not only guards the arteries but also produce the sex hormones. It acts as a boon till its in control but once it exceeds its limit it opens the door for many coronary diseases.

Generally cholesterol reduction diet includes array of fresh fruits and green vegetables that too rich in Vitamins and minerals. Avoid the usage of oil and butter in the food instead replaces it with olive oil as it contains less fatty acids. Minimize the consumption the meat and dairy products on the daily basis, however it doesnt mean dont go out for eating. In fact choose the restaurant or place which uses less of butter and oil and cooks the food naturally. If possible avoid eating foods at fast food restaurants as they use more of processed oils and animal fat without any alternative.

Despite practicing cholesterol reduction diet and exercises if you still find no reduction in cholesterol level then you have inherited high cholesterol and week immune system from your family. But still there are many ways available to lower down cholesterol that is by eating foods having enzymes and roughage as they tend to block the cholesterol and its related activities. It is always advisable to consult a physician before jumping on to any diet or way.

Get That Diet Monkey Off Your Back!

Get That Diet Monkey Off Your Back!
By Gillian Tarawhiti

If you want to hang on to your excuses and your excess weight then stop reading now!

If however, you want to get that DIET monkey off your back (and those inches off your waist), then by all means read on.

In the past few weeks a few colleagues and I decide to start a BIGGEST LOSERS club in which we would all weigh and measure ourselves weekly (the measuring part was my idea and youll see why later). Now, no instructions were given regarding how to lose weight just the assumption that exercise would be required and that we would all be there to support each other should we falter along the way.

All great intensions but, after the first day we lost one person, the rest of us however decided to get the party started for want of a better phrase. I ascertained from a fellow biggest loser that some of our colleagues had decided to go for the quick fix of shakes and pills, whilst some others decided on the Starve Yourself Mingled with Exercise method. So, I watch in anticipation of what will unfold in the coming weeks and whether that DIET MONKEY will fall off or hold on for dear life.

As it happened, week two into our quest I went on vacation for four wonderful weeks doing what I do best, eating and sleeping, not really making any changes to my routine. Oh! Did I mention that my vacation time was during the beautiful summer Christmas period of the southern hemisphere. That means christmas yummies, day after christmas yummies, new years indulgences and the like. What a wonderful time I had. And yet I still managed to consistently loss unwanted inches despite the norm of putting on weight during this period, mostly because of my very simple GAIN BACK YOUR LIFE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM.

On return, I found that the DIET MONKEY for my fellow colleagues was indeed holding on for dear life, and not only that had grown into a GORILLA. I felt empathy for my mates watching them feeling dejected, feeling like theyve made no progress. Why you ask? Because they unfortunately fall into the 3 reason why we fail at diets FANATICAL DIETING, EMOTIONAL EATING OR CONDITIONING.

As well at this they have followed the normal DIETING mishaps of thinking that the all mighty weight scales is going to magically change its mind in dramatic numbers from day to day, week to week, hence the reason why I suggested we should measure ourselves. Basically weighing yourself in this manner only promotes a sense of FAILURE and feeling bad about yourself. You dont take criticism from other people, so why torture yourself Im here to tell you to STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP. Give yourself a break, if you feel you absolutely must weigh yourself make it every two weeks and that DIET MONKEY will definitely start to loosen its grip.

7 weeks down the track and my colleagues are rejoicing in the total amount of inches lost in comparison to minimal weight lost or gained. It is a great thing in deed to see enthusiasm back in their eyes. Watch this space I am sure it will surely be a great race to the finish especially to see if that DIET MONKEY is still hanging around.
