The Silliest Weight Loss Products

By James Wilson


There are a wide variety of fat reduction solutions out there these days. Some of the products really are supposed to help people lose weight. There are lots of other products, however, that appear to be thought up for no other purpose than making a bunch of money off of people who are feeling desperate. Some products are so crazy that we thought we would spotlight them here in this article so that you know not to fall for the promises they make.

Have you by now seen the weight reduction ring? This is a small piece of silver that coils all around your index finger a few times. The band should preferably put pressure on the pressure points regarded as linked to weight loss. Science has verified that your system does have a few legitimate pressure points. Seabands, to make use of one example, are made to stimulate specific pressure points to help you control motion sickness. But the thought that a small ring may help you lose weight (actively, as a reminder it probably works just fine) is just absurd.

Have you noticed the neck line slimmer yet? Through the use of vibration, it is a product that, supposedly, helps you firm up the muscles in your neck so that you won't have any more unsightly loose or hanging skin. Any competent physician will tell you that if you have excess skin hanging from your chin or off of your neck, that skin has already been stretched out and, even if your neck muscles become strong, they wont suck that skin back up into them. If you are concerned with your neck, speak with your doctor.



Have you seen the Belly Burner Weight Loss Belt? This is a heated belt that is meant to allow you to literally melt the pounds away by doing nothing else beyond wearing the belt. From what we can tell the belt is made to heat your core which is designed to make the fat fall through... what? We aren't able to actually figure that element out. It's true that sweating burns calories but there is absolutely no way to make sure that those calories will only be burned away from the part of your body covered by the belt. Talking to your doctor will be adequate to confirm that this product is not meant to do anything at all besides get your hard earned money.

The actual truth is the fact that there are all sorts of people who only want to get their hands on your money. They know that you happen to be sensitive and insecure about your body and that you need nothing more than to lose some weight so they prey on those emotions. Lots of people would like to lose weight but they don't like the prospect of doing the work that they need to do to get them there. If the process were easy, a lot more people would be able to do it. Losing excess fat, often, is very hard. No accessory, piece of clothing is going to make it happen for you.

Keeping Track Of What Exactly You Take In: How To Do It Correctly

By Brad Collier


When you first start your diet one of several things you will learn right away is that maintaining a food journal is very helpful. Tracking all of the food you eat will help you figure out which foods you will be eating as well as which foods you are not eating enough of. For example, after you keep a food journal for a few days you may notice that even if you eat lots of fruit, you almost never eat any vegetables. When you write everything down you can see which parts of your diet must change as well as have a simpler time figuring out what kind and how long of a workout you need to do to shrink your waist line and burn the most calories.

But what happens if you write almost everything down but no pounds drop off of you? There is a right way and a completely wrong way to monitor your food. A food record isn't just a list of what exactly you've eaten during the day. Other sorts of important information will certainly need to be written down also. Here are some of the things you need to do to be more productive at food tracking.

Be as distinct as you can get while you note down the things you eat. It is just not sufficient to list "salad" in your food log. Write down all the ingredients in the salad and the type of dressing you used. You must also record how much of the foods you are eating. "Cereal" defintely won't be sufficient although "one cup Fiber One cereal" is okay. It is important to keep in mind that the bigger your portions, the more calories you will be eating so you need to know just how much of every thing you actually eat so that you can figure out how many calories you will need to work off.

Write down precisely what time it is when you eat. This helps you figure out when you feel the most hungry, when you are susceptible to snack and what you can do about it. You'll observe, for example, that although you eat lunch at the very same time every day, you also--without fail--start to snack as little as an hour later, every day. You should also be able to observe whether or not you happen to be eating due to the fact you're bored. This is critical because, once they are identified, you can find other ways to fill those moments than with unhealthy foods.



Record your mood when you eat. This really helps to demonstrate whether or not you decide on food as a reaction to emotional issues. It will even identify the foodstuffs you decide on when you are in certain moods. Many people will reach for junk foods whenever we are disappointed, angry or depressed and will be more likely to choose healthier options when we are happy or content. When you focus on how you eat in the course of your different moods and mental states, you will be able to keep similar but healthier choices around for when you need those snacks--you might also start talking to someone who can help you figure out why you try to cure your moods with food.
