Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 You need to take " HOODIA " . This is a Cactus grown in South African country side. This was used even 100s of years ago by those people. When a piece is eaten, one does not feel hunger or thirst for at least 24 hours. When those villagers go far away, for hunting or in search of yams, they used to take with them only few pieces of Hoodia Cactus. A special alkaloid in this plant gives the signal to brain as that person's stomach is full. This makes the person feel no hunger or thirst even when the stomach is empty. Few years ago, some Western Companys found the secret. Now this is commercially grown in South Africa and else where. This is available in capsule form or as juice with many compabys, who are dealing in food supliments. These are not cheap as there is a good demand for weight reduction. With Hoodia, you can easily control your food intake. Try to grow a Hoodia Cactus plant at home. If you know some body in South Africa.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Be very careful with Hoodia. This supplement is not yet regulated. Therefore there is not a recommended dosage. With that issue can be consequences such as overdose and side effects, such as was the problem before Ephedra(MaHaung)and Valerian Root was regulated. Too many people died because they didn't know the correct dosage and more does not necessarily mean better. Because these supplements are not regulated, the side effects or contradictions are not usually printed on lables. They don't have to do that!....yet Do your research first before you take a new supplement.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Jenny, You are so right about how products are not always regulated. I have come across a company that uses all organic ingredients, no synthetic fillers or binders. is made in the US, AND they voluntarily have quarterly inspections by the FDA. Not too many people know, that any type of supplement does not have to have inspections or FDA approval. They have a weight loss product that controls hunger pangs, increases metabolism, reduces cravings, helps to burn stored fat, increases energy and controls appetite. Drop me an email if you would like more details. Jenny Kernan <rainysnana wrote: Be very careful with Hoodia. This supplement is not yet regulated. Therefore there is not a recommended dosage.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 ---hi probably best to have a calorie controlled diet i am currently on 1500 cals a day roughly speaking average man burns aboiut 2300 per day approx leaving a shortfall of about 800 times 7 equals baout 5600 cal per week 2000 cals equsls one pouind approx equaling about 2.5 pounds per week but do ensure a 30 gram protein start breakfast --60-80 grams a day and all proper veg minerals omega 369 etc study nutrition Protein YOUR body is largely made of protein: your skin, muscles, internal organs, nails, hair, brain, and even the base of your bones. Like the muscles, hair which lacks elasticity and resiliency and perhaps breaks or refuses to take a permanent will often change to healthy hair after a few weeks of improved nutrition. Nails which break, peel, or crack can likewise change when the diet is improved. Another cause of fatigue, particularly common among women and children, is anemia, or lack of red corpuscles, which are made almost wholly of protein. Without adequate protein anemia quickly results and persists until the nutrition is made normal. Anemia, however, can result from any number of nutritional inadequacies. If protein is abundantly supplied and the diet is otherwise adequate, we can expect high resistance to diseases and infections. Experimental work has shown that when a low-protein diet is replaced by one high in adequate proteins, the antibody production is increased a hundredfold within a single week. When all parts of the body are maintained by the absorption and utilization of adequate food, health and youthfulness are likewise maintained. Conversely, you grow old on the days your diet is inadequate. Since your body structure is largely protein, an undersupply can bring about aging with depressing speed Proteins from brewers' yeast, certain nuts, soybeans, cottonseed, and the germ of cereals are complete proteins. The proteins of peas, lentils, navy and lima beans, cereals and flour with the germ removed lack some of the essential amino acids; they are therefore incomplete and cannot support life alone The greatest hindrance to good health in this respect is ignorance. Many surveys of thousands of persons having enough money to eat as they choose have shown that about 60 per cent get far less protein than is adequate Proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids. There are about 20 different amino acids, eight of which must be present in the diet. These are the essential amino acids. Unlike animal proteins, plant proteins may not contain all the essential amino acids in the necessary proportions. However, a varied vegetarian diet means a mixture of proteins are consumed, the amino acids in one protein compensating for the deficiencies of another. The eight essential amino acids required by humans are: leucine, isoleucine, valine, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and lysine. For children, histidine is also considered to be an essential amino acid. Good sources of protein for vegetarians include nuts and seeds, pulses, soya products (tofu, soya milk and textured soya protein such as soya mince), cereals (wheat, oats, and rice), free-range eggs and some dairy products (milk, cheese and yoghurt Many plant proteins are low in one of the essential amino acids. For instance, grains tend to be short of lysine whilst pulses are short of methionine. This does not mean that vegetarians or vegans go short on essential amino acids. Combining plant proteins, such as a grain with a pulse, leads to a high quality protein which is just as good, and in some cases better, than protein from animal foods. Soya is a high quality protein on its own which can be regarded as equal to meat protein. Increased protein needs during pregnancy and breast feeding are usually met simply by the extra calories from more food. Because infants and children are growing they require more protein than adults (proportional to their body weight). Muscles are built from protein. Unlike fat cells for fat and muscle or liver for glucose, there is no place in the body to store protein. We need to consume enough protein to allow our muscles to be healthy and perform work When people start consuming too much protein (over 2.0 g/kg/day), the extra protein can become a stressful stimulus for the kidney. This is even more of a concern as we get older and our organs are less efficient and effective. However many people do not even get anywhere like this amount in my experience. According to Adele Davis book your breakfast can be a very big influence on how you feel throughout your day. Studies show that children who have a good breakfast do better in school. When all this is known it beggars belief that some parents who allow their children to skip breakfast, that is bordering on neglect and in the future that point may be a factor in the consideration of whether parents are indeed fit parents. I would not be surprised to see in the future legal action taken against parents on this point. It doesn't take much further thought to know that adults will feel better and perform better at work as well. Whether you work at home, on the farm, at the office, at school, or on the road, it is not a good idea to skip breakfast. If you were in the army skipping breakfast would mean you would be on a charge as this was considered to be a serious offence. If we skip breakfast, we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel. By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee, or wolf down a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunch time we are hungry, crabby, and perhaps our mood might make us a little more prone to making unhealthy choices at lunch. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. Blood sugar seems to be the key here , and low blood sugar can cause it seems ,craving for sweets ,growling of the intestines, leading to exhaustion headaches, weakness, wobbliness, palpitations of the heart may be noticeable, the legs may suddenly give way, nausea may also be present. The cells of the nerves of the brain can produce their energy it seems only from sugar even, when sugar is decreased only slightly thinking becomes slowed and confused and nerves become tense. The person whose blood sugar falls below normal becomes more irritable grouchy moody depressed and uncooperative blackouts and fainting may also occur. According to Adele Davis book, Many studies have been done on breakfast and blood sugar People who eat breakfast are significantly less likely to be obese and diabetic than those who usually don't, researchers reported today at the American Heart Association's 43rd Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention. Our results suggest that breakfast may really be the most important meal of the day, " says Mark A. Pereira, Ph.D., a research associate at Children's Hospital in Boston and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School. " It appears that breakfast may play an important role in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. " The reason is that one's blood sugar stays up at optimum levels throughout the day only when enough protein is eaten at breakfast. What is " enough " ? In Adelle's judgment, an average-size person should have about 60 grams of protein a day, and about 1/3rd of that at breakfast. That's at least 20 grams. That's rather difficult to do! An 8-ounce cup of milk is 8 grams. An egg is 6 grams. Two eggs and 8 oz of milk is thus 20 grams. A half cup of nonfat cottage cheese is 19 grams. Egg whites are 3 grams each, so you figure! Studies similar to these have been conducted in many universities. The results have been consistently the same: well-being and the level of efficiency experienced during the hours after meals depend upon the amount of protein eaten. The meals which produced a real zest for living also contained some fat and a certain amount of carbohydrate. " (p. 23, paperback version). She warns of the dangers of too much fat and carbohydrate, but consistently recommends that small amounts of both be eaten together at meals. The meal furnishing 55 grams of protein sustained a high level of energy and a high metabolism for six hours afterward. IN other studies efficiency for three hours was obtained only when a meal was eaten containing 22gramms or more of protein. Children do not learn well unless nutrition is obtained and much money is wasted. Irritability caused from low blood sugar is a factor in divorces. Car accidents can obviously also occur from low blood sugar as thinking is slower. Low blood sugar driving may be as serious as drunken driving. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council recommends the following amounts of protein, in grams, daily: Children Adults Under 12 Years Over 12 Years Men -- 70 1-3 -- 40 Girls 13-15 -- 80 Women -- 60 4-6 -- 50 Girls 16-20 -- 75 Pregnancy -- 85 7-9 -- 60 Boys 13-15 -- 85 Lactation -- 100 10-12 -- 70 Boys 16-20 -- 100 These figures, , are generally considered to be too low. If you wish to maintain your attractiveness, vigor, and youthfulness as long as is humanly possible, it is probably wise to eat considerably more protein than the Board recommends and/or to count only the grams of adequate protein you eat. Whenever the diet has been deficient in protein for some time, an intake of 150 grams or more daily is probably advisable for a month or more. Such large amounts are also needed in the treatment of various disease conditions. Sources of proteins, Amounts, Completeness (com=complete, inc=incomplete), Grams of Proteins soybean flour, low fat 1 cup com. 60 cottonseed flour 1 cup com. 60 white flour 1 cup inc. 8 to 12 wheat germ 1/2 cup com 24 brewers' yeast, powdered 1/2 cup com 50 powdered skim milk 1 cup inc 60 to 70 egg 1 com 6 milk, whole or skim, buttermilk 1 qt. com 32 to 35 milk, whole or skim ½ litre com 15 cottage cheese 1/2 cup com 20 American or Swiss cheese 2 slices com 10 to 12 soybeans, cooked 1/2 cup com 20 peanut butter 2 tbsp inc 9 cooked cereals 3/4 cup inc 10 to 18 prepared cereals 1 cup inc 1 to 3 navy or lima beans 1 cup inc 6 to 8 macaroni, noodles, rice 3/4 cup inc 3 to 4 Meat, fish, fowl boned or with little bone or fat** 1/4 pound 1 serving com 18 to 22 meat, fish, fowl with moderate bone and/or fat *** 1/4 pound 15 to 18 meat, fish, fowl with much bone and/or fat **** 1/4 pound 10 to 15 yoghurt I pot 6-8 grams vegi burgers soya based 1 8 vegi sausage soya based 1 6-8 some bread always brown 1 slice 5- 6 Thousands of persons think they get adequate protein from one egg at breakfast and meat for dinner; their actual intake may be 26 grams or less, although their requirement is perhaps many times that amount. Since a quart of milk supplies 32 to 35 grams of protein, one usually finds that the person who drinks a quart daily has a fairly adequate protein intake, whereas the person who avoids milk is almost invariably deficient. Here is a fairly good starter breakfast wise 2 vegi burgers 1 yogurt 2 slices of brown wholemeal bread gets you around 32 gramms So look on the labels for the protein content, every parent should study nutrition, as good parents will want the best for their children as parents you are forming habits in your children then of course form good habits.
