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.

Getting Real With Cellulite Removal Strategies

By Doreen Clay

Of course having some unsightly areas of cellulite is not a matter of life and death, but to some people it almost seems that it is this important. Cellulite can create anxiety, depression and problems with feelings of self worth. These lumpy, annoying areas of dimpled skin are often seen on thighs, hips, glutes and the buttocks. Cellulite removal strategies are possible and they should be considered before the appearance and amount increases. Some people choose to have surgical procedures like liposuction done to remove their cellulite. This can be dangerous to your health and results are not guaranteed. Surgery is also expensive. There are also all sorts of formulas and drugs that are offered to help reduced cellulite. For most people all they want is a healthy and safe way to remove cellulite that will really work. Luckily there are some natural alternatives for cellulite removal that you can use to improve your health and body appearance.

Without a doubt, the most common natural methods for cellulite removal center on diet and exercise. This is because cellulite is a mass collection of fat deposits. Hence, if you burn up your excess calories, you will experience pronounced cellulite removal. Since diet and exercise is a broad generalization, let's narrow down what it encompasses.

Exercise is split into two spheres: progressive resistance exercises and cardio work.

Progressive resistance refers to lifting weights, cables, or elastic bands. Since there is gravity and tension on the item you are lifting, the process helps develop lean muscle mass. Since muscle requires more calories than fat to maintain its size, it will burn up stored fat. That means it will significantly aid in cellulite removal. And, no, you do not need to lift heavy weights. You can perform light weight exercises at high reps. It is also not necessary to hit the gym five days a week. Simply investing a mere two days working out will have a dramatic impact on cellulite removal.

It is important to mention that you should always work with weights in a manner that lets you exercise your entire body. You may want to do more exercise reps or use slightly heavier weights when you are trying to target the body part with the cellulite(such as the glutes or thighs) but do not neglect to work out all body parts which will help you create a well balanced, and toned physique.

Cardio- these exercises increase your heart rate and body temp to the optimal fat burning range. After 15 minutes of brisk cardio to get your heart rate up to your target goal you will begin burning fat cells for the next 45-60 minutes. You can do cardio once or more a day every day of the week without a problem. The more cardio you do properly the more fat cells you will burn and the more weight you will lose. You do not have to do any high impact aerobic cardio exercises like stepping, jumping or fast running. Any type of cardio can be effective if you exercise for at least 20-60 minutes during each session. You should do cardio at least 30 minutes a day 5 days a week for good results. If you do a cardio activity for 30 minutes to an hour twice a day for 6-7 days a week you can burn fat even faster and reduce more of your cellulite. You can ride a bike, skate, play tennis, walk briskly or do Yoga exercises as your cardio activity.

Cardio exercises are a great way to accomplish the cellulite removal you desire. The more you do, the more cellulite and fat will be removed naturally from your body. A proper exercise routine and a healthy diet will be necessary for you to actively remove cellulite deposits from your glutes, butt, abdomen and thighs. You need a diet that is balanced and gives you the fresh veggies, protein and nutrients to lose weight properly. Do not starve, but decrease your daily calorie intake to help you shed those pounds. Increasing your intake of vitamins, water and healthy fresh foods will help you lose weight and is a great boost to removing cellulite.

Cellulite removal is possible using a well designed program of diet and exercise that is balanced and healthy. This is not a quick fix, but it will get you better and longer lasting results than resorting to surgeries or dangerous drugs. If you are serious about banishing cellulite from your life it should begin with better eating and exercise routines.
