| Article Title :: How to Substitute Fat in Your Everyday Diet. |
| |
| Fat is a nutrient that is a contributor to the increasing problem of obesity in the world today. ItÂ’s stored in the fat cells of the body. The number of fat cells is estimated to be around 50 billion for the average person. It can be up to 100 billion for the obese person.
Fat cells are like storage tanks of energy to be used for later use. It has been shown that obese people who binge eat may stimulate baby fat cells to sprout to increase the number of fat cells they have.
Fats are found in foods such as butter, margarine, oils, fats, dripping, nuts and oil seeds. Research conducted indicates that good fats such as fish oils especially deep sea fish, olive oil (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Beware of Eating Too much Protein |
| |
| Protein is an essential nutrient, and is vital to your health. It is used to build muscles, skin, hair and nails. However, many people put their health at risk by eating too much protein.
The typical American diet already provides plenty of protein and there is no point in adding any more, unlike fat cells, there is no place in the body to store protein so the excess is eliminated or is seen as fat rather than muscle.
So what you need to do is to consume just enough protein to allow your muscles to be healthy, perform work and grow. But how much is just enough?
You only use protein for about 15% of your energy use, the majority of energy comes from fats and carbohydrates. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What Is A Healthy Diet? |
| |
| What is a healthy diet? ItÂ’s not about counting calories, measuring portions or cutting carbs. You won't really find a healthy diet on the lite menu at your favorite restaurant and you certainly won't find it at the local fast food joint. A healthy diet is all about what you eat rather than how much you eat.
If you think the latest fad diet is your panacea to health, you are in for a big surprise. Losing weight, staying healthy and getting back into shape after many years of diet neglect is not about fads or eating in some radical new way for six to twelve weeks and then going back to the way you used to eat.
The best thing you can do to keep yours (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Hoodia and the Battle of the Bulge |
| |
| I have tried everything, and I mean everything to lose weight. I have been on the grapefruit diet, the low carb diet, the low fat diet and the starvation diet. While each of these allowed me to lose a few pounds within a couple of weeks, all were almost impossible for me to stay on. I have tried every weight loss pill known to man. Ephedra made my heart race while caffeine pills made me nervous all the time. When the cure is worse than the disease, something isn't right. I had just about given up when I discovered hoodia.
Hoodia is a plant that grows in Africa, and what it does for me is something I can easily describe. It makes me feel full, period. Not only do I not feel like (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Hoodia Heaven |
| |
| As a certified gym rat, I'm constantly talking to different people about supplements, weight loss products, and diet foods. If it's out there, I've heard of it and probably know someone who has tried it. In the past few months, I've talked to more people about the weight loss supplement hoodia than any other product. Here are some of the things people I know have said about hoodia...
"It works, there's no question of that. I eat a lot less than I used to. Sometimes I have to remind myself to eat because I don't crave food anymore like I used to. That's a good thing since the foods I used to crave were also the foods that packed on the pounds." - Brian J.

| Imagine you're a cell.Inside your body runs the machinery that creates life itself. But as that machinery keeps running, day after day, you begin to get worn out - the friction and the processes that cause damage (here the "free-radicals" - highly destructive little entities generated by biochemical processes, as well as pollutants, UV radiation and other sources) start to create havoc and you begin to lose the battle to disease, old age and ultimately death.In fact your battle would be over much sooner were it not for the numerous mechanisms that you and other mammalian cells evolved over millions of years, as protection from the injury that can result from your normal func (read full article) |
