For weight loss and general health, the US Surgeon General recommends: Be physically active for at least 30 minutes (adults) or 60 minutes (children) on most days of the week. This level of activity burns approximately 150 calories, which would burn 5 pounds in 6 months. This level of exercise reduces disease risks and should be considered the minimum daily requirement, regardless of weight.
Most weight loss programs recommend building up to an hour a day (most days of the week) of moderately intense physical activity, such as brisk walking. This amount of exercise burns approximately 300 extra calories, leading to losing 10 pounds in 6 months. This level of physical activity is also associated with even lower health risks for major diseases.
It is also essential for weight loss to watch what you eat. An extra candy bar or bag of potato chips each day will eliminate any weight loss you may hope for from exercise alone. To lose weight, you must eat fewer calories than you burn. Most people cannot estimate their calorie intake accurately unless they keep a food diary for a few days and do the totals. Weight loss success is due to eating fewer total calories than you burn off each day.
Keep a diet journal or use Calorie Count to record the calories and nutrition content of each item you eat. With a free membership, you can track everything you eat and get recommendations on healthier choices.

What can you support your loved ones who are trying to lose weight?
Weight loss is about more than self-control and scheduling. Planning strategies can certainly help a dieter make better food decisions during the day and complete regular workouts, but if discipline alone was the key to weight loss, then a lot more people would be skinny.
If you want to support your loved one as they try to lose weight, your best bet is simply to ask how you can help. And if that doesn’t work, one weight loss forum participant summed up the best advice: “if you can't be kind, or if you are uncomfortable, then say nothing.”
There are physical, medical and emotional components to losing weight. Rather than telling your friend what they need, try asking questions about what they need, instead. Say, “what can I do to help?” or “is there any way that I can support you?”
Unless you have a badge and a uniform, you are not the food police. It's not your job to chime in if your friend eats a food that you don't agree with. Every diet is different and every eating plan allows for different foods and portions. None of us has the right or the expertise to comment on someone else’s eating behavior. If you are really trying to be supportive, then fill your own plate with healthy food and enjoy your own diet-friendly meal.
A decision to go on a diet is not a proclamation that you hate your body or live an unhappy life. It is simply a decision to diet. That’s all. Very few people, whether they are dieting or not, would invite an armchair analysis of their personal happiness, so don’t provide one.

Six tips for a smooth take-off with your e-cigs
The good news is, electronic cigarettes are “taking off”! More than 3.5 million people are now “vaping”! Starbuzz e-cig users, for example, enjoy its sensational flavors, thick, rich vapor volume, and gratifying lifestyle. Here are six air travel tips to ensure that you and your e-cig have a smooth take-off:
1. Ask the airline you’re flying with which items it allows you to bring in your checked or carry-on luggage. Remember that commercial airlines and charter flights work under different rules – and the latter may let you use your e-cigs.
2. Pack your e-cig items in your carry-on rather than checked luggage. This enables you to be present to answer any security questions.
3. Remember that checked luggage may be subjected to later checks and x-ray screens and metal detectors will show the battery.
4. Get through security checkpoints more easily by unscrewing the battery and cartridge or atomizer – including them with your keys, coins, watch, wallet etc that you send through the x-ray scanner. Separating the device from the power source also prevents potential problems as they go through the scanner.
5. When aboard the aircraft, keep your e-cig stowed away. Do not attempt to smoke it either in the cabin or the lavatories.
6. Be aware of any unexpected changes to laws or regulations by regularly checking theTSA website, well as various airline sites.
While you generally will not be able to use e-cigarettes while in the sky, there are plenty of other places where you may enjoy your e-cigarettes during your travels. So don’t forget to pack along an extra e-cig battery and enough cartridges in your favorite flavors to last you.

Top Ten Surprising High-Fiber Foods
Fiber is something the body needs but never actually digests. The benefits of an efficient bowel aside, a high-fiber diet can also reduce the risk of stroke, hypertension, and heart disease. The Institute of Medicine recommends that men under 50 eat about 38 grams of fiber each day and women consume 25 grams. Adults over 50 require less fiber (30 grams for dudes and 21 grams for ladies) due to decreased food consumption. Here are top ten surprising high-fiber foods for you.
Health, weight loss, diet, fiber, food
Fiber comes in two varieties, soluble and insoluble, and most plant-based foods contain a mixture of the two. Soluble fiber turns to gel in the stomach and slows digestion, which helps lower cholesterol and blood glucose. Insoluble fiber, on the other hand, remains unchanged all the way to the colon, making waste heavier and softer so it can shimmy through the intestines more easily. Regardless of these differences, neither type of fiber is ever absorbed into the body.
1. Split peas -- 16.3 grams per cup, cooked.
A staple in Indian cooking, split peas form a terrific, protein-rich base for soups, stews, and dhals. This South Asian recipe is the best kind of comfort food: healthy, satisfying, and super filling.
2. Lentils -- 15.6 grams per cup, cooked.
Lentils are kitchen all-stars — they take less time to cook and are more versatile than many other legumes. This recipe takes advantage of their slightly meatier taste and turns them into a juicy patty that’s held together with lemon juice, cilantro, and walnuts.
3. Black beans -- 15 grams per cup, cooked.
Sweet potato pairs perfectly with the smokiness of chipotle peppers and adds even more fiber to this hearty bean dish. Loaded with complex carbs and protein, this cold-weather stew makes a perfect post-workout meal.
4. Lima beans -- 13.2 grams per cup, cooked.
Lima beans might sound unappetizing, but when cooked in bacon fat, paired with leeks, puréed into a soup, and topped with sour cream, they’re pretty darn delicious.
5. Artichokes -- 10.3 grams per medium vegetable, cooked.
Packing more fiber per serving than any other vegetable, artichokes are curiously underused in most people’s kitchens (perhaps because they look a bit… prickly). Get creative and try this simple recipe with lime, garlic, and black pepper.
6. Peas -- 8.8 grams per cup, cooked.
Puréeing veggies is a great way to squeeze extra nutrients into any meal — this recipe comes together lightning-fast and is filled with protein, omega-3s, and, of course, fiber.
7. Broccoli -- 5.1 grams per cup, boiled.
This caveman-friendly dish is pretty simple. To make these fritters, just combine onion, garlic, broccoli, eggs, and almond meal. Once they hit the table, you’ll be surprised how much broccoli gets finished in one sitting.
8. Brussels sprouts -- 4.1 grams per cup, boiled.
Try this Asian twist on the old standard — this meal carries tones of ginger, sesame, and peanut that will keep you coming back for seconds (and maybe thirds).
9. Raspberries -- 8 grams per cup, raw.
Raspberries aren’t a hard sell — they’re basically nature’s candy. With the help of coconut, oatmeal, and vanilla, they make a relatively healthy dessert that pleases any palate.
10. Blackberries -- 7.6 grams per cup, raw.
Successfully mixing sweet and savory isn’t for the faint of heart, but this salad makes use of blackberries, lemon, scallions, and dill to great effect.

What ingredients do you need to make healthy French fries?
1. Butternut squash. The taste and texture are extremely similar to sweet potatoes, yet the squash has around half the starchy carbs and calories! Each ounce of the raw squash has 13 calories, plus half a gram of fiber. Just weigh the squash flesh accordingly before cooking it up.
2. Turnip. This is a surprisingly delicious way to get your French fry fix... especially if you prefer classic potato taste as opposed to sweet potato flavor. There is a slight cabbage taste to it -- all in all, it's a fantastic spud swap. And get this... Turnips have only 8 calories per ounce, and a half-gram of fiber. The average medium turnip weighs about 12 ounces... just 95 calories!
3. Carrots. Another shockingly wonderful fry base! Fans of sweet-potato fries will love this swap. An ounce of raw carrot has 12 calories and just under a gram of fiber. These don't get quite as crispy as some of the others, but they taste incredible!
4. Russet potatoes. Sometimes, only potato-based French fries will do... The crispy outside and tender inside are undeniably delicious. And if you watch your portion size and stick with my baked-not-fried method, you can enjoy them guilt-free. There are 22 calories in each ounce of raw potato, plus about a half-gram of fiber. It's extremely important to weigh your potatoes. There's a common misconception that an average russet potato weighs 6 ounces, but the Hungry Girl test kitchen has that found 12 ounces is more accurate.
5. Half and half. The best way to get a huge portion of fries, using real potatoes, is to go halvsies! Sweet potatoes pair well with butternut squash or carrots. Russet potatoes are perfect with turnips.
6. Seasonings. A little coarse salt is all it takes. If you want to spice things up, experiment with garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. Or give your fries a sweet spin with cinnamon and some no-calorie sweetener.
6. Guilt-free dipping sauce. Ketchup is an obvious choice, and it's low in calories, with about 15 per tablespoon. BBQ sauce is also good -- look for one with 45 calories or less per 2-tablespoon serving. http://www.paiyouguo.us/

The best and worst hiding places for your e-cigs
Once you begin to enjoy vaping, we believe you will feel it is of extreme value as well. It is priority for you to know where it is at all times but for others to not know! This “others” can include adults, kids and even pets.
Best Places for Hiding
1. In a pillow case! Why not? It keeps dust and other particles off of your device.
2. In a hidden compartment in a doorway. Possibly a closet door or a door that is not used by guests on a regular basis. You can have one actually installed for an inexpensive price.
3. In a book on a bookshelf where there are tons of books but you find one that is hollowed out or is made to be used for storing a valuable. They actually sell these if you are interested!
4. There are plenty of products you can buy to store your valuables such as a safe or a fake wall outlet. Check out this website for super creative ideas of products to hide valuables such as your e-cig!
5. Look around your home and think of places that you can’t imagine anyone would look. However, make it a place that is easy for you to get to when you are ready to enjoy your e-cig!
Worst Places for Hiding
1. Do not hide them low to the ground where a child or pet could possibly find it. You definitely want it in a position that is unreachable to a child even on a step stool.
2. Never put it in the freezer. The first reason for this is it will ruin your e-cig. Secondly, when you hide things, the freezer is a place that people may think to look. (you know, you’ve heard the old trick of freezing a credit card)
3. Do not store in your car on a regular basis where temperatures can get pretty hot, especially in the south. Plus, there are too many “snooping” type of people that like to search cars!
4. Just like any valuables including money or your grandmother’s special ring, don’t put your e-cig in hidden compartments behind pictures or posters. This is a place people would look first!
5. Last but not least, don’t hide your e-cig in a container that looks suspicious or stirs people’s curiosity where they may think “hmmm…what is in that container anyway!”
Not that you don’t want others to enjoy what you do but at the same time, it needs to be at your discretion. We hope you have found these tips helpful and can begin to decide where the best place to stash your invaluable e-cig is!

Seven things about a healthy breakfast
It's important to start your day with a healthy breakfast, especially if you are trying to lose weight. There are many ways in which eating a wholesome breakfast can improve your chances of weight loss success.
1. Recognize the benefits of eating breakfast. If you eat a morning meal, you are going to be less likely to indulge in a late morning snack. Breakfast skippers often end up binging on food from the vending machine or making poor food choices at a fast food restaurant.
2. Include a source of diet-friendly protein. Egg whites, lean sausage products, Greek yogurt and other sources of protein will help you to feel full and satisfied for a longer period of time. Protein will also help you to build and maintain muscle to shape your figure and burn calories.
3. Choose whole grains if possible. The fiber in whole wheat and whole grain products provide heart healthy benefits, and like protein, will help you to feel satisfied longer.
4. Include a low calorie or low sugar cereal as part of your healthy breakfast. Cereal is quick, easy, and if you add skim milk and berries can provide plenty of nutrients.
5. Enjoy a healthy low-calorie smoothie if you need to eat breakfast on the go. Include fresh fruit, yogurt and other tasty ingredients to make a satisfying breakfast drink.
6. Drink coffee in moderation if it perks you up in the morning. A cup of black coffee contains almost no calories.
7.Eat organic foods and selections from your local health market if you prefer. Many consumers prefer to buy berries, grains and other produce that have been grown without pesticides.
