Size-less And Skinny:

Victoria Beckham is both, no doubt about it. Look at her- she doesn’t have a spare ounce of fat on her. When Daily Mail columnist Claire Coleman tried to don her threads and walk her walk, this was confirmed.

But Victoria Beckham is actually a size four according to UK standards, which in the American way of speaking is, no surprises here, size zero! According to medical and fitness experts, a size zero body measurement is equivalent to an average eight-year-old’s body which is basically without any curves and all straight lines and angles.

The best way to get such a body is indulging in some heavy duty starvation, but then you really wouldn’t enjoy the results of such a routine, mainly because you might not be around to enjoy it.

Studies have found that at least one in five people who suffer from anorexia nervosa die from the illness. The sad part about it is that they don’t realize they are gripped by this particular disorder.

Looking good is important, more so than looking starved, and ironically, Victoria herself insists that the models that showcase her clothing line are more ‘natural looking’. She may be thin herself, but she sure knows where to draw the line for her audience.

If you have a thin frame but are not satisfied with it, get in touch with Body Makeover Systems. We have customized healthy weight loss diets that work wonders for your frame without demanding a starvation plan. Look slim and fit rather than thin and starved.

Toning down from a massive 20 stone to a slim and trim 9 stone sounds like the stuff that dreams may be made from, but 28 year old singer Jodie Prenger has gone ahead and accomplished what seemed to be the impossible!

According to research, 6 million men suffer from depression in the U.S and are four times more likely to commit suicide compared to women. Emotional welfare is an area that is rather hard for men to deal with as opposed to physical well-being.

Men, agreeably, find it easier when confronted with a bad cold or a low sexual drive and are known to slip into a ‘mood’ when confronted with any kind of emotional upheaval.

Overcoming Body Dysphoria At Body Makeovers:

Medical experts describe individuals suffering from body dysphoria as viewing themselves with a ‘distorted perception of reality’ and term it as an ‘attitude disorder’. Fitness experts view it as a red alert for eating disorders.

Plainly speaking, when a person suffering from body dysphoria views himself/herself in a mirror, what they’ll see looking back at them is a thinner or fatter version of themselves. While women and especially young teenage girls are known to exhibit signs of body dysphoria, men too have fallen victim to this physical and mental delusion.

At Body Makeover Systems, we believe that accepting the person you are is the first step to recovery from such a condition. We have applied a lot of thought into the healthy weight loss personal training programs and Body Makeover regimes.

Body Makeover Systems has been in the healthy weight loss business for more then three decades and has solved an astonishing number of weight problems and self-esteem issues.

At Body Makeover Systems, we not only help you develop a new body, but also give you the power to develop your self-esteem.

Nearing Fifty And Still Want To Look Great? Read On:

Imagine being 47 years old and still fitting into the high-waist, fitting trousers you wore when you were a cool 21. Wouldn’t it be fabulous! Well, Carol Vorderman, the presenter of Countdown was feeling just that when she realized that her old clothes still fit her.

And then there is Madonna, the high-priestess of pop who looks buffed, toned and very fit on the cover of her new album Hard Candy. One can’t not include everybody’s perfect little ‘Desperate Housewives’ star, Marcia Cross on the list of fit 40 something celebrities.

These stunning stars and mothers (some of them) have their schedules filled with handy detox diets and power exercise routines. Everything from laxative teas to the celebrity-friendly Atkins diet has been prescribed by numerous personal trainers and dietitians.

When Exercise Takes The Mickey Out Of You:

The Daily Mail featured a rather hilarious piece the other day. The news piece showed former Big Brother star Jade Goody in various states of exercise. While her decision to go ahead with good old fashioned exercise rather than surgery is commendable, she certainly looks the worse for wear.

If Miss Goody had heard about the Original Six Week Body Makeover at Body Makeover Systems she would no doubt have had the going a lot better. Our very effective body makeover plan sounds elaborate but is really quiet simple to follow.

The weight loss personal training experts we have at body makeover Los Angeles are highly trained and commendable. The diet plan that is customized specially for each client is monitored weekly in this healthy weight loss program.

The Skinny On Being Healthy:

Anorexia nervosa definitely hovers at the top of the list of horrors that parents hope to never surface in their children’s physical and mental makeup. At least one in 100 teenage girls in affluent countries is known to be affected by this disorder.

Anorexia is a condition that must be avoided and must be discouraged from the very start itself. While weight loss that has gone out of control (anorexia) is said to be prevalent among young adolescent girls, young boys are not known to suffer from this eating disorder as well.

Karen Carpenter of the Carpenters fame succumbed to cardiac arrest caused due to anorexia at the age of 32. Franz Kafka, the famous writer has been suspected to have suffered from a form of anorexia. Christy Henrich, who wanted to qualify for the U.S. Olympic gymnast team became anorexic and finally succumbed to organ failure at the age of 22.

This just goes to show that anyone can suffer from an eating disorder like anorexia. The best way to prevent this eating disorder is to recognize the symptoms from the start itself. Accepting the problem is the first step to treating the problem and at Body Makeover Systems, we can help you or your child come to terms with this problem.

For children that are obese or severely under-weight we have specially formulated healthy weight loss regimes and nutritional programs that check and enhance the child’s diet respectively.

For adults we have various healthy weight loss diet and weight loss personal training procedures that can help check anorexia. Get to know more at Body Makeover Systems.

That Feel Good Feeling…:

The stress surrounding cut-throat competition in the boardroom somehow finds a way to seep into life outside the workplace. To severe ties with this all-pervading tension, individuals turn to a variety of activities like fishing, massages, cycling, scuba diving and even kick-boxing.

Till date however, the solace offered in a spa retreat tops the relaxation lists of almost any individual. “Take time to smell the flowers” can be said to be the universal anthem of any spa retreat worth its existence.

The Importance Of Being A (Healthy) Child:

Michael Thurmond Body Makeovers and children have an association that can be traced back to the very origins of our organization. Teenage children who came from homes that couldn’t string expenses together or were from single parent homes in the northern Californian area of Russian River were the early wards of Michael Thurmond.

Physical destitution when coupled with a lack of mental stimulation can be very detrimental to the growth of a child, especially so for a teenager. Exposure to unhealthy eating habits and lack of proper education about nutrition and life-skills are factors that contribute to obesity and may even result in an individual being under-weight.

It is important to build immunity to epidemics and diseases and resistance to environmental pollution in order for a growing child to develop properly. Michael Thurmond recognized these essential requirements and fostered them in his wards. He formulated a plan that not only looked after the basic fitness of these children but also emphasized the need for setting positive goals and planning the future.

Building a developing teenager’s self-esteem and encouraging them to a healthy way of living were given equal importance. Today, the Children’s Program at Body Makeovers Systems has been successful in empowering thousands of children to discover themselves and respect the individuals they are.

If you know of or have children of 14 year’s of age and above whom you wish to benefit from our special Children’s Program, you can visit Body Makeover Systems in Santa Monica, CA.

Athletic Body Makeover – Deprivation-free Fitness:

A sport is generally defined as a physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sportsmen or athletes as the participants are called are the individuals who are the most important component of any sport.

Acute physical endurance can be said to be the hallmark and a requirement of any athlete. At Body Makeover Systems, we understand this vital point and have therefore developed the Athletic Body Makeover programme for aspiring as well as veteran athletes.

Most fitness and training programs that are prescribed for an athlete involve extremely rigorous health plans and fitness options. At Body Makeover Systems this is not the case. Your Personal Trainer Los Angeles makes getting back in shape and staying so a cakewalk.

Our nutritional and healthy weight loss diet is optimized to get your body back in shape without depriving athletes of the amount of food required to sustain and build endurance. Whether you are a boxer, a basketball player, a wrestler, a curling player or even a triathlon athlete, Michael Thurmond Body Makeovers help you build your stamina quickly with the help of the Athletic Body Makeover.

Drop by at Body Makeover Systems today for a quick walkthrough and a new way to staying fit.

When Dieticians Spoil Your Appetite:

Technically, diets are not really factors that trigger eating disorders, but rather it’s the severity of a particular diet that leads to them. Research has shown that women who diet rigorously are 18 times more likely to develop eating disorders and those who diet on a normal level are five times more likely to suffer from a disorder.

Diets are good, there’s no doubt about it; but they have to be formulated by an expert like a dietician and controlled religiously by the person who is following it. At Body Makeover Systems, we chart out customized eating plans for each person that ensures maximum and healthy weight loss.

What’s more, we also offer nutritional support for six weeks if you are part of the Nutrition Only Body Makeover plan. We believe in providing our clients with foods that are rich in nutrients and eliminate any food that uses preservatives or fillers in the menu.

Denominators like sex, age and ethnicity are unimportant and are simply not considered when we formulate eating plans. We encourage our clients to eat foods that are filled with nutrients throughout the day, in proportion.

At Body Makeover Systems we invite guests to take part in fixing their individual menu with the guidance of the Spa Body Makeover Director of Food & Beverage. Every care is taken to make our clients feel as comfortable as possible with the food they are eating and the part they play in the decision-making process.

Body Makeover Systems’ diet Los Angeles is truly customized and appetizing. Visit us today for a look.

Beautiful Bodies - The Secret’s Out!

One simply has to take a look at art, especially art that depicts humans as gods, and perfection seems real enough to touch and feel. The best depiction of the human anatomy I have seen to date is the famous fresco “The Creation of Adam” by Michelangelo. Till date, it never fails to instill a sense of pulsating vitality in my mind.

But the human mind appreciated physical perfection even earlier than the Renaissance artists. A look at primitive cave art shows that there is nothing remotely primitive about their idea of the human body.

While artists around the world and down the ages loved marrying beauty with perfection in their masterpieces, society rigorously tried every method to do the same. So they came up with flour caked faces, pummeling the body into unnatural shapes, garments that tried to do the last and the like.

Thankfully, society has journeyed deep into the 21^st century and far from the ancient ways and today’s artists are personal trainers, dieticians, fitness instructors, cosmetologists, beauticians and the like.

The human body is the canvas and is treated as more aesthetically arresting than a work of art. Michael Thurmond, the founder of Body Makeover Systems Inc. is one such artist.

The inventor of the original body makeover system for children, working men and women, housewives and professionals, Michael Thurmond’s philosophies have been the back-bone of this prestigious organization.

Ever since the late 1970’s Body Makeover Systems has been helping obese, underweight and exercise ignorers get a body that is fit and healthy. The life-changing extreme makeover and healthy weight loss diet plans formulated are safe ways to lose weight and tone the body.
