Did you notice there is a steep rise in the demand for such supplements? The reason is that people want to look good. The idea of looking good possesses each and every individual in regards to body structure, dressing style, nature and overall personality. Many of them are obese and they do not fulfill the ‘looking good' factor in their body form, therefore they make use of diet pills in order to lose weight and maintain a great body posture.

In the race for losing weight as quickly as possible, people tend to gulp weight loss supplements that promise to shed off the extra fat from the body, but they do not deliver the promised outcome. Moreover, some of them also invite side effects in barter for a slimmer body. However, how will one actually separate the best from the better? On what basis will one decide that these pills will work wonders on your weight loss problems?

The only way is believing in the exaggerated commercials and advertisements. Now, the users have become more aware of these misleading ads, hence they check out the products available in the market before purchasing. After doing a proper research about the supplements, one considers a specific product to be a trusted one. They strongly believe that instead of going for fastest solution, it is essential to stick to a trusted and proven product.

Remember that the effective diet pills will not welcome the commonly noticed side effects. But, what are the universally experienced side effects? Some of them are listed below: hallucinations, confusions, aggressions, diarrhea, nausea, tremors, convulsions and palpitations. Some of the weight loss supplements also bring gas, oily spots, muscle cramps, incontinence and gall bladder problems in the consideration, making people aware of the fact that these supplements are not reliable. Other undependable pills are accompanied with insomnia, intense skin reactions, strokes, hyperthermia and seizures. Besides, the other unavoidable health problems due to fake diet pills are constipation, headaches, menstrual cramps, abnormal bleeding, chest pains, jaundice, kidney disorders and tachycardia. 

Thus, people have made a list of trusted and proven weight loss supplements that include Hoodia Gordonii to avoid such grave products. These diet pills are not for people who want 'quick and easy weight loss' methods. Hoodia is a spiny plant just like a cactus that contains a natural and safe compound called "P57". The actual job of this plant is that it sends signals to the brain, making it think that you are full. Thus, you will be satisfied and no fat gets accumulated and there are no side affects on your metabolism.

Besides, green tea is also one such natural product that are used by many individuals to solve the weight loss problem. This is considered to be a harmless way to lose weight. So, you can enjoy your time losing weight with the help of these safe and natural products instead of the fake pills.

It has really solid ingredients and a great formulation that is apparently developed by pharmacists, medical doctors, and researchers. As we all know the challenge of weight loss is multifaceted and so too is Fatburn7's approach to their new weight loss supplement. It not only has the appetite suppressants (hoodia, and 5-HTP a precursor to serotonin that itself is an anti-carbohydrate neurotransmitter and may increase the levels of the appetite regulating hormone leptin), but it also combines a component to block fat formation (caralluma fimbriata-which has dual action as an appetite suppressant), and a natural thermogenic or fat burning agent (EGCG). After reviewing the list of ingredients I also noticed the use of gugglesterones (a plant sterol good for naturally stimulating an under-active thyroid to help normalize and improve metabolic rate, decrease lipid levels, and increase metabolism). Although the individual ingredient doses can't be determined from their label, the trademarked complexes and their doses listed suggest that the recommended dosages for these ingredients can easily fit into their formula. With this being the case it is hard to argue this products dedication to quality ingredients and doses.

It addition to the great ingredients listed in their formula, their website also points out the fact that their product is made in America, manufactured in a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) facility, and all of their ingredients are verified with a certificate of analysis or origin. All of the aforementioned attributes are critical to verify a supplement's quality. A certificate of analysis certifies that the ingredients listed on their label are indeed the ingredients and potency in the capsule. This is very important as not all companies adhere to these strict guidelines and processes throughout their development and formulation. The Fatburn7 formula also avoids harsh stimulants like gurana, ephedra, ephedrine alkaloids, synephrine, hormones, or stimulating amino acids. Instead they seem to use mild natural stimulants such as green tea extract and chad de bugre that is very popular in Brazil and credited with influencing the figures of many Brazilian women. Avoiding harsh stimulants in weight loss supplements is very important as several people that use these supplements already have health issues and can experience unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects including increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, "nervousness", and the "jitters".

Still not satisfied with my assessment of this product, I decided to check the effect of these ingredients listed in relation to weight loss on the Pubmed research database of the National Institute of Health (NIH). Looking there under the search "EGCG weight loss" (Fatburn7 has a 70% EGCG concentrate from green tea extract) I found several articles indicating the positive effect EGCG can have on weight loss efforts. I also looked up 5-HTP weight loss, caralluma Fimbriata, and all of their other ingredients. I found endless supporting articles of the ingredients in their formula. For this and the previously mentioned reasons, I would give a solid recommendation to try this supplement. If you have a question about this product's ingredients, go to a government source for information such as Pubmed of NIH where you will get peer reviewed, third party data on their weight loss ingredients from respected scientific journals-it's obvious that the makers of this product did.

While there is no "miracle diet pill," available on the market, FatBurn7 provides a great option in products to supplement your weight loss regimen.

FatBurn7 will assist you in achieving your weight-loss goals by tapping into its reservoir of mechanisms designed to physiologically attack fat and produce a net calorie reduction leading to weight loss. Included in these ingredients are Hoodia Gordonii and 5-HTP.

Hoodia Gordonii is widely supported as a useful appetite suppressant. It is a cactus like plant from the Kalahari Desert of South Africa that has long been used by the San Tribesman there as a source of sustenance. So how does it work? Well Hoodia Gordonii is believed to increase ATP in the hypothalamus of the brain and control appetite due to its p57 steroidal glycoside. In other words, as you eat there are nerve cells in your brain that detects blood sugar and signals to the body that you are full. Hoodia Gordonii suppresses your appetite by causing these nerve cells to fire telling your body that you are full without actually eating, therefore suppressing feelings of hunger. In a landmark clinical trial on lab rats, it was proven to reduce caloric intake by up to 60% within 24 hours of consumption. FatBurn7 has been found to be a good source of certified Hoodia Gordonii.

5-HTP is an amino acid found in the brain as an intermediary step between Tryptophan and Serotonin which regulates mood, sleep, and appetite. As an appetite suppressant, it works by boosting the brain's Serotonin levels thus creating a feeling of satiety (fullness). It has been proven in clinical studies to reduce caloric intake by up to 22%. FatBurn7 is also a good source of 5-HTP and can help curb appetite and excessive carbohydrate cravings.

In addition, FatBurn7 has several other ingredients that you can find on their website http://www.fatburn7.com that has even greater utility in the fight against weight gain and healthy weight maintenance.

In summary, FatBurn7 is unique among weight-loss supplements, in that it consists of clinically supported ingredients and its manufactures do not make any unsubstantiated claims setting unrealistic weight-loss expectations. Instead, they promote using Fatburn7 along with lifestyle change as the most effective method of losing weight and achieving the best results possible.

Proper diet and exercise remains the single most effective method of weight loss and weight control. However, if you are one of the 6 of the 10 Americans that may be overweight, FatBurn7 is a great option to assist in your diet and exercise program. As a weight loss supplement, FatBurn7 utilizes clinically proven ingredients such as Invingia Gabonesis and Cissus Quadrangularis to naturally assist the body to burn excess fat and reduce overall body weight.

Irvingia Gabonesis is an extract from a wild mango indigenous to Africa. Over the years, there have been several studies on Irvingia Gabonesis demonstrating its effectiveness for weight loss. It has been found to promotes weight loss in several ways. It increases the body's levels of adiponectin thus improving insulin sensitivity. It also reduces fatty acid formation and inhibits the amount of blood glucose that converts into fat. Additionally, it reduces the amount of starch the body absorbs as sugar. In a controlled human study conducted in 2005 participant taking Invingia Gabonesis over a 30 day period lost 12.3 pounds in addition to reducing their total cholesterol. FatBurn7 is a good source for Irvingia Gabonesis.

Cissus Quadrangularis is an extract form a cactus like plant found in Asia, India and Africa. It has been proven effective as a weight loss supplement. Its effectiveness was demonstrated in an 8 week study consisting of 123 overweight individuals. The study resulted in significant weight loss, central obesity, and total cholesterol for the participants. This supplemet is also effective in reducing symptoms for metabolic syndrome (cardiovascular diseases). Additionally, Cissus Quadrangularis is known for its healing properties, it allows tendon, bones and other damaged tissue in body to heal faster. This property is extremely beneficial to the body building enthusiast. FatBurn7 is a good source for Cissus Quadrangularis.

The combination of Cissus Quadrangularis and Irvingia Gabonesis has also been studied. In a 10 week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design involving 72 obese or overweight participants, it was revealed that the combination of these two supplements produced significantly more weight loss and total cholesterol reduction than each individual supplement by itself.

Quality ingredients are the most important factor in choosing a weight loss supplement to complement your diet and exercise regime. A good idea would be to consider supplements with ingredients that suppresses appetite, increases metabolic rate, reduces fat accumulation, and promotes muscle and tendon healing. FatBurn7 is specially formulated to deliver on all these factors. With this in mind, those who take FatBurn7 over a 3 month period can reasonably expect significant weight loss, and reduction of total cholesterol. When combined with a calorie control diet and vigorous exercise program, Fatburn7 can lead to even faster weight loss and lean muscle development. I strongly recommend Fatburn7.

Tony Brown, Health & Fitness World - writing on weight loss supplements and diet pills

Source: http://www.articletrader.com ]]> http://www.articletrader.com/health/weight-loss/losing-weight-the-power-of-food-journaling.html http://www.articletrader.com/health/weight-loss/losing-weight-the-power-of-food-journaling.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:48:20 -0600
What is it?

A food journal is a daily record of all the foods you eat - every meal, snack, or drink consumed throughout the day is written down to provide a comprehensive record. The level of detail can vary. Some journals include only the items in each meal. The best ones record at least some basic nutritional information, which can include portions, number of calories, or the levels of fat and cholesterol. To make it fun, some people even include personal reviews of the food they eat.

What does writing have to do with dieting?

Of course, the act of writing won't burn enough calories to help you lose that weight. The real benefit of the journal is to give you a comprehensive list. If you diligently record your meals for seven days, you can examine the levels of calories and fat you've taken in and begin to understand your own eating behaviors. The longer you journal, the more information you gain about yourself. This information allows you to make informed choices about your intake and can lead you to a level of awareness that will help you make better decisions.

So how do I get started?

First, you need to get the journal set up. Keep in mind that the journal doesn't have to be a fancy leather-bound book. You can easily set up a document on your computer or use a simple spiral bound notepad available at any drugstore. There are even iPhone apps available (like ‘Lose It') that can make recording meals easy. Pick the method you're most comfortable with.

Next, you will need to identify your system. Simply recording the meals you eat is a start, but the more information you enter the better. Pick information types (called 'metrics') that fit with your goals. If you want to lose weight, you will probably need to record calories consumed. If you're concerned about your heart, then cholesterol, salts and certain fats will be your focus.

Finally, when you start journaling, make sure to keep it simple. Begin by recording the meals and portions you eat for a full week. At the end of the week, go back and fill in the metrics for each day and then your totals for the week. These totals will give you a 'big picture' snapshot that you can use to measure your overall goals. The day-to-day entries will allow you to break down any needed changes into manageable pieces.

What does it mean?

You'll probably be surprised by what you find but don't get discouraged. Nearly everyone gets a shock when they see just what their real diets look like. Keep with it. The longer you record the information, the better and more complete the picture will become.

If you're on a 2,000-calorie a day diet, the week should be about 14,000 calories. If you went up to 18,000, you will know that somehow you ate an extra two days' worth of food during the week. This is good information that will not only help to identify a problem, but also the degree of the problem. In this example, if you can eliminate just 300 calories per day, you will have achieved your goal.

Since you'll be making a complete record of each meal, and noting the values associated with the meal, you will be able to see where you can 'win back' some of your meals. Maybe it will be from omitting a daily snack here and there or reducing the size of a meal by a small amount. Either way, you have the information you need to begin taking steps to modify your eating behavior. This applies to any metric you choose - keep a good record, tally up the numbers, and you will see the patterns that you need to change.

Take Control

The biggest advantage of food journaling is that it really is easy to do. It can take some practice but the time commitment is minimal. It takes less than a minute to write down that you had a roast beef sandwich, a bag of chips, and a soda for lunch. If you only take another two minutes to research the nutritional information in that meal and write it down, you've committed only three minutes. For as little as one hour per week you can account for every meal. It's a small step that you can easily fit into your existing routine. Once it becomes habit, you will have information that isn't just generalized or abstracted, but very specific to your personal needs. And you can take control of your eating and your health.

If you get on the right schedule you can begin to shed pounds soon enough.

Before you get started with a clinical weight loss program you need to know what you are up against:

1. How is this done? Obviously, you only want to lose weight in ways that are 100 percent safe. When you work with the right people, such as dieticians and personal trainers, you can be rest assured that your safety is always a top priority.

2. Goals. What types of goals have you set for yourself? Some people only need to lose a few pounds, but others want to take off much more. It is up to you to decide just how much weight you need to get rid of.

3. Find the best person for the job. The way you lose weight is up to you. But remember this: the right help can go a long way in helping you reach all your goals. For instance, a personal trainer may be the first person you speak with.

What do you think? Is clinical weight loss something that is of interest to you? Being overweight can lead to many health problems. Instead of continuing to deal with this, find a clinical weight loss program that you trust. From there, follow the advice above to get on the right track.

Source: http://www.articletrader.com ]]> http://www.articletrader.com/health/weight-loss/hcg-diet-and-weight-loss-protocol-quick-summary.html http://www.articletrader.com/health/weight-loss/hcg-diet-and-weight-loss-protocol-quick-summary.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:30:05 -0600 HCG Diet Simplicity

Way too many people make the HCG Weight Loss protocol much more complicated than it really is. It is simply a hormone-directed, very low-calorie diet that is ultra-low in fat and carbohydrate. The recent growth in popularity of this protocol, however, has attracted so much nonsense that it is difficult to know what is right and what is wrong.

Whenever I hold a presentation in my store, I always start out by putting everyone on the same page with a summary of the key points that answer most questions before anyone even asks. They are as follows:

The HCG Hormone

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a complex protein hormone that is produced by pregnant women. Its normal function is to direct the mother to use her own stored fat to nourish a developing fetus.

Different Forms of HCG

Different forms of HCG include the original form, an oral (sublingual), a new transdermal form (cream), and homeopathic drops. The original, sublingual, and transdermal forms are all equally effective.

Non-HCG and Fake HCG

I have no scientific basis for evaluating homeopathic HCG, since it contains no actual HCG. All other forms contain measurable dosages of the hormone.

Some products on the market are labeled as alternative HCG. These are herbal formulas that contain no HCG at all.

Genetically Engineered HCG

Native HCG that is isolated from the urine of pregnant women is available under several brand names, including Pregnyl, Follutein, Profasi, and Novarel.

A genetically engineered form of HCG, called Ovidrel, is produced by Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. It is not identical to the complete native hormone. Nevertheless, it works just as well as the native hormone.

Dosages and Calories

When administered to overweight men and women, low dosages of HCG cause the reduction of abnormal fat when food calories are restricted to no more than 500 calories per day. (This would be an unhealthy starvation diet without the action of HCG to derive calories from fat!)

The Basic Diet Plan

The diet consists of four components in each of two daily meals: 1) a nonfat protein; 2) a vegetable; 3) a fruit; and, 4) a serving of Melba toast. The program also encourages the intake of plenty of water and allows unlimited amounts of black coffee and tea. Stevia is the only approved sweetener.

Important Supplements

Key supplements for enhancing results include green tea, chromium, goat's rue, cha de bugre, CLA, and probiotics.

Duration of the Protocol

Because HCG is a hormone that trains specific brain receptors, it advisable to use the hormone for a minimum of 27 days (the 30-day program) or a maximum of 40 days (the 43-day program). Maximum weight loss during the 30-day program is typically 25 lbs. For the 43-day program it is typically 35 lbs. Further reduction beyond 35 lbs. requires an additional HCG series after a layoff period.

Unique Fat Reduction

Fat reduction via HCG shapes your body by burning abnormal fat. You will not go below a healthy weight level or become too skinny. You will simply look the way you are supposed to look when you are not carrying excess abnormal fat.

Bonus Side Effects

According to Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, the discoverer of this program in the 1950s, the bonus benefits of the HCG Weight Loss Diet include restoring steroid hormone balance, slowing or reversing the downhill slide of hypoglycemia and diabetes, re-energizing thyroid and adrenal glands, breaking up arterial plaque, reducing rheumatic pain, and lowering blood pressure.

Lifetime Aftercare Strategy

HCG-based weight reduction is only the first phase. You must also follow certain dietary guidelines (i.e., no sugar, low starch) for a 3-week second phase. You must also adopt a sensible diet and lifestyle for the rest of your life. This is when the right diet, exercise, supplements, and lifestyle are most important for your long-term weight management and total health.

Lifetime Supplements

This is another topic that has attracted a lot of craziness. Keep it simple! There is nothing simpler or better than what I have listed above as the key supplements for enhancing results before, during, and after the protocol. These include green tea, chromium, goat's rue, cha de bugre, CLA, and probiotics.

How Effective is the HCG Protocol?

Dr. Simeons estimated the effectiveness, or success rate, at better than 90%. In my experience, this depends on compliance. If you do not follow the protocol, you will fail. Furthermore, if you do not live sensibly after you reach your target weight, you will gain rebound fat. There are no silver bullets, magical drugs, or miracle surgical procedures that can help you if you do not do the right thing.

I hope that helps your thinking a little bit!

2. To give yourself a boost of energy before you workout try a spoonful of honey.

3. Add a little spice to your life and your meals like black pepper, cayenne, and cinnamon and even dried ginger - it will help you burn more calories.

4. Add more nuts to your diet - a handful of pecans and sunflower seeds can go a long way.

5. Have a cup of white or green tea a few times of day. This will help speed up your metabolism as well as boosting your immune system.

6. Home remedies sometimes do not work for all people so there are great diet plans and products out there to help with your HCG weight loss. Talk to your doctor about other options.

7. Have 2 teaspoons of raw organic apple cider vinegar. Mix it with juice or water and drink it through a straw. This is a great remedy but it could wear at the enamel of your teeth over time.

8. Reduce your salt and sugar intake. Eliminate alcohol from your diet completely.

9. Make sure that you are getting enough Vitamin C. You can get more through fruits, or green leafy vegetables. So make your meals very colorful.

10. Put cabbage in your salads. This vegetable has a chemical, tartaric acid, that helps to reduce the conversion of sugar and carbs into fat.

11. There are systems out there to help out as well. There are the ones you hear most often like the Jenny Craig's and Atkins and then there are ones that you may not have heard of so much like Dr. Simeons Diet. The key is to try to find the one that will work best for you.

12. Do not starve yourself. Make sure that you are getting enough calories so do not skip meals.

13. Cook with canola oil instead of butter. And when you prepare your food be sure to bake, boil or roast your fish and meat. This will help destroy the fat

14. Find out the cause of your weight gain - stress, genetics, over eating, water retention…Talk to your doctor about your weight problems. Living that healthy life style will not only help to lose the weight but also help to keep it off!

Kimberly Green has had great success with HCG weight loss

Food cravings are a result of what your body craves for; it has nothing to do with your mind. Your mind can only assure your body or put it under strict control. If your mind does not take over in ruling your body, you will soon be addicted to food. Any fast weight loss program will also not help you unless you make up your mind to keep yourself fit and healthy.

These are a few powerful methods to ensure that you loose weight and are healthy as well.

Breakfast

For a fact, this is on of your most important meals. All through the night, your body's metabolism lowers and you need a proper healthy breakfast to turn up your body engine again. This also helps you to keep active throughout the day. With a proper breakfast, you will also ensure that you don't eat unnecessary foods or over indulge in food during the day. It is a known fact that people who skip breakfasts tend to eat a lot more during the day.

Small meals

Ideally an individual has 3 meals per day. However, sometimes there is a lot of gap between two meals, this lowers your metabolism. In order to keep your heart and body working, you will need to power it up with a few regular mini meals, which include fruits and vegetables. This will also ensure that you do not binge on food.

Exercise

This is another essential part of your weight loss program to ensure that you maintain a healthy lifestyle and that you loose your excess weight. Any form of exercise that is carried out for a minimum of 30 minutes is good enough for your body to feel and be healthy. Varying your exercise routine will ensure that you don't bore yourself with one form of exercise. You can walk, skip, jump, run or even cycle.

These are just a few tips that will ensure that your fast weight loss program is a success.

Your body normally makes all the cholesterol that it needs and no more. However, when arterial walls become damaged, various components in the blood can get trapped in the damaged areas. Inflammation is the cause of this trapping effect, not high cholesterol. Dr. Simeons incorrectly blamed cholesterol for being the cause of arterial damage.

Plaque Buildup

When enough material (cholesterol, calcium, fibrin, etc.) builds up into a plaque, arteries become clogged. The excess calcium even leads to hardening of the arterial wall. Although modern medicine blames cholesterol on this clogging, that is far from the truth.

Indeed, clinical evidence is very clear that plaque is best eliminated by chelation therapy that removes calcium or by systemic enzymes that remove fibrin. Modern medicine has wrongly targeted cholesterol as the problem, even though it is just a bit player in a complicated mixture of many substances.

Putting Cholesterol on the Move Again with HCG

One of the consequences of high HCG production in pregnant women was long ago observed to be higher levels of free cholesterol in circulation. Free cholesterol, as opposed to bound LDL cholesterol, has much less chance of being trapped into plaque.

Even the miniscule doses of HCG that are administered for weight loss have the effect of increasing the proportion of free cholesterol. This just means that trapped cholesterol has a tendency to be loosened and reintroduced into circulation. This is a good thing.

Short Term and Long Term Effects of Releasing Trapped Cholesterol

The first thing that happens is that blood cholesterol levels shoot up. Depending on how much plaque has accumulated, this number can seem to be frighteningly high. Blood cholesterol spikes are highest in those who already have high levels of cholesterol or who have already been diagnosed with arterial hardening and blockage.

The effect over time of releasing trapped cholesterol into free form is a decrease in arterial blockages and a consequently freer circulation. The clinical indicator of this effect is lower blood pressure.

Even though Dr. Simeons admitted that a spike in cholesterol levels seemed scary at first, the net result a few months after the HCG diet was a normalization of cholesterol levels and blood pressure.

One Caution About Trapped Cholesterol

When plaque gets out of hand and leads to nearly complete arterial blockage, it has more than likely gone too far to benefit from the effects of HCG.
