Getting Started

If you are like most dieters, you've probably  have used one of these phrases : "I'll start tomorrow" With these kinds of thoughts, you are simply avoiding the problem and promising yourself that you'll face it another day, and  then when "tomorrow"  comes around, you will be assured another set of excuses will appear. You have to break the cycle, recognize that you're just making excuses, and don't give in to temptation! The stronger your passion and desire for change becomes, the better your chances are.

Gaining weight is the product of a continued weekly cycle of bad habits. Along with your new diet perhaps you should also try something different. Like go for a walk, create your own club, talk to a friend to join you and help each other. There are lots of diet programs out there, pick one you like the best, or keep checking my blog. We can all do it together. I will be posting some recipes for you. If you find yourself unable to get started, try tracking your diet activities for a week.  It took time to gain weight and it will take time to lose weight.

Green coffee

Green Coffee has been all over the news. A recent clinical study, published in the Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity journal, followed 16 people who were supplemented with green coffee bean and strictly monitored for only 12 weeks. On average, the participants lost 17 lbs each. That's 16% of their overall body fat and 10.5% body weight. The full clinical study can be found by clicking here.

According to Dr. Oz, there are several factors to consider when looking for the right green coffee bean extract. Where did the bean come from? Is the extract 100% pure? Does it have the right dose per serving? Does it contain over 50% Chlorogenic Acid? Is it produced in a FDA registered laboratory? Is it manufactured under the strict guidelines of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration?

Today i thought that my viewers would be interested in Green Coffee beans as one way to try and lose some weight, I researched a number of methods

and came up with this video by Dr.Oz . He is a very reliable source for weight loss, I hope you like the video.
