Weight Loss Diet: Healthy Eating, Losing Fat and Calories

Losing weight: Diet is the practice of eating in a regulated fashion to achieve a particular, long-term objective. The most common objective is loss of excess body fat. Weight-loss diets restrict the intake of specific foods to reduce body weight. What works to reduce body weight for one person will not necessarily work for another, due to metabolic differences and lifestyle factors. Today there are lot of quick weight loss products available, but not all of them are efficient.

Study: Healthy lifestyle triggers quick and dramatic genetic changes
Total lifestyle changes can lead not only to a better physique, but also to quick and dramatic changes at the genetic level. In a study, the researchers tracked 30 men with low-risk prostate cancer who decided against medical treatment like surgery. The men underwent major lifestyle changes: eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and soy products, moderate exercise like walking for half an hour a day, and everyday stress management. After 3 months the men had changes in activity in about 500 genes: 48 were turned on and 453 genes were turned off.

Increasing the flavor of food may aid in weight loss
People who are overweight may be able to shake off pounds by adding special seasonings and sweeteners on the food they eat. These "tastants" stimulate the sense of smell and taste, making people feel fuller faster and causing them to eat less, a study found. "This approach uses natural physiology to help people lose weight, which is different than other approaches. We know that diets do not work because people do not have the will power to succeed. Instead of looking at the front end - how people eat - we looked at the back end, how can people feel full faster?" said Dr. Alan Hirsch.

10 ways to lose 10 pounds
(1) Stabilize blood-sugar levels. Overweight people tend to have highly fluctuating blood-sugar levels. Irregular blood sugar levels cause a domino effect of body changes beginning with the secretion of hormones that in turn boost insulin resistance and other phenomena that cause you feel sluggish and to eat more. Select foods that are low on the glycemic index, high in water-soluble fiber and high in protein. (2) Spoil appetite before you get to the high-calorie part of the meal. Have a bowl of vegetable soup or a salad before the main course.

Men and women metabolize fructose differently
Men and women seem to differ in how they metabolize high levels of fructose, a simple sugar used to sweeten drinks and foods. Short-term high fructose intake among men caused increased blood triglycerides (fats) and decreased insulin resistance, factors linked with an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. In the men, fructose supplementation caused significant increases in 11 of the 12 factors, like 5% increase in fasting glucose and 71% increase in triglyceride levels. Women showed 4% increase in glucose and 16% increase in triglycerides after the high fructose diet.

How to lose weight without losing bone : Higher-protein diet
A higher-protein diet that stresses lean meats and low-fat dairy foods as sources of protein and calcium can mean weight loss without bone loss - and the evidence is in bone scans taken throughout a new study. "This is an important finding because many people, especially women in mid-life, are concerned with both obesity and osteoporosis. Furthermore, treating obesity often increases risk for osteoporosis. Many people lose bone mass when they lose weight," said Ellen Evans.

Parents can hinder teen weight loss with too much talk
Parents of overweight teens seem to be all talk and no action when it comes to helping their children reach a healthy weight, says to new research. Parents who recognized their children as overweight were more likely to encourage their children to diet, but they were not more likely to have better family meal practices, such as having readily available healthy food choices such as fruits and vegetables at home rather than candy or snacks. Findings underline the importance of creating a healthy home environment. Parents must "talk less and do more" when supporting kids to become fit and trim.
