Weight Loss Info Center

Wow!  I never thought I’d heard that coming from a manufacturer of a diet pill!  I just found this article Weight Loss Pill Not Magic Bullet: Drug Maker, so says GlaxoSmithKline.

I thought this was fitting seeing how someone just asked the other day, “Is there a pill that will let me eat what I want whenever I want and still lose weight?”  Don’t we ALL wish?!  Come on, folks, weight loss isn’t rocket science, but it does take some work and there is no “magic pill,” out there; even the manufacturers are stating that!

Wonder what GSK is up to, though?  They’re spending massive amounts of money (millions and this is their biggest campaing in terms of $$$ spent in the lifetime of the company!) just on the marketing of this new pill called Alli, yet they’re admitting it’s not some miraculous pill and that users only lost an additional 2 to 3 lbs. per every 5 lbs. lost through diet and exercise.  But at what expense are folks losing the extra 2 to 3 lbs.?  Well, the side effects are gastrointestinal problems, including leakages and oily discharge??

No thanks!

Ha!  Thought that would get your attention!

“I’m” not really getting a face lift, but the main site for this blog is!  I made a few changes today.  Nothing drastic and nothing overly creative - I changed the header on the pages so far, but there will be more changes coming, plus current weight loss information, tips, tools, and much more.  So stay tuned!

There’s been a study published by researchers at Stanford University that states that out of 4 low-carb diet plans, Atkins was the best for weight loss and long-term maintenance. 

For many years, low carb has been frowned upon, especially the Atkins diet, because our bodies need carbs - we have to have them for many reasons, the most important being for brain function.  Restricting carbs too low is dangerous and has made people very ill.

So is low carb the way to go?  Maybe.  There are certain folks who are sensitive to carbs (myself being one), but what I am noticing is it’s the “bad” carbs that I am sensitive too, that make me feel hung over in the morning if I eat them the day before and also make me feel fuzzy headed and unable to concentrate.  When I choose “good” carbs, I feel fantastic!  I do not suggest restricting carbs to 20 grams per day, which the Atkins diet does for the first 2 weeks, but do cut some carbs or switch to good carbs from bad and I think you will see that losing weight is a lot easier.
