An Attempt To Lose Weight


Let me start by saying that I'm nowhere near obese. I don't consider myself fat. However, I felt like it would be nice to lose a few pounds just for the trouble of it. My target--lose at least five(5) pounds in a month's time. With the schedule that I have, it's impossible to go to the gym, and do some exercise. So I decided to look for some weight loss pills that I can take that will aid me in my pursuit of shedding off a few pounds--be a guinea pig for a while. There's a lot of weight loss pills out there, but I don't necessarily trust them. But the one that I decided on trying was a weight loss product shared to me by a trusted friend. I actually started taking it about a month ago. I will not specify the name of the product but I'll give away a few hints just for the curious reader. The product is manufactured in Japan. That alone is a plus because most Japanese products have high quality standards. These are the ingredients supposedly contained in each weight loss pill: korean ginseng, lotus leaf, ginko biloba, hoodia gordonii. The pill claims to contain none of these: wheat, gluten, yeast, preservatives, salt, corn, soya, sugar, caffeine, artificial colors and flavorings. And these are the instructions: 1) Take the pill twice a day; 2) drink plenty of water; 3) eat one(banana) each day. So I did just as instructed.

How was it? After taking the pill, I felt extreme thirst all the time so it wasn't really hard to drink plenty of water. Somehow the pill made me feel full all the time too, so just so I don't get a stomach ulcer, I ate small portions at constant intervals. The pill did give me the feeling of restlessness, as if there's too much energy flowing from inside of me. I think the ginseng and the ginko biloba did it. But I didn't mind it. It gave me an extra burst of energy that I could use to remain active during the day.

Side effects? It was easy to lose sleep if I took the pill a little later during the day than I should. Other than that, there really weren't any unpleasant surprises.

The verdict! Before I can even finish off my 30-day supply, I lost a total of seven (7) pounds in a month's time.

Conclusion: I've tried other weight loss products before but none of them delivered the goods. This one lived up to its promise. I was delighted with the result. Nevertheless, I will say that, there's no substitute to a well-balanced diet and exercise to keeping ourselves healthy. This weight loss product maybe effective, but who knows what its long-term side effect will be. But thanks to it, I can now slip into my size 5 jeans.

Destination Cebu: Learn the Language Overnight with the Easiest Visayan Language Tutorial There Is!

It is no joke when you have to travel to other worldly destinations and the first hurdle you need to overcome is the language barrier.  Is it possible to be ready to mingle and interact with the locals armed with your spoken language whether it be English, German, Finnish, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, or whichever language you speak? The answer is an unequivocal, YES.  It is absolutely possible especially in Cebu and the Philippine islands in general, for you to explore the islands even without knowing a single spoken word in the locale since English is considered a second language.  Thus, most everyone know and understand English. But if you have the chance to be equipped and be readily able to speak the language which you could potentially use to enrich your island-hopping experience, would you pass the opportunity? Learning a new language in general seems to be such a daunting task. And it's even going to be such a challenge if you don't h

The Dilemma of the Times

Technology has all of us on our feet all the time. Gadgets are coming out in different shapes and form and we are left with so many choices, it is almost appalling. Do we wonder why we are constantly scrambling to do things as if time is so squeezed we can barely fit any chore in it? Give an honest answer, for once. How much time do we waste each day on distractions like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, e-mails and the eight hundred apps or so residing in our mobile devices? Do we wonder why we have a phone, and we don’t even call people anymore? I do. I always catch myself updating on the latest happenings and interests around the globe through Twitter. I always catch myself giving inputs and insights on my Facebook wall about the things that I’m currently preoccupied with and interested in. What a life! Sometimes when my morning alarm rings which is conveniently carried out by my iPhone, I catch myself clicking on the Facebook app even when my eyes are still half-open. Why is th

The Year That Was…2009: Hello 2010!

Time flies. I remember how everything just blew down on us like a whirlwind from the recession to the bailouts, from war and still more war, from ponzi schemes to the unbearable market losses, from the enormous unemployment rate to still a staggeringly high number of people still unemployed, 2009, came and stayed like a dark cloud without any silver lining. A lot of people in the U.S. are still finding answers. A lot of people around the globe are still groping in the dark. Suffering and war have not eased up a bit. Chaos and indifference still loom everywhere. Add to that the ever growing fear of a catastrophic pig flu outbreak, and this world seemed like a sad place to be in. Horrid as it is, media and the authorities tried their best to project a less daunting future for all of us, as if everything is under control and things will get better soon. I don’t see anything promising at all for the near future. The war will remain. More war will brew in places unheard of. The global commu
