Fashion isn't just for Skinny People

Fall Fashion from repparttar Avenue.com in sizes 14-32.

Fashion is not just for skinny people. The fashion caste system that separated people into “those who can” (skinny and rich) and “those who can’t” (everyone else) created by snobby designers and power hungry fashion editors (who, by repparttar 130464 way, are often plus sized themselves) is crumbling and a fashion utopia is emerging where fashionistas can look fabulous regardless of size. Take that Kate Moss!

The Rules

Now, there are few rules you need to follow in order to stay in fashion. In this diet-obsessed, waif-model culture, designers still gear their creations towards a size four (shout out to all of repparttar 130465 skinny fashionistas- we love you too!) and their version of plus size is to just make a bigger size four. Commit these size rules to heart and watch your style quotient rise. 1. Dress monochromatically. Dressing in one color de-emphasizes your problem areas by creating one long silhouette.

2. Break out repparttar 130466 Heels. Heels elongate your legs, making you look slimmer in repparttar 130467 process. Stores like Zappos.comhave a huge selection of pumps and heels.

3. Low-rise is not an option. Very few people, regardless of size, can wear low-rise pants. Just because it is in style, doesn’t mean it will work for you.

4. Avoid crop jackets. Crop jackets draw attention to your waist and butt. Purchase well structured jackets that hit you right below your bottom. This season, tweed is very hot, so pick up a cute tweed or velvet jacket. Check out Loehmanns@smartbargains.com

5. Please don’t abuse repparttar 130468 Lycra. Lycra is a privilege, not a fashion right.

6. Purchase boot cut pants. One of repparttar 130469 season’s biggest trends is repparttar 130470 pencil leg pant, which emphasize big butts. Stick with pants that have a slight flare at repparttar 130471 bottom, to create a more balanced look. Again, tryLoehmanns@smartbargains.com

7. Find a great tailor. Don’t throw out those great fitting pants because they are too long. A great tailor will be able to hem repparttar 130472 pants to your desired length for less than $20.

Ancient Olympians Followed Atkins Diet

Written by Dana Scripca

Atkins diet was unknown 35 years ago. Though it seems that ancient people - athletes particularly - followed a strict diet which is likewise Atkins basic. Strict diet and severe exercises for Ancient Greeks

Long before dr Atkins finished his theory about ketosis and established his famous diet, ancient people had undertaken it, without any clue at all. Not only they were eating Atkins-style, but also they were strongly practicing regular exercise, as dr Atkins now recommends. Ancient Greeks spent a lot of time educating their bodies. Gymnastic exercises were very appreciated, children were trained and directed to follow a daily training program. After years of strict diet and heavy gymnastics, Greeks finally admitted that "too much and too strict" is not good for health, because this regimen exhausted repparttar human constitution. Greek Olympians followed meat-only diet

In fact, we talk about Greek people who ate fruits, vegetables, a lot of fish, breads. This was a regular eating regimen for ordinary Greeks, with repparttar 130461 amendment that fish was repparttar 130462 most common meat eaten in that seafaring region. Quite interesting is repparttar 130463 fact that Greek olympians had a bit different eating regimen, a meat-heavy regimen, like repparttar 130464 low-carb Atkins's (not so refined, of course, no phases at all). The goal was to develop a lot of muscles and meat was enormously necessary. But not any Greek could daily afford meat on repparttar 130465 table. Only upper social strata from Greece could afford it. The olympians also ate more rich-protein legumes which their bodies needed to keep a boost of energy.
