How to Lose 5 Pounds in 1 Week - Quick and Healthy?

Are you, just like I was, misled by the eye-catching headlines about diets that says – Lose X pounds in little or no time? Of course you are, but why? Does it make any sense to believe that you could lose 10 pounds of fat in a week when you know that it can’t be done, at least not in a healthy way?





In this article I will show you that there actually are ways to lose weight fast but that it is not healthy for you. We could make a deal, well, it is you that have to make a deal with yourself. I will show you a method that guarantees a weight loss of at least 5 pounds per week in the healthiest way (not meaning that it is healthy but better than lots of other diets) and you will also learn why a superfast weight loss is dangerous to your health and the do’s and don’ts in fast weight loss.





First, as promised, the fast weight loss diet: This diet is composed to speed up your metabolism and it must be followed exactly. You may not use any spices except salt and peppers. It is important to remember to drink a lot of water, preferably water that is isotonic, meaning that it has added minerals that make it chemically look like you body fluids. To give this diet a boost be sure to do some cardio exercising to speed up the fat burning process.





Here is the menu:





Day 1:


Breakfast: ½ grapefruit, 1 toast (no butter), 2 teaspoons of peanut-butter


Lunch: 5 fl oz of tuna-fish, 1 toast.


Dinner: 3 oz beef (lean), 10 fl oz green beans, 10 fl oz beetroot, 1 small apple, 10 fl oz vanilla ice-cream





Day 2:


Breakfast: 1 boiled egg, 1 toast, ½ banana


Lunch: 10 fl oz cottage cheese, 5 salty crackers


Dinner: 2 hot dogs, 10 fl oz broccoli, 5 fl oz carrots, 5 fl oz banana, 5 fl oz vanilla ice-cream





Day 3:


Breakfast: 1 boiled egg, 1 toast


Lunch: 5 slices of cheddar-cheese, 5 salty crackers, 1 small apple


Dinner: 10 fl oz tuna-fish(conserved in water), 10 fl oz beetroot, 10 fl oz cauliflower, 5 fl oz honey melon, 5 fl oz vanilla ice-cream.





Like mentioned before it is very important to follow this diet like it is written above, if it is altered in any way it may not work for you.





Now you will learn why this diet is not healthy. First of all it makes you lose weight faster than the body can burn fat. Even if you drink a lot, the weight loss will consist of 20fat, 40water and 40lean muscle. So let’s say that you lost 5 pounds, according to the percentage above you lost 1 pound of fat, 2 pounds of water weight and 2 pounds of lean muscle. Did you want to lose that much muscle? Probably not. All of the diets making you lose more than 1-2 pounds per week will burn your muscle mass for energy.





Now, why is that? The body saves the fat stored in your body for a rainy day (starvation period) and if you are on a diet and don’t exercise and use your muscle to the fullest extent your body figures that the muscle is not necessary to save and it will start using it for energy.





The diet above could be executed once a week but it will not give you a long-lasting weight loss. To lose weight for good you have to compose your menu to have the right amount of protein, the right kinds of fat and some great carbs. Those three nutrients cover our total calorie intake. To be a successful dieter(meaning that the fat is burnt and not the muscle) you should reduce your calorie intake by 10-20and increase your calorie consumption, and how do you do that? Well, you have to start exercising and do some weight-lifting.





Now you know how to lose weight fast (I guarantee that the menu above works) so stop looking for any more fast weight loss diets. You also know why a fast weight loss is only a temporary weight loss and most important, you know that there are no shortcuts to get rid of those extra pounds. It is really a really easy equation: (Calorie intake) – (Calorie burnt) = weight loss/gain. Simple? Yes! But it is not that easy to achieve because it requires some fundamental change of attitude to foods, exercise and body.





If you decides to go on the diet explained, do so as a life-saver for now, but stop procrastinating and start to lose weight the right way after this panic-fast weight loss.





This article is merely an introduction, but if you are still reading you have taken the first steps towards a healthier lifestyle.





Congratulations!

Baguio City

            We live in different communities found in different places. It’s not hard to love a place where you were born and grew up in. Simply because you get used to the culture and the lifestyle of the place. But in Baguio you’ll love the place because here it’s so peaceful and so cool. Peaceful because during elections almost all parts of the country, people are killing each other just to get a spot in the government but in Baguio politicians talk and debate it out. I’m not saying it’s the best city in the Philippines, but I guess its one of the best vacation spots during summer because of its cool climate.

             Baguio’s cool climate is due to its location in the mountains. Due to Baguio’s cold weather we sometimes experience thick fog formations and some visitors ask locals “are we in heaven?” .Well I don’t even know the answer to the question cause I don’t really know how fogs are formed and the fog became normal to me. Baguio offers stuff like strawberry jams and peanut brittle. Although strawberry isn’t really the product of Baguio but La Trinidad, some people I know from NCR still think that Baguio and La Trinidad is just one city. Baguio now has bloomed to become one of the best cities in the Philippines we are very well known by our festival “Panagbenga” or in english the blooming of flowers. Panagbenga is the best festivity in Baguio. It all starts with a street dancing parade followed by a float parade. Then after the parades Session Road, which is Baguio’s central business district, closes for a week to let business men from all parts of the country to sell their stuff and profit from it but the it is encourage to sell products that are made from Baguio and theme of the whole festival which is the blooming, so it is encourage by the officials of the event that people sell plants. Other events are multiple concerts and competitions.

            But it’s not  about the festivities and Baguio’s fame that I like in the community. What I cherish most about this community is there love for their culture. People in the Philippines are naturally humble but love for culture is another thing. Although little by little culture is being destroyed by technological advancements. Some children from the native families in the Cordilleras still love to learn about there culture. Well Baguio is really a nice place to visit. So sometime in your future come and visit my city. I hope you enjoy your stay. n_n

Lightning

I love to see the lightning crossing across the dark sky. It's something feared by most and some are amazed by it. I’m amazed by it because it only happens rarely in my town. Seeing light cut the sky in half is amazing. Then after the light show a burst of strong energy is felt around my body and it is an amazing, relaxing and exciting feeling. Lightnings are one of the most beautiful things that happen around us. It’s so beautiful and dangerous as the same time. My late grandfather believes that lightnings are earthly elements. He used to tell my mom and aunt’s that a lightnings true form is like a ball of electricity that hover on the ground and they have teeth. He said that if people are bitten by this electrical element that we would get fried and die. I somehow believe in it because in some parts of the world people see electrical spheres that hover on the earth during a lightning storm. Some even see them on planes so I somehow believe there’s a truth in it. Anyway I love lightning cause it gives me an adrenaline rush and its amazes me.

Ahhhh Love

(A personal point of view)

I’m a licensed driver and I can pretty much drive the safest way. Love for me is no different from driving. No U-turns cause you can’t go back to make the wrong things right. No overtaking cause it’s very dangerous and you might be endangering the lives of your passengers. No over speeding cause it’s against the law and it’s not safe. Don’t ever forget to wear your seat belt it’s a life saver.

Make sure your vehicle is fit for transport. Check breaks to make sure it’s still working. Check for gas cause you need this to keep moving. But most importantly don’t ever forget to let your passengers in this ride. Love is not a one man journey it involves people you love, family and friends. They are your passengers so take care of them, never leave them behind, let them bring those who they want to bring, offer them drinks and stuff that are important in long journeys, make them comfortable, provide a transportation that would fit everyone important, and keep them all safe from harm. From my own point off view that’s how love works. Have a nice journey through life. Smile n_n

Jo’s caregiver training

            Jo stopped working as a internet café attendant because his mom wanted him to train as a caregiver. Jo enrolled in one of the best training centers in there town and waited for his training to start. First day of classes he didn’t know anyone else. He saw people who are younger than him and people who are a lot older than him. They were all ask to stand and go in front of the class to tell something about themselves. Jo went in front and he told something about himself, his accomplishments, the university he graduated from and his residence.

            During the first month of his training Jo had a hard time learning cause it was a whole new field. He was a graduate in the computer field and had a hard time memorizing all the medical terms. He eventually caught up with the class and was getting used to his new chosen field.

            During the mids of Jo’s training he enjoyed his classes but couldn’t help to cut classes cause it’s a 6 hour per day training and was very exhausting. Jo’s got moral support from his girlfriend and did a great job. Jo’s and his class then had a red cross training. Jo got two id’s from red cross and was proud because not everyone got two id’s. After that there were fire drill, rappelling and swimming. Jo past these activities and enjoyed them. At the end of the training they were required to have an OJT in a hospital and private medical institutions were Jo past as well.

Nothing is really hard if we just believe in ourselves and our abilities. Friends and love ones are always there to help us and support us. ~JO
