Turkey for Thanksgiving is a tradition that goes way back and we cannot ignore it.

Moreover, this is probably one of the healthiest dishes served on this occasion, so we must have it.

Many of us take a day off from our weight loss diet on Thanksgiving and enjoy a little bit of each of dishes on the table.

But what should we do with the leftovers?

Should we go back to our diet right the next day? No, this is not necessary. Thanksgiving turkey leftovers can be very healthy if eaten the right way.

Wanting to help someone you love lose weight can be quite difficult sometimes.

People usually choose to do this in two extreme ways.

They are either too ‘soft’ or too ‘hard’ on the one who needs help.

Neither of the two options seems to be too efficient.

Moreover, they might end up doing more harm than good.

The too soft option might be inefficient because the one who needs to lose weight doesn’t always get the message. If he does get that he needs to lose weight he might think that the issue is not that stringent and might (more…)

I’ve stumbled upon some studies which point out that some of ours habits make us eat more that we need, consequently making us gain weight:

1. Listening to music while eating

Music may be good for us while working out, but the effect is reversed when eating. It seems that listening to music when you have your meal leads to higher food intake. So, make sure you analyze your eating habits in (more…)

Have you ever found yourself at difficulty establishing when dieting is enough and you should get back to your regular lifestyle?

So, many choose to stay on the diet indefinitely. However, you do need to stop dieting when the following signs appear:

It’s already six months since you’ve started your diet

Why should you stop after six months? Scientists claim that any (more…)

An important part of any diet or weight loss program is detoxifying your organism.

This can be done in several ways – one of them being the sauna.

I’ve tried several times, but I cannot say I’m completely convinced about the benefits it brings, at least in that which weight loss wonders.

So, I’ve tried to find out more. At a first glance, it appears that sauna may help you lose a few pounds.

This might be too good to be true: you just sit in a little, very hot room and you lose weight! As good as that may sound, it is not entirely accurate. Sweating in the sauna may help you take a few pounds down due to (more…)

From time to time I indulge myself with something sweet, with a slice of pizza or something I know is not really healthy for my diet.

I feel great and my taste buds are simply delighted.

What follows next is not something I am really proud of.

I feel guilty even though I know it is only natural to crave for something delicious with more calories than my regular foods.

This made me wonder how I can deal with the guilt and turn it into something productive. Here are some of the techniques I came up with:

1. Stop before it becomes too much.

I think that I would feel better if I did this only from time to time. If I (more…)

I’m sure you already know it’s good for your diet to avoid deep fried foods or pizza, even thou they taste delicious.

But did you know another good reason you should avoid them is because they can make you suffer from acid reflux?

Your diet has a lot to do with causing acid reflux and if you have had that burning sensation in your throat or a piercing pain right under your chest bone, wondering if it was a heart attack, then you know how severe a problem acid reflux can be!

What actually happens is that when we eat, the stomach releases (more…)
