DIRTY LIE ABOUT RED MEAT REVEALED!
This is no joke. A Danish study recently found that women who ate
more butter and full-fat dairy products gained less weight around the waist
than those on a low-fat diet. And those who ate more red meat had smaller
waistlines, too. The reason? The fat and protein minimize carbohydrates and reduce
insulin resistance. (Maybe Dr. Atkins wasn’t so wrong, after all.) Read on...

How to Lose Weight Fast
If you burn 500 more calories than you eat every day for a week, you should lose about 0.5 to 1kg.
If you want to lose weight faster, you'll need to eat less and exercise more.
For instance, if you take in 1,050 to 1,200 calories a day, and exercise for one hour per day, you could lose 1.5 to 2.5kg in the first week, or more if you weigh more than 115kg. It's very important not to cut calories any further - that's dangerous.
Limiting salt and starches may also mean losing more weight at first - but that's mostly fluids, not fat.
"When you reduce sodium and cut starches, you reduce fluids and fluid retention, which can result in up to 2.5kg of fluid loss when you get started. read on...

WHY YOU JUST CAN'T LOOSE FAT
Diet and Weight Loss Tutorial
When we eat, our body converts digestible carbohydrates into blood sugar (glucose), our main source of energy. Our blood sugar level can affect how hungry and how energetic we feel, both important factors when we are watching how we eat and exercise. It also determines whether we burn fat or store it.
Our pancreas creates a hormone called insulin that transports blood sugar into our body's cells where it is used for energy. When we eat refined grains that have had most of their fiber stripped away, sugar, or other carbohydrate-rich foods that are quickly processed into blood sugar, the pancreas goes into overtime to produce the insulin necessary for all this blood sugar to be used for energy.
This insulin surge tells our body that plenty of energy is readily available and that it should stop burning fat and start storing it.
However, the greater concern with the insulin surge is not that it tells our body to start storing fat. Whatever we eat and don't burn up eventually gets turned into fat anyway.
The greater concern is that the insulin surge causes too much blood sugar to be transported out of our blood and these results in our blood sugar and insulin levels dropping below normal.Read on...
