Apple Cider Vinegar Diet - Review

Apple Cider Vinegar Diet - Review

Apple Cider Vinegar also known as ACV has been touted online as a cure all tonic and natural weight loss aid.  Whether or not all of the reports are true is not what I am reviewing, but rather the reports of Apple Cider Vinegar resulting in weight loss by just drinking one tablespoon in the morning, afternoon and evening or before each meal. 

What I want to find out is can I lose weight by just drinking a little Apple Cider Vinegar.  I am not changing anything right now, other than drinking the ACV.  They say that Apple Cider Vinegar is a natural appetite suppressant. 

For my weight loss experiment with Apple Cider Vinegar diet I have decided to use an organic, raw and unfiltered brand of AVC.  I used the Bragg brand of Apple Cider Vinegar and found it at my GNC store.  Bragg states that their Apple Cider Vinegar helps with weight control and I cannot wait to find out if that is true.

I do have to say that the Apple Cider Vinegar tastes nasty, but if it works as a diet aid, it will be well worth it.  It is best to drink the Apple Cider Vinegar for weight loss in a cup of water.  I probably will combine the Apple Cider Vinegar with olive oil for a salad dressing to help with the taste.  It also helps that I consider it medicine to help me lose weight and medicine does not taste good. 

I will try for a while and report back here.

The Carbohydrate Addict diet - Review

The Carbohydrate Addict Diet Book Review- Low Carb Diet

I love carbs!  I am addicted to carbohydrates.  Sounds like a group confession.  Anyways I thought because I like to eat carbs that I might benefit from this Carbohydrate Addict Diet.  I had tried this diet for about 3 days a long time ago and thought maybe I didn't do it right and would give it another go.

The last time I tried The Carbohydrate Addict Diet I read all the authors warnings against people with low blood sugar not using this diet.  I have always thought that I may have low blood sugar, but it has never been doctor confirmed.  Well during the first run years ago I tried it for three days and got massive headaches and thought it wasn't worth the pain.

Well desperate times call for desperate measures.  I thought I would try the diet again - regardless of the headaches that may come.  Besides that is why we have Advil and Tylenol for right.  The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet:  The Lifelong Solution to Yo-Yo Dieting written by Dr. Rachael F. Heller and Dr. Richard F. Heller.  Written by two doctors so how could you go wrong?

I love the concept behind the diet.  Eat 2 low carb diet meals and then get a reward meal.  What a reward meal, for one week I had dessert with dinner every night.  Then I had a weigh in and I did not lose a pound.  Very disappointing.  My husband did the diet with me and lost 8 pounds in a week on this diet.  So how could I not lose anything?  I am confused, I followed the diet and did not cheat, and didn't lose any weight.  I feel like I lost a week on this diet.  There are other Diets I know that I could have used and at least lost 1 to 2 pounds in a week on them.

So I guess I am on to the next fad diet or some dieting book not sure what it will be - but the search continues.

My Job is Making Me FAT

Help, My job is making me Fat! 

If you work in any type of food industry just seeing and smelling food can make you hungrier.  So yes you can get fat by just working in and around food.  It doesn't mean that you will but the potential is there.  Especially for me because I don't actually get a lunch break.  I am able to eat the food and for free but I have a limited amount of time in which to eat anywhere from three to seven minutes.  I don't know about you but I can't enjoy a meal and take my time and savor each bite when I am cramming a slice of pizza down my throat so my stomach will stop grumbling and my headache will go away. 

Other work place hazards include snack machines, break rooms, candy bowls on desks, co-workers birthdays and party's.  If you are trying to lose weight or just trying to not gain weight while at work you will have to remain vigilant and watch out for all those little extras that try to sneak up on you while at work.  Don't let your job make you fat.

My New New Exercise Workout Routine

No I didn't make a mistake in the title.  This is really new, well not really, but it's new this month anyway.  I have decided to start back on the exercise bike again this week.  I am going to ride my exercise bike for about 20 minutes for five times a week.

I know the exercise bike works, I have personally seen results.  I just need to keep motivated and start my new good exercise habit and keep it up.  I am looking for a dieting twofer here:  1. more energy 2. more calories burned and weight loss.

Here's to hoping it works out!

Skinny People Don't Eat Much!

I have come to the conclusion that skinny people just don't eat that much.  I am not sure if it is because they are not that hungry or that they don't want to get fat.  Either way they eat less than most overweight Americans.  They don't eat much and stay lean, meanwhile the rest of us are actually overfeeding ourselves.

Some proof that skinny people don't eat much comes from this book - Is She Naturally Thin or Disciplined?  Insider Secrets of the Sexy and Slim by Sally Shields.   


Most of the women in the book have always been thin and they don't eat very much.  I also read an article about Kelly Ripa who is skinny and it sounds like she doesn't eat very much either.  She said something about eating dessert that just sounds crazy to me.  Kelly Ripa said that if she has dessert in the house she will eat it but then she might not have dessert for another three months.  More proof right there that skinny people don't eat much. But it also made me think and helped me get back on my diet track.

I have started a new calorie restrictive diet and actually get hungry and hear my stomach rumble.  It has been a very long time since that has been happening to me, which means I have been eating way too much.  It really sucks because I like to eat and society is built around food gatherings.  Because I want to be skinny I am willing to go on another diet and try to lose weight.

College Weight Diet Book

Diet & Workout to help you get back to your College Weight

The College Dorm Workout written by Joyce L. Vedral and her daughter Simone Marthe


Are you currently in college and don't want to gain the Freshman 15 or 20 or more?  Or maybe you just want to get back to that college weight ( that's what I am working for) Then you should look into this book.  It has a diet plan and a workout routine, that works.  I know it is old but I have used this book over the years since I graduated from college to lose weight and it consistently has allowed me to lose up to 20 pounds a few times over.

Dukan Diet Reviewed

I started the Dukan Diet because the princess Kate Middleton lost weight for the big wedding on it.  We Americans all know that the French seem to have something in the dieting area.  The Dukan Diet is the number one diet in France and is now making a name in the US.   The Dukan Diet 2 Steps to Lose the Weight, 2 Steps to Keep it off forever Book was Created by Dr. Pierre Dukan.

I tried the Dukan Diet and wanted to follow the attack phase for the total of 10 days.  I could only stay on the Dukan diet for 3 days.  I found it to be too restrictive and very similar to the Adkins diet.  The difference between Dukan and Adkins was that you have to eat lean proteins on the Dukan Diet.  You aren't even allowed to eat the yummy fatty bacon.  


It was a novel idea and sounds good in the book and in theory.  But the Dukan Diet did not work in my real life.  I work around food and the food I work with and can eat for free was not on the attack phase of the diet.  I also have a super sweet tooth and this had no allowances for that, not even fruit, which made this part of the diet ultra hard for me.

My New Exercise Routine

Exercise is important to weight loss.
Others will disagree but I know for a fact that it can make a difference.  I have lost weight with exercise and lost that same weight without exercise.  I still lost the weight without exercising but I did not have the same energy after the time I didn't use exercise with my diet.  Not only did I not have much energy, my body looks fatter and my stomach is flabbier.

So now I need to find an exercise that I can do that I will keep up.  Right now I am being lazy and don't want to get on the treadmill, bike or do any exercise videos.  So I came up with this "brilliant" plan to run up and down the stairs.  Well I was going to add once more up and down the steps every day until I reach 100 because that seemed like a good number.  Today I wanted to quit and I am only up to 5 times.  I did it but when I was finished and felt like I was going to die and never wanted to go up the stairs again, I had a light bulb moment.  Who said I have to run up the stairs, sure it would be much better for me, but if I give up after 5 days then it does me no good.  So now I am just going to climb the stairs adding once more each day, only not running, it will be walking or at a jogging pace.

Well I don't know if it will work or not, but I know I have to do something.  So I will see how long this lasts. Because I need to feel better about my self and look more toned and in shape.

Diet Diva  - Who Am I?
I am a stay at home mom now working a part time job of 3 kids and a loving husband.  Unfortunately I am still trying to lose the baby weight.  My first two pregnancies I lost weight much more easier.  But with the third and final child and a slower metabolism (which I never really believed in when I was younger) and I still need to lose weight.  I have been on many diets over the past 15 years I thought I would share a little bit with others so that they might be able to lose weight too.
