Drink Your Greens!

Girl, if you don’t love your greens, you better start! And if you only eat one green the rest of your life, make it kale, which is packed with CALCIUM (yes — equivalent to milk) and vitamins A, C and K. But if you’re not into steaming kale and eating it with some olive oil and sea salt, or making yummy kale chips, then try this smoothie — it’ll make the medicine go down a little easier — thanks pineapple! And thanks Martha Stewart!

Puree these ingredients in a blender until smooth!

The Kim Kardashian Complex

Can we all just leave Kim Kardashian’s ass alone? Unless we’re praising it? We woke up bright and early this morn to a Facebook post from online-news outlet Jezebel, pointing out a recent tweet from Kim Kardashian:

Yeah Kim, you tell ‘em! (BTW, you can follow Curvy Diet on Twitter here!) Also, here’s our blog reminding everyone about the dangers of PMMA butt injections. And check out our Curvy Diet plan for how to boost your butt naturally — with the aguaje fruit from Brazil, known as the “curvy fruit” for its curve-boosting plant estrogen. And in that vein, here’s a very short video featuring two simple exercises to firm and tone your backside. Keep it curvy, ladies!

Natural Hair Care

We were surfing the web — as we tend to do to keep on top of health/fitness/beauty trends — and we just discovered that Essence magazine has a whole online category titled “Natural Hair Revolution.” Check some of the posts out, we didn’t realize there was a natural hair event called Naptural Attraction!

Foods To Stay Away From

Hmm, so this is why most restaurants don’t include nutritional information for their menu items! Buzzfeed published this list of 11 appetizers at chain restaurants whose fat, calorie and sugar content are off the charts (inspired by New York Times best-selling author David Zinczenko’s book, Eat It To Beat It!).

Train Your Waist For An Hour Glass Figure!

Ladies, if you want an hourglass figure, you have to work for it! Not only by sticking with our diet and great workout plan, but with another kind of training- waist training.

Its a great idea to invest in a garment that will help contour your mid-section to give you that hourglass shape. Another natural way to cinch your waist includes doing herbal body wrap two to three a week, for 8 hours at a time a week. Wrap your midsection with plastic wrap coated with petroleum jelly or coconut oil. This treatment will moisturize your skin and train your waist to the ideal form you’re looking for! Now ladies don’t get confused when focusing on your waist area. Some might misinterpret that tight-lacing or waist training are similar method to help contour your waist. Some corset companies use the terms interchangeably, which can be confusing or possibly even dangerous because saying that a corset is designed for “waist training”, a client may come along with an entirely different idea of what “waist training” really is, and may end up using the corset in a way that it was not designed for. So when a corset company claims it to be appropriate for waist training, be very careful about how they define that term before you invest.

WHAT IS TIGHT-LACING?

Some people say that tight lacing is anything beyond a 4 inch reduction. This may be challenging if you have a natural 24 waist, but easy if you have a 40 waist. Others say that tight-lacing is anything more than 20% reduction, which would obviously be different if you are starting from a different size. This would be the equivalent of a person with a 24 waist lacing down to about 19, while the person with the 40 natural waist being able to lace down to 32. Still others say that tight lacing is arbitrary and dependent on the individual’s personal squishiness, tolerance to restriction, etc. Therefore two people with the same starting waist may each cinch down to a different point, they may have a different apparent hip spring, etc. but as long as they are laced to the point where it is a ‘challenging’ (but not painful) reduction, each may be considered a tight lacier in their own right.

WHAT IS WAIST TRAINING?

Just like weight training, voice training or marathon training, waist training is something that you work at over time. It involves a certain intention, end goal, consistent work and dedication. Can you still be called a waist trainer?

If you are just starting out with waist training and you cannot tolerate high reductions, then you can still call it waist training if you want. Some people wear their corsets all day, every day at a 2-3 inch reduction, which to most lacier’s would likely not be classified as “tight-lacing”. If you’re petite with a natural 22 waist and you can’t lace down that much – or even if you’re larger but you just can’t tolerate a lot of pressure – but you are dedicated and try to wear your corset on a near-daily basis, don’t let anybody tell you “that’s not waist training”.

If you can tight lace, and you do so every day (even if you only do it because you enjoy it and don’t have particular goals), some might consider this to be waist training as well. You can be a tight-lacer without waist training, and you can waist train without being a tight-lacer (to a point). But many people are both at the same time, if they can achieve high reductions for long durations on a daily basis.
