"Dr. Oz Miracle Diet": 1 Trick To Lose Your “Belly” in 1 Month!

---

(Consumer Health Report) – Green Coffee is the latest buzz in the “battle of the bulge”. With millions of people praising this so called “miracle fruit” that you take as a supplement to lose weight, it has been getting a lot of attention since it was recently featured on The Dr. Oz Show. Surprisingly, many people who struggle daily with their weight have yet to hear about this powerful option. Those that have heard of the Green Coffee diet are confused about what it is, how to use it and how to avoid falling for ineffective formulas and downright scams.
According to Dr. Lisa Lynn (The guest host on the popular Dr Oz show) Green Coffee Extract works in more than one way, “The first way is it goes in and causes the body to burn glucose, or sugar, and burn fat, mainly in the liver…The second way, the most important way, is it slows the release of sugar into the blood stream. So when you don’t have sugar building up in the blood stream, you don’t have fat building up because sugar turns to fat…When the two are combined together, you get this synergistic effect that basically burns, blocks and stops fat, while also completely natural and safe.”
Well, we here at Consumer Health Report were a little skeptical of this Green Coffee. Even after pouring though mountains of research. While I had an educated opinion, I still had no personal proof that the Green Coffee Extract option was worth the time. So, with my editors blessing, I decided to go out and put the product to the test myself. What better way to find out the truth that to conduct my own study?
To get started, I volunteered to be the guinea pig. I applied for a bottle of Triminex Green Coffee™. While there are ton’s of Green Coffee ads online, Triminex Green Coffee™ is one of the most credible and trustworthy suppliers on the market. It included a trial of the product and it did not try to fool me into agreeing to additional hidden offers. Another reason why I chose Triminex Green Coffee™ is because it is the most concentrated and purest Green Coffee Extract on the market. This would give me the most accurate results for my test.

Dr. Mehmet Oz called the Green Coffee ingredient, a “breakthrough supplement” and a “miracle in a bottle”

Here is what Triminex Green Coffee™ claimed on their website…

• In a study published in the journal Lipids in Health& Disease, subjects taking Green Coffee Extract lost an average of 12.3 pounds in 28 days without diet or exercise.
• Pure Green Coffee Extract contains no stimulants.
• Green Coffee has been found to increase metabolism, boosting weight loss by more than 800%.
• Studies have shown a 39% reduction in cholesterol and an average 2 inch reduction in belly fat within 28 days.

Were pretty skeptical, but wanted to find out for ourselves if this product could actually do everything that it claimed. Most of the success stories talk about combining Green Coffee with a Cleanse Patch product to achieve maximum weight loss. I decided to do the same. The idea behind combining the products is that while the Green Coffee encourages weight loss and increases energy, the Cleanse Patch detoxifies and cleanses the body which helps your body to work and burn calories more efficiently. I chose Diet Patch to test.
Here is what Diet Patch™ claimed on their website…

• Helps Eliminate Bad Toxins that have Built Up Over the Years
• Detoxification - Flushing the Bad
• Helps Get Rid of Gas and Bloating
• Helps to Regulate the Metabolism
• Uses natural ingredients, and is discreet and easy to use

And the Cleanse Patch, like the Triminex Green Coffee, had a trial with no hidden offers.
Putting Green Coffee to the Test
Both Triminex Green Coffee™ and Diet Patch™ arrived within 4 days of having placed my order online for the trials.
The bottles I received held a month’s worth of pills which worked out perfect as I was to follow the supplement routine for 4 weeks time and document my progress throughout.
My 4 Week Test: Triminex Green Coffee + Cleanse Patch

• Take two Triminex Green Coffee pills per day
• Use two Cleanse Patch per day

My Results

Week One
After one week on the diet using both products I was surprised at the dramatic results. My energy level was up, and I wasn’t even hungry, an apparent side effect of the Green Coffee Extract which curbs the appetite.
I honestly felt fantastic.
And I didn’t even change anything about my daily routine. On day 7 I got on the scale and couldn’t believe my eyes. I had lost 9 lbs. But I still wasn’t convinced as they say you lose a lot of water at the beginning of any diet. I wanted to wait and see the results in the upcoming weeks. But it sure was looking up! I now weighed under 140 lbs for the first time in years!

Week Two
After two weeks of using both supplements, I started the week off with even more energy and was actually sleeping more soundly than before. I was no longer waking up during the night and tossing and turning because my body was actually able to relax (this is a result of getting rid of the toxins I think). Plus I still managed to lose another 7 lbs, putting me at an unbelievable 16 lbs of weight loss, in just 2 weeks.
I must admit that I’m starting to believe that this diet is more than just a gimmick.

Week Three
After 3 weeks all my doubts and skepticism had absolutely vanished! I am down, 2 full dress sizes, after losing another 6 lbs. And I still have a ton of energy. Quite often, around the third week of other diets, you tend to run out of steam. But with the Green Coffee Extract and Cleanse Patch my energy levels don’t dip, but remain steady throughout the day. I no longer need that cat nap around 3pm in the afternoon! And I am even noticing that my stomach is digesting food so much better. No bloating or embarrassing gas after I eat!

Week Four
After the fourth week, my final results were shocking. I lost an unbelievable 27 lbs since combining the Green Coffee Extract and Cleanse Patch! Actually everyone at Consumer Health Report is kicking themselves for not having volunteered to be the guinea pig. Using the Triminex Green Coffee™ and Diet Patch™ in week 4 I lost 5 more lbs. But to be honest I really didn’t have much more than that left to lose. And I am definitely going to continue taking the Triminex Green Coffee afterwards because it has so many antioxidants and vitamins that makes my skin look unbelievable.

“I couldn’t be any happier with the results.

I Lost 27 lbs in 4 Weeks, No Special Diet, No Intense Exercise”

“I Just Need to go on a Diet”

@SuckitupCupcake

No, no you don't—you need to change your palate. Let's look at diets. In the common use of the word, diets are something we do to try and lose weight—cut carbs, only eat meat and nuts, never eating meat. Some of these sound familiar? If you are jumping from diet to diet, you probably know which each of these were called too. So let's look at what you should be doing—and showing you why jumping from diet to diet is actually damaging your metabolism.

Here's what you need to do—change your lifestyle. You have a food palate—what you like and don't like. If I ate a diet of donuts, processed foods, and a high salt diet everyday anything unlike these food will taste like crap. It's works the opposite way too. If I ate apples, organic and unprocessed foods, the next time you put a salty tortilla chip in front of me I'm going to want to puke because it's overloaded on salt.

So why go on a diet? What you need to do is #dealwith it and change your food palate over the next 6 months. I'm not saying go on a month diet, take out a food group, I'm telling you to eat healthy and you're not going to like it for 6 months. What's going to happen is you are going to eat healthy food, not buy fruit loops and instead buy the natural cereal and in 6 months your food palate will have changed. When it's not in your food cabinet, you're not going to eat it. Magically, in 6 months, you will hate salty, crappy bad foods. You know why? Because your food palate will know what is really in all that crap—crap. You will feel better, and. you ready?—will help you lose weight. The hard part about this is it will take mental power, it will take work. It's not for the weak of heart. I guarantee you though, this is the way to go.

Now that I have the healthy way listed above, when you jump from diet to diet you are damaging your metabolism. What happens if I took a highly modeled running car and withheld from it some months gas, other months oil, and another coolant. Slowly but surely, I am hurting how the car is going to run. It needs all these components. This is what fad diets do. When you do this to your body, your body is similar. It needs stuff to run and when you take it out completely you are hurting it. Don't jump from diet to diet. When you change your food palate you fix all the problems, it just takes work. As most people say, the things worth having take the most time.

SUPERFICIAL HUNGER VS PHYSICAL HUNGER - THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!

Weight loss is not a one pronged approach but it doesn't have to be complicated!

Weight loss begins with recognizing when you are actually hungry because most of us are overweight because we overeat. What if one of the main reasons you are not losing weight is because you have forgotten how to be hungry?

Our bodies are physiologically the same as they were before the Neolithic Revolution, or Agricultural Revolution, around 12,000 years ago. We are designed to be hunters and gatherers. Our bodies are not designed to eat as often as we eat in modern day society. This constant availability of food has done us more harm than good. We now eat for pleasure, out of habit, and emotionally rather than for survival or because we need to. Just because we have been taught to eat at lunchtime, we eat at lunchtime. But, are we actually hungry?

This brings up an interesting comparison between when we think we are hungry and when we are actually hungry; superficial hunger versus physical hunger.

SUPERFICIAL HUNGER IS WHEN WE EAT BECAUSE:

• of how we feel emotionally – are we stressed, upset or bored,
• or itis when we eat out of habit ( i.e. three meals a day),
• or itis when we socialize around food; for example afternoon tea with a friend. It is circumstantial; you eat because of the circumstances.

It generally has an "I have to have this or I will be missing out" type of mentality attached to it. It is an urge that appears quickly, almost out-of-the-blue.

Superficial hunger can also mean you crave certain foods i.e. "An apple just won't do! It must be that chocolate chip cookie!" It often means that you can really overeat and you cannot recognize that you are full. It can also create negative feelings such as guilt, shame, anxiety and self-loathing.

Physical hunger is when we eat because chemical reactions within the body have created a physical need to eat. Our body has this wonderful inbuilt mechanism of telling us when we require fuel and nourishment. This type of hunger is gradual. It grows slowly in intensity over time. It is a progression of clues that it is time to eat such asyour stomach may grumble, you may have difficulty concentrating or a slight headache, andyou may feel lightheaded, fatigued, shaky or irritable.

Physical hunger is patient; there is no urgency to eat, and you are open to healthier and varied food options.You can recognize that you are full and you have a sense of satisfaction not guilt, shameetc.The more in tune you become to physical hunger the easier it will be to pick when it begins.

A useful tactic to use when differentiating between superficial hunger and physical hunger is to actually ask yourself, "Am I hungry?" If you are not sure then hold off eating for a while. Does the urge to eat pass or does it grow in intensity? If it passes then you were superficially hungry. If it grows in intensity then you are physically hungry. If you're still not sure then again wait a while. Remember, physical hunger is not in a rush for you to eat.

Weight loss does not have one solution but being able to identify physical hunger from superficial hunger significantly reduces the incidence of overeating. This makes the rest of the weight loss journey easier.

8 Tips for Healthily Enjoying the Easter Long Weekend

“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own 

 Everybody loves a long weekend! Its time to relax, to catch up with friends and family, and over the Easter break, its time to eat chocolate! So how do we find the balance between living it up and staying true to our health? Here are some great tips

1. Plan

When it comes to making sure that we don’t go overboard the best tip possible is to plan and be organised.

-         Shop in advance so you have good food in the fridge

-         If you’re short on time, chop and prepare food in advance

-         Have plenty of healthy snack options at the ready, if you have good food on hand you're less likely to choose a lesser option

-         Schedule your workouts around the gatherings with your family and friends so you don’t miss out

 

2. Eat well ‘the rest of the time’

While social occasions will inevitably change our daily routine, you can maintain control by being organised and making sure you eat well the rest of the weekend. You’re going to dinner tonight at a friend’s house and you know it isn’t going to be something you would normally eat, that’s fine. Simply make sure that you eat your normal breakfast, lunch and snacks.

3. Portion control

This one can be a killer. It sounds so easy but boy can it be hard.

The key to portion control is to always making sure you never arrive anywhere ravenous. If you’re really worried or you’re trying to loose weight, eat a small healthy snack about an hour and a half before you go out so you’re comfortable when you arrive.

Don't snack while you're preparing food. Its easy to lose track of how many spoonfuls of cake mix, or dip you're eaten if you're eating it as you go! Wait until the food is finished and then you can say 'i've had one serve of dessert'

If possible, try choosing a serving slightly smaller than what you think you’d like. Not so small that you’ll have to go back for more mind you, just a touch smaller so that you’ve eaten enough, there’s no point going back for seconds.

If you have left over food that you wouldnt normally eat, give it away. Send people home with food parcels, or drop left over dessert over to a friend who can enjoy it. If it isn't in your home, you can't eat it!

4. Choose healthier options

Even when eating out you have the option of choosing healthier options. For example, you could order grilled chicken or fish, and the salad or vegetables. If you’re cooking, see my post on Healthy Chocolate Easter desserts for some delicious options, http://firstbehealthy.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/6-healthier-chocolate-dessert-options.html.

5. Incorporate activity into your weekend

If you’re spending time with the kids, or with friends and family, why not make it active time? A picnic in the park followed by a game of soccer, or hike to the picnic ground. Take the family to the beach, hire a tennis court, go to the zoo and walk around all day, the choices are endless. Short on a few groceries? Why not walk to the shops? Or park a block away?

6. Don’t be afraid to ask for help

Women often get loaded with a lot of the responsibility for making these fabulous holidays so great. There are some fabulous men out there too; I’m not saying there isn’t. If you’re struggling to fit everything in, ask for some assistance. Take a moment to sit and eat something healthy and energising, take an hour to go for a walk. If you don’t have time to fit you in, you don’t have time for anything else.

7. Do something you enjoy

Between all the organising, entertaining and catching up it can be easy to let the pressure get to you. Relax, and take some time out to do something you enjoy. Make the suggestion to others too, and let them join you in your element.

8. Enjoy it and be grateful, let the guilt go. 

 “Don't wreck a sublime chocolate experience by feeling guilty.
Chocolate isn't like premarital sex. It will not make you pregnant.
And it always feels good.”
― Lora Brody

Don’t stress too much about the occasional blow out in your diet. Be grateful that you were able to enjoy such delicious food and that you have the choice to eat better food tomorrow! Enjoy the time with your loved ones without the stress and pressure of watching the calories pile up.

Better than Takeout Chinese Noodles

I love Chinese food, but it's not something I try to make at home very often because I usually don't have half the ingredients that the recipes call for, and always figure that there's no way that what I'm going to make is going to be half as good as it is at my favorite Chinese restaurant but I haven't let that stop me from trying. I finally figured out a recipe that's healthy, easy, doesn't require a million ingredients that I never use, and is quite frankly pretty damn tasty. 

Ingredients: 
1 - 2 2 oz. package(s) Thai Kitchen brown rice noodles (I used 1 pack for 2 of us, but you can use another one if you like more noodles)

1 tbsp. rice vinegar 
2 tbsp. sesame oil

In a small bowl add the liquid aminos, rice vinegar, 1 tbsp. sesame oil and 1 tbsp. ginger, stirring to combine. Add chicken to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Set aside. 

Cook noodles according to package directions, set aside. 

Heat 1 tbsp. sesame oil over medium-high heat in a wok or large skillet. Add the chicken and stir fry until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan, and keep warm. 

Add 1 tbsp. coconut oil (or sesame oil) to the hot pan. Add garlic and crushed red pepper pan, stir fry for 20 seconds. Add broccoli, carrots, celery and 1 tbsp. ginger and stir fry until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add noodles, chicken and stir fry sauce to the pan and stir fry for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and add garnishes as desired and enjoy! 

Serves 2 

Stir Fry Sauce: 
Ingredients: 
3 tbsp. Bragg liquid aminos or low sodium soy sauce

Pillosophy of the Day ∞ Spice Up Your Life

Photo Men's Health

Have you ever added a pinch of Cinnamon to your coffee or a pinch of Cayenne to your tea? It may seem like you are just ramping up the flavor of your food or drink, but you are actually increasing the health benefits of your food. These wonderful and magical spices are essential to combat disease, increase vitality, decrease stress, and reduce fat. While searching on fitness.com I found some of my favorite spices and their beneficial nutritional and medicinal components. 

Cinnamon

• Health Boost: Can lower blood sugar, triglycerides, LDL, and total cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes. Aim for one-fourth to one-half teaspoon of cinnamon twice a day.

• Get Cooking: Dip berries or bananas in low-fat sour cream, then in a mix of 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup brown sugar.

Turmeric

• Health Boost: Contains curcumin, which can inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Try to have 500 to 800 milligrams a day, says Bharat Aggarwal, PhD, a professor of cancer medicine at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
• Get Cooking: For an Indian flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon turmeric to water when cooking 1 cup rice.

Rosemary

• Health Boost: Stops gene mutations that could lead to cancer and may help prevent damage to the blood vessels that raise heart attack risk.
• Get Cooking: For a delicious chicken rub, combine 2 teaspoons rosemary leaves with 2 teaspoons seasoning salt and 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves.

Garlic

• Health Boost: Destroys cancer cells and may disrupt the metabolism of tumor cells, says Karen Collins, RD, nutrition advisor to the American Institute for Cancer Research. "Studies suggest that one or two cloves weekly provide cancer-protective benefits."

• Get Cooking: "Let garlic sit for 10 to 15 minutes after chopping and before cooking so the active form of the protective phytochemicals develops," says Collins. Sauté fresh garlic over low heat and mix with pasta, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan cheese.

Paprika

• Health Boost: Contains capsaicin, whose anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects may lower the risk of cancer (also found in cayenne and red chili peppers). There's no specific recommended dose, but moderation is probably the best way to go.

• Get Cooking: Combine 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme and 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper to liven up popcorn.

Ginger

• Health Boost: Can decrease motion sickness and nausea; may also relieve pain and swelling associated with arthritis. Doses used in clinical trials range from 500 to 2,000 mg of powdered ginger. (A quarter-size piece of fresh root contains about 1,000 mg.) More than 6,000 mg can cause stomach irritation. Ginger can also hinder blood clotting, so if you're about to have surgery or are taking blood thinners or aspirin, be sure to talk to your doctor first.

• Get Cooking: For motion sickness, try having one or two pieces of crystallized, or candied, ginger. Make sure ginger is listed as an ingredient; some candied products or ginger ales contain a small amount or a synthetic form. You can also add 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger to vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes, as well as fresh fruit (especially peaches).

Oregano

• Health Boost: A USDA study found that, gram for gram; oregano has the highest antioxidant activity of 27 fresh culinary herbs.

• Get Cooking: To spice up tomato soup, add 3/4 teaspoon oregano to 1 can; add 1/2 teaspoon to 2 cups pasta or pizza sauce. Substitute 1 teaspoon dried oregano for 2 teaspoons fresh.

Cumin

• Cumin is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that may help stop tumor growth.

Pillosophy of the Day:Go Raw - Clean out the Gunk!

Photo: vegan.com

Sometimes we forget to realize all the stress we put our bodies through. Food, Exercise, work, Junk Food, Drugs, Alcohol, Lack of Sleep, and so on. I know I am not the only one that feels off or sluggish some days. Most of us tend to disregard these hopeless cries that our body sends out and we push ourselves to the extreme. You ever wonder why you get a cold in the summer time, or why your body is not recovering like it should. Are you feeling sore after a work-out for numerous days? Are you feeling like you are on a different planet looking down at everyone else go about their day?

Well guess what, you are overdoing what ever you are doing. I would like you to try this "detox" even if just for a day. Your Mind, body, and Spirit will thank you.

Now what you will do is, eliminate all processed foods, Caffeine, meats cooked foods, and dairy from your diet. I know it sounds harsh, but you are only going to do it for a short period of time. If you have any health issues please consult the advice of your primary care physician prior to doing this. I am going to share with you a sample day of what my intake looks like. I promise you will be full and feel lighter and rejuvenated after this.

*Remember when consuming a lot of raw nuts watch your portions so that you don't go over 40-60g (depending on whether or not you are active)

Try this for a minimum of 1 day and a max of 5. After the detox you should slowly introduce things back into your diet slowly. First you will start with grains, starches and legumes for 2 days. Then light proteins like eggs, fish, Yogurt. Then you can incorporate dairy after 5 days. Heavy proteins like Chicken and red meat will be last. Remember your body will tell you how much you can handle. Introduce these foods back into your diet slowly in order to avoid any discomfort.

Please don't blow all your great work and crash on some processed garbage. You will only be doing a disservice to yourself.

And one more thing, DON'T FORGET TO DRINK WATER!
