Fast nutrition fact: meat free substitutes aren't as healthy as they seem...

Fast nutrition fact...

 Despite being linked to better weight management and a reduced risk of developing detrimental diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease, slimmers who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet can still munch far from 'healthy' meals if they frequently favour meat free substitutes - this is simply due to the fact that these seemingly sensible sources often contain a substantial amount of salt, sugar and/or saturated fat per serving, and the equivalent amount of energy (if not more!) than their meat based counterparts.

Weight loss & dieting: why a 'healthy' weight isn't always a happy weight

Fast food for thought: a 'healthy' weight isn't always a happy weight... Although shaping a slender silhouette may see our self-esteem soar, flaunting the petite physique that society persistently portrays as representing a 'healthy' body weight can leave many living a far from 'healthy' or happy life.  This is simply due to the fact that in order for the average person to achieve and sustain such a slim silhouette, they must dedicate every ounce of energy to an extreme eating and exercise regime that not only leaves them feeling (chronically) famished, fatigued and fighting to flaunt a figure that they've been brainwashed into believing is 'healthy', but battling to banish a battered brain that's developed the psychological perception that a 'healthy' body is built from deprivation - the deprivation that leaves most feeling mentally debilitated, depressed and desperate to ditch the diets that decrease their waistline as well as ...

Fast weight loss fact... Although it may be tempting to overhaul our unhealthy habits overnight (particularly if we're preoccupied with fighting the flab fast!), one of the main mistakes that many dieters make is changing too much too soon, and doing too much too soon - a combination that regularly results in them dedicating every ounce of energy to drastic dietary changes that resemble unrealistic rules and restriction, and an excessive exercise regime that pushes them to participate in a form of fitness (often chronic cardio!) that fails to complement their current capabilities (think instantly embarking on an endurance based exercise regime when we struggle to sustain the stamina to climb a set of stairs!), both of which fail to create the sustainable lifestyle changes that are paramount for promoting long-term weight loss and  maintenance.  www.twitter.com/celerylips

Top beauty tip of the day... Although a statement set of brows should look sleek and sculpted, a frequent change in fashion trends has left many flaunting a set of sparse and shapeless strands that fail to flatter and frame the face. In order to ensure that your eyebrows are emphasised for all of the right reasons, here are our top three steps for how to re-gain a beautiful brow shape at home. 1.Place a pencil (or an orange stick - the ideal tool) at the side of the nose in a vertical position i.e.the tip of the pencil should be pointing towards the forehead - this is where the brows should start, and any hair before (above the bridge of the nose and between the start of each brow) should be removed to avoid a frown like appearance. 2.Keeping the pencil (or orange stick!) in the same position, swivel the tip until it's crossing the outer corner of the eye - this is where the brow should end, and any hair beyond this point should be removed to prevent the brows from lookin...
