Eating the whole fruit will 'force' your digestion system to work harder, thus increase your metabolism. <br /><br />2. Eating the whole fruit will also make you feel fuller than drinking the juice, thus it will help you control your appetite. <br /><br />3. If you like to drink juice, yes, save the pulp and blend it together so you won't lose the fiber. Soluble fiber in vegetable & fruit lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. There is also another type of fiber that is called resistant starch which is beginning to gain popularity in England & Australia because it produces more satiety, associated with lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. <br /><br />4.

I thought some readers might have the same question. <br /><br />Question: Can we do anything to increase the metabolic rate ?<br /> <br />Answer: Hi Diane, <br /><br />If you do strength training exercise, you will strengthen & build your muscles. Those muscles will increase your metabolic rate, even when you stop exercising. That's why in my book, I recommend simple strength training exercises. These exercises will strengthen your muscles but will not make you look bulky. <br /><br />Stay healthy!Linda Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06243438025277522655noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226294812702199995.post-67860348807405858852009-07-17T01:20:00.000-07:002009-07-17T01:30:23.379-07:00My Favorite GuruMy 2 favorite gurus are Tony Robbins and Mark Joyner.

When we fast, our bodies think we are starving. The body then tries to conserve energy by slowing down its metabolism. Slower metabolism means the body burns less energy during daily activities. This is why people on prolonged fasting will hit a plateau in their weight loss.<br /><br />When we return to our normal eating patterns, it takes a while for our bodies to adjust from the slower metabolism to our regular metabolism. During the adjustment period, we will have surplus calories which our bodies store as fat.<br /><br />What Works?<br /><br />Experts agree that the best diet plan is to reduce calorie intake by a small amount, about 500–1000 calories, every day. Since one pound is equal to 3500 calories, you will lose 1–2 pounds a week or 4–8 pounds a month<br /><br />Studies show that the people who lose weight slowly with a healthy diet are more likely to maintain their healthy weight for a long term.<br /><br />What you can do to reduce your calorie intake:<br /><br />• Start your meal with a clear vegetable soup as your appetizer. Add plenty of vegetables to your soup. Cabbage, carrot, celery, cauliflower and mushroom are high in fiber content and very low in calories. <br /><br />• Combine your meal with brown basmati rice. Brown basmati rice is filing and it's high in fiber and resistant starch content, thus, it will keep you full for a long time. <br /><br />• When making omelettes or other recipes that require eggs, replace an an egg yolk with two egg whites. An egg yolk contains more calories and high in cholesterol content while an egg white is very low in calories content, only 16 calories and no cholesterol. <br /><br /><br /><br />About the author: Linda Yo is a certified weight consultant and the author of Asian Slim Secrets: Enjoy Food, Stay Slim Naturally!

The people there eat noodles as one of their staple foods. Noodle soup is a common breakfast and snack in Asian countries. <br /><br />Why eating noodles can help you slim down?<br /><br />• They are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates (good carbs). Like rice, they provide a crucial energy source for our brain and body cells. Eating noodles may alleviate our body cravings for high-calorie sweets.<br /><br />• When cooked, they absorb a lot of water. The water content of noodles or pasta is 70%, about the same as steamed rice. Noodles and pasta are bulky so they fill us up.<br /><br />• They are rich in B vitamins, niacin and iron.<br /><br />• They contain resistant starch which increases fat metabolism in our bodies.<br /><br />In Asia, noodles are comfort foods, usually eaten with soup. Another alternative is to stir-fry them with 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil, which does increase the calorie content. However, fried noodles are usually eaten with thinly sliced meats and lots of vegetables, making it overall a healthy low-calorie meal.<br /><br />Noodles and pasta are good for you as long as you prepare them as the Asians do. Avoid or reduce oily and creamy sauces. <br /><br />Quick & Delicious Noodle Soup<br /><br />Servings: 4 <br />Noodles and vegetables in clear chicken broth.<br /><br />12 ounces Japanese udon noodles or pasta of your <br /> choice<br />6 ounces skinless boneless chicken breast or imitation<br /> crabmeat, sliced thin<br />1 teaspoon vegetable oil<br />1 tablespoon minced ginger<br />1 tablespoon minced garlic<br />2 tablespoons soy sauce<br />4 cups water<br />2 tablespoons chicken broth powder<br />4 ounces mushrooms or shitake mushrooms, sliced <br /> thin<br />1 cup bok choy or green leafy vegetable of your choice,<br /> chopped<br />2 stalks green onions, chopped<br />2 tablespoon sake or white wine<br /><br />Prepare noodles as directed by the package. Drain and set aside.<br /><br />Heat oil in the pan, stir-fry ginger and garlic for 30 <br />seconds. Add chicken and soy sauce, and stir-fry for 2 minutes.<br /><br />Add water, chicken broth, mushrooms, bok choy, and green onions; simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the noodles and sake. Serve. <br /> <br /><br />Linda Yo is a certified weight consultant and the author of Asian Slim Secrets. Linda gained 25 lbs in 3 months upon her arrival in the US.

However starchy grains and vegetables are not fattening, especially those that are rich in resistant starches. <br /><br />Not many people, even doctors in the US know about resistant starch yet but it is beginning to gain popularity in England and Australia. According to experts from Oxford University, in the past it was thought that all starch in food is digested and absorbed by the human body. However current research has discovered that a significant portion of starch cannot be digested by our stomach and it will be expelled from our body. That portion of starch is called resistant starch. So when we eat foods that are rich in resistant starch, we actually get a discount in calories!Linda Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06243438025277522655noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226294812702199995.post-68832964300395143922009-02-03T20:38:00.000-08:002009-02-03T20:41:36.338-08:00How Asians Avoid Salmonella PoisoningI grew up in South East Asia where the risk of getting Salmonella infection is very high. In some Asian countries, there is no regulation for off-the-street food vendors and small scale food processing facilities. <br /><br />However the Asian cooking technique helps prevent salmonella infection. These are a few tips that can help you avoid Salmonella poisoning and also lose weight at the same time: <br /><br />• Heat it up<br />When Asians make peanut sauce, they add some water to ground peanuts or peanut butter and cook until it is boiling. According to the USDA, you destroy the Salmonella bacteria when you heat up your food to at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit. So you can add a small amount of water to peanut butter, mix it and heat it up in the microwave until it is boiling. <br />The boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit; so you can enjoy peanut butter without the fear of getting a Salmonella infection. <br /><br />• Slice it<br />When cooking meat, slice it into thin pieces. Cut 1/8 inch thin across the grain. The thinly sliced meat will cook quickly and evenly, thus reducing the risk of getting Salmonella infection. By slicing meat into thin pieces, you can also get rid of the fat marble that is in the middle of the meat easily, thus reducing your intake of saturated fat. <br /><br />• Steam or stir fry it<br />Asians steam or stir fry their vegetable dishes in high heat, about 200 degrees for two to five minutes. If you do this you will destroy the Salmonella bacteria and at the same time still preserve most of the vitamins because of the short cooking time. Steaming and stir frying vegetables is also healthy because you only use water or a little vegetable oil compared to high fat salad dressing.Linda Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06243438025277522655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226294812702199995.post-17540324596608853892009-01-20T00:41:00.000-08:002009-01-20T00:44:25.512-08:00How to Lose Weight without Starving – part 1: The MindsetTwenty two years ago, I was overweight. Growing up, I was a skinny girl. However when I moved from Asia to the US, I gained twenty five pounds in three months! I came in the fall, by Christmas, I was already chubby. At the time, I lived with my older brother and he made fun of my weight every single day. <br /><br />For 2 years, I struggled with my weight, I tried diet tea, fat reducing crème, slim fast, diet patch and I read over a dozen diet books and nothing worked!<br /><br />If you are overweight, I know how you feel. It can be frustrating. However, please understand that just because you have excess weight right now, it doesn’t mean that you are going to be fat forever. Don’t put a label on yourself. Many people are nice to other people but they are mean to themselves. <br /><br />We talk to ourselves all the time and sometimes we say bad things to ourselves. When I say or do something wrong, I’d call myself “Stupid” and I will proceed to remember all the stupid things that I have done in the past 20 years!<br /> <br />Usually, when we fail from our expectation, we say bad things to ourselves. We even label ourselves: stupid, loser, procrastinator and that will not help us to solve our problem because we will feel more depressed and helpless. And when we are depressed we eat more because our bodies feel the need to increase the “happy hormone” in our brain which is called serotonin. Sweets increase our serotonin level so blaming ourselves rarely work when it comes to permanent weight loss. <br /><br />We have to realize that nobody is perfect; everybody failed at certain things in their life. Even the people that we admired the most have to constantly work to improve themselves. Every single day is a new day and all we can do is to take a single step toward our goal. <br /><br />If losing weight is part of your New Year’s resolutions, understand that the most important step toward a permanent weight loss is the right mental attitude. As a weight consultant, I found it fascinating that I can give the same directions to several people and those who have positive self images; lost weight in a short period of time while those who labeled themselves fat have a hard time losing weight. <br /><br />You see people act consistent with the label that we gave to ourselves. So if you or the people around you called you fatty, this year, get a new empowering label! Label yourself beauty, healthy or sexy! Whenever you see yourself in the mirror, be nice and gentle to yourself; look for your wonderful qualities, maybe you have a wonderful set of eyes or a nice smile. You are a beauty in the making, a diamond in the rough and in 2009, you will continue to polish that diamond so the sparkle will shine thru, brighter and brighter. <br /><br />Happy New Year!Linda Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06243438025277522655noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226294812702199995.post-17541590958348497982008-11-23T04:20:00.000-08:002008-11-23T04:23:01.292-08:00Tips for Eating Healthy during the HolidaysThese are a few tips that will help you enjoy a healthy holidays: <br /><br />1. Start your meal with soup as your appetizer. Research shows that people who eat soup regularly lose more weight than people who don’t. <br /><br />2. Thicken your soup and sauces with cornstarch instead of cream. Cornstarch is very low in calories. One tablespoon of cornstarch contains 30 calories and 0 gram fat. In many occasions, you will only need two tablespoons of cornstarch to replace one cup of cream. One cup of cream contains 580 calories and 60 grams of fat so if you use cornstarch instead of cream, you will reduce 520 calories and 60 grams of fat from your soup. <br /><br />3. Eat a healthy staple food. After the low-carb diet craze, it seems like Americans don’t know what a staple food is, let alone a healthy staple food. In Asia, people always eat their dishes with a healthy staple food which is big in volume but low in calorie content. This kind of food makes us full while contributing a small amount of calories. Rice is a healthy staple food because it is rich in water content. Seventy percent of the volume of steamed rice is just water. So when you eat rice with your dishes, you will feel full quicker, thus prevent you from overeating. The healthiest type of rice is brown basmati rice. Brown basmati is rich in fiber and resistant starch. According to experts while 1 gram of carbohydrate gives us 4 calories, 1 gram of fiber and resistant starch give us anywhere between 0-3 calories. In addition to that, fiber and resistant starch help control our blood sugar level and satiety. <br /><br />4. Drink plain tea, water or diet drinks. Many people watch what they eat but they don’t realize that they consume a lot of calories from their drinks. A 12 fluid ounces of soda or juice contains about 150 calories which is equal to 6 Hershey kisses. <br /><br />5. If you serve salad, make sure that you use low calorie dressings. Many people who go on a “salad diet” become frustrated because even though they eat healthy all the time, they still don’t lose weight. A small 2 oz package of ranch dressings contains 170 calories and 15 grams of fat which has almost as many calories as 7 Hersey kisses.Linda Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06243438025277522655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226294812702199995.post-90110260102802527092008-07-24T16:33:00.000-07:002008-07-24T16:38:50.453-07:00Fun Exercise<br /><br />When I turned 40 a few days ago, I made my husband take me dancing, because we haven’t danced in years!I had a lot of fun dancing that night and I think I burned at least 600 calories! <br /><br />If you live in San Diego & you like dancing or you want to learn how to dance, check out this place, www.dancetime.com . You don’t need a partner to join. If you are not in San Diego, simply Google the word dance and the city you live in; that’s how I found dancetime. My husband & I love the place, it’s a clean & safe place to learn & explore dancing.<br /><br />Do you have an activity that you love to do? It’s easier to exercise when it’s fun. This is a list of fun exercises and the average calories burned per hour for someone who is about 200 lbs. <br /><br />Basketball, 728<br />Bicycling (leisure), 364<br />Dancing, 409<br />Bowling, 273<br />Canoeing, 319<br />Fishing, 350<br />Football, 728<br />Gardening, 380<br />Golf, 410<br />Tennis, 728<br />Volleyball, 364<br /><br />Activity for children. <br /><br />A study from a professor at Liverpool John Moores University in Britain found that participants burn about 150 calories per hour playing Nintendo Wii so an average of 12.2 playing time/week burned 1830 extra calories per week. <br />Have you ever play tennis in Wii? It’s a lot of fun. When my family get together with some friends, the adults and the kids spend hours playing tennis or bowling. It’s a great party activity. <br /><br />Have fun & stay healthy!<br />Linda Yo<br />Author of Asian Slim Secrets<br />The "Asian Slim Lady" can show you how to lose weight without starving yourself!<br />www.asianslimsecrets.comLinda Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06243438025277522655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226294812702199995.post-34949651477485967892008-05-26T05:18:00.000-07:002008-05-29T02:36:34.915-07:00Why Do I Crave for Sweets After Mealtime?There are several reasons why we have cravings for sweets after meals:<br /><br />1. Habit<br />Habits are develop over time and are hard to break. The best way to break a habit is to make small modifications. If you are used to 1 full cup of ice cream, the next time you grab the ice cream container, reach for 3/4 cup instead and gradually reduce it to 1/2 cup. If you are used to rich, full cream ice cream, try to get a healthier option such as low fat or frozen yogurt. <br /><br />2. We are still hungry<br />The size of our stomach is about 4-6 cups. If we eat foods that are big in volume (water rich food such as rice & noodles), soups, vegetables and fruits, we will be stuffed and have less cravings for dessert. When the stomach is full, the small intestine will shut off and produce a hormone called cholecystokinin (CCK) that sends a message to the brain to stop eating. This is the reason why buffet restaurants still make money :-). No matter how large is our appetite; our stomach has a limited capacity. <br /><br />3. Our meals are boring. <br />One of the reason why people love to go to buffets (other than to get value for their dollars) is because the variety of the foods served. Our palates love variety. When we are bored with our meals, we tend to look for "variety" in desserts. This is the reason why a strict diet usually doesn't work in the long run. <br /><br />In Asian Slim Secrets, I discuss about the foods that made you full (even stuffed) with low calories; thus you will have less temptation for sweets. <br /><br />Asian foods are rich in water, fiber & resistant starches. They make you stuffed and prevent you from overeating. That's why most Asian restaurants don't sell dessert. Okay...in the US, they give you fortune cookies...:-)Linda Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06243438025277522655noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226294812702199995.post-59642754250568197302008-04-25T18:08:00.000-07:002008-04-25T18:09:49.771-07:00Calorie Density: Key to Permanent Weight LossIf you want to stay full and stay slim for life, it is important to understand about the concept of calorie density. Calorie density measures and compares the amount of calories in a certain amount of food. <br /><br />You can use calorie density to compare foods and make better choices. <br /><br />• 1 cup chicken noodle soup: <br /> 100 calories, 2 g fat <br /> Not dense in calories<br /><br />• 1 cup peanuts: <br /> 840 calories, 71 g fat<br /> Very dense in calories<br /><br />Our stomach has a finite size, about 4 to 6 cups. Suppose you really like peanuts and you eat 4 cups. That totals to 3360 calories. A healthier option is to eat 3 cups of chicken noodle soup first and then enjoy 1 cup of peanuts. This way you can still enjoy your favorite snack, stay full and reduce your intake by 2220 calories.<br /><br />By combining high- and low-calorie foods, you significantly reduce your calorie intake. If you use this principle, you will be able to enjoy fatty foods and stay slim.Linda Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06243438025277522655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226294812702199995.post-56931693236787904332008-04-12T14:20:00.000-07:002008-04-13T02:16:15.678-07:00Crabmeat, Corn and Asparagus Soup - A Yummy Combination!Servings: 4<br />Crabmeat, corn and soft asparagus spears in a creamy egg flower soup<br /><br />4 cups water<br />4 ounces crabmeat<br />12 ounces canned asparagus, cut in 2-inch slices<br />12 ounces corn<br />2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolve in ½ cup water<br />1 egg, beaten<br />2 tablespoons oyster sauce or soy sauce<br />salt & pepper to taste<br /><br />Boil water and crabmeat in a pot.<br /><br />Add asparagus, corn and cornstarch solution.

One easy method is to eat soup as your appetizer. One of the secrets why Asian people stay slim is they eat soup before eating the main course. <br /><br />When we eat soup, our stomachs quickly recognize the soup as a warm meal. As we empty our bowls, our stomachs are about ¼ full. <br /><br />Asian-style soup is very light in calories. Asian people enjoy clear soups as well as thick ones. The clear soup is similar to American chicken noodle soup; Asians are just more creative with the ingredients. Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms, squash, beans, shrimp or tofu can be added. This kind of soup is healthy and satisfying but low in calories and fat. <br /><br />For creamy soup, Asians use cornstarch instead of cream or milk to thicken the soup. Cornstarch is a complex carbohydrate (good carb) that has zero fat. <br /><br /><br>Compare the Soups<br><br />Asian Style Soup (thickened with cornstarch)<br />Asian-Style Corn & Egg Flower Soup (1 cup)<br />93 calories<br />1 gram fat<br /><br />Western Style Soup (thickened with cream)<br />Cream of Broccoli Soup (1 cup)<br />200 calories<br />12 grams fat<br /><br />You can eliminate 520 calories, 60 grams of fat and 200 milligrams of cholesterol in your favorite soup and still achieve the same thickness just by replacing a cup of cream with two tablespoons of cornstarch. Or, if you like the taste of cream, you can use ¼ or ½ cup of cream instead of a whole cup and still eliminate a lot of calories and fat.<br /><br />If you use evaporated fat free milk instead of cream, you will eliminate 380 calories and all the fat and cholesterol per cup.<br /><br />Directions: When using cornstarch, always mix it well with a few tablespoons of cold water before use to prevent lumps in your soup.Linda Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06243438025277522655noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226294812702199995.post-91911412622848144142008-02-29T18:31:00.000-08:002008-02-29T18:36:00.471-08:00The Most Popular Diets are Fat Diets?Many people, even doctors have been brainwashed by popular fad diets. No wonder the obesity problem in the US getting worse. I found it disturbing when I spoke to doctors that don’t know if rice is a good carb or complex carbohydrate. <br /><br />However, I can’t really blame them. Doctors are trained to detect sickness and give prescriptions. With the complexity of today’s medical procedures and growing numbers of new drugs each year, it’s hard for them to keep up with all the information. <br /><br />So what do you do if you would like to educate yourself about good nutrition? Go to the American Dietetic Association website and educate yourself, <br /><a href="http://www.eatright.org">www.eatright.org</a><br /><br />Now about fad diets, I found this article to be very interesting. Some of the most popular diets are listed there, <br /><a href="http://eatright.org/cps/rde/xchg/ada/hs.xsl/media_11092_ENU_HTML.htm">http://eatright.org/cps/rde/xchg/ada/hs.xsl/media_11092_ENU_HTML.htm</a><br /><br />Please share this knowledge to your family and friends. <br /><br />Stay healthy, <br />Linda YoLinda Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06243438025277522655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226294812702199995.post-5135823377296219152008-02-20T03:16:00.000-08:002008-02-20T03:46:06.785-08:00Many people told me that they want to lose weight. Yet, when I shared to them the easy method to lose weight, they didn’t believe me. You see, they were used to the more difficult methods, starving, walking or jogging and hour every day, eat only cabbage soup and so on. When I presented to them an easy method, they thought it’s too good to be true. <br /><br />There is a story in the Bible where an officer had a skin disease and he traveled a great distance to find a prophet to heal him. When the prophet told him to go take a bath in a river, he was furious because he didn’t believe that such simple thing can cure him. <br /><br />Sometimes when we are presented with a simple solution, we reject the solution just because we have expected a difficult solution. With Asian Slim Secrets, easy does it. However, even an easy method needs to be implemented. So start taking action today. Pull my book, Asian Slim Secrets, out of the bookself and try the recipes in the kitchen.Linda Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06243438025277522655noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226294812702199995.post-61881066554930597362007-12-20T23:42:00.000-08:002007-12-20T23:49:34.348-08:00Check this out!<div id="simpleology_blog_b26d9dc2558848fec3f55371760fcbb7"><p>I'm evaluating a <a href="http://www.simpleology.com/training/blogging#b26d9dc2558848fec3f55371760fcbb7">multi-media course on blogging</a> from the folks at Simpleology.

Rice is ok, especially basmati rice (available at Costco).<br /><br />Weight control is easy and tricky at the same time. I spent 20 years learning about it<br />and observing more than one thousand people’s diet habits before I condensed my knowledge in my book and class.<br />However, if you understand a few simple rules, you can easily control your weight for life!<br /><br />I hope my class on the web explain this rules but if you have question, always feel free to ask<br />at my blog, and I will answer it. Why write at the blog, so others can benefit if they have the same question.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Linda Yo<br />Certified weight consultant & the author of Asian Slim SecretsLinda Yohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06243438025277522655noreply@blogger.com2
