Question by Maria: Does anyone know of any good weightloss programs, diets or pill?
I know this is the wrong catergory but Im in need of some sort of advice. Im a mom of 2 young kids and im about 100 lbs overweight. I have no reason to be this big. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good weightloss programs, diets or pills. I saw an ad for the HCG drops and i was also wondering if anyone knew if the HCG drops were any good or if they even work.

no
Go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week and eat right. Don’t try these pills/fad diets.
BQ: kiwi
Just exercise and eat healthier.
Don’t start taking those pills that “magically” make you skinny. I’m pretty sure that’s not good for you.
All I did to drop about that much was not really change the food so much as walk a lot more. I’m still steadily dropping at least one pound per week, if not more sometimes. You don’t want it to be fast or you’ll just lose water weight and gain it all back. Walk up hills, down them, curved paths, be creative. I speed walk most of mine, but pace it slower at times. You have to do it every day for at least forty-five minutes, (sometimes I don’t and the loss is slower!) and some days for at least 3 hours total. Don’t do the same routes every day, and bring lots of drinks and maybe some kind of snacks like crackers or apples so you have no reason to quit.
Really tough to watch your weight with the young ones around. We have a tendency to toss down all that perfectly good food they waste.
A good healthy diet high in fiber, lean meats, eggs, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, antioxidant foods, healthy beverages and low in added sugar and salt help people lose weight, gain weight, lower cholesterol, increase energy, improve brain function, lower blood pressure, reduce risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and have a more positive lifestyle!
You need to eat a lot more food and a lot more fiber!
Diets that exclude foods from any food group are fad diets and do not lead to permanent weight loss or solve any other health issues.
First, try to kick your fiber intake to 40 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Whatever you do, get your fiber from your food, not from a jar.
Fruits and vegetables have good fiber in them.
Try a breakfast cereal with at least 20% of recommended daily allowance of fiber in it. They are usually low in sugar so there is a double benefit. Blueberries or raspberries on top add more fiber and antioxidants. But fresh or frozen, not the kind in syrup.
Raw nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Avocados are the best.
Lots of beans, peas, and grains are high fiber. Whole grain breads. Fiber kicks up the metabolism so you actually burn more calories. These foods will give you more gas in the beginning but if eaten daily, the bacteria in the digestive tract will elevate lowering the gas output.
This will get you on the path for a healthy daily bowel movement. This helps clean the system and aids healthy digestion.
I know it goes against everything you’ve heard but eating lots of the right foods will actually help you lose weight!
Next, take a basic daily multivitamin. Don’t look at your multivitamin as nutrition but more as an insurance policy. Think of it as filling in the gaps in your daily diet as opposed to a primary source of nutrients. If you are a woman, you may want a plus iron formula.
Last, you HAVE to drink lots of water to be healthy. But you can disguise it. Fill your glass all the way full with ice before pouring low sugar beverages. Try iced green tea with a splash of orange juice in it for sweet. More antioxidants. Add lemon juice to water for flavor. Slice up a cucumber and float it in pitcher of water. Gives it salty fresh taste. But you must drink up to 100 oz of water daily to help your body get rid of waste and the toxins it contains.
You must combine a healthy diet with exercise to multiply the benefit. Whether an hour a day in the weight room or just a 30 minute brisk walk every day, the added benefit of a regular exercise program really do increase and accelerate healthy weight loss.
You will get motivated when the changes start happening, I promise.
Good luck.
