Pinnothin

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

If you’ve ever wanted a great appetite suppressant, one of the lesser known supplements is known as the Korean pine nut.  It has also been known as Pinnothin in its patented form, and with this a new study from England reports that it may suppress appetite, if used in doses of 3000mg or more generally speaking.  However, more obviously provides greater results. 

With this particular supplement, it uses parts known as CCK and GLP-1.  It exerts satiating effects, and it has been known to work within just 30 minutes for most individuals.  There are even those that would claim that it could suppress 60% of appetite for up to 4 hours at a time.

The Korean pine nut is essentially a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid, and it has been used in our diets since before ancient Greek and Roman times.  They compared it with an olive placebo, and they have since conducted multiple randomized, double blind, cross over studies on both men and women alike.  Since then, it was presented at the American Physiological Society session at Experimental Biology 2006.  They have reported multiple success reports, and since then Pinnothin has exploded in terms of it steadily growing popularity.

Family: The Enemy

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

We all know that our family, especially when they are not dieting, can unknowingly or maybe knowingly sabotage your efforts.  They eat fatty foods right in front of you, and they are not particularly helpful.  Now, if it’s just a spouse, you can always make them eat the healthy foods with you when you are at home or out with them.  But more than 1 other person is a little harder to control.

Still, you have to take responsibility for your own weight loss or lack thereof.  So start by writing out a plan.  On one side, you write out all the diets that have failed for you, success, failure, your current weight, how much you want to lose, your weak areas, etc.  Then you can compare your list with the list of someone, at least one person that you live with who also wants to diet, and by combining, you can work together. 

On the other side of your paper, you should write down your plans.  After all, even if you recognize the problem, you still have to do something about it.  Write down your plans, how you are going to overcome your weaknesses, and of course rewards that you will obtain once you read certain goals.  Rewards are key.  It probably shouldn’t be I will give myself that extra large tub of ice cream after I lose 2 pounds.  But it could be, when I lose 10 pounds, I will go get a new pair of jeans.  You should keep in mind that it should be something you actually care about and not just something the people around you want.  You are the one who has to be motivated.

In essence, stick to some of the things that you like and you can live with.  Stop eating when you are full instead of eating more.  Find healthier ways to have the foods you love.  Have a cheat day every once in a while.  Do yourself a favor instead of looking on it as some kind of punishment.
