The Diet Solution Program Reviews
So much research and efforts are done in weight loss industry. Occasionally we read about certain product give u better fat burning effect or increase your metabolism rate. When we look at all those finding closely, the slimming effect it has is limited if you do not have a serious plan for weight loss. What do I mean by serious plan here? First thing we need to know about weight loss is there are 2 most basic things, diet and exercise. If you get these 2 items right, you’ll lose weight in a very healthy way. Isn’t this look simple? And the truth is; it is simple.
Just now we are talking about diet and exercise. Now we focus on diet. Diet plays a main part to help you to lose weight but we are not talking about cutting down your calories intake here. Depending only on reduce calories intake to lose weight is unwise. An adult burns around 2000 calories per day. Anything more than that will be kept as fat. So when your diet is about 1500 calories, you burn another 500 calories, which is good news. However, after a while your body starts to adapt to your low calories diet, it turns down the metabolism rate. You find that your wound will not heal as fast, you feel dizzy if you have some heavy exercise. And the worst news, your weight would go any lower no matter how much less calories you take per day. This is why low calorie diet doesn’t work.
You might ask now, what should I do if the most common way of losing weight actually isn’t the right way? In the search of a healthy diet plan, the diet across has into the picture. The diet solution program is actually structured base on this concept. Base on the testimonial, the diet solution program has been a very effective and safe diet plan for many. Typically all users who have been following this diet plan have lost at least 10 pounds. This looks pretty good for a diet that does not require you to buy any diet pills, meal replacement or starve yourself.
Losing weight doesn’t mean starving ourselves. There are many foods that will not cause weight gain or even help to burn fats. Have you ever heard of glycemic index and glycemic load? These 2 parameters can help us to determine that whether the food we eat are fattening or not. For the fats in our daily diet, there are a few types of it. There are so many traps and misconceptions we have. The food that we think that are good for us might not be really good, such as butter and margarine. Most of us will think that margarine is better than butter. In fact this is not true. Although margarine is vegetable oil, it is hydrogenated and due to this process, it contained Trans-fat which can cause increase of cholesterol level and hence risk for cardiovascular diseases. The most natural fat like butter, olive oil or nuts is a much better choice than margarine or canola oil.
In fact in the diet solution program, all the foods that are recommended are natural food that we can get in any stores or markets. For those diet plans which include only certain type of food is not a good plan especially not for long term. As a healthy diet plan, it should provide us with a balance diet which includes all the vitamins and mineral to ensure the functioning of our vital organs.
The diet solution program is not only a diet plan but also learning material about nutrition facts. If you have any question about the plan, they provide one to one consultation. By the way, they are having a promotion for this plan. I would say that the diet solution is worth trying. After all, if you are not satisfied with the diet plan, you can always get a refund.

How to Eat Healthy Breakfast
Doctor and nutritionist have been telling everyone that breakfast is important. We need to eat our breakfast. But we all have hectic life nowadays; some of us tend to skip it. But do you know that breakfast can decide the energy level during the whole day.When we wake up in the morning, the blood sugar level in the body is about 80 to 120 mg per 100cc of blood. This is close to the lower limit of a normal blood sugar level for the body to function. If the breakfast is skipped, the blood sugar level can drop to 90 to 95mg, body still functions well, but you will easily feel tired. When blood sugar drops to 70mg, you will feel very hungry and very tired. And when it reaches 65mg, normally one will feel the urge to eat sweet stuff. If the blood sugar drops further, one will feel dizziness, irregular heartbeat and sometime vomit.
Our brain cell needs sugar in order to function properly. Protein and carbohydrates need to be breakdown and will not be able to kick in so fast. When the body system is short of sugar, one will tend to be edgy and get angry easily.
Okay, now we know that what will happen if we skip the breakfast. It is time to choose the right food for breakfast. Let’s talk about the most common American breakfast. American breakfast always comes with 1 glass of juice, likely orange, bacons, bread, butter, jam and coffee with milk. This is seemed to be a very good combination. Right after the breakfast, one’s blood sugar level will spike but after an hour of this breakfast, one’s blood sugar level will drop even lower than before the breakfast. And the low blood sugar condition will continue until lunch. Some may think that adding cereal in the breakfast might helps. The truth is cereal is not helping. Cereal has been labeled as high fiber and low sugar food but this is not true. It can have the blood sugar spike due to the processed sugar that added for the flavour.
So now you want to know which combination is good. In fact just add another 1 glass of full cream milk into the menu and your blood sugar will stabilize at around 120 for the whole morning. If you do not like milk, it is fine to have 2 half boiled egg to replace it. Why is this combination better? Milk or eggs are both high protein and contain fat. Protein and fat are can only digested slowly and that is why the rate of sugar release into blood stream is slow and steady. Hence stabilize the blood sugar. Research has show that one who has a healthy breakfast, his blood sugar will stabilize even after lunch. The high protein food will continue to take effect to stabilize the blood sugar even after 6 to 8 hours. High protein food includes milk, cheese, beef and also egg. Try to include these foods in your breakfast.
Eating the right food for your breakfast can ensure your energy level and also you mood for the whole day. Do not skip your breakfast especially if you want to lose some weights. Eat correctly and enjoy your life.
Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load
In this century, slim and slender is the trademark of beauty. Many women will do anything to lose extra pounds. Some of us think we can lose weight if we eat less. But our bodies can only starve ourselves for certain period of time. After that, this is not going to work. If this is not going to work, what else we can try? As we say, healthy diet plan is not suppose to be a torturing plan. There is food that helps us to lose weight. The question is how we can differentiate it.Have you ever heard of glycemic index? What is glycemix index?
Glycemic index, GI is the measure of how fast carbohydrate can breakdown into glucose during digestion. High GI means the carbohydrates breakdown quickly compare to those food with low GI. When carbohydrates turn into glucose quickly, the blood sugar level increases drastically. And the reaction of our bodies is to produce insulin. Insulin will trigger our liver and fat tissues to absorb the extra glucose and store it as glycogen or a more common name, fat. The food with low GI will breakdown in a slower rate and hence less insulin is produced.
Low GI : <55
Medium GI : 56~69
High GI : >70
Medium GI : 56~69
High GI : >70
However the carbohydrate content in vegetables or fruits is low. It is unlikely you will consume 50g of carbohydrate from a normal portion of salad. There is also another indicator, glycemic load, GL. While glycemic index is indication for the rate of glucose release into blood stream, glycemic load is the carbohydrate content with reference to glycemic index. This is because the carbohydrate content in vegetables or fruits are normally very low. Although the carbohydrate breaks down quickly, the amount of glucose it release into the blood stream is limited. For example, 80g serving of carrot has the GI of 47 but GL of 3.
Some bad news here, all this while we are thinking that whole wheat bread is suppose to be better. We are safe if we are having whole wheat bread instead of white bread. This is wrong. In fact, GI and GL for both whole wheat bread and white bread are similar. Well, whole wheat bread is better in terms of more mineral content and less chemical used. However for losing weight or cutting down carbohydrates, it doesn’t help. Same goes for pasta. Cereal that we thinks are healthy, are not as innocent as it looks.
By now, I think you will realize that there are so many traps and misperceptions we have about diet. It is time that we learn the truth and start to have a decent and healthy diet.
What is BMI?
We always try to lose some weight. Of course when we are overweight, we are vulnerable to many diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease and etc. But when we are underweight or losing too much weight there are also side effect. So now the question is what is the optimum weight for each of us?Here comes the BMI. I think many of us are familiar with BMI, body mass index. It is first introduced by Belgian polymath Adolphe Quetelet in 1850. There it is also known as Quetelet index. The formula to calculate BMI is simple. It is the weight in kg divided by square of height in meters. For example, Jen is 60kg and height about 170cm. After converting her height to meters, her BMI will be 60/ (1.7*1.7) = 20.76
The classification of BMI is as below:
0 ~ 16 : Severely Underweight
16~18.5 : Under Weight
18.5~25 : Optimal Weight
25~30 : Over weight
<30 : Obesity
BMI is a rough estimation of your body fat with reference to the height. However, BMI doesn’t take into account some factors like frame size, bone density and muscularity. Yes, BMI is not everything but it can give you an idea whether do you need to lose more weight. There are also special cases when one is having optimum BMI but still having some sickness. Normally more detail measurements can be done now with special equipment. The idea here is to give you a simple indication about how healthy is your weight.
In fact, if your BMI is in the range of 18.5 ~25, and you are feeling healthy then I’ll suggest you to maintain your weight. Of course you are welcome to join us with a healthy diet plan because a healthy diet not only helps you to lose weight, it also maintain your health. For those with higher BMI, it is always preferable to lose some extra pounds in a healthy way. And for those who are under weight, please do not try to lose weight in any way. Or you may even need to put on some weight, increase the ratio of body fat and muscle. It is important to know this information because we need to maintain certain percentage of body fat to make sure our bodies function smoothly. As I said, we promote a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle. We do not trade health for beauty here.
