Hoodia Gordonii for Lose Weight from Thighs, Belly, Love Handles, Face, & Even Burn Fat & Calories

Hoodia Certified 100% Pure Hoodia Gordonii Diet Pills! Hoodia Gordonii for Lose Weight from Thighs, Belly, Love Handles, Face, & Even Burn Fat & Calories
http://www.gordoniihoodia.net

Why Pure Hoodia? Well, for one there is no reason to doubt the sincerity of the wonderfully lean and fit Bushmen of the Kalahari. What they say about the capability of Hoodia is clearly factual. Their long history involving the use of Hoodia spanning thousands years and many generations not only speaks volumes but serves as illustrious proof of the real benefits of Hoodia. Then, as luck would have it, Hoodia is able to go to the heart of obesity crises. Because by comparison to the small handful of genetically related cases, the vast majority are due to overeating and food addiction. Plus, to the delight of the skeptics pure Hoodia has shown to be a natural remedy capable of controlling caloric intake better than the dangerous artificial drugs of the past.
H-oodia diet pill kills the appetite and aids weight loss, is organic with no synthetic or artificial appetite control agents, has no known side effects, contains a miracle molecule (up to 100,000 times more powerful than glucose) that fools the brain into believing you are full, and even stops you from thinking about food. But it actually does MORE…

Am I losing weight too quickly?

01.18.09

I've lost 24 lbs in 1 month without any exercise or specific diet. All I did was quit drinking my soda and started taking herbal weight loss pills (lipofemme). Is it possible that the combo caused this?

At first I thought it was water weight, but my scale reads my body fat percentage is lower.

I feel fine, but am slightly concerned at the drastic drop in pounds. I was 160, so it's not that I couldn't afford to lose weight…but is this much weight loss in 1 month normal?

That's an average of 5-6 pounds a week. A healthy weight loss is about 2-3 pounds a week. Unless you are under a doctor's supervised weight loss plan, I would stop taking the weight loss pills. You will still loose weight by not drinking soda. It is not healthy to loose weight that rapidly.

Do you have any ideas for me?

01.16.09

First, please don’t answer if you are not a Doctor or other health provider. Holistic is fine also.

Conditions:

5′ 10″ - 320 pound male (While I know the weight is a huge factor, please do not hound on it. That has been explored at nauseum)

Poor Circulation – Limbs and other body parts will go to sleep quickly if compressed. Couldn’t sit Indian style for 2 minutes to save my life.

Chronic Shortness of Breath under physical strain. Chest pains can occur occasionally under the same stressors.

High Blood Pressure - Only become a problem 6 months ago

Cholesterol - Problem whole adult life. Have dropped it from 300 to 191 in the last 6 months on medication.

Type II Diabetic - Non-insulin, but heading there fast. – Diagnosed 2 Years ago – With Metformin, sugar hovered around 125 until about 3 months ago. Now it fluctuates through the 200s. See new meds below. They are helping, but not allot.

Bi-Polar - Have been under medical and psychological care for years. Medicines not helping like they used to.

Possible additional neurological disorder. I base this on ticks, twitches and other neurological deficits I experience. My Father had M.S. Died 3 years ago at 62 years of age. He finally threw in the towel and let a UTI take him. He was sick with it for about 30 years. My father’s youngest brother has M.S. also and is still alive, but in poor physical shape do to the disease. Unlike my father, he has resisted treatment. My father’s was relapsing remitting M.S. and his I believe his brother’s was secondary progressive.

I had a brain MRI done 12 months and no lesions were found. I have avoided the LP due to having one 20 years ago and it being an experience that I do not wish to repeat. The Dr. butchered it so badly I ended up in the hospital. Also, my dad’s and uncle’s was inconclusive, but they obviously had the disease

Current Symptoms:

Binge Eating

Insomnia

Loss of Memory and Cognitive Function – Minor to Moderate depending on the task.
I am a college educated adult. Was once at the top of my field and now cannot hold a job. See below.

Headaches

Pain in Legs and occasional swelling – Especially at night.

Manic and depressed on a regular basis. – Usually manic at night and depressed during day, which leads to the insomnia. Sleeping pills help, but make me hung-over in the morning. I do not like taking them. Take an occasional Ambien.

Ability to interact with others outside of immediate family varied. Usually will respond to most folks in an upbeat and cheery manor. I’ve been in sales and customer service for 20 years.

But, when pressured, I resort to depressed, withdrawn and angry. Has caused me not to be able to hold down a full time job for more than a couple of months at a time. I am not ever violent, but I become very agitated and argumentative to the point where others do not want to work with me.

Other info: I avoid alcohol except at an occasional party. I rarely drink to excess. Maybe two or three times a year. I have not and have never done illegal drugs. I have an addictive personality and have always known where illegal drugs would take me. Mentioning that, I have always been a big risk taker. Money, pain and the like.

I have limited physical exercise, due to shortness of breath and poor circulation. I enjoy working out, it just hurts to much.

To see me on the street, you would not suspect most of this stuff, except of course the obesity.

Med List:

Lamictal - 300mg once daily - Taken for 4 years at variable doses.
Wellbutrin XL - 150mg once daily - Taken off and on for about 5 years.
Prozac - 60mg - once daily - Taken for 1 year.
Lorezapam - 0.5mg - once daily - Taken for 1 year

Simvastatin - 40mg – once daily – Taken for 6 months
Metoprolol - 100mg - once daily -Taken for 6 months

Metformin - 1000mg twice daily - Taken for 2 years at this dose
Actos - 15mg - Just started last week.
Glipizide - 10mg - once daily

Herbals

Cinnamon - 3000mg daily
Walgreens Diabetic Vitamin Pack - Two many items to list. Taken daily.

I know this is a ton of information, but I need someone to look at the whole picture. My Drs just treat symptoms and never seen to get to the root of the problem. They are excellent Drs; one Harvard Educated, but like my father I just think they don’t know what to do with me.

Also, please no lectures about putting this stuff on an unsecured site. I could care less who reads this. I want to get better. I want to be productive again.

First of all : Margie M is right you just don't know who is answering your questions; but I am for real - a nurse who has worked in a big city hospital and that is exactly where you will get the best care !

I also have a neurological condition like MS for which I am on many medications but I also take supplements :

*Omega 3 fish oils - the lining on the nerves is made up of the same sort of stuff as Omega 3 Oils. Take as supplements and/or eat oily fish - tuna, mackerel, salmon, olive oil, flaxseeds/oil, sunflower seeds. It will lower your cholesterol as it is 'good fats' and prevent loss of myelin from nerves and keep your heart and mucous membranes healthy. Helps with any sort of depression.

*Magnesium tablets - helps your nerves to send messages; reduces spasm and twitches in muscles; relaxes your for sleep. Also found in almonds, brazil nuts and dates etc. Helps with any sort of depression.

*Have oat porridge for breakfast with prunes. This is an excellent source of protein to build strong muscles and complex carbohydrates. The prunes will keep you regular and this will help you to lose weight. Protein is needed to make neurotransmitters of which dopamine is one, something that people with depression have in low supply.

*Eat citrus fruit especially oranges as they contain a nutrient called Rutin which helps to keep small blood vessels healthy and strong - important for everyone especially diabetics.

*Drink 8 glasses of water a day; this will help with getting all the nasties out of your body.

*Try to get to sleep around 9 pm as the amounts of hours sleep one gets BEFORE midnight is the time that the body makes serotonin which is the happy neurotransmitter. To jig your body into going to bed earlier get up earlier at 6 am. Even though you may be still tired GET UP and on with the day as this is the best way to get into a regular sleep pattern.

I wish you all the best.

what supplements can i take for my hypothyroid symptoms?

01.14.09

i have:

thinning hair, getting over depression (finally), weight gain, tiredness, lack of motivation, and RLS symptoms, etc., the regular hypothyroid bit.

the thing i am REALLY tired of is the fact that my doctor thinks i am being hypochondriac because i am only 21. i have a hard time keeping a job/passing college/having a normal life because i am sooo tired all the time. well, it's not so much "tired" anymore, i just feel like i must sleep 12+ hours a day to function. am i addicted to sleep? what is my body's problem?

other problem is MEMORY. i can't seem to remember huge chunks of my past, near and far, as well as short-term memory stuff, like where i'm driving to, which class do i have today, or what did i come upstairs for? it's getting really old! i am 21 and i feel like i have alzheimer's disease. i feel like an old woman. it's so hard.

for the hair and nails, i have been taking prenatal vitamins. but for my muscle twitches and cramps, 12+ hr sleeping, and memory loss i need a solution…

over the counter? Rx i could ask my dr. about? herbal? anything for my memory and sleep. please help me. it's been two years and it's getting old. i want my own place but i don't have the strength.

please advise me based on something that would not interfere with:
synthroid 50mcg
prozac 40 mg
zyrtec two pills daily (as per dr….bad allergies)
generic multivitamin
sloFE iron pills and caltrate d for my muscle twitches and cramps
and fiber chews for IBS :D quite a list i know.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! thanks!
sorry if i was not specific. i HAVE BEEN diagnosed with hypothyroid, not just symptoms. sorry! thanks!

You might try something called "Raw Thyroid". I find it at the natural foods store. Extra Vitamin B supplements are also good for the thyroid. I like "Emergen-C" which is loaded with Vitamin B as well as C. That can be found at about any grocery store, or pharmacy isle.

Somebody keeps reporting my questions. What can be done to prevent this?

01.12.09

recently somebody have started to report my answers on yahoo answers community. As a result I keep to receive lettersinforming abut cancelation of my answers. I have appealed almost all cases and even received such a message from yahoo team

Thank you for taking the time to submit an appeal. Upon review, we found the following answer was not in violation of the Answers Community Guidelines:

“Nowadays weight loss is bothering a lot of minds. I am convinced the the best way to loose weight is to increase your physical activity and to eat fewer calories. It’s best to lose weight slowly. And many experts say you can do that without going on a “diet.” Instead, the key is making simple tweaks to your lifestyle. One pound of fat — is equal to 3,500 calories. By shaving 500 calories a day through dietary and exercise modifications, you can lose about a pound a week. If you only need to maintain your current weight, shaving 100 calories a day is enough to avoid the extra 1-2 pounds most adults gain each year. However there are a lot of diet pills offered in the market. I would not in any case intake any chemical diet pills. It is well known that they affects your psychiatric conditions and even can lead to suicidal thoughts. As by my experience the most safe should be some natural remedies, for example some herbal preparations like “Slimfast”. I personally did not take slimfast as I am totally satisfied with my body shape and weight but I have an aunt who is obsessed with idea to loose weight for some years already. She tried a lot of methods starting from herbalife,starvation, weight loss tea, diets and etc but unfortunately nothing showed great results. Her last choice is “Slimfast” and so far she is satisfied with results. Good Luck!”

So my question has been restored back. It means that I did not violate any yahoo answers rules.

MY QUESTION IS HOW I CAN LEARN WHO REPORT MY ANSWERS TO BE DELETED OR AT LEAST WHAT I CAN DO TO PREVENT SUCH CASES?

question about diet aids?

01.10.09

are there any diet pills/aids that really work? it seems like all the weight loss products they advertise are just herbal supplements etc and i hear none of them work–has anyone used anything that really helps curb your appetite? i know we have to excersise in order to lose weight and there are no magic pills–but years ago the dexatrin pills did help because they made you not feel hungry—-by the way does anyone know why they changed those? i know they are different now and they no longe rhave an ingriedient they originally did as–why did they have to change them–was it the fda?thanks
i do know that there are no magic pills but many claim to curb your hunger and i find that hard to believe because everyine i know that has tried the ones that claim this have told me it dies not curb hunger at all

Diet pills are only a supplement to help with weight loss and you still have to go on a slimming diet as well. They are not magic pills that work without going on a slimming diet.

Should I be concerned about my already-skinny stepmother’s unending quest to be thinner?

01.08.09

My stepmom is already thin. People comment on it all the time with worry in their voices. She’s always been thin, yet she will not be convinced that she doesn’t need to lose weight. In the 15 years I’ve known her, she has not stopped counting calories, avoiding carbs, taking up fad diets (South Beach, Atkins, Weight Watchers, Master Cleanse, etc., etc.), and skipping meals altogether. Our refrigerator contains nothing but low-fat / fat-free / diet / low-calorie / 0-calorie / negative-calorie products. Now, just a few days ago, I found something that really sent up a red flag: a stash of appetite suppressants and diet pills that fills a kitchen drawer and two cupboards. It includes:

-”Quick Boost” Energy Drink Mix / Dietary Supplement from Quick Weight Loss Center (24 boxes, each containing 14 units)

-”Herbal-Slim Lite” from Quick Weight Loss Center (3 bottles, each containing 180 capsules)

-”EFA” Essential Fatty Acid Dietary Supplement from Quick Loss Weight Center (8 bottles, each containing 120 capsules)

-”Carb Blocker” from Quick Loss Weight Center (8 bottles, each containing 90 capsules)

-”Herbal-Slim Metabolizer” from Quick Loss Weight Center (4 bottles, each containing 180 capsules)

-”15-Day Weight Loss Cleanse & Flush” (1 bottle containing 60 capsules)

-”Fücothin” Concentrated Fucoxanthin (1 bottle containing 60 capsules)

-”Zenergize: Burn” Natural Weight Loss Boost (2 boxes, each containing 10 units)

-”Naturalean Complete: Trim Effects Crave Control Formula” (1 bottle containing 100 capsules)

-”Glycotrol” from the Houston Weight Loss & Lipo Center (2 bottles, each containing about 50 pills)

-”Slim Shots” Liquid Appetite Controller (1 box containing 30 shots)

I hope my stepmother is not taking all of these products concurrently. It appears that she’s at least sampled each one, and worked her way through many of them. A quick glance over these products reveals that few, if any, are FDA-approved. “Slim Shots” claims that four separate studies point to the efficacy of their product, but I can’t find any of these studies published anywhere. The claims of some of the other products (e.g. Fücothin) seem to be based on results of preliminary studies that have not yet been replicated. And although they all claim to be “all-natural” and “chemical-free,” they seem to have effects on the body that could still be dangerous: altering the pancreas’ absorption capacity, changing the body’s base metabolic rate, making the body feel full when it is actually hungry, etc. And isn’t GlycoTrol intended for people with diabetes? I know my stepmother is not diabetic.

The worst part is that my sister and stepsister, both teenagers, have learned that the compulsive quest for thinness is completely normal and that taking supplements for weight loss is nothing unusual. My sister, who is 19 and perfectly thin, berated me today after I criticized her for taking Sim Shots. She claims to have her own sizable stash in her room somewhere.

Am I making a big deal out of nothing, or is there cause for legitimate concern here? Is this grounds for some sort of intervention? Should I talk to my doctor?
I should probably add that I've heard through the family grapevine that my stepmother has suffered from eating disorders as a teenager and young woman.

Hi, thats so wonderful that you are concerned about her. I definitely would be as well. My parents are both in the medical field so I know a bit myself about these sort of things. I would suggest first going to the person with the most sway over your stepmom and get them to talk to her about the very serious potenial health problems that could arrise from what shes doing. Talking to a doctor is by no means a bad thing to do. If it means the health of your stepmom, I would suggest arranging a meeting with your stepmom, her doctor, and possibly yourself if the doctor needs someone from the outside of her problem to give their opinion…
i hope this helps.

water weight? weight plateu?

01.06.09

I've been on my new diet for 4 days (the fourth day now) and I've already lost 1.76pounds. I only drink water and watch what I eat. I count calories eaten and burned and I always make sure Ive burned more calories than Ive consumed. I havent been exercising yet coz Im waiting for my treadmill to arrive but I work 8.5hour days and Im on my feet the whole time. I am also using fat blaster max, its a herbal diet supplement theres actually nothing it in chemical wise. Everything that is in it is herbal, like green tea for metabolism etc. I looked into it before I purchased it and its been reviewed to work. Plus Im having no side effects.

My question is, do you think the 1.76pounds would mostly be water weight? Or actual stored fats being burned? (Coz in a roundabout way Im not eating any fats coz theyre being disposed of by the diet pill so youd think youd be burning your fat stores straight away). Also, do you think the weight loss will continue like this? or will it plateau?

Oh Im 20 years old. Starting weight of 140.21pounds, current weight 138.45. Im 5'4. And my goal weight is 114pounds.
SubJ… I've seen your exact same answer on nearly every post. Seriously, people come here for individual help not some generic answer that sounds like bulls!t anyway.
STOP POINT SCAMMING.

Eat well but only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. To have more satisfaction out of ur food, Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will also activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals. Do not go on fast or starvation diet.

Nothing other than water in between.

No special diet, call it by any name or program helps as one cannot adopt them on permanent basis. Diet pills are chemicals and per se bad and shud be avoided unless the doc considers it necessary looking at ur condition.

Take light exercises and brisk walks for 30 min.regularly preferably on empty stomach and twice a day. Do not overdo.

U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time and hassle free.

Be patient and not in a hurry.

U cannot choose spots for reduction.

This schedule can be adopted on permanent basis to lead a healthy life and maintain weight.

i need weirght loss advice plez!!!?

01.04.09

my moms over 400lbs and she has a bad back from a slipt disk and fibro as well as several other medical problems that keep her from working. she cant exerso\ize tell she gets back sergery which she cant do that until she losses weight. so i need to know healt and safe ways of useing diet pills or anything no herbal life cause she is allergic to that. im really worried becouse shes really depressed. also plez no mean commentas only comments that will be helpful. plez hurry and thankyou.
ok the only prob w/ exercise right now is that she has a slipt disk so she cant walk too much and also she has fibro so shes always in pain and too much movement will cause her to flare

Have her try the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet. She can lose weight fast and healthy. She will only be eating real foods too, so it's better than diet pills or other unhealthy options.

She won't have to figure out what to eat. All she has to do is choose her favorite foods from a list of foods, and Fat Loss 4 Idiots "diet generator" will create a menu for her.

This diet revolves around "calorie-shifting". By eating certain foods in certain cycles, you can shock your metabolism and keep it revved in high gear. This means you will burn more calories and fat and lose weight continuously.

I hope everything works out for her!

Chinese Herb Stores?

01.02.09

there is a chinese herb store not too far from my house. i was wondering your thoughts on the products they sell. i was browsing the other day and i saw they have herbal pills, herbs, teas for everything such as digestion, weight loss and many other problems that i would like to solve. please advise if the stores are worth a try and if the herbs might be good with no side effects.

Sounds fine. If you are looking for herbal pills/tablets, they are generally safe and just make sure that the brand you purchase is from a reputable company and there is no added drugs inside and they test for heavy metals, bacteria etc. For example good Chinese herbal companies can be found here: http://www.holisticchineseherbs.com

If you are looking for a custom made herbal formula, it would be best to have one made for you by a certified/licensed herbalist.
