P.O.R.N. Diets

I am coining this term as I feel some of the diets out there are so radical they need to be discussed in one place.

We here from our favorite celebrities daily and some of us live for this. We follow them on Twitter, talk about them on Bebo and MySpace or e mail each other about them especially when a new diet is talked about.

There have been some over the top radical diets in the past like the 'Air diet', not a very popular one for obvious reasons unlike the 'Chocolate' diet. Then there is the more main stream 'Atkins' diet or 'The Dash Diet' or even 'The South Beach Diet'. All have there plus and minus points and their advocates and nay sayers as well.

The trick when it comes to diets if there is a trick in selecting one would be to thoroughly research the topic. The mere fact that there literally are thousands of diets commercially available shown on television, billboards or even your local Chemist shop.

Here will be many, many articles pertaining to the topic of P.O.R.N. Diets circulating our media and your opinion on them is most welcome. Maybe you have been on one and would like to praise it or maybe warn others away from it. Whatever you may like to share, diet related, please do.

Sleep Better With The Acai Berry Diet

By Dana Hawkes

The acai berry diet has been credited with a number of things, but did you know that one of the claims made on its behalf is that it has the ability to help people sleep? It might sound a bit strange, but the fact of the matter is that it is true. You can add improved sleep to the long list of accolades that the acai diet has been able to accrue over the relatively short period of time that it has been in use in the First World.

It is largely anecdotal and with little scientific backing, but there are a handful of studies out there that show that the acai berry might have something to do with the improved sleep that people get when they are on the diet.

Specifically, there are two things that people claim to get counterpart their sleep when on the acai berry diet. First, they feel as though their sleep is far more restful at night, with relatively few interruptions and periods of waking when compared with what they would normally expect. At the same time, these people are also reporting that they wake up feeling far more refreshed thanks to the acai diet, a fact that does not necessarily follow since people that sleep better at night tend to wake up feeling better in the morning as well.

This particular claim is problematic, only because it is difficult to judge it. Specifically, the problem is in the area of knowing whether the sleep improvements are directly something that can be connected with the present of the acai berry, or rather a positive side effect of the weight loss and better fitness that people tend to have when they go on this particular diet. Even studies that have determined the sleep improvement correlation to be true have trouble with this fact because it is nearly impossible to tell which of those two factors are ultimately responsible for the sleep improvements.

At the end of the day though, it really doesn't matter which of those two cause better sleep. What matters is that the acai berry diet has been tied to a marked improvement in a person's sleep patterns and that is just one more reason why it is a worthwhile diet to try.
