Rings for weight loss?
Magnets have been used for hundreds of years for a wide variety of health purposes, reports the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, or NCCAM. Magnetic rings are purported to promote weight loss when used in combination with acupressure. Acupressure is based on the same principles as acupuncture.
History
Magnets have been used historically to stop bleeding, clean wounds relieve arthritis pain and even treat baldness, reports the NCCAM. Magnets were used in the Middle Ages to retrieve iron-containing objects like arrowheads from the body. Nowadays magnets are used primarily to diminish pain caused by conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia. Magnetic therapy has also been used on sick animals.
Considerations
Magnets are made from iron or other metals that are typically used in shoe insoles, mattresses, belts, headbands and jewelry such as bracelets and rings. Magnetic energy can be applied to the entire body or to specific areas to relieve pain. Magnetic rings are suggested to help diminish fat when placed on fat-prone areas of the body.
Claims
Magnetic rings can promote weight loss by enhancing the body's ability to manage fat while speeding up metabolic rates, asserts the website BestHomeRemedies.com. Magnetic rings are also purported to promote weight loss by helping diminish fluid retention.
Function
You wear a magnetic ring on various fingers to place physical pressure on an acupressure point or specific areas of the body where you want to lose weight, notes the website BetterHomeRemedies.com.
For example, wearing a magnetic ring on the thumb can supposedly help reduce excess fat in the face and neck. A magnetic ring worn on the ring finger can help decrease abdominal fat and one on the little finger can help reduce leg fat.
Precautions
The means by which magnets might affect the human body remain unclear. The benefits of magnetic therapy for weight loss and other uses have not been sufficiently studied, points out the website Intelihealth.com
Magnets are generally thought to be safe when applied to the skin, notes the NCCAM. In rare cases side effects may include headache, fatigue, dizziness or itching.
Outlook
Successful weight loss requires regular exercise and healthy eating habits that include fruits, vegetables and whole grains, points out the Mayo Clinic.

Yes, I'm Alive
Hello butterflies!
I know I've not been here in forever, but I'm here now! I was in the hospital for almost a month due to my lung problem but I also lost 20 pounds there! :) That's good, awesome actually.
Going to try to write more, I think the site needs to be more vivid... so I hope you can all be a part of this site by posting about anything relating to Ana, Mia, or anything you want to share. I don't want to close this site because some Pro-Ana site trigger another view that I do not share. Well, guess this is all for now. Hopefully I'm not here alone.

No Perfect Way
There is no perfect way in Ana, not a secret road that's pleasant or easy. An Ana life is a rocky path that's haunted by our inner demons, fears and failure. There could never be created perfection, but with determination, control and strenght we can survive this highway.
I'm not going to type here the wonderful life of been Ana. it's not glamorous, it's not easy and it's not for the weak. We fight everyday with the fat and obsession of an unhealthy world, we fight each day with our weakness, our frustration...
Ana is not a fashion, is not something you can just become...real Anas know the rocks, have tasted their tears...
there are so many sub-groups inside Ana: Ana, pro-Ana, A girls, wannorexics, actual anorexics...
can there be a separation? I hope so...

Diet Tips
When it comes to losing weight is not only an Ana issue, it’s a common issue. So, perhaps one might work for you.
Diet Tip No. 1: The oldest trick on the Book: Drink plenty of water or other calorie-free beverages while trying to avoid diet sodas.
People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. So you can end up eating extra calories when an ice-cold glass of water is really what you need.
If you don't like plain water, try adding citrus or a splash of juice, or brew infused teas like mango or peach, which have lots of flavor but no calories.
Water trick: a warm glass of water helps destroy craving.
Did you know?
When you're done eating, you should feel better -- not stuffed, bloated, or tired.
Your stomach is only the size of your fist, so it takes just a handful of food to fill it comfortably.
Keeping your portions reasonable will help you get more in touch with your feelings of hunger and fullness.
Diet Tip: Be choosy about nighttime snacks.
Mindless eating occurs most frequently after dinner, when you finally sit down and relax.
We over-eat without noticing it or as a routine, CUT it out!
Either close down the kitchen after a certain hour, or allow yourself a low-calorie snack, like a 100-calorie pack of cookies or cup of yogurt.
Chocolate Dream:
God created fat free chocolate whipped cream...delicious! Freeze it with yogurt for a chocolate that’s 15 calories!
Diet Tip: Eat protein at every meal.
Protein is more satisfying than carbohydrates or fats, and thus may be the new secret weapon in weight control.
"Diets higher in protein [and] moderate in carbs, along with a lifestyle of regular exercise, have an excellent potential to help weight loss," says University of Illinois protein researcher Donald Layman, PhD.
Getting enough protein helps preserve muscle mass and encourages fat burning while keeping you feeling full. So be sure to include healthy protein sources, like yogurt, cheese, nuts, or beans, at meals and snacks.
Diet Tip: The Power of Spices
Add spices or chilies to your food for a flavor boost that can help you feel satisfied.
"Food that is loaded with flavor will stimulate your taste buds and be more satisfying so you won't eat as much," says Perdomo.
Did you know? Pepper helps you feel fuller, salt retains water, mustard accelerates your metabolism, and honey slows your metabolism...
Diet Tip: Stock your kitchen with healthy convenience foods.
Having ready-to-eat snacks and meals-in-minutes staples on hand sets you up for success. You'll be less likely to hit the drive-through or call in a pizza order if you can make a healthy meal in 5 or 10 minutes.
Sass stocks her kitchen with:
• 94% fat-free microwave popcorn (20-25 calories per cup, and you can make it in two minutes or less)
• Frozen vegetables
• Bags of pre-washed greens
• Yogurt
• Whole-grain wraps or pitas
• Pre-cooked grilled chicken breasts
Best Diet Tip: Be physically active.
Although it may seem counterintuitive, don't use exercise either to punish yourself for eating or to "earn" the right to eat more.
"When you do, it sets up a negative thought pattern, which is why so many people say they hate to exercise," says May.
Instead, focus on how great you feel, how much better you sleep and how much more energy you have when you exercise. Physical activity is good for you whether you are trying to lose weight or not, so keep it positive and build a lifelong habit.

Ana Dilemma
Anorexia’s Dilemma
Anorexia, one of the most commented themes in thoughts, why? The pro and anti Ana community doesn’t seem to find a happy medium. I’m one of those people trapped in the middle of the battle. A useless fight that leads to nothing as I’ve already explain my vision or ideas, fight against anti and pro, guide others into better diets like Atkins or a guilt-free ride to eating. So, I’ve also said many times that I will retire from this, that I’m done…but let’s face it: I am Ana.
So, for everyone that is like: WTF? Here’s something I know lots of Anas agreed with:
1- Anorexia: this is a disease
2- Pro-Ana is a lifestyle
So, it seems pretty easy, right? Wrong!
Here are a few things you should know:
The term pro-Ana and its movement begin in 2001 under the idea or statements that ‘Ana’ is a lifestyle choice rather than a disease. The movement has been changing constantly and right now it’s been divided by Pro-Ana per se and what’s become more commonly known as “A” girls, referring mostly to The A Principle book of ideas and new movement and symbols…
Now, if you are a 100% secure that ‘Ana’ refers only as a short for Anorexia, think again. The term Ana in fact started as a friendly term for Anorexia however the term has been also use to refer a diet of 500 calories or less. Now, the paths of Pro-Ana have been changed due to the misunderstanding of the terms and also because of the bad fame the name is getting.
Differences of Pro-Ana and A girls
1- Pro-Ana: although the term is commonly use by A girls, the separation of both has distinguish Ana as a more obsessive person dying to be thin. These are sometimes classified as possible anorexics and their goals are way under-weight. Their thinspo is extreme and are developing dangerous routines; also their message is very unhealthy to younger girls and boys.
2- A girls: (also boys, BTW) this is a reference to the use of thinspo, people who do occasionally fast, stay under 500 calories sometimes but don’t fear food, their goal are realistic and exercise. These are the ones that are considered: ‘extreme dieters’ but don’t send the wrong messages.
Although similar, the differences are gigantic.
Now, for all Anti-Anas: Sometimes Ana is been label or judge very hard, when it’s been misread. Yes, I know Anorexia is deadly…for those few that honesty cares THANK YOU. But, please make sure to know the differences because we don’t need more judgment.
In my case, my husband knows it but like I said, I’m an A girl and not anorexic. I’ll never put my weight before my life.
Hope this blog will help a little bit, to easy this continue fight. We all need a friend, this is our place to go without judgment.
