What to Eat In a Day to Get Fit

There’s nothing more frustrating than working out and not seeing the results you want. When you spend hours at the gym, that hard work can easily be undone by a few extra slices of pizza here and there. But, eating to lose weight is not as hard or complicated as one might think. You don’t have to starve, you don’t have to eliminate food groups (unless you have a food sensitivity) and you don’t have to crash diet. Applying a few basic principles to your daily meals can make a big difference.

Portion Control

The first principal is portion control.This is very important because you can overeat on healthy food too. We live in an age of super sized, oversized and family sized meals.The truth is we don’t need any where near as much at one meal as we are actually consuming.

Balanced Macronutrients

The second principal is balanced macronutrients. Don’t let the science terminology scare you, it just means having a balance between your lean protein, your healthy carbohydrates and your healthy fats. We usually don’t have an issue taking in carbohydrates or even fat for that matter but a lot of times it’s the wrong types of carbohydrates or fats. When it comes to protein a lot of people don’t eat it that much and when they do its in very large quantities, like a huge steak. Having a balance between these three macronutrients at each meal will help you lose weight.

Eliminating Processed Foods

Last but definitely not least, principal three, significantly reducing or eliminating highly processed foods especially those containing high amounts of processed sugars. The goal is to get back to natural, real food. Some foods that have been minimally processed are ok in moderation but the rest has to go if you want to lose weight. That doesn’t mean you can’t ever have a cookie or enjoy dessert, it just means that instead of buying the ones that can last a lifetime on a shelf, you make it at home with natural ingredients and no preservatives.

If you want more help and a lot more detail on how these three principals work and how to apply them you can check Ultimate Portion Fix, created by Beachbody ’s Super Trainer and nutrition expert, Autumn Calabrese.

WATCH NOW: EPISODE FOUR OF REFINERY29’s ORIGINAL SERIES

Style Out There

Style Out There, Refinery29’s award-winning video series is back with the fourth episode of season 3. With over 26 million views, host and journalist Connie Wang digs into the way clothing has given women a way to speak out, look within, and identify the forces that limit their potential. Through these stories, Wang discovers the powerful way fashion illuminates social and political issues, ranging from the connection between sexy clothing and sexual assault to instances when cultural appropriation can actually be both useful and productive.

Episode Four of Style Out There is Now Available on Refinery29.com

In episode four, Connie Wang explores the all-female teams in the equestrian sport Escaramuza, which is a treasured Mexican tradition melding riding, fashion, and national identity. But for the athletes living in America, there’s an added vulnerability in literally wearing their Mexican pride on their sleeves.

Episode Four Highlights

On Making Women Confident

“I say it’s contributed because practicing Charrería, and more in the United States, it magnifies and gives you a confidence as a Mexican to be able to open all the doors, remove all the barriers and not fear anything.” – Frine, Coach, Real De Valle

On Escaramuza Telling a Story from the Past

“Charging through the arena like true warriors Las Coronelas De Illinois are poised, powerful and in control. As I watch them spin in layers of crinoline Vision of Adelitas from centuries ago it occurs to me that, today, this sport and its pageantry really tells a story about the grace and bravery of these women who dedicate their lives to it.”

“On top of their horses, in these dresses, Escaramuza like Mireya are proudly announcing who they are and where they belong.” – Connie Wang, Host

On the Dress Being a Symbol of Pride

“Ever since the elections, I do feel that wearing the Escaramuza dress is more than just wearing team gear it’s more like sending a message and proving that I am proud of being Mexican-American .” – Mireya, Las Coronelas De Illinois

Style Out There will premiere new episodes every week on Refinery29’s YouTube channel, exploring Japanese Cholas subculture in Nagoya, the rise of Afrofuturism across the globe, the American Escaramuzas, and Jamaica’s dancehall queens.

CMRubinWorld and Race Issues

Leave a reply

In a new interview with CMRubinWorld, Diversity/Inclusion expert and Cultural Anthropologist Dr. Michael Baran discusses his interactive web-based program that stimulates productive dialogue on the complex issues surrounding race.

Deepening divides fragment our societies and our economies. How can modern technologies help us to find the common ground and bring us closer together? Interactive Diversity Solutions (IDS) has created a web based program called “Don’t Guess My Race” to support teaching diversity issues. The CEO of IDS, Michael Baran, says the inspiration for the program came from research studies with children in Brazil. In Baran’s studies, he asked children to describe pictures he had taken of people’s faces. What he discovered was that this exercise sparked “extremely rich conversations about sensitive topics.” What if photographs could be used to create an interactive race awareness? In an increasingly interconnected world, race, identity and sexuality are often left undiscussed because for many, these are challenging topics and it’s difficult to find the right “space” to do it in an effective way. Yet it is a critical challenge for which all the world seeks solutions. “We want children to see how the world doesn’t come in bounded natural groups, but that there are spectrums of differences and multiplicities of intersecting identities that overlay this difference,” says Baran.

Five things to consider when buying men’s wedding rings

Leave a reply

We all adore weddings. When you make up your mind that you want to start a family, it is only fair that you do everything the right way. Wedding rings have evolved through time. Traditionally, the wedding bands were simple, and they were meant to signify that someone is married. Nowadays, a ring is more than a mere symbol of love.

While most focus is on the bride, it is equally important to focus on the groom. The bride already has an engagement ring. The groom should get himself a ring that matches his personality. There are some things that every groom should consider before buying a wedding band.

1. Comfort

Rings can get quite uncomfortable. Studded rings can sometimes feel irritating around your finger. When buying a wedding band, go for the ring that is most comfortable for you. Considering that you will wear the ring most of the time, you should go for one that gives you comfort. There are great rings designed for maximum comfort.

2. The right fit

While you are busy buying a ring, make sure that it is the right fit. A small or too large ring can be cumbersome. A tight ring can be problematic. You should have a ring fitting after the morning hours when your body temperature is right. Unknown to many, our bodies swell during early hours owing to several factors. Make sure that you have the fitting at the right time to make sure that you get the right size. Georg Jensen online store offers you a guide for ring sizes to ensure that you get the correct ring size.

3. The bride’s rings

You need to make sure that the bride’s ring and your ring match. The wedding bands need to be similar. To tie everything together, ensure that your ring and her ring are identical. They may not be the same, but they should complement each other in a way. To make it easier, you can do the ring shopping together for an easier time.

4. Budget

Sometimes you have to keep in mind the amount of money you can spend on something. A ring can be expensive especially if it has precious stones in large quantity. The more the bling the moiré you will have to pay on it. You need to set an amount of money that you want to spend on your wedding ring. As silly as it sounds, some budgets can be too unrealistic. When you want a good ring, you must be ready to spend some money. You can opt for a simple piece without expensive embellishments.

5. Type of metal

Many metals make wedding bands. Many people go for gold as their first preference. You need to pick the right metal for your wedding bands. What do you prefer? The Georg Jensen rings feature rare metals like sterling silver, gold, and diamonds. There are gold coated rings that you can buy. If you want to get a gold ring, chose between white and yellow gold. The metals also feature precious stones like diamonds. There are platinum rings which are typical for men than silver.

The best way to buy men’s wedding ring is to evaluate all the factors. When you assess yourself, you will be able to buy the best ring for your wedding band. You can also consider other factors like the shape of the ring that you want. There is an array of configurations of rings that are available. When you pick a ring, make sure that it will last longer. Some metals like silver lose their shine over time. You also have to take good care of your ring to ensure that it lasts longer.

When you make up your mind on the right ring for you, get online and chose the ring you want. Remember to make an early order to get ample time for anything that mind need changes. At the Georg Jensen online store, you will have plenty to explore. Enjoy the shopping experience.

Law Banning Shipment of French Wines

Delaware Contemplates Law Banning Shipment of French Wines

National Association of Wine Retailers Ask For A Fair and Consumer Friendly Wine Shipping Law

The following statement was issued by National Association of Wine Retailers’ Executive Director Tom Wark on the attempt in Delaware to pass a wine shipping law that would ban shipment of all French, Italian, Spanish and other imported wines sold by retailers, while allowing only shipments from American wineries.

“Once again the Delaware legislature is attempting to pass a law that allows Delawareans to receive wine shipments from out of state wineries, while making it illegal for residents to receive shipments of all French, Italian, Spanish or any other wine sold by an out-of-state wine retailer. It’s a nonsensical ban on the shipment of any imported wine, any wines from “wine of the month” clubs, of most Kosher wines and the rare and collectible wines by out-of-state wine auction houses.

“Senate Bill 49, sponsored by Senator Dave Sokola (R), is a good idea, but poorly executed. As with past attempts to give Delawareans access to wines now hard to find in the state, SB 49 allows consumer wine shipments from out-of-state—but only from out-of-state wineries.

“But what of the hundreds of thousands of imported wines only sold in the U.S. by wine stores and wine retailers. Why should these be off limits? Why should Delaware residents be labeled criminals if they ship in a French wine from an out-of-state wine store, but not if they have an Oregon Pinot Noir shipped to them from a winery? The distinction is without merit.

“Delaware wine consumers and commonsense demand better from their lawmakers and those pushing the ban on shipment of imported wines. Delaware consumers should have access to the thousands of French, Italian, German, Spanish and other imported wines that are only sold in the U.S. by wine retailers.

“This looming attempt to criminalize Delaware wine lovers who prefer French, German, New Zealand, Argentine, Italian or the coveted Bordeaux and Burgundy wines that are in short supply can easily be fixed by members of the Senate Banking, Business and Insurance committee who will conduct a hearing on SB 49 on April 10. The bill merely needs to be amended to allow wine shipments from out-of-state retailers in addition to out-of-state wineries.

“Delaware residents may receive out-of-state shipments of food, but there is no ban on Spanish ham shipments. They may receive shipments of shoes, but there is no ban on Italian loafers. They may receive shipments of books, but there is no ban on French novels. Why is Delaware contemplating a ban on the shipment of imported wines from retailers?

“If Delaware is finally going to drag its wine laws out of the 20th century by allowing consumers to receive shipments from out-of-state, they shouldn’t do so by also implementing a ban on certain wines just because they are sold by retailers and not wineries The Delaware legislature, starting with the Senate Banking, Business and Insurance Committee, ought to pass a clean, inclusive, fair and consumer-friendly wine shipping bill.”
