Do you wonder why you can't lose weight? Do you get "the shakes" or afternoon low mid afternoon? It's time for a healthy eating schedule.<br />
<br />
Eating something sweet relieves symptoms for about a half hour and then it's down in the dumps again! If this sounds like you-you may be a sugar addict. Frazzled food brings frazzled mood. These blood sugar ups and downs play havoc with your moods, your concentration and your general health. Hypoglycemia, diabetes, increased risk of cardiovascular disease and reduced immunity can be some of the outcomes. Take the quiz, then read on to discover tips to a healthier, more balanced, mind and body.<br />
<br />
Are You A Sugar Addict? - Take the quiz and find out! Count one point for every Yes scored.<br />
<br />
1. Each day you vow not to eat any more sugar, but you can't keep the promise.<br />
<br />
2. You have a private stash of candy, chocolate or cookies.<br />
<br />
3. At parties, you gravitate toward cakes or ice cream.<br />
<br />
4. When you were a child, you were given treats for being good.<br />
<br />
5. As a child, sugar was a major part of your day, through candy, chocolate milk and desserts.<br />
<br />
6. Your breakfast is often a muffin or donut and coffee.<br />
<br />
7. You add sugar to your coffee or tea.<br />
<br />
8. Your breakfast is often a bowl of cereal and milk. If you read the label on the cereal box, the first or second ingredient is sugar.<br />
<br />
9. Soda pop is consumed each day.<br />
<br />
10. You feel euphoric after eating candy, but your mood plunges soon after.<br />
<br />
11. (Bonus question!) You can live without sex, but can't live without chocolate!<br />
<br />
Scoring:<br />
<br />
· 1 -3 Yeses- You're starting to use sugar as a habit. Cut down before it's a habit you can't break. Make sure you're eating healthy nutrients.<br />
<br />
· 4 - 7 You need sugar to get through a day. Find ways to substitute it for foods that contain healthy nutrients.<br />
<br />
· 8- 11 You are A Sugar Addict and are heading for sick days. Reduce the amount of sugar in your diet. Eating healthy statistics are available from your local health department.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
So What's Wrong With Sugar? North Americans are consuming 20 - 30 teaspoons of sugar daily or about 150 pounds of sugar per person, per year. Compare that with 6 pounds of sugar per person, per year a century ago. We start in childhood with cake, soda pop and candy and quite innocently, attachments or addictions to these types of foods become common.<br />
<br />
Refined sugar is not a cholesterol reducing food. It is a chemical and is hidden in foods such as soda pop and other fast foods. Also, too many grains--bread, cereal, crackers, energy bars, croissants are converted to sugar in the body. High glucose and insulin levels are emerging as one of the key factors responsible for heart disease and hypertension.<br />
<br />
Excess sugar depletes the body of B vitamins and amino acids (necessary for the body's physical and mental metabolism). Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately and can increase the risk of diabetes. Over time, eating much less sugar will increase your body's strength and health, making it harder for illnesses to attack your system.<br />
<br />
Holistic Nutrition Tips To the Rescue<br />
<br />
* Keep foods high in sugar out of your shopping cart. Read labels to make sure the first or second ingredient isn't sugar. Look for natural brands.<br />
<br />
* Increase exercise. It will decrease your appetite and burn calories.<br />
<br />
* Eat a small amount of protein (animal or vegetarian sources) at meals to help break the craving for sugar.<br />
<br />
* Eat complex carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables and whole grains) instead of simple sugars such as those<br />
<br />
found in a candy bar. Add some fat to the meal; olive oil, nuts or avocado to further help blood sugar regulation.<br />
<br />
* Use dietary supplements that curb sugar cravings: L-glutamine, GTF chromium, zinc, multiple vitamin/mineral. Vitamin C and B Complex can also help.<br />
<br />
Why is healthy eating important? Your well-being depends on it. Learn about nutrition health benefits, then follow through without being too hard on yourself if you slip - once and a while.<br />

W hen you hear the word 'diet' what do you immediately think of? Let me guess, no food just soup for the rest of the week or how about no food at all. The word 'diet' is often misconstrued by most. It simply means eating right not just at that moment but as a part of your daily life, a lifestyle choice.<br />
<br />
When it comes to dieting, the numerous different kinds you will find on the market that will boggle your mind. The ones that help you lose weight as well are plenty too, from supplements to shakes to patches. All claim to perform dramatic results, fast and effectively. Sounds like an infomercial does it not? I assure you, there is no such thing as an easy way to lose weight because the quicker you lose the weight, the faster you will gain (not only will you get what you lost back, you gain extra pounds as well). Sad but true.<br />
<br />
All I can offer are a few tips to help you lose the pounds by putting them into practice everyday and making it a part of your lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Drink plenty of water<br />
<br />
Water really is an incredible element and the benefits are substantial especially in weight loss. It hydrates the body and when your tummy rumbles from hunger first drink water, it makes you feel full while also helping by reducing the need to eat too much. The other drinks are not quite so effective and often contain empty calories which do more harm than good when treated as a replacement for the remarkable element called water. Water is good for circulation, metabolism and detoxing. That is why your skin will thank you by becoming clear, smooth and will glow with health. Did you know? The body can survive longer without food than without water. Also you need almost eight to nine glasses of water a day to prevent dehydration.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Set yourself some goals<br />
<br />
When you are trying to lose weight it is important to set realistic goals. They must push you and provide you with steely determination to keep at it though must not be too tough to achieve that you resort to desperate measures. Why is this important? Simply put, if your goals are unrealistic you will be more likely to quit. The reverse is true as well the tougher the challenge the greater the rewards which is why we are also more inclined to feel inspired. That is why your goals have to be realistic. A little competition is also a common human trait. Get someone to lose weight with and compete to lose more weight than them. You will be amazed how badly you will want to win, you will probably forget about how difficult your journey to weight loss is and just want to beat them. It is human nature.<br />
<br />
Eat more<br />
<br />
No you are not misreading. Eat more foods high in fiber such as vegetables and fruits. They are good for you and help you with your unhealthy cravings or tendency to binge by providing you with that full feeling.<br />
<br />
Get moving<br />
<br />
Think about it, the more you move the more calories you burn. It is a fact that in order to lose the weight you have to lose more calories than you consume. So if you want to reach your goals you need to exercise or do more activities especially activities that you enjoy.<br />
<br />
Dieting does not have to be tedious, maintain the use of these tips and keep your eye on the price. When you reach your goals and continue to eat right, you stand up straighter and are less inclined to blend into your environment. Your confidence is acknowledged, heads turn and for once you can look people in the eye. The mirror is no longer your enemy and shopping is fun. Remember: if at first you don't succeed try, try again.<br />

While people are becoming more and more aware of just how important a proper diet is to live a healthy life, a lot more are discouraged with the seemingly arduous process of getting there. A good plan requires commitment and determination, things that are easier said than done.<br />
<br />
A lack of wholesome foods with essential nutrients in the diet can render a body weak and defenseless against so many diseases. Obesity is a major problem plaguing today's society, and the results are quite serious. This is the reason having a proper diet plan is absolutely necessary in keeping healthy.<br />
<br />
Ideally, we desire to have numerous resources. There is a huge number of diet plans available for any person to choose from, depending on the particular state his or her body is in. Each one also has a sufficient amount of nutritional content so that the body is able to benefit from the essential ingredients it needs to stay healthy, in quantities appropriate for any specific lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Eating lots of food does not necessarily mean that the nutrients received by the body are enough to sustain all of its needs. Knowing what our specific body requirements are will help greatly in formulating the perfect diet plan. Different diet plans target different objectives. There are those that are created specifically for weight loss, certain medical conditions, nutritional needs, exercise routines, and others. The important thing to remember is that you must pick the most suitable plan that fits well with your particular lifestyle and stick with it.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Finding the right diet is not too difficult to do. If you are the type of person who enjoys meeting up with people and finding out how certain programs can work for you, you could start doing some research on where to meet up with the right people who can help. Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers are just two of the more popular diets that hold these meetings and provide you with professional counselors to give you sound advice to a proper diet plan.<br />
<br />
The internet is also a very good place to start searching for different diet programs to suit your specific requirements. Different sites even offer diet plans for free to get you started. You can make use of your time online to work on getting healthy and start eating right. Aside from these sources, you can do a lot of your researching through books and magazines that provide information on the most popular diet plans and how to go about making use of them.<br />
<br />
There is nothing that can be more important than a healthy body. This must always be at the top of anyone's priority list. When the health fails, everything else is useless. Life can come at a standstill and no amount of money and good fortune can make things better.<br />
<br />
Find the right plan by knowing your own body and needs. Then create a good diet plan for yourself, you take the first step to staying healthy and fit for life, something you must never take for granted. So when your determination starts to weaken, let the thought of good health be your motivation, and stick by your plan no matter what the odds.<br />
