It’s not easy to diet while vacationing!...
Article by Only Health News Oh, how I love vacations! I have been extremely blessed over the past few years to be able to take my little family on vacation. This year, we decided to go early in the Spring instead of summer when it’s so hot. Which worked out fine. We did a ton of walking in Atlanta because the weather was so nice. Things didn’t start cooling down and raining until the last day in Pensacola. This is the first time I have ever went on vacation and really TRIED to stick to a strict plan of eating. At times, I feel like I started obsessing. At times, it really stressed me out. But overall, I...
Saying No to Processed Foods
It’s nearly impossible to go anywhere these days and not see advertisements on the dangers of processed foods and how detrimental they are for the body. With everyone focusing on “clean eating” and removing bad foods from our daily regimen, the fact of the matter remains that few people actually know what the term means and how to differentiate between healthy and processed foods. Clean eating is basically the consumption of organic foods instead of unnatural foods that have been made in a laboratory. The latest technologies have made it easier than ever to make fake foods, which are cheap and easily distributed worldwide. Before you start changing your lifestyle, it is important to break down the...

However, in these times, breakfast is always overtaken time the time crunch. It seems no one has time to eat a healthy breakfast so many of use just grab a cup of java and go.

Not only are they not eating breakfast but they are not eating at all for long periods of time. The shocking thing to this is they are becoming leaner and healthier. This method is called Intermittent Fasting. This...
Protein – is it the key to losing weight?...
Article by Best Weight Loss Programs Reviews This is because they appear to satisfy hunger more than traditional diets – protein, it seems, has more staying power than fats and carbs when it comes to promoting fullness and satiety. Our Ministry of Health advises around 12–15 per cent of our total kilojoules should come from protein, around 30 per cent from fat and the remainder from carbohydrates. This is for general health, not necessarily weight loss. If we are to increase protein, as many weight loss diets today recommend, the problem arises, what do you cut back on – fat or carbohydrates? Dr Atkins decided carbs were the enemy and restricted them drastically. While people lost weight, they...
Yes, they really do eat salad for breakfast in Israel!...
Article written by No Myth Fitness Whether we stayed in a flash hotel in Jerusalem, on an Orthodox Jewish kibbutz or in an Arab B&B in a small town, everywhere it was the same: the healthiest breakfasts you can imagine. They consisted of salads: the two core ingredients are chunks of tomato and cucumber, plus red onion, capsicum, feta, herbs (parsley and mint) and olives. (Not a fan of olives, I substitute red grapes.) Traditionally Mediterranean salads do not include lettuce but there were lettuce salads, with carrot, mushrooms, courgette, tabouleh, chickpeas, seeds, nuts (walnuts) and more. There were also eggs several ways, fish (including my favourite: smoked salmon), yoghurt, cheeses, hummus (the real thing – absolutely delicious),...
