New Balance Running Shoes!
Pills don’t work… AT ALL. And, they are not safe. If there was one that worked, there wouldn’t be so many weight loss products out there. Save your money – buy a good pair of shoes for exercise, and watch your diet, and you will lose weight. And, you can keep it off.
Firstly supplements are not useless, so I don’t agree with the answer above. Yes weight lose doesn’t come easy but diet and supplementation will aid you in getting there faster. To lose weight thru cardio is extremely hard considering that in order to burn fat in any given cardio session you have to do it for 40 minutes minimum. Anything below that will just cause you to lose weight thru sweat (and by that I mean the weight you lose will be in water and not fat)
One of the best pieces of advice on losing weight is eating well and eating often. The problem with this is that it’s not always possible to carry 8 meals with you to work, and sit down for 10-20 minutes at a time to eat them. So you could break it down into solid food, meal replacement, solid food, meal…well you get the picture. Buying a meal replacement (which you could get in the form of a protein shake that wouldn’t take you more than 5 mins to consume, this is from the time you start making it) The general rule of thumb for meal replacements if your trying to lose weight is to purchase one that contains more protein than carbs in it. Don’t neglect your cards as they are required as fuel in your body. You don’t have to buy the most expensive product on the market, or even a product that was endorsed by some alien that flew in from a galaxy far far away. Since all the supplement products you see in stores are made by standard just buying a product within the mid range pricing should be sufficient.
Good luck with your weight loss. It’s REALLY hard work when you’re losing that very last bit, but then if it wasn’t everyone would be walking around topless flaunting their perfect 6 packs.
Keep your money in your pocket. Weight loss occurs one way and one way only. When you burn more calories than you take in, you lose weight. It is that simple. So supplements are useless. A moderate diet and moderate exercise. Limit intake of calories and increase burning of calories. A calorie is a unit of energy. When it is not burned by our body it is stored as fat. So use it to lose it. Save your money…most supplements are useless andeven dangerous
To be perfectly honest with you, none of the weightloss products seem to be that effective. Unless you are eating a diet geared to lose weight, no weight loss product will help you. Some of the diet approaches like South Beach Diet, Adkins, or Nutri System, makes a lot of more sense than wasting money on fat burners or products by themselves.
Supplement means “supplement.” It is not the solution without proer eating and exercise. There is no supplement that works without exercise and proper eating. There is no such thing as miracle weight loss pill.
I get the same questions over and over again. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a personal trainer in NJ and own my own fitness boot camp in NJ. I worked with a lot of people with the same situation as you. I am sure that I can also help you too.
Diet (eating too little calories) is a guarantee weight loss failure. Your body needs calories to survive. If your body does not get enough calories to sustain life, your metabolism drops to protect itself. Will you lose weight with dieting? Yes…. However, it is not a permanent weight loss. You will eventually gain the weight back plus more.
When you diet, you will lose weight, which consist of water weight, muscle weight, and maybe a little fat.
Your goal should be to boost your metabolism. The higher your metabolism, the more calories your body burns through out the day. There are no short cut to weight loss. It requires time, persistence and hard work. If you want to lose weight safely and effectively, I outline some general tips.
1. Exercise (resistance training): Lifting weights can add muscle to your body. Your metabolism is highly correlated with how much muscles that you have. Your muscle is where fat is being burned.
Basically, the more muscles that you have, the higher your metabolism, the more calories that you can burn even when you are sleeping. That is why 255-pound bodybuilder can eat more than 5,000 calories a day because of the amount of muscles that they have. They need to eat a lot just to maintain their muscle. This is a very important part of a weight loss program.
Here are some exercises that will give you the best bang for your time.
Squat, Dead lift, lunges, Military press, Push-up, Bench Press, Lat Pull Down, Pull-up, Row, etc. Focus in multi-joint movement to involve more muscles. The more muscle groups that you can incorporate the better.
2. Aerobic training: One way to boost your metabolism so that you are burning more calories is through interval training. Interval training consists of alternating between high intensity and low intensity training. For example, jog for 2 minutes to 30-second sprint. Repeat for 20 minutes. It is tough but highly effective. Of course, since it is a more intense workout, be sure to warm up for at least 6 minutes and never skip your cool down.
Interval training is much more effective that steady state cardio e.i. 30-60 minutes running with the same speed. Interval training allows you to burn more calories while reducing your time.
Steady state aerobic (e.i. jogging for one hour) is not the most effective way to lose weight. High intensity (shorter workout) will give you more results than a long boring aerobic training. Think about it for a second. Who do you think is leaner: marathoners or sprinter? In most cases, sprinter (high intensity) will be more leaner than a marathoners.
3. Supportive Eating: Like I said earlier, dieting does not work. What does work? Eating smaller meals through out the day to help boost your metabolism. Eating smaller meals every 3 hours helps fuel your body. Think about it for a second. I am sure that you know someone who eats all the time and yet are lean and you probably know someone who eats very little and yet the person is fat. A person who does not eat a lot (enough to sustain life) can crippled his/her metabolism and end up gaining more weight. .
What should you eat? In every meal, you should attempt to eat lean protein, starchy carbs, and fibrous carbs.
Lean protein such as chicken, white eggs, turkey, soy, lean meat, fish, tuna, salmon, etc.
Starchy carbs such as oatmeal, brown rice, red potatoes, yams, etc.
Fibrous carbs such as fruits and vegetables.
These tips alone can help you a lot of you follow my guidelines. Remember, losing weight too fast will not be a permanent weight loss. Take your time and commit to eating better and exercising and you will eventually lose that weight.
Quick tips: Limit your sugar, saturated fat, and hydrogenated fat. Drink plenty of water.
Good luck

Many people ask me how they can slim down. I recommend that people eat right and exercise. However, if they would like a little “help”, I suggest using natural Hoodia (it’s important to note that not all Hoodia works well, even if the bottle says “pure” or “standard”).
The Hoodia sold at http://www.browneyea.info/free-diet-pills.php is in my opinion the best Hoodia on the market. It’s pure, has no side effects, and they give you a free 15 day sample (there is a $7.99 shipping and handling charge, but they also give you free recipe and diet guides). Fantastic results have been seen with this particular Hoodia.
