EXERCISE TIPS for losing weight the healthy way

2010-04-06T18:38:00.003+01:00

Exercising in conjunction with a weight loss supplement (i.e. LBD Shape Slimming Capsules are on an offer £24.95 follow this link) and a good diet will guarantee the fastest weight loss for you.

It is never too early or late to make exercise a healthy habit in your life! But it is important to be realistic about what exercise can and cannot do for you.

Most of us hate exercise. Why? Because we don't take it very seriously. As a result, we don't apply our minds to it. We don't make it interesting. We don't put much into it. We don't spend any money on it. We don't get into it. So what happens? We give up and watch TV.

Don't use exercise either to punish yourself for eating or to "earn" the right to eat more. When you do, it sets up a negative thought pattern, which is why so many people say they hate to exercise. Instead, focus on how great you feel, how much better you sleep and how much more energy you have when you exercise. Physical activity is good for you whether you are trying to lose weight or not, so keep it positive and build a lifelong habit.

Some people love going to the gym and they definitely have the results to prove it. For others, the gym just isn’t for them. The reasons are many including, the ongoing expense, not wanting to work out in front of others, or they just don’t like that type of workout. You know what? It doesn’t matter because there is abundance of methods that are as good as or even better for losing weight. The best way is your way and your way should be something that you enjoy. Enjoyment is the key

Exercising everyday is the best way to attain overall good health and fitness. Fitting exercise into your busy day, however, can be a challenge.

Exercise Facts

It is by far the easiest way to improve your health.

Help you live longer, you feel better and happier.

Keep you trim, help you lose fat and preserve muscle

Improve sleep

Improve your bone density and reduce your risk of falls and fractures

Lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, gallstones, and colon cancer

Raise self esteem, improve mood and relaxation

Decrease migraine headaches

Reduce discomfort from arthritis

Reverse the natural muscle loss that occurs with aging.

Acknowledge the following 5 exercise facts

1. Always warm up before exercising and cool down afterwards. This protects your heart and muscles from possible injury.

2. Exercise takes time to achieve results. Just as you did not gain weight overnight, you will not become fit in a week. You need to exercise regularly to see and feel results.

3. Lose weight slowly. Your goal is to lose 1-2 pounds every week for healthy, long term results. Engage in exhilarating workouts rather than exhausting routines that discourage you.

4. Be consistent with your efforts. Even if you decide you only have time to exercise 10 minutes every day, stick with the program. When you put off exercise to work overtime or handle personal issues, you lose fitness ground you worked so hard for.

5. Fitness can be fun. If you don’t like the gym or workout DVDs, go bicycling, hiking, play basketball or take a yoga class. When you enjoy exercise, you will make time to do it.

By avoiding basic exercise errors and remaining consistent in your efforts, you will be more fit and healthy every day.

4 Basic Rules

Get into exercise gradually - step by step, stage by stage. Walk rather than ride, take the steps not the elevator.

Take regular exercise. As little as 10 minutes exercise per day will help you with your weight loss program. Check out your area for possible walks, or a place to exercise, or a swimming pool

Try to make it fit into your lifestyle.

If you feel unfit and/or overweight, visit your doctor for a quick check up.

When it comes to losing weight, most of us follow a simple formula: burning more calories + eating fewer calories = weight loss. Exercise is one way we try to burn more calories, so we hit the gym or pick up a pair of weights thinking we’ll eventually see the number on the scale inch its way down. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work that way, something that often frustrates new exercisers. If you’re doing all this exercise, you should be losing weight, right?

Losing weight without exercising is possible to a certain degree, but realistically, you should only expect to lose a small percentage of weight this way. Reaching your ultimate weight loss goal will be almost impossible without exercising at least some of the time. Also, you should keep in mind that weight loss is NOT exactly the same as fat loss. Some people can manage to lose a lot of weight in a short time but, the loss may be mostly made up of protein, water and some other nutrients, and only a small amount coming from stored body fat. If this is the case, then most of the weight will probably be regained at a later date!

Types of exercise to choose

Walking
Walking is great. No expertise or equipment is required, you can do it anytime and it's free! What's more, provided you do it regularly and for long enough, walking can be just as beneficial as any of the more vigorous activities (like jogging etc).

Walking is one of the easiest ways to lose weight. A brisk stroll for just 45 minutes a day, four times a week, could help you lose two pounds a month. That adds up to 24 pounds over a year!

How to start
Take a 10 minutes walk, twice a day.
Gradually extend yourself
Walk every day
Walk longer
Walk faster
Walk and swing your arms at the same time
Walk up one or two gentle slopes
Walk up steeper slopes

Ideally
Aim to walk briskly (swinging your arms) for 30 minutes, each day. This should include at least one reasonably steep slope. Please note: This may take you several months to achieve, so don't be in a hurry. Remember, exercise is for LIFE!

Swimming
For most people, especially those who are very overweight, swimming is even better than walking.

How to start and then extend yourself
Similar to walking, start by going to the pool twice a week for a gentle 15 minute swim. Gradually increase the length of your swim, and your work rate while in the water. Aim to build up to about 30 minutes a day, or 45 minutes twice a week.

Cycling/cycle-machine, or Jogging
Your aim is the same as for walking or swimming. Start with a short easy routine - 10-15 minutes per day and gradually work up to about 30 minutes a day. Gradually increase your work rate, without ever straining yourself. If jogging, please invest in a good pair of running shoes that offer cushioned support.

Exercise or Aerobics classes
These classes can be great fun. Moreover, many fitness centers offer a variety of classes to suit a variety of fitness levels. Definitely worth checking out!

Exercise at home
If you can't get out, or if the weather is bad, organize an indoor exercise routine for yourself.

An easy exercise & stretch plan

Head and neck circles
Stand up straight. Without moving your shoulders, slowly move your head and neck in a wide circle. Do this half a dozen times.

Arm swings
Stand up straight with legs apart and both arms stretched straight out in front of you, at chest level. Without moving your hips, swing your arms (parallel to the floor) as far to the left as you can - and then to the right. Do this 20 times.

Shoulder circles
Stand up straight with legs apart and arms at your sides. Without moving the rest of your body, circle your left arm backwards. Repeat this with your right arm. Do this half a dozen times.

Forward stretches
Stand up straight. Place hands palms down on the front of your thighs. Keeping your legs straight, lean forwards and slowly slide your hands down your legs, as close to your ankles as possible without straining. Then move them back up your legs and finish by holding your arms straight up above your head. Repeat this half a dozen times.

Side stretches
Stand up straight, with legs apart and arms at your sides. Without moving your legs, slowly bend sideways to the left, allowing your left hand to slide down the side of your leg, as far as possible without straining. Slowly return to the start position and repeat on right hand side. Do this half a dozen times per side.

Leg swings
Stand up straight with your weight on your right leg. Place your right hand on a chair or table, for support. Swing your left leg forwards and backwards, in a pendulum motion. Do this 20 times, then repeat the exercise with your right leg.

Thigh stretches
Sit on the floor with your legs stretched straight out in front of you. Place your hands on the top of your thighs and slide them down your legs as far as possible without straining. Return to the start position and repeat 10 times. Keep the whole exercise as slow and as relaxed as possible.

Leg raising
Lie on your stomach with your legs straight and your arms by your sides. Slowly lift your left leg off the floor, as high as possible without straining. Do it slowly - do not jerk your leg upwards. Then slowly lower your leg. Repeat the exercise with your right leg. Do this half a dozen times, per leg.

Running on the spot
Stand up straight with arms relaxed. Run on the spot for 2 minutes. As you do so, try to keep the whole of your upper body as relaxed as possible. Allow your arms to bounce freely at your sides.

Dance to music
As an alternative to running on the spot, put on your favorite CD and get moving! But avoid jerky movements. Try to move easily without straining your muscles.
Warning!

Never overdo exercise!
• Exercise shouldn't be a temporary fad. It should be something you do for life.
• The secret is: A little and often!
• Use your common sense and avoid trying to do too much, too soon.

Myths and Facts about Exercise

• I don't have time
Only you can decide how to solve this challenge. There may always be an excuse not to exercise, but only you can decide how to make regular exercise part of your healthy lifestyle.

• No pain, no gain
You don't have to do vigorous exercise like running to reduce your risk of heart disease. If you do at least moderate aerobic exercise, you still gain the health benefits by walking briskly at a 3 -- 4 miles per hour pace, or by doing other activities at a vigorous pace, like gardening, vacuuming, dancing.

• If you can't exercise regularly, there's no point.
Not true. Every bit helps. Only twelve weeks of regular exercise improves your fitness measurably on an exercise treadmill, but all exercise improves your blood sugar, blood pressure, and triglycerides levels, even briefly.

• It's too late to start.
You're never too old or too young! Of course, it's important to start modestly and build up gradually, especially if you have history of medical problems. Ask your doctor. But even if you are healthy, starting slowly is best, to figure out what kind of exercise you like and to learn how to avoid pains and injuries.

• Exercise makes women too muscular.
No, women lack enough testosterone to "bulk up."

• Exercise burns a lot of calories.
Exercise does burn calories, but you must be cautious not to assume it burns so many that you can abandon careful eating habits.

• You burn more calories for a long time after you stop exercising.
Moderate aerobic exercise increases calorie burning for up to 40 minutes afterwards and may slightly increase your resting calorie expenditure.

• If you don't lose weight, then exercise is useless.
Not true! See above for all the other benefits.

• Weight gain is inevitable as you age.
No, only if you don't reduce calories and stop exercising! Caloric needs decline as you age, especially after age 30. So if you keep eating the same amount without increasing your energy output, you will gain weight.

• You can't be fit and fat.
Not true. Fitness is a function of heart and lung endurance, body composition (percent body fat), muscular strength, and flexibility. A person can be fit according to some of these measures and less fit according to other measures.

How much exercise should I do? How hard should I exercise?

Your goal should be at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise daily.

During aerobic exercise, a conservative goal is to increase your heart rate per minute to the number calculated as follows: 70% x (220 - your age). For example, if you are 50 years old, your goal heart rate is 70% x (220 - 50) = 125 beats per minute. It's OK to split up the exercise into shorter bursts. And if you can't do it every day, don't give up! Do it when you can.

Little Black Dress - A woman can never have enough!

2010-03-19T11:00:00.010Z

Sexy, Glamorous and Timeless – The biggest little thing in your wardrobe.

The Little Black Dress, that essential piece that hangs in every woman's wardrobe.

Nearly every woman owns a little black dress and it fits any occasion if only we could fit into it.

That simple but instantly recognizable black gown, designed by Hubert de Givenchy is, arguably, the most copied piece of clothing in film history. It's the one piece in a woman's wardrobe that can be pulled out in a flash and turn her from chilled to chic.

A LBD never dates, in all styles and cuts, on the catwalk, in the street and, most importantly, at all those parties and events you have nothing to wear for, the LBD is a wardrobe essential for any woman. From a party to a boardroom it always looks effortless and fabulous. When you've got an all-important date, be it with Mr Right or the banker, the LBD will never let you down, because you can dress it up or down for any occasion and it's the ultimate female weapon!

Think Audrey Hepburn's iconic LBD from Breakfast at Tiffany's, Marilyn Monroe's figure-hugging LBD in Some Like It Hot, the long LBD Princess Diana wore the night she danced with John Travolta at the White House dinner, and Liz Hurley's "less is more" Versace LBD with strategically-placed safety pins.

The LBD is so much more than a dress: it's a twentieth-century classic.

The little black dress fitted for women of all sizes, shapes and forms

Over the decades, the LBD never ran out of style. Instead, it runs with it.

Women are able to dress it up or down depending on occasion. It could be short or shiny, strapless or halter, worn with pearls or with a jacket; the looks created were truly endless. The LBD has managed to survive centuries of trends and fads, only to remain an essential rule of fashion. Even cartoon character such as Betty Boop owned a little black dress!

All the famous innovations in fashion and design cannot outshine the fame of the single Chanel Little Black Dress. Coco Chanel introduced it in a time between the wars, when the bright colours, prints and heavy embroideries dominated the fashion. The long-sleeved black dress, which was initially made for day in wool, and for evening in crepe, satin or velvet, shook up the world of fashion. Later appeared the other variations of a little black dress: short, sleeveless, in pleated black chiffon, in black lace...

The essence of LBD is the cut of the fabric, (high quality fabric is essential as the seams have to be invisible, and sophistication does not allow for flaws in the weave in the fabric used),not forgetting the longevity of the LBD...this number never dates, the fashion designers each season pretend to re-invent the style but we know it is the same simple, elegant cut described as the New Little Black Dress, and we devotees are not fooled! It is not the "New Black" that sashays down the catwalk, it is our own timeless piece simply gracing the body of the next supermodel, and the bonus is that you don't have to have the perfect body. The classic cut bestows sexy, smouldering Venus on every woman. Specifics in dimensions of the dress are intrinsic to the spell-binding effect; too tight and the slink factor is lost; too loose and the moo-moo takes hold. Too short and the balance slides pear-shaped, too long and the retro-chic is lost.

The LBD is always in style, no matter what the season or occasion is, you just can't go wrong, and the great thing about little black dresses, they are never alike. Women have designer Coco Chanel to thank for introducing this simple little black dress in the form of a chemise at a time when dresses were frilly. Coco Chanel taught women how to take something so simple and add to its elegance by accessorizing with the beauty of the little black dress is utterly timeless. Its contemporary appeal, however, grows and grows.

You can now exercise to the Little Black Dress workout or whittle down your waist with the Little Black Dress diet – which will be crucial if you want to squeeze into one of Chanel's severely corseted satin ribbon mini-dresses this winter.

The LBD has never been out of fashion. From simple shifts and dramatic tunics to flirty baby-dolls and vampy bustier dresses, it comes in every style imaginable and, unlike most other truly fashionable pieces of clothing, there is a variation to suit almost everyone.

How many times are we told that a piece of clothing is a "wardrobe essential"? The LBD is one of the few things that truly deserve the accolade; it certainly makes dressing for any kind of party a whole lot less stressful. But its power is greater than this. The simplest – and sometimes even cheapest – LBD will make you look classic, chic and elegant. And unlike all the gorgeously colourful, sparkly little party dresses out there, the LBD is for life, not just for Christmas.

Dos and don'ts

• Do add an amazing piece of jewellery. A huge brooch - ideally, works really well against the simple backdrop, as do chunky cuffs.

• Do experiment with incredible shapes. Black is the perfect base, so try more daring silhouettes than you would usually wear.

• Don't get too carried away with accessories. Just one significant piece is usually enough, or you risk over-gilding the lily.

• Do spend as much as you can on the perfect dress - you will still be wearing it years from now.

• Don't opt for the latest on-trend LBD. Seek out the right shape for your figure.

• Do look out for the best high street versions - sometimes cheap black fabric can look just that.

• Do keep shoes classic and elegant -this season's patent court shoes look especially slick and modern.

• For real impact, do wear all black with scarlet shoes - it will also add a seasonal touch.

The story behind the “little black dress”

The LBD is known to be popularized by Coco Chanel back in the 20s. Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel created the little black dress between the pages of Vogue magazine. Actually, the LBD had been the practical choice when attending funerals. It was Chanel who made it famous by featuring her "Ford" design in 1926. From that moment on, the little black dress became synonymous with "elegance, seduction, and flattery." Going against the grain at the time, as black clothing was used only when mourning, its simplicity and lines made it suitably elegant for women of all social classes and ages.

Chanel's design was a sleeveless straight style, adorned with slanting designs and hitting at the calves when worn. It was at this moment that the little black dress had earned a new title: "a sort of uniform for all women of taste," courtesy of Vogue magazine. How right they were! Basic black was not only synonymous with mourning, but with sophistication and comfort. Due to efforts to save textiles for soldier's uniforms during World War II, civilian women faced the business world in Chanel's creation.

In the 50s, Dior and Givenchy gave the LBDs a facelift, and was often communicated as a uniform or a symbol of women to watch out for. The LBD's ease in pulling off altered designs and materials made it affordable and suitable for anyone.

During the mod phase in the 60s, the LBD's hem was shortened, slits were implemented and increase usage of sheer materials such as netting and tulle. The most iconic Little Black Dress of all time till now is possibly the black sheath dress Audrey Hepburn wore as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. The simple sleeveless black shift is the one that started a timeless trend of dresses that eventually enveloped a whole wardrobe of different styles and shapes, but in the end, are all little, and all black. Designed by Hubert de Givenchy, many women in the 60s aspired to achieve such languid elegance. The Chanel little black dress became a symbol of chic and sophisticated simplicity.

In December 2006, that very same dress Audrey Hepburn wore in the movie was sold at auction for over $800,000.

Most of her fashions had a staying power, and didn't change much from year to year - or even generation to generation.

Clearly, the reason that the little black dress is a classic piece in any woman's wardrobe is two-fold. On the one hand, the LBD is the ultimate in versatility. A woman can get pretty far with a fairly basic LBD. On the other hand, you can never have too many LBDs!

4 reasons for LBD to be so essential

1. Black is flattering for all sizes, shapes and skin tones. No matter who you are there is a LBD out there for you! Take the time to find one that makes you feel great and fits you properly.

2. You can wear black any time, during any season and to most events. The LBD is chic, classic and sexy all rolled into one. It's the perfect dress to be worn for a night out on the town or as a cover up at the beach.

3. You can wear this dress a dozen different ways. Jazz it up for evening with a beautiful beaded bolero or tone it down with flats and a wrist full of bangles. If you would like to wear it to work layer a cardigan sweater or blazer for a more refined look.

4. Last but not least: one of these dresses is never enough. Have a few versions on hand that can work with the rest of your wardrobe.

Here are some examples of LBD's that will work for various figure shapes that can be found at various stores and online

We all want that perfect little black dress. But do you know which one will fit you best? Here are some splurge and save options for the 4 most common body types:

An hourglass shaped woman has a body type that looks as it sounds. You have a voluptuous chest, well-defined waist and curvy (proportional) hips. The best little black dress is going to be an A-Line. The top of the dress should be v-neck, well-fitted and structured with darts. The skirt should have an A-line shape so that it flows over the hips. Your hemline should be just above the knee so that this dress can be used season after season.

If you have a pear-shaped body, you tend to have hips that are wider then your shoulders. For this type of body you will want a dress that accentuates your bust line, has a fitted top and a straight skirt. The skirt should fall straight off the hips, which will help even out the lower half of your body.

A straight body (a.k.a. a boyish figure) is the body that has little definition between your bust, waist and hip measurements. Your best bet is going to be a little black dress that is a baby doll, A-Line or a fitted sheath.

Apple shaped woman tend to carry their weight in the middle section and lack a defined waist. For this type of body you should go for Empire-waist styles with full or A-line Skirts.

Coco's Black Dress

One of Coco Chanel's main design strengths was her faultless creation of strong, simple shapes in clean, neutral colours. The little black dress was therefore very much in her signature style. With a clean and sexy silhouette Coco created a sleeveless tailored sheath dress cut just above the knee. Still one of the most popular styles of little black dress.

The Beauty of the Little Black Dress

Anyone with a little black dress will not need telling why they are so wonderful but a reminder is always good when you feel like you have nothing to wear. The benefits are so numerous they are probably best presented in a list. Little black dresses are brilliant because...

• They come in a variety of shapes and designs. Long, short, pencil skirt, flared skirt, long sleeved, halter neck, boob tube, spaghetti straps, the list is endless.

• Black is very slimming. It is flattering whether you are a size 6 or a size 20

• Whatever the occasion it never looks out of place (as long as the sleeves and length are appropriate)

• You can go from work to a funeral and to a cocktail party without changing

• You can dress it down with thick black tights, flat shoes, a cardigan or a blazer.

• You can dress it up with a flash of colour in your make-up, with extravagant jewellery, beautiful shoes or a super belt.

• You can wear the same dress for a week and look different every day with the wonder of accessories.

• You can have ten completely different black dresses in your wardrobe without feeling guilty.

• You can look great in a little black dress whether it cost £20 or £2,000.

• You know it will never go out of fashion so it is a long term investment (as long as you don't buy one with a puffball skirt).

• It can be elegant, chic, sexy, formal, relaxed or reserved,

Some Famous Little Black Dresses

Before Coco Chanel revolutionised the black dress it's most famous wearer had been Queen Victoria who had worn black dresses in mourning for 40 years. After Coco's little black dress became popular, however, it is no wonder the hall of little black dress fame increased. There have now been many famous versions.

• Audrey Hepburn's Givenchy dress in Breakfast at Tiffany's
• Audrey Hepburn's flared dress in Sabrina
• Liz Hurley's Versace safety-pin black dress (Four Weddings and a Funeral première)
• Morticia Adams and Lily Munster
• The boob-tube ladies in the Robert Palmer video
• Princess Diana dancing with John Travolta at the White House
• The women of Sex and the City in one of their latest ad campaigns

So what are you waiting for? Either start buying Little Black Dresses or dig out all of the ones you undoubtedly have in your wardrobe. Stop kidding yourself that you have nothing to wear and get back to black

Selected Coco Chanel Quotations

• A woman has the age she deserves.

• Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.

• "Where should one use perfume?" a young woman asked. "Wherever one wants to be kissed," I said.

• I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.

Celebs who swears by Hoodia

2010-03-16T15:42:00.016Z

We all know that Hollywood Stars shape our concept of what we should look like, so it makes sense we look to these same celebrities to know what diet pills we should take. Don’t think that celebs have power in the world of weight loss?

TERI HATCHER and EVA LONGORIA

Famous celebrities have also realized power of natural Hoodia Gordonii for weight loss. According to VH1 Celebrity Diet Tips Exposed, "Desperate Housewives Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria swear by Hoodia, it's an herbal remedy that actually suppresses the appetite."

ANGELINA JOLIE

The Desperate Housewives aren't the only famous celebrities realizing significant weight loss with hoodia. Angelina Jolie lost the majority of the 25 pounds she gained from pregnancy by using Hoodia, as reported by Malcolm Balfour in the Globe who stated, "Angelina appears to have already lost most of the 25 lbs she gained during the pregnancy...in fact, she looked toned and fit just 19 days after giving birth..."

NICOLE RITCHIE

According to one of Nicole Ritchie's friends, her drastic weight loss was caused by her infatuation with the over-the-counter weight loss drug Hoodia Gordonii. The brunette's close friend Crystal has revealed the 'Simple Life' star is hooked on Hoodia - a South African herb that fools the brain into thinking you are constantly full. She told Britain's More magazine that Nicole once told her: 'Hoodia makes you look hot in low-cut tops and backless dresses. It is good for me - the bushmen have sworn by it for hundreds of years and that's good enough for me.'

BRITNEY SPEARS

As per reports, Spears is sucking special hoodia lollies, which trick the brain into thinking that the stomach is filled and a chemical found in asthma medication.
The move came before the release of her comeback album ‘Blackout’, reports Heat magazine.

OPRAH WINFREY

The use of hoodia also appeared in the famous Oprah Winfrey magazine O in a general July, 2005 article entitled "Diet Pills" that featured a photograph of the San tribe in South Africa holding the hoodia herb.

NICOLE SMITH

Finally, the late, great Anna Nicole Smith endorsed the use of hoodia after a major weight loss and said, "Hoodia works; it's the new miracle diet pill that aids in weight loss by suppressing appetite!"
With so many high-profile users, clearly hoodia is a safe, effective and popular way to suppress your appetite and lose those extra pounds.

Celebrities Reveal Their Insecurities about their body

2010-03-14T22:25:00.059Z

Even gorgeous talented Hollywood celebrities have insecurities about their body.

Just ask Heroes star Hayden Panettiere. The actress says:

“The older I get the more comfortable I get with it, but I still have my days where I don’t feel great, and I don’t like this outfit or that outfit and I’m having my fat day where I have to put something baggy on and sweatpants or just with the way that people perceive me, I have plenty of insecurities I can go on and on.”
I’ve never been one of those people who’s been obsessed with working out or being super skinny because I’m just not. I’m not that. I have the body that I have and that’s not going to change as long as I try to stay as healthy as I can, and all that stuff.”

Even the most beautiful celebs can have the biggest hang-ups

According to a Glamour interview, Jennifer Lopez has revealed she is really insecure about herself sometimes as her new friend Victoria Beckham who feels the same way too. You wouldn’t think that they are not having that kind of problems due their confident appearance, but before they are celebrities the two are women, and it’s natural to have some moments of weakness from time to time.

Anyway the thing is that Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Beckham found something in common and now they are great friends, Jennifer thought it to be important that all of her and Victoria’s fans see that celebrities have their issues, too.

Sienna Miller has banned herself from eating her favorite treat — chocolate cake. The British actress, 27, says getting older in Hollywood is a scary prospect and she has already started to get wobbly bits. The actress says:

“I do stop myself from eating chocolate cake, and I make a joke that I should just stick it on my bum because that’s where it’s going. But I will then eat the chocolate cake and then … I have definite insecurities about my body. I’m small but I’m not firm anymore.”

Taylor Swift has insecurities about her body too. The 20-year-old starlet feels she has to improve her body shape as there are a lot of imperfections to her mind and it makes her feel insecure.

“I definitely have body issues, but everybody does. When you come to the realisation that everybody does that – even the people that I consider flawless – then you can start to live with the way you are. I’ve read interviews with some of the most beautiful women who have insecurities. And you look at them and you’re like ‘How do you have?’ Name one thing wrong with yourself and they could name a handful.”

The successful actress and singer is to ‘maintain confidence’ about the way she looks no matter how curvy and imperfect everybody consider her.

Cheryl Cole has a confession — she doesn’t like her legs. The Girls Aloud singer-turned X Factor says she’s not 100% happy with the way she looks.

“I don’t like my legs,” Cole tells the Daily Record newspaper. “I haven’t got much of them for a start. If somebody sees a bit of cellulite on my legs in a magazine and it makes them feel comfortable then I’m happy that I’ve made that one person at home go ‘Cheryl’s got cellulite, it’s fine’. I do it myself. I flick through magazines and see Kate Moss has got cellulite and it makes me feel happier about myself. You can’t help it.”

However, the 25-year-old insists she won’t be going under the surgeon’s knife. “We’re all individuals and the quirky things make a character,” she said. “People go on about the bump in my nose, but I don’t mind it. If a surgeon messes your face up you’re screwed.”

Megan Fox is complaining about her looks again! The starlet - who’s known more for her beauty than her talent - has revealed that she can’t stand to look at herself on-screen or in pictures.

“I never (look at myself),” says Megan, “even in still photographs. I don’t look at anything. I panic if there is a monitor in the room I immediately go into like an anxiety attack. I’m insecure, I think most actors are pretty insecure.”

Although her sexy image has landed her a job as Calvin Klein's underwear model, Megan Fox is still insecure about her body. In a new interview with W magazine, the "Transformers" babe said, "My main weakness is nerves. I have no confidence, and because of that I'm always second-guessing myself."

Angelina Jolie is insecure about her breasts and “saggy” stomach. The “Changeling” actress, who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt, is said to be struggling to come to terms with her post-baby body following the July 2008 birth of twins Knox and Viv – despite partner Brad Pitt's insistence that she “looks more beautiful than ever.”

"The biggest issues for her are her breasts - which she says are smaller and not as firm as they were before she breast-fed three children - and her stomach, which she's described as 'saggy'. She's frustrated because no matter how much exercise she does, there's still some skin and wrinkles."

The problem is that, although Brad loves her, it’s Angelina herself who needs to learn to love her own new body, just like millions of other moms around the world.”

Sandra Bullock might be one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but friends say she’s painfully insecure about the way she looks. The Blind Side actress apparently hates being seen alongside svelte stars at red carpet events — so decided to get her body into shape with the help of a personal trainer and hundreds of hours of pilates.

“She’s a bit better now that she’s in such good shape, but if she sees Julia Roberts, Halle Berry or Charlize Theron anywhere near her at an event, she freaks out inside."
The actress feels there is nothing sexier than a woman with a slight tummy, so she uses it as an excuse to skip the gym.

“I go, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to lose weight so I can fit into this.’ But I also go, ‘I haven’t been to the gym in a year. Do I want to go to the gym? No’,” she said. “At some point I will start running again and I will get there. There’s something sexy about a gut. Not a 400-pound beer gut, but a little paunch. I love that.”

Jessica Simpson has struggled with body image issues her entire life. In September’s Glamour, the singer/actress reveals how she’s plagued by insecurity.

“When I was young, I would look at magazines and feel a lot of pressure,” said Simpson. “As a child of 12, I would write things in my journal like, ‘I’m lying here and all I can think about is that my stomach is hanging over my underwear.’ That disturbs me even today!

“I was always disconnected from myself; there was this idea of perfection I couldn’t ever get to. But all women struggle with insecurity, and we all have something we don’t like about ourselves."

"No matter how much money you spend to make yourself beautiful — with all the products, the diets, the plastic surgery — in the end, women need to fall in love with themselves and realize they’re beautifully and wonderfully made. There is no ‘perfect’ you.”

Mariah Carey felt ugly growing up because she was mixed race. The Obsessed singer — whose mother is Irish-American and her father was an African-American of Venezuelan descent — claims she never fitted in at school because of her heritage, leaving her very insecure about the way she looks.

“I am very insecure about my looks, and I always have been because of being mixed race.”

Mischa Barton’s personal demons not only included a DUI arrest, relationship breakups and a hospitalization at a psychiatric ward – the actress also struggled with a fluctuating weight and body image.

“She has big self-esteem issues. … She hates her legs,” says a source close to Barton. “She isn’t comfortable with her body. It’s been a big source of stress and self-hate.”

Speculation about 23-year-old actress’s weight and nasty comments from tabloids and blogs also fueled insecurity. “She had a big problem with those photos of her cellulite. "

Scarlett Johansson confessed that when she was young, she felt insecure about her body, she felt her lips where too big, and she always felt she was too fat. In addition she feels she is too short (1.63meters)

Kate Beckinsale recently revealed her biggest insecurity – her teeth. “I never realized what enormous teeth I have until I saw my movies”, Kate says.

Sheryl Crow complains about her nose, “I have a very crooked nose”, the singer says.

Lindsay Lohan hates her freckles, saying they “bug” her.

Gwyneth Paltrow claims she never thinks she is thin enough or that her breasts are large enough – "You know the saying, you can never be too rich or too thin."

The assets Pamela Anderson is most famous for, are the one thing she’s most insecure about, “The thing I love most about my body, the thing I hate most are my breasts. I have a love-hate relationship with them.”

One of the world’s most famous beauties, Jessica Biel claims her least favorite part of her body are her legs, “They could be longer or leaner”, Jessica says. I’m sure there are thousands of men who beg to differ.

Eva Longoria would like to be a little bit taller. That is why she always uses high heels

Keira Knightley isn’t too proud of being skinny. She constantly denies allegations of suffering from anorexia. She says she eats a lot, and that she would love to have the curves of Monica Belluci.

Rihanna has confessed that she doesn’t like her legs. She would love to have more skinny legs, and even though she spends hour in the gym it seems she doesn’t get the results she would like!

Uma Thurman feels her eyes and eyebrows look too big. She tries to cover them up with make-up.

Sarah Jessica Parker has stated many times she hates her nose. She thinks it is big and ugly! In any case she has accepted it!

Many men find Beyonce the sexiest woman on earth, however, the only body part she doesn’t like are her ears. She feels they are too big!

Britney Spears

Her nightmare always has been acne (Pimples!)

Kate Hudson has always has hated her Dumbo ears. That is why you will see her 90% of the time with her hair covering her ears

Amy Winehouse

"I’m quite an insecure person. I’m very insecure about the way I look. I mean, I’m a musician I’m not a model. The more insecure I felt, the more I’d drink. And to Tracey Trash, who does my hair, I’d be like, “Bigger! Bigger!” - like the more insecure I feel, the bigger my hair has to be."

Nicole Scherzinger has her own body hang-ups. The Pussycat Doll says she does her best to stay in shape.

"Every woman has insecurities," she says. ‘I feel I have to work on my legs and thighs.’ But Nicole doesn’t mind indulging in a few treats once in a while. "I love food – sweets, cakes, chocolate, cheese, bread, pasta," she tells Fabulous.

Lily Allen has been able to maintain her lean figure, but it looks like this singer still has insecurities about her weight. To hear what she said in a recent interview, read more. According to People magazine:

"My mum always told me, 'You're beautiful, you're my beautiful little girl,' and then suddenly I wasn't. I read all the stuff that people were writing about me and I started to get a different view. I mean, I never thought I was a supermodel or anything, but I didn’t think I was quite as unattractive as people were saying! I just thought, ‘Maybe if I'm not fat, then people won't call me ugly.'"

How to Overcome Insecurity Associated with Weight Gain and Body Image

2010-03-13T23:51:00.012Z

Do you constantly doubt yourself? Could you use a self-confidence pick-me-up? Insecurity stems from childhood (and other times of life) programming where you are taught to constantly be on guard in case something should go wrong. You are taught that if something can go wrong, it will. You will have to reprogram yourself to get rid of all of your insecurity.

There's nothing more sexy than confidence. If there's one thing most women need more of its inner confidence.

There is a beauty, a slimming and a cosmetic industry that relies on women feeling insecure about who they are. Images are airbrushed within a small margin of recognition; 13 - 15 year old children are used to model clothes that women in their 30's and 40's will buy.

Take a trip to your local clothes store, every mannequin is a size 10 or under. What does this say to you the consumer? It might say you are not seen, you are not important. It might say to you, conform, be like this image. Love fashion but love yourself also.

We all know that we can lose weight, we can buy the clothes, shoes and matching purse; but we will never be able to turn back years, nor should we want to, but we do. Beauty is not homogenized, its not one size fits all. Grown folk need to let that go and cherish what makes them unique. Emphasize being healthy, knowing your own beauty and living by that definition, not one created to improve a bank balance.

If you have a problem with extra weight and it does affect your self-confidence, you are not alone. There is a hope and you can improve your life by the help of safe and effective weight loss pill, when all the natural ways of losing weight failed. You can attain your ideal weight - try Little Black Dress SHAPE Slimming Capsules (on offer for £24.95, with free carriage within the UK mainland)

We all have a choice, in what we choose to believe, if you are ready to take control over your own self image, not having it manipulated to suit some fashion designers pocket, or some cosmetic surgeons bank balance

Being overweight can adversely affect how you see yourself as a valued individual in society. It seems like all of society is geared towards young thinness. Well the society that is seen in the media maybe, but you can control what you think about yourself. Making the positive steps to change that now will move you towards your goal.

Beauty isn't a myth, perfection is. The truth is, the kind of physical beauty that makes it on to magazine covers isn't as rare as you would think.

It is time to look beyond the air brushed photos and personally trained bodies of celebrities and see the true picture. How can you be expected to hold true to a standard of beauty that is marred by perfection? Physical beauty is not the most important thing in the world and it should never be the most important thing in your life. While it is healthy to want to be the most attractive "you" possible, it is not healthy to do whatever it takes to see that "you". The media images should not be seen as targets or goals, but as works of art. Like Michelangelo's David or the Mona Lisa, media images today are nothing more than artistic styling’s of our age. In most cases the models themselves are airbrushed and retouched to be flawless - the flaws of humanity stripped out of their faces in order to sell and seduce. Sure they are beautiful to look at, but they are not realistic images of beauty. We are so caught up in living up to these images that we don't stop to think that perfection and beauty aren't at all the same.

Nobody is perfect - nobody should want to be!

Body image involves far more than our perception of how we appear to others. It encompasses our self-esteem and self-respect, and it can impinge on everything from a decision about what dress we wear to a party to our relationships, work and health.

There has been so much said in recent years about body image and the media. About how it makes women feel to see super slim super models gracing the pages of every fashion magazine, and how guys feel when they see the Adonis like physiques of the men on TV and in print ads. The "expert" opinions have not been good - the pressure to be perfect is so great that it is destroying the self esteem of an entire generation! Is this really true? Is an entire generation being made insecure by the images of the "ideal body" that plague our TV screens, magazine pages and billboards?

Studies suggest that women are constantly evaluating themselves, based on whether they look good and how they feel about their bodies. These studies also show a direct correlation between low self-esteem and poor body image so, in theory, by developing a better body image, we could all improve our self-confidence.

The "pressure of perfection" on girls and women has long been a hot topic of debate in feminist circles. It is a long held feminist belief that societal images of beauty are destroying the self esteem of girls before they even reach their teens. Naomi Wolfe's 1992 book “The Beauty Myth" fronted the feminist "backlash" revolution that declared standards of beauty to be weapons used to "keep women in their place". Her book ruffled a lot of feathers and put the idea of "beauty as bondage" on the fast track of social issues. "The Beauty Myth" made a lot of people stop and think and many women declared that they would no longer accept the standards of beauty placed on them by society, not for themselves or their daughters. But at the end of the day, eating disorder rates in girls and young women increased.

The pressure to be perfect has even made plastic surgery an issue for teens. In 1999 teen pop star Britney Spears had to fight off accusations that she had breast surgery to make her breasts larger. Nobody even once stopped to think that, being a teenager at the end of puberty, her breasts may have blossomed from girlish to womanly all by themselves. What is even more disturbing is that, real or not, her breasts opened a dialogue among teenagers that exposed a frightening truth. The "Great Britney Boob Debate" revealed that a large number of teenagers would jump at the chance to have plastic surgery while still teens, and that another 45% would consider it after they had finished growing.

Learn to be confident
What one single personality trait most makes you popular, attractive and sexy? It's nothing to do with being tall, slim and beautiful; it's everything to do with being confident. Countless studies show that people are attracted to people with high self-esteem. If a woman genuinely believes in herself - not with the arrogance of uncertainty, but with a calm inner security - people are drawn to her like a magnet!

To start to turn this round and become self secure, you first need to alter the basics, the way you approach life in general.

Look confident
Feeling good about yourself on the inside will make you feel great on the outside. You can also add to the internal changes you're making by deliberately looking and acting more confident. If you add extra zing to the way you come across, people will respond to you more positively - and that in turn will then make you feel even better about yourself!

Feel good about your physical appearance.
1. Don't make comparisons with others - accept yourself. In particular, don't compare yourself with models, celebrities and anyone who has their photos in the papers - they all get airbrushed so what you see is not reality!
2. Be proactive in looking good. But only change what is healthy for you to change; going over the top with, for example, starvation diets or extreme cosmetic surgery is a sign you need to work at being more comfortable with whom you are.
3. Being actively kind to your body will help you feel better about it. Indulging in sensual activities such as dance, massage - and loving sex - will work wonders for your body confidence.
4. Remember that after the first ten seconds, most people won't judge you on the way you look. If your personality shines through, you will make a good impression and people will respond positively to you.
5. If in any situation you find yourself feeling bad about the way you look, use this quick strategy. Remember a time when you felt really confident in your appearance, then take a deep breath and as you let it out, let yourself feel good.

Add in confident body language - to make yourself seem confident even when you're not.
1. Don't hide inside your clothes, choosing too-big sizes because you hate your figure. Dress gurus suggest that whatever size you are, outlining your shape will make a more confident - and so more effective statement.
2. Resist the temptation to play it safe if choosing between a conservative look and a stunning one. Dress to turn heads and you will - which in itself will boost your self-esteem.

Develop confidence
A confident woman makes a successful partner - so bring your self-esteem into your love life.
With more confidence, you'll be more able to take on new challenges in life.

How to get rid of all of your insecurity?

Making positive steps will move you towards your goal

B. E. A. U. T. I. F. U. L.

Be the most gorgeous you. Stand in front of the mirror and find five things that you love about yourself, if it’s just the tip of your nose love it. Find a way to celebrate what is good to you. It’s not about anyone's approval.

Emit positivity. It’s hard to get a really good result, good self esteem from being negative about everything. Watch what you say about yourself, turn that negative into a positive. Find two positive things to say about your body and you; and believe it !

Assess yourself for change. Don't sit down and think about everything to just feel bad about yourself, or to feel regretful. Believe it or not this way of thinking can actually be a form of comfort, in a negative way. Use your assessment time to make the change in your life. If you look back and see that you are not doing enough with your mind, your body, you and your time, take the assessment to make goals to change those areas in your life. Don’t start big, start with a small step. What do you want to change based on your past history? Make one goal and start with a small step to achieve that. If you want to lose 100 pounds then a way to doing that is to incorporate healthy living into your life, maybe start of with a five pound goal with exercise and little changes to your diet that will empower you to see you losing the 95 remaining pounds.

Uniquely you. There is no one like you. No one will ever be you. You are different from everyone else. There is something that you have that no one on this earth will ever have. Firstly, do you know what that something is? Do you really know what makes you different? Embrace your difference, not as a way to be superior but as an acceptance for yourself. Secondly, you do not measure beauty by what everyone else says it is. Beauty starts and ends with you first. It's the rest of the world that will catch up. When you see that unique beauty as yours the world will also.

Take back control. Don't make excuses for your laziness, your lack of direction or your friends and family. If you have something in your life that is taking your power to choose, your power to be who you are , your power to be in control of what you think about you and your life, get rid of it! There may be some toxic habits, choices, friends and relatives that you may have to put on notice. This is your life you have a right to enjoy it.

Inspiration required. you may have what you thought was inspiration by examining countless celebrity magazines, glossy magazines that were just 300 page advertisements trying to get you to buy what they were selling. You may have watched countless makeover shows that talked about changing who you are from the outside in. Real inspiration comes from people who have overcome, who have fought for a dream and won. Who are these people to you? Maybe they are in your family, your community, they could even be famous. You want inspiration that isn’t just about what a person puts on their body, but who they are, their character and what they have achieved . Find a man who can be this inspiration to you, that will encourage you to move towards your goals.

Fun time is your time. Are you actually doing what makes you happy? We have all met those people who hate their jobs, their family, their weight, their lives. These people spend countless minutes telling you and the world about it. Its hard to imagine those people enjoying themselves. Are you one of them? If you are one of them, don't worry its not too late to change. Fun is your right. There must be something that makes you sputter, roll off the couch and laugh yourself silly. Can you find it? So long as its legal, and not detrimental to anyone you can. People who have fun in life emit confidence that goes toward an attractive demeanor. Was it so long ago since you had unabashed fun time without worrying about how you look? The rest of the world isn't always looking at you, criticizing you. That was you. Get out and find that thing that you do. Make the next month a time when you forget about what you think other people think about you, even what you think about you and just go for it. One thing. Just for Fun!

Undo the damage done by unhealthy habits. These maybe a multitude of things, and you know what they are. You can create the new positive habits by doing something consistently for 3 - 6 weeks. Start small, aim big. This all goes toward you making the most of your life and your body. Prayer, mediation and finding that space to visualize yourself in that positive habit can aid you in this. Find one habit you want to change and change it within the next 3 - 6 weeks. Just do it!

Love yourself and others. Give what you want to receive. Its not all about you, but it begins with you. Your every waking moment should not be spent contemplating your weight, your complexion, your lack. When you love you for just being you and unique, you will begin to see what is unique and special about everyone else. You cannot love anyone else or even begin to consider any of it if you don't know who you are, have no life and no control. Beautiful is the fullness of your unique beauty that begins with you and impacts those around you, love you and aim to give back.

All About Cellulite

2010-03-09T08:55:00.007Z

Britney has it, Fergie has it, Sharon has it -- even Kate Moss has it. So let's face it: Cellulite is a part of life most of us need to accept.

It's true, even celebrities have cellulite. It makes the magazine covers all the time, it seems like there's just no escape, even if your diet and exercise regimens are close to perfect. In women over around 25 or so, perhaps younger, cellulite is extremely common.

So, it's nothing be embarrassed about... I guess. But, we still are, aren't we? We want something to help us turn back the clock a bit and help us younger looking and keep our legs and butt looking slimmer and sexier. It's what we all want. Nothing is more depressing than getting flabby things.

"Whether you're a size 6 or size 16, you can still have cellulite"

Cellulite is a common problem for many women and some men too. Fat or thin, short or tall, it can be an issue for even the slimmest and fittest of women. It is caused when the body stores fat in the top fat layer - the one directly under the skin. Unlike the body’s other fat layers, fat here has a different structure and appears dimpled under the skin.

Your hormones and your metabolism are usually the reason that your body will store fat here (sadly it can be hereditary so blame your mother), these two factors also control the regulation of blood flow to the area and the body’s lymphatic drainage, which is why cellulite often forms in puberty, pregnancy and menopause.

What Is THE Root Cause Of Cellulite?

The “Excess” Fat!
It is different from fat. Fat is smooth when pushed together, while cellulite forms a dimple effect - causing that "orange peel skin" and "cottage cheese thighs".

I want you to understand this:

"Cellulite is NOT a weight problem, Cellulite IS a FAT problem."

Cellulite is really only a glorified term for fat -- specifically, collections of fat that expand and push against the connective tissue of your skin, creating the infamous dimpled "cottage cheese" appearance. Cellulite is the result of excess body fat, and as such, usually collects in high-fat areas of your body, such as the butt, thighs, and stomach. Because women generally have a higher amount of (healthy and unhealthy) body fat than men, women tend to have a higher occurrence of cellulite.

How to know if you have cellulite?

Press tissue between your thumb and finger, or between the palms of your two hands and if it is "normal" fat it will appear smooth, with no ripples or bumps but if you have ripples or bumps which look like "orange peel" - you have cellulite. When pressing the tissue together, it will be sensitive when cellulite is present.

How is cellulite formed?

All muscles in the body are covered with a padding of fatty, connective tissue, which varies in thickness, and is surrounded by a liquid – supplying this "covering" with nourishment and removing waste products.

This fatty tissue is held in place by a network of fibres, and when the system works well, all waste products are removed from this system – resulting in smooth body curves. When the waste removal system starts to fail, waste products start building up, and the connective tissue becomes saturated with liquid, which then thickens and hardens – forming hard pockets that puff up to produce the "orange peel" or "cottage cheese" effect.

Where do you find cellulite on your body?
Regular fat can be found anywhere on the body, while cellulite tends to settle on the following areas
• inner, upper and back of thighs
• upper back below the shoulders
• ankles
• inside and back of upper arms
• buttocks
• lower back
• hips
• stomach

Things that cause cellulite:
• Insufficient water intake
• Little or no exercise
• Constipation and digestion problems
• Tension and stress
• Pollution
• Incorrect breathing
• Fatigue
• Poor eating habits
• Hormonal cycles
• Use of lotions containing mineral oils … (Derivations from petrochemical waste products, which block absorption of healthy nutrients by your skin)

Effective Strategies to Get Rid of Cellulite

Diet
• Avoid processed and refined foods - rather opt for fresh, wholesome natural foods instead of canned or convenience foods.
• Limit salt intake as sodium tends to increase water retention. Limit coffee intake and rather opt for herbal teas or clear clean water.
• Avoid all processed meats (including smoked meats and fish), pork, crisps, chips, salted nuts, chocolate, sweets and pastries, carbonated drinks, dips, gravies and the like.
• Limit starch (like bread etc) intake - especially if you are overweight or tend to pick up weight easily.
• Eat fresh fruit and vegetables every day at each meal, with fish and meat only once a day.
• Choose food for its nutritional value, not the taste alone.
• Eat slowly and chew your food well. Stick to regular meal times and do not snack in between.
• Give your liver a break with a bland diet that is easy to digest - even for a short period of time - just to get your body functioning correctly again.
• Do not drink liquids at mealtime but ensure adequate water intake during the day.
• Eat only right fats
Never use cheap oils and any of the junk foods containing them. When cooking, use butter or unprocessed coconut oil. Put only extra-virgin olive oil or organic sour cream in your soups and salads.
When you do not eat enough fiber and cellulite is a problem, your diet may contain more of the foods that can cause cellulite. Any salty or fatty foods will go straight to your hips and thighs if you do not use fiber to prevent this from happening.
Fiber acts like a scrub brush for the body. Fiber will improve circulation and improve your skin’s appearance from the inside out.

Breathing
• In order to facilitate proper oxygenation of the blood and to assist the lungs in removing toxins, proper breathing must be followed.

Exercise
• Doing exercise stimulates circulation and speeds up the metabolism, improving muscle tone and firming of tissue.

Proper elimination of waste
• The skin, (the largest organ), kidneys and intestines must be able to get rid of toxins.
• If you have a problem with constipation it must be addressed immediately, as constipation is one of the major causes of cellulite. To remedy the problem with constipation do NOT use laxatives that will irritate the colon, but rather opt for stool bulking products, such as psyllium husks to do the job - they do not irritate, nor do they cause laxative dependency and can be used daily.
• The kidneys can be assisted by increasing your fluid intake and thereby increasing volume of urine.
• The skin should be boosted by sweating and perspiration, to assist in elimination of wastes.

Relaxation
• In order to get the entire body working correctly, stress must be reduced with your body as well as mind being in sync.

Massage
• With massaging, the cellulite areas are targeted to stimulate circulation, specially for areas not very well worked with exercise, such as the inside of the knee and upper thigh.

FACTS
Cellulite is a body condition that affects more than 90% of women.

It is caused by fat cells being trapped in a mesh of supporting tissue, becomes inflexible through a poor supply of oxygen and blood.

Everybody has fat cells, even skinny women - but they will only show up as 'orange peel' if the flexibility of the supporting tissue is poor.

If it is inflexible, fat cells are trapped, giving cellulite its 'lumpy' appearance (like a balloon being pushed through a string vest).

THE DIET
Ditch the toxins "Alcohol, cigarettes and coffee may restrict the blood vessels and blood supply, which could make cellulite worse."

Reduce saturated fat "Dump junk food as it may cause cholesterol-rich build-up on blood-vessel walls, restricting blood-flow, which could cause cellulite."

Eat pulses "Foods like chickpeas and alfalfa sprouts contain saponin, a super-nutrient which can help lower the cholesterol that clogs blood vessels.

Cut salt "Too much salt can cause fluid retention and bloating - which may make cellulite appear more prominently."

Go purple "Aubergines, cherries, black grapes and berries are all are rich in anthocyanins, an antioxidant that may help maintain blood flow."

Eat fibre "Brown pasta, wholemeal bread, porridge and pulses may keep the digestive system working more efficiently, helping to prevent water retention."

Drink plenty "Drinking plenty of fluid can actually can reduce fluid retention."

VIKKI LAMOTTA – The Perfect Cellulite Solution
SOS treatment says goodbye to cellulite

This scientifically-proven worldwide formula is a powerful treatment that visibly reduces existing cellulite as it inhibits free fatty acid production while stimulating lipolysis, which recycles these fatty acids into energy. SOS uses an innovative mode of action, inhibiting the formation of new blood cells which suppresses cell maturation and forces the adipocytes (fatty cells) to stay dormant, non-operational and in a non-fat storing form.

- Be cellulite free in 4 weeks
- Works on hips, thighs, buttocks and stomach
- Lose those lumps, bumps and orange peel skin
- Have smoother, tighter & firmer skin in cellulite areas
- Made by chemists and doctors approved

While there is no magic cure for cellulite, there is a temporary solution and it’s called VIKKI LAMOTTA – THE PERFECT CELLULITE SOLUTION.

This solution, which was developed by a chemist and is doctor approved, can help in those cellulite areas around your body.

IINGREDIENTS: Water, Emulsifying Wax NF, Squalane, Cyclomethicone, Hyaluronic Acid, Sorbitan Laurate, Lauroyl Proline, Butylene Glycol, Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.

A quick and easy way to get rid of cellulite without strenuous exercise and dieting or expensive & invasive surgery

2010-03-08T12:32:00.016Z

When you have tried diet and exercise and you don’t want to go to the extreme surgery solution for cellulite, there is still hope for getting rid of cellulite naturally and permanently. Using natural creams and supplements will eliminate the cellulite on your body without the expense and pain of a surgical procedure.

Britney has it, Fergie has it, Sharon has it -- even Kate Moss has it. So let's face it: Cellulite is a part of life most of us need to accept.

"Whether you're a size 6 or size 16, you can still have cellulite"

Says dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad, who links it to a cascade of events including poor circulation. Experts generally agree that while you can't completely get rid of it, you can minimize its appearance with the right products.

Cellulite is not related to being overweight; average and underweight people also get cellulite.

Cellulite has been called names including orange peel syndrome, cottage cheese skin, the mattress phenomenon, and hail damage…and you’re sick of it!

Wouldn't it be lovely if there was a cream that could compensate for a lifestyle high in chocolate and low in exercise?

WAYS TO REDUCE AND EVEN GET RID OF CELLULITE

It’s seems Impossible…
Like all the odds are against you...

Do you use cellulite cream?
Do you get cellulite surgery?
Do you get massages to make the cellulite go away?
Is there really a cellulite cure?

There is so much information about the government not regulating the food industry that’s causing you to have cellulite.

There is so much confusing information about whether or not cellulite is a disease or a condition of sorts.

There is so much confusing information about the nature of those embarrassing dimples we call cellulite on our trouble spots causing us to feel ashamed and downright uncomfortable about wearing bikinis, tight clothes, or being seen without any clothes on for that matter.
All of the cellulite treatments are really expensive and don’t seem to be that effective.

SO, WHAT DO WE DO?

There really are ways to reduce, and even get rid of, cellulite completely, at least to totally eliminate the appearance of it… One way to get rid of cellulite is by doing squats and drinking a lot of water.

Another way to start to get rid of cellulite is to reduce the fats in your diet. The less fat (extra high calorie food) you can eliminate from your diet, the easier and the more rapid success you will find in getting rid of cellulite.

- Increase your water intake to at least 8-10 glasses every day. Enjoy your food, but cut back on “fats for no reason”.
- Start exercising! Focus on circuit training and make sure, at a minimum, you have these exercises in your program: bench, squats, lat pull downs, sit ups, leg curls, dumb bell curls, tricep push downs.
- Start walking or jogging at least 4 times per week for 30 minutes. And do something active with your friends or family this week.
- If you don't have the time, patience and discipline to undergo a strict diet and exercise regime to help reduce cellulite, opting for a anti-cellulite treatment is definitely the answer for you.

If even the sight of your rear view on your latest holiday snaps can’t motivate you to massage cellulite daily, then treat yourself to Chanel’s Firming & Shaping Anti Cellulite Gel.
Chanel’s Firming & Shaping Anti Cellulite Gel. £59.95

Hoodia: Lose Weight Naturally

2010-03-04T10:34:00.012Z

More and more people feel the need to take natural health and weight loss supplements. There are a number of reports that mention the harmful side effects of other weight loss pills that are synthetic and are not naturally made and processed. Natural supplements are always better because you are taking pure healthy goodness and benefits from nature. If you are looking for natural products for weight loss, one of the things that you can try is Hoodia pills. Hoodia pills can effectively suppress your hunger and lower down your calorie intake.

A lot of people are afraid to take diet pills because of the number of reported side effects that they may bring. Some people would complain about disturbed sleep and headaches. This would not be the case with Hoodia pills. Since it is a natural product and contains only all-natural ingredients, you would have no side effects or experience only minimum. Up until today, Hoodia pills have no negative records detailing any major side effects.

Hoodia Gordonii has been shown to be safe and effective in reducing appetite and weight. With obesity reaching epidemic proportions across the world, hoodia may be the answer to millions of people needs. Just think - the hardest part about dieting was always hunger and cravings, Hoodia does away with all this. http://www.lilblackdress.co.uk/pure-hoodia-gordonii.html gordonii.html

WHAT IS HOODIA GORDONII?

Hoodia Gordonii (pronounced HOO-dee-ah) is a cactus-like plant that grows primarily in the semi-deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola.

Although it is often called a cactus because it resembles one, hoodia is actually a succulent plant.
It takes about five years before hoodia gordonii's pale purple flowers appear and the plant can be harvested.

Key Points:
• Certified 100% Pure Hoodia (You can also find other natural ingredients like green tea extract and magnesium contained in Hoodia pills.
• Hoodia is a succulent plant that grows in the Kalahari Desert
• Bushmen of Southern Africa have used Hoodia for thousands of years to fight off hunger
• P-57 is the molecule in Hoodia responsible for reducing appetite, and was clinically tested to reduce caloric intake by over 1,000 calories a day
• P57 can not be synthesized in a cost effective manner and therefore is not easily made into a drug
• In order for Hoodia Gordonii to have its appetite suppressant effect, it must be grown in the Kalahari desert
• Finding pure Hoodia Gordonii supplements from the Kalahari desert is a challenge to say the least
• Suitable for vegetarians
• CITES certificated

WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF HOODIA GORDONII?

Our story starts about 100,000 years ago. We know that sounds amazing, but the Bushmen of Southern Africa (also called "the San") have hunted, lived off the land and traveled across the Kalahari Desert for over 100,000 years. The Bushmen frequently go out on long hunting trips and chew on a local plant to reduce hunger and increase energy. The plant of course is Hoodia. Incredibly, by chewing on Hoodia, the San have been able to go days without eating and still remain strong and energetic.
Hoodia is a bitter-tasting cactus-like plant. The full name is Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia is a Succulent botanical which resembles a "cactus". For this reason, hoodia is often mistaken called the "african hoodia cactus". If you must know all the technical data it is Genus: Trichocaulon and Family Name: Asclepiadaceae. Full grown Hoodia plants can grow over 6 feet tall.

So, for thousands of years the Bushmen have been eating Hoodia Gordonii to decrease appetite and increase energy. While the Bushmen knew all about the powers of Hoodia, it was not until the mid 60's that the first research was done on Hoodia as an appetite suppressant. Even then, it took another 30 years for South African laboratories to isolate the specific appetite suppressing ingredient in Hoodia. This ingredient was called P57 (or p-57) and licensed to the British pharmaceutical company - Phytopharm.

WHAT EVIDENCE IS THERE THAT HOODIA WORKS AS AN APPETITE SUPPRESSANT?

For thousands of years the Bushmen of South Africa having been eating Hoodia Gordonii to fight off hunger during their week long hunting trips. For the Bushmen there is no question as to the appetite suppressant power of Hoodia Gordonii - it is a simple fact of life - if you are going on a long journey you chew on hoodia to avoid hunger.
While the Bushmen did not do formal clinical studies, there is thousands of years of real world evidence that eating Hoodia works as an appetite suppressant. To the Bushmen eating hoodia to suppress appetite is as clear as drinking water to quench thirst.

WERE ANY CLINICAL STUDIES DONE WITH P57?

Yes. In 2001 Phytopharm completed a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study in overweight, but otherwise healthy volunteers using the P57 extract from Hoodia gordonii. The participants were split into two groups, one group received the P57 and the other received a placebo. Both groups were told to continue their normal diet and exercise. The results were as follows:

When comparing the P57 group to the Placebo group:
• The P57 group had a statistically significant reduction in body fat
• The P57 group had a statistically significant reduction in caloric intake
• The P57 had no adverse side effects

On average the P57 group ate about 1,000 calories a day less than those in the control group. To put that in perspective, the average American man consumes about 2,600 calories a day; a woman about 1,900

WERE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS FROM TAKING HOODIA OR P-57?

There have not been any side effects reported from eating Hoodia or from taking the P-57 molecule. Remember, for thousands of years that Bushmen have eaten hoodia gordonii plants with no ill side effects.
People from all over the globe have attested the effectiveness of Hoodia Weight Loss pills. So far, there has been no major side effect that has happened to any person that is taking Hoodia. At least nothing that is reported yet and the general public know of. It is safe to say that Hoodia diet pills have no harmful side effects that people should worry about.
First off, Hoodia weight loss pills contain natural ingredients. They contain no chemical ingredients that can be harmful and dangerous to the body. Hoodia plants are key ingredients. Most manufacturers want to keep Hoodia supplements pure and high quality to be more effective to help people with weight problems.

HOW CAN HOODIA GORDONII SUPPRESS APPETITE TO SUCH A GREAT EXTENT?

It is believed that Hoodia (and more specifically the p-57 in the hoodia) imitates the effect glucose has on nerve cells in the brain.
Basically, hoodia fools the brain into thinking it's full when it's not. So, your brain sends the signal that it is full and this cuts your urge to snack on unhealthy food. In fact, hoodia is more powerful than glucose in telling the brain that you are full.

Here is how Phytopharm's Dr Richard Dixey explained how P-57 actually works:
"There is a part of your brain, the hypothalamus. Within that mid-brain there are nerve cells that sense glucose sugar.
When you eat, blood sugar goes up because of the food, these cells start firing and now you are full. What the Hoodia seems to contain is a molecule that is about 10,000 times as active as glucose. It goes to the mid-brain and actually makes those nerve cells fire as if you were full. But you have not eaten. Nor do you want to."
-As reported by BBC News Correspondent - Tom Mangold - 5/30/2003

SO I WILL NEVER BE HUNGRY IF I EAT A HOODIA PLANT SUPPLEMENT?

Not exactly. We all need food to survive, when we feel hungry because we do not have enough food for the body to function this is called real hunger. You can not completely starve your body no matter how much Hoodia you eat. At some point your brain will figure out you do need food to function.
However, when you feel hungry because your insulin levels are bouncing all over the place, this is called hormonal hunger. It is this hormonal hunger which does in most people's diets. When our blood sugar levels spike and fall, we crave more sweets and carbohydrates. This is why you might crave ice cream at 3am.

The idea of Hoodia Gordonii is to use it to stop snacking because of hormonal hunger. You want to continue to eat meals when you have real hunger, but you want to eliminate all the snacking due to hormonal hunger. While hoodia can help eliminate both types of hunger, we feel it is unhealthy skip meals. The real advantage we see to hoodia is to eliminate cravings and snacks when you do not need to eat food.

WHAT MAKES HOODIA DIFFERENT?

Most diet pills and supplements work by trying to increase the rate at which our body burns fat. If you think about our body as a machine, calories provide the fuel. If you run the machine (body) hotter, faster and harder - you burn more fuel (calories). I think you can see the problem here - run any machine too hot and hard for long and you can have problems.

What makes Hoodia supplements so different is they really work to prevent weight gain. As much as everyone argues about which is better low carb or low fat - in the end losing weight is a simple equation. Take in less calories than you burn and you will lose weight. It is really simple math, you cannot gain weight if you consume less calories than you burn. Hoodia gives you a powerful weapon to fight hunger and therefore take in less calories. No need to run the body hotter or faster or harder, simply you consume less calories and therefore lose weight.

THE BEST WAY TO AVOID CHEAP, INEFFECTIVE HOODIA SUPPLEMENTS

It is well known that only Hoodia grown in the Kalahari Desert has been shown to have a strong appetite suppressant effect. Growing Hoodia Gordonii is a difficult and long process, so there is limited supply available from the Kalahari Desert.
For this reason, the execs at one of those companies found online would use Hoodia grown in Mexico, China or the US. This Hoodia would cost about 80% less than Kalahari Hoodia and of course would NOT suppress appetite, but they could still claim they had "100% real Hoodia in the bottle."

SO HOW TO AVOID HOODIA SCAM?

Knowledge is the key. Make sure that you are buying a high quality Hoodia. Hoodia should be 100% all-natural and not concentrated. Pure Hoodia pills are always more effective than supplements that may have powdered concentration with plant fillers. Make sure that you always check the label when buying Hoodia. The active ingredient for weight loss can only be found in its core and is usually processed as an entire plant. So if you see a product claiming it has Hoodia leaves extract, you would not be having as much weight loss benefits.

Real Hoodia Gordonii from the Kalahari Desert is expensive to grow, process and bottle. If a Hoodia supplement is very cheap, it is probably a fake.

Looking for a COA or CITES certified Hoodia products can also assure you that you are getting quality weight loss pills. You can check the label for any certification seal or lab-test approval.

Hoodia is a protected plant, which means you need a permit to export Hoodia. CITES (the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) issues permits to a few companies that are legally allowed to export Hoodia.

BUYER BEWARE
With all the media surrounding Hoodia (60 Minutes did a feature piece in Nov 2004) it did not take long for sleazy supplement companies to come out with their "World's Best - As Seen on 60 Minutes - Hoodia Supplements". Each year people spend over $40 billion on products to help them lose weight. Many companies have seen dollar signs flashing in their heads when they read about Hoodia. These companies will throw anything in a capsule, call it 100% Hoodia and sell it cheap. By the time it is tested and found to contain no Hoodia, these companies have gone out of business or changed names.

Though hoodia has been around for thousands of years, it is the latest craze in diet products now. This plant is recommended for people who overeat and need to control their appetite between meals. Decide for yourself if hoodia is right for you. However, as with any good diet intentions, don’t get carried away - be sure to maintain three balanced meals a day.

Appetite Suppressants and Weight Loss

2010-03-03T11:48:00.014Z

Appetite suppressants are a key and essential component of an effective weight loss program. They work by decreasing your appetite and making you feel full faster. They act on a center in the brain called the satiation center that controls feeding trigger. The brain thinks you have eaten recently and delays the signal to eat again. The eating frequency drops and results in a reduced calorie intake. These simply help prevent overeating. In conjunction with exercise, appetite suppressants can help you lose weight.

Exercise and eating the right foods are instrumental as well, but if you are hungry all of the time you will likely eat more than you should. And even if you are eating the most healthy of foods, without appetite control your weight loss goals could remain a pipe dream.

"Imagine you have a garden at the back of your house which you really did not take care of. Sure from time to time you would pass the lawn mower over it to stop it from turning into a forest but that was it. It was mostly full of weeds and hardly any grass and definitely no flowers. One day you decide you would like to have the most beautiful garden in your neighbourhood, more beautiful than Mrs Robertson's garden next door. She had the most beautiful garden but then again she worked on her garden also every day. Without learning anything about gardening, you do what you have always done, mowed the lawn and straight away start planting seeds and flowers. "Now let's see who would have the most beautiful garden" you think to yourself as you stand back to admire your work. Sure enough a couple of weeks down the line and surprise, surprise. What is growing in your garden again? WEEDS. Why? Because you failed to prepare the ground for your seeds. Even though you had mowed the lawn that only got rid of the weeds from the surface and not from its roots. The roots of the weeds in your garden where still alive and well underneath the soil and unless you uproot them and kill them off one by one, weeds would always grow in your garden. "

It is the same with using appetite suppressants and slimming pills for weight loss. They will help you to control your appetite and lose weight fast and efficiently - easy to take, many are natural and many do not require prescription by the doctor. But a sensible diet and exercise program is necessary to keep the weight off, but these weight loss solutions can give you a good head start.

Make permanent changes to your lifestyle!

The most effective way to do this is to:
- Reduce the amount of calories you eat
- Increase your levels of activity

You should think of weight loss in terms of permanently changing your eating habits. While weight-loss goals are usually set in term of weeks, the end game is to sustain these changes over months and years, i.e. lifestyle change for life.

Hoodia has received much publicity, and has been called the best weight loss diet pill by many celebrities including Oprah. It is claimed to be a highly effective appetite suppressant. The hoodia plant has been used for thousands of years by South African Bushmen to ward off hunger and thirst. But it was only recently studied scientifically, and its active ingredient isolated and used in diet pills.
Hoodia Gordonii is the oldest and most widely used method of controlling appetite on earth. Often surrounded by controversy and untruth, Hoodia Gordonii remains the biggest selling diet pill genus or weight loss tablet product the world has ever seen.

Little Black Dress Hoodia Gordonii is a 100 % natural product, manufactured at the edge of the Kalahari Desert in Namibia and grown organically under natural conditions without the use of chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers.

Take before and after photos. As your losing weight take photos of yourself to remind you how well you’re doing, or use the Adios body double to visually track the weight you’re losing.

Look forward to something. Instead of thinking about how much weight you want to lose, have something to aim for like a wedding or a holiday – it’s more realistic and gives you a reason to keep going.

Enjoy your food. You'll have a better chance of slimming if you don't try to change your diet suddenly and completely - just try cutting down on the worst offenders.

Be creative. Don’t ban foods – just look online for low calorie recipe versions of your favourite meals instead – check out our latest seasonal recipes for inspiration.
Treat yourself. Set yourself mini weight loss targets and as you reach them, treat yourself with a little reward like some new accessories or even just a new nail polish.

Stock up on veg. You'll have a better chance of slimming if you don't try to change your diet suddenly and completely - just try cutting down on the worst offenders.

Don’t go food shopping when you’re hungry, you’ll end up buying too much and choosing the wrong things – it will spoil your good intentions and you’ll end up wasting food.

Lose the leftovers! Don’t be tempted by leftover food from the festive season – share out snacks, biscuits and chocolates at work or give them away as gifts.

Drink plenty of water or other calorie-free beverages. People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. So you can end up eating extra calories when an ice-cold glass of water is really what you need.

Think about what you can add to your diet, not what you should take away. Start by focusing on getting the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

Consider whether you're really hungry. When you're done eating, you should feel better -- not stuffed, bloated, or tired. Hunger is your body's way of telling you that you need fuel, so when a craving doesn't come from hunger, eating will never satisfy it

Be choosy about nighttime snacks. Mindless eating occurs most frequently after dinner, when you finally sit down and relax.

Enjoy your favorite foods. I think putting your favorite foods off limits leads to weight gain because it triggers 'rebound'. Instead of cutting out your favorite foods altogether, be a slim shopper. Buy one fresh bakery cookie instead of a box, or a small portion of candy from the bulk bins instead of a whole bag.

Eat several mini-meals during the day. If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. But when you're hungry all the time, eating fewer calories can be challenging.

Eat protein at every meal. Protein is more satisfying than carbohydrates or fats, and thus may be the new secret weapon in weight control. Getting enough protein helps preserve muscle mass and encourages fat burning while keeping you feeling full. So be sure to include healthy protein sources, like yogurt, cheese, nuts, or beans, at meals and snacks.

Spice it up. Add spices or chilies to your food for a flavor boost that can help you feel satisfied.

Stock your kitchen with healthy convenience foods. Having ready-to-eat snacks and meals-in-minutes staples on hand sets you up for success. You'll be less likely to hit the drive-through or call in a pizza order if you can make a healthy meal in 5 or 10 minutes.

Eat foods in season. If you don't love certain fruits or vegetables, it could be because you ate them out of season when they have little taste or flavor

Swap a cup of pasta for a cup of vegetables. Simply by eating less pasta or bread and more veggies, you could lose a dress or pants size in a year.

Use non-food alternatives to cope with stress. Sooner or later, you're going to be faced with a stressful situation. Instead of turning to food for comfort, sass suggests reading a few chapters in a novel, listening to music, writing in a journal, practicing meditative deep breathing, or looking at a photo album of loved ones.

Be physically active. Although it may seem counter intuitive, don't use exercise either to punish yourself for eating or to "earn" the right to eat more. When you do, it sets up a negative thought pattern, which is why so many people say they hate to exercise. Instead, focus on how great you feel, how much better you sleep and how much more energy you have when you exercise. Physical activity is good for you whether you are trying to lose weight or not, so keep it positive and build a lifelong habit.

Exercising in conjunction with a weight loss supplement and a good diet will guarantee the fastest weight loss for you.

DO NOT exceed the recommended dosage for weight loss supplements. There is a recommended dosage for a reason.
