‘Eat right for your type‘ is the motto of this diet, created by Dr. Peter D’Adamo.

I must say I’ve always been quite skeptical about this diet but after doing a little bit of research I changed my mind at least partially.

Although he was criticized by many doctors and nutritionists because he doesn’t have enough scientific support to prove his theory, I must say that I have been quite intrigued by it and, like many others, I believe that his arguments might be partially realistic.

The key of this diet is the genetic heritage, which is known to influence our overall health, especially the illnesses we might suffer from. Since we (more…)

U.S. News has published not long ago a ranking of the best diets which should be used for losing weight.

The Jenny Craig diet came in second, outranked only by Weight Watchers.

What is this diet all about?

Well, from what I’ve found out, it’s more of a program than a diet, just like Weight Watchers.

More than that, it’s a program with tradition, as it dates back to 1983 in Australia. It focuses on the following:

Eating prepackaged meals

Most of the meals recommended by the Jenny Craig diet are frozen (more…)

Although she never had serious weight issues, being an international supermodel means having to make a lot of sacrifices to maintain a perfectly fit figure.

Miranda has managed for years to keep a slender and fit look; moreover, just two months after giving birth, she returned on the catwalk looking better than ever.

Regardless of all the fame and success, being one of the Victoria’s Secret angels is not easy by far; their bodies might look dreamlike, but in the end they are people just like us, with the difference that they can’t allow themselves to look out of shape (more…)

Lately, more and more couples I know are dieting together: either they do it just to support their other half or they both have weight problems.

One thing I learnt from them is that dieting with your partner can be a very tricky business: it could go very well or the other way around; you could lose weight and make your relationship more solid than ever or you could ruin both your diet and your relationship.

Before taking this step, you might want to take a look at the pros and cons of this diet style:

Pros of dieting as a couple

• If you’re both going to be on a diet, then for sure you won’t have (more…)

I usually avoid eating bread and I indulge myself with a slice or two only from time to time.

I am perfectly aware of the fact that it isn’t wise to eliminate an aliment from my diet for good.

As long as there is moderation any type of food is good.

But how would you like it to have bread on a daily basis, I mean lots of bread and still lose weight?

Well, apparently it is possible.

I came across a new diet called The Bread for Life Diet, created by (more…)

Girls, there’s a new diet in town!

Well, not that new, or at least not for Hollywood stars, who have been using it for a few years now to shed off the extra pounds and look fabulous.

Its creator, Harley Pasternak was the nutrition and fitness adviser for celebrities like Alicia Keys, Kanye West or Jessica Simpson and many others.

Five seems to be the number for this diet. It stands for the number of principles behind this recipe for success:

1. We are allowed to have five meals a day. This is good because (more…)

Many diets include only advice concerning what to eat and what to eliminate from your diet.

Most of them do not even mention working out.

Well, this is not the case for the P90X Nutrition Plan.

Even if it is a nutrition plan, its main focus is on working out.

Duration: this program is designed to last for 13 weeks and has three phases.

Aim: it assists dieters not only in their fight against extra pounds but (more…)

Ever since I was little I was taught by my mother that it’s good to drink a lot of milk in order to have healthy bones.

That’s because calcium was thought to be the king of minerals.

However, lately I’ve come across other studies which suggest that calcium intake may not be all that efficient or good.

1. Greater amounts of calcium do not lessen the risk of fractures

Calcium certainly is vital for bone growth and development. The daily necessary amount of this mineral is of about 700 mg. While (more…)

Just the other day I was googling for something and I came across this diet: The 3 Hour Diet.

I said to myself that it must be another fad diet. Moreover it sounded impossible to achieve.

I mean a three weeks diet, a seven days diet or a five days one seem unrealistic, but a 3 hour diet is impossible. So, I had to check it out and see what it actually meant.

I immediately realized that I was wrong and the three hours didn’t (more…)

Beauty is a concept that is interpreted differently in each country.

The way a person should look like, the ideal weight and shape and how a person should eat to stay fit are things that are strongly connected to peoples’ culture and tradition.

Although we live in a modern world, where technology has developed to such an extent that almost anything is possible, some of the old principles and diet advice are still very much alive.

Either they’re part of a country’s culture or they’re just sayings (more…)
