This post of portion control tips is a long time coming and I hope it helps me as much as it helps you.

Damn, tonight I overate…again.

Once every two weeks my family and I go out for dinner. We were finding that we were going out too often so we decided to only go out once every couple of weeks to eat better (restaurant and fast food tend to be bad) and to save money. One side effect is that we have complete control over what we eat.

Well tonight I blew it.

Portion Control Tips

We went out for Vietnamese food and as always we order a few plates for all of use to share. I sure wish I would have written these portion control tips before I went out. I out did myself and ate twice what I should have.

I tend to graze throughout the day and my major meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner are fairly small but when I get to a buffet or get a chance to share food I do not share very well.

My portion control without fixed portions is tough. I never really portion like my wife does, no measuring cups or anything but without a plate to gauge myself by I tend to be terrible.

Here are 5 Portion Control Tips

1. Drink 1 large cup of water 30 minutes before you meal – The water will fill your stomach a little and start you thinking about the size of your stomach.

2. Dish up all food at once – The problem with how I ate today or any buffet style meal is that you do not know how much you are eating. 1 plate for 1 meal will make you know what you are eating without getting distraction.

3. Eat slowly and concentrate on all the fork or spoonfuls of food – We are supposed to enjoy our meals but I know that when I watch my kids or even myself I will catch us not enjoying but instead racing through eating a meal. Food is not to be sprinted through but enjoyed. Take your time, enjoy it with you and your family.

4. Eat only until you are satisfied – Know when to stop. Having that water before and eating slowly will help you understand how much food you need and to stop on time. No reason to eat to much.

5. Remember that this is not your last meal – Enough said. You can eat again in a few hours.

I am hoping that these portion control tips will help you. None of them are very inspired or earth shattering but as 5 tips go they are great to help you to eat better, enjoy your food and never have an excuse to overeat.

There are several types of diets and supplements available which promise you the moon. If you have used any of these products, I am sure you have experienced their true nature. Fad diets restrict your calorie intake to such an awfully low level that eating is not much different than staying hungry.

There are some other diets which make you eat like a baby. These diets, while helping you lose a few pounds of in the first few days, fail to offer you permanent weight loss. In this article I will tell you of a better way of losing all those extra pounds.

Have you ever wished you could eat and still lose weight? If yes, this article is for you. In this article I will tell you about 5 weight loss foods which would literally force your body to burn fat like crazy.

Five Fat Burning Foods

Garlic: I love garlic a lot, mainly because of its aroma. However, a lot of people hate it because it causes bad breath.

Now, if you are one of these people, you need to decide which is more important to you: do you want to maintain a ‘clean’ breath or lose weight? If you want to lose weight, then you may need to make a small ‘sacrifice’ in the form of bad breath.

In case you don’t know, garlic boosts your metabolic rate as well as insulin levels, which in turn results in weight loss.

Ginger: Equally important as garlic is ginger; this is yet another ‘must have’ weight loss super food you should consume regularly. Just like garlic, ginger also helps in boosting your metabolic rate.

Apple: Do you know that the more pectin you consume, the harder it would be for fats to settle in your body as fat deposits? Apples contain plenty of pectin, so don’t forget to include this weight loss super food in your diet.

Yet another fruit which can help you lose weight is berry. Just like apples, almost all types of berries contain pectin too.

Water: Let’s not forget dear water which sustains our body. Water has many benefits, one of which is that it increases your metabolic rate.

Another benefit is that it detoxifies your body by removing all the toxins; once your body gets rid of these toxins, losing would be easier for you.

Green Tea: Stop drinking the ordinary tea and replace it with green tea. Just in case you don’t know, green tea boosts your metabolic rate to sky-high level.

The more green tea you consume, the higher your metabolic rate would be. You should drink a minimum of 1 cup of hot green tea every day. Don’t forget to add a bit of lemon juice and honey to it as it makes the tea tasty.

Is there anything more pleasing than the pleasure of getting to eat these delicious foods and being able to lose weightat the same time? Who says weight loss is hard?

Herbal Detox Good or Bad?

No Comments on Herbal Detox Good or Bad?

I don’t know why I keep noticing these detoxing articles although today I do.

I made a turkey for the first time this weekend and messed up making the gravy. After a few hours of suffering from all the fat in the gravy I have come to the sudden realization that I would like to detox it right out of my body

When we want to detoxify our bodies naturally, we usually look to herbs to cleanse our bodies. You can’t get any more natural than greens that come from the good earth, now can you?

However, how efficient are herbs in taking impurities out of our system? This article features a list of Pros, Cons and general guidelines in using herbs as a natural detoxification of your digestive system.

The Good news about herbal detoxing

1. Herbal detoxing is all natural. There’s no suspicious complex formula or secret ingredient, so you don’t have to worry about bloating and other side effects brought on by strange chemical reactions. You should find out, though, which herbs will do what to your body.

Herbs that are known to cleanse your digestive system are Haritaki, Bayberry and Flaxseed. After cleansing your system, it would be great if you could tone your internal organs also by drinking lime or lemon juice. Think of it as a wash-and-rinse procedure.

Herbalists who advocate herbs for cleaning your colon will recommend drinking a lot of water a few days before your actual cleansing, to ready your stomach for cleansing.

2. Herbs can be taken with your food and drink. Enemas are forced into your body, while laxatives and psyllium force things out of your body. Both are rather violent procedures.

Herbs don’t have this violent effect, because they need not be rammed down your throat, nor up your you-know-what. They don’t have to be injected into you either.

You can mix them into your food, which will even give your meals better flavor. Or you can drink them as tea.

3. It doesn’t hurt your pocket. Like we said, it’s not manufactured in some high technology lab. Herbs can even be grown in your very own backyard, or even a small corner of your terrace if you don’t have a backyard, and if you have the space and the facilities.

The bad news about herbal detoxing

1. Herbal detoxing could take some time. Well, you can’t be expected to scarf a bale of herbs down in one sitting, which is probably the amount you need for instant results.

Using herbs to detoxify your body doesn’t ensure an immediate full-body cleansing. Some nutritionists who advocate the use of herbs will advise you to give yourself four weeks for a full cleansing, separate from the two days of drinking more water than you do regularly to prepare your body for detoxification.

In cleansing using herbs, patience is definitely a virtue.

2. Herbal detoxing may not be the complete answer. A full cleansing using herbs will mean your bowels are rid of unhealthy wastes and bacteria, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that your digestive and circulatory systems are completely clean and devoid of bacteria also, nor working the way they should.

Herbs can clean out your bowels, but will take more time to really clean your system.

However, if you’re patient enough, herbs will do quite well. If not, try other natural detoxification methods, such as fasting, or oxygen-magnesium capsules that stimulate oxidation in your digestive system.

The toughest part about a cleanse is doing it right and fighting to get though not eating for a while. Of course the most popular cleanse is the master cleanse. The master cleanse secrets will help you to get the most out of the master cleanse.
