The Fat Loss Authority- How to Lose Weight

Put aside what you may have heard or read about guarana. If you want the real truth, we’ll let you know and we won’t overdo it or sugar coat anything.

[ Guarana is a very popular soda flavor in Brazil and has been for years, long before it became a diet substance.]

If you’ve visited a Skechers retail store or flipped through a health magazine in the last six months you may have noticed a funny looking shoe called Shape Ups hitting the weight loss marketplace.

[Nothing makes me feel more comfortable then walking barefoot.]

According to Skechers, Shape Ups were designed to promote weight loss, firm calf and butt muscles, improve posture and strengthen your back with several styles and colors available for men and women.

Now it’s not often weight loss and fashion are combined into one tangible product but during a recent visit to a Skechers retail store I decided to give these bad boys a try because you can

Another catchy title on the fat loss book circuit has made it’s way across my desk this month with The Denim Diet -16 Simple Habits to Get You into Your Dream Pair of Jeans coming in from wardrobe stylist and set designer Kami Gray.

[When I see this photo, I can't help but think the girl in the foreground is laughing at the full piece bathing suit in the background? I'm sure there were similar snickers at the Costco checkout with my copy of The South Beach Diet in tow.]

I can still remember all the hype back in 2003 when the South

Another week and a dozen more offers sitting in my email inbox for the amazing Acai Berry. I’ve put off the idea of analyzing this highly touted supplement primarily for these two reasons:

1. Anything that sounds to good to be true usually falls flat on it’s face, especially in the world of fat loss;

2. Oprah.

[A friend asked me what Acai supplement she should be using in her diet. This picture captures my reaction quite well.]

Now I enjoy most of Oprah’s segments and features but this particular episode from last year, which also included some hyped-up talk about Resveratrol, was a complete disaster.

OK, it was really Dr. Mehmet Oz who dropped the ball, but unknowingly or not, this episode contributed to a dramatic rise
