| If a Big Mac Meal Has 1,130 Calories How Fat Will That Make You? | | 2008-07-21 04:04:00 | | Would you still eat a Big Mac, medium fries and drink a medium soda if you knew it had 1,130 calories?

| | What Are Calories? How To Burn Calories? | | 2008-07-14 06:44:16 | | We know that we need to burn more calories than we consume to lose weight. But just what exactly are calories? How are calories being burnt?Calorie is a form of heat measurement. It is the amount of energy that is required to raise one milliliter of water by one degree Celsius. Calorie measures the amount of heat or energy that is released when you burn food down.Calories are burnt through a complicated process that oxidizes food to its basic components. For example, if you burn a sugar, it will turn into carbon dioxide. However in the body, the food burnt is converted to forms of energy.So therefore when you consume food, the food is stored as body fat or glycogen (stored in liver and muscles) to be burnt for energy. Your body’s preference is to burn glycogen first than body fat when you expand energy such as exercising.The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you will burn. This is because muscle cells are metabolically active where fat cells are not because fat cells do no | | By: tips n trick diets success | | |

| | How to Determine the Number of Calories You Need | | 2008-06-22 05:04:01 | | To determine the number of calories you require each day from your food, it is necessary to make very exact mathematical calculations based on detailed knowledge of your metabolism, body frame, hereditary and constitutional factors, specific energy expenditure each day, climatic conditions, emotional state, digestive tract structure, physiology, and still other variable factors. Since this is an impossible or impractical method for those who want to lose weight, the average person should following a simple "rule of thumb" method:For: MARKED OVERWEIGHTSA person who is markedly overweight is one who is 30 per cent or more above his normal weight. This means that if, for example, you weigh 180 lbs. but should, according to our table, weigh 135 lbs., then you are 45 lbs, overweight. In that case you should reduce your weight by using a 800 calorie diet menu.For: MODERATE OVERWEIGHTSIf you are moderately overweight (i.e. 15-30 percent; you are, 20 to 45 lbs. over and weigh from 155 to | | By: tips n trick diets success | | |
| | How Many Calories Should You Eat to Lose Weight? | | 2008-06-19 18:10:36 | | You know you are going to have to reduce your calorie intake to lose weight, but how many calories are you going to have to eliminate. If you eliminate too many calories, your body is going to think it is being starved and it is not going to want to give up any of its weight. So the key is coming up with a number that will allow you to lose, but still allow the body to be nourished properly.The other thing that you have to factor into the picture is exercise. Exercising will deduct calories from you daily intake. Sometimes all it takes for people to lose the desired weight is to exercise. Exercising may be enough to create the necessary calorie deficit needed to accomplish your goal. For most people, it is going to take a combination of exercise and reduced calorie eating.An extreme calorie reduction (less than 800 to 1000) will cause your body to go into defense mode and hold onto everything that it has. 1200 to 1500 calories is a more reasonable figure to start out with and if you ha | | By: tips n trick diets success | | |
| | | NYC Calories Regulations Backfires for Cold Stone | | 2008-05-24 10:00:00 | | Earlier today (while working on the Jelly Belly post) I was browsing around Cold Stone Creamery's web site and looked for nutritional information. It wasn't particularly easy to find. After some clicking, the FAQ page had a link to the "Nutritional Information/Ingredient" page. Guess what, that's not it. That page is several paragraphs about how Cold Stone is concerned about nutrition and therefore provides light options. Buried in that page is an anonymous link labeled "click here" that seemed like a winner. It was pretty surprising that instead of seeing the nutrition info, I saw the following statement:In order for us to provide the nutritional information, please enter the zip code where you currently resideWeird, huh? I wasn't aware that nutrition values change by geographic area. But oh well, assuming it was either just a ruse to collect ZIP info or possibly that Cold Stone only offers certain products in certain areas, I entered my New York City ZIP and then got to the "n | | By: FoodMayhem | | |

| | Don’t drink those calories | | 2008-05-06 06:31:00 | | I think it appropriate that I share a story with you about my recent consumption before I launch into this entry: Today’s topic - SODA.
I still keep sodas in the house. I have kids and a husband. Several friends that drink them and umm helloo...you can not mix too many tasty drinks for the masses without the stuff. I just choose not to consume it. In any case, it has been a while since I have touched a Pepsi. October 2, 2007 at 11 am to be exact. I am not weird, it was just monumental for me. My actual addiction is listed in the entry that follows this.
So, the other day, my daughter cracked one open. When I came around the corner, she very sweetly tried to hide the can. This prompted a convo between us that went something like this:
Bug: Don’t look mommy.
Me: It’s ok punkin’ - I don’t freak out over that stuff any more.
Bug: You don’t? That is pretty good. You used to really like it.
Me: Yup. Not anymore. Wanna try an experiment | | By: Our Wicked Weighs | | |
| | Artificial Sugar - Less Calories, More Side Effects | | 2008-04-18 15:25:48 | | Google "Aspartame Side Effects"Artificial sweeteners are just as evil as sugar itself. There is an endless list of side effects that you can get from aspartame. Just google "Aspartame Side Effects" and you will know. The best thing to do is to avoid all artificial and chemical sweetener substitutes. Aspartame is the most common form of artificial 'low calorie' sugar. It is found in most diet products and diet sodas. It is also found as a tabletop sweetener for coffee or tea.Quick Weight Loss Tips | | By: Weight Loss | | |
| | Kimmer: Cut Calories and Take Laxatives | | 2008-04-16 20:12:41 | | Have you guys seen this conversation that was allegedly in private messages from Kimmer?If true which IMO I am 100% sure it is, this is a good example of the kind of crap that came out of Kimmers mouth in private messages on her forum. Here she is trying to help a lady lose weight faster, a lady averaging somewhere close to a mere 600 calories a day. She tried to go even lower but gets dizzy at 450 cals. Kimmer seems to think the only reason for her dizziness is her 8 or so carbs a day in that shes having too many carbs! :eek:Basically, shes telling this lady to lower her calories even more, take laxatives and even lower carbs more because they are causing her blood sugar issues and perhaps she has diabetes!An example of her advice to this lady:I can only give you my opinion. I don’t think your calories are as low as you think — but that’s only my opinion.However, let’s say they are. Let’s analyze why would feel faint? There’s no reason.

| | Just discovered: the brain's 'sixth sense' for calories | | 2008-03-27 09:38:14 | | The brain can sense the calories in food, independent of the taste mechanism, researchers have found in studies with mice. Their finding that the brain’s reward system is switched on by this “sixth sense” machinery could have implications for understanding the causes of obesity. For example, the findings suggest why high-fructose corn syrup, widely used as a sweetener in foods, might contribute to obesity.

| | What do calories look like? | | 2008-02-17 08:37:00 | | In case you didn't already know, food is used by our bodies to provide energy. Our bodies break down food into basic components and attempts to convert those components into sugars. Then we burn those sugars to keep us alive. The energy that is produced in the burning process is measured in calories (actually kilo-calories). We need about 2000 calories per day to maintain weight (there are calculators to help you figure out how many calories you need). However, Americans consume an average of 2,700 calories per day (check out this great article on calorie consumption from the USDOA). When your body takes in unneeded calories it has two choices: excrete those calories, which it prefers not to (waste not, want not); or convert the sugar to fat and attach it to your ass. I think we all know which way the body prefers.When you're eating, how do you keep track of calories, without going insane? The answer is to learn what calories look like!

| | EMPTY CALORIES | | 2007-09-01 06:03:00 | | Empty calories, in casual dietary terminology, are calories present in high-energy foods with poor nutritional profiles, typically from processed carbohydrates or fats. An "empty calorie" has the same energy content of any other calorie but lacks accompanying micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals, or amino acids as well as fiber as found in whole grains but less so in white flour. Michael Jacobson, head of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, coined the term in 1972.Generally, unnecessary calories are converted in the body to fat. However, if calorie intake is limited for the sake of reducing weight, insufficient vitamin and mineral intake may lead to malnutrition. Dieticians recommend in every case that nutrient-dense food such as fruit and vegetables be substituted for empty-calorie food.Foods often considered to contain mostly empty calories include:i.)Sweets, Soft drinks, beverages with a low juice component, and other foods containing sugar.ii.)Margarine or shorteningiii.)Butter, lard, and other highly-saturated fats.iv.)Alcohol | | By: WEIGHT LOSS TIPS | | |
| | Calories, anyone? | | 2007-08-24 01:14:59 | | A few days ago, I did share with you how I’ve lost more weight than I had intended to. Not that I’m complaining but it did get me worried. Now that I have a daughter, my life is not mine alone. So is my health. While it’s important to stick to my ideal weight, I know that what’s more important is that I eat healthy. So I had to double-check my diet plan. Obviously, my diet plan works for me. However, I should scrutinize it in order to check if it really is a healthy diet. Healthy diet would mean that I am taking the right food and have considered the calories in food. That left me wondering. How can I keep track of that? Then I found out about myfitnesspal.com. Thank goodness it has its calorie counter that’s very easy and fast to use. Let alone it’s free of charge! =D And I must not fail to mention its very helpful calorie chart.
