I Can Tell You Have Lost Weight!!

“I can tell you have lost weight, you have got some of your shape back”, was the comment from my partner this weekend.

Needless to say this boosted my confidence 100% and made me glad that I had made the decision to take Proactol and more importantly stick with it.

Over the past few weeks I have lost 7lbs in total as was hoping to make this weekend a good one. As I have previously said, this is when I fall down as far as my diet is concerned. However, this weekend was to be a good one and I was going to stick to a healthier meal plan and drinking plan along with taking Proactol.

So how did I get on this weekend?

Not bad at all. I did have a drink, but not as much as I normally do and I even went down the gym for half an hour over the weekend. This morning I weighed myself and found much to my delight another 1 lb lost!!

This week I would love to go over 10lbs lost, so only 2 more pounds to go!!

I’ll speak to you at the end of the week and let you know how I get on

Acne: What Makes Acne Worse? And The Research Being Done On Acne.

Acne: What Makes Acne Worse? And The Research Been Done On Acne.

A bit of trivia for your first:

Q. What parts of your body will never get acne?

A. Your lips for one as they have no oil producing glands.

Anyway after that little bit of enlightenment lets get on with finding out what can make acne worse. Firstly you have the obvious reasons and ones I am sure we all know and recognise. Changing hormone levels and squeezing or picking at spots. Other reasons that can make acne worse and may be a little less obvious to some are pollution and high humidity, pressure from bike helmets, backpacks or tight collars. Finally, hard scrubbing of your skin can make your acne worse not better.

Scientists are regularly looking at new and better ways that acne can be treated. Working on new drugs to treat acne, ways to prevent acne in the first place and to stop the hormone testosterone from causing acne.

Here are some of the products already available to prevent and treat acne:

The Difference Between IBS and IBD

There is confusion over these two gastrointestinal disorders, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Although IBS does have some similar symptoms to IBD they are not the same condition and making sure you have an accurate diagnosis is key to being able to manage your condition.

With IBS you will suffer from some type of disturbance in your bowel function. Whether it is diarrhea, constipation or alternating bouts of both.

IBS can and does cause a lot of discomfort and distress. However it is not as severe a condition as IBD. Suffering from IBD can mean permanent harm to the intestines or intestinal bleeding. Also IBD’s can mean hospitalization or medication.

If you are a sufferer of IBS or IBD’s then you will no doubt be looking for some relief from IBS or IBD. Helping to ease digestive disorders is Aloeride and you are able to read more information on Aloeride here

Result: I Lost 4 Pounds In Weight This Week!

Over the moon this week as I have lost 4 pounds. So that’s now 7 pounds in total and I must admit to starting to notice the difference. After the first two weeks I was annoyed with myself as I knew I could do better. Yes I was loosing weight by just taking Proactol, but I knew I could lose even more if I applied a more healthier diet and less drinking!

So when I weighed myself this morning I was made up to see the results.

I have even got off my backside and been to the gym a couple of times this week so a big pat on the back for me. I am just pondering which exercise DVD I should get, for those rainy days when I really cannot be bothered to go to the gym.

Now for the difficult days, Friday and Saturday. As I have said before these are the days when I really struggle as the urge to drink and eat what I want becomes its strongest. So here is my plan to take one day at a time and write down a meal and drink plan for this weekend and to stick to it. I would really love to lose some weight over the weekend. My target is to get into doubles figures by the end of next week and go over 10 pounds of weight loss.

Still no side effects from taking Proactol and it has been over three weeks. So I think it is safe to say that I won’t get any now as I’m sure they would have shown up by now.

I’ll report in on Monday and let you know how I got on, and see if I have lost anymore weight while on my Proactol journey.

Feel Great After Summer, Lose Weight And Not Get Winter Blues

You’ve has a good summer, indulged yourself. If you are anything like me have not really watched what you have been eating or drinking. So then comes the rude awakening. Putting on clothes that fitted perfectly before the summer break and now are a bit too snug. Right kick myself up the backside and start on a mission to get back into shape.

As we have explored already at Dietreviewzone there are many ways to get back into shape. For instance joining a gym, however for some of us the gym is not the answer. Reasons for this are motivation and time to actually go to the gym and also if the weather is bad, just simply cannot be bothered. You could always, if you have the space set yourself up a home gym for example in your garage. This is a great way to fit exercise into your daily routine without the need to travel to and from a gym.

A great way to get fit which includes the whole family is to buy a Wii or Wii Fit. Both of these are absolutely great to keep you and your family in shape.

Finally of course we have the exercise DVD’s. There are many many DVD’s available to buy today. Whatever your favourite type of exercise you are surely to find an exercise DVD that you enjoy and also tone up and lose weight with.

As our skin gets older it will start to show signs of aging. So how best can we help keep our skin looking at its best and turn back the hands of time?

Here are a few top tips that will help you to look after your skin

1. Try to avoid exposing your skin to too much sun. By exposing your skin to too much sun you can cause wrinkles and also rough patches of skin. In worse cases you could be heading for more serious problems such as skin cancer.

2. Here is another reason to quit smoking. By smoking you are speeding up the normal aging process for your skin and therefore are more likely to increase the number of wrinkles.

3. Be gentle when washing your skin. A good daily skin care routine is vital to keeping your skin healthy and younger looking.

Are Weight Loss Supplements Or Diet Pills Addictive?

Some of you may have read a recent article saying that Victoria Beckham is now hooked on diet pills. Whilst this article title turned out to be somewhat stretched as it turns out she is apparantely taking a herbal pill in order to increase her sex drive and energy to hopefully help to conceive their fourth child. It does make me wonder and ask the question. Are weight loss supplements or diet pills addictive?

As someone who is taking the weight loss supplement Proactol, I can say that I have not as yet found taking this particular diet pill addictive.

We have gone into greater detail and tackled this question, which you are able to read in our Are Weight loss supplements and Diet pills Addictive here.

How Much Weight Have I Lost Over The Past Week?

Took at long hard look at myself over the weekend. It has been two weeks of taking Proactol now. I lost a pound last week so 3 pounds in total. Which I should be pleased about. Except I know I can do more to help myself lose weight and not just solely rely on the proactol to help me to lose weight or maintain it. Have I been eating healthy? Sort of but not as consistently as I know I should be. I have been kidding myself a bit and thinking that I am doing enough.

It is dawning on me albeit very slowly that Proactol will help me lose weight and has, but I need to make some proper changes too. I want to be losing at least 3 pounds a week and the way I am eating and also drinking is not going to achieve this. It will mean I lose a few pounds and also not put any weight on but that is not my goal. Losing a stone in weight is. Right at the beginning I thought I was preparing well, in parts yes but the whole picture definitely needs work on it.

So today is a new day and a new week. I have joined a gym which I am going to go to after I have done the school run. I have also done a meal plan of what I am going to eat this week. Along with when I am going to allow myself a drink, as in reality I am never going to be T Total so if I totally cut it out now when I stop taking Proactol my weight could well increase so a realistic diet and drink plan is what I need.

I tend to weigh myself once a week. This week I am going to see how I get on and weight myself on Friday, just before the weekend. 3 - 4 pounds this week is my target. With the help of Proactol and me pulling my finger out and doing a bit of exercise and consistently eating more sensibly I am really positive that I will succeed with my weight loss target this week!
