Very Green Tea

I have thick hair which i recently cut to about collarbone length. I flat iron it daily, and it's started to become dry and it's been breaking quite a bit. I started using the Aphogee green tea and keratin restructurizer which stopped a lot of the breaking, but it's still breaking off and it's in serious need of moisture.

Which one would be better?

Extreme is for damaged, distressed hair and is designed to repair damage. All Soft is great for making your hair soft and manageable but it isn't designed specifically for repair. In your case, Extreme might be better. All Soft will make it feel nice but it sounds as though you still require repair.

so i want to lose 15-20 lbs in 10 days.. i know its extreme.. but its for a very important event.. how much weight will i lose? should i just stick to the water fast ? september 28th is the day of the event.. i know its not healthy but im also doing it as a way to detox..

That's insane - your body needs food. If you don't eat for 10 days and just drink green tea, you are going to put yourself in the hospital. Just cut out all carbs for that time. But add carbs back to your diet after the event - but only good carbs.

If you want to boost your metabolism, lose weight faster and
keep the weight off, you need to maximize your weight loss
program and calorie burning to get rid of obesity, meaning
stored fat. Weight loss diets are not the only solution to lose
weight, neither exercise alone. An effective weight loss
program includes the combination of a postive attitude, a
balanced diet, weight lifting, aerobic exercise, and having the
right nutritional supplements. Exercises will help you to
keep your body toned and avoid excessive stretch marks for
losing weight.

Let me clarify a myth about weight lifting that helps you burn
more calories. There is a myth that weightlifting will make you
develop big muscles. This is not true. To develop or build big
muscles, you would need to have a detailed weight lifting body
building program. However, practicing basic weight lifting,
including dumbbells, will help you maximize your calories
burning mode and tone your body, not make you look big.

Weightlifting, meaning using weights between 5-50 pounds
approximately, will help you keep lean muscles, improve
strength, muscle definition, flexibility and coordination to
help you lose fat.

Lifting weights actually help you reduce body fat not only
because you burn more calories during the workout, but also
because you continue burning after training.

Hence, an effective way to maximize your weight loss program and
calorie burning is to combine weight lifting and aerobic
exercise. You can do this based on your needs. For example, when
I started my weight loss program at 230 pounds, I did cardio
exercise every day. I started with 10 minutes and gradually
increasing to 60 minutes.

I added weight lifting later because like many, I believed the
myth that I was going to look very masculine by doing weights.
It was only after carefully reading and experiencing with a
basic weightlifting program that I realized how wrong I was.

In fact, I started seeing better results with my weight loss
program when I combined all five ingredients: diet, aerobic
exercise, weight lifting, positive attitude and my
supplements. Most of all, my skin was tighter, and I was not
getting excessive stretch marks as others who were losing great
amount of weight.

Body Nutrients

The other aspect to maximize your calorie burning besides doing
your weights and aerobics is to consume between 15 -30 gr. of
protein within 30 minutes after your workout for muscle
recovery. A good example will be to have a whey protein shake.
Also, drink water throughout your exercise routine to replenish
lost body fluids.

Protein helps you boost your weight loss, increase loss of
body fat while reducing the loss of muscle tissue. Since protein
requires more energy to digest, it burns more calories and helps
your weight loss process.

For example, if your body does not get daily protein and the
essential amino acids on a daily basis, it will steal it from
your existing muscle tissue. Moreover, protein helps you slow
down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. In
addition, it reduces hunger because it reduces insulin levels,
making it easier for your body to burn fat. Plus, it promotes
satiety, making you feel full, hence, having less cravings.

However, prior to your workout, make sure you consume enough
carbs to use as body fuel and not feel weak by following an
extreme low carb menu. For instance, if you love pasta like me,
then, this will be the right time to have your pasta dish.
Ideally, have your starchy carbs (pasta, rice, potatoes) before
3 p.m. Cardio exercise will help you burn stored fat.

Bottom line, you must combine all key aspects for a successful
weight loss program; nutritional supplements alone are not the
solution. They work as supplements to help you accomplish your
weight loss goal faster while providing you with nutrients.

Another great way to boost your metabolism and set it for
maximum calorie burning will be to drink green tea. Get your cup
of green tea first thing in the morning, mid morning, and prior
to workout. Besides, it will help you get rid of toxins.

Just do not forget that it is important to consult with your
physician before starting any weight loss program.

Basic Weight Loss Exercise Routine

1. Aerobic exercise 3 times a week (30-60 minutes)

2. Weightlifting every 2 days

However, if you do not resist a 30 minute cardio, start with 5
or 10 minute session. Most important thing is to start doing
your exercise. Enjoy it; do not condition yourself thinking
exercising is a burden. Prepare positively, visualize the
results, how exercising will help you burn that stored fat,
develop that trimmed abs, toned arms, tight buttocks, and toned
legs.

Same with your weightlifting program, start with 2 or 5 pounds
dumbbells, try to set 20 minutes for your dumbbells or if
running out of time, you can do your dumbbells while watching tv
or taking a break from work. Bottom line, it is always better to
do some exercise than none.

Hence, based on my experience and research studies, one can drop
body fat by adding free weight exercises and practicing at least
3 times a week cardio exercises. Some of the basic exercise
using free weights includes lunges, standing dumbbell shoulder
press, standing dumbbell curl, standing triceps overhead
extension, which is great to eliminate those flabby under arms.

Until next time, have a successful balanced weight loss
program and say bye bye to obesity! Welcome the NEW YOU with
a big smile and new wardrobe. In a nutshell, your obesity
solution is not having a fast weight loss diet to gain all the
weight back. Remember, your main goal is to lose weight and
to keep it off. Now, give me a BIG FIVE! You can do it. I am
here to help you! Therefore, cheers to your successful weight
loss plan and maximization of calorie burning!

Before starting any nutritional program, exercise or diet
program, we advise you to consult with your physician.

resource box “about the author” at the bottom of each article
remain unchanged.

I’ll start this article by revealing that I’m not objective about the topic. In fact, I have an conflict of intense interest: I love green tea.

I start just about every day with two pieces of rye toast and pot of green tea, and I usually make myself a second pot around noon. (I eat a late lunch, around 1:30 PM.)

I’ve noticed that it does exactly what studies on green tea and weight control say it does: reduces appetite.

I’ve read dozens of those studies in the last year as I wrote my new book, The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy: Drug-Free Remedies To Help You Safely Lose Weight, Shed Fat, Firm Up, And Feel Great (Broadway 2007). You can find out more about this book, and all my books on health and healing, at my website, www.drugfreehealing.com.

The studies I read also show that the main ingredients in green tea can increase calorie-burning by as much as 180 calories a day. Maybe green tea is doing that for me: I weigh 158 pounds-just a few pounds over my weight in high school.

And the gentle level of caffeine in the tea helps power me through the morning without the extreme ups and downs that I tend to experience when I drink (okay: guzzle) coffee.

The most active health-ingredient in green tea is a powerful antioxidant called epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG.

Each year, there are literally thousands of studies conducted on EGCG, with scientists showing it protects and strengthens just about every cell and system in the body.

It shields brain cells from damage, stopping Alzheimer’s in mice genetically programmed to develop the disease.

In the laboratory, it reverses many different types of cancer, and is being tested in clinical trials at the Mayo Clinic for leukemia and at the University of Arizona for bladder cancer.

It can lower cholesterol, strengthen the immune system and protect the heart.

And now a new study-published in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association, in September 2006-shows that people who drink green tea aren’t just healthier. They live longer, too.

The study was conducted by a team of Japanese doctors. They looked closely at health statistics from a 10-year study of 40,530 men and women in Japan, aged 40 to 79. And they found that, as these people aged, those who drank the most green tea had the lowest death rates from any cause, and also the lowest death rates from heart disease. The specifics:

Men who 1 to 2 cups of green tea per day were 7% less likely to die during the years of the study than people who didn’t drink green tea. At a daily intake of 5 cups or more, they were 12% less likely to die.

Women got even more protection from green tea: an 18% lower death rate among those drinking 3 to 4 cups, and a 23% lower death rate among those drinking 5 cups or more.

When scientists looked at heart disease-which kills 1 out of every 2 people, here in America-they found the protection was even stronger. Women who drank 5 or more cups of tea a day had a 31% lower risk of dying from heart disease than women who didn’t drink green tea!

Tea also protected against stroke, in men and women.

Needless to say, I’m not planning to break my green tea habit. Based on this study, it might be a habit you may want to consider for yourself.
