Foods for Workouts: Cardio
An all-around healthy diet is best for any exercise routine, but cardiovascular exercise requires a balance of special nutrients. If you get cardiovascular exercise regularly (and we all should) – here’s how to fuel up.

Weight Loss Pills – How Effective Are They In Lowering Obesity?
It seems the world population is getting more obese—if statistics are anything to go by. According to a WHO study, over 1.6 billion people in the world are either overweight or obese. In the same vein, WHO also predicts that by 2015, the number will increase to 2.3 billion. Coming back home to the US, the CDC has said that more than one-third (35.7%) of adult Americans are obese. Furthermore, about 17% (12.5 million) of children aged between 2 and 19 years in the US are obese. These are frightening numbers and underscore the serious drive to reduce obesity in the country.
The Role of Weight Loss Pills in Obesity
While there is a lot of controversy over the use of weight loss pills (also known as diet pills), there’s no doubt that several weight loss pills form the bedrock for an effective weight loss program especially if your BMI (Body Mass Index) is 27 and above. In fact, there are some cases of obesity that can’t be resolved without the use of prescription weight loss pills. However, even with the use of diet pills, there’s a caveat. While these weight loss pills are effective, they are not magical and to enjoy the ultimate benefits they should be combined with exercise, good diet plans and other factors that will create a wholesome weight loss approach.
The difference between people who get successful results with weight loss pills and those who don’t lies in their usage. For instance, if you just focus on popping any and all weight loss pills without modifying things like your diet (frequency and content), exercise and other habits, you’ll end up getting frustrated—or even worse off than when you started. Essentially, you have to understand how these factors are related in order to lose weight successfully.
Classifying Weight Loss Pills
There are basically two categories of diet pills: Appetite Suppressants and Fat Inhibitors. An appetite suppressant reduces the appetite by increasing catecholamine and serotonin two hormones that affect the appetite and mood. Fat inhibitors, on the other hand, stop the body from breaking down and absorbing fat leading to removal via the bowels. At present, the only Fat Inhibitor approved for use by the FDA in the US is Xenical.

We are professionals who believe in a holistic approach and you will find a wealth of information on how you can achieve your goal. Feel free to use them.

Weight-loss basics
Your weight is a balancing act, and calories are part of that equation. Fad diets may promise you that counting carbs or eating a mountain of grapefruit will make the pounds drop off. But when it comes to weight loss, it's calories that count. Weight loss comes down to burning more calories that you take in. You can do that by reducing extra calories from food and beverages and increasing calories burned through physical activity.
