DietPixie’s brilliant new fitness expert, Myke Gray, will be giving you weekly advice on getting the body you want. In his first article, Myke lets you in on a cast iron weight loss weapon.
If weight loss is your primary goal, one of the most important things that you need to do is to find out your metabolic rate.
Although it’s a bit more nuanced than this, we’re delighted to hear that guzzling red wine like a Frenchman will undo all sorts of damage from a high-fat diet. That’s all the excuse we need.
Despite the penchant for pâté, cheese, butter and baguettes, the French have always maintained high standards of health compared with many of their less boozy, less cheesy Euro-buddies. It’s known as the ‘French paradox’ and it’s been pissing puzzled scientists off so much they’ve gone on a mission to crack the code.
It’s a stark chart-topper, but coronary heart disease is the number one killer in the UK. Pure and simple, you’re more likely to die from a dodgy ticker than anything else.
However, there is plenty that can be done to help keep your heart healthy.
Every year, 70,000 premature deaths in the UK - more than one in 10 - could be avoided if people in the UK adopted a healthier diet, according to new research.
Breaking news: Amy Winehouse is not, at the time of going to press, on the brink of death. As recently as yesterday, she was frolicking on a beach in the sun like an actual human.
The troubled singer-songwriter (where “troubled” is an euphemism for ‘we expect her to be found dead in a ditch any second’) spent Sunday on a beach in St. Lucia. We thought she was in rehab in London, but OK.
So far, her latest stint in treatment doesn’t seem to have done Wino any harm; splashing around in a pair of bikini bottoms, she’s distinctly less skeletal and has clearly undergone the process that the Daily Mail refers to as “packing on the pounds” and we at DietPixie call “starting to consume something other than crack”.
Amy has also reportedly started working out for two hours a day - and it seems ‘working out’ is not just code for ‘rolling around on the floor, clawing at the walls and screaming for drugs/booze/Blake’. She has apparently hired a personal trainer and “bounds in to work out on the bikes, weights and Power Plate”.
On the one hand, I’m pleased to see Amy looking a bit more human and actually smiling for a change. On the other hand, things have got pretty bad if Amy freaking Winehouse spends more time in the gym than I do. Who am I supposed to use now as my ‘it could be worse’ person? “It could be worse, you could be Amy Winehouse.” It’s not going to work if she’s running around on Caribbean beaches, now is it?
Still, there’s always Britney.
