Weight Loss Diet Program - Review

There so many different types of diets that it can be frustrating to figure out which diet is the one that will work on you. What I will do is show a guide to what most diets follow. Lets establish what are the causes that make us are overweight.

The most simple reasons for overweight is the wrong foods we consume, the wrong type of calories per meal, and eating meals in the wrong patterns. This means that the type of food we consume can either make us thin OR FAT. Also, intervals at which we eat food during the day plays a role in whether we end up thin or fat. So by eating the RIGHT foods at the RIGHT INTERVALS can actually make us slim.

eating a low calorie diet will not work because when we consume fewer calories our bodies will adjust our metabolism by burning fewer calories. Lets say we consume about 2,500 calories a day then our metabolism will burn 2,500 calories, but then we start a diet where we consume fewer calories, like 1,000 then our metabolism will adjust and burn 1,000 calories and not lose any weight.

low carb diets makes us feel miserable because most low carb diets are what I call undercover starving diets where we are only allowed to eat or limited to 20 to 400 grams of net carbs per day. Starving our bodies makes us feel more miserable then being overweight and starving is not healthy.

So we need to eat the right foods at the right intervals which lead to slimmer and healthier human beings. There are 2 types of fat burning hormones which are released after every meal into our bloodstream which control the fat burning and fat storage. These hormones determine to either burn the fat or store the fat depending on the wrong or right type of foods we eat and the intervals we eat during the day. These hormones are manipulated by our diet, the foods we eat and the number of intervals we eat.

This technique is known as calorie shifting. What this means is that we consume different types of calories each day which confuses our metabolism and forces faster fat loss to happen and it burns the calories being eaten and then switches to burn our fat tissues as well. Of course, for this dieting technique to work we need to eat foods that are FAT BURNING COMPATIBLE which means the foods we eat will burn easily and then our metabolism will switch to burn our fat tissues.

Three Reasons You Should Not do Cobra

The Cobra pose (Bhujangasana)

The Cobra pose destroys all diseases and increases body heat.

In a sanskrit language Bhujanga means a cobra hence the name, mostly used in the West. In the Bhujangasana the body is facing downward while the upper body is curling up and back resembling a snake with its head raised ready to strike. This pose is mostly practiced as the first in the series of backward bending asanas followed by Locust and Bow postures. Before attempting this powerful movement of the Cobra pose the warm up of the muscles of the back is strongly recommended. during holding the pose the legs do not remain passive; they are extended down from the hips. While you start lifting your upper body from the floor be aware of the point where you have extended as far as you can without straining your back. keep your elbows slightly bent and do not push it up over your zone limit. The best way to check if you are not too high is to take your hands off the floor for a moment so that the height you find will be comfortable and safe.

during Bhujangasana the spine receives a powerful backward stretch which increases flexibility of the spine, strengthens the spine and rejuvenates the spinal nerves. Each vertebra of the spine is given a rich supply of the blood. This posture is excellent tonic for women as it tones the ovaries and uterus and it helps to alleviate the menstrual problems. By regular practice of the Cobra pose the backache can be removed.

Three important reasons not to do the Cobra pose:

1) This asana should not be attempted by pregnant women at all cost.

2) A person suffering from Hernia should not practice this pose.

3) If you have injured your back please, avoid this posture.
