Importance of eating habits 3

In the previous 2 posts I wrote about the importance of the breakfast and of the snacks. Our way of feeding is very important for our health. We should have 5 meals during a day. Quantity of the meal is very important, because, if we intake a lot of food, that food in our body is using a lot of energy to be processed, so we are feeling with a little energy, and we are feeling heaviness in our stomach. Lack of energy combined with stomach problems, reduce our our ability for fulfilling our working obligations, so it make us lazy, and sleepy. The problem is not only ours, but also our coworkers and bosses is seeing us like incapable for our responsibilities. Overeating is becoming a big social problem and the root for disagreements between the colleagues.
Today I am going to write about the:
Importance of lunch

       In this stressful times, where everybody is speeding everywhere, and do not have time for normal meal, usually they eat something quick and prepared like fast food, pizzas, meals with lot of grease and calories, but with low nutrients. 

Our bodies, because the lack of nutrients, is wanting more food to satisfy the hunger of the cells for the right nutrients. That is the initial spark that is starting the fire of overweight. When the fire of overeating is big, then we realize that something is wrong with us, because all the clothes that we where wearing is becoming too small for us. We are realizing  that something is very wrong with us, but we can not determine what. Than we are starting skipping the meals, and we make the situation more worse. The lack of nutrients is becoming the thing that is destroying our body. Because we are skipping the meals, our body is taking so needing nutrients from our muscles, and it is deposing as fat, because every skipped meal, our body is determining as starvation. So that is why after every reduction diet, our body composition is changing to worse, or in simple words, the muscle tissue our body is transferring into a fat tissue. That is why after all reduction diets, our weight is coming on the last weight, and it is gaining more weight, also called yo-yo effect. 
So to stop the circle of gaining the weight, we must balance the meals and we must take all the nutrients with the meals, so our body can redistribute the right nutrients to the parts of the body that is needed. 
Every cell in our body is replaced by the new one, dependently on the tissue, from 3 month till 11 month, except the bone and cartilages, that are replaced in 7 years. So we are getting new body every 11 months, so can some changes be undone? For sure, every change that we made with a bad nutrition can be undone with right nutrition for the 12 months. So if we start to eat the right way, we can not expect that the changes will be made over night. Every process in the body is taking much time, like for the worst or for the better. Every condition of the body is reparable, only we need the right decision, and the right way of feeding. 
Every meal in the day is important. The lunch is the meal that we intake the biggest amount of food in our body, and it is important, because, the energy from the lunch, and from the dinner is depositing for night redistribution of the energy, and the energy need for the daily needs.
        The needs for the nutrients, are satisfied with small amounts of the right food. 
The lunch must be 3 hours after the brunch(first snack). The stomach is empty, and it is prepared for the food intake. Then, our body with the least energy is processing the food, and it is distributed through the body with the optimum energy needed for it. Then the energy levels in the body is high, and we do not feel the sleepiness, or fatigue, and we can continue with the normal obligations. 
The work time of the modern man is changed, and it is usually, from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m., and the meals are usually skipped. But with the right plan, and the right planning, we don't take the meals as obligation, but we consume it in the right time, and with the right quantities. 
The last post from this series is going to be about the flexibility of the meals, and how can you adjust it to your needs. 
Next post is going to be for the dinner and its importance.
Everything is in our rich, only we need to rich it for.

Importance of eating habits 2

Like I've said in the previous post, most important thing that we must do if we want to make our life healthier, is making our biorhythm precise and predictable. When we take the meals every day in the same time, then, our body is processing  the food with less loses.
Last post we explained why the breakfast is one of the most important meals. But if we have breakfast, and do not eat right during the day, every good think that the breakfast will do to us, we can destroy it with bad choice for the next meals.

Importance of the snacks

The brunch is next meal that must be taken 3 hours after the breakfast.
Why the brunch must be 3 hours after the breakfast? Because, our body is made in that way, that the food is passing from the stomach to the intestines in 3 hours, so if we take the right food for breakfast, our stomach is ready for the next meal.
So what we have to take for the brunch or the first snack.
IMPORTANT: Snacks are not meant to be regular meal, but to satisfy our hanger till the lunch.
Lot of people after the breakfast, and depending from the time that the persons has, took something quick, like chocolate, or chips, or even some sandwich. This food is also rich in carbs and salt, so that kind of food is with high insulin coefficient, so it triggers the insulin reaction.  Like we have said in the previous post everything that have over 200 calories is count like meal, and if the calories count is below 200 calories is snack or brunch.  Because the energy must be balanced during the day, for our body to be in the right condition, every energetic food that is rich in simple carbs, is destroying the balance. When the energy balance is impaired, than we are feeling fatigue and sleepiness, we are losing concentration and we are feeling nervous.
For the morning snack or brunch best food is fruit. Few fruits is going to keep the appetite under control, not too much, because, the fruits contain sugar. So the conclusion is that for the snack we take food only to kill our appetite, and to maintain the energy levels on the desirable level.
People that have weight problems, may include also and protein in their snacks, because, the protein will quicken the loss of fat.
I am using yoghurt or protein bars from Herbalife in combination with one fruit. Skimmed yoghurt 250 ml and the protein bar are containing 10 grams of protein and their energetic value is around 130 calories, for the bar, and 160 calories for the yoghurt.

3 hours after the brunch or the first snack, you can take a lunch, or if your lunch is later, you can replace it with second snack.
Second snack is having the same purpose like the first, to kill the appetite till the next meal ( lunch or dinner ).
Second snack should be some vegetables or salad. The fruits should not be used because it can cause bloating. This snack should be below 200 calories.
Also like the first snack, if you want to lose more fat, you can take some food that is containing proteins.
I'm using the Gourmet tomato soup from Herbalife with salad, and this completely satisfying my appetite.
Im changing my life for the better, and together we can change yours life, because, if you want to change the world we should first change us.



For the next post I am going to write for the importance of lunch and what kind of lunch we should have.
Even the trip from 1000 miles is starting with the first step, so what are you waiting for.

Importance of eating habits1

Everybody is talking about healthy living and lot of people think that they are living healthy. They eat lot of vegetables and fruits, do not eat red meat, eat lot of food that is rich in essential amino acids, do not consume saturated and trans fats, but their health is not improving, just opposite it is getting worse.
Why is that? That is because they do not have steady eating habits, and because they are jumping meals. First and most significant part of human feeding is that we have to have 5 - 6 meals a day. Our body is designed like a machine, and it has its own biological clock. We make habits, and that habits we are repeating every day. When we want to make a habit, we repeat it on long enough that is becoming thing that we are doing it without thinking, every day in the same time. That is the same also with feeding habits. We must settle habits for our sake, and we have to do them without thinking. What is important for everyone of us is that we must eat every day in the same time, if it is possible, or to make such a biorhythm that we are doing the things the same way no matter when we had up in the morning. It is the schedule that is going like this:
     -  Breakfast: 1 hour after waking up.
     -  Brunch: 3 hours after breakfast
     -  Lunch :  3 hours after the brunch
     -  Snack : 3 hours after the lunch
     -  Dinner : 3 hours after the snack

Every meal we are going to explain in the next post. Today the most importance we are going to give to the breakfast.
  
  
Let me tell you what kind of people are surrounding us.
There is a 2 kind of people. First one are those, that are enjoying in the food, and consume a lot of food with lots of calories, but poor in nutrients. They have a rich breakfast with lot of proteins, carbs and fat, especially saturated fats.
For snacks they also have rich meals with a lot of fats and carbs, and with soft drinks, like chips, pies, chocolate, cakes, cola etc.
Lunches and dinners are also rich in proteins with lot of fats.
Main characteristics of this food is that is with lots of calories but little nutrients, and that is why they are filling hungry. Their body wants vitamins, minerals, fiber, for that, they are eating more, and they are making their condition worse, because they can enter in their bodies up to 5000 calories a day. We all know that to gain 1 kilo of fat we have to take 7500 calories, and the need of our body is:  for women 1000-1200 calories, and for man 1500-2000 calories a day.
They are usually fat and with almost no recreation at all, and they develop lots of diseases that are connected with bad nutrition.
Other kind of people are opposite form the first one.

They are usually skipping meals, they don't have any breakfast, first meal is some kind of fruit 4-5 hours after getting up, after that they eat some salad, and they have dinner usually rich in carbs like pasta. They daily intake of calories is from 500-700 calories, with small amounts that is not enough for daily needs of the body of proteins,carbs and fats. They look slim, but their body composition is very bad. Because they do not take enough food their body is starving, and that is why, their bodies every food that they take, is transferring in to fat. They are loosing their muscles and their metabolism is slowing, that's why they do not have energy for they daily obligations.
These people has one mutual feature, they are destroying their bodies, and their bodies are warned out before their time.
So how we have to eat to make our body healthier???

                                                 Importance of healthy breakfast                                                           

Why the breakfast is so important for us?
Because the breakfast is fueling up our body for the next day, and it is main source of energy for our body. During the night, our body is rebuilding the energy that has been used the day before. Also is building the muscles for more efficient functioning, and it feel up the sarcoplasm with glycogen, the sugar, that muscles are using for their functioning.
 So in the morning our body is all fueled out. If we do not enter the energy that it needs, the body will begin to use up the muscles.
Do you know that if your breakfast is missing, the body is beginning to store fats, because absence of breakfast our body is look on like starving, so it has to storage energy for morning needs. That is why our body every next meal is storing it like a fat.
Breakfast is important for normal functioning of our body, and fat building is determined by the breakfast and its quality.
 
 This chart is showing how the breakfast is stabilizing, or destabilizing our body energy.
Have you noticed that when you have rich breakfast, 1 hour after you have taken the breakfast, your energy is dropped down, and you must take a coffee or other stimulant that will "wake you up". That is because the heavy breakfast is making big insulin reaction. The sugar level is getting very high, and the insulin is used to quickly drop the sugar levels down. That is very demanding process and it is use energy. That is why we are experiencing big energy drop.  
But this is rising the question, what we should eat for breakfast?
First we have to get know what is meal, and what is a snack?
Meal is from 200 calories and up, and everything that is below 200 calories is known as a snack.

Best breakfast that I use, and never going to quit is Formula 1 Shake from Herbalife. It is most optimized breakfast with 117 nutrients that is feeding up my body with all the important nutrients that I need, and it have only 220 calories. It gives me the energy that I need, and don't make insulins reaction, because is rich in complex carbs, without presence of simple carbs, that is triggering the insulin reaction. It has 17,5 grams of proteins and only 1,5 grams of fat. It has 95-98% consumption rate and it is the only food, together with the mothers milk, with that consumption rate.

     This is the most perfect and balanced breakfast that you are going need, ever. I'm using it and my life has changed since then, because, I don't lose energy, I feel great, it is light meal and its processing is quick, and my body is energized for the rest of the day.
I have witnessed how lot of people have changed their lives, with only changing their breakfast habits.
I want to help people, and I'm helping them by improving their nutrition and their lifestyle.
If you want to change something, first you have to start changing is you.
