How to Diet with Brown Rice to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

It is one thing to enjoy a milk shake now and then but quite another to make a "smoothie" a part of your diet. Smoothies are a bad idea for everyone and especially people trying to lose fat.When you drink a smoothie, you may be getting some nutrition. However, you're missing out on an important part of eating. Smoothies do not invoke mastication, salivation, digestion including peristaltic activity, bile and enzyme production, and, as a result, they go down quickly and leave you with minimal digestive satisfaction and appetite suppression. You will not be burning a significant number of calories which are burned during digestion as well as the exercise your colon gets during peristalsis which can lead to longer GI transit times and poorer internal GI health.Your body needs to be fed as it evolved to be fed for optimal health and that means chewing your food and allowing the 15 feet of smooth muscle that comprises your GI tract to work on extracting the nutrition, processing the bulk (fiber), and forming your stools. Long GI transit times are a risk factor for colon cancer.Add to that the fact that drinking your nutrition makes it much easier to gulp down too many calories in a short period of time when compared with eating the ingredients and you have some very good reasons to give smoothies a pass. Smoothies are really just a milk shake in disguise. It's like eating candy bars with some oat or soy protein in them and calling it a healthy snack. If you really want optimal health, eat your food, don't drink it.Also --> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120814134026AABaBWc Get your protein from food, not supplements.All US federal health agencies warn against using supplements without the recommendation of a health care professional because supplements are not approved by the FDA, are virtually unregulated, do not have the protections afforded foods and drugs, are not recommended by the US National Institute of Health, do not require any testing, are often contaminated, may not even be what the label says, usually contain cheap ingredients, are often over priced scams, have been known to be dangerous, and can have numerous adverse or unwanted side effects.
