So we're all talking healthy eating and more physical activity...which is great. But let's hit the underlying theme each of us - i believe - has.
we grew up in charleston, and we love the beach. there is a health component to all of this, but i think, deep down, each of us has a very superficial goal: to look good on the beach.
don't shake your heads...don't apply other reasons...it's probably true.
so i'm posing a question with that goal in mind. our healthy living means a gradual body change, but summer is only 10 months away. better living is required now b/c we aren't 16 or 21. beer hurts and it stays in our bodies longer.
but what do we do to speed up the process?
do those weight loss/metabolism increasers/appetite suppresants actually work? do you go to a health food store and get the system cleansers? do you get the energy pills at the gas station?
it seems to me that - as superficial as our society is - that something should work, especially in conjunction with healthy eating and physical activity. marketing may be spin on a product, but you can't actually lie about the product. so some of what we're told has a kernel of truth somewhere in there.
thoughts?

I'm not so sure about supplements to enhance weight loss. They contain caffeine and other stimulants that can be quite dangerous. Just because the supplements are FDA approved does not mean they are completely safe; they just won't kill a "normal" person. If you are going to get something like that, check out GNC or the Vitamin Shoppe so you can talk to someone who would hopefully know more about the risks.
ReplyDeleteright...that was the path i would recommend anyone to take. I was just curious if anyone knew which ones have actually 'worked' and share the knowledge with the rest of us.
ReplyDeletewe all lead busy lives requiring physical activities...but that doesn't mean exercise.
