The Cardiac Diet

So I really need to drop a few KG's so I yesterday I started the Cardiac Diet and I have to say I woke up feeling alot lighter.

The Cardiac Diet is used for heart patients who need to loose weight rapidly before having 
surgery. 

In 3 days you can loose as much as 4.5kgs.

I am trialling this diet, so I thought I would publish it, but if you decide to do this, you do it at your own risk. I researched it on the internet before I started it and I thought it would be suitable for me, you should do the same.

A few things before starting:

1. You must use this diet for 3 consecutive days per week and then after 3 days of dieting, you can eat your usual food

2. Drink alot of water

3.Don't over exercise

4. Do not snack

5. Consult your doctor first or do this at your own risk

6. Follow the diet exactly the way it is, do not vary it

7. Only use the diet for 3 days and then take 3 days off - you must take a break

Here it is:

Day One

·         Breakfast-Coffee or tea, one piece of toast with one tablespoon of peanut butter, and a half of a grapefruit.

·         Lunch-Five crackers and one-half cup of tuna, coffee or tea.

·         Supper-Three ounces of meat, one cup of green beans, one cup of carrots, one small apple, one-half cup of vanilla ice cream, coffee or tea.

 Day Two

·         Breakfast-Coffee or tea, one boiled egg, one piece of toast, one small apple.

·         Lunch-Once piece of toast and one-half cup of tuna or crackers with cottage chees, coffee or tea.

·         Supper- Three ounces of meat, one cup of green beans or broccoli, one cup of carrots, one small apple, one-half cup of vanilla ice cream, coffee or tea.

Day Three

·         Lunch- Once piece of toast or slice of cheese and one-half cup of tuna, coffee or tea

Product Review - Dove Pure aerosol deodorant

It has been a while since I have reviewed a product but I had to review Dove Pure Deodorant.


I have overly sensitive skin, it reacts to everything. So I had try this new antiperspirant from Dove, as it is specifically designed for sensitive skin.


Here's my review:

Dove Pure roll on & aerosol deodorant

THE TEXTURE:  Light spray

KEY INGREDIENTS: 
► No fragrance, No parabens, No colourants, No alcohol, 1/4 moisturising cream,

It claims to do this: Dove’s Pure deodorant has 1/4 moisturising cream to actively helps skin put back what shaving takes out. With no unnecessary ingredients, Dove Pure contains nothing more than you need to keep your skin healthy. Dove Pure provides 48-hour protection.

On my skin, It actually does this: It sprays on lightly and has a really beautiful smell. I had absolutely NO reaction to Dove Pure Aerosol (I don't use roll ons) after trialing it for 1 week.

Dove Pure lasted for 24 hours and felt smooth on my skin.

Dove Pure did leave white marks on my clothes but that was a small price to pay for comfort and confidence.

Dove Pure deodorant last longs and smells good and it does not irritate my sensitive skin.  

I love Dove Pure deodorant. It is my new deodorant. 

RATING: ★★★★★

PRICE: DOVE PURE AEROSOL RRP $5.25 DOVE ROLL ON RRP $3.89

AVAILABLE: From all good grocery and pharmacy stores
