Yes, apple cider vinegar is very good on vegetables, baked potatoes and salads and will save you lots of calories, because you won't have to put marjarine on these foods. I also sprinkle a little garlic to taste and a little lemon juice.

Garlic tabs and CLA.  Garlic is fairly cheap, so I would go that route.  It also boosts immune system, its great!

I read recently a similar description from someone who said that it all cleared up after his wife started serving them thin sliced onions with a little salad vinegar 2-3 times a week and adding fresh garlic to soups and stews.  This might sound a little strange until you consider that the onions, garlic and vinegar are all naturally anti-biotic.  In World War I and II military doctors used garlic juice as an anti-biotic (with terrific results) when other anti-biotics were not available.  They knew to do this from study of history.  It has been used thusly for centuries.\n\n"Let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food."\n---Hippocrates 400 BC

Yep, tis simple. Limit your food intake(reasonably) drink lots of water and excercise. Don't tamper with those pills. \n\nSomething else that helps is apple cider vinegar pills. It's just pure apple cider vinegar, but if you are that concerned about losing weight talk to your doctor or dietician. ;)

I feel that it is better to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and nuts to lose weight. You get all the fresh nutrients of the whole fruits and vegetables. When fruits are dried you lose some Vitamin C. Dried fruits have a long shelf life though.\n\nThe second link below tell about the benefits of eating Prunes and losing weight.\n\nI wish you the best in finding a way to lose weight and to eat right.

Gropefruit can help with weight loss.  It has a compound called nangarin that helps. It's not going to be a magic bullet though. You still have to exercise and reduce calories. \n\nAlso, make sure you get enough calcium and chromium. And have a small portion of protein with every meal. It helps keep blood sugar stable.

Garlic is very good for you, so yeah, it's more than okay. \n\nWhen I cook with it, I saute in a bit of olive oil making it soft, not for a long time either, if we overcook it, it loses it's health properties, so just slightly is best.  \n\nIt's super good with lots of recipes. Years ago, I would eat the bulbs raw, but it's much better cooked with pasta or food. Just tastes better.\n\nI use Kyolic odorless capsules on a daily basis.\n\nGarlic protects our tissues, has antioxidant properties which protect us from free radicals, lowers total serum cholesterol along with lowering our LDL (bad cholesterol) and increases our good cholesterol (HDL). \n\nIt increases our circulation, is good for our heart, the list goes on and on. As you can see, yes, Garlic is very good for a person, so nothing bad can come from eating it.\n\nI would have your friend ease up a bit, it will start to eventually come out of her pores and she will smell. Capsules are much better over all.

Yogurt...see article taken from source below:\n\nHealth experts have concluded that yogurt could help dieters lose up to 14 pounds, but the finding comes with a catch.\n\nResearchers at the University of Tennessee found that people who ate Yoplait Light Yogurt as part of their overall weight-loss program lost significantly more weight than people who did not eat the yogurt.\n\nThe experts said yogurt appears to boost the body's ability to burn fat, which makes weight loss easier.\n\nDieters, however, should not rely solely on yogurt, according to the researchers. They said it works only in concert with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise.

Certainly, as long as you are eating healthy cereal with lots of vitamins, minerals and don't forget about your protein. Adding whole fruits like berries, melons, apples or bananas would be helpful as well. Ceareals are a great low fat alternative and great for weight loss. However, in the long term it would be best to add a least one regular meal a day to your diet.

Hiya!  Ok over the last 6 months I lost 45lbs.  I researced the web over looking for the easy answers. But it comes back to age old news.. Nutrition and exercise.  I chose a low fat diet, much like a diabetic's diet.  Lots of fruits and vegetables, and my special touch was diet green tea made by arizona tea which has ginsing which helps promote the metabolism.  I exercised 3x a week 30 min at curves just cardio.  Believe it or not you do not have to starve, just eat healty and eat in portions, and exercise.  Eating portions I think was very important. When I started portioning my food I really realized at that point how much I had been over eating. An example.. I love spaghetti, but an acutal portion is 1 cup.  Put one cup on your plate lol and look at the difference from your normal portion.  And I thought oh god I'm still going to be hungry. Not... I added a salad, with low cal dressing and 1 slice of bread no butter only garlic.  You can balance your meal. And not be hungry.  But I also believe that more mature women need exercise and putting in that 30 min 3 x a week really works.\nI also took a daily vitamin.. Try the new oil of olay ones it is a multi package of vitamins.  And I found that these do not make me hungry.

Try eating plenty of garlic either in the food you eat or in capsule form ,garlic cleans fat deposits out of your arteries and veins leaving more room for the blood to flow.

The theory behind Acupuncture for weight loss, is that it may help to curb appetite, depress cravings, rid excess water, and stimulate the pituitary gland to burn off extra calories. Scientific studies do not seem to strongly support this notion at present however

I'm assuming you want to know what you can take to lower your blood pressure. Take two tablespoons of \norganic apple cider vinegar everyday. Also, cayenne pepper in the capsule form with a glass of water. These items can be found at the natural health food section of most grocery stores. Works great.
