Is Liver Dysfunction One of Hoodia Cactus Side Effects?

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

There are some possible hoodia cactus side effects that you need to think about before you actually start taking it. By knowing what Hoodia diet pill side effects are possible, you’ll know what to expect and what to do about them.In fact, there are some potentially serious hoodia diet side effects you should consider.

Potential Side Effects

Bloating is one of the most common hoodia cactus side effects. The hoodia benefit that helps you feel full is the same thing that makes you feel bloated. People who take these supplements have also reported having headaches. A headache is fine if you just experience it now and again, typically right after taking a Hoodia pill.With all the appetite suppressants out there it’s difficult to make an educated decision. Hoodia Gordonii Plus has been the the number one name in pure Hoodia Gordonii and continues to remain the highest quality Hoodia product on the market.

However if you start feeling migraines constantly or you notice that they are all the time, you are going to want to stop taking the Hoodia extract until you talk to your doctor. Your doctor will run a few tests to determine the cause of the headaches and to determine whether or not you should continue to take the hoodia supplements.

You will probably be able to keep taking them, but you just want to be sure you aren’t doing any damage to your body.

There is still ongoing research on the hoodia extract as a diet supplement. It is an effective weight loss tool, but if you take too much it can be dangerous, even lethal. If you know what hoodia cactus side effects to expect, you won’t be caught off guard if you start experience them.

Always make sure you use the appropriate amount of hoodia. Using more than directed is not going to get you better or faster results. The only result you are going to get is increased hoodia cactus side effects that could potentially hurt your body.

Also make sure that if you are pregnant or nursing that you talk to your doctor first before taking any of these pills just to make sure that you are not going to be putting yourself or your baby at risk.

Green Tea Diet Benefits And Disadvantages

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

There is caffeine in green tea so for all the other benefits claimed if you avoid caffeine then it may not be your cup of tea. Green tea is no different so if you have conditions where caffeine might affect you in a negative way you might be wise to avoid it. Changes to your diet may bring complications so if you have any health concerns you should consult with your doctor and be advised by them.

What are the benefits of green tea for dieting and why should we consider drinking green tea? One very bold claim made for green tea is that it could be an aid in the fight against Alzheimers disease and if this proves to be true it would be wonderful news. According to reports of a study in the UKchemicals that attack the brain are inhibited by some of the ingredients in green tea.

Keeping flu at bay is one of the claims made by green tea drinkers and their experience suggests it does help. There are some of the opinion that by drinking green tea you help encourage the gamma-delta T cells to increase your immunity to flu and other similar viruses. You can find one remarkable ingredient within green tea. This is supposed to trigger those T cells to secrete a remarkable 10 times their normal output of virus-battling interferon.

Some people gargle with green tea in the belief that this coats their oral membranes with one of the beneficial ingredients of green tea. This is the catechins, and these are believed to be what successfully neutralizes the vicious virus.

Including green tea in a normal diet has enabled some people to enjoy significant weight loss. It is thought that green tea may help increase the body’s metabolic rate and has even been suggested that it helps with the oxidization of body fat. Remarkably, it appears to do this while not increasing heart rate. It can be damaging to the heart if it can’t cope with an increased heart rate so if this is true and heart rate is not increased that could be very significant.

The balance of energy for your body has you consuming energy in food and burning it off in heat and exercise so when you use more energy than you consume you lose weight. This would mean that green tea diets give a big help for those who struggle to reduce their weight by other methods.

One more thing that we should not forget about green tea is that it is a very enjoyable drink to consume. Green tea is a very enjoyable drink so you may not care about the claimed health benefits but you will still enjoy drinking it.

What weight loss supplements can people with Bipolar condition take?

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

I would like to know specifically what supplements to help aid weight loss for Bipolar people on weight gaining Bipolar medication (which slows the metabolism and increases appetitite)

I already know of Green Tea to speed up metabolism and suppress appetite and Acai Berry DOES help you look a bit thinner in the face and relieves minimal bloat if taken moderately.

What other supplements are safe?

I want as much help as i can get!
Thanks!

I understand the problem with meds and weight gain. Going through it myself. However, I would not risk any supplement etc. This is because they may have something in them that could trigger a manic state. Supplements are not required to be tested by the FDA and we don't always know what is in these supplements and what might trigger an exacerbation in our symptoms. I do agree with the other poster about exercise. It is sooooo hard to do. I seriously have problems with staying motivated but my 15 year old (also bipolar) excercises everyday and she actually weighs less AND she eats whatever she wants. She just gets a lot of excercise and it works. Hope that helps.

How much weight did you lose on meridia?

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Im 20 years old currently obese and I got put on the 15mg pills. How much weight did you lose? How much weight can I expect to lose since im so young? I know it’s easier to lose weight at a younger age than older. Ive lost like 15 lbs in almost a month already. Im not exercising or even dieting. Just eating half of what I used to. Will this continue or can i expect it to slow down?

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.

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.

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

Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

Weight Loss Pills Could Have Heavy Price

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

WONG:
And next… weight loss, but at what price?

The cost could be heavy for some consumers who’ve sought the aid of so-called “natural” diet pills from China.

In an ongoing investigation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration—or F.D.A.—is expanding its list of potentially dangerous weight-loss pills. It found that some manufacturers—mostly from China—were adding pharmaceutical drugs to these pills to make them more potent. The labels didn’t tell consumers what they’d added—and that makes it illegal.

Doctors say some of these drugs can have severe side effects. And because these ingredients are undeclared, or not fully identified, such problems could be hard to diagnose.

The F.D.A. continues to investigate the tainted pills. It’s still unknown who was responsible for the dangerous drugs.

Phentermine alternative - Proactol herbal weight loss pill

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

http://hubpages.com/hub/Herbal-Phentermine-Alternative

Phentermine does work but it’s packed with side effects, like any other synthetic weight loss pill.

The number of negative side effects from Phentermine is astounding: increased heart rate, insomnia, headaches, diarrhoea, plus its recognition as a ‘controlled substance’. Let’s be honest, why is Phentermine still being sold?

In 1997 for example, it was discovered that 24 cases of heart valve disease were reported in Phentermine users, and a further 30% of their prescribers were found to have abnormal valves.

Proactol is a patented fiber complex. It’s working ingredient is extracted from “opuntia ficus” a species of cactus. It’s juice tricks the brain into thinking you’re full eliminating the unpleasant starving sensation when going through a diet.

Proactol is clinically proven to bind up to 28% of your dietary fat intake, suppress your appetite and decrease food cravings.
