Kim Kardashian Cellulite Pictures
Kim Kardashian's cellulite pictures are causing quite a stir. The one on the right has obviously been retouched. With the right kind of diet and exercise plan she wouldn't need photoshop as a friend. Kim and her sisters have used QuickTrim(link below) to achieve their latest results.
Thea Vidale
Thea Vidale was on Howard Stern this morning. Funny stuff. Here's one of her best standup routines. This woman would be well advised to lose weight like Valerie Bertinelli as shown in yesterday's post.
Especially since this incident occurred:
"On the February 6, episode of RAW Momma Benjamin attempted to interfere in Shelton's match with the Big Show, only to have the Big Show turn to her and scream in her face. After he turned back to finish the match (which he won), Momma Benjamin fainted to the ground prompting EMTs to rush to her side and wheel her backstage. The official WWE website later announced that she was resting at home after having suffered from a heart arrhythmia, which was what caused her to pass out. Momma Benjamin returned to Raw the next week, but with an oxygen tank attached to her wheelchair that started being used as a weapon, especially on the February 20 episode when she led Shelton to the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Momma Benjamin was mentioned for the final time on WWE television on March 13, with Shelton announcing to the crowd that she was having heart surgery, and had no plans to return to WWE."

Valerie Bertinelli Weight Loss
Valerie Bertinelli has lost enough weight that she now has the courage to pose for a magazine cover wearing a bikini. Pretty good for a 48 year old 5'4" woman who had ballooned up to over 170 pounds.
This goes to show you that anyone can lose weight and look good. Many middle- aged women mistakenly believe that they'll never get their figure back or will show stretch marks if they lose a lot of weight.

Calorie Restriction Diet Plan
Many medical experts are promoting the Calorie Restriction
Diet to help people substantially extend their lives and increase energy. Is it for you?
One of the most talked about diets in health is the calorie restriction diet. Many medical experts believe that calorie restriction diet is a major advancement in helping people to live longer with a higher quality of life. Additionally, the calorie restricted diet focuses on consuming calories that also provide high nutritional value.
What is Calorie Restriction?
Calorie restriction is when people eat fewer calories than are necessary to maintain their healthy weight. While the amount of calories eaten varies for each individual, most people who practice a restricted calorie diet tend to consume about 20% to 25% less calories than are recommended for someone of their size.
Unlike many fad diets or dieting plans, the restricted calorie diet involves making sure that each calorie has specific nutritional value. For example, someone who is dieting for the short-term may opt to eat one candy bar instead of an entire meal. With the restricted calorie diet, the participant would elect to consume only healthful, nutritious foods to reach their calorie count.
The History of the Restricted Calorie Diet
The medical community began taking notice of the restricted calorie diet when the diet was tested on animals. The scientific testing focused on insects and other animals with a tendency for short lives. While the results were not entirely clear, researches found that animals on restricted calorie diets did live longer than animals of the same species on normal diets. In addition to showing signs of living longer, animals who were on restricted calorie diets were less likely to develop diseases that are more common in older age, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Because long-term testing with animals with a longer life span could take decades, only limited research has been with animals who tend to live more than a few years. Though results in monkeys has shown to be promising, the results are only preliminary in nature.
The Benefits of the Restricted Calorie Diet
Though many medical experts promote the restricted calorie diet as a way to extend the years people live, there are other major health benefits that have been recorded in people who follow this diet plan. These health benefits include:
Positive changes in blood pressure
* Better heart rate
* Healthier cholesterol levels
* Lower body fat percentage
* Healthier blood sugar levels
The Drawbacks of The Restricted Calorie Diet
Though there are benefits to restricted calorie diets, there are also drawbacks and risks that are associated with following a new diet. Some of those drawbacks include:
* Risk for bone density loss, as less calcium may be consumed
* Loss of muscle mass
* Lower iron levels and a risk of anemia
Who Should Use The Restricted Calorie Diet?
When deciding whether or not a restricted calorie diet is recommended, anyone interested in participating in the diet should consult with their physician first. Some people may find they need to address other health issues prior to beginning calorie restriction.
Following a restricted calorie diet takes effort, even more so than some of the most popular diet plans. When following restricted calorie diet plans, a major focus of the plan is to consume a set amount of calories while still maintaining high nutrient levels. As such, people may want to consult with a nutritionist to help with balancing meals.
People who do well on the restricted calorie diet are disciplined, following the caloric intake guidelines as a lifestyle. They enjoy eating fresh vegetables and participate in regular exercise to help maintain the results of the restricted calorie diet.

Weight Loss Scams
There are a lot of weight loss products that offer that fast weight loss results, however, are these really guaranteed? Could these products live up to their assurance of a fit body?
In US, there is an estimated 50 million people who try to lose weight, unfortunately, only 5 per cent are successful. One thing's for sure, beware of fraudulent claims and extreme high cost because there is no magic to losing weight.
Samples of weight loss products in the market nowadays:
· Diet Patch – this was already removed since 1990’s by FDA since they were proven ineffective.
· Magnetic Diet Pills – allegedly flushes out fat, but not.
· Guar Gum – causes internal obstruction.
· Electrical Muscle Stimulators – no proven effect.
· Eyeglasses that Suppress Appetite – These claims that the projected image on the retina decreases appetite. No proven fact.
· Weight loss earrings – through acupuncture, suppresses appetite.
There are also examples of weight loss products:
Diet drinks that are mixed with beverages or food are used as meal substitutes. A downside of this is that once a person stopped taking the drinks, they would eventually regain the lost weight after a short period of time due to feeling of emptiness in the stomach. Another is diet supplements and medicines that also don’t work long-term. Over-the-counter pills that compose of phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride may raise blood pressure and palpitation. Ephedra on the other hand can cause serious side effects such as heart problems, seizure, stroke, and even death. E.g.:
- Herbalife Nutritional Program – good as two meals, dieters may rely on shakes and follow artificial dieting methods and just don’t want food to work into their lives.
- Mega-Thin 100 Formula – Its formula contains an anti-fat weapon, however, diet is not emphasized that’s why it’s concluded that it has an appetite suppressant.
- Nestlé’s Sweet Success – recommended to take three times a day and it does not promote healthy eating habits. Weight loss is difficult to maintain once intake is stopped.
- Ultra Slim Fast – this plan requires regular exercise but does not teach good eating habits.
- Diet pills with Ephedra and PPA – many of these have enclosed diet plans. Slimming can come from the diet plan and not the pill intake and there are risks of adverse side effects.
- Chitosan products – contains fibers which were taken from shellfish that may cause diarrhea, bloatedness, and gas. This will only work if a low fat diet is practiced.
- Chromium Supplements –claim that products will lower blood sugar, body fat and cholesterol but causes anemia and even memory loss. Studies show only minimal or no beneficial effect at all.
- Green Tea Extract Products – known as strong anti-oxidants that help lower cholesterol and triglycerides, and promote weight loss, however, the caffeine content could cause insomnia and restlessness.
- Algae Tablets - Spirulina contains significant nutrients that can be an acceptable food when used as part of a varied diet but are very expensive.
- St. John's Wort Supplement - Claims that it will suppress appetite and promote weight loss but it could lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, tiredness, sleeplessness, and arouse allergic reactions.
- Glucomannan Products – claim that two capsules before each meal decrease food absorption. Known as food thickeners but not yet proven safe or effective. Weight loss will only happen if good diet plan is followed.
Even if you plan on using over-the-counter weight supplements or even participate in a weight loss activity, the verdict is that you still have to eat fewer calories than you burn to lose weight. When choosing a weight loss product or program, collect as much information as possible.
