Some things just don’t do what they say on the tin.
We’ve all done it. As anyone who’s had a bad relationship would testify (and that’s most of us), some things you think are good for you, are actually doing exactly the opposite.
It’s the same with our relationship with food. They may look like they are good for you - even have a healthy-sounding name – but in reality they are doing us all kinds of damage.
Imagine if your town was designed to help you lose weight.
OK, living somewhere where you are encouraged to ditch the car and walk or cycle everywhere may seem like some people’s worst nightmare.
Almost a quarter of five-year-olds in England are overweight, a startling new study has revealed.
Results from the National Child Measurement Programme found that an alarmingly significant portion of kids were already well on their way to obesity by the time they start reception classes.
The threat of unpleasant medical conditions, early death and social criticism not proving a firm enough incentive, the Government is considering waving cash under the noses of the obese.
We’re not sure who should be the most affronted, people struggling with their weight whose efforts are being ‘bought’ or all the non-obese tax payers who will also be footing the bill.
If you consider yourself to be a very spiritual person, the macrobiotic diet could be just what you are looking for.
More of a way of life than a weight loss plan, it is based on the concept of balancing your ‘yin’ with your ‘yang’. Translated literally, the Greek word Macrobiotic means ‘great life’.
Not a bad thing to strive for. But ‘what is your yin and yang?’, I hear you cry. Well, put very simply, it refers to types of food.
There is no such thing as a beer belly. So says author Graeme Hilditch in a new book designed to dispel many of the myths surrounding diets and fitness.
Is Is Just Me Or Are The Sit-Ups A Waste Of Time , published this week, pours scorn on the long-held notion that too much ale is largely to blame for a fat tummy.
And if we were a tabloid we’d put man in snarky apostrophes, but we’re just a little bit classier here at DietPixie.
Of course we all know the story. It’s age old. Man meets woman. Falls in love. They decide to have a baby. Man used to be woman until sex change op. Well, partial sex change op. Man still has some of his old womanly bits knocking about. Man carries baby. Goes on Oprah. And now… man has given birth to baby girl.
It’s a beautiful thing.
If only more men gave birth to babies. Maybe then we’d get a bit more bloody understanding about how much it Bloody Hurts. Oh well.
Thomas, 34, was born a lady, but took hormones and had his breasts removed to live as a man. He always hoped to get pregnant one day though, so he kept his female sex organs, telling Oprah it was down to his “human desire” and “right to have my own biological child.”
Some stuffy old squares didn’t agree though, largely the Christian right of America who went flipping apeshit.
His wife Nancy, 45, already has grown-up children and cannot have more biologically after having a hysterectomy.
Look out for exclusive pics in whichever glossy mag has the deepest pockets, very soon.
