It’s Valentine’s Day again and we want to spend every minute of this special day with the loved one.

This is only natural considering that people have been celebrating this day for centuries.

However, the tradition of offering Valentine’s Day cards has been around only since the 19’th century.

Most people associate this day with giving the loved one a proof of their love. And, let’s admit it, the proof of love is many times something sweet like a heart shaped piece of chocolate.

In some cases chocolate is great to give us energy, but unfortunately it has too many calories and too much sugar. Well, this year I decided to (more…)

I just heard about one of the newest trends among celebrities who want to lose weight: vitamin B-12 injections.

I’ve never heard about this before and I got intrigued by the way it is supposed to work.

Some of the initial symptoms exhibited by those who lack vitamin B 12 may range from fatigue, depression, anxiety and a general lack of energy.

Most fad diets trigger almost the same symptoms, which is why (more…)

In a previous article we’ve mentioned the possible side effects of both prescription diet pills and over the counter pills.

Most herbal weight loss supplements producers claim that their products are completely safe simply because they are entirely natural.

Unfortunately, not all herbals are safe for our health as there are many plants that if consumed even in the smallest quantities can cause serious health problems and even poisoning.

This doesn’t mean that all herbal weight loss supplements are poisonous but some of them can cause allergies and can interact with other types (more…)

Many studies conducted on habitual snorers confirmed the theory that snoring can be caused by the extra pounds.

This is why most doctors recommend their patients to lose weight to get rid of this irritating sound they make while sleeping that can affect both their lives and that of the sleeping partner.

What is snoring after all?

Snoring is the very loud and unpleasant sound made by people when they sleep that is caused by the vibration of the air when it goes in and out (more…)

Moreover, many men admire women’s legs and see in them a sign of femininity.

You know you have some extra pounds that you need to shed off, you know it is not healthy for you to stay at this weight and you know you need to make some changes ASAP!

But how do you get ready for a weight loss diet?

Most people think they don’t have to do anything at all to get ready and that things will come naturally. Well, this is not quite true and it can turn out to be the main reason why the diet failed.

Mental preparation is very important because it is directly related to the motivation issues. And we all know that lack of motivation leads to (more…)

Some people say that choosing the right food and beverages can keep the doctor away.

I don’t think that not taking pills for health conditions is the right approach, but making the right alimentation choices can help people stay healthy for long.

This is true also when it comes to teeth and keeping them healthy and white.

We all know that there are some foods and beverages that have the tendency to stain the teeth and in some cases to destroy their natural enamel. Here are some examples:

• Coffee and red wine. These two are known to leave stains, which (more…)

We know that fad diets are the least healthy choices when it comes to weight loss.

Unfortunately people still choose them and risk serious health problems.

One of the major disadvantages of these diets is the yo-yo effect which makes people gain much more weight than they manage to lose.

In some cases people suffer from sever deficiencies and anemia which leads to failures of the organs in the worst scenarios.

However, the creators of the fad diets attract adepts through some unrealistic promises that desperate people actually believe to be true. Here are just some examples:

1. Lose up to 20 pounds in just one week. This cannot possibly be true. The explanation is actually very simple. Think about how much time you (more…)

I spend many hours at the office and when I get out from work in the evening I feel so tired that I don’t feel like going to the gym and work out for an hour.

Sounds familiar?

This is the story of many of us and it is the perfect excuse not to work out at all.

Add to that the fact that the weekend is so short to spend it not sleeping or going out with friends and you get the lazy dieter who keeps complaining about the extra pounds.

We’ve talked about some healthy office lunch options and some very interesting ways to lose weight even when we are at work, but there (more…)

I find it difficult to go to parties when I am on a diet.

Not that I don’t like them, because I love parties, but the temptations are high on these occasions.

We’ve already talked about how to avoid eating high calorie foods when we go out, but what can we do when we cannot choose the menu?

I am going to share with you some tricks that I find very helpful and that worked in my case. Maybe these can be of help for you too.

1. Choose to attend the social event for the fun and not for the food.

I know this is difficult to do, but if you spend your time socializing (more…)
