11 Proven Weight Loss tips

To successfully reach and maintain your fat loss goals, it is important to have a sound, science-backed approach. Here are 11 fat loss tips pulled from research papers and tested in real gyms.

1. Eat More Protein
Protein is famous for its muscle building abilities but protein is also a key fat loss food. Protein helps you feel fuller longer. Eating more protein has been shown to cause people to eat less calories without trying.

2. Have a Salad First
Research from the Ingestive Behavior Lab at Penn State University shows that having a salad before you eat your main meal can decrease your calorie intake at that meal by 10-12%.

3. Snack on nuts
For the longest time, nuts were shunned on fat loss diets because of their high fat content. However, the fat, fiber, and protein in nuts makes them a great fat loss snack. Portion control is key and ~1/4 cup is a perfect snack size.

4. Weigh Yourself Often
People often shun the scale but research from the National Weight Control Registry shows that 75% of people that have maintained a +30lb weight loss for over a year weigh themselves regularly.

5. Find a Diet You Enjoy
There are so many different sensible ways to lose weight. Over the long term they all yield similar results, as the key is really compliance. Find a diet that you enjoy, one that you can stick with. That is the most powerful factor in long term weight loss.

6. Turn the Lights Out
Recent research has revealed the hormonal importance of getting adequate sleep. Insufficient sleep negatively impacts hormones like leptin which regulate appetite, metabolic rate, and fat burning. Get 7-9 hours each night.

7. Take Care of Your Belly
Did you know that there are 10 times more bacterial cells in your digestive tract than cells in your entire body! These bacteria interact with receptors in your body and impact brain signals and hormones that control calorie burning and fat loss. Eat fermented foods like yogurt and kefir or take a probiotic supplement to ensure you have the best bacteria working for you, not against you.

8. Enjoy Avocados
Avocados contain high levels of monounsaturated fat (so does olive oil and beef). Switching out saturated fat and replacing it with monounsaturated fat, has been shown to cause a redistribution of body fat causing a reduction in the dangerous fat that sits behind your six pack and around your organs.

9. Skip Sugar Sweetened Beverages
The calories that you take in from sugar sweetened beverages are some of the worst because they are easy to consume and your body doesn’t sense them with respects to impacting your level of fullness. Skip the calorie containing drinks and opt for water, sparkling water, or green tea. The latter not only is zero calorie, it can also ramp up fat burning!

10. Eat Breakfast
The National Weight Control Registry tracks the behaviors of people that have successfully lost and kept off 30lbs or more. Their data shows that 97% of these people eat breakfast. It is a great habit that sets the tone for your day.

11. Eat Protein at Breakfast
In addition to eating breakfast, it is important to eat protein at breakfast. Protein eaten at breakfast has the greatest impact on satiety compared to protein eaten at other times of the day.

12. Measure Body Composition
In addition to regular weigh ins, you should also get your body composition done 1-2 times per month. This should include your body fat percentage, body fat mass, total body water and skeletal muscle mass. This will act as your compass so you know if your exercise and nutrition program is working.

How Opioids Are Killing Our Children

What Are Opioids?
America is in an unprecedented state of emergency because of the number of Americans hooked on drugs.
Here are the names of these killer substances:
• codeine (only available in generic form)
• fentanyl (Actiq, Duragesic, Fentora, Abstral, Onsolis)
• hydrocodone (Hysingla ER, Zohydro ER)
• hydrocodone/acetaminophen (Lorcet, Lortab, Norco, Vicodin)
• hydromorphone (Dilaudid, Exalgo)
• meperidine (Demerol)
• methadone (Dolophine, Methadose)
• morphine (Kadian, MS Contin, Morphabond)
• oxycodone (OxyContin, Oxaydo)
• oxycodone and acetaminophen (Percocet, Roxicet)
• oxycodone and naloxone
• oxycontin
These drugs are called opioids. They are pain relievers that create a feeling of euphoria and are highly addictive. They come in tablets, capsules or liquid and are a natural derivative of o***m, from the poppy and He**in. These are now synthetically replicated in the laboratory, into drugs such as Fentanyl, which is 100 times stronger and more addictive than any of the originals. The body begins to crave more and more to satisfy the ‘good feeling.’ Continued use and abuse “can”* lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms.” 1
*(comment: in the writer’s considered opinion, the word should unequivocally be “will”)
Recently, the FDA approved a new opioid, Dsuva, called a super opioid. It contains 30 micrograms of a synthetic opioid painkiller known as sufentanil, which is 5 to 10 times more potent than fentanyl, and 1,000 times more potent than morphine to give immediate relief from pain that ordinary opioids will take longer to take effect.

We Are In An “Opioid Crisis.”

In 2016 alone, more than 42,000 people in the United States died from overdosing on these drugs. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) in a January 2018 report says that “every day, more than 90 Americans die after overdosing on opioids.” Another 2.1 million people became addicted to these painkillers. The drug’s lethalness comes from the way they affect the brain and other parts of the body. They are, after all, some of the best painkillers known. They mimic a natural compound in your brain— with addictive and dangerous impacts. 2

How Does This Affect Children?

The statistics usually emphasize the number of deaths and the attendant costs, but doesn’t announce the real damage done. Yes, lives are important, but the living are more important, especially if they have to live with addiction, or live with an addict. It impacts the extended family, and can cause damage in a ripple effect to family members not there. It affects every aspect of liveliness and society, some regions more than others.
What about the little children having no choice but to try to survive in sometimes unspeakable conditions and circumstances? The impact on our little ones involved is undoubtedly the worst of all consequences, superseding death and the outrageous cost in money. They are our future.

Nationwide Facts 3
• 8.7 million children nationwide have a parent who suffers from a substance use disorder.
• 85.4% of people suffering from drug dependence or abuse go untreated.
• Every 19 minutes a baby is born suffering from opioid withdrawal, which can mean:
• LOWER BIRTH WEIGHTS
• RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS
• FEEDING DIFFICULTIES
• SEIZURES
• LONGER HOSPITAL STAYS
• 270,000 + children were placed in foster care in 2016
• Nearly 1 in 5 were infants
• In more than 1/3 of these placements, parental substance use was a factor, second to neglect.
• Lifelong impact:
• Children dealing with traumatic experiences can face social, emotional, physical and mental health challenges that last for the rest of their lives.
• Left unaddressed, early childhood adversity can lead to school failure, risky behaviors like alcohol and drug use, and increased chance of health conditions like obesity and heart disease.

States Impacted
While every state has been damaged, some have been harder hit than others, particularly those in the Appalachian region. West Virginia has been dealt a mortal blow. Here are the facts:
• In 2013, West Virginia providers wrote 110 opioid prescriptions per 100 persons (2.08 million prescriptions). In the same year, the average U.S. rate was 70 opioid prescriptions per 100 persons (IMS Health, 2016).
• Babies Born Addicted to Drugs Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). A fancy term for children born with addiction. Between 2007 and 2013, NAS rates in West Virginia significantly increased from 7.7 to 33.4 cases per 1,000 live births per year. 4
• The average across the 28 states included in the 2013 analysis was 6.0 cases per 1,000 births. Between 2014 and 2016 the rate of NAS in West Virginia rose further to 37 cases per 1,000 live births. In 2013, the southeastern region of the state had the highest NAS rate of 48.76 cases per 1,000 live births.
• West Virginia has the nation's highest rates of overdose deaths and new hepatitis C and hepatitis B infections as well as HIV infections.
• Over 40 percent of the children are in foster care or are being raised by grandparents. There is no aspect of life that is untouched by the opioid epidemic.
• 87% of people in West Virginia suffering from drug dependence or abuse go untreated.
• 4,581 West Virginia Children were placed in foster care in 2016
• 16% were infants. In 47% of these placements, parental substance use was a factor.

These Helpless Children Are The Children Of All Of Us
This article is how opioids are killing our children, and you may say that your children and family are not impacted. But looking at America as a whole, those children so awfully damaged are our children, whether we really know it or not. We in America are not disparate unconnected units of population. We are one unit, as if the country is a human body, we are all affected if part of the body is damaged grievously. And America is grievously injured. It is not unlike having been shot up terribly in a battle, with every part being hit, and some as in West Virginia, with wounds bad enough to prove fatal to the organism.
Responsibility
It is our responsibility to help in any way that we can. Find someone you can help. If you live in the Appalachian area, just call the state and find out what you can do to help. If you live elsewhere, you can start a fund drive, like “GoFundMe” or some other specific means to help. You can make a difference!

Unless you have heart or blood pressure problems, you might not know of nitric oxide, much less anything about it. Still, everyone’s bodies utilizes it.

Nitric oxide is a molecule whose primary purpose is to make sure blood vessels stay wide open. It’s a great remedy for high blood pressure, can increase how much oxygen reaches the heart, and can even help with reproductive health, which can enhance the experience during moments of intimacy.

So, how do you boost nitric oxide levels? There are four things you can do lifestyle-wise: eat more leafy greens, eat foods abundant in flavonoids, get regular exercise, and avoid high-fat, high-carb diets.

Leafy greens, like kale, spinach, and arugula are rich in compounds that stimulate nitric oxide production, flavonoid-rich foods protect nitric oxide molecules from free radical damage, exercise naturally gets blood flowing and helps protects against disease, and avoiding too many unhealthy fats and carbs keep ADMA levels down, which helps avoid suppressing nitric oxide levels.

Depending on your lifestyle and dietary habits, your nitric oxide levels may or may not be where you want them. Individuals with poor circulation, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or many other common health problems are often deficient in the critical molecule nitric oxide. You might want to supplement your life with the right whole food nutrients.

It takes a trio of amino acids to keep your nitric oxide levels up: L-arginine, L-ornithine, and Lcitrulline. According to the research, with enough of these amino acids in your system, you can reverse deficiencies and dramatically improve your cardiovascular and overall health.

I have noticed many positive things since I started Dr. John Heary’s peripheral neuropathy program. I went to Dr. Heary because I suffered with a diabetic neuropathy. After only 2 weeks of treatment I started to get feeling back in my toes. I could actually wiggle my toes without them feeling numb and hurting. The aches and pain in my legs seemed to vanish. I noticed I was able to get up in the morning and walk down the stairs without holding onto the railing. I can actually run down the stairs now. I am now on day 45 of treatment and I can see improvement on my health on a weekly basis. The physical aspects of my job are a lot easier to perform now. I am amazed at the miraculous results I have had regarding my diabetes. The nutritional plan has helped me lower my weight and body fat percentage and increase muscle. My blood sugars are now in normal range and the best part is that I no longer need medication. I feel great, have lots of energy and overall I feel younger.
