Giveaway – #win 1 of 10 formoline L112

Formoline L112

It is becoming a little bit of a tradition – this will be the third time I have for you a giveaway for formoline L112 – Germany’s No.1 Slimming Supplement.

Same as the last two times, there will be 10 winners and each winner will receive one box of formoline L112.

If you are new to formoline L112, here is some basic information about it…

formoline L112 contains a naturally sourced fibre that binds to dietary fats passing through the digestive tract, significantly reducing the calories that your body absorbs. The bound fat and fibre are excreted in the normal way.

formoline L112 works specifically on fats (not sugar-based foods or carbohydrates) and so is most effective when calories are derived from a diet rich in processed foods that contain large amounts of saturated and trans fats.

Results show a possible weight loss of 7kg over a 4-week period.

formoline L112 can be used as part of a systematic weight loss programme or as an occasional use product when it isn’t possible to count calories, such as when on holiday or when dining with friends, and will help you to manage your overall intake of fat and fat-derived calories.

It also promotes a feeling of fullness, so users may naturally consume fewer calories. It does not act on the body’s metabolism and is very well tolerated. It is suitable for people with diabetes as there is no carbohydrate exchange value and it can help to lower cholesterol intake.

If you want to lose weight you have to remember that there are no magic pills. Slimming supplements like formoline L112 can help you to achieve your goal but they aren’t going to do the hard work for you.

As stated above formoline L112 works on fat, so if you are having a virtually fat free diet, they aren’t going to help.

I personally would recommend formoline L112 as a supplement when needed – I treat it a little bit like a guilt killer… I have a very rich and fatty meal or a pile of chocolate and then pop a few pills to counter act what I just ate… it seems to be working for me 😉

Anyway if you are in need of dropping a few pounds this might be just the thing for you.

In order to stand a chance of winning one of my 10 formoline L112 boxes please follow me on Twitter and RT:

Beat the Late-Night Carbohydrate Blues

Beat the Late-Night Carbohydrate Blues

It’s 2am, you’ve got to be up in four and a half hours and you can’t sleep. You’ve been tossing and turning since midnight, running through conversation threads, future shopping expeditions and just how stupid the ending of Dexter was, trying to distract yourself from the pain in your stomach. It’s not working. And denying yourself is torture. You get up, put your slippers on in the dark, backwards (you don’t change them, why would you? It’s 2am, who cares? ) and go to the kitchen for your late night medication: lashings of cheese on buttered toast.

If you, like many people, suffer from the Late Night Carbohydrate Blues (the ‘official’ medical title) don’t worry, you are not alone. It is estimated that around 75 per cent of overweight people, and many perfectly slim looking folks, suffer from carbohydrate addiction (according to Drs Richard and Rachael Hellers, at least). Indeed, this has seen the development of scientifically proven carbohydrate blockers to help reduce the calories absorbed by carb and starch-rich foods like (deep breath): bread, bagels, buns, baked potatoes, pasta, pastries, pizza, pies, cake, cookies and chocolate.

Of course there are plenty of complex carbs that should be eaten as part of a balanced diet. Wholegrain foods, seeds, fresh fruit and vegetables are all great, but it’s rarely the desire to eat an apple that keeps you awake at 2am.

Here’s a stat about carb addiction that might send a shiver down your strung-out spine: according to a 2011 study, 94 per cent of rats who were allowed to choose mutually exclusively between sugar water and cocaine choose sugar.

So how do you knock carb addiction on the head forever? The simple answer is to just stop eating simple carbohydrates and, if your will power holds, you’ll be singing the blues no longer. Of course, having a slightly more detailed plan than that is probably advisable: the following steps could give you the tools you need to kick that carb addiction for good.

Steps like…

Eat the right breakfast

Breakfast kick-starts your metabolism in the morning and provides vital nutrients such as fibre, vitamins and iron. People who eat breakfast are less likely to be overweight than those who skip breakfast. Avoid sugary cereals, white bread and sugary muffins that will cause a spike in your blood sugar levels. Instead, choose complex carbohydrates that release energy slowly such as porridge oats, low-sugar muesli and wholegrain or granary bread. Add mushrooms and tomatoes to granary toast for an even healthier start to the day!

Don’t forget about protein

Protein is pretty damn important. One of the biggest reasons people overeat is because of a lack of protein in their diet. Eating protein makes us feel full. So try and include, fresh fish, legumes, nuts, eggs or grains in some part of every meal. Your stomach (and hips) will thank you.

Eat the right foods often

Eat little and often. You’ve probably heard this quite a bit, but it’s the essence of a good diet. Three big meals a day is not the way to go. Aim to eat every 4 hours to keep your energy levels up and prevent snacking on unhelpful foods. Long gaps between meals can lead to you reaching for high-sugar and high-fat foods. Include plenty of protein and complex carbohydrates (as opposed to those pernicious simple ones) and you are on to a winner.

Make a plan

This one’s a little more open but it’s equally important. Don’t just jump headfirst into a new diet without having any kind of plan whatsoever. You’ll fail. Big time. Map out the foods you are going to eat beforehand and make sure they are available to you. The worst thing you can do is get hit by a food craving at 11.02am and the only sustenance available to you is the snack machine in the canteen. Buy your food in advance and make sure it’s good food. Do this and it will make it so much easier for to keep to your plan.

7 tips on how to walk yourself happy

7 tips on how to walk yourself happy

We all have some fitness goals, or at least I would hope we all have them, if you don’t you know deep down inside you should. For me it is to walk more. I love to walk, not because I have to or because my dogs need me too… I want to walk more for myself; to increase my fitness level, to lose some weight, to improve my health and well being and what’s more to help me relax.

Walking is not difficult and it doesn’t require a lot of special preparation. All you need is some comfortable clothing, a pair of good shoes, some basic knowledge on what to do and what not to do, time and willingness. It might seem like a lot but it really is not!

Walking has a lot of benefits. It is free, it doesn’t require any special accessories, it is not weather depending, it can be achieved in any terrain and it doesn’t have an age limit. It is something we do naturally so why not walk yourself happy?

I have a few tips for new comers who want to start their journey into walking as a mean of improving their well being.

1. Get some good shoes and the correct clothing

This doesn’t mean breaking you bank balance. You probably do not need anything else than that which you most likely already own. All you really need is a pair of good comfortable trainers / walking / running shoes and some comfortable clothing. You do not have to walk in a fancy branded tracksuit, you do not need the latest model shoes, but you do need something which will fit you well and something which will be really comfortable (no pants too loose which will drop down every few steps or too short t-shirt which will come up every 2 minutes).

2. Warm up

It should only be necessary to warm up for about 5 minutes before the serious walking, in time when you start to increase the speed and distance on your walks then you can dedicate a little more time to increasing flexibility. Try to do some of the following:
Forward leg kicks – use a pole or tree for balance and swing your right leg in front of you and then behind you, swapping to your legs after 10 kicks.
Ankle turns – Stand on one leg and rotate the ankle of the raised leg, do ten circles in each direction and then change legs.
Toe point – stand on one leg and point the toe on the raised leg, then flax it. Repeat 10 times then swap legs.
Arm swings – stand with your feet shoulder-width apart with your arms straight out beside you parallel to the ground. Keep your lower body immobile and swing your arms from side to side through a full range so that you end up looking over each shoulder.
Arm circles – hold your arms straight out to your side, parallel to the ground. Make small circles going backwards, gradually getting larger and larger. Then change direction.

3. Posture

In order to minimize any muscle pain we all should try to keep a close attention to our posture whilst walking, making sure we are getting it right – keep your shoulders back and relaxed and hold your head up, with your eyes looking forward. It’s also a good idea to hold your tummy in and tighten your buttocks.

4. Speed and distance

This is the beauty of walking – there is no speed and distance set in stone. You can walk 5 minutes or you can walk for 45 minutes, it is all up to you. What is important is to just start walking at a speed that suits you, nice and easy. Then everyday you should either increase your speed or the distance travelled a little. Remember if you want to speed up – increase number of the steps you take, not the length of your stride. A good practise is to change the speed at which you walk – make a few minutes of a really fast march and then just walk for the next few and if you are feeling up for it repeat it again. Try and go out walking every day and, if the pace feels ok for you then add 5 minutes to your walk every time, until you’ve covering the distance you’re happy with. If you’re walking to lose some weight, then aim for 45-60 minutes of brisk walking at least 5 days a week.

5. Cool down

It is worth to finish our whole walking session with a little cool down. Just a few stretches to relax legs muscle and relax our back should do the trick. This will help prevent any unnecessary muscle pains. Repeating the warm up exercises from above will aid this process.

6. Eat /drink right

In the 2 hours after you exercise, your muscles are doing most of their replenishing and will need refuelling – the optimum meal post-workout should include a mixture of protein and carbohydrate. Also do not forget about water, staying well hydrated is very important especially if you are off for a long walk on a hot sunny or even warm day.

7. Keep a diary

Keeping good notes on the time and distance covered will help you with future planning of your training sessions. Getting a reliable pedometer might be a good idea. We should be aiming for the goal of 10,000 steps a day; apparently this can be counted as an active lifestyle 🙂

So my aim for the spring / summer is to walk more. I would love for you to join me in this challenge.

Let’s walk ourselves happy!

Who is with me?

National No Smoking Day – Get fit and quit!

Get fit and quit!

To celebrate National No Smoking Day this month

which is today (12th March 2014),

Expert Panel from SportsShoes

is offering some brilliant advice

on how exercise can help you to kick your smoking habit.

Get fit and quit!

5 ways that exercise will increase your chances of quitting for good

Improve breathing

Acute cigarette cravings often last just five minutes. If you feel like a cigarette, try going for a run for just 20 minutes, by the time you return your craving will have passed.

Smokers often avoid exercise as they become breathless and get cramps. This is because carbon monoxide hinders the amount of oxygen that reaches the heart. You’ll get more enjoyment from physical activity after you quit smoking and, by gradually building up your exercise levels, you will soon improve your lung intake. Set yourself small targets and you’ll be surprised how quickly you’re able to do more, in fact your lung capacity will improve by up to 10% within nine months – you certainly won’t want to ruin your progress by lighting up!

Reduce stress

Many smokers blame their habit on stress but scientific studies show that people’s stress levels are lower after they stop smoking – nicotine addiction actually makes smokers stressed from the ‘withdrawal’ between cigarettes. Physical activity, on the other hand, will improve your state of mind and get the oxygen flowing, which will help you to concentrate better and increase your mental wellbeing. When you are working out, your body will release ‘feel good’ hormones which ease symptoms of depression and fatigue. Key hormones include serotonin, which regulates your mood, dopamine, which helps with concentration and nor epinephrine, which influences performance.

Increase energy

Within 2 to 12 weeks of stopping smoking, your circulation will improve, this will make all physical activity, including walking and running, much easier. Cardio exercise will get your heart pumping which means it won’t have to beat as often to circulate your blood – thus your resting heart rate will become slower, reducing demands on your body and meaning you will have more energy.

Boost immunity

Smoking depresses the body’s immune response so there is less protection from bacterial, viral and fungal infections. A smoker’s body is more toxic too, so the liver is more stressed – making it a target for disease. Quitting smoking will make it easier to fight off colds and flu. Regular exercise will better equip your body to distribute oxygen, as well as encourage efficient functioning of the lymphatic system by stimulating the muscles – this will promote the removal of toxins from your body.

Reduce visceral fat

There is increasing evidence that smoking causes greater accumulation of visceral fat, which surrounds your intestines and liver and is a serious health threat. The more you smoke, the more likely you are to store fat in your abdomen rather than on your hips and thighs. Quitting smoking and upping your aerobic activity and strength training will help you to lose visceral fat and gain muscle mass.

Myth Busters – some people say that quitting smoking makes you put on weight – wrong!

The fear of weight gain can often put smokers off quitting – but this is a poor excuse. You simply need to be aware of the changes that will be happening to your body and manage them accordingly.

Myths include the following:

Smoking keeps your hands and mouth occupied and people who quit replace this habit with food.

Myth buster: this needn’t be the case; it is just replacing habit for habit. Before reaching for food, distract yourself by doing the laundry, phoning a friend or, better still, go for a run. You certainly won’t regret substituting smoking with exercise – when you raise your activity levels, your body will release endorphins and you’ll feel great, which beats the creeping guilt, and sick feeling you get when smoking or binge eating!

Nicotine is an appetite suppressant, so when you quit your portion sizes increase.

Myth buster:  nicotine inhibits insulin and insulin breaks down the sugars in your blood stream. When you smoke, and there is less release of insulin, the sugar stays in your bloodstream and creates a hyperglycaemic condition in the smoker which gives the smoker a “fuller” feeling. This is actually dangerous and is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Nicotine is not a magic calorie burner by any means, exercise, on the other hand, can burn off 200-600 calories an hour as well as suppressing your appetite.

Your metabolism will slow down when you quit smoking, causing you to gain weight.

Myth buster: nicotine does elevate your metabolism; it also triggers a faster heartbeat which increases your chance for heart disease! When you quit you will burn calories at a slightly lower rate but, if you combat this with controlling what you eat and increasing your exercise, you can prevent any weight gain. You are more likely to exercise when you don’t smoke which will lead to long-term weight loss.

Smoking kills your taste buds, so when you quit you eat more.

Myth buster: developing a greater appreciation for the smell and taste of food should be something to embrace; your body is recovering from being dulled by the hundreds of toxic chemicals found in cigarettes! Actually you may become more sensitive to sugary and salty foods, take the opportunity to avoid sweet foods, introduce new flavours to your diet and sample seasonal fruit and vegetables. See our tips on healthy snacking below.

So, if you are a smoker – do not be afraid – Get fit and quit!

Review – Exante Diet – VLCD Meal Replacement Diet

Week started Pack Exante diet

I love food, I love my chocolate and I do not have regular meals as I should have… I like to eat in the evening, ideally after 10pm while watching some fascinating series on the TV as this is the time of the day I get really hungry… all of this put together means that I could do with losing some weight… so either I find some extra time for some “additional” exercises or I go on a diet…

Exante Diet LogoThere is no extra time during my 24h so diet it is…

I was offered to try Exante Diet, which is a meal replacement diet, for a week. Sure, why not – I thought to myself –how hard it could be… So, I said “yes, please” without giving it a second thought.

A few days later my VLCD meals arrived (VLCD stands for Very Low Calorie Diet… just in case you didn’t know that🙂)

So what did arrive in my pack?

  • Porridge oats x 1
  • Shakes x 6 in 4 different flavours: vanilla, chocolate, banana and strawberry
  • Diet bars x 3 in 2 flavours: toffee, nut & raison and chocolate orange
  • Soups x 11 in 4 different flavours: vegetable, tomato & basil, mushroom, Thai chicken
My food for the entire week - 21 packs... that's it!

My food for the entire week – 21 packs… that’s it!

Scary isn’t it? These 21 packets will feed me for a week… no snacking, no fruit, no proper food… just my VLCD meals and a lot of water…

I was going to do a Total Solution Exante Diet, which means I can only have 3 Exante products a day and there must be no additional meals, this would give me a daily intake of 600 calories.

After day one I knew that this isn’t going to happen… so I checked the website and decided to amend my weekly eating plan. I opted to change my plan into the Working Solution plan, which is a LCD diet (Low Calories Diet), which allows you 3 Exante Meals a day + an additional meal which in total cannot exceed 1000 calories (or 1200 calories on the Simple Solution Plan). This was the only way I could survive my weekly ordeal… I mean trail.

So how did it go?

It wasn’t so easy. Not so much because I was hungry and irritable, but because there was all this lovely food around and I couldn’t really have it. I think my state of mind was/is my biggest enemy. There is a lot of chocolate bars in the pantry or other sweets as Mark makes confectionary, and sometimes they will be there for weeks or even months, I will open the pantry have a look at them and decided no, not today and pick an apple or an orange instead… but as soon as I knew that I cannot have them (or let’s say shouldn’t have them)… all I could think about was those yummy chocolate bars hiding from me…

How were the meals?

Good, at least most of them. I didn’t receive any dinner like meals – no shepherd’s pie, no spaghetti Bolognese, no red bean chilli… which at first made me a bit panicky… if there are no dinner packs what will I eat…? but then I had soups…

These are actually very tasty

These are actually very tasty

From all the products received and eaten the Diet Bars were definitely my favourite. They look like standard food, they taste good and I really enjoyed them. I am almost sure I could survive on 3 bars a day 😉

Diet shakes were my 2nd favourite… I actually enjoyed all the flavours provided. The strawberry one could have had a slightly stronger taste for me, so when making it for the second time I just added less water… Checking Exante website I discover that there is so many more flavours to choose from – Chocolate Mint or Toffee Carmel look especially appealing to me…

Soups were all good if you spiced them up a bit… my thinking was that spices speed up your digestion process so it cannot hurt if I add a bit of fresh ground pepper or few chilli flakes… The soups were quick and easy to prepare, you just didn’t get a lot of it 😦

Porridge Oats… hmm… this is really not my cup of tea… or bowl of porridge… if you prefer. I am not a big fan of porridge, so I cannot really tell you if Exante porridge is any good as I have nothing to compare it to. One thing which I can tell you, you get 200ml of it, which is a lot for a morning meal… or at least it was looking a lot to me.

Would I do it again?

Yes, but…

I would do it again but with my personal choice of products. I think with the right mind-set the Excante diet could be very easy and almost a pleasurable way of losing weight.

Did I lose any weight or cm?

Yes. Even with my amended plan I lost 1.2kg during the week. It may not seems like a lot but…

  • I don’t have soooo much weight to lose
  • I didn’t follow the recommended procedure to the letter so… go figure…

My final words – if you want to, or have to lose weight and you have never tried a meal replacement diet before, I think you should give it a go. With price starting at only £3.87 a day it should not break your budget and it may just work for you. Exante Diet is all natural – the meals do not contain any aspartame, no MSG, no trans fats and most important no GM ingredients, so at least you know that you are providing your body with good quality food. One thing I would recommend though is to try all the different flavours, as I am sure not all of them will be right for you… pick what you like and stick to it… If you decide to give it a go, please let me know how you doing… I would really want to hear your thoughts.

.

I was provided with 21 meals free of charge for review purposes. All opinions expressed in this review are honest and my own.

Giveaway – formoline L112 – weight loss tablets – 10 boxes – 10 winners

formoline L112

Need to lose a few lbs before the Christmas party?

There’s still time thanks to formoline L112

If you’re worrying whether there’s still time to squeeze into your favourite LBD before the festivities begin, then formoline L112 can lend a helping hand.

Germany’s number 1 slimming product, formoline L112 is a certified Class lll medical device.

But this is no ordinary slimming pill. This is a practical ‘engineering’ solution to an essentially simple but persistent problem: if you consume more energy than you need for your body to function, your body stores the excess as fat. So to lose weight or prevent weight gain you need to reverse that equation.

formoline L112 helps you do just that. By using a naturally derived fibre that binds with fats, formoline reduces the overall calorie intake from food by removing a significant proportion of dietary fats at source, in the stomach.

The fibre is entirely inert, none is metabolised, and it passes safely through the system with the bound fats, removing them from your body before they are digested.

formoline L112 works specifically on fats (not sugar-based foods or carbohydrates) and so is most effective when calories are derived from a diet rich in processed foods that contain large amounts of saturated and trans fats. Unlike some fat-binding supplements, formoline does not require you to be in the close vicinity of a bathroom at all times.

Results show a possible weight loss of 7kg over a 4-week period.

formoline L112 can be used as part of a systematic weight loss programme or as an occasional use product when it isn’t possible to count calories, such as when on holiday or when dining with friends, and will help you to manage your overall intake of fat and fat-derived calories.

It also promotes a feeling of fullness, so users may naturally consume fewer calories. It does not act on the body’s metabolism and is very well tolerated. It is suitable for people with diabetes as there is no carbohydrate exchange value and it can help to lower cholesterol intake.

formoline L112 is an award-winning, trusted slimming product that has graced the headlines in Germany (for all the right reasons), for more than twelve years. German users have learned to adapt their use of formoline L112 according to their circumstances and it is used as much by those trying to maintain their weight as those trying to lose excess weight. Now it’s time for slimmers in the UK to employ a little “weight loss durch Technik!”

formoline L112 usually costs £24.95 for 48 tablets but I have 10 boxes to give away to 10 of my lovely readers.

And if you cannot wait until the competition ends you can use a special £10.00 money-off voucher. Simply go to www.healthstuff.co.uk, order your formoline L112 and type in SLIM112 when you get to the checkout. The promo code is valid until 31st January 2014.

So what you need to do in order to take part in this competition?

The rules are simple, as always 🙂

Please follow my blog and leave a comment: I would like to know if you have any special tips for weight management – maybe you know some “magic” diet I’ve never heard of… please do share anything that can help others to loose or control their weight

Daily additional entry: Follow me on Twitter and RT the competition message as stated below, and then please leave a comment telling me that you have done so.

XLS Medical Fat Binder – Day 1

XLS

Thanks to Spreaditfast and Pharmacy2u today I am starting my journey with XLS Medical Fat Binder.

I received two months supply of these tablets, so I will keep you updated on my progress.

Today is day 1.

I measured and weighed myself and promised to watch what I am eating. I was never great with diets, simply because I could never stick to any routine, but I like what XLS has to offer, so I hope to see some results.

XLS medial fat binder is made with the clinically proven fat binder, Litramine and essential fat soluble Vitamins. XLS is clinically proven to bind dietary fats before it replenishes the body with fat soluble Vitamins. XLS is an effect weight management tool that helps you to reduce more weight than dieting and exercise alone thus proving to be a successful aid to your weight loss. XLS does not have any nasty side effects as reported to happen with other slimming products.

XLS fat binder is a certified medical device product for the treatment and prevention of excess weight and general weight management. XLS uses Circadin technology to facilitate a sequential release of first Litramine and secondly fat soluble vitamins. Firstly the fibre complex Litramine binds readily with fat from food and becomes a large fat fibre complex. As the fat fibre complex is too large to be absorbed in the small intestine, it is eventually excreted from your body. After the fat binding phase, the essential fat soluble Vitamin A,D and E are released and absorbed in the body. This optimizes the availability of fat soluble vitamins for absorption by your body.
