Fun Facts

In today’s artificial world, every women wants the best. They want to look like a cover girl, top models and etc.. But sometimes the products to make them look good have a deadly side-effect.

Weight Loss Regime

In the world war 1, some french soldiers inhaled TNT vapors, it caused them fever, sweating and … weight loss. This was due to a metabolic rate higher then usual. TNT(trinitrotoluene) was thought to be to dangerous, but a researcher saw the potential in it. And invented dinitrophenol, a chemical relative of trinitrotoluene. It had success in it’s mission of making people lose weight, lots of women got this because you didn’t need a prescription. But by 1935, some users died. It caused cataracts and around 100 users lost complete sight. The drug is illegal in Canada and USA is not available at all but in Mexico it can easily be obtained.

Nail Polish and Remover

Acetone is an ingredient in nail polish remover and acetonitrile is an ingredient in artificial nail remover. Both sound the same but are very different in toxicity and many other factors. A kid swallowed 10 ml of acetonitrile, her mother called the poison control center, she didn’t inform them correctly.  The doctor thought she was talking about the nail polish ingredient, Acetone. He said it’s alright let it be, it doesn’t have any negative effects. Had the doctor realized it was acetonitrile that was consumed and not acetone, the little child would be in the emergency room. The next day the kid was found dead.

Lady’s Perfume

Whale’s can finally relax today, one their regurgitating was used as perfume ingredient. When whales eat harmful fish they have this coating on their stomach that dissolves the harmful areas. This liquid is called ambergris, when fresh it’s black and smells awful. When it’s exposed to the sun it hardens and becomes light colored and smells good. A piece of ambergris weighting 922 pounds was found floating on the sea surface. It was worth alot but these days we don’t need to bother whales for it. Scientist can now produce a product of similar effect, artificially.

What is size 0 [1]? Is it simply an US clothing size standard? Certainly it is not! If you go by the definition it is actually the smallest size. It would fit women with vital stats between 30-22-32 and 33-25-35 inches. It is this idea of fitting into a size 0 dress has consumed every fashion-conscious woman. With the A-list stars crash dieting to secure this alluring size, more and more women are following their footsteps. To be or not to be a size 0 has become a never-ending debate; there are a large number against it as they fear anorexia is a by-product of being size 0. But we will tell you that this 0 size is not all that bad and all the reasons for flaunting it.

More healthy: That beautiful crimson red dress which you bought for a whooping 150 dollars remains in your cupboard untouched for almost 2 years now. The reason behind this is that you have gained so much weight that it does not fit you any longer. Fat is small word with a BIG consequence! It is something that can easily get you if you do not take proper care of yourself. Size 0 can be achieved by working out, eating healthy and doing your regular chores. It not only makes you fit into your favorite dress but also make you live a more disciplined life. Oh, yes, you save money on medicines and visiting doctors.

Look better: There cannot be anything worse than having a sagging stomach. Though the term “love handles” could sound cute but there is nothing lovely about these. There are so many teenagers who suffer from obesity as they overeat. Overeating is a bad habit that mostly their parents get them into. Little children look cute with their baby fat but if this fat does not wear off with age soon it turns into obesity. Being a size 0 is just a way to stay in shape. Actor Kate Moss has rightly said, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” [2].

Make people jealous around you: When a guy looks at you with appreciative eyes, you feel great but you feel even better when a girl looks at you with jealousy. A woman who is size 0 is not voluptuous but nevertheless she looks gorgeous. She looks extremely smart too. Moreover, imagine you are going for a vacation in Miami and have every intention of putting on your hottest bikini. With a size 0 you can wear anything with complete ease without any extra flab that looks simply hideous! Most people consider size 0 to be very attractive [3].

Increased self confidence: Believe it or not but a woman sporting size 0 is much more confident about her. Nor is she picked up by her friends or colleagues for being fat. She feels surer about everything and is ready to take on challenges. A board meeting or handling a new project, you will get the zeal from inside to do something constructive. You will also get constant attention from your friends, which boasts up your confidence levels. Your kids will definitely vote as the most gorgeous looking mom in this World!

Feel fresher: Only a small fraction of people know that size 0 can actually make you feel fresh. With constant workout sessions, eating what is right and practicing yoga and other exercises will only make one feel fresher. Weight issues tend to bog one down but a person with size 0 is always lively.

Your favorite star is a size 0 as well: Your favorite star is a size 0 as well: Most of us wish if we could even have the slightest resemblance to our favorite stars. Though David Haslam [4] who is the National Obesity Forum’s director feels that size 0 is just another passing fashion sported by actors like Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham and Lindsay Lohan and it should not be promoted. It should be kept in mind that these actors achieve such enviable figure by proper consultation from their nutritionists who prepare a balanced food chart for them. It is not always about only superficial beauty!

Be happier: Obesity can cause depression in an individual. A person with “too much” weight gets very conscious and in some cases refrain from meeting friends or going out for parties. Even while going shopping, they feel different from the rest and become over-sensitive and experience mood swings. Whereas a person with size 0 has no such issues as she feels happy from inside. As she is comfortable under her skin, it shows on her face too [5].

Fit into all fashionable clothes: Top designers labels are all aiming to woo the size 0 crowds. Imagine Victoria Beckham’s range of skinny jeans on a fat woman? It would be a complete disaster. The whole idea of getting into skinny clothes, which are quite fashionable, can make you feel on cloud 9. Gone are the days where skinny girls had to check out the kid’s section for their clothes, their clothes these days dominate the racks of fashion stores. For an ultra chic look, your aim should be to fit into size 0 clothes.

It is not that you have to crash diet for it: It is a myth that all size 0 women are anorexic or suffers from any eating disorder. One does not have to refrain from eating their favorite pie or eat everything and then puke it off. Neither do you have to consume any chemical like the so-called, “size-0 pill”. Not all women who are size-0 are unhealthy. They do not crash diet but take in frequent healthy meals. Have a very balanced meal, which also includes the essential carbohydrates and fats; just do not over-eat. Something that we do not realize is that we consume large quantity of “junk foods” containing lots of oil. The shift should be on quality food, which gives you enough energy to carry on with your regular chores. With a proper digestion rate that is achieved through working out, you can be size 0 even after eating well.

Definitely have more takers: Though there are people who have said that men find mid-sized women [6] more attractive but you will find that is not true with men drooling for you when you have a perfectly toned, size-0 figure. With greater confidence and a charisma about you, men will have to ask you out!!

Many people feel that being obese is a curse and one can be a laughing stock among other people, particularly when they find themselves being gazed for their ugly tummy wherever they go and whatever they do. There are a number of advices and programs available to help one reduce their obesity. The efficacy of each program depends on a number of factors. Nature is one thing that is common to everybody and everywhere. Anything and everything related to nature that is done in a natural way will be beneficial to all people. Let us discuss herewith some natural ways to deal with the problem of obesity.

It is a well-known fact that excess fat content in the body is the reason for putting on weight. In addition, we know that burning more calories than we eat is the best way to reduce the weight. But how many of us who are obese and want to reduce their weight have followed this simple rule and reduced the excess weight in a natural way?.

Let me once again revisit the golden rule for reducing the excess weight. The rule is: Burn more calories than you eat. The logic is that when the body uses more energy than it takes in, it depletes its fat stores. Energy is provided to the body through the food we eat. Therefore, by exercising control over what we eat on a daily basis, than on how we eat or how many times we eat in a day, is more important.

There is no short cut or crash course method for reducing the obesity. It needs to be carried out in a methodical way over a period such that we lose weight naturally, safely without any side effects, and permanently without any risk of putting on more weight after abandoning the methods.

The following tips will be helpful in achieving this target:

1. Never fast

Some of us think that cutting down on the meals or fasting will help in reducing the weight. This is not correct and can prove to be dangerous sometimes. Fasting might lead to lowering of blood pressure and may lead to heart related problems. Any weight loss gained by way of fasting cannot be sustained long enough and once you discard fasting, the probability of putting on weight is more.

2. Eat breakfast, and do not skip meals

Eat more often to avoid a completely empty stomach, which can make you overeat at your next meal. Instead of skipping meals, it is better to eat four or six small meals or snacks, with a space of 3 to 5 hours between each meal.

3. Don’t deprive yourself

Many of us tend to curb our instincts in a conscious effort to reduce the weight. It is better that you have small portions of our favorite food, which may be high in calorie content, once in a while so that you don’t get frustrated and end up binging.

4. Drink plenty of fluids – especially water

Drink water and lots of it every day. Diet sodas and mineral water are ideal choice of fluids than just water. Fluids not only quench the thirst but also reduce the appetite. Lesser appetite means lower intake of food. Fruit juices are also categorized under fluids but can add more calories. Hence, be choosy in choosing the fluids. Coffee and tea are good. If you can take these beverages with artificial sweeteners and low calorie creamer instead of milk, that would be ideal.

5. Watch out for low-fat foods

Cutting fat from your diet makes sense as fat is the most concentrated source of calories. Be on the lookout for low-fat foods such as dairy products. Also ensure that foods claiming to be low in fat content or not supplemented with sugar, which, in turn, will not yield any results. Again, do not attempt to cut all the fat out of your diet. It has been discovered in research that people are able to stay on diet longer and are better able to maintain their weight loss when their diets allow at least some foods that contain fat.

6. Downsize your portions

The quantity of food we intake, either at home or at a restaurant, needs to reduced in a conscious effort. When eating at home, check the portion size of the food you enjoy eating and reduce the content by about one-fourth or one-fifth than you normally eat. While eating at restaurant, reduce the temptation to clean up the plate. By doing so, you can see the difference in your waistline over a period.

By following these six simple steps, which have yielded definite results to many people, one can reduce the weight safely and naturally.
