Weight Gain Tips

Today I'd like to share three helpful tips on how to gain weight that I learned from a bodybuilder friend named Anthony Ellis...

• To gain weight you must eat more calories than your body burns off, so EAT MORE! The most important thing that I cannot stress too much is that you need to eat to gain weight. You need to eat like you've never eaten before. (But not junk food like donuts and chips or candy.) In other words, you need a weight gain diet.
  
  
• Start eating six meals per day (space them out to about once every three hours). This is a weight gain diet used by those who know what they're doing.
  
  
• Increase your protein intake and reduce your simple carbohydrate intake. Without protein your body cannot build new muscle.

Anthony has a lot more to reveal about how to gain weight in an excellent article on my website. Click here to read that article right now.

Oily Skin Tip

Got oily skin?

Well, let's start this week with a natural skin care tip that'll help you sop up your excess oil.

This is so easy, you're hardly going to believe it...

Rub a crisp lettuce leaf directly on your skin to help combat the greasies. You can also use fresh lettuce juice on your face or pour some into your bath.

Lettuce juice also works well to sooth irritated and sunburned skin.

If you'd prefer to use natural skin care products for oily skin problems, I recommend the L'Bri line. Click here for details.
