We all want to look younger, yet we continually ask ourselves “How can I look younger?”, and never seem to take the time to do anything about it. Our main calling card to the world is obviously our face. It’s the first thing people see when they meet us, and the last thing they remember when we leave. This being the case, it would make sense then that it should be the most important thing we should worry about when we are trying to look younger?

To start to diminish the lines in your face, or “crows feet”, you need to cleanse your face every morning and every evening with a very good scrubbing cleanser. One that will wash away all the dirt, open your pores, & leave your skin looking fresh. Keeping your skin fresh & clean will reduce the size of pores and keep your face shiny with a refreshed look. Afterwards you want to apply a nice facial cream to keep your face hydrated.

Now the final step to making one look younger is by far the most important! You need to buy a very good eye cream. Eye creams are specifically for the area around the eye, and they are not cheap! Once purchased, a good eye cream is to be put on after you have cleansed your face & applied your moisturizer. Simply dab a dime size amount onto your two (index is fine) fingers & apply directly on the crows feet area in a gentle, upward sweeping motion. Never just rub it in, for you want to dab it on so it stays close to the surface giving you maximum protection.

Performing this process in a daily routine will, after time, start to diminish the lines around your eyes, thus making you look younger. Give the process up to 2 weeks to start seeing results.

I hope you found this helpful and will start your process to becoming younger looking today! Besides taxes, the only other thing we cannot run from is getting older! But, if we take the time to lean how to take care of ourselves, and we do it consistently, we can slow the aging process, which in turn makes a lot of other things go up!

What would that be you ask? Your confidence!

Caution: 5 Reasons Why Arm Flab And High Protein Dieting Don’t Mix

There used to be a period in time when all we ate was what could be gathered or hunted. Arm flab, a common female nightmare, was most likely not a problem in those times.

Enter the mass production of food and the savvy marketing of snake oil diets.

Once big businesses caught wind of the profit to be made by selling food and diets, all the lies and misinformation starting hitting the air waves. Eating became very confusing

And to this date, I believe that high protein diets have had the biggest impact in our society. How so? Because high protein diets cause the fastest change on the weight scale in comparison to any other diet out there.

Nevertheless, consider the following 5 arm flab pitfalls of high protein diets before buying all those steaks:

1. Vanishing energy: Your body is most efficient at producing energy with a steady intake of carbs. Without them, your rate of energy production will drop by 300%. The end result? Massive brain fog and lethargy.

2. Diminished exercise capacity: Your muscles can produce a lot more ATP (energy currency) with carbohydrates. In their absence, exercise will become very painful and recovery will be virtually impossible.

3. Insulin issues: Very high protein intakes can mess up a normal insulin balance. Carbohydrates aren’t the only insulin-changing macronutrients.

4. An instantaneous loss in muscle tone: Water within your muscles makes them look tight and compact. Once you stop eating carbs, all the water will flush out.

5. The highest weight rebound: As illustrated by Stanford University research, high protein diets a la Atkins have the highest and largest rates of weight regain. Not good for those wishing to keep the arm flab off!

High protein diets are very seductive. After all, they do produce the fastest weight loss. And nothing is more motivating that literally seeing that scale move overnight. Unfortunately, said diets come at a very steep price. Even worse, you could potentially gain everything back once you start eating carbs again. For these reasons, I do NOT recommend high protein diets for women wishing to get rid of arm flab.

Once you understand the basic chemistry of food, you will be able to understand what foods will help you lose weight. You will also be able to reprogram your metabolism to maintain your weight at the desired level. There are three main types of categories to foods as far as your body is concerned.

Carbohydrates have been given a bad name from popular diets like the Atkins diet. Carbohydrates are not your enemy; over consumption of carbohydrates is your enemy. Carbohydrates are the means to give your body energy. Food breaks down to sugar in your body and fuels your muscles and brain. Fruits, vegetables and grains like rice and pasta are forms of carbohydrates. There are two types of carbohydrates; simple and complex. Simple or “fast” carbs are converted to sugar at a faster rate than complex carbs. Sweet foods like refined sugar, candy, honey or molasses and most sweet fruits are examples of simple carbs. Complex carbs are converted to simple sugars at a slower rate. Examples of complex carbs are potatoes, yams, rice and other whole grains.

Protein is what builds lean muscle. It also is the building block for hair, nail and maintaining vital organs. There are animal and non-animal proteins. Animal proteins can be found in fish, poultry and beef. Too much red meat is bad for you as it tends to be high in fat. Chicken breast and fish is a great way to get lean protein. Non-animal protein can be found in nuts, some plants and soy beans. You will need to eat a lot more non-animal proteins to substitute for animal proteins.

Fat has essential elements that control your metabolic rate. It is stored as energy reserves and can be found in animal fat, vegetables, nuts and dairy. When you eat fat, you wear fat. Fat takes a long time to break down in your body. It will take your metabolism a long time to turn fat into fuel, so there is a greater chance of having the fat stored as “reserves”.

Never fear, the Infinite Menu Planner in the Six Week Body Makeover kit will show you how to compromise a meal plan to integrate all of the essential food building blocks so that you won’t have to worry about what to eat.
