Tyler, Texas Diet Pills for Weight Loss

July 22nd, 2010

diet pills tyler txFor some in Tyler, Texas, the aid of a diet pill can be invaluable for kick starting weight loss.  Many diet pills are available as a prescription through your Tyler, Texas health care practitioner.  While all drugs come with risks, prescription grade diet pills are regulated by the FDA and the dosages are carefully measured.  Additionally, your progress will be closely monitored by your doctor, so any adverse effects can be dealt with in a timely manner.

When it comes to over the counter diet aids in Tyler, Texas, however, it’s pretty much luck of the draw.  These products are not FDA regulated and people can get into a lot of trouble using them.  Ingredients in these pills vary both in type and amounts, even from pill to pill in the same bottle.  What’s worse is that long term use can result in dependency on the pill to feel “normal” and continue losing weight.

For those that are truly obese or have tried every traditional method of weight loss with little success, diet pills can be just the thing to get them over the hump and on the road to substantial weight loss.  Blindly ingesting any drug, however, could prove unhealthy and even fatal.  If you have come to the conclusion that you will not be able to lose weight without the aid of a diet pill, talk to your Tyler, Texas doctor to see what he or she recommends.  Your doctor has your best intentions at heart, not the weight loss industry.

Consider a group exercise class at a local Tyler Texas gym as an alternative to diet pills: Visit the Tony Cruz XTC Fitness & Sports location: Map Website Blog

Surgical weight loss options in Tyler, Texas

July 21st, 2010

For those who are morbidly obese, or at least 100 pounds overweight, bariatric surgery can be an appropriate course of action.  Sometimes it may be the only course of action possible.  There are several different types of bariatric surgery, so speaking with a Tyler, Texas specialist is the best place to start.  Keep in mind however, that there are disadvantages that come with this type of surgery.

Most insurance companies see bariatric surgery as an elective procedure and getting them to pay for the surgery can be next to impossible.  You will need a liaison that has experience dealing with the insurance companies, and even then nothing is guaranteed. This type of surgery is very expensive, and paying out of pocket is simply not feasible for most people.  Finances can be the biggest barrier between you and your bariatric surgery.

If you can prove to your insurance company that the surgery is medically necessary and they give you the green light, you will still have challenges ahead of you.  Some surgeons require a period of counseling to be sure you are emotionally capable of dealing with the lifestyle changes required for this type of surgery.  You may also be required to try to lose a specific amount of weight naturally to prove your dedication or eliminate other health problems that may make surgery particularly dangerous.

If you are considering bariatric surgery in Tyler, Texas, talk to a doctor before making any decisions and be sure you understand everything that comes along with the procedure.

Weight Loss Scams in Tyler, Texas

July 19th, 2010

When most people realize it is time to lose some weight, they become frantic, almost desperate, to find a way to shed the pounds as quickly as possible.  Unfortunately, it is exactly this mind frame that allows so many scam artists to take advantage of people.  In general, any product or program that promises huge results in an unrealistically short time period are scams, and most often dangerous. 
[ad#HCG Call CJ]
Crash and fad diets in Tyler, Texas are the most common.  These programs will promise weight loss in excess of 15 pounds in only 7 days if you will follow a simple yet strict diet.  While you may lose weight initially, most of these diets provide dangerously low calorie intake and will be more detrimental in the long run.  Depriving your body of needed nutrients causes the body to go into starvation mode, storing fat, decreasing metabolism, and making it that much harder to lose meaningful weight later.  Avoid these diets like the plague!

Many people like to believe that there is a miracle pill that will allow them to lose weight without changing their lifestyle, and with the creative marketing of scammers it’s easy to understand why so many people believe it.  If you will look closely at diet pills and supplements, however, they will recommend you adopt a new diet and start exercising.  When people follow the program they believe it was the pill that gave the results, when in actuality it was their actions.  Save your money and use the diet and exercise alone for healthy, sustainable results.

Group kickboxing, yoga, spin, and zumba dance exercise classes are a great healthy way to lose weight fast and keep it off: Visit the Tony Cruz XTC Fitness & Sports location: Map Website Blog

Calorie Confusion For Weight Loss in Tyler, Texas

July 6th, 2010

One of the most effective ways to put your metabolism into high gear and shed the pounds is a recently discovered method called calorie confusion.  Essentially, calorie confusion means varying the amount of calories you take in from day to day.

Your body does not have time to get used to one thing, so your metabolism goes into overdrive.  Using calorie confusion is actually quite simple and effective on its own, but when combined with exercise can give outstanding results.

Each person’s caloric needs in Tyler, Texas will be unique, but for the sake of simplicity we will use a median calorie intake of 2,000.

The same principals will apply with any median calorie requirement though, so do a little research to see what your unique body needs.

For calorie confusion, start the first day by consuming 2,200 calories total.  If you are exercising as well, do your workouts on the days you consume the most calories.

On your off days, or the day after the high calorie intake, only consume 1,800 calories.

However many calories are required on any given day, make sure they come from healthy, well balanced foods.

That’s it! Alternate back and forth every day to keep your body confused.

Because you are not sustaining a low calorie intake, your body does not have time to go into starvation mode.

Because you are not sustaining a high calorie intake, your body does not have time to store fat.  Neat, right?

For a more managed approach using professional doctors and a staff we have seen a company on billboards in Tyler Texas called B Ki.

B Ki is a weight loss clinic in Tyler that uses a controversial strategy that is non-surgical.

Many people have lost quite a bit of weight using this method in short order.

Binging and Purging: Unhealthy Approach to Weight Loss in Tyler TX

July 6th, 2010

A binge refers to a time where food is consumed in excess to the point of being terribly uncomfortable.  Purging is forcibly removing this food from the body by means of induced vomiting or the use of laxatives.  Neither is a healthy approach to eating and could result in detrimental long term effects.  This practice can easily lead to the eating disorder bulimia.

The practice of binging and purging in Tyler, Texas often comes from the desire to be thin combined with an inability to control food cravings.  So a person will eat large volumes of unhealthy foods and afterwards begin to feel guilty or afraid of the consequences these foods will have on their weight and become desperate to avoid those consequences.  Many will rationalize this practice by believing it to be a great way to enjoy the taste of fattening foods without gaining weight.

There are so many risks involved with eating in this manner that it is hardly worth the superficial weight loss that comes with it.  You can easily become malnourished, which is the least of the potential side effects.  There is no way to have a healthy self image when you use unhealthy methods for weight loss, which means no matter how much you may lose you will still be unhappy with your size. A much more sensible approach is to limit the amount of fatty foods in your diet, eat small and regular portions, and add exercise to your daily routine.

As of late we have seen billboards advertising a new form of weight loss that as far as Tyler is concerned called B Ki. These clinics utilize a hormone researched studied about in the 50’s. Both male or female weight loss candidates can inject the female pregnancy hormone at regular intervals while maintaining a healthy diet.

I am not sure if injecting female hormones into your body is a healthy way to go but a doctor at B Ki will likely be able to fill you in on the negative health side effects if any. I would imagine this weight loss technique would be much safer then any type of surgical weight loss method in Tyler TX.
