7 Best Ways To Lose Weight In 1 Week

Here, I give you the simplest ways by which you can surely lose 2 kilos in a week. There are no fad diets, no rigorous exercises; it’s all about you or to be precise a ‘slim’ you in 7 days.

1. Breathing!
Yes simply by breathing, you can lose two kilos in a week. Amazing it is, but true! What you need is mere patience and 10 minutes. With just 10 minutes of daily practice of breathing exercise, your body is harmonised and balanced, bringing it to a healthy state.

2. Good Bye Foods- Welcome Whole Foods
For these 7 days, stock your house with fruits, vegetables, healthy meats, grains and cereals. Explore the world of healthy, tasty snacks and appetisers, ready to satisfy your cravings and your body!

3. No Sodium!
Avoid or minimise salt, it might sound difficult but it is certainly a small sacrifice for a slim body. Just flavor your food with other herbs and spices instead. Try a low sodium salsa spread on bread instead of sour cream and butter; this will not only taste good but also feel good on your body.

4. Have a Sexy Saturday!
Wondering what it can do in a weight loss plan? Well, if you are married then make this weekend a sexy weekend. Plan a hot makeout date with your beloved. For women ‘being on top’ is not only a ‘Rocking’ but also a great fat buster position.
A Sexy fat, Oops! Fact- A simple make out session burns up to 238 calories. Now that is some safe fat buster, isn’t it?

5. Take the ‘Bitter but Better’ Route
It is time to cut the sugar. Replace the processed foods full of sugar and if you are fond of spices then chili sauces offer a lot of flavor without calories. Spicy food increases body’s metabolic rate which makes you digest your food faster.

6. Eat, Eat and Eat!
Yes! It is a myth that skipping meals makes you slim. The fact is when you do not eat; it becomes difficult for your body to find food. Thus, in order to protect you from starving; Your body slows down your metabolism and as a result, you burn fat at a slow pace. The next meal (if you skip breakfast then your lunch) will all be stored as fat. This way you are indirectly gaining weight instead of losing. The right way is to eat regularly throughout these 7 days and split your meals.

7. Tasty Drinks: just for you!
The healthiest drink in this 7 day plan is ‘Water’. Drink plenty of water each day along with natural juices. No artificial juices and soft drinks. If you are fond of milk then take low-fat or skimmed milk. All these liquids will create a feeling of satiety when consumed.

6 Signs You Are In A Healthy Relationship!!!

Most couples tend to define their relationship as being good or bad. However, psychiatrists and marriage counselors believe that the actual term that should define a relationship is “healthy”. A relationship (be it a healthy or an unhealthy one), has to pass through testing times. If you too are going through some ups and downs, it is best to find out how healthy your relationship is. Here are a few things which will help you to discover the current state of your relationship.

1. Mutual respect
This is an ultimate test for any relationship. Respecting your partner is perhaps the biggest contribution you can make towards a stronger relationship. This does not mean that you start worshipping your partner. Here, respect could be something as simple as admiring them for the manner in which they handle a stressful job and fulfill their duties towards you and your kids.

2. Personal crisis is not an individual struggle
Everybody goes through difficult times due to factors such as health, workplace and family issues. However, in a healthy relationship, your problems are no longer just yours. This means, he or she is there to sense that you are struggling with something, and is also ready to help. Couple-hood loses its essence if the two of you are not there for each other during tough times.

3. No Room for abuse
This refers to an abusive behavior beyond the realm of just saying negative words to each other. Forcing you to relent even when you are not in the mood to get intimate is also a type of physical and mental abuse. Also, being repeatedly badmouthed by the in-laws despite your best attempts to appease them is parallel to being psychologically abused. If such things are part of your relationship, it is certainly not healthy.

4. Being happy for each other comes naturally
If you two can feel happy for each other for the smallest of accomplishments, it indicates a healthy relationship. For instance, if your wife is praised by her boss, it is a reason enough for you to feel happy for her. Similarly, the smallest layer of muscle your husband has added through his gyming makes you kiss him with adoration. These are strong indications that your bond does not need significant happenings to make you feel happy for the other person.

5. Minimal boredom
This is perhaps the most common relationship challenge till date. Most couples, who have a difficult time dealing with their couple-hood (including the newlyweds), keep talking about a certain kind of boredom that has set in their relationship. Though this is an inevitable part of any relationship, the boredom should not become overwhelming. So much so, that you no longer wait for the ‘exclusive moments’ with him or her. If it has been more than a couple of months when you last spent some quality time with your spouse, your relationship is for sure taking a gradual nosedive.

6. Honesty is not an issue
When being honest, and I mean, being brutally honest with each other is not an issue, you can be assured that you share a healthy relationship. This is easier said than done, since sharing what you actually feel, your opinions or emotional state in its absolute sincere form does not come easy.

Justin Bieber Lost $40k Gold Chain in Reported Club Attack

Justin Bieber's night out over the Labor Day weekend didn't seem to turn out as planned. Pictures on the internet showed the teen Canadian singer involved in a physical altercation with another clubgoer. During the brawl, he allegedly lost his gold chain worth $40,000.

The scuffle happened at Uniun Nightclub, a late-night establishment in downtown Toronto, around 3 in the morning of Saturday, August 31. Early report suggested Bieber was attacked by a male party goer when he was leaving his VIP section to mingle with the regular crowd.

TMZ reported the man attempted to pull Bieber down by his shirt, but security was quick to intervene. The unnamed male was caught on camera getting tackled to the ground by the popstar's bodyguard. He was said being escorted out of the club later on.

Orin Bristol, operations manager at the Adelaide St. W. nightspot, insisted it was not an attack. The manager claimed the male just approached the singer for pictures. "The fan was just a small little guy," Bristol said as quoted by the Star. "He wasn't being aggressive."

"Security was a bit aggressive," Bristol added. "There weren't punches thrown really; it was more of a shoving match and pushing match."

Police were not called to the scene.

Things Men Wish Women Knew About Sex

So we are here again, another Tuesday, another happy day, and another SexVille Day! I have been doing a lot of research in the past one week and I have come to the conclusion that women generally that when it comes to sex, guys are just so simple to satisfy. In their heads, they believe that all you have to do to make a man happy in the bedroom is just to open up, invite him in and let him thrash away till he ‘cums’, and off he goes, smiling and singing the blues. But that is really a fallacy. There are things he wants from you that will make him truly come to his own. The great philosopher, Sigmund Freud called female sexuality “the dark continent”; if that’s true, male sexuality could qualify as the dark planet. The bedroom is one of the great stages of male performance, and as such, what you see and hear is typically the role, not the reality. It’s no wonder, in trying to please the actor, a woman loses sight of a guy’s true identity. Now, SexVille Tuesday brings you the “unmasking” facts you may want to know on what your man wants and wish you knew.

We Respond To Praise

It’s believed that we men are so consumed by our libido that we have no self-consciousness surrounding sex. But men are no different from women when it comes to compliments as catalysts for sexual confidence. This praise can be delivered before reaching the bedroom (give us the once-over and tell us how buff we look), and after (give us the once-over and tell us how buff we look naked). Along those lines, men worry about the size of their guts (and other measurable organs), their hair (or lack thereof) and other attributes. Try to be extra affirming about those sensitivities.

We Fear Intimacy…

…but not for the reason you think! Studies have shown that boys are more affectionate, even more expressive, than girls until they reach school age. At that time, social repression begins – of words, thoughts, feelings- and our desire for human connection goes underground. So taboo is this desire for intimacy that its possibility can terrify men – not because it’s smothering, but because we realize how desperate we are for it. What’s a woman to do? First, understand that your guy’s hasty retreat post-sex may be about his own shock at how much he craves a connection with you (and how much he’s denied it in life). Then, retreat a little yourself. This gives him time to see that his boyhood habits are, in fact, perfectly manly.

We Appreciate Sex for Sex’s Sake

Having said that about intimacy, sometimes, a little “throw-me-down sex” is the right medicine. According to Joe Kort, PhD, a psychotherapist and sexologist, “Men want their wives to enjoy raw sex, not just endure it or take it personally. For men, it’s not about dominating a woman, but ravishing her.” On occasion, try letting him ravish you.

We Are Not Just Our…

The penis gets all the press, but men have “many erogenous zones,” says psychologist Melodie Schaefer, PsyD. “Men tend not to correct women because they’re afraid women will shut down and not touch them at all. But there are many places a woman should touch.” Like the chest, the inner thighs and face. Two other key areas: Gently gripping a man’s testicles can be a real turn-on, as it blends control with release. Also, stimulating the perineum, the area between the scrotum and anus, will heighten pleasure. The earlobes, lips, navel, tummy and nipples are places you need to play with to bring out the best in him.

We Encourage Fantasies

“Men want to share their fantasies but worry their wives will shame or judge them,” says Dr. Kort. Similarly, Dr. Schaefer reports that men wish women would reveal their imaginings. Want to open yourself to these possibilities? Try making a game of it. First, and most important, promise not to judge the other; then, privately write out scenarios that have tantalized you and place them in a box. When next you are intimate, pull one out. If you’re both comfortable, give it a shot. If not, Dr. Kort recommends asking a key question: What about this fantasy, do you like it? Sometimes, its themes can be addressed in different, more comfortable scenarios.

We Like It When You Talk

Talking during sex stimulates more than our ears. What kind of talk? Dirty, praising and instructive are great starts. As amusing as it may sound, a woman’s words can make a guy feel as potent and virile as a Roman gladiator, even if he’s a suburban banker.

We Need Your Honesty

Sex can solve the stresses of a relationship, but it’s often where the stresses show up. If we complain about a lack of sex (or your doing certain things only on our birthday), we may be overlooking serious issues that underpin such withholding. We need you to enlighten us. The male ego is often tied to sex, so it’s easy for us to dismiss bedroom problems as female disinterest rather than issues we have a part in. Avoiding these problems, however, only perpetuates your feeling unseen and our frustration.

We Enjoy the Dance

Men like a good quest; unfortunately, these days, there are so few. But romance earns that distinction. Allow us to court you; make us deserve your desire. Dr. Kort makes an additional point: “Emotional intimacy is about closeness, but sustaining sexual desire demands a certain amount of distance.” How do couples strike this tricky balance? By allowing each partner to have what he calls “separate sexuality”: that is, a sexual life that doesn’t include, but doesn’t betray, the other.

We Always Need It, But Not for the Reason You Think

Men are accused of being sexually insatiable, but women should rethink this. “Men see sex as a celebration,” says Dr. Schaefer. “They wish women would take more of a ‘carpe diem’ approach to it. We move through life at the speed of sound, with multiplying challenges and pressures. It’s easy to allow demands on our time and energy to rob us of the joy, pleasure and opportunity that sex affords us. On the long list of priorities, it should not be on the bottom rung.” If that doesn’t make you want to “seize the day” (or something else), consider the health benefits: Orgasms release oxytocin, which has been called the “bonding hormone,” bringing couples closer together while it alleviates anxiety and stress, reduces blood pressure and promotes healing.

See the 5 Most Under-Rated Nigerian Artistes

To say that the competition in the Nigerian music industry is stiff is stating the obvious. In an industry where new acts are discovered every other day, breaking into the music scene and making an impact could be likened to the proverbial camel passing through the eye of the needle before a rich man makes the kingdom of heaven...in other words - e no easy.

With such cut-throat competition, it goes without saying that only the ‘tough’ survive and only the ‘ordained’ make it to the very top; the top being – breaking into the Lagos market (just to be clear, Lagosremains the commercial and entertainment capital of Nigeria and only when an artiste captures this market have they truly earned bragging rights, every other area remains secondary), having a large follower-ship (online and offline), newsworthiness (bloggers must find the artiste relevant enough to stalk their every purchase and latest arm candy), a performance fee in the neighbourhood of seven figures, a few awards (home and abroad), an endorsement or two and a house in Lekki filled with enough mouth watering cars to show for the years of hustling. Only when an artiste can lay claim to all or at least majority of the above, can they be said to be at the top of the Nigerian music game.

Yes, making it in the Nigerian music industry is no walk in the park which is why more often than not, several truly talented acts get lost in the mix of things, either fading to oblivion or hovering in the almost there category – popular enough to be recognised but not quite making it to A-list.

In light of this, we count down 5 of such Nigerian artistes who for one reason or the other have failed to take their rightful place at the top of the Nigerian music game.

5. Timi Dakolo: After winning the West African Idols contest in 2007, it seemed like Timi was poised for greatness. But after months of accusations and counter-accusations of foul play with his SONY BMGcontract; one of the things he got as the Idols winner, the Bayelsa native eventually struck out on his own to build a career for himself. He eventually released his first single in 2009 and went on to win the 2010 Best Recording of the Year Headie for his single ‘Heaven Please’ and in 2012, he released his highly anticipated debut album. In all of this however, Timi has not fared well with breaking into the mainstream music market inspite of his remarkable talent. While he has a sizeable fan base and even awards to his name, Timi has failed to completely break free of his West African Idols image and cross into the big league which leads us to wonder what could be keeping such a great act from sitting atop the Nigerian R ‘n’ B scene – right beside Banky W and Dare Art-Alade ofcourse.

4.  Djinee: He first burst into our consciousness as a presenter in Soundcity but for him, music was the first passion and soon enough, he released his first single ‘Ego’ which earned him critical acclaim and a fan base. He also won the Best New Artiste at the Nigerian Entertainment Award in London as well as two nominations at the 2006 Headies. However, following a disagreement with his then record labelWestside Inc, Djinee had a lapse in releasing his debut album and eventually left the label to fully pursue his career. He followed with other singles like In 2009, he dropped the widely popular Overkillin’which temporarily returned him to the limelight. One album and a few singles later, Djinee still hovers on the edge of the music scene and although there’s been an attempt on his part to get back in the game in recent times with the release of two singles earlier this year, Djinee, in spite of his wealth of talent still largely remains an almost there.

3.Durella: When the ‘King of the Zanga’ first hit the Nigerian music scene, not a few people mixed him up with D’banj. Both artistes had an almost similar sound and energy but Durella quickly established himself as an independent artiste with his own style and sound. In 2008, he won the MTV Advance Warning contest beating Waje who came in at second place. With his catchy hooks and club bangers,Durella soon became a fixture in the Nigerian club and entertainment scene and while he has enjoyed relative success and remains one of Nigeria’s most versatile artistes, Durella has yet to make it to the big league of the Nigerian music industry.

2. Shank: Like a breath of fresh air, Shank stormed the music scene with his hit single ‘Julie’ in 2008. The song made a huge impact in the club scene and in 2009, he released his debut album with such great hit singles like ‘Never Felt This Before’ featuring D’banj and ‘Shawty’ featuring Akon. After a 2 year hiatus, he returned to the scene in 2011 with the singles ‘Salute’ and ‘Ghetto’. Though Shank has consistently delivered fresh music, he’s never quite broken into the mainstream music scene.

1. General Pipe: The Seven Star General arrived the music scene with a mission to spread thereggae/dancehall gospel, and spread the gospel he did. From his collaborations with the likes ofDagrin, MI, Sasha, Sauce Kid and Ill Bliss to name a few, to his personal tracks, General Pype shone through as a reggae/dancehall artiste to watch. In 2009, he released ‘Champion’ with a huge remix that featured several industry heavyweights including the late Da Grin, Naeto C, Sasha and Vector. The song became a street anthem of sorts and earned General Pype a huge fan base and accolades. However, after the huge success of 2009/2010 and inspite of being one of the most gifted and unique acts on the scene, General Pype has remained largely under the music radar, his ‘Give it to Me’ single of last year not withstanding.
