| Diet tips to help you on your diet | | Posted Monday, February 06, 2006 12:07:06 PM by Kate Grant | The best tip we can give you when it comes to diets, is don't start if you are not fully motivated. All the diet tips in the world will not help, if you feel miserable, and don't really want to change your eating habits. 
"Don't starve yourself" is another great diet tip we can give you. Starving yourself gives the body an indication that this is a stressful situation, and it should save whatever fat it has for bad times.
Your metabolism will slow down. So if you've been given this diet tip, ignore it. Everyone that's ever been on a diet for more than five minutes thinks they can give advice on how to lose weight.
They are full of diet tips and tricks, to help you on your way, and swear they helped them. But diet tips act only as a way to help you not to break down during the diet.
Sometimes reading the right diet tip at the right time, is what gives you the boost you needed to continue on your diet. This doesn't mean you can base your diet on diet tips alone, but it sure helps...

| | | Eating and exercise: Time it right to maximize your workout | | Posted Wednesday, December 27, 2006 2:52:26 PM by Blog57 Team | | Knowing when and how much to eat and drink before you exercise can make a big difference in how you feel during and after your workout. Here are some tips. When you eat and what you eat can affect your performance and the way you feel while you're exercising. Coordinate your meals, snacks and what you drink to make the most of your exercise routine. Eating a lot before exercise can slow you down When you exercise after a large meal, you may feel sluggish or have an upset stomach, cramping and diarrhea. That's because your muscles and your digestive system are competing with each other for energy resources. "Your body can digest food while you're active, but not as well as it can when you're not exercising," notes Stephen DeBoer, a registered dietitian at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.... | |

| | | Health hunter | | Posted Sunday, November 12, 2006 2:51:57 PM by Blog57 Team | | For Jo Benezra, the defining moment came two years ago after a family vacation to the Virgin Islands. She saw a photograph of herself, wearing a bathing suit and weighing 182 pounds. The picture said it all. `You've got to be kidding. Is this how I really look?' Benezra thought, vowing she would change how she looked. And she did. Since then, she has lost more than 50 pounds, dropped several dress sizes and taken up jogging with her husband, Cliff. The couple frequently travels, jogging through each new city they visit. It has made "a world of difference," she says. Seeing a picture of yourself was the catalyst for losing weight? That was when I got started, that day. I looked at that and said, `I'm not going to be 60 years and old and look like that.' You get older, but you don't have to be fat and frumpy.... | |

| | | Yobs 'should be sent to sin bins' | | Posted Monday, November 06, 2006 7:02:55 AM by Blog57 Team | | People who repeatedly flout anti-social behaviour laws should be housed in "sin bin" centres with tough rules and curfews, the Government's Respect tsar has said. Anti-social behaviour chief Louise Casey said she wanted to extend family intervention projects so they could also accommodate "chaotic" individuals. Some 50 "sin-bins" are currently being started up across the country, but they only cater for families who have a history of causing misery for their neighbours. Problem clans are moved out of their council houses and into the secure centres. Critics have claimed the boarding-school-style projects are nothing more than open prisons for people who have not been sentenced by the courts. But, in an interview with the Independent on Sunday, Ms Casey said she had seen evidence that the harsh regimes were effective.... | |

David Feldman, chief executive officer of lighting maker YLighting, has these tips for properly lighting a study space: • Position the lamp to the left of a right-handed person or to the right of a left-handed person. • Make sure the light beam falls on the working area and doesn't reflect onto a computer screen. • Buy an adjustable lamp. A cantilevered model that can be angled and lowered is ideal. • Clip-on spotlights are useful. They can be moved to wherever they're needed. • Adjust the level of lighting directed on the work in response to changing conditions. That will reduce eyestrain and fatigue.... | |
