Q. I've read around the web that the best weight loss solution are capsicum based pills, what can you recomment?
A. Go with caution...
"Cayenne and other peppers are considered safe to eat in moderate amounts for those who are not allergic to peppers. The FDA includes peppers on their "generally recognized as safe" list of food ingredients. However, capsicum supplements taken by mouth can cause stomach upset or diarrhea."
Even with safety precautions and not much known about Capsiplex side effects, medical approval to use these pills is recommended before buying and using them. It is not recommended for those who are pregnant or lactating to make use of this pill since it can pass on to the baby.
It is also not recommended for people who are taking drugs for cardio vascular reasons to use this as well since they can interfere with each other.

Is it scientifically proved that coconut oil help in weight loss?
Q. I searched and most websites says yes! But I just want to make sure that it does really work. I'm not looking for fast weight loss solution but a healthier way to live :) and it wouldn't hurt to lose few pounds!
So is it okay to add 1tbls of coconut oil to milk or warm water? I know I won't like to eat directly so I will try to cook more with it and drink 1 tbls everyday!

A. According to Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr. (esteemed cardiologist from the Cleveland clinic) all forms of refined oil and even olive oil and coconut oil is bad for your health. It adversely impacts your cardiovascular system and adds many calories without much nutrition. While there are many popular diets that work short-term (stressing the addition or elimination of a group of foods), most fail miserably within one year. You seem to be looking for snake oil, and there is no simple remedy.
He recommends ground flax seed (available from health food stores and some grocery stores) for the Omega-3 fatty acids we all need. I take one teaspoon every day. As a vegetarian I take B12 and D3 supplements. My diet is heavy into leafy green vegetables, colored vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and some fruit. I prefer raw over cooked and processed when possible.
I lost 80+ pounds by simply switching to a pure vegetarian diet as recommended by Dr. Neal Barnard. Dr. Dean Ornish is another good source, but he tends to be more lenient on his diet recommendations.
I found that I could lose weight with my standard portions and without extra exercise. It was easy because I feel a lot better when I eat right. Eating junk food and other processed food and convenience foods is the likely cause for the epidemic of obesity in the US.

Is there a perfect weight loss solution?
Q. With all the advanced scientific research, has human not yet found a fast, easy, and safe weight loss solution?
A. Humans were never meant to eat the fatty processed rubbish that we idiots have developed. We were never meant to travel by car everywhere.
We were our own downfall thinking that convenience was a good thing for us all and now we wonder why we struggle to keep weight off.
I am not a thin person preaching. I need to lose quite a lot of weight. I am watching calories and making sure the food I put into my mouth is quality and healthy and it's working.
I am exercising because I know this is what our bodies were designed to do and because I drive to work, I have to spend time after work undoing the damage done during the day by sitting on my backside.
I know I would rather live for a long time as a healthy person, than trying to find a miracle cure or tablet, or starving myself or purging, just to be skinny.

I gained weight with my pregnancies, how do i lose the weight now?
Q. I am 26 years old, and i had 4 kids in 6 years, now I got my tubes tied, and am looking for a permanent weight loss solution, but any tips and tricks are welcomed also. thanks.
A. hi :) am not sure whats available in the markets...but, this is what i did to lose weight... PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS... pills are nothing but anorectic agents... they make you feel less hungry... there is no way to loose weight fast... though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly... it has to be combined with diet and excercise... pills are very bad in the long run... can lead to impotency and infertility...
i lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...
just dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...
i'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)
the trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)
what you should cut down :
oil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...
vegetables / meat to avoid :
potatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...
fruits to avoid :
mangoes , bananas , jackfruit
now that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)
here they come :)
fast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...
its best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...
my diet...
breakfast:
skimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something... Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet...
and try cereal in the mornings... oats, weetabix... etc... have a good breakfast...alwaays use brown bread... whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction...
for lunch , we are staple rice eaters... rice is bad for fat reduction... but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed... everyone takes rice here... so... rice - one cup - 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil... all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday... that would be just for seasoning... also using olive oil helps a lot...
then for dinner... compulsarily have wheat... pasta is a good option...but make sure you buy wheat pasta... check before buying... and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces... some varities of sauces are acceptable... as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general... you can use tomato spicy sauces etc... make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 - 3 spoons per day... (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course... eat a lot of fruits and vegetables... and all kinds of cereal... if you are hungry... eat a fruit... or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice... but no puffed corn... corn products again put on weight...
eat sandwiches as much as possible... i dont know which part of the world you are from and hence cant suggest much for you in terms of recepies...
and combined with dieting... you need to excercise for atleast an hour everyday... you'll see the difference...defenitely... if you think gym is boring... take up dance classes... or run along the beach... if you have one... or skate... or just about any physical activity... brisk walking will also help...
the key is to stay healthy while you diet and lose weight...
drink loads of water...atleast 6 glasses per day... and do a lot of physical activity.... take the stairwy instead of the lift.... and small things like that...
if you have any more queries...mail me... cheers :) and good luck :) its not difficult...you'll get used to it in a few days... and of course the results are fab:) who doesnt want a great looking body...
you can get back to your normal lifestyle once you slim down... after that... its just eating what you like and burning it out the next day with just a little bit of excercise :) also check your weight everyday... its a great way to motivate and monitor your progres :)
