After reading a few things about this new diet I got to the conclusion that people would do just anything to lose weight.

Personally, I would never try this diet as I find it very dangerous and the after-diet effects can be some of the worst.

In fact, the majority of the medical world refuses to endorse it because of its very unusual approach especially for healthy people who just happen to have a few extra pounds.

However, since I believe that making people aware of the dangers of a diet like this one the best thing to do is talk about it and not hide it, I am going to present some of its main features.

The creator of this diet, Dr. Oliver Di Pietro (who by the way doesn’t look so fit, in my opinion), claims that his patients not only lose weight, but (more…)

Ladies, now that we’ve decided on the best workout pants, it’s time to concentrate on the footwear.

Again, for some it might be just a matter of fashion, but in reality it is more about feeling comfortable, avoiding injuries and making the most out of the workout routine.

Did you know there are special shoes for every type of workout? Well, now you do!

Some prefer to work out barefoot as often as they can to make sure they strengthen they ankles and knees, but unless you are doing indoor exercises like yoga and Pilates, this might not be a very good idea. Imagine running on the treadmill barefoot. You will have lots of blisters in no time that will stop you from working out for a long time.

Running is one of the most favorite types of workout in the world, which is why shoes designers came up with special running shoes. Unlike other (more…)

Whenever I work out I know I need to wear the right pants because if I don’t I cannot enjoy the time spent at the gym.

Few people know that if they don’t dress appropriately they might feel like quitting in no time especially in the summer.

And we don’t want that just because a bad fashion choice.

The right fabric

The first issue on the list should be choosing the right fabric. Workout clothes including pants come in many fabrics.

• Synthetic fabric – the newest types of synthetic have the ability to simply take all the sweat from your skin and bring it to surface so that (more…)

I remember when I was little my mother used to look at my fingernails every day.

I thought that she wanted to see if they are clean, but she also had another reason – to see if they look ok or if they indicate health problems.

Believe it or not, it is a scientifically proven fact that unhealthy fingernails can be a sign of deficiencies and even diseases of the major organs.

Here are some of the most common ones:

1. Yellow nail syndrome.

The normal color of the fingernails is the pinkish one. This means that the fingernail is transparent and that the skin behind it is a healthy pink one.

When the fingernail becomes yellowish it can be affected by this (more…)

We all know that fruits are the best food that can provide us with healthy sugar and plenty of energy.

This is the one source of sugar that shouldn’t be avoided even when on a weight loss diet.

I have to admit that I don’t have enough servings of fruits as I should but whenever I have an apple, a mango or any other fruit I don’t know whether I should peel it off or not.

Is the fruit peel good or not for our health?

To find the answer to this question I did a little bit of research and I came across a very interesting study about the mango skin. Most people peel this fruit and throw the skin away. Well, this seems to be a very big (more…)

Out of the many diets available these days I decided to pick one that I particularly agree with in many respects and I am going to present you some of its main features, advantages and downsides.

The Diet Solution Program seems to be a well intentioned approach to helping people with weight problems shed off the extra pounds.

It was designed by Isabel De Los Rios who has an educational background in the nutrition and psychology fields.

In fact she bases her program on these two essential aspects for a successful weight loss process.

One of the most important things that the Diet Solution Program emphasizes is the need to prepare mentally for what is about to come. This doesn’t (more…)

Being on a diet is not only a matter of strong will, but sometimes a matter of time.

Many of us simply do not have the time to be on a diet.

Fast food has indeed revolutionized the modern world, but unfortunately the change was not for the better, but for the worst at least from the health point of view.

Many fast food chains offer the possibility to buy the so called ‘diet meals’ that end up being very high caloric ones. Take for example a salad from a fast food restaurant. It has dressings that have so many calories that you will definitely not lose weight.

Since preparing healthy foods for a weight loss diet takes so much of our precious time, many weight loss diet creators came up with home (more…)

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.

We all know that the B vitamins are essential for our health and well being, and any deficiency in this respect can seriously affect us.

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…)
