You all know that I have used nutriSystem back in the fall of 2005 to spring of 2006 and how well it worked for me and many of my friends too, right? Well, I was just on the net browsing and noticing at many different sites or forums of many people inquiring about “NutraSystem“. I was like NutraSystem? Okay, first I was thinking maybe there is another diet called NutraSystem, but as I keep reading they were really talking about Nutrisystem.

I could not believe how many people were searching for this program and how often the name was spelled incorrectly, not that I am the spelling guru here or anything. But the correct spelling for this program is “NutriSystem” and for those that are still seeking answers like does this program works, it does! Give or take 5-10lbs I have kept the remainder of the 50-65lbs of it off for almost 2 years now this May 20th! So that have to tell you something right?

Her plan consists of a balanced diet where she gives you recipes and grocery list to shop for. She also includes awesome workouts to get you shedding those pounds like they do on the biggest loser show too.

Was it just me or was today’s show just okay? I just finished watching it because I had to drop off our son to grandpa’s for the night. I was so glad I could fast forward through certain parts. The part of the show that got to me was when Kim was watching the video left by Bryan, the former red team member that was eliminated last week. It was emotional and Kim did change his life forever and that is what I liked about the show. The other thing that was interest in that the black team is getting a little big headed having the majority vote now. I guess that is the way it goes, but dang!

I was shocked that they voted Nicole off because this week she wasn’t the biggest threat. You know? But the black team sticks together and I guess that’s what a team member should do. What do you think about that? I am just praying that Neil remains to be in the final four. We have got to see a blue team member left. Who do you think will be in the final four? My thoughts are:

  1. Neil
  2. Bill
  3. Hollie
  4. Isabeau

Anyway we will see next week.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket  I was finding myself browsing the other day in my oxygen magazine and online for some nutritional supplements or a multi-vitaman that I can take on a daily basis as recommend by my doctor. I came across this site called choice nutritionals as I was browsing today. I found that they are a retailer that offer quality vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements & nutritional supplement from Garden of Life, Mt. Capra, Sovereign Silver and Natural Calm. This includes products for the Makers Diet; primal defense, goatein, omegazyme, perfect food, air filters and water filters. They also offer organic skin & personal care items from Miessence, and organic essential oils from Oshadhi as well as high quality blenders from Ktec and dehydrators from Excalibur.

I have never heard of this company until today and they seem to have very good pricing for their line of products that is not outrageously expensive. The website is very simple and basic, so in essence it is easy to navigate. The don’t the popular brands that I know of, but it is a start. Have any of you heard of this company? Also have you used any of the supplements or vitamins? If so what is your favorite?

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket    Did you all see the Biggest Loser episode night? Oh my! The red team’s trainer, Kim Lyons, is going to be pist!! Why? Well the red team lost the weigh in and since David was the biggest loser on his team he was given immunity from being voted off. As a result, Amy, Phil and Bryan was left with the possibility of going home. Before the elimination Kim had a meeting with the red team and advise them not to send Phil home since he was the one carrying the team and winning most if not all of the challenges for them. And, to make matters worse she said if they voted him off she would fear that the red team would lose every weigh in which I completely agree with because it is a numbers game. On top of that, she told them to not have the voting to come to a tie because this would leave the fate of their team in the hands of the blue team to decided who should go home. So, if the blue team would be the deciding factor they would be dumb not to vote off Phil because he is a threat to them in future challenges. I felt bad for Amy. because that automaticaly made her a target for getting voted off. I can understand why she was mad, but this is a numbers game.

As a result, the elimination came and it did come to a tie. So with that said the blue team did decided to vote off Phil. It was a bitter sweet. The entire cast in the elimination room, blue team and red team, was both in tears. Hell, I was in tears. Phil felt great that everyone thought that he was a threat and how awesome was he to share some words of encouragement to everyone before he left. WAY TO GO PHIL!!! Even though Phil left he did not stop and continued to lose weight from home, inspire his family members to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle and he looks AWESOME!! I can’t wait until the season finally to see who wins the prize for the group of member that did not make the final 3.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket   Interesting.. I don’t know why I was looking at this but, I guess I was looking because I have maybe 10-15 pounds of fat lingering around my body, especially around the abdomen, butt, and thighs that will not leave. So I was curious and kept reading about this new product that will be hitting the market very soon. It is called Akavar 20/50. Have anyone of you heard of this product? What I found is they claim that Akävar™-20/50 restricts your caloric intake to below your normal daily caloric consumption, you literally pull excess fat from all over your body, including your waist, hips, thighs and buttocks (the body’s natural fat storage sites)… leaving your body thinner, trimmer and sexier than you ever thought possible. Akävar™-20/50 helps draw out bulging pockets of fat and prevents the further conversion and storage of excess fat all over your body. Now who wouldn’t want results like that? I know I would because of this excess body fat the remains in the areas I mentioned above. I weight 159 lbs and I really don’t need to lose more weight I really need to build more muscle. Anyway, take a gander at this information and if sounds like something for you great!! If not that’s okay too, but remember to consult your physican before trying something like this or any pill.Tags: weight loss, weight loss pills, akavar 20/50, diet, fat

Hi everyone!! In leu of my previous post I came across an interesting article regarding weight loss supplements for women. I hope this may help some of you that may have concerns or questions on this topic. Enjoy!!

The Truth About Women’s Weight Loss Supplements
By Phillip England

These days, people, especially women, are becoming more conscious about their weight. Thin is the new trend. Just look at different fashion magazines and celebrity photos. Everyone seems to be sporting slender bodies. It’s a sad fact that the main measure of a woman’s attractiveness isn’t her brain or personality, but her waistline. This is probably the reason for the growing proliferation of weight loss supplements for women.

In the United States, 36% of women are obese. There is a considerable market size for diet pills. A lot of companies now offer weight loss supplements designed specifically for women. There are just too many choices, each one promising favorable results in a matter of weeks. While a perfect body can boost your confidence, it is important to make sure that your weight loss supplements wouldn’t harm your body in any way. So before making your selection as to which diet supplement to take, you need to be properly informed about what’s in them first.

Natural does not equal healthy

One of the new trends in women’s weight loss supplements include the use of herbal diet pills. For most consumers, they think that when a product is made of herbs and other all-natural substances, it’s considered safe.

But this is not really the case. While herbal supplements contain all-natural ingredients, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they cannot be detrimental to your health. Some of these supplements may prove to be effective because they contain ephedrine. Unfortunately, studies prove that ephedrine can cause an increase in heart rate which can lead to a dozen other cardiovascular disorders.

Some herbal weight loss supplements for women also contain laxatives which are highly addictive. If you continue to take these stuff over extended periods of time, you may end up getting hooked to the substance and your body may not be able to function properly without it.

Caffeine and weight loss

Some weight loss supplements for women are also known to contain caffeine, which is believed to curb the appetite. As a stimulant, it aids in increasing one’s energy levels and tolerance for exercise pain. The only downside is caffeine can also increase the heart rate and constrict your blood vessels which is why people with high blood pressure are strongly advised against drinking coffee. If you’re thinking of using a diet supplement that contains caffeine, make sure to cut out on caffeinated drinks like coffee and sodas because there are weight loss products that contain an equivalent of 30 cans of coke. That’s more than enough caffeine-intake to last you a lifetime.

Calcium is not just for the bones

Recent studies have proven that calcium can also aid in weight loss. There are weight loss supplements for women that contain this mineral in considerable amounts because of its fat-burning capabilities. According to research, a low-calcium diet can lead to weight gain because the mineral helps in maintaining your body weight by burning excess fat. While it’s safe for you to take calcium supplements as a way to lose weight, it’s probably much better if you just go all-natural and add calcium in your daily meal. Drinking milk isn’t fattening. In fact, studies show that milk can even aid in weight loss because it contains substances that creates a feeling that you have a full stomach thereby suppressing your urge to eat more.

Bottom line is…

Before taking any dietary supplement, it’s always best to consult your physician to make sure that you’re not taking anything that could be harmful to your health. Always check the labels on over-the-counter diet pills to find out what’s in them. Ephedra, for instance, has been banned by the FDA as a fat-burning substance because of its known connection to increased heart rate and blood vessel constriction. If you’re not entirely sure about what’s in the diet pills available in your local drugstore, better not buy them in the first place.

Another thing that you must remember is that taking dietary supplements is not the only way to lose weight. There are much safer methods out there that are more effective in getting you to the perfect body you’ve always wanted. At the end of the day, a healthy and balanced diet and proper exercise is the best way to shed off those calories. Supplements cannot help you maintain your desired weight forever but a healthy lifestyle can.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketWhy is there so much buzz about diet pills these days? You have seen it advertised on the television like Hoodia, Hydroxycut, Miracle burn, and CortiSlim. I have been one to test the waters in the past before my nutrisystem journey but I always wondered if they really work? How about you? I was visiting this site called DietAwarenessInstitute.org and found that they compare products from a wide array of companies and gives an analysis of each product with a common comparisons rating so that people like use can make an informed decision before buying diet supplements. You know I am one to say just loose the weight through diet and exercise because I know it works! However, if there are some of you that are just curious to try some weight loss supplements consider checking out this site before wasting money. I would also recommend consulting with your doctor as well.
