We have also taken a look into how best to keep in shape over Christmas, as one of the biggest reasons for putting on weight over the festive period is because we stop exercising! To help you get through the minefield of exercise DVDs and exercise equipment including the WII Fit we have put together our top choices.

For any of you that have visited Dietreviewzone previously you will have seen my own weight loss journey whilst taking Proactol, with My Proactol diary. Has the weight stayed off,click here to find out if I lost weight,stayed the same or gained weight.

As the nights close in and the weather gets colder one thing definitely suffers and that is our skin. To help you have healthier looking and acne free skin this year check out our, Tips To Help You Have Healthy And Acne Free Skin This Winter. Of course one thing that is not helping the look of our skin at the moment are the stresses and strains of the credit crunch, here to help you is information on beating the stress of the credit crunch.

Finally this month we have updated our Review Page, making the sections much easier to find and meaning you are easily able to find reviews such as Proactol versus Hoodia Balance and our new review of Acai Berry where you are able to claim your FREE trial of Acai Berry.

So what do we do? Just accept that we are going to put on weight and prepare ourselves for the fact that it will be another diet in January. Take weight loss supplements to prevent us from putting on any weight. Maybe we just ignore it completely and hope it will all go away. Or do we make sure we eat healthy over this time? Well hats off to anyone who can do the last one.

For me this year for me will be different. I really cannot be bothered having to lose a whole load of weight in the New Year again. Why is it going to be different, well for one I am not going to stop exercising. Did you know that most people will put on weight not because they have over-eaten but because they have simply stopped exercising. My other way is by going down the meal plan option, writing down what I am going to eat for the week ahead. I do meal plans for every other week so I know what to buy and can also not end up eating rubbish, yet I don’t over Christmas. I know that on some days I will eat a bit more, but if I do make a plan then at least I will have something to follow. Also I have for those really heavy days some weight loss supplements as back-up. Recently I took some weight loss supplements and successfully lost weight and have also not put weight back on. Over Christmas I admit I will need a little help so I have them ready just incase.

Holiday periods such as Christmas or Thanksgiving can mean you eating what you want and not piling on huge amounts of weight. We have more tips and information for you here at Dietreviewzone.

During October and into November Dietreviewzone will be getting ready for Christmas and the New Year. All those issues of losing weight and not putting weight on will be covered. Also as the weather for most of us is getting colder this time of year, we will also give you some tips on how to look after your skin. Finally, there will be some useful information and hints on how not to get stressed this Christmas.

As you have seen a couple of months ago I started My Proactol Diary. My own personal weight loss diary whilst taking the weight loss supplement Proactol. Last week I reached my target weight loss! I am absolutely made up and feel so much more confident in myself.  I am carrying on with the diary and will keep you informed on how I do keeping the weight off. I still have a box of Proactol left for those times when I know I will be eating and drinking more than normal.

October saw more information on Dietreviewzone. Under our diet and weight loss section. We took a look at how Carb blockers work and also whether they help you to lose weight. In particular we have taken a look at Dietrine Carb Blocker. In our health and beauty section we took a further look at Aloe Vera. Whether taking Aloe Vera really makes that much difference to your health and skin. We all know about the healing powers of aloe vera but what about all the other things it can do. Under our acne section we tackled the subject of our skin and cold weather. The cold weather can bring us down and make us feel miserable which is bad enough. What can and does makes things worse is getting acne, it really can make us feel horrid and uncomfortable. At Dietreviewzone we take a look at how we can look after our skin during the cold weather.

We are always looking for new and fun ways to exercise. This month saw for us the new topic of pole dancing and how to get your own pole. Pole dancing is growing every month in popularity. You are able to go to classes and also now set up your own pole in your own home. A really great way to exercise and tone up.

Our on going looking into Weddings, took a look at how to make sure you look after yourself on the run up to your wedding last month. I am sure there  are many people out there getting ready for a winter wedding. Our wedding section gives you useful information and tips on how you can look and feel your best on your big day.

Finally we posed the question. Surely a good reason to quit smoking is your childs health. A hot potato of a subject, from my own experience I have seen relatives pass away and leave the children behind, when they had the opportunity to quit and improve their health and didn’t. Even with the knowledge of watching grand children grow up the lure of the cigarette was much stronger. As always your views on any of these subjects can be heard on our forum.

Bye for now!

So what has been going on at Dietreviewzone?

Well I have been busy writing some new articles. Firstly I wrote in more detail about stretch marks, this article is entitled The Why,When, What of Stretch marks. As you know we have reviewed the highly popular and highly effective Revitol Stretch Mark Cream. In this article I wanted to get to the bottom of stretch marks and answer all those questions that I am sure you have about them, so we have a better understanding of what stretch marks are, apart from the fact that they are a pain in the backside so to speak.

Next I tackled cellulite and looked into whether we are able to get rid of it and also ways at which we can prevent cellulite, this is covered in my article, Can we get rid of cellulite?

As any of you will have seen at Dietreviewzone that over the past four weeks I have been writing down my experience of taking the weight loss supplement Proactol. How much weight I have lost,which as it stands at the moment is a pretty impressive 10lbs so far. You are able to read My Proactol Diary by clicking here.

Now as I have been taking a weight loss supplement. I wrote an article on whether you can get addicted to weight loss supplements. I personally have not found this the case at all, I have not even got obsessed about it either. If anything more relaxed than any other diet or weight loss program I have been on.

New this month we have our review of Zenmed Skin Support System for Rosacea, along with an article going into what Rosacea actually is and the causes. We have also compiled a list of the top tips to help sufferers of Rosacea.

Finally we have some updated post for you on the subject of weight loss supplements,acne,wedding weight loss and skin care. You are able to read these posts by clicking on the links below.

Also recently new to Dietreviewzone is our forum. The forum is there for anyone wishing to discuss and chat about any weight loss,health and exercise issues they may have. You are able to join our forum here. Weight gain during the summer, obesity in children and stretch marks to name just a few of the issues that will be talked about this month in our forum.

You will also be able to see new the new articles posted this month on Dietreviewzone: How to get back in shape after summer; Top 10 tips for good digestion; Best methods to get rid of unwanted hair. Along with more information about preventing acne, getting in shape after pregnancy, main causes of stretch marks.

For the month of September at Dietreviewzone there will be more from My Proactol Diary and our forum. Along with a thorough look at stretch marks and the causes and more importantly how we can reduce and prevent stretch marks. With more updates on how to get back in shape after the summer whether you are looking at which exercise best suites you or are thinking of taking a weight loss supplement or diet pill. I am sure there will be plenty for you to get your teeth into!

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!

You are able to see how I get on and follow my weight loss journey at Dietreviewzone.com and also join in our discussion on weight loss supplements in our dietreviewzone forum along with many other topics.

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.

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.

If you would like to read more information about the causes of acne visit our articles page at Dietreviewzone. Where you can also find product and treatment reviews for acne. If you would just like to have a discussion or chat about acne then join in on our forum.

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.
