Natural Diet
Whether you are looking for the perfect diet for weight loss, or want to improve your health and vitality there doesn't seem to be a one size fits all solution. There are many factors that will affect your ability to stick to and do well on any one eating plan,such as your state of health, metabolism and what foods you like and dislike. The only rule that seems to apply across the board is the ELMORE diet. That is Eat Less and MOve around moRE. No matter what path you choose, if it doesn't include a strategy for taking in less calories and burning more, odds are you will not succeed.
Guide to Weight Loss supplements
There is a whole lot of smoke and mirrors in the realm of weight loss supplements, which is why I generally stick to my weight loss teas. When purchasing a weight loss supplement it is best to
skip the promotional claims, remain unimpressed with the pseudo scientific name and go straight to the ingredient list. After researching the herbs, minerals and vitamins contained in the formulas, I ask myself the following:
- 1. Is there at least a plausible basis for the benefits claimed, and is there multiple sources that back it up?
- 2. Is the amount of the active ingredient sufficient to have the desired effect? Many formulas do not contain anywhere close to the amounts used in the studies they quote as proof of their products effectiveness. Some have a long laundry list of ingredients in a "proprietory blend" that leaves me to wonder what amounts are used. These type of formulas are usually the most expensive, and make the most exaggerated claims. Be sceptical
- 3. Is the manufacturer well known? If it is someone new, I always look up their website and make a judgement call from the information I find there.
- 4. Price. If I cant afford to buy it, it's not going to do much good now is it.
- 5. Stimulants. People have very different reactions and tolerances to stimulants. Personally there are only a few I can tolerate, and those only in small amounts. (you make like them.)
