Alternative Weight Loss Method With Great Success Rate

If you're looking for an alternative weight loss method that brings actual results, then read this article carefully because it contains some important information...

Imagine for a moment that it's three months from now. You wake up just like every other day. When you look into the mirror, you notice something is different. It's been going on for some time now but only now you suddenly really notice it for the first time...

At first you're a bit skeptical but soon enough a rush of joy spreads throughout your body. You turn left and right, you stretch somewhat to see yourself from behind...

And now those wonderful, warm feelings really begin to settle in.

You have lost weight! And very noticeably so...

You can't believe it. You've tried everything under the sun and nothing brought on such great results...

Nothing until now...

You begin to jump up and down from joy and congratulate yourself for giving this alternative weight loss method a try.

And not only are you looking slimmer, you also feel great and have an incredible amount of energy.

As you're experiencing all of this still three months from now, you can look back at this precise moment and think to yourself: "Giving this method a try was one of the best decisions of my life!"

These are precisely the kind of stories we hear day after day.

Now it can also be YOUR story and since you're reading this article, I can assume you're looking for something that will help you lose weight in a healthy and almost effortless manner. You're looking for something that has proven to work through centuries and that doesn't involve any dangerous substances or activities.

Here I'll very briefly present to you a 3000 year old technique that has proven to work again and again. It takes very little time and effort and you can practice it anywhere and anytime.

The effects of this alternative weight loss method have been well documented and many celebrities have used it as an aid to help them effectively lose weight.

And this secret method is called...

Acupressure

Acupressure is a relatively simple but incredibly effective Ancient Chinese technique that literally gives you control over your autonomic nervous system (this is the system that is normally out of reach of conscious control. It's the system that controls your breathing and heart rate, your temperature, blood pressure, secretion of hormones and, among some other things,YOUR APPETITE).

There are over 365 points on your body that, when stimulated, will have an effect on the activity of other parts of the body. Depending on the combination of acupressure points you stimulate, you can achieve different reactions of your body.
For example, stimulating a specific combination of acupressure points will significantly reduce your appetite.

Stimulation of another combination of acupressure points will strengthen your will and give you the power to easily resist unwanted habits.

Yet another combination of acupressure points will turn your metabolism to burn more fat and to absorb less caloric substances from the food that you eat.

Knowing exactly which combinations of acupressure points to stimulate, you can have an incredible advantage when you set to lose weight because you can now easily literally program your body to work with you and not against you, the latter of which is what usually happens when one starts a weight loss diet.

The stimulation of acupressure points is very simple. Unlike with acupuncture, where they use fine needles to puncture the skin on the site of the acupoints, with acupressure you simply apply pressure with your fingers or blunt objects on the site of these points.

Such stimulation then leads to specific reactions from the nervous and endocrine system and we get the desired effects.

The modern medical explanations of the workings of acupressure are still very dim but acupressure has been proven to bring results and the medical community is now on it's way of finding scientific explanations.

Ancient Chinese, on the other hand, have devised an extremely complex system for explaining how acupressure works. In their belief, a special kind of energy (Chi) flows through our bodies. It flows on specific channels, called Meridians.

The energy not only flows through the body, but also makes loops up to a few feet around the body.

Sometimes the flow of this energy gets disrupted and after some time it also shows on our physical body in a form of pain or illness.

By stimulating specific combinations of acupressure points, we restore the normal flow of this energy and give the body the chance to heal itself.

This, on the first glance, simplistic view of the functioning of our bodies and nature in general, actually has roots in thousands of years of experimenting, observation and meditation and is, when studied thoroughly, combined in an incredibly complex system of theories contained within the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM for short).

An interesting point is that modern medicine and science in general is coming to similar conclusions than those made by Ancient Chinese Philosophers, only science names these natural occurrences differently and in it's mechanistic view of the world sometimes disregards several important contributing parts of the puzzle as unimportant or non-existent.

The fact of the matter remains - acupressure works and it can very effectively be used as an alternative weight loss method by anyone willing to take a few minutes a day for their health.

Meal Replacements - The Most Successful Weight Loss Method

The multi billion dollar weight loss industry uses the most sophisticated advertising and marketing techniques to convince you on a psychological level that their product and method is the only way you can lose weight.

I brought you some common sense and sanity by laying out a weight loss program comparison. This series of articles discusses a number of legitimate weight loss methods that yield results. This article will touch on a method that has produced more consistent and lasting weight loss success around the world.

Meal Replacement Method

Beyond the appetite suppressant/stimulant method and a kissing cousin of the re-education technique is the meal replacement method. You now see a steady stream of sports stars and celebrities sharing how they have lost thirty, forty, fifty or more pounds with these programs and how easy it was.

These programs generally consist of a pre-packaged meal program. Open it, heat it up, eat it. They are simple and easy to use. You don't have to concern yourself with the balance of carbs, proteins, fats and calories because it's all on the label.

If there is a downside it is that they may require refrigeration and they are manufactured with the same preservatives as any other processed frozen food and are not completely care-free. If you are not near a microwave or oven you basically have a three-course popsicle in the case of frozen meals or a vacuum packed meal at room temperature for others.

Realizing the complexity and inconvenience of meal preparation, even the re-education programs like Weight Watchers, have a line of prepared meals. Remember that these types of prepared meals bring with them all the issues associated with packaged/processed foods.

Also in the meal replacement category are nutrition shakes. Often mis-identified as "protein shakes", these are shakes that are complete nutrition in a balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat along with fiber and trace nutrients.

The challenge with nutrition is getting everything you need without exceeding a certain calorie count. You can pack a lot of very high quality nutrition into a very small package with balanced nutrition meal replacement shakes.

Meal replacement is an effective method of weight loss and many tens of millions of people around the world have found successful and lasting weight loss with both pre-packaged meals and meal replacement shakes.

The keys to effective and lasting weight loss are complete nutrition and a gradual change in habits through education and coaching. Health, permanent weight loss really is not the place for the "do it yourselfer" because most people they are too close to the problem to really understand what needs to change. Some people have long-standing cultural habits that do not serve them (Like me. I am from Southern Ohio and we fried everything, including our vegetables. When I grew up gravy was a daily condiment).

When you pull a product off the shelf and your local big-box or even a health food chain, you are self coaching. You get one-size-fits-all instructions and then you are on your own. Some people have a reaction when they make a major change in their diet, or they reach a normal plateau and give up. Without someone to coach them through this they mistakenly think the product they chose is the problem.

This series of articles have been written to help you make a choice about weight loss products and methods that will support your goals.

Eating Disorders II - Bulimia

understanding bulimia

Bulimia is a condition in which a person having it consumes extremely high quantities of food. This is done compulsively, almost as quickly as finishing which, the person throws out everything of what is eaten. This regurgitation is done both out of fear of having eaten food in excess of what is needed, and out of guilt at having done it. 
Bulimia is often characterized as the opposite of anorexia, the other extreme condition in which people deny themselves the food they need for sustenance because they want to remain slim. Rather than consider them as opposites, it will be appropriate to consider them as counterparts. While an anorexic is easily identifiable outwardly by the slender figure; a bulimic is less distinguishable, at least by the figure, because she generally has a normal one.

Some can be both bulimics and anorexics
Incidentally, many bulimics, because of the fact that they throw out whatever excessive food they eat, are anorexics, too when they do not splurge. In other words; bulimics are people who generally eat less, but go on a binge at certain times in spurts, depending on their mood. They are more like alcoholics in that they lose control over themselves at certain times. Bulimics resort to excessive eating, only to induce themselves into vomiting everything later.

Other means of throwing out food
Bulimics can choose other means of eliminating the excess food they have consumed. They can push themselves to the wall by exercising far in excess of what the body needs or can withstand. Bulimics also take a high dose of laxatives to clear the body of the entire excessive intake

Reasons
There are many reasons for which people become bulimics. Bulimia is a result of social, psychological, genetic and other factors. A few anorexics consider possession of the figure that is seen as ideal by society as a means of victory from their disturbed upbringing. With bulimics, the psychological reason is related to the above, with the variation that they consider eating as a means of breaking free from social strictures. They see this as some kind of rebellion to the established social custom. The identification of the cause can be a major step towards treating the condition.

Treatment
Again, as with anorexia; bulimia too needs to be identified early. However, unlike this other condition, bulimia shows up a few outward signs, which need to be watched out for. These include injuries in the inside of the mouth caused by constant prodding of the fingers to vomit, ulcers, enlarged neck, low blood pressure caused by very less food in the body and dehydration. These need to be looked out for in such people. Here too, as in the case of anorexia; complete cure is possible, although it may take time.

8 Tips for Choosing a Fibromyalgia Health Coach

Choosing the right health coach for you is a decision you don't want to make lightly. Just like different business coaches and athletic coaches have different philosophies and styles, so do health and wellness coaches.

Here's some guidelines to help you make the best choice possible for you and your situation:

1. Find a coach who is a fibromyalgia expert.

If you've been diagnosed with a chronic illness, such as fibromyalgia, and you want to learn how to live well with that illness or discover treatment options available to you, only a health coach who understands that illness can help you effectively.

Not all health coaches focus on helping the same kind of people. If you have fibromyalgia, you don't want to work with a coach who primarily trains healthy athletes. That's a great recipe for ending up in a fibro flare!

This means you'll want to choose a fibromyalgia health coach. Helping women with fibromyalgia should be their key focus, not a service that they've tacked on as a subset of what they offer everyone else.

2. Opt for a coach who understands your struggles.

Now that you know you want a fibromyalgia health coach, you need to find one who has already gone through what you are trying to overcome. Many of us became coaches because we worked with a coach ourselves, found success, and wanted to "pay it forward" and help others find the same success.

This means that if you want to lose weight, find a fibromyalgia health coach who has lost weight themselves. If you want to walk a 5k with fibromyalgia, find someone who has walked a 5k with fibromyalgia. If you want to find healing from fibromyalgia, find a coach who used to be sick who is now living the kind of life you want to live!

By choosing a fibromyalgia health coach who has "been there, done that", you'll have someone who truly understands the struggles you face, can give you practical advice, and who won't blindly accept your excuses. (grin)

3. Make sure your health coach is up-to-date on the latest research.

There is so much conflicting information out there when it comes to nutrition, fitness, health, and fibromyalgia -- plus, it's changing continually. Even scientists can't agree when it comes to some things!

You want to choose a fibromyalgia health coach who loves research, reading, learning, and growing. If she doesn't, it's really easy to get behind and end up giving YOU bad information.

You want a coach who loves this stuff, can stay on top of the latest research -- and will share it with you and your doctors.

4. Decide what type of coaching personality you need for your journey.

As health coaches, we all have different personalities -- and as a client, so do you!

Some health coaches are like drill sergeants, where others are encouraging cheerleaders. Some focus on teaching you how to figure things out yourself, where others offer their own tried and true practical advice and solutions. Many of us are a combination of things.

In the past, I've hired two different types of personal trainers. The first one would say, "Come on! You can do one more!" The second one said, "Do you think you can do one more?"

I learned that for me the second type of coach is best. She made me want to try harder, to see if I could do just one more. The other one made me want to quit right then and say, "No! I can't!"

Decide which type of personality you need, then find that type of coach.

5. Look for a health coach with great troubleshooting skills.

It's one thing to work with your coach when everything is going well. It's a whole different thing when you feel like you've done everything right, but the results you want keep slipping through your fingers.

This is where troubleshooting becomes really important. A coach with great troubleshooting skills will be able to discover what is blocking you, your health, and your progress. She can then help you get past those blocks so you can start living the life you want to live.

When I ran the support department of a local software company, I always told my staff to, "look for the question behind the question." This helps me today with coaching. Often the question you ask isn't the question in your heart. There's usually a "question behind the question."

6. Choose how much time -- and energy -- you have to work on your health.

Do you want a coach who can teach you how to grow, cook, and make everything from scratch?

Or do you want a coach who will give you simple, practical ideas to make adding healthy habits into your life easier?

I find with my clients that if it takes too much energy, or is too complicated, it just won't happen. We fibro babes have limited energy to begin with, am I right?

So it all depends on what you need and want. Take a little time as you're thinking about your search to decide how much time you have to work on changing your habits and your health -- then find a coach who will provide you what you need for the time and energy you have.

7. Ask for a free consultation to check for individualized coaching.

Fibromyalgia health coaching should be a one-on-one, individualized service. With something that varies as much as fibromyalgia symptoms do, a coach must tailor their coaching to meet the specific needs of each individual client.

A free consultation is a great way to find out if the coach you're thinking about working with can offer you an individualized program. If you leave your consultation feeling like you received "cookie cutter" answers or a pre-printed solution, then keep looking!

8. Get a guarantee and get it in writing.

Just like any reputable business, a good fibromyalgia health coach should be willing to offer you a guarantee in writing. It's a reflection of their integrity and the confidence they have in their skills in being able to help you.

Since coaching is a two-way street, you should also expect to sign a contract or agreement when you enter into a professional coaching relationship. This contract should outline what you can expect from your coach and what she expects from you. The contract should also outline what needs to happen in order for you to take advantage of your guarantee.

Action Steps

Make sure you do your research, then schedule a complimentary consultation with a couple of different coaches to see which one fits you and your needs the best. With a good guarantee, you won't have anything to lose by giving health coaching a try!

How To Manage Hypertension Properly

High blood compression is a health condition that everyone can relate to because almost everyone knows someone who has the condition. If our blood pressure is constantly up, the implication is that our heart is working extra hard to pump blood to the different parts of the body.

Permanent Weight Loss Solutions - Could These Be the Most Reliable Methods?

You might be bombarded with diet programs, weight loss pills, herbal supplements and gadgets just to lose a few pounds. So you've tried the basics and still fail to see results. Research might have uncovered better and permanent weight loss solutions that you can stick to for good.

a.) Diet Plan: Emerging diet plans might help in attaining permanent weight loss solutions. Turn your diet plan into this: high carbohydrate and protein breakfast and low carbohydrates and low calorie for the rest of your meals. Also known as the "big breakfast", this diet plan showed significant results of weight loss in the long run. Results showed that it's healthier and easier to maintain than low-calorie diet. The 'big breakfast' diet allows you to eat more fruits, thus increasing your fiber and nutrient intake.

b.) Increase water consumption: If you're fond of reaching for a can of soda after a meal, think again. Sodas contain nine teaspoons of sugar in every can. Sweetened drinks might not satisfy hydration that your body needs. So the more sodas you drink, the more you deprive you're dehydrating your body. The next time you reach for a soda, take water instead. It's natural, contains zero calories and healthy!

c.) Fiber and good cholesterol: If you want permanent weight loss solutions, don't overlook fiber and good cholesterol. Fiber-rich foods like broccoli, apple, tangerine and whole grains should be a part in your daily food consumption. Fiber improves colon cleansing and bowel movement. It also significantly reduces your risk for colon cancer and constipation and draws out 'bad cholesterol' your colon.

Good cholesterol or HDL found in fish oil, avocados and nuts are excellent choices under this food group. These are essential in flushing the 'bad cholesterol' out of your system, particularly surrounding the blood vessels. However, research showed that excess consumption of HDL-rich foods could lead to similar effects of consuming LDL-rich (bad cholesterol) foods. Always take everything in moderation to get the benefits.

d.) Exercise at least 30 minutes a day: It's essential that you keep exercising if you want to lose weight. Although it's highly suggested that you workout everyday, taking simple exercises at work have cumulative effects. Find time to stretch your muscles, walk to the next room to send documents, have lunch in a nearby café or just take a stroll outside for some fresh air. It's better to do something about it than none at all!

e.) Stress management: Stress is a part of life, making stress management a must in your permanent weight loss solutions. Stress causes your body to release cortisol (a hormone) that triggers fat to settle along your thighs, arms and belly. Most studies indicated that fat settling around the tummy put you at higher risk for heart disease and heart attack. Yoga is a trending meditative exercise to date. This type of exercise incorporates stretching and breathing methods to maximize calorie burn and eases tension. An hour's worth of Yoga relaxes the mind and body, preparing you for a tough day ahead!

Permanent weight loss solutions won't entail you to make use of any diet pills or supplements. You should be receptive to the idea of changing your lifestyle and eating habits. It's highly suggested that you visit your doctor and nutritionist to help you get started with a diet plan suits your needs.

Apple Cider Vinegar Weight Loss - Does This Method Really Work?

The apple cider vinegar weight loss diet is considered a home remedy and despite what many write about it is not a rapid weight loss program but rather a gradual long term solution. So in reality is it the apple cider vinegar or is it just being more cognizant about your weight loss diet in general?

The thing is no one is really positive on how apple cider vinegar works in helping people lose weight but the claim is it does. The theory is it works as an appetite suppressant, increasing metabolism, reducing water retention and providing an overall feeling of healthiness.

Is The Apple Cider Vinegar Weight Loss Diet Worth It?

This is the real question people are curious about. The answer is don't expect it to be the next miracle weight loss plan. Losing weight is a simple concept and while there are dieting methods you can take advantage of there's no single thing as simple as this that will help you lose 20 pounds, 40 pounds and more. The best way to view the apple cider vinegar approach is as a tool but nothing more.

How To Prepare Apple Cider Vinegar

This is actually an easy beverage to prepare. What you would do is mix one or two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before every meal. If you'd like to add some flavor some people add one or two teaspoons of raw honey. Try to used distilled water where possible. This mixture doesn't taste too bad. Just remember this isn't a magic potion and if you have the right expectations going into the diet then you won't be disappointed in the long run.

The Possible Negatives of Apple Cider Vinegar Diet

A thing to keep in mind is that this plan is mostly based on trial and individual claims. There's not much real hard evidence that suggests the claims of the proponents of the diet. In moderation this could be a safe drink for most individuals but there are a couple items to be aware of if you decide to use this approach.

• Apple cider vinegar is highly acidic and if you're constantly drinking it in large amounts this may irritate your throat.
• It may also interact with drugs or certain supplements you're taking possibly decreasing potassium levels.

Lastly, just remember there's no quick fix to weight loss and it takes a committed effort and the right education to shedding pounds in a healthy way. The more you include quality lean proteins, fruits, vegetables and physical activity in your life you'll be more than on your way to losing weight. If you keep things in perspective and don't expect an apple cider vinegar weight loss plan to do all your weight loss then you'll have a realistic view.

Benefits of Effective Weight Loss Methods

Obesity is a threat to healthy living and everyone is desperately and constantly striving to find effective weight loss methods to curb this menace. This has led to the development of fake supplements and diet programs. These methods promise quick results to consumers but they don't talk about the grave repercussions that follow their usage. Therefore extreme caution must be taken when seeking for the best solution which should give long-term well-being to consumers. This requires a balanced and healthy approach comprising three essential programs i.e. exercise, education and nutrition.

Regular exercise is very essential to weight management as it increases metabolism, strength and the aerobic capacity. Effective exercises should help in burning more calories while increasing lean body mass. Focus is emphasized on engaging in regular cardiovascular exercises and resistance training exercises. This upgrades the body's capability throughout the day and night. Other effective exercises which people tend to neglect include; walking and running. These help in burning down calories and in keeping the body in a good shape while burning down excess fat. Thus exercising is seen as the most effective way of managing weight or acquiring the desired weight loss. It goes hand in hand with drinking lots of water which protects the body from dehydration and maintains the body in good shape.

In order to live a healthy lifestyle, one must know that he/she must avoid obesity at all costs. Education allows one to follow instructions as prescribed by the experts. Education is a cornerstone of every effective weight loss method as it gives one the intellect to choose the best workable method. The guidelines indicate that one should not lose more than two pounds per week. This can only be adhered to by one who understands the essence of this logic. He/she must understand that this ensures that loose fat is lost and lean body mass is maintained.

Any program must encompass the element of nutrition. Healthy eating habits and nutritional balance are characteristic of effective methods. The best way to lose weight is by maintaining a well-balanced diet which has fewer calories, and with increased physical activity. Supplements help in accelerating weight loss when combined with the right nutrition and effective exercises. One should comprehend that popular diets normally jump-start a weight loss but to acquire a healthy state, one must make permanent changes in lifestyle and nutrition that will work for the long term.

There are other effective weight loss methods which can be used. These include finding a cheering section or social support. This encourages one to be focused on realizing his/her goal. It is also essential in improving mental strength. Individuals should experiment until they find a perfect plan that works for them and remain committed to it. Weight loss must be undertaken in slow manner to avoid wrecking the nervous system. This can make one sluggish and drained or even sick. One must remember to keep a track of short-term and long-term goals. This motivates and ensures that one focuses in his/her training programs.

Step-3

How can you lose weight without exercise? Well, in this step you need to join a gym. Start doing exercise regularly. You must go to the gym at least 3 days a week. The workouts that you need to choose must be intensive ones. The weight must be high, and you need to do exercise for 20 to 30 minutes. The idea is to burn calories that you take. The more calories you will burn in the gym, faster you will lose.

Step-4

This is the easiest step. To boost the fat burning process and metabolism, you need to use a weight loss supplement. I recommend using raspberry ketone supplement or African mango supplement. Raspberry ketone is much better than others. Read reviews on raspberry ketones before you buy any supplement or drug. See what people and experts are saying about the product. Once you have your supplement, take normal dose. If it says you need to use it two times a day, you must use it once because you are using alternate weight loss methods as well. In case of issues, consult your physician immediately.

This 4-step simple weight loss method has proved to be very beneficial for hundreds and thousands of people. It is your turn now.

Unhealthy Weight Loss Methods

Yes, dieting is hard, but that is no excuse to resort to unhealthy weight loss methods to lose unwanted weight. The three most unhealthy weight loss methods include starvation diets, anorexia and bulimia. Unfortunately these are most common among women, with the pressure to be thin everywhere we turn around.

Starvation diets are just that, not eating enough for your body to sustain the proper energy levels. Maybe you are skipping breakfast, maybe breakfast and lunch. Whatever your starvation trick, you keep telling your body, when it is grumbling down to the bottom of your feet, that it is really not hungry. Eventually you get used to skipping all these meals and eating less at the ones you do eat that your metabolism becomes decreased. However, once you push yourself to eat more or indulge a little more than normal, your body reacts violently, and before you know it, you have gained back the weight you lost by starving yourself (and perhaps even more).

Anorexia is a more severe starvation diet and a much more unhealthy weight loss method. The side effects of anorexia can range from thinning hair or loss of hair in clumps to even death. You are literally starving your body of any nutrients it needs in order to live. A lot of younger people experiment with this fad and it can completely take over one's life if allowed. Many people go back and forth between recovery and relapse of this body altering addiction.

Bulimia is yet another unhealthy weight loss method that can seriously damage your body. Commonly known as binging and purging, bulimics typically gorge on large quantities of food and then evacuate or throw it up. The scariest thing about bulimia is that you may not even realize someone is suffering by looking at them. It is a control weight loss solution where your weight does not fluctuate much below a normal level. However, inside the body is incredibly unhealthy. Like anorexia, bulimia can be fatal, also effecting the heart, liver and kidneys, creating stomach ulcers, and dental and esophageal problems, to name a few.

Easy Weight Loss Methods That Work - 3 Powerful Tips To Lose Weight (Permanently)

Have you been looking for easy weight loss methods that not only work, but are also natural, safe, affordable, and will bring you permanent results? If you are, then I like to give you a virtual high-five! It's good to not only want to lose weight, but to also want to do so 100% naturally. Unnatural methods are dangerous, ineffective, and will end up causing yo-yo weight loss! So, with that being said, I have for you in this article 3 of the most powerful tips I followed that helped me shed pounds of fat incredibly fast...

1.) I got more sleep...

Getting more sleep is something that is certainly overlooked when it comes to getting in better shape... and I highly recommend you separate from those that do overlook this important tip. Getting more sleep is absolutely vital if you want to get in great shape and improve your overall health.

How vital?

Well, did you know that you can burn up to 500 calories during a full night's rest? It's true! Did you also know that if you don't get enough sleep, that you'll more likely be hungry throughout the day? It's true! Did you know that it is important to get enough sleep every night so that you can effectively build lean muscle? It's true! Did you know that if you don't get enough sleep, you're more prone to getting stressed out? It's true! I don't know about you, but I'm feeling like going to bed NOW (lol)!

2.) I stopped eating bad foods late at night...

Eating bad foods late at night will cause problems with your metabolism and digestive system. The reason why is because your metabolism and digestive system slows down during the time you are sleep... and once it does... it will not be able to process calories efficiently. Just imagine having a gigantic 500 calorie piece of cake loaded with carbs and fats... and then you go to bed... and then your body doesn't process these calories efficiently! Guess what's going to happen with those calories? They will get STORED... as extra body fat!

Of course you shouldn't be eating a 500 calorie piece of cake in the first place, but you get the idea (lol)!

If you want to eat something late at night, then I recommend something such as veggie sticks. You could even have celery sticks with peanut butter which will be perfectly fine... and even more satisfying (and this is because it contains water, fiber, and protein all in one low-calorie and very healthy snack)!

3.) This is not necessary, but it can certainly help, and what I'm talking about is taking supplements...

There are some supplements I took that will help with many things (and one of those things is losing pounds of fat).

The supplements I take on a daily basis (during my weight loss transformation and also currently) are whey protein shakes (I highly recommend Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein), fish oil supplements, chromium, green tea extract, vitamin D-3, and a multivitamin.

Speaking of supplements, please, whatever you do, DO NOT take diet pills. I know they are tempting, but not only are they ineffective at actually causing you to lose pounds of fat, they will also cause a plethora of health risks (including death in a number of cases). Not to mention... they are WAY overpriced!

And if you want to EASILY Melt Away Fat FAST and permanently lose 9 pounds every 11 days, then I highly recommend the "calorie shifting diet" from Fat Loss 4 Idiots...

I lost an amazing 52 lbs. of fat in 2 months (plus flattened my belly) using this popular online fat loss program... and it all has stayed off FOR GOOD! It works extraordinarily well and easily because it naturally raises your metabolism by having you eat REAL FOOD!

Extreme Weight Loss Methods And Their Consequences

Weight loss is the process of reducing body fat that is simple in principle, but complex in practice. Extreme weight loss is the practice of losing weight rapidly, but the methods can be dangerous. Unless rapid weight reduction is for medical reasons and is supervised by a nutrition or medical professional, extreme methods are something that should not be attempted for long term effects. However, if a few pounds need to be lost for a special occasion and it is not a long term deal, there are a few extreme methods out there.

The first method is the crash diet. A crash diet is limiting calories to below normal and safe levels. Some people literally starve themselves eating only a few calories a day while others just may eat fruits and vegetables for several weeks. An all liquid diet is a favorite of crash dieters. By limiting caloric intake, the crash dieter forces their body to burn fat for energy. The problem with that is the body needs food to burn fat, and in a short while, there will be nothing left to create energy. Extreme methods, such as a crash diet will cause the dieters to become fatigued easily and often and instead of just losing weight, the crash dieter will begin destroying their body.

Bariatric surgery is another in a line of extreme weight loss methods. It is for the person who has tried a variety of diets and other methods to lose weight without success. Candidates for such extreme weight loss methods are usually medically classified as obese whose weight inhibits the quality of their life. The surgery involves closing off a small portion of the stomach to reduce its effective size. With a smaller stomach, the candidate will feel fuller with less food and along with exercise will lose weight. Bariatric surgery is seen as a last resort and should only be explored after all other options have been exhausted.

One other extreme weight loss methods are using diet pills. Diet pills have been used as a means to lose weight for as many years as people have tried to lose weight. There are different types of diet pills that function differently and have different effects on the body. Some pills function by minimizing the amount of fat the body absorbs from the food. Other pills suppress appetite which helps portion control and reduces the number of calories consumed.

Diet pills come with side effects such as gastronomical problems. Other diet pills can lead to high blood pressure and elevated heart rate, leading to cardiac arrest and heart attack. People who use diet pills as an extreme weight loss method and already suffer from high blood pressure could further complicate their health with an irregular heartbeat and heart disease.
