Before requesting a course of Generic Phentermine or some other weight loss pill from your doctor, here are five suggestions about how you can try to take control of your weight today:

1. Get physical – if your corner store is a block away, don’t jump in the car to go there. WALK.
2. Plan to do regular physical activities – whether simply walking around the block every other day or actually joining a running or workout club … do something, and no, lying in the sofa doesn’t count!
3. Make an effort to eat healthy. Forget the fast food, it’s satisfying your hunger, but also making you fat and unhealthy. There are lots of healthy options for you to consider, and no, you don’t need to go vegetarian in order to do this.
4. Get a skipping rope. You probably skipped a bit when you were a child. Do you remember how? Try it.
5. Find a like-minded person who you can be close to and try to motivate each other.

Numerous studies have confirmed that there is a definite correlation between your environment and the state of your health. Interestingly, recent studies have indicated a link between the “built environment” and obesity. Unplanned communities can apparently impact people’s decision to engage in physical activity, and can result in citizens with increased body mass.

Studies right here in the U.S. have found that areas with more bus routes, trains and other means of transportation result in citizens/commuters doing at least some walking during the day, and that people living in these areas tend to show lower body mass index than others living in areas where personal transportation (motor car etc.) is the main means of travel.

Additionally, urban environments with a high density of fast-food stores and few green groceries tend to limit the opportunity for healthy meal options, thus the obvious happens – the population in these areas tend to have increased body mass.

These are just a few of the environmental factors that could be affecting your weight. Undoubtedly there are others, and simply asking your doctor for a course of Generic Phentermine should not be your first thought or course of action. Take control of your life and your environment in an effort to lose weight and stay healthy!

A new report issued by the Pentagon indicates that the obesity rate among US troops has more than doubled since the start of the Iraq war in 2003. The U.S. Military may soon have to include medications such as Generic Phentermine and other effective weight loss products as prescribed battlefield medication!

In 1998, 25,652, or 1.6% of the entire U.S. armed forces were diagnosed as being overweight. In 2003, that figure had increased to 34,333 (2.1%), and has since risen to 68,786 (4.4% of the total). Additionally, the Army has reported obesity problems among recruits. Obviously, obesity is a significant military medical issue/concern because it is associated with decreased military operational effectiveness and efficiency. Lets see how the powers that be will handle this one.

Undoubtedly The Best Diet Ever!!!

A friend of mine is a nurse and talked to me about Generic Phentermine, the Atkins Diet, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, and the latest of course – The South Beach Diet. It seems one of the main priorities for 2009 for many persons is to lose weight. Since she is a nurse, she has done a lot of study and research on dieting and weight loss. I TRULY think she has found the real answer to weight loss. It’s called the Don Key Diet.

And it is so SIMPLE …. I don’t know why, I wasn’t smart enough to figure this out for myself !!!

Want to know how to lose weight? Here it is ….

A man calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. Weight loss program.

The next day, there’s a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.

She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.

The sign reads, ‘If you can catch me, you can have me.’

Without a second thought, he takes off after her.

A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.

The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.

On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs … as promised.

He wants to step it up, so he calls the company and orders their 5-day / 20 pound program.

The next day there’s a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning and beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.

She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, ‘If you catch me you can have me.’

Well, he’s out the door after her like a shot.

This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck.

So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs … as promised.

He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day / 50 pound program.

‘Are you sure?’ asks the representative on the phone … ‘This is our most rigorous program.’

‘Absolutely,’ he replies, ‘I haven’t felt this good in years.’

The next day there’s a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, ‘If I catch you, you are mine!’

Phentermine is widely available as: (a) a capsule containing 15 mg, 30 mg or 37.5 mg of Phentermine hydrochloride (equivalent to 12 mg, 24 mg and 30 mg respectively of Phentermine base) and (b) as a tablet containing 37.5 mg of Phentermine hydrochloride (equivalent to 30 mg of Phentermine base).

Phentermine 37.5 tablets and capsules are indicated as a short term (no more than a few weeks) adjunct in a regimen of weight reduction that is  based on exercise, behavioral modification and restriction of calorie intake in the management of obesity for certain patients.

Phentermine 37.5 is the strongest available phentermine dosage.

Yes, doctor-prescribed and monitored Generic Phentermine taken in conjunction with a smart workout and meal plan is a healthy way to lose weight, but here are some suggestions to making it fun while losing weight the healthy way:

• Try to incorporate longer walks in your day-to-day routine – go to the local park, walk to buy something, check out nature trails, walk your pets, drive to the beach then walk along the beach, go on a picnic.
• Use the stairs instead of the lift – especially if you’re going up just one, two or even three flights of stairs. Every single step helps you to lose weight – the healthy way.
• If you take the bus daily, get off the bus one stop early, and walk the rest of the way.
• If you’re watching television, jump up during the commercial breaks and do some sort of exercise in between. Having an exercise bicycle in your living room would be quite handy for this.
• Watch your calorie intake – eat less, eat smarter and eat healthy. Don’t crash diet!
• Drink more water. In fact, as much as possible, have water instead of pop, juices and other drinks with artificial sweeteners.
• Cut down on beer and alcohol. Doesn’t sound like much fun, but your body will eventually appreciate and show it.
• Watch and track your weight on a weekly basis. Know where you’re at, know your goal.
• Be patient and persevere – your weight loss efforts won’t pay off overnight … but keep at it and they eventually will.
• Reward yourself with non-food items when you’ve achieved certain targets. A new CD, whatever … just not more food to distract you.
• Share your joy with everyone around … even the naysayers and negative ones. Let them know where you’ve reached and where you’re coming from.

Hope these tips help to make you lose weight the healthy way!

Why am I fat? It’s a question that persists in the minds of many persons all over the world everyday. There’s no simple answer, but I’ll attempt to break things down in a meaningful way for you below. This is based strictly on nutritional and health-related perspectives.

Genetics – it is no secret, some persons ARE genetically predisposed to being fat. Why / how / who? Unfortunately I can’t say specifically, but numerous studies have shown this to be true.

Body Type – there are said to be three basic body types or shapes:
1. The endomorph – said to be the body type which tends to carry more fat in proportion to muscle, with small bone structure. These people reportedly find it difficult to reduce body fat and increase muscle mass.
2. The mesomorph – said to be more muscular and strong looking, and has smaller amounts of body fat.
3. The ectomorph – said to be slim and lanky, with small amounts of muscle and fat mass.
So, in terms of body type, where do you think you fall?

Calories in the womb – some studies have shown that malnutrition in the womb and a low-birth weight can lead to obesity later in life.

Stress – numerous studies have linked stress to obesity. One of the hormones – cortisol – which is produced in response to stress, is associated with insulin resistance and central obesity.

The Environment – mechanization and automation have made has reduced our activity level and basically made us LAZY. We don’t walk or work as hard (physically) as we probably should, so combine that with numerous strategically placed fast-food restaurants here there and everywhere and you have a sure path to obesity.

This is a bit about the “science” of fat. Hope it helps you to understand even a little bit better about what you may face and how to tackle it.

These three words – healthy diet & exercise – are the key to fighting obesity. This is particularly important for women because surveys have showed that the percentage of overweight and obese women is double that of men.

Obesity is not only associated with conditions that affect both women and men (e.g. as hypertension, diabetes and arthritis) but is also linked to many conditions that are quite unique to us women. For example, pregnancy complications that are associated with obesity include an increased risk of miscarriages, having a large baby, gestational hypertension and diabetes. Other conditions that are also linked to obesity in women include  polycystic ovary syndrome as well as endometrial and breast cancers.

So now that I’ve highlighted just how bad obesity can be for us women, what can we do about it? Healthy diet & exercise!

Exercise

Numerous studies have shown that exercise is an extremely important component in both achieving and maintaining weight loss. Finding the time seems to be regular cry here, but I’ll put it to you that if you can find the time for the things that you enjoy and which are important to you, then you’ll find the time to EXERCISE. Many physical activities can count as exercise – dance lessons, jogging, riding a bike, walking your dog, playing tennis, workout at the gym, and the list goes on. EXERCISE!

How often should you exercise? Everyday. The amount of exercise that a person requires will depend on his/her specific health needs, including factors such as whether or not they’re overweight or have heart disease. Typically however, us women should aim for between 30 and 60 minutes of moderate intensity exercise daily … or at least most days of the week.

For all women who are embarking on a weight- or health- maintenance program, I strongly encourage you to explore and try different types of exercise until you find one that excites you, and works for you. Yes, generic Phentermine combined with a good plan is also a good way to go, but I encourage you to find some physical activity, that doesn’t necessarily even involve going to a gym – it could be as simple as walking or maybe dancing along to your favorite song! Have fun

One of the first steps to real / effective weight loss, is managing and watching what you eat. With this in mind, you need to understand the different types of food that you ingest, and how they may impact your weight loss efforts. Today we focus on Polyunsaturated Fat.

Polyunsaturated Fat generally is oil that’s extracted from vegetables – soy mostly (but also corn and safflower oil). Polyunsaturated fatty acids reportedly lower levels of both good and bad cholesterol. You can find polyunsaturated fat in the various vegetable oils that you may buy at your supermarket, in margarine and in some dairy substitutes that use plant oil (e.g. coffee creamers).

Ultimately, the only real benefit of polyunsaturated fat is that it is NOT saturated fat (i.e. the bad fat that is blamed for clogging arteries, causing heart attacks etc.).

Cooking with polyunsaturated fat oils will reduce your intake of saturated fat, but not your calorie intake. For example, one piece of fried chicken can still deliver up to 300 calories because it has been bathed in oil. Additionally, some early studies have shown a possible association with cancer.

Ultimately, you should try not to use Polyunsaturated fat products at all. It’s better than saturated fat, but still not great. Don’t fry, but if you must, brush it on the frying pan then saute it at a low heat. Don’t submerge your food in the oil.
