Okay, there is not in fact an official ‘Michael Jackson’ diet but his lifestyle is worth knowing about if you are interested in losing weight. There are two basic principles to follow if you want to attain the physique of that lean, mean, dancing machine who was (and still is) the King of Pop.

1. Eat healthy – in Michael Jackson’s case, this meant vegetarian. That doesn’t mean you have to cut out all animal products altogether (which is vegan). But Michael Jackson diet rules included vegetarianism. What does that mean for weight loss?

Well, a vegetarian diet is typically higher in fibre and water, because more of your protein comes from nuts, beans and grains in combinations to provide excellent low-fat nutrition. That helps with weight loss by
* making you feel fuller for longer so you can eat less,
* keeping your blood-sugar levels steady for more sustained energy,
* removing toxins from the body that can inhibit weight-loss,
* and even carrying a certain amount of fat undigested through the system so it never enters the ‘weight-gain equation’ at all.

2. Exercise as much as you possibly can every day. That’s right! Michael Jackson rehearsed for concerts and performances for five hours or so each day, according to his personal trainer recently. He was in excellent physical shape. So a ‘Michael Jackson diet’ is not just about eating healthily but also about burning off large quantities of energy.

For you, it might not be possible to fit in a 5-hour dance rehearsal each day of the working week. But think about this: if you really took every possible opportunity you could to use your body energetically, how much exercise could you fit in?
* Don’t just take the stairs – run up as many of them as you can. (Maybe even do one flight at the top twice, just for fun.)
* Bicycle to work even when it’s raining. (More exercise available by carrying a change of clothes.)
* Dance to your ipod for five minutes during your coffee break.

You get the idea. As much exercise as possible.

The two basic principles of eat healthy, exercise often are the fundamental principles of an energetic, slim physique. That is certainly something we remember about Michael Jackson. So even if the only way you commemorate him is by adopting a ‘Michael Jackson diet’ to lose a few pounds and look good on the dance-floor, perhaps that is what would make him happiest.

Step 1: Dont write a love poem
Love is one of the most common themes of poetry, which makes it one of the most difficult to write about. Nearly everything to be said and written about love has already been said and written, many times over. The greatest masters of lyric and poetry have tackled this theme again and again. But dont be discouraged. You can still write a good, unique, original love poem. But first you must push the generic idea of the “love poem” out of your head. Forget it entirely. Focus on what it is specifically about love that you want to write. Write about a person, an experience, any knowledge you have gained from your own life, and how this relates to love. Writing directly about capital-L Love is too vague, too general for all but the most skilled of poets. If you come at it from another angle, youll find it much easier to capture.

Step 2: Avoid clichs
This cannot be stressed enough. Unless you are dancing the razor-fine line of a satire, clichs should not appear in your poem. Keeping them out is more difficult than you might think. Clichs are what they are because of common usage, therefore they tend to be the first things to jump into our minds when searching for a description. Because we hear them so often, theyre easy to accept because they “sound right.” But dont confuse “right” with “familiar.” When editing your poem, go through the lines carefully and make note of anything that seems like you may have heard it used somewhere else before. A good way to check is to copy the suspected clich and paste it, in quotes, into Google or another search engine. (ex: “as red as a rose” or “eyes like fire”) See how many matches appear. If the number is really big, consider re-writing that line.

Step 3: Make it Unique
One of the keys to a successful poem is making it unique. You want your poem to stand out from the others. You want your reader to slow down and consider your poem, not roll their eyes and say, “Oh brother, not another one!” This is also why step one is to avoid focusing on a general theme. Ask yourself, how is this love poem different from the thousands of others out in the world? Draw on personal experience, the individuality of situations, time and place. Sure, millions of others have fallen in love, but how many have done so with a girl in a red jacket at the corner of the playground in rural Wisconsin? Hearts have broken the world over, but how many of them have realized it in the center of that crowded caf on 21st and Main, or assuaged their pain standing at that special bench looking over the river at dusk? Everyone shares similar experiences, yet everyone is unique. Make your poem as individual as you are.

Step 4: Use Imagery
One poem is like any other in that it still requires certain poetic elements to make it really shine. Use the senses to describe the look, feel, sound, smell and taste of love. Love connects to all varieties of emotion. With strong, vivid imagery, you can bring any of those emotions to life for the reader.

If you have been watching too many channels of late, then chances are that you will be tired of seeing orchestrated shows with nothing new. Reality shows are a lot different. It will actually be a refreshing change where you can relate it to your own lifestyle. No makeovers, no silly settingseverything real almost. If you thought that reality shows have all been made as the events uncovered, then you are mistaken. Some channels will fake that too and pass it off as real. But nevertheless they can be refreshing for some of us. The only thing that you can sure is real, is the news channels. As for the rest you will need to take it with a pinch of salt.

Come on, everyone can agree that not all reality shows are classy sources of entertainment and theyre mostly not informative. But still there are dozens of new reality shows coming up every month. How is that they get produced every so often? Its not completely about viewer statistics. Reality shows dont require huge budgets to produce as compared to prime time drama shows. While as drama shows need expensive sets, an all star cast and brilliant story writers (who also need good money) to achieve prime time success; reality shows need none of that. They just need a dirty plot, interesting characters and theyre off to make a commercial success. Every Jane, Sam and Lucy loves a bit of drama and its all the more interesting if youre made to believe its real.

Now everyone is behind reality shows. Reality shows help people to show their true talent to the world. Most of the upcoming dance artists are the product of reality shows. As there is no gender differentiation, everyone will get equal opportunity to showcase their talents. Dancing with the Stars is one of the popular dance reality shows airing on ABC in the United States. In this dance show, celebrities will pair with professional ballroom dancers in live contests. So You Think You Can Dance is the other hit reality dance competition that is searching for blooming dancing talents. Dance reality shows encourage audience to dance with the contestants. So everyone is enjoying dance reality shows in their own ways.

With the reality shows picking up so much in the commercial industry, fashion is not far behind.

Nowadays, there are so many reality shows for young talents to be recognized. There used to be a time when a handful of fashion designers ruling the fashion industries, thanks to the invention of reality show this scenario is slowly changing. Be it for clothes, jewelry or even make-up, young designers are encouraged to show case their talents. And the final winner is chosen meticulously without being lenient and with so many rounds that even an amateur designer becomes a professional by the time he leaves the show winner or not.

The basic disadvantage of reality shows is that nowadays it is becoming less reality based. The basic aim of majority of reality shows is to earn profit rather than to develop and harness the qualities of talented people. Whether it is dancing or singing, most of them are only interested in getting ratings and advertisements for the shows. They dont care about the emotional feeling of the contestants. It creates a lot of stress among contestant as they must have practiced and put their heart and one single comment and score from the judges can demoralize them. As we all know it is very difficult to get into the good books of judges. Especially for children and teenagers, reality shows makes them depressed and emotionally strained.

With the advancement of technologies and with the introductions of the high definition TV, reality shows have moved away long. While most of the reality shows are entertainment based and these programs portray music and dance. There are reality shows on personal development aspects, counseling, celebrity shows and so on.
