Top Fat Burners - Top Fat Burners Review



Are you looking for the Top Fat Burners on the market but aren't sure which ones are safe or are the most effective? Well this is a review of the top fat burners which are available now on the market and a review also of their effectiveness and safety.
1. Clenbuterol:
Also known as the "Size Zero Pill", this was particularly popular in 2007 as celebrity's in Hollywood reveled just how many were using this fat burning pill. Originally designed as a pill to treat horses for asthma, this fat burner works by getting the heart racing thus increasing your fat burning capabilities whilst also suppressing your appetite for up to 9 hours. In terms of effectiveness, this fat fat burner was once considered to be the most top fat burner available, however due to its inherent risks and side effects such as a racing heart, jitters, panic attacks and unusual brain and sleep patterns, is now only available through prescription.
2. Ephedra (Ephedrine Alkaloid):
Also once a top fat burner, Ephedra has now been revealed to be extremely unsafe and is now banned in most countries. Again, designed to get the heart racing and get the ticker running and burning your fat intake quicker it is now known to cause heart palpitations. Athletes also use it as a performance enhancing drug.
3. Alli:
Alli is an FDA approved product which is available over the counter in the U.S and available on-line. This top fat burner is essentially a fat binder, or to be more specific, it works in the digestive track and reduces your enzymes ability to break down your fat intake therefore producing less fatty acids. Your remaining fat intake then passes through the intestine as waste product and is excreted. Probably the most popular fat burner in the U.S, it does come with some "treatment effects". If you do not adhere to a 15mg dietary fat intake for each meal then you will experience some bowel movement and loose tools. Therefore there are some dietary restrictions attached to this fat burner.
4. Procatol:
Also FDA approved, proactol is 100% natural and organic. Manufactured from the extracts of a cactus, this top fat burner works like a fat binder, binding up to 28% of your dietary intake. Unlike Alli however you do not have to limit your fat intake to avoid the "treatment effects", however if you want to follow the most effective diet, a low fat intake diet plus regular exercise will obviously supplement this top fat burner. Acting as a an appetite suppressant, Proactol is also prescribed in the U.K to help lower your cholesterol level.

Is the New "High-protein Low-saturated Fat" Diet the Answer to Weight Loss?



The heated debate, within diet circles, that began a few years ago and continues today is over the effectiveness of the high-protein, low-carbohydrate, type diet versus its counterpart, the high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet.
To the delight of the Atkins diet enthusiasts, recent studies have suggested that a diet high in protein and low in fat has a greater effect on diet induced thermogenesis (calorie burning) than a high carbohydrate low fat diet.
Before we go further we need to familiarize you with a few terms we will be discussing in this article. Your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is the total energy your body burns in a day. TDEE consists of 3 components: diet induced thermogenesis (DIT), basal metabolism, and physical activity.
DIT is the increase in the body's temperature that is caused by the digestion and absorption of a meal. This rise in temperature results in calorie burning. Yes, we actually burn calories simply by eating and scientists have long believed that DIT may be a factor, in reducing obesity; and that obese people may have defective DITs - although this hasn't been proven yet. Once scientists identify the link between DIT and obesity on a molecular level, it could essentially pave the way for the development of drugs in the treatment of obesity. That's still however, in the future.
In a recent study at the University of Arizona, published by the American College of Nutrition, a group of young healthy women were given 2 sets of diets. (1) One diet was high in protein and low in fat and the other was high in carbohydrate and low in fat. Scientists were trying to compare the thermic effect (DIT) of protein versus carbohydrate during the digestion and absorption of meals. Keep in mind, as the body's temperature increases (by DIT), so does the number of burned calories.
Evidence from this study showed that postprandial (following a meal) thermogenesis increased 100% more with the high-protein low-fat diet versus the high-carb low-fat diet. Although protein had a greater effect on DIT, the study did not evaluate weight loss or the long term effects of this type of diet. The results did suggest that this type of diet may have a positive effect on weight loss.
Scientists concluded that a diet high in protein, moderate in carbohydrate and low in fat contents may promote a higher rate of weight loss compared to the high carbohydrate, low fat diet. On the other hand, they also warn that high protein diets may affect kidney function in those that have kidney conditions, but not in healthy individuals.
Furthermore, they recommend daily protein intake should not exceed 2 grams per 1 kilogram of body weight. The American daily average is 1 gram per 1 kilogram. Further studies are required to assess the long term effects of high protein, low fat dieting.
It is important to keep in mind, however, that DIT or the thermic effect of a meal only represents 3-10% of total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). So we must keep things in perspective. Basal or resting metabolism accounts for up to 70% of TDEE and energy expenditure from exercise is responsible for the rest. Logic dictates, therefore that these two take precedence over DIT.
The other big influencing factor in weight loss is the reduction of daily food intake. Let's look at the input/output equation: x (Input) - y (Output) = z. Daily output and total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) are the same thing. If you ate fewer calories (x) than your body burned (y), z would have a negative value. If you consumed more calories than your body expended, z would be positive. A negative balance in the equation results in weight loss, a positive value causes weight gain. It's that simple.
In the above study, the high protein low fat type diet involves 2 factors of Input: Food composition and food quantity. In this diet, food composition (food selection) consists of a certain combination of macronutrients (high protein, low fat). Food intake (Input) affects the DIT which causes a certain increase (energy expenditure) on the Output part of the equation. And, as food composition varies so does the DIT. Food composition, though, can only have a limited effect on DIT. Remember DIT only represents 3-10% of the TDEE (Output). And food composition (high-protein, low-fat), accounts for a percentage of DIT, which represents even a smaller value. Food quantity, on the other hand, can have a tremendous effect on the equation - as it increases, the balance becomes more positive. If it surpasses TDEE then you gain weight - quite independently of DIT.
As a result, there can be a downside with respect to DIT involving the high-protein low-fat diet or any diet for that matter. With this diet, as protein intake increases so does the DIT. The problem is, however, that the food quantity (Input) also increases. The point here is that there is a limit to the amount of protein you can ingest before your body starts storing it as fat. Because DIT doesn't account for expending a lot of calories (3-10% of TDEE), and food composition (high-protein, low-fat) accounts for a percentage of DIT, there's only so much protein you can ingest before you start getting a surplus of calories. And excess dietary protein just as excess carbohydrate or fat is stored as fat in the body's adipose tissue. The only other factor that can compensate for the excess of protein intake is an increase in exercise participation. Although, that would defeat the purpose for obvious reasons.
Physical activity, however, can have a large effect on the Output part on TDEE (Output). Not only does it account for a much larger energy expenditure than DIT, countless of studies have shown that regular physical activity actually increases basal metabolism, which accounts for up to 70% of TDEE. As a result, regular exercise participation essentially has a compounding effect on the calorie burning process.
As we can see then, the bulk of weight loss and weight gain comes down to the quantity of calories ingested (Input) and calories burned (output). Furthermore, exercise and metabolism are responsible for approximately 90%-97% of TDEE. Energy expenditure from DIT is almost insignificant in comparison. DIT is just not effective enough to produce a negative caloric balance independently of total caloric intake, energy expenditure from exercise and basal metabolism - especially for most overweight individuals. And it would be unrealistic for overweight or obese people to rely exclusively on DIT to lose weight. These people are either overeating, aren't active enough or have low basal metabolic rates - or a combination of all three factors.
So, it still looks like there's no easy way out - you actually have to work, if you you're going to lose weight. The easiest way to achieve that is with the efficient use of all Input and Output components. That also means you must know your priorities. Most of your efforts should be spent in finding an adequate balance between a reduction of total daily caloric intake and a sufficient level of physical activity. And emphasis on DIT should take on a secondary role.
But wait, before you put on your running shoes and begin another diet plan, you might want to hear some very interesting news. There are certain cultures around the world whose diets contain just as much fat and carbohydrate (if not more) as in the American diet. Yet they are slimmer, and have much fewer occurrences of heart disease and cancer than their American counterparts.
Recent studies have shown that people in certain Mediterranean regions and in France manage to stay healthier and are less obese than those in other western countries. Let's look at the French first.
In a study by Adam Drewnowski of the University of Michigan, scientists examined the eating habits of 1,637 men and 1,576 women in America and compared them to those of 5,000 French adults. They studied their overall diets based on diversity (foods from 5 major food groups), variety (total number of foods consumed daily) and moderation (according to USDA dietary guidelines). (2)
The results were quite surprising. They found that the French ate more foods that were higher in fat, saturated fat and cholesterol than their American counterparts. The study also showed that the French diet complied with very few of the USDA dietary recommendations for eating healthy. In addition, the findings showed that 99% of French women's diets had saturated fat contents in excess of 10% of total daily calories. What's shocking is that, on average, the French are thinner and have fewer occurrences of heart disease than Americans.
The possible harmful effects of the high fat content in the French diet, however, were offset by diet diversity and variety. Drewnowski pointed out that "the low fat approach is very good but not if it comes at the expense of dietary variety."
The USDA recommends that diets should consist of a variety of foods. According to the American part of the study, just one in ten men and one in sixteen women consumed food from all five food groups (Meat, dairy products, fruits, vegetables and grains). The other thing is that the French have more active lifestyles than Americans do. Americans typically drive more, walk less and participate in more sedentary type of leisure activities.
Similarly, a Mediterranean diet study also showed that the diet was high in fat, more diverse and had greater variety than the American diet. According to research, certain Mediterranean people, particularly from the Greek island of Crete, had fewer cases of heart disease and were thinner than Americans.
The difference in this study, however, was a crucial finding that suggested food variety and diversity created a certain dietary ratio. This was a ratio between 2 types of fatty acids present in the Mediterranean diet. These fatty acids are found in plant sources and fall into 2 groups: The omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. You have probably heard of the multiple health benefits of these essential fatty acids many times before. They are called essential fatty acids (EFAs) because the body cannot produce them - they can only be obtained from food sources.
Although omega-6 fatty acids are essential to the diet, the omega-3 group has more significant therapeutic properties. Omega-3s contain powerful antioxidants that are known to fight against heart disease, lower blood pressure, strengthen the immune system, improve mood disorders to name a few.
The other benefit of omega-3s according to research is that they also have an amazing ability to control body fat. Omega-3s control the quantity of adipose (fat) tissue by regulating the amount of fat that goes into fat cells and the amount that is burned up for energy. (3, 4) Omega-3s have also been shown to increase fat oxidation in the body - the process by which fat is broken down and used as fuel for energy. (4) This further promotes a reduction in body weight that consists of fat mass.
According to scientists the key factor in diet composition is that the French diet and more so the Mediterranean diet consist of higher intakes of foods containing omega-3s than the American diet. In other words their diets contain a better (lower) omega-6 to omega-3 ratio than the American diet. And that's the key. One of the main reasons Americans have lower intakes of omega-3s is because of their high intake of processed food. Food processing is largely responsible for removing a lot of the omega-3 content from food.
On the other hand the French and Mediterranean diets are more abundant in whole foods, fresh fruits and vegetables. And so their intake of omega-3s is considerably higher. In addition, the people of Crete eat 10 times more fish (rich source of omega-3s) than Americans do. Other important sources of omega-3s in the Mediterranean diet were: fish, purslane (wild plant high in omega-3 content), walnuts, figs and various other unrefined carbohydrates. By the way, the most abundant source of omega-3s is found right here in North America, and that's flax seed oil.
As we can see, two different cultures manage to stay healthier and slimmer than North Americans while eating foods that contain high fat, carbohydrate and protein contents. The key differences are that their diets contain more unrefined foods; they consist of foods from all food groups and have more variety. As a result they have higher intakes of omega-3s (lower omega-6: omega-3 ratio) than other Western cultures. In addition, both these groups of people are more physically active than Americans.
Now, you can put on those sneakers and walk (or jog) to the supermarket for a new supply of fresh wholesome food.

2. Once you've decided on your objective you need to develop your plan of action, which diet is going to the best for you? Are you going to join your local fitness club or just rely on exercising in the privacy of your own home?
3. It is vital that you set a precise goal for your weight loss and fitness plan, perhaps a certain dress or pants size or to lose fourteen pounds of body weight or even achieving a certain waist measurement. Whatever your target is it is important that you make a commitment by writing it down and setting a date by which you intend to achieve your objective. Just a word of warning do be realistic, it's no good planning to lose fourteen pounds in seven days unless you want to end up in hospital!
4. At the start of your plan record your body measurements, i.e. weight, hips, waist, chest, and body fat index as well as any others that relevant to your individual goal, and then update them at least once per week. If you are really brave you might want to take some pictures, you don't have to show them to anybody but it'll be nice to have a before and after record as you work at your weight loss and fitness plan.

Diet Success - 5 Top Tips to Lose Weight Without Even Trying


In this article I'm going to show you how to diet successfully by giving you 5 top tips to lose weight by cutting calories. The bottom line is that there are two ways to lose weight - burn more calories or eat less of them. It sounds so simple, doesn't it? So why is it so difficult to lose weight? Well, with my top 5 easy to follow tips you'll soon be on track to lose weight forever.
1 Start the Day... You might think that breakfast is the easiest meal to cut down or even cut out altogether, but all the research indicates that people who eat breakfast do better when losing weight. A healthy breakfast will kick start your metabolism, so you start burning more calories. It will also maintain your blood sugar levels and keep your energy levels high - and it will stop you feeling hungry, so you should find it easier to avoid sugary snacks and eating too much later in the day, when you feel more tired and your will power can fall away.
2 Look for Low Cal Switching to a lower calorie version of the same food can make a huge difference over time. If you use half a pint of milk every day, switching from whole milk to semi-skimmed, will save you around 56 calories and 6.5g fat. Over a full year, this alone could save you 5lbs of body fat! There are endless options for lower calorie versions of food you eat all the time - yoghurt, margarine, biscuits, crisps, mayo and salad dressings, as well as ready meals. But do check labels carefully - many reduced fat products have extra sugar added for flavour and texture, so make sure the lower fat version isn't actually higher in calories or more unhealthy overall than the original.
3 Lean, not mean Avoid processed meats, such as bacon, sausages, pepperoni and salami as they are usually very high in saturated fat and therefore in calories. Choose the leanest cuts of meat that you can afford and whenever possible choose white meat such as poultry, as it will be lower in fat and calories - and always remove the skin, as that's where most of the fat is stored.
4 Keep an eye on portions It's so easy to ruin your diet by eating just a little too much (and lots of people put on weight in the first place by eating healthily, but too much...). So start by cutting down your portion sizes by about a third. A great tip is just to use a smaller plate. Try to eat more slowly too, so you begin to feel full sooner. It may take time to get used to eating a bit less, but you will - and you really don't need those extra calories. Remember that women need fewer calories than men, so don't apply equality rules to your portion sizes either. Obviously the number of calories you save depends on what you are eating, but over time cutting down just a bit can make all the difference to losing weight and then maintaining it.
5 What are you drinking? Don't forget that you drink calories as well as eat them! You'll be amazed how much drinks can add up, so keep an eye on them. On an average day you might have a glass of orange juice for breakfast (75 calories), a black coffee with sugar mid morning (20), a can of coke through the afternoon (130) and a couple of medium glasses of wine with dinner (250). That didn't seem much, did it? Yet the total is around 475 calories! A woman dieting will usually be having about 1200 calories a day - so that's over a third used up! So, watch the serving sizes with juice and milk and try to drink water instead as much as possible. Flavoured mineral water is a good option too. Sugary canned soft drinks are one of the best things you can give up for your health, but if you must have them, then choose diet versions with few calories (they will still be terrible for your teeth!). Give up or at least reduce sugar in your tea and coffee...and beware of the calories in alcohol.
Summary Getting your calorie balance right is the key to healthy weight loss and staying slim forever. Most people know what they need to do to lose weight - eat less and exercise more - but it can be hard in practice! Small tricks and tips can make all the difference, so just use these 5 top tips to lose weight and you'll be on track to reach your perfect weight. Just get started and you'll soon be heading for diet success!

Does Adios Work? Read the Truth!


Adios has been intriguing me for sometime so I thought I'd have a look into whether this is really worth a go.
So does Adios work?
Well straight off I had trouble finding honest reviews and blogs exclaiming the benefits of the product. Nor did I find anything particularly good on Yahoo Answers. Some say that it can help with will power and exercise however that to me sounds like a classic placebo!
Adios claims to help people wanting to lose weight only if combined with a low calorie diet and exercise. This therefore makes it impossible to say whether the product itself is playing any part in shifting the weight. Very clever!
So does the Adios work? I've listed the ingredients below, do you think this looks healthy?
Its regular formula contains Fucus Dry Extract, Boldo Dry Extract, Dandelion Root, Butternut, Lactose, Sucrose, Sodium Starch Glycollate, Talc, Pre-Gelatinsed (sic) Starch, Magnesium Stearate, Titanium Dioxide, Red Oxide, Yellow Iron Oxide. Its Max formula contains Fucus Dry Extract, Lactose Monohydrate, Sodium Starch Glycollate, Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihyrate, Talc, Magensium Stearate, Kaolin Light, and Acacia
So does the Adios work: Well in my opinion there's no evidence to say it does!
There is also a massive lack of real proven science behind the product.
Once again it seems that the manufacturers are pushing onto the slimming public a frenzied marketing campaign in order to sell what I believe is a very questionable product.
Does Adios work? In my opinion NO! OK we know that, but what's even worse are some of the possible side effects of some ingredients which have been known to worsen conditions associated with some liver and heart-related issues.
So will this product get you looking hot while walking down the aisle on your wedding day or while strutting down a sun drenched beach? Well of course I don't think so.
As you may know from previous articles I only promote and endorse healthy and safe weight loss products which work in the long term and I love to shed some light onto the scams too!
If you're looking to lose some weight and fairly quickly I would recommend either the Fat Loss for Idiots diet or Strip That Fat.
For me Strip That Fat is the better option which is why I'm a member of the program and a strong advocate. Internet dieting is the future of dieting!
If you would like to read my full insider review on Strip That Fat please CLICK HERE
So tell anyone who asks "does Adios work" that there is no real evidence that it does and all you will really be saying Adios to is you hard earned cash!

Fat Loss Diet Menu - Quick & Easy Fat Loss Tips


A fat loss diet menu that works best for weight loss incorporates the healthy foods you eat everyday, and can get at the grocery store. Many fat loss diet menu plans are based on tasteless, low fat, low carb and low calorie food that you may not like. What if you had a fat loss diet menu that was comprised of your favorite foods and you could eat them more often per day?
How A Fat Loss Diet Menu Should Be:
All the helpful weight loss steps, tips, tricks, secrets, guides and menus won't work if they are not something you like enough to stick with. The other thing about a fat loss diet menu that works is that it uses fat burning foods, calorie shifting, and tricks the metabolism into releasing more fat burning hormones than fat storing ones. Most people think that it is about consuming fewer calories than you burn, which is partially true.
In a fat loss diet menu, you don't have to cut out any particular food group-your body needs them all for proper nutrition. The other thing is that you can eat more meals per day and lose weight. This keeps the metabolism revved. The key is to eat smaller meals, but more often.
If you understand how the metabolism works, you will understand how you can take the foods you like and make a plan where you can lose over 10 pounds in a couple weeks. There is a very precise science that goes into calorie shifting. It was found that the human body can take two days to recognize a calorie shift. That is the syndrome that often happens on fad diets where you lose weight the first couple of days and then your weight plateaus.
The metabolism is gleaning every drop of fat or sugar to put into fat stores and has sent a message to release more fat storing hormones, than fat burning ones. By shifting calories every couple days, it will not recognize that it is getting less to put in fat storage, instead it will keep releasing the fat burning hormones.
This is important to know when dieting and often the reason that many people who drop from 2,500 calories per day to a 1,200 calorie fat loss diet menu might actually start to gain weight. That is because the metabolism has adapted to fewer calories.
From back in the prehistoric times, our metabolism evolved to survive during feast and famine. It senses a starvation diet quickly and slows down the fat burning to save needed energy. It has not evolved to the point that it realizes the difference, when it comes to dieting and cutting calorie intakes on purpose.
For that reason, the best fat loss diet menu would be ones that use normal food, utilize calorie shifting and are nutritious, fat burning foods that will make us drop those extra pounds, quickly. There are some programs on the Internet that can help you drop nine pounds in eleven days using the calorie shifting in accelerated fat loss menus or diets.
If you are looking for a fat loss diet menu that works and contains the normal foods you love, consider the calorie shifting, accelerated diet menu plans offered by Fat Loss 4 Idiots. They have helped thousands of people lose weight quickly and easily.
This is an easy fat loss method to get started with as well and provides an easy structured plan to help shed the extra fat you want to lose!

It is completely RISK F-R-E-E for 60 days. Test it, see if it works for you and if not just get all your money back. CHECK IT OUT! - YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE, EXCEPT MAYBE A FEW EXTRA POUNDS

Hoodia Diet Pills - Do they Really Work?



According to the British Heart Foundation 17% of men and 21% of women are obese, while 46% of men and 32% of women are overweight. Apart from a small handful of genetically related cases, the vast majority are due to overeating and food addiction.
Is it any wonder then, that Hoodia diet pills are among the most recent diet craze supplements to have hit the market place. They are being advertised as all-natural, '100% vegan diet pills'.
The Hoodia plant itself, has been known about and used for centuries. Hoodia diet pills are certainly appealing - or at least interesting - to perennial dieters who are always looking for and ready to try new weight loss products.
Ready to find out more? Here's what you need to know about hoodia diet pills.
What is it and how does Hoodia work?
Hoodia diet pills work by fooling your mind into thinking that you are already full, thereby suppressing your appetite and limiting your food intake, which in turn helps you to lose weight. The pills are made from the Hoodia gordonii plant, the only variation which contains this particular natural appetite suppressant. Hoodia diet pills also claim to have the highest concentrations of Molecule P57, which is the chemical that blocks hunger signals to your brain. This species is also the same one that was used by the ancient South African San tribe to 'kill hunger' during wars and long battles.
How much do Hoodia diet pills cost on Average?
The price of hoodia diet pills can vary depending where you go, but most formulations start at around $47, going up to as high as $150 (for stronger combo formulations).
Bottles containing 90 tablets (usually enough for three months), of 400 milligram strength Hoodia capsules are the cheapest. This allows you to try them first, without spending a fortune, to see if they will work for you. If you pay about $10 to $15 more, you can get 60 tablets of 750 milligram strength Hoodia capsules. Also available in the same price range are elixir formulations, which claim to be especially effective in suppressing cravings for junk food and night time hunger. Specially formulated Hoodia capsules with fat-burning capabilities are also available for a little less than $60. They are usually taken two to three times a day, generally before meals.
However, if you can afford to spend more (upwards of $100), then you might want to consider buying Hoodia combo formulations. These claim to be faster and more effective than the regular Hoodia pills. These fortified Hoodia diet pills not only contain Hoodia Gordonii, but also Biogenic amines, Cinnamon twig extract, Spirulina, and enzyme blends, to name a few. It is this combination that is purported to make them more effective.
Learning How to Spot 'Fakes'
What should you look for to spot a fake?
By doing your research properly before you buy any Hoodia diet pills, you will ensure that you do not waste your money on an inferior product. For instance, some manufacturers of Hoodia diet pills water down their products by adding fillers such as Caffeine, Epherda, and other such ingredients.
So, the message is that before buying any Hoodia diet pills, make sure that the manufacturer is reputable. Find those who sell only high-potency products and have access to Hoodia farms (mostly in South Africa). This enables them to manufacture top-quality diet pills with the right dosage and will go a long way to helping you reach that all important goal of losing weight effectively.

I want a permanent cure for my weight problems!


We are confronted with one of the most pressing health issues in the western world today. It is reasonable to expect every research facility around the globe to be working flat out on a genuine, permanent cure for weight problems and obesity. Please don't hold your breath.
Today, two thirds of the population is already overweight. We all know about the damage large scale human intervention can do with say, climate change. But few people, yet, will be aware of the disgraceful, largely ignored human intervention with added foods we were never meant to eat.
We follow diets created by people we wrongly believe have legitimate science or medical credentials. They claim their diets are safe and have greatly contributed to our health and that of our children. It is true, their diets have had an effect on our weight but what does that mean? Take a look around on any busy street and you will see the result for yourself. Thirty to forty years ago, NORMAL used to mean SLIM.
So, to anyone who is at that crossroad where we ask ourselves; do I start yet another diet or do I let nature take its course? First of all, it is highly unlikely nature had anything to do with your weight problem. Your body is as much a victim as you are.
The one answer I can give you with certainty: You do not want to go on another diet. They do not work, ever! They break nature's rules and sooner or later the weight will be back. Each time the weight returns, it will bring an extra bonus, more weight.
There was a time when diets were rare, when people knew what foods to eat because their parents and grandparents had taught them, They in turn had learned it from their parents. People were in tune with their body and knew what it needed. That would be eons ago right? Well, no! Just thirty to forty years.
Parents still control what their children eat, but they are guided by the experts. The foods being recommended are not what your body wants. They are voodoo science by self proclaimed experts, who defy logic and ignore evidence that people get fat when they eat the wrong food.
They even blame the victims. We, the dieters don't listen to the experts, we don't eat the foods they recommend, we have no will power, we eat all the bad foods etc. Nothing could be further from the truth. The problem is not the Dieters. The problem is the Diet. You see, we DO listen and we DO try to stay on those diets. The fact is our body will not allow us to change our digestive system.
I find it utterly amazing that it has been left to an amateur like me to discover a cure. But I am sure a permanent cure for weight problems is not what the diet industry has longed for. Be warned; there are many vested interests involved in what ends up on your food plate.
So, yes; I did discover a way to cure my weight problem, permanently, without diets and without counting calories. The most important thing about it is that It Is Not a Diet. Not only will you finally be happy with your body, but so will Nature.
