The 17 Day Diet - Day 4 - Accelerated Cycle

Some readers have written asking exactly what’s on the 17 Day Diet.  As I told Peggy in the comments section on my previous days blog posts, it’s not “my book” or “my diet” and I don’t profit in any way from either.  (In other words Dr. Moreno is not my brother, husband, doctor or even a long lost cousin and I’m not his book publisher or agent!)

What I can do is tell you how I’m doing on the diet, what my journey is and what I personally feel the pros and cons of the diet are.   I can’t give you the exact information found in the book but I can give you an overview so you can see if this might be the healthy weight loss program for you. Today I thought I would share with you a bit more about the accelerated cycle.  Please do read this to learn more and post comments at the end of this post or in the forum here.

The diet starts with a 7 to 17-day cycle (Depending on how much weight you have to lose, see next paragraph, that’s designed to initiate rapid weight loss in a healthy way. This cycle also helps correct poor digestion and clears your body of possible toxins. Dr. Moreno says that improper digestion and a build-up of toxins can hold your body back from fat-burning so for rapid, sustained weight loss, both situations need to be corrected.

As directed in the book if you 10 pounds or less to lose you should spend 7 days on this cycle; 10 days if you have 20 pounds to lose, or 17 days if you have more than 30 pounds to lose - many people can expect to lose as much as 7 pounds the first week.

On the first cycle, the Accelerated Cycle, you can eat as much as you want of lean proteins (chicken, fish, turkey or eggs) and cleansing vegetables (listed in the book).

Supplement these foods with 2 fibrous fruits daily (listed in the book)

2 servings of probiotic foods such as yogurt, kefir, Yakult, acidophilus milk, reduced salt miso dissolved in low-fat, low-sodium broth, sauerkraut (1/2 cup a serving)

1 serving of friendly fat (listed in the book)

You don’t have to count anything, except your 2 fruit daily servings, your 2 daily probiotic servings, and your 1 friendly fat serving.  That’s it!

 Breakfast

2 eggs or 4 egg whites, (or any lean protein) prepared without oil; or 1 serving probiotic food such as yogurt1 fruit serving1 cup green tea

Lunch

Liberal amounts of protein in the form of fish, poultry, or eggs; or cleansing vegetables + 1 probiotic servingUnlimited amounts of cleansing vegetables

Dinner

Liberal amounts of protein in the form of fish or chickenUnlimited amounts of cleansing vegetables

Snacks

2nd fruit serving2nd probiotic serving

Additional

1 serving (1 to 2 tablespoons of friendly fat to use on salads, vegetables, or for cooking)

Not to confuse you more BUT there is a lot of confusion over the yogurt and left to interpretation. One reader says: 
"When I read the yogurt part, it plainly states any type. He then lists all the types afterwards. He separates sugar free and fat-free with a “;”…meaning either. Not both or it would be separated with ‘and’ or a comma. Or at least, that’s the way I take it, for certain. But who knows. I could be wrong." 
That said others say: The book says fat free, plain yogurt with fresh fruit, sugar free jam or jelly and Truvia (sweetener) mixed in. 
So, now what? I personally use the plain non fat Greek yogurt (more protein in it) and mix it with fresh berries and Truvia. The thing I would watch out for is Yoplait for instance, which I love, their 98% fat free has a LOT of sugar in it. And you're trying to avoid sugar. I would stick with the plain and fruit if you can. Remember it's not the actual calories as much as the sugar content you have to watch out for. 
You can have the yogurt in the evening BUT not the fruit. So if your yogurt has fruit in it you should avoid it in the evening. 
And yes, free veggies and protein any time of day!  
Hope that helps!10. question about yogurt
Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 08-01-2011 22:52
Can the yogurt be low fat (Dannon 80 calorie) or does it need to be sugar free? It's not very clear in the book. Also, can you have your yogurt as a snack in the evening? Also, can you munch on the "free veggies" after dinner? Thanks!11. Well Julie

That has to be a record! Now you may stabalize some but that's okay. Some say they those 4 or 5 lbs in the first few days only to gain a pound or two back but I think if you're losing 2-4 lbs a week, on average, you're doing GREAT and you are ahead of the curve. Just make sure you're eating enough!12. Written by Julie, on 07-01-2011 12:30

You might try sparkling water with lemon or lime and Truvia mixed in. Sodas aren't totally taboo - they are considered "negative waters" so if you balance out with an extra glass of water I think you'd be okay. I'd keep it to a minimum though. I have one every day or two! Diet of course.16. Hi Lee

The Mommy Diet - Alison Sweeney Weight Loss

The Mommy Diet is an interesting new book written by Alison Sweeney based on her own weight loss personal experiences.  Fans of soap operas will likely recognize her from her long role on Days of Our Lives, but few people know that she is a mother of two children from the hot look that she still maintains.  In the book, readers will learn exactly how she was able to make that happen. Continue reading our reviews of The Mommy Diet to learn more.

Readers who read this also enjoy these articles:

If there is one thing that really sets this book apart from many of the other fitness books that have been written for new mothers that would like to lose their pregnancy weight, it would have to be the fact that this book is based on experience.  Too many books these days are written by people professing to be experts without any real expertise on their areas of writing.  Sweeney has been through it twice successfully and it is her expertise born of experience that more than anything else will drag you through the challenges to your final success.  You know that it can work and that is a powerful motivator to help you keep it going.

Most new mothers have a few priorities higher on their list than getting back in shape.  Taking care of their new baby might be a good example of something along those lines.  The Mommy Diet is a no-nonsense approach to getting that fitness level back after pregnancy and it is done in a way that will not take away from a mother’s ability to care for her children.

There are ways for you to create a healthier diet quickly by correcting a few common mistakes made in kitchen cooking and also by being smart with the time that you have.  Efficiency is an important point throughout the book, even in terms of exercising and once you learn to be as efficient as Alison has been, you’ll have no problems regaining that gorgeous look that she has after the pregnancy period has passed.

In terms of the actual content of the book, starting with a trimester-by-trimester breakdown of the pregnancy and ending with the journey through weight loss, there is not that much new being offered.  A lot of the information is available from other sources, but Sweeney is able to put it together masterfully in this book.  Not only is her writing clear and easy to understand, but the details that she covers shows beyond the shadow of a doubt that this is coming from the mind of a woman that has been through this struggle before and come out on top.

More so than just a simple dieting plan, The Mommy Diet is a common sense approach to pregnancy and postpartum fitness.  It will show you how to limit the damage during pregnancy and how to get back to normal as quickly and easily as possible after.

The Ultimate Top 10 Fat Burners

There are many ways to rank/rate a fat burner, from price to a multi-criteria analysis of what makes them good.  Ranking the best fat burners by popularity is also a valid method of doing things since in the online free market, products that are more effective over the long term are going to end up being sold the most.  With that in mind, here are the ultimate top 10 fat burning supplements available online today that we found, we removed the gimmicks for you and leave only the fat burner pills that work. As with all products reviewed on this site, we recommend you seek the advice of your doctor first.We Research Customer Reviews, Scientific Studies and Ingredient Quality.We Compare Prices, Effectiveness, and Ingredient Lists.We Recommend the Fat Burning Supplements with Highest Ratings.

Best Fat Burners QuickLinks: #1. Lipofuze : #2. Phentemine375 : #3. Boda Extract : #4. AcaiPure : #5. Proactol

Recognized as the Top Fat Burner on the market, LipoFuze has been on every major reviewer’s radar as the weight loss industry’s Most Powerful Weight Loss Supplement.

It's impressive list of ingredients are backed by an equally impressive number of loyal customers. In fact, more than 91% of LipoFuze customers order a second month’s supply.

Our research has shown that what keeps customers wanting more is what makes LipoFuze so unique from all other diet pills: Long Term Weight Loss Results!

This is vital to your weight loss efforts because NOT ALL WEIGHT is created equally! Most diet pills produce weight loss results in the form of water weight and muscle mass. This not only is harmful for your health, but this act can actually work against your weight loss efforts often leading to regain the “lost” weight. LipoFuze users on average have experienced 10.7 pounds of weight loss in 7 days.

The LipoFuze DIFFERENCE is that most users have been actually been able to keep that weight off forever!

Phentemine375 is a new synthesized fat burning pills product developed in accordance with FDA regulations, within a FDA approved lab under advice from their own scientists.

I decided to try the product myself and as I found out after the first 30 day cycle finished the results were truly amazing (see my personal picture below) and is our strongest fat burner.

When I first started my research of phen375 I was a bit skeptical so the company offered to send me 60 diet tablets to try for myself. My weight when I started taking the product was 234lbs and after 30 days I am only 213 pounds. That is an amazing 5 pounds per week and is not just a fat burner for men. The phen375 website says 3 to 5 pounds per week so I was within their reported averages and my picture is pretty much proof of that.

This is a great fat burner for women or men.

What I was in complete shock of was I promised myself I wouldn't change my diet, which is fairly healthy, but I enjoy a good pizza and beer at least once a week like many people and I still lose 21 pounds! I exercised three times a week so I am not a complete couch potato. My profession has me sitting at a desk 8-10 hours a day, plus my 3 hours daily of commuting, I just don't have time to get a lot of physical activity. That is what made this product a winner in my book as the top synthetic fat burner.

So what is Phentemine375?

Phen375 is a non prescription phentermine replacement that is so much safer than phentermine adipex!

The new greatly improved formula is providing powerful synthesized hormones and compounds that decrease the body's ability to store fat and increase the body's ability to burn stored fat reserves, along with appetite suppressing aids, increased energy levels, and faster metabolisms. Phentemine375 uses a combination of cyclic AMP enzyme boosters such as 1,3-Dimethypentylamine Hydrochloride, 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine, and a Sympathomimetic Amine, Dehydroepiandrosterone, l-carnitine to get the job done. These compounds go to work instantly to burn away large amounts of body fat.

Boda Extract is at the top of our list of best fat burners for two very simple reasons.

1. Clinically Proven Results

Volunteers received BODA Extract No. 3 or placebo for 3 months, and were asked not to make any changes in their diet or lifestyle during the study. The BODA group had a significant reduction in body fat compared to the placebo group: 20.2%

2. FDA Approved

BODA Extract No. 3 is FDA approved for two functional claims: you will lose body fat and build lean muscle mass.

As with all our reviews we still want to understand more, so the questions we wanted answered and so do you before you try anything we have done for you!

What is BODA Extract No. 3? - Extract No. 3 contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid that is recognized for its role in promoting good health.

WebMD lists the main ingredient in Boda Extract (CLA) as a proven weight loss supplement. Click here to read.

How is BODA Extract No. 3 made? - Extract No. 3 is made from a proprietary process that converts linoleic acid from safflowers into conjugated linoleic acid. Safflower is the best source of linoleic acid. Does BODA Extract No 3 contain ephedra? - BODA Extract No. 3 does not contain any natural or artificial ephedra. BODA Extract No. 3 is derived from safflower oil, which is a natural 100% lipid product. How does BODA Extract No. 3 work in my body? - BODA Extract No. 3 works in four parts of our bodies: Adipocytes, Triglycirides, Apoptosis, and CPT. Adipocytes are fat cells where 90% of body fat is. Extract No. 3 decreases the number and size of adipocytes. Triglycerides are fats. Most of the fat in our food and bodies comes in the form of triglycerides. Studies show that conjugated linoleic acid decreases LPL activity, so less fat gets stored overall. Apoptosis is a process. It’s how our bodies cause fat cells to disintegrate. Extract No. 3 increaase the rate at which fat cells disintegrate. CPT (carnitine palmitoyltransferase) is another enzyme used for energy. Studies show that CLA increases this process so fat is burned faster! We checked out BODA and they have a flawless Better Business Bureau (BBB) and great rating. They have a free trial offer for their product and we recommend you try it for yourself.

What is AcaiPure? Well, you may have seen it on AOL.com. Or perhaps you’ve heard about it on CNN’s website, or from countless articles.

Believe me, if you want to get healthy and , increase your energy and get back into your favorite jeans, this weight loss secret from Brazil is the way to do it:

Without starvation Without impossible diets Without low energy Without gadgets or joining expensive "programs". Without leaving the privacy of your home.

But the true power of AcaiPure comes from its clinically proven ingredients (Garcinia cambogia extract, chromium polyniconate and Gymnema sylvestre extract). We recommend you do a search on each ingredient to learn more.

Again, with all products certain questions must be answered.

Q. What makes AcaiPure different to everything else out there?

A. AcaiPure has two great answers to that.

1. The scientific research of the West: Two 8-week clinical studies were performed with the average weight loss being 14.99 and 12.54 pounds with key ingredients (Garcinia Cambogia Extract, Chromium Polyniconate and Gymnema Sylvestre extract) in AcaiPure versus only 3.06 and 3.53 pounds for the placebo groups. Both of these groups did diet and exercise but when combined with the key ingredients in AcaiPure 450% more weight loss occurred. This information taken from their website, visit for more details.

2. Acai Berry is an amazing antioxidant and another ingredient found in AcaiPure. Dr. Nicholas Perricon rated the Acai Berry the #1 superfood in the world on his daytime talk show.

Each of these ingredients discussed is extremely healthy and powerful for weight loss but when combined together it makes AcaiPure one of our strongest fat burners and why it is on our best of list.

Q. Has anyone else made a product like this?

A. Not that we have been able to find. We have other great fat burning products on our list (and hope you read those) because no single product works for 100% of the people and why we recommend you take advantage of this free trial and the others on this list to find the one right for you!

Q. Does AcaiPure offer a money back guarantee if not 100% satisified?

A. YES! Not only do they offer the free trial but when you continue using the product (and you will) if you become unhappy with the product you get a 60 day money back 100% full merchandise refund, simply return the unused portions.

So what are you waiting for? It's a free trial and go for it!

What is Proactol™?

Proactol's main ingredient comes from the cactus Optunia ficus-indica and this is a one hundred percent organically grown natural fat binder that has been clinically proven to*:

There are no known side effects and this fat burner has been in business for many years and can help ensure that your weight loss journey is one filled with joy, happiness and increased well being..

 

Liposom is one of the top fat burners and it has earned that privilege in our review process because of it's unique approach to burn fat while you sleep, read on to learn how that works. Liposom is a proprietary blend of pesticide free plants and nutrients. The question we had to have answered and tried by our staff was what are the main ingredients in Liposom that will help burn fat and lose weight? We have this covered and here is what we found that makes this product a winner:

MIC B12 Formula : It is clinically proven that MIC B12 helps lose weight as discussed in Dietary Supplements and Weight Control in a Middle-Age Population in the Journal of Alternative Complement Medicine October 2005; 11(5) pages 909-915. Green Tea : This is another ingredient that burns fat as talked about in this WebMD article. Need another healthy reason to drink green tea? Aside from fighting heart disease, cancer, and other diseases, a new study shows that drinking green tea may also fight fat. Gymnema Leaf : This wonderful plant leaf eliminates the taste of sugar which in essence suppresses and neutralizes your craving for sweets to help you lose weight faster! It also helps control your blood sugar levels which is known from many diets such as Atkins, South Beach, etc.. to help lose weight. Proper blood sugar levels are essential. Yerba Mate Leaf : is a widely-cultivated, medium-sized evergreen tree that can grow to 20 m high in the wild. It is used as a tonic and diuretic to flush your system of toxins. It also acts as a stimulant to burn more calories and suppress appetite. Read more on this wonderful tree here. Guarana Seed : Stimulates your central nervous system, improves your mood and increases your metabolism and more. Wikipedia has more information on Guarana here. Nopal Cactus : is another great plant that supports a healthy glucose balance, aids your body in energy production and sugar balance, all essential to losing weight. Read more on wikipedia here. Lipo 6 is a weight loss supplement that can be described as one of the best-kept secrets within the online marketplace.  This particular supplement which has an ingredients list that is completely free of any ephedra or derivative ingredients, is a power-packed list of different ingredients that can act as stimulants in order to help you lose a lot of weight.  In other words, this is not really a direct fat burning product, but rather one that can help you accelerate the results of whatever diet or exercise regime you might be on at the moment.  People that take this in conjunction with diet and exercise will find that their results are magnified quite a bit more than most products that are direct fat burners and for that reason this product has developed quite a popular following online.
Xenadrine Hardcore Fat Burner has reinvented itself by removing ephedrine from it's ingredient list. Xenadrine has moved up the ranks of the best fat burners rapidly since their new product line and with the product helping with fat burning, energy increase and appetite suppression provides a powerful formula to rapidly losing weight safely. One should never underestimate the effectiveness of the easy solution at any point in life and within the context of green tea for fat burning and weight loss , this is especially true.  The body has a way of returning to its normal intervals through a number of processes that are designed to work against excess and this is just as true for weight gain as it would be for something like getting a fever or having hypothermia.  People that are overweight that start to inject even a little bit of exercise and dietary change into their lives will see results because of these processes and even the use of a simple supplement such as a green tea pill could accentuate those results in a way that is extremely effective.  A 500 mg capsule of green tea gives you far more than you need on a daily basis to get some fat burning results and that is probably why the 500 mg x 100 capsules green tea supplement has become one of the most popular online even in spite of the relatively simple way in which it does its work.
The Slim Quick Extreme product is really just for women in the sense that it is far more effective for the female gender than it is for the male gender.  That having been said, the main ingredient within this particular supplement is yohimbine which is a powerful weight loss ingredient in both genders.  Therefore, if a male wanted to take this particular supplement as part of their overall fat burning strategy, there would be nothing stopping them from doing it.  It is far more effective for the women however due to that desire on the part of the company and that is why it is recommended mostly for women.  The combination of the yohimbine-led formula for excellent fat burning and the utilization of the natural 8-hour half-life of the yohimbine molecule for long term effects throughout the day make this product doubly effective and its online popularity is a direct reflection of that effectiveness.
Lipodrene is a product that can really only be looked at in the context of a multi-pronged attack on fat.  There are some direct fat burning attributes within the ingredients utilized in this particular weight loss supplement, but at the same time there are also three indirect fat burning attributes.  The first of these is the ability of Lipodrene to help prevent the absorption of additional fat in the same way that some of the above mentioned products also do.  In addition to that however, Lipodrene increases the amount of stored energy a person has, making them far more likely to actually adhere to a regimen of exercise that they set. This is especially important in the context of fat burning as any weight loss supplement will work a lot better if it is combined with daily exercise.  Lipodrene is therefore essentially a jack of all trades when it comes to the fat burning agenda.

At some point, someone is going to have to write a paper detailing all of the seemingly random numbers that appear in the names of the various weight loss supplements!  Despite the somewhat ill-placed 7 in the title of this supplement, Lean System 7 has quickly rocketed its way to the top of the popularity charts within the online fat burning market.  It has done this primarily by utilizing a similar technique to some of the other weight loss supplements, but making that technique far more focused and as a result more effective.  It is the technique of enzymatic fat burning that one or two of the other supplements on this list use, but the results seem to indicate that at least in the short term Lean System 7 has the advantage.  It is also cheaper than some of the other supplements, which definitely help the popularity along.
Fastin is a play on words.  Essentially, the company that created the product would like you to believe that you can get the same results that you would get through fasting through the use of the Fastin supplement.  Namely, ridiculously rapid loss of fat while at the same time cleansing your body of any toxins it might have gained through the diet that you currently have.  While it is a bit farfetched to think that any weight loss supplement could match the actual act of not taking in any additional fat, it is possible nonetheless to get some decent results through the use of Fastin and an exercise program that compliments it.  For this reason, Fastin remains one of the more popular fat burners around.
BioLean II is one of the major products responsible for the idea going around the internet now that you can burn fat at an increased pace while you sleep by inducing a higher resting metabolic rate. While there is some truth to this, what really makes Bio Lean II effective is the fact that in addition to this resting metabolic rate increase, it also decreases appetite and as a result allows people to lower their fat intake simultaneous to the extra burning processes that are at work when you rest.  Its most popular days are probably behind it, but it is still a force to be reckoned with as is evident by its placement in the top ten.

Alli is a very good diet pill and thus on our runner up list of the ultimate top ten.  It is not enough to simply be popular and effective, but Alli has gotten to that position through conventional methods.  With FDA approval, over-the-counter availability and a method of binding to enzymes that in turn prevent the absorption of fat, Alli is one of the safest supplements out there that is also combined with a high level of effectiveness.  It is simply an excellent product.

 
The NO Xplode product is one of the most popular supplements on the market today and this is for a very good reason.  Most importantly perhaps in regards to the popularity issue, this product has been lucky enough to have a number of early customers go on and experience some amazing results through the use of this supplement and for that reason they have a number of sincere and glowing testimonials that really outpace anything many of the other companies offer.  The main reason that people can experience big gains on this product has to do with a system they've dubbed NO meta-fusion.  In essence, this system encourages biological focus on vascular enlargement which leads to more stamina and easier development of muscles.  The end result is excellent fat burning quotas combined with very few side effects.
Hydroxycut bills itself as being the number one fat burning company within the marketplace today and this hardcore version of their flagship product is billed as being "the most powerful fat burner ever created".  Well, one of the red flags in the online fat burner business has to do with suspecting anyone that touts their own horn, but in this particular case that rule is nullified by the results that this supplement is able to present to support their assertions.  With case study averages such as high single-digit decreases in body fat, massive increases in norepinephrine levels within the body and a liquid delivery method that allows all of the results to take place quickly, Hydroxycut is most definitely loaded for bear. See full Hydroxycut review .
These are just the best of the hundreds of different fat burners available on the market today.  It is a diverse community of products with varying amounts of popularity and effectiveness.  However, the above list should gives a variety of different approaches that diet pills on the market today, as no one pill works for every single person. Sometimes it will take a bit of trial and error to find the best product for your body.

1. Oxy Pro Elite
Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 29-11-2010 01:50
I am on my 2nd bottle of OxyPro Elite, following a 8 week break. I am retired from the U.S.Navy where I served as a SAR (sea air rescue swimmer). After being critcally shot and nearly a year to recover I gained approx 100 lbs topping the scales at 250 lbs and at 5'11" that was a bit much. Within the first bottle I had results that took me down to 208 with little exercise and not much of an appetite. I am just begining my 2nd bottle and plan to reach my ideal weight of 175 lbs. I have more energy with no noted side effects. Thank you OxyPro.2. Best Fat Burners

Stay AWAY from Alli.. its been shown to cause CANCEROUS Colon Polyps in Rats, yet the FDA put it out for the public anyway.

I decided to try Lipofuze since it was listed as #1 fat burner here. I did their two bottles plus 1 detox bottle and I lost 20 pounds in the first month. I did exercise more than I was before going from maybe once a week to 3 30 minute workouts and I did not eat junk food. But before when I did not eat junk food I still ate a lot but not with Lipofuze. I was able to just not eat as much and it was wonderful for me.5. Miss

I added in Acai Ignite and I am now losing three pounds a day with Boda Extract and Acai Ignite taken daily! I am so happy! I have dropped two sizes already in just a few short weeks! If only I had known about this before, thank you!20. Written by gman, on 15-03-2009 12:55

Jane Fonda Prime Time Workout Reviews

The Jane Fonda Prime Time Workout DVD consists of 2 workouts that are categorized into level 1 and level 2.  They are both approximately 25 minutes long to prevent putting too much stress on the body.  The workouts use weights to tone and sustain muscles mass while you burn fat.  This workout DVD covers all of the major muscle groups.

The Jane Fonda Prime Time Workout DVD is targeted to Baby Boomers and seniors.  However, even young people who are not in shape or are not in the mood to have a strenuous workout can benefit from this DVD.  Others who can benefit:

People who are sickPeople who have injuriesPeople who give birthPeople who get off track of their regular exercise programPeople who have let themselves goPeople who are overweight

Therefore, while it was designed for seniors in mind, the Jane Fonda Prime Time Workout DVD can definitely help others no matter what age.  Not everyone has the ability to do kick boxing, advanced aerobics, or high impact exercises.  This is an excellent DVD that you can fall back on when your body isn’t cooperating with what you want to be doing.

If you are a senior, you may be experiencing common ailments that happen with age.  Some of these include, but are not limited to: osteoporosis, high blood pressure, stiff joints, sagging skin, aging skin, muscle degeneration, etc.  Some ailments are more severe than others.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to get up and get moving.  This workout program is perfect for seniors because it takes into consideration the above ailments while hoping to help you avoid or reduce symptoms.

Does this DVD workout program meet the expectations of users?  The majority of users have given this workout program a high rating.  They enjoy the walking workout because it is not too long.  The weight workout uses low poundage, but you can increase the weights if you wish.

While many users do like the weight and walking program, if you are into hard core exercising, this may not be the program for you.  It is more of an easy going type of exercising that is designed to get your muscles moving without strain or stress.

Users who have limited mobility or health issues have found the workout routine easy to do.  People who have had back problems were able to do the routine because it is simple, slow, and steady.

Users really like the fact that there is not a workout session.  Many people like this personal “attention”, even if it is only a DVD.  It is just you and Jane Fonda as she encourages and motivates you to keep moving.

Users also feel there is a good balance with the exercises.  The routine is set up where there are just enough reps that will not make them tedious or tiresome.  It is not overpowering.  It is also good for people who simply hate to exercise.  According to users, the Jane Fonda Prime Time Workout DVD is just the right speed and amount of time for movement, stretching, and balancing.

Unique Hoodia Reviews

Hoodia Gordonii is a very popular weight loss ingredient from South Africa. It is used by many tribes who go out hunting for days as this helps them suppress their appetite without decreasing energy. This ingredient found its way in the west and has become a staple for most weight loss and fat burning products.

Unique Hoodia is another weight loss product that tries to join the bandwagon that patronizes the plant from South Africa. The product’s entrance to the weight loss industry can be considered late because a lot of products have already featured Hoodia Gordonii. Some of them have produced results while others are simply scam. Because of this perception, many consumers might think Unique Hoodia is just another company who wanted to exploit the popular of the weight loss ingredient.

But even though Unique Hoodia is not a pioneer in the industry, it will make some impact because of its formula. Every capsule of the weight loss product contains 495mg of powdered Hoodia. The product does not contain the extract but the real Hoodia Gordonii. This is the closest consumers will get to the real herbal plant from South Africa.

New for 2011 Unique Hoodia still offers the purest Hoodia available (a whopping 495mg per pill) however UniqueHoodia now also contains a 5mg dosage of Bioperine – an ingredient that makes UniqueHoodia 30% more effective!

Each serving of UniqueHoodia now contains a total of 1485mg of pure Hoodia and 15mg of Bioperine.

Information on Bioperin:

Is a standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (black pepper) or Piper longum L (long pepper). Contains 95 percent of piperine. May be co-administered with various nutrients for both human and animal health. Is Nature's Bioavailability Enhancing Thermonutrient.

According to the manufacturer’s official website, they were able to obtain a huge amount of Hoodia Gordonii because they do not go through another company to purchase the weight loss ingredient. The company deals directly with the farmers that grow this plant in South Africa. This fact really places the manufacturer in a unique position because they don’t have to deal with other companies that sell the ingredient in the market.

Readers who read this article often enjoy reading these:

Although Unique Hoodia is proud of its main ingredient, the question still lingers about the efficiency of Hoodia as a weight loss product. Is this a Unique Hoodia scam? Unfortunately, Hoodia has received a lot of hype in the past years that some even call it a miracle ingredient because it will help people lose weight while gaining energy. Because of the hype, many people are disappointed with the result. This happened because Hoodia Gordonii is just a few milligrams in extract. 

Now that Unique Hoodia features pure Hoodia Gordonii, will it have better effect to the body in terms of weight loss? The verdict is still not certain but this doesn’t mean it’s a dangerous product. The product comes with an FDA certification which means it is safe for intake. Many consumers read unique hoodia customer reviews about the product with high concentration of Hoodia but the results are also mixed.

Upset Stomach? - Some weight loss forums, including here on Weightloss HQ discuss Hoodia having the side effect of causing upset stomach.  This hasn't been shown in any clinical studies we could find but it is possible that some people will experience upset stomachs.Liver Stress? - Pfizer discovered that P57, the main active ingredient in Hoodia, is easily broken down by the liver.  However, anyone with any type of liver condition should discuss with their doctor before using Hoodia.  This is really true regardless of your condition just to be safe.Diabetics? - If you are a diabetic you should not take Hoodia as this could effect your blood sure levels.

Unlike many products Unique Hoodia is 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii.  Look at the ingredient list here and then look at others who claim they are.  They have hidden extras added.  Unique Hoodia stands behind their clinical trials, CITES certificate and backing from the CGMP.  They have also been nationally recognized by the BBC, CBS, and Hello magazine.CITES certificate and backing from the CGMP, to being nationally recognised by the BBC, CBS and Hello magazine

The hype about Hoodia Gordonii should not be easily dismissed. After all, people will not talk about it if it’s just a scam. Unique Hoodia tries to prove once and for all that the ingredient certainly can help people lose weight. Because of its unique concentration, this product is worth trying. After all, the manufacturer offers a 60-day money back guarantee in case the product will not work as expected. It’s a bit expensive ($55 per bottle) but it’s a product worth trying because it’s unique formulation for weight loss.

Final note: don’t expect a lot from the product in the first few days. Although some have declared that they have felt the products effects (diet suppression) after 30 of intake, some will only experience its efficiency after a few days.

Stability Ball Exercises - Fun and Effective

Stability ball exercises are not only designed to help tone and strengthen your abdominal muscles and improve your flexibility, but specific stability ball exercises can actually help you burn fat and build muscles.

Stability ball exercises target your core, which are your abdominals and back.   They help to improve balance and coordination as they target specific muscle groups, like the legs and chest.  These stability ball core exercises will force your body to use the smaller stabilizer muscles, as the larger muscle groups are targeted.

Related posts you may enjoy:

You should follow us on twitter.

Investing in the right stability ball is critical if the stability ball exercises are to be effective.  A stability ball is selected based on your height.   A quick way to judge if the ball is right for you is to sit on the top of the ball.  You should be able to sit on top of the ball with your knees and hips at a 90 degree angle.

Balls that are firmer actually increase the intensity of a workout.  If you are a beginner, consider a softer ball.  If you are more advanced, you may want to purchase a firmer ball. 

The following are designed to help you burn fat, build muscles, strengthen your core, improve balance, and more.  If you choose to use weights with these stability ball exercises, then it is highly recommended that you use a spotter.   It is also advised that you contact a doctor before you try these stability ball exercises or before beginning any exercise routine. 

Begin by putting the ball behind you.  Put your leg on the ball with your shin on top of the ball.  Your front leg should be as far out in front of your back leg as possible without losing balance.  Be sure your front foot is flat on the floor. Lower yourself by bending your front leg slowly until the top of your leg is parallel to the floor.  Keep your back leg firmly on the ball without moving.  Return to the starting position.  Do as many as you can handle.  Then switch legs.Do not allow your knee to extend past your toes to help minimize the risk of injury.Lie on your back and face the ceiling.  Stretch your arms above your head with the ball in your hands.  Allow the ball to rest on the floor. Using your abs to control your motion, do a sit-up while keeping your arms straight.  While you are doing the sit-up, raise your legs.  Your arms and legs should come together at this point so you can pass the ball from your hands to your feet.  Lie back down to your original position; however, the ball should be at your feet. Keep doing this, except the next time you will pass the ball from your feet to your hands.  Keep switching with each repetition.During this entire exercise, always keep your head up and your eyes facing forward.  Put the ball against the wall.  While standing upright, lean your back against the ball.  Position your feet slightly out in front of you about shoulder width apart. Begin to lower yourself with a controlled motion until the top of your thighs are parallel to the floor.  Return to a standing position slowly by pressing your feet into the floor and pushing your body up. To increase intensity, hold dumbbells in each hand.  This extra weight will help you build muscle and burn more fat. Squat down and lie back so the upper part of your back is on the exercise ball.  Hold dumbbells at the top of your chest. Extend your arms towards the ceiling directly above your chest.   Come back down to the original position and repeat. Sit on the ball.  Hold dumbbells next to your ears with your palms facing away from your ears. Press the weights toward the ceiling, while keeping your hands and elbows aligned.  The weights will come together.  Then return the starting position.

These are just a few stability ball exercises you can do to improve your health, while also having some fun.

EA Sports Active NFL Training Camp Review

Active NFL Training Camp is the newest game under the EA Sports banner, this time for the Wii platform made by Nintendo.  This is a game that purports to give the user the full range of activities from an NFL training camp, allowing the user to simultaneously see what life is really like at training camp while also getting the chance to get in shape in the same way that the professionals do, albeit in a virtual setting with limits on intensity versus the real thing.  Read our reviews to learn more.

You may also enjoy reading wii fit having fun while losing weight.

In an overall sense, the two main strengths of this Wii game can be reduced down into the two categories of quantity and packaging.

The quantity aspect comes into play through the startling number of different exercises and routines that are available to a player on the Wii.  In total, when you add up all of the different drills and challenges for drills that can be played, there are nearly 75 different activities that the user can go through.  This is much more than most of the fitness programs that have been released for the Wii to date and that is definitely something that many people that have purchased some of those programs can point at as being a positive point for this console game.

Packaging is another important aspect to NFL Training Camp by EA Sports because the exercises that you are doing with this game are not really that different from most of the other exercises released for other Wii titles.  However, the packaging is different and because of that it will likely be attractive to a wide range of people that have not really been interested in this industry to date.

Lots of people love football and the idea of being able to enter a virtual training camp, using wireless motion sensing devices and a mobile heart rate monitor while seeing the drills of a football camp on screen is an idea that is attractive to a lot of people.  It is an idea that should be attractive because EA Sports has gone to great lengths and consulted with many of the experts in NFL level training in order to create as realistic a simulation as is possible given the boundaries and limitations of the hardware on the Wii.

The bottom line with NFL Training Camp by EA Sports is that it is more about the packaging and the sheer number of things that you can do with this program than it is about innovative new exercises.  That is not necessarily a bad thing.  If you can enhance your strength by pushing against blocking dummies with the same exercise that you find boring when it is done with virtual weights in a fitness club, it makes sense for you to purchase this game.  It is all about what works for an individual user.  EA Sports understands this and that is why they have created a convincing package of football training camp to get many people interested in Wii fitness titles that might otherwise ignore this genre of gaming entirely.
