Palm Desert, CA (openPR) July 4 March 2008

JJ Virgin, Ph.D., co-author of “The art of losing!” are the 7 reasons to lose weight, 4 July lose. Millions of Americans will fight back to the fourth, relax and celebrate by indulging in potato salad, ribs and cupcakes. Of course, as the 4th is a Friday, chances are high that this indulgence will be rescheduled to a weekend of spectator sports, movies and food of the party. The 4th July is one of the best days to lose weight and start your new resolution. Think of it as a day of mid-year the new year of further elements, so you continue.

1 The weather is hot! No reunion with you and come for great weather, great opportunities for outdoor sports, hiking, swimming, etc. You have friends come over, get the chairs, a football and go out the bottom. It’s not a big “bowl” day, so you have no excuse for spectators in part.

2 Great natural desserts are available. There is nothing better than summer fruits, and most of them have a low sugar reaction and are full of fiber and phytochemicals (plant nutrients). Skip the dessert plates and serve instead of a fruit salad. You can then sweetened with a touch of coconut or sliced almonds.

3 You are thirsty! Okay, has turned Mother Nature something a little bit -. We have a very sensitive appestat “but our thirst mechanism is low you should know at least 8 glasses of water a day (helps flush out toxins, keeps bloating, holds stress hormones), but if it 30 degrees outside can be to motivate a little hard. Not so, if it is 100 degrees! Supercharge your fluid requirements by adding a few cups of green tea as well (the unsweetened kind, if you get one with fruit essences, it is natural sweet), it will stimulate your metabolism and balance your mood.

4 Relax! Stress is grenade in the war on weight. Chronic stress leads to eliminate muscle in your body (critical to keeping your metabolism to burn more calories all day) to store more fat, and it also raises the set point to burn them back. Join the weekend 3 days to relax, have fun and bring your stress hormones back into balance.

5 You can sleep! The studies are clear, always less than the recommended 9.8 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night (even one hour less) can lead to weight gain. If you 7 hours or less sleep or wake during the night you’re hungry, less energetic, you raise your stress hormones and are less sensitive to insulin. This means you to be better to store fat, the calories you eat, rather than burning it as fuel as hungry, thirsty and more carbohydrates.

6 Salads are main courses. If it’s cold outside, we want comfort food. If it is hot, we do things that are fresh and light and a salad with protein added are a great main course option. A caveat here, just because it’s a salad, it will not automatically health promoting. Focus on a variety of non-starchy vegetables and greens, clean lean protein like chicken or fish and a light dressing of olive oil and vinegar with fresh herbs.

7th You have to go to the Grill! Grilling your food is a great way to add flavor without adding fat. Make your own marinades by experimenting with fresh herbs, vinegars and extra virgin olive oil seasoned. The obvious terms to throw on the grill are chicken and fish, but you can expand your offerings by marinating thick slices of non starchy vegetables and add them to the mixture. These can then be chopped and added to salads, in your morning omelet or served as a side dish-hot or very cold!

Celebrate your independence in the fattening food and bad living habits and the use of this 4th July weekend to jump start your resolve.
