Loosing Weight

Loosing weight does not need to be hard or become a science, loosing weight should be enjoyable and a happy time. The worst thing you can do is to look in the mirror, this will only get you down. You should also not measure your weight everyday, this will also discourage you because your weight will fluctuate each day. weigh yourself once a week or every other week and reward yourself after each successful weigh in. Have a cheat day for each successful weigh in.

Happy weight loss to everyone trying, I know you can do it!

And Have Fun!

Loosing Weight with Coffee

Did you know that you could loose weight drinking coffee? Well this is a true face, coffee raises your metabolic rate which in turn makes you burn more calories.

If you want to loose weight and you have a sitting down life style I would suggest for you to drink coffee (check with your doctor first as coffee has some bad side effects if you have heart disease).

To get the full benefit of coffee only drink it BLACK

Fiber Helps Weight Loss

Eating fiber can help you loose weight, fiber makes you feel full after consuming which will cut down on your total food intake this in turn will lower your total calorie and fat intake. Fiber also has no calories which is great if your on a low calorie diet or trying to loose weight. Fiber is also a great if your having troubles taking a number 2.

One great way to loose weight is to have a bran and fruit muffin 45 minutes before your meal. the fiber in the bran and fruit will fill you up and you will eat less.

The following bran and fruit muffin recipe only has 100 calories, 0.7g of fat and 3.5g of protein.

1.5 cups of wheat bran
1 cup of nonfat milk
1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of blueberries

Enjoy!

Caveman Diet

Mr. Caveman 

I heard about this diet about 2 years ago, this diet is great but is extremely hard in our world due to all of the processed food. This diet is extremely safe for all ages and genders.

The Caveman Diet consists of only eating food that would be available to the cavemen (obviously cooking the meat though).

List of some of the food/drink you would be allowed to eat:

• meat 
• vegetables
• fruit
• milk
• water
• real fruit juice
• nuts

*If I missed something please let us know in a comment below. 

I have tried this diet for a 2 week session and seen great results. If you try this diet or have tried this diet before leave your comment below on how you liked the diet.

7 Uses of Cayenne Pepper

The fiery bite of cayenne pepper can make food sting with flavour, but did you know that this dried spice also has many practical uses around the home too? Here are seven ways you can put cayenne to work around your home.

1.  Protect your bird feeder: Birds are immune to the sting of chilli peppers, while we mammals are most certainly not. By adding a little cayenne to your bird feed, you can ensure the food goes to the birds, while bullying squirrels are kept at bay. 
2. Get rid of ants: Ants are insidious creatures, exploiting any opening in your home to get at your food. Try cayenne pepper for a natural ant control solution. 
3. Curb kitty's curiosity: cats are fiends for cables and cords. If you'd like to cure a curious cat of its chewing habit, rub a raw, sliced hot pepper on your cords, or whip up a quick hot sauce. 
4. Protect your garden; If rabbits and rodents are chewing through your garden at night, you can protect your plants with a simple mixture of cayenne and water. Fill a spray bottle with the mixture and keep your plants coated, sending thumper to your neighbours yard in search for a free meal. 
5. Reduce joint pain: Capsaicin, the burn-inducing substance in hot peppers, is also a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, topical application of capsaicin can ease achy joints caused by arthritis. 
6. Cure scaly skin: According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, capsaicin cream can help reduce itching and skin inflammation caused by psoriasis. 
7. Lose weight: Although we dont officially endorse it, quite a few celebrities have lost weight quickly on a diet of cayenne pepper "lemonade" and water. Some studies claim that cayenne works as an appetite suppressant. Check first with your doctor.
