Does wheat and gluten cause cellulite? My take...

I have a little "newfound wisdom" to impart. I've been playing around with my diet the last couple of years--hoping to find something that helps the 40+ middle bulge that just wants to hang on no matter what I do (sound familiar?). Well, I decided to cut out wheat and therefore most sources of gluten. Now I know gluten is the "hot topic" these days and I was even checked for Celiac (don't have it). I am, however, gluten sensitive. What gluten does to me is cause bloat. This bloat, in turn, causes increased cellulite appearance. It causes me to retain fluid (I'm guessing) so therefore it's causing my skin to pucker and dimple more. When I don't eat it, my cellulite is vastly improved. I mean NOTICEABLY improved! After years of trying everything (and I do mean everything), this one simple dietary tip has helped more than anything. www.jointessential.com I will follow up with my next ezine with more tips that have worked for me.

Do you need Bridal Boot Camp?

There are so many "Bridal Boot Camps" popping up everywhere for brides to get into great shape before the big day. But is it really necessary? Here's the thing: No matter what diet comes out, what guru says what, how many trainers go on Dr. Oz to tout their new "revolutionary" program, the same things remains: It all boils down to diet and exercise. However, there is data that proves that it's not just how much you eat, but actually what you eat that will make a difference. For example, you could subsist on a donut, crackers and juice for a day or a week. But how will you look? Like crap, that's how. You'll be bloated and doughy and pasty. Look at those people you know who eat like that and check their skin. It's probably pasty and dehydrated. No fresh veg. No fresh fruit. Not enough water. It all equals NO GLOW. It's not rocket science and yes, it's hard. You have to eat to nourish or you may be thin, but you'll look awful. Y
