Ways To Drop Weight Effectively And In Three Steps
Do you consider yourself to be fat, overweight or perhaps obese? You are probably not aware of it but there is a vast difference of meaning between these 3 words. Some people are just plain fat; being a little fat is not bad. When the body has a substantial amount of fat in it, then this is what is termed overweight. Obese is when your weight has gotten unmanageable. To work out what you are, all you will need to do is use the BMI (body mass inde

Diet Plans To Lose Weight
Some diet plans have you excluding or severely limiting entire food groups. While it may be alright on a short-term basis, and diet that excludes or puts undue limits on a whole food group isn't healthy in the long run.For example, the Atkins diet is extremely low carb, making it hard to get in adequate fruits and vegetables.

The Truth Relating to Body Fat Loss Surgery
Weight reduction surgery has been known for years and seems to remain an option of last resort for some people. This method may actually be excellent for the highly obese who require drastic measures. Granted, sometimes it can be hard to judge when there are inconsistent reports concerning this kind of surgery. You can easily come across very positive success testimonies, and of course there are the opposite where everything went horribly wrong.
Water Restrictions in France
French authorities have widened water-use restrictions to more than half of the country’s departments, as drought conditions persist in the European Union’s largest agricultural producer.

Is Quiting Smoking with the Aid of Electronic Cigarettes Even Possible?
Many people that we are aware who have been totally hooked on cigarettes for years were advised by their doctors that if they didn’t give up smoking, the nasty habit was going to create carcinoma of the lung. It’s not necessarily simple to kick among the hardest addictions on the planet. Thus, an alternative to quiting smoking would be to smoke electronic cigarettes.A friend of mine got himself a free electronic cigarette and used i
France Property - Bubble Burst? No
French property prices are going up but experts differ on the reason why property in France has become more expensive. The French Institute for Statistics says the price rise is down to the lack of accommodation and not down to speculation. On Tuesday the general manager of the INSEE, Jean-Philippe Cotis explained that the surge in housing prices in France over the last few years seems predominantly linked to the lack of volume rather than to financial speculation, unlike the situation in UK or Spain. In France the drop in property price has been limited (-7% in 2009) and prices quickly went up again (+6.3% in 2010). In addition the volume of transactions are practically back to its level pre- financial crisis level.

Here's The Reason Why Calories Burned Walking May Be Higher Than Running
Consider for a moment if you will the number of calories burned walking for just one hour to those expended whilst running for an hour.There would undeniably be a variance, but it is not really as obvious as you may presume.And let's be honest are you fit enough to run at this pace for a full hour anyway? The reality is if you could only manage to keep running for a total of say 5, 10 or maybe even 20 minutes, then there'd be a great deal more ca
Top 5 tips on Moving to France
There is an excellent article on Expatica about Moving to France.There are Top five tips for beginners moving to France. It is an excellent read with good advice and suggestions. Here is a sample extract:
Consider buying an unlocked mobile phone before you leave. That way, once you arrive in France, you can shop around between carriers for the best plan, and then simply buy a SIM card with the carrier you choose. Not only will you likely save money, but also if you travel to any other country for any length of time, you can buy a SIM card there with a different carrier and use it in the same phone.
If you're arriving from another country besides Europe, buy travel adaptors for any appliances or electronics you are taking (they won't work in France). And for your more valuable electronics, be sure to check the voltage conversion so that you don't destroy your laptop or MP3 player.

It is a Taxing time in France
President Sarkozy with Presidential elections on the horizon has been targeting foreign holiday home owners.From January 2012, holiday home owners will be hit with a new property tax. It is based on the rental value of the property - so flats in the north will pay less than villa owners on the Med coast. The cost will be 20% of this nominal rental value per year. Not a popular move for sure, and there is talk that this regulation will be challenged in the European courts as it discriminates against foreign property owners.More details: New French Property taxes in 2012

Normandy Invasion by G8
Reuters reports on the latest Normandy invasion:
Normandy's seaside resort town of Deauville will see an invasion of a gentler kind: the annual Group of Eight summit, which will gather 18 heads of state and 2,500 delegation members to discuss North African unrest and other global issues.The G8 dignitaries should feel right at home in Deauville, which has been the playground of the Parisian elite for decades.
In 1858, the Duke of Morny, a half-brother of Napoleon III, decided to create "a kingdom of elegance" and built the first half-timbered villas that give Deauville its unique look.
Just two hours from Paris, Deauville is still a haunt for the wealthy, although the crowd is less exclusive now.
With its racecourse, harbour, international film festival, marinas, conference centre, villas, Grand Casino and sumptuous hotels, Deauville is regarded as the "queen of the Norman beaches" and one of the most prestigious seaside resorts in all of France. Closest seaside when coming from Paris, the city and the nearby region of the Côte Fleurie (Flowers Coast) has long been home to French high society's seaside houses and is often referred to as the Parisian riviera.

The Rain in Spain - nope that should France
We are getting worried about the lack of rain in southern England but in France the situation is worse. The Telegraph reports .....
More than two-thirds of France's water tables are at below-normal levels, the Office of Geological and Mining Research (BRGM) said separately.
Nearly a third of the country's 95 departments, or administrative districts, have imposed water restrictions on part or all of their territory.
The worst-hit region is Poitou-Charentes, in the centre west, where restrictions have halved irrigation levels for farmland and outlawed lawn water and the filling of swimming pools.

You Have been Warned: Speeding Fines in France
Connexion reports on the high level of speeding fines in France. Last year speed cameras generated 4.6 million fines, government figures show. A total of 1,740 cameras on French roads resulted in 11 million alerts being sent from the machines to a national processing centre, of which 4.6 million resulted in fines sent out, or an average of just over seven a day per camera. The Interior Ministry figures follow the government’s announcement of a plan to remove warning signs for cameras, likely to result in an increased number of fines.

Biggest culprit: Of course we have to accept white van man just has to get there that little bit faster than the rest of us! But Sovereign Harbour roads have become a race track for the young too. At roundabouts they will not indicate - 4 x 4's too obviously are not equipped with indicators either!
What else gets my goat? There is a roundabout nr Sovereign Harbour going towards Eastbourne which is approached along a dual carriageway. The left lane is clearly marked with a filter for cars taking the first exit. If there is a queue back from the roundabouts - say at rush hour in the morning - drivers just cannot wait. They are more important than everybody else and move into the left lane (often with near misses) and then at the roundabout do not filter left but take the 2nd exit (and even worse the 3rd exit). Oh joy!

Soaring Prices in France
The Telegraph reports on soaring prices in France - especially in Energy costs. Brits living on sterling pensions or income are finding it very difficult.Some are contemplating returning to Blighty.
In Spain, for example, energy prices are 19pc higher than they were last March, while anyone living in France must deal with a 15pc increase. Other costs, such as food, are increasing too – food costs in Poland are up by 7pc since last year.
Of course, costs are rising in the UK as well, but British expats abroad are facing a triple whammy. As well as inflation, the euro’s continuing strength against the pound means that those who have income or savings from back home are finding that their money buys them less every day.
