Heck, I’ve been doing this for years and it never struck me that I was practicing portion control!

Normally whenever I make a meal, I’ll always make more than what I need expecting to put the extra into the fridge to be used later. Sometimes I’ll make extra and freeze the rest. I only freeze the extra food in the portions I need. So whenever I need a quick meal, I just take out a frozen left over meal and Presto! I have a ready to each meal after zapping it in the Microwave. Perfectly portioned for my diet!

You can also use this for when you go out and eat. Everyone knows that most places give you way to much food. You especially know this if you’re trying to diet!

What I do is once my meal arrives, look at it and decide how many sensible portions there are. I then ask for a to-go box right then and there. I’ll portion the meal out that is to be taken home and enjoy the rest.

I’ve found that if I don’t do this, then my portion becomes all the food on the plate!

Once I’m back at home, the extra portions go either into the fridge or freezer for another day.

Another thing that I’ve learned along the way is that you can store fresh fruit. Earlier in the Summer, we visited a Blackberry farm (the fruit kind, not the Smart Phone kind) and picked about 10 pounds of Blackberries. We then came home and portioned out the Blackberries into individual portions in zip lock baggies and containers. Of course, we do use some for a low cal cobbler and I used some on my real ice cream…sorry, the ice cream wasn’t low cal! But I did have a small portion =)

Since then, I’ve started doing this with other fruit and it has turned out well.

So now I’m not only saving money on food, I’m also eating healthier! What’s not to love!

For those of use who drink lots of Gatorade and are on a diet it’s been a love hate relationship.

That is, until this low calorie Gatorade G2 came out. Gatorade G2 has only 25 calories per a 8 ounce serving!

Now, you can get a free 8 pack of Gatorade G2 in your choice of flavors.

Gatorade G2 comes in 3 flavors, Fruit Punch, Grape and Orange.

I started seeing the Acai berry talked about in News segments on TV and then someone told me Oprah was talking about it. So I knew I had to find out more about this berry!

Many websites state the benefits of the Acai berry, everything from arthritis pain relief to weight loss. One website had a excerpts from a University of Florida study that showed the effects that Acai berry had on leukemia cells. It sounded good, but I would like to see the entire study for myself. But back to my diet, obviously it was the weight loss benefits I was most interested in right now along with the general health benefits.

I’m always on the look out for healthy items to put into my diet. Not only for the health benefits, but also for a good change up. Eating the same foods over and over can get boring after a while. This is why some people fail on their diets. Food burnout.

I’m a big believer that nature has many remedies for sickness and diseases that affect us humans. So when I started hearing about the Arcai berry, I started checking into it.

Mona Vie, My First Experience With The Acai Berry

The first experience I had with the Arcai berry was when a bottle of Mona Vie. A fellow I had do some car repair was a distributor for the product and gave me a bottle to try.

The product sounded interesting so I decided to give it a try. I started taking two ounces in the mornings. After a couple of days I couldn’t tell any difference. So I began taking an additional two ounces of monavie in the evenings.

After a few days, I did feel a little better. However, I never felt bad to begin with! So I’m not sure if it was the MonaVie or me thinking I was feeling better, when I wasn’t feeling bad to begin with!

I have to admit, I drink a lot of Cranberry juice. The benefits of the Cranberry are long and well documented. So I may have been ahead of the curve. All the documentation on the Acai berry I’ve seen have stated that it’s suppose to more beneficial than the Cranberry.

After just a little over a week I finished the bottle. During that time I checked Mona Vie’s website and others researching the product.

The one factor that cause me not to continue using Mona Vie is the price. At about $40 per bottle, it was just too expensive for me to use. 4 ounces a day would mean I’d be drinking about a bottle a week. That can add up real fast!

Searching For Alternatives to MonaVie

I figured since the Acai berry was catching on, there had to be some alternatives to Mona Vie. Although I’m not a big “supplement” person, believing you can get nearly all the nutrients you need with the proper diet, I started researching the ones I could find on the market.

My local health food had one brand. A brand I’d never heard of, and quite honestly, it looked like it had once been bottled as something else…so I passed and looked elsewhere for a place to buy Acai.

I then started searching online for an Acai berry supplement or another Acai berry juice. I found several that interested me so I dug deeper into each brand. If they had free samples, I ordered them.

One brand I found that would send me a free sample (all I had to do was pay the $3.95 shipping, that’s about as close to free as I found) was the brand Extreme Acai Berry.

Sign up was quick and I received my bottle in a few days.

Trying Out The Extreme Acai Berry Supplement

After my ‘nearly’ free bottle of Extreme Acai Berry arrived, I started taking it right away as directed.

After about three days I started noticing that I had a little bit more pep in my workout and during the day. Again, you have to remember, I didn’t feel bad to begin with! LOL

I continued to take the Acai berry supplement until the bottle was gone. I still felt great and was actually going a little extra time on my workouts.

Did I lose Weight with the Extreme Acai Berry Supplement?

Well, yes I did. However, I’ll tell you that I average losing about a pound a week since I lost the bulk of my weight and went into maintenance mode. Some weeks I lose a pound, some weeks I might gain a pound while other weeks I remain the same.

During the time I was using my free sample of the Extreme Acai Berry Supplement, I did notice a slightly better than average weight loss. I don’t think the supplement alone is the cause for my better than average weight loss. Or maybe it was. I did extend my workouts a few minutes more on a daily average since I was feeling so darn good.

I can’t honestly say that the Acai berry supplement alone made me feel better and lose weight, although I believe it did play an important part. In fact, I believe it so much that I’m now a regular user of Extreme Acai Berry.

If you’d like to get your own free sample of Extreme Acai Berry, just click here to get your own free sample. Sign up is quick and you’ll have it in a few days.

Try it out yourself and see if you don’t feel better. You may even feel like working out a few minutes longer like I did. I believe this is the secret to the acai. The better you feel, the more you feel like doing things. The more you do, the more weight you lose!

The more I try this acai berry, the more I like it! I’d still like to find an affordable, high quality acai berry juice to use. I’m still searching on that one!

For those who’ve tried The Biggest Loser Diet and stuck with it, most have had great results. It’s a no frills, common sense diet that helps you shed pounds. But for everything that The Biggest Loser Diet is, it’s still misunderstood by some. Here is a break down of The Biggest Loser Diet and the benefits.

The Biggest Loser Diet is a calorie-controlled, carbohydrate modified, fat reduced, weight loss diet geared to help you burn pure fat from the body. It also help to do so without deprivation or loss of energy.

How The Biggest Loser Diet Works

The Biggest Loser Diet guides you to choose foods that are closer to their natural source, particularly fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, because your body processes and uses them much more efficiently to build health. Whole foods are those that have not been modified from their natural state, or have been modified only a little bit, for example, through cooking. Foods that have been substantially modified are classified as processed foods. For example, blueberries are a whole food but blueberries toaster pastries are not.

Whole foods are higher in fiber, which aids in weight loss, both because it is filling and because it helps reduce the number of calories that your body absorbs after a meal. Further, whole foods are much less fattening than processed foods because they do not contain added sugar or other sweeteners. Nor do they contain added fats or oils.

This is a low calorie diet based on the Biggest Loser pyramid of 4-3-2-1 (four servings of fruits and veggies; three of lean protein; two of whole grains; and one “extra”), along with good old-fashioned exercise. Eat a diet based largely on fruits, vegetables and lean protein, add a heavy dose of physical activity and you will lose weight, lower cholesterol, decrease blood pressure, and become stronger and more energized.

The Biggest Loser Diet is based on a diet is high in lean protein. Protein has a hunger controlling effect on the body, which is why higher protein diets are so effective for weight loss and fat-burning.

What Food is Allowed in The Biggest Loser Diet

The Biggest Loser Diet gives you the freedom to eat a wide variety of foods, as long as you stick to mostly whole, natural foods. Over the course of the 12-week program, you can expect to eat small, frequent meals containing plenty of fiber and protein, for fullness without too many calories.

The Sample Meal Plan for The Biggest Loser Diet

The Biggest Loser Diet plan includes one week sample meal plans for 1,200, 1,500 and 1,800-calorie diets, along with some recipes. Forty-five percent of the total calories come from carbohydrates, 30% from protein, and 25% from fat.

The 4-3-2-1 Biggest Loser Pyramid sets the stage for number of servings from each of the food groups:

4 servings of fruits and vegetables
3 servings of protein — lean, vegetarian, or low-fat dairy
2 servings of whole grains
1 extra of fats, oils, sweets, alcohol, or your choice, equivalent to 200 calories
What Foods are Not Allowed in The Biggest Loser Diet

The Biggest Loser Die doesn’t allow eating any appetite stimulating white foods like bread, pasta, or potatoes. You have to keep daily food logs, watching portion sizes, and drinking 48-64 ounces of water each day round out the basic plan.

Dieters are urged to choose foods that are not processed and contain no added fats, sugar, or salt.

How to Benefit from The Biggest Loser Diet

There is a simple formula for you, put together by the Biggest Loser doctors and nutritionists.

Your present weight X 7 = Your daily caloric needs for weight loss. Your calorie count should never be static; in fact, it’s a moving target. As you lose weight, you’ll need to readjust your daily calories downward in order to keep losing at a good pace and break through plateaus, should your weight loss ever seem stalled. Your Biggest Loser online program will make this adjustment for you, and change your meal plans as necessary.

Note: Everyone is different, and we all burn different amounts of calories at different rates. So if you and a partner, friend, or buddy follow The Biggest Loser Diet, one of you might lose weight at a different rate, faster or slower, than the other from week to week.

Additional Suggested Health Benefits of The Biggest Loser Diet

The biggest loser diet program contains a detailed cardio and strength-training program that increases in intensity for a fat-busting boost.

It works because you burn more calories than you eat, and if you follow the prescription for eating healthy, whole foods every few hours, you shouldn’t have to deal with hunger.

Potential Risks of The Biggest Loser Diet

Sounds simple enough, but when you don’t have a personal trainer pushing you, as the TV contestants have, it is difficult to stay motivated. If you’re motivated by the television program, you have to struggle hard at home with this sensible and straightforward approach.

Whilst The Biggest Loser Diet doesn’t provide viewers with a realistic format for exercise, it does motivate them to get started and that is a good thing.

What the Experts Say about The Biggest Loser Diet

The Biggest Loser Diet has certain advantages. When you eliminate refined starches and sugars or the appetite stimulating foods, hunger and appetite go way down because blood glucose and insulin spikes are minimized.

The diet is endorsed by the American Dietetic Association. According to American Dietetic Association spokesperson Amy Jamieson-Petonic, MEd, RD, the Biggest Loser Diet is a worthwhile diet– as long as you consume at least 1,200 calories daily. “It is not recommended to consume fewer than 1,200 calories a day because it is difficult to obtain the necessary vitamins, minerals and nutrients needed for daily activities,” she says.

Susan Bowerman, MS, RD, assistant director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of California at Los Angeles also endorses the diet. According to Bowman, “The Biggest loser Diet is very similar to the plan we use at our clinics, using very low-fat and lean protein, lots of fruits and vegetables (with an emphasis on vegetables), and avoiding refined grains — which has proven to be successful because the diet is very satiating,” she says. Bowerman also recommends that dieters get plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, either in a supplement or by eating low-mercury types of fish twice weekly.

American Dietetic Association spokesperson Amy Jamieson-Petonic, MEd, RD, endorses the Biggest Loser Diet — as long as you consume at least 1,200 calories daily. “It is not recommended to consume fewer than 1,200 calories a day because it is difficult to obtain the necessary vitamins, minerals and nutrients needed for daily activities,” she says.

Bottom Line Evaluation of the Biggest Loser Diet

Only four components of food supply calories: protein and carbohydrates (4 calories per gram), alcohol (7 calories per gram), and fat (9 calories per gram). Vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, fiber, and water do not supply calories.

Diet-wise, no matter what you’ve heard, calories really do count, and they count big-time. If you don’t eat fewer calories than you burn off, there will be no weight loss.

Anyway, thanks to TiVo, I was able to watch all the episodes of Season 5 of The Biggest Loser. I have to say, in many ways, this was probably the most boring season ever, especially toward the end! I did like many of the Challenges and twist that The Biggest Loser Show threw at the contestants, but something just didn’t click for me this season.

Congratulations to Ali for winning Season 5 of The Biggest Loser. It was obvious when Roger walked out, that Ali had lost a higher percentage of weight. I’m glad America voted Roger into the top 3, I just don’t think he applied his self as much as he could have. I expected him to look like Erik did last year.

Anyhow, Ali deserves the win, she worked hard for it!

Season 5 of The Biggest Loser Recap

I did like the Couples theme this season. It was refreshing.

I also liked the fact that Kim wasn’t back. I just don’t think she had what it takes to field a winning team.

I liked Paul a lot. He was one of the bright spots in Season 5. I hated to see him go.

I was so freakin’ happy to see Brittany and Maggie go. Gosh, those two whined and bitched about everything. I couldn’t get over the comment Maggie made near the last about not being able to lose weight and how unfair it was that the Blue Team had all the guys. Then she proceeds to tell everyone that she’s been eating everything in site!

We were having dinner the other night with friends when the subject of The Biggest Loser Show came up and my friends Wife said “Did you notice that Jillian was favoring Brittany. Do you think there’s something between the two?”

My Wife and I busted out laughing since it was her that brought up the observation that Jillian was really favoring Brittany several episodes back. Apparently she’s not the only one who noticed that Jillian was sweet on Brittany!

My favorite was Dan. I was sure hoping that he would have made it to the season finale.

Mark…what can I say about Mark? Damn, near the end that guy was crying on cue! I was wondering if he lost all his male hormones along with his weight! Hey, I’m an emotional guy also, but I don’t cry at every little thing. I’m surprised he didn’t cry at the season finale!

Bernie I kinda liked. A little weird I thought, but I was happy to see that he won the At Home Challenge.

Biggest Loser Controversy?

Did anyone else notice the discrepancies in the time lines during Season 5? How about the last weigh in? Does anyone think it was only a week between the last weigh in the the previous weigh in? Then the contestants start putting up huge numbers?

The week they went home, I noticed that they let it slip that it was 2 weeks between weigh ins. Kai Hibbard let the cat out of the bag last year, but she was shut down pretty quick by the NBC brass and 3ball media.

C’mon guys, just weigh in every week and let us see real results!

I guess NBC and 3ball Media thinks we’re all a bunch of big fat losers who can’t put two and two together!

And another thing, what’s up with all the commericals. And when they get back from a commerical break, we have to watch a 5 minute recap of what happened before the commercial! Thank goodness for TiVo!

Auditions Underway For The Biggest Loser Teams

NBC is accepting aucition tapes now for new Teams. If you’re interested in trying out for The Biggest Loser, click here. You can send in an audition tape as an individual or as a Team.

The Biggest Loser Meal Plan

Did it surprise anyone that The Biggest Loser would come out with a meal plan? I guess they’re trying to be the next Nutra System.

It will be interesting to see how this new meal plan of theirs shapes up and whether or not it flops. Personally, I don’t think it will be a hit, but I’ve been wrong before!

I look forward to Season 6 of The Biggest Loser. It begins in October. Keep checking back here for updates and more weight loss info and tidbits!

I bought a package and brought it right home. Now I’ve been eating Honey Boy Salmon for as long as I can remember. My Dad use to make Salmon patties out of it. He would use eggs and cracker crumbs plus salt, pepper and whatever seasoning he had on hand. Man, those were great!

Now that I’m watching what I eat, I have had to change up the recipes for salmon just a little. Can’t be using all those whole eggs and salt!

If you love Salmon, especially Pink Salmon, give HoneyBoy Pink Salmon in the package a try. Not only is it loaded with Omega 3, it’s darn good!

Check out the food label for your nutritional chart. Just click the label to the left for a full size image.

Salmon Recipes

Here are a few salmon recipes that I use.

Don’s Salmon Patties

• I package of Boneless and Skinless Honey Boy Pink Salmon in a package.
• 1 Egg white
• Low fat/low sodium cracker crumbs
• Minced onion to taste
• Garlic to taste
• Seasonings - I use cracked pepper and Tony’s

I first start by putting a little bit of Extra Virgin Olive oil in a skillet and saute my mince onion and crushed garlic. While that is starting to sizzle, I mix the HoneyBoy Pink Salmon, cracker crumbs and egg whites and form salmon patties.

I then fry the patties in my seasoned oil until they are golden brown! Yum!

You can eat the salmon patties by their self or I like to put them between 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. If I’ve been a good boy, I’l even put some Miracle Whip on the toast…not too much though!

Salmon is good for us and it’s great addition to any diet! Honey Boy has made using salmon in our diets easy with this new package!

honey boy salmon review

I’ll never make that mistake again!

Anyway, feel free to comment away! They’re fixed…for now

I love TiVo! I was finally able to watch Week 5 of Season 5 of The Biggest Loser and boy was it a good one! I have to say, Season 5 of The Biggest Loser has been one of the best for me. It ranks right up there with Season 2 when Matt and Suzy were on The Biggest Loser.

This week, the show split the groups into two teams. The way the teams were decided was a Challenge between the trainers. Bob and Jillian had to run up escalators. The first one to do it 10 times got to pick their teams. Haahaaa…I told everyone watching that as soon as I saw those escalators and Alyson said there’d be only two people compteting, that it would be Bob and Jillian!

Bob Harper - Extreme Competitor?

And what a challege it was! I was more than surprised that Bob smoked Jillian though! Did anyone see that coming? Not only did he lap her, he lapped her like 3 times! Damnit!

I actually saw a little competitive side of Bob in that race. However, it wouldn’t be the last time viewers would see the competitive side of Bob!

For winning the trainer challenge, Bob got to pick 3 Teams. This is where Bob really surprised me, but it shouldn’t have. I might also say many people were upset at Bob for the teams he picked.

Bob Harper - Gamer

I’ll just say this. Bob has got his ass smoked in the last several years, except when Jillian wasn’t a trainer. He wants one of his people to win The Biggest Loser. And he wants them to win it Bad, real bad. As Jillian said “Bob has blood in his mouth!”

I never thought Bob would have picked the teams he did. Funny, but since he did pick them, I kinda respect Bob more. Bob picked the big losers - Black, Grey and Orange teams, leaving Jillian with the poorer performers.

Hey, you people whining about how Bob chose teams or how the contestants play the game…wake up. IT IS A GAME WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! I think this week showed that Bob realized it WAS a Game and not some happy go lucky - feel good - let’s all sit around the campfire singing Kum Ba Yah while the fat melts off show.

It’s a game and Bob Harper is a Gamer! I love it. Now Bob, I never want to hear you scold anyone for how they play the game, ever again!

At the end of the day, Bob wants to win just as bad as anyone. And he showed that when he threw those other teams under the Biggest Loser bus!

I’ll say this also. I think Jillian loves being an underdog. This has two advantages. If she wins, she wins BIG. If she loses, oh well, I had the poor performers. Yeah, Jillian is a Gamer too and she likes to fly under the radar if she can.

Blue vs Black Challenge

The new teams had their challenge also. It’s the same escalator challenge we say in years past. The big talk was among Jillians Black Team, how they had felt dissed and they were going to prove to Bob what bad asses they really were.

If you’ve watched The Biggest Loser for any amount of time, you know when someone talks smack like that, they end up eating their words.

This was no different. All Black Team members had gave up after about 20 minutes on the escaltors. There were still 3, yes count them again, 3 Blue team members on the escalators when the last Black Team member gave up. Score a win for the Blue Team.

The Weigh In

At the weigh in, the Blue Team was up first and put up some good numbers, except perhaps the original Black Team. They both posted a 5 lb weight loss. That’s to be expected since they had big numbers last week.

However, the really big surprise was the Black Team. Britney had a 3lb weight loss which surprised everyone. Kelly lost zilch…zero…nadda! However, Big Paul, hoss of last weeks show actually GAINED 3 pounds. Paul…what the hell?

Needless to say, this sent the Black Team to the Elimination room where most everyone believed Jenn needed to go home. {insert sobs and tears here}

Anyone Else Notice?

I just wanted to bring up one other thing. I have to say, I never noticed this, even after it was pointed out. However, my Wife along with several other people on the Internet forums have stated that it seems that Jillian is givng Britney a “leeetle eexxtra” attention lately. Anyone else noticed that or am I dealing with a bunch of paronoid women?

Week 5 - Season 5 of The Biggest Loser

This weeks show started off by other teams deciding which team they wanted to send home. It came down to the Pink Team to decide who would be sent home and they chose the Yellow Team.

Then Alyson sprung a surprise on the teams. It was the other 6 Teams against the Yellow Team this week. The Yellow Team had to have a greater percentage of weight loss than the combined percentage of weight loss of the other 6 teams combined.

If Yellow won, they got to send the team of their choice home. If they lost the weigh in, they had to immediately leave the biggest loser campus.

At the weekly challenge, the teams had to cross a balance beam over a pool, grab a peg and insert it into a peg board on the other side. Paul from the Yellow Team kicked some major ass by getting 11 pegs into the Yellow Teams peg board when the other Teams only had 6.

The winning team received letters from home. Since Yellow won, they would receive the letters from home. However, they pulled a surprise and let the other 6 Teams receive letters from home. Ahhhh…a little game play in the air!

The Game Play Begins

It’s been no secret that the Black Team is the team to beat on Season 5 of The Biggest Loser. There were two teams, Blue and Orange, who wanted the Black Team to go home. All that had to be done was for the Yellow Team to come out on top.

The Blue and Orange teams decide to do a little water logging before the weigh in and throw it.

Now when Bob found out that the Yellow Team had won the Challenge and gave the other Teams the letters, he smelled gameplay.

He gave this big long lecture to the 6 teams about Gameplay and how he wanted to know everything that went on. He also went on to say how he hated gameplay..yada…yada…yada…

Sorry Bob, but at the end of the day, it’s still a game and there will be winners and losers. People are quick to forget this is a game.

So at the weigh in, there were big numbers. All except the Orange team who had been turning in huge numbers the previous weeks, they had only something like a 4 or 5 lb weight loss. The girl on the Blue team had a low weight loss as did one woman on the Purple team.

This gave the 6 teams a combined average percentage weight loss of 2.89%.

The Yellow Team did very well and finished with a percentage of weight loss in the mid 3% range.

The Biggest Loser Game Twist

Unfortunately for the Yellow team, whoever was The Biggest Loser team of the week won immunity. The Yellow team had their sights set on sending the Black Team home, but they had the highest percentage of weight loss for the week and they won immunity. The Yellow team would have to choose another victim.

The Yellow team really didn’t like being selected for elimination. They’re choices of who to send home came down to the 3 teams who chose them for elimination which were the Black Team, Purple Team and Pink Team.

I think the decision was very easy for the Yellow Team as they’ve never really liked the Pink team.

Biggest Losers turn to Sore Losers?

It was obvious in the elimination room that the Pink team of Bette-Sue and her daughter were going home. You’d think they would suck it up and tough it out and be gracious losers like other teams before them. But they didn’t. The griped and complained about the whole thing and how “unfair” it was.

At first, I wanted them to send the Purple team home, but when I saw the way that Bette-Sue and her daughter acted, I was glad to see them go.

See Ya…wouldn’t want to be ya!

So the Pink Team has left the biggest loser campus folks!

In an interview with a reporter from the St. Louis Dispatch, the doctor for The Biggest Loser Show said that the show was not realistic and should only be watched for its entertainment value.

In a Q & A session where Doctor Rob Huizenga, the doctor on The Biggest Loser, the good doctor was pitching his new book along with answering questions from the newspaper reporter.

When asked if the workouts the contestants performed on the show were realistic for someone sitting on the couch at home, the doctor said

The show is entertainment. What we do on “The Biggest Loser” is not appropriate to what I’d recommend for anyone to do.

The reporter went on to ask, in somewhat of a slam to the show, how a Harvard educated doctor got involved with “a show like this” (the biggest loser show”

Doctor Huizenga responded;

I got a call from the producers wanting a show where we could physically see the results in 10 weeks … and combat all of the plastic surgery shows that were on.

As the team doctor for the LA Raiders, my job was to keep weight on (the big linemen) during two-a-day practices. But no matter what we did, we couldn’t keep the weight on. We gave them food every four hours - pizza, shakes, meals at 4 a.m. - and they kept losing weight.

I suggested (for the show) two-a-day workouts plus dietary manipulations. And that’s how the show began - an exercise-based weight program … of people working out like professional athletes.

As the doctor went on pushing his new book, he stated that two workouts per day combined with a proper diet would provide realistic weight loss to overweight people.

The last question asked by the reporter was about how to get non atheletes to work out twice a day. To this Dr. Huizenger said:

You have to be scared for your health and you have to want to feel better and you have to want to extend your life. At the end of the day, only you care about you. You can have a lot of other reasons, but somewhere inside, you have to say you want to be better, better at work, in your personal life, kinder to your significant other, a better parent, and you can’t do that when you’re always on edge. Exercise relieves your stress and makes you more focused and smarter. How many people would run out and buy a pill today if it made their brain sharper and more effective and less stressed and less depressed? That’s what I offer. I have the magic pill. It’s right here.

Well, I guess there is a magic pill for weight loss after all! However, I do not believe it will be an easy one to swallow! It will be interesting to see how the show’s contestants as well as TV watchers respond to these statemetns made by the good doctor!

The Biggest Loser Show’s Doctor Has The Magic Pill For Weight Loss
