In a previous article we’ve mentioned the possible side effects of both prescription diet pills and over the counter pills.

Most herbal weight loss supplements producers claim that their products are completely safe simply because they are entirely natural.

Unfortunately, not all herbals are safe for our health as there are many plants that if consumed even in the smallest quantities can cause serious health problems and even poisoning.

This doesn’t mean that all herbal weight loss supplements are poisonous but some of them can cause allergies and can interact with other types (more…)

Each January I think of the year that passed, what I did good, what I did wrong, and how can I make it better this year.

Losing weight is on my “things to improve” list in the last years.

I’m doing good most of the year, but when winter comes, the pounds start to add up, so losing weight is one of my new year’s resolutions (again). Maybe it’s on your list too and you still don’t know how to do it and from where to start losing weight.

U.S. News looks each year through scientific journals, reports, asks experts in food science and nutrition to make the best diets of the year rankings. The experts consider a top diet if it’s relatively easy to follow, nutritious (more…)

I must confess, I am not a big fan of the gym.

I don’t like to execute physical exercises indoors.

Furthermore, I do not like the fact that I have to follow a previously established routine.

I am eager to innovate and encounter innovation in everything I do and this applies into my daily workout as well.

So, I thought of alternative solutions and I found some. Believe it or not, we can also burn calories in rather surprising ways. Most of them do not even require us to get out of the house (though you should not make (more…)

I find it difficult to go to parties when I am on a diet.

Not that I don’t like them, because I love parties, but the temptations are high on these occasions.

We’ve already talked about how to avoid eating high calorie foods when we go out, but what can we do when we cannot choose the menu?

Turkey for Thanksgiving is a tradition that goes way back and we cannot ignore it.

Moreover, this is probably one of the healthiest dishes served on this occasion, so we must have it.

Many of us take a day off from our weight loss diet on Thanksgiving and enjoy a little bit of each of dishes on the table.

But what should we do with the leftovers?

Should we go back to our diet right the next day? No, this is not necessary. Thanksgiving turkey leftovers can be very healthy if eaten the right way.

What are the benefits of turkey meat?

Winter is my favourite season.

I love the magic atmosphere of Christmas, the squeaky sound of snow under my feet and all the delicious treats prepared with the festive occassion.

How would you feel if I told you there could be a drug to help you loose 11% of your body fat in the first month?

I would feel interested to hear more, but I would have doubts.

This drug is not yet available, but researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston recently  got to an important milestone for the drug they were testing since 2004.

They gave monkeys a drug, called adipotide, that targets the blood supply to fat cells and kills them.

After only 28 daily injections of the drug the monkeys lost an (more…)

We could all use from time to time someone to tell us that we are too lazy.

Even though we know that working out and moving in general is the best way to lose weight, we try to trick our routine or simply forget that this is not the time to spend countless hours in front of the computer.

So, a lazy alarm sounds just fantastic!

This is what the Muve companyfrom Minneapolis thought too when it created the Gruve Solution.

This is a device used as a weight management system. What it does is track how much energy you consume each moment. It is connected to an (more…)
