7 Tips to Reduce fat in your nutrition

When you are trying to lose weight, eating anything with fat in it is bad right?  Wrong! Fat contains vital vitamins and nutrients that your body needs to function properly.  Here are 7 great tips on how to reduce fats in your diet, while consuming the right amount of good fats that your body needs.

By now you know that too much fat- especially saturated fat- is not good for you. Your body can easily store excess calories ingested from fat as body fat. Plus, saturated fats can clog your arteries and contribute to heart disease.

But be careful. Although reducing dietary fat is important, eliminating all fat from your diet is not at all healthy. Fat is an essential nutrient that produces energy for daily activities and supplies the body with vitamins A, D and E, which are needed for healthy skin and optimal growth. The body cannot produce fat on its own; it must be provided through dietary intake.  For these reasons you should enjoy some fats in your diet, especially monounsaturated fats like olive oil. The key is moderation.

Here are 7 tips to reduce the unhealthy-Saturated- Fat:

1.    Use evaporated skimmed milk instead of cream when preparing sauces or desserts.
2.    Create your own nonfat salad dressing by mixing balsamic vinegar, mustard and herbs. If you really prefer an oil-based dressing, try using three parts vinegar to one part oil.

3.    Sauté foods in chicken broth, vegetable stock or tomato juice  instead of frying them in oil or butter.
4.    You can make your own taco shells. Hang soft corn tortillas directly over the oven rack (with the sides of the tortilla hanging down) and bake at 400 degrees until they’re crisp. (Taco shells sold in supermarkets are usually fried.)
5.    Sweet potato fries. Place 1/4-inch-thick potato slices on a nonstick baking pan, and coat with a light spray of olive oil. Sprinkle with paprika or salt, and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Turn once during baking.
6.    Substitute six egg whites plus one whole egg for every three eggs in your favorite recipes.
7.    Substitute applesauce or any baby-food fruits for up to half of the total oil in your favorite dessert recipes

3 Easy Steps to Overcome Overeating

Let’s face it, the extra pounds you’re carrying around are due to overeating – plain and simple.

Why do you overeat? Here are a few likely reasons:
Habit: Whether you realize it or not, you eat in a learned pattern, rather than out of need. You clean your plate because that’s what your mother taught. You eat what is served without stopping to check if you are full. You butter two pieces of toast for breakfast rather than questioning if one piece would do the job.
Absentminded: You forget to pay attention when you eat. Mindless munching while watching a movie, snacking while driving, or picking at food while cooking – these absentminded calories really add up.
Something Deeper: Sometimes you use food for recreation or to change your mood. These calories may lend you a temporary sense of comfort or pleasure, but ultimately your body suffers from the indulgence.
Here are 3 Steps To Overcome Overeating – read these, and apply them to your life. Read the rest of this entry »

To Avoid Injuries, You Need to…Warm-Up

Today I want to talk about the first thing you need to do before you start your workout today. This called a WARM-UP. You want to warm-up for about 10 minutes before you start your exercises.

 Why do a warm-up? To get your body ready for hard work. If you want to avoid injury and have a better workout, do your warm-up first. This is not a recommendation; you really need to warm-up before. I will say it’s a MUST!

 You can use any different apparatus for your warm-up; a bicycle, treadmill, stairmaster or rowing.

 Start easy for the first 3 minutes and increase the intensity at each minute for a total of 10 minutes. You will feel much better during your main exercise session by doing this and you will help avoid some injuries.

 This little 10 minutes of your time can you keep away from injuries, believe me.

 Now you need to incorporate your warm-up in your training routine. No Exception!!!
