Here are some fascinating fat fighting facts that I bet you didn’t know:

Eating half a grapefruit before meals helped patients reduce their insulin levels for 2 hours after eating. This makes the grapefruit 433% more effective at burning fat compared with dieting alone.

Scientists gave one groups of overweight women a whole-wheat protein to eat, and compared results with another group following a standard low calorie diet. The group who ate the wheat protein lost an average of 5.5kgs during the experiment, while the group who ate the standard low calorie diet lost only 2.8kg, making whole wheat proteins 96% more effective for weight loss.

In a Brazilian study, overweight, non-smokers with high cholesterol were given either fruits or meal replacement cookies to eat three times a day. Both groups consumed exactly the same calories, with a diet consisting of 55% carbohydrates, 15% protein and 30% fat. The group that ate the fruit lost 1.22 kg but the meal replacement cookie group lost only 0.88 kg, making the fruit 38% more effective for burning fat.

The gorgeous daughter of actress Goldie Hawn gained 60 pounds during her pregnancy, which she needed to shed quickly before commencing on her next film.

She consumed high protein meals in smaller portions, and she combined this diet with an exercise program that includes weight training and cardiovascular workouts. After getting a lot of flak because of her post-pregnancy figure, Kate removed all that baby weight in only four months and has gained abdominal muscles that gained the envy of many in Hollywood.

As one of the most successful talk-show hosts in the world, there is no question that Oprah needs to maintain her physical appearance for her millions of audiences.

Food Options for Busy Dieters

posted by Tanya R in January 18th, 2008 

For many dieters, losing weight is not very easy. Even with the best of intentions, many people lack the time and discipline it takes to modify their diet to encourage healthy weight loss. With today’s hectic lifestyles, who really has time to cook — let alone measure and count calories?

Purchasing Pre Packaged Frozen Foods

I know some people who have actually resorted to purchasing pre-packaged frozen diet foods such as lean cuisine or weight watchers to help them shed a few pounds, but is this an effective way to lose weight?

Some say yes, some say no.

Some people feel that the low calorie, low fat, and small portions frozen foods offer help them stay on course with their diet plans. Skeptics, on the other hand, are afraid that the portions are too small…and their hunger will sabotage their weight loss efforts.

It’s all about what you eat that makes the difference.

Purchasing pre packaged foods can help you stay on track, but you have to be careful what foods you buy. You want to pick meals that are low in sodium, saturated fats, and chemicals.

Food delivery services

Many folks have found the convince of food delivery services. For example, The Chefs Diet is the largest and most popular Zone diet food delivery service currently on the market. It is a healthy and convenient way to shed a few pounds.

The Chefs Diet is based first and foremost on the idea that your food should be appealing. Unlike many trend diets, the Chefs Diet isn’t a high cab diet or a high protein diet or any of that stuff that makes diets so hard to stick with. Instead, the Chefs Diet is a balanced diet, which has a balanced proportion of protein and “good fats” and a slightly higher proportion of carbs.

The Chefs Diet is more valuable than pre-packaged meals from the grocery store because of variety, quality, and freshness. The service offers Zone diet approved meal plans, kosher diets, kids diets, glycemic index diets, and more. Chefs Diet is a great gourmet meal delivery program for anyone who does not want to spend money on any groceries or eating out and it is a service that helps busy dieters stay on track.
