Are you on a calorie controlled diet? How many calories is right for you? That depends on many factors. Your age, sex, type of work, physical activity, all contribute to the optimum calorie intake for your body. There is no one answer for this type of thing. Personally I don’t believe the general ideas on how many calories a person should have. For example, if you have a 2,000 calorie diet then you are starving yourself. I know that some people live and die by this number, but a person who is very active going to live off of 2,000 calories would end up looking very skinny in an unhealthy way.
If you truly believe that you are doing the right thing in your eating plan and exercising properly then I don’t see a reason why you should be counting numbers. Successful weight loss isn’t just about numbers. You’ve heard the old saying “mind over matter”. If you have the right mental attitude you will succeed.
Take another point into consideration. If you intake 1000 calories from fish, vegies, and fruit, would you really feel bad? Probably not. You would probably feel quite fresh and healthy. If you intake the same 1000 calories from junk food, then how would you feel? Not as good right? So that’s just a simple example on the “mind over matter” theory. You have the same 1000 calorie intake but your mental attitude is different in each case.
So always keep in mind that weight loss isn’t purely about numbers. Yes the numbers are great because you can compare them but at the end of the day if you feel great that’s what matters the most.

I’m going to write about the ways in which the Proactol diet pill works to assist overweight people lose weight.
So far from what I have read and understood, Proactol’s primary function is to “bind fat”. In fact, it’s clinically proven to do this and the papers will be available soon (I will let you know when it becomes available).
Products that claim to “bind fat” have been on the market before. More recently, an ingredient known as “Chitosan” was used in products and marketed as fat binders. I did some research on Chitosan and found that there was an overwhelming view that there simply wasn’t enough clinical trials and data to support such a claim.
Proactol is clinically proven to bind about 28% of dietary fats if taken straight after a meal. This means that you will consume approximately 28% less dietary fats from each meal. That’s almost a third of the fat you supposedly ate, gone with the help of this diet pill. And because Proactol has been clinically proven to help reduce excess body weight and to help to reduce blood cholesterol levels, you can see why there’s such a big fuss over it’s release date (sometime in January of 2007 from what I have heard).
Something else that I found interesting. As you may or may not know, your stomach is full of acids that break down the foods you consume. Apparently, Chitosan and other fat binding products effectiveness is effected by PH changes in the small intestine. So this would mean that any trials that have been conducted would have varying results, which means as a consumer you would also see varying results. When it comes to weight loss you want consistency because it gives you the feeling that you are on a steady track.
Proactol’s active ingredients Opuntia fiscus-indica has been clinically proven not to be effected by PH changes in the small intestine so there’s another difference.
Not long before the big launch of Proactol. If you want to be informed of it’s release, keep checking back or leave your e-mail address on this page and I will send you an e-mail when it’s out.

Here’s something we’ve all heard before:
A diet pill that works
Here’s something we haven’t heard yet, but now we have:
A clinically proven diet pill that works
I’m excited to have discovered this new diet pill that is about to hit the market called Proactol. Firstly, it fights fat, which is what we all want to hear. But that’s usually the only thing that we hear, and nothing else which leaves us wondering about side effects, effectiveness, etc.
Enter MHRA. It stands for The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. They are a British government agency which is responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices work, and are acceptably safe.
They have officially approved Proactol as a “Medical Device Product” under the MDD 93/42/EEC certification which is a guideline that must be passed for any company wanting to launch a medical device. It has the “CE” seal of approval. It’s funny because I researched into what this “CE” stamp was, and when I found the picture of it I instantly recognized it. I’m sure you have seen it too, here it is:
Things are looking good so far. The only problem is, it hasn’t officially been launched yet! I have also found out that the Proactol diet pill is only being distributed through 1 channel. This is good news for us consumers because it means there won’t be any cheap generic imitations flooding the market which can be extremely dangerous to people who are looking to save money. I’m not a fan of generic medicines as I believe you shouldn’t be putting your health at risk for the sake of some dollars.
I will keep you posted on Proactol!
