Dr OZ Garcia reveals one things that top celebrities do lose weight fast months or weeks before the bid day. While we all sweat out and eat fat free cabbage, it is clear that there temporary fixes that you can apply. This is form OZ Garcia, PHD, the nutrition specialist behind Heidi Clum instant slimming magic. There has to be something this people do that we do not know. I was excited to read this article today. Here are some secrets that celebrity use for weight loss before the Oscars. You can use them to lose weight before your wedding, prom or a serious date…Enjoy.

Detox one month before your big day
Garcia himself fasts once a week, eating only nutrient-dense, low calorie fruits and veggies—a practice that makes the body more sensitive to insulin and, as a result, can normalize blood sugar levels and raise the rate of metabolism. If you lack the discipline of Garcia, however, a day of fasting could cause you to overeat the next day (or make a beeline for your favorite fast-food chain). A quote from Elle.com

Two weeks before the big day. Do the following:

• 20-40 workout on a treadmill once a day-that is sufficient.

• Get a massage. Massage gets rids of stress hormones and makes your body increase the feel good hormones like Serotonin.

• Do not eat any wheat products. Wheat make you all bloated since it holds water, increase cravings. Also do not eat nay junk and high fructose cor syrup.

So what should you eat.
Greek yogurt, whey protein,plenty of fruits and veggies twice the way you used to eat.
Add almonds in your menu.
Berries.
Eggs.
Eat plenty of small meals the whole day, not one big one at night!! No no.

• No coffee, more water and green tea.

• Finally be happy and buy some dark good chocolate and enjoy….

Plastics contain BPA associated, which is now associated to cancer in humans. In addition it is now claimed that plastics are making you fat and leading to the rise in obesity. The milwaukee journal has reported in its ongoing investigations. It is believed that The BPA in plastics act on genes, change the original cells into fat cells. Of course we know the common culprits like lack of exercise and poor food choices are making us fat. But now it is becoming clear that there is more to the mix, environmental chemicals. It seems some younger people may be exercising, eating right but still seem to keep on adding weight. So it may be that chemicals like BPA in plastics are the culprits here. Stay safe, drink from glasses or use plastic bottles with recycling symbols of number 2,4 or 5. There was an earlier report sometime back that leaving your water in the car for long hours make the BPA seep into the water more. Most water bottles are made with number 1 and are meant for one time use. So if plastic in water bottles are making me fat,  I think it will be safer for me to drink directly from a tap or use the aluminum bottle. Or better carry my own water from home, it is cheaper and safer.
