     hey... janet here.. hopefully my own personally story can be of some guidance/help to you..

     I'm 5'8 and at the time I was about 220 lbs.. and was trying real hard to lose weight for almost 8 months... i just had a baby girl at the time.. and during my pregnancy i gained a tonnnn of weight and much of it stuck with me after she was born, and the hubby began getting on my case and bothering me non stop about my new weight problem... so after a few months of that, it really started getting to me, plus summer was about to get here- and i love the beach! So i decided to try and do something about it...

     ive since tried almost every diet system out there... the standard eat less-exercise more change lifestyle diet, south beach, atkins, slimfast, weight watchers, etc... I also tried taking many different weight loss supplements.. and overall nothing has really worked well for me.... But i came across this diet program >> http://www.fatloss.pcti-system.com .. which a couple of my girlfriends put me onto, and it worked amazing for me like nothing else has.

     Right now I'm only 180 lbs.. I'm still overweight but I've already lost 40 pounds and I'm well on my way to my goal of 160 lbs.. I hope i was of some help.. I wish you all the best of luck!

     The most important vitamins and minerals for weight loss are: Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Choline (part of B-complex), Inositol (part of B-complex), and Vitamin C.

     Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
     Like B2, vitamin B3 is essential for normal thyroid hormone production. Vitamin B3 is also part of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF) which is released every time blood sugar rises. Good food sources of Vitamin B3 include: Wheat bran, liver, tuna, turkey, chicken, meat, eggs, mackerel, salmon, oats, barley, wheatflakes, cheese, dried fruit, brown rice.
     Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)
     Any deficiency of Vitamin B5 interferes with our capacity to utilise fat. Vitamin B5 also plays an important role in energy production and assists adrenal function. Good food sources of Vitamin B5 include: liver and kidney, meat, poultry, nuts, wheatflakes, wheat bran, wheatgerm, eggs, molasses, oats, barley, beans, wholegrain bread, green vegetables.
     Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
     Vitamin B6 regulates the production of thyroid hormone and metabolism. Good food sources of Vitamin B6, brewer's yeast, wheat bran, wheatgerm, oats, sardines, mackerel, poultry, beef, avocado, bananas, brown rice, cabbage, dried fruit, molasses, eggs.

      Fruit and vegetables are essential of course but other food groups are required.

16. QUESTION:
    Do you know any safe weight loss supplements/vitamins?
    I am very iffy about using weight loss pills, but I am trying to lose weight as quickly as possible. I am going to the gym and jogging/walking 2miles/day (starting out). I don't really need weight loss "pills" I guess, kind of searching for more of an energy vitamin that lowers metabolism or won't make you hungry? idk, any suggestions?!
    BAHAHAHA my bad.

    INCREASE metabolism ***

    • ANSWER:
      Do not resort to weight loss pills or any fad diets..
      They do not work in the long term. They cause your body to adapt in unhealthy ways mostly causing your body to lose water weight and muscle mass. Which will indeed slow your metabolism down. However I dont know why you want to slow your metabolism. I think you mean increase metabolism.

      As you see increased metabolism is what helps increase energy expenditure causing more calories to be used during the day.
      These days everyone is looking for a quick weight loss solution.. and really there is non there are quick weight loss solutions however they are only short term and I can guarantee the weight lost will be put back on right after you turn back to your normal diet.

      There is no secret to weight loss, it is just really difficult the answer is healthy eating and more exercise. If your hungry eat fruits, Try to cut down on junk food and you should never starve yourself. If your hungry eat healthy snacks.

      I hope this helped. good luck

    i need specifics like Vitamin B12, Vitamin A, etc and what each one is for and how much is good for aan average 18yo
    thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Amino Acids, Minerals and Antioxidants then Essential fatty acids to absorb it all.

      Whey protein shakes before you exercise is good. Then focusing on the right kind of exercise.

      Foods to eat to get these nutrients are:

      Lentils, Garbanzo Beans, Black Beans, Kidney Beans Pinto Beans combined with Brown Rice (the real stuff not the died stuff).

      Lean meats that have not been grown with growth hormones that would interfere with your own hormonal development - organic meats, halal or kosher meats are generally more healthier options of animal protein.

      2oz of low fat cheeses (again organic as they don't contain fake hormones).

      Avocados, Flax Oil, Olive Oil, Walnuts, Almonds, Hazel Nuts, Salmon, Mackerl, Sardines, Tuna.

      Lots of organic vegetables as they don't contain GE or as much chemical pollutants that can interfere with hormone development.

I know I am building muscles and weight will increase, but I still feel that I am not losing the weight I could be losing. I am taking vitamin B but I was wondering if there were any other good weight loss supplements to take?

    • ANSWER:
      There are no vitamins or supplements that will help you lose weight. If you keep to a well balanced healthy diet then you will take in everything you need on those lines.

      Count the calories, spread out the meals to keep your appetite in control drink enough water and exercise. Doing this will lose you weight.

      There are plenty of places to find out recommended calorie needs etc.

      Avoid extreme diet like Atkins. These do leave you short of essentials. And moreover they are often boring and therefore hard to stick to.

29. QUESTION:
    Best vitamins for weight loss?
    Hi I'm trying to lose about 15-20 pounds and get into Great shape. I exercise daily and try to eat healthy but I would like to incorporate a weight loss, appetite suppressing metabolism boosting vitamin into my daily routine. I tried to buy acaitrim at Walgreen's but got carded. I'm only 17, but turing 18 very soon. So what vitamin can I but that will help with my weight loss?

    • ANSWER:
      I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

      Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

      First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...

      This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.

      However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

      Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

30. QUESTION:
    Will Taking Multi-Vitamins Help With Weight Loss?
    Last year my doctor put me on a multi-vitamin due to the fact that I have a low iron level. The multi-vitamin he suggested was One a Day's Complete, which has 100% of most of the vitamins your body needs. I was just wondering if these would be beneficial in my weight loss process, or if it wouldn't really affect it.

    • ANSWER:
      No, but they can still play an important part in ensuring that you are getting all of the vitamins and minerals that you require. When your body is getting all the nutrients it needs, it functions better. A benefit would be feeling more energetic and therefore maybe more willing to hit the gym. Vitamins don't affect weight loss whereas a proper diet, weight and cardio training are the main (and healthiest ways) to boost your metabolism. This will help you to burn calories more efficiently.

      The APPLE PATCH

      http://www.1applepatchdiet.com

      Contains 3 natural ingredients:
      Garcinia Cambogia - hydroxycitric acid extract, which inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase that helps turns excess carbohydrates into fat
      Guarana Extract - Seeds that contain caffeine to help increase energy.
      Fucus Vesiculosus - Brown seaweed, which stimulates metabolic rate, and promote weight loss)

      The patch uses a delivery method allowing the skin to absorb the elements within the patch at CONSISTENT levels over several hours. Unlike pills which must be taken several times a day, the transdermal patch method requires only a single application EVERY 3 Days. The patch is discreet and no one has to know you are on a diet.

36. QUESTION:
    Weight-loss and vitamins?
    I am on a fairly structured weight loss regimen. My dietary requirements are pretty much full of vitamin filled foods - i.e. fruits and vegetables at every meal with some form of protein like chicken, turkey, fish or pork. Is it necessary to to supplement with a vitamin pill daily? If so, what is recommended? A multivitamin or something targeted more toward my age, gender and health status.

    • ANSWER:
      It might not be necessary to take a multi vitamin but I take one as an insurance policy. It sounds like your diet is well rounded but it still couldn't hurt to take a basic multi vitamin just to make sure you have all your bases covered. I wouldn't really be concerned with all the specialty vitamins because there is really no reason or benefit and the cost is going to be double. I would recommend taking a good basic vitamin that has 100% of all the vitamins and minerals. Hope that helps!

    Vitamins or minerals to help weight loss?
    are there any particular vitamins or minerals i can take on my own to help support and possibly accelerate weight loss?

    My Doctor recommends weight loss but with out prescription

    HELP!!!!
    PLEASE

    • ANSWER:
      Whenever you are trying to lose weight, you should concentrate on these three things which all work together in providing a healthier and quicker weight loss goal for yourself. I have found this combination really successful in my weight loss plans. The first thing is exercising and how much you can put forth into it. The more you exercise, the more results you will see. The next thing is dieting and the calorie intake. If you exercise more, technically you could eat more? Always watch what you eat.

      Now the last step in a good weight loss plan is always a good diet pill that can help you get to the end of the road. I have found Proactol which is a natural herbal diet pill to be the best around. It's an appetite suppressant along with being a fat blocker which stops up to 28% of fat you eat. Read up about it at TheWeightLossPlace .com where I saved money on it. Proactol really works well with exercising which gives you plenty of energy to perform. Along with that your diet will be affected by Proactol due to the appetite suppressant and fat blocker. If you slip up on meals, the fat blocker kicks in. It's really great to stop food cravings.

      Concentrate on those three things and the combination is deadly for the fat cells in your body. Good luck and I hope this helps.

    • ANSWER:
      To be honest you are going to have a hard time sticking to that. Going to that extreme is not necessary and what you are trying to do is find a happy place to live(nutritionally speaking). THink about using these tips.....

      Step 1: Find out what your basal metabolic rate is. Goto http://health.discovery.com/tools/calculators/basal/basal.html
      This is the amount of calories you need to eat to maintain your current weight.

      Step 2: Do you exercise? Do you exercise right? Exercising right means that you monitor your heart rate and make sure that you reach your target heart rate and maintain it for the longest period of time while exercising. You have two targets a fat burn zone and an cardiovascular zone. The fat burn is usually 60% of your maximum an d is easier to achieve and maintain and if your goal is weight loss this is where you want to be. Just walking/excising is a good start but if you want to get the most out of your work out find out what your target range is. If you don't belong to a gym then I recommend the
      Polar Fitness F11 Heart Monitor Watch.

      Step 3: You need to decrease your caloric intake or increase the amount of calories your body uses in a day by 500 calories a day for a week to lose 1 pound. So you can decrease that basal number you got in step 1 by 500 calories and exercise very little(yes you still need to exercise). Or you can decrease it by 250 and exercise off 250 calories or any other combination. Remember that your basal number is the amount of calories you body needs to live. If your number were 2400 then your body burn 100 calories per hour. So if you walk for half an hour and burn 300, 50 of that is your basal.

      Step 4: Count your calories, it's not hard and you'll find out that you eat a lot of the same things on a daily basis so you won't have to research everything over and over again. Balance what you eat(equal parts carbs and protien whenever possible) . One of the best websites out there is one from the FDA. http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/
      This database has almost every food on the planet counted and weighed. (Hint: they do a lot of their weights based on 100grams. If you put 0.28 in the serving size this equals 1 ounce). Get a reliable food scale, preferably digital. Weigh everything that you put in your mouth that is not prepackaged. You need to know what you’re eating and how much you’re eating. The number one mistake is "eating healthy". Everyone thinks because it's "healthy" the portion isn't that important. A handful of peanuts is "healthy" and has nearly 250 calories! Eat enough calories and it won’t matter how "healthy" it is your going to gain weight.

      Step 5: Adjustments and Variety. If you are doing your best and losing weight but your starving, increase the amount of calories your giving yourself by 100-200 calories a day. Losing weight and starving are not good bedfellows. If you starve eventually you will crack and lose the battle. The more types of exercises you do the more weight you will lose. You will work more muscles and keep your body guessing.

      Step 6(optional): If you belong to a gym or have some free weights at home. Use them! Muscle takes up less space in your body than fat (pound for pound). A pound of fat sits around and does nothing all day, while a pound of muscle, even at rest burns calories(increasing your basal metabolic rate).

      GL!

43. QUESTION:
    Weight loss pills or vitamins?
    Do you know of any good pills that don't just make you lose water weight? or Are there any vitamins that promote weight loss? I really need to lose weight and i need just a little help on top of my dieting and exercise..

    • ANSWER:
      Check out the link at the bottom of this page. This is my tried and true weight loss program.
      Here's a serious answer. I hope it helps.

      *If want to get fit and/or lose weight, here's my Weight Loss Program through Body Building and Nutrition. It works! First, don't Use Diet Pills. They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or they are addictive. Counting calories is a pain in the neck. It will drive you nuts. But, losing weight is simple. You just have to do the right things.
      *(If you are older and have not exercised in many years you should see your doctor and have a stress test done to be sure your heart is ok before starting this program. Also, walking eveyday is a good lifelong practice.)
      *Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle. Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have 25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just aren't worth the bother.
      *Fasting or skipping meals will teach your body that famine is common in your world and your body will begin to store more fat to get you through the next period when food is not available. It's better to eat healthy foods often to teach your body that food is plentiful and that there is no need to store calories as fat. Eat a vegetablw or frui every
      two hours.
      *Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference the first month.
      *Here's another trick that works. For every pound of muscle that you add, your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat every day. That means that just by having an extra pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of fat every day! So, add muscle!
      *This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle. Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days; squats one day, pushups the next. And you do them SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the muscles quickly. Then you rest the muscles for 48 hours which gives the body a chance to make new muscles.
      *Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the way to the floor. Pushups the with palms shoulder width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle group you are trying to develop. If you are too weak to do pushups, try them with your knees on the floor or do them with your feet on the floor and your hands an the bed.
      *The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3 times and you're done for the day. The following day, don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way, going down twice as slow as you come up.
      *You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to 7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut out anything that comes in a bag, box, can, bottle or any kind of package. In other words, cut out all processed foods, soft drinks and sweets. Eat more grains and less red meat. Check out the Food Pyramid.
      *If you really want to give your body the best possible chance to be healthy and fat free, go to infinity2.com and order their weight loss formula and Essentials for Life. That will give you all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that your body needs and will keep you feeling better and healthier. They also have a Proteabolic Mass Formula for serious athletes who want to build muscle mass quickly and
      safely.
      *Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for a week. You will notice a difference. You will feel better and that will motivate you to continue.
      *Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is impossible. You can't just lose weight around the belly, for instance. So, if you want tight, rippled abs, do crunches and leg raises every other day the way I described above.
      *One last point, stretching is essential for a number of reasons. Pick up a copy of ''Stretching'' by Bob Anderson. Read the intro and understand his reasoning before you do the exercisis. Good luck!
      *This information is based on my personal and professional experience.
      *Check these links:

44. QUESTION:
    Can anything aid in my weight loss? Supplements, certain foods, vitamins?

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I have been reading up on the acai berry myself. The acai berry's natural combination of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, phytosterols, and amino acids work together to assit your body and make it function better. Your body will process food more easily and burn fat more efficiently.
      The acai berry has around twenty times the antioxidants of red grapes. It is a wonderful protein, and has a large amount of dietary fiber. The fats contained in the acai berry are healthy omega fats.
      The acai berry is loaded with amino acids, which muscles need to function properly and benefit from exercise. These amino acids combined with fatty acids allow the body to burn fat more effectively and help tone your muscles.

      I have found the following informational site very informative - http://www.acai-health-diet.com.

45. QUESTION:
    What vitamins would be good for health/digestion and weight loss? There is so much choice?
    I would like to start taking some natural vitamins for my general health, maybe to help with my digestion, and maybe to help me loose weight...but I just do not know where to start. There are so many to choose from. What could I take to tackle all these factors? And I dont want to be taking about 10 tablets a day...I just want to be healthy. Looking at the Holland and Barrett Website, there is so much choice...HELP! x

    • ANSWER:
      Hi ,

      I take Arbonne Hybrid for woman. They are vitamin packs and they have an amazing ORAC value for the antioxidants. they have minerals, calcium, and are made with special stuff for digestion. Arbonne only sells them through their consultants, but you can sign up as a consultant and purchase with a discount. No other purchase requirements. Just like having a Sams Club membership.
      Email me and look at my profile if you want more information. I would be happy to send you their complete details.

46. QUESTION:
    What are some good vitamins to take to help with weight loss?
    I take a teen girls multivitamin (I'm 16), a super B-complex vitamin (I'm vegan), and weight management fiber choice tablets.

    • ANSWER:
      Taking multivitamins won't help that much. Maybe if you take a meal replacements it might a little however if you planning to go that route I think taking herbs is safe for a teen but ask your doctor regardless if herbs are safe. Research Proactol or go to the site I provided below and search for the link that says Proactol. There are other pills however I think Proactol does the job as the combination of herbs contained in Proactol bind to fat as your eat and then throw them away. Check it out for yourself.

47. QUESTION:
