if you are really concerned about your weight you definately should go on a diet, not necessarily a fad diet (atkins) but an eat-food-that-is-healthy diet. This paired with the new Trimspa pill that doesent have any Ephedra (yeah I know it sucks having to take something that is endoursed by a stupid whore, but it really works). My advice would be to take this pill (according to the directions on the back) and have four really small, really healthy meals plus one good sized meal (in the middle of the day) which should still be healthy. The trimspa pretty much is only an appetite reducer so you will want to make yourself eat all of these meals whether you are hungry or not, because you dont want to deplet yourself of vital nutrients that your body needs. Also I would reccomend taking a multivitamen (which will help make up for some of the vitamens you will be lacking in your dieting) and most of all I would reccomend taking a dietary supplement called CLA (good stuff, helps increase burning of fat by increasing lean muscle production NATURALLY with NO side effects, more info here:
http://www.wellnesspartners.com/tonalin/?s=g&p=cla) I've been taking this for a while and it's great stuff. Also, one more thing, if you can get or have access to a swimming pool you should try swimming laps. This exorsize is great for increasing your metabolism and is easy on your joints and ligaments. It's kinda hard starting out swimming laps so dont push yourself so much that you hate it, just make sure that your heart rate is up and rest when you have to. Eventually you will be looking forward to your daily swim because it makes you feel great physically and mentally. It would be good if you could do this Cardio exorsize in the morning so that your metabolism stays up all day, but if you cant make it to the pool till later dont freak out it's not that big a deal. And remember (I didn't state this before) you should reward yourself for working hard through the week by treating yourself to a good meal of your choice ONCE a week, this helps your body realize that it isn't starving and will keep it from going into "starvation mode" and is something to look forward to, dont over do it though (eight BigMacs is not one meal). This diet/exorsize/dietary supplement intake WILL give you results, and if you have any questions PM me.
