My Review of Fat Diminisher – Does it Work?

I recently picked up Wes Virgin’s new Fat Diminisher program. I’ve seen that this particular diet program has been getting good reviews from other bloggers, and after I watched the video on their site — it seemed like a lot of the stuff it addressed is the same stuff I struggle with when trying to

What Are The Best Carb Blockers – A 2015 Review

When you’re trying to lose weight, there are several supplements that claims to make the dieting easier. You have starch blockers (also known as carbohydrate blockers) and “fat burners” which are said to increase your metabolism and help you burn more fat. Common diet supplements include Green Coffee Bean Extract, Garcinia Cambogia and Raspberry ketone — all of which are no-prescription weight loss aids.

In this article we’ll take a closer look at a specific group of diet supplements, namely carbohydrate blockers.
Phaseolus vulgaris

What are starch blockers?

Carbohydrate blockers are made of white kidney beans, and. These have a natural chemical called amylase. This chemical helps you digest starch and complex carbohydrates. You can read more about White Kidney Bean Extract here.

Amylase inhibits carbs, and makes them pass through your body undigested. High amounts of carbohydrates are found in fast food, sugary drinks, pasta, bread and rice — so you can easily see how blocking the digestion of these can be beneficial in a diet perspective.

Some starch-blockers requires a prescription. Acarbose and Miglitol er two blockers that can be prescribed to people with type 2 diabetes.

Do they really work?

The research is mixed. I’ve read research papers saying they don’t work, and other papers saying they do work. From my experience, a lot of supplements work for some, and not for others — so the best way to find out, is to try it for yourself.

I can only speak for myself, but I have successfully used starch blockers as part of my diet (on vacations and in the holidays, where I tend to eat more unhealthy).

Some providers — including this US manufacturer — offers you a money back guarantee if you’re not satisfied with the product. This is a good way to try the product for yourself — with no financial risks.

Scientific evidence

Some foods or supplements such as green tea, fiber, and calcium supplements or dairy products may complement a healthy lifestyle to produce small weight losses or prevent weight gain over time. (Oregon State University)

Consumption of Phaseolus vulgaris bean proved beneficial in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. Phaseolus vulgaris beans treated significantly weight loss as well as an improved plasma lipid profile. Hence, Phaseolus vulgaris beans may be useful in the treatment of AAP induced metabolic abnormalities.

Overview of The Best Weight Loss Supplements 2015

With all the different diet products and supplements on the market today, it’s easy to get confused. All the products claim that they’ll make you lose weight, but at the same time they are totally different.

I’ve written reviews on some of the more popular diet products here earlier, but today I’d like to zoom out and look at the market from a birds-view. There are plenty of reviews online for diet and weight loss products, and I hope that this and similar articles, along with my reviews referenced here will make the buying decision easier for you.

In this article we’ll take a look at some of the best diet supplements on the market today! If you have any suggestions, or products you feel like we should mention here, send me an email and I’ll make sure to update the list! However, I will only include products that has been shown to work in clinical studies, and products that are known to work.

If you have any questions, leave a comment below. If you have a question, probably 1000 others are wondering about just the same thing. In that way, other readers can also benefit from the discussion.

fat-loss-for-women

Forskolin

Forskolin or Elite Forskolin is a supplement based on a natural plant extract. It is said to help you combat cravings for sugar, fast food and other un-healthy “junk food”. It’s therefore a really helpful product if you’re on a diet.

Forskolin makes it much easier to stick to your diet — but it works mainly when you combine it with a healthy diet and exercise. It’s sort of an extra boost — and it’s great when you’re first starting out.

It fights the cravings, and it’s easier for you to stick to your diet. This helps you lose weight in the beginning of the diet, and it’s a huge motivation booster for later success! You can read my review of elite forskolin here.

Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract

Green coffee beans isn’t anything magical. If you’re not familiar with coffee and roasting (I guess most people aren’t), all coffee beans are actually green before they are roasted, ground and served in your espresso.

The green coffee beans have been shown in clinical studies to block the absorption of fats and carbs.

Another good side-effect of this extract, is that it curbs your appetite. You may have felt this — to a lesser degree — when drinking regular coffee or espresso? This is why so many athletes and models swear to green coffee — it helps them manage their weight by simply curbing their appetite.

Green coffee also has the benefit that it gives you more energy, like coffee and caffeine based products are known to do. This makes working out easier — and you’ll end up burning more calories.

What I’d really like to point out here, is that you have to make sure you get the pure extract. Anyone can call their product green coffee extract, it doesn’t even have to contain green coffee at all. When you’re buying pure green coffee extract, you’re getting just that. You can read my review of pure green coffee bean extract here — where I also recommend some solid US provider I have personally tried, and that offer 100% pure products.

Pure Raspberry Ketone

Raspberry Ketone is a herbal supplement said to help you lose weight. The product has been showcased on numerous TV shows, like Dr. OZ.

The name of the product pretty much sums it up. It’s based on raspberries. The chemical compound raspberry ketone is the part of the raspberry responsible for it’s nice aroma. It is also found in smaller amounts in some perfumes, and in aromatic products.

Natural raspberry ketone is expensive, and it’s therefore not commonly used in natural form in perfumes. Instead they use a synthetic variant, which isn’t nearly as good nor powerful. Some of the cheaper variants of Raspberry ketone supplements are also using synthetics — and then the whole point is gone.

I have previously reviwed pure raspberry ketone here. I bought it from a manufacturer that makes it in The US. I’ll talk more about that in that article.

Garcinia Cambogia

This word has been on everybody’s lips the last few years. Garcinia Cambogia is a natural fruit, better known in science as Garcinia gummi-gutta. It’s a natural fat burner, and several people and reviewers have reported good results from using it in combination with modifying their diet.

It’s important to point out that non of these products will work very well in isolation. They are called supplements for a reason! For the best effect, you should combine them with exercise and lower your calories. However, they are perfect as a kick-start, or to get more out of your diet.

Let’s say that you’re going on a holiday, or you’re a bit late on your way to lose weight before the summer. These supplements will make it easier, and thanks to appetite curbing effects and a decrease in sugar-cravings, it makes your diet easier.

Garcinia Cambogia was one of the first supplements I tried, and I did a quick write up and some reviews here: my review of garcinia cambogia.

White Kidney Bean Extract

The last one out is White Kidney Bean Extract (my reviews can be found here). This one works as a starch/carbohydrate blocker. It means that if you eat carbohydrate heavy foods like fast-food, sugary drinks or other food with a high content of carbohydrates — this supplement will block the absorption.

I have mentioned a bit on how this works, and linked to some studies along with a trusted US based manufacturer in my review above.

If you found this post useful, leave a comment below or share it in social media. Thanks! :)

My Experience With White Kidney Bean Extract — Reviews and Results

I recently tested this product, as a part of my review-series here on this blog. I tested kidney bean extract (from here) over a period of one month, and noted down any changes, and experiences such as side-effects and appetite.

White Kidney Bean Extract can be used for many purposes and many occasions such as helping to minimize or prevent weight gain from overeating, allowing you to have “cheat days” in your diet without feeling guilty. It’s also for those who want to reduce their carbohydrate intake but don’t have time or are unsure of where to start.

If you have ever had a day where you eat too much or have felt lousy about your weight, white kidney bean extract may be your dream come true. It can help you safely lose weight and keep weight off.

If you’re one of my usual readers, you know that I’ve previously reviewed some other diet products (including Green Coffee Extract and Garcinia Cambogia). This is a slightly different product though — as the main focus of white kidney bean extract is to block carbohydrates. It’s therefore a popular supplement to use on “cheat days”, while traveling or during the holidays.

The best effects are obtained if you combine the product with a healthy diet and exercise, but it will also have good effects without other diet measures.

How It Works

White kidney bean extract (sometimes referred to as “starch blocker” or “carb blocker”) is a dietary supplement that has proven to help millions lose weight effortlessly.

It is a unique and exciting new supplement composed of high quality nutritious fibers and minerals. The supplement is extracted from high quality hand chosen legumes in order to create the best product on the market.

Carb-blocking effects

It works as a carbohydrate blocker that inhibits the digestion of starches such as pasta, bread, potatoes, and more. The enzyme inhibited is called “alpha-amylase” which is responsible for breaking down starches.

Amylase is also present in your saliva, but most of it’s work is done in your intestines after a meal your pancreas has secreted this important enzyme. When starch digestion is inhibited, they remain undigested in the gut or only a small portion is digested.

The starches are then excreted (calories remain unabsorbed) or they are eaten by colonic bacteria to ferment. In simpler terms, white kidney bean extract only allows your body to digest small portions of the carbohydrate you eat. This allows you to lose weight without restricting your caloric intake. In addition to the body fat reduction, white kidney bean extract increases your fiber intake which may increase stool bulk, alleviate or prevent irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulosis, and possibly helps protect against colon cancer the same way soluble fiber does.

Effects on weight loss and dieting

When not otherwise dieting, white kidney bean extract (taken before highest carb containing meal) is proven to reduce overall body weight and body fat. It causes fat reduction similar to diets that suggest simple caloric restrictions, without having to implement any dietary restrictions. In the event that one over eats, the extract will help counteract caloric surplus. It may also help alleviate possible weight gain as well as keep important blood parameter like blood glucose and triglyceride in check.

Here is a picture from one of the many success stories (used with permission):

How to use it

Not only will you reap several benefits from taking white kidney bean extract, but it is also effortless to use.

The supplement works in a linear fashion, meaning the more you use it, the more results you will see. Each brand has a different dosage recommendation, so make sure to follow instructed guidelines.

Several studies show that the carbohydrate blocking benefits take effect within about 30 minutes of supplement ingestion. Most brands suggest you to take the supplement before each meal, effectively blocking the majority of your carbohydrate intake. It is recommended that you take the supplement 20-30 minutes before your meal.

It will not be as effective if you wait too long. Therefore, taking it when you wake up may not affect the carbs you ingest during your lunchtime meal. Consistency is key when it come to this supplement. You will need to use it daily and especially before carbohydrate heavy meals.

Reviews and user testimonials

Reviews from those who have already benefited from this product are full of success stories and advice on when best to use this product. Those who have lost the most weight use this product to supplement their current diet and exercise routine resulting in amazing weight loss stories.

It is also popular to take supplements on a your “cheat day” of your diet in order to decrease any possible weight gain. One reviewer makes sure to take extract with her when she travels because we all know how hard it is to eat healthily while traveling. They are great to have when you are at events or special occasions where you know you will be eating lots of starchy food — i.e. the holidays, birthdays or work dinners.

You might even leave these events losing weight rather than gaining! Lastly, it’s perfect for when you are having “one of those days” and just need some comfort food. You won’t have to feel guilty or add on the pounds, you can maintain your weight by blocking carbs from being digested.

Expected Results

Peer reviewed studies have shown using white kidney bean extract daily to help lose on average 4-6 pounds in 30 days. Although, it is not unheard of to lose 10+ pounds after 30 days of consistent use.

For best results and maximum weight loss, 30 minutes of exercise and a balanced diet is recommended. One study resulted in weight loss of 7.5 pounds in 30 days by just taking 100 mgs of white kidney bean extract before each meal where the placebo group gained nearly 6 pounds during the 30 days on the same diet.

Subjects who adhere to a program including
dietary modifi cation, exercise, and behavioral intervention can
signifi cantly reduce their weight and waist size in a short period
of time. In an exploratory analysis of data, the tertile of subjects
who ate the most carbohydrates experienced a signifi cant
reduction in both weight and waist size with the addition of the
white bean extract compared to the placebo group of the same
tertile of carbohydrate consumption.

Possible Side Effects

The low risk and minimal side effects may be one of the best parts of taking white kidney bean extract. There are no serious side effects. The side effect most often reported is minor bloating, gas, and diarrhea. This is caused by the increased and extra fermentation of carbohydrates. It has also been reported to experience constipation. All side effects disappear after several days of consistent usage. These side effects are not dangerous and are similar to the side effects one would experience when increasing fiber intake in your diet.

Most kidney bean extract producers don’t include caffeine or any other stimulants in their product, so you won’t have to endure any mood or energy crashes after taking the extract.

If you are allergic to legumes you should not ingest white kidney bean extract. Pregnant and breastfeeding women as well as those with kidney or liver diseases should consult their doctors before using these supplements.  Amylase inhibitors can  lower levels of blood sugar, therefore, they may not be safe if you take medications to regulate blood sugar or if you have diabetes or hypoglycemia. If your unsure if white kidney bean extract is right for you, consult your healthcare provider first.

Conclusion and Recommendations

White kidney bean extract is suitable for all types of people and can benefit anyone interested in improving or maintaining their health. According to the Center for Disease Control, nearly 70% of Americans are classified as overweight, over 35% are considered obese.

With the overall health and body image of Americans drastically declining, white kidney bean extract is a great option for many of us.

Reviews and Experiences With Forskolin

We are lucky to live in a world where a problem we can have is having such an access to food that we will eat ourselves into obesity and health problems.

As humans, we have historically evolved to allow ourselves to store the nutritional value of extra food in our bodies as fat. As primitive humans we never had to worry about ourselves eating more food than we needed, so that our fat reserves would become unsightly to the point where it is something we would go to extreme measures to get rid of.

But today, where double cheese burgers are ninety-nine cents and some of the most fun, stimulating activities can be done from the safety, comfort, and inactivity of our couches. For many of us, it’s not that we don’t know what to eat and what not to eat. It’s not lack of knowledge, it’s simply the fact that it’s really hard to stay on the diet when we’re bombarded with ads for cheap fast food and other “junk”.

There are several products out there that aims to curb these cravings for sugar and fast carbohydrates — Forskolin is one of them.

What is forskolin? Just another “fad-diet-skinny-pill”?

Forskolin is a natural plant extract that is said to alter the way our body works.

It’s not a synthetic miracle cure, but a product from nature which helps putting our bodies back into “natural mode” (vs. sugar and junk food cravings which are essentially a product of the modern society).

Curbing our primal urge to endlessly indulge in the fat and sugar rich foods that our body desperately needed in our hunter-gatherer days and burning fat from within, targeting only this and not the proteins of our muscles that make our daily life possible.

But can this simple pill made from only a natural plant really help us to deny nature and lose some weight?

Let’s see.

So many people are talking about forskolin extract in the media lately from celebrities to journalists and athletes as a way to lose a few pounds and I wanted to see for myself how it stacked up against the other ways we all know about like dieting and exercise that can have a lot of complications.

There are so many different ways to lose weight and trim fat these days it’s easy to not know where to start.

The traditional idea of weight loss tells us the only way we can do it is to eat less and exercise more. We’ve all heard that.

This is so problematic or regular people like you and me! If you want to exercise more you have to fit it all into your schedule, maybe get an expensive gym membership depending on your area or the availability, or even invest in home gym equipment if you live a bit out of the way.

I’m not dissing working out — I think everyone should work out and exercise, however, sometimes you want to lose weight, and “eat less, exercise more” simply won’t cut it.

Forskolin can be used as a great kickstart

Alot of people are so out of shape that they are almost incapable of exercise, it can be so difficult and painful to try to start working out in a situation like that.

And although dieting can be one of the most useful methods of losing weight it has its flaws. Cutting too much food out can cause you to burn whatever muscle you have, rather than your body fat. Then you’re only working against yourself!

Putting yourself on a strict specific diet will only help as long as you’re on that diet and not giving in to the temptation to cheat!

The biggest problem we seem to face with these conventional methods is the unrealistic expectations they impose on us.These diet foods are way more expensive and way less delicious.

Because of all this you could say forskolin is even more cost effective than other methods, but not simply in monetary cost but in the time you save not having to make exercise the focus of each day.

Supplement seem to be the easy way out here if you’re like me and want to lose weight while not changing your lifestyle that much so you can still sit on your couch and watch Netflix all day (I’m just kiding, but you get my point).

A miracle pill to shred all your fat away? Where do i sign up?!

Remember this: there are many varieties of forskolin!

It can certainly seem like these might be too good to be true because a lot of them are. Even many brands toting the label of forskolin can be at best ineffective and at worst harmful.

But in my experience pure, natural forskolin is one of the most effective options among other weight loss supplements.

Forskolin might seem like its just another miracle pill that’s too good to be true, some sort of snake oil product, but I can say that in my experience it was valuable in my efforts to cut down that extra flab on my belly and thighs.

I have been back and forth on the roller coaster of losing weight from fad diets and weight loss supplements then gaining it back late and pure, natural forskolin has been definitely one of the easiest quickest options.

If you’ve read my other articles, you would know that I lost a lot of weight a few years ago, and I’ve been struggling since that to keep it off.

Dosage and effects of forskolin

When you take forskolin at a dosage of around 150mg once or twice a day you will notice its effects quickly.

You will notice how it will quickly burn down your fat reserves and help you have the willpower to cut out the unhealthy foods that put that fat there in the first place.

I took a dosage of 250mg every morning with my breakfast for about 6 weeks and saw a reduction of 17lbs without having to change my lifestyle of reasonably unhealthy foods and only moderate physical activities. This was just before the holidays last year, when we were going on holidays on “the other side” — where there’s summer when we have winter (and vice versa) — so suddenly I had to get ready for a bikini season in the middle of the winter.

Where is the science in all this?

I’m glad you asked. As my usual readers know, I like to always relate the products I review to science (which sets this site apart from other sites who just put up reviews).

A study from 2012, published in the peer-reviewed journal Obesity (Wiley) concluded:

Results: Forskolin was shown to elicit favorable changes in body composition by significantly decreasing body fat percentage (BF%) and fat mass (FM) as determined by DXA compared with the placebo group (p ≤ 0.05)

Conclusion:
[…]Oral ingestion of forskolin (250 mg of 10% forskolin extract twice a day) for a 12-week period was shown to favorably alter body composition

[…]The results indicate that forskolin is a possible therapeutic agent for the management and treatment of obesity.

Forskolin is an herbal extract from Coleus forskohlii, a plant belonging to the mint family.

It targets and destroys fat cells by increasing the production of cyclic AMP, which increases the contractility of heart muscle. Since this active compound has made its way to clinical studies, forskolin has been receiving high praise and attention from many medically-minded individuals.

On a side note: It has in the past been used clinically for its cardiac benefits. It has even been speculated that it may have effects in other cells of the body such as platelet and thyroid cells preventing dangerous platelet aggregation and adhesions, possibly preventing the growth of tumor cell growth and cancer metastasis although there has been no extensive research to support this.

My review and opinion

Like I said earlier, my experience with forskolin has been a pretty positive one. I took a dosage of 250mg of pure, natural forskolin every morning and within a week I noticed the pounds coming off.

I’m not the only one I’ve known to have such a great experience. A girlfriend of mine was struggling to burn the fat in those hard to reach places after a weight loss surgery, trying everything, diets and exercising as well as other supplements like green coffee extract but she told me that forskolin was the only thing that could actually take those last few pounds in her stubborn flabby areas.

Every person is different, for her it worked even better than it did for me. It could be even better or worse for you but trying it is the only way to find out.

Forskolin supplements are a cost effective solution to fight overweight and obesity. Thousands of people all over the world already tried this “miraculous” weight loss ingredient and are very happy about the results.

And this isn’t just a new fad diet thing people have been taking for a little while. Forskolin has been used for hundreds of years, for more than just weight loss.

Effectiveness on weight loss

It has been found that forskolin has been more effective for weight loss in men. I don’t think this is specific to forskolin in my opinion. It’s always been such a frustration for me to see my husband drop pounds even quicker than I do on every method we’ve tried.

I’m always stuck trying to get those last stubborn flabs while he has met his goals. Forskolin can be a good thing you can use to get just a little bit ahead of anyone else.

Which of the many types of forskolin is the best?

Forskolin is just like any other weight loss pill in the way that there are dozens of people manufacturing it, all trying to get ahead of each other and make the most money they can, at your expense if they have to.

This could mean adding fillers and such, so that that 150mg only has 50mg of real forskolin.

It has been shown in most of the studies regarding the supplement that a purity of at least 20% to receive the optimal benefit for weight loss. Because of both these thing you have to be super careful and meticulous to look for only supplements that can call themselves pure and natural forskolin otherwise you could be putting dangerous synthesized chemicals into your body that are likely to have lasting side effect.

For referenece, I bought pure forskolin from this site (click here), which offers a pure U.S. Made brand. I like to buy quality, so I know what I’m getting.

forskolin-elite-pure

Negative sides and side-effects

In my experience with the pure and natural variety there was no side effects to speak of. Clinically it has been linked to low blood pressure in patients of blood pressure medication. Most manufacturers will not recommend that you take forskolin if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, theorizing that it can slow the growth of the fetus, although this has not fully been substantiated in any studies.

Let’s wrap it up!

Forskolin can be such a great thing if you are someone who wants to lose weight and don’t have the ability or opportunity for diet or exercise.

In today’s world you might have trouble losing weight for various reasons including that you have trouble exercising, healthy food is too expensive or you simply don’t have the time to do those things forskolin can be the easy way out.

Although forskolin is in no way the magical miracle pill that will solve your problems it can’t be denied that it can certainly help you with all of your weight loss need.

The best kind of pure forskolin you can get comes from this provider. They’re based in the U.S. and offer a pure natural product. Here you can be certain that you get quality! They’re even so confident in their own product that they offer you a money back guarantee — no questions asked.

So if you’re not — for whatever reason — satisfied with the product, they’ll reimburse you the full amount. It’s literally risk free — and it may be the opportunity you’re looking for to accelerate your fat loss (it worked very well for me).

My Review of Pure Coffee Bean Extract

When I first heard of green tea extract and its use as a weight loss supplement I was skeptical.

I mean, It has been preached about on the Dr. Oz show, by the guy who has a different solution to all of your health problems in every single episode!

But through my strange interest in these seemingly stupid fad diet products I have lost belly fat and trimmed down my thighs quite a bit and green tea extract is a product that helped me more than any other single product.

At the time of buying this, I wouldn’t call myself fat. I used to be overweight a few years ago, and I then lost a lot of weight. However, still, I tend to pack on a little extra weight in the winter over the holidays. I always end up wanting to lose that extra pounds before the summer kicks in, but these “few extra pounds” are hard to trim away.

Anyways, I’ve done a write-up here on my experience, along with references to peer reviewed studies in medical journals relating to green coffee bean extract.

What is green coffee beans — and what’s the big deal?

Green coffee beans are just coffee beans that didn’t go through the roasting process that makes them fit for your espresso machine.

It makes me wonder why these supplements cost so much more than my regular iced mocha latte, but Starbucks has never helped me lose 7 pounds.

Thats right! 7 pounds. From my single month of testing this, with no other supplement or diet, I lost 7 pounds.

For me that was all I needed to lose now — the last bit of comfort weight to get me ready for the bikini season ’15.

Now, I love food (ask my friends), and with a lot of these supplements they recommend to use it alongside diet and exercise when I just want to eat my same delicious diet high in carbs and fats.

Long term, it’s important to change your lifestyle, but sometimes a little kick-start or help from natural supplements like this (or Raspberry Ketone or Garcinia Cambogia) makes or breaks the diet.

How does it work?

Green coffee extract works partially by blocking the absorption of these fats and carbs. A study done a while ago concludes:

These results suggest that GCBE is possibly effective against weight gain and fat accumulation by inhibition of fat absorption and activation of fat metabolism in the liver. Caffeine was found to be a suppressor of fat absorption, while chlorogenic acid was found to be partially involved in the suppressive effect of GCBE that resulted in the reduction of hepatic TG level

Another part of the reason why this worked so well was because after taking these supplements it does exactly as everyone advertises, curbs your appetite!

You may have felt the same, to a lesser degree, after drinking regular coffee?

natural-green-coffee

Temptations are less tempting and food in general just seems like less of a priority. This means you’ll just feel less hungry. I would find myself eating something really light for lunch or altogether skipping it and feeling just fine about it for the rest of the day instead of feeling like I needed to devour everything in sight.

For many of us, what makes weight loss so hard isn’t necessarily the fact that we don’t know what to do — it’s the fact that it’s so damn hard to stick to it! Without going too off-topic here, all the knowledge in the world is neatly gathered in books and online resources, we can do and learn anything we want — but what’s stopping us is that it’s hard to just do it.

Make sure you get the pure extract

There are a lot of supplements that contain green coffee, but even less that contain anything pure. A lot of them are only have so much and the rest can be other vitamins or fillers.

I used pure green coffee because I wanted to test that supplement in particular. Even within the pure products, there are differences. At the end of this article I’ve listed the best ones, which are proven to contain pure coffee bean extract.

I ordered from this supplier – and I can highly recommend them. It’s US Made and high quality. This is also the only provider of 100% pure green coffee extract! If you buy it other places, you may get 80%, or even less!

I personally can’t speak at all to other kinds effectiveness but would not trust a product that is advertized and green coffee and only has a certain percent of that in it.

I’m sure you can all agree that a glass of coke, with 90% ice cubes isn’t really a glass of coke?

When you aren’t feeling hungry all the time it’s easy to get stuck into eating whatever looks the most delicious, however less of it. At first I would barely eat but when I did it would be just a few cookies or something bad like that but I found that I would feel better and more well rounded eating a more steady diet including more protein and fiber even if you don’t feel like eating.

Other effects on green coffee (i.e. on energy)

Many people say that with green coffee extract you will feel more energetic and that it generally works as a mood enhancer. While I have noticed an extra burst of energy in myself I wouldn’t say it has improved my mood necessarily, it has a somewhat similar effect in that way as normal, roasted coffee.

This is because many of the same active chemicals are the same in both varieties of coffee: caffeine which we are all familiar with and the properties of and Chlorogenic Acid, most of which is cooked out during the roasting process.

Chlorogenic Acid is a powerful antioxidant and is known to stimulate the production of lypolitic enzyme, which breaks down fat deposits in the body and facilitates re-absorption so it can be converted into energy.

Aside from this, chlorogenic acid has also been proven to fight off the body’s tendency to convert unused energy into stored fat. This miracle chemical is the powerhouse of the weight loss aspect of green coffee while the caffeine is the appetite suppressant.

Negative sides and side-effects

Although green coffee contains less caffeine than the roasted beans green coffee has all the same adverse effects, one is it can be extremely addictive. High consumptions of caffeine can lead to insomnia, gastrointestinal illnesses, and even depression. Because when you aren’t able to get enough sleep, your body fails to regenerate thus making your immune system weak. Aside from that, caffeine is a diuretic and that means more of the vitamins and minerals that you consume is excreted through your urine rather than absorbed by your body.

But if you understand how caffeine affects your body from coffee and energy drinks you will have a good idea of how it will affect you in green coffee extract.

A regular cup of coffee made from roasted coffee beans has more than 100 mg of caffeine per serving. And some of cups will be made in alternative ways or have shots of espresso, the caffeine level of these can reach as much as 400 mg. And don’t even get me started on those energy drinks!

A serving of green coffee contains just 20 mg of caffeine. That means you have to take as much as five times the number of the cups of coffee you take to get to that same level. And that is plainly beyond the recommended dosage.

In normal recommended dosage, green coffee has no side-effects.

Scientifically backed!

It has been shown in scientific studies that green coffee can boost your metabolism 3-13%. Some studies suggest it can reduce the absorption of carbs so this explains one way it can work and be effective in some of the same ways as a low-carb diet without having to cut out those carbs.

For the most part study on this wonderful supplement has only scratched the surface but we can tell that it has a lot of weight loss properties that we can harness.

My review — is it worth it? And does it really work that well?

But what is really more important than how it works is the results. Like I said after I used it for a month I lost 7 pounds with very little effort.

All I had to do was take a pill and it worked for itself. But when you’re looking at supplements like this you have to understand a few things about it.

While it is definitely easy to lose weight on them without doing anything else it is a bit slower than diet and exercise and after you stop taking the supplement you should live a more healthy lifestyle to avoid just gaining it right back.

So in my experience it was super helpful at helping me lose but each person’s body is a little bit different. According to the studies most people will respond positively but that might not be you. I have personally known a lot of people who haven’t responded well to a low-carb diet, but this supplement works in more ways than just blocking the absorption, it also works as an appetite suppressant, so it’s likely that if it doesn’t work great for you it will still work moderately well.

Sort of a win-win. Because of the two pronged attack it is more likely to be right from you, even if it’s not for everyone.

I must say that is possible to be allergic to it, although his is extremely rare, but it is possible. People who are allergic to coffee can show symptoms such as hives and breathing difficulties. If you also can’t drink soda or tea, then you are allergic to the caffeine. If you can’t drink decaffeinated coffee, then you’re allergic to the coffee itself.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take pure green coffee extract. Most of the supplement manufacturers have a warning to this effect on the bottle. So if you are trying to lose the fat after having a baby and you’re breastfeeding it’s not for you. It is not because green coffee supplements have been proven to be dangerous for women in these conditions. It’s a reasonable precaution because there has not been enough conclusive data from studies involving these types of women, to discount the possibility. As I said before, as far as studies, they have barely scratched the surface.

So, how do I feel about the product? In short my answer is that it is awesome.

>> Try it risk free here

But my answer has more to it than that.

While it works more than other diet pills you have to understand that there is no “Skinny Pill” this will help you lose some weight but when you stop taking it if you go back to your previous lifestyle you’ll gain it back.

Blocking of fat and carb absorption and appetite suppression only works as long as you are taking the supplements. If this is what you want, this is the perfect pill for you but if you are looking for a change to a healthy lifestyle and to change your body for good, this can help you will have to do a lot more than take a pill.

The best place to buy it, to make sure you get the real deal (meaning the pure extract, like we discussed above) is to get it here. This is a U.S. Made product, backed with a money back guarantee.

You can actually try the product for yourself, and if you’re not happy (for whatever reason), they’ll send you your money back. It’s 100% risk free.

My Review of Pure Raspberry Ketone

You may have heard about this product from TV — and I know many of you found this website by “googling” it.

Pure Raspberry Ketones Premium seems to be the newest miracle weight loss product you can while browsing online. It get’s a lot of attention in newspapers, health blogs and forums.

This herbal supplement is said to help you lose weight quickly and without much effort. You might have noticed this product has been featured in full page magazine ads and has been hailed as a “miracle in a bottle” on television.

But what is exactly is this diet supplement and more importantly what can it do for your body? Does it really work?

Does it even deliver the amazing results the product claims to, or is it another weight loss gimmick? We will be going through an in-depth review of this popular diet aid — so you can make a qualified decision whether this product is for you or not.

raspberries

Let’s start with the basics — What is it really?

Raspberry ketone is the chemical found in red raspberries that is responsible for the fruit’s unique aroma. It is sometimes used in cooking as a coloring or aromatic agent. This chemical can also be found in cosmetics or perfumes to add a distinctive fruity smell.

The natural compound is very expensive to harvest and can cost up to $20,000 per kilogram. For this reason a synthetic compound is used more frequently as it costs far less. But for the diet aids, pure raspberry ketone (natural, not synthetic) is usually used as it is said to be more effective in weight loss.

Raspberry ketone and fatloss

As you may already know, raspberry ketones have been touted as a miracle weight and fat loss product and it’s popularity has skyrocketed when Dr. Oz featured it on an episode of his show. This chemical is now easily found in the nutritional aisle of your local pharmacy and an internet search brings up dozens of brands all claiming their formulation will burn through fat quickly.

If you visit this particular brand’s website, it boasts about easy and effortless weight loss, usually accompanied by dramatic before-and-after photos. They usually include a small blurb filled with buzzwords about how their product works, and sometime feature user testimonials who rave about the amazing results they achieved.

Nothing new here, that’s how any helath product is marketed — right?

But how exactly does this product work to burn away fat?

Pure raspberry ketones are said to work by raising the levels of adiponectin which is a protein used by your body to regulate metabolism.

For those of you that are specially interested in how this works — on a scientific level — you can read this research paper by Linh et. al. 2005

A recent study suggests:

RK prevented the high-fat-diet-induced elevations in body weight and the weights of the liver and visceral adipose tissues (epididymal, retroperitoneal, and mesenteric). RK also decreased these weights and hepatic triacylglycerol content after they had been increased by a high-fat diet. RK significantly increased norepinephrine-induced lipolysis associated with the translocation of hormone-sensitive lipase from the cytosol to lipid droplets in rat epididymal fat cells. In conclusion, RK prevents and improves obesity and fatty liver. These effects appear to stem from the action of RK in altering the lipid metabolism, or more specifically, in increasing norepinephrine-induced lipolysis in white adipocytes.

Dosage and use

By consuming 1000 mg of this supplement a day you are supposedly raising your adiponectin levels which in turn is supposed to burn more fat than dieting and exercising alone. This product also claims to increase energy levels and transform your body’s flabby areas fit and toned looking.

Raised metabolism, fat loss, and a toned sculpted body all just by taking a pill?

It sounds dubious, but it’s hard to ignore those incredible before and after photos that are splattered over this supplements advertisements, not to mention testimonials that swear to the product’s effectiveness.

If you struggle with weight loss and seem to have tried every diet on the market, you may have turned to Pure Raspberry Ketones as your last hope.

And why not?

Their website seems to have all the scientific evidence on why their product works and it’s hailed as an all natural fat burner that will rapidly make you drop weight. They even boast about effective clinical trials and how this product is recommended by doctors. For people who find it difficult to lose weight this product can be very tempting to purchase. Like all diet products however, results are not 100% guaranteed.

>> Try Raspberry Ketone Premium today (US made and 100% natural product)

If you search for reviews online you can see results are generally positive, with a few negative experiences sprinkled here and there. That is very common with any weight loss program as no two users’ situations are identical, therefore making results vary greatly.

Some users hail it as a wonderful diet aid which has helped them shed the pounds away, while others say it did absolutely nothing for them or that they even gained weight while taking the supplement. But there probably an underlying reason for the weight gain that some people experience.

In conjunction with dieting and exercise

All diet supplements work best with a reduced diet and it is impossible to burn hundreds of calories in a short amount of time. While this supplement does help you burn extra calories it cannot help you if you eat an excessive amount. Just reduce your diet a bit and the supplement will do the rest of the work for you.

When consumers claim they achieved no results it’s more than likely that they are eating an excess of calories, not knowing it’s impossible and not to mention unhealthy to get rid of a large amount of food quickly. If you feel like you won’t be able to control food cravings, even with the help of this supplement, then perhaps you should try another method.

As everyone knows, diet and exercise is the one tried and true method to lose weight. But this product claims to help you burn additional fat.

It can take quite a long time to lose even ten pounds with diet and exercise alone. Thankfully this product may speed up the process by tricking your body into burning more fat. If you are able to control your diet by eating a tiny bit less you should see dramatic weight loss with nearly no effort on your part. Exercise might not even be necessary. If this sounds doable, Pure Raspberry Ketones Premium might be the product for you.

The price of Pure Raspberry Ketone, and where to buy it?

Another factor to consider is the price. It is quite an expensive product as the company uses pure raspberry extracts, which as you have read are very costly to harvest and manufacture. At almost $50 for a one month’s supply, the price alone is enough to discourage people to try it.

But if it’s really a product that can make you lose 20, 30, or even 40 pounds then many people feel they would pay any price to help them achieve their weight loss goal, especially if it’s just as easy as taking a pill. In the long run it may be cheaper than a gym membership or buying healthier foods everyday.

It’s therefore perfect as a way to get started losing weight — and it’s also a huge boost for the motivation to keep going.

Negative factors

The two biggest drawbacks of this product is the price and the fact that you will not know how much weight you can lose since everyone’s situation is different. A single bottle can be pricey, but many customers find they only need a single bottle to reach their desired weight. In the long run this can be very cost effective as you are not spending money on a monthly gym membership or on healthier foods, as vegetables and fruits can be very expensive to purchase on a daily basis.

Although initially expensive, it can help you save money especially if you are eating less alongside with it since you are spending less money on food. If you manage to hit your goal weight and maintain it properly, this supplement can be a one time purchase.

The fact that you will not know how much weight you may lose might be disconcerting. However look at the research and customer testimonials. Often you can find a user with a similar starting weight and lifestyle as you have. That way you can have a better idea on how it will affect you.

At the very least there is a return policy so if you are not completely satisfied you can get your money back. For this reason it might be a good idea to at least try the product as you can always get your money back if you achieve your desired results.

The conclusion — Should you buy it, or stay away?

Weight loss is one of the hardest struggles many adults have to deal with. It can be hard know how to lose weight with the countless of diets and products that all claim to be the most effective. Many of these diet aids contain harmful chemicals that can make you sick.

Raspberry ketones is all natural and has been endorsed by many doctors as a healthy alternative to some of the more dangerous weight loss supplements. The side effects for this product are very minimal and for most, nonexistent.

Unlike many other diet aids, raspberry ketones delivers weight loss without giving you unpleasant side effects.

Many metabolism boosters make you feel jittery and gives you cold sweats and heart palpitations. A lot of supplements cause you to have too frequent bowel movements. Because raspberry ketones is all natural the chances of having serious side effects is very low. This product works with your body, not against it. However if you would like to err on the side of caution consult with your doctor so the two of you can choose a weight loss plan that will work best for your goals and lifestyle.

Pure Raspberry Ketone Premium might be the solution to your struggle with losing weight. Like all diet aids there are some cons, but for many customers this product is the only thing that has worked for them. It is a safe and natural ingredient that has been studied intensely and it’s effects have been proven. If you are tired of losing no weight with dieting, then perhaps it is time to give Pure Raspberry Ketones Premium a try.

Where is the best place to buy it — an what you need to know!

When you are buying health products and supplements online, it’s important to buy from a trusted source. I have personally bought and used pure raspberry ketone from this US provider (Click here to go to their website) and manufacturer, and I can highly recommend it.

Another benefit of this provider, versus many others, is that they offer you a complete refund if you’re not satisfied — or for any reason at all for that matter. That makes it possible to try the product risk free — and you can easily see how it works for you.

With a solid provider like these guys, along with the money back guarantee, I can’t see why you shouldn’t give it a shot!

My Results and Review of Pure Garcinia Cambogia Extract – Does it work?

Pure Garcinia Cambogia Premium is one of the latest trendy supplements in the diet industry. It has been featured heavily in the media as a powerful weight loss aid — and even been called “the holy grail of weight loss” by some.

It is also said to boost your metabolism, increase your energy, and burn away even the most stubborn fat — the last pounds you just can’t lose no matter how hard you work at it.

Sounds great, doesn’t it? But remember this:

Like many diet aids it has been criticized as nothing more than a gimmick, a fad diet or an outright scam — however many trusted sources, including well known experts in the medical field, claim it delivers rapid weight loss.

With this inconclusive media coverage — some loving it, other hating it — I had to try it myself. I’m a blogger after all, and I figured this little test would be a good basis for a new article.

Why I decided to test it

I tested Garcinia myself after I already started my journey towards a slimmer me — so I already knew how my body responded to diet and exercise “out of the box”. I therefore thought it would be interesting to see the difference.

This review will go into detail so you may have a better idea if this product is right for your weight loss journey.

Hopefully it will help you make a qualified decision, and I’m happy to answer any quetions you might have in the comments field below.

What is it exactly?

You may not know what exactly garcinia cambogia is except for the fact it seems to be featured in the media as the latest must have “super-food” that can blast away your unwanted body fat.

It is a tropical fruit (Also known as Garcinia gummi-gutta) native to Indonesia and looks like a small green colored pumpkin.

This fruit has been hailed as an all natural fat burner by various media sources, including Dr. Oz who has praised it to a great degree on his television show. This made the supplement’s popularity soar like many other products he has featured on his program. Now this product is easily found for purchase both in health stores and online retailers — however, and this is important, not all Garcinia supplements are the same.

chemical composition

What are the benefits of Garcinia gummi-gutta?

This product is said to help you lose more weight than dieting and exercising alone. The company claims that in clinical trials those who took the supplement lost more than double the weight than those that did not in an eight week period. The active ingredient is hydroxycitric acid which is said to block fat and suppress your appetite.

It can inhibit an enzyme called citrate lyase which is supposed to make it more difficult for your body to make fat out of carbohydrates. Studies from the company performed on rats have shown decreased fat and a lack of appetite and their clinical trials on humans show similar results.

These studies seem to provide good evidence that the product is very effective.

The company’s published studies might be convincing enough for you to try it. If you struggle with losing a single pound this might give your metabolism that extra kick to help you lose weight faster. It is also said to help with appetite control so if you are someone who suffers from binge eating this could completely zap your food cravings. Some users even find it’s very easy to push away a plate of their favorite junk food. The desire to binge eat is simply not there anymore. You might even forget to eat but it’s important to do so as eating too little combined with a diet supplement can make you feel very weak and woozy.

What you need to consider before you buy garcinia cambogia

There are some factors to consider whether to purchase this product, some of which you should think over if you do decide to buy it.

The first is the price of the supplement. As you can see, this can be costly for the average consumer, but if you are tired of trying to lose weight you may willing to pay any price. If I can lose weight faster, I would “make that money back” in other areas of my life, by having more energy, feeling more awake and healthier — and being able to spend more time with my family.

This product promises you will see dramatic fat loss without much change to your daily routine. For people who find it hard to find time to exercise or cook a healthy meal this can be a godsend. Between work, child care, and other daily activities, it is difficult to exercise and eat right when your life is so hectic. This is why this product is perfect for someone who is constantly on the go.

Dosage

The dosage depends on the strength and amount per serving. All providers should give you a information sheet along with your product that explains the dosage, use and potential side-effects.

Like anything you take orally, there are some potential side effects. Thankfully, the side effects for this product are generally mild, ranging from headaches, nausea, and an upset stomach. If these symptoms worsen at anytime then it’s wise to stop taking the supplement and contact your doctor. Many customers — even when experiencing these side effects — are so satisfied with their weight loss that these side effects are a small price to pay for achieving their goal weight so quickly and easily. At the very least these side effects are easily managed, and some users say they had absolutely no side effects at all.

User testimonials and reviews online

You can also look at actual user testimonials online about this product to have an idea on how this product might affect your body — like this one. I personally like to read reviews, but it can be hard to find unbiased reviews with actual scientific backing. What I try to do here, is to give you both information on the product, provide references to peer-reviewed studies and offer my honest opinion.

video review and testimonial

Reviews online are generally favorable. There are a small handful of negative reviews but many customers are satisfied with their purchase. Most say that they tried every commercial diet or program and they only lost a few pounds at most, or even that they lost no weight at all, before they introduced this product into their life. These customers have called the product “miraculous” and that is was the only product that truly worked for them. Some users even claim to have lost up to 30 pounds in a few months when before they could barely lose five pounds.

For me; how did it work?

I didn’t lose 30 pounds in a month like some other claim to have done. However I didn’t have that much weight to lose in the first place, I was sort of midway in my diet, and we all know that the rate of fat loss tends to decline after a while.

However, I did see an improvement.

I went from losing between one and two pounds per week, with regular diet and exercise (basically working out more, eating more healthy — nothing fancy), to losing between 3 and 4 pounds. One week I even lost 5. This may not sound incredible or shocking (or any other synonym of those), but it’s actually doubling my weight loss. If I started taking it earlier, I would probably see the same results then.

In combination with dieting and exercise

Like all diet aids, this product comes with the disclaimer stating that results are best achieved with a reduced diet and with regular exercise. You may be wondering why you would even need to diet and exercise if this pill is supposed to do all the work.

While the product does help you burn more fat, it simply cannot burn a huge surplus of calories. Unfortunately there is no supplement that can do that. However, this product is meant to suppress your appetite making it very difficult to eat a large amount of food, thus making you drop the pounds fast. This supplement works best if you eat less than you normally do, however garcinia cambogia makes it so you don’t want to eat. This makes for nearly effortless weight loss. Many users don’t even exercise while on it

As you probably know this product enjoyed massive popularity after Dr. Oz dedicated an episode to his show on it. He went into depth on how garcinia cambogia works in the body. He claimed that this product can help you lose double the amount of weight you would lose with just diet and exercise alone. The fact that an accredited doctor has personally endorsed it speaks to the product’s credibility. His ability to reach a wide audience made many people aware of this superfruit and has helped make it well-known diet aid.

If you are worried about putting something unknown into your body, remember that garcinia cambogia has been around for years.

It is only recently that it has been know in the West for its powerful weight loss results. With many diet aids they are filled with synthetic chemicals and ingredients you can’t even pronounce. Pure Garcinia Cambogia is an all natural ingredient that works with you body and won’t give you the really unpleasant side effects that most diet pills do.

Anyone who has taken a metabolism booster or an appetite suppressant has surely experienced the cold sweats, irregular heartbeat, or awful restlessness that comes along with it. This product makes you burn fat without feeling like your heart is going to beat out of your chest.

Negative sides of garcinia

The few negative drawbacks would have to be the high price, potential side effects, and that your results are not guaranteed. This is true of any diet aid though, and like other products this supplement would work best with a lower calorie diet.

There is no overnight cure to lose a lot of fat but this product can help you reach your weight loss goal easier. The fact that it can help suppress your appetite will make it easier to resist temptation. Eat a little less than you normally do and the weight should melt off. You don’t even need to exercise, which might be better as exercising on a diet pill can make you feel very fatigued.

This truly is a low effort way to lose weight.

The conclusion – Does Garcinia Cambogia really work?

For many users this product is nothing short of miraculous. It manages to trick the body into burning stubborn fat without harming it. If you read reviews online, many users say it was the one thing that really worked for them. Many people simply don’t have the time or energy to invest in an active healthy lifestyle so this product is perfect to give a little boost.

Once you reach your desired weight you can start to maintain it by eating healthier and exercising if you wish. This product has helped many people lose weight and more importantly keep it off. Since it’s an appetite suppressant, people can learn to differentiate between boredom or actual hunger, and when they stop taking the product remember how it feels to be truly hungry.

Even once you stop taking the supplement you can maintain your weight with just a little bit of discipline. If you are tired of trying and failing to reach your goal then perhaps it is time to give Pure Garcinia Cambogia Premium a try.

Where to buy Garcinia – and which one should you get?

There are a number of places online where you can buy it. To make sure that you get the real deal, we recommend to use one of the providers below. I’m not saying other providers are scams, but when buying these products, buying from a trusted provider is important, as you will know for a fact that the product is made after US and FDA standards — and that you’re getting pure garcinia and not some counterfeit or reduced strength lookalike.

The product I chose — after spending several hours researching — is US made and they offer a 100% money back guarantee. This is a no questions asked refund — so if you’re not completely satisfied or you feel it didn’t work as advertised, you get a full refund!

These are well-known companies in the medical industry, and buying from them is perfectly safe.

I bought Pure Garcinia Cambogia Extract from here (US provider), and I can highly recommend it!

5 Weight Loss Myths — We’ve All Thought These Were True!

Every industry has some misinformation and myths. In the diet and weight loss industry, this is more true than any other.

That’s why losing weight can be so hard. Person A tells you this, Person B tells you something else and Person C tells you they’re both idiots. Do you see what I mean? Everyone has an opinion on how to lose weight, and this leads to a lot of misinformation.

In this article we’ll take a look at 5 of the most common diet myths.
Is healthy eating necessary to lose weight?

To lose weight, you have to work out

Running on the treadmill will burn calories, so will other exercise. However, it’s not mandatory to lose weight. It’s possible to lose weight simply by changing you diet.

If you boil it down to the simple facts, weight loss is a matter of calories out vs. calories in. By exercising you will increase the calories out, and shift this formula in your favor. By eating healthier you will decrease the calories in — also in your favor.

Outside of dieting, exercise is important — so don’t take this as an excuse to slack off. The point is just that exercise, though important for your overall health, isn’t that important for weight loss.

Eating late in the evening will make you fat

“Don’t eat after 6PM” (or 7PM, 8PM or whatever time in the evening). We’ve all heard this, even from fitness experts and gurus. Time is a human invention, and there is no scientific evidence that eating after a certain time will make you gain weight.

However, eating large meals late often indicates eating poorly for the rest of the day. (text emphasized by me)

[…]
Late lunch eaters lost less weight and displayed a slower weight-loss rate during the 20 weeks of treatment than early eaters (P=0.002). Surprisingly, energy intake, dietary composition, estimated energy expenditure, appetite hormones and sleep duration was similar between both groups.

Nevertheless, late eaters were more evening types, had less energetic breakfasts and skipped breakfast more frequently that early eaters
[…]

Carbohydrates makes you fat

It’s hard to know what to believe anymore — especially when it comes to carbohydrates. Some people seem to think that carbs is the only reason why people today are more obese than earlier times, while others say it doesn’t matter — it’s just the overall calorie intake that’s important.

The root to this confusion is probably because most comfort foods and snacks are high in carbs and low in protein. But the same is true if you look at calories: snacks have a much higher calorie density than normal healthy food.

Research also shows that completely cutting your carbohydrates intake, or eating less than 130 grams per day will negatively affect your brain function.

Eating many small meals throughout the day will boost your metabolism

Eating small portion-controlled meals every few hours does not boost your metabolism at all. However, eating small meals every few hours makes it easier to stick to your diet. It also helps against sugar and junk food cravings.

These 3 Habits Will Boost Your Weight Loss

We all know the same old “eat less, exercise more” phrase. I won’t argue with thermodynamics and physics — I would lose.

However, there are several things you can do to accelerate your diet. Let’s say you’re losing a pound a month now, and you would like to double this — how would you do that?

In this article we’ll take a look at3 (surprising) things that will increase your fat loss! These are things that 95% of dieters are doing wrong, and they are making their weight loss that much harder!

Make sure you drink enough water — and then some

Did you know that most people live in a state of mild dehydration– constantly? It’s true.

If you don’t drink enough water, your body will work on idle. You will feel less energixed, which in turn makes you burn less calories. By making sure you drink enough water, you will benefit in a lot of areas: you’ll feel more energized, sleep better and get better skin.

“Water’s involved in every type of cellular process in your body, and when you’re dehydrated, they all run less efficiently — and that includes your metabolism. Think of it like your car: if you have enough oil and gas, it will run more efficiently. It’s the same with your body.”

“Your metabolism is basically a series of chemical reactions that take place in your body,” says Trent Nessler, PT, DPT, MPT, managing director of Baptist Sports Medicine in Nashville. “Staying hydrated keeps those chemical reactions moving smoothly.” Being even 1% dehydrated can cause a significant drop in metabolism.
(Webmd)

Drinking enough water also has the added benefit of making you feel less hungry. Sugar cravings, or feelings of hunger, are often a signal that you’re thirsty — and not hungry!

Chew your food better

When you start eating, there is a delay between your feeling of hunger and feeling full. If you are eating fast, this will cause you to eat too much.

Generally, your body is pretty good at telling you when you should eat and when enough is enough. However, if you eat fast and swallow your food whole, your brain can’t keep up with it.

This is an old advice, and many might brush it off as “bro-science”. However, a recent study in China showed that obese men were faster eaters than their skinny counterparts. The same study showed that men who chewed their food 40 times or more lost 12% more than those who chewed it 15 times or less.

Compared with lean participants, obese participants had a higher ingestion rate and a lower number of chews per 1 g of food. However, obese participants had a bite size similar to that of lean subjects. Regardless of status, the subjects ingested 11.9% less after 40 chews than after 15 chews. Compared with 15 chews, 40 chews resulted in lower energy intake and postprandial ghrelin concentration and higher postprandial glucagon-like peptide 1 and cholecystokinin concentrations in both lean and obese subjects.

Walk more — It’s some of the best exercise you can get after a meal

Many might think that a walk is nothing compared to sweating at the gym. You might burn more calories per amount of time in the gym — I’ll give you that. But a quick walk after a meal has another benefit, it activates your Glut-4 receptors. These receptors will absorb the glucose (sugar) from the meal you just had. It does not have to be a long walk. 5-15 minutes is more than plenty.
