Recently I was at the grocery store in the organic section when I found new beverages called Nutrisoda. They come in a small can similar to Redbull but are quite different. Each of the seven flavors are packed with different nutrients. They don’t just refresh you, they revitalize you. They’re delicious, refreshingly carbonated nutrient-enhanced sodas with zero sugar, caffeine, sodium or aspartame. Here’s the run down…

FOCUS (Peach + Mango): Helps sharpen your thinking and concentrates the mind For more information click here

FLEX (black cherry + apple): Helps lubricate active joints and facilitates movement and flexibility For more information click here

The FDA approved orlistat capsules — called “alli” — as an over-the-counter weight loss aid for overweight adults.

That makes alli the first FDA-approved over-the-counter weight loss pill. Orlistat is also sold in higher doses by prescription under the brand name Xenical

Singer Amy Winehouse has recently dropped to the very low weight of 98 pounds. She admits to having a problem but insists on working her problems out on her own.

“Someone tried to get me into a weight rehabilitation thing, but I’m the kind of person who can do it by myself,” she said. “I’m not in denial; I knew I had a problem, but it got to the point where it was like, ‘We want you to eat three solid meals a day,’ and I was like, ‘No girl under the age of 30 eats three meals a day. Girls eat two meals a day.”

She does NOT look healthy!!!

The average woman can burn up to 500 calories during an hour of lovemaking but…

 For most women, the choice between sex and a new wardrobe is simple — they go for the clothes.

Women on average say they would be willing to give up sex for 15 months for a closet full of new apparel, with 2 percent ready to abstain from sex for three years in exchange for new duds, according to a new survey of about 1,000 women in 10 U.S. cities.

Sixty-one percent of women polled said it would be worse to lose their favorite article of clothing than give up sex for a month. Nearly half of the women, or 48 percent, taking part in the survey by consumer products giant Unilever said their favorite article of clothing was more reliable than their man in giving them confidence and making them feel sexy.

Tonight’s E! News featured a segment on Hollywood revenge diets so I decided to take some notes. The focus was on four recent heartbreak victims Reese Witherspoon, Drew Barrymore, Carmen Electra, and Kate Hudson.

Reese Dropped 10 pounds and went from a size 6 to a size 2 after her October breakup from Ryan Phillipe. Her diet consists of a high fiber muffin for breakfast, chicken salad for lunch, and salmon with veggies for dinner. When it comes to fitness Reese runs 3 miles each day and does yoga.

Drew Barrymore lost 20 pounds after her breakup with Fabrizio Moretti. She lost the weight eating cereal for breakfast, a chicken sandwich for lunch, and fish with veggies at dinner time. Drew says she does pig out sometimes but makes up for it by running 5 miles everyday and lifting weights 5 days a week.

Even Carmen Electra lost 10 pounds after her breakup with rocker Dave Navarro. She dropped the weight by avoiding all salt, oil and butter. Carmen also regularly participates in belly dancing, yoga and ballet classes to keep her body in tip top shape.

After Kate Hudson’s separating with husband Chris Robinson she toned up by dropping 10 pounds. Kate’s diet secrets include eating smaller portions and organic foods. She also stays in shape with stripper aerobics and running around after her 3 year old son Ryder.

Did you know that the average nursing mother burns 500 calories per day? That’s how Golden Globe winner Actress Rachel Weisz lost her baby weight “I don’t really have a magic potion or pill.”I do Pilates. Nursing burns a lot of calories, 500 calories a day. So, if I could help promote breast-feeding, that would be a good way.”

Not only is breast feeding a great way to drop that baby weight, but is also beneficial to your child’s health. Breast-fed children are significantly more likely to do well in measures of stereoscopic vision than are those who received formula during infancy, according to UK researchers.
