Elodie.Landerson reacted to 2muchfun in Whats The Green Zone?
It's when you have the right amount of restriction, you're satisfied with less food(1 cup) and aren't hungry between meals.
Watch this video. Watch it all but if you want to just know about the green zone, go to 5:40 minutes into the video. I'd recommend watching all 4 videos.

Elodie.Landerson reacted to FLORIDAYS in How Much Water Should You Drink Every Day?
Substitute fruit for Water? Now there is a new one..the average calories in a piece of fruit is around 100...and full of sugar. Granted its the good kind but still.
How much fruit would we need to eat if we weren't drinking Water?

I'm with Floridays! Plus I was told to drink fruit juice occasionally and to mix it 50/50 with Water b/c of sugar content.
I choose not to drink fruit juice at all and sticking with water.

Drink Water when your thirsty and drink as much as you feel you need. Your body knows when it needs to be replinished and will let you know.

I drink two litres per day (8 glasses) more in hot weather. I have a pop top type bottle that is a permanent attachment now and take it everywhere.

I'm not sure if I'd do the fruit but I have heard of it from my daughter's pediatrician. Fruit does help hydrate because of the high Water content. When my daughter was a toddler she did not drink more than a few oz a day total (of anything). She would get dehydrated and end up in the hospital- especially if she was sick the dehydration would kick in quicker. We were told if she likes to eat fresh fruit, encourage it as has a lot of water and will help keep her hydrated. It really did help hydrate her. Of course we were not worried about calories or sugar but about getting her hydrated to help digestion problems, tiredness and IVs to rehydrate.

Why do we eat? The most basic reason is hunger, however with the growing rate of obesity this shows us that people eat for more reasons than just hunger. People eat out of boredom, loneliness, hunger, or deprivation. All of which can lead to excessive overeating and added weight gain. By choosing the right foods to eat when you are actually hungry you can limit cravings to eat for these other reasons. Superfoods contain essential nutrients that the body needs to properly function. When the body is functioning optimally it will speed up your metabolism, boosting calorie burning, making it easier to lose weight. Superfoods contain Fiber, Protein, Vitamins, and minerals, which play a role in how your body responds to calorie absorption and fat cells. Superfoods tend to be lower in calories and take the body longer to digest. This leaves you feeling fuller for longer, giving you less reasons to eat unneeded calories. They also provide the body with a steady flow of energy, keeping the metabolism working to burn more calories. By adding these foods into your Breakfast, lunch, dinner and Snacks you can lose weight and feel great.
-Apples- Apples are great for weight loss. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Apples are low in calories, low in sodium and high in fiber, which keeps the body feeling full while providing a stable source of energy.
-Lentils- These small legumes pack a real big punch against weight gain. Lentils are high in folic acid, Iron, magnesium, fiber and protein. Lentils also contain resistant starch which shrinks fat cells; smaller fat cells means less fat.
-Eggs- Although most people only eat them for breakfast, eggs are a great food for weight loss. High in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and Proteins, eggs help to build muscle, which in turn helps to burn fat.
-Yogurt- Yogurt is a healthy combination of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This combination staves off hunger by keeping blood sugar levels steady. Yogurt also contains a healthy dose of Calcium. Calcium signals fat cells to stop pumping out cortisol.
-Sweet Potatoes- Sweet potatoes unlike most other vegetables are higher in calorie content but are worth all of them. Sweet potatoes contain resistant starch, which produces compounds to signal to the brain to stop eating. The bulk in sweet potatoes fills the stomach so you feel full. Carotenoids in sweet potatoes stabilize blood sugar levels and lowers insulin resistance.
Kiwi- Although peculiar in size, shape, color and taste, this small fruit is loaded with nutrients. Kiwis are high in fiber, both soluble and insoluble, low in calories and high in Vitamin C.< /span>
