Lipovox Review Superfood

or Superhype?

As stated on the Lipovox website:

"Lipovox Diet Pill is the new wonder product that promises significant weight loss with the added bonus of acne-free and wrinkle-free skin in a short period of time. Lipovox contains the "10 Superfoods" and super antioxidants extracts that will make you burn 400% more fat and vibrantly looking young."

Sounds pretty good, right?

Before we buy into the Lipovox hype let’s take a step back and review how to look younger and lose weight.

What do we know about aging?

Aging is essentially a breakdown of our DNA by oxidizing agents known as free radicals. Once our DNA starts to break down our body is less effective at repairing it. That’s where antioxidants come in. Antioxidants help to block these free radicals and prevent the damage.

What do we know about weight loss?

I’ll keep it short since I have so many articles here about it. Suffice it to say there are no magic bullets but there are things that can help.

Lipovox review of ingredients:

Brazilian Acai: If you’ve read my other acai berry articles you know I’m not a big believer in its weight loss abilities. With that said acai berry does show promise in having strong antioxidant qualities.

Cayenne Pepper Fruit: Contains capsaicin which has an established record of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and heart-healthy effects. Also high in antioxidant carotenes and flavonoids, and vitamin C. Cayenne has also been shown to increase your metabolic rate helping you to burn body fat at a much higher rate.

Garlic: Helps lower bad cholesterol lessening the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), may aid in lowering blood pressure and the risk of blood clots. Also known for its antibacterial and antiviral properties.

Soybeans Isoflavones: Soybeans have been studied for decades for their numerous health benefits.

Barley: High fiber content which has numerous health and weight loss advantages but probably at to low of a concentration to really make a difference. Barley also contains high levels of Vitamin E which is an antioxidant.

Wheatgrass: Well known for its numerous vitamin and mineral concentrations.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus: Acidophilus is a healthy and necessary bacteria found in our gut that helps aid in digestion. It aids in keeping yeast from overtaking your GI tract.

Alfalfa Sprouts: Love or hate them they are very nutritious. Sprouts have a high enzyme content which has a positive effect on the body especially as we age and have more difficulty producing enzymes.

Flaxseed: High in omega 3 “essential” fatty acids and lignans (an antioxidant) which have been well studied for their positive effects on the body.

Buckwheat: Well known health effects. Helps aid in controlling spikes in blood sugar levels following meals.

Green Tea Extract: Numerous research articles about the positive effects as an antioxidant and an aid in weight loss.

Salmon Oil Powder: An enhanced form of fish oil. Contains omega 3 fatty acids which have numerous health benefits.

Alpha Lipoic Acid: ALA is a highly potent antioxidant that helps protect the mitochondria and the genetic material, DNA.

DMAE: Short term studies have shown an increase in alertness, with a positive influence on mood. Studies on animals actually showed an increase in their lifespan. It may not have a direct effect on weight loss but increased stress levels have been well documented as a cause of weight gain.

Lipovox Side Effects:

My only concern would be DMAE. The effects of taking large quantities of it are unknown at this time. I wouldn't be concerned at these levels though unless you are taking large doses of it.

Lipovox Review Conclusion:

After reviewing Lipovox I have to say that their claims about making you look younger and aiding in weight loss are not as far fetched as I initially suspected. Nothing is going to stop you from aging but there are a lot of things that can slow it down and sometimes reverse some of the damage and Lipovox shows a lot of promise.

I am putting Lipovox on my list of recommended dietary supplements and would recommend you try it for yourself. If you do try it or have already, leave me your feedback in the comments section.

Strategies on how to lose fat normally centers on specific dietary approaches. However, there are many factors aside from controlling how many grams of fat you consume each day that can help accelerate your fat loss. In this article we will look at two different nutrition research studies that reveal key strategies for effective and permanent weight loss.

Weight Gaining Behavior - A 2004 study published by Dr. David Levitsky examined the eating behaviors of college freshman at Cornell University. He found that the students whom gained the most weight had 3 common characteristics:

1. "All You Can Eat" Dining
2. Snacking On High Fat Junk Foods
3. Increased Frequency of Snacking on Junk Foods

The problem here is that humans don't snack well. We don't regulate our caloric intake over time such that if we eat an extra 300 calories as a snack mid morning then we won't eat 300 calories less at lunch.

You need to be careful when it comes to snacking. Most snacks are carbohydrate and/or sugar based. AVOID these snacks at all costs. They will balloon your calories and carbohydrate intake, pulling you right out of the fat burning zone. Instead focus on eating protein and fiber rich snacks. This one behavior change will make a huge different in your journey to lose more weight.

In regards to "All You Can Eat" Dining, this is just a bad idea. Control your environment. We are very sensitive to visual cues such as plate size, amount of food, glass size/style, etc. "All You Can Eat" Dining is setting yourself up for dieting failure - avoid it at all costs so you can control your calorie intake with ease.

Stress, Exercise, and Support - Another famous study, the Lifestyle Heart Trial, reveals to us 3 crucial behavior changes that we must make for permanent and fast weight loss. Between 1977-1980, a group of people were put on the Ornish Diet as part of the Lifestyle Heart Trial. The Ornish Diet is a vegetarian diet that is very low in fat (less than 10% of calories from fat). Because of the severe fat restriction many find this diet hard to adhere to for the long term. However, during the Lifestyle Heart Trial the participants experienced phenomenal results such as regression of heart attack causing plaques in their arteries. Ever since this original study, similar results using the Ornish Diet have never been replicated.

Why?

Because the people in the study were implementing more than just a diet; they also did regular exercise (3 hours per week), meditation and relaxation (1 hour per day), and participated in 2 group support sessions each week. The addition of the other factors made the diet so much more effective.

Most people are probably already adding exercise to their weight loss plan but many miss regular stress management and developing a strong support system. These are make or break pieces to your fat loss puzzle. Adding exercise, stress management techniques, and finding a support system will greatly enhance your weight loss results.

If you are having trouble losing weight or if you have hit a weight loss plateau examine your current fat loss efforts. Do you actively manage the stress in your life? Do you have a support team? What kinds of foods are you snacking on? Do you control the portions you eat by avoiding "All You Can Eat" events?

Honestly answer these questions. Find the holes in your plan. Change them and get your fat loss back on track.

Hoodia Gordonii
Side Effects

I was recently asked if herbal Hoodia affected fertility. In all honesty I had no idea so I decided to research Hoodia Gordonii to find out what the side effects are.

Before I go into the side effects of Hoodia let’s take a look and see why it has taken off as the new diet pill everyone wants.

Hoodia Gordonii:

Other Names: xhooba, ikhoba, Ghaap, South African desert cactus

Hoodia is a cactus like plant found in the semi-desert areas of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola.

It has been used for thousands of years by natives in the Kalahari desert who relied on it to ward off hunger and thirst during long hunting trips.

Needless to say that once people around the world caught on to this it rapidly rose to ascension as a new weight loss supplement. So much so that it has garnered the attention of pharmaceutical companies who are currently studying the chemical compound p57 found in it for future diet pills.

Hoodia Gordonii Side Effects:

So does herbal hoodia affect fertility?

I haven’t been able to find a legitimate source saying it does which leads me to believe nobody knows. With that said what are some of the side effects of this new weight loss supplement?

So far the side effects are relatively unknown. A few researchers studying it for pharmaceutical purposes believe that it may negatively affect the liver. Considering that there haven’t been any long term studies on the side effects, I would suggest caution if you have any health problems.

With any diet pill I always recommend not taking it if you are pregnant or nursing, a child, or someone with liver, kidney, or heart disease.

Where to buy Hoodia Gordonii?

Scam Alert:

You need to be aware that there are many scams at the moment for herbal hoodia diet pills. You should only buy from trusted sources. A lot of companies claim to have Hoodia in it but the only type that works is Hoodia Gordonii.

If you would like to try Hoodia Gordonii I would recommend M-80 with Hoodia (120 Caps) Intense Appetite Suppressant & Fat Burner

M-80 with Hoodia (120 Caps) Intense Appetite Suppressant & Fat Burner M-80 by LBI nutrition!  Mega fat loss supplement with hoodia helps control cravings via appetite suppression, and also assists with fat burning via metabolism boost.  Benefits of M-80 include: * Helps Control Blood Sugar * Targeteted fat loss * Promote Mental Focus & Clarity * Sustained Energy Levels * Metabolize Stored Body Fat * Enhance Libido * Enhance Mood Support * Help Eliminate Fatigue * Body Detox * Metabolize Stored Body Fat * Enhance Libido * No Crash * No Jitters M-80 by LBI Nutrition is a necessary component of your weight maintenance program!

Hydroxycut Review

Cardio exercise is such a strange thing.  In theory, it should work so perfectly well for all men and women, but as anyone who has tried it knows, the practicality of it just doesn't add up.

After all, some men and women do cardio 6 hours, 9 hours, or more per week, and still have belly fat to burn. On the other hand, it works just fine for others.

British researchers wanted to get more insight into this paradox, and studied 35 overweight men and women, who weren't previously exercising.

(Reference: International Journal of Obesity 32: 177-184, 2008).

Subjects exercised 5 times per week for 12 weeks.  That's a lot of exercise, but it helped the subjects lose an average of 8.2 pounds, which is great - I was positively surprised by the results.

So cardio will work for some people, however, in my experience, it works best in young men, who need the help the least!

Back to the study, the variance in fat loss between individuals was huge. Check this out...

The best subject lost a staggering 32.3 pounds in 12 weeks, while the worst subject actually GAINED 3.74 pounds.

The scientists think they know where things went sour.  They classified the subjects into 2 groups, called the "Compensators"
and the "Non-compensators".

The Compensators were hungrier, and as a result consumed an extra 268 calories per day, all but wiping out their cardio efforts.

Therefore, the Compensators lost the least amount of weight, and scientists believe that was due to the huge "compensatory" increase in appetite experienced by this group.

Does your appetite increase when you do slow cardio?  If it does, research shows it will ruin your cardio efforts.

So if your cardio program is not working for you, check your appetite and calorie intake to see if you are "compensating" for your efforts. If you are, you might be better off using a program of high-intensity resistance and interval training (i.e. Turbulence Training) for your weight loss efforts.

As Australian Professor Steve Boucher has shown in research, interval training increases hormones called catecholamines.  And increased catecholamines can reduce appetite, among other fat-burning benefits.

In the real world, few people lose 33 pounds after 12 weeks of cardio. Heck, few even achieve an average weight loss of 8 pounds with aerobic exercise.

So again, check your appetite, and consider giving high-intensity exercise a go for your next workout program.

Beat the curse of cardio with high-intensity Turbulence Training.

Feeling fat or just want to lose a few inches?

Then you need to keep reading. I am going to show you fast and easy weight loss tips that will help you to lose the fat and give you the body you desire.

Before you embark on this weight loss journey you need to understand that there are no lose weight fast diets that work. Yes you can lose 12 lbs in a few days but it will be 90% water, and you know what, you'll gain it right back. If you want to get rid of that extra fat without the work then go see a plastic surgeon and get liposuction.

Dramatically speed up your metabolism and weight loss with these fast and easy weight loss tips.

Fast Weight Loss Tip #1:

Put down those cupcakes.

My number one most important tip for everyone starting out, that is serious about losing weight, is to cut out the sugar. If you want to start seeing dramatic changes around the waste and thighs then you must start here. Don’t even waste your time with diets until you get your sugar cravings under control.

Fast Weight Loss Tip #2:

Drink Water

Water is one of the best appetite suppressants known. A fast and easy way to start losing weight is by drinking a glass of water before each meal. The added volume will fill up your stomach, causing you to eat less, and consume fewer calories. If you want to lose weight faster then you need to drink water.

Fast Weight Loss Tip #3:

Eat More Frequently

No, I didn’t say eat more food. I want you to eat smaller amounts of food more frequently. The best way to lose weight is by speeding up your metabolism and one surefire way to do that is to let your body know that it has a steady fuel source. Losing weight is all about getting the body to burn more calories. If it knows that it has plenty of fuel then it won't worry about storing calories as fat.  Read Insulin: The Fat Hormone to understand why.

Fast Weight Loss Tip #4:

Bust out the Metamucil

All kidding aside you really need to eat more fiber in your diet. Like water it helps to fill you up without all of the extra calories. Make it a habit that when you go grocery shopping to check the food label and see how much fiber is in it. If you want to see those pounds melt away add some fiber to those meals.

Fast Weight Loss Tip #5:

Lose the Scale

Do you walk around with your weight tattooed on your forehead? Then why would you use it as a measure of how you look?

Your scale doesn’t read: skinny-just right-fat-OMG you’re huge

Then why do you care what your weight is? You need to ditch the scale and start measuring your problem areas or better yet buy a body fat analyzer. They have scales that measure your percent body fat, weight, and percent water. Most body fat monitors even have built in trackers. The question you should be asking yourself is do I want to weigh less or look better?

That ends my fast weight loss tips for today. These weight loss tips are meant as a starting point. Once you have mastered these you will have already lost a lot of unwanted fat. Be sure to read my other articles for more fast and easy weight loss tips.

Now go out and start looking good.
