Here are 15 ways to increase the body’s fat burning process, except your regular exercises.

1. Reduce your calorie intake with 10%-15%

The formula is simple, you eat less = you weight less, but be careful and don’t exaggerate! (more…)

How calories work?

I have briefly talked about how calories work and what’s the chemistry behind losing weight, but some of you asked me to try to explain it in another way.

This is simply mathematics. One kilogram (2 pounds) of fat is 7000 calories and according to the First Law of Thermodynamics, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another. This means that you have to find a way to transform the 7000 calories (more…)

Many though of using the energy produced in fitness centers, but a few have done it. California Fitness Gym from Hong Kong is the first gym that actually stores and uses the energy.

The California Fitness Gym is more efficient and it is reducing the impact on the environment by using the energy created during the exercises into light and heat.

The consoles of the exercise machines themselves were already powered by human energy. But about 90 percent of the energy produced during workouts was dissipated as heat. (more…)

Fluid retention is a condition that is experienced both by men and women. The cause of bloating may be the result of diet, or may result from a medical condition.

Fluid retention occurs when water accumulates in the body.

Cholesterol is not a fat. It is a waxy, fat-like substance produced by all animals, including humans. Cholesterol is needed for many bodily functions and serves to insulate nerve fibers, maintain cell walls and produce vitamin D, various hormones and digestive juices. Cholesterol is produced by the liver.

There is a difference between dietary cholesterol (the cholesterol you consume in foods) and blood cholesterol (the cholesterol in your bloodstream, also called serum cholesterol).

Dietary cholesterol is present in varying amounts in some foods (more…)

Gastric Bypass Surgery is generally considered to be the best surgical procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity. Weight loss is achieved by reducing the functional portion of the stomach to a pouch the size of a golf ball and by creating a stoma, a small opening between the stomach and the intestine. This procedure is recommended only for patients with BMI above 35, just like for the intragastric balloon.

After the gastric bypass procedure, a small size of the stomach pouch causes the patient to have a sensation of fullness after eating only a small portion of food. The small stoma delays stomach emptying, making the sensation of fullness last longer. (more…)

A simple wrap can be a mixture of a clay and some natural sea salt. To the simple wrap you can add more complex ingredients such as herbs and up to 2 tablespoons of an essential oil.

• Herbs: Alfalfa Leaf Powder, Calendula Powder, Chamomile Flower Powder, Fennel Seed Powder, Ginger Root Powder, Lavender Buds Powder, Neem Powder, Parsley Powder, Rose Petal Powder, Rosehip Powder, St. Johns Wort; (more…)

Body wraps can aid in healing of skin problems, tone and tighten the skin, improve circulation, alleviate muscle and joint pain, treat acne, detoxify the body and help mobilize fat so it can be eliminated from the body naturally. The effect of the wrap is determined by the ingredients that you chose to use. In order to do the wrapping at home you only need a mixing bowl, heating pot, wrapping sheets and it is also helpful if you have an electric blanket.
