I’ve always wondered how those skinny celebrities manage to keep their weight, when all we see is them boozing and partying in the weekends or even during the week.

Apparently the new celebrity fashion diet is alcoorexia, also known as drunkorexia.

We often talk about great celebrity diets, but this is one that no one should follow.

Dietitians say that it could be one of the worst diets.

Unfortunately many female celebs use it to stay in shape, and drink a huge amount of alcohol in the same time.

According to a survey completed at University of Missouri-Columbia, many students use this form of dieting as well to prevent weight gain (more…)

Regular consumption of foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish, chicken, salad dressing and nuts can lower the risk of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

The omega-3 fatty acid has the role of lowering blood levels of a protein which is held responsible for causing this dreadful brain disease.

These findings pertain to a recent study published in the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

In order to conduct the study, approximately 1200 people older than 65 and free of dementia were asked to provide information about their diet (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…)

Leggings are very fashionable nowadays.

I usually prefer wearing such clothing items during winter, as they are really comfortable and keep the cold away.

They also seem to keep my leg muscles firm.

And, if I eat a little bit too much, my belly and other unwanted fat around my waist seems to be elegantly concealed.

However, I’m having second thoughts on whether I should wear leggings this next fall and winter.

Sammy Margo, a physiotherapist based in London, claims that leggings do look good and help you stay in tune with fashion trends, but they might be (more…)

I’m always on the look for new diet strategies, snack ideas or tricks on how to improve my eating habits.

Being always fit and slim is tough and who knows that better than celebrities who are always in the spotlight?

I’ve recently discovered that more and more celebs use different tricks to tame their hunger or cravings:

• they wash their teeth before eating,
• they drink a glass of water before each meal and

Are you picky about what you choose to eat?

I used to be, a very long time ago.

However, that probably does not count, because all children are picky.

In the mean time, I achieved the performance of being able to eat almost anything, depending on what’s available.

But, if you are still very hard to please when it comes to food, although you’re an adult, then you should know that you might be actually suffering from a certain disorder.

It is called “selective eating disorder” and it manifests as being (more…)

If you survived this Easter’s meat attack, then you’ll probably be delighted to find out a new green solution to keep you fit!

Have you ever though about the washed up on shore-seaweed as being as good as the stuff that you harvest?

Researchers at Unilever have come up with a new way to kill the hunger sensation, which involves seaweed and a lot of motivation to taste it.

So, what they basically did was to mix a fiber obtained from brown greasy seaweed which is fancy called ‘alginate’ into regular diet (more…)

What I’m going to write to you about today is something I definitely never heard about before.

I mean, I thought it possible, I just never actually read or heard about real people experiencing “supertasting”.

What is that all about?

It’s quite simple: there are certain people whose taste buds are extremely well developed. Consequently, they experience sweetness, sourness or (more…)

I don’t have to ask, I’m sure many of you have complained more than once about what the pc or laptop does to you – back pain, neck pain or some other inconvenient.

But, apart from the before mentioned devices, there are other gadgets which cause all kinds of issues.

Don’t think you can get away if you don’t actually own a Blackberry. It’s just a generic name for the stress you’re putting on your thumb when (more…)

When we think about the causes of weight gain, we usually think that food is the main culprit for our extra pounds.

That and the fact that we don’t work out as much as we should.

However, some recently published studies show that other factors influence our weight as well as eating too much or not exercising.

The Obesity Reviews published an article referring to the link between our body weight and the temperature in our homes during winter.

Yes, that’s right, there is a link between these two! I know it’s weird (more…)
