A brief about calorie shifting diet plan

September 10th, 2011 Rosn Dhakal

Many people who have opted for calorie shifting diet have claimed to lost weight. This diet is commonly known as Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet and it is popular among people who want to lose weight. People who opt for this diet can lose weight without having to starve because you lose weight by shifting calories. So one day if you eat more calories the next day you can eat less. This diet gives you an opportunity to eat a variety of dishes every day by changing your menu pan depending on your weight, weight and BMI score. Today, many people are shifting to this diet after trying out several fad diets.

Even though Fat Loss 4 Idiots has been around for several years, the plan is becoming popular after several dietician introduced variations of this plan. When you shift to this diet plan, you can eat 4 to 6 meals a day. Calorie shifting diet plan works by constantly changing the rate at which the body burns calories. Another benefit of this diet plan is that it does not require you to eat exotic food to lose weight. This diet requires you to eat everyday foods that you can buy from your neighbourhood grocery store.

This diet plan works by continuously changing your calorie intake, thereby confusing the body and preventing it to adapt to one type of diet. By changing your calorie intake, the metabolism rate of body increases which helps in faster breakdown of food into energy. When you eat more, the body raises its metabolism level to digest the food. However, when you eat less food the next day, the high metabolism rate of the body helps in burning fat. Your body is not aware of the food you eat and the calories that you food contains. The metabolism rate of the body is adjusted to certain level and will remain constant unless you change your exercise routine or eat less food for several days.

When you do heavy exercise and have high calorie diet or if you don’t do any exercise and eat low calorie food, the metabolism rate of the body will become stagnant. After a few months your metabolism rate will reach a plateau and will not change even if you change your exercise routine. If you visit a trainer or dietician, they will change your diet and exercise routine to kick start a change in your body’s metabolism rate.

Many people who have opted for this diet plan have claimed to lose up to 10 pounds in the first 12 days of the plan. After losing about 10 pounds, you can lose anywhere between 20 to 25 percent of your total body weight. The average weight that a person can expect to lose is about 1 to 2 pounds a week. This will continue till you change your diet plan or achieve maximum weight lose.

How Casein Protein Power can Help in Bodybuilding

June 23rd, 2011 Rosn Dhakal

I have many friends that workout regularly and have a high protein diet but are unhappy because they don’t get the desired results. Recently when one of my friends Steve, who came home for dinner was unhappy because he had tried many products but was disappointed because most products did not help him in building his muscle tissues. Many of the products he tried made false promises and did not help in solving his problem. The products that used only increased his body weight and did not help him in developing his muscle tissues.

I wanted to help Steve and took him to my family dietitian. After listening to Steve, my dietitian told Steve that before taking any protein power it is important to analyze one’s body structure. He explained that Steve was taking 100% whey protein powder which did not suit his body. My dietician explained that whey protein power is ideal for people who are looking to rebuild their muscles after their workout. However, since Steve body was not able to absorb the protein, he suggested that Steve could use products that contained Micellar casein.

Micellar casein protein is ideal for people who have slow protein absorption power. It is a generic name that is given to a protein that is found in dairy products. Casein protein contains amino acids that are essential for building and repairing damaged muscle tissues. Since Steve’s had a protein absorption rate, the affect the whey protein would drop off in a few hours. However, since casein protein is a slow releasing protein, it will help him build his muscle tissues without affecting his body.

The biological value of a nutrient is an indicator of the number of amino acids that will be used by the body. The biological value of casein protein is 77, which is much lower than the biological value of egg protein and whey protein. However, the biological value of the nutrient must not be the only factor that you must consider in a nutrient. Casein protein power has several other benefits that other products don’t have. For instance, casein protein power has the highest glutamine content that can help body builders gain weight and build their muscle tissues. Products that have high glutamine content also help in strengthening the immune system of the body. Another benefit of casein protein powder is that its absorption rate is high which improves the efficiency of the product.
