A Somali model has become the first woman ever to grace the cover of American beauty magazine Allure, while wearing a hijab.<br />
Halima Aden, who is only 19-years-old, is pictured wearing Nike's high-performance hijab on the cover of the July issue of the women's magazine, with a caption that says "This is American Beauty". <br />
Aden has long been working to busy stereotypes of Muslim women in the media, having appeared in the bikini round of the 2016 Miss Minnesota USA beauty pageant while wearing a bikini and hijab.<br />
<br />
<br />
Since then, she's also walked in the Yeezy season five show at New York Fashion Week and made headlines by being the first hijab-wearing woman to grace the cover of Vogue.<br />
Mario Sorrenti, who photographed Halima for Paris-based CR Fashion Book told Vogue: “The power really came from her eyes and her presence…I think there’s a modern quality about her, being of her faith and expressing her femininity and beauty with confidence.”<br />
<br />
<br />
Aden told Allure that she first began wearing her hijab when she moved to America at the age of eight, from a Kenyan refugee camp where she was born in 1997.<br />
She did this in imitation of her Mum. “Every little girl looks up to her Mom so much – that’s your first hero”, she said. <br />
Aden has also spoken out about how wearing the hijab was a choice she made, and that not all women choose to wear it.<br />
“Society puts so much pressure on girls to look a certain way” she told Allure, “I have much more to offer than my physical appearance, and a hijab protects me against ‘You’re too skinny’, ‘You’re too thick,’ ‘Look at her hip s,’ ‘Look at her thigh gap.’ I don’t have to worry about that.” <br />
In light of her successes, Aden has been praised for changing the stereotypes surrounding Muslim women, particularly in the fashion and beauty industries.<br />
Speaking of modern standards of beauty, she told Vogue: “I have a friend who wears the most revealing clothes…and I’m like, ‘Girl if that’s what makes you feel happy and beautiful – go ahead’…But it’s ironic because people will s**t-shame her, but then apparently they think I’m oppressed because I choose to do the opposite and cover my body.”Nina Kunnihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18137745893392592504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410501082350203756.post-7412388059849143992016-04-27T02:39:00.001-07:002016-04-27T02:39:14.571-07:00Bits & Bobs: Look Ravishing This Summer For Any Party With Thes...<a href="http://ninakema.blogspot.com/2016/04/look-ravishing-this-summer-for-any_27.html?spref=bl">Bits & Bobs: Look Ravishing This Summer For Any Party With Thes...</a>: All needs to look their best at any festival or function no matter whatever the circumstances they have to climb down.

If you want to have long and healthy hair, review your diet. Thick, beautiful hair requires foods rich in healthy fats; including avocados, pumpkins, seeds, beans, coconut oil and any other kind of nuts. All these foods contain Vitamins A and C that stimulate the scalp and hair growth. Equally food in high dose of protein protect your hair from breakage and split ends so are also important additions. Alongside these vital healthy vegan foods some companies also provide vegan supplements with particular focus on your hair, nails and skin which can support during the winter months.</div>

Lemon with water can be considered the best natural energy booster. When we wake up in the morning, our bodily tissues are dehydrated and are in need of water to push out toxins and rejuvenate the cells.

Always reach for the black eyeliner? You could actually be making your eyes appear smaller. Switch your eyeliner for a deep olive, plum or brown for more flattering results. The finish is much softer and can make your eyes appear larger.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">

Use a pencil and a brow powder to perfectly define your arches. Start by creating your brow shape using a pencil, then use an angled brush and brow powder to fill in sparse areas. The two products together the perfect combination of precise yet natural.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">

Slipped with the mascara wand or eyeliner? Use a primer and cotton bud to gently wipe away mistakes. The primer will act as a base making it easier to reapply make-up over the top.</div>

<b>Plump up lashes</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
Boost lash volume without the need for volumising mascara. Sprinkle some loose powder gently over lashes before applying your regular mascara. The powder combined with the mascara thickens lashes instantly.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">

<b>Instant eye life</b></div>

Sweep concealer or a matte pale pink eye shadow stick under your brow bone arch. Blend until the shade is undetectable. The subtle sweep of highlight acts as an instant eye lift.</div>

<b>Apply foundation downwards</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
Always apply your foundation in downward strokes. Many of us have soft fine hairs on our faces; Apply foundation upwards and it can cause hairs to stick up resulting in a 'peach fuzz' finish. Downward strokes give a much more flawless look.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">

<b>Heat up your lash curler</b></div>

Blast your hair dryer over your eyelash curlers to gently heat them up. The added heat works the same way as your curling wand, it'll help your lashes to stay curled all day long.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">

<b>Expertly conceal</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
Avoid cakey concealer and apply using a brush, rather than straight from the tube. Use an eyeliner brush to carefully apply concealer just to any blemishes. Gently blend away any edges with a fluffy eye shadow brush. The results will be much more natural.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.464000701904297px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">

Khloe Kardashian can finally get her hands on <a class="yom-entity-link" data-rapid_p="1" href="https://uk.celebrity.yahoo.com/justin-bieber/" style="color: #f1238d; text-decoration: none;">Justin Bieber</a>'s Californian mansion as the sale went through on Thursday.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star's new home will mark a fresh start following her split from Lamar Odom in December, 2013.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
Hopefully, her time in the Calabasas mansion won't be as problematic as Justin's, who was constantly upsetting his neighbours by reportedly speeding in the gated community, holding parties and throwing eggs at a nearby house.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.399999618530273px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
The process would have gone a lot quicker if Justin hadn't made such a mess! The sale stalled for a few weeks when the pop star discovered he couldn't sell the house until he paid off a repairs bill of £18,250. We imagine Khloe wasn't pleased when she found out... but it all worked out in end. The house is finally Khloe's as she completed the purchase in Los Angeles on Thursday. Justin looks set to stay in his new flat in Atlanta, Georgia for the foreseeable future.</div>

Let's hope she doesn't upset her new neighbours either - perhaps she should keep the reality TV crews away for a while...</div>

<strong>Khloe Kardashian</strong> filed for divorce from <strong>Lamar Odom</strong> on December 13th. While it’s been nearly a week since the couple officially decided to go their separate ways, the usually vocal Kardashian refused to talk about Lamar or the divorce. </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, Arial, Verdana, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
Save for a few tweets about Mason’s birthday and some other paid tweets, Khloe was tight-lipped. Until now. </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, Arial, Verdana, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
Just moments ago, Khloe BROKE HER SILENCE and wrote, “This, in and of itself, is heart breaking and torture to my soul. Please, I don’t need extra rumors and BS right now.”</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, Arial, Verdana, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
She’s probably referring to the rumor that she’s dating baseball player <strong>Matt Kemp</strong>.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, Arial, Verdana, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
The only thing she does have to look forward to is her multi-million dollar payout in the divorce. </div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, Arial, Verdana, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
According to<em> Us Weekly, </em>Khloe stands to make $7 million—a tally which includes a $4 million mansion in Tarzana, California and the $1 million diamond engagement ring on her finger, a 12.5 carat radiant-cut diamond ring by Vartan’s Fine Jewelry.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, Arial, Verdana, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
The 29-year-old “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star will also receive a $2 million payout in cash.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, Arial, Verdana, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
“Khloe and Lamar have nothing to worry about as far as finances,” the source told <em>Us</em>. “Their prenup is ironclad.” Supposedly for every year of their marriage, Khloe stands to gain $500,000 and the pair have been together for four years.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, Arial, Verdana, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
A particular that is still up in the air however is how the collective sales of their fragrance “Unbreakable” will be divided.</div>

Fatkini is a 2 piece bikini designed for plus size women by an American blogger Gabi Greg AKA GabiFresh. Gabi is seen in the picture modelling her latest invention. She dubbed the two piece bathing suit FATKINI. The name implies that fat ladies can rock bikinis too not just slim ladies. </div>

The 2 piece bikini sold out in days that it hit the shops in America. </div>

While it's not quite as racy as the infamous green Versace gown she wore at the 2000 Grammys, it's pretty close!

Perry, who did not hit the red carpet with boyfriend John Mayer, revealed that her ‘60s style ensemble (including her big hair) was inspired by Priscilla Presley.<a class="yltasis less prevent-default" href="" style="color: #7752aa; cursor: pointer; display: block; font-size: 12px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: right;">less<b style="background-image: url(http://l.yimg.com/os/mit/media/m/photos/images/sprite-photos-24-246688.png); background-position: 0px -434px; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px;"> </b></a></div>

If you’ve tried and failed to lose weight before, you may believe that diets don’t work for you. You’re probably right: traditional diets don’t work—at least not in the long term. However, there are plenty of small but powerful ways to avoid common dieting pitfalls, achieve lasting weight loss success, and develop a healthier relationship with food.</div><div class="intro" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 0px;"><br />
</div><div class="intro" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 0px;"></div><h2 style="border-bottom-color: rgb(235, 215, 207); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; clear: both; color: #ad5836; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.385em; margin: 7px 0px 5px; padding: 0px 26px 0px 0px;">The key to successful, healthy weight loss</h2><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">Your weight is a balancing act, but the equation is simple: If you eat more calories than you burn then you gain weight. If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you lose weight.</div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">Since 3,500 calories equals about 1 pound of fat, if you cut 500 calories from your typical diet each day, you'll lose approximately 1 pound a week (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories). Simple, right? So why is weight loss so hard?</div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">All too often, we make weight loss much more difficult than it needs to be with extreme diets that leave us cranky and starving, unhealthy lifestyle choices that undermine our dieting efforts, and emotional eating habits that stop us before we get started. But there’s a better way! You <em>can</em> lose weight without feeling miserable. By making smart choices every day, you can develop new eating habits and preferences that will leave you feeling satisfied—as well as winning the battle of the bulge.</div><div class="advisorybox" style="background-color: #dee7f7; border: 1px solid rgb(185, 199, 222); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0em; padding: 5px 9px 7px;"><h3 style="background-image: none; border-bottom-color: rgb(185, 199, 222); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; clear: both; color: #3c5cae; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 3px 0px 2px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">Not all body fat is the same</h3><div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 8px;">Where you carry your fat matters. The health risks are greater if you tend to carry your weight around your abdomen, as opposed to your hips and thighs. A lot of belly fat is stored deep below the skin surrounding the abdominal organs and liver, and is closely linked to insulin resistance and diabetes.</div><br />
<h3 style="background-image: none; border-bottom-color: rgb(185, 199, 222); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; clear: both; color: #3c5cae; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 3px 0px 2px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">Beware of "Sugar Belly"</h3><div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 8px;">Calories obtained from fructose (found in sugary beverages such as soda, energy and sports drinks, coffee drinks, and processed foods like doughnuts, muffins, cereal, candy, and granola bars) are more likely to add to this dangerous fat around your belly. Cutting back on sugary foods can mean a slimmer waistline and lower risk of disease.</div></div><h3 style="background-color: #eeeeee; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 1em 0px 0.4em; padding: 3px 3px 4px;">Getting started with healthy weight loss</h3><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">While there is no “one size fits all” solution to permanent healthy weight loss, the following guidelines are a great place to start:</div><ul style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; list-style-type: square; margin: 0.05em 1em 1em 1.7em; padding: 0px;"><li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Think lifestyle change, not short-term diet.</strong> Permanent weight loss is not something that a “quick-fix” diet can achieve. Instead, think about weight loss as a permanent lifestyle change—a commitment to your health for life. Various popular diets can help to jumpstart your weight loss, but permanent changes in your lifestyle and food choices are what will work in the long run.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Find a cheering section.</strong> Social support means a lot. Programs like Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers use group support to impact weight loss and lifelong healthy eating. Seek out support—whether in the form of family, friends, or a support group—so that you can get the encouragement you need.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Slow and steady wins the race. </strong>Aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week to ensure healthy weight loss. Losing weight too fast can take a toll on your mind and body, making you feel sluggish, drained, and sick. When you drop a lot of weight quickly, you’re actually losing mostly water and muscle, rather than fat.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Set goals to keep you motivated.</strong> Short-term goals, like wanting to fit into a bikini for the summer, usually don’t work as well as goals like wanting to feel more confident or become healthier for your children’s sakes. When frustration and temptation strike, concentrate on the many benefits you will reap from being healthier and leaner.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Use tools that help you track your progress.</strong> Keep a food journal and weigh yourself regularly, keeping track of each pound you lose and inch of your waist lost. By keeping track of your weight loss efforts, you’ll see the results in black and white, which will help you stay motivated.</li>
</ul><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">Keep in mind it may take some experimenting to find the right diet for your individual body. It’s important that you feel satisfied so that you can stick with it on a long-term basis. If one diet plan doesn’t work, then try another one. There are many ways to lose weight. The key is to find what works for you.</div><div class="advisorybox" style="background-color: #dee7f7; border: 1px solid rgb(185, 199, 222); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0em; padding: 5px 9px 7px;"><h3 style="background-image: none; border-bottom-color: rgb(185, 199, 222); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; clear: both; color: #3c5cae; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 3px 0px 2px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">Reducing calorie intake promotes weight loss—the type of diet isn’t important</h3><div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 8px;">A major study concluded that it doesn’t matter which diet program you choose, as long as it is one that reduces your calorie intake and is healthy for your heart (low in saturated fat and cholesterol). In other words, the best diet is the one you’ll stick to, not necessarily the one currently topping the bestseller list.</div></div><h2 style="border-bottom-color: rgb(235, 215, 207); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; clear: both; color: #ad5836; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.385em; margin: 7px 0px 5px; padding: 0px 26px 0px 0px;"><a href="" name="avoid"></a>Healthy dieting and weight loss tip #1: Avoid common pitfalls</h2><img alt="Put a Stop to Emotional Eating" class="img_right" src="http://www.helpguide.org/images/diet_nutrition/tv_snack_180.jpg" style="float: right; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 3px 0px 0px 10px;" /><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">Diets, especially fad diets or “quick-fix” pills and plans, often set you up for failure because:</div><ul style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; list-style-type: square; margin: 0.05em 1em 1em 1.7em; padding: 0px;"><li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>You feel deprived.</strong> Diets that cut out entire groups of food, such as carbs or fat, are simply impractical, not to mention unhealthy. The key is moderation. Eliminating entire food groups doesn’t allow for a healthy, well-rounded diet and creates nutritional imbalances.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>You lose weight, but can’t keep it off.</strong> Diets that severely cut calories, restrict certain foods, or rely on ready-made meals might work in the short term. However, once you meet your weight loss goal, you don’t have a plan for maintaining your weight and the pounds quickly come back.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>After your diet, you seem to put on weight more quickly.</strong> When you drastically restrict your food intake, your metabolism will temporarily slow down. Once you start eating normally, you’ll gain weight until your metabolism bounces back—another reason why starvation or “fasting” diets are counterproductive.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>You break your diet and feel too discouraged to try again.</strong> Just because you gave in to temptation doesn’t mean all your hard work goes down the drain. Healthy eating is about the big picture. An occasional splurge won’t kill your efforts. Diets that are too restrictive are conducive to cheating—when you feel deprived, it’s easy to fall off the wagon.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>You lose money faster than you lose weight.</strong> Special shakes, meals, and programs may be cost-prohibitive and less practical for long-term weight loss and healthy weight maintenance.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>You feel isolated and unable to enjoy social situations revolving around food.</strong> Without some practical, healthy diet strategies, you may feel lost when dining out or attending events like cocktail parties or weddings. If the food served isn’t on your specific diet plan, what can you do?</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>The person on the commercial lost 30 lbs. in 2 months—and you haven’t.</strong> Diet companies make a lot of grandiose promises. Most are simply not realistic. Unfortunately, losing weight is not easy, and anyone who makes it seem that way is doing you a disservice. Don’t get discouraged by setting unrealistic goals!</li>

If we did, no one would be overweight. All too often, we turn to food for comfort and stress relief. When this happens, we frequently pack on pounds.</div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">Don’t underestimate the importance of putting a stop to <a href="http://www.helpguide.org/life/emotional_eating_stress_cravings.htm" style="color: #97350e;" target="_blank">emotional eating.</a> Learning to recognize the emotional triggers that lead you to overeat and respond with healthier choices can make all the difference in your weight loss efforts.</div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">To start, consider how and when you eat. Do you only eat when you are hungry, or do you reach for a snack while watching TV? Do you eat when you’re stressed or bored? When you’re lonely? To reward yourself?</div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">Once you’ve identified your emotional eating tendencies, you can work towards gradually changing the habits and mental attitudes that have sabotaged your dieting efforts in the past.</div><h3 style="background-color: #eeeeee; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 1em 0px 0.4em; padding: 3px 3px 4px;">Strategies to combat emotional eating</h3><ul style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; list-style-type: square; margin: 0.05em 1em 1em 1.7em; padding: 0px;"><li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>If you turn to food at the end of a long day,</strong> find other soothing ways to reward yourself and de-stress. Relax with a book and a steaming cup of herbal tea, soak in a hot bath, or savor a beautiful view.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>If you eat when you’re feeling low on energy,</strong> find other mid-afternoon pick-me-ups. Try walking around the block, listening to energizing music, or doing some quick stretches or jumping jacks. Another alternative is taking a short nap—just keep it to 30 minutes or less.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>If you eat when you’re lonely or bored,</strong> reach out to others instead of reaching for the refrigerator. Call a friend who makes you laugh, take your dog for a walk, find a fun activity to do, or go out in public (to the library, the mall, or the grocery store—anywhere there’s people).</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>If you eat when you’re stressed, </strong>find healthier ways to calm yourself.

We eat on the run, at our desk while we’re working, and in front of the TV screen. The result is that we consume much more than we need, often without realizing it or truly enjoying what we’re eating.</div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">Counter this tendency by practicing “mindful” eating: pay attention to what you eat, savor each bite, and choose foods that are both nourishing and enjoyable. Mindful eating will help you lose weight and maintain your results.</div><h3 style="background-color: #eeeeee; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 1em 0px 0.4em; padding: 3px 3px 4px;">Mindful eating weight loss tips</h3><ul style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; list-style-type: square; margin: 0.05em 1em 1em 1.7em; padding: 0px;"><li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Pay attention while you’re eating.</strong> Be aware of your environment. Eat slowly, savoring the smells and textures of your food. If your mind wanders, gently return your attention to your food and how it tastes and feels in your mouth.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Avoid distractions while eating.</strong> Try not to eat while working, watching TV, reading, using a computer, or driving. It’s too easy to mindlessly overeat.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Chew your food thoroughly.</strong> Try chewing each bite 30 times before swallowing. You’ll prolong the experience and give yourself more time to enjoy each bite.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Try mixing things up</strong> to force yourself to focus on the experience of eating. Try using chopsticks rather than a fork, or use your utensils with your non-dominant hand.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Stop eating before you are full.</strong> It takes time for the signal to reach your brain that you’ve had enough. Avoid the temptation to clean your plate. Yes, there are children starving in Africa, but your weight gain won’t help them.</li>

But that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to eat less food. You can fill up while on a diet, as long as you choose your foods wisely. The key is to add the types of food that can keep you feeling satisfied and full, without packing on the pounds.</div><h3 style="background-color: #eeeeee; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 1em 0px 0.4em; padding: 3px 3px 4px;">Fiber: the secret to feeling satisfied while losing weight</h3><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">If you want to lose weight without feeling hungry and deprived all the time, start eating foods high in fiber. High-fiber foods are higher in volume, which makes them filling. They also take longer to chew, which makes them more satisfying to eat. High-fiber foods also take a long time to digest, which means you’ll feel full longer. There’s nothing magic about it, but the weight-loss results may seem like it.</div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">High-fiber heavyweights include:</div><ul style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; list-style-type: square; margin: 0.05em 1em 1em 1.7em; padding: 0px;"><li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Fruits and vegetables</strong> – Enjoy whole fruits across the rainbow (strawberries, apples, oranges, berries, nectarines, plums), leafy salads, and green veggies of all kinds.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Beans</strong> – Select beans of any kind (black beans, lentils, split peas, pinto beans, chickpeas). Add them to soups, salads, and entrees, or enjoy them as a hearty dish of their own.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Whole grains</strong> – Try high-fiber cereal, oatmeal, brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, whole-wheat or multigrain bread, bran muffins, or air-popped popcorn.</li>
</ul><h3 style="background-color: #eeeeee; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 1em 0px 0.4em; padding: 3px 3px 4px;">Focus on fruits and veggies</h3><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">Counting calories and measuring portion sizes can quickly become tedious. But you don’t need an accounting degree to enjoy produce. When it comes to fruit and vegetables, it’s generally safe to eat as much as you want, whenever you want. No measuring cups or calorie tables required.</div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">The high water and fiber content in most fruits and vegetables makes them hard to overeat. You’ll feel full long before you’ve overdone it on the calories.</div><ul style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; list-style-type: square; margin: 0.05em 1em 1em 1.7em; padding: 0px;"><li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;">Pour a little less cereal into your morning bowl to make room for some blueberries, strawberries, or sliced bananas. You’ll still enjoy a full bowl, but with a lower calorie count.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;">Replace one of the eggs and some of the cheese in your omelet or scramble with vegetables. Try tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;">Swap out some of the meat and cheese in your sandwich with healthier veggie choices such as lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, and avocado.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;">Instead of a high-calorie snack, such as chips and dip, try baby carrots with hummus, a sliced apple, or the old-favorite: celery with peanut butter (just don’t overdo it on the peanut butter).</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;">Add more veggies to your favorite main courses to make your dish “go” further. Even dishes such as pasta and stir-fries can be diet-friendly if they’re less heavy on the noodles and more focused on vegetables.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;">Try starting your meal with a low-density salad or soup (just watch the dressings and sodium) to help fill you up, so you eat less of your entrée.</li>
</ul><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">Don’t love vegetables? You’re probably not preparing them right. Veggies can be delicious and full of flavor when you dress them with herbs and spices or a little olive oil or cheese.</div><div class="advisorybox" style="background-color: #dee7f7; border: 1px solid rgb(185, 199, 222); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; margin: 1em 0em; padding: 5px 9px 7px;"><h3 style="background-image: none; border-bottom-color: rgb(185, 199, 222); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; clear: both; color: #3c5cae; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 3px 0px 2px; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">Fruits and vegetables to eat in moderation</h3><div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 8px;">Fruits and vegetables of all colors, shapes, and sizes are major players in a healthy diet, but you still need to watch out for the following potential diet busters.</div><ul style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em 1.3em; padding: 0px;"><li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Veggies that have been breaded or fried or doused in heavy sauces</strong> are no longer low-calorie, so tread with caution. Opt for healthier cooking methods, such as steaming, and use low-fat dressings and spices for flavor.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Salads are guilt-free—unless you drench them in high-fat dressing and toppings.</strong> By all means, add some nuts or cheese, but don’t overdo it. As for dressing, a little fat is healthy (try a vinaigrette made with olive oil), but again, moderation is key.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Dried Fruit.</strong> Be careful when it comes to dried fruit, which is high in calories and, often, in added sugar. You can eat a whole lot more fresh fruit for the same number of calories. If you do choose to snack on dried fruit, keep your serving size small.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Fruit Juice.</strong> There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a glass of juice every now and again. But remember that the calories quickly add up, without doing much to make you feel full. Also make sure that your drink of choice is made from 100% fruit juice and contains no added sugar.</li>

Instead of denying yourself the unhealthy foods you love, simply eat them less often.</div></div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">If you’ve ever found yourself polishing off a pint of ice cream or stuffing yourself with cookies or chips after spending a whole day virtuously eating salads, you know how restrictive diet plans usually end. You probably blame yourself, but the problem isn’t your willpower—it’s your weight loss strategy. Deprivation diets set you up for failure: you starve yourself until you snap, and then you overdo it, cancelling out all your previous efforts.</div><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">In order to successfully lose weight and keep it off, you need to learn how to enjoy the foods you love without going overboard. A diet that places all your favorite foods off limits won’t work in the long run. Eventually, you’ll feel deprived and will cave. And when you do, you probably won’t stop at a sensible-sized portion.</div><h3 style="background-color: #eeeeee; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin: 1em 0px 0.4em; padding: 3px 3px 4px;">Tips for enjoying treats without overeating</h3><ul style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; list-style-type: square; margin: 0.05em 1em 1em 1.7em; padding: 0px;"><li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Combine your treat with other healthy foods.</strong> You can still enjoy your favorite high-calorie treat, whether it’s ice cream, chips, cake, or chocolate. The key is to eat a smaller serving of it along with a lower-calorie option. For example, add strawberries to your ice cream or munch on carrot and celery sticks along with your chips and dip. By piling on the low-cal option, you can eat a diet-friendly portion of your favorite treat without feeling deprived.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Schedule your treats</strong>. We are creatures are habit, and you can use this to your advantage when trying to lose weight. Establish regular times when you get to indulge in your favorite food. For example, maybe you enjoy a small square of chocolate every day after lunch, or a slice of cheesecake every Friday evening. Once you’re conditioned to eat your treat at those times—and those times only—you’ll stop obsessing about them at other times.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Make your indulgence less indulgent.</strong> Find ways to reduce fat, sugar, or calories in your favorite treats and snacks. If you do your own baking, swap out half the butter or oil in the recipe with applesauce, and cut back on the sugar, making up for it with extra cinnamon or vanilla extract. You can also eliminate or reduce high-calorie toppings and sides, like whipped cream, cheese, dip, and frosting.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Engage all your senses—not just your taste sense.</strong> Instead of chowing down mindlessly, savor and prolong the experience. You can make snack time more special by setting an attractive table, lighting candles, playing soothing music, or enjoying your treat outdoors in a beautiful setting. Get the most pleasure—and the most relaxation—out of your treat by cutting it into small pieces, taking time to smell what you are eating, and by chewing slowly and thoroughly.</li>

Set yourself up for success by taking charge of your food environment: when you eat, how much you eat, and what foods are available.</div><ul style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; list-style-type: square; margin: 0.05em 1em 1em 1.7em; padding: 0px;"><li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Start the day with breakfast.</strong> People who eat breakfast tend to be thinner than those who don’t. Starting your day with a healthy breakfast will jumpstart your metabolism, plus, it will help keep you from binge eating later in the day.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Serve yourself smaller portions. </strong>One easy way to control portion size is by using small plates, bowls, and cups. This will make your portions appear larger. Don’t eat out of large bowls or directly from the food container or package, which makes it difficult to assess how much you’ve eaten.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Plan your meals and snacks ahead of time.</strong> You will be more inclined to eat in moderation if you have thought out healthy meals and snacks in advance. You can buy or create your own small portion snacks in plastic bags or containers. Eating on a schedule will also help you avoid eating when you aren’t truly hungry.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Cook your own meals.</strong> Cooking meals at home allows you to control both portion size and what goes in to the food. Restaurant and packaged foods generally contain a lot more sodium, fat, and calories than food cooked at home—plus the portions sizes tend to be larger.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Don’t shop for groceries when you’re hungry.</strong> Create a shopping list and stick to it. Be especially careful to avoid foods at the ends of the aisles and along the perimeter, where grocers tend to sell high-calorie snack and convenience foods.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Out of sight, out of mind.</strong> Limit the amount of tempting foods you have at home. If you share a kitchen with non-dieters, store snack foods and other high-calorie indulgences in cabinets or drawers out of your sight.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Fast for 14-16 hours a day.</strong> Try to eat your last meal earlier in the day and then fast until breakfast the next morning. Early studies suggest that this simple dietary adjustment—eating only when you’re most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day—may help you to lose weight.

One can of soda contains between 10-12 teaspoons of sugar and around 150 calories, so a few soft drinks can quickly add up to a good portion of your daily calorie intake.</div><div style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 8px;">Switching to diet soda isn’t the answer either, as studies suggest that it triggers sugar cravings and contributes to weight gain. Instead, try switching to water with lemon, unsweetened iced tea, or carbonated water with a splash of juice.</div></div><h2 style="border-bottom-color: rgb(235, 215, 207); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; clear: both; color: #ad5836; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.385em; margin: 7px 0px 5px; padding: 0px 26px 0px 0px;"><a href="" name="make"></a>Healthy dieting and weight loss tip #7: Make healthy lifestyle changes</h2><div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 2px;">In addition to your food and eating-related choices, you can also support your weight loss and dieting efforts by making healthy lifestyle choices.</div><ul style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; list-style-type: square; margin: 0.05em 1em 1em 1.7em; padding: 0px;"><li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Get plenty of sleep.</strong> Lack of sleep has been shown to have a direct link to hunger, overeating, and weight gain. Exhaustion also impairs your judgment, which can lead to poor food choices. Aim for around 8 hours of quality sleep a night.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Turn off the TV.</strong> You actually burn less calories watching television than you do sleeping! If you simply can’t miss your favorite shows, get a little workout in while watching. Do easy exercises like squats, sit-ups, jogging in place, or using resistance bands or hand weights.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Get plenty of exercise.</strong> Exercise is a dieter’s best friend. It not only burns calories, but can actually improve your resting metabolism. No time for a long workout? Research shows that three 10-minute spurts of exercise per day are just as good as one 30-minute workout. Take the stairs instead of the elevator or park in the back of the parking lot. Every bit helps.</li>
<li style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 0px;"><strong>Drink more water.</strong> You can easily reduce your daily calorie intake by replacing soda, alcohol, or coffee with water. Thirst can also be confused with hunger, so by drinking water, you may avoid consuming extra calories, plus it will help you break down food more easily.</li>

Friends, the wait is over! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced early this morning that they will be expecting their first child together in <strong>July</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f3e2f; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-top: 13px; padding: 0px;">
A formal announcement came from their office, saying “Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in July. The Duchess’s condition continues to improve since her stay in hospital last month.” And though early on their was speculation that the couple <em>may</em> be making way for twins, a palace official confirmed that Kate is not expecting two. But <em>maybe</em> the Queen is hinting that the baby will be a girl, following her formal decree last week?!?!?!?!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5f3e2f; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-top: 13px; padding: 0px;">

Their royal babe will be welcomed into the world the same month that William’s late mother, Princess Diana, was born. The Princess of Wales was born on July 1st and though the palace has not released any specific dates, there’s a chance that the baby could share his/her late grandmother’s birthday.</div>

Seize the Salad</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Start by filling up on a big, veggie-dense salad. We’re not talking the iceberg lettuce and ranch dressing variety, but rather something composed of actual, whole, nutrient-rich vegetables.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">

Thanksgiving Green Salad</h2>
This salad feels light but is surprisingly filling, with lots of leafy greens, dried and fresh fruit, and nuts.<br />
<br />
<br />

Cue Cauliflower</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
Swap out the usual mashed potatoes with mashed cauliflower. Your dish will taste about the same (if not better!), but with half the calories.</div>

Mock Mashed Potatoes</h2>
Parmesan and garlic combine to make this dish a flavor sensation.<br />

<h2 style="font-family: ltc-bodoni-175, serif; font-size: 1.7em; font-weight: 300; margin: 0px 0px 0.67em;">
Go Organic</h2>
Splurge on an organic turkey; regular store-bought turkeys tend to have a ton of added sodium. After the big day, try leftover turkey on something healthier and more exciting than sandwich bread.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Asian Turkey Cabbage Cups</h2>
The Asian flavor of this über-light dish will provide some welcome relief from more traditional T-day tastes.<br />

Don’t Miss Dessert</h2>
Desserts don’t have to be over-the-top rich to be good. In fact, sometimes it’s nice to have a lighter sweet option at the end of such a big meal. Also, remember that you can always substitute oil with a with fruit puree like applesauce when baking.<br />

Cranberry Pineapple Sauce</h2>
Cranberry sauce goes au natural, replacing most of the sugar called for in traditional recipes with pineapple.<br />

It is no gimmick or lies. A fat blocking pepsi was introduced yesterday in Japan. Am shocked as you are, does it really work? I guess you would have to wait to find out...<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="Pepsi Special" src="http://asset1.cbsistatic.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2012/11/09/pepsispecial_610x813.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It sounds like a dieter's dream. Drink soda and lose weight. It's junk food with a healthy sheen and it's a real Pepsi product out in Japan.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Pepsi Special is special because of an added ingredient: dextrin, the same stuff found in Benefiber. It's a water-soluble fiber supplement that may also have some extracurricular effects with feelings of fullness and a reduction in fat absorption.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
According to a study published in Appetite in 2011, soluble fiber dextrin increased participants' sense of satiety and decreased the amount of energy absorbed from the next meal. How that finding translates to a dextrin-charged soda is up for discussion.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Pepsi Special will get a nationwide release in Japan on November 13, and it's unlikely to be a big hit with the Sumo community. The advertising materials promise it will have a crisp and refreshing Pepsi flavor that hides the fibery aspects of the drink. There is no mention yet of how many calories it contains. A bottle will sell for just under $2.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Government-approved fat-blocking sodas are a recent development in Japan. Another dextrin soda called <a href="http://www.beveragedaily.com/Markets/Sales-fizz-for-healthy-Japanese-cola-that-cuts-dietary-fat-absorption" style="border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;">Kirin Mets Cola</a> came out earlier this year after receiving clearance from the Japan Health Food & Nutrition Food Association. Pepsi Special has attained the same official "Foods for Specified Health Uses" designation. I guess that means soda pop can qualify as a health food.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Japan's reputation as country of thin people makes it a curious choice for an anti-fat-absorption drink, but perhaps it's just a test run before reaching out to the soda-slurping American market. Of course, we can't help but wonder.</div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.450000762939453px;">Twenty-one-year-old Lukyanova refers to herself as "most famous woman of the Russian-speaking Internet" and often uses the alias "Amatue," which means sun goddess. She hails from the Moldavian city of Tiraspol, and currently has 466 videos uploaded to </span><a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Anl7IMFevMp5Y95ZRS4CURaykaU5;_ylu=X3oDMTFnaXFoZGc2BG1pdANCbG9nUG9zdEJvZHkEcG9zAzcEc2VjA01lZGlhQmxvZ0JvZHlBc3NlbWJseQ--;_ylg=X3oDMTJ2ZHVuNDdkBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDY2FjY2NhN2EtYjk4ZC0zZDYwLWE2MTMtMmY1OTFjMTAzODJkBHBzdGNhdANzdHlsZXxiZWF1dHkEcHQDc3RvcnlwYWdl;_ylv=0/SIG=12diuipjp/EXP=1353970581/**http%3A//www.youtube.com/user/Amatue%3Ffeature=results_main">her YouTube accoun</a>t <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.450000762939453px;">with over 16 million views and 535,000 Facebook fans. She was early to the living doll movement, but she tells V, "Indeed, I've noticed a trend. "Every good-looking woman with fine features and a slim figure looks like a doll. I won't deny that I play along with people's perceptions. I'm amused by the reactions. I don't take it seriously."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.450000762939453px;"><br /></span>
<br />

Strong reactions to Lukyanova's appearance are not surprising. With her large glassy eyes (enhanced by makeup and contact lenses), long platinum blond hair, Gumby-like limbs, and disproportionate chest to waist ratio, the Ukrainian YouTube star really does look like she belongs in a Mattel box on a toy shelf. But despite her unrealistic exterior and confusing claims on her website that she is "endowed by nature with extraordinary external data," this woman is real.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.450000762939453px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
So what is the average day like for a human Barbie like Lukyanova? "In the morning I work on my face and I get a massage, then I spend some time on the Internet," she tells V magazine. "I meditate and travel in my astral body, and after that I work out at the gym. I go for a walk with my best girlfriend, I get home, and I make dinner for the man I love. Then I spend some more time on the Internet, do some reading and meditating, and go to bed." Yup, all in a day's work.</div>

Lukynova encounters many haters in online forums, but she isn't deterred by them. "I know the other side of celebrity is negativity, but I see it in a positive light. If people care about me, then I am on the right path," she says. "I'm happy I seem unreal to them, it means I'm doing a good job. It's hard work, but they dismiss it as something done by surgeons or computer artists. This is how they justify not wanting to strive for self-improvement. "</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">X Factor week 1, part 1. Both Tulisa and Nicole went for scraped back hair dos, but entirely different frocks. Tulisa’s navy blue satin number is playful and girly, whereas Nicole decided to flaunt her curves in an aysmetrical sheer and leather dress. Verdict: Nicole’s the winner here, in her ultra-flattering ensemble.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">X Factor week 1 part 2: Tulisa decided to channel her inner Barbie, with this bubblegum pink mini dress, paired with bright pink lipgloss. We’re not sure about those black shoe boots, but…er…hello cleavage! Nicole also rocked a fitted mini dress, but hers was a less bright gold number. We love her simple accessories – just a thin bracelet – and her poker straight hair. Verdict: Nicole wins again.</span><br />

The girls went for cold silver and grey tones, but rocked very different looks. Nicole went for a metallic mini dress teamed with gigantic platform stilettos. Tulisa, however, kept her look simple, wearing a draped shift dress. We also love her girly wavy hair. Verdict: Tulisa wins her first X Factor fashion victory.</span><br />

We do love a good maxi dress – and this week, both ladies wowed in full-length numbers. Nicole’s sexy maxi had a lace panel AND a thigh-high split, ticking all the boxes. Tulisa’s long sleeved patterned dress showed off her curves to perfection. Verdict: We love both dresses, but Nicole’s dramatic dress is more fitting for the occasion.</span><br />

Tulisa flaunted her curves again in this seriously sexy black pencil skirt and lacy green bracelet combo. Nicole went all out with a flared tutu-style skirt teamed with dramatic hair and accessories.
