Question About the MAMASOURCE SPONSORS.

I have the same question

Instead of a diet how about a meal change? I have battled with weight a few times in my life, and have found that forcing your metabolism to speed up is the best and longest lasting way to lose weight. It takes a while for the weight to drop off and some light exercise is necessary to help your metabolism.

Heres what you do. 1. STOP eating ALL fried foods. If you eat fried chicken and french fries, go with baked, or grilled chicken and a baked potato, not loaded. 2. Start eating smaller portions and eat several fat free snacks throughout the day. You should eat like 10 small meals/ snacks a day. One of my favorite snacks was fat free pretzels, fruit and veggies. And for something sweet always remember that gummie bears are fat free. You should still eat your primary meals, breakfast lunch, and dinner, but they should be just enough to take away the hunger. You want to keep yourself a little bit hungry. My fiance' used to get so mad that I was hungry every 2 hours, but it sure helps me keep weight down. 3. Walk, after you eat a large meal, and anywhere you can. Park far away from the store, go to the mall and walk briskly.

I did these 3 things, and I am not one to stick with things, but once you have made it part of your lifestyle it's quite easy to maintain, and you will continually lose weight until your body reaches it's safe and healthy weight. I gained over 75 pounds with my son, and lost most of it within the first year, and now 2 years later I can totally splurge and eat some ice cream, or some candy, or something just not healthy and dont put on any weight!

Good luck on your findings and remember that diets usually dont stick.

If you have any questions I would be glad to help just send a pm.

S., my daughter has tried the flat belly from the magizine Prevention... she has lost some weight and in the belly area.. she eats alot of veggies and fruit anyway but she said this was really good... go to Prevention.com and read up on it.. she did say there is a cost but it is working...

I have'nt tried it, however, be so careful what you use when dieting, it can actually trigger your body to gain MORE weight in the long run!Not to mention cause serious liver problems. I am very farmilar with & know many others who have had tremendous results using the CINCH Weight Loss plan. www.yourhealthyalternatives.com under weight loss. You can go to the bottom of that page & click by tape measure to see full details. Hope this helps...

Ugggh. Sure, it'll help you lose a few pounds. There is only one thing that is going to help you achieve real and lasting results - especially in the belly. And, I know you've heard this before. Exercise AND diet together. One more time, exercise AND diet. It's been studied and studied and studied. Fruit and veg should be two thirds of your diet, lots of water, and exercise. Walk, yoga, core exercises (leg lifts). Whatever. Find the exercise that suits your lifestyle, but you have to exercise and eat REAL food ... as in grown in the ground, not packaged. Sorry.

I looked and found this for you to check out.
It sounds good to me too. I need to do something about my weight badly!! As with anything there are pros and cons! Good luck!

I am interested in the same thing....will you let me know what you find out?
thanks,

I have tried it and it works for quick 5-10 lb weight loss. You can only eat certain things and must stick with it though and it is hard on the days you can ONLY eat fruit. After the 11 days is up you have to maintain healthy eating habits and exercise or you gain it right back and then some!
Hope this helps.
