32 participants were allocated into two groups in a randomized controlled trial over eight weeks. One group exercised with [with the bike] three days per week. While the other group exercised 30 minutes for five days per week in line with Government Guidelines.

Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to Customers and It Got Ugly
With all of our fashion might we want to believe this was done with good intentions. Nevertheless, the internet was met with displeasure today as news spread that Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to its customers; INCLUDING those who ordered plus size clothing. Yikes.
Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to Customers and It Got Ugly
Now being that it is summer and this brand is geared towards teens and the 20s set. Many of us probably are obsessing about how we currently look in our bikinis and IG photos. So then, Forever 21 may have felt like they were doing all of their consumer base a favor by sending out a mass supply of “healthy” conscious bars.
However, let’s get real. We are living in a world where a sneeze is enough to offend someone. Much less a popular clothing brand giving off the impression that it’s fans are well… fat. Therefore, how’d did everyone in the F21 corporate office miss this flub?
Several customers who received their fashion orders along with the bars took to social media in order to air their displeasure. Many were immediately offended by the gesture. Feeling that Forever 21 should apologize for their error. Some of their thoughts:
“I am FUMING that Forever 21 is actually sending Atkins Bars in Plus Size orders. Are you LITERALLY KIDDING me?? What is wrong with you?!”
“Yes shame on me for ordering from Forever 21 but why do they have to push diet food on me? It came with an Atkins bar.”
“Since Forever 21 feels I should go on a fad diet; maybe now is a good time to tell you all about my already existing fitness journey that doesn’t include Atkins Bars or Forever 21!”
“Forever 21 is a garbage company, and their PR team can choke.”
So How Should We Proceed Captain?
Strong words, huh? Well as of yet right now, Forever 21 is still keeping lips sealed. There are no current statements about the Atkins Bars or any formal apology.
While there is a multitude of customers who are upset about this food delivery. Still others are totally okay with it. Even prompting those who are mad that they received them; to forward the bars to them instead. One F21 fan said, “Bruh, its free food… shut up and eat it!”
Thus, showing that in this world it hard to please or satisfy anyone. We will await to see how Forever 21 decides to handle this situation.

Fat Freezing Procedure: “Contrast Contouring”-The Newest Breakthrough Technology
Hold up… Fat Freezing Procedure just got a new spin! Instead of just freezing; Contrast Contouring adds heat and variable vacuum pressure; which combines to offer improved fat loss and far less bruising. Interesting.
Fat Freezing Procedure: “Contrast Contouring”-The Newest Breakthrough Technology
KATY, TEXAS, UNITED STATES, February 28, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Fat freezing technology is in its infancy; yet it already has had some incredible advances in the never ending search for fat loss. The original method of freezing body fat, called Cryolipolysis; starts by freezing the fat cells in a treated area down to 12.2° for 35 minutes under a constant vacuum. This method, according to the National Institute of Health has life-long results.
Furthermore, the National Institute of Health reported, “In clinical studies; cryolipolysis was shown to reduce fat at the treatment site by up to 25% after one treatment. Improvements were seen in 86% of treated subjects. At 73%, the patient satisfaction rate is higher than with other technologies used for noninvasive lipolysis. Cryolipolysis has been proven to be a very safe method for body contouring”.
Fat Freezing Procedure: “Contrast Contouring”-The Newest Breakthrough Technology (Continued)
Just in the last year, Your Best Body Today joined the fight by bringing Contrast Contouring to market which adds heat, a variable vacuum and a lower retail cost. The process starts by increasing the temperature to 107° which adds fluid in the fat cells. After 4 minutes, it freezes the area down to 12.2° crystalizing the fat membrane which damages the cell. This process repeats four times per hour. Variable vacuum was also added to this technology which raises and lowers the vacuum pressure during the session, decreasing bruising substantially.
It all boils down to the same question, does it really work? The National Institute of Health thinks so, “Several studies in humans have shown comparable results. One study published in 2009 involving ten subjects reported a 20.4% and 25.5% reduction in the fat layer 2 months and 6 months after treatment, respectively. More recently, a retrospective multicenter study using patient surveys, photographic documentation, and caliper measurements, was published by Dierickx. These investigators reported that 86% of 518 subjects showed improvement.”
In conclusion, fat freezing works, it’s safe and with the advancement of technology, Contrast Contouring is leading the fight against unwanted fat. The 40+ age group couldn’t thank you enough. I’m finally going to get my body back.

The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life!
Beyoncé put out one post and she already has fans shoveling in grass. Okay, that is a little drastic, but the point is that many are now willing to give a vegan diet a try. The GreenPrint Project is a “system” that was created to help people get healthier and in turn sexier by turning to a plant based diet.
As a result, Beyoncé and her hubby, Jay Z are challenging their fans to consume better foods. Both Bey and Jay have been apt vegan dieters and the results are in the vegan pudding. When Queen Bey slims ALL THE WAY down this is the diet secret she uses. Therefore, if it is good enough for the queen, now we all can finally have the body of a celebrity… without the knife or needle.
The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life
So then, how does this all work? Marco Borges, the trainer of Beyoncé and Jay Z; and the mastermind behind GreenPrint Project briefly summarizes it this way,
“The Greenprint is a program for a health transformation. It is also a blueprint for plant-based eating. And, yes, it is vegan, but with a difference.
You don’t have to change every item in your diet. Start with one change like meatless dinners and build on that. The road to well-being starts with making informed decisions that will help you shop, cook, eat and feel better.
Did you know? The best sources of protein are plant based; like beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Love food that loves you back. Love food that will give you health and vitality.”
Want to take the plunge so that you can win some Bey tickets? Well, to get started all you need is a positive attitude, determination, 22 days; along with Marcos Borges 22 Day Nutrition Program. Acook book that tells you everything you have to do.
Yes, you will need to be firmly dedicated for 22 days straight. Why? Well, Borges is utilizing the proven technique that it takes 22 days to make something a habit. So in 22 days you will be more in the swing of things when it comes to eating vegan. So much so you may never go back.
Furthermore, the online 22 Days Meal Planner (which comes as a $14 monthly subscription, so we are not referring to the book in this case); comes with meal plans, assistance and even a food delivery option if you live in certain areas. This will no doubt help you to stay on track and focused on reaching your goal.
Our next post will be pretty in-depth when it comes to the nutrition plan. So if you are really wanting to try this out be sure to read it.
Besides the 22 day plan, picking of The GreenPrint Project book itself will be very helpful. What’s inside? The GreenPrint Project page had this to say,
“The most revolutionary plant-based lifestyle is here! With meal plans, more than 60 delicious recipes; step-by-by guidelines; and inspirational success stories; the book will forever change your approach to food and your perspective on health.”
The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life (Continued)
However, one quick word on the free concerts for life. Yes, the contest is very real. To enter you must sign up online at www.thegreenprintproject.com and pledge to give the vegan lifestyle a try. Must be 18 years and older, plus be a U.S. resident.
If you do win you can expect one free concert per tour. Lastly, the free concerts will only be for up to 30 years. So kinda not quite a lifetime (LOL); BUT, that places Bey and Jay in their 70s-80s so you probably will not miss much.
