It has often been recommended in popular weight-loss programs that overweight and obese individuals hoping to shed unwanted pounds should drink more water.
As is often the case, the evidence base behind this recommendation was rather scant.
Fortunately, a study published in the journal Obesity suggests the recommendation may be quite sound.

In the study, researchers randomly split overweight or obese older men and women into two groups.
The first was put on a hypocaloric diet – meaning they were eating fewer calories than the energy they were expending.
The other was also put on a hypocaloric diet but were told to increase how much water they drank.
Both followed these eating plans for over 12 weeks.
The hypocaloric diet consisted of 1,200 calories for the women and 1,500 calories for the men.
Those in the group who were on a diet and were increasing their water consumption had to drink 500 ml of water (two cups) 30 minutes prior to each of their three large daily meals.
And what did they find?
Both groups lost a significant amount of weight – 11lb to 1st 1lb (5-8kg) – after being put on the diet.
But those who also consumed more water before their meals lost an additional 2 kg (4.4lb) in comparison to the diet only group.

This could be because those drinking more water ate fewer calories during meals – tests showed they ate approximately 40 fewer calories per meal.
The findings back up previous studies showing people who drink more water eat on average 200 calories less than those who do not drink before meals.
This study provides compelling evidence to encourage all those attempting to lose weight to increase their daily intake of water to help in their efforts.
Specifically, one should consume approximately 2 cups of water, about half an hour prior to most meals.
As has previously described, drinking more water will also have the added bonus of forcing you to take bathroom breaks, thereby increasing your level of physical activity.

WHY WE SHOULD EAT WATER, NOT DRINK IT
Health enthusiasts are arguing we should actually be eating more water-rich foods and drinking less.
Drinking water can cause it to pass straight through our system, flushing out vitamins and minerals as it does – while eating it allows it to get into our cells,
‘Healthy hydration is about the water you hold in the body, not the water you drink that passes straight through,’ says Dr Howard Murad, associate clinic professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, and author of The Water Secret.
The water in food is surrounded by other molecules that help it get into our cells more easily, and ensure it stays in our system for long enough to be put to good use.
‘When we eat water-rich foods, we absorb water more slowly because it is trapped in the structure of these foods,’ says Dr Murad.

‘That slow absorption means the water in food stays in our bodies longer, and brings a multitude of additional benefits.’

In an average day, a quarter of our liquid comes from our food. Almost all food has some water in it (even a slice of bread can be as much as 33 per cent).

Fruit and vegetables are the most water-laden, with cucumbers, lettuce, courgettes and radishes boasting more than 95 per cent.

In fact, studies show that fruit and vegetables can hydrate the body twice as effectively as a glass of water.

One study, by researchers at the University of Aberdeen Medical School, found that the natural sugars, proteins, mineral salts and vitamins in water-rich fruits and vegetables means they also supplement the nutrients lost through exercise.

Conclusion: Having water in your system doesn’t have to be by just drinking a glass of water. As stated above drinking water is extremely essential and doesn’t just give you the benefits of drinking water but also tells you all the ways you can consume water for a healthier more active lifestyle.

Apart from the journey to weight loss, every other aspect of your life can be greatly limited by you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being dreamy, but you mustn’t just stop at being a mere dreamer. You need to take steps towards that dream that you’ve always had. It won’t just come to you like magic.

As the popular saying goes, if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail. So in order to reach your weight loss goals, you need to really plan and we’re going to share with you some of the things to put in place to avoid failure in the long run.

Know Your Areas of Weakness

So to avoid yourself from being the greatest limitation to your weight loss, you need to properly arm yourself for the battle ahead. First of all, you need to know your week spots. Do you overeat? When do you overeat? Why do you overeat? How strong is your willpower? Do you push yourself hard enough when it comes to working out?

If you overeat, look for ways to avoid it.  Have more than 3 meals a day. Instead, have at least 5 short healthy meals. Use a particular bowl or plate to measure the amount of food you eat.

Some people overeat because they always wait till they’re hungry before eating while others overeat because they’re always hasty when eating. Whatever the case might be, some of the ways to avoid overeating involves the following.

• Drink enough water before you start eating and make sure to avoid drinking whilst eating.
• Eat slowly.
• Make sure your meals always have a lot of fiber and protein.

Make Your Environment Healthy

Another major important step to take is to a change in your environment because whether you know it or not, your environment has a lot of impact on your weight.

We are not saying that you should change your friends or start avoiding them. All you need to do is to make sure that you take preventive measures. If your friends are those type of friends that hardly pay attention to what they eat, then stop eating with those friends. Surround yourself with people that would encourage and motivate you to keep up the great job that you’ve started.

Furthermore, make sure to surround yourself with weight-loss friendly foods. If it means clearing out your whole fridge and replacing everything in it, then it’s worth it.

Hire Professional Help

Even though your family members are being supportive and all whatnot, it is also important that you seek the help of professionals. So getting a personal trainer and dietician isn’t such a bad idea. Remember, you’re doing all these to make sure that “you” don’t stand in the way between you and your fitness goals.

Pen down your meal plans

When it comes to eating right, it is always easier if you write the whole thing down. So get yourself a personal diary if you don’t have one already. Write your meal plan for the week and make sure you stick to it.

Conclusion

If you take these above-mentioned steps, you’ve ultimately made the whole weight loss process easier. This is the practical truth.

A good idea for making the most of your fitness plans is to hire a personal trainer. We can help you get connected with male and female personal trainers who can provide one on one or group sessions. Please get in touch with us at:

Losing weight has become a major goal in people’s life lately and it is most times easier said than done, due to the many challenges that come with it. It takes people so much discipline and sweats to meet their target, which is one of the major reasons so many people keep off from it.

You have probably thought about shedding off some weights, but you just can’t, because you can’t go through the hardship and determination that comes with it. The good news here is that you can actually shed off those extra fats, and lose weight, without having to go to the gym or wake out of your sleep to jog, or starve.

You can make this happen by following the lazy girl’s guide below.

1. Get more sleep

A random lazy girl loves to sleep, so this shouldn’t be a challenge in any way. All you need to do is to sleep for long hours at night, to avoid storage of excess fats in your body. Take your time, and spend about 7-9 hours sleep every night. This exercise is easy and, at the same time, effective to help you to reach your target. Interestingly, it will increase your energy and prepare you for the day ahead.

2. Make more moves

You might not have so much time or strength to do serious workouts like some other people, but you can definitely make some interesting moves. Don’t sit and do nothing to your muscles all day. Take a break, and walk around. It could be a 5-minute break but let it worth it. You can stand up from your chair, and wrap your arms around yourself, or move your legs and some parts of your body. You can dance too, it is a form of exercising. Throw arms up in the air, jump, do little squats. Just make sure you keep your body active.

3. Drink water

What is more interesting than grabbing a glass of water rather than jogging around? When you wake up in the morning, drink water. Before taking any meal, drink a full glass of water. Water functions to cut down calories in the body, and additional benefit is that it keeps you full, such that you won’t be able to eat so much food again. So, rather than taking that sugary drink with your meal, be friendly with water. The average amount of water to take in a day is 8cups, but you really do not need to limit yourself to that. You can take more, depending on your body demand and daily activities.

4. Walk more

Learn the walking habit. It’s not as difficult as you think. When a friend pays you a visit, you can take a stroll out with him/her and continue your gist, rather than sitting and laughing off the seat. When you are on a long call, you can decide to take a walk around. Your working place or your destination is probably not so far, you can always quit the cabs and walk the walk. To make it more interesting, you can walk with friends and colleagues, and this will even make you walk longer than you ever thought of.

5. Choose what you eat

When it is time for meal, learn to choose what you eat, properly, and have your fitness goal in mind. Try to avoid high-calorie foods like: fried chicken, crackers, chips, doughnuts, or anything with a deep fry. You can still take those meals but not too much, try to minimize.  Instead, be a lover of foods that are rich in protein or fiber; while protein will help nourish your body with the right amount of nutrients, fiber will keep you full and avoid you eating too much. Choose foods like: lean meat, beef, eggs, whole-grain breads, green leafy vegetables, and so on.

Conclusion

If you follow the above guide consistently, there will be changes over time and you’ll be meeting up with your fitness goal. This works better than you just sitting and brooding over the fact that losing weight can be stressful.

Gaining weight during winter almost seems inevitable. There’s so much excitement that surrounds this period, with super sales in supermarkets on junk foods which expedite your weight gain. The whole winter atmosphere that just happens to commemorate with Christmas. A celebration that makes eating junk traditional with it.

Moreover, the cold during this period makes many people feel a bit lazier, so they tend to discontinue their training. the good news, though, is that you don’t have to fall victim to this trend by getting fat during winter. ll you have to do is apply the seven tips we’ll show you for weight gain during winter.

#1. Eat more protein

You have to eat, and even when you’re not hungry, you may feel peckish. Proteins do not just help you lose weight, they also help in gaining muscle mass. The temptation may be raging to grab a quick cheeseburger or three donuts, but it is better for you to get a protein snack such as a protein chocolate bar.

Eat lean protein rather than foods high in fat. For instance, omelet with veg, beans, fish, skinless chicken breasts, etc. are good examples of lean protein. Foods high in protein take a longer time to digest and metabolize, which means you’ll burn more calories trying to process them.

#2. Avoid emotional eating

Many people eat for the wrong reasons. Most of the eating done during the holidays is inspired by diverse emotions, perhaps feelings of being happy, lonely and sad, anxious, bored, or even just excited. It is inevitable to eat emotionally sometimes if we don’t have the right mindset and coping mechanisms.

If you’re struggling with such an issue, endeavor to stay close to the things that make you happy (as long as they’re not more heaps of ice cream and cake!). These things could be family, friends, or even a place, etc. Or perhaps the issue is that you need a break. Do more breathing, or even yoga, and get your mind relaxed.

#3. Challenge yourself

Although the urge to eat junk always comes, you need to challenge yourself to take control. Ask yourself, “do I really need another piece of chocolate cake?” Or “how will all this junk food make me feel better?” and the like.

Luckily enough for you, you’re in charge of your actions and junk food isn’t in charge of you. Don’t curl up in that winter cold and feast on the hot pie, rather throw on a sports cardigan and take a jog.

#4. Yes, jogging

You may think that running in the cold is absurd, but actually, it’s to your benefit. According to Professional, Tom Holland, “the colder the weather, the less heat stress on the body, which makes it significantly easier to run. Running in hot and humid weather is extremely taxing on the body—there is a reason why the majority of marathons are held in October and November”

And if you’ve ever jogged during winter and summer, you’ll definitely nod your head and agree with Tom Holland.

Moreover, it’s a great substitute to going to the gym during winter. This is because you’re most likely to dread the snowy drive or cold walk to the gym. Well, unless it’s in a heated room next to your sitting room (what are the odds).

#5. Don’t get carried away

Indeed, it can be easy to get carried away with the fun and excitement that surrounds winter. This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t have fun, but simply remember that winter doesn’t last forever and when the next season comes, you’ll be back in the gym struggling to burn calories you didn’t necessarily have to gain.

Winter is undoubtedly an exciting time and it’s easy to get carried away. You must program yourself to say “no” sometimes and remember your reason for doing so in the first place. Have fun and enjoy your winter but don’t let it be a weight gain fest.

A good idea for making the most of your fitness plans is to hire a personal trainer. We can help you get connected with male and female personal trainers who can provide one on one or group sessions. Please get in touch with us at:

Walking down the road in the morning, climbing steps to your office or even doing laps at home can help burn some of the calories you have stored up in your body.  Every day, the body needs to burn out some of these calories and this can’t happen if you just sit around doing nothing. There are certain activities which are not vigorous but can definitely help you burn more calories and they can be done without you heading for the gym to some complicated, beeping hunk of metal.

Here are some of such activities that we know can be very helpful:

1. Shopping

Do you love shopping? – Then shop till you drop. Pushing a cart up and down the supermarket for an hour will burn a lot of calories and you will get to know the price list of a lot of healthful stuff. So taking a frequent visit to the mall will be good advice, even if you’re not buying anything, window shopping isn’t such a bad idea.

2. Cleaning

Do your furniture, utensils and other household properties fail the clean test? Then get ready for at least 30mins of cleaning and you will be ready the next time a sanitary agent stops by for an inspection. You will not only be happy about how clean your house will be but also on how much calories you have actually burnt.

3. Laundry

It might be a really boring turn off, but washing and folding clothes for 30 minutes can actually help you burn up to 72 calories. Spend less money on paying someone else to do your laundry and in turn burn more calories in the process.

4. Sweeping

Do not cry over spilled milk or anything, especially when 30 minutes of sweeping and mopping can help burn up to 153 calories. So get your hands dirty and go burn them calories, Start working on moving those bones and swinging the broom and be sure to lose weight without even trying so hard.

5. Sleep

Even when you are sleeping you’re burning calories. After all the activities you have carried out, you just have to shut your eyes and erase 360 calories by having a good 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Conclusion

Be it cleaning, mopping, walking or even sleeping, you might see them as boring and common everyday things, but they may be saving your life unknowingly. Storing up calories without burning them can be very harmful to your body and health. Therefore, start loving your everyday chores and you will have a happy clean home and life.

Weight gain can be influenced by a myriad of things, including:- food intake, exercising, habits, genes and environment. Your environment plays an important role in your weight. For instance, people from the countries with a greater percentage of obese people such as countries located in the middle East, or Pacific Islands, have a greater chance of becoming obese than people from countries with a lesser percentage of obese people such as countries in Asia or Gabon. This inevitably means people who live in countries with a greater rate of obesity have lesser chances of not being obese (losing weight) than those in countries with a lesser rate of obesity. Now that you’ve understood that your environment can influence your weight both negatively and positively, it is important to try to create the appropriate environment for weight loss. Whilst trying to create this environment, you might be unable to change the continent, country and maybe the family you come from, but you can change your immediate environment.

Some ways you can do this is includes;

1.Turn off the Heater

Stop over regulating your environment. Yes, you should make sure it is not so cold that you actually get hypothermia but whilst doing that remember your body also has the ability to adapt to temperatures. Therefore, give your body a chance to burn some fat whilst heating itself up. Not only would you be losing some calories but you would also be saving some money.

2.Move out of town

This might sound drastic however, when next you are looking for a place to stay, look towards the country side. Not only do you have less fast food  joints , you  also have  the opportunity to exercise  more (less taxis more cycling or walking).  In addition,  being far  away  from people who might promote habits that are unfavourable for your weight is a plus.

3.Turn off the TV

Research has shown that there is a relationship between the number of hours spent in front of the Television and the amount of weight you are likely to gain. Therefore do yourself a favour and reduce that particular risk. Besides, by switching off the television, you have time to do more productive things such as, biking, hiking, gardening etc, which are also healthier.

4. Get a pet

This is especially for those who don’t have a lot of loved ones around them. Lonely people are more likely to gain weight. Therefore, whilst you make new friends, get a friend you are responsible for; one you can love and would love you in return. Puppies are always the better option in this case.

Conclusion

Your environment does play an important role on your weight. However, whilst controlling environmental factors, it is important to make sure you eat right and exercise adequately alongside.

Eating right and using the best cosmetics without exercise is not enough to make your lifestyle completely healthy. Exercise is not always about losing weight or building muscles. Research has shown that creating time for regular exercise, irrespective of the age or shape, helps increase your physical and mental confidence. Let’s look at some of the possible benefits of exercising

1.Exercise strengthens your bones

Average weight bearing exercises that require you to work against gravity, like hiking, climbing the stairs, dancing, walking, jogging and running, help build your bones and muscles. These exercises apply tension to the body, enabling it to increase bone density and tone muscles. This makes the bone stronger and reduces the risk of bone diseases like osteoporosis.

2.Exercise and your skin

Regular physical activity improves acne, wrinkles and dull skin. Exercise increases the blood circulation to the skin, thereby increasing its nourishment. The presence of blood and oxygen in the skin helps remove toxins from skin, including those that clog pores. A nice shower after exercising helps to remove the toxins and dirt that has been driven out of skin, leaving you refreshed.

3.Exercise improves brain power

Exercise increases blood flow to the brain and provides it with oxygen and nutrients. Studies have shown that certain exercises could create new brain cells, which boosts overall brain performance. It also reduces the rate of cognitive degeneration that occurs naturally with age by enhancing the release of certain chemicals needed in the brain. Exercise increases the level of special brain proteins that aid in thinking, decision making and learning.

4.Exercise and your mood

Regular exercise has been proven to reduce the risk of depression while maintaining your psychological health. Exercise boosts mood by increasing the blood levels of endorphins which are important for happiness. It also increases the level of serotonin in the brain that plays a role in keeping you in a calm state. While moderate exercises enhances your immune system and keeps you away from infections, rigorous exercises without alternating your workout could weaken your immune system and cause you to break down.

5. Exercise and stress

One of the most common benefits of exercise is its ability to reduce stress. Exercise helps increase circulating levels of norepinephrine in the blood, thereby allowing the brain regulate its response to stress. Exercise at the long run reduces the amount of stress hormones in the body, resulting in relaxed blood vessels, lower blood pressure and a reduced heart rate. Not only does exercise reduce stress, it also improves your body’s ability to deal with stress.

6. Exercise and your memory

Regular moderate exercise enhances your memory and keeps you alert to learn new things. It enhances production of cells in the part of the brain necessary for learning and memory (hippocampus). This could also help in language retention, even for the elderly.

Conclusion

For many people in Dubai and all over the world, the quest for weight loss is hampered by the simple fact of not having enough time. Let’s face it: it’s hard to build up enthusiasm for going to the gym after a long hard day of work or taking care of the kids. But what if we told you that you don’t even need to step outside of your own home to lose weight and achieve your dream body? It’s actually quite possible and very realistic. There’s no need for 4 mile runs in the searing heat, or costly gym subscriptions; all you need is a few simple exercise moves that you can perform as long as you have a little space in your home. We have compile six of such moves in this article, for you, and you can read all about them below:

1. Zumba

Zumba is a dance move that is very effective for weight loss and has become very popular in modern times. Actually this weight loss technique is not technically a dance move per se, but more of a hybrid dance-exercise move, designed to be performed to high tempo music. The fast tempo of Zumba and it’s ability to make you use multiple body parts at once, make it an ideal option for weight loss. The best part is, you don’t even get to feel the pain as you’ll be too busy having a great time. All you have to do is get yourself a Zumba DVD at home, and you’re good to go.

2. Skipping rope

Lots of people think that skipping rope is easy and is a fun game for children and therefore do not take it as a serious exercise. Don’t make this mistake. Skipping ropes might not be the most intense exercise you’ll ever do, but it’s intense enough to give you that burn in your calves and have you out of breath within minutes. The best thing about skipping ropes is that its so much fun and can be done by anyone, almost anywhere.

3. Squats

Squats are undoubtedly the big daddy of body weight exercises, achieving a muscle stimulation that significantly outstrips most other exercise moves you could think of. This is because most squats target the quads, glutes and hamstrings which are three of the largest muscles in the human body. Apart from the fact that you could be working so many muscles at the same time, you will also achieve a higher release of human growth hormone which would lead to increased muscle growth.

There are a variety of squat moves but most could be performed form the comfort of your own bedroom.

4. Shadow boxing

Could punching the air achieve much more than making you look a little silly for a few minutes? Evidently yes! Shadow boxing is a great move for burning calories and although other more conventional exercises such as running or swimming will lead to greater amounts of weight loss, shadow boxing has the advantage of being easy to do literally anywhere you are. If you’re a fan of boxing, this one is for you.

5. Push-ups

No list of exercises to try at home would feel complete with the omission of good old trusty push-ups. Push-us are used by millions of people all over the world, including professional athletes, elite military and police units and the average joe simply trying to improve their look. Like squats, push-ups are a compound exercise and will work multiple muscle groups including the abs, triggering the secretion of high amounts of human growth hormone.

6. Tabata training

Tabata training is not exactly an exercise of its own but is more of an exercise enhancement technique. Using this method, you perform any physical activity at maximal intensity for a 20 second period followed by a 10 second break over a 4 minute period. Researchers have found that working out in this way yields greater cardiovascular fitness than any other workout technique invented.

At the end of the day, you don’t even need to spend a minute in the gym, as you could burn fat and gain nicely toned muscles right from the comfort of your own home, and you don’t even have to spend hours at it either. Now that we’ve shown you how you can achieve your weight loss goals comfortably, from home, the next thing you have to do is put on your sneakers and start working out right away.
