Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | REPPED: This is part six of our investigative series on hoodia gordonii, the natural appetite suppressant herb now gaining widespread popularity as a potential weight loss pill. If you've read much about hoodia, it all sounds rather convincing: lose weight without feeling hungry. What could be easier?
But is it really true?
Let's take a hard look at the science and reality of using hoodia. First, there's the problem that there's only one decent study on hoodia, and it was conducted on a small number of people, all of whom were obese. | Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S. See book keywords and concepts | Those expectations are almost never met when people continue to do all the wrong things and simply pop the latest
"miracle" weight loss pill expecting flab to "melt off by itself.
Guess what? It doesn't.
So let's be clear: If a person is going to eat 7,000 calories of fast food a day, then these four supplements aren't going to do a thing. But if you're serious about losing weight and are willing to make some basic lifestyle changes, then the supplements I'm going to tell you about can really make a difference. | Craig Pepin-Donat See book keywords and concepts | Many people who have a weight problem are not exercising or doing any significant consistent physical activity and instead they go down the road of the quick-fix solution with a diet, weight loss pill or worse, with surgery. For those who have achieved significant weight loss, it is amazing how happy they are to have lost the fat. Often these stories include the elimination of specific health related issues that were caused by their weight problem. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | While there are, indeed, natural supplements that can aid in your weight loss efforts, putting your full faith in any single weight loss pill -- whether it's a drug, an herb or a succulent -- is likely to result in disappointment. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | How to really lose weight
My position on weight loss in general is simply this: There is no such thing as a magic weight loss pill. Not from drug companies, nor from diet pill manufacturers, even if they're honest. Hoodia will not magically cause you to become thin and athletic looking. Yes, it can take the edge off cravings and hunger, and thus it can be a helpful tool in conjunction with a serious weight loss program, but it's no magic pill.
If you want a body that's fit, trim and healthy, it's going to take a whole lot more than swallowing some appetite suppressant pills. | | It can be a useful weight loss tool in conjunction with exercise and major dietary changes, but it's no miracle weight loss pill. By itself, hoodia (even real hoodia) won't make you look fit and trim, although it can no doubt help you get there if you're willing to exercise and eat right.
Most of the hoodia being sold today is counterfeit. Only a few providers are offering the real McCoy.
Genuine hoodia has a wide safety margin, especially compared to pharmaceuticals. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | There is no such thing as a magic weight loss pill. There is no such thing as a contraption you can strap onto your abdomen that will suck out your body fat and make you look athletic if you're not willing to do the exercise and get that way naturally. There is no such thing as results without effort. However, there are some strategies that are far smarter than others. There are some strategies that have a big payoff, versus others that have a small payoff. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | There is no such thing as a magic weight loss pill. There is no such thing as a contraption you can strap onto your abdomen that will suck out your body fat and make you look athletic. There is no such thing as results without effort. However, there are some strategies that are far smarter than others. There are strategies that have a big payoff, versus others that have a small payoff.
What "The Five Habits of Health Transformation" focuses on are those strategies that have the biggest payoff with the least amount of effort. It's not about taking shortcuts; it's about being efficient. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Anna Nicole lost 60 or 70 pounds by taking this supplement, but is it just an overhyped weight loss pill, or is it something that actually works? In this review I'll give you the straight-up answers about Trim Spa, and tell you what I think about the ingredients and the product.
First off, given all of the hype and promotion surrounding Trim Spa, you may be surprised to learn that this is, in fact, a well designed weight loss supplement that can support real progress for people trying to lose weight. | Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts | In the 1990s, weight loss pill manufacturers began using highly concentrated forms of Ephedra in metabolism-boosting diet pills that were aggressively marketed as miracle weight loss aids. In typical Western fashion, Ephedra was being put into pills in concentrated, isolated doses—a practice that would be laughed at in Chinese medicine.
The active chemicals in ephedra are stimulants, and when taken in isolation without supporting herbs, they can temporarily elevate pulse and blood pressure. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | What they want is a magic weight loss pill. And so far, Acomplia looks like the closest solution we've seen yet. The real test, of course, will come when the potential side effects are fully examined. Will the drug be the next Vioxx or Fen-Phen? Unfortunately, we can no longer trust the drug safety review process of the FDA, meaning that even FDA approval is no guarantee that the drug is safe. We'll only know the answer to that question after a few million people start taking the pills. | Kevin Trudeau See book keywords and concepts | I tried every diet, every weight loss pill, and even hired a personal trainer, exercising as much as five hours a day. Whatever I lost, I put back on. When I was losing weight I was hungry, tired, and grumpy. I never understood what the problem was, not until I went overseas did I find the answer. While living abroad I ate everything I wanted, yet began to lose weight without even trying. This led me to the discovery of the reasons why Americans are so overweight, and an easy workable solution. | Robert S. McCaleb, Evelyn Leigh, and Krista Morien See book keywords and concepts | In the search for a magic weight loss pill, it's easy to forget that exercise has a scientifically proven effect on stimulating metabolism. By now, it is a well-known fact that extremely low-calorie diets ultimately fail because they push the body into "survival" mode, actually lowering the metabolic rate. A 1997 study in the American Journal of Physiology found that exercise effectively reverses the well-known drop in metabolism that accompanies low-calorie dieting. |
