In Daniel Reid’s great book The Tao of Health, Sex & Longevity, there’s a section on foods that ‘kill’ fat.

Reid lists the foods (and juices) to help obesity, which include Carrot juice (possibly the single most cleansing, nourishing of all the veggie juices); a combo of Carrot, beet and cucumber juice, which corrects acidosis by alkalinizing the system; Spinach, which cleanses the lower bowel; and Cabbage juice, which helps with digestion and elimination.

He also mentions “Foods to Avoid: all refined starch and sugar, especially white bread and sweet pastries, overcooked meats; fatty meats; chocolate; pasteurised milk; cooked eggs; alcohol.”

Well, just goes to show. I don’t think fat on meat is a bad thing: in fact I think it can sometimes be good for you. I don’t mind eggs either, since they’re protein, but I do agree that frying food is not as healthy as broiling and steaming.

But generally I think Reid’s suggestions are fantastic, and I recommend getting the book (and no, I don’t get commissions from anyone for punting their stuff

Reid also has a large section on Food Combining, which is – I believe – essential for weight loss and health in general.

But what is Food Combining it? I can’t go into exhaustive detail now, but in essence it’s the claim (and I have demonstrated the truth of it in my own life) that different food types should not be combined.

Don’t mix protein and starch, for example. If you follow this rule, you will find that, amongst others, your digestion will improve remarkably.

For a more detailed explanation, there’s a lot of info out there, but one book I found great was Harvey and Marilyn Diamond’s book Fit For Life. Check it out (and other books too) – and do your digestive system and figure a favor.

Not only will you have less gas and ‘bloat’, but I found you lose weight.

If you want to prove food combining works, try this experiment: eat a pure protein meal, or a pure starch meal. Do NOT mix the protein and starch. See how easily the meal is digested.

Then mix protein and starch in a meal, and note how long it takes to go through, and whether you have gas. I think you’ll conclude that it’s best not to mix!

Other food combining tips: eat fruit alone; eat different types of fruits separately; eat melon as a fruit separately (i.e. not mixed with any other kind of fruit); and drink (unpasteurised) milk by itself, alone.

Follow these tips and I believe you will be on your way to a slimmer, healthier you :-

In a culture that is very much focused on instant gratification, we hold our weight loss up to the same standards, expecting pounds to shed immediately and muscles to be defined with the lifting of one weight. It’s no wonder that more and more people turn to liposuction for weight loss – a procedure that rids the body of pockets of fat. But what people fail to realize is that liposuction for weight loss does not address the underlying weight issue and will not achieve desired results without the use of proper diet and exercise.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves the making of several incisions around a particular area of the body that is storing excessive fat deposits. A surgeon then inserts an instrument into the incisions that allows them to vacuum out excess fat. The procedure, however, is far more invasive then it sounds; the surgeon must aggressively attack fat to remove it from the body and to maintain a consistent and smooth appearance. The liposuction patient – who is most often put under general anesthesia – faces recovery time like any other surgery – and some pain following the procedure.

What has been shown is that liposuction works for trouble spots that have not adequately responded to proper diet and exercise. An overall healthy person often responds well to liposuction if they are using the procedure as a supplement to good nutrition and healthy physical habits. However, liposuction for weight loss in a patient who is overweight, physically unfit, and in the habit of eating poorly will almost always fail. The reason is that liposuction for weight loss is not a magic bullet.

In such a case, the patient is required to adopt healthy eating habits and proper exercise in order to maintain the look of the liposuction. Liposuction for weight loss does not in any way mean that once the procedure is performed you can eat whatever you want and live a sedentary lifestyle.

If you are interested in liposuction for weight loss, it is imperative that you go about it in the right way. If you are not already doing so, you must immediately adopt a diet designed for weight loss and optimum health; one that includes the eating of whole foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Practice portion control, drink plenty of water, and stay away from foods high in fat and sugar. Additionally, it is important to implement a consistent exercise program that incorporates cardiovascular work, weight training, and core work such as Pilates, yoga, and a stretching program.

You may find that after several months on such a program you will see significant changes in your body’s appearance and that liposuction for weight loss is unnecessary. If however, you still want to have liposuction to address trouble spots, you will now be in a position to enter in to the surgery as a healthy person who can maintain a healthy lifestyle following surgery.

Because of the increasing demand for techniques to effectively lose weight, several diet plans are being introduced almost without end. You are given too many options to choose from just for one need. Since, each method guarantees amazing results; you end up trying one procedure after another. In truth, the only thing you need to know in picking the right diet plan for you is understanding your body and what it actually needs.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots is another revolutionary system for losing weight. It is a very simple and practical way to significantly lose fats. Fat Loss for Idiots, in fact, promises to help you lose up to 9 pounds in a matter of eleven days. Who would not be lured to try this recently established weight loss program?

This freshly launched diet plan is very convenient and easy to follow. Basically, Fat Loss 4 Idiots only teaches us to eat right. Eating proper and healthy diet is the only logic behind this diet program. Fat Loss 4 Idiots provides a diet plan that needs to be followed within the 11 days period. The diet includes four meals per day. The best thing about this diet plan is that you get to choose the food you want to eat. Therefore, you do not necessarily have to suffer only because you are in a strict diet.

A Software is used to generate the menu for you for the next eleven days, which you need to strictly follow. And after you have completed the 11-day diet plan, you will have the chance of eating all you wish to gulp down within three days. This way, you are given time to prepare for another 11 days of following a specified pattern of eating. You can continue with this diet program for until you reach the desired body weight.

The idea sounds so convincing but many who have tried Fat Loss 4 Idiots were not very satisfied. Since the program guaranteed a 9 pounds weight loss within eleven days, people expected to get the same result. However, the result may vary depending on individual body type. Most people only achieved a 6 pound weight loss, which is not bad after all. Perhaps, there is a need to educate people about how differently our bodies respond to different diet programs.

Of course, you also have a responsibility in making the diet plan successful. Discipline and carefully following instruction are two basic things you have to keep in mind. To maximize the benefits of any diet plan like Fat Loss 4 Idiots, you have to do your part as well. You cannot expect a diet plan to perform miracles for you. All diet plans are designed the way they are for reasons so, do not leave out any instruction.

It is important that you do not miss any meal. Fat Loss 4 Idiots recommends that you eat four times a day. The program is designed that way for a reason so; even if you feel less hungry, you have to follow directions.

You can also do something else aside from just waiting until the diet plan starts working. You can do simple exercises. Although, Fat Loss 4 Idiots do not require you to exercise to get the result you want, it is better if you initiate. Doing a 10-minute walk will not hurt, anyway.
