If
you really want to increase your chances of success in your weight loss program
you also need to focus on diet and exercise.
Diet
We recommend a low carbohydrate diet as a complement to our product. These diets
are pretty easy to follow because they do not stress calorie or fat restriction.
You can eat allowed foods until you're satisfied and therefore you'll usually
never feel hungry.
How do these diets work? Glucose is the body's preferred fuel source, so when
starches and sugars are consumed, they are converted to glucose and burned for
energy leaving fats with nowhere to go except storage. If glucose is not
available because of carbohydrate restriction, the body will burn its stored fat
for energy.
A Low Carb diet will work for any healthy adult who wants to lose body fat and
retain muscle mass while not feeling deprived.

You'll notice that you have a wide selection of
foods to choose from and the ability to put together some interesting salads
utilizing veggies and meat, for example. From chicken Caesar with bacon bits to
a Southwestern Chicken salad there are some delicious options available to you.
Here's the great part. Since calories still do count, even on a low carb diet,
and since fat contains the highest concentration of calories per gram of any
food, you can feel free to use salad dressings sparingly on your salads without
concern for the calories because
HerbalCeuticals™ 321 will absorb a good portion of
them before you ingest them. Combine
HerbalCeuticals™ HGH for even greater results in
achieving optimal body tone and overall wellbeing.
To expand your choices even further you might want to see if there is a low carb
market in your area. These stores are becoming very popular with the increased
interest in these diets and they will offer you a wide variety of low carb
snacks, pastries, etc.
Exercise
At the end of the day, no matter which diet you choose, calories still count.
Therefore the more energy you use in the course of a day the faster you will see
results. The only way to consume energy efficiently is through aerobic exercise.
What exactly is aerobic exercise? Simply put, any activity that approaches your
target heart rate* but leaves you breathing evenly (getting your so-called
"second wind") and is of at least 20 minutes duration constitutes aerobic
exercise.
Aerobic exercise burns more calories per minute than weight training or
anaerobic exercise, although since the muscle is the engine which burns the
calories you should include some strength training as part of your exercise
program. You don't need to join a gym or buy expensive equipment; a simple pair
of dumbbells will suffice.
You can't beat running or jogging when it comes to burning the maximum number of
calories per minute of exercise. To start, however, you should begin with a
walking regimen followed by a Jog n' Walk routine. The idea is to keep a heart
rate at your target level for a sustained period of time, no less than 20
minutes as mentioned. As you begin to lose weight and your conditioning improves
you may eventually graduate to Running only.
If running or jogging doesn't happen to be your cup of tea, or if knee or back
problems prevent it, there are other aerobic exercises you can engage in which
will give you decent results.
* For target heart rate…subtract your age from 220.
75%-85% of that number is your target heart rate range.
You Can Do It!
You've got all the tools you need to construct a better body and improve the
level of your overall health and fitness. Be patient. Stick to your plan, be
consistent and just remember: a surely as 1+1=2, you will lose weight…you must
lose weight if you expend more calories than your body absorbs. It's simple
mathematics.
HerbalCeuticals™ 321 gives you a head start by blocking the absorption of a
large percentage of those calories, the ones which come from fat. Now it's all
up to you to finish the race and do it! Because at HerbalCeuticals™ we believe
in our product but most importantly, we believe in you!
