Effective Weight Loss Program: No Diet No Exercise No Rebound
We have two kinds of fat in our body, the Subcutaneous Fat and the Visceral Fat.
Subcutaneous Fat is the fat we find under the skin. It can be removed by liposuction but it will rebound.
Visceral Fat is the fat that envelop our organs. Unfortunately, visceral fat predisposes humans to many types of serious illneses. The most serious illnesses are Diabetes and Cardio-Vascular (or Heart) Disease.
The reason for this predisposition towards these serious diseases is the fact that visceral fat releases large quantities of triglycerides and low density lipoproteins into the blood stream.This fact is so important that physicians around the world advise their patients to keep their weight low in order to have less visceral fat.
Dieting may decrease your visceral fat but it is not the best way. Exercise can decrease visceral fat but with our busy lifestyle most of us don't have time to exercise. Exercise causes elevated aerobic metabolism, which in turn increases the production of killer molecules known as free radicals, prompting concern about enhanced damage to muscles and other tissues.
Whatever weight loss program, diet, pills and surgery you undergo in order to bring back that sexy figure you had, as long as it won't decrease your visceral fat you won't permanently loss that stubborn fat. You're just wasting your money.
I have a good news for you. A weight loss, I mean Fat loss program that will bring back your sexy figure you've been longing for without hassle, the healthy and effective way.

Angelina Jolie Takes All 6 Kids to See Harry Potter in London (photos)
Angelina Jolie took all six kids to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in London on Friday, a source tells Us Weekly. Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 3-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne joined their mom at the Richmond Odeon theater for a private screening of the intense, final Harry Potter film.
Brad Pitt didn't join his brood for their cinematic adventure. The family is in the UK where Pitt, 47, is filming the zombie flick World War Z. Jolie spent the weekend in Hollywood, and was spotted shopping with Shiloh and Zahara on Sunday. See more photos from the family's movie outing.
An insider says the Jolie-Pitts "bought a lot of food" for their afternoon at the movies. "All the kids had hot dogs, and they had popcorn and drinks. They looked like they had a great time!"
The Salt actress (wearing Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses) was spotted outside the theater carrying Viv on her hip and holding hands with Knox. Viv looked adorable in a floral pink dress; Knox mirrored his mom's outfit, donning aviator shades and a long-sleeved black shirt.
"They didn't say if they'd be back," a theater insider tells Us. "But they'd be very welcome. We have a few famous residents in Richmond, but nobody as famous as [Angelina]!"

Little Shiloh puts her mother Angelina Jolie in the shade with her cool sunglasses
As one of Hollywood's brightest stars, it is hard to outshine Angelina Jolie.
But her daughter Shiloh managed to do just that at Los Angeles airport yesterday.
The five-year-old looked like a little superstar in the making as she styled out a pair of shutter shades - made famous by Kayne West - while walking through the airport with the actress.
Her sister Zahara, six, had a pair of bright white glasses of her own, but opted to carry them in her hand.
Shady ladies: Angelina Jolie, Shiloh and Zahara were spotted at Los Angeles airport yesterday
It is clear that Angelina and partner Brad Pitt encourage their daughters to discover their own personal styles.
The couple's first natural-born daughter wore her standard boyish garb of a grey tracksuit while Zahara looked adorable in a floaty white top and jeans.
Shiloh clutched a Pokémon toy and her favourite blue security blanket and Zahara had two dolls in tow.
The trio - as well as bodyguards and a flannel shirt clad nanny - were flying out of Los Angeles after just a brief stay in the city.
They have spent much of the past few months in Malta while Brad films his latest movie, World War Z.
Star in the making? Shiloh looked rather chuffed with her green shutter shades

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Wedding Rumors Just 'More Noise,' French Mayor Says
"There are no plans for them to marry that I know of – and I would know," Correns, France, mayor Michaël Latz tells PEOPLE in response to reports the couple intend to wed in their adopted village.
"Every year, the rumor resurfaces," Latz adds. "More noise from the American press to sell a few more pounds of paper."
The mayor has been friendly with Jolie, 36, and Pitt, 47, whom he says invited him to their home after they first moved into the Chateâu Miraval just outside Correns, a picturesque, eco-agricultural community with a population of 661, three years ago. There is a chapel, part of which dates back to the sixteenth century, on the property, leading to speculation they might opt for a private, in-house religious ceremony.
Should the couple choose to wed one day in France, which recognizes civil services, they would be married by the mayor of their locality. By law, religious ceremonies can take place only after a civil wedding, Latz told local newspaper Var-Matin, and marriages are also subject to certain residency status requirements and a mandatory delay involving official public notice.

Angelina Jolie talks about shooting her Louis Vuitton ad
ANGELINA JOLIE has spoken for the first time about shooting her Louis Vuitton Core Values campaign in Cambodia. In an interview for the brand, filmed in a wooden shack on location for the shoot, Jolie recalls her first visit to Cambodia and why it became a life-changing experience.
"I first came to Cambodia about ten years ago for a film and we were the first film back since the war, so we didn't know quite know what it was going to be like, or what the people were going to be like, and it was the first time I became aware of landmines," Jolie says. "I remember standing in the waterfall during one of our shots and they said 'just stay on this side of the waterfall because that side of the waterfall still hasn't been de-mined'. And I thought, as somebody from America, what does that mean, hasn't been de-mined? It's just the craziest, it doesn't cross our mind that all these children, and people walking around these areas, have landmines in the ground and that's just a part of their daily life."
The campaign's tagline simply reads: "A single journey can change the course of a life. Cambodia, May 2011." Jolie's fees for this campaign are being donated to charity.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Getting Married
Get ready for a royal wedding of another sort: After six years together (and six kids!), Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning a wedding set to take place within the next few months, three separate sources confirm in the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday.
The "I do's" could take place at their newly renovated Chateau Miraval in Correns, France (conveniently featuring a 16th-century chapel) -- but don't expect a lavish bash in the manner of Pitt's $1 million nuptials in 2000 to Jennifer Aniston.
This super-couple's wedding "would be intimate and informal," one insider says of the pair.
Although Jolie, 36, and Pitt, 47, have long resisted traditional marriage until it became legal for everyone -- gay or straight -- their kids may have changed their mind.
"The kids ask about marriage," Pitt told USA Today in May of Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 3. "It's meaning more and more to them."

Brad Pitt Bonds With his sons Maddox, Pax on World War Z Movie Set (photos)
The 47-year-old actor brought his two oldest sons, Maddox, 9, and Pax, 7, to the set of World War Z, the flick he's filming this summer in Marsa, Malta.
Based on the book of the same name, the project -- set to hit theaters in 2012 -- features Pitt as United Nations employee Gerry Lane.
Hanging out in papa Pitt's trailer for a portion of their visit, Maddox and Pax were able to see Pitt film a shooting scene that featured him running away from zombies. Both kids covered their ears to muffle the noise from the scene's sound effects, but were quickly comforted by a bodyguard on set.
"Brad was very cheerful and happy to have his kids on set," a source told Us Weekly of Pitt, who also serves as one of World War Z's producers. "When Brad finished the scene, he took to the boys to his trailer and looked thrilled to see them. [While walking] he didn't hold their hands -- I think he likes to treat them like big boys!"
Maddox and Pax's set visit is just the latest item in their Maltese summer itinerary.
"They had a lots of fun and played for the entire two hours, laughing and giggling," an eyewitness said the Pitt-Jolie brood, who were joined by a few nannies and unidentified kids for the afternoon of fun.
As Pitt shoots World War Z, the family has been staying in a rented, palatial $11 million mansion in Qrendi, Malta. Filming for the project will move to the United Kingdom in mid-July.

Angelina Jolie Visits Cambodia for Louis Vuitton (video)
Looking serene while taking in the sights and sounds around her, Angelina Jolie appears in a new video that coincides with her “Core Values” campaign for Louis Vuitton. “In 2000, Angelina Jolie made her first trip to Cambodia,” a caption reads. “It was a journey that would change her life forever.” In fact, the actress first spent time in the Southeast Asian nation while filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and was “overwhelmed by the beauty of its landscapes and the warmth and generosity of its people,” according to a release. She later returned in her role with the United Nations, raising awareness about landmines, and famously adopted her eldest son, Maddox, from a local orphanage. (She even has Cambodian citizenship!) Jolie is the latest celebrity to star in Vuitton’s “Core Values” campaign, which has also featured luminaries like Bono, Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell, Sally Ride and Mikhail Gorbachev. Her first stunning ad was released earlier this month, and a longer video will hit louisvuitton.com in July.

“I am very lucky with Brad," she said. "He is a real gentleman, but he is also a man's man. He's got the wonderful balance of being an extraordinary, great, loving father and a very, very intelligent man, and physically he's a real man, in all things that it means.”
The 'Girl Interrupted' actress added that she loves being a woman. “I love that I can have children. I love feeling soft, I love being with Brad, I love all the sensitivity and natural emotion.”

Angelina Jolie's Emotional Meeting With Refugees in Malta (video)
Angelina Jolie is making the most of her time in Malta. As Brad Pitt shoots his latest film in the southern European country, the actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, 36, has been making a spate of humanitarian visits in the region.
On Sunday morning, Jolie visited two centers housing asylum-seekers in Malta, plus a similar camp on the Italian island of Lampedusa.
Over 1500 refugees have fled the violence from war-embattled Libya to Malta (via overcrowded boats) this year, with a troubling amount losing their lives during the dangerous overseas passage.
"Malta has saved many lives, but it is the daily conditions on the ground that are of most concern," Jolie said in Malta on Sunday morning. "We've spent time today speaking with the government and will spend more time talking about how, together, we can make the conditions more humane, especially for the children."
In this video, exclusive to Us Weekly, Jolie (greeted with cheers, hugs, and handmade signs) meets and speaks with men, women and children at one of those centers.
"We've spoken about our shared concerns about making sure asylum claims are processed as quickly as possible so no-one is sitting in a prison-like situation and waiting on a decision about their status, " she added.
"They are not asking to go to any particular country, they just want to find safety to work, and to have freedom," Jolie, who has long advocated for international refugees, added.

Angelina Jolie Visits Refugees in Turkey (photos)
Angelina Jolie is spreading goodwill in Turkey. The actress, who serves as goodwill ambassador to the United Nations goodwill ambassador, traveled to Turkey to visit Syrian refugees on Thursday.
As she arrived, Jolie was welcomed by a large sign that read “Goodness Angel of the World, Welcome.” According to several reports, Angelina brought food and toys to the Syrians, who have fled to the Turkish border after the government’s crackdown on protesters. She spent two and a half hours talking to refugees and taking notes.
The Syrian government is cracking down on protests demanding the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad. More than 1,200 people have been killed since the conflict began three months ago.
Jolie and her children Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne, have been spotted all over Malta, where Brad Pitt is shooting his upcoming zombie movie, World War Z.

Angelina Jolie poses for her First Ad on Louis Vuitton’s 'Core Values' Campaign (photo)
She’s barefoot, wearing her own clothes, no makeup and toting her own elegantly weathered monogrammed Alto bag. Yet Angelina Jolie looks radiant and completely in her element, reclining on a wooden boat in a verdant, lakeside landscape in Cambodia’s Siem Reap province. Jolie discovered the country in 2000 when she filmed “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” and it sparked her humanitarian activism.
She’s the latest celebrity to pose for Louis Vuitton’s popular “Core Values” campaign — and surely the only one who brought four children to the photo shoot, some of whom had to be shooed out of Annie Leibovitz’s frame.
“People are not used to seeing Angelina in this situation,” said Pietro Beccari, Vuitton’s executive vice president, unveiling the image exclusively to WWD. “I like the fact that it’s a real moment. This travel message we give through personal journeys is a fundamental one for the brand.”
The ad is slated to break in the International Herald Tribune on Wednesday, followed by a range of news, general interest and lifestyle publications, including Vanity Fair.
Beccari declined to disclose budgets for the media buy, or comment on reports Vuitton paid the American actress millions for the shoot. He would only say Jolie donated an undisclosed portion of her fees to a charity.
The campaign is expected to run for at least 18 months alongside a few other recent “core values” personalities, including Bono and Sean Connery. Vuitton introduced the advertising concept in 2007 as a way to trumpet its travel roots and showcase its perennial monogrammed leather goods as a balance to its fashion-driven marketing — and to reach a broader audience. Other personalities who have posed for Vuitton include Mikhail Gorbachev, Keith Richards and Catherine Deneuve.
Also on Wednesday, Vuitton plans to post a teaser on its Web site, louisvuittonjourneys.com/cambodia, foreshadowing an interview with Jolie that will be posted later in the month. In it, she is expected to discuss how her visit to Cambodia was a life-changing experience, awakening her to the plight of Third World countries. She adopted her eldest son, Maddox, from Cambodia and she and Brad Pitt established the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which is active in community development and conservation in the country.
“This campaign is about a very special person and a very special journey,” Beccari said.
And a storied handbag. Beccari showed off several paparazzi shots of Jolie toting the Alto carryall, which is believed to be at least six years old. The style is no longer in production, but “we are considering to re-edit it,” Beccari noted.

Angelina Jolie to play Cleopatra from a different angle
Angelina Jolie has taken on her fair share of challenging roles, but the Oscar-winning actress recently spoke about one of her most difficult roles to date: Cleopatra. Miss Jolie is set to star in the remake of the critically acclaimed, 1963 film starring Elizabeth Taylor, and the actress is aware she has very large shoes to fill.
The big-screen remake, titled "Queen of the Nile: Cleopatra, A Life," is said to be a unique interpretation of the classic tale. Prior to her death, Taylor reportedly voiced concerns about the remake, particularly the casting of Miss Jolie in her iconic role.
"My performance will never be as lovely as Elizabeth's," Miss Jolie told the Telegraph in a recent interview.
Miss Jolie plans to approach the Egyptian queen from a different angle. "We are trying to get into a different truth about her as a pharaoh in history and not as a sex symbol, because she really wasn't," she said. "She has been very misunderstood.
"She was very interesting, but she wasn't a great beauty," Miss Jolie said. "She was a very strong mother, she spoke five languages and she was a leader."
The film doesn't hit theaters until 2013, and the director has yet to be confirmed, but Miss Jolie has expressed interest in working with David Fincher of "The Social Network." The male lead is still up in the air as well, but actor Johnny Depp has said he thinks Miss Jolie's beau, Brad Pitt, would be a good fit.
"They're the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton of our era," he said.

Angelina Jolie: Brad Pitt is "a great dad" and "a real gentleman"
"I am very lucky with Brad," she told the paper. "He is a real gentleman, but he is also a real man's man."
"He's got the wonderful balance of being an extraordinary, great, loving father, a very, very intelligent man and physically he's a real man," she added, blushing to the reporter, "in all things that it means."
As for their family (they are parents to Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 2), Jolie said, "When Brad and I decided to have a large family we decided we'd only do it if we could be really hands-on and take the kids with us, seeing them every day. I am always there on weekends, I only ever work a five-day week, and I am often there for breakfast or dinner. When I'm working they come up at lunch."
She added, "It's a special time for Daddy when Mom works for a few months. And Brad is such a great dad. When I'm working he's putting in the extra dad time, and that's special for their relationship, too."
When asked if she and Pitt would marry, she said simply, "We are obviously extremely committed to the children and as parents together."
Jolie, who is currently promoting "Kung Fu Panda 2," is set to take on the title role in a remake of "Cleopatra," to be directed by David Fincher.
"She has been very misunderstood," Jolie said of the historical figure, famously played by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1963 film. "I thought it was all about the glamour, but then I read about her and she was a very strong mother, she spoke five languages and she was a leader."

Exclusive Interview: Brad Pitt reveals new feelings on marriage, children and what keeps him up at night
In the parking lot outside a Los Angeles photo studio, a scruffy-looking guy sporting a goatee, black T-shirt and motorcycle boots sits on the curb puffing a cigarette. He's listening intently to a stylish man rave about a cool camera shop. A passerby would barely notice the pair as they head into the building.
But when the photographer starts shooting, the bearded guy seems to undergo a transformation. Grooving to Jimi Hendrix on the sound system, he assumes an expression of ineffable cool, his posture somewhere between rakish and regal. He radiates glamour by the gigawatt. Suddenly, he's Brad Pitt.
That name, of course, refers to several entities that occupy the same broad-shouldered, 5-foot-11-inch frame. There's the actor, whose talent and charisma draw crowds to movie theaters worldwide. There's the celebrity, twice declared “Sexiest Man Alive” by People magazine, whose private life has been a source of public fascination for more than a decade. There's the Brad Pitt of the past, who has put his stints as a serial romancer of co-stars (Gwyneth Paltrow, Robin Givens, Juliette Lewis) and errant husband of Jennifer Aniston (from whom he was divorced in 2005) far behind him.
Now 47, Pitt is an unabashed family man. Fatherhood is, indeed, his most consuming project: raising an unruly brood of six children ages 2 to 9 — three of them adopted, three biological, born in five different countries — with partner Angelina Jolie. Their effect on Pitt has been, by his own account, profound. He credits parenthood, in great part, for his hard-won maturity.
“Kids hold up a mirror to you,” he says in his first extensive interview since 2009. “You can't make excuses. You've got to make sure they've brushed their teeth and eaten a good breakfast. You want to be present if they wake up with a bad dream.”
The responsibility weighs heavily on the now-middle-aged actor. In a display of emotion any parent would relate to, Pitt says fears about his kids' safety “keep me up at night.”
But unlike in most families, Pitt's worries have an added dimension. “We're hunted,” he says, flexing his tattooed, muscular forearm as if contemplating retaliation. “Our kids have to live behind a gate. Outside, there are people with cameras.
“But I'll take the trade-off. I never knew I was capable of experiencing so much love.”
In his newest movie, the sprawling and poetic Tree of Life — directed by the legendary Terrence Malick and opening in some cities this weekend — Pitt plays a father of three boys in 1950s Texas. (One son grows up to be an architect, played by Sean Penn.) That's fitting: Parenthood is increasingly central to Pitt's sense of self, influencing everything from the movies he chooses to make — “I want to leave some work behind that my kids will be proud of” — to his vision of the future with Jolie.
Though he has said the couple would wait to wed until gay people could do so legally, he now acknowledges that the timetable may change. “The kids ask about marriage,” he says, sinking wearily into a sofa. He takes a sip of cappuccino. “It's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at.”
For all the luxuries Pitt can give his children, he regrets that he can't pass on the freedom he had as a child growing up the eldest of three siblings in Springfield, Mo., where his father owned a trucking company and his mother was a high school counselor.
“On the road, we're a military mobile unit,” he says. “The kids have got their stuff down to one backpack, and they're each responsible for their own bag. Mom does the packing; she's quite gifted at that. Puts in just what we need — nothing extra.”
The family migrates between the multi-house Los Angeles compound he calls “our base camp” and film sets around the globe, spending downtime at a 1,000-acre estate in southern France.
“We're pretty nomadic,” he says. “We go where the crops are.”
Pitt concedes that his family life “seems a bit extreme.” But “I like extremes. I guess I've always operated that way.”
Still, he says, “Angie and I do everything we can to carve out some semblance of normalcy for them, to re-create the kinds of moments that were special for us. It's not unusual for the kids to be covered in paint. We have mud fights. It's chaos from morning until the lights go out, and sometimes after that.”
The older kids are home-schooled, but their parents try to create opportunities to socialize. The family sometimes sneaks past the paparazzi to an undisclosed location for a football game with friends.
Pitt and Jolie carve out time to nurture their own relationship as well.
“There are no secrets at our house,” Pitt says, his blue eyes crinkling in a slightly wicked smile. “We tell the kids, ‘Mom and Dad are going off to kiss.' They go, ‘Eww, gross!' But we demand it.”
As he navigates his fifth decade, Pitt has begun to ponder the long term. “Will I be acting when I'm 80?” he asks rhetorically. “Definitely not.”
A passionate amateur photographer and architect (whose Make It Right foundation is building environmentally sustainable homes in New Orleans for low-income residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina), he aims to explore those vocations more deeply in the coming years. He also wants to improve his French and his cooking skills — now limited to bacon, eggs and flapjacks.
But Pitt won't be trading in biker boots for house slippers anytime soon. “I hope to keep riding motorcycles,” he says with that devilish grin, “until I can't stand up anymore.”
