Just several generations ago, women who planned having babies were following wise dietary advice of their grandmothers. Over thousands of years, women had accumulated the healthiest and most practical approaches to properly feeding themselves and their unborn. Pregnant women of many traditional societies still follow a sophisticated set of rules (and taboos!) that shapes their everyday dietary choices. In fact, married couples are advised by their elders to start eating particular foods, and avoid others, many months before conceiving a baby.

Something must be terribly wrong with conventional advice on “healthy dieting”. Millions of American women embrace a fat-free or vegetarian lifestyle, exercise vigorously, count calories, and… wind up succumbing to obesity, diabetes, depression, and a whole host of other degenerative diseases.
One of the big reasons we’re seeing more obesity in our society these days is that we are too stressed and busy to make healthy dinners at home, often opting to get fast food at the nearest drive-thru instead. Fast foods compromise the quality of the diet by replacing more healthy foods. Fast foods are known for having high content of saturated and trans-fat, low content of fiber and massive portion sizes, which leads to obesity.
Dieting Myths …
We are advised to eat foods, which are generally antagonistic to the human metabolism and make us look soggy and flabby:
- grains
- newfangled vegetable oils
- fibre
On top of that, restriction of healthy animal fats in the diet and over exercising:
Remember, certain fats are essential components of the human body. Essential fats make up the outer coating of nerve cells and form the basis of many hormones in the body – including the sex hormones. We need these lipids (a medical term for fats), but not the fat cells deposited in all the wrong places. So you can see that some fats are absolutely essential for a healthy body. You can eat certain fats in your diet, and at the same time remove the unsightly bulges of storage fat around your waist and hips.
- facilitate the process of tear and wear of your body
- deprive us of essential fat-soluble vitamins
- increase our risk of plunging into depression.
Women’s hormones and fat cells are extremely sensitive to carbohydrates and oils – this is why, if we follow conventional advise, we tend to gain weight easily and have such a hard time trying to shed extra pounds.
Avoid any carbohydrate that is – or can be – white. The following foods are thus prohibited, except for within 1.5 hours of finishing a resistance-training workout of at least 20 minutes in length: bread, rice, cereal, potatoes, pasta, and fried food with breading. If you avoid eating anything white, you’ll be safe.

3. Eat liberal amounts of organic coconut oil and natural butter – you need them for your youthful skin and alert mind.
Eat more ‘non-animal’ based oils like coconut, olive, walnut, flax, and hemp. Fats from game animals are acceptable for all of you hunters out there. Fish oils (high in Omega 3 fatty acids) have also been shown to have a positive effect on blood sugar.
4. Stop counting calories – the theory of calories is a myth and it does not work.
5. Every day, engage in some moderate physical activity (walking, yoga, or Pilates).
Hit your local gym and perform some light exercises. You will soon start feeling relaxed and full of energy, all because you have successfully burned a lot of your body fat!
Just follow these 5 Simple How-To’s and see how amazingly they work. Oh, and please do not forget to tell your best friend about this so that you can go shopping together for clothes of a smaller size for slimmer, healthier, and happier YOU! ;)

Tips on Exercise:
If you’ve been bugging your spouse to quit that nasty smoking habit to no end, then this may help convince him or her. A recent study has reportedly found that nonsmokers who are married to someone who smokes are put at big risks for stroke. Yes, that dangerous secondhand smoke may well just be the reason for your spouse’s stroke! I don’t know about you but if you love someone, do you really want to put him or her at such great risk?
The study, led by researchers of the Harvard School of Public Health, showed that being married to a current smoker increased the risk of a first stroke by a whopping 42 percent among those who never smoked in the first place. Also, former smokers who had a smoking spouse had a 72 percent (!!!) increased risk for stroke compared to those who were married to a person who never ever smoked.
Fortunately, the risk can be cut if the spouse FINALLY kicks the habit. Yes, you must say adieu to your cancerous cigarette sticks. Take that big step and sacrifice that habit. You know very well that it’s not good for you. It’s not good for your skin. It’s not good for your health. Now, given this new piece of information, you also know very well that it’s not good for your loved ones!
The million dollar question now is — Will you quit (or at least TRY) or will you just let your loved ones die?
