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!

Image
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 d...

My Second Chance At Life: Psalm 91

About fifteen years ago, I was caught in a tragic vehicular accident. It was in the summer of 1992. We were campaigning for one of the most heated local elections in our city's history. We went to the remote coastal areas in the city to campaign for the candidates whom we believed were fit to run the city and bring favorable change to our community. We didn't know much. We were young. But young as we were, we were high-spirited and full of promise that we will be able to effect change in our community, thus, without any compensation, we volunteered to campaign for our favored candidates and really sweat hard for them to have a landslide victory in our place. Just like any other day, we were enthusiastic and cheerful as we headed to our destination for the day. One of the guys that I campaigned with, owned a top-down jiffy, and he came early to pick us up so we can reach our target area before noon time. I remember getting in the car, then getting off to get something that I for...

My 84-Yr. Old Masseuse

Who amongst us here enjoy a good pampering every once in a while? I do. It comes in the form of a massage. A periodic massage to the body actually helps especially during stressful times. A massage often gives you the feeling of relief and rejuvenation. I don't know why, but it must be the release of tension that really makes massaging the body such a relaxing experience. If you have the money, you can do the massage on a regular basis. The rate could go from about P300 to P5000 depending on where you get it. You can get it locally for a cheaper price or you can get it at a more exclusive spa for a much higher price. With me though, I get it through an old lady who visits me every two weeks and renders a body massage at a price that is left to my own discretion. I get more than a massage though. It's like doing something for several reasons and here are a few of them: I get the massage because I like it. Surprisingly, my 84 year old masseuse has unrivaled strength even at such ...
