Obesity is a growing epidemic in the United States. With people more sedentary than ever, and food that tastes better than ever, it is no wonder that Americans are gain weight faster than some thought possible.

Many people don’t realize that supplements like hoodia diet pills can help with this problem. (more…)

Weight loss with green juice and water is not a fad diet. If you are looking for quick weight loss look elsewhere. If you are looking for a healthy and gradual weight loss consider green juice and water. Green tea is also beneficial for dieting, but, we are talking about green juice. There is a difference.

I have seen formulation recommending green fruits as well. All of the above mentioned green juice formulations are beneficial to your health. I am talking about green tea from green vegetables.

Society often paints the picture of the happy, jolly overweight person but is thisa true picture? Evidence is emerging that people who are obese suffer from depression more often than their thinner counterparts.

A study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry showed that obese people suffer from anxiety and depression 25% more than those of normal weight, although, interestingly enough, they were also 25% less likely to abuse drugs or alcohol than those of lesser weight. (more…)

Most of us are worried about how to loose those extra pounds. If you’re like me, you’ve tried numerous methods, from only eating one type of food, to not eating any food at all. But Instead of getting slim, you only get frustrated and hungry before falling back into your old eating habits. I haven’t found a magical diet that instantly makes cellulite disappear, but here are a few tips that have actually helped me loose weight. I’m confident they will help you as well.
1. Clean Out Your Cupboards- Recovering alcoholics wouldn’t keep a six pack of beer in their refrigerator, so if you’re addicted to high calorie foods, why keep them around to tempt you? Changing your eating habits and loosing weight requires a complete lifestyle change. If you’re serious about loosing weight, you need to trash the Twinkie’s. Remove any foods that you have a tendency to binge on, especially high fat, high calorie foods. You can’t always eliminate your cravings, but without all those foods lingering around they will be easier to control.

2. Find Low Calorie Substitutes- After you raid your kitchen and remove all the fatty food products, you’re cupboards may seem a little empty. Not to worry, now you need to replace all those foods with healthy substitutes. Buy low calorie snacks. Sugar free Jell-O is great, or you can try mixing yogurt with cool whip and use it as a fruit dip. Experiment with different foods; just remember to check the labels and to watch portion sizes. Low fat doesn’t always mean low calorie. The best foods are ones you can enjoy without feeling guilty. Loosing weight isn’t about starving yourself, it’s about learning to adopt healthy eating habits.

3. Create an Exercise Routine You Enjoy- You don’t need to run a marathon, jut remember, the more active you are, the faster your metabolism, and the more calories you burn. Find an exercise program that fits your needs and that is enjoyable for you. If you dread exercising, try a different type of exercise. If you don’t like the gym, work out at home. Try different things until you find something you like. It may seem like a chore at first, but if you make it a habit, it will get easier, and eventually you will see the results.

4. Set Realistic Goals – If you weigh two hundred and twenty pounds today, and want to weigh one hundred and eighty pounds by next month, more than likely you’re going to be disappointed. While it is very important to set goals, don’t set goals you can’t achieve; they leave you feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. Focus on one day at a time, and if you break down every once in a while and binge on a box of Crispy Crèmes, don’t beat yourself up about it and quit, just do better the next day.

In this short message I will reveal the primary differences between dieting & cleansing — and determine which will get you to your weight loss goal more quickly and which is better for your health.

This is how most diets go for the average American — let’s call him Joe…
Plan A: cut calories and increase activity. Ok, that sounds simple enough. After about a week or two, Joe will decide the one or two pound weight loss per week is not worth the hunger pangs, sweets cravings and grueling excursions at the gym. (more…)
