Best Appetite Suppressant

Fiber Supplements and Weight Loss

I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure and my doctor told me I needed to lose 20 pounds. I tried just cutting back on calories but I was always so hungry. I actually ended up eating more than I normally would because I let myself get too hungry. A friend of mine told me about the Atkin’s Diet and I did have some success with that. I actually lost about 8 pounds in the first six weeks. Then I just stayed the same weight for several weeks. I was frustrated that the weight loss was so much slower. I have to say I was more satisfied eating a high protein/low carb diet but I didn’t feel like I could cut back much more on my portions to lose weight a bit faster.

Sugar Substitutes – New and Old

Safe Sugar Substitutes

Found this really good update on sugar substitutes in Parade Magazine. Here is a summary of the important information:

The old sugar substitutes are saccharin, aspartame, and sucralose. The Center for Science in the Public Interest – a health advocacy group- disagrees about saccharin and aspartame, citing studies that indicate those sweeteners increase the risk of cancers, and advises people to choose sucralose. The author of the article Joy Bauer (author of “Joy’s LIFE Diet:Four Steps to Thin Forever”) says she doesn’t think it matters which product you consume as long as you don’t consume more than two artificially sweetened items a day. Or she says you could stop using artificial sweeteners and use one of the natural sugar substitutes.

Healthy Weight Loss Tips

Free Weight Loss Tips

Do you crave sweets in the late afternoon? If you chew either sweetened or sugar-free gum after lunch you will feel full longer, eat fewer snacks and have fewer hunger pangs and fewer craving for sweets than people who don’t chew gum. The theory is when you eat your taste buds are stimulated by food. The more food you eat, the less you notice how good it tastes, signaling your brain that you’re full. Chewing gum may have the same effect – and without the calories.
