How to Help Your Dachshund Lose Weight
Recommended Answer:
Switch to brown rice or quinoa at least until you reach your goal...then occasionally having white rice is fine...Potatoes are okay as long as you don't load them with fatty, high calorie stuff (butter, sour cream, bacon, cheese, etc)...and have them occasionally...go for sweet potatos as a better source of fiber and nutrition and save the white potatoes for a once a week or less treat...If you want to "lose" (loose means not tight) fat, you need to eat clean and exercise...lots of people love carbs, and our bodies NEED carbs to work properly...you just need complex carbs (look them up if you need to) instead of simple carbs...in other words, avoid white foods or keep them to a minimum...that includes foods made with white flour and white sugar...Other Answers:
- Start eating multigrain or whole meal foods (bread, pasta). Eat brown rice. You get used to it and it has a lovely Cheney, nutty flavour. Eat jacket potatoes with lots of salad or vegetables.
- Although it's true that carbs contribute a lot to people's fat intake, you could try serving them on a smaller plate so your mind thinks your full and you won't be taking in as much. Also, try avoid having the potatoes fried and have them boiled instead to reduce the amount of oil it mixes with, reducing the fat content. Furthermore, when you have white rice, try to look for long grain white rice or brown rice if you can cause they have lesser carbs and sugar quantity allowing yourself to go on a diet easier without missing out on your fav carbs. Most importantly, try to balance your food with your exercise too, because your metabolism might slow down if your ate less so have the exercise there to boost your metabolism allowing you to lose weight faster.
- you don't have to stop eating your favorite foods. being an asian, i was born and raised in a country with people eating rice and other carbs everyday.there are good and bad carbs. keep the good ones and let go of the bad carbs, completely.for example, white rice, it is not really considered as bad carbs but it makes you have a flabby belly. so instead of white rice, switch to brown rice.for white bread, switch to whole grain wheat bread.you dont have to let go of the carbs. just choose the right ones and dont over do it. eat in small portions and dont forget to exercise. goodluck!
- practice sit-up and drink enough water will help to overcome belly
- Studies have shown that people can gain fat stores on a semi starvation diet of 1000 calories a day, if it's high carb, low fat.Simple carbs are addictive & can be disastrous to health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a batch of deviled eggs, eat one every time you want "something" - have huge omelets with meats, peppers, mushrooms & cheese - pork rinds & avocado dip or tuna/chicken/egg salad - sugar free cheese cake. Eat so much you won't feel deprived of anything. By the 4th day, the addiction will be gone & you can start making healthy choices.The whole purpose of carbohydrates is to put the body in fat storage mode so we can gain as much fat as possible to survive winter & famine. Carbs trigger an insatiable appetite so you can eat as much as is available. Carbs were only suppose to be available during harvest season, not year around.So if you've been on a low carb diet & return to eating carbs - you refill the empty glycogen stores. The body can hold up to 2000 calories in glycogen stores. Carbs convert to glucose - excess glucose is converted to glycogen - you don't even store fat until *AFTER* glycogen stores are overflowing (unless you are already insulin resistant).The body for a fully grown female needs about 2000 calories a day to maintain weight. If you've been doing a low carb way of eating, you need to eat nearly 4000 calories before you ever access fat stores. UNLESS you are eating a HIGH carb diet.There is NO evidence to substantiate the calorie theory. It may sound logical, but the body is built for survival & does not follow logical mathematical equations. *If* you research how they determine what a calorie is you may wonder, like I do, what that has to do with the human body - using foods as fuel to heat water has no correlation to the human body. As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn't gain weight, no matter the calories because insulin, the fat storage hormone is not activated. Refined carbs are NOT healthy. They have to fortify bread & flour products with synthetic vitamins & minerals because it has almost no nutritional value. All carbs even vegetables convert to sugar (glucose) in the mouth.Carbs may provide quick energy but fats provide sustained energy. Coconut oil is the only fat to provide quick energy like a carb (but without the rise in blood sugar or insulin). Long term ingestion of refined carbs does much damage to the body. One of the first symptoms of damage is that the body becomes insulin resistant & starts storing fat. The liver first becomes insulin resistant & then the muscles & occasionally even the fat cells (this is when diabetes is officially diagnosed but the pre diabetic condition is doing much damage to the organs)Type 2 diabetes used to be called adult onset diabetes because it was rare that people had it til they were in their 50s. They had to change the name because now it's common in children. Now they add high fructose corn syrup to infant formula & we have an epidemic of obese 6mo old infants who become diabetic as children.People don't care about their health til it's gone but fat storage is a symptom of the disease state & people care about how they look. When your muscles become insulin resistant, then calories go directly to fat cells instead of to glycogen stores & you become obese fast. It's nearly impossible to lose weight at this point without minimizing carbs because the body no longer is able to process carbs. The first week weight loss (on any diet) is just water weight. It's more with low carb because you empty glycogen stores. Glycogen holds 3x it's weight in water, deplete the stores & it's like wringing out a sponge. You lose "weight" but it's only water.If you return to eating carbs, you refill the glycogen stores AND the water they hold - so you regain ALL the water weight you lost the first week of a low carb diet - but it's JUST water.It's almost impossible to gain fat stores while even doing a semi low carb diet. Especially if you deplete glycogen stores regularly. There never was one iota of scientific proof to condemn saturated fats as a cause of heart disease. Dietary fat, whether saturated or not, is not a cause of obesity, heart disease, or any other chronic disease of civilization. Through their direct effects on insulin & blood sugar, refined carbohydrates, starches and sugars are the dietary cause of coronary heart disease & diabetes.
