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.

Watching TV Taught Me A Terrific Weight Loss Workout Plan

By Dan Beckwith

Many years ago, while watching television (one of those prime time teen soap operas), I saw something that was so fascinating that I remember it to this day.

As a motivator for your daily weight loss workout plan, I don't think I've ever run across anything better. I can't remember the name of the show or the name of the actors but I sure do remember this!

One of the teens was an athlete. He played on the high school football team as I recall. It may have been basketball. Anyway...one scene showed him in bed, sound asleep (getting enough sleep is important to weight loss too - but that's a discussion for another day) and the alarm went off.

Most of us hit the snooze button over and over, but not him! He reached out (with his eyes closed - apparently he doesn't like getting up any more than you do) fumbled around a few seconds until he found the switch to turn the alarm off.

Nothing very memorable yet, but it does get better.

As soon as he managed to turn off the alarm clock, he rolled out of bed. Be aware, that I am not using "rolled out of bed" as a figure of speech. I mean to say he literally rolled out of bed. He landed on the floor in a basic push-up position and then proceeded to crank out 10 quick push-ups.

Can you imagine a better way to get your heart started in the morning? Give this a shot, in no time it becomes addicting.

Let me throw in one quick aside though, be careful. You don't want to roll off the bed and hurt yourself. Feel free to get out of bed the way you normally do, and then get down on the floor for your push-ups.

I really don't like to exercise - and I assume you don't either! I find myself sitting around all day trying to talk myself into getting started. More often than not, I never get started it all. It's like the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about.

But, if we just automatically do it the instant we get up, like our intrepid teen, it quickly becomes just another part of your daily morning ritual.

Quickly do 10 push-ups, then you could possibly add in some crunches or jumping jacks. Then... well, I'm sure you know the rest.

Before you know it, and without all the normal mental anguish - your daily weight loss workout plan will be finished. Then, you are free for the whole day! You'll feel energized and just that much healthier.
