ATKINS Diet.

Dr Atkins was really on to something here. To bad he died and could not perfect it. The concept makes alot of sense. Atkin had to do with fluctuatios in blood sugar in our body. Known as the ” glycemic Index”. when we eat high carb foods our pancreas secrets insulin so our body can turn these carbs into energy.

The Premise was that dont eat carbs and our bodies won’t have spikes in blood sugars.

Well we all know our bodies need carbs to function correctly.But the trick is, eat good carbs only

Such as:

Veggies, whole grain breads, sweet potatos and yams, brown rices, whole grain and brown rice pastas, good oils such as olive oil and fresh fruits.

Avoid totally:

concentrated sugars, foods or drink with added sugars, white sugar, white flour, white breads, whilt rice and white potatos.

Of course we must add:

moderate excercise, and watch the calories

The fully clothed days of winter are behind us and now it’s time
to bare a little. Whether you’ll be wearing a bikini, thong, shorts
or if capris are as short as you go, you’ll want to know the fastest,
simplest way to remove hair and reveal smooth skin.

Hair removal is not the most pleasant of chores but one that must
be done. To get the best results here are some tips:

1. The first step in getting smooth, soft skin is to exfoliate
before you shave. Use a body scrub to get rid of dead skin and
curb ingrown hairs.

2. Shave at the end of your shower when hair is soft and
easy to cut. If you’ve been using a thick shaving cream switch to
a clear gel. A gel will make missed hair easier to spot.

3. To get the best and closest shave change your blade
frequently - after every 6 shaves.

4. For your first bikini wax seek out the services of an
esthetician. The bikini area is very delicate and if waxing is not
done properly you could end up with a bruise, in pain or both.
If after you have used a professional and want to try it yourself,
experiment on your legs first.

5. To avoid skin irritations do not leave a depilatory on for too long
and don’t go out in the sun after hair removal since the skin will
be extra sensitive.

Looking great is about the total look - hair - grooming
clothing choices- accessories- and the presentation. It is
a step-by-step process that can be learned and will change the way you feel.

For Heavy Top

- Wear tops with a loose fit, slimming down to hug the hips and waist.
- Go for thin fabrics, eg cotton or cotton jersey, which won’t add bulk.
- Create the illusion of length by sticking to one color, down to the shoes.
- Choose long jackets without shoulder pads.
- Try a pleated skirt to bring the eye down to your lower half, and don’t be afraid of shorter hem lengths.For Heavy Bottom

- Wear small shoulder pads.
- Wear dark pants or stockings.
- Experiment with vertical lines and patterns.
- Wear prints on top.
- Look for jackets, tailored suits and shirtwaist dresses tappered at waist.

For not so-curvy bodyline

- Add dimension with patterns.
- Try loose flowery clothing and draw attention towards your face with colorful earrings and scarves.

For hourglass bodyline

- Wear fabrics that show off your figure by draping loosely.
- Emphasize your waist with a belt.
- Show off some cleavage with a V-neck.
- Celebrate your curves. Lots of women would love to be voluptuous. I, for one, encourage you to flaunt it (at the level you feel comfortable doing so, of course.)

For Slenderizing All Bodyline

- Stand tall, elongate your neck, and square your shoulders. Good posture and proper breathing are two of the quickest ways you can look and feel good.

- Instead of covering your neck with turtleneck tops and sweaters, which can make your face look wider, opt for V-neck tops and dresses that enhance your facial features.

- Straight legged pants tend to create a leaner look than flared bell-bottoms.

- If you are 5 feet 4 and under, look for dresses that hit just below the knee.

- Empire waists create a clean, elongated look.

- Experiment with eye-catching jewelry and accessories.

- To create the illusion of length, think monochromatic. If you have a black outfit, for example, and you wear a white belt, you have just broken the smooth, lean line and created the illusion of bulk. To minimize this effect, wear a dark belt and dark stockings with a dark outfit. Of course, it’s no fun to dress all in one color (unless it’s fuschia), so this is one rule that’s meant to be broken. You can add funky accessories, such as handbags and shoes, while maintaining the illusion of length.

- Be careful with pleated pants, which tend to add bulk to the mid-section.

- Try an A-line. A-line dresses have always been at the top of the list for hiding those areas that cause the most concern for women.

- When choosing a swimming suit.
There are lots of chic styles available now that come with a skirt. If you feel more comfortable concealing your hips and thighs, do so. I started wearing a skirted suit years ago, and I love no longer feeling self-conscious at the pool or the beach. Plus, it gives me the flexibility to be active in my suit (which usually entails chasing my kids) without worrying about exposing myself.

- Wear proper undergarments.
There was a time when women had great difficulty finding appropriate-sized bras, but today there is a wide variety of sexy undergarments for all women who want to feel sensuous and comfortable. Plenty of specialty stores will help you find just the right bra or even have your bra custom sized. Undergarments that fit right will make all the difference in your look, and they can really help you to feel more comfortable in the skin you’re in.

First write a list of the common foods you normally eat. Purchase a calorie counter book or look online ( calorie counter.com) . At the end of every day total the??calories, carbs, fats??consumed etc. Keep a runing tab for the week.Multiply you body weight by 15. This sum is the calorie intake your body needs to maintain its weight.?? Anything more will result in weight gain and anything less will result in weight loss. Its really that simple. Of course there are other factors involved, but the primary factor is calorie intake.

to lose weightDid you know that lack of confidence and low self-esteem are two of the biggest threats to success when it comes to making positive changes to your health and looks?

The thing is if you don’t value yourself enough you will never make the effort to break the habits which are making you unhealthy and overweight.

If you feel sub-consciously that you are not worth it, you will quickly give up any serious attempt at weight loss and will carry on eating too much or not taking exercise because you feel, deep down, your current state is all you deserve.

But is being overweight and unfit good enough for you?

Of course it’s not. We ALL deserve to enjoy good health, fitness and a weight which suits our height and build. Why would anyone deserve any less?

But, if you are not as healthy and slim as you’d like to be and you are not doing everything in your power to change that situation then evidently you do not think that you are worth the effort.

It’s a sobering thought isn’t it?

Maybe you thought your lack of confidence and self-esteem was due to not being in shape - if only you were thinner you imagine you would feel better about yourself. And chances are you will feel better. But you will only get there if you start to feel worthy in the first place!

So how to you go about getting that elusive confidence and self-esteem when you don’t have enough?

Of course this subject could fill a whole book and we can’t cover everything in this article but here are three useful tips to get you started and which will go a long way towards increasing your confidence and self-esteem as well as helping you lose weight.

1. Success in Small Steps

Success breeds success they say. Yet what do we do but set ourselves up for failure time after time by taking on grandiose plans to change our lives in one fell swoop. And of course we don’t succeed. It’s too much too soon. And each failure strikes another blow at our self esteem. Change is difficult for everyone so give yourself the best possible chance of success by making changes one step at a time.

And if you do fall by the wayside now and again remind yourself that you are a human not a robot and it’s perfectly Ok to take two steps forward and one step back. As long as you are learning from your mistakes, you can still hold your head high.

2. Act as If

Treat yourself and behave as if you had already arrived at your target weight and level of fitness. Take care of your body. Look after your hair and skin. Wear clothes which fit. Look the world in the eye and smile (even if you’re shaking inside).

You’ll be amazed at how the world will respond - you are showing that you value and respect yourself and the world will treat you accordingly - with the respect and consideration you give yourself.

3. Be Clear

Be clear about what you want for yourself - if you do not know you can easily waver from your goal. And once you have set your sights firmly on what you want make it clear to others by your words and actions that you mean business.

It’s when you say you want to lose weight and then don’t follow through that people feel free to sabotage your efforts by trying to get you to eat all sorts of things you can do without and to skip your work-outs. They treat your efforts as a joke because you do!

If you are clear and firm with them and you follow through with your actions they are more likely to back off and let you do as you wish after a while. They will see you are serious this time and will respect you more for it. Be clear about what you want and act as if you mean it.

These three steps will create a confidence cycle which will make all the difference to your weight loss efforts. The more you do them the more confident you feel and the more confident you feel the more success you will have.

Know in your heart of hearts you deserve to achieve the shape and fitness level you want - because you do!

Both of you should support each other and help each other in obtaining your weight loss goals. You will never feel lonely and bored in the company of your friend. It is my personal experience that we can achieve biggest of targets with the help of our friends which we alone cannot even imagine to fulfill.
  4. Give some time to exercise. It is not going to take hours to exercise. What you have to do is give 30 or 40 minute to exercise.
  5. Avoid drinking soda as much as you can and replace that by water.
  6. Avoid breads, cereals and pasta in your food.
  7. Never skip the breakfast
