by Cecile Cinco

by Cecile Cinco

What is the statistics of adults having belly fat and those who do not? Among those who do, how many are men and how many are women? Between the two categories, it seems that more women are more concerned in reducing those love handles than men. Continue reading »

Dangers Of Phentremine or Phentermine

by Cecile Cinco

Have you ever heard of phentermine (sometimes misspelled as phentremine)? A contraction for ??phenyl-tertiary-butylamine which is an appetite suppressant to help obese patients reduce weight. According to the phentermine reviews, not only does it not do what it’s supposed to do but it’s doing what it should not do! If you’re one of those who buys such, better do your due diligence to learn more about it so you can see your options and know what else you have to do. Continue reading »

Appetite Suppressants

by Cecile Cinco

I have been thinking of appetite suppressant this past week. I always feel hungry and it seems that while in my I have been in my biking program, I find myself eating more carbo than usual. Well, of course, you’d say. I need it for burning. Well, can’t my fats burn first?

The other day, my sister gave me some wheat germ. My mom bought it from Manila Sanitarium when she attended a nutrition seminar last Dec. 6. I think I got about 1/4kg and none of my kids liked it. I loved it. It was my snack when I was young. I grew up with it! Continue reading »

Purging Love Handles

by Cecile Cinco

Depending on how one looks at me, I can be called fat or slim. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and either can be beauty for one what may be the opposite of the other. Advertisements that spoonfeed the viewing public seem to be successfully mesmerizing (the public) in generalizing a rule for what beauty is: slim figure without love handles. Continue reading »

Slim Down For Health Reasons If Not For Vanity

by Cecile Cinco

I’m not that fat. I just got heavier and have bulges where they used to be flat and wished they remained flat. After having 3 children and activities that made my fingers do the walking, it seems that I’m going to say goodbye to my body which I had less than 2 decades ago.

I loved my body then. Not because of beauty but because I was agile, strong and healthy. I rode a bike like I was a guy. I swam the beaches going the farthest. I played volleyball like there was no other day. I played bowling 15-20 games a day. (Paying those games is beside the point…I always played loser’s pay and usually start and end with the same money I had in my pocket.) Continue reading »

Ways To Slim Down

by Cecile Cinco

Despite the economy, we still find that many are getting obese, especially in the American society. Food is what America is blessed with. It wouldn’t matter if everything is natural like fruits and vegetables and wheat, but they are also rich in junk food.

Getting obese is actually an eating habit. Look at the French people. They have red wine. Drank moderately after eating, wine, which is rich in proanthenols, helps in getting their body fit and slim. Continue reading »

What Do You Think?

by Cecile Cinco

It is but human to choose the fastest solution. Existing in the world of instant, we’d like everything done fast, reached fast, finished fast, eaten fast, drank fast, and lost fast.

Many lose-weight-fast come-ons are seen every day offline and more especially so online. Many do work. The problem is, will they stay? Is there no side effect?

Have you tried ephedrine? What is your experience with it? Did it keep it’s promises? What’s the after-effect? Are you still using it? If you have stopped, why?

Let me know, ok?

My Diet Move

by Cecile Cinco

I used to have a sweatshirt which print I designed and it read: “I’ve been on a diet for two weeks and all I lost was two weeks!” I’ve lost the shirt too, and two decades too. I don’t remember how I lost the shirt.

I’m not obese nor am I slim. It seems that the problem manifests more on my belly than any other part of my body! If only I could chop it off with a butcher’s knife without getting hurt, perhaps I did long time ago.

Exercise should play a role in my slimming down but it’s a hard habit to build and an easy one to break. I know I should. So many excuses.

I got to do something, and I did. I lessened my rice intake. I just eat half cup of rice now with more viand than usual. I think it works, though slowly. Taking appetite suppressant is not yet on my list since I can still suppress it.

What about you?
