14 Rules to Get Fit in 2014

You may have packed on a few pounds over the holidays, but now's your chance to get your body back, with the help of elite trainer Tracy Anderson. The 38-year-old mom of two is famous for not only molding the shapes of Gwyneth Paltrow, J. Lo and other A-listers but also understanding the factors that prevent many of us from reaching our goals. "When I was struggling to lose weight after I had my first child, I realized I couldn't just get on a treadmill and then go home and eat pizza," Tracy says. "I had to become a complete package." She went on to lose 60 pounds.

Set yourself up for success
Establishing concrete goals (like these new year's resolutions) will help you succeed. "You can't just say, 'Oh, I want to start working out' or 'I wish I could lose weight,'" says Tracy. (Here are more examples of resolutions that won't work.) "You need to have a specific plan and a clear vision of what you want for your body." So often we fail to reach our goals because we're simply not focused on what we actually hope to achieve. Write down why you want to shed weight. Jot down the days and times that you plan to work out, then build them into your calendar so there's no excuse. And starting today, make sure your fridge is stocked with good-for-you picks. "The sooner you begin making healthier choices that work for you," Tracy promises, "the faster you'll start feeling 10 to 20 years younger."

Make exercise nonnegotiable…
"Working out is just like brushing your teeth," explains Tracy. "It's a routine that is essential to the body for overall health and longevity." When you treat exercising like it's a luxury, you are more likely to blow it off, she adds. And then your body won't look, feel or perform at its best.

Weight Loss With Cinnamon & Honey Tea

Some people believe drinking cinnamon and honey tea will help them lose weight, but no scientific evidence backs up this claim. While studies haven't looked at the effects of honey and cinnamon tea, they have found beneficial effects for the individual ingredients. People with metabolic syndrome who consume cinnamon mixed with water show improved percentage body fat and increased lean body mass, according to a 2008 article published by Richard A. Anderson in Proceedings of the Nutrition Society.

Identification

Cinnamon is the brown bark of the cinnamon tree, according to the World's Healthiest Foods at whfoods.com, a project of the nonprofit George Mateljan Foundation. When dried, it forms a tube known as a quill, or cinnamon sticks. It can also be found as a ground powder. The World's Healthiest Foods states that cinnamon is one of the oldest spices around. It's a very good source of manganese, fiber, calcium and iron, according to the website. Honey is a sweet, rich golden liquid produced by honey bees. Flower nectar is mixed with special enzymes in the bees' saliva. It can be made from a variety of flowers and comes in several colors, including white, amber, red, brown and almost black.

Body Weight

A 2007 study published in the Journal of Food Science compared the body weights of rats fed sugar-free, 8 percent sucrose, 8 percent mixed sugars or 10 percent honey diets. Researcher L.M. Chepulis found that rats fed honey gained about the same amount of weight as rats fed sugar free diets, even though the honey-fed rats ate more food. Honey-fed rats gained less weight than those who were fed sucrose or mixed sugar diets, according to the study. Still, this study only shows that honey is beneficial when it replaces other sugar, not that it will be beneficial when added to tea.

5 Teas that make you slim!

The brew that energises can also help you lose weight. Here's how...

It's widely known that just one cup of tea can prevent strokes, arthritis, tooth decay and even keep cancer at bay. While it's regarded as nature's tranquiliser for its soothing properties, the brew also has another great benefit - it helps shed weight. Scientists have shown that tea has high levels of compounds that battle the absorption of fat.

Here are 5 teas that can result in a slimmer you...
Star anise tea: promotes digestion
Star anise, the fruit of a small evergreen tree (Illicium verum) native to China, can be used in the treatment of digestive troubles such an upset stomach, diarrhea, nausea etc. One may drink a tea made from it by steeping a whole pod in one cup of hot water for 10 minutes. Strain this and sweeten it if required. Sip on this slowly when an upset stomach occurs.

Peppermint tea: controls what you eat
If you like peppermint tea then try and rotate that with a green tea drink as both speed up digestion and thus help you burn more calories. The peppermint leaves can be used to make a light, refreshing tea, which can be drunk either hot or chilled. To prepare the tea, take a tablespoon of fresh or dried leaves and add them to boiling water and let it steep for four to five minutes. Strain and add honey, if needed.

Here's how you can stay slim

Tried those yo-yo diets and always gained back those kilos? Here's a guide that'll help you maintain your body for good

Losing weight and maintaining your body requires a lifetime commitment. Dieting, on the other hand, requires you to follow a regimented programme until you get to a certain weight. When you reach that desired number, it isn't unusual to go back to your old habits. Here's a 10-step guide that'll help you maintain that newly acquired svelte body for a lifetime.

Personalise your diet 
Do not follow the latest 'size zero' diet that your favourite star is following. Nutritionists say a diet works best when they are customised. It must depend on your body constituency, basal metabolic rate and lifestyle.

Ditch the scale 
Your weight depends on your water intake, bone density and muscle mass. Although you may look slimmer, the weighing scale may show a number higher than what you anticipate. It's wiser to pay attention to how your clothes are fitting you, or measure the midpoint of your waist, and your bra size and track how the inches have reduced or increased over time.
