The heart helping properties of red wine have been scientifically proven for some years now and the evidence lives around the Mediterranean Sea in countries where red wine is consumed daily with meals. Did you know it also blocks fat?
Piceantannol Is Your Friend
A little known compound in red wine, piceantannol, has been found by researchers at Purdue University to stop fat cells from developing. This breakthrough has led further research into ways to reduce the growing threat of obesity in many developed countries.
How It Works
Piceantannol binds to fat receptors in immature cells and blocks their ability to mature. While it doesn’t cause weight loss like products such as Phen 375, it does stop new fat cells from properly forming. They are…

Rapid weight loss is not healthy, or so the experts say. There are ways to rapidly lose weight and we mean, rapid weight loss. Some will keep the weight off permanently, others may lead to a slow regaining of the lost weight so it is crucial you read this article in its entirety.
Fastest Way To Lose Big Numbers
The fastest way to lose big numbers, and we are talking 20% of your body mass, is to have a limb amputated. The weight loss is immediate and more importantly for those yo-yo dieters, this is permanent. Having a prosthetic limb fitted will replace the lost one and with modern materials such as carbon fibre and titanium, much lighter. Drastic this is, so let’s pull our tongue back out of our cheek and look at some less radical…

There are three ways to block fat from forming and staying put in your system. All three work and some work better for some people than others. You need to know your own goals and limitations before you can decide which is best for you.
Don’t Eat Fatty Foods
The thing is you can cut out fatty food altogether and that isn’t going to help. Your body needs some fats to survive and thrive and the trick is to get the good fats and avoid the bad ones. Too many people have a knee jerk reaction to dieting and simply cut out anything they perceive as fatty. This includes the animal fats such as the yummiest part of the t-bone, the fat! Trim it by all means but don’t treat it like the enemy. There are worse fats hiding inside so called health…

Nobody likes to settle for second best but sometimes it is the most achievable option. While we all nod and agree when those motivational guru mentor types rabbit on about striving for perfection and giving it 110%, the reality for most of us is that we just aren’t that motivated, right?
100% Is Impossible
The smart leadership and self improvement programs acknowledge that 100% is not achievable simply because that equates to perfection. Nobody is perfect, especially when it comes to our bodies and weight loss. Even super models don’t look like super models the moment they wake up, it takes a lot of work to get into character! 99% is about the best anyone can hope for and those who say silly things like ‘110%’ or ‘200%’ are just fooling themselves as much as anyone.…

We love tea, in fact it is the second most popular drink in the world after good old H2O, water. But did you know that tea has been at the heart of violent conflict ever since it was first cultivated in 10B.C.? Even as far back as 2737B.C> there is a fable of how leaves fell into a pot of boiling water in front of Emperor Chen Nung and that was how tea was discovered!
Chinese Emperors Ruled For Tea
While the fortuitous discovery of tea by such a highly ranked individual as the Emperor makes a good story there is no doubt the ancient Chinese dynasties all coveted tea and the properties of the leaf. They knew what only today we in the West seem to be realizing;’ that tea drinking is good for you. Tea was…

There is little argument about the health and longevity benefits that derive from drinking tea. Green, black or any other kind all share many of the same 700 or so healthy chemicals that give tea its power.
Tava Tea For Taste
Many people find tea without milk and sugar to be too bitter to drink. Green tea is mellow compared to the black teas however it doesn’t have some of the ‘goodies’ you might want from a black tea variety. Different amounts of tannin (not harmful tannic acid which is not present in any tea) are found in the two major types of tea and other anti-oxidants are also present in varying levels. Some detailed research will soon identify the blend or type of tea you want for the objective you seek to achieve. One thing that will hold true for any tea chosen: if it…

The latest diet idea, I never call them fads because that just puts down the ideas of someone who is genuinely trying to help others lose weight, is a sugar free diet. The question has to be asked, does cutting all sugar from your diet work? The answer is yes, and no.
Totally Sugar Free Is Impossible
Unless you are going to consume only fresh water there is little chance of having a 100% sugar free diet. Everything has sugar in it to some degree in one form or another, even protein and fat. What? That’s baloney! Protein like meat is protein, sugar is, well a carbohydrate and…. Keep your lab coats on, you food nutritionists out there. What I meant was we never eat raw meat in our culture, we cook it. Usually in oil or a marinade or what have you.…

The debate rages on as to which single element is worse: fats or sugars? For those of us just trying to lose weight and regain some shape as well as control over our lives, we need to know. We don’t need hype and lies pumped out by the people who make money from the 40% of Americans considered overweight or obese.
Fat Is Worse Than Sugar
If your intake of sugar is within the guidelines set down by the health authorities, heart foundations and what have you then sugar is not the enemy. Fat is. Fat comes in two basic types, the good stuff that kick starts the metabolism to burn stored fat and the bad fat that just heads straight for an organ or your thighs or butt.
The secret is to block those bad fats because sadly cutting them out…

There is a lot of hype around about losing weight, weight loss and weight gain and yet weight itself is only a measure of your mass. How much you weigh is irrelevant when considered by itself. You need a comparison statistic to place alongside and give the weight number some context. Like height, age or gender. So let’s forget about weight and focus on what creates the weight, other than bones and muscle and organ tissue, skin etc. I’m talking the F word. Fat.
Fat is What, Exactly?
It might be easier to say what fat isn’t. Fat isn’t a vegetable matter, nor is it a mineral. It does not occur in earth (soil), plants, fruits, vegetables or rocks, water and so on. It is an animal product. It is actually a mixture of various soft, semisolid organinc…

There is a term used in business, especially small to medium enterprises (SME) and very much by entrepreneurs and the self-employed and that is ‘sweat equity’. What it means its that you invest a lot of hard work into a business or project, just as much as you might invest money. Sweat equity includes your most precious resource, time, as well as your intellectual property such as ideas and your own personal stamp on things, or branding. It is no different losing weight and getting healthy.
Sweat Equity Can Be Literal
By that we mean that when it comes to losing weight, sweating might be a big part of the process. You can buy a weight loss supplement, such as a fat blocker like Phen 375 or African Mango, but supplements alone won’t do the job. You need to make major changes and actually…
