How To Find The Best Weight Loss Program That Really Works

Posted by luputtenan2 on Friday, October 13, 2006

Have you been going back and forth, jumping from one program to the next, in your quest, in still trying to find, the best weight loss program that works??? This is a hard task. Well let me tell you this. They are out there and they do exist. You just got to dig deeper.
People first are looking for the best weight loss program out there before actually loosing the weight itself. You need to know what to look for in a weight loss program and what questions to ask
Before looking into a weight loss program, you may want to talk to your doctor first. It is a doctor's job to help you improve your health. Isn't that what they are there for? Through your doctor, find out as much as you can about your health first before joining any weight loss program. At least you will know where you stand health wise.
Now, in your quest to find the best, make sure it is safe. Look for a program that will have a 1000 to 2000 calorie intake. Any calorie program lower that 1000 is dangerous. Also, a program should focus on slow changes. Don't go for the quickies.
Make sure the professionals who are working in the weight loss arena can answer your questions easily. And especially about pricing. Some of these programs cost so much and you get nothing out of it. Just a little tin-kle return. And does the program carry any risk? Definitely ask this one.
You also want to know how many people have been with the program and for how long and are they still using the weight loss program. And if this program you are looking into is celebrity endorsed, don't be afraid to ask questions about that celebrity and how much weight they lost. Why not if he or she is endorsing the program.
The best weight loss program out there is one that is going to motivate you. One that makes you feel good mentally, physically and spiritually. And this is what you should look for.

How Diabetes Can Effect Vision

Posted by luputtenan2

Vision problems usually affect those who have Type 1 diabetes, but can also affect those with Type 2 diabetes. Vision issues such as:
- Blurred vision
- Ability to see color is diminished
- Floaters across field of vision
- Nighttime vision decreased
When a person has diabetes, the tissue in the back of the eye that allows light in may be damaged or may be growing too rapidly. This can happen over time and may eventually lead to blindness. Having a doctor examine the eye is the only way to determine the causes and determine whether surgery or other options are available.
Surgeries can include:
- Laser photocoagulation
– destroys blood vessels that are blocking the light from entering the eye.
- Cryoretinoplexy
– freezes blood vessels and stops tissue from growing behind the eye.
- Vitrectomy
– remove vitrous from the eye.
These surgeries will help remove tissue that has been damaged by diabetes.
While there are many problems associated with diabetes, losing one’s vision over time can be very frustrating. Having yearly check-ups, wearing glasses, and monitoring how one’s vision seems during the day will help. If a person develops constant headaches, blurred vision, or other symptoms, they should consult a doctor to see what can be done. Many times reducing stress and changing dietary habits may be enough to stop the symptoms from returning.
Eating a proper diet and maintaining blood sugar levels will also help. Diabetes affects millions of people, but not all will suffer eye damage. This depends on diet, exercise, heredity, and other factors.

Six Tips for Losing Weight

Posted by luputtenan2 on Wednesday, October 11, 2006

Losing weight is not “rocket science.” All you have to do is increase your exercise and control your eating and you will lose weight. Of course this is easier said than done, but it is possible to do it.
Many people give up the effort because they are overwhelmed with so many things to do. Don’t eat this, eat this, do this, do that and many other instructions prove to be too much. OK, if you can’t follow a whole program then why not make one change at a time in your lifestyle?
I will give you a few examples. One of my yoga students came to me and told me that he had just lost 4 kilos (close to 9 pounds) in one month. How did he do it? He just did one thing: he fasted during one day of each week of that month. That’s all he did.
If you don’t like fasting or are not ready for it, then try one experiment with food. Give up eating foods with unnecessary added sugar such as cookies, cakes, candies, soda etc. I tried this recently and lost ten pounds. After a meal, instead of eating a sweet dessert I eat a piece of fruit. It’s possible, and you don’t have to change anything else.
And, if you are not ready to change your eating habits, then try adding some exercise to your life. Take a walk after dinner instead of sitting in an easy chair watching TV. Put on your mp3 player, get out in the fresh air and digest your dinner with a brisk walk. Walk 20 minutes away from your home and 20 minutes back. Do this every night and you are sure to lose some weight, and also improve your digestion and sleep.
Another small change you can make is to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Four liters (quarts) spread out over the day will help you to control your appetite and also help your over-all bodily functions.
If these above mentioned tips are not “doable” then try something else: do the three yoga postures which are explained in the Yoga Weight Loss Secrets ebook, twice a day. It will take you a total of forty minutes, and/or do the meditation that is described in the mini course and in the ebook.
Finally, if you are gung-ho and would like to try all of these tips on a daily basis. Then here is what to do:
1. Give up unnecessary sweet foods, and substitute them with fruit
2. Do fasting on a regular basis (see my ebook or mini course for instructions)
3. Add brisk walking to your daily schedule (40 minutes)
4. Drink four liters of water every day
5. Practice yoga exercises two times a day
6. Practice meditation two times a day
If you do any one of these things you will lose weight. If you do all of these, then your success is a sure guarantee.
