FIVE LITTLE THINGS THAT PREVENT YOU FROM LOSING WEIGHT:
It’s a lot easier to lose weight when your body is burning fat as quickly as possible, and that means increasing your metabolism. So here are five little things you might be doing that slow down your metabolism and prevent you from losing weight . . .
#1.) YOU DON’T EAT ENOUGH. If your body doesn’t get enough calories, it stops burning fat and starts burning muscle. So if you’re trying to lose weight, eat every three to four hours, and eat just enough so you’re not hungry.
#2.) YOU DRINK YOUR WATER AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. Researchers in Germany found that drinking six glasses of COLD water a day raises your metabolism and burns about 50 calories. That’s enough to lose five pounds a year.
–It happens because your body uses energy to heat the water up until it’s at body temperature, which is 98.6 degrees.
#3.) YOU AVOID CAFFEINE. A cup of coffee actually boosts your metabolism by five to eight percent and helps you burn about 150 more calories throughout the day.
–But a Caffe Mocha at Starbucks has 260 calories. So if you’re on a diet, stick with regular coffee. Without crème and sugar, it only has FIVE calories.
#4.) YOU DON’T DRINK MILK. If you drink too much WHOLE milk, you’ll gain weight. But more and more research shows that if you don’t get enough calcium, it slows down your metabolism. SKIM milk has the calcium, but not the fat.
#5.) YOU DRINK TOO MUCH ALCOHOL. Booze makes you burn less fat because the alcohol is used as fuel instead. Drinking the equivalent of two martinis can reduce your metabolism by up to 73%. (Prevention.com)

DAMN SON: R.I.P COREY HAIM
The 1980s child star Corey Haim has been found dead in Los Angeles, Fox News confirms.
The actor was 38.
The LAPD said his death appeared to be an accidental drug overdose, and an investigation is underway.
Haim is most famous for his roles in the 1980s films “License To Drive” and “The Lost Boys.” Haim and actor Corey Feldman starred in several popular films together, including “License To Drive” and “Dream a Little Dream,” and became one of the hottest actor teams in Hollywood.
Haim’s drug abuse took over his life and helped ruin his career.
He made a comeback in 2006 in the reality series “The Two Coreys” with Corey Feldman. The successful show lasted two seasons, but Feldman said he refused to do a third season because of Haim’s continued drug use.
DMX: ARRESTED AGAIN!
2010 is already more than two months old . . . and up through Monday, it was still without its first DMX arrest. Well, that changed yesterday morning.
–DMX was arrested in Arizona, after he allegedly told his probation officer that he’s been using cocaine, which . . . of course . . . violates the terms of his probation.
–According to E! Online, that wasn’t all DMX told his probation officer. He also reportedly copped to a bunch of other things that generally don’t comply with the court-ordered rules he has to stick to. (–Sadly, no specifics there.)
–All in all, X was booked on FIVE counts of probation violation, and is being held without bond. He had a preliminary hearing last night . . . and according to TMZ, he used that opportunity to shout some expletives in court.
–DMX’s lawyer-of-the-moment, Gary Jenkins, says, quote, “He’s been battling addiction for some time and he’s in need of treatment. We’re hoping that maybe Dr. Drew might be able to help him.” (–Yeah . . . that sounds about right.)
–Also, there’s even MORE good news for fans of DMX’s sensational legal troubles. (???) His wife, Tashera Simmons, has decided to write a “tell-all” book about her life with DMX.
–It’ll be called “Strength of a Woman”. There’s no release date yet.

A BRITISH GUY COMMITTED SUICIDE BY REPEATEDLY STABBING HIMSELF IN THE GROIN WITH AN OVERSIZED NOVELTY PENCIL:
Obviously, there’s no GOOD way to die. But some ways are clearly better than others, and THIS isn’t one of them . . .
–Last September, police discovered the dead body of 57-year-old Jeffery Burton in the living room of his home in St. Leonards, England (–about 65 miles southeast of London).
–He was wearing only his underwear, he had a deep gash in his upper thigh, and he was lying next to a bloody, oversized NOVELTY PENCIL.
–According to police, the working theory is that Jeffrey committed suicide by repeatedly stabbing himself in the CROTCH with the pencil. (???)
–The county coroner says, quote, “It’s a mystery to me. If you were choosing to take your own life, that’s not the way you would do it.
–”It seems to me that it can’t have been a single stab wound. He seems to have worked on it. The pencil was blunt.”
–Jeffrey’s sister, Patricia, says the pencil had sentimental value because it used to belong to their late mother.
–But in the weeks before his death, Jeffrey seemed sociable and healthy, and she has no idea why he took his life . . . especially in such a gruesome and painful way. (Mirror)
