Arm flab is unwanted fat that settles around the arm. It is described as flab because it tends to sway as we move. This condition can be caused by high fat diets, high sugar diets and bad diets.. Another way arm flab can be caused is by pulling weights regularly and then stopping the routine.. In time the body can develop flab or fat where the muscle used to be..

One great and easy weight loss tip is drinking Green Tea. This powerful tea has many healing benefits and one is its ability to help those lose weight. While it is not going to do it alone, as an extra aid it sure is an easy one to add to the diet and the daily routine. In the post below i will go through the benefits of green tea and its history..
What is Green Tea and Where is it From?
Green tea is a tea made from the leaves of Camellia Sinensis. This tea originates from China and history shows it has been used for over 4000 years. It is still currenty used today for its many health benefits..
While not all scientific evaluations of this plant have been proven many reviews indicate it can help. One benefit being that green tea drinkers have a lower chance of heart disease and developing certain types of cancer. Although there is no full on scientific evidence that plain green tea can produce weight loss, a green tea extract rich in polyphenols & caffeine has been shown to be great for overweight issues, since it induces thermogenesis & stimulates fat oxidation (meaning helps burn fat).
Green Tea and Weight Loss
The amazing benefits of green tea are its ability to help with weight loss. This is due to a few reasons, one being that it is a good appetite suppressant and another being that it speeds up the metabolism which helps burn fat better. Also because of its mild caffeine properties it also is a great energy drink to get the body moving and so more weight loss as well.. Good for motivating the body for regular exercise..
My Opinion..? What makes green tea so powerful to me is that it is so easy to get.. You can simply go down to most major supermarkets and purchase it within minutes.. Not only that but it is such a refreshing drink that it really is not a hard drink to add to the daily routine..
Some Green Tea Tips..
Some good green tea tips are adding lemon to your green tea. Another is having it on ice, (called Tra Da in Vietnam) for a lovely refreshing cool drink. Adding a bit of peppermint can give it a nice boost as well.. Use your imagination, green tea can go with many mainstream herbal drinks.. Enjoy..

The water fasting diet is one of the most talked about and discussed diets in the world. It simply is focused on water and in this post i will go into details..
To begin with the water fasting diet can be broken up into two categories. One being a partial water fasting diet and the other being a devoted water fasting diet. Each of which should be taken with care and checked with your doctor for health concerns.. The reason being is water fasting is a very fast way of detoxing so to some this shock of detoxing can be harmful if it happens so quickly. On another note the diet usually is just performed for 3 days however in extreme cases the diet has been performed for 5 to even 7 days.. This is another health concern as the body goes beyond its endurance.. Always check with your doctor before deciding on your choice. To me the best choice is a partial water diet. This meaning you still eat a bit, but for three days you eat only a small portion and follow your food intake with you guessed it PLENTY OF WATER..
Okay so to the two types of common Water Fasting Diets:
Partial Water Fasting Diet
This is a water diet based on still eating a little but satisfying your hunger cravings with plenty of good water. Basically said in a way, halve your food in take and replace this intake with fresh water. At first you may still feel hungry, but after a couple of days this will reduce. For a partial water fasting diet the recommendation is just 3 days.
A good intake of water over the day would be anything from 3 litres to 4 litres.. Make sure to eat plenty of high quality low saturated fat foods and protein and salad based is the best.
Devoted Water Fasting Diet
Okay this is the full on water fasting diet. It involves just water as the base. As a recommendation three days is a recommended duration for this one as well.. Always check with your doctor if you have any questions. So for three days drink plenty of fluids. The recommended amount of water would be the same as a partial diet, between 3 to 4 litres. I know this is not much when you are hungry but it is best not to over do your water intake as well..
Another important aspect is to watch your body, record how you feel during the day and see what your body does during the detox.. Always make sure to work your way into the diet more so that you are not one day eating bad, then bang, the water diet.. Move healthily into this diet, so to speak.
Water Fasting Diet Precautions
When water fasting, it is important to notice your bodies health. If you are not such a healthy person or have many conditions then ask your doctor or build yourself up to a more healthy state before starting. Because you are fasting and detoxing, many side effects can occur including nausea, headaches, tiredness, wake fullness and many more.. These are common. Also a break out in pimples is common as well.. I would not recommend doing on any (drug) medicine or anything that may low the immune system.
On another note the importance of clean drinking water as well, is crucial. This is your fuel for the next three days so make sure it is the cleanest for your body so the diet will work its magic properly..
Water is one of the most healing and powerful substances on the planet. – Drinking Water and Weight Loss
Water is one of the most powerful substances on the planet. Every human cannot go long without it, it is the bodies major needed source of fuel. Even just after a couple of days without it many would die. Because of these reasons the water fasting diet is a very quick and effective way for detoxing as well as for losing weight. Its basically giving the body the needed fuel (water) without or little food to help the body cleanse itself quickly..
A common weakness of all humans is the weakness for indulging on large amounts of food. No matter where we go orwhat we do people love to eat. Great for those that have fast metabolisms or those that cannot put on weight but for those that are struggling losing weight this could be the major cause.
Your Eating Until you are Full all the Time..!
Have you heard the common phrase past on by years and years of conditioning.. “Are you full yet..?”. With an almost innocent answer of “not yet” while someone piles more and more on your plate.. Does it sound familiar..? If so then you know what i mean when next you are crawling away from the dinner table bursting with fullness..
Conditioning and Weight Gain..
Could it be that many are overweight because many just could not say that they were satisfied.. My answer is definitely YES.. It’s obvious. The truth is none of us need to be sickly full, just satisfied full will suffice.. Trust me, you will not die eating to just satisfied.. So in answer this is a basic result of modern conditioning from your parents or from friends and every aspect of most cultures in the world..
So What is the Solution.. The Not Full Diet..?
The not full diet is simple, as soon as you feel satisfied stop eating. Cut down on your intake. Never eat until you are sickly full no more. That is a conditioning that needs to stop and is down right bad for the health. Drink plenty of water and be patient. Of course live a healthy based lifestyle, but the best aspect of this diet is it is not changing the way you live, just changing the amount you eat.. You may be surprised when you realise you are eating half as before and dropping a kilo a week..
Like anything else stress can cause a myriad of ailments, stress related illness, headaches, sleepiness and many more. However is it possible stress can cause one more.. Weight Gain..? Is weight gain just a myth or is it a cycle of what stress can cause as well..?
Many researchers are now indicating stress can cause sugars to burn more slower and stress can also cause us to be less productive in exercise. It makes sense in a lot of ways but i believe it depends on how each of us is made up.. To some gaining weight may be common but to others the oppisite may happen where we lose weight. I think it depends on how stress effects the make up of our mind, our eating habits and also our bodies..
What do you think..? Can stress cause weight gain?
