The post 15 Summer Dessert Recipes for a Guilt-Free Cooldown appeared first on The Leaf.

from The Leaf https://leaf.nutrisystem.com/summer-dessert-healthy-recipes-to-try/

When summer swelter hits its peak, we all want to avoid heating up the kitchen. Going out to eat or bringing food in can be a cool choice at this time of year, even when you are trying to shed excess pounds. Just keep in mind all that you have learned from Nutrisystem about portion size. (Bookmark our handy Grocery Guide > so you can quickly check.) And always search for the healthiest foods to order.

Here are a few hints to help you choose the healthiest foods to order :

1. Grilled Chicken

White meat chicken is a PowerFuel that’s high in protein and healthy fats. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), you get 70 calories and 1.5 grams of fat in a 2-ounce serving of grilled chicken breast. Stay away from breaded fried chicken breast, which has a whopping 266 calories and 16 grams of fat in a similar size serving.

2. Sirloin Steak

Meat lovers can enjoy beef when eating out, but should order lean cuts, such as sirloin steak. Being mindful of portion size is especially important with beef—in restaurants steaks typically are at least 6 ounces, which is the equivalent of three servings. Pick beef dishes that are not served with glazes, which often are high in fat, sugar and calories.

3. Raw or Steamed Seafood

Shellfish, including crabs, shrimp and lobster, along with clams, mussels and oysters, turn any summer meal into a beach party. Better yet, they are an excellent choice when you’re trying to lose weight, too. Shellfish are PowerFuels, high in protein and low in saturated fats. Plus, they treat you to a dose of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Be sure to order raw or steamed options and steer clear of fried or sautéed items. Also pass on dipping seafood into melted butter or creamy sauces, which are high in fat and calories. Instead add extra flavor with a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce—both Free Foods in your Nutrisystem plan.

4. Fresh Fish

“Catch of the day” is a summertime favorite, and it’s often among the healthiest foods to order in any season. Salmon (wild-caught or farmed), tuna, cod, flounder and other kinds of fish are PowerFuels that fill you up with protein, but are low in saturated fats and calories. Go with grilled, broiled, or poached fish, which won’t have added fats or other calories. Your best picks are dishes seasoned with herbs and spices and not coated with calorie-laden sauces or glazes.

5. Salads

Warm weather brings the peak of fresh produce season, a perfect time to order salads that are filling enough to be a meal. Add a PowerFuel, such chicken breast, tuna or chickpeas, along with the greens and other raw vegetables, to make a more satisfying salad. For dressing, go with balsamic or other vinegars and stay away from blue cheese, ranch or any other creamy type of topping.

6. Burrito Bowls

When the whole gang is craving Southwest flavors, a burrito bowl is the healthiest food for you to order. At a popular takeout chain, a packed burrito bowl can clock in close to 700 calories. No matter what you get in your bowl, pass on high-fat additions such as sour cream and queso. Ask for second helping of raw or grilled vegetables instead.

7. Pizza

The rules of thumb for ordering healthy pizza are simple: Thinner crust has fewer calories and carbohydrates than thick crust; minimize the cheese; load up on veggies; beware of deep dish and stuffed crust options, which often have more excessive calories and saturated fats. Do you like meat on your pie? Consider Canadian bacon, which has 63 calories and 1.5 g of fat in 2 slices (3 ounces), according to the USDA. The same amount of pepperoni has an astounding 428 calories and 40 g of fat.

8. Lettuce Wraps

At a burger chain restaurant, a brioche bun can add an abundant amount of extra calories and carbohydrates to your choice of patty. Get it wrapped in lettuce instead, which comes with just 15 calories and 3 grams of carbohydrates. Better yet, order a plant-based patty instead of beef and you can save more than half of the calories (320 vs. 800) and cut the fat content from 17 g to 2.5 g.  Use as much mustard as you want atop your burger, but watch your servings of ketchup and mayo.

9. Chilled Soup

We usually think of soup as cold-weather food, but summertime menus often offer flavorful and cool choices such as gazpacho, cucumber-yogurt, potato-leek and even fruit-based soups. They can fill you up and help you get a serving or two of non-starchy vegetables. Just watch for those made with fat-laden crème fraiche rather than low- or nonfat yogurt.

Whether you’re at a backyard barbecues, a ballgame, on the beach or basking in the sun, a big part of summer fun is the food: Favorites you’ve had since school days that signal the season of sunshine is here, and you’re enjoying it. If you’re on a weight loss program, some of those perfect-for-summer foods can actually help you on your journey. So exactly which are the summer slim-down foods that help you lose weight?

These six options are more than just delicious summer favorites—thanks to the right combinations of nutrients, they’re also foods that help you lose weight :

1. Cool cucumber, local tomatoes and slices of watermelon

What do these foods have in common? Water. Thanks to their high water content, all three of these summer favorites don’t just cool you down, but they’re low in calorie density—which, according to Science Daily. means you can eat a lot of volume without eating a lot of calories. When scientists had obese women in a study add more water-rich foods to their diet plans, they lose 30 percent more weight during the first six months of dieting than those who didn’t focus on adding water-rich foods.

If you’re a watermelon lover, keep track of your portions: Because it’s high on the glycemic index, one cup of the luscious fruit counts as one SmartCarb on Nutrisystem program. Tomatoes and cucumbers, though, are unlimited foods, and count towards your four daily servings of non-starchy vegetables. Pile them on your plate next to your backyard burger or in a fresh, chilly summer salad to help you lose weight.

2. Cool, creamy smoothies and frozen Greek yogurt treats

Greek yogurt has 17 grams of belly-filling, hunger-fighting protein in every 100 calories, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). And it’s also got calcium, which can help more of your weight loss come from fat.

Combine this thicker, creamier yogurt with berries for a cool parfait, or mix them in and freeze in popsicle molds for a fat-fighting fro-yo dessert. Smoothie lover? Double up on the weight loss power of Greek yogurt: Mix in leafy greens with your favorite fruit, Greek yogurt and ice for bonus nutrients and fiber to make your smoothie more filling. The sweetness of the fruit will help mask the flavor of the spinach or other leafy greens, getting you closer to your four daily servings of non-starchy vegetables.

3. Summer berries

Berries are sweeter (and cheaper!) in the summer, and they’re a top choice on our list of foods that help you lose weight. Those fresh little red, blue and black gems are low on the glycemic index, so they won’t spike your blood sugar. That’s thanks to their fiber content: One cup of raspberries, for instance has nine grams of this filling nutrient, meaning the serving can help you feel fuller for longer. That fiber can also help you lose weight around your middle: According to one study published in Science Daily, for every 10 grams of fiber you eat per day, you could have as much as four percent less fat around your belly.

Blueberries may be especially helpful at targeting belly fat. In one 2009 study on rats, the rodents who were given blueberries as part of their weight loss diet lost more belly fat than those losing weight on a berry-free nutrition plan.

4. Tall glasses of iced green tea

Green tea never seems to stop having new benefits: According to nature.com, it’s been shown in studies to help reduce cancer risk, diabetes risk, and even help participants lose weight. In one specific study from the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, obese participants who drank four cups of green tea per day lost significantly more weight over eight weeks than those who drank four cups of water.

Try having a cold glass as a pre-lunch or -dinner drink for bonus weight loss benefits. A study conducted (published in Obesity) asked one group of adults aged 55-75 to have a 16-ounce beverage before each meal while on a diet, they lost 44 percent more weight over 12 weeks than another group that was on the same diet, but didn’t drink. It’s that simple: A pre-meal drink can make you feel more full, so you’ll eat less and lose more.

5. Hit the trail for a hike with some healthy fat

If summer means a hike with family or friends, give your trail mix a boost: Make sure it includes almonds. The monounsaturated fat in these nuts has been shown to help dieters lose belly fat, according to Science Daily. Since fat can help you feel full faster than carbohydrates, it can also make your trail mix help you lose weight while you trek.

But even if you don’t have a caloric deficit on your hiking day, including almonds can help you shed fat around your middle. In a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA), of 48 people with elevated “bad” LDL cholesterol, those who ate a daily snack of almonds lost fat in their bellies and legs, even when they didn’t lose weight.

6. Fresh, whole fruit

When you’re looking for foods that help you lose weight, whole foods are always a great choice. When it comes to fruit, the reason is the fiber: Snapping into a medium-sized apple delivers 125 calories, but comes with 4.9 grams of the filling nutrient.

The post 6 Summer Slim-Down Foods That Help You Lose Weight appeared first on The Leaf.

from The Leaf https://leaf.nutrisystem.com/foods-that-help-you-lose-weight/

Drinking alcohol more often, has numerous disadvantages over your health; and the major damage is caused to your liver.

Fatty liver disease occurs when your liver gets filled up with too much fat and it is majorly caused by frequent consumption of alcohol. This may not be a life threatening disease, but your liver faces an enormous amount of problems.

Introduction

Fatty liver disease (FLD) crops up when your liver cells get built up with too much fat. The liver generally has some amount of fat in it; but if the fat is more than 5% then it is known as hepatic steatosis that is fatty liver disease.[1]

The signs and symptoms of fatty liver disease are hardly seen. Sometimes there could be some pain in the upper right side of the abdomen or one may experience tiredness.

With increased pain and symptoms, people with fatty liver disease may develop a series of complications. One may witness liver scarring; it is also known as liver fibrosis.

If the liver fibrosis gets severe, it will lead to more severe complications like cirrhosis. It is clear to say that this may end up in liver cancer and also esophageal varices.

Because of very few visible symptoms of fatty liver disease, many tend to ignore in the initial stages. And this leads to dangerous consequences to your body and especially to the liver functions.

Hence it becomes important to know and understand the entire scenario on this part of the disease.

Types Of Fatty Liver Disease

Fatty Liver Disease may occur in two of the forms:

• Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): It is one of the common chronic diseases among the adults. In this case the liver cells get built up with fat without any regard to the drinking alcohol.

NAFLD is the fat deposition in the liver with hepatocytes that has exceeded 5% and this occurs among individuals with little or no alcohol consumption.

• Alcoholic fatty liver disease: If you are alcoholic, that is if you drink more than two drinks per day, fat gets built up in the liver cells; hence causing alcoholic fatty liver ( For women it is more than one drink per day and for men, it is more than two drinks per day).[2]

Causes Of Fatty Liver Disease

Accumulation of fat in liver occurs in some and it does not in others; this particular difference of occurrences is not really known yet. Also, only in some of the cases, fatty livers develop inflammation and that leads to cirrhosis; the reason for this too is not known yet.

Both Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) may have caused due to the following reasons:

• Overweight or obesity.
• High consumption of alcohol. (For women it is more than one drink per day and for men, it is more than two drinks per day)
• Insulin resistance, in which your cells do not take up sugar in response to the hormone insulin.
• High blood sugar (hyperglycemia), indicating prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
• High levels of fats, particularly triglycerides, in the blood.

Fatty liver occurs when these causes come in combined form. They promote the deposition of fat in the liver cells.

In some people, the fat accumulated in the liver cells acts like a toxin; causes liver inflammation and then NASH. This may lead to a build-up of scar tissue in the liver.[3]

Some of the less common causes of fatty liver include:

• Losing weight in very less time.
• Infections like hepatitis C.
• Some of the drugs and medications like methotrexate.
• Genetic transfers.
• Pregnancy.

Symptoms Of Fatty Liver

The signs and symptoms of fatty liver disease are hardly seen or experienced. But it is true that in the initial stages you may experience pain in the upper right side of abdomen or sometimes even experience tiredness.

There are some common symptoms that one may notice when you develop a fatty liver:

1. Loss of appetite.
2. Fatigue.
3. In later stages, itching skin, icterus.
4. Swelling of the abdomen and legs (edema)
5. Confusion.

When in case of Non-alcoholic fatty Liver Disease (NFLD), the signs and symptoms are generally nil. But there are some rare symptoms, that is:

• Fatigue and drowsiness.
• Constant pain or cramp in the upper right part of the abdomen

Signs and symptoms of another form of fatty liver, that is Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) and also the advanced cases of cirrhosis include:

• Swelling in the abdominal region, called as ascites. This is more of a visible symptom.
• The blood vessel just below your skin’s surface gets enlarged.
• Enlarged spleen.
• Palms tend to go red.
• Your skin, eyes, nails get yellow (jaundice).

Risk Factors

When it comes to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the risks are a lot. There are certain diseases and health conditions that might increase the risks, like:

• Metabolism related syndrome.
• Obesity, particularly when fat is concentrated in the abdominal area.
• Polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS in women.
• Sleep apnea.
• Type 2 diabetes.
• Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).
• Underactive pituitary gland (hypopituitarism).
• High cholesterol or body fat.
• High levels of triglycerides in the blood.

When it comes to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), it occurs mostly in these groups of people:

• Older people.
• People with diabetes.
• People with body fat concentrated in the abdominal region.

It is evidently difficult to differentiate between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and  non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) without further testing.[4]

Complications

One of the main complications of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is cirrhosis; it is that late-stage that scars the liver.

When inflammation occurs during non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, it causes liver damage. In response to this cirrhosis occurs. When the liver tries to halt inflammation, it develops fibrosis that is scarring of the liver. When this severity increases, fibrosis tends to spread to almost all of the liver tissues causing more danger.

If you do not get treated at this stage, cirrhosis can lead to:

• Swelling in the abdominal region, called as ascites. That is by fluid buildup.
• Swelling of veins in your esophagus (esophageal varices), which can rupture and bleed.
• Liver scarring.
• Confusion, drowsiness, and slurred speech (hepatic encephalopathy).
• Liver fibrosis.
• Liver cancer.
• End-stage liver failure, which means the liver has stopped functioning.

Around 5% and 12% of people with NASH tend to reach the stage of cirrhosis.[5]

Diagnosis

In case you must be diagnosed for fatty liver, these are the consideration that will be taken care of:

• Family history.
• History of Alcohol consumption.
• History of long-term intake of some Medications.
• Hepatomegaly on examination.
• Liver enzyme tests like increase in AST, ALT.
• Liver function tests.
• USG.
• CT-scan.
• Biopsy.
• MRI.
• FibroScan.

Prevention

As such is the risk, you also have some effective prevention measures that will help you reduce the risks of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease:

• Let yourself into a healthy diet: A healthy plant-based diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats can build you up to fight greater health problems.

Avoid foods and drinks with large amounts of simple sugars, especially fructose. BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids) help in improving liver health. Natural sources of BCAAs are dairy products, nuts, seeds, tofu, legumes.

MCTS present in coconut oil, palm kernel oil, butter, milk, yogurt, vitamin E supplements protects the liver from steatosis and hence can be added in the diet.

Omega-3 fatty acids are important for the liver and so, fish oil supplements can be given. Nuts, chia seeds, avocadoes, flax seeds are rich sources for omega-3 fatty acids.

• Maintaining a healthy body weight: Obesity is the cause for multiple health issues and so is for fatty liver disease. In case of overweight or obese, try and reduce as much weight as possible until you reach a right BMI.

If you are already in the right weight, then maintain it by healthy eating and regular exercises. Keep your weight in check on a regular basis.

Avoid drastic weight loss regimens. Consult a nutritionist and follow the diet based on your requirements.

• Exercise and Cardio: Always spend a minimum of 30 minutes a day in exercising.  If you have not been exercising for a long time, then make sure to consult a doctor before you start.[6]

• Healthy Lifestyle: 

Alcohol intake: If you have the habit of drinking alcohol, avoid alcohol intake till the liver enzymes reach normal. And in the future, take alcohol in limited quantities.

Sleep: Avoid late night sittings. Sleep on time and good quality sleep of 6 to 8 hrs. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation could be one of the reasons for NAFLD. [7]
