Fast Food vs. Restaurant Food

Posted on 2012-02-28 13:03:51

If you're a health conscious individual, you likely cringe at even the mention of fast food.

McDonald's. Burger King. Wendy's.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! My ears are bleeding (because I read everything out loud and my ears bleed when I hear the name of any fast food restaurant Hardee's ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!).

We all know that fast food is the devil. I mean, fast food is the worst thing on the planet, it's why Obama can't do a darn thing about the state of the economy, it's the sole cause of war and poverty and pretty much all of the world's problems, and even worse it's loaded with an exorbitant amount of calories that instantly attach to your butt and love handles the minute you consume them.

So, if you're going to go "out to eat", whatever you do, don't eat fast food. Instead, try a nice sit-down restaurant in which an independant study recently determined that when compared to the golden arches and king of burgers, those who choose sit-down restaurants wind up eating TWICE as many calories than those that choose fast food.

Oh. My. God.

Eye-opener: What appears to be healthy at a restaurant, very likely aint healthy.

The reality is that sit down restaurant meals, due to their exceptionally large portions and often irresponsible preparation methods (with respect to calorie content) give very little regard to health and weight managment. Restaurants want you to LOVE the food, be satisfied, and come back. For the most part, with few exceptions, that's their number one goal...and it comes at the expense of your health and that oh so lovely figure you're trying to obtain and maintain.

Does that mean you should never eat out? No, I eat out all the time. But you have to be aware of what goes down, and YOU have to be the one in control of the meal. Here are some tips:

1. When you order, ask the server to have half of your entree bagged up to go and half brought out to you. Instant 50% reduction in calories!

Chances are, you'll be just as satisfied with 1/2 the normal portion, but when the whole thing is on your plate in front of you, you'll always eat more just because it's there.

2. Give VERY specific instructions on how you want your food prepared. For example, order your meat grilled with absolutely no sauces, butter, etc. Skip the "pre-made" salad dressings and request olive oil and vinegar instead. Ask how things are prepared -- it's your server's job to answer your questions and you're paying them to be an expert and deliver to you exactly what you want. If you don't want a boatload of hidden calories, make sure you don't get them by speaking up and clarifying what you want.

Implement those 2 tips and you'll avoid 75% of the calories in a typical restaurant entree.  Join HealthSource of Tulsa for weekly webinar on Freedom from Fat.

Hollywood Cellulite Secrets!

Posted on 2012-02-14 07:08:38

Fat is one thing…but CELLULITE is a completely different story!

You too may have been finding that despite your best efforts to take off the weight, you’re still left with saggy, dimpled skin.

I get asked all the time about cellulite and until now...I had no idea what to do!

Well you may also have wondered if there was anything out there that fights cellulite that you just don’t know about yet…

I recently learned about this odd “Hollywood secret” technique for getting rid of that disgusting extra jiggle that’s also backed by science…

…coffee grounds!

What?!

Yeah, I’ll explain how and why this works so well in second…

…but first, just a reminder, there are over 100 unusual fat loss tricks just like this that you are probably missing out on, all compiled into one unique guide called ‘Do This Burn Fat’… if you’re interested in learning more about that, click here now.

OK back to fighting that cellulite…

Actresses like Halle Berry use the technique I’m going to tell you about religiously to keep their thighs tight and toned for filming those sexy movie scenes without embarrassment.

Here’s what to do…

1. Take about a half cup or so of yesterday’s USED coffee grinds (NOT decaffeinated!) and mix them together with just a little bit of olive oil and put the mixture in an old nylon stocking.

(If you don’t drink coffee, ask your neighbors or friends to give you theres and just tell them you’re using it for “compost fertilizer”! Sneaky, eh? ;-)

2. About 10 minutes before getting into the shower, vigorously rub the coffee grind mixture over your “trouble areas” like your hips, butt, belly, or thighs.

3. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes and then rinse it off in the shower.

4. Do this a couple of times a week and start watching your skin get tighter and more toned as you continue your fatburning efforts.

Here’s why it works (the SCIENCE!)…

First, let me tell you that dermatology researchers are already using caffeine in the most advanced cellulite creams so this is backed by hard science.

By vigorously rubbing your skin with the mixture, you increase circulation to your skin while at the same time, taking advantage of the coffee’s caffeine content to start melting the fat from the outside in.

Plus, the gritty texture of the coffee grinds works like a mild sugar scrub, exfoliating the skin and promoting better circulation and rejuvenation while the oil actually “plumps up” the skin cells for smoother looking skin.

Some women have even reported seeing instant results with tighter, toned skin!

So give it a try, it may just be the extra weapon you need in the fight against cellulite.

Want over 100 even SNEAKIER fat burning tricks like this one?

Tulsa Chiropractor Uses hCG Diet to Help Patients with Lasting Weight Loss

Get Weight Loss Support from Our Tulsa Chiropractor

After watching patients in Tulsa struggle unsuccessfully with their weight, Dr. Lawrence was determined to find a scientifically sound method for achieving lasting loss of weight, leading to the adoption of the hCG diet method for use with our patients. With obesity rates reaching epidemic proportions, it is more important than ever to find a way to battle this health problem successfully. As a chiropractor, Dr. Lawrence finds this program fits perfectly with our goal of supporting every patient in optimizing his or her overall health and wellness.

What Is the hCG Weight Loss Method?

The protocol of using hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) to accelerate the loss of fat tissues while dieting was first developed by an endocrinologist in the 1950s. He realized that this hormone, normally produced during pregnancy, when combined with an ultra-low calorie diet directed the body to specifically target adipose fat, better known as stubborn belly fat. This is linked to the development of numerous health problems including cardiovascular disease.

One of the interesting aspects of the low-calorie hCG weight loss diet is that the presence of hCG hormone instructs the body to burn its excess adipose fat rather than lean tissues like muscle while on a calorie-restrictive diet. While the dieter consumes a low number of calories each day, the body is actually using more calories from the fat tissues it is burning. This explains why there are no cravings or feelings of excessive appetite while using this dieting method.

If you worry about whether your extra weight might be negatively affecting your health, visit our Tulsa chiropractor to find out more about how the hCG diet promotes lasting loss of weight. Your health and wellness might depend on it!
