What do you look like? How big (or small) are you? How tall (or short)? How much do you weigh?When I ask participants how much they weighed when they were teenagers, I hear this lament: They thought they were very heavy, but when they look at those old photos now, they realize they weighed a weight they'd be thrilled to weigh today.To feel comfortable feeding the smaller person you've become, be honest about your weight, silhouette, image, and...more
Created by respected cardiologist Dr Arthur Agatston, the South Beach Diet is generally regarded as both effective and safe. Unlike most 'fad' diets, the South Beach Diet aims to modify your lifestyle slightly, in order to get you eating the right fats and carbohydrates, while actually enjoying it - this of course means you will be able to stick to it with less trouble than other diets! This is, of course the main reason why we here at www.supadiet.com like it so much. A cardinal point of Dr Agatston's theories is that eating 'bad' fats and carbohydrates actually makes you hungrier, and so you eat more. Proponents of the South Beach Diet claim it is entirely possible to lose between 8 and 14 pounds in just 2 weeks - a rate of weight loss that would usually be regarded as 'dangerous crash dieting'.The South Beach Diet is composed of 3 'phases', the first 2 are for a limited timespan, the third is for the rest of your life. It doesn't really rely on calorie counting, or portion control as such, more on creating a sensible eating schedule you can stick to. You won't feel deprived, or constantly hungry, and the meals you eat will be full size enjoyable ones, not mung-bean snacks or...more

Enough coincidences and maybe a relationship could be proposed. A hundred years later, eye color was discovered to be a paternity identifier. This theory has had its flaws exposed because...more
We have all heard the many benefits of working at home - set your own hours, spend more time with your family, avoid the commute, etc. And many people (including myself!) have actually reaped these benefits. But one thing we aren't told is that for some of us, one unfortunate side effect of being at home all day is weight gain. Now I know that a lot of the work-at-home crowd is really only at home in an office part of the time. Salespeople are always out on sales calls, and well, if you run a day care center in your home, then you're probably chasing little ones around all day. These work-at-home types are probably immune to the weight gain. I'm talking about the rest of us. Those of us who are home alone, all day, with nothing but a computer and a bag of cookies to keep us company. How can we fight the urge to indulge? Let's take a look at the top 5 options: Set a routine and stick to it. Yes, I know, one of the benefits of working at home is not having the rigid work schedule, but we still need to have some sort of structure. Your routine should only allow for a few minutes of snacking a day, so that you know when and where you will be eating. Don't keep tempting foods in the...more
