Fitness for you on Youtube

I found it interesting that Ford Models, the world's leading fashion, talent, and innovative digital media company, offers the latest fashion, beauty, fitness, and lifestyle shows for your viewing.
Ok, so not THAT supprised. There are tons of videos on Youtube.com that can help you get into shape, but I personally like this channel the best.

Healthy VS Anorexic - Do You Want to Be Anorexic?

I know it may seem trendy or cool to be extremely thin and a size 0, I admit I have wanted to be size 0 before but now I realise that its not all its cracked up to be. Being super thin doesn't make you happy. Actually I think you will find that it will make you unhappy and withdrawn from your friends and family. I've been doing some research and a lot of people search for 'how to be anorexic'. It's pretty silly isn't it. Celebrities who are super skinny gain media attention and the more exposure they have the more work they get. This gives young girls the message that being extremely thin makes you popular and happy.

The only way to be as thin as Nicole Richie or Mary Kate used to be is to starve yourself. If you do starve yourself chances are it will lead to uncontrollable binge episodes and then you will be riddled with guilt. This is how eating disorders come about. After you have eaten a huge amount of calories uncontrollably you will be desperate to get rid of them. This is how bulimia starts. Bulimia, exercise bulimia or taking laxatives (its proven laxatives don't do get rid of any of the calories at all, it just gets rid of water weight making you feel better about yourself).
I think a lot of the celebrities do have eating disorders and the ones who do are definitely not happy. An eating disorder can quickly and easily overtake your life. A lot of the time eating disorders develop from diets. Somebody may decide they want to lose weight so they start on a healthy diet and exercise plan. People start to notice and give them compliments, this is where it can become addictive. Eventually weight loss slows down and the person has to reduce calories even further to see any results. Then the weight loss will stop again and once again calories are reduced. It's a vicious cycle and something to be avoided.

I've included a couple of videos, the first one is Kim Strothers. She's a Ford Fitness Model and eats 5 times a day. The second video is a TV Ad about anorexia. The girl in the ad probably eats less than 200 calories a day or goes for days without eating and exercises a lot. Notice how vibrant and happy Kim is and how unhappy and depressed the girl in the second video is.
Eating disorders are lonely. If you think you may be suffering from an eating disorder there is help available out there. Go to http://www.CaringOnline.com

Pretty Heavy Rumor About MK

If I were recovering from an eating disorder, I'd definitely relapse after seeing the media all over the world saying this…

“Mary-Kate has been looking a lot rounder recently,” a source close to the normally pint-sized 22-year-old tells the National Enqurier. “It is good she has put on weight, because she previously suffered from anorexia, but a lot of people think she could actually be attempting to hide her pregnancy.”

Teri Hatcher No Longer Looks Anorexic

Hoorah! Teri Hatcher is looking healthier now than she did in the past. I'm happy for her. And for the millions of women who aspire to look like a walking skeleton, perhaps they will see that healhy is the new black. (or something like that :)

5 Facts You MUST Understand if You Are Ever Going to Lose Your Belly Fat and Get Six Pack Abs

If you've always wanted six pack abs (not the manly kind, but the feminine Victorias Secret Model kind) then you might find this interesting! The picture below is model Marisa Miller.

1. Many so-called "health foods" are actually cleverly disguised junk foods that actually stimulate you to gain more belly fat… yet the diet food marketing industry continues to lie to you so they can maximize their profits.

2. Ab exercises like crunches, sit-ups, and ab machines are the LEAST effective method of getting flat six pack abs. We'll explore what types of exercises REALLY work in a minute.

3. Boring repetitive cardio exercise routines are NOT the best way to lose body fat and uncover those six pack abs. I'll show you the exact types of unique workouts that produce 10x better results below.

4. You DON'T need to waste your money on expensive "extreme fat burner" pills (that don't work) or other bogus supplements. A special class of natural foods is much more effective. I'll tell you about these natural foods and their powers below.

5. Ab belts, ab-rockers, ab-loungers, and other infomercial ab-gimmicks… they're all a complete waste of your time and money. Despite the misleading infomercials, the perfectly chiseled fitness models in the commercials did NOT get their perfect body by using that "ab contraption"… they got their perfect body through REAL workouts and REAL nutrition strategies. Again, you'll learn some of their secrets and what really works below.

Britney Starving Herself?

Heres the latest roomsky:
A source said: 'She goes to bed hungry and is dieting so hard she's suffering from insomnia, anxiety, flushes and shakes. Her father and the people around her are trying to get her to eat more, but Britney is determined not to be criticised for having any extra bulk.'


Hmm….considering she is spending thousands of dollars per month on personal training and nutritionists I find it hard to believe she would be starving herself. You can tell from her muscle tone that she is doing it the healthy way. If not, she would be anorexic by now!
What ever happened to giving credit where credit is due!

What do you think?
