Hoodia Dosage - Can I Take Too Much Hoodia Gordonii?
By - Rachael Wellwood
<)))
It is established that Hoodia Gordonii is a safe, natural weight-loss component. The P57 compound found in Hoodia works as an appetite suppressant with no known side effects. But what is the correct dose? Hoodia pills come in various doses, sizes and forms. Just because a diet pill claims to have Hoodia does not guarantee you will get the right stuff. The amount of Hoodia in the product does matter. 100% Hoodia products are known to offer doses ranging from 400 to over 750mg.
How Much Hoodia Do I Need?
First of all, you must know that Hoodia is not a cheap product to produce. Thriving under extreme heat and taking up to five years to mature, the Hoodia Gordonii cactus is in no hurry to reproduce. That being said, it is awfully tempting for a manufacturer to skimp on the Hoodia offered in their pill. Or a manufacturer may neglect to put the actual amount of Hoodia on the label for the consumer to see. Do purchase a product that states clearly the amount of Hoodia in it. Also, a trusted company will include the acronym C.I.T.E.S. on the label. This shows their certified lab tests performed with Hoodia.
That being said, a recommended dosage of 500 mg/day is said to be sufficient for weight loss. Body size, health and weight may require you to take a bit or less, but 500 mg is the base dose. Start with the 500 mg and if after a few weeks you notice no change in appetite, up your dose a bit. A does of 750 mg/day of Hoodia is not unheard of.
Who Decided on 500 mg?
Statistically, this is the dose that most people notice results. It may be tempting to buy the more potent, and more expensive, 750 Hoodia, but often times this is unnecessary. If 500 mg works for you, there is no need to up your does. Taking more than needed will not make you lose even more weight. Your body does need good nourishment for fuel and the whole point of losing weight is to take care of your body. Listen to what your body tells you. How do you feel after taking Hoodia? Do you notice a change? And as always, consult your doctor to determine an overall weight management program.

19 Easy Weight Loss Steps
By - Mike Brill
<)))
1. Set a goal
The first step you should take is to set a weight-loss goal and make a deadline to reach that goal. Within that goal create several easy to reach steps that will act as milestones along the way to your final weight-loss goal.
2. Enlist the help of a friend or family member.
This is one of the methods used in many weight-loss programs. By sharing your successes and your failures with someone who is working with you towards a similar goal you are more likely to stay on track to achieve your weight-loss objective.
3. Cut out the soda.
This step is easy if you are fond of soft drinks. Research has shown that soft drinks do not kick in the bodies response to the additional calories that you consume when drinking them. If you drink two sodas a day you are consuming an additional 300+ calories per day.
4. Get some exercise.
It does not have to be all out at the gym but increase your level of activity. Also include some weight training since building muscle mass will increase your metabolism thereby making it easier to lose weight.
5. Cut back on simple sugars and refined flour.
Go for complex carbohydrates and whole grains instead. These take longer to digest and give you a more satisfied feeling for a longer period of time.
6. Grill broil or boil.
Avoid fried and breaded meats and potatoes. This is helps by reducing simple carbohydrates and added fats.
7. Stay away from processed foods.
When shopping for food at the grocery store avoid the center aisles. The reasoning behind this is that most prepared foods lurk in the center aisles of most grocery stores. By purchasing fresh vegetables and meats and breads normally found on the periphery of the store you can avoid the processed foods which have much higher fat, carbohydrate and sodium levels.
8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen, dinner like a pauper
Make sure you get a good breakfast. By eating most of your calories early in the day your body has an opportunity to burn them off throughout the day. Also avoid eating late night snacks.
9. Drink plenty of water.
This will help you feel full sooner. It also helps in the metabolization of fat in your body.
10. Cancel your membership to the clean plate club.
Don't be compelled to finish everything on your plate despite what your mother told you! Listen to your body it will tell you when you have had enough.
11. Eat smaller meals more frequently.
Divide your meals up into more and smaller meals throughout the day. Eating five or six smaller meals will lessen the time between meals and you will be less likely to snack.
12. Don't deny yourself everything you really enjoy.
Make sure you have a treat now and then. This can be a great tool to help you stay on track by allowing yourself a little wiggle room in your plan.
13. Measure the amount of food you eat.
Most people have no idea of how much food they actually eat in a day. By sticking to serving sizes you can easily track how much you are eating.
14. Snack healthy.
Make sure you have a healthy snacks available for when you get a craving. Having cut of vegetables handy makes it easier to keep the edge off.
15. Don't be a couch potato.
Instead of just sitting there watching TV do some curls, leg lifts, sit ups etc. you can still enjoy your TV shows while burning a few more calories than a typical couch potato.
16. Keep a journal of what you eat and your exercise routine.
It's hard to know where you're going if you don't know where you have been. By keeping a journal of what you're eating and how much exercise you're getting you can keep yourself honest with yourself and your partner that is helping you meet your goal of weight-loss.
17. Don't jump on the bandwagon for the latest diet craze. By denying yourself major food groups you will more than likely experience frustration. It is better to enjoy everything in moderation.
18. Don't use the big plates! Research is shown that people who eat off bigger plates can eat as much as 30% more than a person who eats up a small plate with smaller portions. This also help you listen to what your mother told you.
19. Create powerful affirmations.
We are all constantly talking to ourselves. If you can change the conversation in your head you will find that it becomes easier to achieve goals. By reorienting the way we talk to ourselves we can make it much simpler to accomplish many of the hardest things that challenge us on a daily basis.

Natural Weight Loss Tips
By - Carl DiNello
<)))
We are all probably aware that food-obsessive behavior is common. Because of this a natural weight loss diet can be difficult to maintain. However, it offers a better chance for success than any other diet option.
Men and women who are binge eaters, as well as those who fantasize about, and often almost live for food can be almost as addicted to food as someone who is addicted to alcohol, or narcotics. They desperately need a metabolic approach to their problem.
Life Without Control
When they are children, most people start off eating the so-called balanced diet, but by the time they reach adulthood, their diet has become progressively less balanced.
They begin to notice an expanding waistline, they take a look at their eating habits, and they finally realize they have a problem. They may even notice that their choice of food has gone off in a specific direction.
The majority will find that carbohydrates now form the bulk of what they eat. Breads, cakes, and candies, pasta, and popcorn; the list goes on and on. Surprising and illogical food cravings are typical, as carbohydrate addiction is very real. A safe, natural weight loss program is calling them, but they don't hear it.
Have you ever had a complete dinner including a big dessert, and almost immediately afterward find that you want something else that is sweet? This extra carbohydrate craving is a sure sign, as is fatigue, that your carbohydrate metabolism is probably out of whack. After eating the carbohydrate food that you were craving, your feeling of satisfaction is only a brief one.
Many carbohydrate addicts find that they can't walk past the refrigerator without opening it. Most people don't recognize that they have a problem, with many feeling that their compulsions are harmless.
It is important that they understand their food compulsion is not a character disorder. It is a chemical disorder called hyperinsulinism, as well as an eating behavioral disorder.
If you really want to succeed with a natural weight loss program, the first thing you have to do is to get rid of that compulsive behavior. You can get off to a great start by avoiding harmful carbohydrates such as those in refined sugar.
Sugar itself, has no nutritional value, and can be directly harmful to your overall health. Despite the sugar companies determined attempts to defend it, hundred of studies clearly show how potentially deadly its effects can be.
Sugar activates certain metabolic processes that are harmful to your overall health as well as your waistline. It is a metabolic poison.
You can lose weight naturally simply by starting to count your calorie intake. Discuss a safe diet based on a reasonable daily calorie intake with your doctor. Your doctor is best suited to advise you on just what is safe specifically for you, and your efforts with natural weight loss. You must improve on the quality of your diet, not the quantity.
Next, incorporate a healthy lifestyle into this program of weight loss by engaging in regular daily exercise. Regular exercise will provide you with a great many more health benefits than just assisting with your weight loss program. The best thing about exercise, when used to help natural weight loss, is that it continuously boosts your body's "metabolic rate" so as to promote the continuous burning of calories.
Continue with your efforts by replacing a few foods in your meal plan. Gradually changing these foods will make it a lot easier to conform to a natural weight loss plan. For example, if you like pork, cut off the fat and eat only the lean meat. Don't fry it, broil it, and it will still be delicious.
Simply by changing your eating habits, avoiding the foods that make you gain weight, and incorporating a regular exercise program into your life will allow you to effectively lose weight with a natural weight loss program.

The Risks of 3-Day Dieting Revealed
By - Jenn Richards
<)))
Dieting is very fashionable these days and has been so for a number of years. But what happens when somebody tries those very popular quick fix diets? Do they lose weight? Are they healthier than before? Is dieting a sustainable way of life?
Your body needs vitamins - nutrients found in most foods - for many reasons, including the production of red blood cells. If your body lacks certain key vitamins, you can develop a type of anemia - a condition in which your blood is low on red blood cells - called vitamin deficiency anemia.
Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to all parts of your body. Without enough healthy red blood cells, your body can't get the oxygen it needs to feel in top shape. To produce red blood cells, your body needs iron and certain vitamins along with adequate protein and calorie intake, that’s where dieting comes in. By restricting access to food, and especially to certain types of food, dieting can put your overall health at risk.
Vitamin deficiency anemia can also lead to other health problems. Fortunately, you can usually correct vitamin deficiency anemia with supplements and dietary changes. This is one of the most important things you have to keep in mind: the body has to be nourished with all the vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and sugars it needs to be able to function correctly. Any diet that does not account for the minimum healthy food intake is probably dangerous for your body.
About the 3 Day Diet, there is not really much to tell except the old adage "Don't try this at home!"
Version one of the 3 Day Diet promotes drinking four glasses of water or diet soda during the day. An extensive menu lists meals and snacks to eat for all three days so you can achieve the maximum diet results. It actually lets you eat food all three days, including fruits, vegetables and carbohydrates.
But there are two problems with this version of the diet:
- Too few calories per day - around 500, which is way too little for an active person
- Not enough vitamins and minerals, which means you will have to try the bottled stuff - is there any health benefit to a diet that doesn't help you achieve a healthier life?
Version two of the 3 Day Diet begins with a day of fasting. Fasting = no food, only water. Day two you can eat fruit and drink fruit juice only. On day three, you can only eat vegetables and drink vegetable juice. This version of the 3 Day Diet claims you can lose ten pounds in three days if the three-day menu is strictly followed. The rest of the week is spent eating lightly, but "normally." After seven days are up, start the routine again!
Will you lose weight with this diet? Sure you will! Who wouldn't when subjected to near starvation?? Would it be for good? Probably not, as the body will try hard to rebuild the fat reserves after you exit the starvation mode.
Keep in mind that:
1. "Yo-yo" dieting (repetitive cycles of gaining, losing, & regaining weight) has been shown to have negative health effects, including increased risk of heart disease, long-lasting negative impacts on metabolism, etc.
2. Dieting forces your body into starvation mode. It responds by slowing down many of its normal functions to conserve energy. This means your natural metabolism actually slows down and you lose less weight than you would if you'd just walk for an extra half hour a day.

Diet Recipe - Grilled Caribbean Chicken
YIELDS: 4 Servings
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon grated ginger root
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
4 chicken breasts halves (3-ounce each), boneless and skinless*
DIRECTIONS: In a large shallow bowl or a resealable plastic bag, combine orange juice, orange zest, lime juice, olive oil, ginger, garlic, hot pepper sauce, and oregano; add chicken. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator 3 hours or overnight.
When ready to cook, remove chicken from marinade. Sprinkle chicken with coarse salt and pepper. Place chicken on prepared grill and proceed as follows:
For Barbecue with Charcoal: When coals are ready, spread them around the edge of the firebox (24" round) and keep a squirt bottle near the fire to put out flames. Turn the chicken often and don't let it burn. Breasts take about 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165°F (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife). Do not close the lid on the barbecue.
For Gas Barbecue (since you cannot maintain a hot fire without closing lid): Place prepared chicken onto hot grill. Cover barbecue with lid, open any vents, and cook approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife); turning several times during barbecuing.
