Asking your Doctor to prescribe Generic Phentermine or some other weight loss pill is a short cut. Here are seven (7) simple tricks for last weight loss:

1. Clear your environment of unnecessary calories – weight loss requires that you take charge of your environment. Try to get rid of high-calorie, high-fat foods that are in your refrigerator and kitchen, and replace them with healthy, low-fat options.
2. Non-stick is the way to cook – always cook with non-stick sprays and pans. That way, you’ll automatically save 100 calories each and every time (because you’ll be eliminating the margarine, butter or oil that is used to grease the pan). Or, when frying or sauteing, try to coat the non-stick pan with a spritz of vegetable oil cooking spray. Also, try to use fresh, full-flavored ingredients (to cut the need for fattening oils and butter to add flavor).
3. Frozen dinners are low calorie – supermarkets stock numerous delicious low fat meal alternatives. Simply add vegetables and fruit to boost the nutrients, and you’ll save 300-500 calories every time you have a frozen dinner instead of ordering fast food or having a high-fat meal. You can have four (4) frozen dinners per week and be in with a chance of losing a minimum of 18-30 pounds per year.
4. Don’t deny your sweet tooth, satisfy it – if you deny your sweet tooth, almost certainly, binging will follow. Satisfy your cravings with a low-calorie (120 calories) that you can have everyday. Try to limit your intake of ‘rich’ desserts to just once a week (you’ll save approximately 380 calories per day for six days).
5. Try the dilution solution – one 32-oz soda has approximately 400 calories. Try to fill your cup with ice every time that you have a soda – so you end up drinking maybe as little of a half of the liquid that the cup can actually hold. Also, try to gradually substitute soda with water, sparkling water or natural juice – to cut calories permanently from your diet on a daily basis.
6. Eat slowly and don’t stuff yourself – let satiety register. It takes the stomach 20 minutes to send “full” signals to the brain, but you’ll save approximately 100 calories each time that you stop eating when you’re almost full (instead of eating until you’re stuffed).
7. Cut down your meat intake – eat less meat, and eat more of certain types of meat. If you eat fish instead of red meat four times per week, you’ll save 200-300 calories every time. Try to grill, broil or steam your preparations.

Good luck!

Before you head on to the doctor to get a Generic Phentermine prescription, and especially if you’re already dieting, consider this – fiber adds bulk to your diet. Because it absorbs water, which expands your stomach, fiber helps to make you feel fuller faster and longer after a meal. Obviously, this will help to curb overeating and possible weight gain.

What are some good sources of fiber? Brown rice, nuts, peas, beans, fruit, cloudy fruit juices, vegetables and vegetable juice. So, what are you waiting for, get some fiber going in that diet!

We all want to lose weight FAST, and as tempting as immediate results might be, weight loss on the scales is not always what it seems. Fast weight loss is often water weight loss, not true weight loss. It is important to understand that any water weight that is lost will come right back as soon as you “rehydrate”.

How to tell if you’re losing weight the healthy way (by reducing your fat stores) rather than dehydrating yourself:

• Any diet promising that you will “lose 10 pounds in one week!” (or 20 lbs) should probably have in the fine print that you’re likely to regain it the following week.
• Watch the rate at which the scale changes as you lose weight. If you lose more than 2 lbs in a week, chances are that more than 60% of what you’ve lost is actually water, and maybe even some much-needed muscle tissue. Unfortunately, you’ll gain it all back once you start eating normally again – because the body needs to maintain a certain level of hydration in order to function properly.

Want to lose weight? Not up for trying weight loss medications such as Generic Phentermine just yet? How about trying the 1-day fast? Here is the simple information about the 1-day fast:

• For all three meals for the day (breakfast, lunch and dinner), eat fruit salad, grapefruit, apple and orange. Drink green tea, or black tea with lemon, and one teaspoon of honey (to increase your metabolism)
• This weight loss technique will allow you to lose unneeded liquids, and a bit of fat; it’s especially good for those moments when you need to look and feel your best
• It is important to note that this diet should only be done once per week

Good luck trying the one day fast!

It doesn’t have to go ‘all downhill’ after you turn 40. You can still stay slim way beyond age 40; the key is nutrition. Individuals over 40 have completely different nutritional needs than younger individuals. For the over 40s, the calorie needs go down but you still need the same number of nutrients. That’s why nutrition is so key for this age group. Here are some tips for staying slim past age 40:

• Limit foods that provide unnecessary calories and that offer few nutrients. Focus on the quality of what you eat, rather than the quantity. Very importantly – limit your consumption of desserts, sweets, butter, margarine, salad dressing, oils, sugar and high-fat snack foods.
• Eat smaller portions of food from the four food groups. Pay attention to portion size and don’t eat too much! Smaller portions will help you to stay at a healthy weight.
• Drink lots of water. Water is important for general health, and also to prevent constipation. Other fluids that are sources of water unclude milk, herbal teas, decaff coffee, vegetable juices and fruit juices.
• Get adequate vitamins and minerals. You may need to take daily mineral and vitamin supplements. Important ones include Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, calcium and iron.

Here are five quick and easy suggested steps for rapid weight loss.

1. Choose the same rest day each week and fast until 12 noon.
2. The other six days of the week, eat a heavy breakfast before 12 noon.
3. Take a fat reducer or other weight loss product such as Generic Phentermine on a daily basis
4. Take 1 teaspoon of fish oil every breakfast morning (6 days a week)
5. Drink 1 cup of Licorice (or Green Tea) on the one morning of the week that you fast

A healthy weight is not necessarily the lowest weight you can be, but in fact, is unique to each individual. It is the weight that is suited for your body type and at which you function best, without compromising your health and increasing your risk for any weight-related diseases.

Your body weight is not only determined by gender, age, height and weight, but is also dependent on the following:

• Genetic predisposition
• Muscle and fat distribution
• Body shape
• Level of physical activity

Ensuring A healthy Body Weight
To judge if you have a healthy body weight takes more than just looking in the mirror or standing on a scale. It is a combination of everything including reviewing and monitoring the following:

• Your muscle-to-fat ratio. Pinch your abdominal area, thighs and arms. Less than an inch of fat means you are okay; more than an inch means it’s time to do something about it.

• Your body’s fat distribution, e.g. pear shape or apple shape. Be active. Get in at least 30-45 minutes exercise daily.

• Your cholesterol. Make sure that your triglycerides and saturated fat levels fall within normal values. Try foods low in cholesterol, such as, Nestle Cheerios breakfast cereals with whole grain.

• Your diet. Reduce your intake of calories from fat and include calcium-rich foods such as Nestle Svelty Skimmed Milk. Remember, control portions.

You can achieve and maintain your ideal healthy body weight through healthy eating, and by making daily exercise an important part of your life.

So you want to lose weight? First, lose the idea of being on a diet – your diet is what you eat everyday. If you need to lose weight, then you need to change your lifestyle i.e., a weight-loss diet to reduce your calorie intake; burn some extra calories by increasing your activity; and gradually change some behaviors that sabotage your weight loss.

Focus on healthy eating – not a ‘diet’, which begins and ends. Aim to make changes which become long-term habits. Persons, who win at weight loss long term, continue to eat the same way even after they have reached their goal. Here are some secrets of those who have won the battle of the bulge:

1. Have regular, scheduled meals. Do not skip meals, especially breakfast, and don’t go more than five hours without eating.
2. Keep tempting, high calorie (sugar and fat) foods out of sight. You should be able to have an occasional treat.
3. Control portions.
4. Keep variety in your diet. Do not regularly exclude food groups.
5. Pay attention to what you drink as well as what you eat, also, to the way that foods are prepared.
6. Stay connected (friends/family/pet) and have some fun. Boredom and loneliness often lead to mindless eating.
7. Don’t drastically cut calories (below 1,000 calories per day). You may lose tissue (muscle) which can slow your metabolism.
8. Learn to eat slowly. Goal: chew each bite at least 15 times. This is much easier if you are not ‘starving’. Of course, feeling a little hungry is okay.
9. Be active. Get up and move more, whether a structured exercise program, or begin by just increasing you daily activity.
10. Learn to manage stress and get enough sleep.
