Weight loss pills are a part of many people’s initial plan to lose weight fast, when they are searching for a painless way to take the weight off that has been inching on over a period of time. They may be part of a behavior modification to lose weight just like a lower calorie intake, more exercise regiment that is necessary to lose weight. The weight loss pills help reinforce their diet plan by suppressing appetite, so those calorie intakes is lowered, but are any diet pills safe?

Some weight loss pills contain only herbal or natural ingredients. These work by curbing the appetite and some also include dietary supplements and multi vitamins which can psychologically help a dieter. In addition to the weight loss pills, the dieter will need to watch what they eat, make sure their portions are reasonably sized and get more exercise.

What about chemical or synthetic pills of the non-natural variety - how safe are those? The FDA do not test and monitor over the counter drugs and they do not have proof of effectiveness of such pills. The exception is Alli which is approved as an effective, over the counter diet pill. A lot of people have heard of the problems associated with the Ephedra pill.

When you think about the fact that most over the counter pills are not governed or monitored by the FDA, you will find that with the exception of Alli that you will not know whether they work, what the real side effects that you might experience are or what might happen to you. Many of them use caffeine as a primary ingredient, and will tend to have the same effect on you as tea or coffee, though of course the weight of your wallet will definitely be lighter. You may even find that you can have a nasty allergic reaction to the ingredients that are found in some weight loss pills.

Because overweight people tend to have a discipline issue when it comes to calorie intake, the weight loss pills may do little to change their behaviors or metabolism and they will continue to gain weight, so they will give up. Some weight loss pills claim you can still eat all you want and lose weight, but this has seldom been found to be true.

If you want to lose weight, you have to consume fewer calories than you burn, whether or not you are taking weight loss pills. If you do not lower your calorie intake, diet pills are not going to miraculously take off the weight by themselves. You can use diet pills as an additional diet aid but you should not take them with other medications before speaking to your doctor first.

The best weight loss method is to give your body what it requires to reach a healthy weight. It is important to learn about fat burning, nutrition, portion size, eating several times a day to keep your metabolism burning the fat and keeping enough variety in your diet to ensure you do not get bored and can cope with an interesting yet healthy long-term diet.

Weight loss pills are not cheap and they are not all proven safe to use. If you are already on medication for high blood pressure or heart problems, diet pills might be dangerous.

You most likely know by now that drinking beyond 1-2 drinks of alcohol (in any form) each day is NOT good for you. Here’s why:

* The body thinks of it in the same way as estrogen, which is your enemy

* Slows down fat loss.

* Filled with empty calories.

* Spoils the quality of sleep.

* It does not quench thirst, it makes thirst worst

* Terrible for your liver.

My professional recommendation: Don’t drink at all if you want to achieve ultimate muscle gains and get lose as much fat as possible.

Then again, let’s admit it. This is the real world, and you probably like to drink as much as the next guy (the younger you are the more you probably like to drink). Therefore here’s some tips to keep your muscle building and fat loss on progress when you decide to “indulge”:

Drink Plenty of Water

Many of the bad stuff that come from drinking can be controlled with water consumption. Alcohol dehydrates you, thus drink a lot of water beforehand, during (if possible) and without doubt before going to sleep. In addition, alcohol helps your body get rid of huge amount of toxins you just doused it with in the form of alcohol.

Avoid Sugary mixers

Refrain from sugary mixers in your hard alcohol. Consuming sugar while drinking alcohol is the worse thing you can do for fat gain.

No carbs

If you’re consuming alcohol don’t eat carbs before, during or after. In a nutshell: The carbs get turned to fat much easier because your body is trying to process the alcohol. Also, Protein will stay with you longer so you won’t eat as much and the higher thermic rate makes it less likely to promote fat gain.

Stick to the 1-2 drinks a day during weekdays

There’s already enough evidence to suggest that 1-3 drinks a day is good for you. If you enjoy drinking a beer or two a day or glasses of wine or whatever, don’t worry about it. Try not to binge EVERY night. If you’re going to binge

Drink hard only twice a week.

Like Friday and Saturday, or something like that. Here’s what to do: Don’t eat much during the day if you’re going to party it up that night. Then make sure you get some good protein into your system to help coat your stomach. Also, some foods high in fiber like beans is also good. It will stay with you and help you feel fuller, maybe absorb some toxins-definitely help flush them out the next day when you “eliminate”.

Exercise 2-3 hours before you party

Because your muscles get depleted of glycogen after you workout doing this might make it easier for your body to turn even more of the empty calories you ingest later on that night into muscle, instead of fat.

Don’t pig out after getting drunk

Nearly everyone drink until they’re really drunk, then become hungry and choose to consume a bunch of crap food. This is NOT going to help. Keep an eye on the protein tip above, and drink more water to help you feel full.

Have fun playing beer pong or other games

You might actually burn 20-30 calories in a “Vigorous” game of beer pong. You’ll probably drink more though as a result. My advice: Drink less to make your aim better - so you drink less during the game (because you’re winning) which overall leads to less drinking! Play “strip” versions of these games for even more fun.

If you just want to get drunk, be disciplined

It’s NOT healthy (emotionally, mentally OR physically) to drink to “get drunk” but I realize this is why most people do it. They drink because they think it makes them more confident, more brave, or more well liked. That’s all bullsh*t, you really need to get your confidence issues handled, but I realize most people still do it.

Therefore if you’re drinking for “effect” then remember: be disciplined. Get a high alcohol spirit like Everclear or 151, cut it with ice and water, or do a couple shots, you’ll get drunk faster. And you won’t have to drink as much. (at least it’s better than drinking 36 beers right?)

I can’t believe I’m giving this advice, but I know people will still do it, so just be “efficient” about it and possibly it will help you not to go extreme next time.

Go for low-fat beers and wines

Low-calorie beers are the lowest. Dark stouts such as Guinness are next. Followed by the rest. Red wines are lesser in calories (and contain added resveratrol), followed by the rest.

Hangover help:

In the morning, you might be hungover here’s some tips:

* Stay away from NSAID’s such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and all that because mixed with the alcohol it is tremendously bad for your liver and stomach, and the like…

* Grab some water and Gatorade to restore electrolytes and all that…

* Get a dose of multivitamins/multi-mineral supplements so as to further refuel…

* Proteins are great to comfort you such as eggs, bacon, and all that…

* Workout well enough to drip some toxins out plus make sure to it that you drink water all the time…

* Catch some z’s…

You know you shouldn’t but if you do

Come to a decision to “over indulge” you should at least go by the guidelines I’ve set out here. The real issue you should tackle is:

“Why do I feel the need to drink too much?”

You’ll most likely realize that it’s an issue with your self confidence not being able to say “no” to your group of friends or trying to “Fit in” or some other such nonsense. Or you don’t like reality and you’re just trying to escape from it by getting trashed. None of these things are good for your health and you need to get these issues handled before you do some damage.

You obviously are trying to get yourself in shape. If you aren’t spending hours in the gym doing intense weight training, you are probably not going to achieve your desired results, and may think about enhancing your program. However, keep in mind that you must not overtrain.

To avoid overtraining you need to make sure you give your body a break between workouts. The rest and break will help repair and beheld the muscle that is being broken down in overtraining.

To understand overtraining, you first have to understand that when you are building muscle, you’re actually breaking muscle down. You’re not building the muscle in the gym, really. Instead, what you’re doing is breaking down muscle in the gym and producing tiny injuries in the muscle that then must heal and repair. When these injuries heal and repair, they heal and repair stronger than they were previously. Therefore, when you’re building muscle, you’re actually breaking down muscle first, and then letting your body rest and repair in between; this process is what actually builds muscle.

Overtraining deprives your body of needed rest and does not allow it to adequately build and repair itself between workouts. In fact, as opposed to destroying muscle, you’re actually building muscle when you notice this. Worse than that, though, you’re actually hurting yourself in a number of other ways, too. Find out about these symptoms to see do you really training to much.

There are steps that you can take, if this is the case, to improve it and get back on track building muscle. You’ll notice that before anything else. Overtraining is an intensity of exercising that often shows results in fatigue. If your workout includes overtraining it is likely that you will notice other symptoms as well.

Your testosterone levels will go down if you don’t let yourself recover between your workout sessions.

As unbelievable as it sounds, you could get chubbyer and bigger. You might gain weight you don’t want to, in the form of fat. In continuing to overtrain, you will in effect be breaking down fat burning muscle without building it back up, as well as increasing your cortisol levels. There is a stress hormone called Cortisol that makes the body want to hold onto and retain the fat that is present, especially in the stomach area.

Overtraining is a good way to make your immune system break down and become weaker. The reason is that it is trying to cope with your body’s constant state of inflammation due to sore and damaged muscles. So if you find yourself getting colds and flu more easily, slow down. When you incorporate a good bodybuilding regimen, it should make you less likely to come down with the flu or a cold, not more likely.

Finally, it bears repeating that when you overtrain, you lose muscle, you don’t gain it. Since this is the absolute opposite of what you actually want to accomplish, a good bodybuilding regimen is in order to help you both avoid the symptoms and get the muscle you want.

When you’re bodybuilding, your pattern should be one day of intense weightlifting followed by one day of rest. Do heavy duty lifting three to four days a week and give yourself a day off in between intense workouts. It’s a good idea to do some light cardio on your rest days, but the big point here is that you should be resting your muscles from heavy duty lifting. They need time to recover and to repair. This is what’s going to help you bulk up in a good way, with muscle.

Your body can’t rebuild itself, even if you’re resting, unless it’s got the tools do so. That means that nutrition is just as important as rest is. Now, don’t pile on the potato chips or other junk food, opt for good, lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. Good, nutritious calories that will fill you up and give your body the means to repair itself in between workouts. If you do this, you should see results in no time, and you should feel much better, too.
