Can’t cut the calories anymore?

Can’t cut the calories anymore?

Did you know that as a society we are consuming fewer calories than 50 years ago, how-ever our waist lines continue to expand writes Dan Bennett from MBF Personal Training. How has this come about and more importantly what can we do about it to help to improve our health and reduce those expanding waist lines?

The answer to this question is that we as a society have been reducing our levels of activity and this has caused us to still be consuming more calories than we are expending. If you are not eating too much but still increasing in weight I suggest you should be looking at your energy expenditure and how you can fit into your lifestyle greater activity.

This could be

·          Start walking everyday building up from 5 minutes to 45 minutes

·          Walking the kids to school instead of driving

·          Doing more of your shopping on foot

·          Offer to take your neighbours dog for a walk around the local woods

·          Do the house work ‘at speed’

·          Two 45 minute power walks a day

·          Take an exercise class

·          Head to the gym and get a new programme to follow

Remember that you are not only improving your well being and health but could also educating your children (no matter how old) how to lead a healthier life.

The Atkins Diet: - The Pro(tiens)s and Cons

 The Atkins Diet: - The Pro(tiens)s and Cons

To say there has been a lot of discussion over the last few years over the Atkins Diet is an understatement. The diet has become so popular that it is changing the way we eat and shop. The Atkins diet is based around a large reduction in the amounts of carbohydrates that are consumed by and individual, matched by a huge increase in the protein and fat consumed. As a ‘novel’ diet it seems to have some interesting effects.

Scores of people are claiming that it has resulted in vast reductions in weight; all these people cannot be imagining that the weight is coming off, so on that front it must be working. In our short article here let’s see how this is working in regard to its benefits and its drawbacks.

The diet has been shown to have favourable affects on the blood cholesterol ratio (good and bad cholesterol) which is thought to lower the risk heart disease. It also has a positive effect on lowering the release of blood insulin after eating, which is the main effect of promoting fat (blood lipids) as its main energy source and a total reduction in calories consumed.  These last two, in my view is the underpinning to the weight loss experienced by individuals who are on the programme.

The main drawback for the Adkins diet is that nutritonalists are unsure of the long term effects of such a radical change in food groups consumed. Some of the predicted negative effects on the body include, stress on the liver and kidneys. The liver works as the main converter for excess protein to be removed in from the body in the urine. This large amount of protein conversion may result in the liver becoming over worked and stressed. The kidneys work to remove the urea (produced by the liver) from the body and here kidney stones may be produced in greater regularity. Loss of vitamins and minerals in the diet are also as concern as the body also gets these from carbohydrate rich sources (fruit, vegetables, rice pasta, and potatoes).

As with any diet that changes your normal way of eating, what happens when individuals go back to their old way of eating? Yes, the weight has come off, but if the individual does not modify their old eating regime the weight (and a bit extra) may be put back on again.

Therefore, the only way to loose weight effectively is to modify the way of eating into a lifestyle which promotes a varied, healthy eating with exercise. Whether the Adkins diet will be proved as healthy is still to be ascertained.

Eating out concepts of what to choose

 Eating out concepts of what to choose

Eating out can be a great pleasure. It can be relaxing and enjoyable with the added advantage that the shopping, preperation, cooking and clearing up are all done for you. You may eat out because it's a special occasion or just because you ahve no ffod available at home. However, in many restaurants and take aways is often too high in fat and too low in carbohydrates for your nutirtional needs. One in a while this is OK but if you eat out reguarly then you must try to be more careful. Some descriptions infer a healthier choice, but be careful of such descriptions as 'salad bar' and 'for slimmers'.

Eating out and eating on the move can be difficult. Remember that you are the customer and can often request changes in the way the food is cooked and served. This is obviously more difficult in the fast food chain restaurants with a standard menu.

IN THE TAKE AWAY

In the Burger Bar- Order a plain grilled burger. Ask for an extra bread bun. Milk shakes are generally a god choice since they are relatively high in CHO and low in fat; milk is often semi-skimmed.

In the 'Chippy'- Generally the chips are larger and lower in fat than French fries. Avoid eating lots of batter and batter bits - just eat the fish inside. Order mushy peas if they are available.

In the Pizza House- Order deep pan and 'go easy on the cheese'. Ask for extra low fat toppings such as mushrooms, peppers, onions and sweetcorn.

In the Kebab House- Avoid doner kebabs. Opt for shish kebabs and eatmore pitta bread and salad.

In the Jacket Potato Place- Jacket potatoes are always a great choice. Fill with cottage cheeze, baked beans, tuna and sweetcorn and as many other salad items as you desire.
