Guide to Measuring Your Inches Lost During Weight Loss

Posted on September 18, 2017 by Evangeline Thomas

Measuring your inches lost is a great way to complement the numbers you see on the bathroom scale to help to gauge your progress. After all, your scale can’t tell where the weight is coming from. Therefore, if you build muscle while you lose fat, you may not see any progress, or it may even look as though you’re gaining weight for a while.

Therefore, measuring your inches lost helps to give you more insight into what is really happening with your body. Ideally, if you take your measurements before even getting started, you can create a baseline that will tell you how far you’ve come right from the start. Keep a paper or digital notebook with regular measurements. Continue reading →

Why Skipping Meals Kills Your Metabolism and Stalls Weight Loss

Posted on September 18, 2017 by Evangeline Thomas

When you want to lose weight as quickly as you can, it seems reasonable to start skipping meals and exercising as much as you can to try to force your body to burn stored fat. In fact, this is among the most common strategies that beginner dieters will attempt in order to shed those pounds. Unfortunately, if that type of strategy isn’t taken on with a very high knowledge of the metabolism, it can actually make your weight loss efforts much harder, not easier.

The reason is that skipping meals without the proper balance of nutrition and fitness can actually slow down your metabolism. This places your body in what is often called “starvation mode.” Your body registers that you’re not eating, so it starts saving the energy it would otherwise receive from food by reducing the rate at which it burns calories and fats.

This process differs from the process of making other types of tea such as black tea or oolong, which require a certain amount of fermentation. That said, this method also makes it possible to keep polyphenols – important chemicals that produce certain wanted benefits – intact. Continue reading →

Posted on July 20, 2017 by Evangeline Thomas

Unlike when a child is much older, a baby’s healthy eating habits are entirely dependent on the person who feeds him or her.

Therefore, if you want your son or daughter to consume only the most healthful options, then those are the choices you’ll need to make on his or her behalf.

At the same time, it’s important to recognize that a baby’s healthy eating habits don’t stop there.
