Do you Want to Lose Weight Fast?

Many people want to lose weight fast. One of the first things you need to do is reduce your calories. Instead of keeping a 2,000 calories a day, reduce it by 500 and calculate your meals based on 1,500 calories. Drink more water that will fill you up. Whenever you are hungry drink a couple of glasses of water. Plan your exercises on a daily basis, but think what is the best exercise for you.

Kick your slim-down efforts into high gear by starting each meal with about 32 ounces of water.

If you do this you will lose about 5 lbs faster and you will drop about 45% faster. Think also that if you are well hydrated you are curbing your hunger and it even helps your skin. Exercise is good but be careful. Some people have back problems and should be careful about the kind of exercise they do. Walking is one of the best exercises and it won't hurt your body. We all need to walk.

Do you Know How to Protect your Liver?

Very often we hear about vegetables that are affected by the environment and how can they damage our health. Here is one vegetable that even if we don't like it we should try it because it can protect our liver. It's the spinach.

Chlorophyll and chlorophyllin, two substances found in spinach and other leafy greens, may help reduce the body's absorption of aflatoxin, a common but potentially harmful type of environmental toxin.

"Aflatoxin is a problematic substance produced by the molds that grow on certain food crops, like corn, cottonseed, peanuts, tree nuts, and wheat. And since aflatoxin is known to cause liver damage, the FDA sets limits on how much can be in our food sources. But you may be able to add an extra measure of protection by eating leafy greens. When volunteers in a study were exposed to very small, safe doses of aflatoxin, less showed up in their systems if they were also given a little bit of chlorophyll or chlorophyllin".

"Chloro Chemistry
Researchers believe chlorophyll and chlorophyllin may form some sort of beneficial bond with aflatoxin that reduces intestinal absorption. In addition to spinach, other good sources of chlorophyll include broccoli, parsley, green beans, kale, arugula, and leeks. And here are some delicious ways to enjoy some of these veggies:

• Add spinach to a delicious pasta dinner: Spinach Gnocchi.
• Whip up an elegant, delicious, chlorophyll-rich appetizer: Broccoli and Goat Cheese Souffle.
• Try a healthier twist on this classic comfort food: Fresh Green Bean Casserole."

Try making mash potatoes and then once the spinach is slightly boiled add cheez whiz and put that on top of your mash potatoes. It's good. I have done it myself.

Here is a list of calories in spinach depending whether boiled, steamed....

• Approx 6 - 7 calories in each ounce or 28g of boiled or steamed spinach
• Approx 21 calories in ½ a cup of boiled or steamed spinach
• Approx 41 calories in 1 cup (6.3 oz or 178g) of boiled or steamed spinach
• Approx 23 calories in 3½ ounces or 100g of boiledor steamed spinach
• OR RAW
  
• Approx 65 calories in one 10 oz bunch of raw spinach
• Approx 78 calories in one 12 oz bunch of raw spinach
• Approx 7 calories in each ounce or 28g of raw spinach.

Happy Cooking!

New Ideas for weight loss

• When food is cooked, canned or processed, then the sugars are converted into starches.
• Starch and sugar carbohydrates require an alkaline digestion. (such as breads, candies, cereals).
• Do not start a raw food diet suddendly. It's better to make changes gradually, but as quick as possible, in a consistent way.
• Eat raw foods one, two or three days a week and the rest of the week plan carefully what combination of meals you want to have but drink a lot of liquids, can be one or two glasses of raw vegetable juices. Next time I will expand more on the juices.

Recipe for Weight Loss

Dr. Norman Walker lived to be 115 years and he always promoted salads if you want to get rid of those unwanted pounds.

Here is one:

Everyone loves salads and you can always add whatever other vegetables you want.

Carrots, 2 tablespoonfuls
Lettuce, 2 tablespoonfuls
Tomato, 1/2 medium sized
Celery 2 tablespoonfuls
Red Cabbage, 2 tablespoonfuls
Radishes, 5 small
Apple, 1 large - shredded, preferably Delicious
Avocado, 1/2 medium sized
all of these finely grated, chopped divided into small segments
For garnish - 1 date, chopped walnuts, maraschino cherry, watercress

Arrange in layer beginning with carrots, one top of the other up up to and including a banana. Place radishes around the side of the dish, grated apple in the center, avocado slices around sides, one date quartered placed cross-like in the center, nuts sprinkled over top and maraschino cherry in center. Garnish around edges with watercress.

I work at a hospital and they have salads like this one in which they sprinkle the walnuts and they use a salad dressing like Thousand Island, but for best results use lemon and salt, less calories for you. I hope this works for you. I will be adding more recipes. Come back and see or ask me for more please leave your name and email, thanks.
