The Smoothie Diet: 21 Day Rapid Weight Loss Program

 

21-DAY SMOOTHIE CHALLENGE REVIEW – RAPID WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM

The 21-Day Smoothie Diet, created by Drew Sgoutas, has spawned dozens of imitations and variations. All promise that replacing some of your meals with smoothies will lead to quick and easy weight loss.
As with so many weight-loss plans, though, the details are important. As part of a balanced diet, smoothies can help you lose weight. But ingredients, portion size, and your overall eating plan will make all the difference.

Background:

Sgoutas is a certified health coach who created the 21-Day Smoothie Diet to help clients lose weight. His e-book, “The Smoothie Diet,” contains 36 smoothie recipes, shopping lists, and a three-week schedule explaining which smoothies to prepare each day. He also offers a “detox” plan with recipes and instructions for replacing three meals a day with smoothies for three days.

How It Works:

On this eating plan, you will prepare and drink two smoothies a day as meal replacements. Your third meal is up to you, but for the best results it should be lower in calories. Sgoutas also suggests one “cheat day” per week but includes a recommended food list for this day. He also says that it is fine to repeat the 21-day cycle anytime you would like to lose weight.

What to Eat

The smoothie ingredients vary, but they focus on fruits and vegetables, with some protein and healthy fats. There is some guidance in e-book for the one solid-food meal you will consume each day (recommendations for what to eat, and some “ whole food” recipes). Sgoutas points out that if this meal is too high in calories, the diet won’t work for weight loss. The e-book also includes some suggested low-sugar, high-fiber snacks.

Recommended Timing

On the “detox” plan, all three daily meals are replaced with smoothies. On the 21-day plan, you’ll consume two meal-replacement smoothies (breakfast and lunch), one solid-food meal, and a few snacks.

Modifications

If necessary, plan a “flex day,” in which you consume one smoothie and two regular meals. Also of note: The e-book suggests that this diet is not for people with food allergies.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Emphasis on fruits and vegetables

Less calorie-counting and food tracking

Shopping lists included

Cons:

Restrictive

Preparation could be time-consuming

Pros

Fruits and Vegetables

The smoothie diet’s recipes contain plenty of fruits and veggies, which are an essential part of a healthy diet. They tend to be low in calories and rich in phytonutrients.

Less Counting

Unlike many other eating plans, the smoothie diet doesn’t require carbohydrate counting, a food diary, or full-time calorie counting. It does recommend being aware of the calorie count in the daily solid-food meal. With recipes and weekly meal plans (that is, smoothie plans) provided, there is not a lot of decision-making or tracking involved, which is a boon for some users.

Shopping Lists

The e-book contains shopping lists broken down by smoothie and by week, which simplifies grocery-store visits during the three weeks of the diet.
Even with these benefits, experts have concerns about the smoothie diet’s effectiveness and sustainability.

Cons

Restrictive

Most of the diet’s smoothies are low in protein, and a few fall short in healthy fats. Sgoutas does emphasize getting enough protein throughout the day, recommending at least 50 grams daily by eating a little with each meal and snack. However, some people may need additional guidance on this issue-and without proper planning, could fall short meeting their protein needs. If you are using a smoothie as a meal replacement, make sure it contains each essential macronutrient: protein, fat, and carbohydrates.
In general, fruit smoothies tend to contain plenty of calories from carbohydrates and perhaps a small amount of fat. But they also need a good source of lean protein. Protein helps build muscle, which you need to maintain a healthy metabolism. Try adding a tablespoon or two of chia seeds to a smoothie. The seeds will thicken your drink and provide a boost of fiber as well.

Time-Consuming

Making two or three smoothies a day (and cleaning the blender afterward) takes time. And while you can easily prep a morning smoothie and take it with you for breakfast on the go, it’s much harder to have a smoothie for lunch if you’re away from home and don’t have access to all your ingredients and a blender.

Get Fit Now with Chinese Weight Loss Tea

 

If you're struggling to lose weight, you might not think that an ancient drink can help you get rid of those unwanted pounds. Despite the fact that we're being constantly exposed to the latest and greatest weight loss fads, many Asian cultures have known for ages that the power of green tea, sometimes referred to as Chinese weight loss tea, can help you manage your weight through this amazing tea's many healthy benefits. In fact, the use of teas as a dietary supplement for overall excellent health and well-being dates back over many thousands of years.

 

History tells us that the Chinese have long been using green Chinese weight loss tea as a part of their healthy lifestyle, and now the use of such teas to aid in weight loss has made its way the the west. Sales totals around the globe tell us that green teas are now more popular than ever world wide. One of Chinese weight loss tea's most powerful benefits is that it packs the ability to help boost the metabolism. As you may know, once you decide to modify your diet and begin to cut down on your caloric intake in order to lose weight, your body's metabolism may slow down considerably as it enters what is known as "starvation mode".

 

When this happens, your body senses that food is in short supply and it begins to store additional fat that it can burn later for energy. Even though you're purposely reducing your food intake in order to lose weight, your body doesn't know that you're actually on a diet and trying to shed those extra pounds. In order to avoid a significant drop in your metabolic rate, you may consider turning to Chinese weight loss tea as a method to keep your body burning fat at the normal (or even enhanced) rate.

 

In addition, Chinese weight loss tea is a completely natural dietary supplement. These days you'll find weight loss pills of all sorts being sold on television and online. While some of these supplements may be completely safe, unless you understand all of the ingredients and how they may affect your body, you can't be completely sure about how safe or effective they may be. On the other hand, if you buy only pure and natural Chinese weight loss tea that is grown without harsh chemicals or pesticides, you can be certain that you're enjoying an all-natural dietary aid.

 

Like anything else, despite the fact that Chinese weight loss tea can be completely natural and safe, you should beware of over indulgence. Too much of a good thing can be bad for you. In addition, if you've never used teas as a weight loss supplement, make sure you check with your doctor or nutritionist before you add it to your diet.

Eat Out To Lose Weight With A Restaurant Calorie Counter

 

 

A restaurant calorie counter can be a dieter’s best friend. Losing weight isn’t easy, so you need to take steps to make it as easy as possible on yourself. One way to do this is to not limit yourself to just bland home meals and a life where you never eat out for fear of not being able to maintain your diet the way you want to. With a restaurant calorie counter, you won’t have to.

 

There’s no doubt that losing weight is difficult. The rate of obesity is soaring and it’s not because people are trying to gain weight, sumo wrestlers excepted. In general, more than 95 percent of people who do manage to lose weight won’t be able to keep it off. Many people manage to gain and lose hundreds of pounds over their lifetime. When something is this difficult, you need to take every step you can to make it as easy as possible. This includes eating out, or grabbing things on the fly, which is where a restaurant calorie counter comes in handy. We’d all like to be able to be able to do up our food at home, eat perfectly all day and come back to prepare a nutritionally flawless means for dinner, all with a smile on your face.

 

But in reality, this doesn’t happen. People sleep late, work late, and sometimes the boss wants you to have lunch with him. It’s a rare person who can get by without buying their food already prepared at some point. Unless your eating out is going to consist of glasses of water, you’re going to need a restaurant calorie counter.

 

A restaurant calorie counter is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It’s a guide to the calories and nutrient contents of things you find in restaurants. Generally, these will be available for all chain type restaurants, fast food and otherwise, but a very good restaurant calorie counter will also have very famous restaurants, and it is possible to get copies that have local information, as well.

 

The local restaurants are actually a flaw in using a restaurant calorie counter; even those that have restaurants are forced to estimate. This isn’t necessarily a huge problem, but bear in mind that if you’re eating at Uncle Joe’s Wings and Things you’re going to have to estimate.

 

A good way to do this, if you’re eating in a place where you’re going to be eating a lot but the place isn’t listed in your restaurant calorie counter, is to get your favorites as take out. Once you have them, measure them and then find something in the counter that’s pretty close and work out how many calories are in each one.

 

Either way, a restaurant calorie counter can be key to your weight loss success, regardless of the type of diet you’re on. If you’re using a controlled calorie plan, then you can easily look up the calorie count and adjust. Or you can choose dishes with the right amount of fat or carbs for your plan. Every diet is easier with a restaurant calorie counter.

Female Weight Loss-Its All About Control

 

 

Female weightloss begins with determining why women are overweight in the first place.  Women are less likely than men to exercise and they don’t eat enough vegetables.  Overweight women are also likely to be impulsive eaters and are more prone to stress eating.

 

How much you weigh depends on several factors.

First of all, any female weight loss advice should begin with an analysis of how much and what kind of foods you eat.  Most women who are not trying to lose weight should get around 1600 calories a day.  But not all calories are created equal.  100 calories worth of green beans with almond slivers are a whole different ball game from 100 calories worth of hershey’s chocolate with almonds.  In addition to the calories, you need to look at the nutrients, the fiber, and the grams of fat.

 

But, most women get more calories than they need to maintain their weight.  Part of this is due to poor impulse control.  There’s just too many calories available to us.  But another part has to do with women underestimating just how many calories in the food they eat.  Serving sizes have exploded but people still count the calories as if they were the traditional smaller servings.  Female weight loss requires that women accurately count every calorie.

 

If your lifestyle includes a lot of activity, you are less likely to be worried about female weight loss.  However, if you live a highly sedentary life, you probably are packing on the pounds.  Look for ways to move more.  This doesn’t have to mean hitting the gym either.  Playing with the kids, mopping the floor, and gardening are all excellent kinds of movement. 

 

What you consume and how many calories you burn off are directly under your control.  But other factors that are outside of your control impact female weight loss as well.  For instance, your genetic make up has a lot to do with whether you get fat.  Fast metabolism tends to run in families and it is typical to see entire families of fat or skinny people. 

 

Your age also has an impact on your weight as you tend to burn calories more slowly as you age.  This “middle age spread” must be aggressively combated if you want to keep your weight under control.  And, it is important that you do so for the sake of your health.  Heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are all linked with weight issues.

Finally, the state of your health can play a role in female weight loss.  Some medications are known for causing weight gain.  And, some physical conditions limit mobility which means that you don’t burn as many calories.

 

The key to female weight loss is setting achievable goals and sticking to the plan.  Accept that there are things you can control – and control them.  Also accept that there are things beyond your control and you will have to compensate in the other areas. 

 

Find Your Own Weight Loss Exercise Routine

 

You will need a weight loss exercise routine if you want to lose weight in the smartest and healthiest way. Diet alone can help you lose weight, but the eating plan will have to be so restrictive and limited that many people end up giving up and gaining back any weight that they may have lost. When exercise is included, the weight loss is helped and the diet can be much more realistic.

 

Your weight loss exercise should include a cardiovascular exercise such as walking, running, or swimming to get your heart rate up to the proper rate for aerobic activity. This heart rate will have to be sustained for twenty minutes to get the best benefit from your exercise plan.  Start off slow to get your body accustomed to the workout if you have not exercised in a while. Make sure that you warm up first and always cool down to avoid injury.

 

Weight training can also be a part of your weight loss exercise routine. When you engage your muscles, the increase to your metabolism will go on long after you have finished your exercise. Increasing your muscle mass will also increase the amount of calories that you burn. There are many benefits to using weight training in your routine including toning your body and sculpting some fabulous muscles on your body. Take your time and build up slowly to avoid injuring yourself while working out.

 

Vary your weight loss exercise routine from time to time. You will avoid boredom and there are some great benefits to your muscles when you use them in a different way. Over time, your muscles can become accustomed to your workout and you will no longer get the same benefit from the routine.

 

Choose exercises that you will enjoy doing every day to make sure that you have some consistency in your routine. You are much more likely to go back to an exercise that you enjoy doing than one that you dread every day. There are many activities that you can include in your weight loss exercise routine that are not your typical exercise such as dancing or even incorporating your housecleaning into your exercise routine.

 

Your weight lossexercise routine should also include a well balanced diet. The exercise will help you to stick with your diet as well. Many times your exercise routine can help you to stick with a diet as well. Once you begin to see some results from your efforts, you will be encouraged to keep on going and making more improvements to your healthier lifestyle.

 

Over time, you will have a well balanced diet in place with a weight loss exercise plan that keeps your body in good condition and health.  It is the only way to a healthy body and the results that you want. Begin with an exercise routine instead of a diet this time and see what kind of results you can get. You’ve tried every diet on the market, right?  Now it’s time to try a whole new approach to weight loss.

Gout Diet May Help You Lose Weight

 

 

Gout, while not deadly, is a very painful condition.  If it is left untreated it can cause serious tissue damage.  Gout is a form of arthritis.  The cause of gout is buildup of small crystals in your joints.  These crystals are comprised of uric acid. 

 

When there is a buildup of these uric acid crystals, there can be intense pain, swelling, inflammation, and redness.  Usually the kidneys regulate the levels of uric acid in our bodies.  When the kidneys fail to regulate the uric acid, is when gout can strike.  The kidneys may not properly regulate the uric acid for any one of the following reasons:  Trouble with kidneys, change in types of foods consumed, change in weight, illness, certain medications being taken, etc… The excess uric acid can be linked to something called purines.  Purines are found in certain types of foods that we consume.  Some foods have higher levels of purines than others.  Since the food containing purines causes the excess uric acid, one way which gout can be controlled is by going on a gout diet.

 

There has been much research done in this field.  If you are prone to getting gout, then you should avoid the foods which contain high and significant amounts of purines.  Foods high in proteins have also been linked to gout.  In fact, it has been found that people who eat a lot of meat and/or seafood are at a greater risk of getting gout.

 

If you have gout, these are the foods that you should avoid while on a gout diet: Herring, mussels, smelt, sweetbreads, anchovies, mutton, veal, bacon, liver, salmon, turkey, pâté, goose, haddock, pheasant, and scallops.  You should also avoid foods, like bread, that contain yeast. 

 

You should also steer clear of beer, since yeast is used in making it.  You should also not drink alcohol while on a gout diet either.  Also, you should try to avoid foods and drinks that contain high fructose corn syrup, including soft drinks.  Diet soft drinks should be okay to drink; just make sure you read the label.

 

When on a gout diet you should try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.  You can also eat whole grains.  Protein consumption should be limited to 15% of your daily diet.  You should only eat lean protein.  This would include skinless chicken and turkey. 

 

You should try to avoid red meat.  While on a gout diet, you also want to limit your fat intake.  Fats should not exceed 30% of your daily calories.  Only 10% of your calories should come from animal fat.

 

By watching what you eat while on a gout diet, you should be able to prevent an outbreak.  It is always important to seek medical advice and diagnosis if you believe you have gout.  Your doctor will also probably prescribe medication to help control gout, if you have it. As you can see just being on a gout diet you may lose weight.

Green Tea And Weight Loss Synonymous

 

More often, you would see green tea or green tea extracts piled together with other weight loss supplements in the market.  The question is, is green tea really effective when it comes to a person’s goal to get rid of excess fats and lose some pounds on the weighing scale? Before even thinking of sipping the famous Japanese brew, take a look at the reasons why you should and why you shouldn’t consider the green tea and weight loss combo.

 

There has been a lot of fuss about the benefits of green tea to people who are trying to lose weight. Medical research showed a lot of advantages of the tea and its components. However, like any other weight loss products, it has its own adverse effects on an individual’s general health. Let’s start weighing the facts by first looking at the good side of the said weight loss supplement and then the hazards at the latter end.

 

Benefits of Green Tea on Metabolism

 

A powerful antioxidant called catechin polyphenols found in green tea is known to be responsible for many of the benefits of the tea. The antioxidant can stimulate the body’s process of burning fuel and releasing calories as heat. Research showed that green tea increases energy expenditure or metabolism boost. At a 24 hour period, it is recorded that metabolic rate is increased to up to 4%. In short, green tea revs up your metabolism and thus decreases your chances of gaining more weight.

 

Benefits of Green Tea on Reducing Appetite

 

If you blame your appetite on your unending or uncontrolled craving for food, then green tea and weight loss may just be what you need. Green tea is known as an appetite suppressant because of its blood sugar regulating capabilities. According to studies, green tea’s polyphenols have the ability to depress Leptin, a protein that plays a major rule in increasing appetite.

Benefits of Green Tea on Fat Absorption

Green tea has three major components which can promote fat loss. These components are catechins, caffeine, and theanine which can inhibit gastric and pancreatic lipase, enzymes that digest and stores fat in a form that is healthy for the body. Drinking green tea after a meal can slow the rise of blood sugar and thus prevents fat storage in the body.

 

Benefits of Green Tea on Calorie Count

 

Start counting calories on your morning brew and guess what you will find. Double cream, double sugar, mocha, frappucinno, etc are causing havoc on your waistline. If you are addicted to a dose of caffeine in the morning but want those calories off your diet, then green tea and weight loss brew is right for you.

 

Health Hazards of Green tea

 

The hazard of the intake of green tea lies on its caffeine. Caffeine is harmful especially for people who have heart problems and high blood pressure. But as they say, to every problem there is a solution. Green tea and weight loss can still be an option for people who have health concerns when it comes to taking in caffeine. Decaffeinated green tea, usually that which comes in an extract form, is available in the market too.

Do You Want to Lose 6 Pounds Quickly

 

 

Do you want to lose 6 pounds quickly?  While many diets are geared at people who want to lose 20 pounds or more, the plan I’m presenting here will help you lose 6 pounds quickly – perhaps in just one week.

 

The first thing you want to do is clear out your pantry of all the foods that make you fat.  Clean out your refrigerator and throw things away.  Donate the packaged food in your pantry to a local food bank.

Then, go to the grocery store and buy the following sixteen things only:

 

1.    Whole wheat bread

2.    Tuna

3.    Any and all fruits

4.    Any and all vegetables

5.    8 oz. steak

6.    Two chicken breasts

7.    Salad vegetables

8.    Balsamic vinegar

9.    Special K Cereal

10.   Skim milk

11.   Brown rice

12.   Instant oatmeal (not the sweetened packaged kind though)

13.   Sliced turkey breast

14.   3 servings of fish

15.   Low fat yogurt

16.   Eggs

 

Using these foods as the basis for your diet, write out a diet plan for the next seven days.  After that, you will be fully committed to sticking to it.  Part of the motivation for clearing out your kitchen ahead of time is that there will not be any food that you can “cheat” with.

 

Next, you want to get a pedometer and make sure that you walk at least 10,000 steps each day.  That may seem like a lot, but here are some ways that you can get extra steps in.

 

1.    Park far away from the front door of your work or a store.  Not only will you get extra steps in, but you will have a much easier time parking.

2.    Take the stairs instead of the elevator.  If you work above the fourth floor, get off of the elevator at least two floors early and walk the rest of the way.

3.    When you have to contact a colleague at work, don’t phone or email them, walk over to their office or desk.

4.    If you take the bus or other form of mass transportation, get off a stop or two early and walk.

5.    Walk the dog.  If you don’t have a dog, volunteer to walk the neighbor’s dog.

6.    Take a walk before dinner.  Not only will you increase the number of steps you take that day, but a walk before dinner will reduce your appetite.

 

Finally, try to drink at least eight, 8 ounce glasses of water each day when you are trying to lose weight.  You can do this by drinking one liter of water at work and another liter at home.  If you don’t like water plain, it is okay to substitute unsweetened iced tea or sugar free lemonade or punch.

 

It is possible to lose 6 pounds in a week.  Try radically altering your diet, walking more, and drinking a substantial amount of water.  It’s not a lifetime that you will be restricted to this plan, it’s just a week.  And, you’ll be able to lose 6 pounds in that time.
