The Stop Solution – Stop Yo-Yo Dieting, Snacking And Big Portions – Hypnosis
Who doesn’t like to have a snack or two between meals?
Web Watch has been known to grab a 3pm bowl of popcorn while at the office. Snickers and 5-Hour Energy have entire advertising campaigns around mid-day snacking.
So we shouldn’t be surprised about what the ALMOND BOARD OF CALIFORNIA found out after survying over 400 women aged 35 and over.

12 hassle-free exercises that you can do while watching TV
Now that we’re fully into the new year, it’s time to revisit that age-old New Year’s Resolution, GOING TO THE GYM MORE OFTEN.
Those of us who are smart will take the first six weeks of the year and NOT go to the gym on a regular basis, as then we have to deal with the newbie idiots who’ve never been to the gym before but feel that it’s necessary in order to Feel Good About Themselves Because They’re Sticking to their New Year’s Resolution.
Those people can suck it, because they’re not going to be around the gym any more after the Super Bowl is over. We all know that January is the worst time to try to use the gym since it’s more crowded than it needs to be.

If you are one of the millions of people who suffer from gluten allergy (also known as celiac disease), or just want to limit the amount of gluten that you ingest on a daily basis to something a bit more tolerable for your body, then you may want to read a recent study that came out that did some analysis on one item that almost requires gluten to exist in the first place:
Beer.
Yes, there are many gluten-free beers on the market today, but how many of them are labeled correctly with the term “gluten-free” if they actually contain gluten?

Sometimes you really are what you eat.

You know all those stories about college girls gaining weight in their first year of school? The dreaded “Freshman 15″?
Yeah, it’s a total lie.
That’s right — freshmen do NOT gain 15 extra pounds when they’re away at college due to the awesomeness of the college cafeteria meal plan.

Zumba Fitness Total Body Transformation System
With Halloween right around the corner, we’re at the start of the annual Winter Get Fat season (comprised of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day — combined with all those weekly college and pro sports that require copious amounts of beer and wings every week).
So it should come as no surprise that fitness companies are already figuring out what they need to do in order to help us stay fit and healthy — or at the very least, get us back on the healthy road for the rest of the year come January 1st.

Model replica of one-pound of fat
Being fat isn’t necessarily good for you.
But Donna Simpson made it work for her.
How? Donna Simpson was the Guinness World Record holder for “World’s Heaviest Mother” and clocked in at 600 lbs on her 5’2″ frame.
Yeah, that’s a lot of woman. And we’re sure that Web Watch readers are asking the same thing — when you weigh 600lbs, what can you do to earn a living? It certainly can’t be easy manuevering around a workplace when you’re that big.
Well, you could do what Donna did.

Black Faux Leather Fashion Steel Boned Corset
Men, you like the corsets, don’t you?
Of course you do. You find them sexy on pretty much any woman who goes through the effort of putting on one for you.
But would you feel the same if the tables were turned, and YOU were the one to wear a Male Corset? Well, it could happen — Asda in the UK is now selling a male corset. Of course, Asda doesn’t go as far as to call it a corset — that wouldn’t do well for sales, would it?

Buy the book “Eat Healthy Without Going to Extremes”
For the past few years, the Center for Science in the Public Interest has been monitoring what restaurants have been serving, as a way to inform the public about the horrors that await them when eating wonderful, delicious restaurant food.
Web Watch, like you, loves cheese.
We apparently didn’t know that adding cheese to any meal is typically a no-no when it comes to eliminating fat and calories from one’s diet. So we’re torn – cheese tastes good, but it’s bad for you.
Oh well – maybe we’ll just have one or two small bites, then set the rest of these phenomenally sounding meals away to snack on later. Can’t let all that cheese go to waist, can we? (See what we did there? Looks like we mispelled “waste” as “waist”. Ha!)
Want to save money?
Well, you have to ask yourself about what is one of your biggest expenses that you can’t live without.
That’s right – it’s your liquor and beer. What’s life if you can’t have a decent drink once in a while?
Continue reading "New money-saving tip: get drunk, not broke"
David Zinczenko, Matt Goulding, and the rest of the gang at Men’s Health have a great concept that Web Watch wholeheartedly agrees with — if you want to lose weight the easy way, just change what you eat through simple meal replacements.
Like the photo above, you can still have your giant-sized coffee beverage, but the Starbucks version will save you 200 calories and 30 grams of fat.
But let’s face it – their book is full of practical advice when what we really want are the details surrounding the unpublished information on the drinks we really enjoy: beer and liquor.

A new study of over 2000 vegans entitled VEGAN FROM THE INSIDE shows that veganism really isn’t as weird or awful as it might sound to those who don’t practice it or aren’t familiar with the diet.

Calorie Smart Food Journal for Dieting
A new year calls for new resolutions.
So why not go with the old standby and vow to lose some weight this year? We all basically can do something about it — and we all know that losing weight comes down to just one thing: taking in fewer calories than we put out.

A study by University of Virginia professor Kathyrn Sharpe in the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing entitled “Consumption Effects of Bundling: Consumer Perceptions, Firm Actions, and Public Policy Implications,” says that ordering combo meals may not be good for you, health-wise.
The study found that when given a choice of ordering menu items a la carte vs ordering them as a combo meal, consumers would order the combo more often — even if the price point was exactly the same as the a la carte options.

The 5 Grossest Foods You’re Eating RIGHT NOW
Web Watch isn’t the best to tell you what you should or shouldn’t be eating, most likely because we would never listen to a thing we say about this (“do as we say, not as we do” doesn’t apply to us, it seems).
But our good friends over at EAT THIS, NOT THAT have come up with a list of the FIVE GROSSEST THINGS YOU’RE EATING that will probably make you think again about the crap that you’re putting into your body every day.
