Breaking The Pattern Of Overeating And Belly StuffingHave you ever found yourself stuck in a repetitive cycle of overeating and belly stuffing? Grabbing for the food items whenever and wherever you can? Sneaking off to fast food chains as many times a day as you can? Hiding food wrappers and eating behind closed doors?

Sugar Detox Plan for Weight LossMy friend Jedha is back with a great guest post on starting a sugar detox plan. This is definitely something I need to do this year. I must cut down on sugar!
Try A Sugar Detox To Amp Up Your Weight Loss Results
Did you know that there are many hidden sugars in many commonly consumed foods? And it’s these sugars that may be directly impacting your weight management?
You see when we eat excess sugar it basically gets converted into fat in the body if it is unused. And because we don’t really need any excess sugar in our diet, this happens very easily.
So if you have been struggling to lose weight or if you want to simply amp up your results, then try a sugar detox plan for 21 days and just see how fast the results will come.
Please help me welcome Jane, our guest blogger for today!
Why dieting may not be working for you
According to the Scientific American (2007) and the American Psychologist where they reported across a couple of research studies, the first being a meta-analysis (a study of 31 long-term studies) where research covered every other study of people on diets for a 2-5 yr period and the second a study of 19,000 people, conclusions showed that diets don’t work.
What choice is there when it comes to weight loss?
If we put ‘dieting’ to one side, we have to eat right? Unlike most other ‘unhelpful’ behaviours when you view food cravings through the lens of ‘addiction’, its not something we can give up or stop doing because eating is something we need to survive. Of course there are exceptions to every rule but that is one for another day!
Calcium and Weight Loss
As we age, our bones lose mass due to a loss in calcium. It takes exercise, proper diet and also healthy habits to cultivate calcium-rich bone. Calcium is needed for different reactions in the body, especially in the conduction of electrical impulses across muscle and nerve fibers. The body takes the calcium it needs from the bones. On a daily basis, this calcium needs to be replenished to make up for what the body needs. When the supply is not adequate to meet the demand, the bones get weak and brittle.

Welcome to Healthy Weight Week 2011! This week was all about promoting and celebrating healthy diet free lifestyle tips. I’m coming in on the tail end of it this year but still wanted to talk about it.
The tip for this week is to make sure you get enough protein in your diet.
Protein & Weight Loss: What’s the Connection
I know that I personally need to focus on my protein intake. I am not getting enough and need to really learn more about how as a vegetarian/pescatarian to do so.
Are you getting enough protein in your diet?
