Supersize v Superskinny | Series 1 Episode 1 | Tatiana & Sandra

19 year old Tatiana weighs 6st 9lbs (93lbs) and her BMI is just 15 - thanks to her tiny portions. Sandra on the other hand is very overweight at 23st 4lbs (326lbs) due to her late-night comfort eating.
Also, follow Gillian McKeith as she tries to reduce the size of Britain's arses and Anna Richardson as she tries out a bizarre model diet.

3 Reasons To Take Multivitamins.

On a very low calorie diet but not sure whether to take multi-vitamins? Here are 3 reasons why you should:

1. They can decrease cravings. If you've taken a multi-vitamin containing calcium, for example, there's less chance of you craving ice cream because your body doesn't need to top up on calcium and wont make you hungry for it.
2. They can help improve your skin, hair + nails. Your skin, hair + nails can really suffer if you have a diet deficient in vitamins + minerals such as Beta Carotene and Vitamin B.
3. If you're deficiant in various vitamins you're more prone to insomnia. A lack of magnesium, calcium and B vitamins - amongst others - can all contribute to insomnia.

I've heard great things about Biotin and many people recommend pre-natal multivitamins, but many store brands are good too.

Teas for weight loss?

I feel drinking tea is an easy way to help speed up weight loss somewhat.
Obviously you'd have to combine it with other dietary changes and some exercise, but it's a fairly effortless way to help you shift some extra pounds or at least decreasing bloat.

Green tea.
Famous for it's anti-oxidant levels and ability to increase metabolism.
Fennel.
Used for it's appetite reducing properties.
Senna.
Frequently used for it's natural laxative effects, which can reduce bloating and water retention.
Peppermint.
Favoured by the likes of Madonna and Gwyneth for it's anti-bloat properties.

Obviously any weight loss related product can be abused, so try not to rely on teas, pills etc.

Happy Drinking :)

Yesterday I bought the Grazia...

and a Wispa (wehey for stress-eating, may I say the guilt is so not worth it) and got perved on by an old disgusting pervy man.
I did nothing to deserve this may I say and was rather pissed off, but anyway this story is beside the point.
Shortly after I met up with a girlfriend and got fabulously drunk and ate a fabulous amount. I have continued eating today, but, have also read the Grazia.
They have a new diet that promises a flatter stomach in 14 days and I must say it seems good. It involves drinking more water, eating slower, eating less, eating earlier etc and for a healthy diet it seems to be fairly sensible, especially for a diet from a fashion mag.
Click here to by the latest Grazia.

Model diets?

Tonight I discovered a website called Model Diet Plan apparently exposing the diet and exercise secrets of various models and celebrities.
A good concept, but a little misleading, many of the models we see today are those stick-thin models that parade the catwalk in Versace and Chanel, not those with hourglass figures and curves.
However, some of the advice is good, so I probably would check it out :)

Hi.

First, this is not in anyway a pro-anorexia blog.
I despise pro-anorexia. Or calling these diseases "ana" or "mia" or any of the other pretty little names stupid girls give these disease that make it seem any less deadly.

What this site may/probably will contain:

• Thinspiration - Not just super skinny girls with bones popping out all over the place but healthy thinspiration if I'm in a healthy emotional state.
• Occasional rants about my eating disorders.
• Food list - With nutrional information about various foods.
• Meal plans.
• General plans.
• Various resources/links.

Happy Reading.
