5 Proven Methods to Lose Weight
By Michael Casalini

Approximately one billion people in the world are overweight
and Americans are right on top of that list. According the CDC/
National Center for Health Statistics, in 2003-2004,
sixty-percent of adults over age twenty were overweight with
another thirty-two percent in that same category considered
obese. Believe me, those numbers have significantly increased.

Why? It’s because we live a very fast paced society where it’s
just too easy to grab that double meat double cheeseburger with
fries and a soft drink rather than consume a healthy meal. We
simply don’t have the time.

Most of us consume far too many foods and drinks that are high
in fat, cholesterol, sugar, and sodium, consequently exposing
ourselves to the risks of cardio-vascular disease, Type Two
Diabetes, hypertension, stroke, and even some types of cancer.

For those of us who do have the time to eat properly, face it,
we simply like to cheat. Generally speaking, most of us don’t
have the willpower to constantly avoid all the “goodies” that
are so detrimental to our health. We’ve all heard that old
saying” If it tastes good-spit it out!” Well, unfortunately,
that’s probably accurate advice, however, there are a few less
dramatic methods we can employ to sort of “have our cake and eat
it too.”

1. Try to get in the mindset that you really are what you eat
and slowly begin to pay closer attention to what you consume.
Simply changing the way you think is one of the most powerful
ways to improve any area of your life. Take five minutes each
day and visualize yourself as being thinner. Sound silly? Have
you seen the movie” The Secret?” If not, I strongly suggest you
do so. I think you will be surprised at how much difference this
technique will make.

2. Take a sack lunch to work. A turkey sandwich with some
fruit, a protein bar and some diet white tea will be much better
for you than that darned cheeseburger and fries. If that won't
hold you until the whistle blows, have a protein drink in
between instead of raiding the candy machine.

3. Avoid eating foods high in carbohydrates especially three
hours before bedtime. The simple version is the carbs will be
converted into sugars which will more than likely be stored as
fat.

4. Any form of exercise is better than none at all. A fast
paced walk for fifteen to twenty minutes three times per week is
one of the most effective methods to lose weight and does not
pound the body like running or jogging. Being a personal
trainer, I cannot say enough about the benefits of exercise.

5. Drink a glass of water about thirty minutes prior to meals.
This will make you feel full and you may not eat quite so much.
Also, eating smaller portions will, in time, make it more
difficult for you to over eat.

Remember, being overweight is not only undesirable and
unattractive, it is most certainly detrimental to your health.

How To Choose The Right Diet Pill?
By Jerry Hall

Diet drugs are available in several different forms, including
prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs and herbal
supplements.

When choosing a diet pill it is important to understand what
you are getting. There are lots of different types, and each
works in a different way. Non prescription diet pills generally
contain caffeine, which increases heart rate and basal
metabolism and gives you more energy in work outs, which can be
quite effective in weight loss.

Once these pills contained ephedra, which strengthened the
effect on the heart rate and metabolism, but the FDA banned it
in 2003 after proof that ephedra occasionally caused arrhythmia
and sudden death. Now most non prescription diet pills use green
tea, which seems to have an effect on the metabolism and also
slows fat production, or bitter orange, which is a chemical
isolated from citrus fruit. Other common ingredients include
''herbal ephedra'' which is often a plant called hoodia, and
chitosan, which is produced from shellfish and is a mild fat
blocker.

Doctor recommended Diet Pills are available to buy online. You
are asked to complete an online medical questionnaire which is
then passed to a licensed physician who will review your
information and prescribe the appropriate diet pills. The diet
pills are delivered by an overnight Fed ex courier.

There are essentially 8 different diet pills available, with
the most commonly used being the Phentermines. These are sold as
Phentermine, Adipex and Ionamin. Other diet pills include
Xenical, Meridia, Bontril, Tenuate and Didrex. Generally the
phentermines are the cheapest and the most widely used. If you
are going to use them, you must follow the instructions
carefully.

If diet pills are not used in conjunction with a proper weight
loss program incorporating proper diet and exercise, they are
not likely to be effective. Indeed some pills may even disrupt
your system causing weight gain.
