Fight off the stress = Fight off weight gaining?



Have you ever been under stress?

I think most of you might say yes. Nowadays, most people are currently living in a day where experiencing stress on a daily basis is inevitable because of millions factors such as overtime working, heavy workload, lack of rest, lack of happiness of life, worrying too much. No matter what age group or social group you belong to, life will bring along its fair share of anxiety and we need to face it hard on.

Scientists said that stress can make you fat. It is not only bad for your health, but also ruin morale and any feelings of well-being. Sleeping and relaxation also help fighting off stress. They can help you to feel more stress-free because of a hormone called cortisol which is needed and used by every single cell in body. It is an anti-inflammatory, and is usually use as a stress hormone. Why cortisol can help us fight off the stress? It is because it helps the body release sugar into bloodstream which are used for immediate energy. During under stress, or exercising, the body will release extra cortisol, therefore exercising can help us stress free.

Which foods help fight off stress?

How you feel can be directly related to what you eat. Apart from relaxation, eating healthy and stress-free foods can help you relieve stress. While you are feeling stressed out, we usually grab refined carbohydrates, which known as comfort foods, and eat them in unhealthy ways and quantities.

Instead of taking a premium chocolate ice cream or potato chips, try changing your diet to include some of the tops 15 healthy food , and see if your stress level decreases. The idea should be eat the right foods that are helping rather than harm. When you are stress out, your organs are working overtime which leads to a risk of serious illness such as heart attack. In this case eating stress-free foods will help pull you back into the game and maintain your health.

Eat pizza and get lean??

About a month ago my friend and fat loss nutrition guru Joel Marion released a program that literally turned the world of fat loss nutrition upside down.

You may have heard of it - it’s called “Cheat Your Way Thin” and it’s a system that scientifically teaches you how to use your favourite foods (I’m talking pizza, ice cream, pancakes, burgers - you name it) to strategically accelerate fat loss by overriding your body’s starvation protection mechanisms.

That’s correct, you can actually lose fast FASTER by CHEATING (when done strategically).

And while that may initially sound like a pretty crazy claim, let me assure you, it’s ANYTHING but.

Simply put, the guy has done his homework. I'm talking 6 years and 308 research papers on the regulation of human body weight and metabolism worth of homework--and from THAT (along with years of working with “real life” clients to perfect the approach) Joel developed the complete Cheat Your Way Thin system.

Now, when Joel first released the full 7-component package (including manuals, audios, video, workbooks, and checklists) last month, he also ran a special 3-day promotion in which people were able to get the entire package at less than half price.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to thoroughly review the product until just a couple weeks ago (and you know that I’ll never recommend ANYTHING to you that I don’t truly believe in).

BUT, check this out:

I just spoke to Joel and he’s agreed to open up that same less than half price 3-day sale again (starting today) for my readers since we missed it the first time around!

Pretty sweet, huh?

If you want to learn that full system that Joel's clients use to literally eat whatever they want while stripping away fat faster than most "dieters" ever could, you CAN--but don’t pay full price.

In fact, don’t even pay HALF price.

As my subscriber, for the next three days you have the opportunity to grab hold of this ground-breaking fat loss information at LESS THAN HALF PRICE.

Just use the below special link to access the “hidden” page on Joel’s site:

Frankly, I’m excited to share Joel's program with you because I know it’s going to help so many people finally "click" with dieting and fat loss.

Here’s to your upcoming success!

A Thin Body Weight = A Healthy Body Weight?


Being overweight is becoming significant phenomenon in children in the Western world. According to the research, this problem also occurs in Eastern World. It states that today’s youth may not enjoy a like span that is as long as what their parents will enjoy. There are several diseases such as diabetes, health complications, occurred most common in older people, is now affecting children at an alarming rate. Therefore, it is important to help overweight youth reach and maintain a healthy body weight. To achieve it, promoting exercise and healthy eating are the best way to reverse this trend.

It is no doubt that “A healthy body weight” is essential for a good health. Not only to decrease the risks for many serious diseases, but also to provide more energy for you to enjoy a healthier and fuller life. A healthy weight is a weight at which you will feel fit and flexible; fall healthy and energetic; and be at lower risk for weight-related health problems. It relieves stress on the back and joints, making movement easier.

However, you might notice that a healthy weight should not be confused with a thin weight. Be too thin or constantly trying to get thin with one diet after another is not healthy, even physically or emotionally.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is used to measure and classify overweight and obesity. Tall people tend to weight more due to mass associated with longer bones and surroundings tissue. This ratio factor an individual’s height into the equation. The equation is defined as follows:

The recommended BMI Chart: weight(kg)/(Height(m) x Height(m))

Underweight BMI less than= 18.5
Ideal BMI= 18.5-25
Overweight BMI= 25-30
Obese - should lose weight BMI= 30-40
Very obese - lose weight now BMI greater than= 40

Therefore, the healthy range is considered to be between a BMI of 18.5 and 24.9.
But, do remember that BMI does not give accurate results for athletes because it does not make any allowances for the body’s muscular development. Elderly people and growing children should also avoid using BMI as a method of calculating body fat. Therefore, do remember that BMI does not calculate body fat.

What is a Healthy body weight?

Although people spend billions of dollars each year on weight loss diets, there are still millions people overweighting. The portion of overweight rate is increasing. In United States, over 60% of adults are considered overweight. Although this problem is more popular in the Western half of the world, the East has been seen their own increase in obesity statistics over the past 10 years. The overweight can lead to serious health complications, such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and reproductive problem. As for these and many more reasons, it is important to maintain a healthy body weight.

A healthy body weight is not defined as how much you weight in scales but is determined by height, age, body build and gender. However, a body with high muscle to fat ratio will look slimmer than the one with same weight but has a much higher body fat percentage. This is because fat is less dense and compact than muscle and deposits itself unevenly around the hips, thighs and waist etc.

Therefore your body weight is best defined by your muscle to fat ratio or body fat percentage. The higher your muscle to fat ratio, the better, as this decreases your overall body fat percentage, increases your metabolism and makes your body more efficient at burning fat.
