I’ve Only Eaten Meat and Cheese for 7 Years And Lost 130 Pounds Doing It

    My mom never struggled with weight. She has always had an incredible figure, so she didn't really think about sugar or fat when she fed us kids. Like most parents in the '80s, it just wasn't on her radar, but it did start to affect me. By the end of middle school, I considered myself heavy. And while most people experience the freshman 15 in college, I gained more like the freshman 50. I tried every diet imaginable. I would starve myself down and then regain twice as much. I tried a diet of only pickles. I tried to see how many days I could go without eating solid food. I tried all kinds of nutty stuff. I also did regular things, like cutting calories and exercising, but I could never stay not-fat. © Provided by Good Housekeeping When I got married in 2002, my wedding dres...

How to keep skin radiant in winter

    In the winter season, safeguard yourself against dry and dehydrated skin. Give yourself oil massages, use cream-based products and apply cold cream before sleeping, says an expert. Few tips: * Turn to cream-based products early: If winter is approaching, it's time to turn to skincare products that have cream-based thick moisturizers. So, your light water-based moisturizer will pave way for a heavy and thick cream. Switch over to a milder facewash and use a sunscreen that has moisturiser. While removing make-up too, use moisturizing cleansers and toners. * Give yourself oil massages: Just when you wake up in the morning, give yourself 15 minutes to apply warm oil all over the body, including on the face and the scalp. Leave it for an hour as you finish your morning chores. ...

What should take paracetamol for

    Cochrane is the international research group that adds up the evidence for treatments by combining results from high-quality studies, and it has looked at paracetamol quite thoroughly. Guidance from Nice recommends paracetamol as the first-line painkiller for low back pain. Yet Cochrane says that for acute back pain, 4g of paracetamol a day is no better than a placebo. It couldn’t find any good evidence that it worked for chronic backache. For hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis, the drug provides such a small amount of pain relief that researchers wondered if it actually provided any benefit a person would notice. If you’ve got a cold, paracetamol can help make your nose run less, but won’t help with sneezing, coughing, discomfort, tiredness or a sore throat. For migrai...

To Buy 20 iPhones then Woman Gets 20 Boyfriends

    We can safely say that JoAnne the Scammer has nothing on Xiaoli. That's the name the Chinese media have given to a woman who reportedly got 20 boyfriends to each buy her an iPhone 7, which she then sold and used to make a down payment on a house in the countryside, the BBC reports. A user with the screen name Proud Qiaoba posted a missive on the Tian Ya Yi Du blogging platform detailing how her coworker, dubbed Xiaoli, ran game on the 20 men that assumed they were dating her. Xiaoli, who works in Shenzen, asked each of her 20 boyfriends to buy her a new iPhone. She then sold all the phones on phone recycling site Hui Shou Bao for 120,000 Chinese yuan (about £14,500) and used that money to buy a house. "Everyone in the office is talking about this now," Proud Qiaoba wrote i...

Special tips: How to make your body stronger

      Stay committed to the gym and constantly fine-tune your workouts, and you're sure to be significantly stronger in a few weeks. But damn it, sometimes that's just not soon enough like when you're meeting your buddies at the gym in an hour, and you want to make sure you smoke them on the bench press. Behold, our best tips to get immediately stronger: 1. Work up to your heaviest weight instead of using a pyramid. Do several warm-up sets with low reps that prepare you to lift your heaviest on your last few sets. That way, you'll have energy for those sets — the most crucial ones for strength gains. Say you're planning to squat with 300 pounds for five reps. You could do 135 pounds for six reps, 185 for five, 225 for three, 275 for two, and then 300 for five. By the tim...

Freedom of expression means the freedom to offend

    She also accused the Sun of hypocrisy over free speech. I was contacted privately by individuals who work at the Sun and at News UK to say that they were embarrassed and that they were ashamed that Kelvin MacKenzie was allowed to peddle such hatred, she said. “But they had to do it in private, because while the Sun talks about freedom of speech I don’t think it would be very happy to extend that privilege to its journalists who might want to publicly criticise its position in this scandal. In a civilised society, we accept that freedom of speech has limits and you cannot just use your powerful platform to publicly attack someone and effectively incite hatred against them and smear them as a terrorist sympathiser, which is what Kelvin MacKenzie did. I do wear the headscarf ...

Could be killed if you drink 8 glasses of water every day

    A new study says that drinking too much activates a protective swallowing inhibition in the brain. And can cause people to suffer from water intoxication. Apparently, drinking excess liquid, especially when we're not thirsty, could even kill us. It's a common piece of advice – drink six to eight glasses of water, or fluid, every day. The suggestion has been around for some time and appears on the NHS website. But while drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated is important, experts are warning that consuming too much might actually been damaging to our health. The danger is down to sodium levels in the blood. Too much water can lead to hyponatremia, which is when vital levels of sodium in your bloodstream become abnormally low. Hyponatremia can lead to lethargy, nausea, ...

New BMW X2 concept

    Presented at the 2016 Paris Motor Show, the BMW X2 Concept is a new addition to the long list of opinion dividing SUV designs by the German marque. Following in the footsteps of the X6, the X2 is a compact SUV with a coupe inspired roofline and rakish front end that showcases a headlight treatment that has become the mainstay of the current generation BMW SUVs. That and the marketing jargon spouted by BMW PR gives out strong hints that the X2 will definitely make it into production, most likely as a slot-in between the X1 and X3. Product diversification is good, but dividing ranges this thin already can’t be a great idea, can it?

If your husband cheated then what to do

    You saw the signs. You've assessed the damage. Maybe you even know why your husband strayed. Now, you're dealing with the fact that, yeah, he committed the ultimate act of infidelity, and maybe he even owned up to it. While you might be tempted to throw your wedding band out the window, don't - there could be a happy ending to your tragedy. Don't freak out You shouldn't act out, Laurie Watson, sex and relationship therapist and host of the podcast Foreplay, says, meaning: You shouldn't tell your kids or everyone you know that your spouse cheated. Instead, she says, you need to take some time to figure out what everything means - because it doesn't necessarily mean divorce. "A lot of people have affairs and their marriage can be strengthened after," she says. (Does that mea...
