I love fruit drinks and especially smoothies, what about do you? I’m sure everybody does, but there is something that bothers me about those drinks – their preparation time. I know that even with the fastest smoothie blender or fruit press, it could still take about 5 to 10 minutes (depending on the quantity you wanna make).

Then I thought… What if you could have your favorite fruit drink or smoothie ready in about 1 to 3 minutes? I’d be great!

This is possible if you use WonderSlim Protein Smoothies and Fruit Diet Drinks and it gets even better for you to know that those protein diet drinks are actually WonderSlim Diet meal replacements.

WonderSlim Diet Smoothies are high in protein, low in fat, and full of essential vitamins and minerals. You can enjoy their rich and creamy taste all year long, anywhere you like. As they are well balanced and nutritious you can take them instead of your regular meals or just as a quick and healthy snack.

These protein diet smoothies are the perfect solution for any busy dieter on the go who doesn’t want to sacrifice taste or nutrition and yet gets everything they need to lose weight healthy way or maintain your lost weight.
They are the ideal supplement to your WonderSlim Diet plan.

Preparation is easy – poor the contents of one packet (100 calories) into a glass, shaker cup or blender. Add 8 ounces of cold water and stir or shake vigorously until dissolved…

…Or you can use both the Berry and Strawberry Smoothies to make a frozen pudding pops like Liz (one of the many happy users of these wonderfully flavored protein diet smoothies):
She combines fresh or frozen fruits, adds plain yogurt and blends. Delicious and nutritious these could be great frozen snacks for the hot summer days.

Hello to everybody who’s been asking these particular questions for some times now:

1. Is cinnamon bad for the liver and the kidneys?

Coumarin is a chemical compound contained in Cassia (Cinnamomum aromaticum – aka Chinese Cinnamon) and is known to cause liver and kidney damage in high concentrations. True Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum – aka Ceylon Cinnamon) has negligible amounts of Coumarin, so no worries here folks as long as you use the True Cinnamon.

Coumarin toxicity is 275 mg/kg, which is relatively low compared to related chemical compounds. We humans are able to largely metabolize Coumarin to a compound that is of lower toxicity.

Also pay attention to the key phrase here “high concentrations” – half teaspoon a day is not high concentration. So if you’ve been using a half teaspoon of Cassia to prepare the drink, instead of the Ceylon Cinnamon, you don’t have to be worried, just try to find true cinnamon.

2. How long should I take it?

Important notice: You should not over use the honey and cinnamon drink, meaning you can’t use it forever.
If you reach your weight goal within a couple of weeks or a month – that’s fantastic. If you need more time, just use it for about 2 to 4 months tops.

3. Should the honey be added after half an hour (when the water cools)?

I know that in my original post I wrote to make a paste from the honey and the cinnamon powder and then to poor the hot water in the cup. However, I should agree with that the honey is better to be added after the water and cinnamon mix cools (in about half an hour).

If you are googling for ‘free weight loss patch’ then you must be searching for a way to lose weight by using weight loss patches that offer free trial.

This means that you do not pay for the patches (they are totally free) but you must pay as little as a couple of bucks for shipping. You will probably use the weight loss patches for one week (usually that’s how long free trials last); you will see the promising results (curbed appetite, more energy, etc.) and will return for reorder of a full pack (usually for one to six months).

At least that’s the way it works for most of our customers who have tried the one week free trial of Hoodia Weight Loss Patch. If you wanna give it a try, you can do it immediately at Hoodia Diet Patch official website.

So you want to lose weight and want to know how many calories you should eat in order to achieve that:

First of all let’s remind us the number of calories contained in fats, proteins and carbohydrates:

1 gram of fat = 9 kilocalories ~ 37 kilojoules

1 gram of protein = 4 kilocalories ~ 16 kilojoules

1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 kilocalories ~ 16 kilojoules

And some more calorie values:

1 gram of alcohol = 7 kilocalories

1 gram of dietary fiber = 3 kilocalories

Having all these values in mind you can easily calculate the number of calories in food you eat every day. And how much calories you need a day is another question:

How to estimate your daily caloric needs

You can estimate your daily caloric intake with the Harris-Benedict formula. It helps you calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR), i.e. the optimum amount of energy your body needs to function.

Let’s calculate your BMR

To do that you need to use your current weight, height and age in step ONE. It’s easy:

This is not a joke but a real British research conducted among 20 000 healthy British men and women from 1993 to 1997.

Participants were asked about their lifestyles and also have their blood tested, as well as their Vitamin C intake measured (Vitamin C is an indicator of how much fruit and vegetables people ate). All participants were middle-aged and older (45-79).

Here are the four small changes you need to do in order to improve your health and add 14 more years to your life:

1. Quit smoking
2. Eat fruits and vegetables - 5 servings every day
3. Exercise regularly
4. Moderate drinking

Quit smoking comes first as it has the greatest benefit - it gives up to 80 percent improvement in your overall health condition. Second is the fruits and vegetables consumption as it has the second great benefit to prolong your life.

Moderate drinking and exercising regularly have equal benefits and both share the third position. However, they are listed that way to keep the list simpler and clearer. This way you’d remember you have four things to pay attention to in order to change your lifestyle, not just three and to skip number 4 because it’s equal to number 3.

It’s well known that today’s secret of most men and women for successful weight loss and maintenance is the Medifast weight loss program.

Its most popular and effective meal plan is the Medifast 5 & 1 weight loss plan that helps you lose weight quickly and safely - up to 20 lbs. in 30 days.

Let’s reveal the secrets of Medifast Diet meal plan to successful weight loss:

5 & 1 diet meal plan

Typical weight loss of 2 to 5 pounds per week while on 5 and 1 diet meal plan. The calorie count varies between 800 to 1000 per day and is recommended for most people who really want to lose weight.

Each day you eat 5 Medifast meals plus 1 “lean and green” meal. It is better to plan them 2 to 3 hours apart throughout the whole day – do not left all for the evening.

You can use any of the Medifast products to plan your own diet meals. However, the Medifast team offers you a list of example 5 & 1 meal plans, which you can download from their download section.

Losing 20 pounds within a month is fast enough, that is why I think Medifast weight loss doesn’t really need to be speeded up. However you can speed up the weight loss process by following some simple rules. I am not the inventor of these rules; I just collected the information to offer it to you into digestible chunks.

Rule Number 1 – Avoid all tempting snacks and replace them with Medifast diet products

“Leave the chocolates alone and have a Medifast Chocolate Pudding instead, or a Medifast Hot Cocoa.”

That’s what Julie advises in her blog at Medifast official website. I could just add: or a Medifast chocolate bar.

As Valentine’s Day passed not long ago, and I’m sure you were so tempted to eat at least couple of yummy chocolates, right? My point is you should avoid tempting sweets and replace them with Medifast diet products every time you can. They are just as sweet and delicious as the original sweet products they replace.

Rule Number 2 – Set up small achievable goals. (more…)

These 5 useful tips on how to stick to your Medifast diets are the result of my research on how people feel and cope with their own Medifast diet plans.

You will definitely like the complexity of feelings and emotions people share in their Medifast success stories. Their motivation is remarkable:

Tip 1 – Just getting started!

If you are not following the Medifast diet plan, please do not say that it can’t help YOU or you don’t have time for such diets, or you just can’t do it.

Whatever your social engagements are, or wherever you go, just bring your Medifast diet products with you. Order a hot water in a soup bowl and spoon, poor your “secret” powder soup or pudding into it and your meal is ready!

Do not feel embarrassed - no body will stare at you, or if they do it’s just out of curiosity.

Tip 2 - Don’t give up from the first week

Do not give up just because of the first week’s hard times. The Medifast is not hard or impossible to follow. Quite the contrary - it is an easy to follow weight loss program that takes just a few days to turn into a pleasant everyday routine. (more…)

I can’t believe I haven’t noticed this “amazing weight loss product” before. 15 out of 23 people, who have written reviews about this product at drugstore, really liked it and shared amazing and almost miraculous weight loss and energy boost results.

At first I couldn’t believe myself. Just take a look at the name of that product: NV Rapid Weight Loss Dietary Supplement, it sounds a little like exaggerated keyword for SE optimization and weight loss advertising, doesn’t it? It doesn’t sound like a real name and definitely doesn’t say what’s inside that fancy red package.

Let’s stop being negative and look through the product details, ingredients, benefits and side effects, as well as see what people are saying about this rapid weight loss dietary supplement: (more…)

As a matter of fact, I can’t stay from 14 to 30 days in a weight loss clinic or visit a weight loss center 3 times per week to lose weight. May be it works well for some of us, but I prefer the same foods delivered to my home or office at a low cost. (more…)
