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.

Speed Up Your Metabolism. It Can Be Done.

By Peter Dawson

One of life's most frustrating and lifelong experiences can be losing weight.

There can be a whole minefield of mood swings and diets and failures and successes. But there is often little attention paid to one of the most important factors in losing weight, your metabolism. Probably because there's no money to be made selling products to help you speed your metabolism.

Or, to be more specific, speeding up your metabolism. Lets look, firstly, at what metabolism is, and then at why speeding it up can be the best thing you can do for your weight loss routine.

Some people think metabolism is a part of the body but it is in fact a body process, or to be accurate a series of processes. It is what turns food into energy.

It's a body process that runs all the time in the background and keeps turning your food into energy to run body processes.

Your body uses energy to fuel a range of body processes and this fuel comes from the calories in your food. If you have too much energy, or calories, your body stores this as fat.

The body can use the energy that it gets to either create energy/fat cells in your body, or to help break them down to release energy. These two processes are the opposite of each other. What you want your body doing is spending more time breaking energy cells down and less time creating more energy cells. The process of speeding up your metabolism changes the balance between creating more energy cells, and breaking them down.

Faster metabolism, more energy cells broken down.

And there are ways to increase how fast your metabolism runs. It takes some time and effort, it's not something you can organize with a phone call, but there are recognized ways to speed up your metabolism and therefore to increase your chances of successful weight loss.

You can't speed up your metabolism overnight. It takes some time, but doing so can be one of the very best things you could ever do for your weight loss program. The time and effort can be well worth while.

You get your body working for you rather than against you if you speed up your metabolism.

Metabolism is something that is ignored in most of what you read about losing weight. Why? There's no money in it. There's no premade meals to buy, no expensive courses to undertake. No profit. Just a simple solution to losing weight faster.

But even though you may not hear a lot about it speeding up your metabolism is one of the best things you can do for your weight loss program.

I've written a book about how to speed up your metabolism which you can get at my website.
