Doctors and nutritional experts have been sounding the alarm about the dangers of heart disease for some time, providing a lot of information about how to lower cholesterol. Many people take this as a sign to rid their body totally of this substance, unaware that LDL cholesterol is necessary in a small amount and only when it exceeds a certain level does it become a problem.

In addition, LDL cholesterol is not the only type of cholesterol produced by the human body: there is also HDL cholesterol which can remove the LDL cholesterol that’s not needed by the body. So why do you need to learn how to lower cholesterol at all?
When the level of LDL reaches a certain point, HDL cholesterol is unable to handle the task which can lead to accumulations within the heart arteries and block your blood stream. If the blockage becomes severe, this can lead to chest pains or a heart attack. Every year thousands of surgeries are performed to repair this damage. To avoid this life-threatening and expensive procedure, it’s in your best interest to learn how to lower cholesterol through eliminating saturated fats, exercise and proper nutrition.
This is the most effective approach to ensure your optimum state of health, not just for your heart, but your entire body. While the foods and nutritional supplements you consume are important, your body requires a certain level of exercise in order to utilize the nutrients that these substances provide to keep you feeling fit and healthy.

There are some diets available today that it’s difficult to know which one will work for you. Even though the Cabbage Soup diet makes fantastic promises, experts say that for most dieters, this method of losing weight has to be used with care.

While it’s true that the Cabbage Soup Diet doesn’t make scientific claims on how it works, it’s common to see all of the versions working from the same premise: if you eat lots of cabbage soup when you're hungry, you will be able to complete this seven day diet successfully, resulting in a weight loss of 10-15 pounds.
The problem for most experts is the extent the dieters health suffers from the lack of proper nutrition. It’s impossible for the body to function at its best when the diet lacks enough vitamins and mineral. Medical experts also frown upon the fact that the Cabbage Soup Diets doesn’t provide advice about the importance of exercise and behavior modification to help keep excess weight at bay. The Cabbage Soup Diet may keep you satisfied enough to sustain this very low-calorie diet for a week, but continuing this regimen for more than 7 days at a time is not recommended. Unfortunately, the weight loss that results from this diet is primarily “water weight” and not excess fat, which means that most often dieter regain the weight when they resume their normal diet: creating a huge disappointment for the dieter who endures the seven days of calorie reduction with hopes of permanent weight loss.

Is The Cabbage Soup Diet Effective

Is The Cabbage Soup Diet Effective - Flat Belly Diets Tips 2009

The Cabbage Soup Diet only provides the minimum basis for the nourishment your body needs each day. This is one of the main concerns of doctors and other health care providers for individuals who decide to use this eating plan to lose weight. For medical professionals there is little doubt that the Cabbage Soup Diet lacks all of the qualities of a balanced and varied eating plan. It’s a proven fact that modifying your eating habits in combination with regular exercise is the right formula for long term weight loss that can be maintained.
Cabbage Soup Diet Is Very Effective

Not only is the Cabbage Soup Diet monotonous, at best it only provides a short-term fix, which results in a weight loss from fluids rather than the targeted excess fat. Reducing the amount of fat is what is most important to improving health as well as providing the body with the required nutrients. The Cabbage Soup Diet doesn’t encourage changes in the dieter’s lifestyle and all too often when the normal eating pattern is resumed the weight that was lost returns, perpetuating feelings of failure. Most people who experienced this don’t understand why and in turn don’t believe that diets work.
At best, the Cabbage Soup Diet could be considered a modified fast, but it’s wise to check with your health care provider before you do; many people who plunge into this seven days of restricted foods have reported feelings of lightheadedness and gastrointestinal discomfort while on the plan because of lack of calories and the high volume of consumption of gassy foods.

Delicious Foods And Flat Belly Diets

Delicious Foods And Flat Belly Diets - Summer Fall 2009

Many people wonder if Flat Belly Diets are too good to be true. How can you lose excess weight by eating additional meals? For years the general rule to losing weight was calorie reduction. However the human body is under the control of the brain and when you reduce your daily caloric intake, your brain sends out the message to your body to begin storing fat to use for energy.
Exercise and Burn Your Calories

This is why it’s important to exercise whenever you begin to cut calories: to encourage the body to use the stored fat for the energy you need to exercise. Some frustrated dieters turn to diet pills to lose weight, in most cases, these diet aids are only meant to increase the metabolism rate giving you more energy to exercise and burn calories.
Flat Belly Diets work with this understanding and use “calorie shifting” to keep your body “guessing” about your diet so that you continue to lose weight until your body is at its optimum level. Using delicious foods such as; dark chocolate, avocado, olives, almonds and peanut butter, that most diets do not promote, Flat Belly Diets force the body to use not only the stored energy in your muscles, the carbohydrate “glycogen,” but the visceral fat that is stored deep in the abdomen around some of your most important body organs.
The delicious foods of Flat Belly Diets combined with the calorie shifting technique can help you avoid the dreaded “diet plateau” and achieve your ideal weight.

The research that has been done to select the foods combined with the calorie shifting technique can help you avoid the disappointment others have experienced when they reach the point where they cannot lose more weight and falsely believe that diets don’t work.

But the fat-burning effect of monounsaturated fats on the body along with “calorie shifting” is the key. This way of eating keeps your body unable to set a plateau which enables you to continue to lose weight, using the carbohydrate “glycogen,” which your body has stored in your muscles for energy and eliminating the dangerous visceral fat that surrounds your internal organs in your abdomen.

Because the meals are designed around delicious foods instead of just calorie content; this prevents your body from reaching this “plateau” and enables you to lose additional weight particularly from your waistline.

Successful Flat Belly Diets - Summer Fall 2009 Edition

Flat Belly Diets are producing fantastic results for many people, who follow a dietary plan that includes foods high in monounsaturated fats (MUFAs). Many of these foods maybe a part of your diet already, but without reducing the number of calories and eliminating certain other foods your weight loss may not be significant.
Successful Flat Belly Diet

For a large number of people the amount of salt, sugar, saturated fat and carbohydrates consumed daily is the major problem. Using salt adds extra sodium to your body chemistry which makes it easier for you to retain water and creates a “puffy” appearance. Avoid using salt in your cooking, be aware that many of the “ready to eat” foods sold in supermarkets are very high in sodium content.
If you are a women with a waist measurement over 35 inches or a man whose waist measures larger than 40, the National Institutes of Health recommends slimming down. Flat Belly Diets work because it gives your body the opportunity to use its backup energy source carbohydrates “glycogen” that’s stored in your muscles. Decreasing the amount of carbohydrates for a short period of time eliminates excess fluid and carbohydrates.
Flat Belly Diets work best when certain foods that produce volume and air are not eaten; such as bulky raw vegetables and gassy foods which are difficult for the body to digest. Cooked vegetables take up less room and avoiding certain foods like citrus fruits or legumes and sugar substitutes like xylitol will lessen the amount of air in your GI tract.

Doctors have found that the body mass index is a less accurate forecaster of heart attacks than the size of your waistline. According to the National Institutes of Health, regardless of your total body weight, for women, the waist measurement should not exceed 35 inches, while a man’s waist should not exceed 40 inches.

During the April 2008 study commissioned by Prevention Magazine at Yale University Prevention Research Center at Griffin Hospital in Derby, CT, the test panel of nine overweight women followed the Flat Belly Diet for 28 days. Researchers tracked their progress using MRI scans and monitoring their key health indicators.
Beside the amount of weight loss that the women experienced, the research showed that every one of these key indicators improved in a short time. The results were impressive in terms in the amount of reduction in visceral fat to blood pressure to cholesterol, making it easy to see why Flat Belly Diets are one of the most popular today.
