Nutrition Labels & Weight Loss!



The nutrition label located on each and every food item,
will tell you all the information about that food. For
some however, this information isn't exactly that reader
friendly. Fear not, as it's actually easier than you
think.

Serving Size
This size is based on the amount people eat. Similar
food items will have similar serving sizes, thus making
it easier to compare 2 foods of the same category.

% Daily Value
This indicates how food will fit in a 2,000 calorie
diet. This will help you to understand if the food
has a lot, or just a little of the important nutrients.

The middle section
The nutrients you'll find listed in the middle section
are the ones that are most important to your health.
This information can help you to calculate your daily
limit of fat, fiber, sodium, and other nutrients.

Vitamins & minerals
The percent daily value found here is the exact same
as the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance for vitamins
and minerals.

Now that you know what the nutrition label actually
means, it'll be a lot easy to eat healthy. Eating
healthy is a great thing - especially when you use the
nutrition label to assist you with your food choices.

Make it a great day!

Belly Dancing for flatter abs!

You can be a belly dancer for an entire lifetime, but if your digestion is not optimal your abdomen will still not look its best. There will still be a pooch hanging around. By the way, belly dancing is an excellent option to implement into your exercise routine. You can try belly dancing by learning through a video or local class. But,
the important point is that healthy digestion is the key to having a better looking abdomen.

Fiber, Essential Fatty Acids, and Water for Achieving Flat Abs
Improving your digestion consists of following a healthy diet. It is a must to consume enough fiber to get your digestion moving. You can get fiber by eating your favorite fruits, vegetables, or grains. It is better that you eat the fruits, vegetables, and grains you know you love instead of being told exactly what you must eat. The goal is to improve your digestion by consuming more fiber. Just start adding fiber-rich foods with each meal. Consuming 25-30 grams daily is ideal. If you don’t consume the ideal amount, then start slowly to avoid bloating. For example, have oatmeal and strawberries for breakfast, add some broccoli or a leafy green salad to lunch, and a slice of whole grain bread to your dinner.

Fiber improves blood-sugar regulation, binds and eliminates toxins, and decreases appetite because it makes you feel full without increasing body fat or weight. This leads to flatter abs.



Make it a great day!

7 ways not to screw up your training!

1. Have a definite plan don't wish, don't hope and don't guess you'll never get results that way.

2. Tell someone tell everybody make sure you have someone to keep you accountable don't keep your goals to yourself just in case you slack off or quit you'll have someone to egg you on.

3.Have a back up plan. If you exercise at the gym or you travel frequently have an alternate workout something you can do at home that replaces your regular workout. Make sure you focus on the same muscle groups you were planning to originally.

4. Bring a water bottle with you everywhere you go and drink it! Water will keep you hydrated and help to immobilize the fat. (burn more fat)

5. Have a sound exercise approach anything that does not include moderate aerobics, good nutrition and resistance training will not work.

6. Read labels chances are if the first five ingredients are something you can't pronounce it's not good for you and will sabotage your goals. Keep an eye out for words ending in "ose", corn syrup and hydrogenated (usually indicates trans fat).

7.Play your favourite music when you work out your mind will link the great feeling it gets to your favourite song and when your in a lazy slump play that song you won't be able to resist working out. Try it!
