The FAT Burning Power of Food
There are certain foods that burn more fat than the calorie content of the food itself and others that promote the release of fat from cells. The effects of these foods will be slightly different in each individual. As each person has a different metabolic rate the benefit from these fat burning foods will vary. The faster your metabolism is to start with the better these foods will work to help your body burn fat.
Foods that contain vitamin C:
Your body needs vitamin C to efficiently burn fat. Eating foods that are high in vitamin C can help to metabolize (break down) fat quicker. Vitamin C reduces the effectiveness of fat. It reduces its content and can liquefy or dilute fat. By diluting the fat, it makes it less effective, and easier to flush out of your system.
Foods high in fibre:
High fibre foods are good because they trick your stomach into thinking it is fuller faster, reducing the overall amount of calories that you eat. Vegetables are a great source of fibre and those that have an outer skin can help you to burn fat as they use up more energy being digested.
Some actually have a negative calorie effect in that your body will use more energy digesting them than it receives. A good example of this is celery, cucumber and beet root.
Dairy foods:
Recent studies have shown that dairy products like milk, cheese and yoghurt increase the breakdown of fat in cells. Eating dairy products was shown to be far more effective than taking a calcium supplement alone. Ensure that you stick to low fat dairy products only.
Hot and spicy foods:
Eating hot or spicy foods actually increases your metabolism and therefore your ability to burn fat. Chillies are first-rate fat-burners and some research has found they can increase your calorie burn by up to 8% for as long as three hours after eating. This is because the capsaicin found in them is a super nutrient that speeds up your metabolism and helps you burn off more energy.
Water:
When trying to reduce the fat content of your body, whether it is belly fat or bingo wings it is very important to drink lots of water. Water is the only true zero calorie food that occurs naturally. Drinking water keeps the body hydrated. Lack of proper hydration can dramatically slow down your metabolism and this in turn will reduce the amount of fat your body can burn off.
Most bodily functions require water, so if you are not getting enough your body can not function properly.
Commonly people mistake thirst for hunger and eat when they should be drinking water. Drinking plenty of water helps the body to flush out toxins. As the word suggests, toxins are toxic to your body and if they are not removed the body builds a protective layer of fat around them so that they cannot harm the body, these are generally deposited around your middle. By drinking plenty of water and flushing away the toxins rather than storing them as fat you will reduce the total fat in your body.
Negative Calorie Foods:
While all foods have some calories, they all also require energy by the body to digest them and this is where the negative calorie effect comes in. If a certain food requires the body to burn more energy in the digestion process that it actually produces it will create a calorie deficit; i.e. you will have expended more calories than you received.
We all know that in order to lose weight we have to use up more calories than we eat. Adding some of these negative calorie foods into your daily diet will give you a boost to losing weight!
Some fruits and vegetables are the best negative calorie foods. Spinach, lettuce, cucumber and celery are good examples but there are far more out there! Just be aware of how you prepare these foods and do not add too many calories in the cooking process!

Top 10 Sun Block Tips
Sunblock is used by many people to help prevent sun burn and skin cancer. However, if you do not have the correct sunblock or use your sunblock incorrectly you will not prevent sun burn or skin cancer. Using these helpful tips, you can avoid sunburn and protect yourself against skin caner.
Tip #1 Use Sun Block With A SPF Of 30 Or Higher
SPF 30 provides protection for most of the day. For example if you get sun burn in 10 minutes, SPF 30 will protect you for 300 minutes. If you use SP 15, you will be protected from the sun for 150 minutes.
Tip #2 Make Sure To Use A Broad Spectrum Sun Block
Broad spectrum sun blocks protect both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are present even when there is no sun and can lead to skin cancers. UVB rays are present when there is sun light out. People tan with UVB and UVB causes sun burn and also cancer if the skin in not protected.
Tip #3 Be Sure To Reapply Sun Block Early And Often
Water breaks down sun block even if the product is water proof. The sun will also break down your sun block over time. Reapply sun block at least once every hour if you are out in a pool. Be sure to use your sun screen daily.
Tip #4 Be Sure To Apply Sun Block Even If You Are Just Resting In The Shade Away From Sun Light
This is because UVA rays are present even when there is no direct sun light.
Tip #5 Be Sure To Avoid Sun Block That Contain Oxybenzone
Oxybenzone is a toxic sunscreen that soaks into the skin which might be a contributing factor to skin cancer. Instead look for sunscreen that contains Zinc Oxide or Titanium oxide.
Tip #6 Buy New Sun Screen Every Year
Most sun screen do not protect as well after 12 months because the ingredients start to lose the amount of sun protection that they can give.
Tip #7 Take A Break At Midday
Midday or peak sun is also a good time to get out of the sun and take a break indoors. The sun is strongest at this point. The sun is strongest between 12:00PM and 3:00PM.
Tip #8 Wear Sun Glasses, Hats And Tight Shirts
Wear UV sunglasses to protect your eyes, hat to protect your scalp and tight shirt to protect your body from the sun.
Tip #9 Take Special Care When Going To The Beach
Sun block may need to be reapplied more frequently since the sand and the water reflect the sun creating a stronger UVB ray. Higher altitudes also gives the sun more intensity.
Tip #10 Be Sure To Drink Plenty Of Water
Water keeps your skin hydrated and improves the protection of your sun block.

it was not an aftersun but a tan maximiser only to be used once you were really tanned. it was fantastic if a bit sticky.
i know with all the cancer stuff, maybe its been discontinued.
Lancaster do a similiar one, but its not as good.
Can anyone recommend anything else?
Please no lectures on suntanning, i’m natural dark and use factor 25 until the last few days. and a special facial one. thanks
piz buin make sun cream
they made one that was in a tub as opposed to a tube or bottle.
it was brown and sticky.
thanks, i’ve found it on ebay.
as i live on that site, i must have been having a stupid moment not to try it.

Mary Kay question???
How do I know if my timewise miracle set is expired? And if it is can I still use it?
If its over a year old, don’t use it. You usually know when it’s gooey and a little bit hard.
It’s bad for your skin to any cream that has expired.

How do you feel about M.Night Shyamalan directing all 3 Avatar:The Last Airbender movies?
I’m a little worried about it. I hope he doesn’t screw up any of the 3.
I’m extremely worried. The 6th Sense was his only hit. He went down hill after that movie. Granted they were all his own projects. M. Night is not known to work on anything he hasn’t created, so there just may be a chance for the movie to survive. As long as he doesn’t see it as his project but as the fan’s project, he’ll do fine. If he takes the movie in his own perspective, it will bomb. If he tries to hold true to the tv series and work as a director and abandon all personal feelings, it will be a box office smash.
John Woo should’ve done Avatar The Last Air Bender.
