Three Reasons Why Natural Diet Pills are Best

If you are trying to lose weight, there is a good chance that you have at least thought about diet pills.  With all the advertisements on TV, in magazines, and on the internet, it would be hard not to have seen something selling weight loss supplements.  When it comes down to it, you really have 2 main choices:  all natural diet pills or lab created diet pills.

In my humble opinion, there are 3 very good reasons why you should choose an all natural diet pills over their lab created cousins.

1.  They are safer.  Who are you going to trust to create something safe for you?  A guy in a lab coat working for the big drug companies or nature.

2.  They are cheaper.  When you look at weight loss supplements, you can get really cheap stuff, moderately priced stuff, or really expensive stuff.  A lot of your premium, man-made diet pills will run $100 or more per bottle.  High quality, all natural diet pills, usually run half of that or less ($30 to $50).

3.  They support your body.  Most natural weight loss supplements help you lose weight by supporting your bodies natural functions.  Many lab created supplements try to alter the way your body works.  I don't know about you, but I think my body knows best and don't want a pill changing the way it naturally behaves.

Thanks for reading!  I hope this has at least been a thought starter for you.  Please note, I am not a doctor, nutritionist, or anybody else qualified to give you personal health advice.  I am simply sharing my opinion on health supplements.  Please seek a doctor's opinion before making any changes to your diet.

Weight Loss Tips

Losing weight is one of the most searched topics on the internet around the world. Below are a few simple tips that can help you lose some weight regardless of where you currently are.

The average person drinks soda, coffee, tea, and other high calorie drinks on a daily basis. One way to ease into your weight loss campaign is to start eliminating those drinks and replacing them with water. The amount of calories you eliminate by drinking water instead of soda can easily help you lose 2 or 3 pounds a month if you do nothing else.

Water can also help you eat less. Not drinking enough water can actually lead to you eating more because dehydration is often confused by the body for hunger. Another way water can help you eat less is to have a big glass of water right before a meal. It will help you feel full faster and help you eat less. On top of that, having plenty of water in your system helps your body get rid of toxins which will help you feel better.

Most people don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables. If you make an effort to have one vegetable with each meal and have at least one fruit snack instead of a junk food snack each day, you will naturally lower the number of calories you eat and still feel full and satisfied. You can still have a satisfied meal, just start it with a nice salad. You could also use a health supplement like acai berries because there are a lot of health benefits including tons of antioxidants.

Now let’s talk about exercise. Even if you are doing a lot of exercises, chances are you can either do more of it or do more effective exercises. Here are a couple ideas for you to consider.

If you do no exercise at all, the first step is to get started. Don’t try to run a marathon or start doing wind sprints. Start slow. Walking is a great way to get started. If you can do it in the morning, it is a great way to get your blood flowing and start the day. If you want to walk in the evenings it is a great way to unwind after a busy day. The sooner you start, the sooner you will start losing weight.

If you are already walking or running, you can probably increase the intensity and get more out of your workout. One great way to do this is to do mixed intensity training. For example, start out walking for a couple minutes to get warmed up. Then jog at a slow pace for a minute. Follow that with a fast job for one minute. Finish off the interval with one minute or running as fast as you can. Once you peak, start back over with the slow jog (or walk). What happens is that you get your heart racing when you run fast then you catch your breath by going slower, but your heart keeps racing. This is almost like running fast the whole time, but you are able to catch your breath. This mixed intensity exercise is very effective at burning fat and improving your cardiovascular health.

This is just a few ideas for you. The key is to do something. Weight loss is a simple thing. You have to either burn more calories or eat less calories to lose weight. The more of one or both that you do the better the results will be. A few small changes are often easier to make than one big change and give you better results. Don’t stress out over trying to be perfect, just focus on being better. If you do that, you should get great results.

What to Do When Fitness Goes Bad

Whenever you are working out, there is a chance for injury.  Even if you don't injure yourself, working out creates sore muscles.  You need to prepare for the possibility that you will have pain in your life.

It doesn't take a geneous to know that most over the counter drugs are probably not real good for you.  At best, they don't hurt you, but I want a better option.  Fortunately, there is another option.  You can get a natural pain reliever.  Do some research and you are sure to find some natural pain relievers that you can feel good about.

I know this is a short post, but I just wanted to share a few thoughts on natural pain relief.

Weekend health woes

The weekend is here . . . wooo hooo!  I did so well during the week, but today the efforts to eat health took a big step backwards.  Has anybody else noticed how hard it is to eat well and be healthy when there is little or no structure.  During the week, I get up at the same time, eat the same time, go to work at the same time, and come home at the same time.  On the weekends, anything goes.  This usually means I am doing something until I get to the point of starvation then eat whatever is at hand - not good.

One of the best things you can do do try to keep your diet regular on the weekends is to have a plan.  Even if you don't have to get up at a specific time to get ready for work, do it anyways.  This will help you start your daily routine.  Assuming this daily routine is healthy, you can start having good weekends on your diet as well.

There are a couple references you may want to check out.  The first one is for my Canadian friends.  The second one for all the men out there who are looking to lose a few pounds.  I hope they help.

Why does good for you food taste so bad?

I am starting my third day of healthy eating and living.  The weekend went fairly well, but left me wondering "why does food that is good for you taste so bad?"  Seriosly - I just had a breakfast of water soaked raw almonds.  I know they are good for me and all, but why can't something that is good for me taste better.

One of the reasons healthy food doesn't taste as good is the sugar.  Like it or not, sugar tastes good.  And so does fat.  What makes it worse is that our normal diets of processed foods that are high in sugar and fat can actually desensitize our taste buds so naturally sweet things like berries don't taste as good because they just can't compete with processed sugars on the sweetness scale.  As the next few days and weeks go by, I know that my taste buds will adapt and healthy things will start tasting better.  Until then, I will just keep moving ahead with my bland tasting health food.

Somehow, I feel just a little bit better about health food knowing it will get better.  I just wish the transformation could be faster.  Even with more sensitive taste buds, I'm not sure raw almonds are ever going to taste all that good though . . . I guess I just have to suck it up and do what's best for my body.

Have a healthy day!

When in Rome . . . run away screaming!

I just watched "When in Rome".  The movie looked really good when I saw the preview, but as with most movies, it didn't live up to the expectations.  It just seems that too often all of the good scenes and funny lines are used in the previews and the rest of the movie falls woefully short of expectations.

The concept of the movie is ok, but it just turns into a jumbled mess.  If you want to find out more about it, here is a link for the movie:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1185416/

If you choose to rent this movie, I hope you like it.  Don't have too high of expectations and it may meet them.  That's all for now.  More random topics tomorrow . . . or whenever I get the itch to write again.

Thanks for reading!
