Considering that the top New Year’s resolution for 2012 is to lose weight, it is no surprise that men and women across the globe are rushing to the Internet to research the most popular weight loss methods. Continual diet and exercise is no longer the only option to slim down – both diet pills and hCG claim to offer fast, long-term weight loss. In an effort to help consumers find the best alternative for them, HCGBlog.com has compared diet pills and the hCG diet along with their respective negative and positive aspects.

(PRWEB) January 03, 2012

As outlined by a recent survey conducted by search engine Bing, “Losing weight is the top New Year’s resolution for both men and women (35 and 47 percent, respectively).” And with an increasingly obese population, this is no surprise. Additionally, avoiding unhealthy temptations appears to be more difficult than ever – fast food restaurants reside around every corner and desserts have become commonplace at most family dinners and social gatherings.

The claims of fast and safe weight loss by a variety of diet pill and hCG brands seem to be just what many consumers are looking for. But with so many options to pick from, it is often difficult for people to decide which choice is best for them. HCGBlog.com has paralleled these two alternatives in order to clarify the good and bad characteristics of both weight loss methods.

Diet pills have been around since the 1930s and are available in a variety of categorizations – metabolism boosters, fat burners, appetite suppressants and carb-blockers are some of the most popular varieties. Unfortunately, while many diet pills do work, others are filled with stimulants and chemicals and generate an array of harmful and unpleasant side-effects. Websites like HonestDietPills.com have recently emerged in order to distinguish the most effective diet pill options from the abundance of scams.

HCG has recently become a media sensation as more and more consumers report losing 1-2 pounds a day with hCG drops or injections and the hCG diet. Unlike diet pills, hCG requires users to follow a strict weight loss protocol that restricts the amount of food and beverages consumed. The popularity of hCG has brought about many counterfeit “hCG drops” online. These products are ineffective and even potentially dangerous.

Diet pills are best suited for those hoping to lose weight but are intimidated by a strict eating regimen. HCG, on the other hand, is for individuals who are committed to losing weight fast but prefer not to exercise. The best diet pills are all-natural and made with research-driven ingredients. The most effective hCG contains no added ingredients and is accompanied by Dr. Simeons’ 500 calorie weight loss diet.

*Be sure to avoid any weight loss vendors that do not back up their products with a guarantee.

Editor’s Notes: hCGBlog.com was founded to help provide answers and support for both those on the hCG diet and others who are simply interested in learning about weight loss with hCG.

Cakes, cookies and holiday treats can be difficult to resist when wanting to let loose during the holiday season. Dr. Rina Shinn of Adonis Aesthetics shared a few tips to help keep the extra pounds off and your weight maintained.
PUEBLO –
A gallon of water a day
“None of the fast trick diets are going to help you, so the key is drinking water,” Shinn said. “Water has to be there in order to dissolve the fat, so no water, no fat lost. It’s as simple as that.”

Dr. Shinn suggested, for those who aren’t habitual water drinkers, keep palettes of  water bottles in easy-to-reach places like your bedside table, passenger seat of the car (not the trunk or you’ll forget them!) and in your office. But, she said not to drink during meals.

“Don’t drink with the meal because it’ll dilute your digestive enzymes and impede digestion. Drink all the water, about a gallon a day in between meals, before and after, but not during the meals.”

Eat small meals often
“When you get up in the morning, it’s so tempting to just get out the house because you’re busy and you don’t have the chance to eat breakfast,” Shinn said. “But you have to eat a small breakfast. That’s the key. Sometimes having a little oatmeal with hot water or milk; that’s good enough.”

Eating as often as six small meals a day can help keep the weight off, as long as you’re eating healthy foods. Chewing slowly will help you realize when you’re full.

Supplement “regular” feast foods with alternatives
Dr. Shinn suggested trying foods like mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes, fresh cranberries with orange and lemon instead of the sugary, canned variety and edamame as a party food instead of shrimp. She said to keep fruits like Gala apples and Cuties in your bag and at your desk to avoid snacking, and not to eat tropical fruits like bananas and pineapples because of the high calories. Also, even supposedly healthy foods like whole grain bread aren’t always healthy.

“If the second ingredient is sugar, you’re actually eating more sugar than anything else. Stick with the artisan bread in the bakery section. Read where the sugar falls in there,” Shinn said. “If you eat it and it’s sweet, it has too much sugar in it.”

The lollipop diet
Dr. Shinn said if you’re still hungry, consider trying Power Pops. They’re lollipops with vitamins and supplements like Hoodia, B6 and B12 in them, geared to suppress appetites.

“Obviously we don’t suggest people have more than three per day and this is just to help you with the curving of the appetite. Not to be a meal substitue and not to eat all the time, so it’s fairly natural and much better alternative than taking the diet pills or speed medications,” Shinn said. “But, if you take three per day with plenty of water, 30 minutes before eating meals, it’ll curb your appetite so when you’re eating small amounts of the food, you don’t feel hungry.”

Shinn sells the lollipops for $1.50 a piece at her clinic, Adonis Aesthetics.

The average American will gain about a pound during the holidays, and soon it will be time for New Year’s resolutions to shed the pounds. Two-thirds of Americans are already overweight or obese, and the turkey and candies aren’t helping.

Who’s to blame for the obesity epidemic in America? Of course there’s no single answer. There are many things that contribute to Americans’ ever-expanding waistlines. All of them come down to nature and nurture, genetics and environment.

On the environment side, most people today get less exercise than they did decades ago. The labor force, which used to be dominated by physical activity such as farming and manufacturing, is now largely sedentary, chained to computers at desks. Less exercise means fewer calories spent each day and week, translating into excess weight over months and years.

NEWS: Benefits of Exercise Add Up Through Life

That wouldn’t be a problem if people were eating less, but in fact people are eating more than ever. For example, a 2004 Centers for Disease Control report found that American women eat over 300 more calories each day than they did in 1971. The idea that Americans are obsessed with weight loss is a myth: fewer than one-third of Americans get regular exercise, and fewer than one-quarter are dieting at any given time.

The ‘Fat Gene’

On the genetics side, there’s an element of inherited predisposition toward (or increased risk factor for) obesity. Researchers have identified a “fat mass and obesity associated” (or FTO) gene that increases the likelihood that a given person with that gene will be obese by about 23 percent.

News about this so-called “fat gene” has given some overweight or obese individuals the idea that the dice are loaded and there’s little point in even trying to lose weight; dieting is difficult enough without our heredity fighting against us.

However, before you throw up your arms and blame your genes for your growing girth, there’s good news from a new study published in PLoS Medicine titled, “Physical Activity Attenuates the Influence of FTO Variants on Obesity Risk: A Meta-Analysis of 218,166 Adults and 19,268 Children.”

NEWS: Hungry Dad Has Husky Kids

The study found that the effect of the gene is very small, only about two pounds. So, for example, if you carry the FTO gene and you’re 20 pounds overweight, at best you can blame about two of them on your parents; the other 18 pounds (about 90 percent of your extra weight) are the result of your dieting and exercise habits (or lack thereof).

The study also found that “The association of the FTO variant with BMI and with the odds of obesity was reduced by approximately 30 percent in physically active compared to inactive adults.” In other words, getting exercise (defined in this study rather generously as at least one hour of moderate to vigorous activity per week) reduces the effect of the “fat gene” by about a third.

As the study notes, the research “demonstrates that a genetic susceptibility to obesity is modifiable by lifestyle (choices).” This means that, far from the “fat gene” dooming its carriers to a life of obesity impervious to weight loss, overweight individuals have an enormous amount of control over their weight. We can’t control our genes, but we can control what we eat, and how much exercise we get.

Do Diets Work?

The claim that “diets don’t work” is often touted by people trying to sell a book or seminar with the secrets on their special pills or technique to help you lose weight. (Or, in the case of fat-acceptance activists, the claim is used to justify giving up and instead accepting your obesity.)

The fact is that most people can lose weight on just about any sensible diet. Often the mere fact that a person begins paying attention to what they are eating is enough to reduce calorie consumption, since a lot of snacking behavior is subconscious — people are not aware of how much they eat, and how often.

Dieting is simply making healthy choices about the types and amounts of foods a person consumes. Dieting is not the same as a fad diet, nor is it the same as a starvation diet. Doctors and researchers have known for decades that the best way to lose weight and keep it off is through diet and exercise.

It is true that most people who go on a diet do not remain on that diet for the long term. Some stop because they don’t see results fast enough, but most simply give up. They lack the willpower and self-discipline to stick to the diet, and go back to their old eating habits. The diet did not fail; the dieter did.

The study’s authors hope that that their research will help fight “fat fatalism,” the idea that trying to lose weight is pointless: “Our findings … emphasize that exercise / physical activity is a particularly effective way of controlling body weight in individuals with a genetic predisposition towards obesity and thus contrast with the determinist view held by many that genetic influences are unmodifiable.”

LipoRidPM.com’s years of research seem to have paid off as it celebrates serving its 10,000th customer on Monday. LipoRidPM.com is the first company to offer a 2-in-1 sleep aid, fat burner – and the innovation seems to be a hit with customers. LipoRid PM™ is an all-natural alternative to addictive sleeping pills that promotes weight loss while helping users fall asleep fast and sleep through the night.

(PRWEB) December 12, 2011

LipoRidPM.com was launched in 2006 as it introduced the world’s first all-natural sleep aid, fat burner, LipoRid PM™, to the health supplement market. LipoRid PM™ is formulated with a blend of 14 scientifically proven ingredients that induce a full night’s rest while encouraging fat burning activity.

“I had to give up prescription sleeping pills because of horrible headaches that left me feeling almost wasted in the morning. After trying LipoRid PM™, I slept better than I ever did on the sleeping pills and experienced no headaches at all. Now I feel great every day and problems with fatigue and depression are distant memories. It’s such a relief to be able to use something you never have worry about!”

– V. Wood

The need for an all-natural yet highly effective alternative to prescription sleep aids became evident to LipoRidPM.com CEO Leon Jeffries after more and more news stories began reporting on the behavioral and physical side-effects of these chemical-filled products. It is evident that the body needs 6-8 hours of sleep per night, but the dangerous side-effects of prescription sleep aids are hardly worth the risk. Some reported side-effects of the popular prescription Ambien include diarrhea, daytime drowsiness, headache, nausea and weakness, not to mention sleep walking and hallucinations.

6-8 hours of sleep per night can:

• improve mood and memory,

• prevent heart disease and stroke,
• boost the immune system,
• leave the body feeling refreshed and alert in the morning,
• increase productivity,
• lower blood pressure,
• promote weight loss and more.

As an increasing number of Americans turn to sleep aid pills (according to the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 3 in 10 women say they take sleep pills at least 3 nights a week), it is important to recognize that prescription sleeping pills are not the only alternative. LipoRid PM™ does not trigger any unwanted side-effects but is equally as effective as prescription products and is non-habit forming.
