Everything you need to know about diet pills
by Darrell Dymond
Just because a weight loss diet pill worked for your friend, does not actually mean it will work for you. As with many things in life, finding the right weight loss diet pill is a personal thing - you need to consult your doctor or dietician in order to find out which one is best for your condition.
It also helps to do some research of your own. Below we discuss the different types of weight loss diet pills and how they work. This short outline should help you to make a more informed decision.
Weight loss diet pills that suppress appetite
Among the most popular appetite suppressants are garcinia cambogia and conjugated linoleic acid. Both appear to be safer than some other types of weight loss diet pill ingredients, but they can also be linked to serious side effects like heart disorders. Most weight loss diet pills that claim to suppress appetite, promise to deliver results in six months.
Some experts say that if you do not shed at least four pounds after four weeks of taking an appetite suppressant, then this type of weight loss diet pill may not be the best for you.
Weight loss diet pills that burn calories
These diet pills have stimulants like caffeine, guarana, and green tea in them, which help increase your metabolic rate (at least temporarily) and consequently make you burn more calories than you normally do. The side effect: they also increase your blood pressure, heart rate, and in some cases, your anxiety.
Weight loss diet pills that block absorption of fats and carbs
These diet pills work by keeping your intestines from taking in carbohydrates and/or fats, so that your body can get rid of them. Most formulations contain soybeans, which seems safe to take but have actually be linked to zinc and copper loss - not weight loss. Some experts also argue that these diet pills may be harmful in the long run because they do not only block the bad fat, but also the good fat (such as vitamins A, E, D, and K).
Conclusion
The best formula to weight loss is still exercise coupled with a sensible diet. Do not be misled with labels that say "all natural" because they do not necessarily mean "safe." Consult your doctor or dietician before taking any diet pills, especially if you have sensitive medical conditions like high blood pressure, a history of heart problems, and a history of depression or over anxiety

He Lost 125 Pounds Without a Diet
by Wil Langford, R. Hy.
He was a mountain of a man. He stood over 6 feet tall and had hands like hams. He could easily carry a lot of weight, but not the weight he was bearing. Let's call him Frank, it's not his real name, but this is the real story of one of my hypnosis clients who lost 125 pounds and kept it off.
He was as big as a billboard and became my walking advertisement. I never realized when Frank walked into my office that day how many people would follow him based on his recommendation and impressive results.
Frank explained that he was an equipment operator at a construction site and spent all day sitting down. He operated a machine that loaded trucks. When the trucks weren't ready for loading, he sat and waited, and waited, and waited. Boredom was a big problem and Frank had started snacking. He also told me the biggest benefit of losing weight would be that he could take his family on a canoe trip they had always wanted to try, but had been unable to enjoy because he was just too big to safely travel in a canoe.
We talked about his weight problem and lifestyle and filled out an intake form so I could understand his problem and special needs. Just as no two people are exactly alike, no two diets should be exactly alike, either. Let's face it, a diet is really a very personal thing. I read his answers and tailored a weightloss strategy that I knew would fit Frank like a glove. It had the right suggestions based on the hidden keys and triggers I saw in his answers.
I explained how hypnosis works, how hypnosis, the method I used had been approved by the American Medical Association as an effective method. Then I guided Frank into hypnosis. He enters a state of hypnosis but was able to hear me and undersand the things I was saying. I put those suggestions in his subconscious mind where I knew they would have the power to make him feel like eating healthy foods in normal amounts.
After the session Frank said he felt great, very relaxed, and had a positive feeling about losing weight. I gave him the taped copy of the session like I did with every client and he left. He promised that he would listen to the tape every day.
I didn't hear from Frank for quite a while, then, one day, I got an envelope and there was a picture int the envelope, but no return address so its origin was a mystery to me. The picture was of a man, woman, and two small children in a great big canoe. They were all smiling and seemed to be very happy. I was sure I had never seen them before, though the man did look a little familiar. Later that day the phone rang. "Hello, Wil, did you get the picture?" a voice said.
"Yes, I did, thank you," I replied, "The only problem is that I don't know who you are."
"You mean you don't recognize me," he laughed, "but don't feel bad, very few people do. It's me, Frank. I looked like two men the last time you saw me."
Then I realized who it was. Frank had lost so much weight that I didn't recognize him and neither did a lot fo his friends and people in his town. When they saw his amazing results they started to flock to me for weightloss, smoking cessation, and other behavior problems.
Frank lost a total of 125 pounds and continued to send referals my way for years. He and his family took many canoe trips and had the times of their lives. he told me that he found it so easy to lose weight when he no longer felt like eating to satisfy his boredom. The suggestions in his subconscious mind were so powerful that he easily lost weight and kept it off. He was my biggest loser, but not by much. I had other clients who lost over 100 pounds, too.
What many people don't realize is that our subconscious mind controls our habits and behavior, including our eating habits. The subconscious controls 90% of our thought processes and the conscious mind only controls 10%. so making a conscious effort to lose weight is pitting 10% of your mind again 90% of your mind. For a little while you can lose weight but eventually the sheer size of the subconscious wins out and the old eating habits return. The only way to solve that problem is to change the habits in your subconscious mind. The best way to do that is with hypnosis.

3 Easy Tips to Lose 100lbs
by David Hilton
There are many weight loss plans out there, and all of them promise awesome weight loss. Everyone can make promises but it's up to you to fulfill your desire to slim down. I will share with you what I did to loose over 100lbs.
I was not part of any expensive weight counseling program. I did not buy expensive prepackaged meals. Nor did I waste money on a gym membership. I followed my own plan and was successful where everyone else's suggestions and weight loss schemes had failed. This plan is extremely simple and straight forward.
This weight loss plan will give you more energy and leave you jumping out of bed every morning as long as you follow it. But it is important that you follow it religiously without fail, or your results will not be as successful as mine. Before you begin this plan be sure to consult your physician to make sure it is right for you.
1. Exercise is not required.
However if you walk or jog your weight loss will skyrocket.
2. Manage your fat intake.
You should limit the amount of fats grams that you eat accordingly.
Men - 30 grams of fat per day.
Women - 35 grams of fat per day.
3. Your Diet.
I'm blessed by being someone who can eat the same thing day in and day out without fail. It simply became a routine for me. The diet I followed everyday is as follows:
Breakfast:
Grape-Nuts Cereal with 1% milk. 1 glass of orange juice. If you don't like Grape-Nuts then get something similar. Be sure it is high in fiber and low in sugar.
Lunch:
Subway sandwiches.
Beware here of adding fattening items to your subs. Do not add cheese. Do not add mayonnaise. If you want mayonnaise then use their light mayonnaise but only very little. In addition to this I would have a bag of their light potato chips, or a packet of apples, or a box of raisins. Do not have cookies! I made the mistake of having 3 chocolate chip cookies once and I lost NO weight that week. Stay away from sweets. I only drank diet soft drinks or water, Diet Caffeine Free Mountain Dew is my favorite.
Dinner:
I had 2 turkey hot-dogs with light cheese and a serving of light potato chips. Again I only drank soft diet drinks or water.
Following this plan I lost approximately 3 pounds per week. This was based on performing no exercise.
During the periods I did exercise, I would perform 30 to 50 sit-ups every morning. That may sound like a lot to someone who has never done sit-ups. If you want to I recommend you start with only a few, 5 to 10 a day and work yourself up. That's what I did. You will be surprised at how fast it becomes easy. During the summer I would walk or jog approximately 1 1/2 to 2 miles every morning or every other morning. It is important that you exercise in the morning as this will get your metabolism going for the entire day. During the periods that I jogged my weight loss rose to approximately 5 pounds per week.
My final point of advice is that you DO NOT skip a meal. This will cause your metabolism to drop and you will actually burn less fat by not eating.
Like I said before following this plan I lost over 106lbs. and you can too! It's not expensive to do and the plan is very customizable. Just eat right and avoid all sweets. However, one of the greatest problems with weight loss is keeping the weight off. This can actually be more difficult than loosing the weight in the first place. It can be a challenging daily routine or it can become a simple way of life. It really depends on your mindset and the tools you have available to you. My best wishes in your efforts and remember not to loose hope!

5 Tips for Easy Weightloss
by Kaushik Das
Whoever told you that weight loss was difficult never read this article!
Weight loss is a hot topic among people today, especially considering the fact that more than half of us are overweight. As we get older we often get busier, and before we know it, find ourselves in the prime of our lives and packing a few extra pounds. With so little extra time in our lives it is impractical to join the latest diet fad or commit to sweating in the gym for hours at a time. Are we all destined to grow outward with each passing year, or is there a simple way for us to reclaim our healthy figures?
If you struggle with your own battle of the bulge read on for five sure-fire ways to drop a few of those unwanted pounds, and more importantly learn how you can prevent packing them in the first place!
TIP #1: Burn it in the AM What is the first thing you do when you wake each morning? Hit the snooze button for an extra ten minutes of sleep? What if I told you that taking those ten minutes to strap on your sneakers and walk briskly around the block would result in weight loss? It has been proven that aerobic activity done on an empty stomach forces your body to recruit energy from storage. This energy is stored in the form of fat on various parts of your body. Starting tomorrow take ten minutes out of your morning to walk briskly around the block before breakfast. Do not sprint or try to walk as quickly as possible, simply walk at a pace that you could comfortably hold a conversation. This seemingly small activity, when done consistently, will produce surprising weight loss results!
TIP #2 Forget Your Late Night Snack I know I am not the only one who enjoys eating a snack after dinner! Although comfort food seems to taste better right before bed, it is also more prone to stick with us when eaten late at night. It has been proven that not eating three hours before bed reduces fat storage throughout the night. If you go to bed at 10pm, finish eating for the day no later than 7pm. Once you have made this a habit you will be ecstatic over the long term weight loss!
TIP #3 Kiss that Frappuccino Goodbye What tastes better than a frothy, venti frappuccino smothered in whip cream and chocolate syrup? While blended coffee beverages have rapidly gained popularity with the masses, their caloric tallies have been all but ignored. Whether you are an avid Starbucker, or only wander in for an occasional treat, it is important to know the truth about what you are drinking. The average Venti sized frappuccino weighs in at 530 calories. This staggering number equals 2.5 bagels, or one third of the recommended daily calories for an average woman. Not only is this an extreme amount of calories to be consumed in a beverage but the calories come purely from sugar, which is easily stored as fat. Next time you are in line at the coffee shop and find yourself eyeing a sugary beverage, redirect your attention to the tea selection, or stick with an old fashioned cup of coffee.
TIP #4 Fuel Your Fire Have you ever tended a campfire? You probably remember continuously adding sticks and branches to keep the fire from running out of fuel. Your body's metabolism is similar in its need for constant fuel. Eating a small meal every three hours is a great way to keep your metabolism high all day long. When your metabolism is high you burn more calories throughout the day and are less likely to store fat. Rather than eating 2 or 3 large meals a day, and allowing your 'fire' to go out, giving way to hunger pains, try eating a small meal every three hours and be amazed at your weight loss results.
TIP #5 Curb Your Carbs I'm sure sometime in the past year you have found yourself subjected to the testimony of a converted 'low-carb' enthusiast. While these people may look great it is definitely not the right diet for everyone. Extreme fatigue, crankiness and downright impracticality are what make this diet a tough cookie to swallow. Cutting one or two carb-filled items out of your daily diet can make a huge difference in meeting weight loss goals. While I wouldn't recommend throwing out your bread basket entirely, consciously cutting carb-filled items out of your daily food intake is a great idea. If you normally have a sandwich for lunch make it open-faced, thus cutting out half of the bread. If you enjoy eating pasta for dinner reduce your pasta portion and add extra vegetables.
These minor changes to your daily diet will prove themselves priceless when you step onto the scale! It is you against the bulge, and now that you are armed with these 5 tips for easy weight loss, I am confident that you are going to win! Keep in mind that consistency is the key. The more effort that you put into implementing these 5 tips into your daily lifestyle, the quicker the unwanted pounds will disappear!
