Alternative Diet

Diet, diet, diet! Which diet really works? What is the quickest way to look young and fit? I've got the answer for you. Try this diet. Wear the right underwear! Really, this works for both women and men.

I always ask my female clients if they get their bras fitted. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that 70% of my clients reply that they do not. Why is that?

Imagine a healthy, young lady. Where are her breasts? Imagine an elderly lady. Where are hers? Even if you have a good set of breasts, if they are sitting on your tummy, they will age you massively. If they spread out from east to west, they will make you look old and chubby.

Having your top and under bra properly measured and getting advice on which bra type best suits your breast will immediately work wonders. The right bra will keep your breasts in place and slim your waist at the same time. Isn't that great? Big-breasted ladies definitely need a hard-working bra, but small breasts equally need attention too! I have had clients who were wearing three sizes smaller or bigger than their actual size. Major department stores and lingerie shops can help you measure and find the right fit. It is advisable to get a fitting, not every few years, but each time you purchase a new bra. Different makes can differ in size so the best thing is to try them on. In addition, after every wash, ensure that the bra straps have not loosened.

For men, underwear is crucial! If you're complaining about your beer belly or not having the time to work out at the gym lately, why are you still wearing those loose cotton boxer shorts? Under your trousers, they can add unwanted bulge and layers to your stomach and buttocks. Keep the silhouette simple. Briefs may be suitable than trunks for men who have thicker, masculine thighs. Whether it be briefs or trunks, avoid any loose styles and choose those that comfortably fit close to your skin.

Styling is all about making the most of your assets and disguising whatever you don't want people to notice. We don't need to show every bit of you to everybody. There are all kinds of products that help you to "disguise" your figure, like girdles to hold your stomach or magic knickers to lift your bum.

Healthy food and regular exercise is definitely recommended, but if you're looking for a quick alternative diet that works, this is the way to go!
