Keep your house clean and get fit!!!

Hello again my friends and now a very interesting tip... although it's a little bit crazy...

Sometimes our family or our roomates want us to do the dirty job.. clean up the mess we usually do (specially men...)... so that's it, a great way to get some exercises and be healthy!!!

Here are few examples:

To cook:  125 cal/hour

To cut the grass:   400 cal/hour !!!

Take a walk with your buddy: 286 cal/hour

Iron Clothes (eeerrrgghh...): 118 cal/hour

These are some few examples and how much you can win doing those things, besides that everybody will be happy...!! If you want more house calories burners, please let me know!!!

Think Thin

Yes, I've heard there's a lot of merchandise and books with this same title... That's true. But most of them have one similar goal: they want to show that you're the only one to make things happen.

Let's see this way. if you want to drink water, you get up and go to the kitchen and get some, right? You had the motivation, you've foreseen it and then you did it.

Once I've been told that if you thin but think fat, you're not thin. You have to think ahead, to foresee it, and then you automatically start acting this way, and the maging begins to happen.

If you want to get thinner, besides all exercises and diets you may have, you need before everything to see yourself thin, be grateful you have the body you want. You just go on a diet if you aim a goal... foresee it.

Good luck!!

Soup Diet

For extreme cases that you really need to lose weight very fast you can use this Soup Diet.

This is not recommended for long term, once you just eat Soup everytime. Of course that it depends on the soup your cooking, but in almost all ways it's a low fat and low calories diet.

In some cases it's possible to lose something like 9 pounds  (4,5 kg) per week!!!!

But remember, this diet is only recommended for one or two weeks, for a quick result, then you can change to a more balanced diet.

Get thinner sleeping

If you want to lose that excess weight try to get the right amount of sleep each night. The average adult needs 8 hours sleep a night. People who sleep less than that have a 45% greater risk of being overweight and those who sleep less than four hours have a 75% chance of being overweight.

Insufficient sleep has been linked with increases in fat tissue in the body and a loss of muscle strength and also with the decrease in bone density.

So, in case you're having a hard time to get a good night sleep, you should try to organize your agenda, change your evening meals and go to bed earlier!!

Diets II - Vegetarian

Second Diet we are managing to talk about is regarding Vegetarians. Please note that this is more than a simple diet, for some people this is a way of living - it's an ideal regarding life and protection of other kinds.

Some say that the first people to adopt this Vegetarian way of living were the indians and the buddisths for religious matters. Nowadays there are several vegetarian patterns as for example some that eat onle vegetables or others that eat milk , eggs and meat derivatives.

The Vegtarian Diet, as said before, can consists in only eat vegetables or even white meat - it depends on you.

Red meat is totally forbidden.

Advantages:  once you don't eat meat, you reduce saturated fat absortion and consequently helps you avoid cardio diseases.

Disadvantages: once you will probably have a lack of calcium and iron in your body, you have a high possibility to have anemia. To avoid so, usually vegetarians use food suplements. Some studies indicates that vegetarians get older faster than others, consequence of their nutricional deficiency.


So, as said some posts before, we just indicate some different types of diet and it's up to you decide rather choose one or other to help you lose weight. If you like one of these, you can search for more information.

Good Luck!!

Diets - Tons of them...

 Well, as you of course know, there are several diets on the world, and each day we read or hear about another different kind that as they say can perform miracles in you.

First thing I have to say is that each person can adapt to one or other diet. It's impossible that all types of diets will fit you.

There are the radical ones and the light ones. You can choose and see if it fits you and your body. But remember, the best thing to do is inside you - prepare your mind, focus in your goal and go ahead. A simple diet based on vegetables and fruits can be great, exercises are an excellent co-helper.

From now on I'll post some kind of diets that I've heard or read about. In case you like one of them, go deeper and start your own weight loss proccess.

Today: Blood Type Diet


This one was created by the american doctor Peter James D'Adamo, and it's based on the premise that each person, taking into consideration it's blood type, is prepared to assimilate different food.

• What's good: all blood types can find several different snacks/food to eat

• What's not so good: even though there are people that are getting thinner with this one, there's no scientific proof of the benefits of this diet (as far as I know...)

What's better for each blood type:

Blood Type A) vegetables, fish, fruits - They're more sensible than others
Blood Type B) milk and it's derivates (cheese, butter, and so on...)
Blood Type AB) As said can eat of all mixed, but in balanced and limited portions... (???)
Blood Type O) These can eat lot of proteins - meat

What's not good for each blood type:


Blood Type O) Food based on wheat (bread, f.e.) and milk are harmful for this blood type
Blood Type A) Need to be far from red meat
Blood Type B) Chicken and corn are harmful to these
Blood Type AB) All kinds of meat (red, fish, chicken) and Milk

Remember, this is one kind of diet among millions you have in whole world. If you got interested in this one, you can go to the creator site, which is:
