Aren't you punishing yourself? At one point of time you didn't even bothered to find out what you are having. All sorts of spicy fast food were your favorites.

Now when the size of your waistline is about to touch 38, you have become over-conscious about your diet. Poor fellow; nothing can really help you out. Finally you have started skipping your meals and being choice less you have picked up the measure of fasting to put down your weight. Is fasting healthy? Will it really help you to shed off your accumulated fat? Will it not damage your health in any form?
Rearrange your diet
Fasting has often been misinterpreted and used in a wrong way. Fasting never means giving up eating. It is actually a control measure on your diet and very much a part of your diet.
When you are on fast you are actually trying to give a balanced shape to your diet. Fasting keeps a control over your appetite and tries to put off your hunger cravings. Over these years you have already build up overeating habits. You cannot bring a pause to them all of a sudden. What you can do is give a break to your eating habit and eating schedule.
* Don't eat a lot a time. Break up your one time meal into two parts and have it twice.
* Chuck off the fatty substances and take care of the preparation part. Most often over frying of an item reduces its food value and consuming those also helps you to gather more flab around your abs. You can prefer stews and soups instead of spicy curries and fries.
* Help yourself with salads and fruit juice. Try to avoid raw sugar and prefer to use sugar-free.
* Frame a healthy schedule to consume food at regular interval of time. Don't either over eat and also don't starve yourself. Try having your breakfast, lunch and supper timely. This helps in easy digestion and keeps you away from gas and constipation troubles.
* With a healthy diet associate the fasting mode coupled with exercises. You will observe fast results if you can carry them out simultaneously.
* Last but not the least, never adopt fasting as an easy means to get out of obesity. It might be a boomerang. Under compulsion you fast rigorously and loose 5 pounds in 15 days and the next month you grow another 6 pounds unable to resist your eating spree. So fasting becomes useless.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lice
By: nagalie | 22-07-2008
I am so grossed out, tired, and aggrivated. I need help. I need some feedback. To begin with, I'm an ultra clean person but I think I have lice. I am not sure. for a week now I have been itching like crazy but didn't find anything until today. I can never find anything at will. Nothing in the seems of my clothes. I only feel them. anyway, today I found on my arm ( think it fell from my head) what I now know looks like lice according to pictures i've seen. It had 6 legs was a transparent brown exept for the dark insides of its body. It was about the size of the period at the end of this sentence but a bit larger including it's legs...(Sooo sorry that you are getting this gross info but it's quite necessary for the process of identifying my problem.) Anyway, I am pretty sure it is lice but the question i want to ask now is what kind? If it is body lice it should be treated different from head lice I think. I know you can get rid of head lice with olive oil but body lice? Here are my symptoms... I am 90% sure I got this from my dog who was in some tall grass the other day. I saw her itching intensely but shes never had any bites before so I didnt think about it. I thought it was allergies and gave her a benedryl. THEN I started itching along with her. I know its not fleas. I don't think its scabies because my bites dont run in lines or around the webbing of my fingers. Not only that but scabies dont look like lice from what I know. Now, I can't tell if it is head or body lice because of this, they are both on my head and on my body. I even feel them in my eyelashes. I have them in my nether regions...and I've never had sex.lol I have bites that look like pimples all spread out on my legs...nether region...round my belly button, on my behind, back and neck. None on my chest or face thank God for that. But head lice are supposed to remain on the head for all I know and body lice on the body. I even feel itchy in my ears. I can barely sleep. Someone help me so I can search for a remedy pleeease. If you have a remedy for either please share it with me . Thanks
