How to Lose 10 Lbs in 14 Days Before Your Wedding Day

Image : http://www.flickr.com

It is 14 days before your wedding and you are contemplating losing weight before then. Looking stunning and immaculate in a wedding dress could be the best gift a bride would give to the bridegroom on their big if not biggest day. After founding Mr. Right, inviting eminent dignitaries and booking the church for the occasion of their life, all required is for the lady to look fascinating in her wedding dress while the guy look just as pleasant. Isn't it impressive to see a bride and groom who have the healthy glow, unique alertness and extraordinary energy needed for their wedding day?

However, because of the burning desire to look great for the wedding, couples resort to using drastic measures like fad diets or taking pills for quick weight loss. This is not only unhealthy but may be dangerous setting you for a future of yo-yo dieting rather than bringing lasting weight loss.

The wedding day require a lot of stamina and energy. You will have to greet a lot of well wishers and dance to the music while making sure that everyone enjoys the occasion. Unfortunately, not being in the best of fitness may ruin your plans for the day. Thus, it is expedient that you understand how to lose some pounds before your wedding day and I say in 14 days or two weeks to your wedding day. You don't have to walk down that Aisle carrying some unnecessary pounds. So, what can you achieve in two weeks?

First and foremost, whatever you do, make sure you eat low fat foods and eat more of raw fruits and vegetables. You will definitely lose weight because of the negative calorie effect. Your body burns 16% more calories after you eat a meal that's mostly fruits & vegetables than if you ate a meal without any fruits or vegetables plus...Fruits & vegetables high in vitamin C like... Oranges, lemons, limes, tomatoes, broccoli and cabbage, celery, carrot, pineapples, grapefruit, apples and watermelon burn off body fat so the fat can be easily flushed out of your body.

Secondly, drink water or fruit instead of sugar-based drinks. If you have been taking this before, you will need to stop this which will drastically reduce your calorific intake. Try having a drink in between meals as this can also stave off any hunger pangs.

Thirdly, when you are eating, eat slowly and enjoy your food and lastly, make sure you carry out more than 30 minutes exercise everyday till the last day. You don't have to go to gym or engage in something strenuous. You can walk some few kilometers downtown and you'll be glad you did.

It must be noted that while you will lose weight drastically by observing these modest rules, it is far better if you can observe these rules months before your wedding day.

Having a blissful wedding is what I wish you!

Basic Wheat Cereal

Image : http://www.flickr.com

During the winter months nothing could boast your outlook for the day better than a hot bowl of fresh wheat cereal. Most people today simply do not understand how easy it is to create cereals such as these. This article is intended to inform you how you too can wake up breakfast for yourself and your family.

To begin simmer a full cup of wheat in approximately two cups of water until such time as some of the wheat kernels begin to rupture. In the event that the cooked cereal is a bit on the strong tasting side you can readily discard your cooking water and apply some fresh rinse water to the wheat kernel mixture. To make your wheat mixture more enjoyable you can take your completed wheat cereal and add some sugar or perhaps a little butter to it and really wake up those taste buds. To speed up the preparation process you can soak your wheat kernels in water overnight. In the morning it will take you a mere 40 minutes for the kernels to start bursting open when preparing it upon rising.

If you happen to soak your wheat for several days they will become so soft that you could conceivably eat the wheat without even cooking it. A given quantity of wheat seeds will expand to approximately double what its original volume was after it has absorbed the soaking water. Keep this well in mind and be careful about soaking your wheat too long.

An important thing to remember is that some research that has been conducted has shown that individuals who had eaten wheat for several days straight have ended up with a very bad case of loose bowels. You have been properly warned now. I should in all fairness explain also that this same series of tests has also demonstrated that cracking the wheat into very small pieces prior to boiling it tended to rid the experimenter's body of this problem. You don't need a lot of fancy equipment to crack wheat - all you really require is a pepper mill. Even plan ordinary stones can be employed in the process of cracking wheat when necessary.

Good luck and bon appétit!

Glycemic Index And Diabetes - Is A GI Diet Good For Diabetics?

The Glycemic Index (GI) diet was all the rage a few years ago. It was promoted as a new diet plan that helped you to control your weight but was also good for you because it limited the amount of sugar entering the body. This was of interest to diabetics as they had to monitor their blood sugar levels at all times. People were interested in the glycemic index number for an apple, a piece of bread or a bowl of breakfast cereal and many other things. However it was not as simple as that as the GI number could vary depending on how ripe the fruit was, the type of bread or how the cereal had been cooked. This article will explain what is the glycemic index and how it works in relation to diabetes.

What is the Glycemic Index ?

The GI is a rating system for foods, mainly carbohydrates. It shows the effect that the food will have on the body's blood sugar levels. Consequently it is an indication of how quickly the carbohydrate food is broken down by the body. Foods with a low GI are broken down more slowly than those with a higher number. This also indicates the demand on insulin or the insulin response in the body or by other means if the person is a diabetic. For diabetics controlling the blood glucose level is paramount to controlling diabetes and minimizing the chances of complications in later life.

How Does the Glycemic Index Work?

The glycemic index is often not a straight forward measure of foods. Many factors influence the GI number of a food. The same applies to people too. Each person will have their own response to foods that are influenced by their age, level of physical activity and whether they are over weight. However the numbers are a general guideline that can help people make informed decisions on types of foods to eat. Foods are rated between 0-100 where zero is low and 100 is high. The general guidelines are as so :

Low is considered to be 55 or less,

Medium is considered to be 56 - 69,

High is considered to be 70 and above.

So the aim of a diabetic and anyone that wants to avoid having highs and lows in their blood sugar levels should be to try to include low and medium GI foods in their daily diet. Again at a very general level, simple carbohydrates like white bread and processed breakfast cereals will have higher numbers than say brown bread. You should change from simple carbohydrates to complex carbohydrates if you want to adopt a low GI diet. Fruit and Vegetables are also low and should be eaten. Adopting such a diet will give you more control over your diabetes. For people with type 2 diabetes this may mean not needing medication or insulin replacement therapy. For people with type 1 diabetes it should keep your blood sugar levels steady and within a normal range for longer periods. This may mean that less insulin is needed.

Is Feeding Baby Rice Cereal Hurting Your Baby?

Image : http://www.flickr.com

It's on the shelf in every grocery store and in every book on baby care - but is feeding baby rice cereal actually hurting your child? Extensive studies on cereal are showing it's not the safe, wonderful food you've been taught... and studies on children are showing we've been starting babies on foods they're not ready for.

What problems could "gentle" rice cereal cause? The startling truth is that studies have shown rice cereal is anything but gentle on baby's immature digestive system. Parents who, for decades, have seen their babies start having gas, constipation, bloating, fussiness, and even allergic reactions after starting cereal are finally getting the scientific evidence behind them to be taken seriously. It is not a good food for babies.

Cereal causes a few problems. First, a sixteen year study done in Australia has shown that rice cereal causes far more reactions than either cow's milk or soy - two major allergens. It also causes more severe reactions in the infant's digestive system, causing damage to the gut wall and lining.

The western world tends to think that rice allergies are rare mostly because there's not a whole lot of rice eaten in many countries. Asian countries, however, eat a lot rice and rice allergy is quite common. Rice is not the completely allergy-free food you've been lead to believe.

Another problem with rice is that it's binding. That's right - it clogs the digestive system up. If somebody has diarrhea they're advised to eat mostly rice and bananas to help stop the diarrhea. The rice stops things up - feeding baby rice cereal can cause problems with constipation. Many babies get severely constipated on rice cereal.

Rice, like all cereal grains, is hard for babies to digest. Children don't develop the enzymes to break down starches and grains until after their first birthday. They just don't handle rice, oats, wheat, corn, or other grains well. Many parents have noticed that grains like this go in one end of the baby and come right out the other. They're not being digested at all.

It's is nutritionally poor. Rice just doesn't have a lot to offer your baby! It's fortified with iron that's hard for baby to absorb, and can further increase the constipating effects of rice cereal. Health Canada has even come right out and stated that the iron in rice and other infant cereals is hard to absorb as compared to the iron in meats.

So rice cereal - and other cereals - are not really good for your baby. They're actually pretty bad choices. Consider starting your baby with another solid food choice - one that offers a lot of nutrition and is truly easy to digest.
