Weight loss tips?

[Bradferd]

Hi,
I'm new here to this site. I was wondering if anyone has any helpful weight loss tips? I would like to lose some weight , but I haven't had much of that luck lately.I was doing a web search on diets and I came across a diet pill called natural slim down fast. Has anyone heard of this? If someone give me some tips I would like to heard them.
Thanks

Hi Bradferd, and welcome to Scotland.com

I believe that there is no such thing as a wonder pill, a friend of mine ill advisedly took a similar type of pill a few years back, it made her very ill and efected her like a narcotic.

I find the best way is plain old watch what you eat and plenty of exercise. Cut out fatty foods and snack such as crisps, chocolate, biscuits etc.

If it's an actual diet your looking for, then I'm sure that there are alot of really good ones out there and some of the members here will be able to help you.

Good luck

Diets do not work, I have tried that many and found that out.
What you need to do is plan a new way of life as I have done.
Out with the fatty foods and in with pasta, rice and healthy
vegetables.
I started my new food life in May 2000 and so far have
lost
over 50 pounds and I feel 200% better for it. I am still losing
weight without trying.

I do still eat chocolate although it is now dark chocolate and I
do drink red wine, so its not all doom and gloom.

If you want me to I can send to you any information I have regarding
what is good and what is not.

Just mail me with your address!!

Oh !! Welcome to S.com and enjoy posting here as I do.

Babz could post some low fat healthy recipes in cuisine or maybe as a side thread in here.

I am sure this would be very useful.

I have some already posted in cuisine and have moved them to the
top of the forum.
There are others that I will do later and if anyone wants a specific
recipe I will try to help.

I'm at 140lb. and have recently embraced it. I look good at 140. Even when I was exercising 5 days/week (step aerobics) and weight lifting, I went down two sizes and stayed at 140.
I exercise now by walking 10-20 min. and do push-ups (15 reps. 3-5sets) 5 days. Oh yeah, squats, squats, and more squats. They hurt but the rewards of good looking (albeit short) legs!
I'm trying to get into yoga ("kill two bird's with one stone" outlook... exercise plus meditation). This is very new to me. One week and trying, trying, trying. Wish me luck!
Visit a web site http://www.drweil.com. He's amazing. His 8 week book is very down to earth. He approaches his and other's health issues on three levels, mind, body, spirit. All three are important to a healthy you.
Good luck. And keep us posted!!!
