Eating With Chopsticks To Lose Weight

How fast do you eat?

Do you shovel a new spoon- or forkful, dare I say HANDFUL!!!, of food into your mouth before the load that’s already in it is chewed and swallowed?

Well then, since you obviously eat in the manner that was so accurately described because I’m omniscient like that, that solves the mystery of why you’re fat!

See, when you eat, hunger hormones send signals to the brain to tell it when you’re full. When you eat too fast, your body doesn’t pick up on those cues that it’s had enough food, resulting in the consumption of excess calories. Conversely, eating slowly buys the brain time to receive the signals in question so you only take in as many calories as needed.

So what’s one way to slow down how fast you eat?

Yes, you could not use what essentially amounts to a shovel to shovel food into your mouth hole!

…or you could use chopsticks! Continue reading Eating With Chopsticks To Lose Weight

Are Frozen Vegetables As Healthy As Fresh?

Vegetables are expensive, huh?

That’s one of the common reasons people give for why they don’t eat as many vegetables as they’re supposed to.¹Based on general guidelines, that amount is 9 servings, or 2-3 cups, per day.

However, the truth is that vegetables aren’t really expensive, especially if they’re bought in season and you cut back on your junk food spending. Vegetables can be had for even cheaper when they’re bought frozen instead of fresh. If you go to any grocery store, it’s not uncommon to find big, cheap bags of frozen vegetables. You should get them!

Now, before you scoff, the cheapness of frozen vegetables in comparison to fresh vegetables isn’t a marker of their inferiority. Many people think it is but it’s not… Continue reading Are Frozen Vegetables As Healthy As Fresh?

Shaker Bottle

You know how you shrivel up and die every time you don’t drink a protein shake as soon as your workout is over?

Of course you don’t know about that because no such thing happens.

Contrary to the belief that makes you live in fear of not seeing gains if your workout ends and you eat a second, not a nanosecond, later, current research suggests that the body is prime for nutrients for as long as 24-72 hours after the termination of a workout.

Yes, nutrient timing, or the post-workout window, is a myth!

With that said that you don’t have to drink protein right away, a shaker bottle is something that you might want to place in your gym bag for a quick recovery meal before you go home and prepare something more elaborate. As to what to look for, there’s really nothing to it. Continue reading Shaker Bottle

Are You Using The Right Tool For The Job?

A hammer is a tool with a heavy metal head that’s used to break things and drive in nails. A nail is a metal spike that’s driven into things by use of a hammer banging onto its broadened flat head.

A screw is a spiral-threaded metal pin that pierces things by use of a screwdriver fitting into its slotted head and then being turned. A screwdriver is a tool with a cross- or star-shaped tip that’s used to fit into the head of a screw to turn it and pierce things.

As we can see, a hammer and screwdriver are two different tools for two different jobs.

Sure, you can hammer a screw, but why do that when you can just get the right tool?¹While hammering a screw will get the fastener into the material, the hold won’t be as secure, as the threads will tear away everything around them as the screw is pounded down, leaving nothing firm for the fastener to grab onto. That is, if the screw doesn’t break first because screws aren’t designed to be strong enough to be pounded on!

When it comes to weight loss, too many are banging screws with hammers by trying to use exercise and physical activity to burn fat when the right tool for the job is…⁣ Continue reading Are You Using The Right Tool For The Job?
