Pineapple Slimming - myths and truth

The main boom pineapple diets and dietary supplements containing bromelain (issued for drugs) has passed, most of those who fell into the trap of advertising that promises rapid weight loss and finally, in pineapples completely disappointed. Since that time itself to understand whether there is a pineapple any action that promotes weight loss.

What Does contained in pineapple

In the pulp of pineapple contains a lot of fiber (it passes through the intestine, remains unchanged and as a broom sweeps the intestines), simple sugars (sucrose, glucose and fructose), organic acids (mostly citric), vitamin C, group B, beta-carotene ( provitamin A), minerals (potassium, iron, copper, zinc, calcium, magnesium, manganese, iodine).

And in a pineapple contains bromelain famous (because it's the whole fuss) - a highly complex proteolytic (ie, decomposing proteins) enzymes. Expanding in the gut proteins, bromelain helps them better assimilation by the body. But a large amount of citric and ascorbic acid can irritate the stomach lining, so the pineapple is not recommended to be used in diseases of the stomach.

So splits pineapple fat or not?

Advertising all sorts of dietary supplements - fat burners says that the pineapple burns fat because of the presence of bromelain in it. However, bromelain - a proteolytic enzyme, which means it breaks down is not fat, and proteins. No other "fat burners" in a pineapple is not, so we can assume that the effectiveness of all drugs containing it, has been greatly exaggerated.

So it turns out the pineapple has no relation to weight loss? As it turned out, it is not so with the help of moderate weight loss can pineapple diet, but, first, not as fast as advertising promises, and secondly, it is not because it has a "fat burner".

Lose weight from pineapple mainly due to improved metabolism and its low calorie content. And since a lot of pineapple fiber, it suppresses the appetite and creates a feeling of satiety.Bromelain, by the way, as it turned out, also helps in this process: the rapid expansion of protein activates the protein metabolism. And in order to build new proteins in the human body needs extra energy - carbohydrate metabolism is activated. Fat is involved in all biochemical processes, and therefore speeds up fat metabolism as well.

But we must understand that this herbal preparation, so the rapid loss of weight after taking it will not. It is necessary not only is Pineapple, but also adhere to the rules of a balanced diet and have adequate exercise.

"Miaozi": weight loss with a game of nerves

Legendary Oriental medicine continue to trust many people. This is especially true of diet pills, otherwise the pharmaceutical market has not enjoyed such great popularity all sorts of "pohudatelnye" products made in China.Periodically, some of them are being replaced by other, more efficient and advanced as assure their vendors.

This new product optimized steel capsules under the name "Miaozi." This is another biologically active food supplement designed to burn extra calories .

Trade capsules "Miaozi" flourishes thanks largely to the Internet. Search engines give dozens of sites where you can arrange an online application form with the drug delivery to anywhere in Russia and CIS countries. On the pharmacy chain, in all probability, the producers of capsules "Miaozi" friendly relations does not add up, and it makes one wonder about many things.

Medicinal plants as a means of disguising

Educated pharmacists, of course, aware that the consumer always prefers natural and safe. In plant extracts, in this sense simply impeccable reputation on what the producers decided to play and "Miaozi." They announced that as a raw material for the manufacture of a miracle capsules use lotus leaves, cassia seed, and hawthorn, sea kale, relict tree ginkgo kupenu flowered and other "hits" of traditional herbal medicine .

Each of these plants has certain therapeutic effects. But it is unclear on what basis the creators of capsules "Miaozi" were a bunch. After all, if, for example, woody mushroom pahima coconut, which is present among the ingredients "Miaozi", is used primarily as a treatment for diarrhea, the cassia, also known as the Seine, on the contrary, oblyadaet pronounced laxative effect.

Sea kale is well proven as an effective treatment for thyroid disease, and hawthorn - as a relaxing and sedative. None of these medicinal plants do not burn fat, does not accelerate the process of splitting it and, moreover, does not regulate the appetite . Also, Solomon's seal, which the producers' Miaozi "represent a source of ascorbic acid and tannins, is actually quite toxic and are almost never used in the manufacture of drugs .

Capsules "Miaozi" really help to lose weight , but the action of powerful herbs and plant extracts are absolutely innocent. The thing is that the basis of the drug is sibutramine - anoreksigennoe substance that causes a person a feeling of fullness. A hawthorn, seaweed and other components - it's just "image" components.

The effect of the plateau: Lose Weight correctly

So, you have developed a nutritional strategy for weight loss, said goodbye to old habits, have refused your favorite dishes. The organism is switched to a new program, and you start to lose weight . Everything goes to ... And suddenly the weight stops falling. In general.

This phenomenon is called the plateau effect - this is the level where the person does not gathering, but more and not losing weight. Achieving the level of the plateau - a common enough phenomenon, which happens to those who are sitting on a diet.

Plateau effect: why it happens?

During the first weeks of the human body responds extremely well on a diet. It adapts to the new standards of food intake, calories consumed less metabolism is faster. With this weight decreases steadily and efficiently. And when the body has become accustomed to a diet, an effect of the plateau - a dietary program is simply outdated. The organism is adapted, daily calorie expenditure has been reduced to a minimum, the process of digestion decreased, as it is now necessary to conserve energy. Diet and physical exercise are no longer yield results. Get rid of extra pounds will be much harder now.

The effect of the plateau has been reached. If the numbers on the scales are on one level, and is the first, second, third week, and little changes, do not give up! Drop everything right now - so step back from the target. You can easily gain back what was lost with the hard work. On the contrary, it is necessary to introduce some amendments to his regime, and then the program is still a success.

The causes of the plateau effect

Same type and insufficient training: meeting the same exercise, lack of load in their execution - all this contributes to the emergence of a plateau effect. Many believe that a little practice will be enough. They do not want to overwork and do not undertake the performance of those exercises that really burn calories and even help prevent sluggish metabolism.

Inadequate food intake: a sense of lethargy, irritability, constant hunger - a signal that the body not getting enough nutrients. A diet with the incredible power of believe that if there is less, the weight will drop. Those who want to get results quickly, often stop eating altogether. Body goes into starvation mode constant, so as to deprive even the most basic. The consequence is a slow metabolism. To ensure normal functioning of any organism still need to consume a certain amount of calories per day. However, if starvation continues, the blood sugar level drops severely, your appetite will only increase. At the next meal will want to eat more, and then more and more.

At a dietary program, and especially women, can affect various factors such as hormone levels, medications, menstrual cycle. Other specific factors that will not let us lose weight, this:

• slow metabolism
• blood sugar / insulin imbalance,
• excess of toxins due to activity of the thyroid gland,
• certain medications ,
• allergies
• stress.

The effect of the plateau can be overcome. The first thing to do - is to review your diet and training plan. Should develop a strategy to clearly move to the target. You must make some changes in the course of diet, exercise. And remember, nothing will change, if we continue in the same spirit and do nothing.
