Training like Rocky!

A revolutionary new weight-loss program makes you workout and sweat at 15,000 feet in a High Altitude Chamber... Hey, all obese people... disheartened by diets whose weight-loss promises bounce back? Desperately considering liposuction or bariatric surgery next? Take heart, you can now lose weight in 21 days by training like world class athletes at high altitude in South Mumbai with Qi Train 21 — a revolutionary new weight-loss program conducted in a specialised High Altitude Chamber at Qi Lifecare, the gym and wellness centre at Eros Cinema building, Churchgate.      The chamber is located on the first floor, but the altitude within is that of a mountain, you could be training at 15,000 feet or 5,000 metres above sea level… where the oxygen content is significantly low, and where even mild exercise leads to increased cardiovascular fitness and accelerated fat loss. The condition is known as hypoxia. Even simple living at high altitude has been exploited by champion athletes (Muhammad Ali did it in his time and Sylvester Stallone for Rocky IV) to enhance their performances.      The program involves 21 halfhour sessions over five weeks. The training is not strenuous. And theworkouts, based on individual heart rate parameters, are created after an extensive pre-program physical evaluation. The sessions are fun. They are supervised by a young team certified by the prestigious American College of Sports Medicine. And include an exciting combination of technologies including the internationally-renowned Vibrogym. This is a vibrating platform that helps conserve and build muscle mass even as it promotes fat reduction. It is being successfully used by fitness conscious celebrities around the world ranging from rockstars to astronauts!      How does Qi Train 21 work? Very simply, the reduced oxygen in the chamber makes it difficult to exercise at the same intensity as you would in a regular gym, and you are forced to use more muscle fibres to workout... thereby burning more calories in the same time. The heart and lungs are encouraged to work harder. And the body's SAO2, that is the saturation of oxygen in the arteries — which is 97-98% at sea level, drops because in hypoxic conditions the body utilises oxygen more efficiently. This program substantially increases your caloric burn even after the session. In 30 minutes, you would burn double the number of calories than a conventional workout. The hypoxic air enhances the body's respiratory, cardiovascular and oxygen utilization systems, apart from stimulating the fat-burning process.      "The High Altitude Chamber is an amazing fat burner with no compromise on safety because the pressure within is not changed, only the oxygen is reduced, and this combination of mainstream science and exercise acts as a catalyst to a longterm weight loss fix," said Qi Train 21 programme director Ketan Ashar. "The results achieved have been incredible; our highest weight loss was 12 kg in five weeks, but most importantly, this 39-year-old gentleman today is far stronger and fitter than ever before. It's a 21-day kickstart into healthy living. Conducted at an altitude of 15,000 feet in South Mumbai... and you're just minutes away from home at the end of it."  Qi Train 21, Eros Cinema Building, 1st Floor, Churchgate, Mumbai 400020.

Eat Less Rice!

The human body was never meant to consume rice! Our genes have hardly changed in more than 30,000 years. However, our food choices and lifestyle have changed dramatically. The caveman would hardly recognise our food or way of life. 

Caveman food was never cooked as fire was not yet tamed. Thus, he ate only those foods that you can eat without treatment with or by fire. He ate fruits, vegetables, fish (sushi anyone?), eggs, nuts and meat. Yes, even meat! You can even eat meat raw if you were starving in the forest. You have the necessary enzymes to digest meat. 

However, rice, like wheat and corn, cannot be eaten raw. It must be cooked. Even if you were starving in the desert, you cannot eat rice in the raw form. This is because we do not have the system of enzymes to break rice down. You were never meant to eat rice. To make matters worse, you not only eat rice, but also make it the bulk of your food. 

In some parts of Asia , rice forms up to 85% of the plate. Even if you take rice, keep it to a minimum. Remember, it is only for your tongue - not your body. Actually, rice and other grains like wheat and corn are actually worse than sugar. There are many reasons: 

Rice becomes sugar - lots of it! 
This is a fact that no nutritionist can deny: rice is chemically no different from sugar. One bowl of cooked rice is the caloric equal of 10 teaspoons of sugar. This does not matter whether it is white, brown or herbal rice.Brown rice is richer in fibre, some B vitamins and minerals but it is still the caloric equal of 10 teaspoons of sugar. To get the same 10 teaspoons of sugar, you need to consume lots of kangkong-10 bowls of it. 

Rice is digested to become sugar. 
Rice cannot be digested before it is thoroughly cooked. However, when thoroughly cooked, it becomes sugar and spikes circulating blood sugarwithin half an hour-almost as quickly as it would if you took a sugar candy. Rice is very low in the 'rainbow of anti-oxidants. ' 

This complete anti-oxidant rainbow is necessary for the effective and safe utilisation of sugar. Fruits come with a sugar called fructose. However, they are not empty calories as the fruit is packed with a whole host of other nutrients that help its proper assimilation and digestion. 

Rice has no fibre. 
The fibre of the kangkong fills you up long before your blood sugar spikes. This is because the fibre bulks and fills up your stomach. Sincewhite rice has no fibre, you end up eating lots of 'calorie dense' food before you get filled up. Brown rice has more fibre but still the same amount of sugar. 

Rice is tasteless-sugar is sweet.. 
There is only so much that you can eat at one sitting. How many teaspoons of sugar can you eat before you feel like throwing up? Could you imagine eating 10 teaspoons of sugar in one seating? 

Rice is always the main part of the meal. 
While sugar may fill your dessert or sweeten your coffee, it will never be the main part of any meal. You could eat maybe two to three teaspoons of sugar at one meal. However, you could easily eat the equal value of two to three bowls (20-30 teaspoons) of sugar in one meal. I am always amused when I see someone eat sometimes five bowls of rice (equals 50 teaspoons of sugar) and then asks for tea tarik kurang manis! 

There is no real 'built in' mechanism for us to prevent overeating of rice: 
How much kangkong can you eat? 
How much fried chicken can you eat? 
How much steamed fish can you eat? 
Think about that! 

In one seating, you cannot take lots of chicken, fish or cucumber, but you can take lots of rice. Eating rice causes you to eat more salt. As rice is tasteless, you tend to consume more salt-another villain when it comes to high blood pressure. You tend to take more curry that has salt to help flavor rice. We also tend to consume more ketchup and soy sauce which are also rich in salt. 

Eating rice causes you to drink less water. 
The more rice you eat, the less water you will drink as there is no mechanism to prevent the overeating of rice. Rice, wheat and corn come hidden in our daily food. As rice is tasteless, it tends to end up in other foods that substitute rice like rice flour, noodles and bread. We tend to eat the hidden forms which still get digested into sugar. 
 
Rice, even when cooked, is difficult to digest. 
Can't eat raw rice? Try eating rice half cooked. Contrary to popular belief, rice is very difficult to digest. It is 'heavy stuff'. If you have problems with digestion, try skipping 
rice for a few days. You will be amazed at how the problem will just go away. 

Rice prevents the absorption of several vitamins and minerals. 
Rice when taken in bulk will reduce the absorption of vital nutrients like zinc, iron and the B vitamins. 

Are you a rice addict? Going rice-less may not be easy but you can go rice-less. Eating less rice could be lot easier than you think. Here are some strategies that you can pursue in your quest to eat less rice: 

                                                               Eat less rice-cut your rice by half. 
Barry Sears, author of the Zone Diet, advises 'eating rice like spice'. Instead, increase your fruits and vegetables. Take more lean meats and fish.. You can even take more eggs and nuts. 

Have 'riceless' meals. 
Take no rice or wheat at say, breakfast.. Go for eggs instead. 

Go on 'riceless' days. 
Go 'western' once a week. 

Take no rice and breads for one day every week. 
That can't be too difficult. Appreciate the richness of your food. Go for taste, colours and smells. Make eating a culinary delight. Enjoy your food in the original flavours. 

Avoid the salt shaker or ketchup. 
You will automatically eat less rice. 

Eat your fruit dessert before (Yes! No printing error) your meals.
The fibre rich fruits will 'bulk up' in your stomach. Thus, you will eat less rice and more fruits. 

It's your life. Decide what you want to eat! But eat less rice!

Tips to Prevent & Overcome Migraine

Migraine is a throbbing headache that often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Patients are usually sensitive to light, sounds and even smells. These headaches most often occurs only on one side of your head, sometimes switching to the other side, but can be on both sides of the head at once.
