10 Tips for success of weight loss

 Weight loss tip 1:

Decide how much weight you need to lose - Most people start their weight loss journey by claiming to be xyz kilos overweight. This isn't a healthy way to project or aim for weight loss. Calculate your desired weight against your height by using reliable methods like the BMI, and set a healthy weight loss target. This is often half the battle won.



Weight loss tip 2:

Time management - This is quite often overlooked. Decide which part of your day will be dedicated to exercise, when in the week you will stock up on groceries, and when you will do the cooking - all within your current work and home life routine. If you don't do this now, your days will be rushed and unplanned, and you won't be able to sustain your weight loss efforts.

Weight loss tip 3:

Stock your kitchen - Keep your house well-stocked with fruits, vegetables, healthy meats, grains, cereals, spices, and flavourers. Follow our tricks to healthy cooking, cooking vegetables for the week, and low-fat cooking posts to understand how best you can stock your kitchen with healthy and delicious ingredients. All of this will go into helping the next step - cooking healthy meals at home.

Weight loss tip 4:

Eat healthy homecooked meals - Whether it's you who's cooking, a family member, or house help, ensure that every one practises healthy cooking methods, and ingredients. Ask any person who's lost weight the healthy way, and you will always hear about how healthy homecooked meals were a big reason behind it. Use less oil, low salt, fresh produce, and you'll start seeing results in no time.

Weight loss tip 5 :

Start a cardio + weights workout - A healthy weight loss programme is incomplete without a good exercise routine, and weight training mixed with cardio is the best way to lose weight. Of course, variations and forms exist, but any workout that stresses on muscle tone and increased heart rate will always help you lose weight and keep it off. You can either start a home workout today, or rely on gyms for fitness training.

Weight loss tip 6:

Alter your snacking habits - At Health Me Up, we have several healthy snacking ideas for you. Set those French fries aside, skip that aerated drink, and ban those unhealthy deep fried samosas. Explore the healthy snack world and you will find several appetisers, party snacks, movie snacks and meal accompaniments that'll satisfy every craving of yours.

Weight loss tip 7:

Have at least one active hobby - It isn't sufficient to rely on just 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Moving from bed to office chair, and back to bed, isn't a healthy way to live. Buy a motion sensor gaming console that lets you enjoy social games with friends and family, plan weekend trips, clean your house once a week, dance, play sports, the list is endless. Get out of the coffee shop and dining table rut, and you'll have fun along with the healthy weight loss.

Weight loss tip 8:

Find a solution to combat stress - As we pointed out in our post about stress and weight loss, stress is always detrimental to healthy weight loss in the long run. Find ways to combat stress and you'll soon realise that your diet and exercise aren't sabotaged anymore, and that you truly do see results. Look at yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or simple hobbies like reading to fight stress.

Weight loss tip 9:

Drink plenty of water - You've known that your body relies heavily on water for all important bodily functions, and yet you skimp on drinking adequate quantities of water every day. Well, it's time to stop that. Check out some exciting ways to make water interesting and you'll be packing it away in no time. Do not forget to carry a water bottle to your workout, and take a few sips after every 2-3 minutes of exercise.

Weight loss tip 10:

Plan healthy vacations - Why go all the way with healthy weight loss, when one tiny vacation will just come along and topple it all? Healthy vacations aren't impossible. Take a look at how you can eat smart on a holiday, and then at bodyweight workouts that you can carry with you wherever you go, to understand how to holiday right. Above all, remember that these are lifelong habits that'll help you stay fit forever and not short term weight loss quickfixes.

Nater's Kabobbers

Think light, summer and healthy for dinner tonight!  Kabobs are so easy, just throw chicken, beef, or shrimp on skewers with your favorite veggies.  My favorite veggies include; any peppers, pineapple, red onion, and squash.  I go for variety and color too ;)

Season to your taste, I like sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and tried saffron this last time.  I use metal skewers to cook chicken inside.   If you use wood skewers, soak in water 15 minutes before had so they don't ignite.  Cook on grill with medium grill heat till chicken and shrimp are cooked through, or beef to your specific liking.  

Nater's Summer Salad consists of one fork-scrapped cucumber, three medium tomatoes, about 12 chopped fresh basil leaves, one-third a purple onion, and toss with extra virgin olive  oil, salt, and pepper.  Oil can be substituted with white wine vinegar for a kick! 

Please share on Facebook, Pinterest, Google Plus, and with your friends, I greatly appreciate it!  Serve with a light fresh lemonade with mint... bon appetit mes amis ;)

The definition about "Health & Fitness"

 The most widely accepted definition of good health is that of the World Health Organization Constitution. It states: "health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and is not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (World Health Organization, 1946). In more recent years, this statement has been amplified to include the ability to lead a "socially and economically productive life". 

The WHO definition is not without criticism mainly that it is much too broad.

The most solid aspects of wellness that fit firmly in the realm of medicine are environmental health, nutrition, disease prevention, and public health. These matters can be investigated at length and can assist in measuring well-being.

Nater's Leeky Tomato Penne Perfection

Nater's Leeky Tomato Penne Perfection

This is a brand new repipe that I whipped up yesterday for the first time!  It certainly looks good, but the smell is absolutely awesome and the taste is even better, all the infused garlic, thyme, not to mention the BACON!  Kevin would be proud.  This dish is good enough you'll go footloose... and hang up those Sunday shoes.

Here's what you need if you wanna play:

Pepper & Sea Salt

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 chopped Garlic cloves

2 tablespoons fresh chopped thyme (1/3 amount if dried)

12 ounces of smoked LEAN bacon (3/4 pound)

Two pints of cherry or grape tomatoes

3 large leeks or 4 medium leeks

1 pound dry whole wheat penne

2 large chicken boobs (breasts)

1/2 White Cooking Wine or chicken stock 

Grated Pecorino Romano cheese, or flakey Parmesan as substitute

Prepare the leeks ahead by cutting off the dark green leafy top and the base with the roots, then halved the leeks lengthwise, and sliced to 1-inch thick pieces.  Washie-wash and dry the leeky leeks.  Good time to wash the towMATERs too.  Then throw on a large pot of water to start boiling for the penne while we start the rest.  

Throw two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to a deep medium skillet over medium high heat.  Add the bacon (trimming big chunks of fat) and crisp in oil.  Once bacon is crisp then add the leeks, chopped garlic, thyme, and generous pepper.  If I could save 'Thyme' in a bottle, the first thing that I'd like to do....  is sauté for 5-6 minutes.  

After you have sautéed, then deglaze the pan with the wine (or chicken stock).  Add the tomatoes and cover the pan. Staying on medium high heat, cook the tomatoes until they burst, 10-12 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally.  The tomatoes will burst open in the covered heat, you can gently pop tomatoes if they don't after the 12 minutes.  But don't squish too much, as they will squish more when you stir in pasta and cheese.  Don't make this dish ugly, you know better.  You are what you eat... so make it look sexy.
Generously add sea salt to the boiling water and cook the wheat penne to al dente (slightly firm).  Add a little of the starchy cooking water (quarter cup) to the sauce just before draining the pasta.  Drain, and toss the pasta with the sauce and cheese.  

If you want to add chicken, (as a bodybuilder I eat a lot of chicken boobs), just cook chicken in oven separately while you prepare the entrée.  Keep that protein high!  Drizzle raw chicken with a little extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper.  Cover with foil and back at 325 degrees for 45 minutes (350 for 30 minutes if you're impatient), then slice and top on pasta!  Slow cooking this way makes it taste like thanksgiving turkey.

Cook 'Nater's Leeky Tomato Penne Perfection' and share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus on the links below!  Or share this recipe from my Pinterest account 'NatersAdventure' and I will keep the recipes coming :)   Serves 4, high in protein with added chicken, and good carbs and fats to keep the summer waistline in check!
