Especially in recent years has developed a new fashion: that of high-protein diets , when followed only by sportsmen and athletes, but, today, have been cleared for those who follow a mostly sedentary life. This is a diet based mainly on the intake of protein and vegetables, often regarded as a forerunner to a life full of health, wellness and beauty .

But it is a truly viable way and that can lead to certain results? First you must know that man, like the rest of the animal beings, need to take protein essential for their bodies, since the human body is constantly renewing and every day the cells that compose it, and continue to destroy rebuilding. This is possible due to the fact that proteins are formed by a series of “bricks” molecules called amino acids that are in other words they are linked together according to specific instructions that are dictated by the DNA . They are, therefore, the proteins that enable the continuous regeneration of cells through these ties by which they are set. Specifically, the protein should never be absent from the food we put on the table because if the body were missing a few amino acids or structures would create weaker the body would suffer. And ‘therefore very important to always be “well supplied” protein so you do not take that risk. Protein is also essential because they produce hormones, antibodies and other elements and substances used bodies for “exchange messages” to each other.

So far, therefore, the high-protein diet seems to be the ideal diet, and certainly more beneficial to lose weight, but then it seems that it was a discovery of recent years? Simply because a diet based solely on proteins and excludes other factors, such as carbohydrates, may not be as healthy as you think. Err on the proteins, in fact, can often be more harmful than use too fat. “Wrap” of proteins, in fact, can lead to consequences that are often “hidden” that are seen to a lesser extent than the possible implications of a diet based on fat.

Completely removing carbohydrates, in fact, is even less nitrogen that is fuel for our body alive, we can also get it from protein, but is a little ‘how to give the bottom of the last reserves of the organism. In addition, the disposal of nitrogen produced by the protein is much harder for the liver and kidneys can also be compromised by such an activity that is protracted over time.

But never fear: a diet of protein you can and can not lead to any harm in, just simply follow several precautions during the time when you just assimilate protein. These precautions could be: drink plenty of water during the day, not just during meals and at least 1.5 to 2 liters, and rotate the intake of foods rich in protein with vegetables and other foods. It ‘, however, totally not recommended for people who suffer from liver or kidney pain and diseases related to these body parts such as liver failure, hepatitis, nephritis, and gout.

But how can you lose with a type of diet of this kind? With a proper diet is based solely on the assumption of proteins can lose up to 1.5 kg per week and therefore 6 pounds in one month. For the best and most careful you can also reach to 10 pounds. This excellent result can be obtained by assuming a protein of 250 grams of protein, approximately, and 300 grams of vegetables for every meal, except for once a week where you can take on larger carbohydrates or other elements, in order not to have kidney damage, as already explained.

What other results can be obtained with a high protein diet? Apart from a considerable weight reduction diet based on proteins can be very useful for streamlining, specifically, belly and hips. These two parts of the body, in fact, are the most “hit” from fat, and we often find, especially at times when you want to look thinner, as the summer, to want to throw away those extra pounds that have already settled in those points. The only protein-based diet, therefore, can be a very good starting point to thin out their line at these points and not even too many sacrifices. The protein diet is, in fact, considered as an effective way to lose pounds in a selective manner, by identifying precisely which areas of the body to intervene through precise and balanced diet.

Regarding the first problem, what would those old managed to slim down a lot, it seems that the main victims of this process are women and that the point of the body where this sudden loss of youth is the face.

When taking this mechanism? If you do not want to grow old suddenly has to try to lose less than five pounds: it seems, in fact, precisely the threshold above which women suddenly develop a more marked than their age peers who have not lost weight. To be precise, the skin looks older than four years compared to the period before the weight loss. If you’re wondering who has been to develop this particular theory, then you know that what has been said so far has been studied and confirmed by the analysis conducted by researchers at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland (Ohio), the group published the results of this research journal Plastic and Reconstructive Journal.

But how was it possible to get similar results? Simply looking at roughly 200 copies of twins and their body mass index ( BMI ) over a period of time that lasted about 2 years. At this time, specifically, all the components, mostly women, each pair of twins followed a diet very different between them. One twin was left free to follow their normal diet, while the other brother or sister was put on a diet until they reach a body mass index of four points lower than the family did not follow any diet.

Well the results and analysis of all bodies of the twins have shown that the brother who did not follow any diet was significantly and visibly younger than the twins put in the diet and with four points lower BMI. In particular, all women who have reduced their body mass index, which at the time of the study had more or less every 40 years, showed four years longer than non-twins diet. The aging was found mainly in the facial wrinkles through special extras after the diet.

But why has this happened? Experts have theorized that when you lose weight, weight loss is all about the body including the face of mass emptying should be to “discover” the older areas of the skin . The same study, to add another little curiosity, was carried out on other people considering their affective state. Divorced persons were older than married or single.

Losing weight is, however, a healthy practice that must be performed during periods of life in which he most needs and linking this action to a proper diet and a healthy lifestyle, because, otherwise, you may run into the opposite problem than hitherto described, ie where it is aging that leads to weight gain.

This problem is definitely an issue that so many know and few will marvel at the statement that best goes with age and the more you can gain weight. This is because usually, especially in Western populations, the more you “grow” old and becomes more or proceed to the elderly and the less you do physical activity . Life becomes much more sedentary and physical also an issue for those who make sport late in life tend to make fewer movements than when they were younger.

So the requirement of calories needed to maintain their body does not diminish, but not decreases, often, the contribution of these you do is much greater.

To translate a few words eats much more than you burn when you are older. At 65, for example, there is a need for 20% less calories than when you have 25 years.

Only one is, of course, to eat in the prosthesis and the same, if not more, and, therefore, tend to gain weight or accumulate pounds over time. Obviously this is not a rule but a hypothesis that may occur or not. The tendency to gain weight, in fact, is something that only the DNA of each of us can explain and that, therefore, depends very much on the metabolism of each person . This, in fact, is highly variable from person to person and is very decisive when related to the quality of food consumed.

Each person then needs a quantity of food necessary for sustenance, different from any other human being and that’s because everyone has a metabolism that goes to a different speed. If it is slow is better to refrain in appetite while those lucky enough to have a fast metabolism and eat more calories in a short time can be contained to a lesser extent in the eating. With advancing age there is also a natural slowing of metabolism and also why it is not always better stuffs himself with anti after a certain age, though in reality it is always better to eat a regular at any age.

Another cause, in fact, which can cause hunger even without an empty stomach and stress. Having too many commitments or lead a hectic life and often governed by hunger would, in fact, increases stress and causes the discharge of dopamine , which promotes the birth of the very anxious feelings of hunger in the body.

But what are the foods that we ingest more and more increases our sense of hunger? Well yes, there are certain foods that despite being rich in nutrients, however, fail to satisfy the body. How can such a thing happen? The main cause is that when a particular substance is not produced may require the body to take certain foods in order to address the lack of this element is called serotonin , which is also mainly responsible for the onset of satiety. Serotonin, in fact, to be produced needs carbohydrates and sugary foods: those people who have low levels of serotonin in the body is normal to have instinctively attacks of hunger and desire to take a lot of pasta and desserts in order to produce the substance necessary to satisfy their wants. So pasta and desserts are the perfect and ideal to fight hunger, but sin is a contraindication that few can bear: the fat.

And ‘therefore impossible to eliminate all sugars and sweets from your diet worth the exponential growth of the sense of hunger, but, unfortunately, taking these two drugs have “side effects” that can also prevent us from staying on the line. Chief among these effects is the slowing of metabolism , in particular those who take a lot of carbohydrates and sugars tend to make many little physical activity and absorption of substances that make you fat, then it is much faster.

Tiredness and listlessness are, therefore, the palpable consequences that are felt in a regime of taking very high in carbohydrates and sugars. Another effect is the dependence: even though the carbohydrate satiate my hunger produce some substances, endorphins, the body that arouse pleasant feelings of well being that can become a real drug to the body, causing a serious addiction. The desire for carbohydrate-rich substances, but also sugar, it becomes almost unstoppable and uncontrollable, but leads in the long run, in a great psychological suffering with feelings of anxiety and insomnia.

And the latter problem causes another major problem that can further compromise our line: the problem dell’abbuffata night. Yes, because too much intake of these foods can cause a satisfaction, as it were, threatening to cause serious problems, as well as your fitness level, even with the power. So even though carbohydrates causes satiety due to endorphins addiction means that you are looking increasingly taking these substances. Recruiting in the right measure is the ideal solution.

Although sugar is a major player in the life of each one of us. Memory, clarity and proper functioning of brain cells are some of the main positive features that make the human body sugars.

Even sugar, however, highly addictive and can cause attacks and greedy desires to ingest large quantities of sweets of all kinds and types. Even the absence of sugars, however, the body can cause problems as hypoglycemia that results in a very low rate of glucose in the blood. In addition to pathological diseases, however, the need sugar problems can be caused by an emotional or affective: deficiencies in these important spheres of life, indeed, can cause an urgent need to consume sugar. Loneliness, stress, depression may, in fact, find relief and solace in taking sugars.

Sweets help to keep your weight under control, in practice help us to better manage the daily caloric intake because sometimes assuming a fools the brain, and if, instead, eat a sandwich that we eat a candy seems obvious that the result will be a substantial weight loss.
The gum is a ‘good technique to keep your mouth busy and do not even think of what to put in their mouths. In addition, whenever we chew something, our brain receives the nutrition that communicates to our digestive system that we are eating and then starts the digestive process that takes us within 15/20 minutes to reach the fullness without having eaten anything. Many people chew gum obtained excellent results in terms of weight, but not as good in terms of health, in fact, using the gum almost as a substitute for food leads to malnutrition in the absence of the main nutrients: protein, carbohydrates and lipids.

In London are investigating a chewing gum containing the ‘hormone PP (pancreatic polypeptide) capable of being able to block and inhibit our appetite, and in Italy there are only sugar-free gum containing chromium and green tea extracts (the chromium promotes the metabolism of sugars , while the green tea is well known for its draining properties and antioxidants, which among other things, fight free radicals), which helps the metabolism to burn fat.
Those who have given life to this experiment, in short, who have discovered this peculiarity very interesting for lovers of candy, have indicated that eating sweets in the normal way does not make you fat.
But what also contributes to the increase in weight is taking more calories than you consume. The problem then is always due to physical activity : if a person eats candy or sweets every day do not get fat if he can obviously not to overdo it in quantity, but above all the calories consumed later.

A sweet in itself does not make you fat, but then everything that you eat later that inevitably increases our weight. Beware though, this does not give you the freedom to binge every day of chocolate or candy, eat them all right, but always in reduced form. As in all things is the exaggeration which then results in problems. Eat sweets in moderation, as long facades and physical activity .
What lends credence to this little “discovery” is that always the candy and sweets in general are strictly prohibited in any diet containing calories because these “useless” because they do not bring any benefit to our body or nutritional. Here in this regard were born light or sugar-free candies that help people to satisfy greedy pleasure without affecting body weight. For those people who love sweets and want to try to have them so that in addition to eating the candy you can do with much more confidence, knowing what is in the candy you eat the more willingly. Here is the recipe for marshmallows:

Ingredients
200 grams of grape sugar (or sweetener diet)
2 tablespoons lemon juice, lime, strawberries, oranges, etc. (preferably lemon)
10 tablespoons of a fruit juice (to your liking based on what you prefer)
1 package of gelatin (12 g in total)
Let the gelatine to soak for 10 minutes, pour into a saucepan the sugar (or sweetener, for those on a diet) with 2 tablespoons lemon juice 10 tablespoons of fruit (pineapple, orange, strawberry, etc.) bring to a boil on the stove, leaving the mixture for 5 minutes. We remove the saucepan from the heat and add the gelatin, stirring until well wrung completely dissolved. With a teaspoon take the mixture and fill the molds simple, round or square-shaped or wedge. Put the mold in the fridge for a couple of hours.

We said then that there is a candy that makes losing weight, but only that chewing a candy often we tend to eat less when you are at the table. This fact does not make candy a remedy against obesity.

There is, however, a gum that comes from America and that promises amazing results for our waistlines. We understand that it is set, it is a simple chewing gum that makes you lose the sense of hunger just as they did to that used for smoking cessation. The chewing and thereby enables the function that clears in a few minutes the hungry.
Well it is no longer a mystery that the weight loss business is an industry that knows no crisis, and for this reason, the industries are always looking for new revolutionary products that seek to meet the needs of new shortcuts to fool the body and bring to weight loss fast, safe and without too many sacrifices. The slimming chewing gum, however, are a real drug because it contains a hormone (PYY) are able to liberate others of the same body type that appease hunger.
This hormone to vitamin B12 flanked remains active even when it arrives in the stomach without being destroyed, and spoil its effect. In fact remained intact (thanks to vitamin) can produce this hormone and other hormones reach the intestines where the substances are absorbed. The drug must be taken after a normal meal, and provoke the anti-hunger after about 3-4 hours and then by getting the person to the next meal already with a sense of fullness with a consequent reduction in food intake.

Proteins: the building blocks of the body

Proteins are the main constituents of the tissues, skin, muscles, internal organs, blood, bones, as well as antibodies, hormones and enzymes, are all made of protein, combined with other substances. That’s why these important nutrients are called “bricks” the body.

Many of the people who skip breakfast, they do believe that it serves to lose weight. WRONG!
