Boost Your Metabolism For Weight Loss
Weight loss is the hottest topic and goal when the weather starts to get warm. But, it can frustrate some people who work hard yet still don’t see the results that they want. Here are a few ways that you can boost your metabolism to achieve success.What Is Metabolism?
Metabolism is the rate at which your body uses the calories in the food that you eat. There is a common misconception that thinner people must have faster metabolisms and obese people must have slower ones.
Food is the fuel for the engine that runs your body. When you give it the proper fuel, it will run like a well-oiled machine. When you give it too much of the wrong stuff, it can clog up the engine and slow down the machine. What most people want to know is how to speed up the metabolism.
It’s a matter of math. When you give the body too many calories it will store them as fat. How does this happen? Not enough calories are burned during daily activities. There are two ways to handle this. One, you can consume less calories. Fewer calories means less excess to turn into fat in the body. Two, you can burn more calories. This is accomplished by ramping up your daily activities. Include exercise at least three times a week.
Jump Start Your Fall Wellness Plan With Cleanse21™
Modern life is filled with tons of conveniences. There's fast food, medicines, and all kinds of products to make you look and feel better. The problem with these items is most are filled with unnatural chemicals that can build up in your body making it operate less efficiently, just like gunk building up in your car's engine.
While there are many different ways to clear chemicals out of your body, from drinking extra water, to fasting or juice dieting, to simply taking an herbal supplement, they don't necessarily do the same thing. For instance, one product may be designed to remove toxins from your intestine, while another works on your liver.
For a total body detox using nothing more than nutrtional supplements and real foods you buy at your local store, we offer the Cleanse21™ Therapeutic Detox by Body Focus International .
Summer Weight Loss Warning:
With only a month left until the end of summer, you may be in a hurry to lose a few pounds before the labor day weekend celebrations. If so, be careful of those heavily advertised (and often misleading) products you see on the internet or at local stores promoting "fast, effortless" weight loss without exercise or lifestyle changes. While these companies are very good at telling the consumer what they want to hear, if you look closely at what they're selling, you'll see that their products often involve purchasing pre-packaged meals or drinks, herbal pills or a "starvation" diet plan that can be unsafe, costly and in my opinion, will help you lose nothing more than your money!These so-called "miracle" weight loss plans and products often send dieters into a cycle of quick weight loss, followed by a “rebound” weight gain once normal eating resumes. Sadly, in many cases, the weight gained back is often greater than what was originally lost while on the diet plan!
So what's the best way to quickly shed a few pounds without the negative repercussions?

Boost Sallow Skin with Home-Made Fruit Facials
When you're feeling poorly inside, your skin is the first to know it... and show it.
Sallow skin, which can happen as a result, is skin that lacks the shine and luster that's often seen in healthy skin.If you have sallow skin, perk it up with some home-made goodness found as close as your kitchen.
That's right, natural ingredients can be used to help enhance the appearance of your skin without harsh chemicals. One such way is with a fruit facial mask that anyone can create at home with the right foods. The mask will work to remove excess oils, retain moisture and remove dead cell layers so healthier skin underneath can shine through.
Here are some ingredients that you can use to make a fruit facial mask.
Strawberries– They are filled with antioxidants. For sallow skin, the seeds can gently exfoliate the outer layers without being harsh. You can also use raspberries and blackberries.
Oatmeal– All masks need to have filler that holds the mask together. Oatmeal is good to absorb any excess oil in the skin and soften its feel. Try to find oatmeal that is ground to a fine powder instead of the big rolled oats.
Bananas– And you wonder why babies have such shiny skin. Bananas are added for help in retaining moisture in your skin.
Grapes– They contain antioxidant substances as well. See your skin tighten and tone.
Cucumber– They are not just for your eyes but your entire face. Cucumbers reduce swelling and puffiness while soothing and cooling your skin.
Need help for your skin? How about a fruit facial mask? You can make it at home whenever you need to improve the look of your skin.

How To Tame Your Sweet Tooth
Sugar tastes good. There is no other way to say it. Just one bite and we are hooked. But, you can tame it.Sweets spike the blood sugar and give us a rush. If you are tired, eating sugar can not only taste good but also provide the needed energy – at least for about an hour or so. The downside is that to achieve the same high again you need more sugar.
The Facts
There are misconceptions about sugar. In the body, sugar is okay in moderation. In fact, all foods are okay in moderation. It’s when we eat too much sugar that we have a problem. If you are trying to lose weight, a sweet tooth can derail you.
Ways To Tame Your Sweet Tooth
You can lose the sweet tooth without going cold turkey. In fact, cold turkey often increases our cravings for the thing that we are trying to avoid. Don’t think of it as avoiding sugar, but as trying to increase the presence of something else.
1. Introduce protein into your diet – It is a fact that protein cuts down on cravings. It also keeps the munchies at bay. Try a small bit at first if you are not used to it. Eat boiled eggs at breakfast or a slice of cheese. Include protein at each meal.
2. Up your fiber intake – Fiber cleans out the digestive system and also keeps you feeling full. It is hard to crave sweets with a full belly. Try whole grain breads for sandwiches, oatmeal for breakfast, and add more vegetables.
3. Opt for natural sugars – Eating fruits that are sweet not only gives you that sweet taste, but also nutrients like vitamin A and C. For a sweeter taste, try dried fruit where the effects are concentrated. Watch out for added sugar, though. You may want to invest in your own dehydrator.
4. Eat before you go out – This is a trick that works. Eat a small snack or protein or a salad before going out to dinner with friends or to a party. It will cut down on grazing on sweet fare.
5. Reward yourself without food – Sometimes we reward ourselves with food for promotions and celebrations. Instead, go shopping. A reward of a trinket won’t increase your sweet tooth or your waistline.
You can tame and even lose that sweet tooth. Instead of going cold turkey, take a little time and a few steps to get it done right.
