1. ALMONDS

Almonds are a tiny snack, packed with big nutritional value. Each serving is packed with vitamin E, magnesium, protein and fiber. When trying to lose weight, both protein and fiber can help you change your body composition. Consuming enough protein foods is important to the development of lean muscle mass. Dietary fiber is beneficial to your digestive health and as a weight-loss tool. Consuming fiber helps you to feel fuller for longer. Almonds make an ideal diet food because they give you the fiber to help sustain you, while also providing you with protein.

In addition to being packed with nutrients, almonds are also rich in monounsaturated fats. A recent study published in the "International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders" found that consuming monounsaturated fats, such as almonds, can help you both lose weight and reduce your Body Mass Index, or BMI .This type of fat specifically helps to reduce fat stored in the abdominal region. Foods rich in monounsaturated fats are also beneficial if you have a history of heart disease or diabetes. Monounsaturated fats can help stabilize your blood sugar and help to reduce bad cholesterol buildup in your arteries.


2.BEANS
Beans are one of the best foods for weight loss because they are low-calorie and nutrient-dense. Beans are rich in protein, potassium, fiber and magnesium. A 1/2-cup serving contains the same amount of protein as 1 oz. of meat. Beans are a great alternative for vegetarians trying to obtain sufficient protein in their diet.

3.VEGETABLES
An array of vegetables can help you lose stomach weight because they are low in calories and sugar, but antioxidant- and nutrient-dense. Some examples include broccoli, cabbage,lettuce and carrots. Peppers are advantageous because they are a natural source of capsaicin, and this enhances the thermogenic effect in your body to increase fat burning. You can eat veggies by themselves, mix them into salads or use them as a side dish for your meals.

I have been contemplating this for a long time,

my doctor says if you have to work out any time ,you should have a light meal one or two hours before any work out.( says it prevents you from trembling after a tough work out )

my Personal Trainer says its good to work out on an empty belly, that way your exercises are targeted on the fat stored in your body.

Personally,i feel bloated and heavy when working out, this is after having breakfast and hitting the gym.

My mom is a chef/caterer/cook/....and i was born a sweet tooth. still loving my fried plantain and egg , the aroma drives me crazy.

here's a routine that works for me.

mix
melted shea butter ,1 tbl sp
Natural olive oil, 2 teasp
castor oil or Almond oil, 2 tea spoon
coconut oil,1 tea spoon.
and real mayonnaise ( the one used in salad dressing) 1 tbl spoon

mix thoroughly and then apply to the scalp, 3 to 4 times a week

then steam your hair with it once a week.

avoid dying your hair,avoid any form of glue for bonding hair, avoid relaxing your hair every month( i apply relaxer to my hair every 4 to 5 months,it helps retain my natural hair colour,black)

you can also use add the Hemp weed recommended above.

wash and condition your hair 2 to 3 times a week. ( i used motion herbals conditioner ,the one you leave for a while and rinse off after shampooing) but now i use Organics conditioner for damaged hair,its also quite good.

and if you happen to use hair products from salons when you go to make your hair(their cond or shampoo) STOP IT NOW!
those things do nothing for your hair, they have been bought and diluted for commercial purposes.

Good luck ,and congrats on your forth coming wedding.

IMAGEMasters: Hello,

I would like to bring to your attention the activities of one of your moderators on Nairaland which goes by the username Kandiikane.
I posted some comments on a thread in the fashion section of the forum on the topic : REASONS WHY OUR WOMEN,LADIES OR GIRLS DRESS INDESCENTLY.
I just discovered that my replies to the topic has been deleted for reasons one can only imagine.
Having gone through most of the comments posted by this moderator, they have been more of abusive words and threats to nairaland users,which is unwarranted.
I want to believe that this is not the way you intend nairaland to be moderated by your staff/coleagues.
I will appreciate it if my post on the above Topic is returned back to the thread as soon as possible and also call your moderator Kandiikane to order.
Thank you ,as you continue to make nairaland and Nigeria a better place for all.

IMAGEMasters.





Pls find below,my post that was deleted.

@kandiikane
No one has abused or insulted you on here, why so much aggression,curses and threats on other users?
Judging from your posts,you seem to have a knack for things like these and I have to say as a moderator this is so unacceptable.
What you have to understand is that its just a forum ,no need to get all worked up and personal.I think you should take to your own advise,Thus, ""for you to channel your anger to better society"" .

IMAGEMasters: Even the first word I wrote has been changed to "silly" just goes to explain words you wouldn't like to call others,let alone your self.

@Kandiikane
As much as I would like to accept your apologies(which I think belongs to the people you were abusing forgetting they are also "Human" I still have to bring you down from that ladder of pride you are climbing on in delivering your so called apology.

"Psycological harm you've experienced". Puuooh,
I wasn't insulted neither was I abused,all I ask is PLEASE RETURN MY POST BACK ON HERE
And I think I speak for everyone else whom you may have treated in this same distasteful manner (deleting any comments you like with out regard for the regulations i believe that has been set before you as a moderator)that You are not only abusing the rights given to you here, but also the rights of other Nairaland users.
I kindly appeal to you to be the "bigger person" you are and tender your apologies to the parties you have offended here, and return my Post to this thread.

And if you decide not to return them... Just remember this- treat others as you wish them to treat you because like they say what goes around comes around.

By the way as regards "" doing your best as the moderator ""

A moderator is impartial, non-bias,acts as a mediator in settling conflicting issues/debates and renders a POSITIVE responce to questions,comments and above all brings order to an altercation, online or as the case may be.



(Hmm... Breathes sigh of relief) Do have your self a less worked up day.

May God Bless You, Your family and Your entire Generation!

The Django Unchained actor, 45, said he had been talking Corinne, now 19, about college and relationships on their way over to the ceremony on Sunday. "Just catching up," he said. "Talking about love."

That's a big difference from 2005 when Foxx won his Best Actor Oscar for Ray.

"She's 11," Foxx said of Corinne at those Oscars. "She said, 'Dad, after this, can we go to the big awards?' – which are the Nickelodeon Awards."
