What is the biggest mistakes people make in trying to lose weight?
1. Losing weight. You don't want to necessarily lose body mass. You want to lose body fat. You probably need to GAIN body mass, if anything. I'm not talking about being bulky. Most people don't realize how incredibly disciplined and dedicated you must be in order to build enough muscle for people to call you bulky. If you're trying to lose weight, you're most likely losing muscle by slowing your metabolism; when you want to lose fat and gain muscle by healing and building your metabolism.
What is the biggest mistake in people make in trying to lose excess fat through diet?
2. Grazing. I'm not talking about the obvious: snacking on junk food and processed crap throughout the day whenever you're bored, when you don't feel full, or when your blood sugar dips for a moment. Yes, that must stop, but most people can't; especially if you face the challenges of obesity like I did.
I speak here to healthy food grazing. Grazing upon healthy food to transition from eating unhealthy snacks helps you shift and heal your biochemistry from fast carbs (sweets, breads, pastas and dairy) to slow carbs (fruits then veggies). Shifting from fast to slow carbs will make more manageable your volatile biochemistry, and allow you to get a grip on the compulsive eating caused by damaged cells which have been unregulated to only crave fast fuels.
But even healthy grazing won't speed up your metabolism. In fact, it will keep it slowed or if used as a substitute for eating meals instead of a transition off of unhealthy junk, it will even inhibit your metabolism further. Even slow carbs are still carbs, and elevate your blood sugar levels, without allowing you the rebuilding properties of lean proteins and healthy fats. Transitioning from fast unhealthy carbs to slow healthy carbs is just the 1st Step. The 2nd Step is crucial, and most people neglect to make it, which results in preventing the repair of their metabolism.
The 2nd step involves restoring your meal-eating of balanced macronutrients (complex, or slow, carbs; lean, genetically unmodified proteins; and healthy, natural fats). Here's the most overlooked aspect of neglecting to transition back to meal-eating: you cannot eat a sufficient amount of food to repair your metabolism by grazing; the sum total food that you can consume by grazing does not equal the total food that you can eat across several meals. You primarily cannot eat sufficient meals while grazing because you don't experience true hunger enough to consume sufficient quantities of complex carbs, lean proteins and healthy fats.
If you continue to spike your blood sugar with carbs alone, the insulin levels will prevent you from properly utilizing the lean proteins and healthy fats when you do eat them at your meals. (This applies, too, if you snack on only healthy proteins or on only healthy fats.) This will slow your metabolism, so that when you do eat your meals, your slowed metabolism will perceive the healthy proteins and fats as "excess" and ship them out to fat storage rather than using them to build the furnace of your metabolism.
To heal your metabolism, take the 1st step: to transition off of fast fueled junk to slow burning healthy snacks. But as soon as you do, then take the 2nd step: to begin the weening process off grazing in order to build your meals. To build your meals, fast between them as much as possible: only water, unsweetened hot tea, and as little unsweetened coffee as possible. Fasting begins around 1.5-2 hrs and optimizes at around 3-3.5. At 4 hours, your begin the process of downshifting your metabolism because your chemistry assumes a meal isn't coming: so it slows down. This means, begin eating a meal every 4 hours approximately.
Yes, I vehemently disagree with fasting for weight loss, for the above mentioned biochemical reasons. The body does occasionally need a reset, and will intuitively not desire food approximately once every 3-5 weeks, but if it is abused as a weight loss method rather than a detoxification process from the hidden chemicals in our food, then you'll only damage your metabolism and downshift it, while upregulating your cells to crave fast burning fuels. (If you are fit, healthy and sustainably high performing in your job and life all day long without lulls, by consistent fasting or single end of day meal feasting, then you'll be the first I've ever met in my decades as a national coach.)
Once you've begun this process of weening off of grazing and building your meals, not only will you see your stored body fat begin to disappear as you start reconverting it to fuel, but you will also see that you're building muscle again, as your protein is no longer being shipped out to be stored as body fat, and begins being utilized.
Trying to lose weight means that you're slowing your metabolism, cannibalizing your own muscle, and any healthy food you do eat will be shipped out to be stored as body fat. Build your meals by weening off the (necessary transitionary step of) grazing, and you will heal your metabolism and restore the natural muscle-building, fat burning furnace.

![Why Indian women wear toe rings (BICHHIYA)? there is a Science Behind this..read n share
Most Indian women who are married wear a toe-ring. It’s not only a sign that the woman is married, it’s also science. Indian Vedas (Vedham or Vedam) say that by wearing this in both feet, it is believed, that their Menstrual cycle course is regularized with even intervals. This gives good scope for conceiving to married women. Also it is said just because that particular nerve in the second finger from toe, also connects the uterus and passes through heart. If you notice, the toe ring will always be on the second toe of the right leg and also the left leg. It will control the uterus and keep it healthy by producing evenly balanced blood pressure to the uterus...
As Silver being a good conductor, it also absorbs the energy from the polar energies from the earth and passes it to the body, thus refreshing whole body system.
In great Indian epic called 'Ramayana' toe ring plays a vital role. When Sita was abducted by Ravana, on the way, she throwed her toe ring (kaniazhi) as the identification for lord Rama. This shows that toe ring is used from ancient time.
Toe rings were introduced to the United States by Marjorie Borell who, after returning from India began manufacturing and selling them in New York in 1973. Her first retail outlet was Fiorucci, a trendy fashion retailer located on 59th Street in New York.
Think about it...

8 cups water or chicken broth
4 whole cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 lbs. smoked ham bone or ham hocks
2 bay leaves
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed

1/2 tsp. thyme, crushed (optional)
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
pinch of cayenne pepper, or to taste
Rinse the beans in cold running water and sort to remove any stones, debris or split beans. Wash several times. Cover the beans with water in a large bowl and leave beans to soak overnight covered. Drain.
In a Crock Pot or large heavy cooking pot bring the beans and broth to boiling. Add a large meaty ham bone or ham hocks, onions, celery, garlic, thyme, pepper, Worcestershire Sauce and bay leaves. Salt may be at the table to suit every ones taste.
Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer over very low heat a couple of hours or until the beans are nearly tender.
Remove the bone or ham hocks. When ham is cool enough to handle, remove any remaining meat from bones and chop. Add meat back to soup.
Add potatoes and carrots. Cover and simmer over low heat 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Soup is always better the second day, when all the flavors are well blended together. So prepare this dish the day before you want to eat it and enjoy!
