The worst way to lose weight

Unfortunately, the worst way to lose weight is also the most common. Don’t make the same mistakes. Muscle loss…horrible food cravings…metabolic damage…depression…All this and more is possible when you do all the wrong things to lose weight. We all know someone that has used these terrible weight loss methods, and maybe even have tried a few ourselves. I want to share with you how to lose weight in the worst possible way, explain why it’s the worst, and help you understand what to do instead. Step 1: Eat less and starve (Severely restrict your calories) To lose weight very quickly, and unhealthily, you should severely restrict your caloric intake.

Sunday afternoon favorite lunch karhi chawal

So its Sunday afternoon. You are lying on the couch with your favorite tab and surfing the internet. As the clock hits 2pm, your hunger starts to develop and you need something different to change to satisfy your taste buds. Instead of getting up, you call your mum or whoever in the house is your lovable master-chef and place your order. "I am fed up of everyday Dals and Sabjis...how about a Punjabi Karhi?" Ummm...yes!

10 tips to lose belly fat

Flat Tummy Mania "Hi Lavleen." "Hello, how are you today?" "Good dear, but ye nahi ja raha...look at my belly, its so loose and bulky! Its just this part which I need to get flat. Rest of my body is perfect." (picking up flab and then pointing to the saddle bags) So many of us can empathize with what this lady is saying. Most of us want a flat stomach (I know I do). Carrying excess kilos in your midsection isn't good for your health either, and I am not even talking about the extra weight. The main reason is lack of interest in doing exercise and eating habits. Is it hard to get a flat tummy? No, but it takes time. Patience pays. Lose the habits that thicken your…...

Chronic diseases caused by food choice and toxic food ingredients

“Today, more than 95% of all chronic diseases are caused by food choice, toxic food ingredients, nutritional deficiencies and lack of physical exercise.” Yes, sounds awful but true. Most of us (or I should say most of us who are health conscious) try to eat good and healthy food for a healthy body and lifestyle. We know that fruits, vegetables and whole grains are a good choice but if they a grown in depleted or contaminated soils, are we really eating healthy? You may already have heard about soil depletion but what does it mean to us? Chemicals and pesticides used nowadays to produce crops are not only hazardous for human body who consume them, but also bad for animals and our environment. Depleted soils produce crops that have very…...
