As soon as you get your normal weight, stop dieting and just lead a healthy way of life maintaining your normal weight.

Your Height (in centimeters) - 100 = Your Normal Weight (in kilograms).

170cm -100 = 70 kg

Now calculate your IDEAL weight.

For women: Your Normal Weight - 15% of it = Your Ideal Weight

For men: Your Normal Weight - 10% of it = Your Ideal Weight

Grapefruit and Hard Boiled Egg Diet

Grapefruit

This diet is a classic mono-diet with eggs and citrus fruits combination.

The general scheme: eat 7 hard boiled eggs (sometimes only egg-white) and 7 grapefruits (sometimes oranges) during a day with 1,5 hour intervals.

Dieting 1 week you can lose 7 kg of fat.

ATTENTION: Don`t diet more than 1 week. One week is the maximum duration of this diet!  The best solution is to use this egg and grapefruit combination as the replacement of only one food intake during the day.

Do not forget to drink water (2-3 liters during the day). Supplement your diet with sport activities.

Egg – is an excellent source of vitamins, essential amino acids, fats and mineral matters. However, it is the yolk that contains the major part of all these useful matters. That is why you should eat some raw yolks a day in order to avoid the deficiency of nutritive material.

As far as cholesterol is concerned, one egg usually contains about 300mg of cholesterol. And our daily norm is 500mg. However, do not forget that our body assimilates only 2% of this necessary material from the external sources. That is why several yolks a day cannot increase your level of cholesterol too much.

Grapefruit - is an excellent low-calorie source of vitamin C as well as any other citrus fruits.

Thus, the combination of eggs and grapefruits (oranges, tangerines) is a great natural vitamin-mineral complex with low richness, low calorie content, substantial and palatable.

Drinking Too Much Water after Meal Results in Overweight

Water

This opinion is incorrect.

Of course, sweet drinks such as pepsi, cola, soda or fruit juice can make us put on weight. Water does not contain calories but meal washed down with water  “passes through” easier and desire to eat more appears again.

Our organism needs 1,5 - 2 litres of water a day. But be careful not to make water your enemy!

Drink it BEFORE your meal (for example, when you get up in the morning) or before going to sleep. 

Remember that one glass of water 20 minutes before your main meal abates the feeling of being hungry.

Food Restriction Leads to Weight Loss

China Food

This opinion is incorrect. 

A norm is three meals a day in certain intervals of time. If you miss one food intake, the other one will be more abundant. Since our organism is unable to burn out the increased amount of calories, it puts them aside in the form of fat.

The experiments on rodents showed that regular food intake (three times a day) didn`t influence their weight. And those rodents who were given the same amount of food but once a day put on weight very quickly.

If we have to renounce one food intake, the calories should be distributed evenly on the other food intakes. And try to drink more water during the day.

Fruit Not Likely to Put Weight on Us

Fruits

This opinion is incorrect. 

All fruit contain sugar. Especially grapes, bananas and dried fruits. However, when dieting we should consume a certain amount of fresh fruit because of vitamins, minerals and cellulose.

Try to chose fruits which are less sweet: water-melon, grapefruit, peach, strawberry or raspberry.

Remember that an apple eaten between your main meals “cheats” your hunger.

Diet Plan for Gastritis

How can we lose weight  having  problems with our stomach?

This article can give you the answer to this question.

In most cases people don`t pay attention to the way they eat. Because of such  irresponsible treatment the whole organism can suffer and your stomach first of all.

The process of weight loss is slow because the quicker your kilograms are melting, the greater stress your organism has. Any stress increases the probability of gastritis and gastric ulcer. 

Menu

Say YES to dairy produce. It protects the mucous membrane of stomach from any damage. That`s why drink tea with milk, cacao with milk or cream, whole milk, unsour kefir, yoghurt or clabber. (ONLY 1,5–2% fat content).

Proteins – are very necessary for cells building. It is irreplaceable for the cells of our stomach, too. Our task is to provide the daily norm of proteins. It is almost  impossible to do without the use of dietary products rich in proteins: fresh unsour non-fat cottage cheese, lean beef, chicken breasts and boiled fish.

Vitamin E protects stomach cells from muriatic acid influence. Its source is vegetable oil. But be careful, it is rich in calories. 1–2 tea-spoons of vegetable oil per day is enough.

The source of vitamin B are groats. It should be boiled and added to your main meal. You can use any groats but pearl barle, peeled barley and millet. Maximum vitamins – buckwheat and oatmeal; minimum – farina.

Cherries

The source of vitamin C are berries and fruit of sweet sorts. Necessarily purge them from grains and skin. But the vitamins from these fruits are not enough. That`s why drink the decoction of dog-rose every day.

Eat slowly. Chew carefully. Thus, the satiation center in our brain has time to snap into action. Moreover, the well chewed food will be better saturated with gastric juice and better assimilated. Thus, stomach does not have to produce muriatic acid additionally. 

Limit the use of alcohol and spiceries. They are rich in calories and stimulate the appetite and gastric juice production. Especially harmful are pepper, karri and garlic.

Physical activity

Any physical activity is useful: jogging, walking, swimming, wheeling. Aerobics is  especially effective with the elements of belly dance. Belly dance helps to massage the internals and stomach walls are provided with blood and oxygen. Consequently, probability of gastritis diminishes.

Example of Diet Plan:

Breakfast: 1 soft boiled egg, crumbly buckwheat porridge (150g) and 1 cup of  tea with milk without sugar.
Lunch: fresh unsour non-fat cottage cheese (150g) and decoction of dog-rose (1 cup).
Dinner: vegetarian soup boiled on water from potato, cauliflower and carrot (200ml), boiled meat (150g) and compote from boiled dried fruits(1 glass).
Snack: one baked apple.
Supper: boiled fish (150g), one baked or boiled potato mashed with 1 tea-spoon of olive oil and 1 cup of tea with milk without sugar.
Before going to sleep: 1 glass of milk or non-fat unsweet yoghurt.

Physical Exercise Helps to Lose Weight

Physical Exercise to Lose weight

This opinion is incorrect because we need to burn down 8000 calories to whip off one kilogram. 

And 25 minutes of physical trainings burn down only 300 calories. So, just count. But it doesn`t mean that physical exercises are useless. It is a great thing in addition to your main diet course.

Moreover, it makes our sleep deeper, improves our immune system, helps to increase our blood circulation and increase our energy level.

Sauna Helps to Lose Weight

Sauna

This opinion is incorrect.

Of course, sauna helps to take 1-2 litres of water out of your organism but the feeling of being thirsty fill us back with water.

Sauna is a salutary procedure which clears our  skin, removes toxins and makes us feel relaxed.

Diet on the Cheap

Cheese

Are you still convinced that it is very expensive to be slim? You are wrong! It is as easy as ABC. Do you want to lose 3-5 kilos for 10 days without damage to your health? Yes?
Ok, this diet is for you!

First of all, remember well some basic points:

Proteins are vitally important elements which are very necessary for our organism. It is much more better and cheaper to buy one good  piece of meat than to spend money on “synthetic” sausage every day.
Don`t forget about other inxpensive products containing proteins: eggs, curd and legumes.
Don`t mix together proteins and fats in one meal. For example,  there is enough fat in eggs themselves therefore don`t use butter to fry them.
Use a small amount of soy-bean sauce instead of salt to dress your dish.
Have your last food intake not later than 20.00.
Drink 1,5-2 liters of mineral water without gas or filtered boiled water per day.
Restrict the usage of coffee (without milk and sugar) to no more than two cups a day.
Don`t use sugar at all while dieting.

How can you afford some pleasure to you?

If you want to eat something sweet, eat one table-spoon of honey, one lobule of chocolate and three pieces of dried apricots or one piece of  prunes.
There is no need to eliminate the usage of alcohol completely.  One glass of wine or beer once in three days will not be  harmful.

The Elixir of Youth with Cocoa Taste

Cocoa

American scientists have come to the conclusion that hot cocoa can be the elixir of youth. They have discovered that cocoa-powder is rich in polyphenols (organic  phytogenic compounds, which are powerful antioxidants). Moreover, cocoa is 2 times richer in polyphenols  than red wine and 3 times richer than  green tea. That is why one or two cups of hot cocoa a day are capable to protect a human organism from destroying action of free radicals. In other words, this elixer can  slow down the aging process. Futhermore, this tasty drink is a prophylaxis against cancer, infarction and stroke.
