			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recent research is indicating that the diets we&#8217;ve believed are &#8216;right&#8217; and been following for years should now be confined to the shelf. Are the so-called truths about diets now changing? Asking experts to shine light on the 5 most common diet truths, it&#8217;s clear there are stili many areas of disagreement, even between doctors and dieticians themselves.<span id="more-228"></span></p>
<p><strong>Eating three meals a day</strong></p>
<p><strong>Dilara Koçak, Diet and Nutrition Expert:</strong><br />
&#8220;Research illustrates the importance of 6 meals a day. made up of 3 main meals and 3 snacks. for controlling weight. One shouldn&#8217;t stay hungry for more than 3 hours as this slows down the basal metabolic rate. Supporting main meals with snacks increases metabolic speed, and thus speeds up weight loss. also maintaining blood sugar levels and helping us to feel fuller faster. This way. we don&#8217;t feel so hungry between meals.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Ayça Kaya, Internal Diseases Expert:</strong><br />
&#8220;According to recent research; food shouldn&#8217;t be consumed at set hours of the day, but in accordance with what our body telis us. Hunger is a physiological need. just like feeling sleepy or having to go to the toilet. Just as we don&#8217;t go to the toilet or sleep at a set time. it&#8217;s wrong to eat just because &#8216;the hour has come&#8217;. Another thing that doesn&#8217;t work is limiting the number of meals we have in a day. One should eat when hungry. This doesn&#8217;t necessarily require a very elaborate meal; 1 glass of ayran (yoğurt drink), 1 piece of fruit and half a packet of diet biscuits could suffice.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Yavuz Furuncuoğlu, Internal Diseases Expert:</strong><br />
&#8220;One should eat 6 meals a day, includiço 3 mains and 3 snacks. The goal is to balance insulin secretion in the body to prevent you taking in too many calories in one go. If you split the daily amount of calories that need to be consumed into 3, you could experience an extreme rise in Insulin secretion. Therefore, splitting the intake of calories into as many small meals as possible is the best way. Snacks should not exceed 100-200 calories.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Start the day with a balanced and hearty breakfast</strong></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Ayça Kaya, Internal Diseases Expert:</strong><br />
&#8220;Start the day with breakfast, but if you&#8217;re not that hungry, don&#8217;t feel you have to eat cheese or bread. Let&#8217;s not forget that fruit yoghurt or milk with a banana Is also breakfast.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Selahattin Dönmez, Diet and Nutrition Expert:</strong><br />
&#8220;Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We know that people who don&#8217;t eat breakfast have difficulty concentrating and are less productive in their daily activities. A balanced breakfast Increases overall performance levels and assists In maintaining a healthy weight. However, the content of the breakfast is of key importance; ideally consisting of a combination of quality protein sources, fresh vegetables, fruit and wholegrain cereals.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Yavuz Furuncuoğlu, Internal Diseases Expert:</strong><br />
&#8220;If important to define what we mean by &#8220;rich&#8217;. An ideal breakfast must contain ali the necessary nutrients; carbohydrates. protein, fat. vitamins, and trace minerals. However, take çare not to exceed the calorie limit prescribed by your doctor or dietician.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Herbal products to assist weight loss are safe</strong></p>
<p><strong>Selahattin Dönmez, Diet and Nutrition Expert:</strong><br />
&#8220;Nothing in life is safe. Even too much fruit consumed during the day can raise blood lipids. Looking at it from this perspective, herbal products could create serious problems for health and weight control. Also, there are lots products on the market whose effects haven&#8217;t yet been proven. These kinds of herbal products should only be added to a regular diet if prescribed by a doctor for metabolic diseases like a lack in carnitin and cellular problems.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Ayça Kaya:</strong><br />
&#8220;Not ali herbal products are beneficial. Products that haven&#8217;t been approved by the Ministry of Health and products consumed without guidance can harm the body, even if they&#8217;re natural.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Ender Saraç:</strong><br />
&#8220;There are herbal products that are safe and beneficial, and ones that aren&#8217;t. For instance. has the product been approved by the Ministry? Is it sold in chemists? Has it been approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)? These are three points that are crucial for reliability. If the person doesn&#8217;t have a serious illness and is only a few kilos overweight. there&#8217;s no harm in them using these products. But anyone with food allergies. stomach ulcers. hypertension. diabetes or psychological problems should f irst consult a doctor. Otherwise. not only might you not benefit from the products, it could even potentially harm your health. Another Important point to bear in mind is that you shouldn&#8217;t buy these kinds of products online because of potential risks.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t eat carbohydrates and protein In the same meal</strong></p>
<p><strong>Selahattin Dönmez, Diet and Nutrition Expert:</strong><br />
&#8220;Absolutely not. The American Dieticians Foundation has presented scientif ic evidence pointing to the fact that the diet needs to contain suff icient vitamins and minerals tor healthy weight loss. When considering that many foods containing protein or carbohydrates are also sources of vitamins and minerals, refraining from protein and carbohydrates in the same meal is a definite step towards unhealthy weight loss. My research has analysed the results f rom many of the most popular diets followed by adult women and I was able to conclude that limiting intake of carbohydrates and protein, or not eating them at the same time, did not have any long-term Impact on weight loss. Limiting daily calorie intake is sufficient to lose weight.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Ender Saraç:</strong><br />
&#8220;There are many disagreements around this. But when I look at people who follow this diet. I observe that their digestive system works better and they lose weight more easily. I&#8217;m on the fence on this one.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Yavuz Furuncuoğlu:</strong><br />
&#8220;Wrong. For healthy weight loss. the only thing you need to calculate is your daily calorie intake. And here. what makes a difference is what a person does for a living and how active they are. A person&#8217;s calorie Intake should Ideally comprise of 50-60% carbohydrates. 10-15% protein, and 20-30% fat. The proportions are split between 3 main and 3 snacks. A person&#8217;s daily energy expenditure is calculated. The ratio between the energy Intake and energy consumed determines weight loss or gain. Therefore. it doesn&#8217;t matter whether or not we have protein and carbohydrates in the same meal. This doesn&#8217;t have an impact on weight loss.&#8221;</p>

</script></p><p>HCG is a hormone naturally produced by the placenta when a woman is pregnant. It is the natural hormone, however, does not necessarily mean it is safe to use. After all, tumors occur naturally in the body, as well &#8211; and nobody wants to have a tumor in his body. Therefore, if you are considering using HCG to help weight loss, one of his concerns is whether or not it is likely that the hormone is safe for use.<span id="more-149"></span></p>
<p><strong>HCG and fertility treatments</strong><br />
HCG has long been used by doctors to help women that are experiencing fertility issues or other hormonal problems. As such, it has been deemed both safe and effective to use for this purpose.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the FDA still has not approved HCG for use as a weight loss aid. As with all alternative forms of treatment, the FDA has not been able to find enough substantial evidence through its research to indicate that HCG is effective as a weight loss aid. On the other hand, thousands of people have used HCG and have successfully lost large amounts of weight in a short amount of time.</p>
<p>For women using HCG for fertility treatment, there are some potential side effects. Namely, women using HCG for fertility issues have reported experiencing occasional headaches as well as experiencing symptoms that are commonly associated with pregnancy. For patients using HCG for weight loss, however, these side effects are even rarer because the amount of HCG used is significantly less than that used for fertility purposes.</p>
<p><strong>The HCG diet plan</strong><br />
Another potential source of concern when following an HCG diet is the actual diet plan. In order to follow the HCG plan to its fullest, you are also supposed to maintain a diet of 500 calories per day. Although following a diet with such a small amount of calories would normally be considered unhealthy, it is safe to do while also receiving HCG injections. This is because HCG helps prevent the loss of muscle mass. It also helps dieters retain a high level of energy while suppressing the appetite. Therefore, while it generally would not be considered safe to follow a diet with so few calories, doing so while also receiving the HCG injection is both safe and effective as a weight loss strategy.</p>
<p>If you are going to use HCG to help you lose weight, it is important that you follow the diet protocol properly. In this way, you will have the greatest amount of success with our weight loss program while also keeping yourself safe and your body healthy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fad diets are a type of regimens where you have to eat very provisional diet or unusual mixture of foods for a short time, lose some weight, and perhaps lose little of your first interest and after that pile up those pounds back.</p>
<p>Here are few top 10 diets for you to follow:<span id="more-31"></span></p>
<p><strong>1. The Tapeworm Diet</strong><br />
The Tapeworm Diet secretes proteins in the intestinal tract, which will make the digestion of food less efficient. Less efficient digestive systems that mean you can eat more calories in your food as your “body guest” is as well noshing on it for his growth purposes. Few scientist guess that folks infected with the single tapeworm will lose one or two pounds every week.</p>
<p><strong>2. The Cereal Diet</strong><br />
If you are in search of the good kick-start diet in order to aid you lose weight, cereal diet is the low calorie, low fat and a short-term diet, which will give you good start to the long-term weight loss plan or quick fix if you want to lose few pounds.</p>
<p><strong>3. Hallelujah Diet</strong><br />
The low-calorie vegan diet and heavily supplemented that consists of up to 85% of raw organic foods as well as 15% cooked foods, is a core of faith-based Hallelujah Diet.</p>
<p><strong>4. Chocolate Diet</strong><br />
Chocolate Diet is the attractive Fad Diet as it includes everybody’s much loved food. In addition to Chocolate it as well includes pasta &amp; popcorn. This sounds very tastiest diet.</p>
<p><strong>5. The Feingold Diet</strong><br />
Feingold diet Program is the test to decide if some foods or else food additives are activating any symptoms. It is essentially the way that people use to consume prior to “hyperactivity” &amp; “ADHD” that became household words, also before asthma &amp; chronic ear illness becomes very common.</p>
<p><strong>6. Blood Type Diet</strong><br />
Blood type diet is very effective, as considered by large numbers of people who have given their results. Fascinatingly about 8 out of 10 people have given a positive result from the program that is interesting in light of fact that all of four blood groups contain quite diverse diets.</p>
<p><strong>7. The Hollywood Diet</strong><br />
The Hollywood diet also known as the Hollywood-48 Hour Miracle Diet. This supposed diet claims of having special “Miracle Juice” logically formulated in order that in just 48 hours you will wash your body as well as lose around 10 pounds. Hollywood diet is the combination of generally water with a few muscle losses.</p>
<p><strong>8. Russian Air Force Diet</strong><br />
Russian Air Force Diet is oen more fad diet, which is strict and very low in calories. When on Russian Air Force Diet, you must drink 4 glasses of water or else diet soda every day. You are allowed to add salt, herbs, vinegar, pepper, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard also ketchup on all your meals.</p>
<p><strong>9. Kim Kins Diet</strong><br />
Kim kins works very well and you will not have to spend even one minute wheezing for air at the gym. No weight loss appointments, no exclusive foods, and no surgery. Melt off your fat with the original Kim kins!</p>
<p><strong>10. The Magnetic Diet</strong><br />
Magnetic Diet is the diet plan that is based on concept of the Food Magnetism that posits all foods have the magnetism in which they attract health or else disease to body through compounds &amp; components in the food.</p>
<p>Fad diets should be avoided, because they only cause adverse effects. Fad diets will inevitability kill you. I recommend that you avoid these diets. They will not allow you to start losing weight fast.</p>
