The Slimming Pool Weight Loss Blog: Hey, I was Eating That!

Does Phone Hell Make You Eat?

Here's the thing: If you want to call and ask a question, say, "What's the mailing address?" and you telephone your credit card company, chances are you're going to be faced with an exchange something like this:

Company: "You have reached your Best Credit Card Company." We really care so much about your business that we've given you a bunch of crappy options, none of which are what you want, but listen up anyway. If you want ... press ..." and it goes on and on, never saying anything remotely close to what you want.

You: Arrrrgggggghhhh!

You may now experience a compelling desire to chew something, so off you go to get a snack.

That's because frustration creates an upset in the system (your system) and your brain then wants to make things right so it goes over what you've done in the past to make yourself feel better and voila! Choice No. 1 is eat something.

You can change this by using EFT on the frustration itself, "Even though this is driving me crazy, I deeply and completely accept myself." Get the free EFT instructions for weight loss if you don't already know how to do EFT.

In the past you could bypass these telephone annoyances by hitting "0" for Operator, but that's not the case today. Sometimes that only gets you a, "That is not a valid response," and you feel like you've just been chastised by a friggen computer. Thanks to Paul English's Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Cheat Sheet you can now quickly get a human being on the line. They may not speak your language, but it's a start.

Two big thumbs up for Paul English! Yahoo. Useful websites. What a concept. I'll bet he never thought his website would be considered a weight loss tool. ;-)

Children & Diabetes: Here's Help

If you or your children suffer from diabetes, you need to know about Bios Life 2. It is clinically proven to reduce cholesterol and now blood pressure, but even more exciting is what it can do for someone with diabetes. David Allen, Ph.D sent me the following explanation about why Bios Life 2 would be recommended for anyone with diabetes:

"Bios Life 2 is a natural way to help diabetics reclaim safe, stabilized blood glucose levels, while at the same time controlling their insulin production. It does this by decreasing the rate at which food is absorbed, consequently helping blood sugar to remain steady throughout the day. This effect helps to prevent both high and low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia.

"If diabetics increase their daily intake of soluble fiber, they can better control their disease by decreasing their typical glucose and insulin spike caused by high-carbohydrate food, stress, and "tired" pancreatic cells. Taken before a meal, Bios Life 2 can significantly "flatten" these spikes and allow the body to digest nutrients more evenly.

"Controlling insulin spikes may not only regulate a diabetic condition, it also may promote weight loss, increase mental acuity, and supply more energy. In a clinical trial conducted by the Certified Diabetes Educators of Diabetes Control, Bios Life 2 showed itself to be an extremely effective natural substance in the fight against diabetes. This independent study showed that diabetics using Bios Life 2 had a reduction of HbA1c, triglycerides, cholesterol, and fasting blood glucose levels."

That's awesome, and frankly, everyone should be using Bios Life 2. If you aren't getting enough fiber (are you?), you need Bios Life 2. It's a powder you mix in water and drink five or 10 minutes before you eat, but what I've noticed is I almost have to remember to eat because it seems to affect my appetite.

So think about it. Do your kids get enough fiber? Do they eat any vegetables at all? Fruit? Hardly. Mostly they eat chips and junk, no matter what you pack in their lunch. Kids have vending machines and food courts at school now. They drink soft drinks all day and munch candy along the way, so fiber may be the primary missing ingredient. It certainly cannot hurt to try a non-drug approach and see what happens.

If you're in the Portland/Vancouver area, call me to drop in for a sample of Bios Life 2 or the Lean Control System for weight loss and I can demonstrate EFT for you as well! More on the products is available at my One More Bite Unicity site, but frankly, if you want to know the scoop, call or e-mail me for more info.

Worst Ripoff Weight Loss Pill: Leptoprin

I just saw a commercial for Leptoprin, which is the most brazenly ridiculous example of rip-off marketing. We have laws about false product claims, but they do no good because companies can advertise products, lie about their results (claiming they have clinical proof when they do not, etc.) and blatently lie about their product. Worst is how they overprice the product, then appeal to our sense of greed and the desire for the quick fix, "If it costs this much it must be good." They even try to talk you out of it:

"Leptoprin is too expensive for the casual dieter." What pray tell is a casual dieter? and Leptoprin is too expensive for anyone with a brain. You can get the same ingredients for a fraction of the cost, if you really think they'll work, but frankly, they aren't going to be the magical combination you wanted.

There is no magic weight loss pill that will do it for you. If you want to take supplements that can help in your quest to get healthier, there are many useful choices, but there is no magic diet pill.

Here's the ingredient list for Leptoprin:

Calcium (amino acid chelate) 264mg (67% RDA)
Vitamin B6 25mg (1250% RDA)
Acetylsalicylic acid 324mg (aspirin)
Caffeine 200mg
Green Tea Extract (no amount listed)
L-Tyrosine (no amount listed)
Kelp 100mg
Cayenne (no amount listed)

Keep in mind, a mere speck of an ingredient added allow them to put it on the label. Without listing the amounts is suspect indeed, but frankly, even if they did list an amount, I'd be hard pressed to trust it.

If you want to lose weight, visit a website that can show you how to lose weight and keep it off with simple, self-administered technqiues.
