Eat More, Lose More

How can we possible eat more food and lose more weight? Sounds crazy, but it is really true. It is called negative calorie intake. Now, all foods have calories, there is no way around it, but some foods will actually cause us to burn more calories trying to digest them then the food themselves actually contain. It's kind of like making your insides exercize while you sit on the sofa.

Ingesting these foods can also help to offset some of the other poor choices we make. Want that 400 calorie piece of cake? Okay, go ahead. Your body will burn about 150 of those calories while digesting so you need to burn another 250 to offset the cake. You can do this with negative calorie foods. Or if you're feelin strong, skip the cake and just let the negative foods do even more work.

For instance, when you eat a piece of broccoli that has 25 calories, you will burn 80 calories just digesting the broccoli, resulting in a whopping extra 55 calories that has to be pulled from your fat stores in the body. Not bad for a piece of broccoli.

A "New" Kind Of Facial Peel

We have all done it...spent tons of money on every new facial product out there. And at some point, I'm sure most of us have tried those Biorre masks. The ones where you wet your face and stick them on, wait till they are dry and then peel them off to see all the yuck that came off of our face. And while they work, they are small, usually just covering the forehead or the nose, and they are also expensive.

Well, here is one crazy home remedy that I have tried and I must admit, it works. Elmers Glue! That's right. The same Elmers Glue we used in elementary school that would stick on our fingers and then peel off. It does the same on our face and brings out just as much yuck as those expensive Biorre strips.

Is it safe? Well, think about it. It is non-toxic and we give it to our children. Think they don't eat it from time to time? Admit it, we all know what it tastes like....just sayin'. Give it a shot...what have you got to lose except some dirt trapped in your pores.

But what about if you can't stand the smell? Here's an alternative. Make your own homemade glue. You can store it in the fridge for about 6 months. You will need:
1 Cup Flour
1 1/2 Cup Water
1/3 Cup Sugar
1 tsp Vinegar

In a saucepan mix 1 cup of flour with 1/3 cup of sugar.
Add half of the water required and mix into a thick paste without clumps.
Pour in the rest of the water and combine till the paste is smooth.
Pour one teaspoon of vinegar and put on medium heat until the mixture starts to thicken.
Cool and transfer to jar or an airtight plastic container.

This glue will keep for a few days on its own but refridgerate to prolong the life.
The vinegar in this glue recipe acts as a mild natural preservative.   Not only is this glue non toxic, but perfectly edible too!
This glue needs more time to dry, but when dried, the bond is really strong.

Give it a whirl and then let me know how it worked.
