Low Calorie Diets Don't Work: Some Tips | Food and Drink Site

Are you preparing to observe a low calorie diet regime in order to lose pounds? Before you do that, study this article to learn why reduced calorie diet don?t do the job!

I cannot tell you how many men and women have emailed me saying that they adopted particular popular reduced calorie eating plans for a few weeks only to find out that they haven?t lost much weight. As such they thought that weight loss is impossible and thus, they quit the diet altogether!

The main explanation why low-calorie diet programs don?t work is: when you eat low-calorie foods, your body in essence remains malnourished. You really feel ill and drained at all times. Forget about workout routines, you don?t have adequate energy to complete even your normal activities. All these items happen mainly because your metabolism is very low!

If you want to shed fat efficiently, you will need to retain these 2 details in mind:

1. Calories are not the enemy: Calories are not what you need to keep away from; calories are essential to provide your body with the vital nutrition and energy. When your body gets ample food, it?ll increase your metabolic rate, which will automatically result in pounds reduction!

The undesirable calories are those that are accessible in junk foods. So whilst you won?t accumulate fat by eating 10 apples every day (even though a single apple includes nearly 100 calories), you will absolutely get fat by consuming 10 burgers!

That is the basic difference! You need to keep away from empty calories (that is, junk foods) and embrace negative calorie foods, such as fruits and vegetables. Now negative calorie doesn?t imply that there are no calories in these foods; it only indicates that in order to digest themselves, these foods will drive your body to melt away more calories than what they supply. This benefits in calorie deficit which will eventually result in pounds loss!

2. Muscle developing is a must: Do you know that in order to maintain themselves, muscles melt away a ton of your calories? This in effect indicates that the more lean muscles you have, the faster you will be capable to shed bodyweight! Consuming protein-rich meals is a excellent way of making lean muscles; exercising frequently in the gymnasium is yet another. There is nevertheless an additional benefit of eating protein-rich foods: you won?t really feel hungry often; as such, the possibility of overeating is practically non-existent.

When you consume reduced-calorie foods, you are not capable to create muscles; rather you shed muscles. When your body doesn?t have adequate lean muscles, it is not able to burn up fat since your metabolic rate remains at an abnormally low level. So that is one more cause why low calorie diet programs don?t perform!

Most of these reduced calorie diets will only assist you to lose water and muscles; while you may be misled into believing that you have really shed numerous pounds, you have not lost the single most vital thing that is keeping you from becoming thin: and that is FAT! Unless you lose fat, there is no way you can turn out to be fit!

Spa Hotel | Health & Fitness

The appearance of wellness spas is not recent. Previously wellness spas were situated near an organic springtime providing organic wellness and fitness treatment to the visiting public. The phrase is more than often referred in conjunction with healing and treating than wellness and fitness. Spas got a makeover from the Roman queens. They developed wellness spas with a touch of elegance and a feel of high-class. Actually, they started using wellness spas more or less like wellness and fitness companies, immersing in springtime water, getting steam or hot air shower in a stone clothed stage, giving the system the high-class of soft massage, getting a cool dip in springtime water and finishing with a relaxing drink.

Present day hectic pace of life, a busy social lifestyle of the lap top carrying company people has created a real home company for the welcome market ? wellness and fitness journey. The concept of wellness and fitness is quite different than healing or healthcare journey. Wellness is for healthy people seeking to live better, whereas healthcare journey is for patients seeking to get well. This fine variation makes wellness and fitness journey or spa tourist an interesting promotion proposition.

The phrase spa is derived from its Latina origin ? salus per aquam, basically converting as water blessed wellness. No wonder then that the wellness and fitness spots were situated near organic springs as water therapies is considered mother of all detox therapies. The German wellness destinations like Baden and Bad Neunehar, to name a few, have the prefix Bad, meaning spa or basically shower. Spa hotel? and resorts today offer organic wellness and fitness, physical, mental, emotional and religious in luxurious surroundings and atmosphere.

According to the first ever spa report published by Christine Tetreault at the 2008 International Spa Peak in New York, the world spa economy was at US$ 250 million. This verifies the point that the economic slowdown had no impact on wellness and Fitness Company.

Spa Company has come of age generating job opportunities by millions. It has become very focused, specialized and professional. Spas can be classified into three categories ? the day spa, providing a specific therapies, location spa- as the name suggests, these are wellness spas where guests stay, get better, have an interesting time as the spa offers a whole range of system indulging therapies and therapies, and finally the healthcare wellness spas which are more on clinical and medicine based therapies. The market grows on day wellness spas in the town accommodations and location wellness spas in hotel accommodations.

Spa preparing for a high-class town hotel and a spa hotel is a very complex exercise. Since wellness and fitness is the main promotion, the preparing and implementing group must be fully aware of various processes and procedures, the flow of activity, space preparing, knowledge of latest spa, gym and therapies gadgets, technology, lay outs etc. The spa preparing and performing group normally consists of a technical resource, interior designer and the facility adviser.

Potential Clemens jurors question cost of hearing

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Opening day at Roger Clemens' new trial saw several prospective jurors question the purpose of a congressional hearing in which he is alleged to have lied, raising the issue as a possible challenge for prosecutors trying to convict the famed baseball pitcher.

Two of those jurors still made the first cut after being questioned by the judge and lawyers in the case. Clemens watched intently as the jurors answered the questions, occasionally leaning over to chat with his lawyer, flip through papers or jot notes down.

The quest to find 12 impartial jurors and four alternates continues Tuesday. Prospective jurors who have already passed the first hurdle were asked to return Wednesday.

Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young Award winner, was back in court Monday in the government's second attempt to prove that he misled a House committee at a landmark drugs-and-sports hearing in 2008. The first trial last July ended in a mistrial when prosecutors introduced inadmissible evidence after only two witnesses had been called.

During Monday's session, one potential juror said he felt "it was a little bit ridiculous" when Congress held hearings on drug use in sports because he felt the government should have been focusing on bigger problems. Asked whether he thought it was wasteful for Congress to hold the steroid hearings, he responded, "Yes."

Nevertheless, the native of Chile ? an investment officer for an international bank ? was asked to return, the only male to remain in the jury pool among those who were individually screened on the first day. He said he could keep the issue of whether Clemens lied separate from whether Congress should have had the hearings in the first place, saying, "This is a completely different process."

Another potential juror recalled the 2008 hearing by saying, "At the time, I remember thinking it didn't seem to be a great use of taxpayer money." But she, too, was kept in the pool after she said she could be impartial.

"Even if I don't agree with the reason that you're brought before Congress, you still have to tell the truth. ... If you perjure yourself before Congress, it's still illegal," said the woman, who is an executive for an environmental nonprofit organization. The woman said her father played minor league baseball.

But another potential juror was excused after she volunteered, "I don't know if that's the best use of government tax dollars at this time." She said her feelings could influence her ability to serve.

Another was excused when she said Congress spent "too much time" on the investigation.

Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin even hinted that the defense might challenge Congress' authority to call the hearing in the first place, but U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton was skeptical of that line of questioning. The judge reminded lawyers again that some of the jurors from the first trial felt a retrial would be a waste of taxpayer money, adding that one of the hurdles in the case is that some people think "we have some significant problems in this country that are not being addressed by this Congress."

By the end of the day, only 13 potential jurors had been screened and just seven had been asked to return Wednesday for more questioning.

The retrial is expected to last four to six weeks, with the first several days devoted to jury selection. The vetting process began with Walton taking more than an hour to read 86 yes-or-no questions to the entire pool, including "Do you have any opinions about Major League Baseball ? good, bad or whatever?"

Lawyers on both sides read a list of 104 people who could be called as witnesses or whose names could be mentioned during the trial, including former sluggers Barry Bonds and Jose Canseco; baseball commissioner Bud Selig; New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman; baseball writer Peter Gammons; and former Clemens teammates Paul O'Neill, Jorge Posada and Mike Stanton.

Perhaps the most important name is Brian McNamee, Clemens' former strength trainer, who says he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone and says he kept used needles that will be entered as scientific evidence at trial.

Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin stressed to the jury pool that not all of those potential witnesses would be called, or else they "would be here about two years."

Hardin asked several of the potential jurors if they could conceive of a situation in which somebody says something under oath that he believed to be true, which turns out not to be, without telling an intentional lie ? raising the possibility that could be part of Clemens' defense.

Clemens faces a maximum sentence of up to 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine if convicted on all six charges. Maximum penalties are unlikely because Clemens doesn't have a criminal record, but Walton made plain at the first trial that Clemens was at risk of going to jail. Under U.S. sentencing guidelines, he probably would face up to 15 months to 21 months in prison.

Pictures of the Day: Rashad Evans and famous people

As Rashad Evans trained for this Saturday's title bout with Jon Jones, something about his camp attracted famous people.
Rashad Evans shared this picture of when football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin dropped by their camp. Do you think they're discussing the draft position of Chandler Jones?

During a trip to Puerto Rico, Evans met up with boxing legend Felix Trinidad. It was pretty rude to punch the camera, gentlemen.

Here, Evans is with Victoria Azarenka, the No. 1 ranked tennis player in the world and the winner of the 2012 Australian Open. As shown on "Primetime," he also was in the stands for one of her matches.
Before Evans' UFC 133 bout with Tito Ortiz, he picked up striking tips from another boxing legend. What advice do you thin Bernard Hopkins had for Evans?

Samsung Galaxy S Aviator (U.S. Cellular)

U.S. Cellular's 4G LTE network may be brand new, but the $99.99 Samsung Galaxy S Aviator looks and feels an awful lot like last year's Samsung Droid Charge?($99.99, 4 stars) for Verizon Wireless. That's not a bad thing: the Aviator has a sharp, beautiful display, good call quality, and a great camera and camcorder. It's also the only smartphone?available to tap into U.S. Cellular's 4G LTE network. It's a good choice if you live in an LTE coverage area and want in right now, but the carrier offers better options if you stick with 3G.

Physical Design and Call Quality
As previously mentioned, the Aviator bears a close resemblance to the Samsung Droid Charge. Like the Charge, it measures 5.1 by 2.6 by .5 inches (HWD) and weighs 5 ounces. The area beneath the display dips down into a slightly pointed chin shape, and features four physical function keys. The display itself is another lovely 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen from Samsung. At 800-by-480-pixels, it is lower resolution than the 960-by-540 display on the?Motorola Electrify?($129.99, 4.5 stars), but the colors on Super AMOLED Plus are richer. Typing on the on-screen QWERTY keyboard feels fine in both portrait and landscape modes, and dialing phone numbers is fast.

The Aviator is a dual-band EV-DO Rev A (800/1900 MHz) and 4G LTE device with 802.11b /g/n Wi-Fi.?Voice quality is a strong point. Reception is solid, and calls sound clear and full in the phone's earpiece. The speakerphone also sounds good and is just loud enough to use outdoors. Calls made with the phone sound clear and easy to understand, with decent noise cancellation. Calls also sounded good and voice dialing worked well over a?Jawbone Era?Bluetooth headset ($129, 4.5 stars). Battery life over 3G was average, at 6 hours and 28 minutes of talk time.

4G LTE
U.S. Cellular was the winner for customer satisfaction in our most recent Readers' Choice survey, and is the seventh-largest carrier in the nation, with about six million customers in 26 states. The carrier roams on Verizon and Sprint, offering nationwide 3G coverage when outside of its native coverage area.

The carrier's new LTE network currently covers six regions: Madison-Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Lawton-Wichita Falls, Texas/Oklahoma; Bangor-Portland and Presque Isle-Houlton, Maine; rural eastern North Carolina; and metropolitan Iowa. While it's the only LTE carrier in Maine right now, at least part of all of those other areas are covered by Verizon's 4G LTE. The carrier plans to expand throughout 2012 and 2013.

We haven't yet tested U.S. Cellular's 4G network, and the carrier isn't quoting speeds publicly. We're expecting fast LTE speeds like the ones we've seen on Verizon, as opposed to the more-like-3G speeds on MetroPCS, because of U.S. Cellular's comfortable spectrum position. That can mean average download speeds around 9.5Mbps, like we saw in our?Fastest Mobile Networks tests.?

4G plans for the Aviator cost the same as 3G plans for U.S. Cellular's other devices; that's a good thing. You can get 450 minutes of voice calls, unlimited texting, and 5GB of 4G data for $79.99 per month. That same plan on Verizon costs $89.99 per month, and you only get 2GB of data (or 4GB, for a limited time). An additional $25 per month allows you to use the Aviator as a mobile hotspot, and share its 4G connection with other devices, like a laptop or tablet, though you're pooling from the same 5GB of data.
