If you have lost weight and you love to scrapbook, keeping track of your progress along the way through a weight-loss scrapbook is a fine way to share your success with your family and friends. Make sure to take lots of pictures of both before weight loss and after weight loss.
Make Spiced Weight Loss Tea
You have probably heard of sassy water - the flavored water that is supposed to help you lose weight. On cold days, a hot cup of tea is what you crave. Why not indulge in a cup of spicy tea that can help you win the battle against belly fat. This tea uses several ingredients that are known to promote weight loss. Cinnamon helps to control insulin levels, and prevent spikes that can trigger the body to start storing fat. Oranges, and other citrus fruits, are useful in flushing fats from the body. Green tea is believed to help with weight loss. This weight loss tea is so good, you'll love it hot or cold, all year long. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Take Topamax for Weight Loss
Topamax is the brand name for the oral drug topiramate, an anticonvulsant medicine used in the treatment of epilepsy. It is also commonly prescribed to prevent migraine headaches in adults. A common side effect of taking Topamax is weight loss, induced by the drug's tendency to suppress the appetite. According to Bruce Goldfarb in the January 2005 edition of the American Diabetes Association's journal Doc News, clinical studies show that nearly three-quarters of the drug's users experienced weight loss, anywhere from 4 to 16 percent of their starting weight. There are, however, a number of adverse side effects associated with Topamax, including memory problems, insomnia, anxiety, dizziness, fatigue, tingling sensations and taste distortion, all of which must be carefully considered before choosing this drug as a weight loss aid. If you are still interested in trying Topamax, and all other methods of losing weight have not worked for you, then here's what to do.
Use Sassy Water to Lose Weight
Sassy water is named for its creator Cynthia Sass and is usually connected with the flat belly diet. However, the name sassy water works for more than one reason. This is more than just water. Anyone who has ever sought weight loss help knows the old maxim of drinking 8 glasses of water. Sassy water gives that task some zing, calms your gastro-intestinal tract, and makes it easy to tell if you have finished your goal for the day.
Pass a Plateau in Weight Loss
Your first thought when the number on your scale becomes static is, "Where did I go wrong?" You are faithful to your diet, rarely cheat and never skip an exercise session, but your weight loss has come to a halt. Do not blame yourself; this is normal for many dieters. You have reached a weight-loss plateau, the point at which your body experiences a reduction in its energy requirements.
