If you have any question at all for Karla, please post here.

I have received a lot of questions on different diet aids and put together some real talk about it. The first will be on diet aids and later, specific diets and cleansers.The results for diet aids were - that you are better off buying coffee beans for the alert feeling and working out on turbo blast, with no signs of a heart attack!  Most of these products change the way you rest, breathe, workout, eat, play, feel, etc.  And, it was mostly in a negative way.

I personally used Metabolife when it first came out, I believe it was around 1999 and I was 50 pounds overweight.  I remember it did make me feel jittery but I though that was good energy.  I was a gym rat so it gave me the somewhere to put all that jittery energy.  It was scary at times because I got dizzy when I got hungry because I was starving by the point my body gave the signal.  I believe they pulled it off the market shortly after, go figure!

Despite the interest of many people and questions I got on this I really cold not find definite stories in person or online that established reliability for this product! I even found warnings on this product.  I had to get a bottle to see what the ingredients were and so much for the natural claim.

The liquid pill promises and people say it half works but you need to have a strict diet and exercise.  Well doesn't anything work with those external factors.  Comments are that you can feel the thermogenics working throughout your body.

I heard the new Herbal like shaved 30 pounds of a young lady with no workouts but she wouldn't share the side effects.

I had a fred give me a bottle of left over Herbal Life Green tea for the ingredients. He said it was a good appetite suppressant but he could never remember to take it half hour before meals.  He would take it with his meal which would impede him from giving an accurate report of its effects.  He reported some jitter when he managed to use it the right way.

When the questions were asked about most of the stuff on the market, this is what I got back on deit aids:

Metabolife Comment: Slim Fast and Metabolife were the combination and i was faint and weak all the time!  I did lose alot of weight, like thirty pounds but gained it all back in a month!  It made me feel like I was having a hard attack all the time too.  I would never touch that stuff again!

General Comment: most of those listed, I tried and they didn't work at all for me; was just a waste of money.  I stay away from anything with stimulants added.  In addition, i've tried lots of extra vitamins and minerals that are supposed to help boost metabolism and none of them have worked for me.

Xenadrine Comment: I used xenadrine in college and probably on and off for a few years after college. I am trying to remember what side effects it had but none are coming to mind. If I am remembering correctly you were suppose to take it after a meal, so for me that was my way to eat more and not feel guilty about it, I thought of it as a quick fix.

Xenadrine Comment: when it first came out it had ephedrine in a high does and it was pulled from the market.  Before that, people reported losing 30 pounds!  But the same people returned to it after it came back out and it didn't work for them.

Stacker 3 Comment: More recently though (i am thinking it was 2006-2008) I used Stacker 3. This one made my heart race when I was working out, especially when running. It also gave me problems sleeping because it elevated my heart rate so much. Once again I think it was suppose to be taken after meals so as with the xenadrine it was my way of feeling like it was ok to eat whatever I wanted to.

Oxy Lite Pro Comment:OxyLite Pro gave me the worst headache, repaid heartbeat,hot and cold sweats.

Alli Comment: Alli seems like it was working but I was eating less and better so I really cannot say that the pill worked.  I know that it made me more conscious of eating because it said if you eat too much fat you will not be able to hold it in.  I didn't wanna be running the the bathroom!

Grapefruit Pill Comment: 10 years ago I used this pill and it took 30 pounds off of me.  It's not around now and I wish it was for everyone else.  I have never gained the weight back but wonder if it was that I started to feel so good that I never sat still and became a lover of fruits and veggies!

This story was submitted by my yummy sister as food for thought.  That is, food for the soul!  The question for you will be which wolf will you let win today, tomorrow and in the future?

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

 

Very moving words submitted by yummy sister Amy Griswold to inspire thought and peace inside of you!  How do you interpret it?

"May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us."  anonymous
