Caffeine and Weight Loss

Does Caffeine Hinder Weight Loss?

Yes and no, caffeine may promote weight loss or the opposite. Caffeine may give a boost to your metabolism, but as it’s after effect, it gives you an urge to “pig-out” at mealtime or even in-between-meal snacks. So, gain or lose, it’s up to discipline and self-control.

More input from doctors and clinics:

A few studies indicate that large amounts of caffeine – the equivalent of six cups of coffee a day – may slightly enhance weight loss in people who exercise and maintain a low-fat diet. But no studies indicate that weight loss from large amounts of caffeine is significant or permanent.

5 Exercise Tips For the Working Mom

While you are raising a family, sometimes the pressures of daily life seem overwhelming. You have kids to get ready for school, housework, meals, laundry, illnesses, not to mention your job if you work outside the home! “When the heck am I going to have time to workout?” That is a question I hear regularly, and I can relate to that because I am a working mother myself. Sometimes it is just impossible to stick to a regular fitness routine and the preparation of healthy meals.

That being said, I try not to let everyday stress become an excuse to not get my regular exercise in. We all have 24 hours in a day, so we need to find some time during that period for some form of exercise. Part of your daily routine includes a shower and brushing your teeth. You would not go without those, so if you make exercise part of your daily routine too, it will become a habit. A great habit! It is just not right to use lack of time as an excuse to avoid exercise. If you are afraid to get started, or just not sure how, then read on, I think this will help you.

Are you making your passion your profession?

Since most of us spend the majority of our waking life working for a living, can we really afford to be, and do we really want to be in the wrong profession ?

In today’s competitive environment, it is not at all uncommon to find people working as much as 16-18 hours a day and indulging in our hobbies and interests only on the weekends. So, if we are forced to work for such a long duration in the wrong job, it is bound to lead to health as well as other adverse implications which will permeate into all areas of our lives.

Do you think that if you could turn your passion into a profession that you would be a happier, well adjusted, healthier person?
