Posted by Admin | Interesting News | Sunday 28 September 2008 11:02 pm

There are many ways to lose weight. Keeping your head about you is the best advice that can be given.

THe following summary from the The Grand Forks Herald is right to the point.

There are countless books on the latest fad diet, the secret to weight loss and even books on how to love your body. There are also hundreds of diet pills on the market and hundreds more different diets out there to choose from. So how do you know what is OK and what is not? Fad diets There are a couple of simple rules to follow when thinking of going on a diet. But often you would lose only a few pounds more than you would by just eating healthy and exercising regularly.

Fit it into your schedule, even if you can do only 30 minutes at least three times a week. Don’t fall into the advertising ploys that tell you that your fat is going to melt off in weeks. If you’re trying to lose a lot of weight, it’s going to take a long time. A healthy weight loss is a half pound to 2 pounds a week. And if you lose weight healthily, you are much more likely to keep all the weight off. More than 90 percent of those who go on fad diets gain all of their weight back — sometimes more — within two years after dieting.

If you can’t give up all sweets, don’t set that as your goal. Start small with a goal that you know you can accomplish, and start with a short time span in which you have to accomplish the goal.

An example of this may be to do a cardio workout for 30 minutes, three days a week, for one month. Make it your goal to get three servings of vegetables every day, or make it your goal to drink more water. They key thing to remember in weight loss is that you have to burn more calories than you take in. Read the full article here

Fast Weight Loss – Remember to Lose Weight Safely

Posted by Admin | Government Reports | Thursday 25 September 2008 12:24 am


The goal of all diet plans is to lose weight fast, easily and safely.
But the most important factor for every dieter is speed. Along with speed comes some risk so read the guidelines below to add some safe practices to your dieting.

To help with a weight loss plan take a look at the free trials offered on this site. You will be surprised at how easy it is to find a plan that is right for you.

Are You Over Weight? Slim Down for Good Health
Over weight people have a greater risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and other illnesses. Losing weight reduces the risk. This brochure tells you how to lose weight safely.

Sensible Goals from Your Doctor
Your doctor or other health worker can help you set sensible goals based on a proper weight for your height, build and age.

Men and very active women may need up to 2,500 calories daily. Other women and inactive men need only about 2,000 calories daily. A safe plan is to eat 300 to 500 fewer calories a day to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.

30 Minutes of Exercise
Do at least 30 minutes of exercise, like brisk walking, most days of the week.

The idea is to use up more calories than you eat. You need to use up the day’s calories and some of the calories stored in your body fat.

Eat Less Fat and Sugar
This will help you cut calories. Fried foods and fatty desserts can quickly use up a day’s calories. And these foods may not provide the other nutrients you need.

Make sure your other foods that day are low in fat and calories.

Eat a Wide Variety Of Foods
Variety in the diet helps you get all the vitamins and other nutrients you need.
Watch Out for Promises of Quick And Easy Weight Loss
Fad diets aren’t good because they often call for too much or too little of one type of food. As a result, you may not get important nutrients you need daily.

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t true.

What About Diet Pills? Diet pills you buy without a prescription won't make a big difference in how much you lose each week or how long you keep the weight off. If you do use them, read the label carefully. Because of possible side effects, like high blood pressure, never take more than the listed dose.

Also, be careful about taking cough or cold medicines with diet pills you buy without a prescription. These medicines may contain the same drug used in diet pills, or a similar drug with the same effects. If you take both products together, you may get too much of the same type of drug. This can hurt you.

Before taking a cough or cold medicine while using diet pills, ask your pharmacist if it's OK.

Prescription diet pills may help some people. If you use them, follow the doctor's directions carefully.
