The Lemonade Detox Diet - A Simple Recipe For Weight Loss

The Lemon Diet, also known as the master cleanse, is a diet resulting in rapid weight loss over a period of several days to about a week. Lemons being rich in antioxidants and vitamins, helps to detox the body. Thus, it is very important to introduce citrus fruits like lemon, grapefruit, oranges and kiwi in your daily diet.
The lemon detox diet was popularized by singer Beyonce Knowles who announced at the Oprah Winfrey Show that she lived on a lemon diet with cayenne pepper and maple syrup for 15 days and lost 20 pounds (9 kgs) in two weeks.

Nevertheless, the lemonade diet has been around for 50 years. Originally developed by Stanley Burroughs, this is designed to cleanse your body of toxins, the major benefit being rapid weight loss. The main reason for this weight loss is that this diet limits your caloric intake by a tremendous amount. This dramatic cut in calories results in a loss of considerable amount of weight in a very short period of time. This diet can be resorted to by someone who has to attend a social function in a couple of weeks and need to lose a lot of weight to look their best for the event.

THE BEST KEPT SECRETS TO GET RID OF BLACKHEADS

Blackheads are so common these days. They are caused by dead skin and oil clogging up the pores of the skin. And they usually attack the nose. I have compiled for you the best proven ways of getting rid of black spots for good.

1.      Use natural face cleansers
Oat meal mask, honey mask, lemon mask and all other deep natural face masks are very effective for getting rid of black spots. This is because they cleanse the face and get rid of the dead skin. Use this once a week for good results.

2.      Cleanse face thoroughly
This helps get rid of dirt and grime, as these can lead to accumulation of dead skin on the pores. Cleanse thoroughly with warm water. You can also use a towel; soak it in water and place it on your face for 15 minutes. Alternatively, press the side of the blackheads with the towel or cotton wool to squeeze them out.

3.      Sweating
During sweating, the dead skin and oil can be softened making it easy to remove. However wash your face immediately to avoid adding insult to injury by having dry sweat block pores as well.

4.      Toothpaste

The use of toothpaste can also greatly help. Put paste on the toothbrush and scrub the area where the spots are.

TIP AND TRICKS FOR OIL PULLING

This involves using a table spoon to pass cold pressed extra virgin coconut oil round your mouth for 15 minutes, or simply chewing it. It helps whiten teeth, improve overall health, give a better looking skin and has amazing anti-bacterial and anti-viral importance. Here are some tips and tricks to help you pull this off
1.      Use in solid form
Having the coconut oil in solid form is much better and less nasty especially for starters, in comparison with having it in liquid form. Just chew the oil until it melts.

2.      Start small
Use smaller amounts off your oil to avoid gaging or even swallowing it when it accumulates in your mouth. As you get used to having oil in your mouth, you can gradually increase in amount of oil you can use.

3.      Brush thoroughly after oil pulling
This helps you get rid of all the germs that have been loosened by the oil during the oil pull. Brush and floss immediately after with warm water.

4.      Best in the morning
It is best to do your oil pulling in the morning before having or doing anything because most of the germs build up overnight. This is the best time to grab them unaware

5.      Distract yourself

This can help keep your mind off how nasty the oil is, for starters, and helps time fly by very quickly. Do something to distract you, for example doing the dishes or making breakfast.

The 14 Best Things To Eat After A Workout

1. Eggs
Protein and carbs are the two keys to a good post-workout meal. Eggs have the former covered. At just 70 calories each, eggs pack 6.3 grams of protein and are one of the few foods that naturally contain vitamin D. Also, don’t let the Rocky movies fool you; raw eggs have no advantages over cooked ones. In fact, cooking eggs allows your body to absorb almost twice the amount of protein.
2. Quinoa
For your dose of carbs, brown rice is fine, but it can’t compete with all the vitamins and nutrients found in quinoa (pronounced “keen-wah”). It also contains far more protein and fiber than brown rice, and requires less time to prepare.
3. Orange Juice
Instead of a Gatorade, grab a glass of OJ. In addition to vitamin C, you’ll also get significantly more potassium than you would from popular sports drinks, which are generally intended for use during extended exercise, not after. Potassium is an important electrolyte that helps the body restore its fluid levels. Orange juice also works well for protein shakes.
4. Kefir
5. Bananas
6. Salmon
7. Blueberries
8. Whole-Grain Pita and Hummus
9. Dried Fruit and Nuts
10. Pineapple
11. Sweet Potatoes
12. Kiwi
