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.

Slimquick Razor Diet Pills Review

Lose weight with Slimquick Razor Diet Pills?  They claim you can  lose up to 25 pounds while using this product.


I have used some of the other Slimquick diet products and not had any success.  I thought I would give this one a try because it looked different and I was desperate for some help to lose weight and control my appetite. 

If you follow the directions on the box and take the pills I believe you will lose weight.  I have used these pills a few times to quickly lose about 10 pounds.  I stayed on the pills for about 3 weeks and the lower calorie diet and lost the 10 pounds.

I believe if I was able to control myself and my eating for the entire three months that the pills would have worked and I would have lost the 25 pounds.  I still have more of the pills and plan on using them during the summer months when I don't have as much stress in my life.  I would recommend these pills to friends and family.

A little warning:  This diet pill has lots of caffeine in it, so if you are not used to any caffeine then start it slowly because you might get headaches from them.
