G N I E B F O ? T H G I E T ERW V O D E IR Maintaining a healthy weight is key for optimal health. Many health problems are correlated with being overweight or obese. The first step to achieving an optimal weight is to practice healthy lifestyle and eating habits. The following are some lifestyle recommendations for achieving weight loss goals and maintaining a healthy weight throughout life: Diet is absolutely the first place to start. Firstly, the word “diet” should not be scary. A healthy diet does not mean starvation or lack. Fad diets where eating is highly restricted or where you need to precisely measure each serving of absolutely everything on your plate is not realistic. A diet where the aim is a healthy body weight should be one that can be maintained for a lifetime. Though one may get quick results from diets that call for extreme calorie restriction, the results do not tend to last long-term and hence we find the origins of the term “yoyo dieting”. The first step to a healthy diet is to eliminate or reduce everything “white”. This means: white bread, white rice, white potatoes and white sugar. Avoiding all sugar would be ideal. All of the foods mentioned above are very high on the glycemic index. This means that they convert to sugar quickly and cause us to gain weight more easily. Some healthier alternatives to the “white” foods mentioned above are: whole grain breads, brown rice, sweet potatoes and stevia (low glycemic natural alternative for sugar). A healthy dinner plate should look something like this image. 1/4 complex carbohydrate 1/2 vegetables (sweet potato or brown rice are good options) 1/4 lean protein If you are craving something sweet, raspberries, strawberries or blueberries are good low glycemic options. Fats have also been given a bad reputation. Healthy fats are an important part of one’s diet. Some of these include: avocados, olive oil, coconut oil and omega 3’s found in fish. There is no reason to starve oneself to lose weight. The key is making healthy choices. While implementing a healthy diet, it is also important to exercise regularly. Exercise is beneficial for both body and mind. Exercise promotes weight loss, improves circulation, lowers blood pressure, improves heart function, moves lymph (helping the body to detoxify), improves antibody production, reduces depression and relieves stress. In terms of weight loss, one should aim for a combination of cardiovascular activity (walking, running, biking, swimming, cross country skiing, etc.) as well as strength training. Cardiovascular exercise burns calories throughout the activity and strength training helps us to also burn calories while at rest. Strength training exercises like lifting weights, squats, push-ups and sit-ups build muscle and muscle requires fuel all day. The fuel for muscles is calories. Therefore, by incorporating strength training into an exercise regime, calorie burning is promoted 24 hours a day. In addition to a proper diet and exercise, supplements containing Sinetrol have been proven to increase the break down of fats and to promote weight loss. Sinetrol is a synergistic blend of the constituents naringin and hesperidin found in Mediterranean citrus. Studies have shown the lipolytic (break down of fat) activity of these bioactive polyphenols. Sinetrol is enhanced by caffeine from guarana, which increases fat burning activity. In a twelve-week pilot study of Sinetrol, which involved 20 participants, a 22% reduction of body fat composition was observed. A twelve-week follow up study involving 95 participants found the following: abdominal fat was reduced by 9.73%, waist circumference was reduced by 5.15cm, hip circumference was reduced by 5.17 cm and increased levels of free fatty acids were observed (free fatty acids are the product of the breakdown of fat cells). Participants were taking 450mg of Sinetrol twice per day. All participants ate a normal diet and exercised for 30min/week. If you have already started your weight loss journey and have hit a plateau, adding Sinetrol to your regimen may be what you need to reboot the fat shedding. It is also a good option for those who cannot seem to lose those last few pounds. If you are just starting to make changes towards achieving a healthier weight and want to see faster results, Sinetrol can kick start your fat burning engine.
