A recent study from Brazil found that rats eating a high-fat diet who were fed supplements of L-Glutamine decreased weight gain by 15 percent and reduced central body fat (stomach, etc) by 50 percent. Blood sugar and insulin were also substantially decreased (Fat News article).
Apparently L-Glutamine works by increasing the metabolism, as well as increasing […]
To lose weight while keeping your metabolism running, many experts advise eating 6 small meals a day. While I admit I don’t do this - it doesn’t seem too practical - I do try to get in small snacks throughout the day.
It’s easy to overdo it on the snacks if you’re hungry - say 3:00 […]
Running the risk of sounding boring, I love fresh vegetables. They make a great side dish or even a meal with the right sauce or seasoning. Right now my favorite veggie ever, artichokes, are in season. Why are these the perfect vegetable?
For one thing, 1 large artichoke (they’re huge, trust me) will only cost you […]
In my second review of cellulite treatments, I’d like to talk about Benefit’s Jiggle Gel. I acquired this after finding out Knoxville does indeed have a Benefit counter, then going on a week-long Benefit binge (Benetint, anyone?). The premise is that it acts as an “invisible girdle” for your skin.
I liked the idea of an […]
A study published Thursday at the Oxford University in London says that a 17.5 percent tax on sugary, fatty and salty foods could save thousands of lives a year (MSNBC).
Right now, there is already a tax on a few “junk” foods such as ice cream and potato chips.
I can see some major problems with a […]
Working at Bath and Body Works made me privileged to find out about the new FitFlop shoes in May, months before they were stocked in stores. These flip-flops are said to mimic the act of barefoot walking, help tone your legs and even reduce the appearance of cellulite.
They do all these things simply by walking […]

Hey all, and I’m sorry I’ve been so flaky with the blog. We spent all week at Wrightsville Beach at a hotel with a terrible internet signal. We managed to get one outside on the deck, but this computer only holds a charge for a few minutes.
The beach was great - we got lots of […]
What a mouthful! I bought Caudalie Contouring Concentrate at a Bath and Body Works flagship store. The label promised it to be “cellulite draining.” I kind of liked the idea of all my cellulite escaping through my pores, although it obviously doesn’t do that.
I wasn’t expecting miracles, since some cellulite creams/gels take weeks to even […]
Well, I’m heading off to Wrightsville Beach, NC today for 5 days (I’ll continue to post while I’m there). Yesterday was full of packing and picking up last-minute items (like sunscreen!). Now I’m formulating a plan to not break my low-carb diet at the beach.
It will be tough, since the mainstays of Wrightsville Beach […]
