How Much Weight Have I lost So Far?

Yes, I am down 5 more pounds over the past 2 weeks while using Hoodia Prime and changing my diet. I know that doesn’t sound like a lot when compared to crazy claims made by manufacturers, but I am inching my way forward.

Here are two of myself, one from my 1st week and another about 10 days after (and yes, I started tanning, no matter how bad I know it is for me…. it just makes you look slimmer. There’s a 5 pound difference).

Keep in mind that when people lose more than 3 pounds per week, it’s usually going to be water weight or they are losing muscle along with their fat. I don’t want either of those. And I know I am losing fat and not muscle because the weight training I am doing hasn’t suffered. If I was losing muscle, then my workouts would be harder to do, and they’re not.

I want to go a full 30 days before I post up more photos, as it is hard to see much difference from week to week (as you can see in the above photos) even though I AM losing weight.

Alli Weight Loss – Do They Think We Are Idiots ?

No Thanks To The Alli Diet Pill

The Alli Diet Pill… the weight loss miracle drug, right?

I had looked into Alli when it first came out, but soon after the internet did it’s thing and people started complaining about ‘leakage.’

What leakage you ask? Are you sure you want to know?

Anal leakage. I’m not kidding. It’s one of the side effects from using Alli diet pills. That goes to show you the length women will go to in order to get thing.

The Alli Diet Pill website even advises that people who use this wear dark pants when using Alli and to bring a spare change of underwear to work with you, just in case. Folks, I am not making this stuff up!

This is just one of the KNOWN side effects. Who know what other side effects lurk in the future.

For now, I am going to stick to natural herbs like my Hoodia Prime for appetite suppression and soon some natural thermogenics. Oh, what… I didn’t tell you guys about that?

AHA! Well, just wait a while longer. I will be revealing something pretty exciting, IF it does what I think it will do. I am not going to mention any product names until I have tested it on myself (and my silly boyfriend who is ever the faithful guinea pig.

PS: Stay away from the Alli pill unless you don’t care about crapping yourself. Even Saturday Night Live did a skit on it.

Confusing Hoodia Prime with another brand of Hoodia Gordonii

Somebody brought to my attention today that if you type in HOODIA PRIME on google, the first two listings are for a different company that has a similarly named product (theirs says PRIME HOODIA.)

These are NOT THE SAME THING. I know nothing about the other Hoodia Gordonii product

I was trying to refrain from posting links since Google works so well, but since there is confusion, here it is (both of these go to the same site):

Hoodia Prime

Natures Biology

The Hoodia Gordonii I am using to great effect is called Hoodia Prime and it is made by a company called Nature’s Biology. They come in these really nice looking green bottles, with a sealed wrapped top and a vacuum seal under the lid. Everything about this product is top notch.

The only bad thing is that you can go through the bottles pretty quickly. I had originally ordered 3 bottles of Hoodia Prime, but at checkout, it asked me if I wanted to double my order and upgrade to 6 bottles for only $40 more. Considering 1 bottle costs $57, this was a no brainer so I bought all 6 (you can see that in my blog post from the other day.) Because my boyfriend and I are both using Hoodia Prime, we are on bottle #2.

I can say without a doubt that we have cut way back on our junk food, and this has given us more energy than I thought would be possible. It is just amazing how far down you can be pulled on the energy level when you’re eating crap.

It’s only been about a week, so i will post results in about another week or two. I can tell you right now that my boyfriend has had pretty quick weight loss and will soon have to wear a belt because his pants are starting to wiggle off when he walks, and it’s only been a week.

More to come soon on fast weight loss tips.

Hoodia Prime Review Video

Found this video that reviews the product I am on ( Hoodia Prime ). I couldn’t agree with her more. The difference though is that I took 2 Hoodia Prime capsules an hour before each meal, 4X per day.

My boyfriend started taking Hoodia Prime and he didnt feel too much on 2 capsules, so he upped it to 3 capsules this morning and he said he is now able to feel it. He weighs twice as much as me, so that makes sense.

here’s the video reviewing Hoodia Prime:

My Experience With Hoodia Prime – The Past 48 hours

Well as mentioned last week, my Hoodia Prime by Natures Biology, arrived. Here’s what it looks like:

I got 6 bottles which should last around 3 months I think, just enough time for me to hopefully get down to my goal weight and still hit the rivers and beaches in bikini form.

So here’s a little diary of what has happened:

PRE HOODIA

———-

Midnight (or so): I was really hungry last night but decided to go to bed without eating. I guess I felt guilty about all the crap I had eaten earlier in the day at the party.

9am (or so): Upon waking this morning, I was surprised to find that I was less hungry than I was before I went to bed. Strange how the body works.

9:30am: That didn’t last long though, and about 30 minutes after waking up I was pretty hungry again. I tried eating a healthy breakfast of oatmeal with some cinnamon added to it. Not bad.

10:15am: A package was delivered today. It was my Hoodia Prime order. Yay! I almost didn’t order this because I have been burnt on two other hoodia products so far after reading ‘glowing reviews’ on them. I found out later they were fake review sites.

Not trusting review sites, I found a health forum ( http://www.CureYourBody.com/forums ) where they were talking about Hoodia prime and the moderator said it was pretty good. So I ordered it.

I took two of the Hoodia Prime capsules… this was probably 45 minutes AFTER I had eaten breakfast, so probably not the ideal time to do so.

1pm: Lunch time came around and I am not sure if the pills were working or had kicked in yet. I took two more Hoodia Prime capsules with my lunch, as recommended on the bottle.

6pm: I also took two more capsules with dinner. I was till hungry, but I can say that I didn’t have my normal midnight cravings, so that is good. Probably the Hoodia Prime ???

***

NEXT DAY

9am: Woke up to get ready for work as usual.

9:30am: Hmmmm, not hungry at all. Forced myself to eat some oatmeal and a small protein drink. Also took two hoodia prime capsules.

1pm: Lunch time at work, and not hungry at all. The Hoodia Prime is DEFINITELY working. No doubt about it at this point! I skipped lunch and worked.

I also didn’t take any Hoodia Prime this time around.

5:45pm: Some friends and I went to the movies after work. I had a diet coke at the theatre, but other than a couple bites of popcorn, I didn’t have any of the popcorn we were sharing. This is very odd for me, as I would be starving at this point normally and eat a lot of popcorn and then probably go get ice cream afterwards (there’s a great ice cream shop right next to the theatre.) Instead I went home.

8pm: I forced myself to eat a small dinner, as I hadn’t eaten since breakfast. Watched ‘No Country For Old Men’ which came from Netflix. Weird movie.

11pm: Relaxed with my boyfriend watching Wife Swap in bed. This show is so funny.

No late night cravings. My boyfriend had brought snacks to bed, but I didn’t want any.

I am really happy at how much the Hoodia Prime has killed my appetite. I’ve tried other hoodia products with no results at all.

Now that I can control my hunger, I need to get myself motivated to go to the gym. My boyfriend is also going to start using my Hoodia after hearing what I had to say about it. We both have bad food habits, so this is a good thing.

So anyway, it’s working so far, and this is good for me. Hoodia prime is the only hoodia product that has worked for me so far. If you have used it, post on my blog.

Take care,

6 ‘Summer Weight Loss Tips’ I Am Implementing As of Today

Hi everybody,

It’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I am glad the weather is warming up and am looking forward to going to the beach.

Here are a few summer weight loss tips that I have decided I will start implementing moving forward. I think these weight loss tips are great for helping control my eating:

1) Place what you eat on a plate and never eat out of the jar or bag. By doing this, you can see exactly how much you are eating throughout the day.

2) Eat the low-calorie items off of your plate first, and then move on to the more calorie dense items. Start with salads, vegetables, then go to soups, and then the main part of the meal. The idea here is that you’ll likely be full or getting full by the time you reach the high calorie stuff, so you’ll eat less of it.

3) Stop drinking milk. If you cant do that, stop drinking whole milk and switch to 1 percent. Whole milk is pretty calorie dense, so this is important.

4) Cut out fruit juices and sodas. It goes without saying that sodas should go, but why juices? Well, because they are calorie dense. Instead of drinking fruit juice, try eating the fruit itself. I.e., eat an orange instead of drinking a glass of orange juice, and you’ll consume a heck of a lot less calories.

5) Take your lunch to work. I really need to start doing this, since I always seem to hit Burger King if I don’t.

6) If you are going to keep drinking fruit juice, dilute it with water. The key here is to not taste the full fruit juice first, or you’ll definitely taste that it is watered down. Start off my only watering it down by 10% and each week add another 10%. Before you know it, in 5 weeks you’re now drinking half water, half juice, and in my case that works out to about 10 lbs of calories per year!

I hope these 6 summer weight loss tips can help you.

PS: The Hoodia Gordonii I ordered came in yesterday. I’ll make a blog post tomorrow about it.

Weight Loss Supplements and My Woes

USING DIET PRODUCTS – WHAT HAVE I USED?

I don’t have a single female friend who hasn’t tried some kind of weight loss product, whether it be a pill or some kind of cellulite cream, looking for that quick weight loss. We girls are just too caught up in how we look and are always trying weight loss supplements.

Add to the mix any pressure if you’re overweight (like I am), then things get really dire.

In terms of wieght loss supplements for fast weight loss, I have done a ton of things. I used to really like ephedrine based products, but they got banned here in the USA.

The problem I tend to have is that I always seem to be hungry. I can literally eat or munch on things all day. I dont know what it is, but I am just hungry all the time.

TRYING VARIOUS DIET PRODUCTS

So lately I had been trying appetite suppressing supplements. Probably like you may have done, I found some review sites that reviewed the top 10 diet products and I ordered the winning product. When I got it and tried it, it certainly wasn’t a winner. They were just fake products that didn’t work. I get so pissed about wasting money on stuff. More than that, I hate that I waste time and effort on something I think will work, and then doesn’t.

WEIGHT LOSS PRODUCT SCAMS

I have found that most sites that review products are scams. You can tell by looking at the links they send you to. These are called affiliate links and usually have a series of letters and numbers after the domain name. I would stay away from those. So be careful.

HOODIA GORDONNI SCAMS ?

With that being said, I have ordered a new hoodia gordonii product and will see how that works. Hoodia Gordonii suppresses the appetite, and that is what I need.

“Unfortuantely, I have ordered Hoodia before, and it has never worked.”

But I recently read in some health forums (*** please note the difference, these are discussion forums and not review sites) and talking with others, that one hoodia gordonii product called Hoodia Prime has been working really well.

If it does what it is supposed to, I will let you know. It was supposed to arrive yesterday but hasnt shown up as of yet. Fingers crossed it will be here today.

Good luck everybody, with whaterver you choose.

My Summer Quick Weight Loss Challenge

Hey everybody. I am posting this blog in the hopes that my experiences can help others. I seem to have tried just about everything, most of it not working, and others requring too much effort.

I’ve tried just about every diet plan:

Southbeach diet

Atkins Diet

Trim Spa

Ketogenic Diets (various versions)

Lemonade Diet

3 Day Tuna Diet

Weight Watchers

Jenny Craig

…and others

Anyway, for one reason or another, they didn’t work for me. Cutting out the carbs made me ravenous to the point where when I ate, I binged like crazy. I don’t know what to say other than I somehow have a week will when it comes to food. I hate that about myself!

I did add a few healthy things to my life, so here are tips that I have stuck with that I think could help you:

1) Eat a healthy breakfast. I used to skip this, but by doing this, I have noticed that it curbs my appetite more throughout the day. I have found ways to make oatmeal taste good, so that is what I eat. I often times will eat cottage cheese along with it to get my protein.

2) Never supersize your food. At work, I am always on the go, and that means I often find myself driving through a fast food joint. Don’t supersize. And eat slower. you’ll likely find by eating slower you’ll get fuller more easily.

3) Add in a veggie serving each day. Each week, add one more veggie serving until you get up to 5 to 10 veggie servings per day.

4) When out with your significant other, make it a point to always SHARE a dessert instead of ordering your own desert. This will most likely save you several hundred calories right there.

So all of this being said, I am still overweight. At 5′6 in height, I had bubbled up to over 185 pounds, but I am now back down to 165 poinds. My end goal is to get to 135 pounds, so I have a way to go.

In my next blog post, I’ll write about my supplement nightmare… so far.

Take care,

Carrina
