What Is a Keto Fat Bomb? This Keto Diet Secret Weapon Will Keep You on Track
https://ift.tt/2ApLexZ There's no denying that the keto diet is effective; it's helped countless people lose tons of weight, fight inflammation, and even regulate their blood sugar. But being successful on the diet requires some careful planning and meal prep. After all, the high-fat, moderate-protein, and super low-carb diet isn't conducive to the standard American diet, which is typically high in refined carbohydrates and processed food. To stay on track with the keto diet and make sure you are getting enough fat in your day, you may need to incorporate fat bombs. Fat bombs are small snacks or desserts that are extremely high in fat. Not only are these snacks satiating since fat itself is a satiating macronutrient, but they are also a way for people to enjoy dessert, since many fat bombs tend to be "sweet" treats (usually sweetened with Stevia or another zero-carb sweetener). But fat bombs aren't only limited to snacks and desserts; enjoy one for a quick breakfast or as a pre-workout or post-workout treat. On the keto diet, the macronutrient breakdown is typically 70 to 80 percent fat, 15 to 20 percent protein, and five to 10 percent carbohydrates, usually not exceeding 50 grams of carbs a day. If you're having trouble reaching your fat intake, a keto bomb can help you reach your goal. If you are just starting out with fat bombs, it may be best to start with a smaller serving and work your way up to a full serving size until your stomach gets used to eating that much fat at once. If you tend to get nauseated eating something so dense on an empty stomach, try eating a fat bomb after a meal - a win-win for the keto fat bomb desserts. Getting hungry for a keto bomb?

4 Ways Intermittent Fasting Helped Me Lose Body Fat Everywhere, Especially My Belly
https://ift.tt/2M22RVQ I used to think that skipping meals was a recipe for disaster, but I quickly learned that intermittent fasting (IF) has a lot of benefits that can help you lose weight and shed body fat. IF isn't a diet, but rather it's a lifestyle where you eat all your meals within an eight-hour window and fast for the remaining 16 hours of the day. I started doing IF a year ago, and that (coupled with regular exercising) helped me lose a percentage of body fat and drop two dress sizes. I was even able to gain a few pounds of muscle over the course of a few months. IF was a huge game changer for me, and more importantly, it helped me feel my very best. Here are four ways IF helped me lose body fat everywhere, especially my belly. Health via POPSUGAR Fitness https://ift.tt/2mWxwLI July 30, 2018 at 01:58PM

https://ift.tt/2v0X8cE Many of us know how difficult it can be to maintain our fitness routine when we're on the go. You may not have access to a gym or your schedule might only permit a few minutes at most to get your sweat on. As someone who's traveling constantly, celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson - who's behind the ever-popular self-titled method - knows this struggle all too well.

Poll: Majority in U.S. Support Medical Pot
https://ift.tt/2mVTLPK Support is slightly softer for recreational pot, and skews toward younger adults. Sixty-seven percent of those aged 18 to 34 support legalization of recreational marijuana, compared with 68 percent of 35- to 44-year-olds and 57 percent of those aged 55 to 64. That number dropped to 38 percent for those aged 65 and older. Support for recreational cannabis appears to be driven in part by concerns over the opioid addiction epidemic in the United States. Slightly more than half of adults, 53 percent, said if marijuana were legal, fewer people would die from opioid overdoses. Younger adults most strongly supported this line of reasoning: 65 percent of those aged 18 to 34 versus 54 percent of those aged 35 to 44, and about 45 percent of those aged 55 and older. "Marijuana is seen as a way to ease the opioid crisis and even prevent opioid-related deaths," Percassi said. But there are a lot of misperceptions out there regarding the usefulness of pot, argued Fred Muench, president and CEO of the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids. There haven't been many clinical trials comparing medical marijuana to other pain-relief methods, such as over-the-counter painkillers, prescription opioids, physical therapy or medical devices, Muench said. There's also "no evidence to support" the idea that using medical marijuana could help curb the opioid epidemic, he added. "When you look at the recent reviews of the evidence of medical marijuana, it's not that great," Muench said. "Let's make sure we're opening the conversation up to really understand what all of the alternatives are, rather than making a dichotomous argument of opioids versus marijuana." On the other hand, early studies out of legalization states have linked recreational marijuana to an increased number of emergency department visits and traffic accidents, Muench noted. Early pot use among adolescents has been associated with poor school performance, higher dropout rates, unemployment, poor life satisfaction and an overall lack of motivation, he added. "The problem here is we're at the beginning of this massive experiment with unknown outcomes," Muench said, "but we have a literature base on the effects of marijuana we're completely ignoring."

Bad Breath, Dry Mouth, and More - the Side Effects of the Keto Diet No One Tells You About
https://ift.tt/2mV1JZr The keto diet, the high-fat, moderate-protein, super-low-carb diet that puts your body into a state of ketosis, has helped countless people lose weight and fight inflammation. And while there are plenty of other positive health benefits, such as helping treat diabetes and transforming your life, there are some negative physical side effects of the diet, too. When your body goes into a state of ketosis, it starts to burn fat for fuel instead of glucose. By burning through its fat stores, your body produces ketones in the liver. These ketones end up in your urine and your breath, giving you the dreaded "keto breath." The culprit is acetone, a ketone that enters into your breath that can smell metallic or like rotten fruit. Going into ketosis can also give you dry mouth or a cottonmouth side effect. But these aren't the only unpleasant physical symptoms of the keto diet. In fact, when your body goes into ketosis, it can give you symptoms of dehydration. "Due to the fact that nutritional ketosis increases sodium (salt) excretion by the kidneys, if a person severely restricts salt intake in combination with this diet, dehydration symptoms like headache, fatigue, exercise intolerance, dry mouth, and constipation can occur," Steve Phinney, MD, PhD, chief medical officer at Virta Health, told POPSUGAR. These dehydration symptoms aren't super common, but when they occur, they can be unpleasant. As a relief, Dr. Phinney suggests drinking one to two cups of salt-containing broth to replenish the sodium. Ultimately, you shouldn't make any major dietary changes without consulting with your doctor first. With these side effects in mind, along with the other dangers of the keto diet, it's up to you and your healthcare provider to decide if keto is right for you.
