Slimming Teas

admin — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 19:41:23 +0000

Victoria Beckham, Madonna and Joss Stone are among the many celebrities who are said to be staying slim through drinking Pu’er Tea, an ancient Chinese brew which is thought to raise the body’s metabolism so that it burns more calories with minimal exercise.

With its celeb status, it is the Chinese Pu’er (or Pu’erh) tea that has received the most attention when it comes to weight loss. Others include green tea, ‘hoodia’ and various tea blends, such as ‘Figuro’ by Birt&Tang, which combines Pu’er with other Chinese herbs such as Cassia tora, Water Lily leaf, cinnamon and cloves (herbs which have apparently been used in China for centuries to warm the stomach, stimulate digestion, and eliminate retained fluids and stagnant chi energy).

Another slimming tea on the market, which is based on the principles of Ayurveda, is ‘Women’s Fitness Tea’ by Yogi Teas. This has been formulated with ingredients including rosemary, nettle, rooibos and green mate, the South American plant and natural energiser that, it is claimed, promotes a healthy metabolism.

‘I wasn’t expecting any miracles from a simple tea, but I noticed the effects within a month after drinking it ceremoniously three-times-a-day with just a normal, balanced diet and the odd naughty treat,’ she explains. ‘I lost 10lbs in a month and went from a size 16 to a 14. Five months down the line, I’m very content with my curvy size 12 frame, and although I know that my new healthy living lifestyle has contributed to my weight loss greatly, I have no doubt that Pu’er has been instrumental in my successful long-standing fight against the flab.’

If you do not think you can lose weight with tea then drink it for the health benefits and to reduce cholesterol and aid digestion. They also contain high amounts of antioxidants and so are healthy from that perspective.

admin — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:11:38 +0000

Celebrity diets usually involve meals high in protein and a professional trainer for a hard workout routine and all of this is usually done in a small space of time (which the NORMAL can not a achieve). Though most will seek to associate themselves with the trim frame or weight loss success of some notable celebrity, these claims are very difficult to verify.

It seems really simple but yet so few actual attempt to walk just 30-60 minutes per day. Walking at a moderate pace for an estimated 5 days per week burns stored fat and can also build muscle to speed up your metabolism.

In fact just an hour per day is associated with cutting your risk of heart disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes and stroke. I think it’s about time that you get up a little earlier or schedule some time later in the day into your busy lifestyle.

The Original 300 Movie Workout

To become King Leonidas, Butler, who by his own admission was in less- than-ideal shape when he was tapped for the starring role in 300 , spent 4 months transforming both his body and his mind. Early on, it became an all-consuming task. That’s because the intense training required to build a warrior’s physique — aesthetically and functionally — simultaneously cultivated a warrior’s mentality. Or maybe it was vice versa.
