Everyone tries to make losing weight complicated. This is because they are tring to sell you a membership their gym or the latest so called "miracle" weight loss pill. Weight loss is a simple matter if you look at it logically. Here are some pointers to get you started.

• You must burn more calories then you take in, to lose weight.


• If you eat more calories then you burn, you will GAIN weight.


• There is no magic pill that will make you lose weight while you do nothing.


• We were meant to drink water only so drink lots of it.


• Starving yourself will cause your body to slow down your metablosim so you DO NOT burn any calories.


• It is better to eat 5 or 6 small snacks through out the day, insted of 2 or 3 big meals.
  
• You must get off your fat butt and do something in order to burn calories and therefore lose weight.


• Make sure you get at least 6-8 hours of sleep everyday.


• Stress produces chemicals in your body that inhibit weight loss, and causes overeating in some cases. Learn to meditate or find some other means to releive your stress

Think about these things and try to implement them into your approach to weight loss. I also recommend taking a good multi-vitamin everyday. You want your body to be hitting on all cylinders and functioning properly to acheive maximum success. The only other thing that I use is Hoodia Gordonii, because it keeps me from feeling hungry all the time.

I have been using a product, that Squidoo does not permit me to mention more than once (see picture), for the last month and have lost more weight than the previous 2 months. I already mentioned it earlier and will refer to it from here on as HG. HG is an appetite suppressant. It doesn't boost your metabolism and it's not a fat blocker. If you are the type of person that eats because they are depressed, bored, or stressed or stressed out, then HG is probably not going to help you very much.

If you eat because you feel hungry, then HG may be just what you need. I have done a ton of research on the this South African cactus (hint, hint)and you can view my findings on my blog's HG page. I talk about how HG works, list possible side effects, and show you how to determine the real deal from the frauds.

If you just want a recommendation, I use a product called Desert Burn. I can tell you for sure that it will keep you from feeling hungry and I have also noticed another unadvertised effect. Now, I need to qualify this because it might be a result of the exercise program and healthy eating, but since I started using HG, I have noticed an increased libido. My wife is also taking HG and has noticed the same thing. Talk about your surprise side effects!
