Bloating After Your Exercise Routine and New Diet?

You’ve started bloating and retaining water, and now feel more uncomfortable and larger than ever! What is this – you’ve been on your diet and exercise plan for two weeks and now this?

To answer this question, one must realize that bloating is a completely natural response to sudden changes in your body. With a Exercise Routine, especially if you haven’t had a regular routine in place, and are suddenly working out with high intensity, it can actually throw your body into a bit of a state of shock – your body interprets the extra stress as a physical emergency, and beings to try to stockpile necessary nutrients (which would also explain protein cravings directly after a workout as well!) and water. Another aspect is quite simple: you’ve worked your muscles hard, and now they’ve become inflamed. One thing to really keep in mind is that when you’re starting your Exercise Routine, you’re moving muscles in ways that they’re not used to. This causes minor rips and tears, which causes the muscle to inflame to try to stabilize itself while it heals.

Solutions to exercise-related swelling:

Drink at least 64 oz of water per day, and make sure to drink before and after a workout. I’ve found that if I try to drink water during a workout, I get nauseated. So, what I do to combat this is take a mouthful of water and swish it around in my mouth before swallowing. It’s refreshing enough to keep me going, and also keeps me from barfing.

Make sure to eat a small snack before a workout. My Wii Fit is constantly recommending bananas – not only are they a great source of easily-burned carbs, but they’ve got potassium, which can help reduce swelling and cramping.

Make sure to eat protein after a workout as well, such as two ounces of lean meat, ½ a cup of cottage cheese, etc. This will help your body with muscle repair after a workout. My Fitness Coach always recommends this to me, and I’ve find that it’s helped!

Gentle stretching. Don’t ream on your muscles, but some gentle cool-down stretches after a workout, and again after a night’s rest to start your “morning after,” will help to increase pliability and reduce long-term soreness.

Hot and cold applications – take a hot (not intolerable, but comfortable) shower, and alternate with lukewarm water, or hot and cold compresses can be alternated every 5 minutes for a half hour for relief.

If all else fails – go for an Ibuprofen if you think your body can tolerate it. It has anti-inflammatory properties. As a licensed Massage Therapist, I did recommend this to my clients who absolutely refused to stretch, as an absolute last resort. The only downside to this is that ibuprofen will dehydrate, so it’s key to take this with plenty of water.

Conversely, when switching your Diet, if you’ve been consuming fast food, high fat meals, high fat and high sugar snacks, and then suddenly switch to lean proteins and more fruits and vegetables, you will probably have a relatively unpleasant reaction as your body adjusts to increased fiber and starts to become less tolerant to fats.

Solutions to this:

Increase fruits and vegetables in your Diet gradually – add ½ to 1 cup every few days until you’re up to your recommended daily allowance.

Keep track of what fruits and veggies you’re adding! Veggies such as broccoli and cauliflower and fruits such as Prunes, Raisins, and peaches have larger amounts of fructose, which can cause an increase in flatulence (and conversely, abdominal bloating).

Drink LOTS of water (at the very least 64 oz a day! This cannot be emphasized enough!) to help flush out the fats and food that have accumulated over the last few days – the increase in fruits and veggies will help to flush these out as well

Monitor Salt Intake – excess sodium = excess swelling.

Talk to your Doctor about possible food allergies if this continues.

Another thing to keep in mind – if the swelling continues for more than a day, or pits (when pressure is applied, an indentation will remain), to contact your Doctor – this may be a sign of a more serious condition.

Christian Women’s Weight Loss Surgery Alternative, Diet and Exercise Plan with Counseling

Sure, you can go out and try to get liposuction, lap-band surgery or vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) where staples are used to divide the stomach in two parts. You could get the roux-en-Y gastric bypass where you turn your stomach into a tiny pouch and eat tiny amounts of food for the rest of your life. Nervermind the symptoms of weakness, faintness, nausea, sweating and diarrhea after eating.

These procedures are expensive and they pose a serious risk to your emotional and physical health or even your life. Weight loss surgery has been proven to cause severe side effects. Did you know that side affects of weight loss surgery could include gallstones, nutritional deficiency, infection, leaking or pulmonary embolism (a sudden blockage in the lung artery)?  Are you sure you want to sign yourself up for this?

 

You don’t have to risk losing your life to lose weight. Your perfect weight can be achieved by using inexpensive holistic methods proven to work even in the most challenging situations. Consider weight loss coaching by phone to get the accountability, guidance and personal support you need. By having a personal coach you can get the emotional and spiritual support you need to get past the overwhelming urge to overeat and remain inactive.

People who become Christians and invite the Lord Jesus Christ into their lives have a renewed sense of purpose which can fight against depression and increase self-esteem. When you feel better about yourself, it is much easier to stay motivated and remain patient enough to diligently improve your eating and exercise habits.

Christian counseling for weight loss can be a perfect gateway to freedom from long-lasting weight issues. Many scientific studies have been conducted that prove that prayer works. For example, cardiologist Randolph Byrd studied 393 patients atSan Francisco GeneralHospitalwhere some of the people were unknowingly being prayed for and some were not.

The results were astounding. The patients who were prayed for needed less drugs, spent less time on ventilators and fared much better than the other patients who received the same treatment without prayer! Prayer can also be powerful tool to help you lose weight, overcome food addiction and the low self-confidence associated with being very overweight.

A recent ABC News report showed that over-the-phone weight loss counseling works. It proved that subjects in a study were more successful and that telephone counseling is a cost-effective alternative to face-to-face meetings. Phone coaching is proven to be more convenient for people who live in rural areas and people with very busy schedules.

This proves that telephone coaching could be an excellent alterative to weight loss surgery. When you add the spiritual element to a healthy weight loss program, this may more than double your chances for success. Find a Christian nutrition and fitness specialist that you love and start a holistic “non-invasive” diet exercise plan. Get on the path to spiritual growth so you can heal the emotional and external reasons you’re overweight right now.

Exercise and healthy diet compliment each other

It is very important to follow a good diet when you are exercising. There is no point lifting heavy weights and doing extensive cardio if you are not sleeping well and eating healthy. One cannot expect to lose weight and inches if one is exercising and not maintaining a healthy diet. They both compliment each other. One necessitates the other. There are people who exercise regularly and complain of not losing weight because they do not have healty eating habits. In fact it is best if good eating habits are inculcated by parents amongst children at a very nascent age thus saving us from the “torture” feeling of having to eat something we don’t like.

 

We can actually follow some simple points which can help us lose weight and gain good immunity.

 

  1. Eat in intervals of 3 to 4 hours. This helps to keep our metabolism in check.
  2. Breakfast should be heavy – Brown bread, egg whites, chapatis (wheat flat bread), juice, sautéed vegetables, cornflakes, fruits. Avoid tea and coffee.
  3. After 2 to 3 hours have nuts or dried fruits. You may also have a small bowl of soup.
  4. For lunch have chapatis, dal, very less rice and veg/non veg prepared in less oil and curd. Please do not over eat.
  5. Again after 3 to 4 hours you can have a brown bread sandwich, fruit salad or nuts.
  6. Best to have dinner by 8.30 pm. Soup, grilled chicken, sautéed vegetables.
  7. Keep having your protein supplements as per directed by your fitness trainer.
  8. Please try staying away from alcohol and cigarettes.
Indian food is very spicy, oily and unhealthy. It is therefore difficult to maintain the “boiled food” diet all throughout the year but the above food chart can be followed most of the times during the year. Sweet and spicy food should be taken in moderation if not completely avoided. Further please remember exercise and proper sleep always goes hand in hand for a healthy body. The fresh feeling after waking up in the morning is mandatory for a healthy well-being and alert mind.

 

As the saying goes Health is Wealth a regular regime of exercise, healthy food and peaceful mind can keep one healthy.

 

As we understand a little bit of shopping is also necessary for a healthy lifestyle. Therefore you may visit www.yourfitnessmart.com to shop all your health and fitness products of “A” category brands available at very reasonable rates. You can buy supplements, fitness equipments, Ayurveda products and beauty products here.

 

Janet Jackson Weight Loss Explained: Her Diet and Exercise

Last winter, Janet Jackson had ballooned up to 180 pounds, and those trademark six pack abs seemed a thing of the past. But look at her now! In just four months, Jackson has shed an incredible 60 pounds and looks fantastic.

The Workout was designed by her trainer Tony. Tony’s workout has Janet doing legs twice a week (reverse lunges, good mornings, toe touches, and leg press pushing back at a 30-degree angle)

Upper body work twice a week (push-ups, pull-downs, chest flies, bicep and tricep supersets and shoulder lateral raises)

Three days of abs and 5-6 days of cardiovascular exercise (including kickboxing, basketball, tennis, baseball, jumping rope, and running)

she does legs twice a week (reverse lunges, good mornings, toe touches, and leg press pushing back at a 30-degree angle)

upper body work twice a week (push-ups, pull-downs, chest flies, bicep and tricet supersets and shoulder lateral raises)

three days of abs

and 5-6 days of cardiovascular exercise (including kickboxing, basketball, tennis, baseball, jumping rope, and running)

Janet Jackson’s weight loss explained:

Janet Jackson has been known for gaining weight to like 180 lbs (I am 130, lol! She used to be FAT!)

So how did she ended up losing all that fat and turned into a babe (almost!)

I would give credit to the awesome routine Tony Martinez set up for the blimb.

Legs: Twice a week

Reverse lunges, good mornings, toe touches, and leg press pushing back at a 30-degree angle

Upper body: Twice a week

push-ups, pull-downs, chest flies, bicep and tricep supersets and shoulder lateral raises

Abs: Thrice a week

And 5 days of cardio.

The cardio includes kickboxing, basketball, tennis, baseball, jumping rope and running.

Now how did this routine do such wonders?

The primary reason is that there was a good amount of rest involved leading to substantial lean muscle mass growth as the weights used were mostly bodyweight or lightweight.

Another thing to do noted was that the method of the workout was largely compound, compound workouts end up increasing functional strength and avoid bulk because compound workouts use more muscles and the range of motion involved is comparatively much more complicated.

Her Training in other note was not circuit entirely and not isolating any bodypart either, circuit training does lead to fat loss *entire body circuit training that is* but rarely ends up reinforcing lean muscle mass and if the weights are heavier than 50% of max capacity, ends up constantly breaking down muscle.

Her training was not fixed on muscle groups but something like Monday: Legs, Tuesday: Upper Body, Wednesday: Abs.

This leads to sufficient rest and the best part of her workout was the type of cardio.

As I have always suggested, cardio has to be really changing, if you want to get effects rather than simply taking your calories in minus, if you want a fat burning effect, you can simply keep your cardio very versatile

Janet Jackson’s cardio included kickboxing, basketball, tennis, baseball, jumping rope and running.

Now how does such a diverse cardio section help?

For starters it is impossible to get bored with such a set of routines, You are practically doing something entirely different in mechanics every day.

When the mechanics and muscles used/range of motion used changes so rapidly, the body has no time to adapt to it and keeps burning a lot of fat.

So can you have a routine like Janet Jackson’s?

Sure, just consult a dietician for a great diet too and keep going at it

Tips for the HCG Diet and Exercise

There are many people who may be confused when it comes to the HCG diet and exercise. Just how much should you exercise? What kind of exercise do you need to do for the diet to work? Here are some tips to better understand the HCG diet and exercise.

There is absolutely no need to do high-intensity workouts when on the HCG diet. In fact, these types of workouts are not recommended on the diet. When you are actually on the HCG doses and phase 2 of the diet, it may actually be dangerous to exercise in a high-intensity manner. This is because your body is already using so many calories from the stored fat in your body. So it is not recommended that you exercise because you burn even more calories at such a high rate. This can be dangerous, and if you do choose to do high-intensity workouts such as heavy weights, cardiovascular workouts like running or high-intensity step aerobics, or circuit training, you have to be aware that there is a possibility that you may pass out or become dehydrated rather quickly. Be sure that you constantly keep an eye on your heart rate and you drink plenty of water.

So what type of exercise is recommended on the HCG diet? Walking is great exercise on the HCG diet. Taking a mile or two walk several times a week on the diet is one of the best ways that you can properly be on the HCG diet and exercise safely. You should exercise caution when walking; there should be no problems, unlike if you were doing intense workouts like jogging.

Another great exercise that is recommended along with the HCG diet is yoga. Yoga is great for increasing strength and flexibility. It is also a wonderful way to make a mind and body connection and get your body back into balance, which is what the HCG diet is all about. Yoga is a great way to also build lean muscle and gain strength. The great thing about the HCG diet is that you will not lose muscle mass on the diet. You only burn fat. So, if you build up more lean muscle mass with yoga, when you lose the weight on the diet, you will be left with a tight and toned body instead of sagging skin. Yoga can be done several times a week on the HCG diet.

Although there seem to be some restrictions on the HCG diet and exercise, once you are off the daily doses of the hormones, you can continue with any type of exercise you please.

Your Diabetic Dog — Tips For Diet And Exercise

Do you know how important diet and exercise are in managing a diabetic dog? These two things alone can have a huge impact on regulating his blood sugar levels. Here are some tips for managing canine diabetes.

Pay Close Attention To Diet In Dogs With Diabetes

Instead of feeding your pet once a day, you’ll be giving him smaller meals two or three times a day to avoid blood sugar fluctuations. Smaller meals help keep his blood sugar levels stable, while one large meal a day will cause his blood sugar to spike, and then drop to dangerously lower levels twelve hours later.

Learn to read pet food labels. Diet is critical in regulating a pet with diabetes. Most dry dog foods and semi-moist foods, including the prescription diets your vet recommends, contain high levels of carbohydrates.

What’s wrong with carbohydrates? Your pet’s body breaks them down quickly into glucose, which causes a spike in blood sugar levels. Proteins and fats, on the other hand, are broken down into glucose much more slowly. This process feeds glucose into your pet’s bloodstream over several hours, instead of all at once. You can see that a diet that’s lower in carbohydrates and higher in protein is better for your pet.

If you feed dry food, try to find one that’s grain-free. A high-quality canned food that’s low in fat and high in fiber is probably the best choice for dogs with diabetes.

Exercise Tips For A Diabetic Dog

Exercise will help to keep your pet healthy, but you do need to be careful with a diabetic pet. Your pet’s activity levels affect his blood sugar levels.

The key is consistency. Your pet should be getting the same amount of exercise every day at the same time. Establish a routine so that he’s not out running at top speed for a half hour one day, and walking sedately for ten minutes the next. This sort of thing will wreak havoc with his blood sugar levels.

You’ll be amazed at how much of a difference a daily ten-minute walk will make in keeping your pet’s blood sugar regulated. Low-key activities, where your pet doesn’t start panting, are best. Walking or swimming are recommended exercises for dogs with diabetes.

You should always take a little Karo syrup with you on your daily jaunts. If your pet’s blood sugar levels should drop too low, you can rub some of the syrup on his gums to get those blood glucose levels back up where they belong.

Talk to your vet about setting up an exercise schedule for your pet.

Natural Remedies For Dogs Can Help To Prevent Canine Diabetes

Diabetes is on the rise in our pets, and the main reason is because they’re too fat. An obese canine has a much higher risk of developing diabetes than one whose weight is where it should be. If you love your pet, stop overfeeding him with the wrong foods.

Exercise is important to burn up excess calories and to keep your pet fit and trim. It’s also a natural way to regulate blood sugar levels in pets who don’t have diabetes.

Some pet owners are also using herbs and dietary supplements to prevent this condition. Research has shown that the herbs goat’s rue, fenugreek, and astragalus, along with the mineral chromium, are very effective in controlling blood sugar levels in pets.

Diabetes in dogs, with all its complications, can be prevented. Don’t let your pet become a victim of this disease. Protect your canine companion by learning more about natural remedies for dogs now, while this is fresh on your mind.
