Cooking Holiday Turkey

Turkey is a very healthy meat choice.  It is considered one of the top super foods by many food experts because it is nutrient-dense and low in saturated fats compared to other holiday choices.  When cooking  holiday turkey most people tend to surround it with over-abundance and over-indulgent foods.   This cookbook includes recipes to make your entire holiday dinner fun, fast and also healthy.

Turkey Breast vs Turkey Thigh

Here are some turkey quick tips:

• Turkey breast is only 2 calories less than turkey thighs per ounce when you remove the skin, so if you like dark meat then enjoy it!
• The optimum size turkey to buy is 15 to 16 pounds.  After that your bone to meat ratio goes up. Your price for the edible portion increases because you are paying for more bone.
• Most people overcook turkey.  Cook your turkey to 155-160 degrees and then let it “rest” for 30 minutes before cutting.  The heat that is in it continues to cook it after it comes out of the oven.

How To Lose Weight

How To Lose Weight Fast

Losing weight is simple; Burn more calories than you consume.

Simple does not always mean fast and easy, though. If it was that fast or easy we would not have a population of overweight people. It is not as difficult as we think it is although there are no quick fixes. The belief that weight loss has to be a struggle leads people to do something drastic to achieve the results they want. Fast diet fads or extreme diets, pills or those weird fitness gadgets on infomercials that promise fast weight loss are not the answer.

The Secret Of How To Lose Weight

The real secret to weight loss is to make small changes every day. You’ll slowly but surely lose those extra pounds. The key is to focus on progress rather than perfection. You did not get this way overnight and you will not return to optimum health overnight either. The real secret is consistently and continuously making small changes that you can keep doing for the rest of your life.

How To Lose Weight Fast Naturally

There are no real fast weight loss solutions. The best way to lose weight and keep it off is to do it naturally. To lose one pound of fat, you must burn approximately 3500 calories over and above what you already burn doing daily activities. That sounds like a lot of calories and you certainly wouldn’t want to try to burn 3500 calories in one day. However, by making one-day-at-a-time small changes that are natural for your body, you can burn those extra calories. Steps that are natural and follow a systematic approach to weight loss will assist you to lose weight naturally. Although it may not be fast, it will last forever.

Step By Step How To Lose Weight And Keep It Off

Losing weight takes effort, and putting time into figuring out the necessary steps is time well spent. These 4 steps will set you up for weight loss. www.MyPyramid.gov is one of the best websites to use as a resource when you want to lose weight and keep it off. The following steps may be calculated at the MyPyramid website to set you up for success.

• Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate). Your BMR, basal metabolic rate, is what your body needs to maintain normal functions like breathing and digestion. You can calculate your BMR using a BMR calculator. This is the minimum number of calories you need to eat each day to stay alive. These calculators are just estimates.

• Calculate your activity calories burned. Keep a exercise journal for a week, then enter the info into the physical activity calculator at www.MyPyramid.gov ito figure out how many calories you burned in a week long period.

• Keep track of how many calories you eat. In your journal, log a week’s worth of eating then go to the  www.MyPyramid.gov website.

• Calculate the calories: Take your BMR number, add your activity calories, then subtract your food calories from that total. If you’re eating more than you’re burning, (your BMR + activity is 2000 and you’re eating 2400 calories) you’ll gain weight. If you’re burning more than you eat, you’ll lose weight.

Example:
Let’s say your BMR is 1400 calories and you burn 900 calories in daily activity with regular exercise, walking around and doing household chores. To maintain your current weight, you should be eating 2300 calories. After keeping a food journal, you find that you are eating 2550 calories every day. By eating 250 more calories than you burn on a continuous daily basis you will gain 2 pounds per month. That is how easy it is to gain weight without even knowing it.

How To Help Lose Weight

Once you understand this, it is easier to help yourself to lose weight. Small daily changes that you can keep up on a long term basis will do more for your continued weight loss than major changes that you can not stick with. You can start by making small changes in your diet and activity levels so that you can immediately start burning more calories than you’re eating. When you eat 500 less calories per day, you will burn 3500 more calories per week than you consume and therefore will lose one pound per week. Now your weight is going in the right direction! (One pound is 3500 calories.)

How To Lose Weight Eating

Eating to lose weight is not that hard. By just shaving 500 calories a day every day, you will reduce your weight consistently by 4 pounds per month. Eating to lose weight by making better food choices and adding small exercise changes to your life consistently will ensure that you consume less calories than you burn.

• Instead of soda, have water and save 95 calories.
• Walk 10 minutes in the morning and burn 100 calories.
• Eat whole wheat toast with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter instead of an Egg McMuffin and consume 180 less calories.
• Eat an apple instead of cake for a snack and save 150 calories.

Wow! That was easy! Eating and exercising to lose weight is simple. Stop trying to do it fast and start to make small changes every day that will keep your weight going in the right direction.

4 Weight Loss Foods To Eliminate Belly Fat

Lose Belly Fat

When on a weight loss program, sometimes the best way to lose weight is to add things to your diet instead of taking away. These four foods have been proven to assist in weight loss specifically around your belly so if you want to eliminate belly fat, ADD these 4 foods to your diet.

Blueberries: Compounds found in the skin of blueberries have been shown to “turn on” the fat-burning genes. Eating a cup of blueberries per day may result in losing belly fat more quickly than consuming other fruits.

Green Tea: People who drink green tea are reported to participate in more or longer periods of excercise than non-tea drinkers. In addition, researchers believe that the green tea also stimulates the bodies “flight or fight” reflex, and that in turn alters fat storage.

Dried Fruit: A tablespoon or two of dried fruit added to your oatmeal or salad helps to fight off obesity. The sweetness satisfies the desire for dessert or refined carbs and reduces your overall portion size.

Whole Grains: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that dieters who eat 5 servings of whole grains per day lost twice as much stomach fat as those who ate processed grains. High fiber foods burn more calories during digestion, as well as help the body flush out toxins.

A healthy diet includes whole, natural foods. When you use a whole food weight loss program and lose weight naturally, you will never have to go on another diet again.
