At some point in their lives every woman envisions the
quintessential beauty enhancers ---clear skin and an attractive
body. Unfortunately nature did not equip all of us with this
envious duo, so we're left to create our own destiny. Not
surprisingly, that is easier said than done.
But before you go out and purchase the latest diet pills, or
spend $50 on a regime that promises a flawless complexion but
delivers more blotches instead, read the following article which
promises clearer skin and a weight loss of 8-12 pounds in 30
days if followed fastidiously.
Mirror, Mirror On The Wall
Clear skin is defined as a flawless complexion void of marks,
blemishes and other defects. According to dermatologists, all of
us have it at some point in our lives. Then adolescence sets in,
and our skin turns into Frankenstein on steroids.
But like other quirks of nature, our skin enters a new phase as
we reach our 20s. The oil glands become less active and once
again we experience the joys of a clear complexion. But despite
this transition, some women still find themselves stuck with
skin that is not to their liking.
Beautiful skin begins on the inside, and is wholly dependant on
the foods you eat. A diet high in fruit, vegetables and chicken
will result in a complexion with few problems. While a diet high
in fried, sugary and greasy food will produce the opposite
effect.
This formula which I have used for 20 years will work, if
followed thoroughly. Any attempt to deviate, will not produce
the desired results. And to reiterate, the key to this recipe,
is FOLLOWING THE REGIME FOR 30 DAYS.
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: Before attempting this diet, it is
important that you see your physician. Women with cancer,
diabetes and eating disorders should avoid this regime entirely.
Clearer Skin Can Be Yours
1. Drink 1-2 gallons of water daily. 2. Eliminate all sugary,
oily and fried foods from your diet. 3. Eat plenty of fish
(especially salmon) chicken, fruits and vegetables. 4. Limit
your intake of bread, rice and other carbohydrates. 5. If you
must use salt, use it sparingly, and make sure it does not
contain iodine. According to experts, iodine, a mineral that
regulates the thyroid, has a tendency to produce acne. 6. Avoid
chips, olives and peanut butter. All of these products contain
iodine which can reek havoc on your complexion. 7. Take vitamins
that are designed to enhance your skin hair and nails. Three

getting into bed. 9. Use soaps that are designed for your
specific skin type. Therefore, if you have oily skin avoid using
soaps that are made for people with dry skin. 10. Keep your
hands away from your face. 11. Give yourself a facial once a
month. For those women who cant afford to shell out $50 to go
to a ritzy.., you can give yourself a fantastic facial in the
privacy of your own home. All you need is a pan, hot water and a
few drops of herbs if preferable. A good one to try is.
Look Out Great Bod Here I Come
1. Do not eat after 9 P.M. 2. Eat only when you are hungry.
Experts contend that people have a tendency to over eat when
they are nervous or depressed. So before you put that slice of
pizza in your mouth, make sure youre really hungry and not just
having a bad day. 3. Do not eat in front of the tv or at the
computer. 4. Eat smaller portions. You can train yourself to eat
less by putting your food on a smaller plate. 5. Weigh yourself
daily. 6. Drink plenty of water. 7. If you INSIST on having a
snack, reach for something nutritional, such as an apple. Okay,
if youre really hungry, make that two apples.
Breakfast
6 ounces of salmon 1 apple or the fruit of your choice 1 8 0z
glass of water
Lunch Salad (If you must spread on a dressing, make sure it low
in fat and calories). Lemon juice is a perfect alternative.
Fruit of your choice A hamburger without cheese, mayo or mustard
is a must have. Moreover, fast food restaurants have an
impressive supply of low cal entrees. So what are you waiting
for? 1 8oz. Glass of water
Dinner 1 cup of raw strawberries. If you dont like to eat them
in their natural state, sprinkle on a sugar substitute for added
flavor; 2 pieces of broiled chicken, 1 cup of beets or string
beans; I 8 oz glass of water.
Snack
Although I dont encourage snacking, I know that everyone
reaches a point where they just have to have something to sink
their teeth into. For you I recommend:
a sweet, juicy fruit: excellent choice; a peach or orange; 1 cup
of Vanilla yogurt sweetened with Aspartame. Believe me when I
say it tastes better than regular yogurt, but without the extra
calories; or try a saucer of delicious sugar-free ice cream.
They come in a variety of flavors; ranging from cherry vanilla
to chocolate swirl. There you have it, a diet that promises
results if used correctly. Now put down that sandwich, youre
