			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although all kinds of teas are good for human body, yet there are very few that help you in <a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/top-ten-weight-loss-facts/">losing weight</a>. The most common teas in this category are green tea, oolong tea, and Pu-erh Tea. While including these specialized teas in diet, it is important to consume them in right amount and way. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/tips-for-controlling-calorie-intake/">Green tea</a> gets recognized as metabolic stimulants that help human body to burn calories in a more efficient way. Green tea should be taken five cups a day. It should be made in water alone and can be taken with meals and snacks. It is a natural diet drink with just 4 calories in a cup in comparison to 40 times that of a diet soda. Green tea helps you grow more energetic and build stamina to work more. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/tips-on-creating-low-calorie-mouth-watering-salads/">Oolong Tea</a> is an oxidized form of green tea. It has got the capacity to stimulate metabolism and burning calories in most effective way. Regular consumption of Oolong tea strengthens digestive system and helps in losing excessive weight. It is through proper digestion that one can ingest important nutrients in the body and can expel unnecessary ones from the body. Oolong is an herbal drink that can boost excessive energy in<br />
the body. This tea gets recommended by most of the dieticians in the first few weeks of dieting. It aids your<br />
digestive system to adapt to the new diet program, and thus making the new diet more effective for your body. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/myths-related-to-weight-loss/">Pu-erh tea</a> is a medicinal tea found in China. It is a very effective tea used for losing weight in most of the countries of the word. As compared to green tea, Pu-reh gets more opt by the dieticians.</p>
<p>Green tea has got polyphenol levels for burning fats, whereas Pu-erh tea consists of polyphenols that helps in engaging metabolism more than what green tea does. Pu-erh tea is an antioxidant that helps in neutralizing free radicals and in reducing inflammation in the human body adding effective results to weight loss results. Thus, it is a well-established fact that all the above-mentioned teas are dieter&#8217;s favorite teas and help you increase metabolism and build resources to burn more calories and losing weight. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Surgical ways to <a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/top-ten-weight-loss-facts/">lose weight</a> are not only risky, but also are very painful. With the development of scientific procedures, physicians have introduced ‘Liposuction’ technique. This is the most practiced non-surgical mode for losing weight, and a common choice for all those, who want to lose weight instantly. Liposuction is a process with which you can lose weight without invasive surgeries or any kind of anesthesia. This process can make you lose 15 to 20 pounds. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/tips-on-creating-low-calorie-mouth-watering-salads/">Liposuction</a> is definitely a fruitful process for people, who want to regain their recent past figure. The non-surgical Liposuction gets performed either through laser treatment or by means of needles and injections. In the first process, the fat contents of the body are melted and taken out. It is a safer process and most of the people opt for it. In the second process, elements like enzymes, protein strains, and mild medications are injected in the body to flush off fats. The injections are used in the portions where the fat flush can take place naturally. </p>
<p>Many people opt for this when they want to get rid of their fat more instantly. The results of Liposuctions are instant and are very effective. The process is expensive and mostly preferred by people, who are into show business. Since being good looking is their primary criteria, Liposuction is the best possible solution for them. As the process resembles with face-lift mechanism, many celebrities consider it as the first choice. The process, however, recommends regular diet and exercises for long-term effects. After Liposuction, it is very necessary to follow strict diet and perform regular exercises, so that the effects remain. </p>
<p>It is important to note that Liposuction is for those people, who are in shape, and are not much away from their usual weight. On the other hand, it is a dangerous option for those, who are already having excessive weight for a long time or from childhood. There are many effective <a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/lose-weight/tips/tips-fast/tip-on-how-to-lose-weight-fast.php">ways to lose weight</a> and slower processes are better for people who are with excessive weights for a long time. </p>

<p><strong>Fact 6# Convenient way to Speed up Metabolism</strong><br />
Active metabolism helps in losing weight. It is not that hard to increase metabolism. Spices like red peppers and herbal teas like green tea can increase in active metabolism.</p>
<p><strong>Fact 7# Water Curbs Appetite</strong><br />
Drinking of water makes you understand the difference between being hungry and getting dehydrated and thus curbs in appetite of those things that can increase weight. </p>
<p><strong>Fact 8#Fiber helps in Weight Loss</strong><br />
Consumption of fibrous foods like fruits and vegetables helps in cutting of fats during the digestive process and thus supports weight loss. </p>
<p><strong>Fact 9# Fast Foods Increase Weight</strong><br />
Excessive and regular consumption of fast foods increase fat content in body. As they are usually deep-fried, they add more fats to your body.  </p>
<p><strong>Fact 10# Trousers Measures you Correct</strong><br />
As fats in human body tend to get stored in the waistline, your trousers are the best tools to check the fat content in your body. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/tips-on-losing-weight-after-pregnancy/">Losing weight</a> cannot be impossible for those, who are determined to follow strict program and will never compromise with it. The<br />
following weight loss program has been scheduled for 6 weeks; and can assure you with excessive <a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/tips-on-identifying-foods-with-antioxidants/">weight loss</a>, if followed in absolute way:</p>
<p><strong>Week 1 # </strong>In the first week, try to build an exercise program that can proportionate your physical capacity with the dedication capability.  These exercises must be inclusive of freestyle exercises, cardio workouts and some strength training modules. You can prefer to have alternate choices for each day in the first week. </p>
<p><strong>Week 2</strong># By second week, you should be capable enough to perform cardio workout for a span of 30-60 minutes long. Continue freestyles as per your choice. Your heart pumping must get a minimum 100 beats/min. For these movements you can include jumping jacks, boxing, kicks and most effective one, that is running in your routine. Please note to increase your water content simultaneously. </p>
<p><strong>Week 3 #</strong> In the 3rd week, all the strength-training exercises should be increased to 30-60 minutes. In the process, always use your torso, arms and legs on alternate basis. You can include 15 bicep curls by using hand weights, followed by 15 lunges and then 15 crunches. Rotations of core, arms and legs are very important in this week.</p>
<p><strong>Week 4# </strong>For many people, the 4th week can be of great difficulty. Those who are into the routine will start having body ache and various muscle pains. To prevent stress they can reduce the repetitions, yet are suggested not to give up the routine. This week is a kind of turning point for getting effective results.  	 </p>
<p><strong>Week 5#</strong> Continue with the schedule recommended for 3rd week. However, increase in the amount of weights that you are using. The weights should be heavy enough to allow you 15 repetitions and should be challenging your capacity to some extent. The weights should challenge your muscles and should compel our body to burn competitive amount of calories. </p>
<p><strong>Week 6 # </strong>In this week it is important to increase your work out intensity. You will start feeling less tired after the exercise session. You are suggested to add different kinds of aerobics along with selected maneuvers<br />
for better results. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The basic concept of <a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/tips-for-controlling-calorie-intake/">losing weight</a> is related to the process of burning calories. Many people think that by fasting, they can lose weight. As you stop taking your regular meals, the body starts reacting against it. The foremost thing that strikes your body is the slower movements rate of metabolism. Your body starts going into crisis mode. Instead of burning the calories, the body starts burning energy. It starts saving calories for future use. Therefore, the longer the fasting period is the more energy gets consumed. The metabolism goes slower and eventually you start feeling weak. </p>
<p>As you eat after a long fast, the food starts changing into fat, instead of energy. This is because it takes time for the metabolism to come in speed to digest the food. Metabolism helps in digestion, and when it is slow in pace, the food starts getting transformed in fat rather than getting absorbed in your body. The process of digestion burns calories and since it is inactive after long fast, the body starts changing the food into fat. In a way, it acts in an opposed manner of what you expected. </p>
<p>Due to this reason, no dietician ever suggests for <a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/tips-on-fast-weight-loss/">fasting to lose weight</a>. Our bodies need healthy fibrous food to digest. The more we take fibrous food and water, the more active the digestive system gets. This helps the body in burning calories in maximum possible way. Eating of healthy food and water within regular interval is the best possible solution to come in good shape. Addition of right kinds of exercises makes the task much faster and easier. </p>
<p>Your body needs food to turn them it into nutrients. Nutrients supply energy t the body and as a result, you tend to work harder. Drinking of water helps in transforming food into nutrients through digestive system. It is also very useful for burning calories from the body. If you eat right and drink well,  you will be burning more calories and will be gaining more nutrients. Generate the collected nutrients in exercises and you will get rapid results. To your astonishment, you will be losing a minimum of 5 to 6 pounds in a week. So do not starve. Eat and drink healthy and add exercises to lose weight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every mom knows the trouble of <a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/tips-on-identifying-foods-with-antioxidants/">losing weight after pregnancy</a> or after having a baby. During pregnancy, every woman increases her weight from 15 to 25 kilos. </p>
<p>Every inch of gained weight gets stored in the waistline. Later on, it is difficult to cut down the waist and come back to original shape.  Though just after childbirth, a woman can lose from 5 to 7 kilos, yet that is not enough to get fit into her old trousers. </p>
<p>The most important thing that a mom needs to understand is that, gaining of 15 to 25 kilos during pregnancy is a gradual process, and thus a gradual reduction of the same is very important.

However, she should be conscious enough with her activities within this span of time, so that she can cut down the extra baggage. </p>

However, With new responsibilities, it becomes hard to manage with some extra time for <a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/tips-on-fast-weight-loss/">exercise</a>, but if you really want to go back to a good shape, you must know to manage the same. Though the baby will keep you engaged in various tasks, yet you need to take out some time to exercise, as it will help you in losing faster. The initial 6 months are very vital and can give you effective results.</p>
<p>Breastfeeding is another activity that helps woman loses a lot after pregnancy. You need to eat good to breast feed the child. The more you feed the child, the more calories you burn. At the same time, the child, also get good adequate nourishment, that will help him throughout his life. Do not get apprehensive about breastfeeding. After six months, you will miraculously start losing your extra weight and with regular exercises, you can aim at better figure too. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People who look forward to lose weight are always trying to find ways to reduce their calorie intake. But they generally are not successful in weight loss, as generally the food low in calories is unfortunately also low in taste. Listed below are some points that can help you in your <a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/tips-on-creating-low-calorie-mouth-watering-salads/">weight control program</a> without compromising on taste.</p>
<p><strong>Cooking methods to cut calories</strong><br />
<strong>Steaming: </strong>When you steam your food, you do not need to use oil, as you cook the food by surrounding it with steam. The steam cooks the food, and there is no fat in steamed foods. Therefore, resulting in less calorie intake, and more weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Boiling: </strong>Boiling is a simple technique, though it is a bit inferior to steaming, as boiling drains away quite a lot of nutrients from the food, whereas steaming preserves them.</p>
<p><strong>Roasting: </strong>You can roast your food with the help of a hot air oven. Roasting will not only cut on calorie intake, but also make your food more delicious. You can use roasting to cook potatoes, chicken, tomatoes, cereals etc.</p>
<p><strong>Sautéing</strong>: This process makes use of fat, but only in very small amount. Generally vegetables are cooked this way. Commonly, capsicum, carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, noodles, and finely sliced meats are sautéed. </p>
<p><strong>Stewing: </strong>In stewing, you cook in a closed pan, so that the steam helps to tenderize the food. It also uses fat, but in minimal amounts, thus <a href="http://www.helensdiet.com/blog/aerobics-and-weight-loss/">reducing the calorie intake</a>.</p>
