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.

Don't Buy Ab Exercise Machines

By Alicia Brooks

Have you seen thousands of ads for ab exerciser machines like I have? If you watch television I'm sure the answer to that question is yes. They are hard to avoid.

These ads give the false impression that you will lose your belly fat by doing abdominal exercises using one of their machines. The truth is that's just not how things work. Sure, you may gain some muscle in your midsection with this approach but you will not burn belly fat.

The body does not work like this. It is impossible to target fat in a particular part of the body by exercising that part of the body. Our bodies hold onto additional fat in a particular part of the body (such as the midsection) due to our genes and our genes can't be changed.

The real key to getting the midsection of your dreams is definitely not doing abdominal exercise in order to build additional ab muscle. The lack of muscle is not the problem. The problem is the flab covering up those muscles!

Since the goal should be burning the fat off your midsection the real way towards an amazing looking stomach is to start a dieting program that includes the "day off calorie spike" concept. Why? Because a calorie spiking day off from dieting will boost the metabolism.

The Day Off Diet is the easy choice for an online diet plan which boosts the metabolism for burning fat fast. Not only does it burn fat faster than other diets, it's also very easy to follow and stick with.

Your time and your resources are far better spent with a great dieting program like The Day Off Diet than they are with a ridiculous ab exercise machine. Make sure you make your choices wisely.

You should also make exercise a part of your life of course. But I recommend starting a heavy strength training routine instead of the kind of low impact exercise that most people waste their time with. And that goes for both men and women.

The results from doing just thirty minutes of heavy duty strength training are usually much more impressive than doing ninety minutes of low impact conditioning.
