Deciding to lose weight, and you search for a diet plan to buy online? Before going anywhere, read this article first.

Do not start searching before you define the goal of your diet. If you start searching blindly, you will be excited by will written messages, telling you that you will lose specified amount of pounds in the next, month, week, or 3 days! but what then?


You suffer the impact of your extra weight on your health and on your shape. You should know that gaining excess weight is a mark that your metabolism and your life style are on different tracks.

To prevent a wrong message that may penetrate your subconscious, you should avoid these mistakes:




1- Not recognizing the principles of weight loss

The classic view of calories is a bit changed now to consider source of calories rather than their number, in other words "not all calories are created equal". The balance of calories-in and calories-out is still applicable, but calories from food that builds muscles is different from calories
from food that help store fat.


The source of calories effect is obvious when the metabolism is changed, for example; in the growth stage the source of calories does not matter that much, since all the body activities are directed to building, but when growth has stoped, there is no gross building and any extra energy is stored as fat, and among the factors that facilitate this process are food types.


You have to change your eating habits to cope with your new metabolism pattern. To lose any excess deposited fat, you should change types of food you eat without restrictions of its amount.



2- Not Knowing how to maintain your optimal Weight

Be assured that any diet plan will shed pounds of your weight, the first days or weeks you use them. There are many ways to do that. Nevertheless, the problem which faces dieters is the maintenance of the acquired weight.

Most of the diet programs adopt strange ways to force your body to lose weight. They either starve your body, ban whole categories of food, introduce foreign materials that affect your metabolism, or put your body on an unsatisfying style of tasteless foods, or strenuous exercise, or both.

Your diet plan should let you eat your favorite way keeping you full and satisfied. It may discriminate some foods but should not restrict your whole life.



3- Not sneaking Your diet Plan

A diet designer should let you taste how his plan looks like. He should have been brought you something new as a new diet, and you should know what is this new diet about.

Testimonials are not enough because as said earlier, every diet plan will reduce weight for sometime. You should ensure that the concept will cause a permanent weight loss. An audio-visual support is better, but at least you should know something from inside the program.

It is the processing of fats and not their type that may predispose our hearts to disease.

The Diet Solution Program is a rocketing diet program that utilized this fact to recommend, that you include meals that contain saturated fats like butter, eggs, coconut oil, lean meat ....etc to lose weight.

Cottonseed for Cancer

No, it is not the whole cottonseed, it is a purified derivative of its extract called Gossypol. When this compound was tested against human prostate cancer in mice, the cancer was completely wiped out.

Cancer cells express proteins to resist chemotherapy and radiation, so that it can prevent cell death (apoptosis). There are 6 varieties of these anti-apoptotic proteins and they are expressed differently in different cancers. Targeting the right one protein may not be enough to kill cancer cells, as they often express more than one and can select for an "escape" protein and continue to prosper.

The new compound inhibits all six anti-apoptotic proteins. Its broad spectrum activity could make current cancer treatment more effective by preparing malignant cells to die.

Eating Nuts Associated with Improvements in Cholesterol Levels

Nuts are Alternative to Mediterranian Diet

Consuming more nuts appears to be associated with improvements in blood cholesterol levels.
According to the pooled analysis of 25 trials, participants who consumed an average of 67 grams (about 2.4 ounces) of nuts per day, were found to have an average 5.1 percent reduction in total cholesterol concentration, a 7.4 percent reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad" cholesterol) and an 8.3 percent change in ratio of LDL cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good" cholesterol). In addition, triglyceride levels declined by 10.2 percent among individuals with high triglyceride levels (at least 150 milligrams per deciliter), although not among those with lower levels.

the lipid-lowering effects of nut consumption were greatest among subjects with high baseline LDL-C and with low body mass index and among those consuming Western diets.

Flaxseed and Ovarian Cancer Prognosis

Flaxseed-fed chickens shed light on ovarian cancer
It has been recently discovered that a diet enriched with flaxseed decreases severity of ovarian cancer and increases survival in hens.

Janice Bahr, a professor emerita in the U of I Department of Animal Sciences said "In hens fed flaxseed, we found that more tumors were confined to the ovary and they had less metastatic spread,".
She added "This is an important finding as the metastases that accompany late-stage ovarian cancer are the main cause of death from this disease. If the cancer is found at an early stage, when the tumor is still confined to the ovary, women have a much better prognosis and more treatment options."

2-year-old laying hens (hens that have ovulated as many times as a woman entering menopause) were submitted to the clinical trial, since "The chicken is the only animal that spontaneously develops ovarian cancer on the surface of the ovaries like humans" according to Professor Bahr.

It is thought that inflammation associated with continuous ovulation leaves ovarian surface epithelial cells susceptible to malignant transformation. The observation that egg-laying domestic hens frequently develop ovarian cancer supports this hypothesis.

According to Bahr, 25,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year and 15,000 die. The incidences of death in other cancers have dropped recently, but ovarian cancer death rates have remained the same.
