Weight Loss Programs

Weight Loss Programs

Weight loss programs online are gaining popularity because they are convenient, offer 24/7 weight loss support and they don't cost an arm and a leg to join! Sadly, even with such programs available, Phentermine users and obesity sufferers are still yo-yo dieting and gaining more weight.

According to a study done by PhenForum.com, 90% of people using Phentermine lose a large amount of weight by starving themselves. When they stop taking the pill, they eat badly again and gain the weight back, only to search for another pill. Phentermine has a huge following in the US, and doctors practically never improve patients' diets, so it is clear that someone needs to help Phentermine users learn proper eating and exercise habits, or else they will gain the weight back. Phentermine just helps make the transition easier.

Because of its effectiveness, Phentermine is the most popular diet pill in America. However, most people are still struggling to lose weight even with this miracle-like diet pill. Chances are nobody ever told them that Phentermine is a tool that makes it painless to turn bad habits into good habits.

The problem here is that people are uneducated about nutrition and exercise. For example, most think that doing sit-ups will get rid of a large flabby stomach, or step-ups will melt away big thighs. This will never be true because the human body cannot target weight loss to specific areas, so the fastest path to being slim is to eat right and do plenty of cardio exercises such as running, jogging, or rowing.

So what weight loss programs work if you're using Phentermine? You'll need a lively support group with weight loss journals for instant motivation; online personal training to get fit and burn fat, nutrition guidance, and a diet plan to follow such as South Beach, Mediterranean, Body for Life, Okinawa or another healthy, non restrictive diet.

Think about what would happen when hundreds of thousands of obesity sufferers who use Phentermine to take away their cravings for extra food, are given the motivation and knowledge they need to take that opportunity to form healthy diet and exercise habits. The result would be a healthier, slimmer America.

Phentermine Weight Loss Program - How To Lose Weigh The Healthy Way On Phentermine

Phentermine Weight Loss Program - How To Lose Weigh The Healthy Way On Phentermine

How To Eat Right With Phentermine
Here's a summary of five great tips you can use, and you're not alone in this... remember if you need anything, come join us at PhenForum.com for support.
1. Because Phentermine takes away your hunger and cravings, you can decrease your calorie intake by eating more plant foods and lean meats; and eating meals in smaller proportions.
2. Make a grocery list and pick out healthy ingredients for your own meals, especially if your family doesn't eat healthily.
3. Eat crisp, fresh and colorful vegetables; and lean proteins like fish and sliced turkey, trying to balance each meal out so you have say...
a. 30% unsaturated fat
b. 30% protein
c. 40% carbohydrates
4. Limit how much you eat (but DO NOT come close to starving yourself). Think of your body as a machine that only runs correctly if you put the right balance and quantity of nutrients in it.
When we take Phentermine, it can be hard to eat more than a piece of toast and a meal shake in one day. Because Phentermine stops you from feeling hungry at all, you have no desire to eat, and sometimes foods can even seem gross. Do not view this as a good thing, though. To lose weight permanently, you'll have to fight to eat!
Now your priority will be to make sure you eat often enough to keep your body healthy and keep your metabolism high. If you don't eat enough, you will sabotage your weight loss because as soon as you stop taking Phentermine and begin to eat more food again, you'll gain a bunch of weight back because your body is in starvation mode. In starvation mode, your metabolism is very low, and your body will automatically store most of your calories as fat.
So remember, the more meals, the higher the metabolism. Try not to let your body go hungry. You should eat around 4-5 times a day - not large meals but medium sized meals and a couple of snacks. Three square meals are just too much of a rollercoaster ride for the body. Carbohydrates are most important to eat in the morning and need you'll need to eat less and less carbs up to bedtime.
Also, don't worry about eating before bed. Your body needs a certain number of calories which can be computed online and if your body has not met that number for the day, then you are still fine.
What's a good meal?
You should be eating anything from a turkey sandwich on whole grain with an apple and walnuts to a grilled chicken salad with different kinds of lettuce or vegetables in the mix. Meals like that are great ways to teach your body to love proper nutrition.
So every 3-4 hours you'll be eating a good, lean source of protein with some complex carbohydrates.

Make Time For A Weight Loss Program

Make Time For A Weight Loss Program

Question: How do I make time for a weight loss program when my life is so busy?
Answer: We can make time for anything that is a priority. If you are late for work and are running around the house trying to find your keys and really, really, really need to use the washroom you are going to make time to do it.
Basically if you want time to devote to your weight loss program then you are going to have to make that time. There will always be things that will want to slide in and gobble up your time. TV is probably the worst; people with no respect for your time are probably second. I frequently hear my clients say that they were planning to get on the treadmill at home or were heading to the gym but their spouse came home late. Or their spouse needed to have super on the table.
There are times in your life where you are going to have to come first. Sometimes that requires getting up early before everyone else and sometimes it requires that you put your foot down and say that from 5-6PM every second day is YOU time. No exceptions.
If you are scared to say this sort of thing or couldn’t imagine being so selfish, then I can hear the smacking jaws of emotional issues eating at you on the insides. Let me ask you a question to show you how important it is to make time for yourself and your weight loss program. Here it goes; “When are you most likely to happily share your last bit of chocolate cake with someone?” The answer? WHEN YOU ARE FULL.
When you are full and happy inside is when you have the most to offer other people. In fact sometimes making time for yourself is the best way to make sure you can give the most to the people around you. If you are still hungry, even sharing the smallest bit will fill you with resent towards the person that wants what you have.
So how do you make time for a weight loss program when your life is so busy? You take it. You take care of yourself, and organize your priorities so that you will have more to give in the long run. This is what we mean when we say that your health is your greatest investment and that you shouldn’t spend half your life chasing wealth and then the second half spending your wealth to regain your health.

How to Choose An Acceptable Weight Loss Program

How to Choose An Acceptable Weight Loss Program

When you make the decision to lose weight, you inevitably then have to go and choose a diet that not only will do the trick but also be a diet and exercise package that will be acceptable and stimulating. If you start off with a poor diet and exercise program, you'll most likely drop it and that just makes your weight loss program a big waste of time. Here's some food for thought...
Following a weight loss program is the most simple and efficient solution to getting rid of your extra pounds (or at least most of them). You can find these programs all around you: books that guide you, on-line weight loss programs, TV shows, etc. You can choose which one to follow depending on your personal eating habits and on the money you are willing to spend for such a program.
Many of us have a sedentary lifestyle, we go to work by car and then sit at a desk for eight hours or more, and we are always tempted by tasty and cheap but unhealthy food, rich in fats and carbohydrates. The result can be measured in the extra pounds we “gain” and it can vary from just a few extra pounds to obesity, depending on our metabolism & activities. As obesity became one of the major problems of the civilized world, an entire industry has developed on the basis of people’s need to lose weight. There are all kinds of products available on the market, such as different weight loss pills, fitness devices, electrical stimulation devices, etc. The problem is the majority of these products are not that efficient as their commercials are suggesting and some may indeed be seriously harmful to your health. It is much better to find a suitable weight loss program and follow it step by step.
The most essential part of the weight loss program is the diet plan, but for a more attractive commercial presentation the producers also come up with different “secrets” books, tools, analyzers, motivation tips, weight loss tricks, etc. There are also programs that include weight loss support; there are support groups such as Overeaters Anonymous or Fat Acceptance.
Here are some examples of weight loss programs:
Low Fat DietThe low fat weight loss program recommends a diet based on low fat or no fat foods. Reducing fat intake and regular exercise results in long-lasting weight loss. This program can be very effective if produced and supervised by an expert. Many low fat programs found on the market reduce fat consumption too much and it can become harmful for your health. A very high consumption of carbs is also not good, which is often recommended by some programs. However, this diet is one of the best ways to lose weight, but it is important they are described in the correct manner.
High Protein DietThis weight loss program is based on the consumption of high protein and low carb foods. Although it leads to reasonably rapid weight loss, it is often NOT an effective diet in the long run. It encourages the consumption of saturated fats and this increases the risk of heart diseases. It can also cause damage to your kidneys, as in the absence of enough carbs, for the rapid burning of fatty acids the kidneys have to work overtime.
Fixed MenuThis type of weight loss program indicates you apply a fixed menu diet. You get a list of what you have to eat everyday. It is easy to follow because you don’t need to keep the calorie count. Its efficiency and healthiness can vary greatly.
Points ProgramThis weight loss program is created by Weight Watchers, a company offering different dieting products and services for weight loss. The points system consists in quantifying the caloric intake and the energy expenditure. Foods are assigned a specific number of points and exercises are assigned a negative number of points. Based on their current weight and weight loss goals, program participants are allocated a certain number of points every week. Therefore, participants are allowed to eat any type of food, but they must not exceed their total point value that week. This is an easy to follow program, mainly because of the psychological effect is has on the participant.
Food OptimizingThis weight loss program is created by Slimming World, a British company which runs weight loss classes across the UK. During classes members are weighed and the loss or gain is shared with the others; they also share experiences, tips, ask for advice, etc.
The diet is a calorie-restricted one. The foods known as “free foods”, are considered to have a low calorie content may be eaten in unrestricted amounts. They recommend eating four small portions per day of foods that provide supplies of minerals, vitamins or dietary fiber, even if these foods are higher in calories. Days are classified in red days and green days. There are red days “free foods” and green days “free foods”, and all other foods are assigned a syn value.
Although most of us know the do’s and don’ts in order to lose weight, it becomes much easier if we are using a precise weight loss program, this way we get more determined.
The most important thing is not to expect short term extraordinary results. Even if there are weight loss programs that guarantee this, you may cause serious injury to your health and you will only enjoy short-time results normally. A good diet should always include all of the Recommended Daily Allowances for vitamins, minerals and proteins. Also, the weight loss program must offer you solutions for maintenance after the weight loss phase is over; and this is much more difficult than the weight loss itself. It is important to know that only healthy the eating habits and exercise are the primary keys to long term weight control.

Weight Loss Program

Weight Loss Program

What is the most effective weight loss program? Are you finding it difficult to stay motivated? Are your diet and exercise programs not working for you? Are you struggling to lose weight? It’s essential to have a plan for proper nutrition and regular exercise, but there’s a one more thing you need to lose weight fast and maintain your ideal body weight. That thing is to win the “mental game” of weight control. Even if you don’t know, your thoughts influence your eating habits, your cravings, and your attitude toward exercise.
For example one of the most efficient weight loss programs is audio program that control your weight through special sounds and help you to achieve rapid and permanent weight loss. Deeply engrained, subconscious thoughts and beliefs – also known as “self-talk” – are what determine your eating and exercise habits. If these thoughts are negative, they can result in a negative, overweight self-image and self-destructive behavior.
What Does a Weight-Loss Program the “Most Effective”?
• That program must be safe. Does not matter if you create your own program or use a commercial one, all you have to do is to be sure it’s safe. A safe diet should include all of the recommended daily allowances for vitamins, minerals and protein. A weight-loss diet should not be low in essential vitamins or minerals, only in calories.
• With an efficient program you will have a slow steady weight-loss, and for this you should not worry about your weight. Because when you get ride of the fat it won’t come back. Expect to lose only about a pound a week after the first week or two. With many calorie-restricted diets, there is an initial rapid weight loss during the first 1 to 2 weeks, but this loss is largely fluid. The initial rapid loss of fluid also is regained rapidly when you return to a normal-calorie diet. Thus, a reasonable goal of weight loss should be expected. The program should be directed toward slow, steady weight loss unless your doctor feels your health condition would benefit from more rapid weight loss.
So, knowing all of this, and with that example (the audio program), you are ready to make a definition of the most effective weight loss program. This obsession with finding the one that is the official "best" is doing nothing good for you in anyway. There is no such thing as the best weight loss program. There is no such thing as the best diet. There is no such thing as the best workout. There is simply what works and what does not.
And if it works all you have to do is maintain the weight you achieved after that program. That program will always contain plans for weight maintenance. It is of little benefit to lose a large amount of weight only to regain it.
The program you select should help you improve your dietary habits, increase your physical activity, and help you change other lifestyle habits that may have contributed to your weight gain in the past. Weight maintenance is the most difficult part of controlling weight and is not consistently implemented in weight-loss programs.
Being overweight is too often viewed as a temporary problem that can be treated for a few months with a strenuous diet. Any effective weight loss program is based on the actual way the human body loses weight without any trick. Fancy marketing makes other programs appear as though it is the most effective weight loss program available. If followed correctly it is impossible for it to not work. An effective program is not based on a gimmick as I said. It's simply what works, and that is all you really need.
I am a nutritionist woman who used to be fat. After testing tens of so-called "wonder diets" I've decided to create a Weight Loss Programs Review Website, containing a top of the 3 best programs with a brief description about their features and benefits.
