Heart-based diet (based on soup).. Weight loss by eating unlimited amounts of cabbage and green onion soup, green pepper and a little canned tomatoes

Heart-based diet (soup-based):
This diet allows you to eat unlimited amounts of soups made from onion, cabbage, green onions, green peppers and a few canned tomatoes (fortified with some foods on some days as follows:

- First day: soup with fruit.

- Day 2: soup, vegetables and grilled potatoes.

- Day 3: soup, fruit and vegetables.

- Day 4: soup, eight banana beads and skimmed milk.

- Day 5: soup, mutton and tomatoes.

- Day 6: soup, mutton and tomatoes.

- Day 7: soup, whole rice and vegetables.

This diet follows for only one week, and although it is tedious it may only lead to weight loss.
However, they do not change bad eating habits.

Causes of failure of diets.. The storage of food in the form of fat or heartburn is determined by a number of chemical reactions that are stimulated by enzymes

Being fed a diet is a losing battle. When you eat less as part of your weight loss regimen, your body takes the impression that food lowers metabolism to take advantage of the few foods you have. For example, if you followed a diet for a week and then returned to your usual food system, food will not be consumed because of slow metabolism and will be stored in the form of fat and will regain lost weight.
In most diets, a small amount of fat is lost due to the body's retention of existing fats and the onset of muscle breakdown and loss of water. But when moderate amounts of food are eaten at frequent intervals, the body will realize that food is available and will not need to store excess fat and will keep the metabolism at its normal level.
Food may turn into fat or energy, meaning you can store your foods in the form of fat, which increases your weight as you can just as energy in various life activities. The storage of food in the form of fat or heartburn is determined by a number of chemical reactions that are stimulated by enzymes, which in turn depend on vitamins and minerals. However, it is not easy to convert all kinds of foods into energy. When the conversion of food into energy is impossible, the body stores it in the form of fat.
If you ask us what calorie calorie (Calorie)? Is a scientific perspective and a thermal unit to produce energy from food. The idea that has been maintained about whether the number of calories entering the body is less than the number of calories used in body activities and exercise, the body will lose weight is inaccurate because the type of calorie temperature is an important factor in this equation and must take into account the source, Of fats (fats), proteins (Proteins) or carbohydrates (carbohydrates).
Instead of fussing over diets, try to work in harmony with your body's demands and hunger attacks (Hunger Urges). A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 1996 found that maintaining a constant weight for long periods of time is always associated with good health. There is no problem with losing excess weight, but the problem is in re-gaining and then losing it and so on. Studies have shown that weight fluctuations resulting from dieting are always associated with health problems such as increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and increased mortality from heart disease.

Protein diet or Atkins diet .. Eat large amounts of protein with a little carbohydrates for weight loss without affecting the water, fat and composition of ketones

Protein Diet or Atkins Diet:
This type of diet is known in the seventies and depends on the intake of large amounts of proteins such as meat and eggs with a few starches such as bread, rice, macaroni or potatoes. Weight loss is good at first (almost six kilograms in the first two weeks) but unfortunately it is loss of water and not fat.
This type of protein-based diet causes an abnormal metabolism of the body called ketosis, which means the use of proteins to produce energy as an alternative to starches, leading to the formation of ketones.
This protein-based diet can also lead to changes in fat cells as they grow in size, leading to fat accumulation once a person stops dieting.
In addition, the intake of large amounts of protein leads to mood change, resulting in an urgent desire to eat carbohydrates and foods high in fat. On the contrary, when the diet contains sufficient amounts of carbohydrates, which leads to a high proportion of Serotonin (Serotonin) in the brain, which improves mood and reduces appetite.
A study of 40 obese women with a long history of dieting found that those who had a diet of 1,400 calories a day derived from many starches and few proteins for several weeks lost a better body temperament and greater ability to overcome the urge to eat. Compared to those who underwent a diet of 1400 calories per day derived from many proteins and a few carbohydrates.

Cambridge Diet .. Three daily supplemental meals taken in the form of soup or milk with the need for high endurance

Cambridge Diet:
Is a diet based on 500 calories a day through the use of complementary meals containing the daily need of minerals and vitamins. It is three daily supplemental meals taken in the form of soup or milk. The dietician should also drink 2.25 liters of water daily. Four weeks after this diet, one of these supplemental meals is replaced with a normal meal of 400 calories.
This diet needs a high endurance as it is inherently dull. The weight is lost well but the body may lose muscle instead of fat, which is very dangerous, for example, the loss of heart muscle may be fatal. The diet does not follow bad dietary habits and does not provide assistance after the end of the diet.

Diet based on one type of food .. Focus on one type of food and lack of essential vitamins and minerals

This diet may have different forms, usually focusing on one type of food, the most common grapefruit-based and egg-based diet where six boiled eggs and six grains of tomatoes are allowed daily.
This diet may relax your thinking of what you eat because it depends on one type of food. But lacks essential vitamins and minerals.

Changing dietary habits .. Replacing soft drinks with natural juices, abstaining from drinking coffee and tea and abandoning harmful foods such as sugar

One of the most important secrets of losing weight and getting healthy is eating normally. Fresh foods are what your body can easily digest and give you maximum benefit. The body can also burn them to become a good source of energy and do not remain inside the body to cause an increase in weight.
Research by scientists from around the world has shown that attention to health through proper nutrition gives a greater chance of preventing chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, including breast and intestinal cancer.
Since survival is a priority for our bodies, we will use whatever food we give to keep us alive. So giving them high quality foods will make it easier to keep us healthy and keep our weights healthy for us.
Diet plan is a healthy and enjoyable way to feed, and will not give you fast weight loss as in other diets, but it will give you a gradual loss of weight you can maintain. Is not a way of feeding that can be followed for a period of time and then return to your unhealthy eating habits. The idea here is to adopt a new concept to nourish yourself with diversity and enjoyment at the same time by excluding foods that are useless to the body and focusing on good foods in an easy way to follow.
The food remains to enjoy, take time to participate and practice social activities, and there is nothing less ethical than to refrain from hosting family and friends because this may lead to spoil our diet.
Changing dietary habits:
The first step towards improving your diet is to give up the foods that are the maximum harm in your diet, such as sugar and then start introducing fresh foods and whole grains, reduce the consumption of dairy products such as cheeses and replace, then, fried or roasted fried foods.
There are some changes that make your food easy to follow, such as replacing soft drinks with natural juices, other changes that may be much more difficult, such as refraining from drinking coffee and tea. Changing your health habits may seem difficult but can be taken step by step. You will be surprised at your ability to adapt to these changes if you gradually do so and you will realize when you see the results that it was worth trying.
The easiest way to identify the best food choices for your body is the so-called food pyramid, developed by the US Department of Agriculture and now accepted by health and nutrition experts around the world. The pyramid divides foods into sections so that the foods needed by the body at the bottom of the pyramid and the foods needed by the body in small quantities at the top of the pyramid.

Steps towards a new way of nutrition .. Maintain the level of sugar in the blood by reducing the intake of refined foods and reduce the intake of meat and dairy products

Steps towards a new way of feeding:
Eat regular amounts of complex carbohydrates and fresh fruits.
2 - maintain the level of sugar in the blood by reducing the intake of refined foods.
Avoid coffee and tea.
4. Reduce the intake of meat and dairy products.
5. Ensure that the diet contains enough fatty acids and the least amount of non-essential fatty acids.
6. Ensure adequate intake of fiber from natural sources.
7 - Reduce the intake of sodium because it may lead to retention of water inside the body.

Eat regular amounts of complex carbohydrates and fresh fruits .. Slow release of energy broken into simpler materials can be used by the body by the digestive tract in a long time

There are two kinds of simple carbohydrates and complex. To obtain a constant level of blood sugar, you should eat foods containing complex carbohydrates, which give a slow rise in blood sugar to stay constant for the next three hours. These carbohydrates should then be taken back to prevent low blood sugar levels. Eating food (especially containing complex carbohydrates) at intervals (three hours between two snacks) is a proven solution to the fight against the urge to eat.
The result of the intake of complex carbohydrates is the slow release of energy. This is due to the fact that breaking it into simpler substances that the body can use by the digestive tract takes a long time. Starches A wide range of foods, including sugar and starch, are an important source of energy where they are broken down in the body to simple glucose and the length of time that this process occurs is important to maintain the blood sugar level.
Be careful that the complex carbohydrates we eat are not repeated, in general the choice of brown instead of white. For example, bread from whole wheat, brown rice and whole grains instead of refined white, resulting in a lack of minerals, fiber and essential vitamins that makes the body use its own vitamins and minerals to digest this food.

Maintain blood sugar level .. Adrenal hormone secretion of the adrenal gland and glucagon and insulin of the pancreas

The body works similarly to thermostat in the heater to maintain blood sugar.
** When low blood sugar level:
Adrenal hormone is excreted from the adrenal gland, the glucagon hormone of the pancreas. Glucagon works in the opposite way that insulin works. It raises the level of blood glucose by stimulating the liver to convert some glycogen stored inside it into glucose to give energy quickly. If the blood sugar level remains low for a long time, it leads to hypoglycemia.
** When high blood sugar level to high levels:
Insulin is excreted from the pancreas to lower the blood sugar level. Prolonged high blood sugar levels lead to high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). In severe cases, it leads to diabetes, which requires medical treatment, which makes the patient need regular doses of insulin. Weight fluctuation, as we mentioned earlier, increases the risk of diabetes, and people with diabetes are 77 times more likely to develop diabetes than non-obese people.
In the normal case, the amount that increases or decreases the level of sugar in the blood depends on when and what to eat from foods.

Healthy Food & Beverage.. Complex starches and avoid refined foods such as sugar and white flour

What do we eat from foods and beverages?
The process of digestion of refined foods is fast because it undergoes many processes that have changed their natural form, and the most refined foods used sugar and white flour. Rapid digestion of refined foods leads to rapid glucose entry into the bloodstream, which also occurs when eating stimulant foods and beverages such as coffee, tea and chocolate. This sharp, rapid rise in your blood sugar level makes you feel better for a while but soon drops to feel tired and dry, so complex carbohydrates are the best to keep your blood sugar level.

Times of eating and drinking.. Eat snacks at frequent intervals and avoid omission of main meals

When to eat food and drinks?
If the meal lasts longer, the blood glucose level will drop to low levels, making you feel the need for quick support, such as a cup of tea with biscuits. At the same time the adrenal gland will stimulate the liver to produce glucose. The occurrence of these two processes at the same time will lead to a high level of glucose in the blood, which leads to the secretion of insulin from the pancreas in order to reduce the level of glucose in the blood.
To avoid such a situation we can try the following:
- Eat snacks at intervals (3 hours), as opposed to what we used to hear to prevent eating between meals.
- Avoid omission of main meals, some may think that the omission of some meals lead to weight loss, but in fact leads to a fluctuation in the level of glucose in the blood. Creating a state of biological urgency that must be addressed.

Avoid stimulant drinks.. Have a stimulant effect and resistant to depression despite the risk of addiction and toxicity

Coffee and tea are socially acceptable drinks and have an antidepressant and antidepressant effect for us. As part of our daily lives, we overlook its addictive properties. These drinks are less harmful to younger people because they can adapt and get rid of toxins easily, unlike the older ones who have less ability to withstand and expel toxins.

Coffee damage.. Caffeine, thiopromine and theophylline stimulants. Exits minerals and vitamins from the body due to the diuretic effect of caffeine

Coffee contains three types of caffeine stimulants (Caffeine), Theobromine (Theobromine), and Theophylline. A cup of instant coffee contains about 66 milligrams of caffeine and fresh coffee contains larger amounts. The stimulant effect of coffee soon turns into a depression, forcing you to eat another cup of coffee and so on, leading to the release of minerals and vitamins from the body due to the diuretic effect of caffeine. There is no doubt that it is important to increase the intake of fluids, but we must avoid coffee and replace it with non-volatile drinks such as water, herbal tea, coffee, barley and natural juices. Another problem with drinking coffee is the substance active in caffeine (Methylxanthines), which is often associated with benign breast diseases known as fibrocystic disease. Many women suffer from breast pain in the premenstrual week, which may get worse causing Mastalgia and may occur at any time during the month. Studies have shown that abstaining from coffee has led to the healing of many women called Mastalgia. Methyxanthines are found in all caffeine-containing products, including chocolate, soft drinks such as cola, as in tea.

Damage to tea.. Effect on the color of teeth and prevent absorption of important metals in the gastrointestinal tract

Tea contains two main substances, Caffeine and Tannin. Although two cups of tea contain less caffeine than a similar cup of coffee (about 50 milligrams), the common belief that tea is better for us than coffee is Wrong belief In addition to the harmful effect of caffeine, tannin, which in addition to its effect on the color of teeth, prevents the absorption of many important minerals in the gastrointestinal tract. So if you are taking tea, it should be at least half an hour before or after meals.
If decaffeinated beverages are the solution?
Although this type of coffee does not contain caffeine, it still contains other chemicals such as theobromine and theophylline, which have a stimulant effect.
The process of decaffeinating coffee is done by chemicals that remain in it.

Symptoms of withdrawal of caffeine from the body .. Headache. Depression. Nausea. tiredness

Many people today are aware of the health problems of stimulant drinks, which makes them look for alternatives. However, as with all medications, there are many symptoms associated with stopping caffeine-containing beverages, especially when they occur suddenly. These include:
Headache.
- Depression.
- Nausea.
- tiredness.
Some hospitals have discovered that postoperative symptoms are not caused by anesthesia, as I have previously thought, but are symptoms of caffeine withdrawal from the body. The patient is advised to stop eating and drinking for several hours before anesthesia.
Therefore, if you decide to exclude caffeine from your diet, it is best to do it gradually and over a period of several weeks to avoid these symptoms.

Reduce the intake of meat and dairy products .. Difficulty digesting and absorption of casein protein in the gastrointestinal tract and impede fat burning process

The body needs a small amount of protein which is essential for the formation of bones, skin, hair and muscles. It is important to monitor the amount of protein we eat, which must be from healthy sources because the increase in protein in the body is always associated with kidney stones, gout, arthritis and high blood pressure. Red meat, including beef, lamb and others, is mainly associated with colon and bowel cancer. So it is better to completely exclude them from our diet. Eggs and poultry can be taken with caution. For example, we should choose from eggs the so-called Free Range Eggs, eggs that were produced naturally without the use of growth hormones and antibiotics (municipal eggs). Fresh chicken should be selected and cooked sufficiently to kill harmful bacteria.
It is best to reduce dairy products such as milk, cheese, and cream because they contain casein protein, which is difficult to digest and absorb in the digestive tract. The difficulty of digesting these products hinders the process of fat burning leading to accumulation and dairy products may sometimes cause health problems such as eczema, nosebleed and inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.
Cows are now given antibiotics to accelerate their growth and give hormones to increase milk production. In the past, one cow produced about 9 liters of milk a day, but now it can produce more than 56 liters a day. It is preferable to choose dairy products from sheep and goats raised on small farms because farmers in these farms are more aware and do not interfere with the nature of these animals in order to increase milk production.

Benefits of yogurt .. Beneficial bacteria that love acids help digest protein and inhibit the natural digestive tract

Yogurt is useful for health when it contains beneficial bacteria that love the acids and help digest the protein (Lactobacillus Acidophilus), which is a natural inhibitor of the digestive tract. The exposure of yoghurt to heat treatment corrupts these bacteria and thus does not benefit from eating it. This type of yogurt can be found in major food stores where we will find the word "Bio" or "Live" in a living sense on the box.
Take care of yogurt, which contains fruits, because it contains large amounts of sugar. It can be replaced by adding fresh fruit to natural yoghurt (Bio-Organic Yoghurt).

Eat large amounts of natural fiber .. Maintain the level of sugar in the blood and prevent constipation and expulsion of toxins from the body and reduce the diseases of the colon and determine the amount of estrogen

Fiber in its natural form helps maintain the blood sugar level and is also useful for preventing intestinal problems such as constipation. Fiber also helps digestion, which makes you feel full, giving you a sense of satisfaction with what you eat, leading to a break in eating. Fiber also helps to expel toxins from your body.
The health benefits of fiber intake include the reduction of colon-related diseases including colon cancer and lower cholesterol levels. Fiber is important in determining the amount of estrogen stored and produced for its association with estrogen, which helps in the effectiveness of its extraction.
Chronic constipation is always associated with breast cancer, where these toxic wastes are not released from the body to storage within the body's fatty tissues, including the breast. Increasing the amount of fiber by eating fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet helps prevent breast cancer.
Increased intake of fresh fruits and vegetables is also important to treat constipation. If the problem continues, one tablespoon of flaxseed can be added to breakfast cereals in the morning or a tablespoon of flaxseed can be immersed in a small amount of water and then taken. Also taking a supplement of vitamin C (1000 mg) daily helps eliminate constipation.

Tips on increasing the amount of natural fiber in the diet .. Bran consumption leads to many problems related to the digestive tract such as inflammatory bowel disease

** eat:
- Large quantity of fruits and vegetables whether fresh or cooked.
- Whole grains such as brown rice, wheat and whole wheat.
- Beans can be taken with the salad (it is OK to use canned pulses but be sure to be free of sugar).
- Nuts and seeds can be directly eaten or used in cooking.
** Avoid or reduce:
- refined and processed starches such as cake, biscuits and everything containing white flour and sugar.
- Bran (Bran) alone or in breakfast cereals.
Bran contains Phytate, which is associated with minerals such as zinc, calcium, iron and magnesium, making it difficult to absorb. Bran ingestion causes many gastrointestinal problems such as IBS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
