Yo-Yo Dieting Is Every One?s Problem Including Your Favorite Celebrities
2007-07-20 10:39:00
If you have have even been a victim of yo-yo dieting you will know the pain of constantly going from perfect weight but almost as if by magic you will have a few months later not only gained most of the weight back but you will have actually put on even more weight than you started with. Agh it sounds horrific but it happens to hundreds of men and women from every walk of our life and the biggest reason is they don't lose weight in a controlled and sustainable way. The main reason people Yo-Yo diet is they try losing weight with fad diets which yes will shed the pounds quickly but they then don't make the required lifestyle changes to change how they eat on a day to day basis and they don't change how the exercise and they don't adjust their lifestyle in other ways... Do you get the picture? But don't think this something that only effects you it also has effected many of your favorite celebrities especially vulnerable are movie stars who may look great during a movie shoot...

Detox Diets For Teens Can Lead To Serious Health Problems
2007-07-19 10:21:00
I am not a big fan of detox diets myself as I feel that a detox generally should be done at a retreat or under strict medical supervision. But with the publicity they recieve and the celebrity endorsement I believe that home treatment or home detox is seriously on the increase. One rather worrying trend is that of young teenage girls doing a detox diet which can lead to serious health problems and potential eating disorders in the future. Detox diets like the Lemonade diet, Martha's vineyard diet and to a lesser extent the Mediterranean diet are frequently discussed in womens magazines and on talk shows and this can lead to their implied endorsement in the eyes of those who may not be mature enough to understand the distinctions.

Investigating Claims Of The Chelsea Clinton Weight Loss Patch Scandal
2007-07-11 10:39:00
came across this article on Monday on the Reuters news board and thought it was worthy of inclusion about Chelsea Clinton (former US President Bill Clinton's daughter) using a herbal weight loss patch from being sold in China although you will see it's validity is rather brought into question. According to the manufacturers it claims Chelsea Clinton has lost 26.5lbs in less than a month using this new miracle patch claims which are now be investigated by the Chinese Goverment in Bejjing. What happens is that users are advised to stick the patch where they want to lose the most weight and just wait for the fat to flow out them according to the manufacturer.Don't blame me I am only passing on the information which it must be said does sound a little incredulous.

Can Being Pregnant Lead To Amnesia In Hollywood?
2007-07-11 10:05:00
Can it be that celebrity mother and current wife of Rod Stewart Penny Lancaster is suffering from amnesia after the birth 19 months ago of her son Alex. According to an article in a recent popular UK celebrity magazine 'OK ' she stated that the only form of exercise she did to get back her pre pregnancy figure was to nurse her son and also push him in his stroller but it seems that although this might make interesting reading to all the millions of 'OK' readers who are mainly moms and moms to be it is a different story she told the in her tell all story in a UK Tabloid News paper article a year before in a Daily Mirror exclusive. Where she said and I quote " EXERCISE is crucial if you want to shape up. It also gives you more energy - crucial for new mums. Here's how Penny did it... GENTLY DOES IT "I EXERCISED gently after my six-week check-up. You have to build up slowly so you don't injure yourself."

Why Women Have A Harder Time Quitting Smoking Than Men
2007-07-09 17:57:00
I thought that as a favor to my readers in the UK and the fact that many people are now trying to quit smoking after the ban on smoking in public places and the work places took effect on the first of July in England meaning that all pubs, clubs,shopping malls, and places of work are now smoke free zones. I have been asked by a number of my female readers who are trying to quit smoking and are now worried about putting on weight why they are finding it so hard to quit compared with their quit smoking male friends ... at first I thought htis seemed highly unlikely but then I started to investigate further I think you find this interesting reading? Many of those who smoke have the desire to quit smoking and break the habit that they have formed.

An Apple A Day Keeps The Big Belly Away- Do Apples Work For Weight Loss?
2007-07-02 12:24:00
So can apples really work for weight loss is a question I have been asked a number of times by enthusiastic clients looking for healthy foods they can eat to assist them with their weight loss. I came across this article which I think you will find helpful in answering the question of apple and weight loss. Chances are, you've only tasted a few of the many varieties of apples because supermarkets offer a small selection that typically includes Gala, Cortland, Granny Smith, McIntosh, and the most popular -- Red Delicious. Regardless of the type, apples are a perfect addition to your weight-loss plan for a number of reasons.

Lunch Time Liposuction Does It Work Wonders?
2007-06-29 13:51:00
The number of women having liopsuction is almost at a record high across America which can hardly be shocking as women see this as a quick and easy way to lose those pounds without having to go on a diet. In the United Kingdom the amount of liposuction procedures almost doubled year on year to nearly 4000 and the story is pretty much the same in other countries and especially in the US. But this is set to continue with the latest beauty trend being the 'lunch time lipo' or to give it's correct name laser liposuction which is expected to be taken up by celebrites in the US as has been the case in The UK and across Europe where the procedure began around 3 years ago.

The Reverse Diet Taking The US By Storm
2007-06-27 18:04:00
Are you one of those people who has tried the reverse diet a new diet book released by American weight loss specialist Trica Cunningham and nutritionist Hedi Skolnik which makes interesting reading. Do you diet by dieting during the day and then binge out during the evening when you get home from work or the kids have gone to bed? It won't suprise you I am sure to know that numerous medical studies have established that around 1 in 5 Americans skip breakfast at least once per week and by doing so we are putting our diet plans in jepody. You see what happens by missing breakfast we give our bodies a signal to slow down our metabolism which means you want to eat later.

Eating Habits To Help You Lose Pounds Even When On A Day or Night Out.
2007-06-13 10:44:00
Here are some of my favorite eating habits to help you lose the pounds especially at those times when you are vulnerable and likely to be tempted to eat the wrong kind of foods. By adopting good eating habits you will increase you chances of losing weight without having to sacrifice your diet plan and still enjoying yourself. 1. Morning Coffee time: - If you tempted to pop in to Starbucks or your favorite coffee house you might be tempted to indulge in a pastry or maybe croissant which could be as much as 200- or even 300 calories. The coffee is fine provided you make it a skinny one or an expreso depending on your tastes and accompany it with low fat cereal bar or a piece of fruit. 2. Afternoon Tea or Coffee Break:- Tea or Coffee and cookies are the ideal afternoon snack guaranteed to pile on those pounds. Again the coffee or tea with skinny milk (or tea with a slice of lemon) is fine but instead of a plate cookies replace with a nice juicy apple or pear or even a banana or alter...

Nutritional Facts on Food Labels well who reads them? Good Question but a recent survey has shown that those that do read the food label before buying generally eat healthier and are less likely to have future health problems.

2007-06-01 09:40:00
I came across this article by Alan Deskey and I thought it was worthy of inclusion on the blog since Alan seems to know his stuff on this subject of using hypnotherapy for appetite suppresion. It seems like an idea that could work but have a look at what Alan has to say and then let me know your views on the subject? Research at Tufts-New England Medical Center has provided evidence that all diets are effective when dieters can stick to them. Atkins - low carb; The Zone - low glycemic index; Ornish - low fat; Weight Watchers - low calorie.

Pesto Roasted Salmon - Healthy Cooking Video
2007-05-29 15:10:00
I was looking on you tube and I came across this tasty recipe for Pesto Roast ed Salmon accompanied with a bean salad a very tasty but healthy meal for all the family. You could of course substitute the bean salad for a a green salad or even some seasonal veggies roasted in the oven with the salmon. Both of which would be quite delicious I find salmon is such a great fish to cook with good firm flesh and if you buy wild salmon it is probably on of the most tasty fish at the price.

2007-05-29 11:31:00
Today I want to talk to you about an intresting discovery about the health benefits of cinnamon I made a few months ago which was told to me by my mom.

I tried this recipe Teri yaki Salmon with Stir Fried Bok Choi a few days ago and not only is it protein packed it looks great and tastes delicious and is very low in calories. I get annoyed when people tell me they have to eat foul tasteless food or live on shakes and weight loss nutrition bars to lose weight it simply is not true. The other excuse that I get is I don't have time to cook real food which is why I just grab a burger or a pizza when I get home late from work.

I was suprised to find this article a few days ago about how you can use your Nintendo Wii for weight loss my initial views were this is some kind of spoof but then I realised this was infact for real. With gaming console Nintendo Wii 's initial release came reports of people hurting muscles and experiencing soreness due to the physical exertion caused by playing virtual games such as bowling, tennis and baseball. Apparently, that was just one side of the coin.

Thin Obese -How Skinny People Can Still Be Obese!
2007-05-25 10:08:00
For years we have been told that skinny means health and fat means unhealthy but I was reading an article the other day which might put that theory in a different perspective. Many doctors and nutritionists now believe that the internal fat around vital organs like the heart, liver or pancreas, which cannot be seen, is more dangerous than the obvious external fat that stores underneath the skin.

Pedometers are a cost effective and simple way of getting fit whilst having fun with the kids, your partner or even your girl friends.I strongly recommend a pedometer as a way of walking to fitness and weight loss and if used the right way they can be really good fun. But your probably thinking what is a pedometer right? A pedometer senses your body motion and counts your footsteps one by one. This count is converted into measurable distance by knowing the length of a typical step you use when walking.
