Sad story of a scheme that turns into a nightmare

Sad story of a regime that turns into a nightmare

I personally know a lady who has done all his life regime by depriving it of cheese, yoghurt, milk ..... eating only vegetables and meat boiled in water without calcium intake with any candy saccharin.

His obsession: I do not want to become as big as my aging mother.

She started at age 25, she now suffers from calcium deficiency, rheumatic pain.

The relief it is not possible without taking cortisone, which has necessarily fattening.

Years of deprivation to achieve the same or worse than his mother's pain of being forced to relieve the pain medication that makes her grow inexorably, but mostly it clear that it is inconsistent for its deprivation of years have led to this result.

That is the danger of certain regimes but also an embarrassing failure in the long term.



Why does this not work?
I know some plans call for this kind of thing: lose weight by reducing the quantities.

In fact all or almost all plans are based on a decrease in your quantities or total change in your diet, they are undoubtedly effective in the short term, long term I'm not so sure.

But mostly they are often inadequate budget through French, their habits and also time for everyone who cooks has at his disposal.

Consider a typical day the French way:

A family of 4 two adults two children

Parents work, children go to school, sometimes eat lunch in the canteen and in the evening at home.

The morning is often a race against the clock:

A cafe in speed, a bowl of milk and cookies for children or cereal or fruit juice.

The French that breakfast is rare, it eats mostly bread and butter or jam or even spreads, a bowl of milk chocolate or coffee and not rarely tea.

he sometimes added a fresh fruit juice or bottled.

Noon to race again, a quick sandwich eaten in the office, a meal in a self business, and sometimes a warm meal prepared or kept warm in a box ....... the canteen for children.

The last evening meal with family, television, sometimes a meal tray tv or a family meal where finally everyone will gather around the table quickly prepared a menu of pasta, ham, eggs ... mashed packet The box of canned and frozen dish.

We can not condemn this practice in effect after 8 hours of work, children go to find the way to go ........ HARD consider spending two hours in the kitchen at night.

Then the weekend the French are catching up: it cooking fat, sugar and everything else, he overcomes.

All these situations you know, you live or have lived, you worry me too!

I also followed the plans, finally tried it, but how to make two different meals at night while one is not already obvious? how to eat a balanced lunch without having quickly tired of bland salads that do not take the body? how to prepare a full breakfast between the toilet and the youngest revision in the catastrophe of the greatest lessons not forget the clock is running and the work that does not wait?

It's simple you make a plan anyhow
and to give up just as quickly.

Because this scheme does not belong to you you have not integrated it is too far then change your habits
yes but keeping
Your habits to You
in the conscious choosing yes! you of the result

Who am I?

Before you make me confident about the ideas that follow it is important I think I present to you
You are reading this article gave a part of yourself (in time) and I think it is important that you know me before you read more.

In fact it is just 50 years and I have spent my life helping others why you today?

Because I was working in institutions and that I was not free to help people as I wanted

I spent several degrees I climbed the ranks to finally be able to help another, but certainly the institution offering me a salary certainly has not helped me realize, too much brake too much wheel to crush can finally express themselves so I took risks for you
I gave up a fixed salary with just a goal to finally be useful to others. of course I sold this book it is necessary that I eat (smile) paradox for a book on diets
but above all I wanted to share what I learned in 50 years time for "bla bla" useless just want to send a message to all that everyone has a better future
a future bright and sunny

This eBook is sincerity that he may or may not help you but it has the merit of being true rarity in this world.
If I write that I'm sure he can help it would not exist otherwise.

Obesity linked to the protein content of infant milk

All infant formulas are not equal, especially when it comes to reducing the risk of obesity. Researchers at the University of Munich (Germany) have revealed that lowering the protein content of infant milk, might lower the risk of the infant to have weight problems when he's older.
Veronique Molénat

Obesity is a complex problem. We now know that food is not the only cause of genetic factors predispose some people to grow much more easily than others. However, it was also observed that infants fed with artificial milk had more weight problems later than those who were breastfed.

Berthold Koletzko and colleagues wondered whether the reason was not related to the protein content of these milks.

To test this hypothesis, they followed between October 2002 and July 2006, 990 children in the program of the European Union on childhood obesity. The researchers compared the effect on their growth and metabolism of both types of supplies: milk powder rich in protein (3g/100kcal between 0 and 4 months and 4.5 g/100kcal between 5 and 12 months) and poorer milk protein that is to say composition similar to that of breast milk (1.8 g/100kcal then 2.25 g/100kcal). The children were followed until the age of 2 years and their growth performance compared with a group of infants breastfed.

The monitoring results, presented at the conference Earnest on childhood obesity held last week in Budapest (Hungary), show that children in the group "low protein" have the same development stature as those been breastfed. In the metabolic and hormonal level, these children derive the same benefit from their diet than those who received breast milk. Furthermore, no child in the study had experienced a problem of growth which suggests that milk low in protein can be considered safe.

For Berthold Koletzko, "this study suggests that it is essential to promote and encourage breastfeeding and improve the parallel composition of infant formulas and recommend the most appropriate formulations. The results have not yet been published but for the researcher, they "confirm once more that the mode of feeding may have effects''programming''long-term early development and future health of a child ".

Further studies should be conducted to ascertain whether the benefits observed in children with two years still in their growth.

Go easy on fatty fish during pregnancy

Pregnant women who eat lots of oily fish were more likely to have smaller babies.

Is it safe to eat fish during pregnancy? Scandinavian researchers have recently shown that pregnant women who eat lots of oily fish were more likely to have smaller babies. Guilty: the pollutants in fish tissue.

Dr. Thorhallur Ingi Halldorsson and colleagues at Copenhagen followed the pregnancy of almost 45 000 Danish between 1996 and 2002. By following the eating habits of expectant mothers and the health of babies, researchers have found that there was a link between the frequency with which the mother consumed fatty fish and the birthweight of their babies. They have thus revealed that women who consume more than 60 grams of fatty fish per day, equivalent to about two servings per week were 24% more risk of having a baby of low weight to mothers who ate the equivalent of less than 5 grams of fish per day.

How to explain? Because of persistent organic pollutants that contaminate the flesh of oily fish. Some of these substances are suspected to slow fetal development. Should we ban the fish during pregnancy? "No, say the researchers. Because fatty fish are also an important source of omega-3 fatty acids essential for the proper development of baby. "

The solution? Monitor the source of his fish. "Levels of contamination vary from one region to another, say the authors. The ideal is to learn. " Hopefully your fish will be able to guide you ...

Protocol for determining the GI of a food

Ideally, it should provide 8 or 10 volunteers and tested 2 to 3 times for both the reference food (glucose) that the food which we seek the IG. If this is impossible, merely by voluntary testing, but each volunteer must provide a value for glucose and the reference food.

Receive volunteers at the hospital the day before the test.
Take the conventional measures (height, weight, blood pressure ...)
Serve a light dinner low GI at a time that ensures that volunteers have fasted for 10 h before the first test.
Usually awakenings take place between 6 and 7: 00 am, test begins at 7 pm 30.
Basal blood sampling with a mini-lancet device or self-biting (Autolet ® Miles Autoclix ® Boehringer). Note that it is advisable to measure insulin and more glucose an index for determining insulin in addition to glycemic index. It is also advisable to eliminate the volunteers whose fasting glucose is 7.0 mmol / l or more.
To facilitate the circulation device, you can ask for volunteers to move his hands under warm water for about 5 minutes before each blood sample.

Then the food (ie the reference food: 50 g glucose is to test the food containing 50 grams of digestible carbohydrates) are used and must be consumed by each volunteer for 15 minutes. The countdown begins when the subject is fed.
It may be useful to meet regularly sensation of hunger on a calibrated ruler for the occasion.
Blood samples were taken 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min after the beginning of the "meal".
IG (%) is calculated by dividing the incremental area under the curve (IAUC) of the food tested by the incremental area under the curve of the reference food (IAUC) and multiplying the result by 100.
GI is calculated individually for each volunteer separately from its response to the food tested and its response to the reference food.
If each volunteer was tested repeatedly for the same food and the reference food (which is preferable), it is the average GI by topic.
For the GI of the food, being averaged from the respective averages of each volunteer.
The variability of the GI of each food is measured by standard deviation of the mean.

The Mediterranean diet pyramid

This pyramid reflects the traditional eating habits of Mediterranean countries has some similarities with the French pyramid.
Indeed, the basement and first floor are identical to official guidance: a balance of grain products to fruit, vegetables, legumes. It is distinguished from the third floor is an added fat (olive oil). Following dairy products, fish and meat and poultry. Confectionery and red meat are pushed to the edge of the pyramid.

What are the secrets of happiness?

Happiness, according to the dictionary, is defined as follows: Happiness is a state of consciousness fully satisfied, bliss, welfare, happiness, pleasure, contentment, delight, euphoria, ecstasy, joy, delight, satisfaction.

Happiness is a well-being that is felt from within. Each person is responsible for his own happiness. It must come from themselves. People are led to believe that people or things they can buy happiness, but wrong.

Happiness must happen within us then appear on the outside and produce positive energies or vibrations around us, then shines on everything that surrounds us immediately.

If we decide to worry about the happiness of others, well, it must be done by choice, taste and fun to do, and without any expectations. This must be done in order to simply satisfy our own pleasure to serve.

To achieve happiness, the first attitude is adopted to expect nothing from others and make the first move yourself to the other, because they are concerned about their own pursuit of happiness. If I myself am unhappy, it is impossible for me to make others happy. Happiness is inside of everyone, just to find, learn to love oneself, to be good about yourself before you can feel happy and that this state of being at the rayon 'outside of us.

Nobody is obliged to satisfy our desires or our whims. We are responsible for our own happiness. Anyway, whatever we do, there are always people who we never will please. As the happiness we seek is linked to other things and we'll never be happy. Perhaps we shall be on the present moment, but when we acquired the thing desired, the vacuum is relocated and we are not happier either.

If happiness does not depend on anything or anybody, whether from the universe and that we find ourselves in ourselves, then we'll be happy in a state of well-being, and without really know why we're happy.

So no matter what people think and say about you and around you makes you stronger and makes you grow is to realize that this state of well-being goes to you and you become aware.

The more you move the energy of happiness, the more you receive. Happiness is made to move and not to put in the bank because there is always inside you.

When people are happy and have inner peace, they do not have to shout from the rooftops, it is felt, people see and feel. That happiness, true! So live, let live and enjoy it, because everything else will be more value in your life!

To share the experience of Josée Brousseau, wife of wealthy businessman, author and webmaster, learn tips to be happy as a woman.

Learning to be assertive

How many times have you criticized for saying yes too quickly?
Yes, a friend to accompany her to appointments, Yes to the movies, when you thought you'd rather save in comfortable clothing you do a TV tray,
Yes, to keep the children in your beautiful sister, Yes to go tinkering with a colleague or help move ...

So many moments of frustration when you said: "But why do I still said yes? "
Why do we not know say no?

- Because we have not learned to do: have you the right to say no to Dad, Mom, the "large" in general?

- Because it may be a way for us to exist, to be useful to render services.

Do not mean that you should never say Yes!
But just ask yourself the question:
"Is that to say Yes is good for me? "
Yes, because you'll also get pleasure in keeping the children in your beautiful sister, yes, because you really want to please this friend ...

No, because you're tired and your body needs to rest, not because you have another invitation that will delight you ...
Get used to take a little time before responding, or return to your appointment quickly, saying:
"I responded a little faster but I can not, without necessarily justify yourself, just give you the right to be yourself in your priority needs.

We listen very often our 'false needs', that is to say what we do for pleasure or fear of displeasing.

And if you listen to your real needs, those that are good for you?
It is learned, because surely you've never done, you do not dare for fear of being selfish.
But the more you are happy, well in your life, the more you bring all this to the people around you. A child who feels his parent happy advantage of all this beautiful energy of this very good role model for his future in the adult world.

So dare to say No!
