On a Final Note

As some of you may have noticed, we haven’t been blogging much lately.

We started blogging back in 2004, when we began college. We wanted a simple girly website where we can share our thoughts on fashion with other fashion lovers. We finally settled on blogspot, because we were both technically challenged and it was easy. It was really exciting at first. We religiously stalked our blog and our heart would skip a beat whenever we get a comment. It gave us a warm and fuzzy feeling each time.

We just graduated last summer and since then, we’ve been struggling to carry our blog into the ‘real world’ with us. When you’re a student, you’re surrounded by inspirations and you have all the time in the world to take it in and read up on the latest styles and celebrity trends. In the real world, you get so caught up with life that you barely have time to stop and admire your surroundings and be inspired and excited by it. Now don’t get us wrong, we still love to drool over gorgeous dresses and new bags and debate over the merits of the latest trends- just not as often anymore. Blogging started to become a chore instead of something we loved doing. That was when we knew that it was time to move on, even though it took us a few months of thinking and debating with ourselves and each other to realize it, and another few months overcoming self denial to act on it. It’s not easy to give up something we’ve been doing for the last four years, knowing that once we stop, there is no going back.

A little over 4 years ago, we had no idea what blogs were, and we certainly didn’t know fashion blogs will become such a big phenomenon. We didn’t really know where we were heading when we started I am Fashion, but it became something we loved. We considered taking I am Fashion further, developing it into something bigger as so many other fashion blogs have done. But alas, as hard as we racked our brains, we couldn’t come up with a vision of where it can go. And so, we've decided that it was time to make a graceful exit and let I am Fashion go.

We’d like to thank all the readers who have stuck with us throughout the last four years. It was your comments, emails and continued presence that have kept us going for so long. We’d also like to thank our guest blogger E, who has helped us immensely in the last few months through this difficult transition period. It’s been an unexpectedly rewarding experience, which will always have a special place in our hearts.

Weight Loss - The Atkins diet

Few people know that about eighty years ago, people were considered obese people attractive, vigorous and respectable, unlike thin people, who were considered poor, weak and sick, not to mention somewhat desirable. For that reason, obese people are never judged or criticized, and hence no one thought that most of these kilitos could become a health problem. Already in course of time, the roles were invested and obese people were more rejected that thin people. This gave rise to the diets, of which there are currently all sorts of exercises, products, gadgets and treatments for losing weight in an effective manner, and in some cases out uncontrolled and irresponsible. But the creation of a specific diet, radically changed the whole concept of the diets, showing the world that these elements are not only to limit the intake of fats and carbohydrates but can also bring incredible results inversely, to be exact we Talking about the Atkins diet from its inception it has been shown to the world as a revolutionary but efficient option for losing weight.

The Atkins diet was developed in 1972 by U.S. cardiologist Robert Atkins, who through their studies and experiments on the reactions of the human body was able to invent a diet highly contradictory to the others, because this is not based on lower consumption elements such as fat or meat, but this, on the contrary argued that a higher consumption of the service and lower consumption of foods such as vegetables, cereals and vegetables the human body would react so quickly lose weight.

When we talk about the Atkins diet is essential to touch such topics as the efficiency and the principles of it, because without this we will not know in fact that is the diet. The Atkins diet is beginning to provide the body with large amounts of protein by increasing intake of foods such as meat and in turn almost completely eliminate the foods of plant origin, with the aim of reducing carbohydrates to the point that during the Exercise your body do not use carbohydrates to feed its energy, but to proteins or rather the fat for that purpose, thus helping the body eliminate fat quickly helping in this way to lose weight quickly.

The results of that diet can not rebut, because in most cases these are of a weight loss of 4 to 5 kilos in the first week, and stabilized in the following from 1 to 2 pounds per week in that diet. It is noteworthy that these results can vary by agency, however the data given above are some of the most significant obtained by the Atkins diet.

This diet in its principles was refuted by nutritionists and specialists in the field, but it seemed logical that the health of organs like the heart and arteries could mean an increase in the possibility of suffering from evils such as hypertension and cardiovascular problems, but it is fine to say that this thinking today is maintained, however the effectiveness of the Atkins diet is no longer in doubt.

Currently, and after several studies in people who possess the Atkins diet has succeeded in showing that this is not recommended past 23 days, because from this point is beginning to dangerously raise the levels of cholesterol and uric acid, and in turn presents a loss of vitamins and minerals risky for any agency, thus enabling the body to suffer from cardiovascular disease or any kind of level professional shortcomings.

Given the above as best you can say is that although this diet holds incredible results, so where better to go to a specialist who can recommend the best application, durability and consistency of that diet, with the purpose of avoiding the appearance of annoying evils which may affect the normal development of our everyday lives.
