calorie counting diet | healthy calorie counting diet plan

What is a calorie counting diet?

To put it quite simply a calorie counting diet for weight loss is about ensuring the amount of calories you consume each day is less than the amount of calories you burn up.

It must be stressed that a calorie counting for weight loss program is not the ‘be all, end all’ solution to healthy weight loss.

But still, it certainly has its benefits. A healthy calorie counting diet plan to lose weight certainly provides a useful tool for people wanting to achieve long term weight loss and as mentioned above, should be used in addition to regular exercise and a sensible low fat diet.

Now, in most standard diet involving calorie counting, you will notice the following characteristics:

1. A calorie counting diet has a certain number of calories that you should eat within a day. Counting the number of calories in your diet may help you to reach a healthy weight. When you eat too many calories, they are stored as fat and you may become overweight. If you do not eat enough calories, you may become underweight.

2. The goal of a healthy calorie counting diet plan is to eat the right amount of calories each day to reach a healthy body weight. You will need to eat fewer calories if you are trying to lose weight.

Tips To Make A Calorie counting diet part of your lifestyle

Losing weight by counting calories helps to build your knowledge and awareness of how many calories your body needs to function and what is in the foods you consume.

The gist of the process is quite simple, you eat whatever you want as long as you eat less calories than what you actually burn in a day.

To make a calorie counting diet successful:

1. First assess how many actual calories you need in a day for existing.
For women, this averages around 2000, for men around 2500, this will vary depending on your build – such as muscle content and height.

2. Read food labels to check the calories in packaged foods. The calories in each serving are listed just below the "Amount per Serving" on the food label.

3. You may need to avoid high fat foods if you are at risk for, or have heart disease. You may need to eat fewer foods from the breads and starches food group if you have diabetes.

4. It must be mentioned that the addition of a low-fat diet with some degree of reasonable physical exercise is paramount for succeeding with such a route to shedding the pounds.

Now, that I've gone this far with the conventional route of using a healthy calorie counting diet for weight loss; I must add my 2 cents on the whole process.

The gist is you can eat whatever you want in a calorie counting diet right? Just as long as you don't exceed (or are consuming) less than what the body needs.

However, shouldn't it matter (especially in a healthy calorie counting diet plan)that the SOURCE of the calories be the right foods for health?

In comes my alternative to even excessive or fanatical use of a calorie counting for weight loss, but more so IMPROVING health.

An Easier Option to Using A Counting Counting Diet

If your diet were one such as the recommended "Mucus-Lean" or "Mucus-Less" Diet of the Drug-free fraternity, you most likely will not even need to bother about counting calories to lose weight.

Since the diet is made up primarily of Fruits, Raw and or Properly cooked Vegetables INTERMINGLED with the occasional juice fast, with adequate aerobic (more in the case of weight loss) and anaerobic calisthenics and/or even yoga, suffice it to say you will see the pounds drop AND have the added benefit of IMPROVED HEALTH!

Based on scientifically proven research on thousands of people for over two centuries on such health principles as food combination and assimilation, the human body goes through a cleansing process from twelve midnight until twelve noon, and a building program from twelve noon to twelve midnight, therefore our meals even on a so-called healthy calorie counting diet plan during these respective periods should be harmonious with these processes of natural detoxification of the body.

As a result, below is a suggested daily menu plan to aid with any calorie counting diet you may be on with the added bonus of improving your health.


Breakfast:

A choice of the following
1. A tall glass of Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice.
2. A tall glass of Fresh squeezed lemonade flavored with genuine maple
Syrup (the darker the grade the better)

Lunch:

A mono-meal of an organic fruit in season for example: Apples in the fall and winter, Melons in the summer, Berries in spring.

Dinner:

Fresh, home-made salads.

A simple dressing could be
(a) Lemon juice, olive oil and un-iodized sea-salt
(b) Avocadoes or Green coconuts blended with tomatoes and some sea salt

Or

Raw and/or cooked root vegetables such as Celery, Carrots, Potatoes, Plantains, raw or slightly heated fruit veggies (these can be blended into Soups or dressings for your salads)


Now, I have some other helpful recipes you can incorporate into your plan of using a Vegetarian diet to lose weight and you can view them by clicking here: Healthy Vegetarian Recipes

You will notice that with these food items and meals, the necessity for even counting calories to lose weight becomes almost unnecessary, the goal here is healthy weight loss and fitness right?

These substances have the uncanny ability to fill you up quicker and at the same time, owing to their broom-like qualities will push out any debris in the colon (which houses MOST of the excess weight anyway) now that's something you can't get on any so-called healthy calorie counting diet plan.

Still, I'm flexible and not militant, if using a calorie counting diet still appeals to you, go ahead and use one, but I believe to make it healthy make the items you do consume be what would benefit your health...here's a tip make a healthy calorie counting diet plan with the tips above on the mucus-free diet.

I assure you that you CAN'T GO WRONG.

Oh and on this calorie counting diet alternative (or any for that matter...) DON'T USE MICROWAVES!!!


To Health.

Army Physical Fitness Test

What's The Army physical fitness test?

While I was in DC a while back, a navy recruiter came up to me and handed me all of this literature on joining the navy and as it turned out, at the time I was actually sold on joining.

The next day or so, I went into their office and in the course of the discussion, he mentioned the necessity of passing an army physical fitness test which is a three event physical performance test used to assess endurance.

He sort of shrugged it off as being a no brainer, however even though it is a simple way to measure a soldier's ability to move his body by using a few major muscle groups and cardiorespiratory system, the intent of the the army physical fitness test in the navy is to provide a baseline assessment regardless of MOS or duty.

Although, I obviously never did join the navy, (thankfully my family talked me out of it...), I did do more research on the army physical fitness test, just to see what my chances would have been to passing (or failing as the case may be) it.

It turns out that one is required to go through an examination of the 5 basic components of fitness by going through a routine which consists of two minutes of pushups, two minutes of situps, and a two-mile run.

Each part of the test is given a maximum score of 100 points for a potential perfect score of 300. The test is tough, but as long as a cadet attends PT sessions on a regular basis and works out, he/she will perform well.

The minimum passing grade on the APFT is 60 points in each event, for a total of 180.

One must complete 49 push ups to obtain 70% (passing) in under two minues, 64 sit ups to obtain 70% in under two minutes, and have to run the two miles in under 15:09.

Well, it looks like I could have been able to handle it, but nonetheless for those seeking information on how to actually pass the army physical fitness test, I've recently come across some tips that could come in handy in that regard.

Tips on Passing the Army physical fitness test

6-8 WEEKS BEFORE THE AFPT

At least six to eight weeks before the recorded army physical fitness test, you should be fully focused on a training plan to maximize your performance.

It's advised that as you train, you should use overload, progression and specificity.

When working to overload for the APFT, try to gradually increase the number of repetitions of sit-ups and push-ups and decrease the run time.

Progression is illustrated in a timed workout where one week you do repetitions of 30 seconds of exercise followed by 30 seconds of rest. In subsequent workouts you progress to 45 seconds of exercise and 45 seconds of rest. Alternatively, you can gradually reduce the recovery time between exercises. This is where careful planning and good records pay off.


3 WEEKS BEFORE THE APFT

For the last few weeks prior to the test, do your workouts at about the same time of day that your record APFT is scheduled. If possible, practice at the test site at least once a week during this period.

This will familiarize you with the situation, especially the run course, and will help your pacing. By knowing your performance goals for each one-half mile segment of the run, you'll know exactly how you're performing during the test and what you must do to make or exceed your goals.

THE WEEK OF THE APFT

On the day of the test, fatigue will hurt your score more quickly than any other factor. For two days prior to testing, avoid taxing your muscles -- stop training and relax, because it's too late to improve and more training will only tire you out.
The older you are the more recovery time you'll need between major exertions, so if you're over 40 give yourself four to five days' rest.

ON THE TEST DAY OF THE APFT:

Eat only a light meal or some fruit juice 30 minutes prior to taking the test. Warm-up with ONLY A FEW push-ups about five minutes prior to testing. Do the same thing with sit-ups and the run. Since you may be waiting a few minutes before testing, plan ahead.

Pace yourself on the run. Your best time will occur if you run each quarter mile at the same pace rather than starting fast then fading badly at the end. Also, by starting a bit slower you will be the one passing others, rather than being passed, which will greatly aid your motivation the last quarter mile.

Closing Thoughts:

Here's a quote from someone online on the whole summary of the APFT:

The Army physical fitness test is not an end in itself. It's intended to help you attain high levels of cardiovascular and muscle fitness. These physical capabilities are necessary for optimal execution of your mission-essential task list. Training for the APFT ought to be just one part of an overall program to maximize your health and military proficiency.




Well, there it is mates...suffice it to say if like I once did, you have plans of joining the military, it's my hope that the tips above will come in handy in regards to passing the ever crucial Army Physical Fitness Test.

5 components of physical fitness

What Are the 5 components of physical fitness?

It's 5 am in the morning and like clockwork, my eyes automatically open. I take a few
deep breaths and roll on over to get up and being my day. As I've been doing for years, I try to begin my day with exercise, not only to wake me up but to give me the added boost of energy for my day. Moreover, based on my knowledge of fitness from my cadet-training, this simple discipline ensures that personally my 5 components of physical fitness are kept in good condition and top form.

See, being fit doesn't necessarily mean going to the gym and being able to bench-press 100's of pounds, quite the contrary.

Physical fitness is the ability to function effectively throughout your day, perform your usual other activities and still have enough energy left over to handle any extra stresses or emergencies which may arise.

When one considers the 5 components of physical fitness, it really nails in what Martial Arts Great Bruce Lee once said about erroneous training, "You can have all the strength in the world but if you can't use it in day to day existence, then it is worthless".

That considered, it may be time to review our opinions on the subject of fitness.

When you look at fitness, you need to remember that it's more than just exercising. Neither is it just about your Weight Control, strength, endurance, Fat and Calorie Content.

To easily understand Physical Fitness, you should look into its parts. This way you can design your own routine for diet and exercise to ensure that all elements that consist of being fit are met adequately.

The following has been generally agreed to be the the 5 basic components of physical fitness

* Cardiorespiratory (CR) endurance - the efficiency with which the body delivers oxygen and nutrients needed for muscular activity and transports waste products from the cells.

* Muscular strength - the greatest amount of force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single effort.

* Muscular endurance - the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated movements with a sub-maximal force for extended periods of times.

* Flexibility - the ability to move the joints or any group of joints through an entire, normal range of motion.

* Body composition - the percentage of body fat a person has in comparison to his or her total body mass.


Other considerations may come into mind as exercise scientists have identified skill related components of physical fitness in addition to the afore mentioned health related 5 basic components of physical fitness.

Those aspects of fitness which form the basis for successful sports participation are as follows:

Other Components of Physical Fitness

1. Speed: The ability to move quickly from one point to another
2. Agility: The ability of the body to change direction quickly
3. Balance: The ability to maintain an upright posture while still or m
4. Coordination: Integration with hand and/or foot movements with the input of the senses.
5. Reaction Time: Amount of time it takes to get moving.
6. Power: The ability to do strength work at an explosive pace.

It must be realized that the human body before all other physiological considerations is an air-gas engine constructed in its entirety-with the exception of the bones-from a rubber like, very elastic, spongy material, called flesh and tissues. For this mechanism to work most efficiently,with the 5 components of physical fitness in top-shape and form, obstructions in these tissues must FIRST be eliminated via methods which may involve an exclusive use or a combination of proper diet and exercise.

So next time you are considering just how fit you or someone is, be sure to address all the components of physical fitness to be sure your assessment is right.

To Health My Friend.
