Natural Weight Loss Plan

Fight False Fat with Acupressure

Friday, August 20, 2010 by Kimberly Day

One of the many oh-so-pleasant things about having estrogen dominance is the tendency

toward false fat. As you likely know, false fat occurs when you have excess bloating and fluid retention around your abdomen.

In addition to choosing foods that work to reduce inflammation and bloating, you can also use a specific acupressure point. Dr. Lark has found that this particular exercise helps to relieve bloating and fluid retention, and helps minimize weight gain. I use it every day as part of my natural weight loss plan.

Sit with your back against a wall and your legs straight out in front of you.
Place your left hand on your crease of your left groin, where you bend your leg. Place your right hand on your left leg, about two to three inches above the knee. Hold for one to three minutes.
With your left hand still pressing on the crease of the left groin, place your right hand just below the inside of your left knee. The point is on the underside of the curve of the bone just below the knee. Hold for one to three minutes.

Reducing Your Belly Fat

Thursday, August 12, 2010 by Susan Lark

A recent study in the Archives of Internal Medicine (and reported in the media) reiterates what medical professionals already know--that belly fat is very dangerous and can lead to early mortality. Researchers found that even people with a normal body mass index (BMI) but larger-than-recommended waist circumference were at higher risk of premature death.

Once again, this is all the more reason to start a natural weight loss plan today. I've discussed this many times here on my blog and in my newsletter. You can also learn more about natural appetite control techniques, as well as supplements you can take to help you in your weight loss journey.

Of course, exercise is a critical component to every natural weight loss plan. Start now by taking a walk around the block! Some other excellent exercises include hiking, biking, dancing, tennis, yoga, and even gardening.

My Natural Natural Weight Loss Plan: Looking Back

Friday, August 6, 2010 by Lauren Kent

Have you ever had one of those moments when you're in the middle of your natural weightloss journey and come across a picture of yourself before the weight started coming off? I had one of those moments last night.

My sister-in-law got married a couple weeks before I started my natural weight loss plan. Yesterday, we received several pictures from the wedding and I just couldn't believe how big I looked. In every picture I was holding one of my kids, so you can't really see my body. I'm sure this was some subconscious way to "hide" from the camera. But my face. That double chin. Yikes!

My first instinct was to hide the pictures, maybe even throw them out or shred them. But, since this was his sister's wedding, I knew my dear husband wouldn't go for that. So now they sit, in the middle of our dining room table. Ugh!

I know in all natural weightloss journeys there's a "before" picture. Just seeing what I looked like six months ago really reinforced why I was doing this in the first place. I said in the beginning that one of my ultimate goals was to have a picture of me with my girls that I wasn't ashamed of. And, hopefully, I'll have such a picture by year's end.

Hot Flash Relief: Lose Weight

Friday, July 30, 2010 by Susan Lark

Research has shown that heavier women tend to suffer from hot flashes more than slimmer women. But the good news is that, according to a study in a recent issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, losing weight can help reduce the incidence of menopause hot flashes.

Considering the many dangers of conventional hormone replacement therapy, I am happy that more and more research is showing that something as inexpensive and health-promoting as exercise can provide real and lasting relief from this common effect of menopause.

My recommendation is to find an activity or exercise you love and do it often! Walking, hiking, tennis, cycling, dancing, and swimming are some great options. Ideally, you should exercise up to an hour every day. But realistically, I know this goal can be difficult to achieve if you have a busy schedule. So aim for about 30 (or more if you can) minutes at least five days a week.

My Natural Weight Loss Plan: Dealing with Disappointment

Thursday, July 29, 2010 by Lauren Kent

I've been following my natural weight loss plan for about 6 months now. And, I've been lucky in that I've lost weight each week. Some weeks it was a couple pounds or more. Others, it was just a half pound. But, at least the scale was going down... until this past week. For the first time since I started this journey, I gained weight. It wasn't a lot. A pound exactly. But, I was still disappointed in myself. I know I had overindulged and hadn't picked up my exercise to compensate for the extra calories. All natural weightloss efforts come with highs and lows. I've been riding the highs for months now. And now, I have to deal with a low.

So many weight loss efforts get derailed by disappointment. I'm determined not to let this happen to me. I have to keep my eyes on the prize: a wedding ring that will fit on my finger, a picture with my girls that I'm not ashamed of, (and cellulite free thighs wouldn't be so bad either). I'm motivated to move on and start losing again!

My Natural Weight Loss Plan: Vacation Weight Loss Tips

Friday, July 9, 2010 by Lauren Kent

Walking to the beach - great exercise for natural weightloss

My family and I just enjoyed an amazing week at the beach. Sun, surf, sand... FOOD! I know a vacation can throw a wrench in many natural weightloss efforts. But, by planning ahead, and following a few tips, your vacation doesn't have to be one where you pack on the pounds. Here's a few things I did last week so that I didn't come back heavier than when I left:

1. Limit the dining out. I know for some vacations, this is very difficult. But, if you're renting a house, and have access to a kitchen, cooking at home can really make a big difference. When you cook for yourself, you know what's going in your food. When you eat out, who knows how much butter, oil, etc. they're putting on top of your food.

2. Get active. No, you don't have to go for a run or bike ride everyday, but you can at least get your body moving in fun ways. Chase your kids/grand kids around the beach. Have a beach ball toss. Go for a swim in the pool. Jump the waves in the ocean. All the activity can really make a difference to keeping with your natural weight loss plan.

3. Individual servings of fruits/veggies. If you are able to go food shopping during your vacation, putting fruits and vegetables into individual serving-size bags makes it really easy to just grab a healthy snack. Take a bag of cherries and divide them up into snack bags. Cut up watermelon into slices. That way, it's ready for you when you want it.

4. Splurge a little. You are on vacation after all. I didn't want to keep ice cream in the house, but we did take the kids to get ice cream one afternoon, and I got a small cup. It was delicious. And, I didn't feel like I was overindulging.

Best Natural Skin Care Diets

Thursday, July 1, 2010 by Kimberly Day

There was a great article in the most recent issue of Elle magazine. They looked at several of the top natural weight loss plans on the market and had experts comment on how each individual diet affected the skin.

They looked at the Atkins diet, South Beach Diet, vegan diet, Mediterranean diet, raw diet, and low-fat diet. I immediately guessed that the Mediterranean would be their best natural skin care diet and I was right.

The Mediterranean diet is chock full of great essential fatty acids (keeps skin moist and helps attain a wrinkle free face), antioxidants (fights off free radical damage), and great lean proteins (maintain collagen and skin tone).

The vegan and raw diets are good in that you get lots of essential fatty acids to promote wrinkle free skin, as well as antioxidants to fend off those pesky free radicals. However, both diets run the risk of being dangerously low in protein. If you follow either of these natural weight loss programs, be sure to include lots of plant-based proteins such as beans, nuts and nut butters, and organic tofu once or twice a week.

The South Beach was next. The lack of sugars is great if acne is an issue, plus cutting sugar helps promote collagen production. The author suggests taking essential fatty acids and increasing water intake to prevent dehydrating the skin during the first two weeks of the program, when so many fruits and veggies are off the table (pardon the pun).

Low-fat weight loss plans are inherently bad for the skin by their very name…low fat. Your body needs healthy fats (i.e. essential fatty acids) to retain hydration and suppleness. If you insist on following this type of natural weight loss plan, add lots of fish to your diet and include a fish oil supplement.

Last was the Atkins diet. The author referred to this plan as “disastrous for the complexion,” due to the excess protein (causes calcium to plummet) and the acidity of the diet, which wreaks havoc with the skin. Not to mention the overabundance of saturated fat, which can lead to breakouts. Forgo this natural weight loss plan and opt instead for other, more skin-promoting programs like those listed earlier.

Natural Weightloss and Wine?

Tuesday, June 29, 2010 by Kimberly Day

According to the July 5, 2010 issue of Time magazine, French researchers have found that resveratrol fed to lemurs for a month helped the animals eat less, boost metabolism, and lose weight.

Resveratrol is a naturally occurring compound found in grapes and red wine. Dr. Lark has been turned on to resveratrol for years now, documenting its benefits for everything from heart protection to its anticarcinogenic properties.

Research studies have also shown that resveratrol may offer menopause support. The 1997 study from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that resveratrol binds with estrogen receptors and produces estrogen-like effects within the body. One research study in particular has looked at resveratrol as a treatment for menopause, suggesting that it may be useful in easing menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, depression, and even osteoporosis.

Dr. Lark recommends taking 200 mg of resveratrol, standardized to at least 8 percent total resveratrols, mixed with flavonoids for better bioavailability.

My Natural Weight Loss Plan: Tricks to Make Clothes Fit

Tuesday, June 22, 2010 by Lauren Kent

With many natural weightloss efforts, there comes a point where your clothes no longer fit. But, if you still want to lose more weight, you certainly don't want to spend a lot of money buying new clothes that will eventually not fit either.

I concluded that I was at this point in my own natural weight loss plan when my pants fell down as I was trying to put my 4-year-old in a timeout. As you can imagine, the effectiveness of the timeout was completely lost with my pants at my ankles.

Since I still have a ways to go to reach my goal, I've begun using small binder clips to keep my pants up. They've been working pretty well. I no longer have to pull my pants up every few steps--and they're not falling down an inopportune moments.

What have you done to make those baggy clothes last you a few extra months? Share your tricks with us!

Best Natural Weight Loss Plan

Saturday, June 19, 2010 by Kimberly Day

To get great natural weightloss results that last, eat close to the earth.

To truly lose weight and keep it off, you don’t need to look to the latest fad diet. In fact, you shouldn’t look forward at all. Instead, look to our past for the most effective natural weight loss plan.

You see, your body is designed to eat the way our ancestors ate—close to the earth, consuming lots of whole fresh foods. This includes:

fruits and vegetables;
whole grains;
legumes;
raw seeds and nuts;
cold-water fish such as salmon and tuna;
free-range poultry; and
plenty of water.

Fruits

Consume fresh, in-season fruits whenever possible. Try to eat locally grown fruits in season, as they’ll be fresher and riper, and be sure to wash all fresh fruits before eating them. Eat the fruits whole so you retain the nutrients in the skin. That means no fruit juices…too much sugar.

Vegetables

Try to eat a combination of raw and steamed vegetables. They’re fresh and contain the highest levels of vitamins. Wash your vegetables well, and leave the skin intact because it is loaded with nutrients.

Legumes

Think beans and peas. Legumes are excellent sources of low-fat protein, particularly when combined with whole grains. They’re also great sources of fiber, and their complex carbohydrates are broken down slowly in the body.

Whole Grains

Whole grains contain fiber, protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins such as B complex and E, and numerous minerals, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, and manganese. They are also excellent sources of lignans, plant chemicals that act like mild estrogens in women, helping balance your estrogen levels, thus contributing to weight loss. Stick to brown rice, oatmeal, and quinoa.

Fish/Poultry

Both fish and poultry are excellent sources of high-quality protein. Many types of fish are also good sources of omega-3 fatty acids, essential for controlling numerous reproductive and inflammatory processes. Because of this, fish such as salmon, tuna, and halibut can be eaten two to three times a week as entrées.

Water

Water is not only a natural weightloss secret, but is also the best natural skin care secret around. Water facilitates toxin elimination, helps you maintain healthy glowing skin, and acts as an appetite suppressant. For optimal hydration, you need at least 8 to 10 glasses of water a day,apart from any other liquids you’re drinking.

High-Protein Natural Weight Loss Plans

Thursday, June 17, 2010 by Kimberly Day

When it comes to natural weightloss and muscle building, protein is the key.

There is emerging evidence that diets higher in protein help you achieve natural weightloss, in part, by helping to regulate blood sugar and insulin levels. A 2003 study from the Journal of Nutrition found that women who ate less protein had insulin levels that were 40 percent higher than those of subjects who ate a diet higher in protein. Women on the higher protein diet also enjoyed blood sugar levels that were more stable than those who ate less protein.

Also, natural weight loss plans that are higher in protein also offer a few other good health benefits. First, they tend to cut wheat, refined sugar, and sometimes dairy. However, the downside is that they can be high in cholesterol and deficient in key vitamins and minerals, especially if they limit fruit.

To offset these concerns, focus on the healthy options of these diets:

lean proteins (chicken, fish, eggs);
wide variety of vegetables;
great fruits (Zone, South Beach, Sugar Busters);
water; and
green tea.

Choosing a Natural Weight Loss Plan

Wednesday, June 16, 2010 by Kimberly Day

A quick look at three popular natural weight loss plans to help you get ready for the summer.

Every year, at right about this time, women everywhere panic at the thought of putting on a bathing suit. It never ceases to amaze me. After months of hiding under long sleeves and long pants, our bodies are now on display for all to see…for better or worse.

In this new-found panic, many women turn to the latest fad diet to drop pounds quickly. Not only is this unsafe, but these fads represent a short-lived quick fix rather than long-term, healthy, natural weightloss.

To help you navigate the maze of weight loss programs, I went back to the basics and looked at a 2000 study from the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, which examined eight of the top diet programs in the country. Specifically, researchers looked at the long-term impact of these diet patterns, using a standard daily caloric intake of 2,000 calories for all diets.

I decided to take the three most popular of these (Atkins, Sugar Busters, and the Zone) and help you decide which of these three natural weight loss plans is best for you.

The Atkins diet is a high protein/high fat diet that is based on the premise that weight gain and obesity are caused by insulin resistance. In an effort to circumvent these conditions, this diet restricts carbohydrate intake to less than 20 grams a day. While Atkins allows women to eat unlimited amounts of meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and cheese, it discourages consumption of fruit, bread, grains, starchy veggies like corn and carrots, refined sugar, and most dairy products.

Like Atkins, the Sugar Busters plan is high in protein; however, unlike Atkins, it recommends a more moderate fat intake. Additionally, Sugar Busters believes that “sugar is toxic” and maintains that insulin insensitivity causes obesity and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, it strives to reduce high-glycemic carbohydrates in order to lower insulin levels by encouraging consumption of lean meats, eggs, most fruit, nuts, whole grains, and high-fiber, non-starchy veggies. However, it discourages eating any refined grains (such as regular potatoes, white rice, and white bread), refined sugar, root veggies, and baked goods. It does, however, allow red wine.

The Zone program is also high in protein, focusing on lean protein sources such as fish, poultry, and low-fat dairy products. Like Atkins, it discourages most grains and breads, starchy veggies, and some fruit. However, unlike Atkins, the Zone allows moderately restricted carbohydrates, and advocates against eating egg yolks, red meat, most cheeses, and butter.

A quick glance at the nutritional basics (fat, protein, carbs, fiber, sugar, cholesterol) shows the following:

Atkins natural weight loss plan:

59% calories from fat
35% calories from protein
5% calories from carbs
4 grams fiber
8 grams sugar
924 grams cholesterol

Sugar Busters natural weight loss plan:

32% calories from fat
28% calories from protein
40% calories from carbs
24 grams fiber
68 grams sugar
280 grams cholesterol

Zone natural weight loss plan:

32% calories from fat
28% calories from protein
40% calories from carbs
18 grams fiber
67 grams sugar
264 grams cholesterol

As you can see, Sugar Busters and the Zone are fairly similar, while Atkins is off-the-charts in terms of low fiber and high cholesterol. Based on these numbers, I would suggest working with either the Sugar Busters or Zone natural weight loss plans.

My Natural Weight Loss Plan: Supplement #3 for Weight Loss

Monday, June 7, 2010 by Lauren Kent

The third (and final) supplement I've incorporated into my natural weight loss plan is Metabo-X. Why this formula? For one thing, the Svetol (green coffee extract) has some impressive research behind it to help support natural weightloss. In one study, overweight subjects were given 400 mg of Svetol over a two-month period. On average, lost about 10 pounds and their BMI improved. Metabo-X has the same dosage as the weight loss study.

The other ingredients in Metabo-X: chromium and Sensoril (Ashwagandha), which have been shown to support normal blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. While I do not currently have issues in these areas, there is family history with each, so I feel like I'm helping to ward those issues off as well.

So there you have it. Three natural remedies for weight loss that have, to date, helped me lose over 27 pounds: Daily Answer, Silhouette, and Metabo-X.

Natural Weightloss Step #2: Green Tea

Tuesday, June 1, 2010 by Kimberly Day

One thing you’ll find me sipping all summer long is green tea. If you are looking to lose weight and kick up your metabolism, then be sure to include green tea in your natural weight loss plan.

Green tea contains polyphenols, nutrients block the enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine, a brain chemical that regulates your metabolism. The higher your levels of norepinephrine, the faster your metabolism, which in turn allows you to burn calories even more efficiently.

In fact, researchers have found that green tea extract providing 375 mg of catechins (270 mg as EGCG) and 150 mg of caffeine each day—roughly amounts found in three strong, brewed cups of tea—burned an additional 500 calories per week, with no changes in diet or physical activity. That equates to about eight pounds a year!

For the summer, I personally like Mighty Leaf tea’s Green Tea Tropical, Gypsy Tea’s Mojito Mint, or Ito En’s Teas Tea Green White bottled tea (also available at Target). In a pinch, I’ll grab an unsweetened iced green tea from Starbucks.

Undoing Estrogen Dominance--Step 2

Monday, May 31, 2010 by Susan Lark

If you suffer from estrogen dominance, losing weight is extremely important, as Kimberly has discussed.

Why is weight loss so important in balancing your estrogen levels? Your ovaries are your most prolific source of female hormones--both estrogen and progesterone. However, body fat is a significant secondary source of estrogen alone, so if you are even just a little overweight, your extra body fat can make you estrogen dominant. Losing that excess body fat is vital to rebalancing your female hormones.

Aim to exercise for an hour most days of the week. Some good exercises to try include walking, dancing, hiking, cycling, yoga, and Pilates, to name a few!

Natural Weight Loss Plan Must-Have: Accountability

Saturday, May 29, 2010 by Kimberly Day

No matter how carefully you plan your menus and follow your exercise routine, none of it will matter if you don’t hold yourself accountable.

To help you make the transition from your current way of eating to one that supports your natural weight loss plan, you MUST hold yourself accountable to leaving your former eating habits behind so you can fully incorporate your new natural weightloss efforts.

Identify Your Problem Foods

First and foremost, you need to identify those foods in your current diet and decide which ones can stay (fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, nuts and seeds, etc.), and which ones need to go.

The most common problem foods include:

Wheat and gluten products (pasta, bread, couscous, bagels, etc.);
Dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, ice cream, etc.);
Sugar (candy, baked goods, frozen treats, sweeteners, etc.);
Caffeine (chocolate, coffee, sodas, black tea, etc.); and
Alcohol.

Keep a Food Journal

You’ve heard it a million times before, but the reality is keeping a food journal really is a huge part of being successful in any natural weight loss plan.

There are several things to note in your food journal. The first (and most obvious) is to log what you eat and what time. The key is be honest. Did you have fries? Slurp down a milkshake? Don’t leave it out. Owning up to your slips is a critical part of the process.

Next, indicate WHY you ate it.

Is it just a habit?
Do you eat certain foods because they're part of your childhood?
Are you eating it because it requires little thought or effort, such as pizza and hamburgers?
Do you eat the same foods day after day because it's simple and easy?
Do you use the food or beverage to boost energy?

Also, start to identify those foods you may be addicted to. Sugar, caffeine, and alcohol are the most commonly accepted addictive foods, but dairy and wheat-products can be just as addictive.

Also mark your state of mind when you are eating. Are you an emotional eater, using food to comfort or dull some emotion, such as eating chocolate or potato chips when you feel needy, fearful, upset, or angry?

Make a brief note next to each food on your list about why you think you eat it. As you keep track of your food intake in this way, you can begin to identify patterns, bad habits, and emotional triggers. Then you can take start to take responsibility for your food choices, make better choices, and enjoy continued success on your natural weightloss journey.

Eating Out While Watching Your Weight

Thursday, May 27, 2010 by Kimberly Day

You can achieve healthy, natural weightloss AND eat out at the same time.

Dining out can often be a HUGE pitfall when you are watching your weight. Luckily, I have pored through the most common ethic food categories and put together a list of dishes to help you make intelligent menu selections, particularly if you are following a natural weight loss plan.

In general, you will want to order salads, non-dairy soups, vegetable or bean appetizers and side dishes, and vegetarian or fish entrées. I’ve found that most restaurants are willing to make up vegetarian entrées and platters at your request, even if they are not on the menu.

American cuisine: salad or salad bars, bean or vegetable soups, baked potatoes, rice, vegetable side dishes or platters, fish or shellfish entrées.
Italian cuisine: escarole soup, bean or minestrone soup, white bean salad, Caesar salad, risotto, polenta (cornmeal) with a mushroom sauce, grilled eggplant entrée, fish or shellfish entrées.
French cuisine: vegetable or seafood salads, nondairy soups, vegetable side dishes, stewed beans, fish or shellfish entrées.
Indian cuisine: lentils, rice pilafs, cucumber salad, curried vegetable or shellfish dishes.
Chinese cuisine: stir-fried vegetables, sizzling rice soup, tofu or bean curd dishes, steamed rice, shrimp and mixed vegetable entrées.
Japanese cuisine: Japanese salads, miso soup, sticky rice, sushi, side dishes and soups made with vegetables and tofu.
Mexican cuisine: mixed vegetable salads, tostada salad, bean and rice side dishes, bean or shrimp burritos, chicken or shrimp fajitas, bean or seafood tacos (skip the cheese and sour cream).

Natural Weightloss Shopping List

Wednesday, May 26, 2010 by Kimberly Day

When watching your weight, it helps to prepare with a grocery list of natural weightloss staples.

The best way to ensure you can adhere to any natural weight loss plan is to make sure you always have a few staples on hand. It will help you ward off binges and help with appetite control.

•    A variety of dried herbs
•    A salt-free herb blend such as Spike or Mrs. Dash
•    Brown rice
•    Raw almonds
•    Raw walnuts
•    Soy or almond milk
•    Almond butter
•    Herbal or green tea
•    Mineral water
•    Liquid stevia (flavored if you like)
•    Pure maple syrup
•    Honey
•    Xylitol and/or erythritol
•    Olive oil
•    Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
•    Bagged organic lettuce
•    Fresh fruits and vegetables (that fit your hormonal profile)
•    Soy or goat yogurt
•    Flaxseed

I’ve also found that the easiest way to make sure you have these staples on hand, as well as any other items you may need, is to organize your shopping trips. Before you head to the grocery store, plan out your meals for the next week, check your supply of the essentials I mentioned above, and make a list of needed ingredients to be sure you pick up everything you need.

My Natural Weight Loss Plan: Supplement #2 for Weight Loss

Friday, May 21, 2010 by Lauren Kent

The second of the weight loss remedies I've incorporated into my natural weight loss plan is Dr. Lark's Daily Balance Silhouette formula. If you read my post "Dr. Lark's 3 Natural Remedies for Weight Loss," you know that this formula helps reduce water weight and bloating.

Why do I take this formula? Well, as much as I would fancy myself a cook, the bottom line is that I do rely on some frozen entrees in my natural weightloss efforts. And, many frozen entrees contain sodium that can lead to water retention. I want to make sure that sodium doesn't sabotage my natural weightloss efforts, and add pounds to the scale.

Learn more about Silhouette here.

My Natural Weight Loss Plan: Supplement #1 for Weight Loss

Tuesday, May 11, 2010 by Lauren Kent

There are certainly no lack of natural remedies for weight loss on the market today. As part of my own weightloss efforts, I've incorporated several that I'll be sharing over the next few weeks.

The first is Daily Answer, Dr. Lark's multinutrient. Not many people think of a multi as a weight loss supplement. But, for me, I think it's critical. With Daily Answer, I not only get a great foundation of vitamins and minerals, but also digestive enzymes. These digestive enzymes help me process the additional vegetables I've been eating as part of my natural weightloss plan, so I don't have the gas and bloating that certain vegetables can cause. Daily Answer also provides b vitamins for the energy boost I need to get moving and exercise.

If you're losing weight and not taking a multinutrient, I encourage you to add one to your daily routine. From digestion to energy it can really boost your natural weightloss efforts.
