2. QUESTION:
   Diet Supplements that help aid weight loss?
   I eat healthy and exercise. I eat roughly 1800 calories and exercise religiously. But I'm not getting the results I want. It's not like I'm not trying hard enough; I'm eating 6 tinier portioned meals a day spaced roughly 2-3 hours apart, exercising as much as I can and making sure sweets don't make it passed the front door of my house. I've been doing this for months now, but I think it has more to do with my lovely female hormones and my body's amazing ability to bloat beyond one's belief. What are some dietary supplements that are effective in getting more out of your workout and diet change? I don't want something that will cause serious side effects, like most diet pills. Please rate them from best to worst.

   • ANSWER:
     Have you tried Hoodia Gordonii? Hoodia Gordonii is a weight loss herb discovered
     by the San tribesman of Africa, Hoodia Gordonii actually contains a special molecule
     that fools your brain into believing you are full .

     Hoodia is the most famous appetite suppressant but you have to be
     careful to ensure you only choose pure Hoodia from South Africa.

     For generations, the nomadic Sans tribe have used Hoodia Gordonii to suppress their appetite.

     The media became interested when a UK based firm called Phytopharm researched the
     plant and isolated the active ingredient which they called P57.

     This was then licensed to Pfizer who subsequently sold it to Unilever.

     Clinical studies have shown that pure dried Hoodia Gordonii powder can:
     reduce food intake by half, reduce calorie intake by up to 2,000 calories per day.

     P57 is 10,000 stronger than glucose at suppressing the appetite thus significantly reduces body fat

     You MUST be careful when buying Hoodia on the internet however.

   Due to getting answers only from people trying to sell me weight loss drugs that I do not need, I must once again post this question and hope for the best!

   ***Please read all of the information alone before posting an answer, and please do not post anything unhelpful or rude, AND ABSOLUTELY NO ADDS***

   I have hyperthyroidism, not hypothyroidism, and I'm on medication (atenolol) to slow my heart rate which gets quite high when I'm not on my medication. I had a little sniffle a few months back and was warned against certain over the counter medications because they would counteract the atenolol and raise my heart rate.

   A friend of mine just joined a gym and signed me up as part of her group. I would like to do a bit of exercise to counteract the possible weight gain I might experience due to my thyroid medication. However I'm worried about raising my heart rate since I'm on medication to slow it.

   I enjoy walking and some light swimming, I'd like to check out the exercise machines the gym offers and even though I'm not the type to act like I'm in an Olympic race I can sometimes go a little overboard (my usual "walking" pace would probably be considered more of a power walk, or even a light jog if I lifted my legs higher, since I don't much like going slowly).

   So, should I stay with the light stuff or am I safe with a bit of cardio? Do I have to worry about working myself to hard? What other exercises are possible if I do have to worry?

   (Posts from other people with hyperthyroidism, or even hypothyroidism, and health professionals are preferred, but posts from anyone who knows what I'm trying to say are very welcome)

   • ANSWER:
     I don't have hyper or hypothyroidism but do have a friend with the same conditions as you and faces the same dilemma. I would chat to your doctor about what a safe range for your heart rate is as you and my friend are different people and so what works for her is not necessarily right for you.

     She manages the weight gain associated with the drugs using swimming and walking mainly (she out walks me most days ) If you know the safe range and go to a gym, talk to the instructor about ways to monitor your heart rate while you exercise (our gym has treadmills and things that takes your pulse through the handles so you get regular feedback) and just monitor your pace to stay within a good range.

     You may find that the risk is not from a higher heart rate during exercise where your heart has an opportunity to return to normal after half an hour to an hour of exercise but from a prolonged elevated heart rate caused by the drugs where it can not return to a 'normal' rate.

     Either way, 'listen' to what your body is telling you, you will feel it if you are over doing things.

4. QUESTION:
   weight Loss for Military Service?
   Thank you all for reading this question and taking the time to answer. My question is I am trying to lose about 40 lbs of fat and get into shape for military ( reserve) boot camp by May 2010. I am 5'7 and I weight about 217lbs( lost 10 lbs) in past three weeks. I have started to exercise daily and here is my program. Every gym sessions lasts about 2 hours.
   Mon- Chest and triceps ( 4 sets and min 6-8 reps per exercise) + 1 Hour Cardio ( ski machine - heart rate about 150)
   Tues- Back and biceps ( same as above) + 1 Hour cardio ( same as above)
   Wed- Legs+ 1 Hour cardio( same as above)
   Thurs- Shoulders( 4 sets min 6-8 reps per exercise) + 1 hour cardio ( ski machine)
   Fri- Back ( 4 sets min 6-8 reps per exercise) + 1 Hour cardio( ski machine heart rate 150).
   Sat - rest Cardio only 1 hour ( heart rate 150)
   Sun- no exercise.
   Sleep- 6- 8 hours but sometimes hard because working two jobs and hours are crazy, but trying my best.

   Diet- High protein, low healthy carbs ( oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, just before working out) + supplements ( vitamins), and only water to drink, maybe one coffee to get me up in the morning. Meals are about six meals a day ( ie)
   Monday- breakfast - salmon burger(2) egg whites(2) bottle of water,coffee (black), small portion of walnuts
   snack( 4 hours later) break bar known as Cliff bar+ water
   Lunch: Grilled Lamb+ whole wheat pasta or my favorite bowl of Oatmeal with blueberries and skim milk+_water.
   ( carbs only before workout and never before sleep)
   snack ( after gym) Break bar or protein shake+ water
   Dinner: Grilled turkey or my favorite salmon steaks( only steamed, baked or grilled)
   Now my questions are I know this can be improved on? I only did this because this a plan I use to use when I studied Judo, and it did help. But that was 20 years ago, and things have changed. Ultimate goal is a weight around 170 and BMI less than 20%, since military chart says I am overwieght. If anyone has any comments of any help with this program which could speed up my weight loss, that would be greatly appreciated. Please no special weight loss drinks that only screw with your metabolism, all natural all the way, PLEASE. Thank you all in advance, for your help.
   again please Kenzie and all I do not want a super special diet berry that only I must buy. And you have cure to all my ailments I do not believe in that and think it is a waste of time.

   • ANSWER:
     Your current program has nothing for core / abs. You need to exercise this if you want to avoid chronic conditions such as back problems.

     Doing 6-8 reps per set for an exercise is for increasing strength, and not for weight loss. What you should be looking at is between 15 and 20 reps per set, with a weight that will make the 20th rep almost impossible to lift.

     Also, since you're training for weight loss, you don't need to stagger your body parts over 5 days. Do Chest and back on day 1, shoulders and core on day 2, and legs and arms (biceps and triceps) on day 3.

     Remember to do a short warm up and stretch routine before you start with the weights, and do your cardio after wards. Try and get a bit of variation into your cardio, as doing the same thing every day will cause you to lose effectiveness. Use the treadmill, stationary bike, etc as well.
