I started taking Apidexin for a boost of energy since I am up at 5 am and usually going till around 11 pm, I take care of my household and my grandmother.

I did notice that I did have extra energy without any side effects such as the jitters, cotton mouth etc...

I have also managed to lose an average of 5.6 lbs per week while taking it BUT I also exercise 5 to 6 days a week and eat Clean foods.

Fish, chicken, Veggies, Fruits, almonds, brown rice and very lean beef

here is my question How do we deal with a trainer or supposed trainer that says:

Women trying to lose shouldn't lift only lots of cardio and if they lift keep it small like 2 to 3 lbs.

When you have my schedule 3000 isn't alot.. LOL

I usually use the elliptical until is says 800 to 850 calories burned 5 to 6 days a week it is my stress reliver since I not only take care of my house hold but also my elderly grandmothers, I can climb on the elliptical crank up the Ipod and just have my time with no interuptions without it I would go crazy!!!

I do make sure that I get my protein in I have a whey protein shake before and after each work out. along with Chicken or Fish with each meal and red meat twice a week.

Wal-Mart still employs thousands of Americans.

Wal-Mart creates a net loss of jobs in the communities they invade.

In other words, there are more americans out of work because of walmart than there are who work for walmart.

 Try and blame Wal-Mart all you like but it is in fact the Consumer that chooses of their own free will where to spend their money.

It is also the consumer that buys products from overseas don't buy it and Wal-Mart won't sell it.

Minimum wage is a heck of alot better then no wage!

Not trying to stir up anything but I keep reading that if you eat meat you can't be against animal cruelty, why?

I eat meat and I will go tooth and nail against anyone mistreating an animal, I am putting my best effort in getting petitions signed to keep micheal vick from playing in the NFL again, so how can you judge and say that because I eat meat I am not against animal cruelty?

99.9% of families that raise their own cattle, chickens, hogs, etc.. are not in anyway cruel to the animals they raise.

When I was a kid my grandparents had a farm when it was time for slaughter it was a fast and painless process.

They had clean barns and coops to live in, good food, plenty of water and were NOT mistreated in anyway

I understand what you are saying about diet pills but like I said I only take mine for an extra energy boost.

I have made clean eating a life style not just a diet so yes I will continue to eat this way.

And I DO NOT in any way recommed alli to anyone, shoot I wouldn't even feed it to my ex-hubby and I want him to suffer.

hahah

tap water is nothing even close to bottled

my tap water tastes like the faucet

also it's  so convenient to just grab a bottle and go

they also say you shouldn't use those re-usable water bottles because they cause cancer when the plastics erode off and you are basically drinking that material.

 Shoot with my schedule I am up and going from 5am to midnight, Bottled water is so much easier for me to get the amount of water I need.

We drink bottled water here too when I can't get to the mountains to get any, Strange thing is people say tap and bottled water are the same...The tap water here tastes like a swimming pool yet bottled water doesn't.

Generally not... iced tea has both sugar and caffeine in it. Both of which will help you pee more, and not necessarily help you retain the water you need.

Alot of people don't like water, so we generally suggest that they try it chilled (it's better when it's cold), and also that they try it with some lemon, oranges or strawberry slices in it.

 You can get decaffinated tea bags and use Splenda for a really nice caffine free sugar free drink.

I take Apidexin,  Let me tell you a little about my day and you'll see why at the end of this post  and this is a day without Dr appts etc..

5:00 am UP and cooking Hubbys meals for the day

6:00 am Get daughter up and cook her breakfast before school

7:30 am take daughter to school

8:00 Go to grandmothers ( 91 yo ) house to care for her for the day

9:00 Get daughter bathed and ready for bed

10:00 FINALLY time to squeeze in Cardio

OK I outlined my day to say this, I do take apidexin but NOT for the weight loss claim I take for the extra boost of energy so that I will even feel like exercising when I get time.

I know that my diet of "clean" foods and exercise will be the reason I lose the weight but the extra energy boost is needed on some days

My husband and I weigh in once a week, we have our own little "biggest loser" competiton going on now and the winner each week gets a special treat.

The scale by no means should be your only device for measuring success, your clothes being loser, rings getting to big, etc... You have to remember that as you excercise you will burn fat and gain lean muscle which weighs more but you are getting smaller.

That is kind of my question, I always do the elliptical for my cardio.

I have a bad heel and walking on the treadmill or even walking the track becomes painful after about 10 to 15 minutes BUT I can work on the elliptical for a couple hours at a time without pain.

So my question is, is it OK to just do cardio on the elliptical so long as I vary my workouts and resistance?

I also get in 2 days of strength training along with cardio and vary those exercises from week to week.

Thanks

The personal trainer that I was using was a nutritionist.

He had me working out 3 to 4 hours a day ( 1 hr circuit, 1.5 cardio, and the rest classes at the gym)

He also only had me eating 950 calories a day, I stayed Hungry all the time and I just didn't feel like doing anything.

My point being even though they may have a certificate saying they are a Nutritionist doesn' t mean they are worth their weight in salt.
