Detox Diets – How Good & Useful Are They?

They idea behind a detox diet is cleansing. Naturally, healthy and refreshing are two things that go hand in hand out here.

 

For a diet that should be so simple there are a surprisingly large number of variations that are followed all over the world. Championed from the full-figured Oprah Winfrey to the lissome Gwyneth Paltrow, the detox diet has recently come under severe scrutiny.

 

Researchers have found reason to believe that a detox diet could be of considerable danger to the user, especially women who are lactating and are expecting. People recovering from surgery or are ill too are advised against following one.

 

A healthy weight loss diet sadly does not include a detox diet anymore, not with the unfeasible alternative it poses to the groups of people listed above.

Body Makeovers – Naturally Healthy


Body Makeovers came across a snippet the other day which laid a lot of emphasis on the effect of exercise on physical health.


While such studies can be easily dismissed as old news, this particular study is very noteworthy. Researchers conducting the study had obese and overweight adults participating. The focus was on a three-month period of regular exercise without much change in the diet.

Post-3 months, they realized that there was a significant drop in weight and waist sizes of the participants.

Further study proved that along with a rise in the protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), the individuals were observed to experience a fall in blood pressure. This resulted in them consuming fewer calories each day by default.

A very effective and healthy weight loss method I must say!

At Body Makeovers we understand the importance of keeping a healthy weight loss diet and personal training simple. Towards this end we have the 6 Week Body Makeover programme which has been proven to deliver spectacular results.

You won’t have to stay away from your favorite foods, because at Body Makeovers we will provide you with a personal weight loss trainer.

Popping Veins When You Exercise? No Reason To Worry

Last month Madonna was photographed with her veins standing out very prominently. Angelina Jolie too gets photographed very often with her veins on display. While they don’t look ugly, they certainly signify something – they exercise and are fans of healthy weight loss.

It may sound like a hasty conclusion I’m drawing because after all, bulging veins could be genetic or they could simply be varicose veins. But the ladies in question are well known for their more than ardent fascination for rigorous and demanding exercise.

So when you are exercising what do you do to reduce the appearance of these veins? Can they be avoided from popping?

Well, Body Makeovers knows for a fact that there’s no need to worry. In order for these veins to pop out your body’s fat mass needs to be well below 15 percent. It would be good to add at this point that Angie and Madonna are not exactly known for their wholesome approach towards food. They are hardcore dieters.

But then what about those who have a higher fat mass but also seem to have prominent veins? Some sadly, have genetics to blame. Others have their bodies undergoing a strained process of filtration where muscles swell and toughen up so much that the subcutaneous veins are pressured towards the surface of the skin.

After that it all depends on the subcutaneous fat present in the skin to appropriately cloak the presence or minimize the appearance of popping veins.

The Marie Antoinette Diet – Good For A Body Makeover?

The Sex and the City girls, who are always in the know about such trendy things brought the Marie Antoinette diet to the fore and made cupcakes the raison d'ĂȘtre.

Recently Heidi Klum gifted Victoria Beckham a year’s supply of cupcakes for her 34th birthday and started the trend all over again. Posh Victoria is being all nice and actually consuming all those calories and carbs.

But how good is the cupcake diet for healthy weight loss?

Dietitians think consuming cupcakes, for some people, are merely a glamour indicator. But for others they remind them of their childhood where such indulgencies were pandered to by grandmas and moms.

But in a study conducted last year by Charles Stuart Platkin, also known as the Diet Detective, an average Crumbs cupcake was found to contain as much calories as three slices of pizza. The exercise needed to burn out the ingested calories involves 6 miles of jogging. Looks like a lot of trouble for a simple cupcake.

But you can enjoy your favorite comfort food with the help of Santa Monica body makeovers. Our healthy weight loss diet and weight loss personal training plans help you work out what’s right for your body and what’s not.

Join up with Body Makeovers for an exhilarating healthy weight loss exercise and diet plan.
