I like to use energy bars as snack replacements during my diet, but most of them are as bad candy bars, calorie and sugar wise. What’s your favorite energy bar? Any not made with crappy ingredients like high fructose corn syrup would be great as well.

A Diet Pill Superhero

Diets In Review asked:


So many diet supplements make lofty claims of dramatic weight loss yet carry potentially dangerous risks.  In fact, the term “diet pill” itself can carry negative connotations in the minds of dieters looking for help.  Unfortunately, many overweight people simply cannot lose weight on their own.  Finding time to exercise or plan nutritious meals can be impossible in this hectic day and age.  It is essential for some dieters to add a supplement to their diet plan. 

One new and safer choice of diet supplements on the market is Hydrox-Slim.  Hydrox-Slim fully discloses its ingredients, which are all natural and healthy.  Hydrox-Slim contains a blend of essential vitamins and plant extracts.  Green Tea, one of Hydrox-Slim’s ingredients, has been hailed by many for its healing powers as well as its weight loss benefits. 

Many weight loss pills with risky side effects contain the stimulant Ephedrine or contain Ephedrine-substitutes.  Some of the many health dangers of Ephedrine include cardiovascular and respiratory problems.  Hydrox-Slim does not contain Ephedrine.  In fact, the only stimulant Hydrox-Slim contains is caffeine, which occurs naturally in Green Tea.  Hydrox-Slim is not only a safer alternative for dieters, but it also combats fat and calories in several ways, making it more effective than dieting pills that only have one purpose, for example, to suppress hunger.

Hydrox-Slim’s special blend of natural elements causes a natural physiological response of the body called thermogenesis.  Thermogenesis is the process by which the human body creates heat.  Substances that cause this effect are called thermogenics and are commonly used in products for losing weight.  When a dieter takes Hydrox-Slim, his or her body produces heat by increasing the rate of metabolism.  Metabolism is the body’s processes which break down food and create energy.  When your metabolism increases above its normal rate, you burn fat and calories faster. 

In addition to burning fat faster, the ingredients in Hydrox-Slim help suppress your appetite.  Not only does the diet pill make you feel hungry less often, but you will feel full sooner.  Many overweight individuals actually overeat, which makes losing weight difficult.  With Hydrox-Slim’s hunger suppressing power, you can limit your eating to normal, healthy amounts.

Hydrox-Slim’s natural ingredients also have the added benefits of reducing water retention and even lower blood pressure.  Slimming down and losing weight also has many other health benefits, which include boosting energy, enhancing your appearance, and reducing the risk of obesity-related health risks such as diabetes and heart problems.

While Hydrox-Slim seems safer and more healthy than other dieting products, it is also less expensive than other brands.  That is not to suggest that Hydrox-Slim is of lower quality, only that other diet pills are over-priced.  Hydrox-Slim costs as little as $20 per bottle. 

It is simple to incorporate Hydrox-Slim into your daily routine.  You can take between two and four pills a day, and you must take it thirty minutes before eating or work outs to see maximum results.  Hydrox-Slim is not for women who are pregnant or nursing, and if you are sensitive to caffeine, you should avoid this diet product.

Losing Weight Following Dr. Bob Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet

Filed under: Nutrition — Tags: , , — chatyak @ 12:36 am
Jeff Behar asked:


Dr. Arnot is the pioneer in organizing the findings of world’s best scientist’s and dieticians into a complete and effective weight control system in the form of a book called Dr. Bob Arnot’s Revolutionary Weight Control Program. This new program gives significance on the choice of right food to eat. Dr. Robert Arnot was the medical correspondent of NBC News and has good knowledge in the scientific details on weight control.

How Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet Works

Curbing your hunger is the key to healthy eating habit. With Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet  you will be eating small, frequent meals to avoid getting hungry. You won’t be counting calories or cutting out entire categories of food, but you will be cutting down your overall food intake by eating small meals.  Exercise is also added to enhance the food plan. Exercise can help burn calories and make you slimmer.

Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet Meal Plan

Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet does not give any importance to calorie level in food and does not exclude any single group of food. Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet doesn’t give direct advice on meal plans or recipes. Instead, Arnot suggests following the suggestions of the Asian and Mediterranean style diets.

With Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet you’ll eat more frequently, and also smaller meals. The Arnot’s Revolutionary Dietfood plan consists of three meals and three snacks each day – breakfast, lunch, dinner and a small snack between each. The Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet suggests consuming “hard” foods, foods that are either tough to chew or slow to be absorbed. Examples of suggested hard foods are beans, lettuce, celery, low-fat or non-fat dairy, and cantaloupe.

According Arnot’s revolutionary diet you should eat before you are hungry. Then, according to the Arnot diet, you will eat the right foods, avoid cravings, and stop bad food choices. It claims your pounds will melt away when you add foods that reduce hunger, improve your mood, decrease your glucose (sugar) load, and increase your nutrition.

What Food is Allowed in Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet

You are allowed moderate amounts of carbohydrates, dairy, fruits, vegetables and meat or protein. You’ll also be able to indulge in limited amounts of alcohol. Incorporate plenty of fiber like unsweetened cereals, beans, lentils and peas in your diet.

Food Items Recommended by  Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet



Hard vegetables such as chinese cabbage and celery.

Hard fruits such as grapefruit.

Hard protein such as egg whites or low-fat or non-fat dairy foods.

High fiber carbohydrates such as whole grains.

High fiber carbohydrates such as beans



What Food is Not Allowed in Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet

The  Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet doesn’t allow eating any appetite stimulating white foods like bread, pasta, or potatoes. Dieters are urged to choose foods that are not processed and contain no added fats, sugar, or salt. Fat rich food like nuts, oils and butter should be avoided.

Additional Suggested Health Benefits of Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet

The hard food in the diet will lower cholesterol, reduces heart disease, protects against ****** cancer and colon cancer. It provides essential fatty acids for healthy skin and the development of body cells.

The plant chemicals that have disease preventive properties protect our cells and reduce the risk of developing certain  types of cancer.

Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet promotes exercise to improve the food plan. The Arnot’s Revolutionary Dietsuggests both “fat-ripping” and “building a fat-burning engine” (muscle building) exercise. With all this ripping and burning, you’re sure to look thinner.

Potential Risks of Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet

No real risks in practicing Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet. The diet is a sensible one, and can result in many health benefits, vs. eating poorly.

What the Experts Say About Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet

In the book ”The ****** Cancer Prevention Diet” by Dr. Bob Arnot, he claimed that adopting a diet rich in soy, flaxseed and fish oils can prevent ****** cancer. It has been soundly denounced by ****** cancer researchers and patient advocates alike.

Dr. Arnot is not wrong in suggesting that diet plays an important role in reducing the risk of cancer, including ****** cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that diet is a primary factor in a third of cancer deaths. That estimate is derived from thousands of studies of people worldwide and is supported by findings in laboratory cell cultures and animal experiments.

These studies suggest that a reorientation of American eating habits — to emphasize fruits, vegetables and whole grains while minimizing red meats, total fat and especially saturated fats and alcohol — can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing colon cancer, colorectal cancer, ****** cancer, bladder cancer, stomach cancer, esophagus cancer, mouth cancer, and throat cancer. 

Caution should be taken regarding any diet being called a anti-cancer diet. As Fran Visco, president of the National ****** Cancer Coalition put it, ”There is no ****** cancer prevention diet,” and the basis for Dr. Arnot’s assertion is too flimsy to warrant a radical dietary shift based on diet. As Fran Visco, president of the National ****** Cancer Coalition put it, ”There is no ****** cancer prevention diet,” and the basis for Dr. Arnot’s assertion is too flimsy to warrant a radical dietary shift based on diet.

Bottom Line Regarding Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet

Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet is based on healthy eating habits and it contains many helpful recommendations regarding eating and exercise. Following Arnot’s Revolutionary Diet will help keep you healthy in the long-run.

Popular Fad Diets – Why They Can Make You Sick.

Filed under: 3180 — Tags: , , — chatyak @ 9:00 am
Jonni Good asked:


Fad diet have been popular for years, and every year thousands of people search the internet for the recipe for that famous cabbage soup – or they decide to go on the 3 day diet or the grapefruit diet, or the mayo clinic diet.

All fad diets claim that a certain extremely limited group of foods will help you lose weight really fast. For instance, the cabbage soup diet consists of mostly cabbage, potatoes and bananas. The three-day diet lets you eat grapefruit, a little bit of tuna, a tiny amount of meat or chicken, some veggies, and, strangely enough, a cup of ice cream. The so-called Israeli army diet only lets you eat one kind of food a day – apples one day, cheese the next, and so on.

You really do lose weight on these diets. You have to. These diets used to be called starvation diets for a reason.

But if you go on one of these diets, or any low-calorie diet, for that matter, you want to make sure you don’t want to throw away your fat clothes, because within just a few weeks after going off the diet you’ll weigh more than you did when you started.

Starvation will cause you to lose weight, there’s no question about it. But scientists have known for over 91 years that one of the almost inevitable results of starvation is weight gain. Your body objects strongly to not being given enough food to keep its internal fires burning, and it can’t survive for long without the nutrients it needs to keep all the various functions of it’s cells working properly.

That’s why you slow down when you’re on a low-fat diet. You feel tired and irritable because your body is trying to conserve the little amount of food you’re feeding it.

You also get cravings for food – almost any food will do, but the cravings are especially strong for the very foods that make us fat – the sugars and breads and pastas and other simple carbohydrates that make us store extra body fat. Since starvation is a threat to your survival, the cravings will continue to get stronger until they’re absolutely uncontrollable.

Then you go off the diet, and gain back all the weight you lost. Most people go on to gain an additional 3 to 8 pounds.

And weight gain is obviously not what you had in mind when you started on the diet in the first place.

But the inevitable weight gain is just one of the reasons why fad diets are such a bad idea.

The other reasons are considerably more serious. On the rare occasions when a doctor prescribes a very low calorie diet, of 900 calories a day or less, they almost always require that their patients get constant medical supervision. That’s because this qualified as a starvation diet, and they can be very risky.

Even ‘normal’ reduced calorie diets have health consequences. That scientific study I mentioned earlier put healthy college students on a reduced calorie diet to see how their minds and bodies would react.

The study volunteers actually ate more calories than the kind of diet that almost every doctor tells you to go on when he thinks you’re overweight, and they certainly ate way more calories than you get on most fad diets, like the cabbage soup diet and the 3-day diet. The study had the students eat from 1400 to 2100 calories a day.

A later study done in 1945 for the US army found that the symptoms would get worse if you added exercise to the program.

When I found out about this study, it made me downright angry – why haven’t we been told that scientists have known for over 91 years that low-calorie and low-fat diets actually cause the following health problems: Listen closely to this list, because this is what you may experience if you go on any of the currently popular weight loss diets:

* Weight gain.

* Depression.

* Food cravings.

* Feeling tired and listless.

* Constant hunger.

* Reduced interest in ***.

* Chronic fatigue.

* Hypothyroidism.

* Hormone imbalance.2100

* Scaly skin or eczema.

* Premature wrinkling of the skin.

* Dandruff or dull, lifeless hair.

* Mood swings.

* Chronic yeast infections.

* Poor immune system – frequent colds or respiratory illnesses.

* Digestive problems.

Most people believe that the only way to lose weight is to cut back on the calories, even though scientists have known for almost a century that those serious psychological and physical problems could result.

Let’s take a close look at some of the most serious symptoms on that list:

Depression, mood swings, and chronic fatigue. It is impossible to be motivated to stay on a diet, (or to do anything else, for that matter), when you suffer from chronic depression.

Heck, those healthy college-aged men who participated in the low-calorie diet studies even lost their interest in ***.

And many people take antidepressants, like Wellbutrin, for both depression and to lose weight.

Two important studies have found that the depression caused by a reduced calorie diet may actually get worse for a while after you start eating normally again. It takes time for the body to recover from semi-starvation eating plans.

Constant hunger and food cravings, especially for refined carbs: When you combine the lack of motivation that always accompanies depression and chronic fatigue, and match it up with constant hunger and food cravings, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to find out that most people who start a low-calorie diet will actually end up gaining weight.

The only safe way to lose weight is to eat a correctly balanced diet that gives your body all the nutrients it needs, every single day. Stop eating the kinds of foods that cause the excess storage of body fat, and eat lots of the foods that help you lose weight faster.
