Not-so-drastic measures

The heat and humidity we've had lately has turned everyone into homebody couch potatoes. No one feels like leaving their air-conditioned house, let alone go for a walk or a bike ride. I am definitely looking forward to some cooler weather in the next couple of months. One great thing about Eureka is the long, long autumn season!

Anyway, the reason I mention exercise is that walking has become a habit and when I can't get out and walk my daily two miles, I really miss it and feel "blah" all day long. I'm still working on losing a bit of baby fat that is hanging on from my last pregnancy. I don't really have a problem with how my body looks, (I've accepted what I've got to work with), I just don't want to be uncomfortable in my clothes and have to buy new ones. While I only wish to get rid of about fifteen or twenty pounds, I know some women would like to reduce their weight by fifty pounds or more.

These women have considered gastric bypass surgery, but that just seems so definitive and drastic. Now there is another option called lapband, short for Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding. During the procedure, an adjustable band is wrapped around the upper part of the stomach and tightened much like a wrist watch to restrict both the size of the stomach to enhance the feeling of quicker fullness, and the stomach outlet so food travels slower through the system, retaining a full feeling longer.

Hooray for all-natural

If you are on nearly any kind of weight loss pill, you have to wonder if it is a heart attack or stroke waiting to happen. These days, you hear of so many law suits and product recalls it is disturbing. Our bodies don't need all these fake ingredients to lose weight. Now there is Dynathin, a natural solution for fat-burning.

Their website has lots of great information that you should read before you try any other unsafe diet! Your body already knows how to burn fat, it just needs a little natural reminder. Dynathin is guaranteed for a full year and has been clinically proven to be 99% effective in their claims.

And it's still hard to lose weight

Even though I have been walking all over the place, I still seem to be gaining weight. Maybe it's the usual "winter weight" that your body holds onto to stay warm, I'm not sure. You would think that I would be thinner since I walk 3 miles four or five times a week, pushing a stroller with a heavy toddler in it! I have been eating more sweets than usual, but overall I eat pretty healthy. It may be time to get some extra help...

I saw an advertisement in a magazine for a supplement called hoodia" and I wanted to learn more about it. I found a website about the Hoodia Diet Pill and it states that it is derived from Hoodia Gordonii cactus, which grows in South Africa. The natives have used this cactus as an appetite suppressant for generations. It is also supposed to enhance your mood. Sounds like a good PMS treatment for me!! That's when I'm the most moody and tend to pig out.

Anyway, they say that right when you take the hoodia pill, your mood improves instantly, then you feel like you've just eaten a satisfying meal. The potency is 10,000 times more than glucose at sending the message to your brain that your body is not hungry. In clinical trials, people ate as much as 40% less than they normally would.

Hmmmm, maybe this is worth a try. I am more likely to try products that are derived from nature, rather than totally processed and fake.
