Watching What You Eat & When You Eat It

The big word on everyone’s tongues in the U.S. is salmonella, with the dreaded infection poisoning above 350 people in 30 U.S. states in one month alone.

While excluding tomatoes from your healthy weight loss diet could be a good idea, scientists are reporting that cilantro and jalapenos, besides other veggies too might be at risk for consumption. Incidentally, these are the ingredients used to make salsa as well, making it tough for those who love Mexican food.

Summertime, apparently, is a very tricky part of the year where food is concerned with dietitians advising people to practice proper hygiene while cooking and cooking food to right temperatures.

If you want to cultivate healthy weight loss diet habits, then eating food the right way is also important. With just a little organization and self-control, you can keep a few pounds away. The Washington University School of Medicine discovered that people tend to overeat during the weekend, more so on a Saturday.

According to the conclusions drawn, people gain at least 10 pounds by the end of the year, thanks to weekend binging!

What do you think? Do you practice unhealthy eating habits and love weekend binging?

The Marie Antoinette Diet – Good For A Body Makeover?

The Sex and the City girls, who are always in the know about such trendy things brought the Marie Antoinette diet to the fore and made cupcakes the raison d'être.

Recently Heidi Klum gifted Victoria Beckham a year’s supply of cupcakes for her 34th birthday and started the trend all over again. Posh Victoria is being all nice and actually consuming all those calories and carbs.

But how good is the cupcake diet for healthy weight loss?

Dietitians think consuming cupcakes, for some people, are merely a glamour indicator. But for others they remind them of their childhood where such indulgencies were pandered to by grandmas and moms.

But in a study conducted last year by Charles Stuart Platkin, also known as the Diet Detective, an average Crumbs cupcake was found to contain as much calories as three slices of pizza. The exercise needed to burn out the ingested calories involves 6 miles of jogging. Looks like a lot of trouble for a simple cupcake.

Feliz Cinco De Mayo From Body Makoevers!:

It’s time to celebrate all things Mexican!

Serenading mariachis, intoxicating tequilas, yummy nachos and colorful skirts twirled in dance, the festival of Cinco de Mayo is Mexican exuberance at its finest! For a fiesta that commemorates the Mexican military’s victory over the French army, things couldn’t get more enjoyable.

Body Makeovers came across this wonderful collection of recipes that’ll make your mouths and eyes water! Mexican food is known for its intense flavors and is considered to have originated in the kitchens of the nation’s Mayan ancestors. Corn tortillas served with bean dips were as much popular then as they are now.

The famous Mexican salsa (the dip, not the dance) too was well known in the time of the Aztecs that populated the area a long time ago. Spanish and Portuguese influences have also found their way into the Mexican palate and have yielded some classics using tomatillo, ceviche, chili peppers, etc.

But can you include Mexican food in your healthy diet plan?

Expert dietitians agree that while Mexican-American cuisine can go a tad heavy on the stomach, traditional Mexican food is nutrient-rich and quite healthy.

Consider this: a Nachos Belle Grande at your local Taco bell will have 39 gms of fat and 760 calories. On the other hand a traditional Poc Chuc will usually contain 8 gms of fat and approximately 230 calories.

Just goes to show, junk food always loses out to wholesome, cooked food.

Check out the Body Makeovers Original Six Week Diet program if your diet consists of junk Mexican-American food. Healthy weight loss begins here.
