In my last blog I briefly mentioned My Proactol Diary. This is my own personal weight loss journey whilst taking the weight loss supplement Proactol.

At Dietreviewzone we have reviewed some of the weight loss supplements available including Proactol. It has been many years since I have used a weight loss supplement and felt it was time to see what they are like today and to see whether they actually worked, then over the summer I have put on extra pounds that I really could do with getting rid of so this gave me the kick up the backside and my weight loss journey began.

I openly admit that I cannot do it myself and need a little help and therefore I chose a weight loss supplement. After looking into the different types of weight loss supplements, the carb blocker, fat reducer and the appetite suppressant I went for the fat reducing weight loss pill Proactol. Mainly because any diets I have followed before the low fat diets have shown greater success. I have found that the carb diets such as Atkins don’t really suit me .

So My Proactol Diary started and I am now a week in. First week I lost 2 pounds, which may not sound a lot but it really is a minor miracle. As the last week has not been a very healthy or alcohol free week at all. Not the best week to start taking Proactol in reality. Although I felt that it was necessary to see how good Proactol was in the ‘worse eating and drinking’ kind of weeks.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that as the next week will be a lot more healthier and that my weight loss continues, my only downfall could be this weekend. As this is normally my time to relax and enjoy a few drinks!

There are many ways to diet and lose weight today. From following a healthy eating plan, surgery, exercise and weight loss supplements. On each of these types of losing weight you will have people who say they are the best way to lose weight others who say you are wasting your time. We are all individuals at the end of the day, we all have our own opinion and experiences of what has worked for us.

The subject I am going to focus on here are weight loss supplements. Does everyone agree that these work? Of course not. However, weight loss supplements are hugely popular and very successful for people who wish to lose weight. Yes, for some a quick fix, for others a way of losing weight which fits in with their life style. Either way in order to find out just how good they are, I have ordered one of the more popular weight loss supplement Proactol. You are able to follow my weight loss journey, by reading My Proactol Diary.

There are different types of weight loss supplement. The fat intake reducing pill, appetite suppressant and the carb block.

The Fat Intake Reducing Supplement. These are weight loss supplements such as Proactol and Hydroxycut. These pills will help you lose weight by simply reducing your dietary fat intake.

Carb Blocker - Carb blockers such as Dietrine Carb Blocker are generally composed mainly of bean and wheat germ extracts that prevent the carbohydrates you eat from being absorbed by the body. Fat blockers promise to absorb between six and 10 times their weight in fat as they pass through your system, forcing your body to get rid of the fats instead of digesting them.

Appetite Suppressant - many of us struggle to stick to a diet because we get hungry and cannot suppress our appetite. This is where appetite suppressant pills such as Hoodia Balance and Caralluma Burn are perfect. Naturally suppressing your appetite, meaning you are not reaching for the snack tin and are able to stick to you diet.

The important thing to remember with any weight loss plan and supplement is that for them to be really successful you do need to take responsibility and change your lifestyle by exercising regular and eating a healthier diet.

As with anything there are many myths some true and some false. Here are some acne myths that are definitely NOT true.

1. If you eat chocolate or fatty food it will not automatically mean you getting acne.

2. A blackhead is not dirt, its dark colour is excess skin pigment. Washing yourself more will not help prevent blackheads. Do not stop washing though as this will allow bacteria to multiply.

3. If someone you know has acne, you have no need to worry you will not catch it. Acne is not contagious.

What Is Acne?

Quite simply acne is a skin condition. When you have acne then you will probably get one or more of the following: Blackheads, Scars, Greasy Skin, Red Spots, Yellow Spots and Whiteheads.

You are most likely to see acne on your face, back, neck, chest and arms. Each person is an individual so the severity of your acne will and does vary.Unfortunately for the human race, acne is very common. In fact it can affect 80% of people mostly between the ages of 11-30. Although you can also get acne into your 30’s and 40’s. You can treat your acne and there are many treatments and products available.

Stretch marks are not just gained by being pregnant or putting on weight there are other situations that could mean you end up with stretch marks. Here a few of the most common causes of stretch marks.

The most common reason that most of us have heard of is pregnancy stretch marks. With 75-90% of women developing stretch marks during pregnancy, it is no wonder that stretch marks are linked with pregnancy. With you baby growing your stomach is gradually being stretched further and further which causes the stretch marks. The stretch marks are not just found on your stomach you can also get them on your breasts and thighs.

Weight loss and weight gain are also when stretch marks can form. If you are on a diet try and lose steadily and over a period of time so your skin is not under strain and are less likely to have stretch marks appear. If you are putting on a lot of weight under a short period of time you are again putting your skin under strain and increasing the risk of stretch marks.

You may not have realised it as your hormones where all over the place and the last thing you were looking for where stretch marks but during adolescent growth spurts boys and girls are prone to stretch marks. Boys mainly on the shoulders and girls on the hips,thighs and breasts.

Finally athletes whose muscles are growing bigger and stronger over a short period of time can sometimes be prone to stretch marks. You tend to find that stretch marks are particularly common in bodybuilders.

However it is good news for some of us as not everyone gets stretch marks. Some doctors think that the reason we get stretch marks is that some people produce more of the hormone,corticosteriod than normal and this causes a decrease in the amount of collagen in the skin. Collagen is a type of protein that enables the skin to keep its elasticity.

What ever the cause of stretch marks. Some of us really don’t like them and would like to reduce the appearance of them. For those of us looking to prevent them in the first place. What are our options? Cover up, laser surgery or a stretch marks cream. There are many creams and other products on the market today, but what works? Receiving great feedback are Revitol Stretch mark cream & also Zenmed Stretta Stretch mark cream.

Both of the above products we have reviewed at Dietreviewzone, and if you need to have a moan about stretch marks or share your experiences of preventing or treating stretch marks. Then join in on the discussion in our Forum.
