LOSING WEIGHT

Health Warning - Rapid weight loss may cause serious health problems. (Rapid weight loss is a loss of more than 1kg per week or 1% of body weight after the third week of a weight loss program) If you are on medication or being treated for an illness it is advisable that you contact your Doctor before commencing any weight loss program.

How quickly should I lose weight?

Aim for a steady weight loss on average - 1% of your total body weight per week is a good guide. Set yourself a goal and don't weigh yourself each day. Once a week is sufficient. Concentrate on eating well and being active rather than watching the scales.

Trim-A-Weigh's meal plan is deigned to achieve this rate of weight loss for most people

Regular meals
Why it is important to eat regular meals?
Eating regular meals maintains a healthy metabolic rate which gives you more energy and helps sustain your weight loss in the long term.
No matter how busy you are, don't skip meals. Trim-A-Weigh has the meal plan to suit you

Exercise
Do I need to exercise?
Healthy eating and regular exercise go hand in hand. Weight loss is more successful and sustainable if you increase your activity levels.
Regular exercise makes you feel good, can improve body shape and can assist in long term weight management and good health.

SET YOURSELF A REGULAR EXERCISE PROGRAM. 30 MINUTES OF ACTIVITY OVER A DAY IS IDEAL

e.g. walking, swimming, aerobic or floor exercises will all add to your general well-being.

How to Have a Divine Love Life:With or Without a Partner!

By Internationally Recognised Sacred Love Healer from Sedona USA Baba Dez Nichols

Every woman deserves to have a great love life, whether or not she's got a man at the moment. Your body is a temple, and the goddess must be regularly worshiped.

Every man deserves to find his inner god, whether or not there's a goddess around to awaken him.

For thousands of years, in the ancient temples, women learned the sacred tantric healing arts. They were taught how to open their hearts, fine tune their bodies, and tap directly into the divine feminine power that created the universe.

They were assisted by priests trained in the arts of love magic. When the power of love union was put into the service of the gods, peace reigned on earth.

Where is that knowledge now? Where are the priests and priestesses who have the keys to the power and wisdom that are locked in our bodies?

The art of Tantra reveals this truth about each of us: we are gods and goddesses. Tantra empowers us to feel, find and proclaim our own divine power.

We don't need a partner to activate or access the wellsprings inside us. Tantra can show us how to tap into our own emotional and physical chemistry to create alchemy and magic.

"Relationships of Love, Freedom and Power" with Baba Dez and Maya from Sedona USA will be held in Bardon Brisbane. Evening seminars ($25) are on the 13th and 14th of April and the Weekend Workshop on the 15th and 16th of April. For bookings and further information call Natasha at Infinicity 1300 553 069 or 0412 095 235 or email natasha@infinicity.com.au

The Float Centre:Clear Headed, Physically Relaxed & Refreshed!

WHY FLOAT?
So you can eliminate stress, tension & muscle in a simple effortless way.....by floating. "Floating compensates for lack of sleep ... 2 hours in a Float Tank can be more restful & restorative than a full night of sound sleep" Floating is successfully used by athletes to improve performance signficantly & to speed recovery.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
A floatation tank is a special lightweight floatarium designed to remove the effect of gravity. No Noise, No Light, No Feeling of Weight. Entry to the tank is through a light sliding door which you can close or leave partly or completely open. Once inside the tank you rest upon an extremely dense solution of sterile warm water and Epsom salts - a velvety mixture just 10 inches deep,yet so tremendously buoyant, you have no choice but to float - you cannot sink. During this process your muscles relax to a degree not possible under any other circumstance & relief flows through your entire body. Throughout this process stress, tension & fatigue are rapidly released. The benefits include feeling calm & clear headed, physically relaxed & refreshed.

AFTERWARDS You will feel so calm & contented you won't feel like rushing back to the real world straight away. Allow yourself an extra 10 minutes to sit & enjoy the experience in our lounge.

REASSURING FACTS
Complete Privacy is assured. You float in your own private Float room, in your own tank. You are in total control of this tank and can leave it at anytime you like during the float. Floating in a tank does not feel claustophobic. Tanks are very roomy, lightweight & well-ventilated. The door of the tank can be left open while you're getting used to the process & a soft light may also be left on if you are not comfortable with total darkness. Rest assured you will feel perfectly comfortable.

SAFE & HYGIENIC
The high salt concentration in the tank makes the water so dense it's like the DEAD SEA and anyone, no matter how heavy they are, will float. The salt content also keeps the water sterile, along with an automatic filtration cycle after each session.

FLOATAGE
Our most popular product is a "FLOATAGE" a combination of a Float & a Massage. A floatage combines either a 1/2 hour or a 1 hour massage with a regular 50 minute float. A Floatage can be described as a mini holiday - two hours of pure relaxation and recuperation.

INTRODUCTORY OFFER

1 hour float session $25.00. valid Monday - Friday 9am - 3pm

New Skin Care for Men - Thalgomen :with Belle Affair Skin Therapy & Day Spa!



A specific skin care line and salon treatment for male skin.

The different characteristics between men's and women's skin are mainly due to physiological factors. Testosterone, the androgen hormone causes differences in the structure and behaviour of the skin.

How does testosterone affect men's skin?

Key Factors are:

1.More hair

2.Thicker skin (by about 24%) leading to: slower skin ageing but deeper wrinkles natural higher presence of collagen (+22%) which increases skin resistance superior vascularisation

3.Higher activity of the sebaceous glands (sebum secretion) which encourages hair growth by lubrication:

. the skin is shinier

. the skin is more subject to dilated pores

. the skin is prone to acne

4.Higher activity of the sweat glands which can lead to unpleasant odours

Shaving:
Shaving is a true ritual for men that is often a daily action. it is often seen as a chore. The skin becomes irritated by the friction of the razor and the frequent use of soap to cleanse the face can have a drying effect.

What are the consequences of shaving? Manual shaving is harsher on the skin than electric shaving. In both cases, the skin is irritated, but the friction of the razor and the use of "soap"causes a series of reactions:

. Breakdown of oil/moisture film on the skin's surface

. Reduction of oil content on the surface, causing dehydration

. Risk of cuts and abrasions

Most men still do not use adapted after-shave products. This means that the skin has difficulty overcoming the harshness of shaving, which in time leads to skin sensitivity.

The Thalgomen skin care line and salon treatments can improve your skin!


lgomen Skin Care Line includes:

. Cleansing Gel Facial Scrub

. After Shave Balm

. Intense Hydrating Gel

. Regenerating Cream

. Anti-Shine Fluid

. Anti-Fatigue Serum for Eyes

Short and Sweet: Coconut Prawn Cakes!

Many indigenous people of the world eat insects as their best source of fat soluble vitamins, minerals and to a lesser degree, protein. While we may be a little too squeamish for this, we can always eat the insects of the sea, prawns. Prawns contain more Vitamin D than liver, protecting us against skeletal ailments such as osteoporosis and other disease states associated with Vitamin D deficiency like MS or Colon Cancer..more

For a Good Cause: Why Support The Wilderness Society?

It was 25 years ago that Australians came together and fought for the protection of the Franklin River in Tasmania from a massive hydroelectric dam. This is when The Wilderness Society was formed and 25 years later with the help and support of thousands of volunteers we still have a campaign center in every state. Queensland campaign center for the Wilderness Society is currently running a number of campaigns including: The protection of Wild Rivers in Queensland, Cape York Peninsula, Landclearing (of which Queensland is the highest clearer in the nation) and Indigenous partnerships in joint management national Parks. The Wilderness Society is an independent, self-funded, non-profit, community-based organisation that relies heavily upon volunteer activists. Our Queensland campaign center essential funding is derived from membership fees, donations and bequests and from community activities such as raffles The best way to support our campaigns to protect Australia's wild places and endangered plant and animal species is to become a Wilderness Defender member
