Nike Air Force XXV Low Player Exclusive Team USA Basketball

2007-08-25T18:11:00.000-07:00

Over the course of it illustrious 25 year history, the Nike Air Force 1 Low has played canvas to some of the most impressive and most sought after Player/Entertainer/Event/etc. exclusives ever created. With the Nike Air Force XXV Low set to release soon, we can only assume that the 25 year anniversary low will follow suit. Though the Nike Air Force XXV low has yet to officially release, the style is set to release later this fall, PE styles of the sneaker have been created and distributed. Team USA, competing now in the FIBA championships and in next year's Olympics, has received their own "Team USA Basketball" Nike Air Force XXV Low PE. The "Team USA" XXV Lows feature a Red/White/Blue Patent upper with an American Flag on the tongue and the USA Baksetball logo on the insole.

Air Jordan Classic 87

2007-08-25T18:10:00.000-07:00

If you thought ‘07 was an important year to the Air Force Ones, what do you think next year means to the Air Jordans?! The Air Jordan line will celebrate 23 years in 2008 and will handle sneaker releases like never before.

Probably by now you know about the “23 Packages” that release once a month in every month next year except for February. With those being as limited as the DMP packages and creating lineups similar to iPhone lineups, alot of heads are going to have to get their Jumpman fix from other sources.

Something that I do admire Jordan Brand for doing next year is taking inspiration from Jordan models to create new shoes rather than taking a classics and modifying it. This model has similar lines as the Air Jordan 2 low (the shoe won the Slam Dunk contest in) but added elephant print resembles the Air Jordan 3. The second pair is a classic black patent leather with a simple, clean look. Look for both of these to release in February 9th for $105.

Weight Control Diet

2007-08-24T19:45:00.000-07:00

ianski - Tapping Into the Web's Conversation

Weight Control Diets Gain Momentum

There seems to be a diet plan for every type of person. Most of these diet plans usually make the claim that they are the best weight loss program around. Weight loss diets like the Diet la Shangri, the South Beach Diet and the Atkins Diet, may work for some people, but there is not a specific healthy diet available that can work for every person or every lifestyle.

How To Find A Weight Control Diet Fit For You

New weight control diets seem to be created daily, all promising that they are the weight control diet that is perfect for you. Despite the different approaches these diets take, they can all be considered weight control diets. To find a weight control diet that is right for you, you have to take your lifestyle, environment and personal eating habits into account. It is important that you find a weight control diet that you can follow for life. The most important thing to focus on when looking for a weight control diet is balance. Benefits of Weight Control Diets
By focusing on controlling your weight and finding a healthy diet that is easy for you to follow, you can help your body maintain a healthy weight. It is important to view any diet as a weight control diet instead of a weight loss diet or weight loss program. This will help you create healthy goals instead of trying to constantly lose weight.

Why Weight Control Diets Are Important

By starting a weight control diet now, you are reducing the risk of "yo-yo dieting" and potential health risk related to obesity. Finding a healthy weight that your body is comfortable maintaining can help reduce stress and heart disease. It is more important to learn to maintain a healthy weight than trying lose any additional weight. Dieting is not a one time venture, instead you have to learn to change your behaviors and lifestyles to suit your new relationship with food and health. Taking small steps like cutting back on artifical sugars and reducing your calorie intake can really jump start any diet program you decided to try. By incorporating a proper diet into your daily life you can make small changes that can have lasting results. No matter what diet you decide to try and ultimately stick with you, you have to be committed to your goals.

Shangri La Diet

2007-08-24T19:40:00.000-07:00

ianski - Tapping Into the Web's Conversation

What Is The Shangri La Diet?

The Shangri La Diet is a weight loss program based on the book of the same name by Seth Roberts, an associate professor of psychology at UC Berkeley. It is based on the concept that at any given time, your body desires to be a specific weight, and it will increase or decrease feelings of hunger and its metabolic rate in order to obtain that weight. According to the Shangri La Diet, eating certain foods causes a shift in the weight that your brain wants you to be, based on flavor. In other words, eating certain foods makes your brain think that you should weigh a lot, so you eat a lot. At the same time, there are some foods that make your brain think you should eat very little.

What Is The Diet Plan Of The Shangri La Diet?

To cure this, the Shangri La Diet recommends consuming 100-400 calories of sugar water and/or flavorless edible oil every day, at least an hour before or after consuming anything. This practice breaks the brain's connection between flavor and calories, causing the body to eat less, and consequently generating weight loss without being hungry.

Besides the sugar water/oil, the Shangri La Diet allows you to eat whatever you want, but Roberts reminds dieters that an unhealthy diet is still bad for you, and the Shangri La Diet should go along with a healthy eating habit of small portions of nutritious foods. The Shangri La Diet also has some "extra credit" techniques to offer additional weight loss tips. This includes eating foods with less flavor, trying new foods and flavors, cooking more, eating one food at a time, and eating foods that are digested slowly.

The Shangri La Diet follows a similar concept to the L.A. Weight Loss program. Both encourage portion control as an essential element of weight loss. However, the Shangri La Diet puts much less stress on nutrition and balanced meals while L.A. Weight Loss makes sure that there are elements of each food group in every meal.

What Are The Results?

Practitioners of the Shangri La Diet, including Roberts, claim that the diet's ability to reduce appetite is dramatic, often immediate, and maintainable. They notice that eating what they used to consider small meals makes them feel extremely full, they no longer have an interest in their previously favorite foods, and they have an aversion to food. The Shangri La Diet can be considered a diet based on natural weight loss, in which you eat less calories than you burn, because it suppresses your appetite and causes you to eat less. However, it does not promote healthy weight loss because eating too little can slow your metabolism. Also, it does not include exercise as an important element.

Weight Loss Program

What Is A Weight Loss Program?

A weight loss program is an organized plan created to help people lose weight. It is important to talk to a health care professional about controlling your weight before deciding on a weight loss program. If your health care provider encourages you to lose weight, a weight loss program is an effective way to help you reach your goals. It is important to choose a program that is based on regular physical activity, and an balanced and healthy diet plan that you can easily follow. The most successful weight loss programs promote healthy behaviors that you can incorporate to your everyday life.

The safest and most effective weight loss programs include in their plans:

Nutritious eating strategies that decrease calories but don't prohibit specific foods or food groups

Suggestions on how to increase moderately intense physical activity

Gradual and consistent weight loss, on average about ½ to 2 pounds per week. This may be a bit faster when you start your diet

A maintenance plan to keep the weight off once you've lost it

How Do Different Weight Loss Programs Compare?

Some weight loss programs call for drastic changes rather than healthy changes that are meant to sustain for life. The Celebrity Diet calls for only drinking a vitamin-infused juice formula and water for two days. Although there is immediate weight loss, this diet cannot be maintained for life. Another drastic diet, Diet Shangri La, has its dieters consume 100-400 calories of sugar water and/or flavorless edible oil every day, at least an hour before or after consuming anything. This weight loss program claims to suppress appetite, causing dieters to eat less; however, it does not encourage exercise.

Other weight loss programs are meant for a complete change in lifestyle so that dieters can maintain their weight loss. The South Beach Diet consists of three phases. It is about permanently changing your eating habits, having a variety of food, eating good carbs, healthy fats, and avoiding overly-refined processed foods, high-fat meats, and saturated fats. This weight loss program is purely based on food changes that are very healthy and useful for weight loss, however, it neglects to encourage exercise. The Atkins Diet is also a multiple-phase diet. It promotes eating healthy foods, but its focus is low-carbohydrate. It is also a food-based weight loss program that neglects to mention exercise. A third weight loss program is the Zone Diet, which focuses on a 40/30/30 ratio of calories obtained from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats respectively. All three diets are about proportions of food to each other rather than total caloric intake. They are considered with consuming what they consider to be a proper ratio of each food group, which will lead to weight loss.

Where Can I Find A Weight Loss Diet?

With so many weight loss diet programs out there, it is hard to figure out which one offers the best diet. At the same time, having so many options give you the opportunity to try many different strategies and figure out which one is best for your body to achieve weight loss.
The internet has become a huge resource for dieters to find a weight loss diet. There is every form of weight loss online. Every fad diet, along with weight loss clinics and books, has a website with information about their weight loss diet. The internet is a great place to find a free weight loss program. However, it is important to check with your physician before starting a weight loss diet, in order to make sure it is healthy for your body and will be effective and safe.

Which Weight Loss Diets Work Best?

The most effective weight loss diets are those that involve a change in lifestyle. While there are plenty of fast weight loss diets, they tend to be ineffective in the long run because they take drastic measures for a quick drop in weight, but these measures cannot become a part of a person's daily life and are often unhealthy if someone tried to continue them for a long period of time. In many weight loss diets, the first phase involves a drastic loss of weight. However, the most effective weight loss diets involved multiple phases that help dieters maintain that drastic loss of weight with moderate healthy changes that can be incorporated into a dieter's everyday life.

How Do I Find A Weight Loss Diet For Me?

Changing your lifestyle requires you to know your habits and understand what you need to alter in order to lose weight. One way of understand how your eating habits affect you is through a personality type diet. This type of weight loss diet analyzes your diet personality based on your answers from a quiz that asks you questions about how and what you eat. Once you understand yourself and realize elements of your dieting habits that you did not realize before, you can create a weight loss diet for yourself to rectify those habits that cause you to gain weight.

Dr. Kushner's Personality Type Diet is a well-known and effective weight loss diet that looks at your eating and exercising habits, labels you based on your eating, exercising, and coping strategies, and helps you lose weight based on your diet personality.

Diet Plan

2007-08-24T19:26:00.000-07:00

ianski - Tapping Into the Web's Conversation

What Is A Diet Plan?

A diet plan is an extremely important to have in order to achieve weight loss. Most weight loss programs put a diet plan as the top element of their program because what and how much you eat are extremely important in losing weight. The best weight loss program includes a healthy and nutritious diet plan, along with regular exercise.

Diet plans can be found through websites that offer weight loss online, health and nutrition books, and weight loss programs and clinics. There are free and paid programs available, depending on the extent of counseling you want in creating your diet plan.

In choosing a diet plan, it is also very important to include an exercise plan. Daily exercise is necessary in order to maintain healthy weight loss. You cannot lose weight and maintain that weight with just change of diet. A combination of daily activity and a healthy and nutritious plan will lead to stable weight loss. Once you are at your goal weight, your diet plan is no longer a weight loss plan but rather a lifestyle that you maintain in order to stay at your desire healthy weight.

Why Is It Important To Have A Diet Plan?

It's important to have a diet plan because it gives the dieter a course to follow. It keeps a dieter on track with healthy and nutritious eating habits. If a dieter does not have a diet plan, it is much easier to lose focus and motivation and develop poor eating habits that will not help weight loss. If you do not have a diet plan, you are more likely to take drastic measures and diet inconsistently, leading to failure in your goal of weight loss.

What Are The Different Types Of Diet Plans?

Some diet plans are based around natural weight loss, in which the dieter consumes less calories than they burn. These diet plans focus on portion control and calorie intake. When following them, however, it is important to eat enough because a dieter's metabolism can slow if enough calories aren't consumed. It is also important to remember to choose healthy food. Although eating less calories than you consume can help you lose weight, eating unhealthy foods can have detrimental effects on your body.

Other diet plans are based on the nutritional value of foods and the food groups they are in. They focus less on the number of calories, and more on making sure meals have a certain percentage of each food group. They do stress to watch portions and not to overeat, but their main concern is balancing carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats in a daily diet to incite weight loss.

Healthy Diet

2007-08-24T19:11:00.000-07:00

ianski - Tapping Into the Web's Conversation

How To Find A Healthy Diet

A healthy diet should focus on balance. You should follow a diet plan that include the basic food groups and allows you to indulge on occasion. A healthy diet is not meant to restrict you, but rather teach you the importance of portion control and moderation. Any diet such as the cabbage soup diet, where you do not have any variety, is not meant to be a long term weight loss diet. No healthy diet will ever ask you to make unreasonable changes to your lifestyle. The point of a healthy diet is to provide you with a positive relationship with food.

Not Every Diet Is A Healthy Diet

You may believe that every weight loss program is designed to be a healthy diet. In fact, many of you will try a diet without even checking if it has any medical proof supporting it. Diets like the Diet la Shangri, was not created using years of medical research or focus groups, but instead by a medical student who tested the affects of his diet on himself. Everyone is out to make money and whether or not this diet seems to be a healthy diet or not, you should never try a weight control diet that has not been thoroughly researched and reviewed.

Why Most Fad Diets Are Not Healthy Diets

Many fad diets or popular diets are not healthy diets. The creators of most of these diets are merely trying to make money off of your dieting dilemmas. Whether they use celebrity endorsements or weight loss guarantees, they are usually just selling you a quick tips to diet failure.

Luckily, There Are Healthy Diets Out There

There are healthy diets that allow you to lose weight and maintain your weight loss. Diets like the Zone Diet and Weight Watchers, really stress the importance of balance while also allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods. You should look for a diet that limits your cholesterol, salt, sugar and fat intake. A healthy diet may ask you to limit your intake of certain foods, but it will rarely, if ever, ask you to give anything up for good. Instead, your body should respond to eating healthy foods and ultimately you will crave those unhealthy foods less often. The key to any healthy diet is to learn to make it a lifestyle change not just a temporarily fix. If you follow a healthy diet, your body will not only look better but the extra nutrients and vitamins found in healthy food will have you feeling better as well.

Abs Diet

2007-08-24T19:09:00.000-07:00

ianski - Tapping Into the Web's Conversation

What Is The Abs Diet?

The Abs Diet is a weight loss diet program created by the editor-in-chief of Men's Health Magazine, David Zinczenko. Through its nutrition and exercise program, it claims to help dieters eat more to weigh less, turn fat into muscle, look and feel younger, supercharge their sex life, and live without pain. It focuses on achieving diet weight control by listing foods in certain categories of how often you should eat them, and by following a specific workout plan that focuses on strength training three times a week with cardiovascular warm-up, additional cardiovascular exercise on non strength-training days, and abs exercises twice a week.

What Is The Diet Plan Of The Abs Diet?

The Abs Diet is based around a "bulls-eye" diet plan in which dieters eat six times a day and choose their food based on the general diet food health products included in the bulls-eye. In the center of the bulls-eye are the "power 12" diet foods: almonds and other nuts, beans and legumes, spinach and other green veggies, dairy (fat-free/low-fat), instant oatmeal (unsweetened, unflavored), eggs, turkey/lean meat (steak, chicken and fish), peanut butter (all-natural), olive oil, whole grain bread/cereal, extra protein (whey) powder, and raspberries and other berries. The outer rings of the bulls-eye recommend foods to eat often, then foods to eat occasionally, and the outermost ring has foods to eat rarely. The Abs Diet nutrition plan is not a low carb diet. Instead, it focuses on diversifying meals to get a combination of lean protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats.

What Makes The Abs Diet Different?

Although it carries many similarities to other diet programs, the Abs Diet is unique for various reasons. The 12 power foods listed contain the foods that make up Mediterranean diet, including fish, grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and olive oil; however, the Abs Diet is more a more complete diet program because it also includes an exercise regimen.

The Abs Diet is also more complete by other diets because it promotes a diet that is meant to be maintained for a lifetime. The foods listed and the exercise regimen can be incorporated into a dieter's daily lifestyle permanently in order to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. While other diets, such as the Cabbage Soup Diet, focus on instant weight loss with a diet plan meant for a limited number of days, the Abs Diet, encourages a nutrition plan that can be followed forever to reach that goal weight and stay there.

Mediterranean Diet

2007-08-24T19:04:00.000-07:00

ianski - Tapping Into the Web's Conversation

What Is The Mediterranean Diet?

The Mediterranean Diet is not much different than our dietary recommendations. However on the Mediterranean Diet, they don't follow them exactly. In general, the weight control diets of Mediterranean people contain a relatively high percentage of calories from fat. Like a low carb diet the focus remains on protein.

The Good Fat Found In The Mediterranean Diet

People who follow the Mediterranean diet eat less saturated fat than those who follow a typical American weight loss diet. In fact, their saturated fat consumption is well within our dietary guidelines of a healthy diet.

More than half the fat calories in a Mediterranean Diet come from monounsaturated fats (mainly from olive oil). Monounsaturated fat doesn't raise blood cholesterol levels the way saturated fat does. In America there is saturated fat in almost everything eaten. American dieters are obsessed with the latest diet food, health product or low fat alternatives, but they usually don't consider the amount of saturated fat they are consuming. The Mediterranean Diet focuses on hearty meals that fill you up for the long run.

The less saturated fat you allow in your diet, the better. So, whether you follow the Mediterranean Diet by the book or not, you should adapt some of their methods of cooking, limiting your intake of highly saturated foods and tons of white bread.

Why The Mediterranean Diet Can Be Healthy

The heart disease rate in Mediterranean countries is lower than in the United States. Death rates are lower, too. But this may not be entirely due to the diet. Lifestyle factors (such as more physical activity and extended social support systems) may also play a part. However, Americans are often attracted to quick fix diets like the Cabbage Soup Diet or the Watermelon Diet that provide temporary rapid weight loss. The Mediterranean Diet includes vegetables, fruits, meats and leafy greens. The Mediterranean Diet came about because of all the fresh food available in Mediterranean countries. The Mediterranean Diet celebrates a variety of food and unlike in the American culture, they understand the importance of portion control and they fill up on fresh food instead of tons of processed and sugary food.

The key to the Mediterranean Diet is to appreciate fresh food. Not only is it filling, it is also healthier for you in the long run. For an American, the Mediterranean Diet may require a different approach then they are used to, but it is definitely one of the few high profile diets that show potential and balance.

Low Cholesterol Diet

2007-08-24T19:02:00.000-07:00

ianski - Tapping Into the Web's Conversation

The Benefits Of A Low Cholesterol Diet

A low cholesterol diet is probably one of the easier diets to follow, given the variety of foods available. Many food manufacturers have caught onto the trend of low carb, low cholesterol foods. Diet food is readily available for people who do not have the time to fix elaborate meals. A low cholesterol diet is considered a natural weight loss diet, since it is about adjusting a person's high cholesterol diet. By following a low cholesterol diet, you will not only lose weight, but also improve your health.

How To Follow A Low Cholesterol Diet

On a low cholesterol diet, you should eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. They are not only low in fat they are also low in calories. Also, try to lower your intake of saturated fats, since consuming foods with these fats can raise your cholesterol levels and put you at risk for heart disease. Certain vegetable oils, such as those used in many margarines and shortenings, contain a particular form of unsaturated fat known as trans-fatty. They raise blood cholesterol levels, just like saturated fat. On a low cholesterol diet, you should substitute foods containing white flour with whole grain foods. Also, on a low cholesterol diet, you should use low fat or skim dairy products. Cooking with lean meats such as turkey and chicken are suggested on a low cholesterol diet, rather than fatty red meat.

How A Low Cholesterol Diet Measures Up

There are plenty of fad diets such as the 3 day diet that do not promote healthy weight loss, quite like a low cholesterol diet does. These quick fix diets are meant to be followed short term, but are not recommended for long term results. A low cholesterol diet will change your lifestyle and help you maintain your weight loss indefinitely. Of course, there are plenty of other diets on the market that are healthy. The Abs Diet for example, focuses on low fat food that focuses on protein rich food that provides you with extra energy. Any diet that limits your intake of cholesterol, sugar and excessive carbohydrates is usually worth checking out. The best part of a low cholesterol diet, is that it can be combined with other types of diets as well. You can follow a low cholesterol diet while also counting your calories or limiting your carb intake. Overall, a low cholesterol diet is great for improving your health and slimming your waist.

Introducing The Low Carb Diet

There are many different low carb diets such as Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, Protein Power, The Carbohydrate Addict's Lifestyle Plan and Life Without Bread. All of these weight loss programs have a very strict reduction in the consumption of carbohydrates. Most low-carb diets replace carbohydrates with fats and proteins. Although low carb diets vary, they all center on limiting carbs and using a high-fat and moderate protein diet. Those on a low-carb diet should get at least 60 to 70 percent of their daily calorie intake from fat. Carbohydrates should make up less than 10 percent, and in some cases, less than 5 percent of your daily calorie intake using any low carb weight loss diet.

On a low-carb diet, you can eat until you're full, as long as you eat only allowed foods. Allowed foods are meats, fish, poultry, eggs, and cheese, plus a limited amount of green vegetables. Stay away from foods that are on many of these low carb diet lists.

The Lowdown On Low Carb Diets

With any low carb diet, it is important to understand the difference between limiting and restricting your carbohydrate intake. A healthy diet requires carbs since your body uses them for energy. More well rounded diets like the Mediterranean Diet, actually requires carbs as part of their weight control diet. However, despite the weight loss provided by low carb diets, the low carb diet trend is quickly fading. Many people are finding it too hard to limit their carb intake so severely and would rather resort to more balanced weight loss diets.

Why Balanced Diets Are Better Than Low Carb Diets

A balanced diet is necessary for long term weight loss. By significantly reducing your carbohydrate intake with a low carb diet, you are jeopardizing any future success on the diet. Diet's like the Cabbage Soup Diet or the Watermelon Diet, restrict your food intake so severally that the creators of these diets even stress that these programs should not be used for longer than a week. Low carb diets offer some benefits with weight loss, but any diet that has you reduce your carbohydrate intake severely enough to cause any symptoms such as headaches and fatigue should not be followed at all. Your health should be of top importance. If you body is healthy it has a better chance of losing weight and maintaining that weight loss.

Why Is Diet Food Important For Weight Loss?

A person's weight depends significantly on the type and amount of food one eats. One of the most essential components in the weight loss battle is finding the right diet food to help lose weight and keep it off.

In considering diet food, there are many elements that need to be taken into account:

Nutritional value
Portion control
Calorie density
Balanced meals

What Are The Diet Foods For Different Diet Programs?

The Mediterranean Diet and Abs Diet are diet programs that promote long term weight loss and maintenance by making healthy and nutritious foods the staples in your diet. The diet foods encouraged by these diets include fish, grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and olive oil. This diet is meant to be followed for a lifetime, encouraging healthy eating habits that can become a lifestyle for healthy weight loss.

The cabbage soup diet and 3 day diet however, are short-term diets that do not promote a healthy eating lifestyle. They are very restrictive about what diet foods can be consumed and when they can be eaten. The cabbage soup diet includes a cabbage soup based on a given recipe, along with certain fruits, vegetables, beef, milk, and fruit juices. The main foods encouraged in the 3-Day Diet include tuna, toast, fruit, saltine crackers, black coffee, vegetables, ice cream, and cheese.

A low-carb diet is a weight loss diet program based on limiting carbohydrate intake. The Atkins Diet uses this approach to achieve weight loss. It claims to be source of long-term weight loss and maintenance; however, many dieters who limit their carbohydrates find it difficult to stick with the program and end up quitting because the variety of diet foods is very restricted with the constraint on carbohydrates.What Will Help Me Stick to Eating Diet Food?

Many diet programs have created their own diet food health products that support the nutritional requirements of their programs, and can be bought at grocery stores and nutritional centers. The most well-known commercial diet programs that have created their own diet food health products include the South Beach Diet, Zone Diet, Atkins Diet, Weight Watchers, and L.A. Weight Loss. If a dieter is having trouble deciding what diet foods to buy at the grocery store, these products offer an easy alternative way for them to continue following their diet.

General Diet Food Health Products

There are a lot of general diet programs out there they recommend certain types of diet food for weight loss. Some of these diet food health products promote maintaining weight loss, while others focus on dieting for quick results that do not promote a healthy diet for life. These programs have not created their own diet food health products to sell, but they encourage particular kinds of foods that can be bought in stores.

The Mediterranean Diet is a non-commercial diet program that promotes following the traditional diets from the people living in countries such as Greece and Southern Italy where people have higher life-expectancy rates and much lower incidences of chronic diseases. The diet food health products encouraged by this diet include fish, grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and olive oil. This diet is meant to be followed for a lifetime, encouraging healthy eating habits that can become a lifestyle for healthy weight loss.

The cabbage soup diet, however, is only meant to last seven days because it does not promote a healthy eating lifestyle. It is based on eating as much cabbage soup as desired, along with a different food, as directed, each day. This diet is very restrictive about what diet food health products can be consumed. It includes a cabbage soup based on a given recipe, along with certain fruits, vegetables, beef, milk, and fruit juices.

Commercial Diet Food Health Products

Many diet programs have turned commercial, and created their own diet food health products that support the nutritional requirements of their programs so that dieters can maintain a lifetime weight control diet. The most well-known commercial diet programs that have created their own diet food health products include the South Beach Diet and Zone Diet. Atkins Diet also sells its own products to help dieters follow their low carb diet. Weight Watchers and L.A. Weight Loss are two programs that have clinics, but also sell their own diet food health products. These products are meant for lifelong diets to keep dieters at their goal weight. They can be found at grocery stores, nutrition stores, and the diet clinics.

Commercial Programs Supporting General Diet Food Health Products

The commercial weight loss diet programs do not restrict dieters to eating only their commercial diet food health products. While the programs create these products so that dieters have an easier time making decisions in their food choices, these weight loss programs also suggest general diet food health products that dieters can get at grocery stores and that support the nutritional requirements of their weight loss diet programs.

3 Day Diet

2007-08-24T18:23:00.000-07:00

ianski - Tapping Into the Web's Conversation

What Is The 3 Day Diet?

The 3 Day Diet is a short-term diet plan with 3 regimented meals a day for quick weight loss. Dieters are told to drink four to eight glasses of water or diet soda a day along with the diet. The 3 Day Diet claims to work on a chemical breakdown based on the foods eaten and the amount eaten. It also claims to help dieters lose 10 pounds in the three days of dieting.What Is The 3 Day Diet Plan?

The main foods encouraged in the 3 Day Diet include tuna, toast, fruit, saltine crackers, black coffee, vegetables, ice cream, and cheese. The diet does not have its own commercial products, but rather promotes general diet food health products. It also allows dieters to add herbs, salt, pepper, lemon, vinegar, Worcestershire, soy sauce, mustard, and ketchup to flavor their foods.

Although the diet foods recommended in the diet are not unhealthy, they do not provide a substantial number of calories, nor do they promote nutritional, well-balanced eating habits. The 3 Day Diet is not restrictive on any one type of food the way the low-carb diet is, but it is very restrictive on calories and food options. In fact, it does not allow any options at all, planning out every food for each meal of the three days. This type of restrictiveness can cause dieters to become easily discouraged and unenthused.How Does The 3 Day Diet Compare?

These foods are similar to those encouraged in a low-cholesterol diet. In some areas, such as dairy and carbohydrates, however, the diet is too general. When instructing dieters to eat cheese, ice cream, toast, and saltine crackers, there is no reference to low-fat or whole grain, which are important to a healthy diet. A low-cholesterol diet focuses on making sure its foods are as nutritious as possible, while the 3 Day Diet remains generic.

Unlike the Mediterranean Diet, which encourages healthy eating habits for long-term weight loss and maintenance, the 3 Day Diet is meant for only three days, as indicated by its name, for quick weight loss. Dieters are encouraged to eat normal food after the three days, without over-indulging, and then to start the 3 Day Diet again after four days of normal eating. This drastic change of nutrition and portions is unsafe and unhealthy for the body.

The 3 Day Diet does not include any sort of exercise regimen, either. The healthiest and most beneficial diets encourage healthy eating habits for a lifetime, and daily exercise. These diets, including the Abs Diet, help dieters completely change their lifestyle to a healthier and more nutritious one that they can maintain. The 3 Day Diet, however, only focuses on food for a short term and give no mention of exercise, making it difficult and unhealthy for dieters to stick with it for maintained weight loss.

Nike SB Strummer Guitar Dunk Low

The guitar was acquired sometime in the mid-1970’s (~1976) and was used all the way until Strummer’s untimely death in 2002. Here’s a site documenting a custom re-make of Strummer’s guitar. Fender also released a licensed remake of Strummer’s guitar as well with the design left to the hands of Shepard Fairey of Obey.

So it’s looking like these mashup fakes are actually gonna come to fruition, wouldn’t be the first time fakes appeared before actual real samples (ex. C&K dunks).
