Swimming to Lose Weight

swimming

swimmingLike most exercises, swimming to lose weight will work for some people and not work for others. The reason behind this is that our body has a very specific method of getting to the point of burning fat. The first stages do not favor fat burn and instead go through a process in which the minor stores of ATP are consumed. At this point the body moves to burning carbs, and at this stage still no fat is being burnt. It is after this low impact exercise is constant that you move into the fat burning zone. [Read more...]

How many calories are in an Apple?

apples

Generally speaking a medium sized Apple would contain roughly 80 calories. This calorie count includes the number of calories from the peel (or skin as some would call it) of the Apple. While it can be a touch distinction between small, medium and large apples, an easier approach is to count 16 calories for every ounce of Apple’s you buy. That way, even if you were to buy 10 ounces of Apples (which is roughly about 1 large and 1 small Apple), you would get an average total of 160 calories. Peeling the Apple would reduce the total by about 10 calories for a medium sized fruit. [Read more...]

Calories in Clementines

celementines

celementinesFor those of you who might not know, a clementine is a fruit and is the smallest of the mandarin oranges Citrus reticulata family. The fruit is a slightly flattened sphere, about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter and is usually sold in bulk, about 50-60 a bag. The glossy, deep orange peel is very loose on the fruit, making the jacket very easy to peel and eat. Unlike the tangerine (another fruit in the same family), the clementine is completely seedless. And, if in fact, you come across a Clementine with seeds, this shows that bees have been at work cross-pollinating the trees with other seeded fruits. All in all, when it comes to the calories in clementines, a 100g potion of Clementines contain between just 35 and 47 calories in total.

Quiznos Calories

quiznos

quiznosI was just surfing around looking at the various nutritional details on different fast food outlets when i noticed that Quiznos has finally published the nutritional information on their website. Its now available via link on the main top menu titled “nutritional information”. Quiznos calories, just looking through the numbers now, is quite scary. Most of the calorie figures (not to mention the sodium and fat levels) are very high, with the least amount of calories in a submarine sandwich was 880 calories on the Turkey Ranch & Swiss, while the highest was on the classic Tuna Melt sub, with an absolutely staggering 1780 calories. The subs are not the only culprits. Even the salads, like the chicken Caesar salad with dressing are a massive 1000 calories. [Read more...]

Weight Loss Herbs

herbs

herbsPeople are always looking for more ways to lose weight, I know I am. Most people would rather use natural remedies or herbs to aid in their weight loss than something that comes in the form of a pill, since we are not really sure what goes into it.  When it comes to natural herbs that supposedly aid weight loss, there are literally hundreds of products available that you see advertised, and they all claim to be natural. But be warned, even though they may contain a specific natural ingredient or are based around the extract of one, they also tend to be populated and mixed in with a lot of other substances which we cannot account for, and with the general lack of a breakdown we would never really know. So when looking for natural herb weight loss remedies, remember to check the ingredients carefully. Very carefully. [Read more...]
