In reply to Weight loss plans, can I do it for life?, posted by Deneb on June 23, 2009, at 4:23:34
Coffee may make you eat less, but it also may slow down your metabolism. A slow metabolism will not help you keep the weight off. Too much coffee is not good for most people anyway.
Also, eating less may not necessarily be the key. Instead, you want to eat small meals throughout the day, not necessarily less food in general.
Are you exercising?
Weight watchers is good if you really stick with it. My aunt has tried weight watchers for years but never had any luck because she just could not maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Can you afford a few supplements that may help?
-Pycnogenol- slows down the absorption of carbohydrates.
-Green tea extract-The ECGC has some role in weight loss, can't remember what it is.
-Resveratrol-you need to find a good one though, that may be expensive. 3 I know of are Botivia, longevinex, and Revgenetics nitro 250
-Fishoil-may control appetite and improve blood flow resulting in weight loss.If you take all of these you would also be on track to starting a good life long regimen for health and longevity.
I say maintain a healthy active lifestyle and you should always be fine. Fruits, vegetables, plenty of water, whole grains, olive oil(yes olive oil may actually help you keep off the pounds), meat, yogurt, and a healthy balance between protein and carbohydrates.
