Dampak Pemboikotan Produk Zionis
Harian bisnis berbahasa Ibrani ‘The Marker’ merilis laporan tentang pengaruh gerakan boikot produk Israel terhadap kinerja perusahaan eksportir di negara Zionis itu. Laporan tersebut berdasarkan polling yang dilakukan lembaga Israel Union Industrialist dengan melibatkan 90 perusahaan Israel dari berbagai sektor, mulai dari perusahaan teknologi tinggi, konstruksi, tekstil dan perusahaan yang memproduksi bahan makanan.
Polling menunjukkan, 21 persen dari para eksportir Israel mengakui secara langsung terkena dampak gerakan boikot produk Israel yang diserukan kembali awal tahun 2009 bersamaan dengan agresi brutal Israel ke Jalur Gaza bulan Januari lalu.
Gerakan boikot ini dilakukan oleh seluruh warga Palestina yang tersebar berbagai pelosok dunia, para aktivis kemanusiaan dan organisasi-organisasi perdamaian yang mengecam kekejaman Israel di Palestina. Mereka menggelar kampanye dan aksi massa untuk menyebarluaskan gerakan boikot produk Israel sebagai bentuk protes atas tindakan sewenang-wenang Israel terhadap rakyat Palestina.
Sebagian kelompok menyerukan boikot seluruh produk Israel, kelompok lainnya hanya terbatas pada boikot produk-produk Israel yang berasal dari pemukiman-pemukiman Yahudi dan perusahaan-perusahaan yang mengambil keuntungan dari penjajahan Israel di tanah Palestina.
Para aktivis melakukan gerakan boikot terhadap Israel, terinspirasi dari gerakan menentang apartheid di Afrika Selatan pada era tahun 1980-an. Mereka mengatakan, ada kesamaan antara sistem apartheid di Afrika Selatan dan kebijakan diskriminatif yang diterapkan Israel di tanah Palestina. Israel misalnya membuat aturan-aturan yang mendiskriminasikan warga Arab Palestina, membuat pos-pos pemeriksaan ilegal di wilayah Palestina, mengusir warga Palestina dari rumah dan tanah-tanah mereka.
“Apartheid diberlakukan dan sudah menguratakar pada rezim kolonial Israel. Rezim ini mendirikan negara hanya untuk orang-orang Yahudi baik secara de jure maupun de facto. Tindakan itu termasuk menerapkan berbagai mekanisme yang digunakan sebagai pembenaran atas praktek-praktek apartheid yang ditandai dengan pemindahan paksa populasi masyarakat setempat, penguasaan wilayah, eksploitasi sumber daya manusia, pelecehan dan pembunuhan massal,” demikian penjelasan organisasi Stop the Wall, organisasi yang menentang pembangunan tembok pemisaha Israel yang dibangun di sepanjang wilayah Tepi Barat.
Sejumlah perusahaan yang diboikot adalah Motorola yang memproduksi alat pendorong roket-roket jenis M80 buatan Israel, Caterpillar yang memproduksi buldoser D9 yang digunakan Israel untuk menghancurkan rumah-rumah warga Palestina, perusahaan Connex dan Alstom yang memenangkan tender pembangunan jalur kereta cepat yang melintasi kawasan-kawasan Palestina di Yerusalem Timur. Untuk membangun jalur kereta itu, Israel juga menggusur rumah-rumah rakyat Palestina tanpa memberikan kompensasi. Perusahaan lainnya yang diboikot adalah Agrexco, perusahaan Israel yang mengekspor buah-buahan dan sayuran dengan menggunakan merk ‘Carmel’. Buah-buahan dan sayur-sayuran itu ditanam petani Israel di tanah-tanah milik warga Palestina di Tepi Barat yang dirampas pemerintah Israel untuk dijadikan pemukiman.
Sementara itu, para petani di Israel mulai merasakan dampak boikot yang dilakukan sejumlah negara di dunia sebagai bentuk protes atas agresi keji militer Israel ke Jalur Gaza. Mereka mengatakan, sejumlah negara dan distributor dari Arab dan Eropa telah membatalkan pesanan hasil-hasil pertanian dari para petani Israel.
“Kami mengekspor buah kesemak dan karena peperangan, sejumlah negara dan distrubutor membatalkan pesanan mereka. Paket-paket buah yang siap ekspor itu kini menumpuk di gudang dan ini menyebabkan kerugian besar buat kami,” kata Giora Almagor, seorang petani buah pada surat kabar Israel Yediot Aharonot.
“Makin lama buah-buah itu menumpuk di gudang, kualitasnya akan makin menurun. Kami juga harus membayar biaya pendingin buah-buah tersebut dan biayanya cukup besar,” sambung Almagor.
Menurutnya, banyak pengapalan buah ke Yordan dibatalkan. Sejumlah negara di Skandinavia juga menyatakan membatalkan pesanan mereka akibat agresi Israel yang masih berlangsung di Jalur Gaza. Direktur Organisasi Petani Buah di Israel, ilan Eshel mengatakan, pembatalan pesanan dari negara-negara Skandinavia antara lain dilakukan importir dari Denmark, Norwegia dan Denmark.
Beberapa perusahaan Inggris juga membatalkan kesepakatan dagang dengan sejumlah perusahaan-perusahaan Israel. “Ada dua atau tiga perusahaan informasi teknologi yang menolak proposal bisnis yang diajukan perusahaan-perusahaan Israel,” kata atase perdagangan Israel di Inggris, Gil Erez.
Sejumlah penulis Inggris juga sudah banyak yang menulis artikel berisi seruan boikot produk Israel sebagai bentuk protes atas agresi Israel ke Jalur Gaza. Di Turki, persatuan kerjasama Turki mengumumkan embargo terhadap semua bentuk pembiyaan dari perusahaan Israel. Di Malaysia, para pengusaha dan pebisnis di sana sudah menyebarkan kampanye boikot produk Israel dan AS.
Petani menyesali peperangan yang dikobarkan pemerintahnya di Gaza. Para petani Israel mengkhawatirkan makin meluasnya gerakan boikot ini. “Bisnis kami berjalan lancar, sampai akhirnya perang ini terjadi. Semuanya menjadi buruk dan suara-suara yang menyerukan boikot produk Israel makin sering terdengar,” keluh Almagor

Raksasa Bisnis Malaysia di Indonesia

Hubungan Indonesia – Malaysia kembali memanas. Apalagi, setelah Menlu Malaysia siap mengeluarkan anjuran (travel advisory) kepada warganya untuk berhati-hati ke Indonesia jika demonstrasi anti Malaysia di Indonesia kian menjadi-jadi.
Pemicu perseteruan ini bermula dari penahanan tiga petugas Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan Indonesia oleh Polisi Laut Malaysia (MPM) di perairan Tanjung Berakit, Bintan pada 13 Agustus 2010. Mereka ditangkap tidak lama setelah menahan tujuh nelayan Malaysia yang diduga kuat masuk wilayah kedaulatan RI secara ilegal.
Aksi penahanan itu berbuntut panjang. Aksi protes merebak. Bahkan, protes di depan Kedubes Malaysia pada Senin lalu berlanjut dengan melempar tinja dan menginjak-injak dan membakar kain yang mirip dengan bendera Malaysia, Jalur Gemilang. Rabu kemarin, protes keras juga berlangsung di Jakarta. Massa dari Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat (Bendera) berunjuk rasa di dua perusahaan besar Malaysia di Jakarta. Kantor perusahaan minyak Malaysia, Petronas di Jalan Sudirman dan kantor Bank CIMB di Jalan Gatot Subroto.
Pada Agustus tahun lalu, hubungan kedua negara juga memanas. Selain dipicu oleh Noordin M Top, gembong teroris asal Malaysia yang menjadi otak sejumlah ledakan bom di Indonesia, menghangatnya hubungan kedua negara juga disebabkan oleh aksi Malaysia yang mengklaim sejumlah warisan budaya milik Indonesia, termasuk Tari Pendet yang benar-benar asal Bali.
Berbeda dengan hubungan politik dan sosial kedua negara yang naik turun, di sektor bisnis jalinan kedua negara sudah sangat jauh. Bahkan, Malaysia sudah cukup jauh melangkah ke Indonesia. Malaysia telah merambah ke berbagai sektor bisnis strategis di Indonesia, mulai dari sektor telekomunikasi, perminyakan, perkebunan, perbankan, penerbangan, otomotif, jalan tol dan berbagai sektor bisnis lainnya.
Nama-nama perusahaan itu antara lain adalah XL Axiata, Petronas, CIMB Niaga, Maybank, Air Asia, Sime Darby, PLUS Express Way, Proton dan lainnya.
Mereka memanfaatkan pasar Indonesia yang sangat besar. Jumlah penduduk 237 juta jiwa merupakan target besar untuk menjaring keuntungan dari negeri ini, ketimbang jumlah penduduk Malaysia yang hanya 27 juta jiwa.
Berikut ini sejumlah profil singkat ekspansi grup bisnis Malaysia di Indonesia :
1. XL Axiata Tbk
XL Axiata yang dikenal dengan XL adalah salah satu operator seluler terbesar ketiga di Indonesia setelah PT Telkomsel dan PT Indosat. Bahkan, dalam bulan Ramadan ini, XL merupakan salah satu operator yang sangat agresif melakukan ekspansi, termasuk menjaring pelanggan baru. Kepemilikan saham XL saat ini mayoritas dipegang oleh raksasa telekomunikasi Malaysia, yakni Axiata Group Berhad (“Axiata Group”) melalui Axiata Investments (Indonesia) Sdn Bhd (dahulu Indocel Holding Sdn Bhd) (66,7%) dan sisanya Emirates Telecommunications Corporation (Etisalat) melalui Etisalat International Indonesia Ltd. (13,3%) serta publik (20%).
2. CIMB Niaga
CIMB Niaga adalah salah satu bank papan atas dan berada di urutan ke lima bank terbesar di Indonesia. CIMB Niaga yang merupakan penggabungan Bank Lippo dan Bank Niaga dikendalikan oleh perbankan asal Malaysia. Pemegang sahamnya adalah CIMB Group Sdn Bhd sebesar 56,1%, Santubong Ventures Sdn Bhd 16,65%, Greatville Pte Ltd 2,58%. Publik memiliki saham sekitar 24 persen.
3. Air Asia
Air Asia adalah salah satu maskapai penerbangan asal Malaysia. Maskapai yang mengklaim sebagai salah satu penerbangan murah ini melakukan ekspansi bisnis ke Indonesia dengan membuka rute-rute penerbangan ke sejumlah jalur gemuk di Indonesia.
4. Petronas
Petronas adalah perusahaan migas raksasa asal Malaysia yang melakukan ekspansi di Indonesia. Petronas bukan hanya ikut melakukan eksplorasi untuk menyedot minyak dan gas Indonesia, tetapi Petronas juga membuka jaringan yang melayani penjualan bahan bakar minyak melalui pembukaan sejumlah pom bensin.
5. Sime Darby
Sime Darby adalah grup bisnis perkebunan besar asal Malaysia hasil merger dari Kumpulan Guthrie, Golden Hope dan Sime Darby. Sebelum merger, Kumpulan Guthrie telah membeli ratusan ribu hektare perkebunan di Sumatra milik Grup Salim setelah diambilalih oleh Badan Penyehatan Perbankan Nasional (BPPN) sebagai bagian dari penyelesaian utang Grup Salim.
6. PT Bank Internasional Indonesia Tbk (BII)
BII adalah salah satu bank papan atas di Indonesia. Bank ini semula milik Grup Sinar Mas, belakangan diambilalih BPPN dan dilepas kepada konsorsium Sorak pada Desember 2003. Pada 30 September 2008, 55,51 persen saham Sorak diambilalih oleh Mayban Offshore Corporate Services (Labuan) Sdn. Bhd, anak perusahaan yang dimiliki sepenuhnya oleh Malayan Banking Berhad (Maybank). Maybank adalah salah satu grup bisnis perbankan besar di Malaysia.

Detox diet

People are now a little more conscious of what they eat, which is what has led to the recent “detoxification hype.” Detoxification is the process by which the toxic qualities of a poison or toxin are reduced by the body. Primarily referred to as a treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction, it can also refer to herbs, diets, and other means to remove toxins from the body. Detoxification or “detox” refers to the action of removing or neutralizing the toxins in your body. It can be done in various ways such as a regular exercise, a spa massage, meditation, yoga and a body scrub. However, the most common and probably the easiest way is the detox diet.

A detox program is primarily recommended for people who are inactive, probably because the foods that they commonly eat are left undigested. However, this program is also for people who are overweight, as well as for those whose livers may be compromised due to over-absorption of additives and preservatives. This is a program which lessens chemicals absorbed in the body by means of eating foods that are organic. It places more emphasis on foods that contain vitamins and antioxidants, which are what you need for your detox diet.

You may ask, “Why detox diet?” “Are there any other ways of cleansing my body?” Many people patronize fast food chains, and if you are one of those people then you probably frequently consume hamburgers, French fries and sodas. Bear in mind that those foods have plenty of fat-soluble chemicals, and too much of these types of additives can be bad for your health. This type of diet can lead to problems with your kidneys or liver, a hormonal imbalance, insufficiency in nutrition and ineffective metabolism. The symptoms of these illnesses are usually pain intolerance, fatigue and poor skin. Begin by cleansing yourself, particularly your body. Given the current lifestyle and environment in which we live, we all need to look after our health. Body detoxification can be as easy as eliminating negative feelings or thoughts by taking a stroll in the park and breathing fresh and clean air, or it can be a rigorous and difficult program to rid our entire digestive system of toxins. Just bear in mind that the most important thing is to cleanse yourself.



If you decide to go on a detox diet, you can regain that smooth and fair skin, your digestion and metabolism will be improved, you will be more focused and you will have a regular bowel movement. In short, you will achieve a healthier state of well-being through this kind of diet. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, a detox diet is not advisable for you, as you and your baby need all the nutrients you can possibly get. However, detox dieting may be beneficial to people who are anemic, have eating disorders, ulcers, are underweight, alcoholic- or drug-dependent, have low immune systems, heart ailments, low blood pressure or cancer. In addition, this diet must be carefully planned with the help of a nutritionist and a doctor. If you have already decided to go on a detox diet, you must understand that you may experience some side effects in the first few days, such as a headache or feeling weak due to changes in food absorption. It would be best if you start the diet on a day when you are at home most of the time. You may also experience diarrhea, because your body is slowly removing the toxins. Make sure to avoid being dehydrated by drinking lots of water.

Do you want to have smooth and clear skin, restore your energy or strengthen your immune system? If your answer is yes, then these are some of the benefits that you can derive from a detoxification plan. To further explain, detoxification simply refers to cleansing of the body and blood by removing impurities in the kidneys, intestines, liver, lungs, skin and lymph glands. The first step is to lessen the toxins in your body. Reduce your alcohol intake, as well as coffee, cigarettes, foods with refined sugar or saturated fats, such as ketchup and soda. These are toxins that hinder the restoration of your health.

Exposure to chemical-based cleaners and some toiletries like toothpaste, facial and body cleansers, shampoos and deodorants should be reduced as well. Those products can be absorbed by our bodies and cannot be fully removed unless detoxification is done. There are numerous ways to detox our bodies. It’s solely up to you to choose a method that suits your lifestyle. One of the most common detox therapies that is used is fasting. Indeed, this is one of the oldest and most natural treatments for the human body. Detox programs can be useful to clear cellular waste, re-energize the body and boost the healing properties of the body. Unsurprisingly, many people have testified to the various benefits of detox programs. Following are some detoxification options:

Juice Fasting
Drinking fresh vegetables and fruits like cranberry, pineapple, apple, cabbage, celery, spinach and carrots is indeed effective in releasing toxins. In addition, these food items contain plenty of enzymes and nutrients to reduce the extremity of the process of cleansing. However, avoid drinking citrus juices. A rapid weight loss is the principal benefit that you will obtain from this method. An estimate of 30-40 lbs. in 30 days can be achieved, as well as the potential to gain self-confidence and feel clean and light. Juice fasting can be done in 1-3 days. If you consider extending a juice fast for a longer period, you would be well advised to consult a physician.

Water Fasting
From the title itself, only water is consumed during this process. Through a water fast, your organs and digestive tract will be at complete rest, thus boosting your energy and giving your body a chance to repair any damaged organs, while at the same time remove the build-up of toxins. Not only that, you will also feel revitalized and motivated to make your day productive.

Gentle Ways to Detoxify Your Body

There are safer and easier ways for detoxification. You may want to try one of the following, or you may alternate between the following option if that suits better.
Diet change: Eat fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains to maintain a healthy diet. Avoid fast foods or packaged foods, as those contain lots of sugars and fats.
Going to a sauna: One way of detoxifying your body is to visit a sauna. This removes build-ups of chemicals in fat cells. Sauna therapy usually goes with exercise, diet and taking nutritious supplements.
Exfoliation of the skin: Like the second method, exfoliating your skin, together with proper diet, exercise and taking vitamins, is a milder way of detoxifying your body. It increases the activity of the lymph system, removes dead skin cells and releases toxins through your skin. Make sure to use a dry skin brush with soft vegetable bristles. Start by brushing your feet gently in a circular motion, working your way up to your chest area. This can be done in 1-2 minutes, prior to taking a shower.
Yoga: If you do breathing exercises such as Yoga, the flow of blood completely oxygenates, thus increasing energy and improving any physical changes you have achieved. Various positions can gently massage your internal organs and through this, toxins can be discharged slowly.
If you are physically fatigued, it means that your body is lacking in energy, and you may also experience body aches. There is no need to suffer from it — a body detoxification is an easy solution. So, do you want to cleanse your body? Following are some tips for a wise, healthy and efficient detoxification:

Start a clean and healthy lifestyle. Eat natural food, drink lots of liquids, mainly water, exercise on a regular basis and avoid junk food, processed food and canned goods – which can be toxic. While doing those things, you might also try a Detox Diet that will cleanse your body and may also provide some relief of body aches, digestive trouble, allergies and other associated concerns.
Eat as many fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, rice and grains as possible if you are on a detox program. At the same time, avoid foods that are high in preservatives and additives such as sugar, caffeine, alcohol, yeast, chocolates, etc.
Organize your detox program. You can start by abstaining from food on weekends. Friday is good day to begin since the weekend will provide you the shift in and out of your program. Also, your detox method should be something that you can maintain. Detoxifying doesn’t necessarily mean starving yourself.
Enjoy nature. Exercise in the open. The refreshing air can work wonders for your lungs and helps with the circulation. It’s nice to go for a walk or run in the morning – especially if you happen to live near a beach or park. Your goal should be to maintain a balance of work and play in your life. Try Pilates or yoga, skip rope or take a walk around your neighborhood. Be active. Make sure that you are always on the go, up and running.
Visit a spa. Take a shower and exfoliate your skin. This can help with detoxification. Exfoliating helps to shed dead skin cells and also improves circulation.
When you are on a detox program, it is important that your bowel movement is regular to lessen the chance of toxins being retained in the body, so it is essential to eat foods rich in fiber. Tea and herbs can also help keep the bowel regular.
They say that a healthy mind is a healthy body, so you should think positive. Eliminate negative thoughts. Smile and have the commitment and determination to your detoxification program.
Detox diets are recommended for a short period of time only. It is suggested that you do this once or twice a year during the months with warmer temperature. It is advised that you consult a nutritionist or a doctor first before start this type of program. In addition, make sure you are fully informed about the detox diet through careful reading and consulting an expert for advice. Nowadays, there are numerous options for processed foods and fast foods — but just about all of them contain vast amounts of preservatives. Our eyes were opened to the need for healthy diet and lifestyles after the controversy of McDonald’s and other fast food restaurants exposure of genetically modified organisms. Remember that the detox system is not just a physical system. You must detox your body and your mind to achieve the fullest effects of the detox system.

HCG injections for weight loss

There are many different hyped methods to use for weight loss, but not all of them work. A lot of weight loss techniques are really just a ploy to profit the company marketing them, and some may work better for some than others. HCG injections for weight loss have been discussed for a while but there’s not a large amount of information to back up how effective and reliable this treatment method for weight loss really is.

The diet behind using HCG injections is one that many people would consider unhealthy but there is still proof that HCG injections can work. In order to understand how the injections work, you will need to know what exactly HCG is.

The HCG Hormone
HCG stands for, “Human Chorionic Gonadotropin”. This is a hormone which is created in everyone’s body and is created in excessive amounts in pregnant women. The hormone mass produces for pregnant women as it assists with increasing the fat stored in the baby so the baby can develop healthily. If you take a pregnancy test, the test is attempting to find HCG contents in your urine.



What Does The HCG Injection Do?
The amount of HCG needed for HCG injections for weight loss is much smaller than the amount that’s naturally produced for a pregnant woman. When HCG is used, it directs your body to use your abnormal fat as energy. This is the fat that is found in fat cells located far inside your body, where you likely can’t burn fat from naturally with just a healthy diet and regular exercise.

If you take HCG injections for weight loss you will also help your metabolic rate so you will ultimately be able to burn fat quicker than you normally would. Since your metabolism has changed so dramatically it is possible to lose upwards of two pounds every day while taking HCG injections. The HCG injections for weight loss are great because they work as an appetite suppressant yet will keep your body in a healthy condition.

The HCG Diet
This is where most people get skeptical. You are only going to be eating 500 calories of food per day while staying on the HCG diet. This is a tremendous decrease from your normal daily calorie intake but it’s still not considered a starvation diet.

Your body will still have enough energy to use each day as it turns stored fat inside deep fat cells into energy. You may notice hunger pangs or cravings infrequently but for the most part they won’t be a major concern.

Side Effects
As with any type of medical treatment, when using HCG injections for weight loss there will still be some side effects to worry about. However, these side effects will vary by gender but there are still some common side effects between both females and males. Those shared side effects include: HIV from sharing needles, nausea, fatigue, hair loss, acne, and sudden mood swings. Some people have also claimed to notice a rash show up shortly after starting their HCG injection treatment.

Side Effects for Females
You’re more likely to get pregnant while using HCG injections then while you’re not using them. Your ovaries are also capable of creating multiple ovum, even though they normally only create a single ova. Once this happens, it’s more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy or have a multiple birth.

Side Effects for Males
The most common side effects for men who use HCG injections for weight loss would be an enlarged prostate and enlarged outlining of the breasts. These things are likely to occur due to the estrogen levels which occur from HCG being in the body.

It’s also important to make sure that you know how to perform the injection properly. If you make a mistake during the HCG injection it could cause serious problems. You can’t guarantee the injection will be made in the correct area if you do it by yourself, so it’s recommended to get a trained professional to do it if possible. If you end up missing the proper injection area it could cause an abscess to form, which is very painful and can lead to the need to amputate if not treated immediately.

Make sure you become informed about how exactly HCG injections for weight loss (and the diet) works and if it’s really right for you before you use it. This may be the answer to being overweight or obese but it’s not for everyone.

As well, even though many people have claimed to have successful results from this treatment, it’s important to understand that there’s not much evidence to back up that it really works and doesn’t have any possible long term side effects.

Low carb meals

If you have been at all involved in the world of weight loss products in the last ten years you are familiar with low carb meals and diets. There are several diets and programs that have taken the world by storm, exciting more people about low carb meals than ever before. While this type of diet is not for everyone, there are some benefits to the low carb lifestyle. Not sure what they are? Simply continue reading for some great information on whether or not this is a type of diet or lifestyle you should consider.

One of the biggest benefits of eating low carb meals is that they will help to balance or stabilize the blood sugar. When you eat a lot of carbs your blood sugar goes up quickly and then falls just as quickly. When you stabilize the blood sugar through the use of low carb meals you are lowering the blood sugar, which will suppress hunger and decrease appetite. The result is that you are less likely to be hit with cravings that have you eating more than you should be, which will often lead to weight gain.

Many people like the low carb meals because they feel satisfied after eating, but they also see a rapid weight loss. When you combine a low carb diet with regular exercise the weight often comes off very rapidly, with people often losing more weight in a week than they had in a month with other programs that did not consider carbs. When you aren’t eating the carbs your body needs to turn to another resource for fuel, so it starts eating the fat stores in your body which leads to major weight loss.



Eating low carb meals can also help to reduce the water retention that you may currently be experiences. The human body is made up of mostly water, but many of us have more water weight than we need to be happy and healthy. When you eat a low carb diet you will not only lose weight and burn fat, you will also lose the excess water that is stored in your body currently.

Individuals who have heart problems or risks of heart disease will often benefit from low carb meals. The reason for this is that low carb meals are generally lower in cholesterol and triglycerides, especially when compared to meals that have even a balanced amount of carbohydrates. Low carb meals eaten in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle and exercise will often help reduce the risks associated with heart disease.

You will find that there are many different programs for you to follow if you would like to. These programs help you create low carb diets that will allow you to lose weight and benefit from low carb meals all the way around. Some of these programs are very intense while others are not so much. You should shop around and see what appeals to you most. Read up on low carb meals and diets before starting so you have all of the information. If you suffer from any chronic conditions you should speak to your doctor before starting a low carb lifestyle or any other drastic lifestyle change.

Low carb meals can be a lot of fun to eat and make. Instead of focusing on no carbs, focus on eating healthy carbs. Instead of indulging in breads and fried potatoes and the like you can eat vegetables that have some carbs, but not all that many. You can focus on eating lean cuts of meat and beautiful vegetables. When you eat this way you’ll get the variety you like, you can season as you like, and you’ll enjoy it all without feeling like you are missing anything. Luckily, there are a lot of great cookbooks out there that will help you continue to eat food that tastes good while possibly doing your body good.

Vegetarian diabetic diet

Trying to find a diet that works best with diabetes may be tricky for those that are not used to watching what they eat. Good news is that for those suffering from Diabetes, there are many things you can do to change your prognosis. It is unfortunate today that so many people are diagnosed with Type II Diabetes when it is truly easy to prevent. Obesity is the main contributor when it comes to having diabetes. A lot of people eat diets full of fats and sugars and they do not get enough exercise. Their blood sugar levels become completely unstable resulting in a diabetes diagnosis. Diabetes is a serious condition that can have very serious side effects and can even result in death. This is why it is so important for people who have diabetes to make a few lifestyle changes and get their diabetes under control. Many people who have diabetes are on medications and have to monitor their eating at all times. This can be frustrating and some may be wondering what some easy steps are that they can take in order to fight their disease.

Studies have shown that people who eat a vegetarian diet have a significantly lower chance in developing diabetes or ever becoming obese. This is because a vegetarian diet does not involve eating any form of meat. Meat is extremely bad for your body since it is full of saturated fats and is very high in calories. By dropping meat out of your diet you can cut your caloric intake significantly and eliminate a great deal of saturated fats from entering your body. It takes your body twice as long to digest meat then it does natural foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, legumes, grains and other complex carbohydrates. These other foods are so nutritious, are lower in calories and contain healthier fats than meat. The other important benefit to eating a diet rich in these foods is the fact that they are much more fibrous. Fiber is a crucial component in eliminating obesity and diabetes. Fiber not only helps one feel full longer but it also pushes food through the digestive tract quicker, which keeps food from sitting in the intestine for long periods of time. Fiber also controls insulin levels and helps lower cholesterol.

For some, switching to a vegetarian diet may seem like a big hurdle. This is why switching over slowly can help tremendously. Start by eliminating meat from one of your meals a day then after a couple days eliminate meat from another meal. By learning to replace some of your old food with newer, healthier options you may be able to make the transition much smoother. Before making the switch you may want to speak to a dietician. A dietician can inform you of foods that may work best for you. As a rule, eating plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits can make a big difference in the way you feel. By substituting just a few vegetarian foods for your old fatty meat ones, you can improve your health drastically.



Knowing what foods to eat can help you stay on the right track. When it comes to replacing your meat, try switching to the vegetarian version of some of your favorite meals. There are so many soy meat replacements that can be found in your local grocery store. You can find vegetarian sausage, bacon, chicken, ground beef, burgers, hot dogs, Italian sausages and many more that can help you make the transition. Most importantly, discuss this diet with your doctor to ensure you are getting the proper vitamin and protein intake. Although changing your diet can be very healthy and beneficial, knowing the right amount of foods to eat is also very important.

Interstitial cystitis diet

The foods that you eat and the diet that you follow play a crucial role in controlling both the symptoms and the severity of interstitial cystitis. Interstitial cystitis is a painful bladder condition that causes the individual to feel like they have to relieve their on a frequent basis. The pain from interstitial cystitis can encompass entire pubic region. Many times the person who has this condition will also have stomach ulcers. Interstitial cystitis is also commonly known as overactive bladder and is caused by an inflammation of the bladder and urinary tract.

More women than men suffer from this condition. Women who have interstitial cystitis should follow a healthy diet to help control this condition. There are certain foods that should avoided when you have an over active bladder, because these foods can irritate the bladder and cause the severity of the symptoms to increase. There are also certain medications that you can take to treat this condition. However, medications can cause various negative side effects and many people would rather try to go on an interstitial cystitis diet to help relieve their condition.

A healthy interstitial cystitis diet is one that will help soothe the inflammation in the urinary tract that can be caused by eating certain foods. If you follow a good interstitial diet and limit these foods you can successfully limit the symptoms that accompany this syndrome.



The proper modification of your diet should limit the inflammatory foods that cause irritation of the bladder and one that focuses on including foods that are soothing to the bladder. Foods that can soothe the bladder include:

Potatoes, rice, pasta, most breads
Certain fresh fruits that are low on the acidic scale like apples, pears, coconut, bananas and peaches, grapes and figs etc.
Certain dairy products like milk, buttermilk, vanilla ice cream, cream etc.
Natural beef, poultry and fish that is not canned or processed in any way.
Beverages that are decaffeinated and acid-free. For example you can have certain herbal teas as well as decaffeinated coffee. Fruit juices can be enjoyed if they are not made from the acidic fruits as well.
Green vegetables, broccoli, artichokes, egg plant and oher vegetables that are alkaline producing.
White chocolate
Many people find that when they eat certain foods they have more trouble with the symptoms of interstitial bladder condition. The severity of the symptoms can increase for people who eat these foods. However, everyone is different and one food may trigger problems for one person and may not bother another person at all. It can take up to a year for some people to pinpoint which foods cause them more trouble with their bladder than others. Certain common foods cause most people who suffer with this syndrome to have increased symptoms. Basically the troubling foods that should be avoided are:

Breads made from rye flour or sourdough bread
Acid producing dairy products like aged cheeses, sour cream, yogurt and chocolate milk.
Acid forming fruits like apricots, avocados, cranberries, oranges, lemons, limes, tangerines and grapefruit.
Acidic forming beverages like, beer, liquors, coffee, tea, cranberry juice, orange juice, lemonade and all carbonated sodas.
Condiments and seasonings like mayonnaise, miso, soy sauce, salad dressings and vinegar.
Acid forming meats that contain nitrates like ham, bacon, corned beef, smoked meats and processed luncheon meats, hot dogs, sausages, pepperoni, salami and chili beans.
Fish that is canned, smoked or processed
Artificial sweeteners, monosodium glutamate, citric acid, benzol alcohol and other preservatives.
Vegetables like onions, tomatoes, lima beans and fava beans, chili peppers, corn, lintels and olives.
Chocolate

Insulin resistance diet

An insulin resistance diet is a diet that typically requires a low consumption of carbohydrates and a moderate consumption of proteins and fats. These are the main macros/nutrients that are important to focus on when creating a diet for insulin resistance. This type of diet is used as a treatment method for those with insulin resistance syndrome (also known as metabolic syndrome). Overall it is a great long term treatment option for people suffering from insulin resistance.

Usually the most harmful foods that you could have in this type of diet would be refined foods and obviously sweetened food would definitely be a bad idea. An insulin resistance diet does not require any supplements but it would be recommended to add a multi vitamin and mineral supplement to your diet.

Treating Insulin Resistance
It will take your body roughly two or three months to completely return to a typical insulin sensitivity level. The amount of time that this takes could be a lot longer if you have a much more severe case of insulin resistance or you are obese. Even though the end results will take a while to show most people notice a great chance early in the diet as well.



Once you return to a typical insulin sensitivity level it is possible to go on a maintenance diet. There are a variety of things that should happen in the meantime before you have reached this condition though. You will need to make some of the following improvements to be conditioned for an insulin resistance maintenance diet: weight loss, increase in energy, get rid of cravings for carbohydrate rich foods, and reach a healthy blood perssure level. There are other ways as well to gauge how you are progressing but that list will give you a good idea.

Insulin Resistance Diet Benefits
There are many benefits to going on this type of diet. It is pretty much required that you go on this type of diet if you have insulin resistance and want to improve your health. Once you start the diet and follow it as instructed you will lose cravings for various foods and the feeling of being hungry before each meal throughout the day. If you do happen to feel hungry throughout the day then it may mean that you need to add vegetables (non-starchy), fats, or proteins to your diet.

If you follow the insulin resistance diet as instructed the results will definitely show. There are quite a few things that you will have to avoid (such as saturated fats and unhealthy carbohydrates) but if you do then you will have great results. The most noteworthy benefit of this diet is definitely that it can bring your blood pressure to a normal level but there are still many other reasons why it is beneficial, such as using it for weight loss.

What To Avoid
You will want to do more research on the diet so you fully understand it before going on it. There are quite a few different things that should be avoided for optimal results. For example, carbohydrates can be very risky and you need to make sure you are only eating healthy carbohydrates and in the proper amount as well.

Carbs – there are many unhealthy carbohydrates. These are often referred to as “simple” carbohydrates. You will want to avoid these at all costs. Some examples of high carbohydrate foods you should avoid are potatoes, ice cream, honey, cookies, bread, crackers, popcorn, pasta, and pastries. However do not label all carbohydrates as bad as complex carbohydrates are actually an important part of your diet.

Proteins – this is another important part of your diet but you want to make sure you are getting all the protein from a healthy source. Protein is usually provided by meat or fish and while most of these protein sources are healthy there are still some to avoid. Make sure you go for lean meat and ideally you should be eating wild fish, wild game.

Chicken and turkey are two great examples of healthy meat that is full of proteins. Probably one of the strongest protein sources from fish would be tuna, and it is definitely a good food when trying to lose weight. You can also use eggs and nuts to get protein but make sure you do so in moderation.

Fats – you are going to need to have a moderate amount of fat in your diet. You definitely want to avoid a low fat diet as it does not work well with a low carbohydrate diet. The insulin resistance diet focuses on having a moderate amount of fats and a low amount of carbohydrates.

You should try to get your fats from foods with healthy oils. Monounsaturated oils such as olive oil and canola oil are two great examples of fat sources. You could also get your fat from polyunsaturated oils (which also have a lot of omega 3) such as flax oil and fish oils. Alternatively, some saturated fats can be fine if they come from healthy sources such as coconut oil or avocado oil.

Follow the information provided in this article and find a list of healthy foods for an insulin resistance diet and just stay committed. The results will definitely show after a short period of time and within a few months you could be much healthier and a big step towards treating your insulin resistance.

Gout diet

Your body can do some weird things. Gout is a great example of some of the amazing, and painful capabilities your system has. Gout is caused by an excess of uric acid within the body. This uric acid results in the development of small crystals that find a resting place within your joints. Since these crystals don’t belong in your joints, and because they are irritants, they cause a painful inflammation that can make moving and walking difficult and painful. Gout can attack anyone but is most often found in men—and not necessarily older men. It can attack males as early as right after they hit puberty. In women, gout doesn’t usually attack until the woman has gone through menopause.

One of the most important things to learn about gout is how to avoid it. Uric acid is found in foods, so it is most important to find out what foods put you at a higher risk to suffer from an excess of this crystal causing acid. In March of 2004, a study by Dr. Hyon K. Choi appeared in The New England Journal of Medicine that found that men who ate large amounts of meat and seafood were more likely to develop gout. Now, there was no guarantee that more meat for everyone equaled definite gout, the study simply showed that more meat made the men 40 percent more likely to get gout and seafood in high amounts made them 50 percent more likely to suffer from gout.

The study also found that the consumption of low fat dairy products actually decreased the risk of gout in the men in the study—even if they were in the group that consumed more meat and seafood. Interestingly, the study linked the foods that can cause cardiovascular disease to those that could cause gout. If you are looking for an official gout diet, there really isn’t one. But using the results of Dr. Choi’s study you can cobble together an eating plan that helps you to avoid gout.



Gout Diet—Foods to Eat
While purine seems to be the enemy of gout sufferers everywhere, you don’t have to avoid every food that contains it. Here are some foods that are high in uric acid producing purine but that, according to Dr. Choi’s study, you can eat without worrying about getting gout:

Beans (legumes and fiber rich beans)
Mushrooms
Peas
Spinach
Cauliflower
Low fat dairy products should also be a big part of your diet because it helps combat the effects of purine rich foods in your system.

Gout Diet—Foods to Avoid
It seems that Dr. Choi found that it is mostly purine rich meats and seafoods that actually cause gout, rather than just any food with high levels of purine. These purine rich foods should be avoided in order to reduce your risk of gout:

Mussels
Sardines
Herring
Heart
Yeast
Sweetbreads
Anchovies
Veal
Bacon
Liver
Salmon
Turkey
If you find you are suffering from pains in your joints, it is important that you see your primary care physician. He or she can prescribe medication to help you reduce or eradicate the symptoms of gout so that you can go back to living your normal active and pain free life. The medications that are out today are so effective, they can completely reduce your need to worry about what foods to avoid. Unfortunately, some people find that they are not able to physically tolerate gout medication. For those gout sufferers, it is necessary to constantly watch the foods you eat.

Candida diet

Candida albicans is a yeast that lives in either the digestive tract or the vagina. People that have this condition will need to maintain safe candida levels and part of doing so requires going on the candida diet. If you do not take proper precautions the yeast could develop to be much more severe so it is important to plan ahead of time.

Various things could affect the condition such as pregnancy, diabetes, food allergies, and diets containing a lot of sugar. With a candida diet you will want to avoid foods with a lot of sugar as they can make the yeast grow at a quicker rate. Your carbohydrates consumed each day will also need to be kept relatively low (likely under 60 grams each day) but it will vary by person.

A candida diet is not necessarily a low carbohydrate diet but it does require a lot of low carbohydrate foods such as chicken, turkey, fish, vegetables, and a few different kinds of nuts. You want to make sure that you are not eating anything that will help promote the growth of the yeast at all. Therefore it would be rather obvious that you should stay far away from foods with any yeast contents (bread, cheese, mushrooms, beer, etc).



How Long Does The Diet Last?
There is no specific amount of time that you will be required to go on the candida diet. The amount of time that you will have to stay on the diet will depend mostly on the symptoms of the yeast. When the symptoms start to go away or become less noticeable then you may be close to coming off the diet. If the symptoms stay the same or worsen then it either means that you must remain on the diet for a while longer or you are not following the diet as instructed.

Most people that have success with the candida diet have stated that it has taken at least a month for the results to start to show. For some people it may even take a couple of months for any results to show though as it is a person by person condition. After you have some positive results though you can start to get off the diet. When returning to a normal diet you will need to go through a slow introduction phase so you can change to the new diet in a healthy manner.

What To Avoid When On The Candida Diet
As we already know by now, there are a lot of foods that you should avoid. There are also some foods that can be consumed in moderation but you will want to limit the amount of consumption of those foods. Here are a few examples of foods that you should try to stay away from: fruit, bread, pastries, candy, vinegar, mushrooms, milk, butter, and other dairy products.

There are many other foods that should be avoided or limited so find a full list to make sure you do not make any mistakes when planning the candida diet for yourself. Basically the most important stuff to avoid would be foods with sugar or yeast as ingredients but there are still some other types of foods that you should stay away from.

Also remember that your diet should not have too many carbohydrates. Even though our body needs carbohydrates for energy, too many is not necessarily a good thing. You may also want to try to get more complex carbohydrates in your diet as they are much healthier for you. If you follow the tips provided in this article there should be no complications with creating an effective candida diet.

Lemonade diet

The Lemonade Diet is the basis of the Master Cleanse fasting system, and it has become very popular in Hollywood. It was created by Stanley Burroughs, a now deceased naturopath. He created it to assist people in fasting and ridding their body of toxins.

In addition to the toxins released and removed by the Lemonade Diet, Burroughs also found that his diet could remove hardened materials that had deposited themselves in joints, it made the bloodstreams healthier of those who went on the diet, it helped them maintain normal blood pressure and helped them to lose weight. As with any other fast, it also cleanses the kidneys and digestive system and purifies glands.

The Lemonade Diet is a ten to forty day diet. During the diet you drink and eat nothing but a concoction of lemonade spiked with maple syrup and cayenne pepper. There is no sugar in the recipe (other than the sugars in the maple syrup) and the lemon juice in the recipe can be replaced by lime juice. Some people do experience constipation while on the diet, so there is a tea with herbal laxatives recommended within the diet that contains no calories and can help relieve the bowels.



According to the diet’s website, users will lose up to two pounds per day without any harmful side effects. Other media outlets state that some who have followed the diet have experienced side effects such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting and fainting. The proponents of the diet attribute these symptoms to the toxins that have been released by the kidneys and glands and that are now in the blood stream, waiting to be flushed out.

Dieters are encouraged to drink water consistently while on the diet, but no food or drink other than the tea and lemonade can be taken. Some who’ve tried the cleanse mention that it can cause halitosis. The website does not mention whether or not sugar free gum is acceptable.

Once you have been on the diet, feel cleansed and have lost some weight, there is a process to returning back to normal food. The diet is thought to break your addictions to sugar and fast food, so it is suggested you keep your diet wholesome even after you’ve transitioned back to regular foods.

Your first and second day off the diet, you will be restricted to drinking several 8 ounce glasses of orange juice. The third day off of the diet and you will be allowed to eat some raw fruits and veggies along with the 8 ounces of orange juice. Once you have passed your third day off the diet, you are allowed to eat normally but you are encouraged to eat a diet consisting of fruits, seeds and nuts for the remainder of your days.

There is no scientific evidence that the diet works, and there is no history of any clinical studies. The Food and Drug Administration has not released any information regarding the Lemonade Diet. The diet’s intention is to cleanse your body, and it markets its weight loss powers as a side benefit. Unless you change your eating habits permanently after you stop the Lemonade Diet, chances are you will gain the weight back in no time.

Curious about the recipe? Here it is:

2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) of fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice (approximately 1/2 lemon). Do not use bottled lemon or lime juice as it may contain sugars or other additives.
2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) of organic Grade B maple syrup,.
1/10 Teaspoon of cayenne pepper (hot red pepper).
1 Cup (8 fluid ounces) of purified or spring water.
