You are what you eat.

Healthy eating is all about being full of energy and keeping yourself fit. It does not mean that you need to hold yourself back from eating the food you love. It is just about eating the right quantity at the right time.

Healthy eating does not only mean what to eat but also how to eat. In a way, it means smart eating. Right choice of food is very important as it helps in reducing risk of problems like diabetes, heart problems, cancer, depression, etc. It even helps in strengthening your memory.

Eating healthy food is the only way to keep yourself fit and fine. The nutrition that we get out of these healthy foods helps us to fight against all health problems. We should not just eat food for the sake of it but instead we should enjoy the food that we eat.


One should not make changes in their eating habits all of a sudden; instead, it should be done slowly and gradually. Moving towards a healthy diet in small portions will help you in getting used to healthy food more easily.



When we talk of healthy food it means different variety of fresh vegetables, fruits and other food items. We should concentrate on easy and non spicy recipes and, at the same time, add a variety of ingredients to it. You will gradually start cherishing the food that you eat.

It is not possible to bring a change in your eating habits in a span of one night. One should be smart enough to gradually bring changes in their ways of eating. Start with small
 changes like substituting butter with olive oil or eating green salad before a meal.


Slowly, the changes that you have made in your eating habits will become your daily routine and you will start liking it, because, these healthy changes make you feel fresh and energetic. Then slowly and with time you can bring many such healthy changes in your eating habits.

What do you know about Cellulite?

Cellulite can be cause of lot of embarrassment, especially since it is a well known belief that fat people get cellulite. There are millions of people who go through the cellulite problem. What is cellulite is what you must be wondering? Cellulite, though not a medical term, is caused by fat cells growing large in size because they contain toxic waste that your body could not dispose off, fat and water.


Unlike other types of fat cellulite is visible on skin and the skin starts looking ugly and lumpy where cellulite is formed. The process of cellulite forming is that the fibrous tissue connects the skin layer with deeper layers of tissue, this process also creates separate compartments, after the fat cells grow, it shows on skin, it starts looking lumpy and the skin pores enlarged.
It is obvious that with this skin you cannot wear bikini on the beach or a low waist jeans, for the fear of cellulite showing. Cellulite can be embarrassing in intimate relationships too.
There are several myths surrounding cellulite. These are:


Cellulite is the problem of only fat women: This is an entirely wrong notion. You will be surprised to find that some fit and slim women have cellulite too.


Cellulite is caused due to excess of water and fat in the body: This is half truth, yes cellulite is caused due to fat, you will also find water in cellulite, but another thing you will find in cellulite is the toxins. Cellulite forms when your body is unable to flush all the toxins in your body out. The toxins are collected and with fat and water they form cellulite.

  the answer to your problem

Exercising will reduce cellulite: Exercising is a must; it will keep you healthy, fit and in good shape, so please do not stop exercising even if you find out that exercising will not remove cellulite altogether, although it will help since your blood circulation will be better.
Cellulite contains fat and water, so reduce both: It is correct that cellulite contains fat and water, reducing fat is a good idea. But reducing fat and water to remove cellulite is a wrong concept. Fat is connected with cellulite, therefore fat does cause cellulite but it is not the only cause, otherwise thin women would not have cellulite.


Dehydration is a way to reduce cellulite: Wrong again, cellulite will not go by dehydrating the area where you have cellulite, cellulite is not a problem to be solved with remedies which are neither proven nor have been effective. Dehydrating yourself or the area of cellulite might cause damage to your system and skin. Dehydrating yourself will cause your toxin levels to increase and create more cellulite.


Cellulite requires be dealt with a lot of patience; you require knowing a lot more about cellulite than keeping trust in myths like given above. Once you know everything about cellulite, you can either consult a doctor or devise a plan to if not remove, at least to reduce cellulite to a lot of extent. You can win over cellulite, all you require is determination.

SQUAT, SQUAT, SQUAT



The question most people keep asking, "I've heard squatting is bad for the knees, is that true?" Short answer, NO! The squat is the king of lower body exercises. It primarily works the thigh and butt muscles, but is in actuality a full body core movement. Squatting is not bad for the knees as long as you do not have a pre-existing knee problem and it is performed correctly. 

There are two common mistakes people make when performing squats. 

The first, and hardest on the knees, is letting the knees move forward of the toes. When I teach my clients the squat I tell them to stick their butt back and pretend like someone is walking behind them and they are trying to bump them with their behind. Your knees should not move forward more than a few inches when you go down on the squat. Your thigh bones and your hips should move back from where your knees are when standing straight at the top. This is the key to proper squats, stick your butt out!


The second most common mistake is to bend forward too much when going down. It is true you must lean forward slightly while squatting to keep from falling back, but your shoulders should stay aligned over your feet and this can take time to develop the strength to do. When people bend too far forward, it is usually from a lack of strength in the glutes (butt muscles) and the spinal erectors (the muscles along the spine that allow you to keep your back straight. People who make this mistake may not be able to put their hips back and down, due to a lack of strength in these muscles and try to compensate by dropping their shoulders by bending over instead. You should never allow your back to round out when squatting and the way to ensure this is to puff your chest out the whole time. Even when you are at the bottom of the squat, leaning forward slightly, you should maintain a chest puff (back arch). The chest puff puts your spinal erectors in a contracted position which is what they do while stabilizing your back during the squat (along with many other exercises).


These muscles must be conditioned before you can even think about putting any weight on your back while squatting. The chest puff is where you start. So let's say you don't have the strength to squat properly and make all of these mistakes, how do you develop it without injuring yourself? sit down on a bench or chair of varying heights and stand back up maintaining the positions I have just described. This way you can train these muscles properly without fear of falling or losing your balance. When you can easily squat properly onto a bench or chair/ couch, pick a lower surface like a stool or a step. You should be able to stand up off of the seat without rocking forward or losing your body position before moving to a lower height. Keep training yourself onto lower surfaces until you can squat with your thighs parallel to the floor without assistance.

Follow all of these guidelines and tips and you'll be squatting like a champ before you know it.


Eat healthy & Enjoy your meals.

With so much advice and research out there on nutrition and dieting, how do you know what to listen to and how to eat healthy? This article will give you some general tips about eating healthier.


If you're like most people you don't want to eat bland foods that taste like cardboard. If those are your only options then dieting and eating better are likely not to be your top priorities. You want flavor and taste. There are not too many people who can go eating the same things for the rest of their lives that have no flavor.



1- Fruits like strawberries, watermelon, oranges, bananas and blueberries are all loaded with vitamins and minerals and taste good. You can eat as many of these as you want. Add them into your meals as side items. Add some frozen blueberries into your morning oatmeal or cereal to add some healthy taste to your breakfast.




2- Granola? Granola is a healthy combination of whole grains, nuts, honey and dried fruits like cranberries and raising and coconut. Some flavors of granola also combine flax seed which contains omega 3 fatty acids which are essential to your body's daily functioning. At Sam's Club they sell a brand of granola called Bear Naked that contains no high fructose corn syrup and tastes good. You can combine it with yogurt to give it some crunch. Eating granola instead of a candy bar is a healthy snack alternative.



3- Healthy drinks, Sodas and diet sodas. Neither one is good for you. So avoid them. Replace them with healthy drinks - the best one being water. But water can be bland. Try adding some 100% grape juice to give it a sweet flavor. Or try adding some lemon juice to give it a bit of a sour flavor. You can dilute any fruit juice with water to get the sweetness you want without all the calories. Even though grape juice is healthy for you, it does contain a lot of sugars.


4- Avoid empty calorie foods. This includes most alcoholic drinks. Alcohol contains 7 calories per gram compared to 9 calories per gram for fat and 4 calories per gram for carbs. Red wine is the only alcoholic drink you can consume due to its health benefits. One to two glasses a day is enough to get the health benefits.



5- Read the labels. Be sure to read the food labels and see just exactly how much you can eat that constitutes as a serving. Here's an example: eating a piece of dark chocolate everyday is good for your heart but the serving size on a Hershey's bag is 4 pieces which adds up to over 200 calories when all you need is half of one piece to get the heart benefits. Take the time to read the labels and watch the calories.



The advice on how to eat healthy is not new. It is the same now as it has been in the past. Yes, there is plenty of conflicting information out there but if you make the simple choices then you'll be on your way to a healthier lifestyle and a slimmer waistline. These tips are just a start.

Motivation First, Change comes as a result.



First let me tell you something, YOU CAN achieve anything you want if you give it your effort and time and focus, I'll be helping you to have the summer body you want by the end of this summer, I'll try to find the best workouts and diets and articles and put it all in your hands, ARE YOU READY?


To say that finding the motivation to work out is a pain at times, is a pretty nice way of putting it. More people desire to look great today than ever before, but lack the motivation to make it happen!
If you're somebody who is struggling with finding the motivation to get in shape, then here are some things to think about along to help you along your journey!


1) It's all mental!


What does this mean? It means that our lack of motivation comes from our own thoughts more than anything else! We tend to come up with reasons in our own mind for why it is okay to keep putting off getting in shape for at least another day. What does this mean for us? It means that we need to understand this concept, and start controlling our thoughts!
Start thinking about what you're thinking, and make sure that your thoughts only consist of what you want to have happen! Remove all negative un-motivating thoughts and start to see the changes! This is going to take some time and effort to make it a habit, but by doing this, it will change everything! Having control of your thoughts will become natural in only a matter of time, thus leaving you more motivated than ever!
After all; thoughts lead to feelings, which lead to actions, which lead to results!





2) Switch it up!

We should never get hung up on a routine that we don't look forward to! Sometimes routines like working our legs are necessary, but if it gets to the point where we aren't even working out, because we aren't looking forward to the routine that is coming up for the day, then that is a classic sign that we may need to switch it up! If we get to this point and don't switch it up, it will most likely lead us off track for a day which then turns into several days, and so on.
Don't be afraid to change up your routine! Working out should be fun like a hobby you enjoy! Start looking up new ways to work out the same muscles that you don't look forward to, and have fun with your work out!


3) Eat healthy!

Believe it or not, when we don't eat healthy, it affects how we think and feel! Our brains are important, since our lack of motivation is all mental! If we treat our brains right, we will start thinking right, which will then keep us on track, which will keep us feeling great, and in turn, keep us motivated!
When you eat that piece of cake, forget about the calories that you're intaking, and start thinking about how it is going to affect your brain! An unhealthy brain will make it harder for you to keep control of your thoughts!





4) Watch what you say!

There was a study recently that talked about how we need to watch what we say when it comes to getting things done! Apparently, when we say something out loud, for example; what we're going to do later, our brains actually think that we've already completed the task! Therefore, if we want to get something done, we really should keep it to ourselves and not talk about it, because then our brains will actually accept our thought as an uncompleted task, which will up our chances of actually getting the task done!
Watch your mouth! Even if you're talking about working out to try and psyche yourself up for it later, by saying it out loud your brain is in the process of thinking that you've already done your routine! So keep it in!
All in all, your lack of motivation really does start with your own way of thinking! Change your way of thinking, and you'll start seeing a change in the amount of things you're getting done!
Finally, "keep in mind that it isn't a huge mountain that we're trying to climb here, it is actually just a bunch of small hills."
