Lose Weight Like Britney Spears

Britney Spears has faced many battles in her personal life – not least her battle to control her weight.

Britney Spears become sensation over night and burst onto the pop scene in the late nineties. After her success she seem to fall into the trap that can effect so many young stars that are thrust into the limelight.

This immensely popular singer had put on a lot of extra weight and appeared to let herself go after her pregnancies and personal problems.

It has been well documented by her shocking appearances in the press She needed to follow a strict discipline in her diet and physical training, and get her life back on track

Britney was very fond of her mother’s cooking which was high in carbohydrates and calories – the the best combination for anyone who is prone to gaining extra pounds with relatively little effort.

Other than that she admitted that she was addicted to junk food, fizzy drinks, and chips. During pregnancy she ate lots of chocolates and bags of cheetos. As a result she looked all bloated.

As she recovered from pregnancy she was keen to get back to shape.

She started on personal training. She has apparently lost 12 pounds in two weeks by vigorous training and diet control. She has been visiting a gym four times a week.

With the help of her personal trainer she has been working on treadmill and spinning bike which burns up extra calories.

As for her diet she has totally cut down on booze. She follows a nutritious diet of protein rich food. She takes six small meals a day with eggs, ham, seafood, tofu, and chicken. Protein helps in metabolism. It also makes one feel full. This leads to less eating and less craving.

More recently Britney has made many culinary sacrifices – she has cut down on sugar as it adds to calories. She even avoids fruit juice. She tries to keep to 1000- 1200 calories per day with just a turkey burger for lunch and egg whites for breakfast.

Appetite suppressants are extremely effective to help control hunger cravings – it is these hunger cravings that are responsible for us gaining additional and excess body fat.

Hoodia Gordonii is a natural appetite suppressant that can help quash these feelings of hunger. More about Hoodia Gordonii

Curb Your Appetite And Lose weight

It is estimated that at any given time, half the adult female population of the UK are trying to lose weight.

Many will spend hundreds of pounds on weight loss supplements or diet pill products – with the majority trying several different brands before either giving up on the idea of using a weight loss supplement or succeeding in their quest to lose weight.

Those that succeed are in the minority, a sad but true fact.  This is largely due to the reliance on diet pills to perform some kind of magic without actually understanding how the weight loss supplement is supposed to work and what to expect.

Crude figures indicate that in a cross section of supplement brands only a handful in every hundred will live up to expectation.

The Appetite Suppressant

The science behind a majority of diet pills (the ones that are proven to be effective) can be complicated. This though is of no real interest to the casual dieter.

————————————————————————————–

The new “seaweed diet pill” is now availble to buy over the counter.

Appesat has been coined the diet pill that can train you to eat less.

Is Appesat as good as the media portrays.

The appetite suppressant or concept of the appetite suppressor is fairly simple to explain. Without delving to deeply into the mechanics, an appetite suppressant will restrict the quantity of food consumed throughout the day. Read how appetite suppressants work.

If you can imagine your body as a bank account, in a particular a saving account. The more money (food) you deposit into your bank account (stomach) the larger your funds (excess body fat) will grow. A crude but accurate analogy.

The best way to restrict your funds from growing (and gaining interest) is to reduce the amount and frequency of deposits.

Getting back on track – each and every day the ratio of food consumed to calories expelled has to decrease. Eating less and less over time is the most effective and safest natural way to lose weight.

Which Appetite Suppressant To Use

If you are seriously overweight or even obese a GP visit should be your first step – your GP, depending on his or her stance towards diet pills may prescribe a course of diet pills.

The most likely diet pill to be prescribed as far as an appetite suppressant is concerned is Phentermine. Phentermine is a strong weight loss drug and should not be entered into lightly, which is why it is of paramount importance to obtain and use only under strict guidance from your GP.

The natural alternative is Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia Gordonii is a natural alternative that has a decade of usage in the diet pill industry. Read How Hoodia Works

Review Of ProShape Rx

ProShape Rx is combination herbal slimming tablet that contains Hoodia Gordonii

Although we are not particularly strong advocates of appetite suppressants that contain a multitude of ingredients, ProShape Rx seem to have the balance just right.

The ProShape Rx system is designed to help you lose weight in safe and controlled manner and doesn’t promise results that cannot be achieved unlike some of the super hyped weight loss products we have reviewed recently.

What is ProShape Rx

A natural herbal slimming supplement that is without filler ingredients that can suppress appetite and reduce the need for snacking in between meals. The appetite suppressant is Hoodia Gordonii. For greater detail as to how ProShape Rx works click here

ProShape Rx Ingredients

White Kidney Bean Powder – Phaseolus Vulgaris
A fair few clinical studies have proved that White Kidney Bean interrupts the digestive process that converts starch to sugar. This lessens the caloric intake from foodstuffs such as bread, pasta, potatoes and rice. By reducing the absorption of these sugars, the body has fewer calories to store.

Beet root – Beta Vulgaris
Beta vulgaris encourages and aids liver metabolism, helping to normalize the Ph of the body and strengthening the blood.

White Willow (bark) – Salix Alba
When combined with the other ingredients, Salix Alba is valued for its ability to promote the metabolizing of fat and increase caloric expenditure.

Other ingredients include: L-Methioinine, Fenugreek extract, Green Tea and Chitosan. For a greater explanation of the included ingredients click here

ProShape Rx Side Effects

Does Proshape RX Work

Customer testimonies, testimonials and reviews are positive and there does not appear to be any negativity surrounding the company behind the product.

Should I Buy ProShape RX

Proshape RX is one the better slimming supplements and although it is more aimed to the American dieter it would certainly be worth experimenting with.

Where To Buy ProShape Rx

Buy direct from the Proshape Rx website

That aside – Proactol is a better option for a UK based dieter, not only for the fact is ships from the UK but it is further down the road in its proof of results. Proactol is not Hoodia based but can suppress appetite and stop the absorption of over a quarter of dietary fat. More about Proactol

Dytrexil Hoodia Capsules Review

Dytrexil is quite unusual as it is one of the few Hoodia diet pill products that does not capitalise on the word Hoodia within its branding.

Marketed as 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii, Dytrexil claims that it can suppress appetite and increase the metabolism to gently burn fat.

The problem here is that Hoodia does not burn fat, it is an appetite suppressant and not a fat burner.

So there must be other ingredients present which rather contradicts the 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii message.

What is Dytrexil

As touched upon, Dytrexil is a Hoodia product that claims to be authentic South African Hoodia Gordonii – the official websites states it authenticity but actual documented proof does not appear to exit. There is no CITES certificate displayed.

The official website has an FAQ section where one of the questions is “Who Is Our [Dytrexil] Supplier” the answer quite comically is “Due to obvious business considerations, we don’t want to specifically name our supplier and alert competitors to our source.”

Including the supplier details would prove authenticity – so why not display? Brands such as Pure Hoodia freely display all documentation and certificates – it doesn’t appear to have harmed their business, it is still going strong after 10 years.

Dytrexil also claims that the product contains 1200mg of Hoodia Gordonii. This is where the problem lies, not just with Dytrexil but so many other hoodia products.

Some Hoodia Products contain Hoodia Gordonii powder – this is raw Hoodia that is considered the most potent form, undiluted and unprocessed. A standard sized capsule or vegecap can store 400mg of raw powder.

Some Hoodia products contain Hoodia extract. Hoodia extract is cheaper to produce and subsequently sells for approximately half the price of Hoodia powder products. Anything up to 1200mg of extract can be squeezed into a capsule.

Dytrexil contains Hoodia extract – this is a major negative.

Does Dytexil Cause Side Effects

Unlikely to cause any side effects. Both extract and powder are natural and relatively free of side effects.

Should I Buy Dytrexil

Not recommended.

Alternative Diet Pills

Proactol – a clinically proven fat binder that can stop the absorption of a percentage of dietary fat from food consumed.

Proactol was recently featured in the successful slimmers survey of 2008. Thousands of people who had successfully lost weight voted Proactol as one of the best 5 ways to lose weight.
