There are some foods, which will raise the body’s temperature more than other foods and will help you burn fat.

1. By creating heat and speeding up the metabolism
When your body temperature increases, your metabolism will also speed up, thereby helping your bodyburn calories. There are some foods, which will raise the body’s temperature more than other foods and will help you burn fat.
Foods that increase our body temperature:
Chillies
Jalapenos
Cinnamon, a fat burning spice: 1/2 tsp in powdered form can be added to either tea/coffee/cereal or low fat milk

2. Reducing calorie intake by digestion
Some foods reduce the amount of calories that you absorb, due to their high fibre content. Fibre is excellent for digestion and moves food faster through the digestive tract, meaning fewer calories are absorbed.
It is important to drink plenty of water when you increase your fibre content, or it can  cause build up in your intestine leading to constipation.

Being experimental and adventurous in bed is a trait most men look for in their women. You don’t have to force yourself to bring out the whips and costumes if you’re not into that kind of stuff but don’t say no to everything without even trying it.

1. Outside the room
Being the best isn’t only about what you do in bed, but also what you do out of bed. For a steamy night, start by spicing things up outside the bedroom. When he’s at work, text him a naughty message that will drop a hint about what he should expect when he gets home or go out for a romantic dinner. If he’s had a long day, treat him to a sensual massage. The little sexy things you do outside the bedroom count in a big way.
2. Don’t be afraid to experiment
Being experimental and adventurous in bed is a trait most men look for in their women. You don’t have to force yourself to bring out the whips and costumes if you’re not into that kind of stuff but don’t say no to everything without even trying it. You could start with subtle stuff like blindfolds and massage oils. He will appreciate the effort and will have a hard time forgetting the sexy night.
3. Get wet, go!
When we talk about sex, wetter is better. Don’t be afraid to use lubricant to make things better in the bedroom. Lubricants enhance sensation and make things under the sheet more pleasurable. You could use some lube while giving him a hand job too. Trust us, he will love you for this.

From a female LIB reader

I have been in a relationship with my man for about 18 months. When I first met him, I never thought anything would come off it. I typically brushed him aside and never gave him too much thought as he is very physically different than what I am usually attracted to in a man. With time, I slowly realized that his character and personality is everything I have ever hoped, dreamed and fantasized about. No kidding. I decided to give us a chance. It has been 18 months now and he has started talking about long term plans i.e getting married. The problem is, whenever I meet or come across anyone with the physical attributes I am attracted to, I start to second guess the whole relationship as I sometimes lust after people who possess these physical attributes. I really can’t help it. I do not want to cheat on this man if we eventually get married but I fear this may happen. I really love this man but this is too confusing. Has anyone ever experienced this dilemma? How did you handle it? How much does physical appearance play in the long run (i.e after you are married)? Reasonable responses please.

He said his NGO, SA Virgin Girls Awards, which was registered in November 2013, is set to take on this task as he has recruited 31 volunteer workers who would help disburse forms among women in schools, market, churches and other places.

It’s hard to believe, but studies reveal that women fantasise more during sex than men. The more time a woman spends fantasising about doing the deed, the more sexual pleasure she is capable of receiving and giving.

1. Studies reveal that the male organ can be slightly bent when erect. So don’t freak out the next time your man is sporting something hard and something slightly bent.
2. Want to get fit and that too quickly? Make love as often as you can. Women burn more calories while doing the deed than hitting the gym for hours. So the next time instead of splurging on gym swear, get some sexy lingerie.
3. An orgasm is the best natural sedative. So next time you are tired and want to sleep long, just have sex until you climax
4. Orgasms can make you more creative. And a little more creativity never hurts, right? So try and seduce your man for more orgasms.
5. Blue balls are for real. It is not just a term, but actually can happen. When more blood flows into the male organ than out, the uneven flow causes an increase in the volume of blood in the genital region. It results in testicles becoming engorged with blood.

Her words to women;

Some of us complain of problems in marriage and some are down with one sickness or the other simply because we don’t want to overlook those irrelevant things.

Why on earth should a woman carry the husband’s phone when he is in the bathroom just because she wants to catch him in his sexcapades?

Why create time just to drive around town looking for where his car is parked? Why liaise with your female friends to get him caught when some of them are after him and ready to take him from you? Na high blood pressure you wan give yourself so. Continue after the cut.

We wonder what was going on in  Davido’s head when he saw his alleged baby mama’s rant on Instagram.

Months ago, social media had gone into overdrive after several blogs implied that the Aye singer was expecting a set of twins with a 23-year-old UK based model of Cuban and Jamaican descent who had supposedly claimed that Davido was responsible for her pregnancy - an allegation which the singer denied.

Well, miss Haye must have had it with social media as she took to Instagram to rant about her present predicament, throwing more confusion into the story by claiming that she had nothing to do with Davido.
