Have you heard of negative calorie foods? Negative calorie foods are those which require more energy (calories) to digest than they provide nutritionally to our bodies - and people typically overlook them when trying to Lose Weight.

Dieters are often so obsessed with following the strict guidelines imposed by their diets that they limit their food intake (sometimes drastically) and deprive the body of essential fibers, Vitamins, and nutrients it needs to maintain proper health and balanced function.

Many negative calorie foods are readily available and affordable at our local supermarket, farmers market, and grocery isles.

Although they do not fit within the negative calorie food category, citrus fruits also aid the body in metabolizing and eliminating fats, and therefore are a great ally for weight loss. Among them, Lemon especially has amazing tonic properties that help detox the liver naturally. This is significant since the liver is one of the largest and most important organs of our bodies.

Need another healthy reason to drink Green Tea? Aside from fighting Heart Disease, cancer, and other diseases, a new study shows that drinking Green Tea may also fight fat.

The study showed that people who drank a bottle of tea fortified with Green Tea extract every day for three months lost more body fat than those who drank a bottle of regular oolong tea.

Researchers say the results indicate that substances found in green tea known as catechins may trigger weight loss by stimulating the body to Burn calories and decreasing body fat.

The findings appear in the January issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Green Tea: Fat Fighter?

Black tea, oolong tea, and green tea come from the same Camellia sinensis plant. But unlike the other two varieties, green tea leaves are not fermented before steaming and drying.

(NewsTarget) A new study by DSM Nutritional Products shows that epigallocatechin gallate, commonly known as EGCG, improves glucose tolerance in Diabetic rodents and could be a positive addition to dietary prevention of type 2 Diabetes, if the results can be applied to humans.

“To our knowledge, we provide the first evidence that EGCG consumed in the diet exerts potent anti-Diabetic activity in vivo in a dose-dependent manner,” wrote lead author Swen Wolfram of DSM in the Journal of Nutrition.

The study looked at 37 male mice who were severely Diabetic, and divided them into four groups. The rats were fed 2.5, 5 or 10 grams of EGCG per kilogram of diet, or a placebo, for seven weeks.

There are two ways to Lose Weight — either reduce energy intake, or increase energy expenditure. Because Hypothyroidism — even after treatment — may reduce energy expenditure in some people, patients naturally are looking for options that can help safely help raise the metabolism.

In a study reported on in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it was found that Green Tea extract resulted in a significant increase in energy expenditure (a measure of metabolism), plus also had a significant effect on fat oxidation. While some of the effects were originally theorized to be due to the caffeine content of Green Tea, the researchers discovered that the tea actually has properties that go beyond those that would be explained by the caffeine.

The same amount of caffeine as was in the Green Tea, administered alone, failed to change energy expenditure in other studies. This led researchers to believe that there is some interaction going on with the active ingredients of green tea that promotes increased metabolism and fat oxidation.

How homeopathic weight loss remedies work to treat obesity

There is no miracle cure for obesity and all weight loss solutions emphasize that diet restrictions, exercise and behavioral changes are more important than weight loss medications. Whether you choose natural weight loss or herbal weight loss you will be required to adhere to a strict healthy diet and exercise in conjunction with the remedy or herb that may have been prescribed.

Homeopathy has been a popular mode of treatment in the Europe and some parts of South East Asia. It is now catching the fancy of the American public, more so because all Homeopathic Remedies are made from natural substances like herbs, plants and metals.

Homeopathy is based on the principle that symptoms produced by a substance in its undiluted form are cured by the same substance in its diluted form. For example, arsenic is a poisonous substance that produces symptoms like stomach cramps and vomiting if ingested. Homeopathy states that if you are suffering from stomach cramps and vomiting due to any reason, the symptoms can be cured by taking arsenicum album, a remedy prepared from arsenic.

State policy seems to have done very little to curb the increasing incidence of obesity in America. Obesity is growing and practically all the States are finding it difficult to meet the national target of reducing obesity rates to less than 15%.

Obesity in adults is indeed alarming but what deserves more attention of the authorities is that 16% of children have a body mass index of 25.5 or above. This should be enough to raise the alarm as obesity is a major cause behind serious conditions like Diabetes, Hypertension, Heart Disease and stroke. And therefore, obesity can ultimately have a direct affect on the average life expectancy of Americans.

Another matter of concern is that the poor and the disabled are more impacted by obesity. Technological changes over the last century have made calories relatively cheaper. On the other hand exercise has become more expensive. As nearly half the medical costs are paid by Medicare and Medicaid, the inability to address the problem impacts every tax payer in the country.

Those having a vested interest in selling products for weight loss solutions tend to conceal the fact that there is no way of losing weight quickly. Reducing weight is a slow process and that is the way it is meant to be. Remember that you did not put on all the flab in a day and therefore, there is no way that you will lose it immediately. Excess weight cannot be wished away. It requires a concerted effort towards eating right and exercise.

If you are looking for a natural weight loss solution and wish to avoid weight loss medications, you should pay attention to the following.

Obesity has never been on the agenda of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as it has not been a social or medical problem in China. The ancient Chinese theory is based on the Yin-Yang philosophy and the Five Elements. According to TCM, weight gain or obesity is caused by unhealthy yin-yang interaction and disturbances in the balance of functions of the body organs. When you eat, the food is digested, the nutrients are absorbed and the waste material is excreted. An imbalance of these three functions causes retention of water, fat or food in the body, leading to weight gain.

Even though obesity control specifically has not been a major focus of TCM, there are many people who claim to have the formula for reducing weight naturally using Chinese obesity solutions.

Exercise is what your body instinctively wants to do especially under stress: fight or flight, and it works. It Burns off some of the Stress chemicals which Tension produces. Therefore, a tired muscle is a relaxed muscle. Regular exercise builds stamina that can help anyone battle Stress. But even something as casual as a walk around the block can help you burn off some of the Tension that you carrying around.

1. Aerobics : The word aerobic literally means “with oxygen” or “in the presence of oxygen.” Aerobic exercise is any activity that uses large muscle groups, can be maintained continuously for a long period of time and is rhythmic in nature. Aerobic activity trains the heart, lungs and Cardiovascular system to process and deliver oxygen more quickly and efficiently to every part of the body. As the heart muscle becomes stronger and more efficient, a larger amount of blood can be pumped with each stroke. Fewer strokes are then required to rapidly transport oxygen to all parts of the body. An aerobically fit individual can work longer, more vigorously and achieve a quicker recovery at the end of the aerobic session.
