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.

Does Tea Speed Up Metabolism

By Jared Rothe

For thousands of years the Chinese have drank tea. They drink it for all sorts of reasons for medicinal purposes or for just pleasuer. There are many different types to teas: black, oolong, green, red, white, jasmin, etc.. Tea will help you to lose weight and reduce stress levels. Many are also wondering if tea increases your metabolism.

Tea has many benefits and one certainly is that increases your metabolism. The metabolic rate will increase tremendously to help you burn more calories during your day. This will help you shed pounds and in addition when you drink tea it reduces your appetite so you won't be hungry as often.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition does studies on weight loss. One particular study they did dealt with green tea as a supplement to your diet. They found that the individuals who drank tea burned 30-40 percent more calories than those who didn't drink tea. There was even one study that compared two particular individuals of the same weight classification. The one who drank tea lost double the amount of weight as the one who didn't drink tea.

So the question again is, does tea speed up your metabolism? The answer is yes. It has been proven to help speed up metabolism. It is a drink that is also rich in antioxidants. There have been many studies on green tea and it has been shown that those who are dieting can benefit even more with green tea. In November1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a result of study on green tea in Geneva Switzerland. Researchers found that people taking only caffeine were not loosing as many calories as those using green tea.

Many teas have different levels of antioxidants and different amounts of minerals. But think about adding some oolong tea, green tea, or any other form of tea to your diet if your wanting to lose weight and drink something healthy for your body.

There are other benefits of drinking tea such as protecting your body from dangerous heart diseases and cancer. So drink tea to protect your body and health.
