If you're dieting to lose weight, you should not just eat foods that can contribute a high rate of your body weight on the scales, but also beverages. Various beverages that do not we know it could worsen the situation of our diet. Sometimes we do not know and do not understand what you drink can affect your body weight.

Maybe you should start now to be careful in determining the intake of drinks for your body. That’s many drinks that can ruin your diet plan.
Energy drinks

For sports and energy drinks are calorie bombs, such as soda. Energy drinks do have extra nutrients, but you could still get the same vitamins and minerals in low-calorie foods. People who are serious to lose weight should keep his body hydrated by drinking water rather than sports specifically.

Soda

Each time you drank a bottle of soda, you consume hundreds of empty calories. According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the United States, carbonated soft drinks are the largest source of calories in the diet of American society. For some, the move to low-calorie soft drinks (diet soda) is another way, but not proven whether such displacement can reduce body weight. For some people, diet soda can increase the desire to keep eating sweet foods.

Which helps diet:

White water

Replacing carbonated soft drinks with water will cut hundreds of calories per day, and its profits are not limited to that alone. Drink two glasses of water before a big meal can make the stomach feel full more quickly, so no need to eat as much as usual. Additionally, recent research shows that drinking lots of water can be a positive influence for your metabolism.

Black coffee

When you need a boost of caffeine, coffee is a better choice than soda or other energy drinks. Black coffee is a beverage that is free of calories and rich in antioxidants. Another study says that coffee drinkers in sufficient quantities (about 3-4 cups per day) can help your mood and concentration, and lowered risk of type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer.

Green tea

Green tea is the best choice when you are looking for a little caffeine. Not only free of calories, some researchers even say that green tea extract can stimulate the body weight reduction through the action of its phytochemicals. This is an existing substance in plants that can help the body burn calories and shed fat in a while. This advantage only lasted a few hours, so it would be very helpful if you can drink green tea twice per day.

Vegetable juice

Vegetable juices have the same nutritional fruit juice, but with only half the number of calories. Vegetable juices with rich in fiber, and able to withstand hunger.

Drinks that must be considered:

Fruit juice

Fruit juice has the same calories of soda, but fruit juice has more content, not just nutrients. This poses a dilemma. You need vitamins and antioxidants without any added sugar. To be safe, it is advisable to consume juice made from 100 percent fruit. Avoid that has been added sweeteners. See the label for the percentage of the original juice. You also can reduce calories by mixing juice and water.

Smoothies

Glad to order a smoothie at the restaurant? Try to make your own, combine bananas, strawberries and blueberries to make a smoothie. The mixture was composed of vitamins and minerals that are strong enough to help the body fight disease. Homemade smoothie is good enough for your body because you can control the contents of low-fat milk and fresh fruit is what you need. Smoothies that you ordered from the restaurant already contain ice cream, honey or other sweeteners to make the calories they contain the higher.

Low-fat milk

Eating calcium-rich foods good for the body, but the calcium will not help you reduce body weight, as found by the researchers. Several previous studies say that calcium can actually delay the body to burn fat, but little evidence supports this claim. Lack of calcium in the body can actually trigger an increase in production of fat cells. To get the benefits of calcium without consuming extra fat, choose low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese.

However, you are still advised to drink lots of water to maintain fluid balance in the body.

In order to exercise more effective, follow a few tips from personal trainer these Hollywood celebrities.

It is not enough cardio exercise
Ramona Braganza, personal trainer of his clients includes Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, and Kate Beckinsale, said that one of the biggest mistakes women when fitness is only doing cardio exercises. "It causes you to look 'skinny fat', looked thin but not the body shape," he said.

In order to better shape your body, do exercises like squats and lunge strength twice a week (also use a dumbbell). This will form the muscles of a leaner, as well as encourage your metabolism.

No need to lift weights to form the body
That means you do not need to exercise hindered simply because there is no equipment in the fitness center as resistance machines. You can also get the same results using your own body weight as resistance, according to Jackie Warner, trainer from Bravo's Work Out show.

For example, push-ups
Push-ups are one example of endurance exercises using your own body. "Push-ups the right muscles for the central and upper body. This movement forms the chest, back, shoulders, arms and stomach as well, "said Warner.

To do push-ups correctly, put both hands on the floor straight below the shoulder, and stretch your legs behind you. Drag, or lock you into the belly, then hold your body in a straight line from head to heel. Slowly lower your body, elbow bent upward (not sideways), then lift it back. Although you can not do it 10 times, you still get the benefit, you know.

Pause to give quick results
Changing one or two minutes of cardio exercise (whether it's biking, jogging, or aerobics) with your normal speed with one or two minutes with more speed, it will burn fat faster than usual exercise. For even greater results, Braganza suggested exercises with a pause, which combines strength training and cardio. For example, do 10 minutes cardio, then three or four strength training movements such as lunge or bicep curls (bicep curl with a dumbbell front). Repeat two more times, and then you've done your whole body exercise during the first hour.

Energy drinks just too heavy exercise
Unless you practice hard enough, you should not have to consume energy drinks. "I have a Klin could drink a few bottles of energy drinks during the first hours of training," said Teddy Bass, trainer Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, and Christina Applegate. "Finally I said, 'You may have to burn 400 calories with me, but you just drank 500 calories. "

So, if you only practice for one hour's, just drink regular water.

Variations exercise more effective to reduce weight
"Our body is very smart, because it can adapt to a routine exercise in six weeks. So, you need to vary his training, "said Warner. You do not have to do exercise routines that really new to always see the results. The little things like changing the order of training are also quite helpful.

The Picture taken from : http://www.styleonashoestring.com

December 22, is Hari Ibu (Mother's Day). This is the day when all the Indonesian people commemorate the service and devotion unrequited Mothers by anything.

Mothers who person gave birth to us, gives meaning to every breath, to give love to each pulse, it's not enough just by being rewarded with the commemoration of Mother's Day only. Would not be enough even with the best gift any in the world. It feels lonely life without love from my mother.

I ever felt, how unpleasant taken away from my mother, when she had to work away from family when he was assigned to Lombok for 2 years. Unkempt house and we are rarely eating a delicious dish made mothers. Almost every day I miss waiting for the mother came home. Even so, I was still lucky, because almost every day I can communicate by telephone and see her in every month.

I can not imagine the kids who can not meet with his mother. How they are longing to caress the mother. Although given abundant wealth, it still can not replace her mother. And the irony is that makes them unable to meet your mother are do by their father himself.

Selfishness and egoism of parents with their problems are making the kids as a victim in a position to take revenge on facilities either party.


Some cases are a result of public figures to make the mother's divorce had to live separately with her children are Maia Estianti, Krisdayanti, Tamara Bleszinky and Five Vi. I am truly sorry to see the suffering the fate of the relationship between mothers and their children. They not only have to live separately with their children, but also find it difficult to meet and pour out affection as a mother.

Unconsciously by not allowing the mother to see, actually their father who was himself the most good, most right and most worthy of caregivers had broken off the bond between mother and child and that would have plunged his children into the pit of sin because it does not respect a woman who birth as a mother.

If the kids hates their mother because of her mistakes, as a father, they should provide understanding to forgive the mistakes of their mothers, giving sense to continue to respect the mother who had borne in the world, because no one who escaped from all the mistakes. Not even with action decided cord affection between child and mother.

Anything about badness of our mother's behavior, she is still our mother. No body's perfect. No one can deny the destiny that he is the most worthy women in the world, because we gave birth. And as a son and daughter has become our duty to continue to respect and love Mother.

A perfumes scent will greatly differ within its surroundings. Your impression of a scent sprayed in a large heavily scented department store can be different than sprayed in your own home. Differences in temperature and humidity can also play a huge part in the smell of the perfume. However the main differences in the olfactory effect of a perfume is the compounds it contains, which will evaporate at relatively different speeds, this will affect all brands of perfume.

The way a perfume is described by the perfumers is by its fragrance composition. Top note, heart note and base note. This explains the way a scent develops and will be completely different in every perfume.


If you are searching for that perfect perfume, don't overdo it by spraying many, many different perfumes all over you as you nose will go "blind" and you will not be able to tell if you like the fragrance or not.

You should only test about four or five different perfumes at any time; you should spray these on an unperfumed part of your body and as far apart from each other as possible. In addition, a perfume will smell different on the individuals skin, what smells good on one person could smell totally different on yourself, this should be taken into consideration before choosing the right perfume.

Perfume is meant for people to enjoy when they are in close quarters with you, not for the people across the other side of the room. Don't apply too much perfume at any one time as this may make your scent appear too strong and you may not achieve that ideal perfumed fragrance.

Perfumes can be divided into several fragrance categories - floral, spice, citrus, marine or woody for example. And while fragrance is used as a very general term, to be more accurate fragrances can be broken down into five types -

Perfume - this is the strongest and purest form of fragrance. It is made of up to 40% of fragrance oils and therefore is the most expensive - but the scent lasts the longest. True perfume is usually dabbed on rather than sprayed onto the skin.

Eau de parfum - is the most common type of perfume and comprises up to 14% of fragrance oils. Most of the scent is lost after a few hours but about a third will remain until the very next day. It’s better to apply the scent to spots where the skin is warmest, on the wrists and ankles, on the inside of the elbow, on your inner thighs or between your breasts. But not behind your ears as there are too many glands that can alter the way a fragrance smells.

Eau de toilette - is the weakest of the fragrances with up to approximately 3% of fragrance oils and will only last a couple of hours. One way to make the scent last longer is to rub some into the hair by your temples or run some through your hair with your brush.

Eau de cologne - was the most general fragrance in use about 300 years ago but is very rarely made anymore. The modern day equivalent is eau fraiche and all the major perfume houses like Dior and Elizabeth Arden produce them and they act a little like a concentrated eau de toilette.

Imagine being able to sit back, relax and allow your mind to drift off into a dreamy trance of wonderful colours and images, soothing and calming thoughts swirling through your mind. You wake up feeling calm and refreshed only to find that you are down to a beautiful healthy and happy weight. Well I’m sorry, but that’s not quite the reality of the situation, despite what some might claim. However hypnosis can influence your subconscious mind and persuade it to make some permanent changes to your habits, which will have the knock on effect of permanent change to your weight.

When the average person thinks about hypnotherapy, they usually associate it with quitting smoking and weight loss. These seem to be the two main areas that people turn to hypnosis for. Hypnotherapy is also very useful for many other issues as well.

I will explain to you some of the tactics I, as a hypnotherapist, typically employ in order to help patients with their goals for losing weight. This will hopefully help and inspire you with your own weight loss goals.

The very first thing I establish with a patient is a clear and realistic goal as to how much weight they wish to lose. Most people find it useful to have a 6 month plan, as a year can be a daunting time frame. You can always start another plan after you have finished this one if you need to lose a lot of weight. A realistic amount of weight loss might be 24 pounds in a 6 month period, depending on their existing weight. It seems a lot less daunting when you think that this works out at 4 pounds of weight loss per month, around a pound per week.

I then discuss eating habits. Personally I feel it is prudent to focus more on eating habits than exercise, since reducing eating is by far the easiest way to lose weight. Our bodies are incredibly efficient, and can generate a lot of work for only a relatively small amount of calories burnt. Of course increasing exercise helps, but it can cause confusion between goals of losing weight, and increasing fitness, which are not the same thing. Most people know their bad habits when they are honest with themselves, and actually think about their eating habits in some detail. Think for a moment about some of your eating habits which would benefit from change.

One of the most common and destructive habits I regularly find is that people give themselves too large portions of food, and feel they have to finish everything on their plate. This causes them to over eat, and ignore their body telling them that they have eaten enough. This creates further problems as they are effectively training their brain to set its ‘satisfied’ threshold much higher than it should be, meaning they need to eat more in order to feel satisfied.

Whilst in a hypnotic trance, I talk to the patients’ subconscious mind, the part where all their habits and desires are formed. I persuade them to get into the habit of leaving some food on the plate at every meal, even if it is sometimes only a small amount. I then ask the subconscious mind to really listen to the body as to when it has eaten enough, and to eat a little slower in order to help this process. This helps the mind reset back to its default position of how much food it needs before feeling satisfied.

It is surprising how much difference this can make. By allowing the body to tell you how much to eat, instead of being dictated to by the amount of food on the plate, a persons’ weight can start to move down towards its natural level. The simple act of leaving something on your plate at every meal sends a powerful message to yourself that you are in control of how much you eat. Done for every meal, every day for 6 months will make a HUGE difference. It can sometimes be difficult to remember to do this, and to stay motivated, but hypnotherapy can greatly help with this.

Think about it, you don’t want a plate of food to dictate terms to you, do you?! If this sounds like you, make a stance and dictate to the plate of food how much of it you wish to eat. Feel the passion, feel the power - you own that plate of food, not the other way round! Make that stance now!

I may also persuade a patients’ subconscious mind to modify a few more habits, such as eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, and reducing eating high fat convenience meals, mayonnaises etc.

Hypnosis cannot take the weight off you, but it can help you to modify your behaviour, to make permanent changes in order to facilitate permanent weight loss. It cannot unfortunately offer you the miracle where you fall asleep and wake up the next day having lost 24 pounds without any effort or changes. You must make permanent changes to your lifestyle in order to make permanent changes to your weight. You must accept that you need to make changes in order to lose weight. Hypnosis can help you to make these changes and meet your weight loss goals, but it cannot do it for you, and it cannot do it over night!

You do not need to make drastic changes and live a Spartan existence in order to lose weight. In fact I would advise against this as you are likely to quit and revert back to your old eating habits. Simple and relatively painless permanent changes can yield great results over a period of time. It’s more about sustained effort if you want permanent results. Whenever you feel like reverting back to old habits, think about all the wonderful benefits that you will enjoy being a slimmer, more attractive, and healthier you. Think about them for a moment now. What are the benefits of being slimmer? How will your life be enhanced? Learn to love and respect yourself. Act now. You know you’re worth it!

Imagine how you would feel in 6 months time having lost weight. Imagine the satisfaction you will feel knowing that you have achieved this with good honest and sustained effort. Imagine how great you will look. You would probably feel on top of the world! Good luck!

To some people, the idea of having cosmetic surgery seems like a waste of time, money, and too risky to be worth it all. Perhaps those are the "beautiful people" who have no physical flaws and could make millions of dollars just standing in front of a camera posing as models. Most of us are in a different situation.

Perhaps you have lost a lot of unsightly pounds only to discover that you look older and more wrinkled that you did when you were heavier. Having a tummy tuck could make you happier with your new body.

One of the things that results when you lose weight is that gravity seems to take over. Whether your weight loss was from changing your eating habits or from having a baby, the results are the same. Even if you are young and have excellent elasticity, some excess skin needs to be dealt with. In the case of men and women who are somewhat older, that excess skin could possibly cause health problems unless it is removed.


No doubt there are a lot of men and women who have cosmetic surgery because they want to look younger or just more attractive. Although some people may not think it appropriate to have cosmetic surgery just because of vanity, for others this surgery may be extremely important to their self-esteem.

Unfortunately, there are many people of all ages who have been disfigured from burns and the subsequent scarring that remains after their bodies or faces have healed. In these situations, the need for cosmetic surgery is without question. This is also true of people who have been in automobile accidents or injured in some way that has changed their appearance or even the functioning of some area of their bodies or faces.

Breast reduction surgery is not done just for appearance sake. In many cases, young teenage girls and women have been known to develop very serious back and neck problems related to inordinately heavy breasts. There are even men who have suffered from this ailment. Without the option of this type of surgery, these people would live their entire lives in terrible and unnecessary pain.

Obviously, there are women who choose to have breast implants for vanity reasons. With today's modern technology, these women have an option that they did not have in previous generations. Some women have not been blessed with breasts that complement the rest of their frame. Just as embarrassing as it is to have extremely large breasts, being a woman who is totally flat chested is just as difficult to deal with.

Financing cosmetic surgery can be difficult for some people depending on their financial circumstances. In some cases, medical insurance companies may find that the surgery is medically necessary. However, most cosmetic surgery must be paid for entirely by the patient.

Even more important than the financing of cosmetic surgery is making sure that the surgeon is Board Certified and has a reputation for completing these surgeries with the patient healthy and happy with the final result. Most of these surgeons have available before-and-after photos that relate to any particular cosmetic surgery they perform.

Although cosmetic surgery is not something to have done on a whim, there are situations that call for this type of surgical procedure. More than adequate information is available to help a person make an intelligent choice regarding cosmetic surgery. After thorough research and discussion with a trusted physician, an intelligent, well-informed decision can be made regarding the benefits and risks of having cosmetic surgery.
