Kate Winslet's Secret Diet!

Kate Winslet won the top acting prize at the 81th Oscar award. She is so beutiful and has wonderful body, but she used to be obese when she was 14-year-old. She was a little bit chubby when taking Titanic, so she succeed in losing 10lb only two weeks!



That was a CABBAGE DIET.
Cabbages are one of the famous low calories food. It contains los of minerals, fibers, and vitamins so cabbages are helpful to lose weight.



She ate 2 cabbages per day. In the morning, she ate one toasted bread, a cup of american coffe, and a half cabbage with yogurt dressing.



At the lunch and dinner, there are only a half cabbage, chicken breast with at least fat, and a grapefruit which contain many vitamins and mineral but low calories.



The point of this diet is you NEVER do seasoning all of the food.

Mediterranean Diet is good for you - New study shows that the diet also prevents mental decline

A food pyramid showing what a Mediterranean Diet consists of.

There has been news during the past week about a new study showing the benefits of a Mediterranean Diet. The benefits of the diet are nothing new, but the new study adds to the previous ones by showing one of the biggest advantageds being the prevention of mental decline.

The study shows that eating a Mediterranean diet appears to lower risk for mental decline, and may help prevent Alzheimer’s in people with existing memory problems, new research suggests. The study results can be found on from the website of Archives of Neurology.

The idea of Mediterranean eating is to eat simply made dishes in small proportions and the meals should be consumed among good friends or family for the best effect. The ingredients are nothing special. The diet has lots of green stuff. That means alot of fruits and vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, beans and olive oil. Eggs, dairy, poultry and fish are consumed regularly, but the portions are smaller than typically consumed in a Western diet. Meat is used quite rarely and more often in sauces and the like than in the form of a big blood dripping steak. Other fats (for example butter) than olive oil are consumed rarely. And of course you shouldn't forget your daily glass of good red wine (life is too short for drinking bad wines). More info about the diet can be found from the Mayoclinic website.
