f2: focus on fat loss & natural weight control health supplements

Health Tips

1. Exercise suggestions.
   • Do "abdominal challenges" first thing in the morning, while still in bed. Gently attempt to lift your head while also attempting to lift your knees. Do not bend farther than you easily can.
   • Also consider buying a "abdominal lounge" type exercise machine. In addition to the standard exercises, perhaps spend a few minutes every hour swinging gently as if just for fun.
   • Desk job? Do more "challenges" before lunch and dinner. Lean far back and forth in your chair while pushing or pulling one hand against the other. Or climb stairs. Or bat a ping pong ball.
   • Overweight? Reduce stress on the knees and heart with exercises that do not require standing. Give preference to swimming, rowing, cycling and abdominal challenges.
2. Dietary suggestions.
   • Cut down on all chips, deserts and snacks.
   • Cut down on carbs but avoid indigestible soy proteins.
   • Cut down on sugar but avoid diet sodas and other "diet" products packed with chemical sweeteners.
   • Try herbal teas or make your own ginger ale by adding stevia and ginger extracts to ice cold spring water.
   • Eat lots of garden salad. Use moderate dressing with olive or canola oil, not soy oil.
3. We do not agree with using harsh stimulants or laxatives for weight loss. We are pleased to feature here a number of supplements that meet our standards.
4. CAUTION. All weight loss supplements can sometimes produce excessive reactions. These reactions might not begin for a week after starting--and may continue for a week after stopping. Therefore please be careful!
   • Do not use several weight loss products at once, unless you have thoroughly tested your reactions to each separately.
   • Even so, any combining of weight loss products should be done gradually and with patience.
   • Do not attempt to achieve a continuous "appetite suppressant" effect. Any time that you notice such an effect, immediately discontinue all weight loss products. Wait until the effect wears off. Then take the product at a reduced dosage. Repeat this cycle indefinately, until you establish a dosage that never produces a strong effect. (Otherwise you might eventually experience sudden, dangerous and extreme nausea and digestive upset.)
   • Before following any weight loss program, discuss first with a doctor for anyone who is on medication, pre-adult, elderly or in a weakened condition.
5. Basic synergists for weight loss.
   • Stevia and cinnamon from shelf f1.
   • A good multivitamin from shelf A.
   • Mood Support from shelf N. It is important to maintain a positive mood. For most people 1 tablet every weekday evening might make a difference.
   • Life Mix protein powder from shelf L. (We do not suggest using protein powder as a meal replacement. We do not suggest a high protein diet. We suggest only a small amount of protein powder added to a balanced low-calorie diet. This helps to ensure that every essential amino acid is included and absorbed. Only 1-2 heaping teaspoons are often enough.)
   • Basic mineral support from shelf M is also important: Calcium Citrate Wafers, Krebs Magnesium-Potassium and some form of algae (chlorella, spirulina or Klamath).
