Revealed! How I Achieved a 70 Pound Healthy Weight Loss in 4 Months and Have Kept it Off for 15 Years!

by admin on November 18, 2009

No matter what stop light your car is parked at, chances are good that you can look over at any of the four street corners and see a fast food restaurant. Despite all of the technical advances and knowledge we are equipped with to help us lead healthy lifestyles, temptation is keeping our nation fat and a soaring need for healthy weight loss for over 65% of Americans. One cheeseburger won’t hurt us in the long run, we say, but ten years later we wonder how we became obese.

Another factor helping America achieve the status of being the fattest nation in the world, and an alarming need for healthy weight loss, is fad diets. We eat cheeseburgers, tacos and fried chicken at all of these fast food restaurants, then jump on whatever fad diet train that conveniently passes by in order to try and cheat our way back to good health. All it seems to be doing is making us even fatter.

I struggled with being overweight for twenty years before finally realizing that cheaters never prosper, and it goes double when dealing with your health. I spent over $2,000 on various weight loss programs only to lose 60 pounds and gain back 80 pounds. The only logical solution I could come up with was that there was something wrong with me personally or I was using the wrong weight loss programs.

But thankfully, I’m not the type of person who gives up. When I finally woke up and realized that there will never be some sort of miracle cure packaged nicely in one little healthy weight loss supplement that will help anyone lose weight, things became clear. In order to lose weight and keep it off for good, I had to face the fact that lifestyle changes must be made and I had to find a healthy weight loss program that would work for me.

Lifestyle modifications are the foundation of any successful long-term weight loss plan (eating less and moving more), and they require daily focus and discipline. I had chronic asthma all of my life and could not exercise or even breathe heavy, yet I still found a way to lose 70 pounds 15 years ago and have been medication free ever since. For me there was no other choice. It all came down to making simple decisions on a daily basis.

The way I lost weight was by replacing high-fat and high-sugar foods with proper nutrition and targeted vitamins made from all natural ingredients. Specifically, I began replacing unhealthy meals with a soy-based protein shake that gave my body all of the proper nutrition that a huge high-calorie meal gives you, minus the salt, sugar and fat. Proper nutrition and less calories equals healthy weight loss. Did I give up the foods I love? No. I just don’t eat them quite so often.

One of the biggest misconceptions that I have encountered since beginning to help people in their healthy weight loss journey is that all you have to do is eat vegetables and fruits to get the nutrition you need. Although these foods are a much healthier alternative than low-fat potato chips and cookies, you still have to eat too much of them to get the nutrition of a scientifically formulated protein shake.

Calories are calories no matter what the food source is, and the more you consume, the more you will gain weight. One 200 calorie soy-based protein meal replacement shake, for example, could be packed with all the nutrients found in eating 2,000 calories worth of food.

The human body is complex and requires many different needs for all of your problems which cannot be solved with one little weight loss pill. Treating each organ individually so that it functions at its optimum performance is the safest way to achieve an overall wellness of the body. By taking an all-natural products targeted to help me breathe better, I was soon able to get off all of my asthma medications while achieving the weight loss I wanted.

Another reason why I was successful at losing weight and keeping it off was because I had a support system. My coach had been where I was, and struggled in the same ways to achieve weight loss. Because he was part of the program I began, my coach’s success was dependent on my success. And that is why I am so successful at helping people lose weight now. I have been there before and I know what it’s like.

The best part about the meal replacements and supplements I have conditioned myself to take every day to keep me healthy is the cost. It is cheaper for me to get the best nutrition possible into my system than it is to buy the extra value meal at any given fast food restaurant. How can you beat spending $3.50 per meal without putting your health at risk.

It is important that you understand the importance of making healthy choices as a new way of life. It is extremely difficult in America today to find the road to good health and stay on it, but you must if you want to achieve healthy weight loss and keep it off for good. Do not let poor food and diet choices rob you of living the best life you can live. For things to change, you’ve got to change.

Best Weight Loss Supplement I have Ever Used

by admin on November 18, 2009

I am not one to write about an experience I had with a Weight Loss Supplement, but I figured this is one of those products I must share with people. I got this FREE Trial from www.ClenseMyBody.com for a Natural Organic Weight Loss Supplement. I am not big into taking supplements of any sort because I feel they are all crap; however, I was referred by a guy in the gym of this product and well…it was Free, so I said why not. Well I went to the website and got my Free Trial I just had to pay the $5.95 shipping..No Biggie. Got the trial in the mail about a week later. I looked over the ingredients and I liked what I saw all natural products and for the most part I had heard of most of the ingredients so that was a Plus.

I took the recommended dose and within about 2-Hours I felt like I had to make a massive BM. The funny part is this did not stop with just one, I went to the bathroom about 5 times in 2-Hours and I must say it was a little weird; however, someone not foreign to colonics and enemas it was great not needing anything in me to flush this waste out of me.

To make a long story short after about 3-Days being on the pills it regulated my BM’s and also I was shedding access water weight; as well as, toxins. Due to my high volume of protein I take, I usually have a constipation, but this fixed that. So in summary I apologize for rambling, but as I said I felt I needed to share it with the world. I ended up dropping about 14 lbs in the first week and it helped my sleeping, emotions and overall look.

So here is the information for anyone who wants to give it a try. Hopefully they are still doing the Free Trial for everyone. The website is www.ClenseMyBody.com

 

Good Luck and God Bless!

My weight loss supplement experience

by admin on November 18, 2009

This has truly been a life changing experience and I have so many things to say that it is hard to know where to start. It is typical to be skeptical of any product, especially a weight loss product.  The phrase “life changing” is thrown around so much and I thought that this would be another one of those times, but I quickly learned differently.

I have had the opportunity to amaze several medical professionals and that started right from the very beginning.  I had gone to several doctors trying to get my cholesterol under control and I had conceded to the fact that I would be taking medication to lower it for the rest of my life.  Around the same time that I was introduced to Slim, my doctor had given me a prescription for 80 mg of Zocor, which is a high dosage. That alone tells you that my problem was bad.  That prescription is now framed and will never be filled.  When I went back for my follow up, my cholesterol was lowered to the point where he took me off cholesterol medication altogether.

It is probably somewhat due to the weight that I have lost while using Slim, but my back problems are also now lessened. My chiropractor has spread my appointments from once a week to 4 times a year.  With more time, that should get less and less also.

So many things are different for me now. For one, my energy level is so much higher.  Before I started taking Slim, I was pretty much a couch potato.   Now, I play tennis twice a week.  On the other days, when time allows, I either walk or jog a couple miles or do some light work with the weights.

My confidence level has soared too. I used to avoid mirrors because I was ashamed of all the weight that I had gained. Now, it is fun to see how much weight that I have already lost and to image how I will look once I finally lose all of the weight that I want to lose.  Even at work, I am more confident  and it shows in how I carry myself and how I interact with people.

For the longest time, I have dreaded going back to my home town.  People back there remember me as a 140 pound high school athlete, not the 265 pound couch potato that I had become.  It was always embarrassing meeting someone that I had not seen for years and to have to deal with their reaction from seeing all of the weight that I had gained.  I have not gone to the annual homecoming at my old church for almost 20 years, my weight being one of the reasons.  This year, I am looking forward to going and plan to be there for the first time in a long time.

Also, when I was first introduced to Slim, I went to several gyms to see if I could talk to the patrons there about using the product.  For the most part, I was always laughed out of the place.  Looking back, I guess I can see why, at the weight that I was at no one took me seriously.  Everyone knows the story of the 98 pound weakling who got pushed around until he got sick and tired and then went and bulked up and came back as a new and improved person.  I feel like that kid in reverse. I can’t wait to walk into some of those same gyms now and see the look on some of those people’s faces.

Last, but maybe most importantly, I have learned that Slim is not just a diet product, but a life style change.  Life does not stop when you decide to try and lose weight.  You still have to worry with the every day stresses of life and the temptations that exist.  Two of my three surviving brothers were already unable to work because of health issues. The fourth brother had succumb to a heart attack at an early age.  During my 180 day period the third of the three surviving brothers had to have open heart surgery.  He survived, but is now also unable to work.  A close cousin also died of heart problems during this period.

It says a lot that knowing what I am potentially facing I believe that using Slim and keeping up the lifestyle changes that I have made will help me to avoid the same fate.  Also, during those weak moments when I allowed myself what I believed to be a well deserved indulgence, Slim helped to neutralize the foods that I had eaten and helped to keep the weight from coming back.

Knowing How to Choose Your Weight Loss Program

Hoodia Weight Loss Supplements Suppress The Appetite

by admin on November 18, 2009

Hoodia (HOO-dee-ah) is a cactus-like plant, that grows primarily in the semi-deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. Other popular names include: hoodia, xhooba, Ghaap, hoodia cactus, and South African desert cactus. In the last few years, hoodia has been heavily marketed for dieting and has quickly become one of the most popular weight loss supplements on the marketplace; today.Much of hoodia’s credibility, stems from claims made by the San Bushmen; of the Kalahari desert.  It is said that these natives relied on hoodia for thousands of years, to ward off hunger and thirst; during long hunting excursions. Nevertheless, consumers should not believe that hoodia weight loss pills are an overnight solution; and expect that body fat will just melt away. Although there are documented cases of incredible success with hoodia, the majority of dieters need more than diet pills and supplements; to achieve their weight loss goals. In fact, some consumers have indicated that hoodia provided no positive results; at all.

Hoodia gordonii diet pills can play an important role, in a dieters overall weight loss plan; if used correctly. Those participants who experienced the most success with hoodia and weight loss supplements, maintained a healthy diet and exercised regularly. It is important to note that hoodia gordonii suppresses the appetite. It will not build muscle, improve a bad diet or deter poor eating habits.

Hoodia gordonii is often regarded as an herbal diet pill; without side effects. Although there’s a lack of published studies on the safety of hoodia in humans, the only active ingredient identified (so far) as problematic, is a steroidal glycoside; called “p57″. To date, only hoodia gordonii is thought to contain p57. Clinical studies have shown that although hoodia was successful in suppressing the appetite, there were indications of unwanted effects on the liver; caused by components other than the active ingredient p57.  It was further noted, that these components could not easily be removed; during processing.

When Yohimbine is Found in Weight Loss Supplements

by admin on November 17, 2009

The Yohimbe tree is a tall evergreen that is native to western Africa. The principal alkaloid found in the bark of the of the West African evergreen Pausinystalia; contains a chemical called Yohimbine. The amount of Yohimbine found in dietary and weight loss supplements, in today’s marketplace; may vary.

Yohimbine has been used as both an over the counter dietary supplement, and also as a prescription medicine; for the treatment of sexual dysfunction. Although traditionally used in Africa as an aphrodisiac, one study found that oral Yohimbine supplementation may actuate significant fat loss; in athletes. When taken as a dietary supplement, the dried bark of the Yohimbe tree is used as a tea and ingested by mouth. In similar fashion, the desired ingredient of the bark is isolated and placed into capsules and tablets. As such, these weight loss supplements are exceedingly popular; in the diet and bodybuilding communities.

Yohimbine is a psychoactive drug (tryptamine chemical class) with stimulant and aphrodisiac effects, and has proven to be dangerous; if used in excessively. It has been determined that the range between an effective and dangerous dose; is very narrow. too large of a dosage can be harmful and toxic.

Significant side effects could include:

Before consuming any new weight loss pills, including natural health products, speak to your physician, pharmacist, or other health care provider. Be certain to convey any health concerns you may have, and include details of any dietary supplements; you may currently be taking. In rare cases, participants experienced panic attacks, hallucinations, headaches, dizziness, skin flushing, seizures and renal failure.  As such, Yohimbine should not be consumed by anyone with liver, kidney, heart disease, or psychological disorder.

by admin on November 17, 2009

FireStarter contains 30 mg of ephedra, 5 mg more than some other weight loss products. While other fat burners provide a quick burst of energy, followed by a heavy crash, the time-release technology in FireStarter maintains your body’s fat burning efforts; for hours and hours, without the associated crash.  Other notable ingredients found in these weight loss supplements include; Caffeine Anydrous, Green Tea extract (leaves), Yohimba extract (bark) and Hoodia gordonii extract (cactus).  Some of these additives have be known to produce adverse effects, when used in combination.  As such, consumers should educate themselves on their own heath, and the possible consequence of use; before introducing this product.

After ingesting FireStarter, participants should feel the energizing effects of the weight loss pills in approximately 30 minutes.  The results can last up to six hours.

Understanding Why Some Competitors Use Bodybuilding or Weight Loss Supplements

by admin on November 16, 2009

Athletes, competitors and bodybuilders, often use supplements to increase over-all performance in training, competition and sporting events.  In addition, nutrition and dietary supplements are often introduced to maintain/improve health and wellness. These products are commonly referred to as a food or nutritional supplements, and are intended to replenish lost or missing nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, and amino acids; in the athlete’s body.

In the case of bodybuilding, a work out increases the participant’s metabolism; and the body’s consumption of amino acids. During this time, valuable protein is broken down, and must be quickly replaced; to avoid a negative amino acid balance. Not utilizing the proper supplements to replace lost protein and amino acids in the body; will likely encourage the loss of prior and future results.

Dependable supplement providers, such as Bio-Engineered Supplements and Nutrition (BSN) , conduct ongoing scientific research, to develop innovative products; that address a competitive athlete’s evolving needs.  AVPT Multi-Action Matrix, for example, was developed and introduced to the BSNCore Series supplements (N.O. -Xplode, Nitrix and CellMass); to dramatically improve their effectiveness. The innovative combination of amino acids, co-operative creatine analogs and vital muscle growth bio-factors; have been developed to scientifically enhance, and further support an athlete’s:

Scientific research has charted hundreds of metabolic pathways; throughout the human body. Supplement providers, endeavor to effectively utilize these established passages, to delivery reliable bodybuilding and weight loss products; that increase performance, improve results and promote a speedy recovery.  Common exercise and competitive sport supplements include: creatine, glutamine, protein and multi-vitamins.  These products have been scientifically developed, and clinically proven to deliver the desired result.

When shopping for nutritional, bodybuilding or weight loss supplements, consumers should be cautious of outrageous claims; and marketing hype.  Supplement should be chosen, based on a consumer’s specific exercise or competitive sport needs; and nutritional requirements.  Motivated shoppers, are strongly advised to consider any customer feedback and product reviews available, before committing to a supplement purchase; as participant results are often unique, not general.
