Fashion Weight loss Tips 101: Antioxidant-Rich Ingredients to Trim Your Waistline

by

Here are some more great fashion weight loss tips 101 for you. We all know that antioxidants are the new wonder foods. Sometimes these can be derived from fresh fruits or veggies that we consume daily. Other times they can be found in extracts from certain plants or seeds. The best part is that by introducing antioxidants to your diet, you can not only purge your body of toxins, but you can greatly boost your metabolic rate, your energy levels and your overall health and vitality. In short: Here are some great antioxidant-rich elements that you should consider adding to your daily intake.

Acai Berry: Is one of the World’s most powerful antioxidants. This extract has been shown to provide increased energy levels, improved sexual performance, improved digestion, detoxification, high fiber content, improved skin appearance, improved heart health, improved sleep, reduction of cholesterol levels and the ability to combat free radicals; cells that cause cancer.

Ashwagandha root: Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an herb that is used as a general tonic by helping the body adapt to stress. Additionally, this herb has been shown to possess powerful antioxidant activity as well as an ability to support a healthy immune system by showing strong antiviral properties.

Grapeseed Extract: Is a powerful antioxidant that contains polyphenol, which is a resveratrol, that has been shown to interfere with cancer cell growth and proliferation, as well as induce apoptosis, among a variety of potential chemopreventive effects.

Red Raspberry Seed: Is a powerful antioxidant that contains Ellagic acid which has been shown to have some anti-cancer properties. It can act as an antioxidant, and has been found to cause cell death in cancer cells in the laboratory. In other laboratory studies, ellagic acid seems to reduce the effect of estrogen in promoting growth of breast cancer cells in tissue cultures. There are also reports that it may help the liver to break down or remove some cancer-causing substances from the blood.

Fashion Weight Loss Tips 101: Dealing With Holiday Weight Gain (3 More Tips)

by

We have already made it through Thanksgiving, and I am sure that many of us have packed on some extra pounds of flab that we may not have wished to, and whenever we take a gander in the mirror, it stares convincingly back at us. The reality is that the dizzyingly exciting clamber of the holiday season is one that also perpetuates our marriage and ongoing love affair with foods. In this case: Calorie rich foods that tend to also be very high in fats. A well known fact is that most Americans, on average, tend to store around 5-10 pounds of excess fat each holiday season because of our rich tastes in holiday fares. Over the years gone by, one can easily understand why we get such large midsections from this endeavor. Heck, a few years of this and a person could find themselves forty or fifty pounds heavier, if they don’t do something about it. However, there are some simple fashion weight loss tips that you can incorporate, so that whenever Xmas rolls around you are not storing gallons of extra gravy in your tummy.

To Reiterate From my Last Post on This:

  1. Taking a break from work does not mean that you are on vacation from working out. That is as pure and simple as it gets. A lot of people will forgo their workout routine when they are on paid leave from work over the holidays. The easy solution: Don’t stop working out just because you get some nice vacation days off from work.
  2. Stick to your New Year’s Resolutions. Did you know that for ten years and running the number one resolution for Americans (well at least in the top five anyways) has been weight loss? The problem is that we often don’t follow through with this philosophy. So keep at it and you will be able to stay in shape.
  3. Use simple food tricks to avoid gaining weight over the holidays. Some experts advise that you can trick yourself by filling up on hearty and wholesome fares, like freshly cut veggies, prior to attending those lavish holiday dinners where you know you will have trouble refraining from eating a few slices of pie.

Here are some more helpful weight loss tips…

  1. Get a workout buddy. Fitness experts swear by having a friend to help you workout. With the buddy system you can work to motivate one another, you can be there for each other, you can act as a drill sergeant for one another, and you can share low fat recipes that are delicious. Why go it alone when you can get some help from a friend and lose weight together?
  2. Buy yourself a gym membership for Xmas. Seriously, if you are ready to lose weight, why not make that full commitment? Sign a one year contract at your local gym. This way you are mentally committing to a year of working out, or you will pay for something that you never use.
  3. Rethink the way that you eat. Incorporate raw foods and antioxidants into your diet, or look into nutritional supplements that do this. I found one called the Perfect Breakfast that’s great for this. Check it out at www.theperfectbreakfast.com – it’s clinically proven to help you lose weight, and it’s affordable and effective, too.

More Fashion Weight Loss Tips 101: Three Easy Ways to Banish Fats

by

I am back, and I have some more fashion weight loss tips to offer up to one and all. These are simple things, little changes that you can make with your eating habits that can truly offer you some serious results. They are really easy to do, and if you are serious about obtaining that waistline that you so desire, these changes are a must for all dieters who are seeking to successfully lose weight.

Choose Lower Fat Versions of the Same Foods

The easiest way, perhaps, to really cut down on the fatty foods you are eating can be accomplished by simply buying the same foods in low-fat versions. Many food producers are now making low-fat and light variants of the food products that you have grown to love. By simply changing some items on your grocery shopping list to these foods, you can greatly reduce your intake of fats and calories.

Substitute Fatty Oils and Butters for Healthier Alternatives

We are what we eat and the way we cook our foods reflects that. Instead of using fat loaded butters and cooking oils (like lard; yuck!), opt for oils like virgin olive oil instead. By making simple changes like this, you can greatly reduce the overall fat and calorie content of the foods that you are eating. Additionally, instead of frying foods, broiling them or baking them, try grilling meats, poultry and fish over an open flame. This way much of the fat is zapped by the flames licking at the meats as they cook.

Swap Junk Food and Fast Food for Heartier Fares

Junk food and fast food are some of the worst and fattiest of foods that you can consume. It’s no mystery why they are so bad for us. They are loaded with saturated fats and cholesterol and tend to be very high in calories. If you are trying to lose weight, chances are fair that you already have some undesirable pockets of fat on your body. When you ingest such fatty and calorie-rich foods daily, the first place that the fat train heads is to those areas—where the pointy fat cells mingle with their other fatty friends. Rather, make a wholesome sandwich, or eat cuts of veggies with a low-fat dipping sauce. Or enjoy great meals, like grilled chicken and white rice with a side of veggies.

Fashion Weight-Loss Tips 101: Behold the Power of the Thermal Seaweed Body Wrap

by

Once again, I return to the subject matter of weight loss and how it can greatly affect the fashion that you are looking to attain, and how it also can boost your overall confidence levels, not to mention allowing for you to fit into those skinny jeans you love, or that sexy skirt or blouse, or that saucy new top that you just got on sale for half off at the outlet store. But, if you have noticed, like I do, most retail fashion stores, and their clothing being offered there, don’t generally cater to plus-sizes.

However, if you have noticed that you have gone up a waist size or two over the past year or so, there are some simple tricks that you can employ that can literally zap off a few belt sizes. I aim to share one of them with you today, in a new section I am creating for this blog that I dub as: Fashion Weight-Loss Tips 101. Now on to business, and make sure to check back often, as I will be continuously adding more weight loss tips every week to help you out along the way.

Fashion Weight-Loss Tips 101: The Thermal Seaweed Body Wrap

So what is a thermal seaweed body wrap, and how does it work, and how does it help you to lose weight rapidly? Most day spas offer a body wrap like this for about $100, on average. They use a seaweed paste that they coat your body with and then wrap in a thermal layer of heated towels, generally placing you under heat lamps, or something similar for about an hour. The paste goes to work as you sweat out toxins and excess fluids, like toxins and fluids that are found in pockets of cellulite. Not only do these body wraps work wonders for your skin’s texture, tone and suppleness, but most people report dropping a belt size or two after their very first visit to the day spa.
