Top 4 Reasons Diets Fail


Something's Missing

Diets eliminating an entire food group (such as carbohydrates) and not using the full spectrum of food choices are difficult to follow, and will likely lead to a slip. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself, "Can I eat like this forever?" A successful diet should allow choices from all food groups in moderation, and be something that you can follow for the long term.


Going Low
If you eat too few calories and are constantly hungry, you risk an eventual willpower blowout, leading to a major diet setback, causes a weekness. Successful diets are adequate enough in calories so you don't experience prolonged deep hunger, but low enough to allow for a moderate weight loss of 0.5-1 lb per week. Looking beyond weight loss, it's also important to understand that consuming less than 1,200 calories per day for an extended period of time is never a good idea because it isn't enough to give your body the nutrients it needs to function best.

Diet. Period.
If you've embarked on a weight loss regime, but have no plans to incorporate exercise, your weight loss will most likely hit a frustrating plateau. Adding exercise can keep you motivated to stick to your diet, even on the weeks when the scale won't budge, since exercise can help you whittle off the inches. Regular exercise also increases the rate at which your body burns calories, helping you to see results faster than diet alone. Multiple research studies have concluded that the most successful diets include a combination of diet and exercise.


Friend or Foe?
A 2007 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that those who surround themselves with overweight or obese family and friends are more likely to be overweight or obese themselves. The study found that a possible explanation for the conclusions may be that your sense of "normal" weight and eating behavior can be influenced by those around you. For example, if everyone close to you is overweight or obese, your opinion may be that being overweight or obese is normal, thus you may not be motivated to lose weight. For the best success, surround yourself with family and friends sensitive to your goal, and make a personal commitment to follow through on your plans. If you have overweight family or friends, why not make a group resolution to work together for better health?

The Bottom Line
Dieters with long term successes are proof that the best plans include adequate choices from a wide variety of foods, are flexible and reasonable, and partner with exercise and support from peers. A diet that encourages weight loss slowly over time will help you form better habits to make your diet the beginning of a lifetime of healthy eating!

Way U See Your Food

The best way to change how you eat is to view, how you view the stimulus. Look at 30-40 years and look at how we used to view tobacco. We used to think it was glamorous, sexy and cool. Now we view it as something that is deadly and addictive. If you look at the huge plate of French fries and say
that's my friend, that's going to make me feel better
, there is very little I can do to help you to stand between you and those fries. You have to change how you look at food.
If you think it's going to make you feel better, if you think it's your friend, then you are going to only want it more and it's going to be harder to stop. So put in place certain boundaries and plan your eating. Know what you are going to eat and when you are going to eat. Then really change your relationship with food.
Food needs to be enjoyable. We have to make food pleasurable.
But certainly big portions, processed foods, we need to change how we view that.
Thank you.

Low Fat Foods are not necessarily
Low Calorie

If you think that low fat means low calories, read on. Often, reduced fat items have more sugar added to enhance the flavor, which contributes calories to the final product. Also, many of us think that by eating the low fat version of a food, we can eat more of it. If you are watching your weight, this will only sabotage your efforts.

Check out the list of foods below to see the difference in calories (if there is any) between common low fat and regular fat foods.




Low-fat or Fat-free Regular


Reduced Fat Peanut Butter Regular Peanut Butter


2 Tbsp: 190 calories, 12g fat 2 Tbsp: 190 calories, 16g fat



Low Fat Wheat Thins Regular Wheat Thins

16 crackers: 130 calories, 4g fat 16 crackers: 150 calories, 6g fat



Low Fat Oreos Original Oreos

3 cookies: 150 calories, 4.5g fat 3 cookies: 160 calories, 7g fat



Fat Free Fig Newtons Regular Fig Newtons

2 cookies: 100 calories, 0g fat 2 cookies: 110 calories, 2g fat



Low fat Fruit-flavored Yogurt Regular Fruit-flavored Yogurt

6 oz: 173 calories, 1.8 g fat 6 oz: 170 calories, 6 g fat




Low fat Granola Cereal Regular Granola Cereal


½ cup:160 calories, 2.2g fat ½ cup: 210 calories, 6g fat



Light Tortilla Chips Regular Tortilla Chips

1 oz: 132 calories, 4.3g fat 1 oz: 141 calories, 7.3g fat




Fat Free Apple Cinnamon Muffin Regular Apple Cinnamon Muffin

Small: 130 calories, 0g fat Small: 147 calories, 6.9g fat



The Bottom Line:

Although it is a good idea to limit your fat intake, you can see that sometimes there is not much of a calorie difference between the low fat (or fat free) version of a food compared to its regular version. So, what are you to do? If you like the taste of a particular higher fat food, limit your calories by controlling your portion. If you think that eating low fat or fat free foods permits you to eat more of a specific food, think again!

Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss

With the alarming and ever-increasing rate of obesity , a common thought that floods many people's minds is; "I need to lose weight." What most of these people don't realize is that they should be saying; "I need to lose fat."
These are not interchangeable comments and there are major differences between simple weight loss and specific fat loss.
The Body has compartments:
Lean Body Mass{Muscles, Skeletal, Organs}
Fat Mass
Water
When losing body weight, the body always tends to lose both muscle and adipose tissue. Muscle, being a denser tissue weighs more and occupies less space than body fat. In a state of carbohydrate deprivation, the body will tend to use muscle protein more readily for energy than body fat. Muscle energy is always the first to be used in a state of starvation. Hence muscle can be easily lost.
Muscle contains 75% water. Hence muscle loss is accompanied with heavy water loss. The loss of glycogen from the liver and muscle also leads to the loss of water. Therefore your bathroom weigh scale shows a drop in the weight, but this is weight loss and not fat loss which is needed.
Muscle loss will slower down your body metabolism {the rate at which the body functions} A slow metabolism body is a lazy body and easily stores fat, doing the exact opposite of what is required.
Crash Diets, Starvation or skipping meals, Excessive cardiovascular exercises while ignoring weight training exercises, and a poor protein intake leads to muscle loss.
So now lets change the term to FAT LOSS
5 Simple Ways to Lose Weight,
without feeling deprived


Is losing weight one of your new year's resolutions? Following a fad diet, or being overly restrictive, will not help your achieve your long-term weight goals. Instead, taking simple yet sensible steps may help you lose weight without feeling deprived.


5 Simple Ways to lose weight
Don't drink Calories
Sweetened beverages such as pop, juice drinks, coffee drinks and tea may satisfy your thirst, but give you lots of empty calories. What's worse is that, unlike eating solid food, drinking liquid calories doesn't make you feel full so you won't eat less food afterwards. Simply cutting a can of pop a day can help you lose 15 pounds in a year! Diet or zero-calorie pop offers no nutritional values either - it's just water added with artificial sweeteners and caffeine. Drink water instead. Carrying a bottle of water with you will encourage you sip it instead of reaching for sweetened beverages.


Snack Sensibly
Instead of regarding snacks as a treat in order to lose weight, regard them as a filler. Plan your snacks to fill the nutritional gap other meals may miss. For instance, if you do not eat enough calcium-rich foods at your three big meals, have a low-fat yogurt as snacks. If you do not eat enough whole grains, have a small whole-wheat sandwich. The key in your fight to lose weight is to plan your snacks ahead instead of letting your vending machine limit your choices. Good snack options include low-fat dairy, fruit, nuts, light popcorn and baked goods made with whole grains. In addition, don't snack just because everyone else in your office is or when you have nothing to do in front of the TV; snack only when you are hungry.


Fill your plate with Vegetables
Vegetables, especially the bright colored and dark green leafy ones, are loaded with vitamins and antioxidants and will help you lose weight. They are also high in fiber and hence very filling. In addition, they are low in calories - good to help lose weight and trim your waistline. When you fill up your stomach with veggies, you will less likely feel the urge to binge on meats and other desserts later on.


Eat Breakfast
People often skip breakfast. Some skip it because they are often too rushed in the morning and have little time to prepare. Some people skip it as a measure to maintain or lose weight. Studies have shown that people who eat breakfast regularly actually are more easily able to control their weight than those who skip breakfast. Often times, skipping a meal results in an increased total caloric intake than if we just ate more frequently throughout the course of the day.


Stop when you are full
Do you continue to pour gasoline in your car even though it is full? If not, why do so to your own body? Our body is capable of sending satiety signal, so stop eating when you are full. Don't overeat for the sake of finishing the plate. If you feel guilty about wasting foods, simply doggie-bag it and save it for later.

applauding all homoeopaths who willed to explore this space with me, namely Dr.
Prabhakar Y. Devadiga, HOD of Organon Department, Dr.Jai Patel, and HOD of
Repertory Department and Others.
All those juniors who were with me during my unexplainable way of case taking and
would scratch their heads and ask why are you taking their handwriting
samples??? Hahahaa
I thank my Parents, who have made me capable enough to do this work.
I heap huge showers of thanks and praise on Drsaab, who has been a moral fiber of
help.
I take this chance to thank all my friends, patients, clients who kept me
motivated.

sister who has done all the typing and scanning work for me.
And to end it with a big thank you to my Graphology teachers Mr.Milind Rajore and
Mohan Sir, without whom this would not get seeded.
And thank You KHUDA, for all that I have and all that I will
get which has been the best and will be the best.
Introduction
To inaugurate, here’s a short overture; myself Dr.Fatema Saifuddin Palgharwala,
born and bred in Palghar a small township in Dist. Thane, Maharashtra. Finished my
schooling in Palghar and then took admission in 1st BHMS, in our esteemed college,
Smt.Chandaben Mohanbhai Patel, Homoeopathic Medical College, and now the year 2007
—08 am an Intern here and taking the pleasure of presenting to you my pioneer
work in Homoeopathy showing the application of Graphology in Homoeopathic Case
Taking. We will see here how Graphology helps in various aspects of case taking
and remedy selection to management of the ailment, in short of the patient as a
whole.
I got acquainted with graphology in my 3rd year, learnt Graphology with Mr.Milind
Rajore; he is an undisputed authority in the field. The science has been of
constant help since then, and this is just a small effort to link the two
astounding sciences, Graphology & Homoeopathy.
Graphology provides a form of assessment that may offer unexpected clues to the
mystery of another and will help prevent unpleasant surprises!
Graphology defined- ‘Grapho’ is the Greek for writing & ‘logy’ means
study.
Ancient origins of Graphology- 6000 years ago, the ancient Chinese analyzed the
calligraphy & revealed personality traits.
Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle is quoted “SPOKEN WORDS ARE THE SYMBOLS OF
MENTAL EXPERIENCE, AND WRITTEN WORDS ARE THE SYMBOLS OF THE SPOKEN WORDS.”
Other ancient influences on Graphology- Roman historian & biographer Suetonius was
a handwriting analyst of Emperor Augustus.
Monks in the middle ages used Graphology.
Pioneering works: First book on Graphology written in the 17th century by Camillo
Baldi an Italian physician.
First book published on graphology in 1872 by 2 French monks Abbé Michon & Abbé
Flandrin.
German Graphologist & Doctor, Dr.Ludwig Klages established & linked Graphology
with Psychology & Physiology. Thus, screening it as a Science rather then an Art.
HOW DOES GRAPHOLOGY WORK?
THOUGHTS
WORDS
ACTION
HABIT
CHARACTER
So we understand that the thought is the real force behind every
characteristic the thought is subconscious mind & characteristic is conscious
mind. Through graphology we read the thoughts of a person of which characteristics
will be the fallout.
Graphology today is Studied in universities & colleges, is a part of
psychology, criminology, medical sciences, recruitment, compatibility, counseling
etc.
Graphology is a very powerful science which will reveal all the thoughts
of the writer his past present and future.
All about his HEALTH WEALTH AND RELATIONSHIPS a graphologist is unable to reveal
the sex, nationality, left - right handedness of the writer but a handful of
experienced analysts will be right in these areas also. Forgery is one of the most
essential areas where graphology is most used today.
Graphology is a tool for many professions to name a few here,
PSYCHOLOGISTS: they study graphology so that it can be used as a tool for
studying human behaviour.
GRAPHOTHERAPISTS: use it to assess and improve the state of a person’s mental
health.
GRAPHOPATHOLOGISTS: handwriting is used as medical diagnostic tool,
identifying the particular disease or condition a writer has or can develop it is
now accepted that handwriting analysis can provide warning signs of an illness in
early stages like hypertension, near sightedness, arthritis, suicidal tendencies,
calcium deficiencies, organ failures etc...
FORENSIC GRAPHOLOGISTS: are employed to check the veracity of documents, to
see a signature or other writing has been forged, and to identify, or not suspects
by their handwriting and signature samples.
PERSONNEL DEPARTMENTS: recruitment departments, employ graphologists for job
applicant analysis, hobbyists use the science for entertainment purposes in clubs
and parties. Counselors use it to advise people on compatibility or help assess a
personal relationship.
Thus am sure after reading from above you must have understood what is
Graphology!!
Now let us focus our attentions to homoeopathic case taking which is an art and
science by itself.
HOMOEOPATHIC CASE TAKING
HOMOEOAPTHY cannot start without Organon of Medicine the 6th Edition
We are all well aware about the History of Organon and Our Father Of Homoeopathy
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann so lets move our attentions directly on HOMOEOPATHIC CASE
TAKING, going to our aphorisms from §82 to §104 he talks about case taking in
detail, all about the do and don’ts of the physician the prejudices he faces
during the case taking process.
Understanding a patient is one of the most difficult tasks that a physician faces.
A well-organised programme of medical education, however, develops in him the
requisite proficiency in the various techniques. But, getting on with people is an
art which develops out of the inherent interest in people and their doings. A
physician has the rare privilege of witnessing the drama of life with all its joys
and sorrows. A person in the clutches of the past, which seems to haunt him at all
times, and which distorts the present and appears to be a helpless victim of fate.
SO NOW LETS SEE WHERE THE TWO SCIENCES MEET WHICH SEEM TO BE SO APART!
After reading above you will have definitely got an eyeview of the two
sciences
In case taking we ask the various Questions to the patient and receive an answer.
In graphology we ask for a handwriting sample and analyze it with our skill, case
taking is a long process which needs full attention of the physician, similary in
graphology it takes time to minutely sit and study all the aspects of the
handwriting all the curves and styles of the sample, a single letter‘t’ has 52
types so just imagine the meticulousness required in the process.
One should know the various case taking skills like when dealing with tricky
situations, as in mental history taking in history from patient’s relatives, etc,
in graphology the graphologist is exposed to all the bare facts about the sample
giver which is a big responsibility, ‘trust’ is a universal prerequisite for both
a homoeopathic physician and a graphologist, we deal with a human beings most
secret situations and hidden facts of life
So we know that the two are so similar yet so different it’s like a hot sizzler
chocolate sauce with ice-cream, so how tasty that sounds! Similarly the
combination of graphology with homoeopathic case taking will help you reach the
similimum, which is the final goal of a homoeopathic physician .also how the graph
therapy and homoeopathy work so well in harmony how the drug when given with
appropriate handwriting changes have changed the lives of many suffering souls and
to top it all all in one dose am sure this is going to intrigue all those
homoeopathic doctors who completely believe in AUDE SAPERE…………………..
Since words can only enhance the fire lets continue further and let me reveal the
work to you & see how this combination has helped me a homoeopathic physician in
reaching the similimum with help of graphology.
ANONYMITY -- In the cases which follow the preliminary data of the patient has
been changed for privacy reasons.
All the best
A feedback on every work is a must and criticism is growth so do give a reaction
on the work the details for sending the same is at the end of the work .This is my
first work in the area so kindly abide if any mistakes have occurred in the work.
Am here to learn and all of You are my teachers.

CONCLUSION
While doing this work one thing that I have felt throughout is eternal bliss, yes
that’s may be the best way I can describe my feelings. The conclusion overall is
it’s a good amalgamation of two very diverse sciences which when applied together
makes the journey more enjoyable and friction free.
When the work was primarily started I was very sceptical about the end product and
yet I knew its going to work ,well I think that’s my core which is like this,
talking about the core , or the so called source of individuals with handwriting
you can see it all on paper ,so then its just like asking the right questions and
understanding it only better .I have grown on both the sciences equally and am
sure the work will have helped you also to understand the two sciences to certain
extents. Talking about one of the cases in the thesis which was an experience in
its itself altogether, the case of Depersonalisation that patient when approached
me; I was not going to take the case at all because I was only a neonate in the
field although I decided to go on with it, the case was K/C/O Derealization and
the patient wanted relief! we started the journey the patient spoke and told all
the happenings and history the homoeopathic case is in front of me, well then I
see the handwriting and the case has taken a fresh turn altogether, its all clear
and the drug comes out to be Can.Indica 1M, the red alerts in handwriting were
simply a scene, a dream come true I was understanding the handwriting with the
point of view of homoeopathy it was like eureka!! moment wow feeling yes I can do
something out of this work and put it all together and then on theres been no
looking behind; simple take the sample take the case and its all in front of you
direct clean and clear and the remedy works.
The Big Bang of Graphology.
Now there is more work to do in the field.Graphopathology has evolved where in
every tissue every organ every bone can be checked for.
Every mineral deficiency can be checked for ……
….and much more.
So my dear homoeopath welcome to the world of graphology this is only a beginning

Massage and Weight Loss

Massage has always been known to help relieve stress, recover from hard physical activity or injury and even reduce anxiety.

But can it help you to achieve your weight loss goals?

Research shows that massage can have a positive effect on your muscle-building capabilities and fitness levels, which in turn increases your capacity to control or lose weight.

Massage has the following benefits that can directly influence your ability to control or lose weight:

1. Massage has been shown to improve circulation and the supply of nutrients to the muscles. Massage increases the exchange of vital substances between the blood and tissue cells, which increases tissue metabolism. After muscles are exercised, vital nutrients must be supplied to them so that they can recover and rebuild themselves. Massage maximizes the supply of these nutrients and oxygen through increased blood flow, which helps the muscles to grow and burn more calories as a result.

2. Massage helps to shorten the healing time required between your workouts. Waste products such as lactic and carbonic acid build up in muscles during and after exercise. Massaging these muscles help increase circulation and eliminate toxic waste products and in doing so shorten recovery time.

3. Massage can also help reduce the chance of you over-training. It has a relaxing effect on the muscles and a calming effect on the nervous system. By helping you to rest, which is a very important element of any exercise program, massage can reduce the likelihood of you experiencing over-training syndrome {doing more exercise than required}, which is known to limit your ability lose weight with maximum efficiency.

Let’s discuss some of the types of massages:

1) Swedish Massage Therapy
This is the most common type of massage therapy. It is also known as Swedish massage or simply massage therapy.
Massage therapists use long smooth strokes, kneading, and circular movements on superficial layers of muscle using massage lotion or oil.
Swedish massage therapy can be very gentle and relaxing. If you've never had massage before, this is a good one to try first.

2) Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy massage is massage therapy with the addition of one or more scented plant oils called essential oils to address specific needs mainly stress-related problems
The massage therapist can select oils that are relaxing, energizing, stress-reducing, and balancing. One of the most common essential oils used in aromatherapy massage is lavender.

3) Hot Stone Massage
Heated, smooth stones are placed on certain points on the body to warm and loosen tight muscles and balance energy centres in the body.
The massage therapist may also hold stones and apply gentle pressure with them. The warmth is comforting.



4) Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. The massage therapist uses slower strokes or friction techniques across the grain of the muscle.
Deep tissue massage is used for chronically tight or painful muscles, repetitive strain, postural problems, or recovery from injury. People often feel sore for one to two days after deep tissue massage.

5) Pregnancy Massage
Also called prenatal massage, pregnancy massage is becoming increasingly popular with expectant mothers. Massage therapists who are certified in pregnancy massage know the proper way to position and support the woman's body during the massage, and how to modify techniques.
Pregnancy massage is used to reduce stress, decrease swelling, relieve aches and pains, and reduce anxiety and depression.

6) Reflexology
Although reflexology is sometimes called foot massage, it is more than simple foot massage. Reflexology involves applying pressure to certain points on the foot that correspond to organs and systems in the body. Reflexology is very relaxing, especially for people who stand on their feet all day or just have tired, achy feet.

7) Chocolate Massage. Interestingly while chocolate spells disaster for dieters it reacts quite remarkably in an opposite manner when applied on the skin! These therapies are effective and have a significant impact improving their skin texture and softening it. Chocolates have Glycerides which deliver moisturizing lipids and fats to plump and firm the skin. This firms and moisturises the skin resulting in that dream come true baby soft skin.
These improvements last from anywhere between one and a half months to two months from a single session!

Also selecting the right products, following the right procedure and training is critical for just as with any other treatment mistakes can cause complications.

So there you have it. Massage has a lot of benefits that can indirectly and possibly even directly help you in achieving your weight loss goals. But it is not only massages that will help you achieve your goal. You can include it with your regular regime of exercise and diet.

Remember, weight loss is all about leading a balanced lifestyle and massage is an essential part of any balanced lifestyle.

And remember, have fun!
