P90x dose it really work? -

I was watching TV and saw that ad for p90x which is a weight loss program, has any one tried it and dose it really work like they said it dose? Where you become ripped in just 90 days? Thank you all!!!

Weight loss became a permanent drag for me until I tried out acai berry. I know they say that pills do not work, nevertheless they sure worked for me, and they ve been shown on CNN too. There is a free trial on at the moment at http://salovs.chrisanddani.info, give it a try , what s the worst that could happen?

How can you drop weight in 30 days? I have a class reunion and need some ideas on rapid, healthy weight loss? -

Walk every day for at least 30 minutes, drink plenty of water, eat foods that are low in fat and carbs.

You could take a lot of laxatives and drink a lot of water.

Drink lots of water, and cut out on meats and starches such as potatoes as well as bread.Also try to exercise daily. Even just walking will help.

It is not humanly possible to loose more than 2 pounds a week. If you are loosing more than that you are only loosing water content. Screw a diet. Work out like crazy and drink lots of water.

Why is this suddenly a problem. If you truely care about yourself you wouldn t set some arbitrary date to make your former peers happy.

Go easy on the food and maxamize your workout time!

Are all Commercial weight loss diets similarly effective?!? -

Commercial weight loss diets are all similarly effective at 6 months, and those with support are more effective at 12 months, according to the results of the randomized BBC diet trials reported in the June 3 issue of the BMJ. Participants in these trials were filmed as part of a BBC television series. Most adults in the United States diet at some time, and trends in the United Kingdom are similar, write Helen Truby, MD, from the University of Surrey, Guildford, United Kingdom, and colleagues. Long term success rates are poor, with 50% of weight loss being regained within one year. Although commercial diets provide consumers with a plethora of choice, data on their comparative efficacy are limited. Using a community-based sample of otherwise healthy overweight and obese adults, this 6-month, multicenter, unblended controlled trial compared 4 popular commercial weight loss programs with a control group. These diets were the Slim-Fast plan (a meal replacement approach), Weight Watchers pure points program (an energy-controlled diet with weekly group meetings), Dr Atkins new diet revolution (a self-monitored low carbohydrate eating plan), and Rosemary Conley s eat-yourself-slim diet and fitness plan (a low-fat diet and a weekly group exercise class). Primary endpoints were changes in weight and body fat during 6 months.Compared with the control group, all diets were associated with a significant loss of body fat and weight during 6 months, but outcomes in the 4 diet groups did not differ significantly from each other. Intent-to-treat analysis revealed that average weight loss was 5.9 kg, and average fat loss was 4.4 kg during 6 months. Although the Atkins diet resulted in significantly higher weight loss during the first 4 weeks, it was no more or less effective than the other diets by the end of the study.At 12 months, 158 participants (54% of the original sample) returned data, and only 58 (45%) were still compliant with their assigned diets (9 to Atkins, 20 to Weight Watchers, 9 to Slim-Fast, 20 to Rosemary Conley). More participants in the unsupported programs (Atkins diet and Slim-Fast) withdrew than in the supported programs (P = .04), and weight rebound after the initial 6 months was higher in the unsupported programs. All diets resulted in a clinically useful weight loss of around 10% after 12 months in participants who had kept to their original diet. Clinically useful weight loss and fat loss can be achieved in adults who are motivated to follow commercial diets for a substantial period, the authors write. Given the limited resources for weight management in the NHS [National Health System], healthcare practitioners should discuss with their patients programmes known to be effective. Study limitations include varied compliance with each diet, small number of participants, and effect of media interest on motivation to meet goal weights and patients expectations of weight loss.One of the authors has disclosed receiving consulting fees for serving on the scientific advisory panel of Slimming World.In an accompanying editorial, David Arterburn, MD, MPH, from the Group Health Center for Health Studies in Seattle, Wash, notes the high costs of some commercial diets and the low rate of ongoing compliance with the assigned diets at 1 year. The challenge to researchers in obesity is to take weight loss studies, especially those involving commercial programmes and private funding, to the next level, Dr Arterburn writes. Diet Trials II would serve us best by evaluating long term health outcomes, cost effectiveness, and novel strategies of improving adherence and weight maintenance. Such strategies might include economic incentives for participants and researchers collaborating with employers and healthcare providers.

the bottom line ishow effective a diet is is measured on how sustainable it is. In other words, how realistic long term compliance will be. Because if you cant sustain it (i.e. its a fad) then you go back to your old ways and guess what, you gain again, and usually more fat through muscle loss.A cabbage soup diet is going to be nowhere near as sustainable as a rounded low fat diet. Which one do you think is going to give better LONG TERM results?

eat smaller meals at regular times.

My experience is that going out and buying exercise equipment, such as the treadmill you plan to buy, is a complete waste of money. The underlying problem, I suspect, is that the person buying the treadmill is secretly hoping that buying some expensive equipment will provide the motivation to start exercising that was missing before. It may actually work for a short time, but eventually the memory of all the money you ve spent fades away and you go back to your former habits of just not finding the time or motivation to fit exercise into a busy schedule.I would say that what you need instead of a treadmill is to rearrange your priorities so that, at an agreed upon time every day, you have absolutely nothing in your life that s more important than exercise. Forget the treadmill and simply go outside and walk for half an hour or 45 minutes. That will be as good exercise as what you would get on a treadmill, and the fresh air and change of scenery make walking much less boring than the same amount of time on a treadmill. Once you get in the habit of regular daily exercise, you may want to add more vigorous workouts to your routine. But the absolute, number one essential is to make it part of your daily routine.
