CUMBERLAND West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey warned consumers to be cautious when evaluating ways to lose those extra pounds.

Who among us doesnt think about dropping a couple pounds at the beginning of a new year? Morrisey said. Those making New Years resolutions right now look at various types of weight loss products in an effort to drop 10, 15 or 20 pounds. When theyre doing that, consumers must take time and research their options to make sure they lose weight in a healthy, legitimate and financially smart way.

Consumers should avoid weight loss advertisements for miracle pills, creams or drinks, others that guarantee permanent weight loss without lifestyle changes and those that promise results without diet or exercise.

Some weight-loss products, many of which are imported and sold online, have been found to be tainted with ingredients that have serious side effects, such as heart problems and strokes. While many natural dietary supplements are safe, some have been found to contain hidden active ingredients contained in prescription drugs.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration issued 19 public notifications for tainted weight loss products in 2019. That is up from 11 in 2017 and 18 in 2018.

Consumers should also be wary of free trials and should closely read terms and conditions for each offer. Some companies use free trials as an opportunity to sign up the consumer for additional products, which the consumer is billed for until cancellation.

The Attorney General also urged consumers to examine the fine print when considering gym memberships. Those looking to join a gym should visit the facility before doing so to see if its a good fit. They should carefully read every document before signing to ensure they know what theyre agreeing to and understand all the terms and conditions.

Businesses primarily involved in the selling of memberships that provide the members instruction in the program of physical exercise or provide the members use of its facilities are required to be registered with the Attorney Generals Office.

Consumers with questions or who believe they have been the victim of a weight loss scam can contact the Attorney Generals Consumer Protection Division at 800-368-8808or visit http://www.wvago.gov.

Celebrities who open up about struggles to lose weight after the baby - Up News Info

On 1 January 2018 computer small business owner Mr Craig Plaister, then 52, made a New Years resolution to lose weight.

Twelve months later he achieved his goal, weighing in nearly 30kg lighter. In doing so, he became a statistical anomaly.

Nutritionist Lyndi Cohen, author of The Nude Nutritionist, said 96 per cent of people will fail to reach their diet goal.

Most people will regain their weight, plus put back extra weight, she said.

January is a time when diet and healthcare industries go into a marketing spin, targeting people who have made New Years resolutions to lose weight after Christmas feasting.

Ms Cohen is critical of the weight loss industry. Diet companies try to make money from selling the same approach that you have already been trying and failing at, she said. Diet companies use lots of tactics to get us to sign up. They show you before and after photos, but they never show us the after-the-after photos.

All diets work until they dont work.

Ms Cohen lost 20kg over four years by eating intuitively and embracing regular, gentle exercise.

It doesnt cost a lot of money to eat healthily, she said. Anyone who says otherwise wants to profit from you.

Ms Cohen recommends people drink water and include more legumes in their diet. Bulking bolognese out with tomatoes and a tin of lentils will ensure you can indulge a bit without feeling deprived.

CSIRO researcher Gilly Hendrie said more than two-thirds of Australians struggled with their weight.

She said the key to successful weight loss was to ensure it fit into your lifestyle.

If the diet requires too much energy, the benefit versus the cost will eventually wear you down, Dr Hendrie said.

Developed 20 years ago, CSIROs Total Wellbeing Diet has rolled out an updated online platform. It offers a refund to participants who stick with the program for the full 12 weeks, demonstrate weight-loss at the end, and consent to sharing their story and photos with others.

Self-monitoring is super important to successful weight loss, Dr Hendrie said.

You lose weight when you expend more kilojoules in exercise relative to what you consume, she said.

A higher protein, low GI carbohydrate diet has been shown to help by making you feel full for longer.

Two years on from his New Years resolution, Mr Plaister remains fit and trim.

He first lost weight by using a meal replacement shakes and supplements program.

Then, I took up running, cycling and Latin dancing, Mr Plaister said.

Ive run two marathons and five half-marathons this year. It has been a total lifestyle change for me.

Lose weight, save money with these nutrition tips - NEWS.com.au

There are loads of ways to lose weight fast and build muscle in the same time. For example, you can do push-pull workout or even a five-move full body workout and in general, the more muscles you move, the more calories you burn, so if weight loss is your aim, try doing more compound exercises, like deadlifts and squats.

The workout we are going to discuss here uses your body only as resistance and therefore classifies it as a calisthenics workout. It also relies on endurance more than counting sets and reps. In fact, you won't even need to count reps; the only thing you might want to check is the time.

Let's not beat around the bush any longer: we will talk about the Navy SEAL fitness test and how you can benefit from getting ready for it, even if you aren't planning on joining the army. The test requires you to do as many reps as you can in the set time interval and therefore is perfect to build muscles and endurance as well as torching fat.

As part of the test, you will need to perform five different exercises within a set amount of time. The requirements are as follows:

What is great about this test that it measures the fitness levels of your whole body. You'll need a strong back and shoulders for the swim, monster pecs and triceps for the pushups, rock hard abs and core for situps, godly lats and biceps for the pullups and swift quads, calves and glutes for the run.

Another good aspect of the test is that it's time limited and bodyweight only: you won't have to count weights and volume here, just do as many reps as you can within the set time. Doesn't get less complicated than that.

Due to the high rep count, working out using this method is not all that dissimilar to doing CrossFit, for example, and builds endurance as well.

Protein brownies are a great source of protein and carbs, as well as being low on sugar and fats

If you want to build muscles and lose fat, you will need to eat right, no question about it.Even if your aim is to lose weight doing this exercise, you will need to get a better understanding of what you eat and most importantly, how much carbs, fats and protein do you consume a day.

If it sounds daunting and a lot of hassle to count macros, it really isn't. There are free apps that literally tells you what's in the food you eat by scanning the barcode of the product, such as MyFitnessPal. Once you know what's in it, you can decide whether you need that last slice of large Dominos pepperoni pizza (you don't).

Either you are trying to lose fat or want to build muscle, eating more protein is beneficial for you. If you fall in the former category, try swapping some bad fats and carbs most of the processed food falls into this category to protein snacks, let them be protein bars or just a small portion of high-carb nuts.

If you are trying to gain muscle mass and are naturally skinny, try adding some high protein mass gainers, like Bulk Powders' Informed Mass or The Protein Works' Total Mass Matrix.

Drinking more water also helps, so fill up your gym water bottle and drink that water!

Making stretching an integral part of your workouts

(Image credit: Future)

Although this workout uses plenty of cardio elements, you want to get ready even for those. Light jogging and stretching helps priming the muscles and your body for the upcoming exercises.

Stretching and relaxing tense muscles after the workout is also very beneficial. Use a foam roller and/or resistance bands, both of which can relieve muscle tension and

IMPORTANT: if you have any medical condition or experiencing pain of any sort especially back pain please consult a medical professional before you start working out. Some of the below exercises put a lot of stress on your lower back and if you are ever unsure how to perform them, get a PT or a trained athlete to show you the correct form.

Swimming is good for your whole body. Period.

(Image credit: Getty Images)

Muscles worked: delts, lats, traps, triceps, biceps, abd, hams, glutes (all of them, really)

Time: swim continuously for half an hour

This exercise will most likely be performed separately from the rest of the exercises for practical reasons, but it's all for the better since adding a swim day to your workout calendar will introduce variety to your strength training.

Not only that, but swimming is good for your overall cardivascular health, is a joint-friendly sport and will make your body strong overall as well as more robust. Doing freestyle swimming will work your shoulders and lats and will give you that V-back you always wanted.

Make sure you warm up for your swims with some shoulder exercises, like rolling shoulder circles and arm circles. especially if you haven't swam for a while, you will feel your shoulders quite prominently in the upcoming days after the exercise if you don't warm up. Probably even if you do, but at least with warmup you can avoid injuries.

Keep your body straight as you bend your elbows and get as close to the ground as you can in the lowest position

(Image credit: Future)

Muscles worked: pecs, triceps, core

Time: do as many as you can in two minutes/do 50 pushups in the least amount of sets possible

Keep your back straight and pull with your abs

(Image credit: Future)

Muscles worked: abs, obliques, core, lats

Time: do as many as you can in two minutes/ do 75 in the least amount of sets possible.

Don't try to do sit ups without leg support, that'll put way too much pressure on your back. You can get anunder door crunch barif you are working out at home or asit up bench(or a multi-functionalweights bench).

Also and I can't tress this enough don't have your hands behind your neck or head. Most people try to cheat doing sit ups by pulling their head with their arms. The only thing you'll achieve with that is spine injury and neck pain.

Keep you hands either on the side of your head or crossed in front of your chest. The former is better if your abs are not that strong just yet and you want a bit of momentum before your engage your core.

Either way, engage your core all the way through the movement and keep your back straight. By engaging your core and not using your hands/arms to help, you can avoid potential back injuries.

Shoulders should be in-line with wrist at the highest position

(Image credit: Future)

Muscles worked: lats, traps, biceps

Sets/Reps: do as many as you can in one go

If you are exercising at home and unfamiliar with pullups, get one a door pull up bar and start doing pullups your legs resting on a chair. Please,please, make sure the bar is fitted properly and that it can support your bodyweight before you start hanging off it.

If you are frequenting the gym, you can use a pull up assist machine first. Same thing as doing a regular pull up, but you do it kneeling on a weighted pad.

Bodyweight pull ups are the next step up from supported leg pullups. If you really want concentrate on your lats, use a wide overhand grip. Chin ups use your arms muscles more (they are excellent nevertheless).

Not many exercises will work your lower body as well as running

Muscles worked: quads, hams, glutes, calves

Time: run for half an hour

We're in the first week of the New Year, and if youve not yet stumbled across a weight loss routine that works for you then maybe following a calculated diet plan can help you get started. It certainly helped 25-year-old Shreyans Sheth. He lost 50 kgs and trimmed from a whopping 114 kgs to 64 kgs.

Says Shreyans, "I slipped and broke my ankle, two years ago, and according to the doctor, it was a minor injury. But due to my excess weight (114 kgs) I had to get it operated.

Post the operation, not only was I suffering, my parents were also reason being my unhealthy lifestyle. It made me realise that I have to bring about a change in my life, starting with losing weight, he informs.

I commenced my weight loss journey by looking for ways to lose weight. I studied various kinds of diets. But none of them seemed sustainable for me as I am a vegetarian (so no Keto Diet, etc. for me). However, calorie counting and being in a caloric deficit state, courtesy of the calorie deficit diet, to lose weight made sense to me."

Calorie counting is actually easier than the mathematically implied name suggests. All the food that we eat in a day are essentially just calories for the body. They are burned by our systems to produce energy and the extra calories get stored in the form of fat, leading to eventual weight gain. Counting your calories can help you create a deficit, which will help burn fat faster. Theres also a calorie deficit diet pattern than you can follow to do this efficiently.

A calorie deficit diet is a pattern of dieting that is based on the concept that as long as you eat fewer calories than you burn, youre bound to lose weight, according to Healthline. This diet pattern requires you to calculate the number of calories your body needs to consume to function smoothly without feeling hungry, and how much deficit you need create without harming your health.

The deficit can then be created by cutting down empty calories and unhealthy fats. Keep in mind that the number of calories required to create a deficit is different for different body types.

In a quest to understand how many calories my food has, I came across the HealthifyMe app. Honestly, it would have been an uphill battle otherwise as apart from HealthifyMe, there are hardly any apps out there that boast such an extensive database of Indian food.

So after calculating the correct number from the app, I aimed to reduce my appetite by approximately 10 per cent at a time, every 2-3 months. I started with 1800 calories and today am down to 1200 calories."

I started weighing each and every serving of my food as well as the science behind calorie counting is not perfect. Almost every time there is 10-30 per cent variation as calories change with the amount of oil used, the water content of food, the region it is from and many other things. For example: 1 roti in general is around 35 gms but the one I eat at home, comes up to 44 gms, so if I don't weigh the food every time, there is a 25 per cent variation in what I believe I eat as opposed to what I REALLY eat. This ends up in one eating more calories than required, thereby hindering the process. So definitely invest in a food weighing scale.

Shreyans also explains that just because you are counting your calories, does not mean you have to limit the number of your meals. I have 3 meals a day, which is the same number of meals that I used to have even before losing weight. But with tweaks now in accordance with my calorie count."

"On a daily basis, I eat roti, sabji, dal-chawal with salad. I ate the same things before as well but the new tweaks included brown rice instead of white rice and very little oil in veggies. Earlier I used to eat only wheat roti throughout year but now I eat jowar roti during summer, bajra roti during in winter and wheat roti otherwise."

"Another important thing, you need to cut down on empty calories from packaged and junk foods. This will make a huge difference." Apart from changing his eating habits, he also started following the below basic exercise regime.

"My exercise routine was and is very basic. I do 5 minutes of stretching every morning followed by 10 minutes of Pranayam Yoga. I also work on one muscle group each day simple exercises only."

QUICK READ: 10 reasons why men should do yoga

1.Do not go for results, just do the right thing. You will see the results when you are true to yourself.

2. Fitness is not a temporary phase it is a lifestyle change, so don't get overwhelmed.

3. Keep your eyes open, trial and error is the way you learn. There is no one perfect way to do a thing.

4. Losing weight is not equal to being healthy so when your body gives you sign, DO NOT IGNORE IT.

5. DON'T LOSE FOCUS. Some people will think you look pale, some will think you look sick and some people will feel you look amazing don't let anything get into your head. Keep doing what you think is right for you."

OK, Illget my food rant out of the way. Then no more for the rest of theyear, promise.

If itdoesnt work, do something different, has always seemed to meabout as obvious a maxim as any. In this season of make-and-breakresolutions, I think I can safely say that diets dont work, andmaybe its time to do something different.

Weretoo fat, right? Not you and me, of course, heaven forbid, but thecollective we. We as in the population of the US, withtwo-thirds of us overweight or obese. Thats according to the BodyMass Index system of assessing us. BMI is pretty crude, of course(using just two measurements, height and weight), but for mostpeople, BMI is related to the amount of fat in their bodies.

How do weknow diets dont work? Because theyre short-term solutions tolong-term problems. About 95% of people who lose weight by dietingwill not only regain it in a year or so, but most will end upweighing more. Our bodies are super-sensitive when they think theyrebeing starved (more people died from starvation than all the wars andepidemics combined), so they respond to diets by slowing ourmetabolism and craving food. Duh.

RobertLustig (quoted above) is an anti-sugar crusader; check out Sugar:The Bitter Truth. He offers a way of doingsomething different thats worthy of consideration, IMHO. Itsall about the hormones leptin and insulin. Leptin acts like athermostat: when it rises, you feel full. When it falls, you want toeat. (Its more complicated, of course were talking about thehuman body! Leptin also regulates metabolism and the rate of fatbreakdown.)

No leptin vs. leptin. The mouse on left is unable to produce leptin, resulting in obesity, constant hunger, and lethargy. (US Government/Bigplankton. Public domain)

Accordingto Lustigs model, most of us develop leptin resistance, whentheres plenty of leptin, but somehow the message isnt gettingthrough to our brains. Why? Blame insulin. Insulin blocks leptin,stopping it doing its job of messaging the brain about whether weneed to eat or not. And compared to 40 years ago, most of us haveinsulin levels two to four times what they were then.

Becausesugar. Sugar, as bloodstream glucose, tells the pancreas to releaseinsulin, the leptin-blocking hormone. Not only that, but high insulinlevels make the body store more food calories as fat. Turns out,were all OK, most of us are ingesting too much of the stuff,nearly 60 lb. a year on average in the US. Thats two or threetimes whats healthy, according to the World Health Organizationsguidelines on sugar.

You dontneed to know all this and Im just scraping the surface here.You (collective you) need to know that fiber is the antidoteto sugar. Yup, you can have your sugar, but only when it comeswith fiber. Fiber is, to a first approximation, the differencebetween processed and unprocessed food, see Lustigs epigraphabove. When we eat fiber that is, fruit and veggies it (1)slows the absorption of sugar in our intestines and (2) causes foodsugar to be processed farther down our intestines where its eatenby our microbiome bacteria.

And thatsthe magic of fiber. According to Lustig, a calorie isnt a calorie,because when you eat food with fiber, you dont absorb thecalories; your gut bacteria do! And they (being smarter than you)dont turn those calories into fat

So forgetthe short-term-solution diet. Itll just make you fatter andmiserable. Instead, eat your fruits and vegetables not exactlyrocket science. A good place to start might be the New York Times7-daysugar challenge.

Eitherthat, or move to Chad, wherethe diet is the healthiest in the world.

GROWING OLD UNGRACEFULLY: Last Food Rant of the Year - Lost Coast Outpost

If you want to lose weight in the new year, a new study from Johns Hopkins University shows that intermittent fasting could do that, while helping you live longer.

The studys co-author Dr. Mark Mattson, a neuroscience professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, said when it comes to weight loss, eating three meals a day is abnormal, its not how our ancestors lived. Food was scarce and they had to work for food. He said peoples genetics are geared to eat intermittently and we function well under those conditions.

"You don't use fat unless you're not eating for at least 12 hours, unless you're exercising, so, that's the key thing to help you lose fat, is going that time period without eating," said Mattson.

He said eating three meals a day, plus snacks, is not optimal for good health in this day and age because the liver storing energy is replenished as glucose.

"Theres about 700 calories of glucose in the liver, which takes 10 to 12 hours to deplete that," said Mattson.

He said fat cells release fat which are then converted to ketones to be used for energy instead of glucose.

He said try to stick with it for two months. It takes about two to four weeks to adapt to the new eating pattern. He said its very safe. However, the elderly who are losing weight, children and people with low body weight shouldnt do intermittent fasting.

If weight loss isnt a big deal to you, intermittent fasting has been shown to slow down the aging process in rats and mice. Mattson studied that intermittent fasting slowed down Parkinsons and Alzheimers effects.

Research finds that restricting your eating to six to eight hours per day helps regulate glucose, blood pressure and heart rate.

Another approach is when participants limited themselves to one moderate-sized meal two days a week.

Nature's Temptations Offers FREE Class: Lose Weight with MindBody Mastery the 21 Day Plan - HamletHub

You're familiar with the fad diet cycle: Today's keto diet is yesterday's Atkins.

There's a near-constant rotation of weight loss plans that promise to supercharge your metabolism, tap energy stores, and ignite your fat burnersall in the name of a thinner, leaner you.

The GOLO diet is an exception only to the fad diet churn-and-burn cycle in that it builds itself around an expensive supplement. That pill, called Release, isn't FDA approved. The research GOLO uses to tout the power of Release isn't, well, all that powerful.

And there's more to it.

The GOLO diet suggests that spiked insulin levels are the cause of slow metabolism, which, in turn, is responsible for weight gain. GOLO argues that when you can control your insulin levels, you wont store excess sugar in your blood, which your body then stores as fat. Regulated insulin levels equal regulated weight.

The company makes this claim based on a team of doctors and pharmacists, though the company does not disclose the names and affiliations of these experts.

To its credit, the GOLO diet, unlike Whole30 or keto, does not prohibit or severely restrict you from eating entire food groups.

Instead, the GOLO diet focuses on whole, unprocessed, and unrefined foods. At mealtime, a dieter selects one to two servings from each categoryproteins, carbs, vegetables, and fats.

A GOLO dieter eats three meals a day, with breakfast and lunch meals larger than dinner. The diet permits snacks if you go longer than four to five hours between meals or if you exercise.

While this type of eating plan can work, this is where the GOLO diet starts to veer into questionable territory.

Supplement territory.

One of the core components of the GOLO diet is a supplement called Release. The company claims that Release will help kickstart your body's ability to regulate insulin, increase your metabolism, and burn more fat.

Here's what's in Release: magnesium (15 milligrams in 1 capsule), zinc (10 mg), chromium (70 micrograms)*, rhodiola root extract, inositol, berberine HCl, gardenia, banaba leaf extract, salacia bark extract, apple extract, vegetable cellulose, dextrin, glycine, silica, citric acid

*These three ingredients are the only three ingredients with amounts listed on the label. The amounts of these ingredients, however, are not disclosed because the formulation is patented.

And then there's the price.

One bottle (containing 90 capsules) costs $50. Buy three bottles and you'll reduce that fee to $99, but you can't shop around for Release anywhere cheaper because you can only buy the supplement through the company.

Approach with caution, says Abby Langer, R.D., founder of Abby Langer Nutrition.

First, there's the idea that eating certain foods can drastically improve your metabolic rate.

Theres nothing you can really eat to boost your metabolism to any degree that you will have a significant change in weight, Langer says. Your metabolism is dictated by genetics and muscle mass and, sure, hormones. But there are so many factors that something you eat wont radically change it.

Theories do exist linking increased insulin and weight gain, but scientists still arent certain which hormones control metabolism and weight.

Its a theory for a reason. It hasnt been studied a lot in humans, she says. We really dont know definitively if insulin resistance is responsible for increased body mass.

The GOLO diet centers on whole foods, and doesn't require you to eliminate food groups, which is a smart way to eatbut you don't need the GOLO diet to eat this way.

And you surely don't need a supplement, says Langer.

Release is just a supplement. While it may not be harmful physically, I dont recommend it," she says.

GOLO dieters have reportedly lost upwards of 100 pounds in just 12 months, and that can carry undeniable allure for someone looking to lose weight.

Except that that weight loss may have occurred not from GOLO's proclaimed ability to help regulate insulin, but instead from switching from processed foods to whole foods.

While GOLO leans heavily on the theory that insulin resistance slows metabolism, Langer cautions that there is no simple or accurate way to definitively measure a persons metabolism. As a result, there is no way to measure the GOLO diet's success.

This is the hallmark of a fad diet, Langer says. You give the followers an outcome that they cant measure.

And the research cited by the company?

The research studies done to support GOLOs claims were small, she says. The studies were done by the company. None of their stuff has been published in peer reviewed journals."

Rather than following one of these one-size-fits-all diets, Langer says the best path to an effective diet is to talk to a registered dietitian and carve out a plan tailored to you life, your goals, and your eating habits.

And consider this, as it pertains to all diets: If there was one diet on which everyone would lose weight and keep that weight off foreverwouldn't everyone already be on that diet?

GOLO Diet and Weight Loss - Is Golo Safe and Effective - Men's Health

ST. LOUIS, MO, Dec. 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ST. LOUIS, MO (December 30, 2019) While losing weight can be difficult, most people will tell you that they are able to shed a few pounds (or more) by reducing calories, increasing exercise or doing a combination of both. Thats the good news. The bad news, however, is that according to some studies, 80%, and as many as 95% of people who lose weight will regain it within a few months to a year. Not a very optimistic statistic. Why does this happen?

"The answer is not so simple, said Dr. Zach LaBoube, founder of InsideOut Wellness and Weight Loss, and author of HCG 2.0 Dont Starve, Eat Smart and Lose: A Modern Adaptation of the Traditional HCG Diet. People gain their weight back for a variety of reasons, he added. For some, they simply fall back into old habits, eat out of boredom, or slack off on their exercise routine. For others, they could be fighting a very real physiological response of their body wanting to replenish fat reserves after weight loss, and theyre genuinely hungry! Whatever the reasons, I wanted to help.

LaBoube, who is currently practicing in Singapore, has seen chiropractic and acupuncture patients all over the world, from Peru to Indonesia. He believes that he learns as much about holistic wellness from his patients as they do from him. I'm currently working on a Master of Science in Nutrition & Human Performance from Logan University, but a lot of what I incorporate into my supplement line comes from indigenous herbs and remedies that I hear about from my patients, he added.

It was during his time in Southeast Asia, followed by Peru, that he began formulating what would ultimately become CURB, a trans-dermal patch designed to curb the appetite while increasing energy and focus.

CURB has been in the making for two years, said LaBoube. Its all natural. Nothing artificial. It has zero synthetic stimulants and no caffeine. All of the 29 ingredients were carefully selected to work synergistically with one another, he continued. To name a few, Wild African Mango helps lower cholesterol, suppresses the appetite, provides natural mood enhancement and absolutely blows up your metabolism. Green Tea Extract is a powerful antioxidant.Moringa Plant is a super food that feeds and supports soft tissue and is great for your skin. And, of course, I had to include Peruvian Maca. You can Google that one on your own!

All of his exotic ingredients, when accompanied by simple C and B Vitamins to facilitate absorption, each play a vital role in CURBs overall effectiveness. Other CURB ingredients include Cayenne Pepper (which boosts metabolism and helps burn fat), Chromium Polynicotinate (which helps block sugar cravings), Turmeric (a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant), Rhodia (which increases resistance to physical and mental stress), Astragalus (which stimulates the immune system) and Beta-Alanine (which increases endurance and energy).

Since first introducing CURB a few months ago, LaBoube has received nothing but positive feedback from his patients, as well as those who are part of his private Facebook group, which has more than 19,000 members and continues to grow each day. Im very pleased to see that CURB is working and giving people the confidence they need to maintain their weight loss, he said. But I want to emphasize that CURB, alone, is not the cure all, he added. Yes, the ingredients have been found to suppress the appetite while providing energy and focus, and yes, those who use CURB have the peace of mind in knowing that theyre getting some extra help to keep their weight off. But, ultimately, they need to continue making smart choices about the foods they choose to eat to stay on track and avoid a set-back, he added. Maintaining your weight loss is as much about giving your body the proper nutrition it needs as it is about removing the garbage it doesn't.

CURB will help, but you have to do your part as well. CURB is available on the InsideOut Wellness website (www.InsideOutWellness.net). Twelve patches (a 36-day supply) are $55. For a limited time, use code SNOW2019 to receive 20% OFF.
