Ephedra makes the emotions beat faster, increases bittersweet pressure, speeds spread the metabolism, and acts as a diuretic. But throughout its lingering gag its main use has been as a bronchodilator, to treat the bronchial and nasal congestion of asthma, allergies, colds, and sinus infections. In the 1920s, U. S. drug companies began extracting active ingredients from the herb and using it in asthma and cold medicines. A practice that many companies still follow today.

"To lose body fat, you must burn more energy than you eat so that your body has to draw upon the fuel stored in fat cells. The only way to lose weight is to increase the amount of fuel you burn, decrease the amount you consume, or do both at the same time. The rate at which you can lose weight is limited by how fast the body burns energy."

Dairy and Weight Loss



“Two glasses of milk each day will help [you] lose weight,” reported the Daily Express. The newspaper said that “adults who drank the most milk – almost two glasses a day – and had the highest vitamin D and calcium levels, lost an average of almost 12lb after two years.”

Stocking the refrigerator with milk, cheese, and yogurt may make it easier to lose those extra pounds and burn fat without cutting back drastically on calories, according to new research.

Although calories still count, the study showed that obese adults who ate a high-dairy diet lost significantly more weight and fat than those who ate a low-dairy diet containing the same number of calories.

One study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that drinking fat free milk in the morning helped increase the feeling of fullness, and subsequently led to decreased calorie intake at the next meal in comparison to a fruit drink.

Another study published in Obesity Reviews, reported that diets higher in dairy calcium caused greater excretion of fat in the feces, than diets which were lower in calcium.

This study is pretty exciting, suggesting a reduced amount of fat may be absorbed by the body when your diet is higher in calcium, and therefore weight loss could be achieved.

If you have ever been pregnant (or known someone who has!) you are familiar with peculiar food cravings. It is the same thing with your body and nutrients. Your body is looking for specific nutrients and is not getting them in nutrient poor processed foods, and anything marked low fat or low carb. So you eat and you eat and you eat but the body still hasn't gotten what it needs. It's still looking for the nutrients available in fruits and vegetables.

You'll not only maintain your weight much easier if you eat more RAW fruits & veggies but you'll also lose weight much faster on a weight loss plan eating more RAW fruits & veggies and here's another quick fact...

Get Rid of That Belly Fat!



Many people fail to when it comes to losing belly fat, because they try starvation or juice diets to help them. The problem with this is that the metabolism has made it through evolution to work quite effectively, since the ancient civilizations. When it senses starvation periods, it releases fat-storing hormones, when it thinks the next meal is coming and you need more energy for dealing with stress or stringent exercise, it release fat burning hormones.

The major cause of body accumulating around the stomach area (and the cause of insulin resistance) is refined (processed) carbohydrate. You can stop fat from accumulating around the abdomen by eating more "fat burning" foods and by eating eat less - or, better yet, eliminating - refined (processed) carbohydrates.

When it comes to losing belly fat, eating the right foods involves eating healthy, nutritious foods that keeps the metabolism and other body systems burning calories efficiently and keeps the metabolism from releasing the fat storing hormones when it senses the famine state coming on. The first key to losing belly fat is eating the right foods, which means eating the healthy, nutritious, filling, fat-burning foods that your body can use for energy and keeps you burning calories effectively and keeps you from feeling hungry.

In addition, you cannot target lower stomach fat (or fat elsewhere) without those specific dietary changes plus cardio exercise (spot targeting is not possible; overall effort is required). Therefore, you need cardio exercise to lose current body fat and you need to eliminate refined carbohydrates (and replace them with fat burning foods) to avoid body fat accumulating around the abdomen in the future.
