Colon Cleanse

“I’ll have a diet soda please.” How many times have you uttered those words? Most dieters have as these drinks often have little or no calories.  Some of us crave soda and use diet soda to help curb those cravings the logic being you get the same or similar taste of soda without all the calories.  What most of us including me didn’t know is that replacing regular soda with diet soda can actually ignite not only your appetite but your sugar cravings as well.

Diet soda is filled with among other things artificial sweeteners as opposed to real sugar. Some studies have indicated that when artificial sweeteners are consumed our body sends the sweet signals to our brain but we never actually get the sugar rush which leaves us vulnerable to getting that rush elsewhere. This is where the sugar cravings come in.  Although you may be saving calories with the diet soda, fulfilling your sugar cravings later on will cause you to make up for the calories you saved and then some.

There have been and continue to be lots of studies about the role diet soda plays on ones health as well as the role it plays with ones weight.  A majority of the studies show that there is definitely a link between both regular and diet soda and being overweight. What is both surprising and alarming is that in a study done by a Sharon P. Fowler, MPH and her colleagues at the University of Texas health science center, they found that people who only drank diet soda had a higher risk of obesity than those who drank regular soda.  Of course no one is saying that by drinking diet soda you will definitely gain weight but studies are showing that there is a link between soda and being overweight and even more so with Diet soda.

Not only is diet soda linked with weight, but diet soda also contains lots of unhealthy and unnatural things like chemicals, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, phosphoric acid and sodium.  Aspartame which is one of the most frequently used artificial sweeteners in diet soda has been looked at several times by the FDA and although they maintain that the sweetener is safe reported side effects include dizziness, headaches, memory loss, mood changes, and diarrhea. In an animal research study Aspartame was also showed that when consumed in high amounts it can lead to brain tumors and lymphoma in rodents. There have also been studies done on many of the other artificial sweeteners which resulted in some of them even being banned.

 Bottom line, the jury is still out on just how safe or unsafe diet sodas ingredients are but what we do know is that diet soda isn’t a safe or effective diet choice and its 100% nutrition free. Diet soda is not only a poor diet choice it is also an unhealthy choice. So next time you find yourself ready to utter the “I’ll have a diet soda please” skip the diet soda and ask for water or a low calorie option that has some nutrients.

Women want men with bigger and thicker penises! Well at least that is all you seem to hear and read about lately on the radio, in magazines and TV commercials lately. Ever since Viagra came around it seems everyone is now selling a natural male enhancement promising bigger penises, bigger erections and more stamina. Although in my opinion bigger isn’t always better it seems to be the goal men are relentlessly searching for. The problem with male sex enhancers is that there are many reasons/issues that will cause a man to search for a pill whether it is just for size or for impotence. Some of these causes can be medical and there can be underlying issues, pre-existing medical conditions and or medications that a male is taking. Although these products contain natural ingredients safety should be a major concern when taking these pills. To ensure that you keep safety in mind and to ensure that you don’t get scammed keep these few tips in mind when choosing your next all natural male enhancement.

• Ingredients

Only order from sites who list ingredients so that you can do your own research, know what you are getting and or review the ingredients with your doctor to make sure you are able to take the product especially if you are taking any medications and or have any pre-existing conditions.

• Penis creams and exercises

Skip sites that on top of making you order their pills also make you buy and or start a regimen. There are sites that sell creams and tell you in addition to the pills you purchased you are to rub the cream on 3 times a day along with doing the ridiculous exercises they recommend for you to do 3 times a day and some even sell exercise equipment to use (OUCH!). Some of the recommended exercises, equipment and regimens can not only be painful, time consuming, inconvenient, costly and dangerous they also haven’t proven to be effective in helping to achieve an erection or grow a bigger penis.

• Outrageous claims

Beware of sites that make ridiculous claims such as “grow 6 inches in 3 days”. Use your head and when I say head I mean the one on top of your shoulders. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Last time I checked other than surgery there isn’t a magical pill or cream that will actually add inches or skin to your penis in any length of time.

If you keep these 3 tips in mind when making your next sexual enhancement purchase you can save yourself time, money and possibly an embarrassing emergency room visit. If you’re still having trouble finding a product try Irexis. Irexis doesn’t claim to add inches instead they use natural ingredients that are known to help provide bigger, stronger and firmer erections as well as enhanced sexual drive and stamina. Irexis also lists the ingredients and is also backed by a 90 day money back guarantee.

Thinking about taking a diet supplement and cant decide? with all the different pills and claims out there how do you decide? In order for a diet supplement to be successful part of your diet regimine there are a few things you should know and stay away from. Here are a few claims companies make that if you see you should stay away from.

#1. Eat all the cake and cookies you want!

Unfortunately there really isn’t a pill out there where you can continue to eat irresponsibly and still loose weight. In order to loose weight you will have to reduce your caloric intake and make smarter food choices.

#2. Lose weight without altering your diet or getting off the couch

Sounds amazing doesn’t it? Eat whatever you want, however much you want all while sitting on the couch all day, pop a pill and shed pounds. Unfortunately there is no way you can continue to make bad choices and binge eat and not exercise and loose weight. Loosing weight requires diet and some sort of activity.

#3. Never Diet Again!

If it were actually possible that there was a pill out there that you can take to loose weight and the weight would permanently stay off there would be no such thing as diet, exercise or anyone being overweight. In order to loose weight permanently you must make permanent changes. Permanent weight loss requires ongoing maintenance.

#4. Lose 1-2 pounds per day

Rapid weight loss is a no, no for many reasons. Losing lots of weight very quickly is bad for your health. Most dieticians say loosing 1-2 pounds a week by making healthy food choices, watching portion sizes and incorporating physical activity into your daily life is the most effective way to loose weight and keep it off.

#5. Everybody will loose weight!

Unfortunately there are no one size fits all products guaranteed to work for anyone and everyone. There are many factors that contribute to why or why not someone has success or does not with a product. Since everyone is different everyone’s factors are different but no matter what your factors are the pill remains the same and so it is impossible for a company to guarantee there pill will work for everyone and if it did there would be no need for any other pill. 

So, when choosing a diet pill keep these 5 points in mind and remember that there are no miracle pills. A diet supplement should only be the addition to your weight loss plan not “the plan” itself. Adding an all natural diet supplement while incorporating diet and exercise is one of the most effective ways to loose weight. Still having trouble finding a supplement? Try Metabo-Speed. Metabo-Speed doesn’t just do one thing like a lot of the other pills out there, I found Metabo-Speed to be a really well rounded diet pill helping with all areas of weight loss. Metabo-Speed has ingredients that are known to help suppress appetite, boost metabolism, burn fat and give energy which all dieters lack and need when you are taking in less calories and exercising.

The holidays can be a tough time for anyone especially when you’re trying to stick to a weight loss plan.  There’s Thanksgiving, holiday parties and gift baskets filled with cookies and treats. There is just no way you can run from it all and as soon as you indulge you go into a guilty food frenzy eating everything and anything you know you shouldn’t.  Here are some tips that will help you get through the holidays without throwing that diet out the window and gaining back everything you worked so hard to loose.

• Don’t Skip Meals: This is probably one of the most important things to remember because everyone does it. You tell yourself I’m going to save all my calories for later and starve myself all day.  Anyone who has tried this method should already know it doesn’t work. Starving yourself all day only makes you starving at the party causing you to eat way more than would have if you weren’t so hungry. Depriving yourself  for long periods of time only ignites your appetite beyond control and enhances cravings for "guilty foods” when you finally feed your appetite. Do; however make smarter low calorie choices during the day so you can have extra calories for later.

• Bring Gum: Bring gum to the party to help curb your cravings and pop a piece every time you feel   yourself going for something you really don’t have to have but can’t stop eyeing. Chewing gum will keep you mouth too busy for you to stuff any of those high calorie Hor D’oeuvres or bowls of nuts you can never have just one of.

• Wear Snug Clothes: O’ how tempting it is to wear the big comfy shirt and stretchy pants that leave room for more and hide it to. Wearing tighter clothing makes you worry more about sucking that tummy in therefore leaving you less time to worry about that second helping or what you’ll eat next.

• Love it!: As well as being a fellow dieter I happen to be a compulsive shopper and there’s a rule I use that keeps me from over shopping and buying things I won’t wear when I get back home and the rule is: “If you don’t love it don’t buy it”.  This rule holds true for food to. If you don’t love it, don’t eat it! Don’t waste an indulgence on something that’s just there; make sure it’s something you have to have. You will see that thinking twice about food will have you putting down more than you put in your mouth.

• Portion Control: You can still enjoy the same foods everyone else is enjoying as long as you watch your portion size. Portion control is an important aspect to effective dieting. The best thing to do is to take a smaller plate like an appetizer plate and limit the variety of things you take.

• Drink Seltzer or Water: Try and stay away from the alcohol as those drinks are usually packed with calories and carbs.  Instead drink Seltzer or water especially 30 minutes before eating and it will naturally suppress your appetite so you will eat less.

• Don’t! pass up the pie: Yup, I said it. Take that piece of pie! You earned it.  What I mean is don’t completely eliminate all the guilty foods. If you eliminate all the guilty foods from your diet at some point you’re going to indulge and you won’t be able to stop and you will just regain everything you lost if not more than you lost. So allow yourself some treats here and there and just remember portion control when doing so.

• Grab a Partner: If you’re going to a party and you know another family member or friend that will be there is dieting also stick with them and help each other through the event.  You will be on your best behavior because you will know someone is watching and there will be someone close by who can empathize with you.

• Re-Gift: I know it sounds a little tacky but really who needs the temptation take those gift baskets and fruitcakes and give them to someone else not only do you eliminate temptation but you save yourself some $$.

• Exercise: Ugh... I know it’s the dieter’s dreaded 8 letter word, but adding just a little activity to your daily routine can help boost your metabolism and burn fat giving you extra calories to use later on at the party or help you burn the ones you used last night. Try taking the stairs instead of the elevator or instead of circling for a close spot in that packed parking lot Park extra far and walk. These little things here and there will naturally boost your metabolism and have you feeling better about all the holiday indulgences 

 Hopefully these tips will help you keep on track during the holiday. I know, it’s hard but don’t give up if you overindulge.  Don’t let the holidays because stress and frustration every little but you do now will help you reach your goal later even if you slip up here and there.  And if you find you need an extra boost after a lot of slipping up try a diet supplement like Metabo-Speed. Metabo-Speed helps reduce weight by speeding up the metabolism, burning fat and suppressing the appetite. Taking pounds off while suppressing the appetite is a great formula for success.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to eat cake and ice cream every day all while sitting on the couch day after day watching T.V and just be able to Pop a pill and lose 30 lbs? Unfortunately the reality is that there are no Magic pills that will do that. Dieting requires discipline, work, and at times for you to feel hungry.  There is just no way to lose weight without feeling hungry occasionally.  There is however certain natural ingredients that will assist with reducing hunger pangs, increase your metabolism naturally and promote an optimal environment for loosing weight.

     1. Hoodia Gordonii:

Most dieters #1 problem is appetite suppression. It’s like as soon as you commit to being on a diet suddenly your appetite has spiraled out of control and you want to eat anything and everything even when you’re not really hungry. Hoodia is a great supplement to have as part of a weight loss program because what it does is trick the brain into the thinking it’s full when it’s not so it will curb your cravings of things giving you a dieter’s appetite! There are over 13 different types of Hoodia but only South African Hoodia Gordonii is said to contain the one active ingredient “p57”. To ensure you are getting Genuine South African Hoodia make sure you order from a company that has a C.I.T.E.S certificate and Certificate of Analysis.

    2.  Acai Berry (ah-sigh-EE):

This berry has made a real hit in the last few years. Out of nowhere all everyone seems to be talking about is Acai berry. So what is it? This edible berry is loaded with natural antioxidants and vitamins.  The concentration of anti-oxidants is significantly higher than the amounts found in blueberries, Gingko Biloba, red wine and oranges. So you can see all the health benefits of this famous berry but you’re still asking what’s with all the weight loss hype, right? Acai Berry contains lots of fiber which in turn not only helps your body digest foods correctly it also helps your body remove food rather than letting your body just absorb the food which then ultimately turns to fat. The combination of fatty acids, fiber, phytosterols and amino acids all work together to help your body burn fat more efficiently. 

    3.  Chromium Polynicotinate:

This mineral is a natural metabolism enhancer which has been known to increase metabolism as well as reducing your appetite, promote weight loss, build muscle, reduce body fat and promote energy all of which are key to a successful weight loss program. 

You may find that a supplement like Curb‘n’Burn has everything you are looking for. Curb n Burn contains all the aforementioned ingredients including many more ingredients not mentioned that are also all known to assist with weight loss, appetite suppression and enhancing or increasing your metabolism naturally.
