To make a negative calorie food list, we must be precisely clear on what we mean. There has been some confusion about this phrase. Some have thought that this kind of food contains no calories at all. This can't be true because all food contains at least some energy.
We're going to present you with a list of negative calorie foods. If you follow it, not necessarly without any other kinds of food, it will increase metabolism naturally, and the result will be weight loss - especially compared with eating a meal where these foods are not included.
Now, it's time for a definition. When we say nagative calorie food, we mean foods which contain so little energy that the body actually uses more energy to digest and absorb the nutrients. So if you subtract calories you'll burn from the calories you eat, the result will be negative. Only by digesting the food you have eaten, there will be a net loss of energy or a negative energy balance. This is what must happen if you want to lose weight but with this food you don't have to do anything but eat it to accomplish that.
You can also eat protein in combination with such food. Good protein will help you control your appetite as well as increase your metabolism because the total amount of calories are not reduced too much.
Here is the list:
Vegetables
Fennel, aubergine, gourd, broccoli, leek, cabbage, lettuce, carrots, marrow, cauliflower, peppers, celery, radish, chicory, spinach, cress, tomato, cucumber, turnip.
Fruits
Apricot, mandarin orange, blackberry, melon canteloupe, blackcurrant, peaches, clementines, plums, damsons, raspberry, grapefruit. rhubarb, guava, strawberry, honeydew melon, tangerine, lemon, watermelon.

How To Afford the Holistic Lifestyle
Here is a very interesting and eye opening article to make you take a fresh look at your health care choices. bonnie--
"Holistic health is nice for rich people." Who else can afford it?
Is massage a luxury or a therapy? What about a naturopath? Or chiropractor? Can we stay well and stay financially solvent?
In this article, I'll give you a few tips on how you can make your holistic lifestyle affordable.
Defining the Holistic Lifestyle
I say "your" holistic lifestyle, because it will be different for everyone. But let me take a minute to explain my holistic lifestyle.
My dream holistic lifestyle is to use holistic therapies as my first line of defense for every illness. And I want to approach every discomfort, every tiny little health issue, with the safest, cheapest, effective remedy first. If it proves to be too weak or doesn't work, I move on to something a little more expensive and/or dangerous. At the end of the line are the most expensive and dangerous treatments, like pharmaceutical drugs and surgery.
In my dream holistic lifestyle, my week includes a set of therapies designed to keep me well. Meditation classes, yoga and chi gong are my favorites. Then I would see several practitioners who help me stay well. My preferred types of "wellness modalities" are massage therapy (ahh!), Feldenkrais, chiropractic and some type of energy healing. I would take vitamins regularly, and I eat great tasting, organic food.
In this dream, I have a complete team of practitioners who know about each other's role in my holistic lifestyle, and everyone works together to keep me well, and to help me recover from illness when it occurs.
As a piece of the puzzle of my holistic lifestyle, I have some excellent medical doctors who see me when I need them. I don't use them regularly, because of the high cost and the fact that their remedies are extremely strong, dangerous and have fairly severe side-effects that I want to avoid if it's possible.
Okay, that's my dream. As you read about my dream holistic lifestyle, what are you thinking? Does it sound like something you'd enjoy? So how can we make it affordable?
Affording the Dream
Let's look at the challenge of affording the holistic lifestyle I've described.
The first glaring problem is that almost all of what I want is not covered by health insurance.
This is a big problem. But there is a solution.
In order to make the holistic lifestyle affordable, you must change how you think about health insurance.
I want you to treat health insurance the same way you treat auto insurance or home insurance.
Think about these situations. If you have a flat tire on your car, do you go running to your auto insurer demanding payment? No, you don't.
When you break a doorknob on a door in your house, do you call your home insurance company and insist on getting a check in the mail? That sounds crazy, doesn't it?
What would happen if auto insurance policies covered flat tires, oil changes and glove compartment springs? Our insurance rates would be really high.
And yet, with health insurance, we act crazy. We run to expensive doctors for every little thing. And what has happened to health insurance rates? They're crazy high. It's partly our own fault.
Try to think of health insurance as a way to pay for health crises that you can't afford yourself.
Can you afford breast cancer out-of-pocket? No way. A broken leg, diabetes, chronic depression or appendectomy? Of course not. Insurance is meant for these things.
But what about colds? Flu? Back aches? Sore eyes? Insomnia? Lack of concentration? Hemorrhoids?
Yes, you can afford these things yourself. Use the money in your savings account, not your health insurance, for these smaller health problems.
What if you don't have any money in your savings? Well, everyone should have some savings, no matter how poor, but let's say you don't. Do you have a credit card? You can take out an advance on your credit card to pay for these smaller health problems, and pay back the balance over time. I'm not trying to advocate credit card debt, but I think it's a little better than "crazy" health insurance rates that you have to pay every month. Also, most healthcare institutions have payment plans you can use. If neither of those work out, borrow some money from a loved one. We're not talking about tens of thousands of dollars here, just enough to meet your deductible.
But insurance is not the answer for smaller health problems.
Now that you know that, you need to find a type of health insurance that covers the big stuff (cancer, car accidents, etc.) but ignores the small stuff (colds, flu, etc.). Does such insurance exist? The answer is YES.
It is called the "high-deductible insurance policy." It is the best type of health insurance to have, for almost every situation.
The rates of high-deductible insurance are much lower than regular policies. And this type of policy opens up your choices for the lesser health problems.
You now have the choice to use Western medicine out-of-pocket or to use alternative medicine out-of-pocket. You may find that alternative medicine, including acupuncture, massage therapy, herbs, yoga and reiki, is often a better choice. When comparing both therapies out-of-pocket, alternative medicine is much less expensive. It is also often safer, and yet, equally effective.
The circle is complete. You save thousands of dollars by changing your mindset with insurance. Then you are free to choose any type of alternative medicine you wish, whether for wellness (to stay well) or for therapy (to recover from disease). It will be less expensive, safer and more healthy for you. And all you have to change is your mind.

A Great New Way to Try the Simple, Easy, Health Remedies From The Old Days
Hello readers, a few of these I have tired in the past and they worked for me. But everyone is different so try at your own risk or remedie! bonnie--
Get a FREE 30 day supply of Immutol, the world’s most proven immune system strengthener!
By: Alfred Jones
How did we cure ourselves of many aches, pains and illnesses in the past? Most of the remedies worked very well, were cheap, they could usually be found in most homes and they work today as good as they did then.
Gatorade
Did you know that? Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost immediately, without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional "pain relievers."
Colgate Toothpaste
Did you know that? Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns?
Altoids Peppermints
Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.
Aching Muscles
Aching muscles from a dose of the flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a massage oil, for instant relief for aching muscles.
Sore Throat
Sore throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar and the honey will kill the bacteria.
Urinary Tract Infections
Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just dissolve two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms. Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly, even though the product was never been advertised for this use. Alternatively, its hard to beat Cranberry Juice on a daily basis.
Skin Blemishes
Honey remedy for skin blemishes. Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.
Toe Fungas
Listerine therapy for toenail fungus. Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.

Remove Rust
Coca-Cola cure for rust. Forget those expensive rust removers. Just saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca Cola and scrub the rust stain. The phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job done.
Bug Killer
Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer. If menacing bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground instantly.
Astragalus

The Big Easies
Hey guys, here we are with the small changes again, I'm telling you it really works! Just give it a try, wouldn't you rather lose weight slower and keep it off rather than not losing at all; or losing it quick and regaining? bonnie--
25 diet-bolstering tricks that take zero effort but bring you better health even on your busiest days
by Linda Rao
As reported on Prevention Magazine.com
It happens. The busier you are, the harder it is to find time to take care of yourself. Pretty soon, you're watching those good eating habits circle the drain.
Not available in stores
TRY IT NOW FOR FREE!
* Expands actual lip volume and contour by 40.7%
* Augments upper and lower lip tissue equally
* Diminishes unattractive lip wrinkles
* 100% Natural
That's why we came up with 25 ridiculously easy tips--total no-brainers--that make impressive nutrition happen even on days when you're on autopilot. Do the Big Easies, and you'll automatically get seven servings of fruits and veggies, all the calcium you need, plenty of fiber and omega-3 fats, tons of healing antioxidants, and more.
And the payoffs? You improve your chances of fending off cancer, stroke, heart attack, and diabetes; have more energy; stay slimmer; keep your mind sharp; and sidestep urinary tract infections.
Imagine it's a typical weekday, and you're busier than ever. Now, do the Big Easies!
6 AM: Rise and Shine
You hit the snooze button for the last time and fumble your way into the kitchen. Now try these tips:
1. Drink Orange Juice with Added Calcium
If you start the day with orange juice, don't miss the chance to get calcium too. This superstar mineral fends off PMS, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. And the latest? It might even help you lose weight! Most calcium-fortified orange and grapefruit juices have as much calcium as milk--or more!
2. Take a Multi
One little pill, such big benefits! People who take a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement have dramatic reductions in the risk of colon cancer and heart disease, studies show. Another benefit: The folic acid in your multi is almost two times more absorbable than the form of this vitamin found in food.
3. Have "7-gram" Cereal
That means cereal with at least 7 g of fiber per serving, because eating cereal is your easiest chance to get lots of fiber in a small package. Not only is fiber a cancer fighter, but it actually cancels out some of the calories you eat! For example, if you eat 30 g of fiber a day--slightly more than double what most of us get--your body will absorb 120 fewer calories a day. That adds up to a 13-lb loss in a year!
4. Toss Some Blueberries on That Cereal
Blueberries are youth berries. Even frozen blueberries are so packed with antioxidants that just 1/2 cup can double the antioxidant power of most people's diets--something that experts suspect will slow down your aging clock. Blueberries actually reversed memory loss in one animal study!
5. Make Your Coffee with Milk
If you make instant coffee with hot water, all you're getting is a wake-up call. Use milk, and you've got cafe au lait--along with insurance against osteoporosis from the calcium and vitamin D in the milk.
6. Drink a Glass of Water When You Brush Your Teeth
You've got the water and the glass right there. So drink! Only one-third of all Americans get the recommended eight glasses daily. Think a little shortfall doesn't matter? Signs of mild dehydration include fatigue upon awakening, fatigue at midday, lack of concentration, and headaches.
8:00 AM: On the Job
With these tips, snacks at work can make you healthier:
7. Take an Apple to Work
Put one on your desk in the morning, and an apple becomes see-food--the handiest snack to grab when the munchies hit. If it's not there, you'll be hunting for sticky buns or whatever else is around. In addition to apples being a low-cal snack, a recent study revealed that the lungs of apple-a-day eaters may have better protection against air pollution.
8. Stash Nuts In Your Desk
Probably because nuts are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, magnesium, and phytochemicals, folks who snack on a small handful of them four or five times a week tend to live longer, several studies suggest. Just don't overdo it: One ounce of peanuts (approximately 1/8 cup) contains about 170 calories and 14 g of fat.
11:30 AM: Grocery Shopping
You dash out for groceries over your lunch hour. Here's how to be a healthy shopper even when you're on autopilot:
9. Buy Better Bread
If you eat white bread, you're eating vitamin-fortified starch. Whole wheat bread has fiber, important nutrients such as selenium and copper, and a treasury of other healthy ingredients. Maybe that's why whole-grain eaters seem to have less diabetes, breast cancer, and heart disease. Just don't be fooled by a dark color: Unless the first ingredient includes the word "whole," it isn't whole wheat bread.
10. Choose Canola Salad Dressing
Are you a salad eater? Terrific! Now look for a dressing made with canola oil, rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). One study found that nurses who got more than 1 g of ALA per day had half the number of fatal heart attacks.
11. Be Picky about Decaf Tea
Regular tea delivers a rich stew of healing antioxidants--but some decaf teas don't. If the decaf method isn't listed on the package, assume they used ethyl acetate, which dramatically lowers antioxidant levels. Look for tea that says it's been decaffeinated with water and carbon dioxide (sometimes called "natural" or "effervescence")--which preserves antioxidants.
12. Pick Up Whole Wheat Pasta
Do you need more help getting to your 30 or so g of daily fiber? Try doing this: Substitute 1 cup of whole wheat pasta (6.3 g of fiber) for the same amount of regular (2.4 g). This one easy switch pushes you 4 g closer to your total daily fiber goal.
13. Find Ice Cream that Builds Bones
You know you want some. So find a brand with 15 percent of the Daily Value (DV) for calcium in a 1/2-cup serving. That means when you eat a cup of ice cream, you'll get 30 percent of the DV for calcium--as much as a glass of milk. Same tip applies to frozen yogurt.
12:30 PM: Takeout Pizza
Buying pizza to eat lunch at your desk? Give it this instant healthy makeover:
14. Order Pizza the "Double-Half" Way
When you order, ask for double tomato sauce and half cheese. Double sauce? Many studies link higher consumption of cooked tomato products with reduced risk of prostate and other cancers. Half cheese? You'll cut down on artery-clogging saturated fat. Trust us, after just one "double-half" pizza, you'll never go back!
4:00 PM: Party Time
Your division boss is retiring, and there's a goodbye reception. These tricks build automatic nutrition into calorie-laden buffet tables:
15. Sidle Up to the Shrimp
These denizens of the deep are ultralow in fat and calories, but they taste so rich that you can really satisfy yourself--without gaining weight! (Twelve large nonbreaded shrimp contain just 65 calories and less than 1 g of fat!)
8 PM: In a Restaurant
The choices! The sauces! Here's how to automatically make your restaurant meal healthier than ever:
18. Order Dessert First
Ask your waiter if they have berries for dessert then order them as an appetizer. Low-cal raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries are rich in fiber, antioxidants, and ellagic acid, a compound that's being studied as a colon cancer fighter. Since restaurants get the very best berries, don't pass up this heavenly superfood!
19. Order Half Your Entrée as Takeout
One restaurant portion could feed an entire fraternity house--who needs all those calories? So when you order an entree, ask them to automatically put half of it directly into a take-home box. That way, it'll never show up on your plate! Staying slim helps lower your risk of cancer, diabetes, stroke, and many other illnesses. And you'll have a ready-made meal for tomorrow!
16. Reach for the Sparkling Water
Few things are more chic--or better for your health! So whatever else you drink at the party, make sure you also sip on a glass of club soda or seltzer. Staying well hydrated helps fight urinary tract infections by keeping your urine diluted.
17. Dip Your Carrots
Are you snacking only on carrot sticks? Make sure you eat them with some fat--a dab of dip or a cube of cheese. Without any fat, you absorb very little of carrot's cancer-fighting carotenoids.
20. Say "Salmon!"
Don't miss this boat! Salmon is one of the richest--and possibly most delicious--sources of omega-3 fats. By boosting your intake of omega-3s, you may help ward off depression, severe menstrual cramps, macular degeneration (a cause of blindness), fatal heart attacks, and possibly even breast cancer. (A 3-oz serving of cooked salmon has 1.9 g of omega-3s; in comparison, 3 oz of cooked chicken breast has a mere 0.05 g.)
21. Side with the Veggies
It's easy to leave a restaurant without touching any vegetables except french fries--unless you routinely order a side dish of broccoli, spinach, or whatever they've got that sounds good. The antioxidants in veggies--including vitamins E and C--prevent the free radical damage that promotes cancer, cataracts, and memory loss. Antioxidants can also bolster immunity, fending off things such as the flu. Not a veggie lover? Make them taste better by adding a little pat of butter--but remember that a little goes a long way.
22. Finish with Tea
Don't miss this chance for a tidal wave of antioxidants--tea has more than most veggies. People who drink 4 cups of green tea a day seem to get less cancer, perhaps due to a powerful antioxidant called EGCG. Black tea contains quercetin, a compound that helps prevent blood clots--the immediate triggers of most heart attacks.
11:00 PM: Bedtime
Congratulations! The day is over ... at last. Now finish up your healthy day with a few more Big Easies:
23. Have a Cup of Hot Cocoa
Love chocolate, but still want to be healthy? Good news! Cocoa (chocolate with much of the fat removed) actually has even more antioxidant power than tea!
The flavonoids in cocoa can keep blood platelets from clotting, which may prevent heart attacks. Plus, the milk in hot cocoa loves your bones! (Note: An average cup of cocoa has less than 1/10 the caffeine of instant coffee. But if you're very caffeine sensitive, bedtime isn't the best time for any caffeine.)
24. Not Drinking Cocoa? Pop a Calcium Supplement
Most women get less than one-half of the calcium they need for strong bones, so if you're not drinking cocoa, bedtime is a great time to take a calcium supplement. (If your tummy is empty, calcium citrate supplements are absorbed best.)
25. Drink Another Big Glass of Water After You Brush Your Teeth
Yup, more water. And another solid reason why: In a study last year, people who drank lots of water had less colon cancer. Down the hatch!
Even if you start with just one or two of these healthy alternatives you are starting on your way to a much healthier you that will last! bonnie--

25 diet-bolstering tricks that take zero effort but bring you better health even on your busiest days
by Linda Rao
As reported on Prevention Magazine.com
It happens. The busier you are, the harder it is to find time to take care of yourself. Pretty soon, you're watching those good eating habits circle the drain.
Not available in stores
TRY IT NOW FOR FREE!
* Expands actual lip volume and contour by 40.7%
* Augments upper and lower lip tissue equally
* Diminishes unattractive lip wrinkles
* 100% Natural
That's why we came up with 25 ridiculously easy tips--total no-brainers--that make impressive nutrition happen even on days when you're on autopilot. Do the Big Easies, and you'll automatically get seven servings of fruits and veggies, all the calcium you need, plenty of fiber and omega-3 fats, tons of healing antioxidants, and more.
And the payoffs? You improve your chances of fending off cancer, stroke, heart attack, and diabetes; have more energy; stay slimmer; keep your mind sharp; and sidestep urinary tract infections.
Imagine it's a typical weekday, and you're busier than ever. Now, do the Big Easies!
6 AM: Rise and Shine
You hit the snooze button for the last time and fumble your way into the kitchen. Now try these tips:
1. Drink Orange Juice with Added Calcium
If you start the day with orange juice, don't miss the chance to get calcium too. This superstar mineral fends off PMS, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. And the latest? It might even help you lose weight! Most calcium-fortified orange and grapefruit juices have as much calcium as milk--or more!
2. Take a Multi
One little pill, such big benefits! People who take a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement have dramatic reductions in the risk of colon cancer and heart disease, studies show. Another benefit: The folic acid in your multi is almost two times more absorbable than the form of this vitamin found in food.
3. Have "7-gram" Cereal
That means cereal with at least 7 g of fiber per serving, because eating cereal is your easiest chance to get lots of fiber in a small package. Not only is fiber a cancer fighter, but it actually cancels out some of the calories you eat! For example, if you eat 30 g of fiber a day--slightly more than double what most of us get--your body will absorb 120 fewer calories a day. That adds up to a 13-lb loss in a year!
4. Toss Some Blueberries on That Cereal
Blueberries are youth berries. Even frozen blueberries are so packed with antioxidants that just 1/2 cup can double the antioxidant power of most people's diets--something that experts suspect will slow down your aging clock. Blueberries actually reversed memory loss in one animal study!
5. Make Your Coffee with Milk
If you make instant coffee with hot water, all you're getting is a wake-up call. Use milk, and you've got cafe au lait--along with insurance against osteoporosis from the calcium and vitamin D in the milk.
6. Drink a Glass of Water When You Brush Your Teeth
You've got the water and the glass right there. So drink! Only one-third of all Americans get the recommended eight glasses daily. Think a little shortfall doesn't matter? Signs of mild dehydration include fatigue upon awakening, fatigue at midday, lack of concentration, and headaches.
8:00 AM: On the Job
With these tips, snacks at work can make you healthier:
7. Take an Apple to Work
Put one on your desk in the morning, and an apple becomes see-food--the handiest snack to grab when the munchies hit. If it's not there, you'll be hunting for sticky buns or whatever else is around. In addition to apples being a low-cal snack, a recent study revealed that the lungs of apple-a-day eaters may have better protection against air pollution.
8. Stash Nuts In Your Desk
Probably because nuts are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, magnesium, and phytochemicals, folks who snack on a small handful of them four or five times a week tend to live longer, several studies suggest. Just don't overdo it: One ounce of peanuts (approximately 1/8 cup) contains about 170 calories and 14 g of fat.
11:30 AM: Grocery Shopping
You dash out for groceries over your lunch hour. Here's how to be a healthy shopper even when you're on autopilot:
9. Buy Better Bread
If you eat white bread, you're eating vitamin-fortified starch. Whole wheat bread has fiber, important nutrients such as selenium and copper, and a treasury of other healthy ingredients. Maybe that's why whole-grain eaters seem to have less diabetes, breast cancer, and heart disease. Just don't be fooled by a dark color: Unless the first ingredient includes the word "whole," it isn't whole wheat bread.
10. Choose Canola Salad Dressing
Are you a salad eater? Terrific! Now look for a dressing made with canola oil, rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). One study found that nurses who got more than 1 g of ALA per day had half the number of fatal heart attacks.
11. Be Picky about Decaf Tea
Regular tea delivers a rich stew of healing antioxidants--but some decaf teas don't. If the decaf method isn't listed on the package, assume they used ethyl acetate, which dramatically lowers antioxidant levels. Look for tea that says it's been decaffeinated with water and carbon dioxide (sometimes called "natural" or "effervescence")--which preserves antioxidants.
12. Pick Up Whole Wheat Pasta
Do you need more help getting to your 30 or so g of daily fiber? Try doing this: Substitute 1 cup of whole wheat pasta (6.3 g of fiber) for the same amount of regular (2.4 g). This one easy switch pushes you 4 g closer to your total daily fiber goal.
13. Find Ice Cream that Builds Bones
You know you want some. So find a brand with 15 percent of the Daily Value (DV) for calcium in a 1/2-cup serving. That means when you eat a cup of ice cream, you'll get 30 percent of the DV for calcium--as much as a glass of milk. Same tip applies to frozen yogurt.
12:30 PM: Takeout Pizza
Buying pizza to eat lunch at your desk? Give it this instant healthy makeover:
14. Order Pizza the "Double-Half" Way
When you order, ask for double tomato sauce and half cheese. Double sauce? Many studies link higher consumption of cooked tomato products with reduced risk of prostate and other cancers. Half cheese? You'll cut down on artery-clogging saturated fat. Trust us, after just one "double-half" pizza, you'll never go back!
4:00 PM: Party Time
Your division boss is retiring, and there's a goodbye reception. These tricks build automatic nutrition into calorie-laden buffet tables:
15. Sidle Up to the Shrimp
These denizens of the deep are ultralow in fat and calories, but they taste so rich that you can really satisfy yourself--without gaining weight! (Twelve large nonbreaded shrimp contain just 65 calories and less than 1 g of fat!)
8 PM: In a Restaurant
The choices! The sauces! Here's how to automatically make your restaurant meal healthier than ever:
18. Order Dessert First
Ask your waiter if they have berries for dessert then order them as an appetizer. Low-cal raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries are rich in fiber, antioxidants, and ellagic acid, a compound that's being studied as a colon cancer fighter. Since restaurants get the very best berries, don't pass up this heavenly superfood!
19. Order Half Your Entrée as Takeout
One restaurant portion could feed an entire fraternity house--who needs all those calories? So when you order an entree, ask them to automatically put half of it directly into a take-home box. That way, it'll never show up on your plate! Staying slim helps lower your risk of cancer, diabetes, stroke, and many other illnesses. And you'll have a ready-made meal for tomorrow!
16. Reach for the Sparkling Water
Few things are more chic--or better for your health! So whatever else you drink at the party, make sure you also sip on a glass of club soda or seltzer. Staying well hydrated helps fight urinary tract infections by keeping your urine diluted.
17. Dip Your Carrots
Are you snacking only on carrot sticks? Make sure you eat them with some fat--a dab of dip or a cube of cheese. Without any fat, you absorb very little of carrot's cancer-fighting carotenoids.
20. Say "Salmon!"

A Little Weight Loss Goes a Long Way
I know I keep saying it but read this article and you will see more evidence that small changes, that is all it takes to attain healthy weightloss! bonnie--
By Henry J. Fishman, M.D.

Losing as little as four pounds off that soft middle-age belly can help you get healthier and probably live longer, so there's no more excuses.
Just ask the folks who published some data recently from the famous Framingham Heart Study in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Researchers in Massachusetts have been assessing the health of folks in this study since 1948.
They found that middle-aged adults who lost 15 pounds -- tough but attainable -- cut the risk of hypertension by 21 percent. And get this: while it's not ideal, their blood pressure actually stayed down even if they put the weight back on.
Those who lost as little as four measly pounds and kept it off got the same benefit. They cut the risk of hypertension 21 percent, and hence the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
In other words, exercise more, eat less, eat a healthy diet and take a few pounds off -- just a few. You'll stay healthy and live longer.
Remember I told you in the "How To Lose Weight" article that I lost 9 pounds in three months, just by stopping my Pepsi habit? Wouldn’t a small change like that be well worth lowering your risk of hypertension and all its associated health risks? I think so-simplify your life today! bonnie--

Write Off Fat In 2006
Were you a diligent student at school? If so, you may be familiar with the technique of writing to remember. Well, it may come as a surprise but writing down your intentions to lose weight can reinforce your decision and actually make it easier to stick to your programme. There is something powerful about New Year's Resolutions that are written down!
Write this down: I will lose 1 kilo this week. Whether you post this note within easy view or scribble it on a scrap of paper and toss it, chances are you'll be a pound lighter by week's end, says Henriette Anne Klauser, PhD, author of Write It Down, Make It Happen (Simon & Schuster, 2001).
Writing switches on the part of your brain (called the reticular activating system, or RAS) that keeps important messages in mind, ready for you to act on them when prompted. Just as it was when you studied for your school exams, writing things down reinforces your retention and helps shapes your behaviours. If you're aware, even subconsciously, of a weight loss intention, you're more likely to pass up the left over Christmas pudding, and walk the dog instead, for example.
Whether you like to journal and keep your notes beside your bed or post something on your refrigerator, it doesn't matter. What is important is the act of writing. What should you write to help you lose weight?
Your reasons to lose weight ("to gain energy and self-confidence"), which are good motivators and doable even if you don't trim down.
Your concerns ("Will exercise take time away from my family?"), which force you to confront and resolve them before they sabotage your efforts.
Your goals How much weight you want to lose and by when. Be realistic and realise that steady, consistent weight loss of 1/2 to 1 kilo per week is a healthy rate of weight loss.

The Main Pages Of 'My Healthy Weightloss'
Check them out for your weightloss needs:
After losing more than 40 pounds and shrinking by five dress sizes, people who see me now ask, "How did you do it?" Of course, my reply is not anything special or unique, "I eat less and work out just about every day." Everyone knows how to lose weight. I keep waiting for someone to ask me the right question, which is, "Who did you need to become in order to treat your body differently and achieve healthy weightloss that lasts?" There is a common misconception that aerobic exercise tones/firms muscles. Actually it accomplishes very little toning/firming. Resistance exercise (weight training) is where real toning/firming of muscles occurs. The health benefit of yoga practice goes far beyond the actual time you spend in the poses. One of the most common reasons why people begin practicing yoga is to improve their health and well-being. Yoga means union. It is a union of the mind, body and breath, so all aspects of your life are impacted by your yoga practice. Walking exercise is a purposeful, brisk walk specifically designed for the purpose of improving health. It is one of the best and cheapest forms of exercise. If you want to improve your general health and keep fit, or if you want to reduce your weight, walking is a good place to start. Vitamins are the building blocks for the majority of chemical reactions in the human body. They combine with amino acids and minerals to produce enzymes (which speed up internal chemical reactions) and hormones (chemical messengers which regulate organ functions and activities including heart rate, blood pressure and glucose levels).

Weight Loss: It's Routine
By Janice Elizabeth Small
Get a FREE 30-day supply of Immutol!
Losing weight is a battle, a struggle, a pain, right? That's most people's experience whatever diet they follow.
And nearly everyone finds keeping the weight off is even harder.
There's no doubt about it, the majority of diet and fitness regimes are hardly a bed of roses. And those pills, patches and potions, which are supposed to make it easy, are either dangerous or don't do what they promise.
So how CAN you make this easier?
The answer lies in your routines.
What you habitually do shapes you - quite literally. If you habitually go without breakfast and stuff your face at 11am with cookies because you're starving, you'll end up with one kind of body. If you habitually have a yogurt and fruit on waking and take an apple to eat at 11am (when you'll still be starving) you end up with another kind.
If you habitually walk everywhere your shape is likely to be different than if you jump in the car to go a mile down the road.
Routines are just patterns of behaviour. Things we feel comfortable doing once we get used to them. We don't even have to think about them. They're easy for us - automatic.
The answer to easier weight loss AND KEEPING IT OFF then , is in adopting the right routines and habits so that we don't even have to think - we just do whatever is good for our shape - automatically.
The skill is in moving from one set of routines (the kind that keep you overweight) to another - the kind that will result in weight loss and then weight maintenance for the rest of your life.
An all-out drastic lifestyle change rarely works, but if you gently change your habits and build them gradually, taking on changes that you are happy to live with for life, then you WILL find a permanent automatic solution to your weight problems.
What routines are you following today? What small changes could you make which would be your first steps to permanent natural weight loss?
Now it's time to take action and change your habits step by step to lose that weight!
