Are diet pills & diet supplements bad for your health, leading US diet supplement warning

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

With people looking for other weight loss solutions, are diet pills & diet supplements bad for your health.

In May 2009, the The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found that a leading weight loss supplement linked to liver damage.
Manufactured by Lovate Health Sciences Inc, the Hydroxycut products, the FDA issued a warning saying some products were linked to liver damage.

With extremely long chemically based ingredients and documented cases of liver damage, sales continue with their re formulated product Hydroxycut Advanced.

With buffed models and claims that it boots your metabolism and burns calories, should such products be allowed to be sold without clinicle trials to:
a. Support the claims
b.Test for possible side effects

Th real question is why are we taking these diet pills or the marketing remastered term weight loss supplements in the first place.

Eating a balanced diet with daily exercise is surely a better solution to diet pills & diet supplements that are potentially bad for your health

Great to see people participating in Boot Camp with their dogs, today we had 3 dogs that behaved extremely well, everybody wins

Its great to see people performing exercise with their dog at Boot Camp.
So often I see people with their dogs at the park standing around, chatting to other dog owners while they use a throwing tool to pick up the tennis ball from the ground and launch it for their dog to chase.

This is the perfect opportunity to play with your dog and chase after the ball as well to add some excitement. While some people may want a little more than this chasing game, we have found having dog friendly boot camps encourages people to participate in exercise while allowing their dog to get some exercise as well.

Ultimately it is all about safety and an unrestrained dog can not only pose a danger to itself but to other participants.
Funky new dog harnesses and leashes enable their owners to secure their dog while running.

We have some ideas to help you get out and start exercising with your dog today.

So it would be great to see more people getting involved in exercise, be it a Boot camp or any type of outdoor group fitness training to exercise with their dog.

Funny Post Exercise quote after burning 800 calories at bootcamp ‘Can I now eat a mars bar?’

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Mars bars are quiet dense, quiet high in calories, 300 + calories, so while 800 calories is an excellent energy expenditure over 60 minutes probably eating mars bars isn’t the appropriate solution as post exercise recovery even though Chris was saying it jokingly.

When exercising always have to be mindful that we put the good stuff back into the body, obviously there is going to be an energy deficient after doing strenuous exercise or high cardiovascular type exercise for 60 minutes. So post exercise recovery is most important, generally after 60 minutes or 800 calories you want to have some carbs and mixture of proteins and fats. There have been studies recently that have showen that having a Chocolate milkshake has more benefit that all the various energy recovery drinks and powders on the market.

Port Phillip Council may introduce a “Car free day” A great way to get people walking & using alternative transport in the city, similar to Europe

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

What a great initiative, with people become more reliant on the car to move about most major cities, having a car free day encompassing major streets in the heart of the city is a great way to get people exploring other forms of transport.
Walking, cycling, trams, buses and trains are great alternatives to get around, the worst case scenario is a person having to walk a few kilometers to get to their chosen destination.

One word here, moderation:)))
It’s ok to indulge every now & then but every day can be excessive.
