      1. Stay Hydrated Water should be your go-to choice for hydration. In addition to the potential for  negative effects of sugar on your health, sweetened drinks usually offer very little, if any, nutritional value.    Avoiding sugary beverages like soda and energy drinks is especially important if you're trying to cut carbs. Choosing water will also help you avoid adding extra calories—either from the beverage itself or overeating later.   When you reach for a sweet drink instead of a meal or snack when you're truly hungry, you’re not likely to feel satisfied and may fill up on “empty calories”.   One hundred calories of apple juice will leave you hungrier than 100 calories of an actual apple.         2. Eat Your Veggies When you first start a no-carb diet, one of the food groups you’re likely to stock up (and fill up) on is non-starchy vegetables, like greens, sprouts, cauliflower, and mushrooms.       ...

First, let us Understand the pH Level in our Bodies Most people don't stop to consider the acid/alkaline balance in their blood, but an optimal pH is actually crucial to one's health. Human blood is a solution, meaning that it is made up of a uniform distribution inside a liquid. Having a balanced pH protects our bodies from the inside out. Some even say that diseases and disorders cannot grow in a body whose pH is in balance. An imbalanced pH allows unhealthy organisms to grow, damages tissues and organs, and hurts the immune system. The  body’s  optimal pH is 7.36, which is just barely alkaline. Because most people are too acidic, it is best to focus on alkalizing the body to maintain proper health. An acidic environment in one's body will decrease its ability to repair damaged cells and detoxify heavy metals. It also creates an environment for tumor cells to thrive, and it makes the body more susceptible to fatigue and illness. Acidosis is more common  in today’s socie...

  1. Know where you are starting. Keep a food dairy for three days. Track all the food and beverages you eat along with the portions. Identify how often you are eating away from home, eating takeout, or buying food on the run.   2. Home in on your goal and make a plan. What is your goal? Do you want to lose weight to improve your health? Do you dream of fitting into an old pair of jeans? How will you achieve your goal? Will you cook more meals at home? Will you eat smaller portions? Be specific and start small.   3. Identify hunger and satiety cues. Be aware of physical versus emotional hunger. Do you eat when you feel something physical in your body that responds to food? Or do you eat when you are stressed, bored, tired, sad, or anxious? Try to stop eating BEFORE getting full (it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register “stop eating” signals from your stomach).   4. Focus on the positive changes. Changing behavior takes time — at least three months. Don’t ...

  1. Blood sugar control One of the most important steps towards reversing insulin resistance and preventing future complications is to normalise blood sugar. When blood sugar is normalised, our cells start their own healing process and begin to regain proper function, this has a knock-on effect on our vital organs and the reversal can start. To achieve this, we need to look at what we eat, how we move, consider our mental health and be focused on the end goal of reversing insulin resistance. 2. Carbohydrates Every type of carbohydrate will increase blood glucose and insulin levels and this is what we need to focus on and maintain. It is important to reduce the amount of carbohydrate (sugar and starch) in the diet. This is because all carbohydrates cause the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood to rise and also cause the release of insulin into the bloodstream. Reducing carbohydrates, therefore, helps directly by keeping the blood glucose level stable and avoids high insulin level...

  1.     Stop Eating Carbs  One of the quickest ways to a flatter stomach is by getting rid of “bad” carbs. So, no more bread or pasta, anything that contains gluten should be banned and binned (the supermarkets are full of gluten-free products nowadays), no more potato crisps, breadsticks or white rice. You can still eat carbs but make them good carbs such as vegetables, lentils, peas, kidney beans, most nuts and seeds and your wholegrain carbs such as pure oats, brown rice and quinoa. When you cut carbs out of your diet, your body eventually reaches a state of Ketosis, so it burns off fat.   2.     Drink water    The best liquid to drink is undoubtedly water and actually, upping your intake of H2O will help to reduce your belly. Contrary to popular belief, not drinking water will bloat you out more and have you ever thought that the excess belly fat is a combination of fat and bloating? Water retention is the number one cause of b...

  1. Intermittent Fasting Changes The Function of Cells, Genes and Hormones When you don’t eat for a while, several things happen in your body. For example, your body initiates important cellular repair processes and changes hormone levels to make stored body fat more accessible. Here are some of the changes that occur in your body during fasting:  Insulin levels:  Blood levels of insulin drop significantly, which facilitates fat burning. Human growth hormone:  The blood levels of growth hormone may increase as much as 5-fold. Higher levels of this hormone facilitate fat burning and muscle gain, and have numerous other benefits. Cellular repair:  The body induces important cellular repair processes, such as removing waste material from cells  Gene expression:  There are beneficial changes in several genes and molecules related to longevity and protection against disease  Many of the benefits of intermittent fasting are related to these changes in ...
