Stars' Food Rxs To Get back On Track!

                               Getting Back On Track!

You may not be a star and that's okay, but you may have something in common with
your favorite star and what is that?
Going overboard or losing control at a party, a buffet table, a friend's wedding, etc.
and if you're one who does tend to eat and drink too much, use some of the
foods listed below to get back on track. 

a) Water-
A glass of H2O will help flush out some of the toxins you take in from
cupcakes and alcohol, fills you up, and it (water)
helps cure the dry skin associated with the Winter season.
b) Fennel- 

You may have heard all about this herb from the lovely Rachael Ray,
And if cravings for comfort foods, (Mac & cheese, biscuits, beef stew)
are getting the best of you, add more fennel to your meals or drink it as
a tea.

Not sure how to buy or prepare it? Go online to Google.com and type
how to use and prepare fennel. Or get the seeds and make a tea.
One last tip concerning fennel-- a top nutritionist recommends fennel
to her patients that are pregnant, why? It stops the endless cravings.
(Hear that Kim K?)
c) Berries-
Without a crust or whipped cream, just plain berries also help to curb Winter
comfort food cravings. 

Another tip: Eat them with some vinegar, (balsamic or apple cider) and
reduce your risk of becoming a diabetic.
d) Fatty Fish-
Depressed, blue, always moody? Eat more fatty fish, it (fish) contains
blues-busting omega-3 fatty acids, the types of acids needed to help you
get through the winter months (mentally and physically) 
 in one piece. 
Plus, fish (salmon, sardines, tuna, trout, herring and mackerel) 
is way cheaper than Prozac and other drugs and there are no side effects. 
e) Eat Fat-
To lose fat.
 You may be craving more comfort foods because you're eating the 

wrong kinds of fats, (cake frosting, sweets, danish, etc) instead, eat avocados, 
nuts, olive, walnut, macadamia and coconut oil and butter. (Yes, butter)
Put some in your coffee to help control appetite later in the day.
f) Eggs-

Yes, they get a bad rap and that's too bad, but eat some in the morning with
a green (or two) and some mushrooms and watch cravings disappear and appetites
shut down.
g) A Broth-
More specifically- bone broth soup, featured on today's edition of "Good
Morning America" this type of soup, will help cure hangovers, (drinking and overeating
hangovers), shut down hunger, and replace the minerals you lost due to a night of
drinking or overeating. Not sure where to find or how to make it?
Head to Google.com and type bone broth soup in the search bar. 


That's it- some helpful food tips some of your favorite stars use to get back on track.
And for more great info, head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type
The Thin Girl's Guide To Prevent Winter Weight Gain in the search bar.
Download it- it only costs the price of one nutritionally-deficient doughnut.

That's it for today.

Good Luck!

An Older Star's Rx For Kissable Lips!

                           Soften Your Lips This Winter! 

Jennifer Lopez, aka J Lo, is all over the place.
She's promoting her new movie- "The Boy Next Door" 

Ms. Lopez like a lot of older men in Hollywood have to keep 
themselves in tip-top shape if they plan on having long careers
and doing love scenes with co-stars who are 20 to 25 yrs. younger.
And by keeping in shape, we mean everything--hair, legs, stomach,
complexions and lips.

Lips?
Yes, if a star plans on being a leading man or woman well into 

their 50's and 60's, lips being in tip-top shape is a must.
And now that it's Winter, lips really take a beating. Why?
Fewer oil glands, which makes it impossible for them to
moisturize themselves.

So, if you want to be like Jennifer Lopez or Johnny Depp
and keep your lips in great shape, do the following...

a) Homemade Moisturizer-
Mix some sugar, (brown or natural) with a little oil,
(almond or olive) and a few drops of vanilla extract

in a bowl. Dampen your lips a little and gently rub this
mixture over your lips, wait a few minutes and then put a little olive oil
or vaseline on as moisturizer.
Or save some time and money, and place some toothpaste
or baking soda on your toothbrush and go over your lips
for 20 to 30 secs.
Or if you don't mind spending money (like J Lo)
go online to drugstore.com and look for a product 

called-Smith's Rosebud Salve. It contains oils that seal
in moisture and create a layer of protection between your lips
and outdoor temperatures and the dry indoor air.
That's it- another tip to help you look your best this Winter season.

And if you want more info on taking care of your hair, nails,
feet, nails and body this Winter season...
head to Amazon.com/the kindle store
and download...see title to the right. 


Good Luck!
