We posted a deal on these supplements from a daily discount site earlier this week. At the time, we compared prices, including that on Amazon and that was the best deal at the time. WELL....... Great news is that Amazon has dropped the price of this exact product since big time (probably to...
What is glucomannan? And is glucomannan really "the best appetite suppressant?" Here's what you need to know about this fiber supplement for weight loss that Dr. Oz swears by.
2 Week Diet Recipes and Grocery List by Colleen Russell Yesterday, we examined The 2 Week Diet and the recommended supplement list required to complete a rapid weight loss transformation in a matt…
I was taking supplements BEFORE Dr. Oz made them mainstream! If you get yourself ANYTHING this holiday season, and your New Years resolution happens to be dropping a few pounds, think about purchasing some supplements. They helped me lose nearly 50lbs. *First, read part I* **New game changing supplement blog for meaner, sweatier workouts!** After my blood work, Dr. Pagan noticed that I was deficient in a few categories. He told me that human bodies CRAVE nutrients and will seek them out... which explains those weird, last minute, night time cravings. Unfortunately, our body doesn't specifically ask for these nutrients and we eat whatever looks tasty in the pantry. Wouldn't it be nice if our stomach said, "Hey! Put down the Dr. Pepper and Cheetos and grab a handful of almonds, a banana and a glass of milk. There. Craving over and you can still button your jeans tomorrow." My body needed: 1. Magnesium (vitamin B6): After a long day at the office, mommy/daddy errands and various extra carricular activites can leave us physically and emotionally drained- making careless dietary choices through out the day. Unfortunately, our adult bodies can't keep up with the extra stress and calories like they could when we were in our teens and twenties. What we need is a metabolism booster... and that's where B6 comes in to help us out! An average adult needs 100/mg per day to supplement our bodies, thus burning, say, those extra dumb food decisions. Magnesium does double duty for yours truly. Studies prove that B6 acts as a histamine reducer for those of us who are used to getting those histamine induced headaches; like sinus headaches and migraines. Sure, I'm B-6ed up and still get migraines... but they have significantly decreased and only tend to flare up around Yankee Candle or my menstrual cycle... and you can't fight hormones! You can also get B6 by eating more fish, whole grains and legumes. 2. Calcium (vitamin D): Well, duh! I am a woman... and ALL women should be taking 800-1200mgs of calcium... unless, of course, you are already ingesting 4-5 cups of milk or yogurt per day? If not, start taking a supplement. Other than reducing the risk of osteoporosis, calcium is excellent for alleviating PMS symptoms and lowering blood pressure. 3. Riboflavin (vitamin B-2): The energy pill. B-2 is, yet, another common deficiency among humans. Why? Well... we pee it out. The average adult urinates 5-8 times per day and loses 1.0 mg each time. We lose even more B2 when we wipe! (No, don't stop wiping. Gross.) Going to enjoy a night of excessive alcoholic frivolity? Say buh-bye to your B-2 and your energy! Interestingly, though, B6 (magnesium) is found to help with hangovers... and morning sickness. Good to know, right? You may be able to determine, without a lab, if your body is craving this nutrient. Do your lips crack regularly? Mouth ulcers? Dry skin? Low, low energy? Grab some B2... or a banana, green beans or some popcorn. 4. FLINTSTONES: That's right, I needed a multi-vitamin. We all do. The problem with those big horse-pills and me is that they kill my stomach. Blah. So I chew up two Flintstones (or whatever generic equivalent is on sale) per day. They don't jack my stomach and they take me back to an age when my biggest concerns were missing an episode of Jem and Holograms and Thundercats. Flat Belly? Yes, please! Dr. Pagan also recommended that I try the "Flat Belly Diet." He said that it is the ideal diet for new (and not-so-new) moms. Technically, I was still a new mom- my youngest daughter was two and my baby weight wasn't going anywhere! So, when I saw those pictures of me from my girlfriend's wedding... I ordered the bright yellow "Flat Belly Diet" that day! The FBD is more of a lifestyle change than a diet. It makes you re-think food and the way you eat... and I am 50lbs lighter because of it. One of the things the FBD recommends is flaxseed. Whole flaxseeds can be tricky to store, expensive to purchase and difficult to find! So... I went supplement. 5. Flaxseed oil: The anti-fat. The essential fats in flaxseed oil make your body feel fuller, longer. Adding flax oil helps release food into your lower intestine at a slower pace, with a slow sustained rise in blood sugar, followed by a plateau of blood sugar. In other words, folks who add flaxseed oil to their diet plans will ingest fewer calories than those who do not use flax. Other flaxseed oil benefits include heart healthy Omega 3's and circulatory system kick-starters! It's win/win! Currently, my girlfriend with the fat finding photographer is latex-deep into Kent State's nursing program. At this same time last year, she was in a comprehensive nutrition course. Among other nutrients the body needs for metabolism, her teacher mentioned cinnamon. Cinnamon? As a supplement? Really? So, I gave it a try... and I will NEVER go a day without them! 6. Cinnamon: Such an awesome, natural, discovery! Other than it's cholesterol lowering, arthritis soothing, natural insulin making, cancer fighting and cognitive brain functioning powers, cinnamon is an excellent metabolism bootster! A recent National Institute of Health Study showed how insulin directly stimulates fat cells to take in glucose, thus helping to burn fat. Nice! Dieting During the Dot. PMS is pure torture... let alone when you are dieting! PMSing is an inevitable monthly thing, ladies! Lord knows that a week before my period, I am tired, puffy, irritable and I am HUNGRY! I just want to stuff my face with all kinds of sweet and salty, dense carbohydrate ridden crap, so, dieting can be a real pain in the you-know-what. Lucky for us, a woman's metabolic rate can rise by 10% during menstruation, thus helping us burn an extra 100-200 calories per day. If you can keep your diet somewhat in check during the dot, you will be fine a week later. You ay have to write some apology notes for your mood ridden bitchiness, but, I may have a buffer for that? *Glucomannan is worthless. Don't waste your $ 7. St Johns Wort: The anti-bitch pill. And why shouldn't I bitch? I have cramps, a headache, I can't button my jeans, my skin is gross, I'm tired, my back is killing me AND I am HUNGRY! The other problem is that I feel bad for my husband and kids. Nobody should have to deal with MOMZILLA. In lieu of locking myself in my cave and becoming scarce for a week, this magic pill helps tame the bitchy beast. St. Johns Wort is known as "natures Prozac" and is taken to naturally treat depression, anxiety and other mood disorders. Another PMS reliever is Evening Primrose Oil, but, I tried that and didn't get the same results that I do with da' Wort. If you are already taking an antidepressant, please, talk to your doctor FIRST before trying this herb. Now, now... I know that you are thinking, "Damn, Kertney! That's a lot of !@##@$% to take!" Yes. But you may not need all of this? My advice is to start with blood work. Ask your doctor to see what YOUR body is craving. If you get migraines, cramps, dry skin, cracked lips, thinning nails and hair, etc... chances are that YOUR body is lacking a few things? If you decide to try any of the above supplements, be sure to give your doctor a heads up; ESPECIALLY if you are on any medications for diabetes, depression and/or cholesterol. Also, consider buying your supplements from a reputable company online. I love Puritans Pride. They have so many buy one get two free deals, it will make your head spin. For example, I got three months worth of my everyday supplements INCLUDING my children's gummy vitamins for $42. Shipping was FREE! Hello!? Just try doing that at CVS or Rite Aid. Not gonna happen! Also, take a look at my newest information about fat and the 10 Reasons Why? It breaks down the things that may not be working for you in the world of weight loss: Real, scientific, tangible things about how the body reacts to stress and hormones, for example, and the deal breakers involved nutritionally. It does talk about supplements and the need to talk to a professional. After I got my supplements in check and my diet kick-started, I decided to start exercising. Losing weight has a yin and yang: good nutrition and more movement. I decided to go with Zumba. I was a musical theatre/ club scene gal before the baby making days. If you want to burn fat and have a little fun during your cardio session, Zumba is a good option. Mixxed Fit is another great option. One is more latin flavored the other is hip hop. I am preferring Mixxed Fit lately. According to my Fitbit, an hour of intense, full-out movement, burns between 300-500 calories. Score! I love wailing on a heavy bag, too. My MMA classes are by far the best- you are working every inch of your body- core especially- and you are learning how to defend yourself. Win/win. Part III: ZUMBA! Part I: "Lose your fat."

After seeing the Dr. Oz episode last week about the 2 Week Rapid Weight-Loss Plan I decided to give it a try. I think following something were you see the number going down on the scale quick will keep anyone get motivated to continue on with the weight-loss journey. Episode of the Dr. Oz 2 Week Rapid Weight-Loss Plan With this diet you eat tons of vegetables, limit your animal protein and dairy, and eat only good fats. There is also a detox bath you do. You are also encouraged to sip on Green Tea. These are things I can definitely see myself doing. Dr. Oz Rapid Weight-Loss Plan One-Sheet It took me a few days to locate all of the items on the shopping list. I had to go to two GNC's to finally find the rice protein powder. I had to go to a couple of supermarkets to get the plain yogurt. Shopping List I know this diet may not be for everyone. I know a lot of you may have an opinion against this diet. I know a lot of people are thinking just moderate what you eat and exercise. I just keep putting off this weight loss journey so for me getting all the ingredients and having my plan ready actually makes me excited to start this journey. I will be blogging about my experience on this diet here. I will be writing about what I ate, how I feel and giving recipes that follow the plan. I will definitely stop if I don't feel well on this diet. Wish me luck! :)

Losing 37 pounds in 20 Days ! The Secret Behind Losing 37 pounds in 20 Days !
Last week, my sister and I decided to do the Dr. Oz 3 Day Cleanse. I normally eat pretty well, and work out 3-5 times a week, but have been at the same weight for a year now, and was hoping to jump start the loss of a few pounds. The cleanse is only 3 days - and I figured there isn't anything I couldn't do for at least three days! The cleanse is very easy to follow. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner shakes are the same for all three days. Click here for a printable sheet of the image above. Shopping: - The Dr. Oz website states the the cleanse will cost $16 a day. After purchasing our groceries and supplies, we found the cost closer to $25 a day. Prep: - We decide to do the cleanse on a Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. That meant that I would need to take the Breakfast and lunch shakes with me to work. The breakfast shake is quick to make, but the lunch one is more involved. Each night I cut up the celery, cucumbers, and lime needed for the lunch shake to save a little time each morning. Day 1: - I enjoyed waking up in the morning and drinking the green tea. It was nice to be able to have something warm in the morning in place of my coffee. I am a regular coffee drinker and thought I would have a really hard time without it. I definitely missed it, but it wasn't as bad as I thought and I never experienced any caffeine headaches. - I loved the breakfast shake. It turned out to be my favorite each of the three days. - I had an additional green tea at work between breakfast and lunch. - The lunch shake gets pretty awful reviews online so I wasn't sure what to expect. At first, It tasted better than I expected, but toward the end I could barely get it down. - After lunch, I was really, really full, almost to the point of being uncomfortable. My stomach was really bloated and crampy. Was not expecting that on a cleanse! - 3:30 in the afternoon and I was exhausted! I do not ever remember being this tired at work. I can not tell you haw badly I wanted to lay down my head on my desk and take a nap! - After work I went to the gym and got in 30 minutes on the elliptical. I felt fine to work out. - Enjoyed the dinner shake. Still incredibly stuffed and bloated. I was never hungry and never had the additional snack shake and any of the three days. I don't think I would have been able to get it down! Day 2: - Woke up feeling really bloated and stuffed (still!) - Again, enjoyed the breakfast shake. - For the lunch shake, I used spinach instead of hte kale and blended it more to try and get rid of the strange texture. It helped, the lunch shake tasted much better to me. It is still my least favorite, though. - 2:00 PM: still having major stomach issues and decided to take 3 tums. It helped. - Again, exhausted in the afternoon. This normally doesn't happen to me at work. - Went to my 30 minute spin class after work and had no problem working out. In fact, it felt really good. Day 3: Woke up feeling great! Was happy that it was the last day and knew that I was going to make it. Also, my stomach finally feels back to normal. - I felt great all day on the third day. Even the lunch shake seemed a little better, but I only drank a little more than half. - Decided not to work out on the third day. - The dinner shake tasted so good. I actually contemplated doing the cleanse for another day! - I skipped the bath on the last night. Results: - Woke up on the fourth day and weighed myself - I lost almost 5 lbs. It's been a week and I haven't put any of the weight weight back on. - My sister lost 7 pounds! - I'm glad we tried this. I think I would consider it doing it again or trying a different cleanse. - What I missed the most? Chewing! I never thought it would be so hard not to chew on anything for three whole days. { To read my sisters review and thoughts on the cleanse click here }
