Trying to lose weight doesn’t mean that you go off indulging yourself. Because if you always do that you might end up bingeing.

If you are making yourself turn away from the sinful stuff you love all the time, you may feel deprived. And if you feel deprived, you may overeat. An expert recommends an 80/20 balance: Eat healthy foods 80% of the time and whatever you love to eat the remaining 20%. Eat out at a restaurant once in a while and don’t worry about the consequences, because they will be good.

Experts also recommend having one cheat meal a week, as it boosts the metabolism. When calories are reduced, the body adapts and lowers the metabolism as a survival mechanism. A weekly “cheat meal” prevents hunger and cravings from becoming uncontrollable, and refurbishes the muscles’ energy stores, which helps to keep pace with workouts.

While it may be nice to welcome back another trend, which is said to bring an overall eye-brightening effect, we have to be very careful about this look. A DIY will be tricky if you don’t have a practised hand. Entire eyebrows have been tweezed off in order to keep the balance between the two all right.

And extreme thinness and a high arch may also produce an aggressive, even scary look. Broader, natural brows create a softer look. Think how many evil queens from Disney come with thin eyebrows.
