When it comes to our weight and the appearance of our bodies, most of us are concerned about one thing or another. We have a hard time fitting into our clothes and we want to do something about it. Hard work and dedication usually work the best, but somehow we are fascinated by the easy way out.
Dieting is not supposed to be easy, but many of us will do what we can to make it easy on ourselves. There are more diet plans than ever before, each one promising more results with less work. You’ll see from diet pill infomercials that these pills work for anyone wanting to lose weight and get slim.
There are some diet pills that work better than others, but there are also some things to be concerned about. Your weight loss goals are the most important factor in considering diet pills. People that are in the obese range should stay away from over-the-counter diet drugs. The first step is getting together with a health care professional to discuss more conventional diets. If pills are prescribed, it is important that they are used under the supervision of a doctor. Lifestyle changes may be necessary to lose the weight and keep it off.
If you are looking to drop just a few pounds, take careful though in buying diet pills. There are a couple of basic functions that weight loss and diet pills attempt to accomplish. They attempt to suppress the appetite, and to make the digestive process more efficient.
The major problem with diet pills is that most of them are unregulated. Physician prescribed pills are monitored by your doctor and the FDA. The monitoring doesn’t make the perfect, but makes reporting easier to control. Statistics are evaluated and the drugs are tested to maintain safe standards.
The dangers associated with dieting pills are many. This is not to say that all pills will bring about dangerous side effects, each person will react differently. Side effects can include a feeling of nervousness, increased heart rate, higher blood pressure, and even shakiness. The effects may have a lot to do with the amount of food in your stomach and brain activity.
Some diet pills work by changing the activity in the brain, while others work on the stomach. Your individual case may vary, but the simple recommendations work the same:
- Use common sense. Some advertisements sound too good to be true, and probably are.
- Do the pills follow your weight loss goals? Do they make promises for the long term?
- Do you know anybody who has tried them? Can you find other research on the pills?
- re there other methods for losing weight and controlling your diet?
- Follow directions and usage amounts very carefully. Don’t take more than suggested. Even all-natural and herbal diet supplements can have bad reactions on the body.
Whatever you decide largely depends on the weight loss goals you have in mind. Just be careful to cover all of the bases in your decision making process. Gather all the information you can to make sure you are making the right decision. Not all pills work the same for all people. Common sense is the best method of finding the best solution for your needs.

LivingAfterWLS reader feedback indicates snacking is the single biggest problem for people after having gastric bypass - the problem being we snack on unhealthy items, we sabotage our weight loss or weight maintenance and we spiral back into the self-loathing that is so much an emotional part of morbid obesity.
None of us goes into surgery expecting to be the one “who lost all that weight and put it back on.” None of us goes into surgery expecting to become sneak eaters. We all believe we can beat obesity with our “tool” and we all expect to become healthier, more active, and yes dare I say more attractive and happier after WLS and massive weight loss.
Then why do we work so hard to defeat the system? To abuse the tool?
I spent time perusing the personal journal I’ve kept since weight loss surgery and I discovered some interesting things about myself and my snacking habits. See if these sound familiar to you:
- Five PM is a trigger snack time for me because I grew up having an after school snack (hungry or not) and when I walk in the door at night from my grown-up job I become a school kid and I want/need/crave my “after school snack.”
- When I opt for healthy high protein, low fat, low carbohydrate snacks I am remarkably satisfied and pleased with myself. These snacks include cottage cheese, a hard-cooked egg, deli turkey, sugar-free gelatin, beef jerky, almonds.
- Most often I opt for soft food snacks: crackers, trail mix RitzBitz, wheat toast with peanut butter, and worst of all, Nutter-Butter cookies. When I indulge in these snacks I am not satisfied, I feel sluggish and I become self-loathing. I risk dumping.
- Most of my snacking is done covertly - I purchase a single serve pack from the convenience store and eat it in private; never at my work desk, never in front of my family. This covert behavior is reminiscent of pre-WLS days and causes me to be disgusted with myself. “Who in the hell are you hiding from?” I asked myself in one entry.
- It never occurs to me to snack on carrots or apple slices or berries, oh no! I’ve convinced myself that roughage stuff will just tear up my tiny tummy. “Can’t have that”, I say shaking my head with much willpower and determination.
- Consistently my entries about snacking or self-loathing and remorseful filled with negative self talk like “ate mindlessly, AGAIN”, “nervous snacking today,” “carelessly ate a box of animal crackers, never tasted a bite and then got sick: I’m an idiot”, “I was shoving food in my face like a junkyard dog - how ugly that must have looked”, “I made stupid food choices today and then ate chocolate cake with frosting and dumped; it was like I was trying to punish myself and I did.”
- Consistently my entries about exercising are positive filled with words like “felt great” “could have ran another mile” “feel so strong” “tons of energy” “fantastic workout” “strong lungs feel phenomenal”. Yet I more consistently reach for the snack bag than I do my running shoes. Why can’t I get it through my thick head what a remarkable thing exercise is for me and that I really do enjoy it and I like myself when I move my body? Why is that such a hard concept to grasp? Why do I prefer to snack and engage in self-loathing?
- If I see the scale going up I panic and then I snack - almost as if I’m sending the message “This (weight loss) was too good to be true; better hurry-up and defeat myself.”
- Sometimes I snack just because it’s there - just like before surgery.
- I could not find a single entry that read “I was actually hungry today so I had a snack.” That tells me I never snack because I’m hungry. Honestly, I seldom feel hungry so why am I snacking?
Do these behaviors sound familiar to you? Are they some of the demons you are fighting these days? Snacking truly is bariatric purgatory because it derails weight loss and causes self-loathing. And worst of all, we do it to ourselves.

The right way to the right weight.
People often have trouble losing weight because losing weight is
too much on their minds. They are far too strict with themselves
and too keen on quick results. Also they may be unrealistic
about what they can achieve. Many people think they are
overweight when all they are is naturally plump. Take a much
more relaxed approach to the whole affair and you will be more
successful. Don’t deny yourself the foods you like, once you ban
something you will want it all the more. And just as bad, you
may be refusing food that your body needs. Why do you think
pregnant women get desires for all sorts of ’strange’ foods?
Because their bodies are telling them to eat what they need to
create a new life. A baby. Listen to your body and work with it.
It knows what it wants.The best way to regain correct eating
habits is to do it gradually and in a non-strict way. Never eat
with the sole purpose of weight loss. Start by occasionally
swapping your bag of crisps for an apple, your large breakfast
fry up for muesli, and instead of a bottle of fizzy pop have a
bottle of carbonated spring water. Only do it now an then at
first. The thing is to not make any of these changes a strict
rule. Strict rules are always tempting to break, and when you
break them you think you’ve hit a setback and you don’t want to
create needless hurdles. You will find that you gradually come
to like the foods that you thought you never would. You’ll be
gradually allowing your body to remember some of the other
things it likes but had forgotten about. Remember, you are not
cutting out any food - you’re just inceasing the variety of your
diet. You don’t have to follow the standard strict rules like;
Never skip breakfast, Never eat late at night, Never eat sweets
etc. etc. Too many ‘nevers’ is something you will never succeed
with. Some people never fancy food first thing in the day and a
late evening meal can be part of an enjoyable social occasion.
Let yourself be flexible. Just eat what you feel you need when
the time is right for you. Small changes add up to a lot when it
comes to reaching your optimum weight. Eating little and often
as opposed to the three (or more) meals a day regime. Chewing
your food a little more thoroughly will aid digestion and make
you feel fuller with less food. Drinking more fluids than you
do. We are not saying here that you must drink the proverbial
‘eight glasses of water a day’. Just drink, say, three extra
glasses of water a day. It’ll make a difference. Feelings of
hunger really are often just thirst in disguise. Taking a little
more exercise and being more relaxed in your day to day life
will all help. None of the foregoing are very arduous in
themselves, and are certainly not strict rules, but will provide
long term results. Not quick, but lasting. I know you’ve heard
them all before but have you actually done them and stuck with
them. They are so simple to get into the habit of. They work as
long as you don’t rush to the scales every day, looking for
results. Deal in months, not weeks or days. Don’t be neurotic
about what you eat. Of course fruits and vegetables are very
good for you and eat as much as you can of them. But don’t
forget to enjoy the other foods as well. Fats in moderation
leave you feeling more satisfied for longer and it’s not a good
idea to try to drastically reduce them. Most of us enjoy the
occasional hamburger & french fries. And imagine never having
ice cream or apple pie again? No, you need, and must allow, a
treat now and then. Where we go wrong is in allowing is letting
treats become a way of life and the way to change this is
gradually. When you are slimming without trying you’re on the
right, permanent road, to a naturally slimmer you.

We’ve all heard of massage and many of us have even experienced it, in one form or another. By a masseuse who happened to be an armature, loved one or professional. If the person knew what they were doing, you came away feeling like a million bucks. But what is massage, really!
Massage or massage therapy as it has come to be known in our time, began with the ancient Egyptians, then the Greeks and finally the Romans. Yes these ancient cultures used massage therapy for both healing and pleasure. The science of massage therapy had also spread to other early cultures such as India, China and Japan. The last three went further by integrating it to form an integral part of their systems of medicine and healing.
Massage is the organized form of touch. It is performed by the hands, elbows and forearms gliding over the skin and applying pressure to the underlying muscles by a system of movements. These movements involve stroking, rubbing, pressing and kneading. Massage is not a panacea, but can greatly aid in the normal functions of the body and restore balance as well.
How Massage Works
Massage works by the body responding to the various touch techniques given to it. These touch techniques causes the body to engage in there normal functions. Massage itself, acts like a natural stimuli for the body to respond with positive effects in many different ways. Some of these therapeutic effects are, stimulating the circulation of the blood and lymph, loosening of muscular tension, toning and firming the muscles.
When fibers stop sliding over each other easily, it’s most likely the cause of people not getting enough exercise, too much exercise, physical or mental tension. These factors cause the drop of any increase in muscle tone. The waste products from muscular activity, like carbon dioxide, lactic acid and urea, build up in the muscles. Massage therapy fosters drainage of those wastes, therefore restoring there normal functions.
Massage therapy also fosters the drainage of lymph, causing better circulation of the blood. Because of this, the skin looks much better than if drainage was difficult. Why bother with the how the skin looks? Because the appearance of the skin, is usually a good indicator of a persons inner condition. In reference to muscles, massage therapy has a good effect on the fibrous tissue surrounding the joints.
The effects of massage upon the autonomic nervous system gives birth to the feeling of relaxation. How? By stimulating the sensory nerve endings located within the skin, signals are sent to the brain by the central nervous system. This in turn produces the experience of feeling good. Once again because of this action, a new reaction takes place by causing a significant reduction in the body’s stress level. When a person is relaxed, abdominal breathing becomes more natural. I can assure you, your abdominal organs appreciate this. It’s quite clear that the nervous system plays a crucial role in massage therapy. It’s also responsible for the vascular system, since it controls it. A decrease in efficient drainage and supply of blood, is caused by a reduction of vascular.
Massage works by reducing stress, managing the body’s waste products, fostering normal bodily functions, providing a sense of well being and boosting mental health.
The Logic of Massage
The gradual development of massage therapy into a full blown art and science can be determined as only logical. When we fall, bruise or sustain any sort of physical injury, we usually tend to touch it. Even if that act produces no form of healing solution, or does it? Touch in itself is very comforting to us. It reassures us, make us feel loved and accepted. Whenever someone is in pain, we tend to want to hug, hold or touch that person in someway. Somehow sensing that the very act of physical contact will contribute to the overall holistic health of the person. Guess what? You are correct in that assumption.
Studies have shown that, touching among other comforting and intimate contact, does assist in the overall recovery and health of a person. Whether that person is in need of physical, mental, emotional or spiritual healing or comfort. In looking at the big picture, I see massage therapy continuing to play an important role in human history for a long time to come. What are you waiting for, join the minions.

Who is more likely to sustain desirable weight, the valued self or the devalued self?
If you believe it is hard to lose weight and keep it off because you lack something, like discipline, will power, or just common sense, your efforts will come from shame of what you are, rather than value of your health and well being.
When the shame gets exhausting, distracting, confusing, or overwhelming, as it always does, human nature makes us revert to the familiar, which requires far less mental energy. That means the old eating habits.
Your problem in reaching and maintaining your desired weight is not due to personal failings. You have plenty of discipline - you have gone through so much trouble time and time again to lose weight. You certainly have will power or you wouldn’t keep trying after each failure.
The problem lies not in you, but in your weight-loss programs, which set you up to fail.
No weight control program can succeed by dominating your consciousness with food and weight. This actually increases the unconscious impulse to eat.
Setting “goals” for weight loss makes you fail in the long run. In other words, you win some, you lose some. In the long run, winning and losing even out and put you back at your original weight, if not higher.
No weight control program can succeed unless it helps you regulate the core hurts that make you overeat and attack food.
A successful program must develop a conditioned response to regulate eating automatically. Otherwise, you will have to do the near impossible: “stop and think about it,” when swept up in a rush to eat.
With Core Value Eating, you stop thinking so much about weight and start looking at yourself and others with more compassion.
Instead of making goals, you create more value in your life. You value yourself more, which automatically makes you value your health and well being.
You learn to motivate yourself with “Acts of Kindness,” especially when you relapse. (Who are more likely to repeat mistakes, those who punish themselves with guilt or shame or those who value themselves?)
Compassionate eating conditions Core Value to occur with the impulse to eat. The reflex of Core Value will then motivate whatever you do, including food consumption.
Begin Core Value Eating with a list of five “Acts of Kindness” you will do for yourself when you have a temporary relapse of overeating or an attack on food. The point is to change the motivation to eat from avoiding core hurts to experiencing Core Value. In making your list, think of what will help you eat from your Core Value next time.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
With Core Value Eating, you learn to view your cores hurts compassionately, and when they occur, to look for the light of Core Value.
In that light, emanating from deep within, you will not have to worry about “managing” your weight. Your Core Value will do it for you.
Core Value makes us worthy by motivating us to accept, value, love, and, most important, feel compassion for self and others.
Health and well being depend far more on how much we value than how much we are valued, even though we’re a lot more sensitive to the latter. You are probably quite aware of the times in your life when you didn’t feel valued in relationships at work or at home. What you did not notice is that those were times when you valued far less.
Here’s a little test to show the power of value. List of the qualities that you believe make a person worthy of love. Just think of people who you believe are lovable, and list their most lovable qualities.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Your list consists of various aspects of compassion. You have described a person who is accepting, valuing, and loving, someone who makes an emotional investment in others, not just herself. You have described someone who is compassionate.
When you feel compassion for yourself and others, you cannot feel a core hurt and you do not have an impulse to overeat.
Dr. Steven Stosny’s most recent books is, You Don’t Have to Take It Anymore: Turn Your Resentful, Angry, or Emotionally Abusive Relationship into a Compassionate, Loving One. He has appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “CBS Sunday Morning,” and CNN’s “Talkback Live” and “Anderson Cooper 360″ and has been the subject of articles in, The New York Times, The Washington Post, U.S. News & World Report, The Wall Street Journal, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, O, Psychology Today, AP, Reuters, and USA Today.

Sometimes our weight loss motivation is derailed….not by tempting high-fat, high sugar foods but by our thoughts! Haven’t we all been there? You’ve exercised until your exerciser explodes; you eat high fiber crunchy vegetables and keep your calorie counts under 1800 calories a day; you shun the foods you so enjoy and yet, when you step on the scale, you have only lost …0 pounds. “O pounds? Oh, no, wait, I’ve actually gained weight! How can this be?”
That’s when the negative self-talk begins…”I’ve never been able to lose weight; I’ll never be able to lose weight; it’s over; I’m done; I’m a loser….where are the brownies??”
I’ve talked this talk before; you could say I’m an expert! But my health is at stake this time. Whether I lose weight or not, high fat and high sugar treats could mean more than just a few extra pounds…it could mean having to go on insulin or high blood pressure medication or it could mean having a stroke and being disabled the rest of my life.
I don’t want to live that way. I just want to be healthy. So when the negative self-talk pops up again, I say to myself, “Yes, I can lose weight. Yes, I can eat right. Yes, I do like salads and I don’t like cookies, cake or candy.” If I keep repeating to myself that I can do it, someday I will look back and see that I did it!
There is a spiritual principle at work here, by the way. It’s called “calling those things that be not as thought they are” principle. To make a long story short (see Romans 4 in the Bible if you want to do further reading on this), a famous person called Abram wanted to be a father. But he had no sons and no prospects since his wife was old and so was he. But God had promised him a son and he knew that God didn’t lie. Still, it was tough to believe. God helped him out by re-naming him “Abraham”, which meant “Father of Many Nations”. For years, everytime he said his own name, he was declaring to himself that he was the Father of many nations. Lo and behold, Sarah, his wife, gave birth to a son named Isaac. And from there, nations were conceived.
Abraham is no different than you or I. He spoke what he wanted; he got what he wanted. We can speak positive things over our lives as well. Losing weight might seem like an insignificant thing compared to Abraham’s desire but in God’s eyes, we are all the same. He is faithful to do what is in His will for those He loves. And certainly, it is in His will for us to be healthy. But we have to do our part, which is to act responsibly and to believe and not allow negative self-talk to rule our lives.

One of the stories that has been bantered around after John Waynes death from Cancer was that at his autopsy they removed over 35 pounds of impacted fecal matter from his colon.
It is hard to discern if this is urban legend or fact. However, if this is true you can certainly understand how this waste could have adversely affected his health.
How much undigested food and waste material is being held in your colon?
When we think of cleansing we have to keep in mind that the body has seven channels of elimination. Just like you would clean your entire house you should also undertake a regimen of cleansing all of your channels of elimination. These channels are the liver, lungs, lymphatic system, blood, skin, colon and kidneys. A cleanse which focuses on only one of the channels of elimination is akin to deciding that you are only going to clean the closets in your house.
A constipated colon is one in which the transit time of food is more than 24 hours. Transit time is the length of time it takes for food to enter the mouth and exit the rectum. The basic principle of good digestive health is that you should put food in and wihin 24 hours that food should come out as waste.
The naturopathic perspective is that the longer the transit time of food, the longer these toxins stay in our digestive tract which permits proteins to putrefy, fats to get rancid, and carbohydrates to ferment.
Regardless how you look at it this cannot be healthy for your body. The longer your body is exposed to these toxins in your intestines, the greater the risk of developing disease.
Stop and think about this.
If you have only one bowel movement per day, you will have all of the other meals that you ate over the last 24 hours putrefying in your intestines. This is called intoxification. It is poisoning from within. The inability to purge toxins from our systems.
What we all need to understand is that the reason why constipation is dangerous to our health is that our bodies are designed to absorb whatever is in the digestive tract. If you put good healthy nutrition there the body will absorb it. Likewise, if you put putrefying, toxic waste there the body will absorb that as well.
The best way to start a cleansing program is by cleansing your colon. After you begin your colon cleansing program you might also want to consider maintenance program with colon hydrotherapy.
Talk to your Doctor for guidance and suggestions on things you can do to maintain optimal health.

I moved from the Midwestern U.S. to the high desert mountains of Utah. There I was introduced to an invention called a sprinkling system. Fancy sprinklers were on timers. Some less fortunate folks had to go out everyday and turn their sprinklers on and off.
My yard growing up had always been watered by the sky so this whole sprinkler business seemed rather unnatural to me. It seemed more reasonable to plant native grasses and let the sky water them.
Because of a world opened up to me by the internet, I learned about xeric and drought tolerant plant life. Xeric plants thrive in dry/drought conditions. They stay green and bloom nicely. On the other hand, drought tolerant plants survive drought by going dormant. They stop blooming and may turn brown.
You and I are drought tolerant, which is good since we have subjected our bodies to constant drought conditions.
What constitutes a bodily drought? If your urine is yellow instead of colorless, you are living under drought conditions. If you are drinking less than one half your body weight in ounces daily, you are living under drought conditions. We are talking water here. Diuretics like juice, coffee, tea, and soda do not count. Drinking these liquids requires you to add even more water to your regimen. (http://www.mercola.com/article/water.htm)
We may be drought tolerant, but we are not xeric. We can survive, but we do not thrive in drought. In a sense, we stop blooming and turn a shriveled brown. Our bodies react to drought with increased inflammation, allergies, pain, fatigue, depression, heartburn, high blood pressure, and migraines. The excess cytokines inflammation are stimulated as a result of increased histamine production.
When in drought, our bodies produce a chemical called histamine. This is because histamine is in charge of water regulation in the body. Antihistamines, which are prescribed for allergies, depression, and pain, reduce the number of histamines in the body. Antihistamines treat the symptoms of drought. They may work effectively, but the best antihistamine is water. (http://www.watercure.com)

Warts are small benign growths on the skin, caused by a variety of related, slow-acting viruses HPV (human papilloma virus). There are at least sixty known types of HPV. Warts may appear singly or in clusters. We will talk about three types of warts: Common warts, Plantar warts, and genital warts.
Common warts can be found anywhere on the body, but are most common on the hands, fingers elbows, forearms, knees, face, and the skin around the nails. Most often, they occur on skin that is expose to constant friction, trauma, or abrasion. They can also occur on the larynx (the voice box) and cause hoarseness. Common warts may be flat or raised, dry or moist, and have a rough and pitted surface that is either the same color as or slightly darker than the surrounding skin.
They can be as small as a pinhead or as large as small bean. Highly contagious, the virus that causes common warts is acquired through breaks in the skin. Common warts can spread if they picked, trimmed, bitten or touched, Warts on the face can spread as a result of shaving.
Common warts typically do not cause pain or itching.
Plantar warts occur on the sales of the feet and the underside of the toes. They are bumpy white growths that may resemble calluses, except that they can be tender to the touch and often bleed if the surface is trimmed. They also often have an identifiable hard center. Plantar warts do not tend to spread to other parts of the body.
Genital warts soft, moist growths found in and around the vagina, anus, penis, groin, and/or scrotum. In men, they can grow in the urethra as well. They are usually pink or red in color and resemble tiny heads of cauliflower. Genital warts most often occur in clusters, but they can appear singly as well. They are transmitted through vaginal, oral, or anal intercourse, and are highly contagious. Because the warts do not usually appear until three months or more after an individual becomes infected with the HPV that causes them, the virus can be spread before the carrier is even aware that he or she has it. Although genital warts are not cancerous, they appear to cause changes in the cervix that may be a precursor of cervical cancer.
An infant born to a mother with genital warts may contract the virus. If you have genital warts, you are not alone. Between the start of the “sexual revolution” in the sixties and the late eighties, reported occurrences of these warts increased tenfold. By 1990, one million cases a year were being reported in the United States alone.
We recommend.
Fresh Aloe vera juice is applied directly to dissolve warts and tone the skin.
Proteolytic Enzymes: Papaya (papain), Pineapple (bromelain), banana peel and figs contain enzymes that digest and dissolve warts in a safe manner.
The fresh plant, sap (figs) or concentrate (papain) can be applied; any of these can be taped to the skin for several hours.
Milkweed a weed that is wide spread across North America; the fresh milky sap of the leaf or stem is applied directly to warts once a day. Usually works dramatically; non-irritating, does not affect normal skin.
Increase the amount of sulfur-containing amino acids in your diet by eating more asparagus, citrus fruits, eggs, garlic, and onions.
