Proper Table Settings

Proper table settings What goes where on the table and which glasses go with what drinks Real easy to remember, the etiquette experts tell us. The general rule with utensils is to start from the outside of your place setting, and work your way toward the service plate (the main meal plate): soup spoon first, then fish knife and fork, then service knife and fork. Proper arranging dining room sets with chairs at the end of the table for the host and hostess is another aspect. When to start eating: Despite what mother told you, culinary experts say you do not always have to wait for everyone to begin – start eating hot food when it is served. For cold foods or buffets, wait for the host to announce dinner and wait until the head guest starts dishing. The correct table settings

A B C D E Serviette (napkin) Service plate Soup bowl on plate Bread & butter plate with butter knife Water glass F G H I J White wine Red wine Fish fork Dinner Fork Salad fork K L M N Service knife Fish knife Soup spoon Dessert spoon and cake fork Note that it often is recommended that the salad fork (J) is placed to the left of the dinner fork (I). However, in this formal setting the dinner fork is placed to be used before the salad fork because it is suggested that the guest awaits the main meal before helping him/herself to the salad. Foods you can get by hand: 1. Bread: break slices of bread, rolls and muffins in half or into small pieces by hand before buttering. 2. Bacon: if there’s fat on it, eat it with a knife and fork. If it is crisp, crumble it with a fork and eat with your fingers. 3. Finger meals: follow the cue of your host. If finger meals are offered on a platter, place them on your plate before putting them into your mouth. 4. Foods meant to be eaten by hand: corn on the cob, spareribs, lobster, clams and oysters on the half shell, chicken wings and bones (in informal situations), sandwiches, certain fruits, olives, celery, dry cakes and cookies. Removing inedible items from your mouth: 1. Olive pits: drop delicately into your palm before putting them onto your plate. 2. Chicken bone: use your fork to return it to the plate. 3. Fish bones: remove with your fingers. 4. Bigger pieces: bigger bones or food you don’t appreciate you should surreptitiously spit into your serviette (napkin), so that you can keep it out of sight. Which glasses go with what drinks Wine connoisseurs agree that each type of wine needs a particular type of glass to bring out the distinctive bouquet. Using a narrow glass for a rich Burgundy, for example, won’t allow enough room to swirl it around in, and it’s the swirl that brings out its bouquet. The glass also needs to taper properly toward the top so that it captures the bouquet yet allows for sipping. In general, the stem of a glass should be long enough to keep hands from touching the bowl, which can affect the wine’s temperature, and therefor its bouquet.

Water | Brandy | White wine | Pinor Noir/Burgundy | Sparkling wine | Red wine a. Water: full body glass with short stem. Hold the glass by the stem to preserve its chill. b. Brandy: brandy snifter. Roll the snifter between both hands and then cup it in one hand – warming the glass brings out the bouquet in brandy. c. White wine: slightly smaller glass with wider bowl to capture the bouquet. Hold the glass by the stem to preserve its chill. d. Burgundy Reds and Pinot Noirs: a wide bowl to bring out their complexity. The glass is slightly taller than the white wine glass. e. Champagne: a narrow fluted glass, which reduces the wine’s surface area and keep the bubbles from dissipating. f. Red wine: the bigger of the wine glasses. Hold the glass at the bottom of the bowl where it meets the stem. Bon appetit! Now that you have the correct table setting and the proper wine glasses, see which wines go best with what food, and then make sure you have the right person to share it with! Did you know? Wine is sold in tinted bottles because wine spoils when exposed to light. And the indentation at the bottom of the bottle strengthens the structure of the bottle but also is there to trap the sediments.

50 habits of thin people

1. Wake-up workout When your eyes open, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, lean forward until you feel a gentle stretch in your back and hamstrings. Hold; then, using your abs, lower yourself flat. Rest and repeat two more times. Strengthens core. Burns 10 calories 2. Go for the grains Not ready for Twigs & Rocks cereal? Sprinkle on a few tablespoons of wheat germ or oat bran. Work up to 3/4 cup of low-sugar whole-grain cereal with at least three grams of fiber per serving, and you’ll pass on that Danish. Saves 100 3. Add some protein The more you eat earlier on, the less you eat as the day wears on, research has shown. So after your cereal, add a hard-boiled egg or a part-skim mozzarella cheese stick to keep you feeling full — and away from that pre-lunch brownie. Saves 200 (or more) 4. Balance booster While you brush your teeth, alternate standing on one leg as you switch mouth quadrants (every 30 seconds). Balancing develops your core muscles and may even be good for your brain. Burns 10 5. Be a ballerina As your coffee drips, stand sideways, put one hand on the counter, and lift the outside leg straight out in front of you, keeping it extended. With upper body straight, hold for a few seconds and move it to the side; hold and extend it behind you. Do five to ten times on each leg. Tones outer thighs, hip flexors and quadriceps. Burns 10 6. Coffee saver Instead of pouring that 1/3 cup of half-and-half (a whopping 105 calories!) into your mug, replace it with the same amount of 2% milk. Saves 60 7. Better your bagel You can walk 10,000 steps to justify your 500-calorie bagel with cream cheese, or try this: low-fat spreadable cheese like Laughing Cow Light on an English muffin. Saves 300 Nine-to-Five Fixes 8. Tone in traffic Use the time spent bumper-to-bumper to develop your buns of steel: Squeeze your derrière each time you tap the brake, holding for 10 seconds. Shoot for 10 to 15 squeezes a trip. Burns 10 9. Snack smarter Portion out the day’s snacks into pint-size zip bags, or buy single-serving portions. For example, four regular Oreos have 200 calories versus the 100-calorie snack bag version. Go for the lower fat chips: a Lay’s Light bag has only 75 calories, while the regular has 150. Saves 175 (over two snacks) 10. Casual day payoff You will blast more calories during the day wearing comfy clothes like jeans or khakis, sport shirts and soft-soled shoes than donning constricting suits, skirts and heels. Why? Because you walk more, a study found. Now you just have to convince the boss. Burns 25 11. You know squat! At your desk chair, pretend you’re going to sit but don’t — stop and come back up without using your arms. Always start squats by lowering your hips, not bending knees forward, and keeping your weight on your heels. Repeat the motion throughout the day (even at the potty!) for 15 to 20 total. Strengthens quadriceps. Burns 15 12. Switch your soda Your body doesn’t register calories from liquids the same way it does those from foods, so you won’t get those “stop eating” signals to help you compensate for the overload later on. Change from two glasses of regular soda or fruit juice to diet soda or a flavored seltzer. Saves 300 13. Talk it up Every time you grab the phone, stand up and pace around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more per day than thin people, according to the Mayo Clinic. Burns 50 or more 14. At lunch, pick a pita Use one mini whole-wheat pita instead of the usual two slices of white or refined wheat bread for your sandwich. Saves 70 15. Get face time We use e-mail so much we’ve forgotten what our co-workers look like. Pick a colleague or two who sits farthest from you and deliver 10 of those daily messages in person. And go out of your way: Hit a bathroom or a copier on another floor — and take the stairs, of course. Burns 100 16. Firm as you file Pause from your papers with a few wall push-ups. Place hands wide at shoulder height against the wall. Take a couple of steps back so your body is at a slight angle and your weight is on your toes, and do three sets of 10 push-ups. Strengthens chest and triceps. Burns 10 17. An apple (or more) a day They’re packed with fiber and water, so your stomach will want less. Plus, studies out of Washington State and Brazil have shown that people who eat at least three apples or pears a day lose weight. Try two small apples and two fewer large cookies. Saves 100 18. Try a simple chair workout Dips: If your chair has wheels, brace it against something. Facing forward, place palms on the front edge of the seat with knees bent at a right angle. Lower butt toward the floor; raise and repeat for two sets of 10. Tones triceps. Burns 10 Lifts: Seated in a chair with your back straight and your feet on the floor, squeeze knees together and gently bring them toward your chest. Do two sets of ten. Strengthens abdominals. Burns 10 19. Carry some weight When you’re grocery shopping or running errands, wear a backpack with a 5-or 10-pound bag of sugar inside to increase resistance and burn more calories. Add purchases to your load as it becomes easier. Burns 20 (for an hour of errands) 20. Tweak your treat Instead of a large caffè latte and a chocolate cream-cheese muffin, get a small nonfat latte and a small low-fat raisin or carrot muffin. Saves 340 21. Pump at the pump Instead of fuming over gas prices, think about firming your calves: With one hand on your car, stand on the balls of your feet and slowly rise up and down for as long as it takes your tank to fill — for an SUV that might be 50 raises! Burns 10 22. Do the pizza pat Blot your slice with a napkin to cut anywhere from a teaspoon to a tablespoon of grease — and calories. Saves 50-100 23. Shop till the pounds drop At the mall, try on at least ten outfits, both pants and shirts. No need to buy! Burns 60 24. Eat like a kid You don’t have to give up that quick lunch if you order smaller portions: Instead of a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and large fries, opt for the cheeseburger Happy Meal. You can even play with the toy. Saves 390 25. Recharge yourself Anytime you’re waiting in line, stand evenly on both feet, clasp hands behind your back and squeeze shoulder blades together to open your chest, an energizing yoga-based move that stimulates the nervous system. Hold for 10 to 20 seconds while slowly breathing in and out, taking longer on the inhale. Burns 5 On the Home Front 26. Jog for junk mail Turn clutter into a challenge: For every piece of junk mail you pull from the mailbox each day, do one lap around your house or building, or up and down a flight of stairs. Burns 35-140 27. Use better butter No, you don’t have to give up the real deal — instead of a tablespoon of stick butter, use a tablespoon of whipped and cut half the calories. Saves 30 28. Step on it Before you lug those backpacks upstairs, stop and stand on the bottom step for these calf toners. Hold the banister with one hand. Bend your right leg and place the toes of your left foot on the edge of the step. Let your heel drop down, press into the ball of your left foot and rise to your toes. Pause; repeat with each foot for 8 to 12 reps. Burns 10 29. Start with soup Order a clear soup instead of a salad soaked with two tablespoons full-fat ranch and you can save twice the calories. Plus you’ll feel fuller, so you’ll eat less when the entrée comes. Saves 100 30. Play footsie After dinner, while you’re still sitting at the table, extend your right leg out and slowly bend it up and down, squeezing and holding in the up position for at least five seconds. Repeat on each leg five times. Sculpts quadriceps. Burns 10 31. Make perfect pasta Substitute whole-grain pasta for semolina and you’ll be satisfied with a smaller portion (1.5 ounces instead of 2). Saves 50. Or use the same amount of oat-bran pasta. Saves 90 32. Climb up! Taking the stairs for a total of just two minutes, five days a week, gives you the same calorie-burning results as a 20-minute walk. Burns 100-140 33. Fill up with fruit Like pie? Here’s how you can cave to the craving: Sprinkle fresh fruit — some cut-up apple, pear or a handful of cherries — with some Splenda or Equal, cover and nuke for a minute or so. Tastes just like pie filling. Saves 275 34. Have your cake Pick up an angel food cake for dessert. It’s packed with air and has fewer than half the calories of, say, pound cake. Saves 70 35. Ease into evening Sitting with feet uncrossed, grab your wrist and raise your hands above your head to lengthen the spine. Take a deep breath in as you reach and hold the position, breathing slowly in and out for 20 seconds, taking longer on the exhale. Instant relaxation. Burns 5 36. Get your chocolate fix Instead of a candy bar, try a sugar-free, reduced-calorie Jell-O chocolate pudding snack with a squirt of nonfat whipped cream topping. Eat it with a baby spoon to savor it longer. Saves 185 37. Crunch for your clicker The average half-hour TV show has eight minutes of commercials. Make reaching for the remote control worth it: Place it out of reach on the coffee table or, if you’re lying down, on the opposite arm of the couch. Every time an ad comes on and you reach for the remote, crunch until the show comes back on; you should reach 100-150 or so. Tones abs. Burns 24 38. Lift those hips Before you tuck yourself in, lie on your back on the floor with your legs up on the edge of the bed or a chair. Slowly bend your knees, lifting your hips off the floor. Hold for five seconds, relax and repeat 10 to 12 times. Firms up hamstrings and core. Burns 10 The Weekend 39. Sing a song Spend Sunday morning belting it out in the church choir. Burns 70 per service 40. Make it bacon At the diner, order three slices of crisp bacon instead of two sausage links, and pat off the extra grease. Saves 90 41. Move it, Soccer Parents! After every quarter of the game, get up from the bleachers and take a lap around the gym or field. Four or five times around a typical one is about a mile. Burns 75 42. Movie time Most people eat 45% more popcorn from large-size containers, so make sure you get only a small and skip the butter, which adds more calories than the popcorn itself. Bring your own seasoned salt or Parmesan cheese for more flavor. Saves 350 43. Orient yourself At Chinese restaurants, be sure to avoid anything named General Tso or Crispy, which means fried.

Cut the cheese Order your pizza with half the cheese or even cheese-less, and then sprinkle with a few tablespoons of Parmesan. Saves 100 46. Have a hot dog! Pile on the pickles, onions and sauerkraut — these fiber-packed condiments will fill you up and prevent you from eating a second dog. Skip the cheese and chili. Saves 250 47.

Formatos

Corpo Retângulo:


As mulheres com esse tipo físico, são mulheres cujos ombros, cintura e os quadris estão na mesma medida, portanto, elas precisam necessariamente criar uma cintura.




O que ajuda?

- Casacos e Jaquetas com pences, que deixam a roupa mais fina na cintura;
- Calças sem pregas, para não causar mais volume na cintura;
- Calças com cortes retos e afunilados, ou até com a boca um pouco mais larga;
- Cinto ou Faixas sobre a roupa (as faixas e gravatas estão em alta). Dê preferência para cores escuras, já que estas emagrecem. Porém, se tiver um pouco de barriga, prefira não usa-los.
- Blazer: procure aqueles com cintos no mesmo tecido, ou também, aqueles que tenham pences, de modo a ficarem acinturados.
- Use cintos da mesma cor da calça, em tom escuro, já que isso dá uma impressão visual de que a cintura diminuiu.
- Procure chamar a atenção para o colo, desviando a atenção da cintura. Use e abuse de decotes, brincos, colares. Os melhores decotes são os em formato "V", "U" ou canoa.
- Uma boa sugestão para quem gosta de saias, são as evasês (que estão na moda), ou saias curtas (que virão forte nessa estação).
- Para quem gosta, o corselete também é ótimo, já que ele ajuda a esculpir curvas, afinando a cintura.

Evite

- Camisas ou Blazers de corte quadrado e largo;
- Gola alta, já que faz o colo ficar totalmente coberto, deixando a silhueta ainda mais pesada;
- Jaquetas curtas;
- Vestido de corte reto;
- Saia justa e afunilada;


Corpo Oval/Redondo


Para mulheres com esse tipo físico, é mais difícil transformá-las nas formas do tipo físico "Ampulheta". Podemos então, explorar as pernas, chamar a atenção para o torso através de decotes, tentar estender os ombros e ainda tentar diminuir os quadris.




O que ajuda?

- Abusar de tudo que chama a atenção para o colo e o pescoço, como decotes, brincos, colares.
- Blazers, camisas ou tricôs que ultrapassem a linha da cintura. Nada pode parar na altura da barriga ou no meio do quadril, pois criam uma ilusão de que o quadril é ainda maior, e não menor como é o nosso objetivo.
- Calça e saias sem pregas, para não criar volume em lugar indesejado.
- Calça de cintura no lugar, com corte reto, de preferência, a barra tocando o peito do pé (para dar a ilusão de alongar a pessoa).
- Decotes em "V" e em "U"

Evite

- Tudo o que chama a atenção para a cintura: camisetas curtas que mostram a barriga, calça com cintura baixa e calças ou saias com pregas.
- Cinto ou faixas por cima da roupa, tanto claro, como escuro.
- Gola Alta
- Calça muito justa ou tipo legging, que deixa a perna muito estreita e realça a barriga;
- Roupas claras e com brilho;
- Listras horizontais;
- Colar tipo coleira ou com muitas voltas;
- Tecidos volumosos;
- Blusa por dentro da calça;
- Pregas, babados e drapeados;
- Vestido com recorte abaixo do busto;


Corpo Triângulo Invertido


As mulheres com o tipo físico do triângulo invertido, para chegarem ao equilíbrio, precisam aumentar o quadril, chegando a uma medida proporcional ao ombro.




O que ajuda?

- Frente única ou vestido de cava americana, ajuda a diminuir os ombros, criando uma ilusão de um quadril maior;
- Calças de cintura baixa, mas não justas;
- Saias evasê, rodadas ou retas;
- Cores escuras na parte de cima;
- Regatas de alça fina;
- Blusas modelo cachê-coeur;
- Calças com volume, por meio de pregas ou tipo pantalona

Evite

- Calça muito sequinha, sem nenhum volume, prega ou pence;
- Calça jeans muito sequinha, prefira as de número maior que o seu, apertada por cinto, já - que isso cria volume no quadril.
- Ombreiras
- Blusas de tecido volumoso com muitos detalhes na altura do busto, ou de linhas horizontais;
- Saias e vestidos justos e afunilados;
- Blusas de decote canoa, e tomara que caia;


Corpo Triângulo


Para a mulher com o tipo físico do triângulo, o truque é fazer com que os ombros se estendam horizontalmente, chegando até a medida do quadril, ou diminuir visualmente o quadril. Este é um tipo físico bastante comum entre as brasileiras.




O que ajuda?

- Camisas ou tricôs com a cava mais caída, devem ultrapassar a linha do ombro, produzindo um efeito de alongamento;
- Calças ou saias de cores escuras, já que a cor escura emagrece; (não muito justas)
- Decote de ombro a ombro, ou seja, deixando os ombros de fora. Isso aumenta visivelmente os ombros;
- Tomara que caia é ótimo, para as que estão em forma;
- Mangas com volume;
- Blusas e camisetas coloridas;
- Saias e vestidos evasê;
- Camiseta com manga, sempre;

Importante: A altura de blazers, camisas, ou twin-set, deve ser sempre acima ou abaixo da parte mais larga do seu quadril, nunca deve cair sobre ele, isso forma uma linha horizontal, que aumenta ainda mais o quadril.

Evite

- Calça ou saia de pregas, calça de cintura baixa, que aumenta o quadril, e calça corsário, que diminui a perna e salienta o quadril anda mais. Calça muito justa também realça muito o quadril, dando a impressão de aumentá-lo.
- Calça cigarette ou stretch;
- Frente Única ou cava americana, que diminuem ainda mais os ombros;
- Calça ou saia bufante, que também aumentam o quadril;
- Regatas de alças muito finas;
- Detalhes na altura dos quadris, como: bolsas, bordados, babados, e etc..
- Minissaia curtíssima
- Cintos largos ou muito fininhos jogados nos quadris;
- Parte de cima cor escura, sendo a parte de baixo de cor clara;


Corpo Ampulheta

Esse é o tipo físico que toda mulher gostaria de ter. É o que chamamos de corpo violão. Se a mulher for do tipo físico da "Ampulheta" e for magrinha, melhor ainda, pois pode usar tudo! Mas se não for magrinha, é necessário, diminuir visualmente os quadris e seios .




O que ajuda?

- Tops, Regatas, Frente Únicas, calças com prega ou sem prega, detalhes em qualquer parte do corpo;
- Se não tiver um busto grande, pode usar gola alta;
- Caças de corte reto e cintura baixa;
- Saias fluidas evasê, ou justa

Importante: Se a pessoa for do tipo físico "Ampulheta", mas estiver cheinha, é necessário atenção! Não esquecer que a pessoa tem cintura, logo, aproveite para explorá-la. (Veja as dicas para o tipo físico do retângulo).

Evite

- Roupas retas e sem pence, que vão transformar a pessoa num triangulo;
- Vestidos em forma de trapézio, ficam soltos no corpo e dão a sensação de criar volume na cintura e mais ainda no quadril.
- Camisas ou Blazers de ombros muito largos, pois vai deixar a pessoa com a forma do triângulo invertido;
- Gola alta, no caso das que tem muito busto, pois dá a ilusão de estarem acima do peso.
