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

Summer is the season when we all think about going away on vacation to relax and have fun.

I personally prefer the seaside as a holiday destination, like many of you probably do.

But each year I face the same problem: finding a swimming suit that will hide my tummy or other areas that I’m not very proud of yet. This year I promised myself that I will try to fix this problem, instead of hiding it.

If you’ve made yourself the same promise, here are a few ideas on how to lose weight this summer:

• Have lots of water rich fruits: they’re rich in vitamins and poor in (more…)

Many diets we’ve heard about or even tried ourselves point out that it is better to eat more meals during the same day.

These should comprise of smaller quantities of food – consequently, it would be easier either to lose weight or to stay on the right weight track.

However, I’ve recently read a study which contradicts all of the above.  It appears that there is no scientific evidence claiming that eating more meals per day is actually (more…)

Each time I lose or add a few pounds, my friends immediately notice it by looking at my face.

It might be because in the case of some people, fat is firstly added on the face.

Double chins or chubby cheeks are not at all esthetic and they can really change a person’s facial physiognomy.

Still, weight gain is not always the reason why sometimes our faces look fatter than they normally do.

If you’re experiencing the same problem, here is some advice that might help you fix it:

• Determine the cause: usually, a pound or two shouldn’t make (more…)

I’ve recently come across this weird looking new workout machine: the Arc Trainer from Cybex.

They dubbed it “The Biggest Looser” because the makers claim it can help you shed out the extra pounds twice times faster than on a treadmill and will less impact on your knees.

Biggest Loser Arc Trainer comes bundled with few top notch features:

• Reverse Arc Motion Technology: higher intensity and bigger calorie burn in the shortest time possible;

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…)

Lately, more and more famous celebrity trainers release their own fitness DVD’s.

Most of them promise you to get the best results and make you look like the Hollywood stars they’re training.

But do they all work?

Here are a few things you should consider before spending your money on a fitness DVD:

The DVD’s goal

Most fitness DVD’s claim to help you lose up to 20 or even more pounds in a short time, like a month for example. Theoretically speaking, this could be (more…)

We are all looking for the perfect diet that can help us lose weight, shed off the unwanted extra pounds and help us stay fit after we’ve reached our goals.

There are two ways of dieting from which you can choose: either you go on a diet that tells you exactly what to eat everyday, which I personally find rather extreme and potentially dangerous, or you can create your own diet, by following certain advice or tips from specialists in this matter.

If you choose the second way, then here are a few of the worst and (more…)

The most common excuse that people use for lack of activity is the fact that they don’t have time for that.

Their schedules are too tight, they have to work at home as well, and if you also add kids to raise and a household to keep, than they definitely won’t have too much time left for themselves.

However, one thing we all have in common is the weekend.

I know most people see it as a way of relaxing or having fun. Sport can do all that for you and even more. You can exercise, stay fit and lose weight (more…)

Drinking coffee is probably one of the best ways to start the day for many people.

The majority of regular coffee drinkers, including my friends, say that it’s a way of keeping them alert and functioning for the rest of the day.

I myself am a regular coffee drinker. I can definitely say that coffee it one of the things I could never give up.

I could spend endless hours just drinking and savoring it.

As we know from a previous article, coffee can have numerous health benefits, but also side-effects when it is consumed in excessive amounts. But besides these, I’ve heard many people say that coffee can also help you lose (more…)
