Numerous studies have shown that HIIT cardio is optimal for fat loss. Compared with it’s steady-state partner, HIIT is capable of elevating metabolism not just while you’re doing it, but LONG after you finish your workout! Give this simple HIIT workout a try!

Super Simple HIIT Workout!

5 minute warm up, easy/moderate pace

30 seconds of all out effort

1-2 minutes of low intensity recovery (easy/moderate pace)

Repeat this sprint/recovery cycle 6-8 times

You can do this on ANY machine at the gym, or even just at your local track or park! ENJOY =)

milkteacafe:

Fidget! fidgeting can burn up to 350 calories per day, just by being restless. try it for yourself; move around while talking on the phone, tap your feet to music, etc.

Avoid eating too many nuts. Although they have heart healthy fats, they are also high in calories (3 handfuls have 525 calories) if you really crave them, eat pistachios. 2 handfuls is just 159 calories, and shelling them will slow down your eating

Don’t eat in front of the TV, or you’ll end up overeating around 288 calories. Instead eat around the table, and trade 1 hour of TV for a walk.

Limit salad toppings! Cheese crumbles, caramelized nuts, bacon, avocado, dried fruit, croutons, and vinaigrettes can add lots of calories. Instead just have 1 topping, and use half the dressing

Eat on smaller plates, and you’ll end up eating 20-25% less while still feeling full because your plate will be full!

Skip on the whipped cream when eating dessert-coffee drinks (macchiatos, lattes, etc.) the drinks themselves contain about 600 calories for a large

Count your chips instead of eating from a bag. Often you’ll end up eating twice the serving size on the nutrition label unknowingly

Avoid buffet-style meals at home; instead of letting people fill their own plates (and often going back for seconds), fill it for them before bringing it to the table

Instead of getting your cocktail with syrup, sugary juices, and creamy additions, add club soda or cranberry juice instead. the former can make your drink up to 800 calories!

Eat less pasta! Especially at restaurants, which will often serve you 480% the recommended amount (about 1025 calories worth)

Eat with less people; studies have shown eating with 7 or more people can make you eat up to 96% more, that’s like doubling your dinner!

Don’t clean your plate; leave 25% left at every meal and save the rest as leftovers

Get mini versions of desserts if available (you can get them at Carabbas, Olive Garden, and P.F. Changs) so you can still get a sweet treat without all the calories

Avoid smoothies, they can often have up to 800 calories per 32 oz! instead try oatmeal or fruit to start your day

Beware of the “healthy food trap”. people often think because food is healthy at restaurants that they can indulge in twice as much, so they end up eating the same amount of calories than if they had gone to a not so healthy restaurant

Beware of hidden oils; ask to have your food cooked with stock instead of oil, or order food steamed/poached to avoid the oil it takes to pan fry it

Get enough sleep! a lack of sleep makes people snack more according to studies, aim for 6-7+ hours

Be a hardworking dinner host! Grocery shop for 1 hour, cook a fabulous meal in 2 hours, and then toast yourself for your awesome 640 calorie burn

Stop drinking soda, each 12 oz drink has 150-180 calories, not to mention all the extra sugars

For breakfast eat 2 boiled or poached eggs (you’ll feel fuller throughout the day), and before lunch eat 1 cup of low cal soup (you’ll eat about 134 calories less at lunch)

Ditch the buttered popcorn at the movies, a large has around 1000 calories! Instead smuggle in your own air popped or butter-free microwave popcorn

Pay attention when you eat, listen to your body’s cues and put down your fork when you’re satisfied

Drink sugar free: a 20 oz tea with fruit juices can have as much as 400 calories! Choose sugar free and save more than 400 calories

Check the serving size when reading nutrition labels. The entree you’re cooking may say it has 350 per servings, but there are probably 4 servings in the entire thing!

Get a small when buying ice cream. Even if you get your favorite full-fat flavor, you’ll still save as many as 550 calories if you just get 1 scoop rather than 3

How to Get Rid of Acne

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:31:54 -0400

1.Baking soda can be used as a great scrub. To start off, you’ll want to mix a small amount of baking soda with some water for form a paste. Gently massage the paste into your skin for ten to fifteen seconds. Then rinse the baking soda off, and pat your face dry with a clean towel.

2.Lemon or lime juice can also be substituted for vinegar. Both of these juices are rich in citric acid, and can exfoliate your skin very well, halting the growth of acne spots, as well as fading previous, non-active acne quicker.

3.Crack an egg, removing the yolk so that just the egg whites are left behind. Beat these egg whites, and apply them directly to your face. Let it sit for fifteen minutes, and then rinse the egg off.

4.Aloe Vera has been used for many years in kitchens for topical application to burns. Another benefit of aloe is that it can prevent scaring, fade marks and help heal acne spots.

5.Each time you wash your face, use sugar to scrub it, at least once a day, for two weeks, to rid yourself of acne.

6.Soak cotton wool in mint juice, and apply every day.

7.Apply crushed marigold leaves on acne.

8.Boil and mash plums to get 8 teaspoons of pulp. Add a teaspoon of almond oil, and apply on the face.

9.Make a paste of turmeric powder, and apply evenly on the acne.

10.Mix together neem leaves paste, a quarter teaspoon of turmeric powder, sandalwood paste and gram flour. Apply on the acne and let it dry well before rinsing.

11.Powder half a cup a whole green gram. Mix it with two tablespoons wheat bran. Regular application of this will clear skin of acne.
