Fennel Tea Weight Loss

As usual before talking about the fennel tea weight loss process let me talk more about few of its benefits, side effects (if it has), etc. As discussed in the previous article about the senna tea, tea in general thanks to names such as the green tea for instance is widely used by those of you who wants to lose some pounds quickly. But as I put in the previous article some of these tea products are used as laxatives and if ignored some of their effects can give birth to some serious illness nonetheless. So let's start with the basics first.

This is produced out of the fennel seed and is being used as a belly problem solver or as a digesting disorder cure to be more "medical". Anyhow this shows us its close nature with the belly and digesting, etc which are among the basics of fat burning. In fact if you can control your hunger (by using low carb meal replacement shakes, high fiber diet plan, etc) then it can really help the over all process.

Fennel tea also has the ability to reduce our greed for sugar or foods with high amounts of sugar. And as you all know high sugar means higher amounts of energies or fat, etc thus can affect really negatively to your health and weight loss goals as well. So it can reduce the hunger for sugar and also can help to control the apatite + improves food digestion which helps to speed up the process of fat break down, etc. Other than that it is also being used as a treatment for urine related problems for instance.

How to Prepare Fennel Tea to Drink

*. Purchase a product or you can use the leaves themselves.

*. Boil some water and you can use about a tablespoon amount to a boiling mug.

*. Close it and let it boil about 5 to 10 minutes.

*. Get it out of the heat.

*. Let it stray for a while (another 5-7 minutes).

*. Consume 1 cup at a time and 3 or 4 times daily. You can drink it while it's hot but not really necessary and can be a bit difficult as well. So let it in the fridge and drink while it's cool. Either way it's fine.

But again if you have some especially health issues then please ask the advice of your doctor first and don't over use it either. And if you have allergic to fennel (leaves, etc) then after consuming you may feel itching, swellings, etc. And if used in larger quantities can be toxic as well. So be careful while using it for your fennel tea weight loss goal.

Thanks for visiting the meal replacement shakes blog.

Senna Tea Weight Loss

Senna tea weight loss is another somewhat popular buzz (maybe not as much as green tea or oolong tea for burning fat but..) still this is widely used by the overweight individuals to get a much better naked looking slimmer body. This tea is made out of the plant leaves called Senna which is actually widely used as a ornamental plant also. Anyhow let's have a look at some of it's benefits such as how it can help to lose few pounds quickly or is it really possible?, etc type questions.


It doesn't have rich aroma ingredients and as a results it tends to be a bit lesser in bitter taste than the green tea can be. And also a little bit of grassy taste can be seen as well. Senna leaves contains few other types of things such as anthraquinones and because of this in the medical community it is often used as a laxative (natural one). But be careful if you're using these type of laxative products as I recently reviewed about trying to losing weight with laxatives article that you'll almost always be better off without them.

Anyway since the senna tea contains these ingredients as a safety issue please contact your doctor before trying. Now let's talk about how you can prepare it to drink.

Preparation

This can be prepared in two different ways. You can either choose a product which can save some of the time that it takes to prepare or you can use the "old" method which helps to preserve some of the "natural" values, etc. Either way it's your choice.

Method - 1

*. Pick some of the senna leaves from the trees and crush them well (first wash them thoroughly). Then after the crushing is done put then into bowl of water and let it boil (at lest 16 - 20 minutes or few hours will be better).

*. Then consume twice a day (using a normal size tea cup for instance).


Method - 2

*. First purchase a product.

*. Boil some water (about 1.5 - 2 cups for instance, read the user manual that comes with the product or contact the manufacture for more details).

*. Boil it about 5-10 minutes or longer for better results (helps the water to consume the ingredients or absorb, etc).

*. Again consume twice daily (morning and in the late afternoon).

And as general tips which applies to the both methods - Eat lighter meals or low carb meal replacement shakes, make sure to include vegetables and fruits (read this article about foods that make you lose weight for more information) and do your daily home exercises.

But please be aware that using more than enough of laxatives (both natural and man-made products) can give birth to some serious health issues if cared less. So again my advice is that you should go to your doctor first because using higher amounts of senna tea can give abdominal cramps or pains, weaker muscles and water levels drops are just a few to name. So remember those things before starting out the senna tea weight loss process.

Green Coffee Weight Loss

Green coffee weight loss is actually possible due to some of the ingredients that it contains which has the ability to stimulate and participate in anti-oxidation activities in your body. But this is not a new thing and anti-oxidation is widely seen in other very popular tea products such as geen tea and ooleng tea for losing weight for instance and helps to improve the rate of breaking downing of protein and fat. So let's talk some of the basic first.

How is it produced?

One of the main benefits of green coffee lies in the way that it is produced. These coffee beans are kept without roasting until they reach the end user thus resulting a longer freshness + helps to protect the ingredients. There are even especial toaster for this but a popcorn toaster would just do the job. And as a general rule of thumb it is recommended not to toast in higher quantities (day or two needing amount, etc) to keep the freshness.

Other than burning fat it is known to help you to avoid,

*. Type two diabetic

*. Lower cholesterol levels and

*. Also has the ability to avoid gaul stones (in men) are just a few of main health benefits.

How Does Green Coffee Weight Loss Works?

*. Chlorogenic Acid.

Well an acid called Chlorogenic-Acid is found in it which is actually a common ingredient which is found generally in coffee and has the ability to stimulate antioxidant related process (as discussed earlier) and most importantly it is shown by researches that it also has the ability to lower the sugar levels in your blood steams after eating food.

*. Less Body Fat

It was proved by few scientist that by consuming green coffee daily (in the proper amounts of course) has the ability to lower fat levels up 30% in your body (because of things that it consists of such as explained above, etc).

*. Caffeine.

Well you can't avoid caffeine when it comes to coffee and it is shown to have few of the positive results concerning losing few pounds but not in significant amounts.

1. But since caffeine has the ability to reduce the apatite (which is also done by meal replacement shakes for weight loss products and high fiber diet plan, etc) which can help the whole process

2. Even though there isn't enough evidences to say it can hugely boost this but still it can help to burn some calories for instance. 

But remember too much of Caffeine can give you trouble rather than helping such as insomnia for instance. So don't over do it.

And remember before purchasing these products they should approved by the US food and drug administration (look at the product detail section for more).

Further more according to Hiroshi Shimoda if you eat 1 kilogram of food daily and if make sure to include around 10 grams of green coffee bean extract for about two weeks then it was shown to reduce 35% of weight gain during that time period (in 2006). He further more showed that other than the caffeine it is actually the upper written Chlorogenic acid is behind this improvement and says under higher temperatures the acid will be destroyed and as a result various other substances will be released which are behind the scene helping the faster fat burning, etc.

But please remember this won't bring any miracles but by taking the necessary amounts daily will help. And just don't rely on the liquids but make sure to do some home exercises and eat only healthy foods which can really help to improve the whole process of green coffee weight loss. Thank you.

Oolong Tea Weight Loss

Oolong tea weight loss (also known as WuLong) is another widely used liquid for losing weight although not as famous as the Green tea counterpart but it does has its own benefits that are well worthy of looking into. I saw some of the user recommendations from mothers who had some pretty good results when trying to burn some of the fat after childbirth using the oolong tea (has the meaning black dragon) as well. But as usual before going into those details let's first some of the basics first.

What is it?

This is another Chinese founded tea which has a long history. The color is can be though as something that is in between both green and blue. The taste is also a bit different that some of the other tea products and leaves a little bitterness + some sweet flavorings. And there also few variants of this tea can be seen in few of the countries as well.

Containing Ingredients?

Apart from the weight loss it also few of the other health benefits because of some of the ingredients such as,

*. Catechin

Which adds the bitterness and which is also an antioxidant meaning it has the ability stimulate oxidation on other cells in the body thus resulting a faster fat and protein breaking downing process after eating meals and is one of the reasons it's popularity behind weight loss community.

*. Polyphenol

Another antioxidant like the Catechin and also has the ability to reduce cardiovascular disease and cancer, etc.

*. Teaflavin

This helps to to reduce and control higher cholesterol levels in your body. So not only it helps to get rid of unnecessary fat but also helps to protect your heart from heart attacks, etc.

*. Thearubigins

Another flavor adding substance (which is seen on all tea leaves and adds the Black color in Black tea for instance).

These are just a few to name but the question is that now how can it help to lose your body weight?. Now as you can remember oxidation is highly related to food digestion (or metabolism) and the more healthy metabolic system that you have inside your body the easy it'll be for your body to digest food and extract those fat and sugar compounds and actually use them in your daily activities thus resulting a more efficient calorie and fat burning process. So this is one benefit that you can get from by drinking ooleng tea. Not only this helps to lose some weight but also by keeping this "body engine" healthy can help to prevent any weight gain in the future as well.

Oolong tea also has the ability to reduce the amounts of triglycerides (in a language everyone can understand triglycerides is how fat is contained in foods). But losing too much of triglycerides can have bad side effects as well such as diabetes and related health issue for instance. Anyway it is recommended to have it under 150 mg/dL which is the normal level.

The ooleng tea also has the ability to reduce weight or fat around your belly (which one of the reasons of behind the above mentioned weigh loss after childbirth, etc). But after saying all these please remember that this is not a magic or the miracle method that you wished so long to get rid of some of the pounds overnight, which this is not. And in fact according to some researches Green tea is found to be more efficient fat burner than the oolong tea. Anyhow, let's have a look at how to prepare it to drink and in what quantity you need to consume it.

How to Prepare it to Drink?

So make sure you have a oolong tea leaves ready and a cup of boiling water also. Then,

1. Pour the boiled water to a tea pot and put few of the tea leaves into the warm pot (the leaves should be around 5-6% of the total tea pot capacity)

2. Then pour more water to on to the tea pot (on top of the leaves, etc).

3. And now finally remove (use a spoon or paper, etc) the bubbles which are floating on the tea...

4. Cover the pot and let it be there for few minutes...

5. And after few minutes pour the tea into your drinking cups and drink!, that's it.

To get the better results by not destroying some of the oxidation abilities and different tastes you can use water not after boiled but when they reach temperatures around 90 degrees of Celsius for instance but this again is not a huge thing and you can experiment yourself also if you like.

How often Should I drink it?

Usually two or three times daily will be the accepted amounts but depending on the manufacture and ingredients this will change. Look at the description section for more details.

So I hope oolong tea weight loss review was helpful and remember make sure to do your daily exercises to get the maximum out of it and meal replacement shakes can be also helpful. But avoid those dies soda products.

Home Exercises To Lose Weight

Performing home exercises to lose weight have several benefits of their own. First, it's cheap (or zero cost usually), since you're doing it inside of your house you don't have to worry about driving your car with sweaty clothes after the workout and also you don't have to worry about how better "others" are looking or how much they've "accomplished" (which of course can work in both ways, btw) and most importantly for some people where they do better while at competitive surroundings but others they do exceptionally well when left alone. So if you have the latter characteristics then you can benefit more than anyone actually.

But before moving into the exercises list I must tell you that depending on your age, weight, etc and also if you already have certain kind of illnesses such as heart problems, low and high blood pressures, etc then before doing these fitness exercises please go and get your doctor's opinion first which is a must to avoid difficulties. And one other thing as I pointed out in the previous article about does drinking water help you lose weight make sure to drink water within 30 minutes of time intervals to get the maximum results and also to avoid dehydration, etc.

Now let's talk about some of the physical fitness exercises that you can do to burn some of that fat. And again remember before doing exercises you must make sure that your muscles receives enough amounts of blood thus making them more elastic which not only helps to improve while bending, pushing, etc but helps tremendously to avoid unnecessary muscle strains which can sometimes take months to fully heal. So...

Do these Warm up Exercises first

*. You can start by performing leg stretches first for this. To do this (see the below picture) bend your upper body and try to touch your toe with your fingers on the right leg first and then come up and go for the left leg toe. Do this several times until you feel some heat (temperatures) risings on your thigh muscles, back, etc.

*. Another thing that you do is (sees the picture below) try to bend and bring your knees up (until they touch the abdominal area - this will be difficult for beginners so do as far as you can) and at the maximum stretched position (touching the belly) keep it there for few seconds and then move to the other knee. Do this few times to let blood come to your knees which helps to add some elastic abilities to them and will make them stronger also.

*. And you can also use few of these that are described in the picture as well and make sure to do some light exercises for your arms (as in the pictures) before moving into the next section.

Few Exercises to Lose Weight at Home

1. Push-ups.

This is one of the most basic exercises actually and as the name suggests all you have to do is push up and down. To do this keep your legs straight and hands beneath and come down (using your hands as the weight holders) until your chest gently touches the ground and then go up until your hands are fully unfolded.

2.  Use the Stair Case

If you have a stair case then try to walk as fast as you can from the bottom to the up. And then from up to the bottom again. This is another great way to lose some of the fat on your thigh especially.

3. Jumping Rope

This is my personal favorite and the reason is simple I've had tremendous success with this exercises when it comes to losing few pounds and with the proper amounts both in the exercise and the food I've lost few pounds within few days (3-4).

To do this you'll need a rope although the best ones has to be purchased (with ball bearings, etc) but a normal nylon rope would be just fine (that's what I use still). Now this is a bit difficult first and after few days you'll get used to the rhythm and it'll be real easy after wards.

Now hold the both ends of the rope in your palms and the rule for the proper length is when you hold them on the ends of both sides then drop the hands (while still holding the nylon rope) to your knees and the curved rope should still be touching the ground (not by that much but just enough....).

Now as in the picture angel your hands a little bit and rotate the rope and let it go beneath your legs and when they pass the legs jump. And again don't jump too much just enough for the rope to pass is the best amount. And first you'll be able to do it like 60 seconds without stopping and even to do it without a trouble will take few days. But don't give up and I guarantee if you want to lose weight fast this is one of the best exercises out there. And as the time goes you'll be able to do each session about 8-10 minutes. I do this at least 3 days per week about (15 minutes each time). To reach this timeframe will take some time but trust me it's totally worth it!.

If you have weight loss meal replacement shakes (whey protein shakes and other liquid diets, etc) then you can drink them after the workout and remember to drink some water which is also essential to you. There are other workouts that you can do to lose some of the belly fat, etc which I will be explaining in a future article until then do few of these at home exercises to lose weight and again if you have health issues please go see your doctor first.

Does Drinking Water Help You Lose Weight

The answer to does drinking water help you lose weight question might surprise most of you but yes! it can actually help to get rid of some of the weight. So first of all let's have a look at the water and different ingredients or what it consists first (in a way everyone can understand) and then in the middle and the latter sections I'll talk about how much and in what quantity that you have to take in order to achieve the best fat burning results, etc.

The drinkable water consists of,

Water is one of the main building blocks of all living creatures and also over 70% of the earth consist of water including 60%-55% grown adults bodies also. Water consists of many things which are ranging from minerals to vitamins, etc. And when it comes to metabolic processes (food digesting, fat breaking downing, etc) water also has a major role to play (helping to control PH levels, etc) and also keep your kidneys healthy as well.

It consist,

*. Salt - Although if you take excessive amounts then that can create some bad health effects such as high blood pressures, hearth diseases but salt (comes in sodium) is an another essential mineral that your body needs in the proper amounts. A weaker salt amounts in your body can cause muscle pains and cramps for instance. But most importantly salt has zero calories and zero amounts of fat also. So it's an essential ingredient but has no negative effects on losing weight thanks to that. And depending on your age, etc the daily amount will differ but it is recommended to get at least 1500 milligrams per day (just below the size of a teaspoon).

*. Calcium - Another very important ingredient which helps to grow bones and teeth, etc and is recommended to have 1000-1200 milligrams per day (8 cups of water will give you 1/3 of that requirement).

*. Fluoride - Helps to protect teeth against decay .

*. Magnesium - Again helps for various important body related processes but more importantly improves the metabolism of proteins (breaking down protein) which help to reduce some of the muscle weight, etc.

*. Calories - None, zero, this is another benefit since more calories means more energy and your body stores energy in many forms such as fat, muscles. So zero calories means zero fat with every glass of water. But remember that calorie is a MUST and should be consumed in the proper amounts daily.

So this is just a little list of what it consists of but even from the list you can see that by drinking water to lose weight (in the proper amounts) can help to gain a lean body by stimulating various body related processes such as metabolism, acid neutralizing, etc. 

So how much you should drink and when?,

Well for the average person needs about 8-10 glasses of water (eight ounces of each glass) per day but this depends on the body size (weight). So if you're an overweight individual then you should consume an additional 8 ounces for every 25 overweight you have. To determine that you need to calculate your BMI (body mass index) and you can use this calculator for that. 

And while doing exercises (ask your doctor if you have heart, blood pressures, etc problems before doing physical activities) you must drink more because your body uses water as a way of getting rid of heat (energy) or as a carrier. This also depends on your weight, outside temperatures, etc. 

For instance a person with a slimmer body can run, job for a longer period of time but for an overweight person requires more in lesser time. Anyhow it is widely accepted that you'll have to consume a glass of water after 30 minutes of doing exercises. And remember don't over do it nor drink it less either. 

How to say if your body needs more water?,

There is a simple trick that you can use for this and that is when you urinate if the urine is nearly clear then your body haven't got the proper amounts probably (there could be many other reasons, kidneys, etc). 

So, can or does drinking water help you lose weight, yes it does and remember these things before doing anything. Use the BMI calculator and calculate your daily need of water and drink some more during exercise or workout sessions to burn more fat and if you have more questions please ask your doctor.

Laxatives To Lose Weight

Using or taking laxatives to lose weight is another popular buzz among the overweight individuals nowadays. Although as appealing it may look but you'll have to be really careful when thinking about consuming laxatives because according to many medical experts there are certain dangers lies in the process. So before talking more about the issue let me brief you with laxatives themselves. 

Bad side effects of laxatives (when used carelessly)

*. Laxatives are mainly being used for loosing feces in human body (Osmotic agents, stool softeners and stimulants, are just a few types to name)  and is not something really new but has been around for a very long time (from the ancient times). But when it comes to losing weight it's major role (or what these individuals think it helps at lest) is to loosen and "take out" some quantities of undigested foods in your stomach.

But this is not true according to experts, since they will only work within the colon rather than the stomach so by the time the food reach the colon all the fat, sugar, calories are already consumed!.

Now this brings us to the main point of their popularity in this field is that unlike the most safest methods where you have to forcefully control your hunger and limit foods with less sugar, etc but while using these pills you can eat (well not as much as you want but you can be less controlling) foods since they'll make sure they're out before consumed fully.  

So this serves the main reason behind all these fat burning issues which is the greed for food. For all the overweight people if they can control this and do some exercises then you'll lose weight as the time goes on which a the best guaranteed way and is unbeatable also. But this is hard to achieve to do and people always search for easy ways to do it. Thus they end up with methods like using laxatives.

Other health damages

Back to the talk again.., now it is shown that when used for a long time these chemical pills can cause diarrhea. And if used excessively for a longer periods of time might drag you to the point where you can't even control the process (diarrhea, etc). Just think about it when you're on a bus or walking on a public park you won't even have time to think or do anything it'll just happen! , how embarrassing it can be.

Not only the embarrassment but also other serious health effects such as intestinal paralysis, eating disorders (also used as a cure too), weaker metabolism "engine" (which is a helper more than an enemy if you want to lose body fat) are just a few. But remember these are one of the main processes that you body require to stay healthy and should not cared less.

And when having diarrhea you loose more water and again if continued for a long time less water in your body can give birth to unhealthy kidneys, blood pressure problems, headaches, vomiting, skin and muscle problems are just a few to mention. 

So why it is believed to be a weight loss method?

This is because as mentioned above, what these products do is by losing stool and stimulating diarrhea it takes a big amounts of water out of the body. So as most of us know since most of our bodies consist of water (over 55% for grown adults - the more age less the amounts) and when you lose water in bigger amounts you feel like you've lost weight but in fact even though you want to lose weight what's more important is the way you lose it.

Or in other words you want to burn fat not by removing excessive amount of water from your body but by removing fat, sugar, cholesterol type energies. They both seems to do the same thing but when considered the health related problems losing water can be deadly and losing the "right" amounts of sugar, cholesterol, etc make you more healthier on the other hand by lowering blood pressure, more healthy metabolic stomach, etc.

But you can use natural meal replacement shakes for losing weight, whey protein, low carb shakes, for this purposes and always stay away from diet soda products. But even before using these methods you must go to see your doctor and get his advice first which is a must.

So as a final conclusion if you're thinking about how to use laxatives to lose weight then my opinion is don't!, because everywhere you look or read you hear only negative feedback from people and this has to be expected if you understood the above written content. Thank you.

How Weight Loss Works

I'm going to answer the question how weight loss works in this article because if you want to lose few pounds but don't have at least a basic understanding about the process then as you progress with your goal, it can help you to hold on in times such as when you're so desperate for "results" but it seems almost impossible to achieve for instance. So let's have a look at how your body lose fat process in a more biological point of view (but in a sense anyone can understand it).

The Basics

Most of our bodies are made out of water. In a newborn the amounts are as high as 75% but as we age the water levels go down and in adults it is around 60% - 55%. And others (which is our primarily concerns) such as fat and muscles are also among the most widely known to everyone. Anyway both fat and muscles can be thought as fuel for your body which is burned while we work. So the more work you do more fat and calories we burn. 

What is Calorie

Calorie is the standard method of measuring energy which is bind with heat ( this was first defined by Nicolas Clément in 1824). Some get confused by fat and calories but in fact fat is actually another foam of energy thus since energy is defined as calories (not the only method but only basic idea) so the fat is a foam of energy/calorie. 

So How Can I lose Weight 

Well now you get the idea and what you have to do in order to achieve this goal but let me brief you with some basics, again. First let me explain how your body stores energy thus resulting weight gain. Now when we eat food (high calories, fat, cholesterol, etc) the body digest it and store it in many forms. One as fat, secondly as muscles. But all you do all day long is keep eating food but no exercises then the stored energies have nowhere else to go and as the time goes on if you keep eating more than enough little by little you'll gain more fat thus making you over weight person.

So there are few things you can do.

1. Eat foods healthy food (with required amounts of calories and fat of course).

By eating these types of foods can really help you to control sugar levels for instance which can reduce the possibility of diabetic and other related illnesses. Read more about weight loss foods from here.  

2. Do your Exercises.

This is a must especially if you intake higher amounts of protein and don't do any workouts, since it is proven by researchers that people with a history of kidney related issues can have some bad side effects with the added protein and can do some damages to your kidneys. But for those of you who don't have any kidney related problems this does not seems to concern. But never avoid your exercises which is among one of the best and safe ways of losing weight.

3. Try some of the good meal replacement shakes.

But remember even though there are really natural substances included products, but if you're a teenager (age below 18) these products are not recommended. And always keep away from diet soda products.

4. Try some of the whey protein for gaining lean muscles.

Whey protein is one of the best "purified" protein types of all and which includes very little amounts of sugar and cholesterol (also fat, etc). But since this is made out of cow milk if you have allergies then pay extra attention (if you're buying a product of course) and look for some of the especial products that have the ability to avoid these allergies.

So anyway, these are among few ways that you can put together a good answer for the how weight loss works, popular question and please remember before doing anything there are few of the things that you should be aware of (BMI, daily calorie needs, etc) so please go and ask you doctor first which is a must.

High Fiber Diet Plan

High fiber diet plan is a very effective meal plan for losing weight (also just as a nutriment improvements, etc) if done properly. The reason I put it this way is that even though this is a well known metabolic enhancer and controller (in a positive way) but nothing is perfect and anything more than enough is not good for anyone. So before learning about diet or meal plans for burning fat and gaining a lean body let's first discuss some of the most important things including it's types, in which foods you can find them in the higher amounts, etc.

Now fiber can be categorized into two main portions and the one that human life or our bodies are interested (which these two types consists of) is called dietary fiber because there are other types that our bodies are not capable of consuming.

1. Soluble

Usually comes (or related to) fatty acids and has the ability to make your stomach feels full (if consumed in higher amounts, usually can be seen with meal replacement shakes for instance). And also has the ability to lower the cholesterol amounts in blood, etc which is another big benefit for burning more fat efficiently.

2. Insoluble

This is the other main type and has the ability to neutralize PH levels in the body which also helps to break down cholesterol and fat thus resulting a faster wight losing times. Also has the ability to help prevent certain types of cancer such as colon cancer, etc.

And in general dietary fiber also help to others health related presentations by,

*. By turning water into gel while food digesting thus resulting lower absorption levels of sugar.

*. Reduces heart diseases by controlling LDL cholesterol (stands for low density lipoprotein) levels. 

*. Also can improve and prevent several types of metabolic related syndromes, are just a few to mention.

So now as you can see both of these types are useful and has to be consumed in the proper amounts to get or achieve your desired results. So lets talk about some of the high fiber foods list (recipes) or few high fiber diet plan in other words. .

*. Vegetables

You can find higher amounts of fiber in vegetables such as Beans, Avocado, Greens, Corn, Peas, Potatoes with skin, Rhubarb, Turnip Green (used boiled), Carrot, Tomato paste, etc.

*. Fruits

Fruits such as Apples, Banana, various types of berries (blueberry, raspberries, etc), Pear, Prunes, Guava, Oranges, Strawberries, etc.

*. Other types of foods such as,

Bran Cereals/Flakes, whole grain, peanuts, walnuts, Cashews, Barley, Oatmeal, Brown Rice, Popcorn, Bread, etc.

So what is the amount that you should use. Well according to the medical experts grown woman should intake around 20 grams of fiber per day while grown men will need 30 grams daily. There are breakfast cereals that contains higher amounts of fiber which makes it easier for you consume daily without having to worry about all these fruits and vegetables and can save some time also. But again remember the more natural the better it will be and while preparing some of the vegetables, some will have to be consumed as raw while others half boiled, etc to get the best out of them.

And remember few of these bad side effects of fiber as well.

*. Diarrhea - Yes, which among the second most cause behind infant deaths around the world. So make sure not to over do anything but not a huge concern for grown adults but be careful.

*. Abdominal Discomfort - Another common thing although not as bad as the above mentioned one but any discomfort in the belly area won't be pleasant.

*. Weight gain - Yes, although usually not in a bigger scale but won't help you if you want to look better.

*. And sometimes too much fiber consuming can lower other vitamins and mineral absorption as well.  

But if you keep the required amounts at 20-30 grams per day (even a bit higher values) you'll be just fine, so don't make a huge problem out of it. So I hope this high fiber diet plan details were useful and again remember not only you can use these methods as a general nutrition plan but will also help to lose some of that weight as well.

Easy Weight Loss for Teens

Easy weight loss for teens is achievable by doing it two ways (both positive and negative). And the dangers or negative outcomes usually lies in these so called fast methods because usually these ways have a tendency to neglect few of the most important facts when it comes to teenagers and their health. So first let's talk the basics.

According to the standards teenagers are considered to be individuals who are it their age between 13-19. So before going any further make sure according to your BMI (body mass index) whether you're an underweight or overweight young individual. For that you can use this calculator.

And then remember the following things. This period of your life is one of the most important (I'm sure you hear this all the time but...) time of you life (especially concerning both mental and physical health) but sad it seems that according to some of the researches that were done in United Kingdom a while ago showed that teen in their 4-18 of age did suffer some food based nourishment deficiencies.

So before thinking about loosing weight you should first consider how much daily nourishment you already taking because if you're still behind these daily requirements then you should not attempt any diet plans until you consume healthy foods (which helps to burn fat also) first. So make sure you have the following things first which applies to all of you who are at 11-18 years old.

*. If you're a boy the your body needs 2500-2800 of calories daily to keep up with bones and muscle growth, etc. And for girls in this age range will need to consume around 2200 calories daily.

*. Both sexual parties need to consume around 44-60 grams of protein through both fruits and vegetables. Although whey protein is a good fat burner but some of these products come with the age requirements of over 18 years. So when choosing make to ask some help (from a doctor for instance).

And without having to worry about these products you can just eat foods that contains higher amounts of protein such as Beef, Eggs, Soy protein (also a great metabolic enhancer which help to get a lean body), Beans and Nuts are just a few.

*. Calcium is a must for teenagers since this is the time where your body gain momentum concerning bones growth, teeth, etc. So make sure to eat foods that contains 1200 milligrams of Calcium daily.

For this you can eat Milk, Cheese, Cereals (some don't have it - make sure to check the ingredient list), Low fat Yogurt, Navy Beans, Orange, Salmon are just a few that comes into my memory right now.

*. Iron is another very important thing to consume for your body which helps to enhance the oxidation related (in cells, etc) body processes. For boys it is recommended getting at least 12 milligrams and for girls just a bit higher which is around 15 milligrams.

Eat foods such as Beans and Peanuts and almost all sort of green type vegetables such as Spinach, Peas, Potato and Beetroot are again a few to mention.

By eating a healthy daily meals not only helps to grow fast and safe but also can help to prevent heart diseases and other illnesses as well. So I think you have the basic idea now and let's move on and talk about different types of things that you can do to achieve some easy weight loss for teens.

*. Control your early childhood eating patterns or Cure disorders.

If you have developed eating disorders as a child such as Bulimia nervosa for instance (over eating to put it into simple terms) then seek proper help first.

*. Avoid consuming liquid diet weight loss products such as diet soda because these products (Coca cola, soda, etc) can really give negative outcomes rather than helping you because they contain higher amounts of sugar and some other chemicals which can create fluctuations in digesting process, etc. Even though meal replacement shakes are really better than them and more healthier still at your age they are also not recommended.

Remember the reason is really simple actually. At this time period it is really easy to make adjustments rather than when it comes to 30, 40 and beyond since adults needs more help than you do and as with the age the process becomes harder and harder.

*. Eat foods that have low amounts of Calories and fat (sugar, etc) as listed above. But again make sure to consume your required amounts (read this article for more foods to lose weight healthily) and a proper advice from a doctor is a must.

*. Do some exercises

Yep rather than falling into a pattern of watching TV or playing with Computers all day long do some physical exercises such as running, jogging, swimming (excellent), bikes and various other exercises, etc. But if you have asthma or related illness please, again get the professional advices. And if you're thinking about doing some weight lifting, etc make sure to get help from a personal trainer first.

*. Avoid Fast Foods

This is another crucial thing that seems to destroy the health of the youth because of ingredients such as a lot of oil, sodium (lot of) and various other flavors, etc thus resulting a meal with higher amounts of fat and calories.

*. Don't over do your exercises.

This can again have a negative affect on your body thus minimizing bone and muscle growth if done in an excessive manner. So do it in the proper amount and the for best results find exercises programs that includes professional advisers, etc.

*. Say no to Diet Pills.

Although there can be good ones too but still at this age it is not recommended to use these products. So try to avoid them.

*. Drink Water.


Water is a basic element of all life forms. And in humans over 60% of our bodies consists of water. So drink your daily required amount which is for teens 7-8 glasses, etc.

*. Cut down eating intervals.

In another words eat 4-5 times a day but these meals has to be equal to the usual needed 3 meals. So each of these 4-5 ones will consists of somewhat lesser amounts than the standard 3 counterparts.

 So anyway, I hope that I put together a reasonable answer to the easy weight loss for teens question and depending on your age, gender, height, etc the weight loss rate might wobble (fast, slow, etc). But if you follow these simple rules it is not an impossibility to achieve.

How To Lose Weight While Breastfeeding

How to lose weight while breastfeeding is one of the main concerns among women in their post pregnancy period. Even though apart from this method there are however few other popular ways that you can loose weight after a recent childbirth and I recommend that you read that article also for achieving the best possible results. Now before going any further let's talk some of the main ingredients of breast milk which makes is easier to understand the whole process and get a good picture of how this is possible.

*. Water - Breast mile contains a lot of water in comparison with other types of milk such as cow's and all sort of mammals. 

*. Iron - This is another major ingredient that is needed by almost all types of living organisms and helps to processes such as oxidation in our bodies and Iron is usually can be seen with protein.

*. Casein - This is another type of protein which consists of over 80% of many sorts of protein types (especially in cow milk and cheese, etc).

*. Calories - Breast milk according to doctors and researchers includes about 20 calories per ounce. Now in the standard measurements this is not a high calories container but not a low carb liquid either. Anything that has more than 24-26 of calories (per ounce) is accepted as a high calorie container. So breast milk falls just a little bit shorter of being an extremer.

*. Lactose - This is another form of sugar this is again found in many types of milks usually covers around 2-8% of milk.

*. Vitamin C - Another very popular substance and is used as a cure for many types of illness and has the ability to solve imbalance problems in cell repairing, etc (highly related to oxidation).  
 
*. DHA - This stands for Docosahexaenoic acid which usually consists of 0.07% to 1% and mainly consumed through eating fish, etc and also a commercially made substance which can be seen in many baby milk products and also helps to grow healthy new cells in babies brain.

*. Amylase - This is an Enzyme (another type of protein substance) which helps to digest foods, etc.

So even though there are many other ingredients can be seen in breast milk I will stop it here since this is enough to make a conclusion concerning this matter. As you can see most of these vitamins, minerals, etc contains higher amounts of sugar, protein and calories. So the more you give it away (or feed the new born baby) means more energy giving away thus resulting a weight loss.

But remember this is (again according to some respectable researchers) is known to take some time and not a quicker way but usually takes about 10 months to a whole year until you settle back to your "before" pregnancy weight mass.

And remember as you feed your baby and giving away energy it is also important to do it more safely or in other words make sure your body receives all the proper nutrition it needs. So eat healthy foods that help to loose weight and do some exercises in the mean time to get the best results. Also remember getting the advice of your doctor is a must before doing anything + if you're just a few pounds of higher than usual weight limit you should not try to use any fat burn, lean muscle type products without again asking for your doctor's advice. 

So here are few of the tips for how to lose weight while breastfeeding

*. Make sure the baby is at least two months old before trying out any diets liquids, etc.  

*. Eat foods that enhances your metabolism.

1. The more efficient your body is at breaking down foods or digesting them in another words (which is a basic definition of metabolic process) which helps to burn fat more quickly the better you'll achieve your results. So make sure to get a healthy breakfast. And the reason is that the lesser quality energy that is provided to the cell the less efficient and active they'll become which can affect negatively for quicker muscle and weight loss.

2. Do exercises - Exercises can really help to boost up your metabolism and consume or burn more calories and energy. And remember don't try to do or push yourself hard first because a certain body failure can not only affect but especially affect our baby too. So you can start doing few exercises such as I put in this post as a video (especially for loosing belly fat) look at the bottom of the article.

3. Try to avoid foods that contain higher amount of sugar levels -  Such as Fried fast foods (french fries, etc), Cereals with high sugar amounts, Candy, always avoid weight loss type soda when losing weight while breastfeeding (or anything with high sugar), Red meat and eggs are just a few to name. 

4. Eat foods that have more fiber in them - Fiber has the ability to let your belly feel "full" for a longer period of time thus helps to avoid meals within meals type habits (vegetables such as Carrot, Avocado, Potato, etc).

*. Breastfeed him/her for a longer period of time.

According to some of the recent researches done by various medical groups it was found that mothers who breastfeed their babies over periods of 5-6 months time were able to get the best results in comparison with mothers who only did it for a shorter periods.

*. Know your Minimum Calorie requirement.

  According to experts you should not eat foods that in total gives you below 1500 calories per day. So keep it 1500-1800 mark.

*. Even if you don't use any of the meals, diets, etc but by just doing breastfeeding your child you should see loosing weight rate around 1.4-1.6 kg for the first six months and after the first 6 months you should see an increase. So make sure not to hush it and go with a steady healthy rate (ask your doctor for more advices).

*. Eat foods that have more...

1. Calcium (Sardines, Red and Pinto Beans, Fruits, Yogurt, etc)  

2. Zinc (Lima Beans,Wild Turkey, Chickpeas, Whet Germ, Roasted Pumpkin, Cocoa Powder, etc)

3. Magnesium (Brown Rice, Cooked Spinach, Almonds, Black eyed peas, etc)

4. Vitamin B6 (Banana, Fish, Salmon, Spinach, Tuna, etc)

are just a few to name.

If you have eating disorders such as Binge eating disorder, Purging, etc then again you must see a doctor a nutrition expert before choosing foods. And some studies have shown that after doing physical exercises the lactic acid level in breast milk seems to include a bit higher amounts and babies seems to like it less when trying to feed after doing exercises although this has no serious affect concerning both the mother and the child's health. And it is also recommended by experts not to take any fat burning meal replacement shakes without proper advices from your consultant, etc.

So these are among the best and safest answers when it comes to how to lose weight while breastfeeding. I hope you found this useful and if you have questions please leave comments.

Eating Disorders

Weight Loss After Childbirth

Weight loss after childbirth or pregnancy is another very common need that all the female individuals with a recent child birth has to face. One of the reasons behind this need is the weight gain requirement that has to be achieved during pregnancy period which is a basic need for both the mother and the child inside of her womb. Because more nutrition's are needed now more than ever for again both you and the child and more weight means more energy or calories, etc thus serves the needs of the hunger for both individuals.

Depending on you weight you have and few other things the weight gain amounts will differ but according to the Institute of Medicine certain increase of calories has to be consumed through foods, drinks, etc. And and if your BMI (body mass index) is around 18.5 to 25 (use this calculator) will have to gain additional 11-16 kg of mass. And if you're below the 18.5 BMI mark then you're an underweight female individual and will have to gain 12.7 - 18 kg of weight. Even if you're an overweight already still it is recommended for increasing up to 6.8-11.3 kg.

Anyway our primary concern here is what you have to do after the childbirth (or pregnancy period) in order to burn some of that fat (and muscles) and posses a lean body. So here are few of the things that you can do. And remember if any of these confuse you just remember these few words, eat healthy foods and do some exercises! that's the most simplest way to achieve this.

*. Eat foods that has lesser amounts of calories and protein. But remember assuming that you're still breast feeding the new born then make sure still gain the all the proper nutriments in their proper amounts.

For this you can eat foods that has higher amounts of fiber. Higher amounts of fiber can be found on vegetables such as Avocado, Carrot, Lima Beans, Eggplant, Mushrooms, Sweet Potatoes, Broccoli, Spinach are just a few to name.

For fruits you can eat Banana, Apples, Kiwi, Figs, Blueberries, Grapefruit, Oranges, Guava and Apricots are just a few.

What the fiber do to help burn more fat thus resulting helping in loosing weight is that it has the ability to control your apatite (in a good way) or has the ability to make your stomach feels full for a longer period of times thus avoiding a reasonable amounts foods intake.


*. Switch to smaller but frequent meals

So replace your usual 3 meals (+ the additional this and that in between, etc) with smaller but more meals (5 meals per day will be best).

This again will help you to avoid some of the hunger that arises in between meals and rather than filling them with junk "quick" food what you're now doing is splitting up your main meals (which includes proper nutrition, etc) and consume better foods instead.

*. Drink Water

Since water has no calories at all which can really helpful to achieve the weight loss after childbirth. Not only that water can neutralize the PH levels in your body by mixing with acid substance (a process called alkalinity) thus resulting a more enhanced immune system which is then followed with increased in oxidation (another process that helps to break down or burn fat and calories for energies, etc) and also has the ability to increase the Vitamins and other mineral consuming functions are some of the other few added advantage.

*. Breastfeed

Yes, giving away milk to your child means giving away calories and proteins. Or in another words you're giving away energy. So loosing energy means loosing fat and weight as simple as that.

How to Lose Belly Fat After Pregnancy

This is another area which contains a lot of fat and calories (in layers) of your body and usually it's important is such that by loosing your belly fat after pregnancy can have a significant effect on your overall body shape. So here are few things that you can try for that.

1. The best methods are to do some physical workouts. But before doing these exercises make sure to drink a little water and some more after the workout also and don't over do these exercises and do them gently. And for any reason if you feel heavy pains on your belly, etc please stop doing and take proper medical advices. Now below is a video that I found and since exercises (especially the ab workouts) are really harder to explain on written materials I though this would come handy.




2. According to some of the researches done in middle of 2009 by stimulating Pro-biotic organisms (a type of bacteria that helps to keep a proper bacteria balance in or around gut) in the gut by giving a group of woman who are in their post pregnancy period through pills such as bifidobacterium the researchers confirmed that the results by using these bacterial simulations did out perform other methods. But before using these pills you must see your doctor first.

3. Walking is an another way to reduce your belly muscles. You don't have to do this alone and can even use those walks with your baby for this purpose, just make sure you do it in a bit speedy manner.

* Get the proper amounts of sleep

This is another very crusual factor and even though it is not that easy to achieve with the "little one" but you have to. Because when you're tired the body releases more cortisol (for stimulating muscles and cells, etc - more energy is needed to keep them "awake" to put it into simple terms) and other chemicals that can have a negative effect on your weight loss goal because they will put some more. And the amount can be different from one person to the other but usually 6-8 hours of sleep will be just perfect more most of us.

So as a a conclusion these are not the only methods that you can try but I tried my best to put something valuable for my readers. Anyway please remember be careful while doing diets (if you do make sure your body receive the proper nutriments it needs) and stay away from diet soda products if you're using liquid diets.

So as a final note - don't try to do it fast and be patient with your goal of weight loss after childbirth! (pregnancy) as this is known to take some time but hey... nothing is impossible you can do it!

Quickest Way to Lose Weight

Quickest way to lose weight is actually (usually with "what is the" words extension) a matter which is not confined to a single way of achieving but rather consists of various ways that anybody can safely follow. And remember even before talking more depths into the matter try to stay away from drinking diet soda for weight loss products. Because of some of the substances that these diet soda products contain (few of them were actually banned by government testing standard organizations) such as CO2 for instance (some of them don't have it) can seriously reduce the nourishment that your body can receive after consuming meals for instance. So stay away from those.

Now I'm pretty sure most of the individuals know these things but before pointing out various methods for loosing some fat (such as food, exercises, etc) please let me give you some of the most basic but things that anyone should know before proceeding to that section. So ...

Important Things to Remember

*. If you lost some reasonable amounts of body weight over a very short period of time (even though it is very appealing but...) then your body will realize or will make the false belief that you're starving and will lower the metabolism rates, etc. What happens next is that, then the brain will shut down "unnecessary" (very relative in this manner or it thinks that they're unnecessary at least) cell functions, etc thus resulting significant amounts of temperature drops. And you'll be very uncomfortable with these drops (no body like to be cold right?).

And this will also reduce sugar amounts in blood which means low "fuel" for the brain to operate and it'll drag you towards lower reaction times, problems with thinking, etc. So remember keep your fat loss to a steady speed!

*. Fat loss or Muscle Loss - To put it into simple terms, if you want to have lean muscles then you'll have to do some weight lifting exercises type activities. On the other hand if you're an overweight person (means more fat than muscles) then you should consider reducing your food input (can get helps from meal replacement shakes, etc) and do some of the exercises such as running, etc.

But remember before doing anything first make sure your weight lever (whether you're under or over the standard weight - use this BMI calculator for that and remember seeing a doctor before doing anything is a MUST. And also get a proper guidance from personal trainers when it comes to exercises and never do them by based upon your judgments. 

And because fat is covered in thicker layers than muscles, even by loosing 9% of that can make a significant amount of body shape shift rather than loosing the same amounts of muscles at the same time.

*. If you already have some sort of kidney related symptoms and take high amounts of protein but won't do the proper amounts of physical exercises to burn that energy, then it can damage your kidney. But for those who have healthy kidneys there are no known dangers but never neglect to some exercises anyway. 

*. And before trying these techniques if you have certain health issues such as diabetes, high blood and low blood pressures and heart problems please see your doctor first.

*. Again seek the proper advices before taking diet pills type products also. 

OK now let's talk about the quickest way to lose weight.

As said before there are few things you can do this in fast manner (still keeping it safe). Below are few tips.

*. Eat natural healthy foods

This is one of the safest methods because these foods do not contains some of the man made artificial chemicals such as flavors, etc.

*. Drink Water

This is one of the best methods not only to burn some fat but also can keep your kidneys healthy too. Make sure to consume at least 7-9 cups daily and depending on your age, weight, height, etc the amount will differ. So in that case use a drinking water calculator such as this for instance.   

*. Drink Green Tea

This is an old Chinese type of tea (with vitamin C and few minerals, etc) which has a long history in relation with our health and it's been using not only as a fat burning stimulator but can also be a for fighting against helper against cancer, arthritis and unnecessary calories burner are just to name a few.  

*. Whey Protein Drinks

Whey protein is considered as the purest among all protein types and contains zero amounts of sugar too. This is one of the most rich ingredients that our bodies need (for repairing and building muscles, energy for moving body parts, etc) and with its zero amounts of sugar but rich enrichment's this can be used as one of the best liquids diets for losing fat.

*. Change the Meal Frequency

For instance usually we eat 3 times per day. But if you can replace it with smaller but somewhat frequent meals (5 short meals per day) daily can also be really helpful.

*. No Alcohol

Yep, alcohol contains higher amounts of calories and the more you take the more fat you add to your body. So stop drinking if you want to loose some body weight. Not only this but actually by not drinking you can also have others healthy benefits such as more healthier brain, blood purification, etc are just to name a few.

*. No Pizza

Yes they are really tasty I know but they also contains high amounts of calories. So try to replace them with something like a sandwich for instance. And let me tell you a little tip I got from a weight lifting trainer. He said than by not having to (well more likely not letting you to) eat all those sweet foods that you love can drive you crazy but if you want to keep a slim body the you have to do it nonetheless. So he has this little trick of preserving a day for about every 15 days in which is usually eat few of his favorite foods which helps to control some of that craving for food.

But remember that if you're really overweight person then until you gain some momentum in your weight loss program then don't use this approach.

*. Do some Exercises

Doing physical exercises is one of the safest methods of staying healthy and getting rid of unnecessary muscles and fat. This is usually the one that I should have written first because this is one of the best tips out there. But since everybody knows it and can be a bit "hard to follow" type ways also but again this is one of the contenders of the game and seems pretty much unbeatable no mater how much pills, drinks and all sorts of other proudts try to challange.

So do your exercises and control your craving for foods (sweets, drinks with higher amounts of sugar, etc) and eat only healthy foods (or shakes) with low calories and fat in them and if you're in for any doubt then ask any expert in the field with, what is the ... (you know the rest) and they'll all approve that this the quickest way to lose weight for anyone! So good luck to everyone and remember be patient.

Protein Shakes for Women

There are mainly two types of protein shakes for women. One is for gaining weight and building muscles and the other is for burning fat and loosing weight. And the difference in these meal shakes (concerning the gender) are usually based upon (not the only fact though) difference in the required daily energy both these parties have to consume.

First I'll give you some basic understanding and then at the middle section you'll find a review of a protein shake also.

For instance women needs (roughly) 1200 calories per day while men needs much more to keep up with their bodies which is set around 1500 calories per day. But remember that these daily energy requirements are only recommended for those who wants to loose weight and not for others. And for others who wants to know how much calories that you need daily can use a calculator (as mentioned in References section at the end of the article) for getting to know the proper amount which is defined or depends on the age, gender, height, etc.

Few things to Remember Before Using These Products

*. Look for Your BMI - Stands for Body Mass Index. Remember even if you like to loose few more pounds but if your BMI is low then you're already underweight. You can use this BMI Calculator (look at the References section) for measuring your body index.

Now if you BMI reading is under 18.5 then it is accepted that you're an underweight individual. So why should you be concerned about this? Well because by being underweight - You'll be more vulnerable to infections, low physical energy and a weaker immune system are just to name a few. And especially for women by being underweight in your pregnancy period can give birth to symptoms such as Amenorrhea (an absence of  menstrual period). So if you're pregnant then pay extra attention before taking protein shakes (for both loosing and gain weight) and seeing a doctor is a must.

*. If You Have Diabetic - For both type 1 and 2 diabetic patients taking protein is not a bad thing but what you should be looking for is for proteins that contains lower amounts of sugar levels. One trick you can use is that while consuming these liquids diets you can mix them with milk or water. Don't use juices since they do contain higher amounts of sugar already. 

*. High Blood Pressure - Recent studies has shown that protein that is being made using plants (vegetables, etc) has the ability to lower the blood pressures and seems to do this job better than their made out of animal-type protein counterparts. But still there are few complications within the medical community as well. But again as a precaution if you have any especial health problems before purchasing and using any of these protein shakes for women you MUST see your doctor first. 

*. Wanna Gain Weight - If your purpose of the intake of protein is to gain weight then make sure to do your physical exercises as well since after consuming them if you "forgot" to do your exercises, and especially if you take higher amounts of protein then it can damage your kidneys as well. So make sure to do your exercises if you want to gain some muscles. 

So let's come back to a product review and remember this is not a weight loss or gain product but only a food supplement for women. 

 

Designer Whey Aria Women's Protein - by Next Nutrition, Review

Below are some of the specifications of this product (included ingredients, prices, how to buy, etc)

*. No artificial flavors, colors or other substances such as L-tryptophan (a type of amino acid) and sucrose (another flavor supplement - table sugar) are not included. 

*. Calories amount is 80, 1gram of fat, 3grams of Carbohydrate (more about low carb shakes), 1gram of Sugar, Vitamin B2 (helps to break down fat, carbohydrate, etc type things to produce energy much faster), Vitamin B12, 280grams of Calcium (very important substance for all living things which helps to grow and recover bones, etc) and 100 mg of Sodium are just to name a few. 

*.  How to Use it - Use two scoops of protein powder and mix it with 1/4 or 1/3 cup of water and mix well and then consume immediately. And you can also try it with others things such as yogurt, milk, etc and they'll add more calories as well.

And if you didn't drink it immediately after shaking then after few minutes you'll have to re shake it again because it tends to settle down. Two flavors are available (both vanilla and chocolate). And the prices will be around $10-15 and seems pretty decent as well. So as a final note remember that this product is not a liquid diet for weight loss type product but one of the usual protein shakes for women.
