Chic-Shuk Secrets

Cellulite- a bumpy orange peel or cottage cheese-like appearance of the skin found mostly on the hips, thighs and buttocks, is the bane of about 90% women, regardless if they are fat or slim.
Improper diet and lack of physical activity are the leading causes of accumulation of fluid, toxins and waste products in the body that bring about the formation of cellulite, therefore, you have to change to a healthy diet and exercise regularly to get rid of cellulite.
Eat a well balance diet that contains a high amount of fibers, lean proteins and complex carbohydrates, add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet as well. Researchers have found that Vitamin C, which helps the body rid itself of toxins, plays a role in eliminating cellulite, so make sure you have plenty of it in your diet.

Besides a healthy diet, the most effective and long lasting way of getting rid of cellulite is by performing cardiovascular exercises like jogging, cycling, running, and performing weight training exercises, which increases the amount of blood flowing through your body and helps to flush out toxins in even the most difficult areas. The toner your body is, the better blood circulation becomes and the faster the dimply cellulite reduces.

Dieting has never been an easy thing for me especially since loosing weight comes slow even when I`m really trying to keep a healthy, light lifestyle routine AND exercise at least 4 times a week… Apparently, there could be a hidden factor in weight control such as: Bacteria. Everyone has bacteria in their digestive system, but if you’re overweight, it may be because the blend of those bugs is causing you to absorb more calories from the food you eat!
Adding healthy bacteria and “Getting more pro-biotics in your diet can change the balance of bacteria,” says Steven Pratt, M.D., author of SuperHealth, and that can lead to more efficient weight loss! Eat more Yogurt which contain probiotics, such as acidophilus and take control of your weight-loss like I did… (and yes, it worked..)

I used to think the best diet food is low fat and calories reduced. However, its not always true! The best diet food that is healthy, can fight disease and will slim you down is: Nuts! Nuts are fatty, but they keep you full, plus the extra protein they contain will revs up metabolism. Recent studies found that people who ate nuts on a daily base lost 39 percent more weight than those who didn’t , even though their calorie intake was the same! On top of that amazing weight loss fact, keep in mind that nuts can lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes and- cancer!!!  now, that a reason to go nuts, don’t you think ???!!!

If you’re trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, or happened to be on a diet, and you are about to dine out at your favorite restaurant, don’t automatically turn to the salad menu! Turns out, restaurant salads can often be as bad as—or worse than—any other fatty dish on the menu! Sure, salads may contain some fresh & healthy produce base, but those leafy greens are normally weighed down with cheese, deep fried croutons, and high-calorie dressings. In fact, one salad from a popular chain restaurant may contains over 1,500 calories and too much fut!
 

These are some manue secrets you need to know:

• Anytime you see the words “Parmesans-Crusted,” or “Orange Glazed” assume the dish has been slathered in sugar or cheese, had given a frying treatment and probably contain nearly a full day’s worth of sodium and half a day’s worth of calories!
  

• In Mexican restaurants, salads are mostly the absolute worst choice from the menu. For example, with burritos and tacos, the amount of high-fat, high-calorie fillers is limited to what will fit in the shells! pay attention!
  

• The top word you should be careful about is the mighty Caesar. Regular restaraunt`s Caesar dressing is normally loaded with many grams of fat and is very high in calories, combine it with cheese and croutons and you turn your light, healthy salad to a complete diet disaster! always ask for a low fat or fat-free dressing!

Good Luck!
