Diet Pills- Do or Dont

This conversation can bring up many arguments on so many levels. So what should you do? How do you know if you should choose a diet pill, or if you shouldn't? And if you choose to take one, which one should you take?

First let me say this. There is no magic Diet pill out there. NONE. So now that you know that, we can actually think about this a little bit more. How do you know which pill to start taking? That answer is simple, you don't. You don't have a clue as to which one you should be trying, and lets not talk about how much money you will waste trying to figure it out. Try going to your doctor and asking for help. They might suggest something to you. I believe there are diet pills out there that are safe to use. There is just very few of them, so the bad outweighs the good, and people start to assume all diet pills are bad. You cant really assume this. Asking your doctor will help you.

Now ask yourself, why do you want a diet pill? Your probably over weight and would like to lose weight. This is fine, but do you know, your gonna be over weight for the rest of your life, unless you make changes. These changes need to be what you eat, portion control and exercises. Even if you find a pill that helps you lose the weight, you have to make these changes so you don't gain it all back. Otherwise you will be starting right back at the beginning.

I'm not trying to say that all diet pills are bad. I just think you should really look into it, and maybe find one that will help suppress your diet, more then fill you with all these promises to make you lose all this fat. Finding one under your doctors care that helps suppress your diet will be your best choice. Then , with the help of these pills you can learn how to change your eating habits and your daily activities.

Walking for your Exercise

We all know that walking is the easiest exercise for just about anyone. Everyone seems to walk places. Which is really a good thing. But do you know why waking is good for you, besides for burning calories?

It’s free! Should I say anymore? Okay, I guess I can. Along with being free it helps your heart, lungs and helps your bones. So why wouldn’t you want to walk? It’s easy and makes you healthy, there is no reason why you can’t walk a few times a week. Here are some ways to help you walk better, longer and sneak in some extra walking.

Shoes are the most important factor here. And I don’t mean go out and buy the most expensive pair you can find. Cost does not mean they are any good. You need to get a pair of shoes that fit you well. Some that are not too tight and not to lose. Making sure you have a little room for your toes, so they can move. Having a cushioned heel is a plus.

Taking an Ipod or something to that effect to help keep your mind busy is also a plus. Upload some upbeat music, and have fun while walking. If you don’t have anything to do while walking, then walking is going to become pretty boring. If you like to talk, then grab your cell phone, call a friend, and tell the friend you’re going walking to talk to you for a while to keep your mind busy. You will be amazed at how far you have walked while your mind was busy on something else.

The next time you go grocery shopping, park as far away from the door as you can. This will sneak in a little extra walking time. Walk around the store a little more then normal. I walk around the skinny women’s clothes every Thursday while I am out shopping. This gives me a little more incentive to keep it up. Then I go get all my groceries. This gives me even more walking time.

If you have gas stations or restaurants near your home, start walking there instead of driving. We have a restaurant that is a few blocks from us. Me and the kids walk up there for lunch or dinner once in a while. We always walk there, get some food, and then walk back home. Making sure you don’t eat anything to bad. I typically eat a chicken salad there. But that choice is all yours.
