The experience of a beach holiday comes as a surprise to many visitors. To experience the beach in italy is to find something very different from beach resorts elsewhere in the Mediterranean.

The Med, for so long now a favourite holiday destination with so many. Those of us from the colder parts of northern and continental europe so often look to spain, greece and the various Mediterranean islands for our annual holidays.

In a sense, we like such trips because we know what to expect - great weather, packed beaches and warm seas.

Italian beach holidays, like those experience in the south of france, seem to give many of us different expectations. We expect a holiday in italy to be a rather more classy affair - italy does, after all, rival france for the title of being the most fashionable, glamourous location in europe.

Arriving at an Italian beach for the first time can come as something of a shock. Where many other european beach resorts leave the beaches practically empty, allowing you and your family to find a suitable spot, things are rather different in italy.

You'll almost certainly find the beach almost covered with sun loungers, deckchairs and sunshades. Welcome to the concept of the bathing station.

People here are used to paying for their spot on the beach, which may come as a cultural shock for many of us. You'll find that you pay more to spend your day towards the front of the beach, closest to the sea.

Where other beaches may see visitors playing games and splashing around in the sea, Italian beaches seem to have a more relaxed air.

Welcome to a different kind of beach holiday.

fifa vice-president Jack Warner will very likely drop his planned legal action against the authors of a report and some fifa officials.

A report conducted by the auditors of fifa, Ernst and Young, alleged that Trinidadian Warner and his son had been involved in world Cup ticketing scams. By abandoning his intentions to sue fifa will escape an embarrassing public affair.

According to the report he and his family are accused of selling world Cup tickets for much more than face value. The report linked the company Simpaul Travel, run by Warner's son Daryan, to thousands of tickets for games involving England, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico and Japan at the world Cup. The Ernst & Young report shows 900 tickets for England matches, 1,500 for Mexico games and 3,000 for Japan were obtained by the Warners and sold through the travel company which had exclusive rights in the Caribbean to ticket- and-hotel packages worth more than $1 million.

Another report conducted by a lawyer, Collins, accused Ernst and Young of containing incomplete information and drawing false conclusions. Warner wanted to use the Collins report to sue. Finally he accepted to stop his legal action according to a compromise found with fifa representative. Warner will let FIFA's internal disciplinary committee decide the matter.

Lo carb diets are the newest dieting trend, and seem to be effective. Here are some tips for following a balanced lo carb diet:

Eat more fruit and vegetables, aiming for at least five portions a day. Include fruit at breakfast and salad at lunch. Reduce the amount of salt by eating less processed food, such as ready meals, and adding a smaller amount of salt to food. Eat a varied diet. Change your shopping list every week to help keep you out of unhealthy food ruts and make eating more enjoyable. Eat regular meals - although it doesn't matter when you eat your food, a consistent schedule helps most people to control their diet and their weight. control your portion sizes so that over time, if not necessarily every day, the amount of energy you consume matches your level of activity. Try to be more physically active. Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity on most days of the week. Activity helps to regulate your appetite, and means that you can eat more without gaining weight. Drink alcohol only within sensible limits: not more than 14 units per week for women, and no more than three in any one day, and not more than 21 units per week for men, and no more than four in any one day.

The current most popular fad diet is the Lo Carb or atkins diet. It restricts carbohydrate rich foods, thereby restricting total daily calories. Phase One of the four in the atkins diet consists of between 1400 to 1500 total daily calories. The average adult female consumes around 2200 calories daily and the average adult male consumes around 2800 calories daily. Almost any adult will lose weight if they consume 800 to 1300 fewer calories daily. Phase One of the atkins diet also restricts carbohydrate intake to only 20 grams of net carbohydrates daily. The definition of net carbohydrates is total grams of carbohydrates per serving minus dietary fibre per serving. Dietary fibre is the non-digestible remains of plant products found in beans, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

Carbohydrates are the bodys preferred fuel source. In the near future there will be a recommended dietary allowance, or R.D.A., for carbohydrates of 130 grams daily. 130 grams of carbohydrates our body needs daily is for the proper functioning of the central nervous system and production of red blood cells. Only during Phase Four of the atkins diet are participants allowed up to 120 grams of net carbohydrate daily. Low carbohydrate diets are nothing new, they have been around since the 1860s and the atkins Diet first came out in the early 1970s.

most nutrition experts agree that to be successful in weight loss a person needs to keep the weight off for 5 years. Over 90% of people who take weight off through a fad diet like the atkins diet gain the weight back in less than one year. Participants on the atkins diet lose between 10 to 12 pounds in the first several weeks but this is only water loss, not fat. One pound of fat contains 3500 calories. Therefore to lose 10 pounds of fat in several weeks you would need to consume 35,000 fewer calories or burn 35,000 calories more through exercise. Neither is likely to happen.

So, the best way to lose weight and become more healthy is to eat a balanced diet. Dont cut out all your carbs, but dont go overboard with them either. In addition to eating well, exercise in a proportional amount to what you are eating. Exercising too much is as bad as exercising too little.
