The Healthy Weight Loss Diet - Eat Right To Get Your Dream Body

It seems as if each new day brings a new scientific study pointing towards the benefits of losing extra fat. Couple this with the social pressure one feels to lose weight and look like the Hollywood types, and it is not hard to understand why there is so much interest in looking thin.

Health experts generally recommend eating a healthy and balanced diet to lose extra weight. But what exactly constitutes a healthy weight loss diet? An ideal diet for losing weight should be made up of between 45% to 65% carbohydrates, 10% to 35% protein, and 20% to 35% fat.

When carbohydrates are broken down in the body they take on the form of glucose. Glucose sugar is the primary source of energy for every activity the body takes on. Between 45% — 65% of your calories should be derived from carbohydrates. Virtually all foods contain some amount of carbohydrates, thus the choices available are abundant.

To lose weight, you should eat more nutrient rich carbohydrate containing foods uch as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. Foods such as colas, fruit drinks, candy, and cookies, which do not contain any significant amount of nutrients should be avoided. These foods are often described as containing empty calories.

Proteins play an equally vital role in all the body’s functions. Proteins are the single largest contributor to helping our immune system and hormonal systems function. Additionally, they are the essential building blocks for most of the bodies tissues, such as the skin, muscles, and the internal organs. As with carbohydrates, proteins are found in nearly all foods. However, not all protein sources are created equal. When attempting to lose weight, you should strive to obtain the majority of your protein from foods like fish, poultry, eggs, cheese, nuts, and lean red meat. The government recommended amount of daily protein intake is equal to roughly .35 g of protein per pound.

Let’s not forget about fats. It may surprise you to read that the body requires 20% to 35% of its daily calories from fat. There are different types of fat, however, and you must be careful to strictly limit the types of food that contain fat varieties that pack the pounds.

Foods such as processed meats, butter, lard, cream, whole milk dairy produ
1000
cts, ice cream, and many processed grain foods contain what is known as saturated fat. Saturated fat is especially harmful to the body because it can build up in the arteries and contribute to a number of diseases. It is recommended that a mere 10% of your daily calories come from saturated fats. Trans-fats are even more harmful. Generally derived from foods containing hydrogenated oils (be sure to check the ingredient labels at the store) the current recommendation for intake of trans-fats is zero. To achieve the optimal balance of fat in your diet, include foods such as peanuts, walnuts, almonds, avocado, canola and olive oil, salmon and other fatty fish, and sunflower oils.

If you are overweight, changing to a healthy weight loss diet is perhaps the most important thing you can do. Not only will you improve your health, but you’ll look and feel better too! Following a few simple guidelines, such as the advice given above, can bring you a long way towards eating right to look right.

Diabetic Diets For Dummies

Type 2 diabetics call us every day, asking about the foods and beverages they should be consuming to lower their blood sugar and weight levels.

The truth is, most doctors tell patients they have diabetes or pre-diabetes and recommend ‘diet and exercise’, but few give sufferers of this disease any direction on what to eat and what not to eat.

The primary goal of diabetic diets is to get within your target blood glucose or sugar range.

Target blood sugar levels are generally 70-130 before meals and less than 180, one to two hours after the start of a meal.

What you eat, the medicines your doctor prescribes and your exercise levels determine blood sugar.

The types of foods you choose to get the most out of your diabetes diet. Here’s a general rule of thumb to follow:

If you are a woman, you should try to stay within 1,200 to 2,000 calories a day. These calories should come from 6-8 starch foods, 2 milks, 3-4 vegetables, 2-3 fruits and 3-4 fats.

If you are a man, your caloric consumption should be in the 2,000-2,400 range, coming from 10 starches, 2 milks, 4 vegetables, 5-7 ounces of meat, 4 fruits and 4-5 fats.

A lot of people are unsure about what a starch is. Starches are potatoes, pasta, cereal, grains, pretzels, rice, crackers, beans, tortillas, yams, lentils and corn.

It’s recommended that you seek out complex carbohydrates like whole grains starches - they have more fiber, minerals and vitamins than short grain starches.

Examples of vegetables include lettuce, vegetable juice, spinach, peppers, carrots, green beans, tomatoes and cabbage. It’s best if you eat as many vegetables raw and uncooked.

Fruit provides carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and fiber to your diet, with examples such as apples, grapefruit, peaches, berries, bananas, oranges, canned fruit and mangos.

Like vegetables, fruit is best eaten raw and uncooked and in smaller portions (much fruit contains high sugar levels).

Milk adds carbohydrates, protein, calcium, vitamins and minerals to your diet.

It’s recommended that you drink fat-free or skim milk.

Meat portions include meat, poultry, eggs, cheese, fish and tof
1000
u. These provide protein, vitamins and minerals. Because of their high fat content, smaller portions are suggested.

Fats should be consumed in small amount because of the high fat content and high calories. Fats include butter, margarine, mayonnaise, olives, bacon cram cheese olive oil and salad dressings.

Regarding alcohol, it’s suggested that you talk with your doctor before consuming wine, beer or spirits. They have no nutrients and can cause your blood sugar levels to go too low.

In addition to watching and controlling your starches, fruit, vegetables, fat, milk and alcohol intake, it’s also suggested that you drink plenty of water (8 glasses a day) and drink clear liquids (such as ginger ale if you can’t eat your normal foods for any reason).

This basic description of diabetic diets will give you a general approach to a healthier lifestyle. For more information, you can also contact the Association of Diabetes Educators or Recognized Diabetes Education Programs.

Making Homemade Carp Fishing Baits And The Power Of Addictive Ingredients!

Nut, seed and pulse baits for carp have always been outstanding. With so many carp anglers using mollusc and crustacean, fish, and meat and poultry product-based baits (among many others so popular today,) why not try a nut based homemade bait or ground bait instead? Read on to discover more about how to drive your carp wild!

One of the simplest ways to make a nut bait is to make a 50:50 semolina and soya base mix and add your nut ingredients and additives to this. Ccmoore soya is a very impressive 45 percent protein and teamed with their full-fat (yellow) semolina will provide more nutritional attraction than lesser products which could be of dubious age. Two of the most well proven carp bait nut ingredients are tiger nut meal and roasted peanut meal (technically tiger nuts are not actually nuts but nut sedge tubers.) The options for making endless forms of unique nut baits are very exciting, and offer many varied effects, special nutritional properties and other beneficial characteristics.

You could perhaps try beginning by using any bait mix with around 50 percent or more of nut ingredients. Technically speaking, nuts are not as ideal for carp nutritionally as many other ingredients and additives like LT94 fish meal for instance, but they have many factors that fishmeal does not contain. Apart from digestible proteins, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals and soluble and insoluble fibre etc provided by various nuts, why not look at the bioactive substances in such items. Have a good look at anything from peanuts and almonds, to pistachio nuts, Brazil nuts, hazel nuts, sweet lupins (seeds,) tiger nuts and many others, and see if you can spot the more attractive special and unique substances they offer to us humans - and to Mr Carp too that directly and indirectly make us both like them so much!

It is a good point to consider that we humans are long-lost descendants of carp which belong to the ancient group of teleost fish. We share many biological and physiological aspects with carp, which relate to us both in regards to effective food components and fishing baits although this does not mean our severely dull
1000
ed air-based senses and perceptions are the same as carp in water although in many structural and biochemical ways so similar; as in taste buds and taste adaptation for instance!)

You might save a fortune and make a basic soya flour and semolina base mix with your nut ingredients plus eggs to help binding, or perhaps add additional CLO, egg albumin and whey gel, or even add just little wheat gluten for instance. Of course for those wishing for a more nutritious and more digestible bait, very many options and combinations are possible to create a bait totally unique to yourself. For example, with the addition of Vitamealo, sodium or calcium caseinate, lactalbumin or whey protein concentrate, soya isolate, caseins, enzyme-treated yeast, corn steep liquor powder, various predigested fish proteins and so on.

How many anglers might think to combine predigested fish protein with tiger nut meal for instance; with tiger nut extract and tiger nut oil, instead of trout and halibut pellet oil or pure salmon oil for instance? Why not experiment for yourself and discover many edges and tricks that provide you with more of the kind of great competitive bait breakthroughs that many anglers just dependant on cheap ordinary readymade baits straight from the bag (and halibut pellets,) would never dream of?!

The Ccmoore bird food ingredients including Sweet Meggablend and Meggablend Red, the gritty maize protein product Supergold 60 (60 percent digestible protein and nutritionally good enough to replace fish meals,) are just a sample of excellent ideal additions to nut based baits. You can turn your baits into a really unusual and different ones by combining some more diverse various nutritionally valuable and very attractive ingredients which you may not have heard of used in combination before. For example using crushed tiger nuts, tiger nut flour and crushed hemp and adding krill meal, spirulina powder, vanilla extract meal with and tuna oil and over 100 millitres of Salmon and Krill extract per pound of bait for instance.

If you want to cut your costs you can use maize meal or maize flour for up to half your bait to bulk it up. Carp love maize all year round even in winter, despite it not being the most nutritional nor digestible ingredient for cheap bait bulking-up applications; but it simply works! (It does naturally contain betaine and other bioactive antioxidants among other important factors.) I find using maize meal in combination with full fat semolina produces a bait that is easier to roll if cost is really an issue, however I would very much prefer to use highly nutritionally attractive ingredients with far more to turn carp on. When budgets are tight though, maize products make excellent crumbled free baits; especially when boosted with liquid foods like Ccmoore Feedstim XP which is an amazing nutritional feed triggering substance – and not just for carp either!

For more nutritionally stimulating ingredients than just semolina or maize, maybe use pure liver powder, poultry protein meal, or calcium and sodium caseinates and blood powder, lactalbumin and whey protein concentrate for example. Egg albumin is a great highly nutritional binder and is often used in a fifty percent combination with whey gel. I personally find that when I hand roll my hook baits and make them very dense by lots of rolling, often my baits get harder and heavier and my carp have to work harder to suck them to the back of their mouths; and my catches improve when compared alongside many popular readymade baits! Do not forget you can make harder (or softer) hook baits using such techniques and ingredients, by adding them to great base mixes like the legendary Ccmoore Odyssey XXX, Meteor and the really addictive Live System mix (which is now a big favourite of mine!)

Wheat gluten is a another well proven binder where bait digestibility is less important and of course, with such effective binding ingredients you will find it much easier to use more coarse ground nuts, hemp, and
1000
kelp ingredients for instance to make baits with truly unique textures, practical resiliency but with excellent leak-offs too! The milk powder products Vitamealo and Lamlac are very useful in aiding binding and soya isolate is another high-protein ingredient I have found really works over decades of bait making.

Ccmoore pre-ground CLO is an outstandingly proven attractive nutritional bird food based ingredient that helps bind other ingredients together and with a great track record; ideal for cheap but effective homemade mixes. (You can include perhaps up to 8 ounces of Ccmoore CLO per pound of dry mix. If you use semolina it is a good idea to use only up to 7 ounces of semolina per pound of dry mix and ensure you improve the nutritional attraction of your bait intrinsically by adding other choice additives and ingredients.

With cheap semolina and soya base mixes why not add as Robin Red, corn steep liquor powder, vanilla extract meal, molasses meal, Ccmoore dried insect meal and shrimp type products for instance. Of course the old favourite shrimp powder is well proven but krill meal is a seriously potent ingredient and when teamed with Marine Amino compound and the simply awesome (soon to be legendary) Ccmoore Salmon and Krill extract liquid, you will not go far wrong!

The choice of bait ingredients and additives is bewildering until you get to know a little more about just how potent they are and how they can seriously enhance stimulatory impacts upon carp senses (directly and indirectly,) and even exploit individual fish preferences of taste, smell and dietary needs. A natural-product based bait will keep on catching far more successfully than a cheap bait which is not a lot more than a simple flavour-carrier; the difference between a highly nutritionally stimulating bait and a high-attract type carrier bait is just massive.

In fact I can state with certainty that a nutritionally stimulating carp bait that is exploiting as many of the carp senses and behaviours as possible will well and truly out-fish an instance high-attract concentrated flavour bait again and again if you are an average week-end angler! In fact it is more often the case on very much pressured waters that high attract baits can be known to fail almost completely to get a bite when fished against nutritionally stimulating baits by average anglers.

I used to fish cheap semolina and soya based baits with a variety of variously based concentrated flavours for years and flavours obviously do work very well with these and similar low nutritional value baits, although I would boost nutritional attraction in various ways, usually with liquid foods. But I frequently caught smaller fish compared to those I caught on my nutritionally-based baits. Indeed, I believe you need to be a more talented or knowledgeable and skilled angler to really exploit high-attract baits when in competition with exceptional quality nutritional value baits.

I was catching many good twenties on single or double pop-up fluorescent white hook baits fished on their own without free baits at long range, back in the mid 1980’s. But I fished like this for tactical reasons (fish location and away from heavily pressured areas among other reasons.) However right up to today I find I catch far more fish over a bed of crumbed nutritional boilies that have been pre-soaked and packed with soluble liquids and additives of the kinds that carp naturally find in their aquatic environment. These liquids and other substances are predominantly ones that carp are very easily able to detect even in lower concentrations due to the specialised evolution of their internal and external receptors, and which carp are drawn to instinctively.

You might find milk peptides unusual in this regard, but these are not so different -even if carp need help in digesting various milk products; carp obviously find them very attractive! Lactose is a milk sugar composed of galactose and glucose and of course plants use glucose as
de7
an energy storage medium. I think glucose and other sugar foods are instant energy hits that carp enjoy and various milk derivatives still contain lactose which will improve the eating experience! Many anglers forget carp also naturally consume aquatic vegetation to supply their essential energy and nutritional nutrient requirements and that molasses and betaine come from sugar-providing beets and canes.

Often I will include sugars not simply to aid bait palatability to encourage repeated bait consumption and an instant energy hit, (sugar is addictive – fact,) but to naturally encourage aquatic molluscs such as snails and many forms of benthic life towards my ground baits and free baits and another great reason to use Ccmoore fructose concentrate!

There are obviously many proven carp feeding triggers identified and exploited by us carp anglers and in aquaculture and many others yet to be identified in known fields such as health and body-building and the pharmaceutical industry and in the human and pet food and drug industries etc. The vast majority of true carp feeding triggers are found as naturally intrinsic components of the most nutritious (and the most digestible) natural foods in the carp environment. For instance, would it be any surprise to find that carp themselves are fairly rich in betaine (we are too!?)

With soya and semolina type homemade baits you really need to add extra feeding triggers and palatability factors that will encourage further intensive feeding behaviours. Carp feeding is a progressive series of modes of feeding and levels of intensities which can be encouraged by our bait substances - starting off with simple carp gulping and filter-feeding, before particulate feeding and then progressing on to larger items not filtered by the pharyngeal teeth, but broken down in the throat teeth themselves after passing through the mouth.

It has been proven that in the mouth betaine is an especially potent inducer of repeated food consumption (and Ccmoore super pure betaine of 97 percent purity is an obviously effective example of this additive.) Very many more carp ingredients and additives contain betaine than the majority of carp anglers appreciate. In one bait you might have nearly every ingredient containing at least low levels of it – and in different forms apart from the commonest glycine betaine form.

On a related point a really hush hush additive is the Ccmoore squid flesh meal, and the new Ccmoore squid liver extract; both are up there with the legends like Robin Red and Minamino and these days are perhaps even better edges! Enzyme-treated liver powder is another excellent additive as is enzyme-treated yeast powder as is predigested fish protein powder; the powerhouse of nutritional attraction found in so many of those high-oil halibut pellets for instance!

Pellets designed for fish other than carp often have higher levels of lipids than carp require and fish such as trout and salmon have a higher energy requirement in regards to lipids, therefore their feeds reflect this need. Wels catfish have a higher metabolic rate per degree in temperature increase than carp and the comparatively enormous energy value of lipids mean they respond very well to higher levels of lipids in homemade baits designed for them! Having caught thirty catfish between 60 to 110 pounds in the UK on such homemade baits rich in these (and other substances that support or even encourage high metabolic rates,) I can say
219
lipids are extremely important. The Ccmoore marine amino compound is an especially interesting and effective liquid additive among others; such as the highly stimulating Ccmoore Red Venom liquid!

On a personal level based on my own perceptions as a human (and many multiples of thousands of times less sensitive than carp senses) I recommend the lactose concentrate B plus product from Ccmoore among many of their others, because it hits my senses and does not let go! This indicates to me that it is literally taking hold
1000
of my sensory receptors internally and making me feel hungry very directly via my biofeedback! (Bear in mind this is merely smelling a powder additive in air where particles pass over my olfactory cells in my nose, and not even in solution (i.e. when mixed with water and in contact with carp sensory cells directly!)

This just shows how potently impactful some carp bait substances really are in very low concentrations; hot chilli powders and turmeric are other great carp-catching examples that even us humans can easily be aware of even in quite low concentrations in our foods; sweating and a faster heart rate (and faster digestive rate) are just a couple of the more obvious effects although the true impacts go much further than these!

I might suggest that the impact upon me is rather like the taste of monosodium glutamate in a Chinese takeaway (minus any nasty after-taste,) or the yeasty smell of fresh bread pumping from a bakery to attract customers! This seriously hooks onto carp (and human) sensory receptors and leaves you and Mr Carp wanting much more again and again! Another far less well known product is fructose concentrate. This relatively little-used edge is something that is extremely underrated and really yet to be really popularised as a true winner but one I have proven in my baits and ground baits too for many of my biggest UK fish over forty pounds. Fructose is a natural product like betaine and like Ccmoore Supersweet, is a sweetener that carp just love. It is worth considering how a carp brain operates and how various chemicals are released that cause behavioural effects we want in order to induce carp behaviours in our favour.

The impact of the key bioactive substance in hemp is one such example that you might term mind-altering, but when you think a bit further, anything that causes a change in brain chemistry in a food can be potentially harmful or beneficial from an angling perspective. Thankfully well over 90 percent of the most effective carp bait substances actually encourage healthier carp when used sensibly! It is up to us to be aware of the potential hazards when a food source becomes a threat; as in the case of drastic over-feeding with tiger nuts or peanuts in particular - but then doing that in certain fishing situations is simply ignorance of course. Hemp seed is a different matter altogether having some of the best quality digestible protein and fantastic amino acid and lipid profiles of the kind carp essentially need!

You will want to use super pure betaine as it has such significant feed-stimulating effects and enhances the impacts of other ingredients, additives and flavours too; it is a potent naturally bioactive substance that when used with liquids rich in amino acids will truly give its best being an amine too. Ccmoore Feedstim XP, Marine Amino Compound, mussel extract, salmon and krill extract, bloodworm extract, Belachan extract, crayfish concentrate and anchovy concentrate and others all benefit from use of super pure betaine to enhance them, along with a little dissolved rock salt for instance. Talin is a great additive for nut baits and used with betaine is very well proven.

The way your bait substances react and interract with other bait substances is very important in how they impact upon carp in many ways simultaneously, but the way your bait reacts and interacts with water is something very much worth much more thought! I enjoy fishing very soluble baits of the kind you might only be able to fish practicably for 2 to 4 hours immersion in water because I know such baits are literally joining with the surrounding water to maximum effect to pump out concentrations of stimulation and attraction ordinary boiled baits and even many pellets do not achieve. As a matter of fact, countless effective effects you might wish to achieve with conventional boilies you can apply to part-boiled and part-steamed paste and boilie style baits, readymade pellets and pastes and boilies made from them and even ground baits in most
1000
formats (stick, slop, etc,) and particle baits too.

By applying refined additives and other substances for the job you can multiply the impacts on fish feeding behaviours beyond many what most anglers would believe. By simply adding a solution of betaine, predigested fish protein, enzyme-treated yeast and Marine amino compound and a little rock salt to your conventional halibut pellet free baits, you can seriously boost fish feeding and your catches. However, I have discovered that Ccmoore pellets are especially designed for all year round use where optimum nutritional attraction and digestibility are hugely important factors in all temperatures. I really get excited about their Milkimin pellets and Cantax Red 365 pellets but then they have the Amino Green 365, uniquely digestible fish HDE pellets, their boosted mussel pellets, Belachan pellets, boosted shrimp pellets, bloodworm pellets and more to play with. Testing many of these as pellets and as quick scalded pastes (in various combinations with a little extra egg albumin for a longer-lasting bait,) has shown carp near them often come zooming over to investigate!

Ccmoore corn sweet syrup is one PVA-friendly product well worth including as a bait soak for instance. You can add all kinds of extras to this syrup for example when using PVA products it being PVA-friendly. Corn sweet syrup really helps to enhance carp feeding activity and can be added to many great bait substances including examples such as: corn steep liquor, betaine, green lipped mussel extract, Vitamealo, sodium caseinate with crushed peanuts, whey concentrate powder vanilla extract meal and even various essential oils, such as garlic oil, chilli oil, almond oil, peanut oil, (sweet garlic oil is outstanding,) or so much more.

If you want very hard hook baits perhaps try using a ten percent inclusion of whey protein concentrate as opposed to simply using maize powder for instance. One cheaper option for better base mix binding is use of whole egg powder which makes baits tougher throughout. I have always found that the incredibly nutritionally attractive ingredients like lactalbumin and whey concentrate (WP80) tend to produce bite often faster after casting out than many other baits, obviously the soluble nature of these is central to this! So to make your baits break down much faster, perhaps radically increase your inclusion level of whey protein concentrate or other more soluble ingredients such as corn steep liquor powder or calcium or sodium caseinates.

Sometimes I make new homemade baits in a rush or make new baits without knowing exactly how much soluble versus insoluble ingredients to include in making a homemade bait that will both roll well and boil or steam without disintegrating and I get things wrong. (But do I really?!) You see my point is that every bait-making mistake is potentially a great solution when applied for particular fishing situations; all it takes is a little imagination! For example, when making homemade enzyme-active baits with too much whey protein they might not be able to be boiled or steamed without melting do to its water-solubility characteristics. At first what seems like a perhaps more costly but obviously potentially very good bait might seem a complete waste and be unusable, but think about it! When used as air-dried or fresh paste baits they are simply awesome, especially for short trips or over-night fishing trips; as I know from experience.

Just such an example was when I had a take on a popular winter water within hours of arriving using such baits in early February (soon after the snow melted in 2009.) Due to the low water temperatures most anglers visiting had been blanking for days and days so the unusual homemade bait approach proved itself under pressure! I suggest that softer more soluble kinds of baits are just the kind of baits many anglers failing to catch on conventional harder less soluble boilies can exploit for themselves. Fish find softer baits in many ways less easy to resist and
1000
less easy to deal with rig and bait-wise too.

One very easy way to produce extremely reliable baits is to scald some Ccmoore boosted mussel, shrimp, bloodworm or Belachan pellets etc, in combination with some Milkimin or Amino Green 365 or HDE pellets for example. This is quick to do – just cover the pellets with boiling water and leave overnight and then form your past. You can even make baits up your baits on the bank and add additional Feedstim powder, squid liver extract or Liquid Super Slop and so on to boost your baits and apply them in very many diverse ways in your fishing!

Perhaps try including more of that legend of carp bait ingredients; enzyme treated liver powder. Why not try this with enzyme treated yeast powder, and corn steep liquor powder? Or you might go for an old trick and incorporate bread crumbs or crunchy kelp meal, or krill meal with fermented shrimp and soluble fish protein?! The use of powdered ingredients and liquids of the same product means that you have the best of both worlds providing instantly soluble attraction plus more longer-lasting powdered attraction within your baits even after the more soluble fractions of your baits have been washed out.

One of the most exciting aspects of bait making is using substances and ingredients that trigger feeding when more soluble ingredients have gone, because this is often the time when very wary carp will feel safer in taking these baits instead of fresh ones at many pressured waters, and this really gives you great competitive edge over other anglers baits - and often more bigger fish too! Even the use of coarse kelp meal, or krill or shrimp meal or meat meal along with squid flesh meal and very generous helpings of green lipped mussel extract will boost a more usually bland soya and semolina high-attract concentrated flavour bait - and yes, why not mix cheap high attraction with premium nutritional stimulation too?! (Note; many flavours taste differently to their taste, but this is something Ccmoore has obviously taken the trouble to deal with in sourcing their flavours; try using Crab Essence with their Frankfurter Essence to ring the changes for instance?!

Now back to bait solubility which is so vitally important in ensuring maximum bait performance (and enhancing bait digestion too!) You might use whey gel and egg albumin together at about 10 percent of your mix and avoid the use of liquid eggs which include egg yolk altogether. This improves bait solubility (compared to using whole eggs) and provides extra bait capacity for adding so much more in terms of liquid foods for instance; so enriching your baits nutrition and so again, enhancing bait performance. (To improve your bait digestibility why not try the Ccmoore called the Key; it is something totally uniquely designed to be an extremely impactful nutritional trigger and proven digestive aid and is certainly a liquid I will be using more of!)

When I used liquid foods like Minamino and liquid liver years ago the hearsay recommended levels were low; maybe up to 30 millilitres per pound of bait. Then I used them in liquid food and flavour mixtures and neat in bait soaks, and found them far more productive. Then I starting using them neat in my paste baits or at over 100 millilitres per pound of bait when I could afford it. As a result of this my catches improved significantly immediately and this was a good lesson in proving you can find great solutions (unique perhaps only to you) aside from the recommended levels, usage levels or applications of use etc. Any way the more you can pack liquid foods such as Feedstim XP or Marine amino Compound for instance into your baits, the better because these act like incredibly powerful magnets that pull (already excited) fish into your swim - before they have even found any of your actual baits!

Tiger nut extract with added betaine and Talin, is a well proven bait soak that is ideal for nut baits. You would do very well to use a lesser-known alternative Super Cherry Amino (a
cdf
product not unlike the legendary Minamino also avaialable from Ccmoore. Why not add some liquid yeast and liquid molasses also for instance. Someone once asked me if I thought that using flavoured Minamino product would have its drawbacks in regards to the flavour but in my opinion the flavour is a big plus considering how many carp are all too familiar its more famous cousin.

Many common conventional flavours plus many unusual flavours are great used in nut baits. This includes some outstanding ones such as Ccmoore Creamy Condensed Milk Essence, Ultra Honey Essence, Ultra Chocolate Malt Essence, Ultra Scopex Essence, Ultra Maple Essence, Ultra Hazelnut Essence, and others like hemp, cream, butter, caramel or Pistachio flavours. Why not think about it; add a generous level of hot Chilli powders and use Red Venom liquid for a spicy bait for instance, with some black pepper essential oil perhaps.

You might make up a homemade spod or ground bait mix from molasses meal, roasted peanut meal, any of many milk powders and liquid foods including liquid yeast and Feedstim XP liquid and powder. Imagine the impact of all those fine particles spreading throughout the water layers and dispersing. So many wary and very pressured carp appreciate filter-feeding upon water-borne food particles before moving any more confidently onto larger food or bait items fished on the bottom or mid-water.

Nut baits work very well when fished with corn steep liquor pellets, Milkimin pellets and hemp pellets for instance. Your ground bait can literally make all the difference to your results because it can very significantly get excited carp further into stages of feeding modes and intensities; where even warier carp can make mistakes more easily.

To really liven up your particles and pellets and even to make a bait soak to pull more fish when using maggots, why not try mixing your baits and ground baits with the awesome Feedstim XP, Super Pure Betaine, Talin, tiger nut extract and tiger nut oil for instance.

Of course you can make many unique liquids and slop attractors with ingredients and additives that are water-soluble to various degrees, and of course even more insoluble ingredients can help pull fish when in suspension in the water column! It may be noted that whole insects, bloodworm and crushed tiger nuts, peanuts and hemp are not totally soluble but these certainly have many effective properties and characteristics!

Essential oils are very powerful additives and you might simply choose to add the old famous favourite aniseed oil. Or for something a little different, perhaps use a combination of cinnamon oil, thyme oil, and clove oil. These have some of the highest antioxidant potencies available in the spices and are extremely well proven (and not just in winter!) Aniseed oil and hemp oil are very effective in winter as most carp anglers already know. Why not try aniseed and clove oil with Talin, or cinnamon oil with 2 grammes per kilogram of Ccmoore Ultrasweet powdered sweetener in your base mix. You would do well to try 8 grams of Lactose Concentrate B in a kilogramme of base mix in a nut bait; with 10 percent pure liver powder with the added addition of maybe 2 percent sup

Low-fat Dairy Products Lower Risk Of Diabetes In Men

There are many things that a person can do to reduce or even eliminate their chances of getting Type 2 Diabetes. Having a healthy BMI (body mass index), staying active, and limiting sugars are great ways to do this. However, there are smaller things that can make a huge difference. An example of this is the recent findings that low-fat dairy may help reduce the risk of diabetes in men. It may seem like a small thing, but combined with everything else, this could be another step towards a healthy future.

An estimated 41 million people in the US have a higher risk of Type 2 Diabetes because they have what is called prediabetes. There are a number of factors that can cause prediabetes, however the main ones are being overweight, inactivity, genetics, polycystic ovarian syndrome, age and gestational diabetes. What happens during the prediabetes stage is that for one or a number of reasons the body either does not make enough insulin or the cells in the body become resistant to insulin, also called insulin resistance. Treatment for prediabetes usually involves making healthy changes to diet as well as increasing physical activity. In some cases medications may also be prescribed.

Recent research suggests that low-fat dairy products lower the risk of diabetes in men. In a study run by the Massachusetts General Hospital, 41,000 men were studied over the course of twelve years. This study focused on adding more dairy, but in the lower fat form, to the diet to evaluate the effect that would have on diabetes. Results showed that these men lowered their risk of diabetes by drinking low-fat milk. In a related study of ten years, (3,000 people) the overweight segment that drank a lot of milk were 70% less likely to have insulin resistance than those that did not drink much or any milk.

Findings from this research suggested that the fat, protein, and lactose in milk all had positive effects on the body and helped to stabilize blood sugar levels. This is because milk sugar is turned into glucose, or blood sugar, at a very slow rate, meaning there were fewer blood sugar spikes and insulin levels were reduced. The protein in milk also acts as a natural appetite suppressant, which helped to reduce the amount of carbohydrates and sugar that was consumed in the daily diet.

Men hoping
1000
to avoid diabetes should increase the amount of low fat dairy in their diet each day. They should try to have at least two servings (in any form) a day to reduce their odds of prediabetes and insulin resistance by up to 20 percent. Examples of low fat dairy products other than milk include: nonfat or low-fat dry milk powder, evaporated fat-free milk, buttermilk made from fat-free or 1% fat milk, fat-free or low-fat yogurt, frozen fat-free or low-fat yogurt, low-fat cheeses (dry-curd or low-fat, cottage cheese, low-fat natural cheeses or processed cheeses made with nonfat or low-fat milk with no more than 3 grams of fat per ounce and no more than 2 grams of saturated fat per ounce), fat-free or low-fat ice cream (no more than 3 grams of fat per 1/2 cup serving). These low fat dairy foods can be eaten in place of processed carbohydrate foods and sugary items that are otherwise unhealthy and cause spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels. This, along with whole grain foods, fruits, and vegetables can help the average man stay healthy and possibly avoid type 2 diabetes in the future.

The Difference Between Dry And Sweet Wines

Taking a trip to the wine store for the first time can be quite a challenge; you will see different kinds of wine in various colours and names. Most of the time, the labels would indicate dry wine or sweet wine.
So, how do you know the difference between a sweet wine and a dry one enough to make a suitable decision?

Basically, a wine that is not sugary is described as a dry wine, needless to say, dry wine is on the extreme opposite of a sweet wine. It goes like a sweetness spectrum that runs from dry, off-dry, medium dry, medium, medium sweet, to sweet. This criterion is more precisely determined through the LCBO Sugar Code that measures the amount of residual sugar on the wines. The rates go from 0 to 30 with the former indicating very dry while the latter indicating very sweet and the rating for a certain amount of sweetness starts at 7 and above.

Sweet wines are most commonly known as dessert wines. Evidently, a sweet wine is sugar-rich and thus contains twenty to twenty five percent residual sugars. On the other hand, dry wines only have 1% or less residual sugars in it that it is almost negligible to the taste buds. Sweet red wines include Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Cabernet, and Syrah. In addition, sweet white wines are termed Riesling, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. A dry red wine is a Merlot while a dry white wine is a Brut.

Taking some steps deeper into the world of sweet wines and dry wines will lead you to the fermentation process. The basic idea is that the following techniques are geared towards making the wine sweet and avoiding these techniques means the opposite. The most natural way of making any fruit sweet is to leave them on the vines until they reach their full maturity. This is the easiest way to enrich the grapes with sugar that it is also the most popular practice.

Gathering the grapes at a much later time decreases the amount of acidity in the fruit and increases its sweetness. Even if these grapes go through the fermentation process, there will still be sufficient sugars left in them. Meanwhile, when the grapes are harvested early on, not much sugar will be left after fermentation and therefore a dry wine is produced; this makes dry wines contain more acid that is converted to alcohol in it.

One option taken to retain the acidity i
1000
n the grapes and still make them sweet is to harvest young grapes then let the sun dry it up to create its wonders. Interestingly, there are naturally acidic grapes in some cooler areas of the world. Through a method called chaptalization, the wines are sweetened up by putting in more sugar to the juice that will counterbalance its acidity.

In the end, even if the LCBO sugar code indicates a wine dry or sweet due to the amount of residual sugar, the taste can still differ because of the wines’ level of acidity. In this case, making a good wine choice could entail actual tasting for that personal judgment.

Is My Diet Coke Making Me Fat?

So why do these people not lose weight? If I had to pick the most common reason why most people’s efforts have proved no results, I would say it is the deception of artificial sweeteners and processed diet foods. Yes, you heard right. It is the diet coke, diet snacks, processed foods and artificial sweetener in your coffee that is keeping you fat.

So how is this so?

Artificial sweeteners overwhelm your liver

Your liver is your largest internal organ, and it’s responsible for an astonishing variety of life-sustaining and health-promoting tasks, including those that make healthy weight loss and weight management possible. Integral to countless metabolic processes, the liver supports the digestive system, controls blood sugar and regulates fat storage. One of your liver’s most important functions, and the most crucial to your weight loss, is chemically breaking down everything that enters your body, from healthy vegetables, to not so healthy fast food, from healthy water to not so healthy soda.

It’s your liver’s job to distinguish between the nutrients you need to absorb and the dangerous or unnecessary substances that must be filtered out of your bloodstream. But when the liver is clogged and overwhelmed with toxins, like artificial sweeteners, it can’t do a very effective job of processing nutrients and fats. If it can not process the nutrients and fats that your body needs, this will cause you to gain weight or will prevent you from losing weight.

Your liver also produces bile, a crucial substance for detoxifying our bodies. It is the job of bile to help our bodies break down the fats we need and to assimilate fat-soluble vitamins. But when our bile becomes overly congested with the toxins it’s trying to filter out, it simply can’t function properly. It becomes thick, viscous and highly inefficient in breaking down fats. The result: You are more likely to gain weight and to have a greater difficulty losing it. So the more toxic your body becomes, the more difficulty you’ll have losing weight and keeping it off because your liver just can not work properly to break down fat.

Are artificial sweeteners considered a toxin?

So what qualifies something as a “toxin”? A toxin is anything that your body does not recognize as a natural food source. The reaso
1000
n why artificial sweeteners have “zero” calories is because your body does not recognize them as a food source. For example, the chemical process to make Splenda (sucralose) alters the chemical composition of the sugar so much that it is somehow converted to a completely different molecule than sugar. This type of “fake” sugar molecule does not occur in nature and therefore your body does not possess the ability to properly metabolize it.

This is how the makers of Splenda claim that it has zero calories, because in theory it should not be digested or metabolized by the body (Although it has been shown that some people’s body do absorb up to 15% of the artificial sweeteners they ingest). So the more artificial sweeteners that you consume in one day, the more you are overwhelming your liver with toxins and the less able it is to do its job of processing fat. And what happens if the liver can’t do its job? You can’t lose weight or worse yet, you gain weight.

What if you don’t use artificial sweeteners? Don’t be fooled. Almost every diet product on the market has some kind of artificial sweetener added to it. Even some children’s snacks are now being made with sucralose (Splenda) and most flavored waters contain sucralose or aspartame.

Now add up how many things you eat in one day that contain some form of artificial sweetener. The list may be very long. How overwhelmed do you think your liver is? Does it have the ability to work properly? Even if you keep your calories at bay and only drink Diet Coke with your meals, will you truly get down to the weight that you want, and stay there? It has been in my experience that the answer is “no” and until you are ready to commit yourself to a healthy way of eating, weight loss will always be a constant struggle.

What else do sweeteners do?

Sweeteners increase appetite

Artificial sweeteners tell your taste buds that, “sweet stuff has arrived” which to the brain means, “nutrition has arrived.” When artificial sweetened drink or food reaches the small intestine, the receptors find no nutrition. A message is then sent back to the brain saying, “We’ve been tricked-there’s no nutrition here.” The appestat (the part of your brain that triggers satiety) sends the message to “keep eating because we need nutrition to help process all this fake food and run your body.” So even after you eat a good portioned healthy meal (along with your diet coke) you still feel like your starving all day, or you become very hungry soon after. Your healthy eating efforts may be sabotaged if you continue to feel hungry all day. No one likes to feel hungry so you continue to eat more food until you feel satisfied, which in your effort to lose weight, may just be too much.

Sweeteners Increase our Sweet Tooth

Saccharin (Sweet n Low) is 300 times sweeter than sugar, aspartame (Equal) is 200 times sweeter than sugar and sucralose (splenda) is 600 times sweeter than sugar. Such sweeteners can only increase our sweet tooth and increase our taste of sweet things. If you can never get rid of your sugar cravings, any healthy eating plan will be difficult because you will constantly be craving “sweet”. Artificial sweeteners have also shown to promote the same blood sugar fluctuations as regular sugar, which, again will bring on “sugar low” which will increase appetite and cravings. This is not to say, that something sweet now and again is not ok, but it is those people who can not control their sugar cravings that are being sabotaged by these artificial sweeteners.

What are some alternatives to sweeteners?

Giving up sugar and artificial sweeteners may be difficult, especially if you are accustomed to everything having such a sweet taste. A wonderful alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners is an herb called Stevia. Stevia is an extraordinarily sweet herb, 200-300 times sweeter than sugar. Stevia is almost calorie-free, so it is perfect for people who are watching their weight. U
1000
nlike sugar, it does not trigger a rise in blood sugar so you will not get a sudden burst of energy followed by fatigue and a need for another “fix”. It increases energy and aids digestion by stimulating the pancreas. Stevia also presents great advantages over saccharine and other artificial sweeteners in that it is not toxic. Stevia is a plant that is found in nature and is not man-made in a laboratory. Stevia can be found at almost all health food stores such as Whole Foods, and is listed under the “supplement” section. Stevia can be used exactly like sugar and artificial sweeteners to sweeten drinks and it can even be used in baking.

If weight loss or staying away from sweets has always been a problem for you, take notice of how much artificial sweetener you have been ingesting. That just may be the culprit. Make a resolution this year to give up the “fake” stuff and stick to natural alternatives like Stevia. You will not only be helping your weight loss efforts but you will also be benefiting your health.

If you or someone you know is addicted to sweet drinks such as sodas or beverages sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners, try this “Tea Juice” and you will see that weaning yourself off sugar or sweeteners will be much easier.

Tea Juice

-5-6 bags of any caffeine free herbal tea of your choice (green tea, peach tea, berry tea, orange zinger, lemon, etc.)
-3 quarts water
-Stevia powder or liquid to taste

Boil tea bags in a large pot. Add 1-2 full teaspoons of stevia while still hot. (You may add more or less, based on your desired sweetness) Let tea cool and then transfer to the refrigerator in Ice Tea pitchers or individual size water bottles.

This drink is a great replacement to Diet Coke or Diet Snapple.

Lower Blood Sugar And Exercise, But I Hate To Exercise, How About Some Real Easy Tips. Is A Diet Of Healthy Food Easier?

Type 2 Diabetes, and Over 55 years old? Do The Most Natural Human Exercise Possible; Proven Effective for Over 10,000 Years.

Exercise; and Supplements can make it much easier.

First the exercise.
WHY IS THIS 10,000 YEAR OLD EXERCISE ALL-NATURAL
Not one of your ancestors ever “Ran Down” a deer and caught it. They walked the deer to exhaustion, and then just walked up to him, and brought him home for the family dinner. They never had diabetes and could have walked another 25 miles.

DOCTORS AGREE
According to researchers, even modest amounts of exercise, without weight loss or loss of abdominal fat, can improve indicators of glucose and fat metabolism among inactive, middle-aged adults, a group that is particularly at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Diabetes Care March 26, 2003;26:557-562

THE SECRET 10,000 YEAR OLD ANTI-DIABETIC EXERCISE
This exercise is a combination of walking and running with you in the pilot’s seat. You decide if and when to run or whether merely to walk. This is the most natural of all exercises and has an extremely high-conditioning potential.

The key idea in the Roving exercise is to set your self a distance goal of so many blocks or maybe miles.

Then four or five times each week you set out to walk that distance.

EXERCISE PROGRAM:
The Ten Fundamental Principles of Exercise Utilizing the 10,000-year-old concept.
1. Distance is important; time is not.
2. Select a distance suited to your self.
3. Walk or call it “Rove” your distance four or five times per week.
4. As warm-up, begin each rove at a slow pace. That is all the
warm-up needed.
5. Increase your “roving distance” only when you are ready.
6. Use your heart recovery test as your gauge to slow down or speed
up.
7. Give yourself variety. Target the 7-eleven, or the Home Depot.
8. Do not strain or compete against the clock or against people.
9. Always enjoy your “roving.”
10. The program is for ever
1000
yone: young or old, male or female.

BONUS TIPS
Rules for Selecting Your Distance:
1. A few blocks if you are or have been very ill.
2. 1 1/2 miles if you are healthy but in poor to average condition.
3. 3 miles if you are healthy and in good condition.
4. 6 to 10 miles if you are healthy and in excellent condition.

THE BEST BOUNS TIP OF THE YEAR IS ABOUT FOOD.

“A REAL SHORT CUT TO LOWER BLOOD SUGAR”

Ņ.Get to that Lower Blood Sugar Level in short order.

The Ultimate Diabetic Diet: Fast Track “Food Choices” to Beat That Blood Sugar Level Down NOW.

Top 6 Tips
Here are the top 6 simple, positive measures, any one of which you can adopt. Each measure is a major step into the new lifestyle of eating that will result in lower blood sugar and normal weight.

1. Eat more vegetables. Eat more vegetables of all kinds: cooked vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, corn, peas, potatoes, zucchini, and beets, as well as raw vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, celery, radishes, and cucumbers. Use spices to maximize deliciousness. Avoid butter, oil, and other fatty sauces

2. Make your vegetables attractive. When you serve vegetables at the table, serve them in your most attractive serving dishes. Arrange them in the serving dish as attractively and colorfully as possible. Use paprika, egg whites, or pimientos for extra color. Even when storing vegetables in the refrigerator, make them attractive. Keep them in attractive storage containers, and keep them fresh and appetizing. Buy them fresh frequently, and throw them out when they wilt, change color, get soggy, or in any way lose their attractiveness or zip.

3. Increase your intake of fresh whole fruits. BUY choice the Right Fruits ONLY.I am interested in increasing your fruit intake not because of the nutrient value of fruit or because fruit has any special value in weight-loss programs. My interest is to provide you with a food source that will tend to displace your eating of sweets to some degree. If not right away, then a little later. Because fruits themselves tend to be fattening, choose lower calorie fruits like apples and oranges rather than canned, cooked, pureed, or juiced fruits.

4. Decrease your contact with problem food. Problem foods are the very high calorie foods so common in modern society: potato chips, cheeses, cookies, pies, cakes, fatty cold cuts, and so forth. By decreasing your contact with them around the house, you will decrease your consumption of them. You can decrease your contact by placing them in the kitchen and out of sight. Don’t keep foods in the living room, bedroom, or den. Keep them in the kitchen in cupboards or in the refrigerator. Keep them behind other foods, back in the far reaches where they aren’t easily seen. Believe me, it’s true; out of sight, out of mind. Out of mind means out of the stomach.

5. Make eating a pure experience. Frequently we eat while doing other things. This is a problem because we tend to associate eating with these other things. These other things become eating cues, and every time we do them, we have the urge to eat. When you eat, only eat. Don’t combine eating with other activities like watching TV or reading. When you are ready to eat, first stop what you are doing. Then set yourself a place at the table, and eat your food there. Don’t take leftovers to the TV or elsewhere to nibble. Either eat them at the table or put them away.

6. Increase your awareness of fats in food. You probably don’t know how much fat you eat in a day. Few people do. But your intake of fat is nearly 50 percent of your daily calories. Fat is not only the fatty substance around your T-bone steak; it is also the oil in peanut butter, nuts, and olives. Butter, cooking oil, and mayonnaise are 100 percent fat, avocados are 80 percent fat, and whole milk is nearly 50 percent fat. Low-fat foods (under 10 percent) are vegetables, fruits, grains, and nonfat
1000
dairy products. Increase your awareness of the fat in the foods you eat. Then, in the light of what you have learned try to determine which foods in your diet are especially high in fat and which are especially low.

Diabetes Blood Sugar - Checking And Monitoring Your Lifeline

Every diabetic knows the importance of blood sugar in relation to diabetes. Controlling diabetes blood sugar plays an important role in preventing the disorder from causing complications that will impair the nerves, eyes, kidney, and blood vessels of the diabetes sufferer.

Hence, upon confirmation of your diabetic condition by way of tests and consultations, you were advised to avail the services of a dietitian who will plan your diet in order to keep the blood sugar levels in check. Diabetes blood sugar therefore should be constantly monitored and this will involve diabetes blood glucose monitoring checks.

Blood Sugar Monitoring Checks

Keeping a log or chart of your blood sugar is very vital in managing your diabetic condition. Your health care provider may require you to bring such records of information during checkups in order to determine how your body responds to your diabetes blood sugar medications.

Finding out which part of your health care plan aside from the medications prescribed, will help your doctor, your dietitian and your diabetes educator to implement the necessary changes in treatments.

Here is a list of the information needed in making your diabetes blood sugar chart or logs:

1. A1C
2. Preprandial plasma glucose (checked before a meal)
3. Postprandial plasma glucose ( checked after a meal)
4. Blood pressure
5. Lipids
6. LDL (Low Density Lippoprotein)
7. Triglycerides
8. HDL (Heart Disease Lowering)

The information listed above will of course require the assistance of someone knowledgeable like your diabetes nurse in order to gather the correct information regarding your diabetes blood sugar levels and composition. In time, as you learn to live with your diabetes and its management, you or a member of your family will eventually learn how to monitor your blood sugar and the relevant information.

Just to give you an idea, below is the basic procedure involved in checking your diabetes blood sugar:

Using a Blood Glucose Meter

This is a compact computerized machine designed and equipped to read your blood glucose or sugar. Through a sample of your blood, your blood glucose level will be shown on the screen in terms of numbers. The doctor or diabetes n
1000
urse will teach you how to extract your blood sample and how to use the blood glucose meter.

Log Your Test Results

When writing down your test results, indicate the food, the activity and the medicine that directly affects the results. Compare your results with the previous day’s log to ascertain whether the level is rising or descending.

Immediately refer any noticeable or abrupt changes that transpire especially if the results are considerably out of the normal range. By immediately, you don’t have to wait until your next visit but can be done through phone, since any changes might prove to be critical for your condition.

Urine Checks

In relation to the diabetes blood sugar checks, you may also be required to monitor your urine as they may also contain relevant information regarding your blood sugar. Information about “ketone” presence in the urine will indicate whether your body is making use of fat for fuel instead of glucose. This is indicative that there is still not enough insulin to enable glucose absorption.

Based on the results of your blood sugar monitoring, your doctor or nurse will advise you when to test your urine for ketones. The life of a diabetic is about managing and controlling which you will have to learn to live with in order to maintain a normal life as a diabetes sufferer.

Checking your diabetes blood sugar and logging the test results are your vital tools for a better life.

Controlling Blood Sugar In Type 2 Diabetes Without The Use Of Drugs

I was told in rapid succession that I was suffering from intermittent claudication (that’s blocked arteries in the legs), high blood pressure, Diabetes Type 2. and that I was overweight.

Not a lot of pleasure there! The intermittent claudication made it increasingly difficult to do much, so that in effect I had become a prisoner to my house and garden. Exercise was out of the question, my legs simply couldn’t cope, but it was hoped that angioplasty to each leg would cure the problem. It didn’t.

My high blood pressure, I was assured, could be treated by a cocktail of drugs and by weight loss. The cocktail of four different drugs worked, but I could not seem to lose weight.

So I was given a choice: the blood sugar levels could be controlled either by drugs or by diet. Since I was already taking four different drugs for blood pressure, I thought it best to try diet control. I was also hopeful that this might help me to lose weight. But where to start? My diabetic nurse provided me with a blood sugar monitor and said I should aim to stay under 9 as my reading. My Doctor said to stay under 7. Now she has reduced this to under 5. My current long-term reading is 5.3. A big drop from the high readings I used to produce.

So what did I do? At first I was taking blood samples three times a day and was truly astonished at how my blood sugar jumped about. Plain porridge and water, which I absolutely loved, would produce a reading of 16 and yet, being a slow release multigrain, I had always assumed it would be good for my health. A single apple, showed a reading of 12! Tea with milk but no sugar, 10. Obviously there was more to this than met the eye.

The first learning point was that the body needs water and lots of it. Out went sugared fizzy drinks and in came plain boiled water. The Swedes call it Silver Tea, I’m told, and it is very refreshing. Now a cup starts every day and two or three more follow. Low calorie tonic water is also useful (the quinine helps prevent cramps), mineral water (I especially like carbonated forms), low calorie Ginger Beer and cold filtered tap water.

The next, crucial, learning point: control your carbohydrate intake, in my case to under 40gms a day. Eliminate bread, cakes, sweets, pasta, rice, cereals, bisc
1000
uits, sugars, fruit juice, potatoes, honey, jam, marmalade, baked beans. Reading the food labels is a real eye opener!

Instead, increase your intake of vegetables and low carbohydrate foods & fruits. All of the following are particularly good: Broccoli, cabbage, spinach, runner beans, brussels sprouts cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, courgettes, aubergines, swede, squashes, celeriac, green salads. Fruit can be very high in sugars, so use in moderation. Choose rhubarb, grapefruit, raspberries, loganberries, strawberries, blueberries, all of which are O.K. Do not add sugar, of course, so sweeten with cinnamon instead. Avocadoes are low in carbohydrates, but high in fat, so eat no more than half a fruit a day. Add nuts and seeds to your diet, again in small amounts.

As far as alcohol is concerned, all beers are out. One or two glasses of red wine a day are acceptable.

Avoid processed foods as much as possible and certainly do NOT eat hydrogenated fats of any kind. They are to my mind a food industry con. and of no use to any one other than manufacturers of processed food.

Buy only genuine, non-reconstituted lean meat, poultry, game and fish. Reduce your saturated fat intake by cooking on a griddle and cutting off any excess fat. Cook with olive and nut oils, as these unsaturated fats are good for you. Never use lard. Add game to your repertoire of ingredients, along with plenty of oily and white fish such as salmon, haddock, tuna, swordfish, mackerel & kipper.

I have never once felt hungry with this change in my eating habits to simple whole foods. I still find I miss eating plain yoghurt, vanilla ice cream and various cheeses. But then I occasionally do give myself a small treat - provided I stay within my allowance.

The results are good for my health:

My good cholesterol is high
My bad cholesterol is low
My type II diabetes blood sugar is well controlled by diet alone
I have lost 10 lbs in weight.

My next task is to lose another 30 lbs. I know now that this is achievable. The more weight I lose, the more able I am to increase my activity levels - and the more incentive I have to control my calorie intake. At last I feel that I am taking back control of my body and discovering that you really are what you eat!

10 Powerful Benefits Of Sugar Daddy Dating

A growing percentage of females openly admit to prefering the company of an older guy on a date, rather than same age or younger. The present day Sugar Daddy is a far cry from his 20th Century counterpart, who would be more inclined to keep such a relationship totally private, enjoying clandestine meetings at secretive venues. Today, an older guy will display his younger partner openly, publicly and with pride.

Here are ten powerful reasons why sugar daddy dating is becoming more and more popular within the online dating arena. The comparisons are based on age difference relationships with long term in mind.

1./ Generally speaking, even the most adventurous of females will feel safer in the company of a more mature sugar daddy type date, especially on first meeting. He is more inclined to suggest coffee or dinner in a crowded venue as a first meeting place, or be quite happy for her to suggest a locale where she would feel comfortable. Her ease-of-mind, during that first date in particular, will be high on his agenda.

2./ Although there are exceptions to every rule, women dating the older sugar daddy types notice the higher level of respect shown to them during such relationships. The emphasis on romance overshadowing his desire to get her into bed is often more apparent. He is less likely to be interested in a short term, superficial encounter.

3/. The prospects of a long term relationship are usually very real, his playing around days are obliterated in the past. His mature mindset now focused on the many other aspects and indeed the benefits of being in an adoring long term union.

4/. The ’sugar daddy meets sugar baby’ relationship is often centered around the male’s need to protect and show support towards his younger partner. Many miscontrue this notion as a ’sex for favors’ arrangement. Yet in his mind, sex is far from being a pre-requisite. His pride would be severely dented if he thought for a moment that the sexual encounters were brought about as a direct result of his demonstrations of kindness.

5/. Loyalty too will be of great importance. His desire to protect and support will be extremely focused, and once he discovers his belle, his eye will be less likely turned in other directions. The strength of the relationship is an im

portant issue and he will defend that vigorously.

6/. Baggage can very often be a problem in any new relationship. Whether it be family resposibilities, ex partners or even financial issues, baggage from the past can often deflower an otherwise perfect opportunity. The older, more mature male is less likely to allow external issues to spoil the possibilities and will often take his partner’s external resposibilities on board with grace, understanding and a positive attitude.

7/. Sexually, although not quite the opportunist he used to be, his need to delight and satisfy will oftentimes be stronger than seeking his own satisfaction. He will take the time to seduce her mind, his idea of foreplay has evolved way beyond ‘grope on the couch’ status. The aftermath of those intimate encounters too will be loving and warm, with pillow talk becoming a tender part of the process.

8/. Romance is an important aspect of any dating relationship, but a sugar daddy will pay much more attention to the romantic suggestion. This is not simply manifested with flowers, gifts and material things, but the hand holding, public shows of affection or little notes left discreetly for her to find.

9/. On the maturity front, it is accepted that a female is far more mature the a male at any given age. Therefore it makes sense that she would have more in common with an older, more mature male than one her own age. They will hold each others attention for longer periods, they will have more interests to share and they will be much closer as friends within the overall plan.

10/. The genuine sugar daddy will enjoy spoiling and pampering his young lover and take every opportunity available to make her feel like a princess. Not necessarily by way of showering her with material things, but generally taking care of her needs. Making her feel that she is important to him, loved.. cherished.. protected.

The 1920’s version of the sugar daddy would typically shower his young lover with gifts and often cash, as a ‘reward’ for her company or sexual favors. These days the arrangement is centered around a relationship, a solid bond between two willing partners. The spoiling, pampering and protection satisfying both his need to give, and her need to receive. This twenty-first century sugar daddy sugar baby arrangement can often develop into a powerful union of mind body and soul, leaving the conventional relationship in the dust.
