Food & Fitness, Pg 155
What is it about Mexican food this month? First Cleo pitches a great Mexican recipe, now Cosmopolitan follows suit. This one is for Mexican shredded beef soup, and I believe I’ll cook u a batch on the weekend! This recipe is from the Women’s Weekly Healthy Eating cookbook, and if it’s anything like the other cookbooks I’ve read of theirs, it’s probably worth checking out.
Over the page are ten tips for improving your immune system, definitely timely judging by the amount of people getting sick at the moment. A lot of these are the old “exercise, eat garlic and chilli” variety, but eating shitake mushrooms, making a home made disinfectant spray to kill germs around your house, and massaging your pressure points are also on the list. All of these are easy to do, and none are unpleasant, so maybe they’re worth a go.
The last page has the fabulous title “de-jiggle your fat spots”, and if you have any concept of how fat burning works, none of these will make any difference without changing your diet, and upping your cardio. Back fat, armpit overhang, squishy thighs and belly bumps are areas almost everyone has, and everyone hates. The way your body usually works is to change in the place you hate most last. Keep motivated, change your exercise routine often, and don’t stop just because the weather is cold. And those horribly titled bits will change eventually!
(This article does mention diet and cardio, but the way it pitches these exercises makes it slightly misleading) Overall, I rate it ***
