If you have some weight you need to lose, do it in a healthy, enjoyable and sustainable way. In the long term this will achieve the results you are after.

The long anticipated list of the 5 worst celebrity diets to avoid in the New Year has finally been released by the British Dietetic Association (BDA).

That time of the year is just around the corner. The Christmas festivities have come and gone, the New Years Eve party is just a blur, everyone in the office has a case of the post-Christmas blues, and this year, yes this year, you will get the body of your dreams! But how?

Yes, January signals a UK-wide dieting frenzy. However, with so many diet books and celebrity-endorsed fitness DVDs on the market, whos cashing in and whos worth checking out?

The BDA receives literally hundreds of calls from the media every year on this subject and they come across a huge range of weird and whacky diets and diet claims.

Based on telephone call volume and other contributing factors, here are the top 5 dodgy celeb diets to avoid in 2015.

5. The Baby Food Diet

Celebrity Fans: Lady Ga Ga, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston are reportedly fans of this diet.

Whats it all about?

This diet calls for eating just up to 14 jars of pureed food or baby food every day or mostly pureed food or baby food and one adult meal or pureed food or baby food instead of snacks.

BDA Verdict: The Ga Ga should be for babies only! This diet works on portion control and guess what? Yes, restricted calories, as a jar of baby food has very few. Although fruit and veg are included they are pureed so have much less fibre and texture. Chewing food is associated with feelings of fullness and satiety, so reach for an apple or a carrot rather than a jar. Also, how anti-social would you be whipping out your jars of baby food and a top restaurant?

4. Raw Food Diet

Celebrity Fans: Demi Moore, Natalie Portman and Woody Harrelson are reportedly fans of this diet.

Whats it all about?

Its the practise of eating raw uncooked food and non-pasteurised/non-homogenised dairy products. This diet can be used by vegans and meat eaters.

BDA Verdict: This hits a raw nerve! A raw diet can be low in fat and calories but can also be low in calcium, vitamin D, iron, zinc, and protein. Many foods can only be eaten cooked, like rice, pasta, bread, potatoes, beans and pulses, so these are excluded. The diet is unsuitable for pregnant women, children and other at risk groups. In fact some foods are more nutritious if cooked, like carrots and tomatoes. This diet is time consuming, socially isolating and youll have an awful lot of chewing to do. For those who use meat in a raw diet, they put themselves at risk of food poisoning and gastroenteritis.

3. Blood Group Diet

Celebrity Fans: Cheryl Cole, Sir Cliff Richard and Courtney Cox-Arquette are reportedly fans of this diet.

Whats it all about?

This diet is completely based on pseudo-science. It claims that different nutrients are broken down in the body based on the bodys blood type.

Blood Group A No dairy products allowed and a vegetarian-based diet.

Blood Group B A more varied intake of food and the only blood group able to manage dairy products.

Blood Group AB Combination of diets A and B (confused yet? Yes or no to dairy?)

Blood Group O High meat intake, no dairy, no wheat, no grains (think Atkins).

BDA Verdict: Blood and sweat wont make this work! Cutting out food groups is never a good idea (unless medically advised to do so and with help making substitutions from a Dietitian). This diet could lead to significant deficiencies such as calcium. You lose weight on this diet because your calorie intake is very restricted and this diet is not sustainable in the long term.

2. Alcorexia / Drunkorexia Diet

Celebrity Fans: It is widely thought that many top models and other celebrities are fans of this diet.

Whats it all about?

Its when people eat very few calories during the day/week and think they can save all the calories they have not eaten then use them to binge drink alcohol.

For example, if you favour a VLC diet (very low calorie) to follow the Alcorexia Diet, you could be banking around 1,500 calories a day, which then gives you 10,500 calories to drink during the week. This amounts to:

45 pints of lager (based on a single pint being around 230 kcals). With a pint of lager being 2 units, this gives you a weekly alcohol intake of 90 units.

201 shots of spirits (based on a single shot being around 52 kcals). With a single shot of spirit being 1 unit, this gives you a weekly alcohol intake of 201 units.

52 alcopops (based on a single alcopop being around 200 kcals). With a single alcopop being 1 unit, this gives you a weekly alcohol intake of 52 units.

131 glasses of red wine, or 26 bottles (based on a glass of red being around 80 kcals). With a single glass being 1 unit, this gives you a weekly alcohol intake of 131 units).

To put this in context, the safe weekly alcohol unit intake is 28 units for men and 21 units for women. BDA Verdict: You must be blind drunk! Following a VLC diet alone is madness, as you will most certainly not be getting the calories, vitamins and nutrients your body needs to survive and function. In addition, you will feel weak, tired have no energy and will become very irritable very soon. Alcohol has little nutrition other than calories. To do this in order to bank your calories so you can go a use them on alcohol is pure madness and could easily result in alcohol poisoning and even death. The BDA has received a significant increase in media calls about this diet and it is a worrying trend.

1. Dukan Diet

Celebrity Fans: The Duchess of Cambridge (and her mother Carole Middleton), Jennifer Lopez and Gisele Bundchen are reportedly fans of this diet.

Whats it all about?

A complicated four-phase diet that starts off with a protein only approach that promotes weight loss of around 7lb per week.

BDA Verdict: The Dukant Diet is Offal! There is absolutely no solid science behind this at all. This works on restricting foods, calories and portion control again. Once again, cutting out food groups is not advisable. This diet is so confusing, very rigid, full of very French foods that most Brits would run a mile from like rabbit and offal, and even Dr Dukan himself warns of the associated problems like lack of energy, constipation and bad breath lovely!

Speaking about these and other fad diets, Sian Porter, consultant dietitian and Spokesperson for the BDA, said:

Sadly, there is no magic wand you can wave. There is no wonder diet you can follow without some nutritional or health risk and most are offering a short-term fix to a long term problem. It may be obvious, but if you want to lose weight you need to eat a nutritionally balanced and varied diet with appropriately sized portions and burn off more calories than you consume. In short speak, eat fewer calories, make better choices and move a bit more!

Available as both a salon treatment and homecare treatment, Bioslimming by Provence Cosmetics is a new body treatment which targets cellulite and fat, and enhances weight loss.

This fast acting cellulite treatment contains active ingredients which have been proven to have an impact on cellulite, on clinical trials the appearance of cellulite diminished by 47% from the first treatment and reduced by up to 67% in 4 weeks following regular salon treatments and the use of the homecare products – Bioslimming Trio.

This advanced treatment tackles cellulite by stimulating the blood circulation and also increases the peripheral circulation; it also acts to pull out the fluid between the cells as well as impacting on collagen production which further aides in the fight against cellulite. It enhances the removal of toxins and actively breaks down the build up of the fatty deposits responsible for cellulite. It attacks cellulite by tackling the problem where it exists – just beneath your skin. This effectively reduces the appearance of stubborn cellulite, to leave your skin smooth, firm and noticeably toned.

Bioslimming’s powerful active ingredients induce Lipolysis (fat burning under the skin) helping to get rid of fatty deposits, it enhance weight loss, reduces appearance of stretch marks, varicose veins & spider veins. Bioslimming also provides a whole host of additional benefits which are derived from the active ingredients.

Following application, Bioslimming continues to work for 12 hours and increases the body’s consumption of calories, therefore increasing the slimming and firming effect and further reducing cellulite inches.

Unlike traditional wraps you do not require to be wrapped in bandages and it is really more of a massage treatment, which makes it a very pleasant treatment to have. The massage helps in the fight against cellulite and fat as the massage helps to further break down the fatty deposits and increases the lymphatic system helping to remove toxins.

Obesity is costing the country millions every year in healthcare, transport and benefits. As a country we are waking up to the fact that we need to tackle to problem head-on, as otherwise the percentage of obese individuals in the UK will keep on increasing. The industry is desperately trying to reverse the obesity epidemic sweeping the UK, and the world, with GPs prescribing almost 1.5 million weight loss pills each year.

Weight loss Meratol, is clinically proven to work and is an effective pill to lose weight, get fit, and become healthier without the need for a prescription. After phenomenal success in America with celebrity fans including Courtney Cox, Eva Longoria, George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio, advance orders totalled over 30,000 for the UK when it launched at the beginning of the year.

It is now launched into Boots and Lloyds stores nationwide so that more of the ever-expanding population can get their hands on the all-natural wonder pill. With summer fast approaching, Bank Holiday time off, people are now beginning to start thinking seriously about their weight loss plans. The makers of Meratol have seen a 200% increase in sales since their launch in January.

A spokesperson for the weight loss aid said: “Meratol is the most effective way to combat the flab without needing to see your GP, and as it is 100% natural there are absolutely no side-effects.

“Meratol can help you start taking responsibility for your weight and fitness without the need for a fad diet or rigorous gym routine, which means people are more likely to stick to it. We have found that 82% of people give up their summer diets by mid-June when they get bored of their regime and believe it is too late to achieve good results. With Meratol you can shed between 3-5 lbs a week, and burn up to 310 calories just sitting at your desk!”

No other weight loss pill includes the same powerful combination of extracts to target weight loss using a 4-tier system approach that focuses on the before, during and after stages of losing weight. It is four times as effective as other diet pills as it increases your metabolism, reduces calorie intake, blocks carbohydrates and burns up to 12 x more calories all at once, giving you immediate weight loss.

Meratol is available online, and from Boots and Lloyds pharmacies at 29.99 for a month’s supply.

Natural beauty, good metabolism and good figure are all linked to general health.
Herbal Medicine has existed since the beginning of humanity. It has passed the test of time with thousands of years of history of successful application. Scientific Phytotherapy, also known as Phytotherapy is modern herbal medicine at its best. Plants find their real place after strict laboratory assessment of their active ingredients as well as clinical tests.

Slim Pam is an effective slimming treatment regulating metabolism, digestion, constipation and the cardio-vascular system with long-lasting results. It is based on natural herbal ingredients and research. The result is that 2 to 3 kg (4 to 7 lbs) of fat are lost per month in a natural way without exhausting diets. Many people who visit Dr. Pamukoff found that diet and exercise do not help them to lose weight despite body building regimes.

Dr. Pamukof takes the regulation of metabolism very seriously after his long research. For that reason his product is with proven effectiveness. He only offers Slim Pam in his clinics or together with approved practitioners. In UK Dr. Pamukoff partners with the celebrity practitioner Katherine Jackson who is featured in high profile magazines such as Vogue and Elle.

Losing weight more rapidly can be achieved but is not advisable as otherwise the skin may not adapt to your new shape. The effective treatment is among the most popular slimming methods in the sunny climates of South – Eastern Europe where in most parts of the year women and men wear summer clothes. His clients look great and the result is long-lasting.

Dr. Pamukoff, MD, is internationally renowned as one of the founders of Scientific Phytotherapy. This is a medical discipline that examines the components of healing herbs and their remedial effect using modern research methods. He has worked with medicinal plants since 1942. Dr. Pamukoff has won many awards including the award of the State Administration for Traditional Chinese Medicine, granted to very few leading scientists outside of China for their exceptional contribution to the advancement of natural medicine.

Many celebrities have been treated in the clinic of Dr. Pamukoff – actors, singers, writers, scientists as well as politicians. Over 540,000 patients from all over the world have been cured in his Scientific Phytotherapy Clinic with herbal remedies. Dr. Pamukoff has been so popular and successful that in 1972 he established one of the first Phytotherapy practices in Europe that has been officially working for a Ministry of Health and that became one of the pioneering and leading natural clinics worldwide. More than 2 million copies of his books have been printed in several languages and his most famous books are entitled Nature’s Pharmacy, first edition in 1981. His other best-seller concentrates on specific herbal remedies that are important for women in their every day life and it is called ‘Herbs for the Woman and the Child’, first published in 1996. A section devoted to the scientific work of Dr. Pamukoff and the Scientific Phytotherapy Clinic is written in the historic book ”Green Pharmacy” (London 1981) by Barbara Griggs.

Why has the use of scientifically researched medicinal plants had a positive impact on people’s lifestyles and beauty?

Contemporary women and men are exposed to stress, unhealthy food, hectic lifestyle and chemical pollution. Those affect your metabolism, energy levels and natural beauty. Phytotherapy researches the secrets of the medicinal plants and can help to regulate body processes and it should be applied properly in order to be effective. There are around 60 chemical components that are found in the human body. They contribute to the normal work of all systems. When a substance made of a whole medicinal plant is used, the human body receives many beneficial microelements and biological substances. The human organism easily and naturally absorbs these ingredients. Herbs have a medicinal effect as well as a general fortifying effect.

Dr. Pamukoff has found that one of the main causes of weight gain is exhausting dieting. Dieting makes you fat. Many people get more overweight after diets that force them to starve. After they start eating normally they become more overweight than before going on diet. This is because as you reduce your food intake to lose weight, your body put itself on ‘famine alert’. It gets the impression that food is scarce and therefore it slows down your metabolism to get the best use of the small amount of food it is receiving. When you say you want to lose weight, what you actually want to lose is fat. If you lose weight rapidly, almost 25 percent of that weight loss can be made up of water, muscle and other lean tissue.

The reason for this is that your body is actually programmed to hold on to fat. So in times of what your body considers to be a ‘famine’, it will actually go as far as breaking down muscle and losing water in order to hold on to its fat reserves. Faddy diets suggest that you can lose up to 10 pounds in a week, but remember this: it is physically impossible to lose more than 900g (2lb) of body fat in a week.

Furthermore, if you lose weight quickly by restricting your intake and then go back to eating normally, a much higher percentage of the food you eat is laid down as fat. Why? Because your body wants to build up extra fat stores, in case this type of famine occurs again. There’s also the question of metabolism. When you crash diet, your metabolism slows down to conserve energy and make the most out of the small amounts you are eating. What happens when you go back to eating normally? Well, everything you eat is being dealt with at a much slower rate and more fat is stored. You should eat normally balanced food. In addition, the scientifically researched plants in the SLIM PAM treatment can help you to get the ingredients that you need to balance your metabolism and be fit.

Boost your weight loss programme with Trim-right. Natural and safe, the unique combination of ingredients in Trim-right helps suppress appetite and boost energy.

Key ingredients:

Guarana – Guarana is a shrub or small tree native to Venezuela and northern Brazil. The seed of the Guaran fruit is a stimulant with thermo-genic and diuretic properties. In a study published in the June 2001 issue of the Journal of Human Nutrition, guarana extract induced weight loss over 45 days in overweight patients taking a mixed herbal preparation containing yerbe mate, guarana, and damiana. Body weight reductions averaged 11.22 pounds in the guarana group compared to less than one pound in the placebo group after 45 days.

Capsicum – Capsicum Extract, can act as an appetite suppressor and also raise the metabolic rate, burn excess calories, reduce body mass and reduce body fat. Many of the clinical tests suggest that capsicum raises the metabolic rate and is effective in burning the bodies fat. This has many implications for people with obesity problems. Early indications also show that capsicum slows the absorption of fat in the small intestine. According to a study conducted by the Department of Human Biology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, capsaicin was able to improve weight loss results when compared to a placebo.

Green Tea Extract – It has been know for centuries that Green Tea has many benefits. The Green Tea extract in Trim-right, contains polyphenols and catechins, the most important of them being epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG. A study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition by Thielecke and others suggested that EGCG might also prevent the development of fat cells and reduce absorption of fats while increasing utilization of fat for energy production. The study demonstrated that a low dose EGCG, could cause a 33% increase in fat oxidation during the two hours after a meal. A combination of EGCG and caffeine, as found in green tea extract, caused greater increase in fat burning. While other trials have also shown that there is a reduction of body fat with green tea extract and its catechin content, Dullo and others found that it actually boosts metabolism by about 4%..

Apple cider Vinegar – The nutrients, enzymes, and organic acids in apple cider vinegar supports weight reduction by; acting as an appetite suppressant, increasing the body’s metabolic rate, reducing water retention, thus helping, you maintain a feeling of well being.
A report in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed that not only does Apple Cider Vinegar help to control blood sugar and insulin levels following a carbohydrate-rich meal, it also helps to create a feeling of fullness.

Trim-right is 100% natural and is made using only the highest quality ingredients. It is manufactured in the UK in a GMP accredited factory.

Coronation Street star Debbie Rush, 44, is wowing the nation with her amazing new look. Only a few months ago she was dressed in baggy cardies and tracksuit pants, just like her soap character. Life imitated art and by July, 5 foot 1 inch Anna rolled in at over eleven stone and a size 16.

Coronation Street star Debbie Rush has dropped 4 dress sizes from a size 16 to a size 8 in four and a half months. Now you can achieve amazing results too by following Debbie’s fitness routine and her brand new fitness DVD – Debbie Rush’s Bulge Buster Workout.

Debbie, who plays Roy’s Rolls worker Anna Windass said: “After seeing some awful photos of my bulging and bloated figure I knew I’d really let myself go, I was so ashamed of my belly. I was in tears. It was so big I couldn’t see my feet and being short in height I was turning into a little barrel! I knew I had to do something about it. Once I put my mind to changing the way I looked and found a routine I could do at home which I loved, it was surprisingly easy to get my figure back. Now I want to share my exercise secrets and show other real women just like me how to blitz away their body bulge! This workout can help you wear the clothes you really want, with results that last.”

Debbie admits she let the pounds creep on over the past few years, leaving her horrified and depressed at how much weight she had gained. After seeing some disturbing paparazzi shots of her jelly belly this summer, the mum-of-three ditched the pounds by exercising for the very first time in her life and giving her diet a complete overhaul.

Debbie says “I turned to athlete Andy Titterall (an ex-rugby international) who’s an expert on sports science, to show me a routine I could do on my own at home. I decided to go down this route because you never see an untoned or overweight athlete. I’ve been doing my workout three times a week for over four months now, and the weight has really dropped off. I’m confident it will stay off too because I’ve been slimming down over a sensible, steady period.

“I’ve been using a simple no-nonsense mix of cardio and body weight exercises like ‘the plank’ and press ups that really work. I’ve also tackled my eating habits and ditched Corrie’s gorgeous canteen cooking – no more Hot Pots for me! I’ve swapped chocolate, chips with curry sauce and desserts for healthier veggie crudits or olives, and I’m eating smaller portions. I’ve also swapped beer for vodka and slimline tonic when I go out.”

Debbie has documented her dramatic transformation in Debbie’s Bulge Buster Workout DVD.

There are 7 sections to the workout: it is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels who would like to follow a focused workout routine that can deliver long term weight loss.

The winter party season is nearly upon us and, this year, you can have your cake and eat it without worrying about ‘a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.’

Club Cleo, the brand name behind home-use natural health and beauty treatments, recommends the celebrity-style 1-hour inch loss and detox body wrap kit, backed up by extensive consumer trials. This favourite of beauty spas and salons is now available as a home kit. The wrap instantly draws toxins out of the body, leaving you visibly slimmer, firmer and smoother. It’s not a water wrap, so you won’t regain the inches when you drink fluids… so cocktails all round!

Thanks to the properties of its unique, new-and-improved sea clay formulation, the detox body wrap is kind to skin, visibly re-shaping and tightening loose skin, as well as promoting all-important instant inch loss. It can also help visibly reduce the appearance of stretch marks and unsightly cellulite.

Janine Kay, Managing Director of Club Cleo, said: “The great thing about this natural body wrap is its flexibility – you can apply it directly to the part of your body you’re most concerned about. It’s perfect for all those classic problem areas – the stomach, hips, thighs, waist, upper arms – in fact anywhere you can think of. What’s more, it leaves skin feeling fantastically smooth, toned and sculpted.”

The compact easy-to-use kit, which contains naturally sourced seabed clay and high compression bandages, works by drawing out the toxins which live in and around fat cells, through the pores of the skin and can help you lose up to 6 inches in one session. Available in four essences, the body wrap itself acts like a giant poultice drawing impurities out of the body; further toxins continue to be flushed away, even after the treatment is complete.

The detox body wrap is not a water loss wrap: the results are measured in inches not weight, so there is no need to worry about dramatic weight fluctuations that water wraps can sometimes cause. In fact, the more water you drink the better, prolonging the treatment to maximise results.

Club Cleo also stocks an extensive range of health and beauty products including pamper packs, natural breast enhancement supplements, an intimate care range, perfumes, and health and beauty accessories.

In an effort to better understand the obesity epidemic, Salter has commissioned a survey of over 2,000 British men and women asking questions about weight and the psychological effects of being overweight. The results revealed that the British public are in denial about their real size and will go to extreme lengths to avoid facing up to their true weight. Over 41% of people polled admit to taking their clothes off before they weigh themselves, while over 30% of those polled avoid weighing themselves completely if they suspected they had put on weight.

Despite the fact that almost 59% of the people surveyed describe themselves as overweight, of these, 28.5% of people only weigh themselves every six months, making weight maintenance and monitoring difficult. Not only do we not want to know the truth of our own weight, but according to the Salter survey, over a quarter of people lie about their weight to others and 16% of us lie when asked what clothing size we take.

Despite the worrying statistics about the weight of the Nation, survey results were clear that overweight Brits do want to make a change for the better. 32% of people who describe themselves as being overweight say they would like to lose weight so that they can have a better figure and feel more attractive, while 52.8% of people admit to holding on to their ‘slim clothes’ in the hope they’ll lose weight.

With a range of advanced analyser scales and housewares for a healthy lifestyle, Salter products give a complete view of health and weight beyond the sometimes-scary number on the bathroom scale. Analysing body fat, percentage water, percentage muscle mass, visceral fat, BMI and BMR, the Salter range of precision scales can help monitor weight-loss progress and evaluate health indicators, helping to simplify a slimming routine, and give the 32% of dieters seeking a change the support they need.

Salter will celebrate 250 years of precision technology in 2010. Providing bathroom scales to the masses throughout the years of feast and famine, Salter scales have accommodated fluctuations in the populations body size over the last 250 years, innovating new products to fit the lifestyles and girths of the expanding British population.

The full Provence Cosmetics range, including the Skincare, Bioslimming and Bodypro50 ice flow gel, will be launched at Olympia Beauty London.

Provence Cosmetics are a fresh, innovative and relatively young cosmetics company from the Provence Region in South France. Flora Vergnolle, the owner of the company has in the past few years developed a range of sensational products with which they directly targeted the American market based in Beverly Hills. Provence have caused quite a stir with their flagship products – 3D Gommage, Bioslimming, Biosublime Skin Care and Bodypro50 ice flow gel.

Earlier this year, following impressive results using Bioslimming and Provence Skin Care products in their own salon, Marion & Ian Cadwell of Ayrshire, Scotland approached the company with a view to obtaining rights to distribute the products in the UK and were given the sole distribution rights to the UK and Northern Ireland. Bioslimming made its debut at Scottish Beauty Show in May of this year and received a very warm welcome from salon owners across Scotland and North of England. Since that time the number of salons has grown to encompass salons across middle and southern England.

Unlike many other treatments and products that are available on the market, that tackle a specific complaint or problem, Bioslimming successfully tackles a whole range of issues:-
- It detoxes
- It slims, firms and tones
- Reduces the appearance of cellulite
- Tackles stubborn fat deposits
- It induces Lipolysis
- Burns calories for 2 hours after application
- Continues the slimming effect for 12 hours after application
- Reduces inches
- Helps reduce appetite, enhances weight loss
- Reduces appearance of stretch marks, varicose veins & spider veins
- If applied prior to exercise it enhances the workout and aids muscle recovery

The integrity of the products is paramount and Provence is proud of the high quality and level of active ingredients used within their products making them some of the strongest Professional products available. Bioslimming contains high levels of essential oils, plant & algae extracts, caffeine and thermo agents both hot and cold which is revolutionary. The Thermo-Agents stimulate the lymphatic system and help burn fat through Thermo-regulation and induces Lipolysis (fat burning below skin’s surface) helping to fight rebel fat deposits and eliminating toxins.

The subsequent absorption of fatty acids and transportation of fat causes the “orange peel” roughness to disappear, dramatically reducing the appearance of cellulite and reducing adipose tissue. Cellulite is further tackled by the high levels of Caffeine which have been proven to dramatically reduce the appearance of cellulite making this product extremely effective in the battle against cellulite.

Provence Cosmetics are exclusive to professional therapists Salons and spas. Provence offer a new concept in skin care, based on high quality and fast results using natural active ingredients. Provence offer technologically advanced professional spa treatments for salon owners, therapists and their clients.

Ever conscious of the challenges in running a beauty business Flora Vergnolle wants to provide specialists/therapists with the best products possible combining the best from science and nature and believes that this has been achieved in the Provence range.

Provence places a high level of importance in its relationships with beauty professionals and their clients and strive to guarantee 100% product satisfaction. All therapists are thoroughly trained in the technical aspects of the products so that they can best understand their use and maximise their effects. All Provence products are tested on groups of volunteers in order to determine not only their exact effects but also to obtain feedback from users.

For each product a detailed treatment method is developed and presented by specialists, in order to obtain the optimum cohesion between the product and the manual techniques of application.

Thanks to these principals – the Provence laboratory develops products which they feel are completely unique and without comparison on the market.

Flora Vergnolle believes that from a woman’s point of view she understands what is important to women in relation to their use of beauty products. In a world where the pressures on the modern woman are greater than ever Flora believes that it is extremely important, that women can feel good about their appearance and aims to create products that produce positive differences from first use onward.

“Being a woman I understand how important it is for a woman to feel good and stay beautiful especially nowadays when women have both hectic home lives and careers, and I always try to bring to the market products that focus on results so that a difference can be seen after the very first use of the product. Knowing how hard is it to run a business I want to help spa owners have the best products that can make a difference in their businesses” says Flora

Marion Cadwell started her career as a Nurse and then a Midwife and became interested in beauty and holistic therapy almost 14 years ago when she set up Westfield and things have just developed since then. She says “these are some of the most exciting products that I have used in my time in the beauty industry, due to my back ground in health care I am very results driven and these products certainly deliver all that they promise and more. The results that we have been achieving in the salon definitely have to be seen to be believed and my client base has increased dramatically since taking on these products.

Imagine being able to complete a total body firming workout that targets all your trouble zones and burns a wheelie-bin full of calories, but in a fraction of the usual time required. It might sound too good to be true but Dean Hodgkin has cracked it in his latest DVD, The Express Workout, with his revolutionary method of stacking exercises.

Most of us are on the lookout for new, effective ways to tighten up a particular problem area or shift a pound or two, especially at this time of year, when the thought of squeezing into a bikini and baring all on the beach brings us out in a cold sweat. However, time isnt generally on our side, with the recent Health and Fitness Ombudsman Survey confirming this is the biggest barrier to us achieving our shape-up goals.

By stacking, or combining exercises its possible to target three or even four body parts in a single movement, so dramatically cutting the time it takes to perform an all-over sculpting routine. This unique workout will push your body to the edge in only 8 exercises, but that is the key to its success in guaranteeing results – its all about the intensity. So get ready to dig deep, keeping in mind that it only takes around 30 minutes and the results will be well worth the toil, as this year you’ll hit the beach turning heads and not stomachs!

If youre looking to shed your winter layers before your holiday in double-quick time, dont miss this high speed train.

THE EXPRESS WORKOUT is priced at 9-99
