Appetite control patches are quite popular right now considering so many public are looking to regain that willpower and control they once had before the holidays seemed to magically rip every ounce of self control out from underneath them. Oh, oops sorry I’m talking more about myself than anyone else!

So is anyone else feeling the serious pain that I am after the holidays putting on their work pants and getting back into the swing of things, only to find that their work pants -even the “bigger” ones aren’t fitting quite right?  Well, that was me. I was in for a very impolite awakening after I allowed myself to indulge, indulge again, and soon after again that holiday season.

Even when I wasn’t hitting a holiday operate or having food sitting in front of me at work or taunting me at other gatherings, I seemed to still invent poor food choices. I think it’s considering in our minds, we often figure why even bother during times when it seems like resistence is futile and we’re going to be tempted at every turn anyway.

It literally works all day expanded by slowly moment releasing the starvation control ingredients in to the blood stream, effectively reducing your appetite and cravings for things like sugar, carbs and fats.

I like them considering they seem to work pretty quickly after you attach them to your skin.

Many Diet Pills Come with Side Effects

The sad things about most diet pills is that they just about all come with some sort of unsavory side effect.  particularly the heavy hitters, the ones you have to go to a doc to get the prescription for. It seems that nearly every big weightloss drug that’s been put on the market is either found to have serious side effects and taken off the market later, or is forced to put huge warnings on the product.

Heck, look at Alli (orlistat), the nonprescription sister of the prescription weightloss drug Xenical.  that one is notorious considering of its potentially embarrassing and very uncomfortable side effect. It is known for producing water stool and diarrhea when too much fat is taken in.

People have literally gone in their pants with that stuff and had leakage, so that’s pretty unsavory and has prevented a lot of society from staying on it very lengthy.  soon after there are the heavy hitters like Meridia which I believe was finally taken off the market considering of potential heart problems.

And who can forget the Phen Fen catastrophe? citizens actually lost their lives due to that deadly combination of prescription diet drugs. Heart problems were plus associated with the drug, which is a shame considering it was actually effective for weight loss. There are of course herbal phentermine options available and the one part of the drug, phentermine I believe is still available on the market for prescription use.


Then you have some problems even with the OTC stuff or stuff you can buy on the Web that’s herbal or all natural. First off, there have been a couple of scandals about “herbal” products actually containing potentially dangerous and interactive prescription drugs.

Second off, there have been scandals about some of the herbs and ingredients themselves. Consider the ephedrine ban. Ephedrine was linked to heart issues such as rapid heartbeat, arrhythmia and other problems associated with the fact that it tended to assemble the heart beat too fast.

Of course, that is the same reason it kept the appetite down, considering it had you on “speed” motion all day towering!  I know a lot of the herbal diet pills out there now give me that “shaky” feeling, like I’m going to pass out, or like I just can’t calm down.

Some of them even have made me feel sick, like I’m going to throw up. certain, they’ve killed my appetite, but at what cost? Making me feel like crap all day?  These are all reasons that I’ve consistently turned to non-stimulant diet aids like carb cutters and hoodia appetite suppressants. They help me to get that additional “willpower” to not eat so much without making me a nervous, jittery mess!

Low Carbing It Again to Cut Weight Fast

So, it’s after the holidays and I really, really indulged that date. Too much. Waaaay too much.  After a week of work, I returned to the grind by waking up at the crack of dawn and finding that none of my work pants fit me.

I ended up having to wear an terrible pair of sparkly pants that I never would set foot in whether I were able to fit in any other of my “big girl” pants.  Even my largest size I’ve allowed myself to buy did not fit me. They wouldn’t even button at the waist – a certain sign that I needed to go on a very serious diet and lose weight very quickly.

The diet I nearly always turn to when I need to simply cut weight really fast is the low carb diet. My body really responds to these types of diets considering I’m normally such a carbaholic that my body just goes into total calorie burn mode when I totally cut them out.

In my mind, the low carb diet is among the easiest to follow. I find I don’t have to be so militant about totally cutting fat and calories down with the low carb plan considering my body is burning off everything I eat due to such low carb intake anyway.


I plus find that, while I do crave carbs and could probably benefit from a carb cutter or some similar supplement from date to day, I am not hugry a lot on that diet considering I’m able to eat in quantities that are satiable to me.

Other diets, where you eat more of a balanced diet and include carbs and fruits and desserts, I feel deprived considering the portions are so teeny.  I can actually eat things like brats with mustard and burgers with cheese, and big chicken salads with dressing that’s not fat free.

I get to feel like I’m indulging, but really I’m still keeping that carb burn up and not adding too many excess carbs to burn, so my body is still using up all the fuel I’m giving it and starting to burn off the stores of fat since I’m depriving it of the “gas” that is carbs.

I’m only on day three so far of my nearly carb-free diet, and I can already tell a difference in the way my clothes are fitting. My pants are still tight, but at least I can button them.

Were You Shocked When Something in Your Pantry Turned Out to Have Trans Fats?

Well I can tell you, I was!  Funny how something you’ve been using for years and never thought twice about tends to seem insidious when you find out it has that all too scary unhealthy buzzword “trans fats” in it.  For me, it was our treasured nondairy coffee creamer we had used in our dawn coffee – every wee hours mind you – for years.

We started using it considering it was low carb, and we were your traditional “low carbers” a few years ago when we started using the convenient stuff instead of traditional creamers like milk or liquid creamers that don’t have trans fats in them.

Oh, let’s go by what trans fats are again too. They are regular chained fats that have another fatty chain added to them called hydrogen. that makes them even more dangerous to your heart health and can clog your arteries even worse than other fats that do not have the additional hydrogen added.

So many processed and packaged foods have these trans fats today, although now with public awareness rising, they are being removed from some.  The reason these prepackaged foods have them is considering they are both cheap and tasty.


They can literally increase the shelf life of a food product by months or years. That is a warning signal right there. That’s akin to parabens in skin care – you know it’s just not natural for something to have a shelf life of five years.

So, what are some healthier options to trans fat loaded powdered creamers?  Well, you can try finding a powdered creamer that is void of the ingredient “partially hydrogenated” anything, but good luck with that considering I haven’t found one yet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated on that front!

However, there are some healthier liquid options.  You can use skim, 2% or whole milk of course.  I prefer organic in milk though considering it is void of the toxins that so frequently inhabit dairy products.

There is plus full on creamer, or heavy cream. Now that is a truly fattening option, so try to limit the amount you use. You really only need a tiny bit whether using heavy cream, that’s the good part, considering a little goes a very towering way.

Fad Diets of 2011


Well, 2011 is by officially. What I can’t believe is that there really were not any new, radically different fad diets that cropped up.  I mean, you have the infamous butter shortage that happened in Norway.

This was considering Norwegians seemed to have really taken the to the high protein, high fat diet that was all the rage here in the US in the sixties, again in the seventies, and soon after again in the nineties – otherwise known as the Atkins diet, named after the Doctor that conceived and wrote about the diet.

Aside from that, we had the lemonade diet which seems to crop up here and there, and a little resurgence of the cookie diet.  Both of these sound terribly unhealthy by the way.

There was additionally a bit of new talk about the Mayo Clinic diet, which is a primarily liquid diet that is designed to help patients lose a lot of weight in a short period of day for things like surgeries and procedures that require it.

Then there were the other “usuals” that tend to crop up every few years and surge in popularity for no obvious reason.  There’s the disgusting baby food diet, which puts you on only baby food, so no wonder why you lose weight.

This diet uses the same basis as the liquid diet – you nearly always lose weight when you get all your calories through things that are liquefied.  Let’s face it, when all texture is gone, and you lose the visual appearance of your food as part of the whole palate pleasing experience, you’re a lot less likely to by eat, right!?

Then there is the all too infamous “Master Cleanse” diet. that one was sold as a small, nearly pamphlet-like book by the same name. It started off as a trend a couple decades ago, and re-emerged as a Hollywood trend in the early 21st century.

This diet is based on an all liquid diet of a concoction of water, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and maple syrup.  The view is that you sustain your blood sugar just decent not to pass out, sipping that drink all day lengthy.  It is supposed to starve (did I say starve?) I mean cleanse your body of toxins and help you shed weight very quickly.

However, lots of humans who tried that diet claimed that it just led them to gain the weight right back after they even ate a morsel of food. plus, some experts claim the diet is downright dangerous considering it essentially is starving the body, which may explain the “euphoria” so many public explain feeling at or after day 3 on the diet.

I tried that diet and didn’t produce it past day 2.  It was hard when I smelled food, for certain. However, I did notice how much I seemed to really get done while I was not focusing on food as a main entertainment and pastime in my life.

I do think that sort of “education” is valuable. However, I don’t know that that diet is healthy by the faraway term as it may end up sabotaging the metabolism by a expanded period of moment on and off that diet.

Black Beans Good for Weight Loss?


Black beans are a food that is well known in vegetarian and vegan circles. that is considering they contain only the tiniest amount of dietary fat, they are tasty and have many uses, and they have a ton of filling fiber, as well as some other vitamins and nutrients that help you to maintain a svelte figure.

Just one cup of black beans contains about 15 grams of protein. Protein, particularly when combined with fiber, is very filling. Now I know what you’re thinking. Sounds like it might produce you a tad uncomfortable, right? Well, there is no denying the gas-inducing powers of beans of any sort.

However, you can help to mitigate that by buying only organic black beans. You can plus reduce it by rinsing the beans thoroughly before using them. that helps to rinse away some of the gas-causing stuff.  Of course whether you’re making rice and beans, you usually want all that oily stuff, but whether not, next invent certain you rinse it all off.

There is a theory I heard once. I’m not certain how much stock I should put in it. The theory is that organic beans may actually cause less gas than non-organic kinds. Why would that be?

It is supposedly due to the pesticides and chemicals that are heavily sprayed on beans.  Unfortunately, beans contain high levels of pesticides – that includes coffee beans as well.  Since organic is called for to be grown without pesticides, fungicides and other chemicals, you may experience less gastrointestinal discomfort from these naturally favourable beans.

The good thing about black beans, in my opinion, is their flavor.  I actually enjoy them more than kidney beans in a traditional chili. I additionally like them in soups and stir fries.  They are much softer than other types of legumes, and I appreciate that.

I prefer to eat them out of a can rather than reconstituted from the dried bean, but that’s just me. They are much easier to use that way, and they are prepped for instant use so you can use them in easier recipes.

Black beans contain phytonutrients including the following : anthocyanin flavonoids: delphinidin, petunidin, and malvidin. They additionally contain manganese, tryptophan (yes, the same stuff that’s in turkey that makes you sleepy), magnesium, vitamin B1 and iron.

They are thought to be favourable to the digestive tract, even though some don’t think that due to their ability to cause flatulence in some folks.  Black beans are overall a great source of fiber, some vitamins, and protein and qualify as an excellent diet food.

It’s True : Emotions Reflect Our Diet


A new book has come out that really focuses on the connection amoung what we eat and the moods we tend to inhabit the majority of the day. While there is of course the occasional anomoly (ie, folks who eat great and still are miserable all the time), it is largely true that when it comes to our emotions, we really are what we eat.

The new book is called the Happiness Diet. It focuses on foods that it says can help to boost mood, fight off anxiety and generally help you to avoid depressed moods and depression in general. In short, eating a assured way can definitely help form your happiness factor go way, way up.

While it supposedly doesn’t focus much on the exercise component of well being and happiness, it does focus on the fact that most Americans eat a diet that is simply the worst possible thing they can do to help their mood.

Our diets now primarily consist of overly processed foods. These foods by their very nature tend to be high in fat, salt and sugar. They are additionally loaded with unhealthy preservatives and chemicals to extend their shelf life. Not to mention they contain trans fats, which are cheaper fats with longer shelf lives that really clog our arteries.

These foods burn off quickly and leave us craving more – more junk!  They usually contain large amounts of carbs as well, which is the worst thing we can eat when we are dieting since simple carbs tend to burn off very quickly leaving you quivering with starvation.

The book recommends you eat things that satisfy you, and are minimally processed. It’s a different book, considering it doesn’t necessarily advocate going all low fat on everything. In fact, it encourages you to enjoy some full fat items so that you can get your healthy fats in the diet as well as some satisfying feelings that you are eating things that will “stick to your ribs”.

Overall, you may be eating more calories than on other diets, but the thought is that you will lose weight considering the ‘whole’ foods you are eating are more satisfying, leading you to intake less food overall.

Very interesting theory! I certainly like it better than starving on fat free, nutritionless foods!
