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.

6 Factors to Consider If You Want to Buy the Best Home Exercise Equipment

By Thong M. Dao



Buying the best home exercise equipment is not as easy as you might think. In fact, you have to consider a lot. Here are some important factors to think about when making a decision.

1. Decide your target. The whole procedure of choosing which kind of workout equipment is good for you and how much you have to spend for this depends on what targets you want to achieve along with your actual physical fitness level. Therefore prior to choosing 1 or restricting yourself to which elliptical trainer or treadmill is good for you, ask yourself, "What do I need to accomplish?" Do you want to boost your cardiovascular wellness? Do you prefer to build up strength? Do you like to increase your energy? Those questions, if responded immediately would direct you to discovering which kind of equipment you truly need.

2. How much can you invest? You have to determine how much you can pay for your equipment. The prices vary. A treadmill costs anywhere from $1500 to $3500, an elliptical trainer from $2000 to $5000, a stationary bike from $500 to $1000. Don't forget "you get what you pay for", thus look at everything: features, usability and affordability.

3. Space. Never forget to test the equipment and estimate how much room it takes up. This is something that's not paid enough attention. You may not tell if the equipment can fit into your room at home when you're at a large store. So take this into consideration.

4. Take a look around. It's not really wise to settle in the first store. Visit other stores and compare to find the best home exercise equipment. You should also do some research on the Internet to get informed of the product you want to buy. Find product reviews if possible.

5. Ward off being deceived. Folks can do whatsoever to sell. Thus when you view advertisements that are too good to be true, be careful, because they generally are. "Before" and "after" pics could be so enticing, however think about it, miracles don't occur overnight.

6. Investigate all the cost. Installation, transportation, and added charges are frequently neglected. So be sure you know all the cost and are willing to pay off the final amount for your best home exercise equipment.
