Most Apples Are Red, Some Berries Are Blue

Varying the color of the fruits and vegetables you eat will make you healthier. If you have a red fruit (strawberries) with your cereal, and an orange fruit (oranges) with lunch, then have something green (broccoli) and something blue (blueberries) with dinner, your meals will be more interesting. They will also provide you with a greater variety of vitamins and anti-oxidants than you would get if you ate the same few fruits and vegetables. Watching and varying the color of your foods is an easy way to improve your diet and nutrition.

Now It’s the Lawyers

Those who took the diet pill fen-phen and suffered heart damage as a result were awarded $400 million dollars in damages. After legal fees, approximately $135 million should have been allocated among the 440 plaintiffs. According to an article in the New York Times on-line, only $74 million was disbursed. The lawyers kept the rest. A judge has ruled against the lawyers in a subsequent suit, but damages have not been awarded yet.

Make sure you check out reviews for diet pills before you buy!

Phentrazine 37.5 Promotion Warning

Phentrazine is now available without a prescription (as Phentrazine 37.5) and is being promoted heavily with offers of free samples. Unfortunately these offers seem to come with heavy strings attached. People who have accepted these offers have reported that the free samples frequently require long term commitments. When you order the pills, you may be automatically enrolled in a plan which will charge you every month for a supply of the pills. You may be given a limited time to cancel the enrollment. Before responding to any of these offers, read all the information very carefully.

That Full Glass of Water

We are always told to “Take this medicine with a full glass of water.” What does that really mean? Most people take the pill with the first swallow then force the rest of the glass down. The correct way to take the pill is to drink half the glass of water, take the pill, then take the other half. The goal is to have the pill land in water. Then it will have something to dissolve in, and be absorbed slowly without having the side effect of irritating your stomach.

Choose Frozen, Not Fresh

A critical part of getting the most from your vegetables is their freshness. Vegetables begin to lose vitamins and nutrients as soon as they are picked, so the longer they have been stored the less benefit you get from them. Cold slows the loss, and freezing stops it. So the quicker they get to your table or are frozen, the better they are for you. In the US, vegetables and fruits are picked, processed, and frozen right in the field. The fresh vegetables in any grocery have been picked at least a day before, and it may be several days until you eat them. Therefore, surprisingly, the most nutricious choice really is frozen vegetables.

Will I Experience Side Effects?

Many people assume that because a drug has side effects, they will experience them. They make this assumption even for rare, rather than common, problems. Most of them never experience any of the documented problems. Also, side effects tend to be minor compared to the benefits of the medication. Some disappear after a short time. Others can easily be managed, for instance by eating before taking medication that causes nausea. Before rejecting medication because of the possible side effects, read the literature, and consider the benefits. See a discussion of side effects and adverse side effects in the Diet Pill Review forum.

A Healthy Variety

Variety is important in almost every aspect of maintaining good health. We need a variety of foods to provide us with nutrients, vitamins, and trace elements such as zinc. We need variety in our exercise programs in order to be truly fit. Retaining mental acuity requires a variety of new experiences as we age. People with a wide variety of friends, acquaintances, and family members are generally happier. And, of course, a life filled with variety is a lot more fun. For more information, see the Diet and Nutrition and the Exercise and Weight Lifting discussions in our
weight loss forum.

The Good Side of Side Effects

Are there side effects? A good question, but asking it implies that side effects are always undesirable. Side effects can be positive. They sometimes are more important than the original purpose of the drug. Birth control pills clear up acne, alleviate cramps, and regularize menstrual cycles. They are sometimes prescribed for those benefits, which are really side effects. Prozac was originally developed to treat obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), but became one of the most successful prescription drugs in history because of its effect on depression. So don’t turn away from a drug just because it might have side effects. You may like them. See a discussion of side effects and adverse side effects in the Diet Pill Review forum.

Byetta Off-Label Usage for Weight Loss

Byetta is a relatively new injectible treatment for Type II diabetes. The drug has several advantages over insulin, including weight loss. Because of this Byetta is being prescribed by some doctors as a weight loss drug. This off-label use has not been tested and is not being promoted by the manufacturer. Two injections a day are required, the drug must be refrigerated, and there are quite a few side effects. Even if Byetta itself never becomes a recommended weight loss agent, research in this area could eventually lead to better options for weight loss.

Which type of diet pill?

Once you have decided that you want to take a weight loss supplement, you are faced with several choices. One factor to consider is how you want the supplement to help you. If hunger is your biggest problem, choose an appetite suppressant. If you want to boost your metabolism, you will want a different type of pill. Other pills block the processing of carbohydrates or fats in your digestive system. Once you know the type of help you want, you can start to evaluate the supplements that are available. For additional information, look at
diet pill guidelines.

Can I just take a pill?

Which diet pill is best? This is a common question, as you can in these posts here. But there is another question that should be asked first, and that is, “Should I use a diet pill?” The answer depends on many factors. Of course, as with any new diet and exercise regime, you should check with your doctor. You should also consider your reason for being interested in diet pills. Do you want to take a pill and let it do all the work? Then you shouldn’t be considering pills at all. Most are for use in conjunction with diet and exercise. They are not a substitute for adopting a healthier life style.
