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.

2 Surefire Fat Burning Tips for Fast Weight Loss

By Frances Norah Smith

Our weight loss industry is filled with fads which promise to magically melt all your pounds away! We have fad diets which would help you lose the pounds within a couple of months, diet pills you simply need to pop daily in order to get slimmer, etc. In fact, there is no dearth of "magic weight loss products", though you will rarely hear about a product which magically boosts your metabolic rate!

I am not sure why everyone's not focusing on searching for ways to increase their metabolic rate, since it is the only key to weight loss success. In this article I will tell you how our metabolic rate influences our body weight and how you could use this tool to get rid of fat permanently!

Do you want rapid weight loss? How fast you would be able to lose weight depends solely on your metabolic rate. If you have a high metabolism, fast weight loss won't be impossible for you. On the other hand, with a slow metabolic rate you aren't likely to be successful in your weight loss goal. Now perhaps you are wondering how to boost your metabolic rate.

While we humans are blessed with natural metabolism which keeps us fit and healthy, it is often insufficient to help you with quick weight loss. If you want to burn fat quickly, you need to increase your metabolic rate to abnormal levels! There are diet pills which promise to skyrocket your metabolism in no time; however they come with several harmful side effects, not to mention that the metabolism boost you gain with their help is short-lived.

In my opinion the best technique to boost your metabolism naturally is by increasing your lean muscle mass. The more muscles you have, the higher your metabolic rate would be and the faster you would lose weight. Fortunately muscle building doesn't cost an arm and a leg; you can do it with the help of intense workouts!

Doing intense workouts on a regular basis would help you achieve rapid weight loss. These intense workouts may seem to be strenuous at first look, but unlike cardios, you need to do them only for 15-20 minutes each day. By spending as little as 20 minutes per day, you would be able to burn fat at a fast rate as well as build strong lean muscles at the same time. These lean muscles would help you burn fat even when you are not working out! So what are the best intense workouts for this purpose?

Undoubtedly, weight lifting comes to mind the moment I think of intense exercises. People wrongly believe that they need to do several low intensity reps using light weights in order to derive the maximum benefit from weight lifting. Truth to be told, the higher and shorter your reps are, and the heavier your weights, the quicker you would burn fat and lose weight. I would recommend that you do no more than 10-15 reps, but you need to make sure that the weights you use are heavier than five or six pounds!

Since you would be doing strenuous exercises, it is vital that you replenish your body by increasing your water intake. When your body remains hydrated at all times, you would find exercising much less strenuous, since water would help your body recover quickly from the strain of these workouts!

Also, water is itself a great metabolism booster as well as a powerful detoxifier that cleanses all toxins from our body. The minimum recommended water intake for a normal adult is about 8-10 glasses.
