WHAT IT IS? "Our nutritionally deficient, stress-dominated living as well as dieting and toxin-filled eating has abused our body systems, hormonal balances, and metabolisms to make weight loss nearly impossible. Aster your metabolism is a program designed to repair you metabolism by the way you eat and what you eat.

 Not only will you lose weight, you can also reduce your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. It takes a three-phase approach that first removes "anti-nutrients" (processed, preservative-filled foods) from your diet, then replaces them with healthy foods that help with fat-burning, and finally, re-balances your hormones with better food, exercise, and sleep habits. Master you Metabolism: 

WHAT YOU CAN EAT? YOUR METABOLISM MEAL PLAN is centered on 10 "Power Nutrient" Food Groups: 1.Legumes (peas and beans) 

2.Alliums (onions, leeks, shallots) 

3.Berries 

4.Meat and eggs (this group also includes fatty fish like salmon) 

5.Colourful fruits and vegetables 

6.Cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower)

 7.Dark green, leafy veggies 

8.Nuts and seeds 

9.Organic, low-fat dairy 

10.Whole grains 

Foods like meat, dairy and eggs should always be organic, including tough-skinned fruits and vegetables. Although, sometimes it’s OK to buy conventional foods. 

BANNED IN THE DIET are foods with "anti-nutrients" -- chemicals, trans fats, hydrogenated fats, refined grains, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, artificial preservatives and colors, glutamates (like MSG), and other additives. ALLOWED IN SMALL QUANTITIES are starchy vegetables; tropical, dried, and canned fruits, soy products, alcohol, full-fat dairy products, fatty meats, canned foods and caffeine.

LET ME POINT OUT THAT NOT ALL PROCESSED FOOD IS BAD. "Whole-grain breads and cereals, frozen vegetables, canned fruit in juice and low-salt canned beans are just a few examples of healthy processed foods." SO BE CHOOSY. 

PHASE 1 

Starts in the grocery store with suggested foods to eat and avoid. This phase is designed to help remove ‘anti-nutrients’ which disrupt hormonal balance by increasing weight gain hormones and blocking weight loss hormones. Dieters are also encouraged to remove toxins from their homes during this phase, by cleaning out unsafe chemicals used in the kitchen, bathroom and yard. 

PHASE 2

 It is all about optimal nutrition to repair damage supposedly caused by an unhealthy diet. And finally, SEEK advice from A QUALIFIED DIETICIAN on how to re - balance your metabolism to help you burn fat. STRATEGIES FOR THIS INCLUDE: 1.Eating every four hours. Eat three MAJOR MEALS and 2 MID MEALS daily, nothing after 9 p.m. 2.Eating until you are full, not till you are stuffed. 3.Include protein, carbs and fat in every meal and snack. For intense fitness, include individualized exercise plan (cardio and strength training). 


EXPERTS CONFIRM THAT EATING A HEALTHY, CALORIE-CONTROLLED DIET AND GETTING PLENTY OF EXERCISE IS A SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN FORMULA FOR WEIGHT CONTROL.

  Food Healthy eating is important for everyone. But when you have diabetes, you need to know how foods affect your blood sugar levels. It's not only the type of food you eat. It's also how much you eat and the types of food you combine in meals and snacks. Learn about planning balanced meals.  A healthy-eating plan includes knowing what to eat and how much to eat. Two common ways to plan meals are carbohydrate counting and the plate method. Ask your healthcare professional or a registered dietitian if either type of meal planning is right for you. Understand carbohydrate counting.  Counting carbs involves keeping track of how many grams of carbohydrates you eat and drink during the day. If you take diabetes medicine called insulin at mealtimes, it's important to know the amount of carbohydrates in foods and drinks. That way, you can take the right dose of insulin. Among all foods, carbs often have the biggest impact on blood sugar levels. That's because the body breaks

  Childhood Obesity? Let’s Take It Head On     Obesity in children has increased exponentially over the last few decades.   In the United States, at least 20% of children and adolescents are considered overweight or obese. In India also, there has been an alarming increase in the weight of children, with many researchers reaching similar figures among affluent urban children. What has caused this rise? The alarming increase has been fueled by the current environment of decreased physical activity and intake of calorie dense, often low in nutritive value foods. There has been a growing “Fast Food” culture with higher trend of eating out, bigger portion size and consumption of ready to eat packed foods. No wonder, international fast food chains are betting on India as their next growth driver. Marketing strategies typically target children to get them on these so called snacks, carbonated beverages from a young age.   Go to any supermarket store, candies and chocolates ar
