See What Happens if You Give Up Sugar for 3 Days

Almost all of us have thought about going on a diet at one time or another. For some it’s just a passing desire to shed a few pounds before a party; for others, losing weight is a struggle that lasts many years. However, one Swedish doctor,  Andreas Eenfeldt, has suggested it’s time to stop believing in myths about food and listen to the signals your body sends you. 

As is well known, we get energy from two different sources:

• from carbohydrates, which includes sugar;
• from fat.

For many years we’ve been told that fat is bad and that the only way to get thin is to eat low-fat products and celery. However, giving up sugar rather than fat is worth paying much more attention to. If you do, something very interesting will happen:

• Once you’ve stopped worrying about consuming fat (in reasonable quantities) and given up sugar, you’ll be able to stay slim on a permanent basis, and as a bonus you’ll have overall better health, more energy, and great skin and hair.

• You’ll no longer feel the need to check the calorie intake for everything you’re buying. Yet your waist will be the first thing to decrease in size.

If you give up sugar for as little as three days, you’ll soon notice a new feeling of satiety, and consequently you’ll feel satisfied despite eating less food. Many people who try this say they no longer want to eat a large supper and don’t even think about food until the next day’s breakfast.

A rough three-day menu

Breakfast :

• Scrambled eggs with ham, bacon or avocado 
• Boiled eggs with tomatoes and spinach 
• Cottage cheese (no less than 5% fat) with berries 
• Pancakes made with almond flour 
• A salad with green vegetables and olives 

Lunch:

• Meat or fish dishes: with vegetables (excluding carbohydrates like rice, pasta) 
• Soups (excluding the carbs, apart from potato and beans) 
• Salads (made with any vegetables and with vegetable oil) 

Diner:

• Roasted vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, bell peppers) 
• Meat or fish dishes: with vegetables (excluding carbohydrates like rice, pasta) 
• Salads (made with any vegetables and with vegetable oil) 
• Any of the options from breakfast 

Remember that any of these meal choices are interchangeable, and you should eat as much as you want and whenever you feel like doing so. Don’t be afraid to experiment and to try preparing ordinary food in new ways.


If you stick to this system for a while, you’ll be surprised to discover that you’ve dropped several clothes sizes. At the same time you’ll feel hungry less often, will be free of problems with your intestine and/or blood pressure, and be more energetic.


Most importantly, this method can put you in charge of your body and your life.

How To Burn Body Fat!

The process of “burning fat” can get very complicated if you want to go into the finer details but can be broken down to three main steps:

Mobilization

Transport

Oxidation (the burning of)

So, what do they mean?

Mobilization is releasing the fatty acids from the fat cells and getting it into the bloodstream. To do this you need to be doing a short high intensity form of exercise, ballet or similar.

Transport is as it sounds, transporting the newly released fatty acids into a working muscle via the blood. So if you are doing a intense strengthening exercises, the muscles will call upon the fatty acids transported by the blood for energy.

Oxidation, to put this simply, this is when the working muscles use fatty acids as energy and is being burnt.

Sounds simple doesn’t it?

1. Excesses – Clearly this is the big one. People are quick to say why they can not do something rather than actually do it. Even the things that they have never tried before.

2. Intensity – Ballet Body Sculpture workout classes have great intensity, yet it's a very elegant way to exercise and build a beautiful posture as well and burn the calories in your workouts.

3. Eating – This one is pretty clear too, but you’ll be surprised at how many people who follow an exercise plan don’t actually know what the are eating when it comes to calories, and they get upset when they don’t see the results they want.

3a. Eat Protein – Protein is the building blocks of our bodies, hair, nails, muscles etc. If you are exercising you will need to increase the calories you are getting from protein to fuel your body.

3b. Eat Healthy Fat – Good fats like plain nuts and nut butters, coconut oils, grass feed butters etc all have great properties in keeping our fat burning hormones up naturally.

3c. Keep Carbohydrates Low (ish) – Carbohydrates is a non essential macronutrient, our bodies can and have survived without eat carbs. Carbs help raise insulin which puts you more into a fat storing mode if timed wrong. So eat those before the exercise not after:)

4. Excuses!!!

5. Listening To The Wrong People – There are too many people in this world that give out bad health and fitness advice from the Government, media, all the way down to your best friend and the person trying to sell stuff like Herbalife, Forever Living, and Slimming clubs. So its no wonder that people don’t get what they want. With so much information coming at them from different angles what direction do you go down?

Always talk to and only listen to a professional trainer/coach. That might sound biased but a good trainer will teach you more in a few sessions than anyone I have listed in point 5.

So, how to burn fat?

Eat a diet plan mostly proteins and fats, having carbs the third priority. Follow a regular and intense training programme, mostly strength training based , so why not not try Ballet Body Sculpture Classes?:) Group classes or Private training sessions, if you really want to see great body changes coming quickly.

And don't give yourself excuses!:)

Enjoy the summer and I look forward to seeing you in our classes!

Pear Shape Body Type - All You Need To Know

What is a pear body shape?

The curvaceous pear usually has a small upper body with lean arms and a narrow waist. All the body fat is distributed around the lower stomach, hips, thighs and bottom, and the hip measurement will be bigger than the waist and chest. However, this isn’t always a bad thing: wide hips are a traditional sign of fertility, and are considered extremely desirable in many cultures around the world.

What happens when pear shapes gain weight?

Pears are more prone to cellulite than other shapes due to the concentration of fat around their hips. They have, however, less chance of developing medical problems like heart disease. Pear shapes are fortunate in that they have the potential to make a big difference to their bodies if they follow the correct training programme


What type of exercise should pear shapes do?

The classic pear-shaped woman has a well-defined waistline and an enviably flat tummy, so most of their training programme should be focused on their bottom and legs. Cardio exercise will help get rid of excess body fat, but it’s the toning exercises that will help pear shapes fit comfortably into skinny jeans. The best exercises are the ones that lengthen as well as tighten the leg and hip muscles, like ballet. Try some exercises from Ballet Body Sculpture. You can start with a few exercises online or join live group classes in you are in the area. Or sign up for some private tuition to get real gains and significant positive changes.

Which celebrities have pear shapes?

Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet and Coleen Rooney are great examples of celebrities who have made the most of their shape without having to resort to extreme crash diets.

What else should pears know about their shape?

Research shows that women with a hip measurement of 40 inches (size 14) or more appear to have some level of protection against heart disease that is absent in slimmer people. That’s because hip fat contains a natural anti-inflammatory called adiponectin, which prevents arteries swelling up and becoming blocked. Storing fat around the hips also has far fewer health risks than storing fat around the waist, although, as with all body shapes, it’s important to maintain a weight that’s healthy for your height.

GET RID OF CELLULITE FOREVER (NATURALLY)

Cellulite has often been termed “the curse of women” because so many suffer from the annoying orange peel skin dimples and fat deposits on their hips, bums and thighs. Unfortunately, too many women also throw thousands and thousands of dollars down the drain on totally ineffective “treatments” and useless products. That is because most people don’t really know what “cellulite” is, or what causes these odd dimples on the lower body trouble zones…

So if you don’t know what cellulite is, how can you treat it? 

Fact is, there is no real difference between cellulite fat, and regular fat. All of the cellulite sponges and creams designed to “dissolve” cellulite and other gimmicky devices are all ripping you off. Unfortunately, cellulite is actually caused by muscular atrophy, a condition that occurs when the layer of muscle becomes weak and undefined, and separates from the skin, making the unattractive fatty deposits visible. So the first thing you need to know is that cellulite treatment has nothing to do with your skin and everything to do with the muscles underneath the skin. And remember, cellulite removal has NOTHING to do with weight loss. Even the skinniest of girls can suffer from cellulite.

The good news is that there is a way to reverse muscular atrophy, and banish annoying cellulite forever. And no matter how much you weigh or how old you are, you can do this naturally without popping pills or using phony lotions.

HERE ARE 5 TOP TIPS TO GET RID OF YOUR CELLULITE FOREVER:

1. You CANNOT get rid of cellulite with creams or lotions: Stop using them! It’s that simple. There are dozens of cellulite reduction creams on the market, but they don’t do anything to treat your cellulite. The dimples caused by cellulite are a superficial result of a problem below the surface of your skin, therefore creams will do nothing.

2. Medi-Spa Treatments do not work: Numerous FDA reports show that medi-spa treatments designed to remove cellulite have actually scarred and injured a number of women permanently. From body-wrapping to endermologie, these treatments are completely ineffective (but can be very expensive).

3. Cellulite is NOT genetic, you CAN get rid of it: Ignore what you’ve been told, cellulite is not a genetic problem and you do not have to be stuck with it forever. Believing these falsehoods will just prevent you from taking the steps you need to get rid of your cellulite.

4. You can get rid of cellulite no matter how old you are: Because cellulite is a muscle issue, you can always fix it by strengthening your muscles. All you have to do are some simple movements that target specific muscles in the cellulite affected area to get rid of your cellulite. You can do these movements at home – they are not vigorous or overly strenuous and can be performed by women of all fitness levels.

5. The ONLY way to get rid of cellulite forever is with specifically targeted lower-body movements: The movements are unique, and directly target the muscles in the cellulite areas. They focus on lifting, toning and shaping the muscle layers, pushing them towards the skin and getting rid of the dimpled appearance. Unfortunately, these are not movements that you’ll be able to learn at your nearest gym. This natural way to remove cellulite does not make use of weights or machines. 

Ballet Body Sculpture exercises are specifically designed to target all areas that women are most concerned about, including cellulite, using a simple equation of 20% of your effort for 80% of results (and not the other way round, unlike in a regular gym):

With this program you will learn how to target every single one of your lower body muscles, with simple, light movements. Sign up for our classes, online program, or request a private training session and you will attain the tight and sexy look that you’ve always dreamed of. If you have some fat in your cellulite zones, it will be burned off as fuel so you will also lose any unhealthy excess body fat.

With our online classes you can even do these movements from the privacy of your own home and if you start with this targeted muscle stimulation method today you will start seeing results after approximately 2 to 4 weeks. It’s your body so just go ahead and do the right thing for it!
