Celery (AJMODA) for losing weight


Celery( AJMODA) for losing weight A commonly believed thought by many dieters is that celery ( AJMODA)
has negative calories--eating it, as it is said, will actually end up burning calories for you.
Celery is considered by many a negative-calorie food, which means it takes the body more calories to digest it than the food itself Celery has very less calories in it (6 calories per stalk) and the process of digesting food burns energy. Because celery is quite a bulky, fibrous plant it’s going to take a lot of chewing and digesting. So eating celery will help you lose weight. Morning... Make an apple and celery juice mix to have at breakfast. Drink a large glass instead of other fruit juices. The high fiber content of the drink will keep you full so you won’t be hungry too soon after breakfast. The addition of apple will provide a sweet taste as well. Lunch... Take a couple of boiled eggs (white only) and celery ( u can add sprouts) as lunch. The fiber in the celery and the protein in the egg are a good combination to help you fill up and avoid cravings until the next meal.. Dinner.... Take soup of celery (with Spinach) n thereafter U can have normal dinner . See that u have light dinner. Good luck Friends.

Have Cabbage to lose excess weight


Have Cabbage to lose excess weight Why Cabbage? The plausible reason that can be sited is the inherent LOW CALORIE property of cabbage. Calories in Cabbage: 100g = 25 calories Additionally it has nutritional value as well. Dark green leafy cabbage is high in vitamin C as well as iron which make it a perfect food for anyone suffering from anemia as well as pregnant women due to its high foliate content. Cabbage also contains beta-carotene and potassium. As a member of the brassica family, it also contains phyto-chemicals like glucosinolates which are proven to reduce cancer, especially lung cancer. Claims made for the cabbage soup diet range from the ludicrous, ie. the cabbage soup itself has fat burning properties to the dubious, ie. you can lose 3 kilos in a week. The diet is often put forward as a quick way to drop pounds for a special event and most proponents advise that it only be followed for a week. The diet commandments Moses gave the 10 commandments; cabbage soup diet gives about 7. So there is no need to fret. 1.The diet has to be strictly followed almost religiously. 2. A minimum of 4 glasses of water per day have to be taken. 3. Keep on reminding yourself that it will last only seven days. 4. Have all the information you want handy so that referring is easy. 5.Supplement the diet with a multivitamin tablet daily. 6. Eat plenty of soup - as much as you want! Do not try to starve yourself or you'll probably cheat and break the diet. 7. Try different spices to liven up the soup and add variety. The diet mandate The Cabbage Soup Diet plan is very strict. The idea is to eat as much cabbage soup every day - enough to keep the stomach full. Also specific additional foods can be had on each day of the seven day diet. No alcohol is allowed and other drinks are limited to water, and unsweetened fruit juice on days when fruit is allowed. Day 1 : Cabbage soup + as much fruit as liked, excluding bananas. Day 2 : Cabbage soup + vegetables including 1 jacket potato with a little butter. Day 3 : Cabbage soup + fruit and vegetables excluding potatoes and bananas. Day 4 : Cabbage soup + up to eight bananas + as much skimmed milk as desired. Day 5 : Cabbage soup + up to 20 ounces of beef and up to six tomatoes. (if desired substitute broiled fish for the beef ) Day 6 : Cabbage soup + as much beef (if desired substitute chicken or fish for beef) + vegetables (excluding potatoes). Day 7 : Cabbage soup + brown rice + vegetables (excluding potatoes) + unsweetened fruit juice .

Think you are slim?


Think you are slim?
Lose some extra kilos and a few more centimetres from the waist to be healthy now. Because experts have just lowered the benchmark to measure obesity as Indians are more prone to lifestyle diseases like diabetes. Indian men should keep their waist size below 90cm (35 inches) and women below 80cm (31.5 inches). Anything more will mean they are obese, according to the new norms endorsed by the Union health ministry. The World Health Organisation (WHO) waist size cut-off for abdominal obesity is 102cm (40.2 inches) for men and 88cm (34.6 inches) for women. Breaking away from the WHO standards, experts have also lowered the body-mass index (BMI) cut-off for Indians. BMI is the ratio of weight in kilograms to height in metres squared. The new norms say a person with a BMI of 23 will be considered overweight while one with a BMI of 25 will be obese. The WHO standards call a person with a BMI of more than 25 overweight and anyone with a BMI above 30 obese. according to the new norms, an Indian with a BMI of more than 25 is a fit case for drug therapy to control obesity while those with a BMI of 32.5 or more can go in for bariatric (stomach-stapling) surgery. The WHO had recently asked all countries to formulate their own standards based on their genetic, social, and economic requirements.
