Keen to get your body in the best shape and ready for the summer months? To get your body back in shape after those long and cold winter months, there is really no need to go on a strict diet.
All you need to do is exercise regularly and eat all the right foods. And when I say the right foods, I particularly mean the low-calorie foods that are also very rich in nutrients.
Losing weight isn’t just about busting your butt in the gym for hours on end. You also need to have a healthy and balanced diet plan in place, combined with a good amount of self-discipline.
There are literally dozens of diet plans to choose from, with new ones popping up each day. Some may work really well for you, while others are nothing more than a temporary fad. For those who want to see quick results, the 1200 calorie diet plan is something worth looking into.
In the latest installment of my never-ending quest to find different exotic fruits and excitingly unique vegetables, I am now going to discuss the longan fruit.
Related to the rambutan fruit and the lychee, longan fruit is a small tropical fruit with delicious and soft white flesh. They’re not easy to find, but wow, do they taste good!
In my quest to find new exciting fruits to try out, I had the pleasure of eating snake fruit during my recent travels through Southeast Asia.
While snake fruit, also known as salak, is perhaps not as delicious and refreshing as other exotic fruits I’ve tried in the past, I was still pleasantly surprised by the unique flavors and texture of this fruit.
We all know how delicious, healthy and nutritious avocados are, but what about that big, bulky seed inside?
Most people will consider it as waste and throw it out, but did you know that the pit of an avocado is actually edible? Not only that, there are lots of other uses of avocado seeds that may surprise you.
I had the pleasure of eating dragon fruit (also known as pitaya, or pitahaya) at a dinner party recently, and absolutely loved it. So much so that I decided to go and buy a bunch and try out some recipes.
I remember eating dragon fruit many years ago whilst on holiday in Thailand but had forgotten all about the absolutely delicious taste.
Are you looking to lose weight? Not sure which new diet you should try out this time? Are you wondering how much weight you can lose in one month?
Your weight loss progress and success depends on a number of factors, and to achieve long term results it’s recommended that you start your weight loss journey by having a critical look at your current lifestyle.
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love rice dishes. I could literally eat rice each and everyday and not get tired of it.
As you may already know, Japanese food has been my favorite international cuisine, ever since my first visit to the land of the rising sun many years ago. Perhaps this is where my love for rice stems from.
Protein is often associated with meat, but there are in fact also lots of vegan and vegetarian sources of protein.
Even if you’re not a vegan or a vegetarian, the below high protein vegan foods can still be great additions to your diet.
We all know that feeling in the afternoon when we start to lose focus and prefer to have a nap instead of pushing through with the day. This is typically also the moment when we start craving snacks, especially the sugary ones.
Our brain needs a stimulus and a not-so-healthy afternoon snack often helps with that. But that is the wrong stimulus, because the excessive amount of sugar in these snacks do more harm than good.
