Just a fair warning about a particular drug -

Diet Aids don't work. The only reason that companies produce this forsaken stuff is that the public can't wait to spend their money on the next thing that will allow them to do nothing but look great.

All Diet Aids have the "with proper diet and exercise" tag on them.

Well I decided a year ago that I was going to get healthier (actually my wife decided and I decided I shouldn't go against my wife ) I did research and have found the full proof way of loosing weight. I have actually lost 75 pounds in the past year using this method. Its amazing and full proof.

I didn't take any magic potion or use some buffing scroll. I used common sense. The only way to loose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. And if you want to keep it off you consume over 1800 calories per day so your body doesnt' think it is starving.

This means you need to eat right. Don't eat high calorie foods. Eat six to eight meals a day (smaller amounts).

Exercise 30 minutes a three times a week doing aerobic activity to increase your heart rate. Do strength/toning work three times a week (this is your push ups sit ups hand weight stuff) You don't need to do high weight to get results.

I was 300 lbs at 6'4'' I didn't look bad just really big. I am down to 225 and feel better, look better, and act better.

Ohhh I still eat chocolate, hot wings, ice cream, BBQ and a lot of other stuff. I just eat less of this stuff and more veggies, salads, whole grains, and lean meats.

You can change your life style and lose weight but the most important thing you need is the determination to actually stick with it and do it.

Anyone can do jumping jacks, jump rope, hops, and running in place for 30 minutes a day. You could do this even while on Fiesta. Open a shop and watch your shop as you do 30minutes of cardio.

I have Hypoglycemia, for those that do not know, Hypoglycemia, also called low blood sugar, occurs when your blood glucose (blood sugar) level drops too low to provide enough energy for your body's activities. It causes hunger, nervousness and shakiness, perspiration, dizziness or light-headedness (and yes I have passed out more times than I can count because of this), sleepiness, confusion, difficulty speaking, feeling anxious or weak.
I am usually able to treat mine through my diet. I eat about 6 times a day, but they are all small meals. I eat just enough to curb my hunger, then in another 3 hours, I will eat again, but just enough to curb the hunger, I do this all day long. Sometimes, I am even eating at midnight before I go to sleep. I do not watch what I eat and I eat whatever I feel like. If I want junk food, I eat it. If I want pizza and hot wings, I eat it. I do not count calories or eat only healthy foods. People often ask me how I can eat all day long and eat anything I want and stay as skinny as I am. I think that some of it has to do with my genes, because on one side of my family, everyone is really tall and skinny. However, I also think that it has to do with the fact that I eat the way I do. By eating just enough to curb my hunger and eating more than 3 times a day, I am not starving my body and I am able to keep my energy level up all day long, instead of it fluctuating with just 3 meals a day.
Haha, I am too lazy and not committed enough to excercise like I should. I tried the pilates, and after watching the video and trying to concentrate on just my breathing for 30 minutes, I thought, "yeah, this is not for me." So, I think it really has to do with the eating smaller meals multiple times a day.

It is better to eat 6 small meals than 3 large meals. My mom has this old diet book that she's been using for the past 20 years(and it still works). It requires you to eat 6 small meals. Its so your body will not form such a large appetite, and it teaches you to not eat til you're full.

I personally do not like it, the food you eat is so bland, or foods that are on my DO NOT LIKE list. But I have gone on it, and even without exercise, I lost weight.

HAHAH i said exactly the same thing after watching 15 mins of yoga DVD LOL!!!

Yeah, what I have been doing is to make breakfast my biggest meal, and the others very small or divided, and I keep my calories around 1200-1400, replaced sugar with aspartame, (Since I drink a lot of tea) coke with coke zero, always keep a water bottle handy and develop muscle, because muscle likes to eat at fat and just having it gets your metabolism rate up. :3

Also I would say its very important to research your food. Its shocking how you think hat some things you eat aren't much but turn ou to be a loooot. @_@ AKA, club house crackers. fking things. >=o
