A
nice tip is to whirl up a cup of Pace picante salsa in the blender to
smooth it out. Pour into a squeeze bottle and you can control the
amount you use (good idea for any sauce). To one batch I added a
tablespoon of mayo to make it creamy.
I keep a stack of wraps in a large Gladware bowl so I've always got a Kimkins snack ready.
I want to gain muscle mass and lose some fat but I am confused
about all the terminology and how it relates to losing fat and gaining
muscle.
For example I am told that carbs will give you energy to
help you exercise and lose fat but at the same time, when exercising
you will burn off the carbs first and the fat will remain untouched, so
should I eat carbs or not?
Food contains calories but is that necessarily a bad thing?
I'm
told that to build muscle you should eat a lot of protein, but people
on diets have protein days to lose weight. Yet I am told if the protein
isn't converted to energy or muscle it stores as fat. It just
contradicts itself.
Also natural sugars which are found in fruit
and vegetables good or bad? On one hand I need them but won't sugar
clog up my system?
The only thing that makes sense to me is to
drink heaps of water because muscles are about 70% water and only about
20% of water is stored as fat.
ANSWER
Isn't
it confusing? I help people lose weight for a living and even I'm
boggled by the information (good and bad) floating around out there.
Carbs
don't give you "energy" per se. All foods contain calories and the
scientific term for calories is "energy". Slim Fast had to stop their
commercials that claimed their shakes provided "energy" because people
assumed artificial energy.
There's no need to eat extra protein
because it doesn't automatically turn into muscle. First you have to
work out hard with weights, rip the existing muscle and then NEED more
protein than you're already eating. That's unlikely because most
Americans easily eat 200% or more of the 60 grams a day that the RDA
suggests for a "typical" person who works out 2-3 times a week.
Eating extra protein that you don't need merely feeds extra calories and that can contribute to extra body fat.
Water
is 0 calorie and none is stored as fat. No need to over drink water,
it doesn't "cause" weight loss, although sometimes thirst is mistaken
for hunger.
If you're on a low calorie high carb diet (think
Weight Watchers), then fruit is fine as a snack. It is very high carbs
so don't overdo it.
If you're on a low carb diet (think Atkins or South Beach), fruit is allowed at certain stages so pay attention to their rules.
If you're on a low calorie low carb diet (think Kimkins), save that fruit for when you're close to goal -- you won't get fast weight loss if you're eating it.
People on low carb diets like Kimkins don't eat extra protein, they limit their carb intake to get fast weight loss. Â
Your best bet is to find a diet that you like that will give you the
results you want and follow the guidelines. This removes much of the
guess work. As a Kimkins diet member you'll have direct access to me,
the diet creator, to ask any questions -- which can be a nice benefit!
Few beauty topics captures the attention of women more than
"cellulite". It's the bane of our existence and can ruin the best long
angle lens "back shot" in shorts or swim suit.
Even tabloids cash in by displaying revealing photos of celebrities with
close-up shots of the horrific dimpling on the backs of expensive
thighs on the most exclusive beaches in the world.
And we'll
spend big dollars to get rid of the blasted cellulite! Never mind that
there isn't a true cure, we don't care! Creams, massages, herbal
supplements -- surgery. We'll try it.
To be clear, we're talking about the brownish stringy areas in the image above. The fiberous tissue that looks like a tree-gone-bad in a Sleepy Hollow novel.
So, let's take a look at the tried & true, plus a few newbies on the horizon. Cellulite treatment is as varied as it can get. Water, suction, laser, massage and now there is the electric muscle stimulation.
Electric currents
passing through pads placed on the body cause the muscles to contract
and relax alternatively. A good work out no doubt to build the muscles,
but to what extent it is good for cellulite is really hard to say.
Lymphatic drainage massage
increases the functioning of the lymphatic system, and helps to remove
and filter waste, toxins and excess fluids from the body.
Body brushing removes dead cells from the surface of the skin, making it easy for toxins to be removed.
Tri-Active laser dermology
is a high tech new fangled massager. It uses laser technology and has 3
different functions. Like any other machine, it first breaks up fat
molecules and collagen, and then smaller lasers generate new collagen
making surface skin smooth.
The new Vibratory Endermatic System for cellulite treatment increases blood circulation, stretches the connective fibers and reduces dimpling of skin.
New therapies like the jet therapy,
which breaks fat cells with the help of compressed air blown onto the
skin through a small filtration system, is yet to gain credibility.
Gene therapy
works on the principle of an inherited cellulite gene on the "x"
chromosome. Replacement of the cellulite causing gene engineered to
follow a different pattern could prove to be the ultimate
breakthrough. Of course, this would have to be done at a very early
age and most children don't think of cellulite problems on the
playground.
The general consensus from all credible medical
sources is that there is no cure for cellulite. Look again at the
diagram. Massage or lipsuction isn't going to remove the dense muscular
fibers that bind to cause the dimpling effect.
Losing weight means having less fat to dimple, of course. Naturally I'd recommend Kimkins.
OK, at some point we're all faced with the temptations of restaurant lures while on a diet. Kimkins members face the same choices.
How to survive? Fend for ourselves with oh-so-friendly waiters and delectable aromas wafting from the kitchen?
While I'll admit I'm a sucker for
ambiance and a feeling of entitlement when I go out ("I've worked hard
this week I deserve this!") even I manage.
And believe me, if I can do
it, anyone can.
Italian
I've yet to find an Italian place
that didn't offer chicken piccata. Add a fresh Caprese salad with
grilled veggies and you're all set. Must admit I'm always up for a
side of caponata. And, yes, I take home a large doggie bag.
Mexican
I live in southern California and
Mexican restaurants abound at every corner, from large El Torito chain
stores to small mom & pop authentic eateries. Delicioso and my favorite restaurants!
You can't go wrong with fajitas
& a mixed salad, skip the rice, chips & beans. They'll make
those fajitas with chicken if you ask nicely. Other favorites available everywhere are steak picado or carne asada.
(Put that margarita down!)
Steakhouse
Come on, no brainer! Steak, salad, steamed veggies!
Asian (Japanese, Thai, Chinese)
Teppanyaki
places (above) are great for Kimkins and many will substitute extra
grilled veggies for rice. The dramatic chef show alone takes your mind
off food!
Chinese
restaurants can rustle up any chicken or shrimp dish w/o sauce, just
ask (skip rice & soup, most likely cornstarch). Hmmm, maybe sushi
(only if no carb items).
Thai
can be surprisingly Kimkins friendly if only for the fact that there
are few chain Thai restaurants with inflexible menus and they're very
willing to go that extra to keep customers happy.
Family (Denny's, Applebee's, IHOP)
Yikes, do your best! Nearly every
delicious item in their intentionally strategic pictorial menu is
loaded with breading, sauces & huge portions of carb laden side
dishes. Be brave, search out a grilled "something" and a salad.
If the place you're going has a menu online, scope it out! Decide hours before what you're going to eat. Then you're in control and that lessens the chance of impulse ordering. Know your drink, too.
Did I mention I have a 15 second
pep talk with myself in the parking lot before I go in? "It's a restaurant meal, not a once in a lifetime event." Yeah, weird.
Hey, I've been a size 4-6 for five years now -- don't look a Kimkins
gift horse in the mouth!
It goes without saying to divide your meal automatically in half ...
for the doggie bag. Think of the delicious lunch you'll have the next
day!
Have you been wondering about Kimkins?
