During the day I experience more than once the need to eat.

But how many times a day do I really need to eat?

The pains of hunger have to be carefully distinguished from the stimuli tempting us to overeat.

People have a complex relationship with food. The need to eat can be both mandatory and voluntary. Most of the times, we tend to indulge and this is what causes us to become overweight.

With all the things we need to do during a normal day, I believe that we no longer understand what hunger is. Our relationship with food has changed, primarily because we have too many options and tempting products galore. That’s why you need to learn the main seven ways our body tricks (more…)

Everybody loves Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

But even though they are fun and enjoyable holidays, they are very tiring at the same time.

You eat and drink everything you like, you spend a lot of time searching for gifts and you spend time cooking for your loved ones.

Pull yourself together and start preparing yourself for some time of restoration by staying away from things you abused from.

It’s December and the chocolate products are plentiful.

We can even say that December is the month of chocolate, because it is a very accessible gift and we all know that ladies love chocolate.

More than twice as many women than men eat and crave chocolate.

Chocolate was considered from ancient times “food of the gods” or “drink of the gods” because it was originally prepared in a liquid state, being used in many ceremonies and considered sacred.

The Mayans are believed to have discovered drinking chocolate more than 2,000 years ago. Today Americans consume almost half of the (more…)

Each one of us has their own thoughts about food.

Some of us enjoys it while others feel guilty when eating something they think it’s prohibited.

Take for example a piece of cake.

Some people see it just as something that makes you fat while other people are enjoying every piece of it and considering it delightful. But that’s not all. More important is the fact that what we think about food has an influence on how we assimilate it and how we depose fats. Shortly, our thoughts influence our metabolic power.

Do you think that thoughts can’t be this powerful? Think about the time when you are at work, bored and tired, and you expect nothing than to (more…)

I’ve heard many of my friends saying that exercising vigorously makes them hungry.

However, this theory has been recently deemed as not entirely true.

In a recent research conducted at the Brigham Youth University by a series of world-class researchers, it has been shown that an exerciser’s motivation for food is actually decreased after a 45 minute moderate-to-vigorous workout. How is this possible? Here’s how.

The research was conducted on thirty five women who were shown a series of food pictures, both after a morning (more…)

Workout for a moment, feel better for hours.

After a good thirty-minute exercise, you’d probably experience better mood, says a study presented at the American College of Sports Medicine annual assembly.

The concept that exercise is good for mental health is not new.

The study conducted at the University of Vermont sheds more light on the benefits of physical activity on mental health. The research found (more…)
