Myke GrayOur fitness expert, Myke Gray, is frequently asked how much water you should really drink to achieve great health and fitness. Here he tells you everything you need to know.

One of the first questions I ask a new client is how much water do you drink each day?

Much has been written on this subject, but I will try to shed some light on how important this nutrient is to our health and well being.

sarah-harding-ultimo1, sarah harding, ultimo, cheryl cole, girls aloudSarah Harding is following her bandmate, Cheryl Cole, down the same old dusty trail where weight lost is inversely proportional to column inches gained.

She’s a skinny girl with a bog brush, sorry, Agyness Deyn, hairdo and a drunk’s smile. What’s the big fascination? And yet there is fascination, so we’re feeding into it too.

breakfast, big breakfast, brekker, egg, fry-up, weight lossLadies who stuff it in first thing stay fuller for longer, snack less, lose weight and keep it off. Sounds like a convincing argument for an almighty grill-up.

Myke GrayDietPixie’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.

Half of UK men are trying to lose weightWho said men could not careless about how their bodies look?

In fact, according to the most predictable health and diet survey since yesterday, men are just as keen as women to get rid of their flabby arms and stomachs as women.

Or at least in the UK they are. Not that we are saying other men around the world are not interested in shedding the pounds. No way!!

What exactly IS a gastric band?

There’s been all sorts of hooplah over lovely big Fern’s gastric band deception, but what exactly is a gastric band, can anyone get one and should we want one?

Despite sounding like a snazzy belt, a gastric band is actually a very serious bit of kit that involves a hardcore (and dangerous) operation.

cheryl cole, cheryl, cole, william, heartbreaker, skinny, skinny celebA classic example of “I’ll show him what he nearly lost” gone wrong? Or just the impact of a high-profile split followed by highly-criticised reunion, following her ‘love-rat’ husband’s indiscretions? Either way, Cheryl Cole is skinny as.

Cheryl was pictured today in the Daily Mail, which was full of characteristic huff and puff about her skeletal frame, swaddled in a tiny long grey t-shirt and spray-on jeans.

lose weight fast and quickYou don’t have to spend hours on the treadmill or go on a punishing diet to start getting into shape.

The road to better health can start with adding simple things into your daily routine – like chewing your food longer, taking deeper breaths and cutting down on how much alcohol you thrown down your neck.

Ok, the last one is not that simple. DietPixie’s writers have always been partial to the odd drink – or seven!

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.

One in five brides-to-be will go to “extreme” methods to slim down for their wedding day, a US study has revealed.

Such is the pressure on women to look ‘perfect’ on their wedding day, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee found that an alarmingly high percentage will risk their health by skipping meals, taking unprescribed pills or laxatives and even ramming their fingers down their throat after eating.

Pregnant man, Thomas Beatie, has had the baby

baby, dummy, pacifier, thomas beatie, pregnant man, man baby, man, sex changeAnd 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.
