Right next to the male enhancement products and the heartfelt letters from my Nigerian friends, are offers for magical weight loss supplements that claim to have the ability to evaporate my fat on contact!

There’s a lot of buzz, especially on the Internet, about all these outrageous fat loss products, especially teas that will help you lose weight: green tea with hoodia, green tea plus, wu yi green tea. You name the teas, and of course it’s going to magically help you lose weight.

[There are a ton of great pics on the web like this one that show the beauty of a green tea field. Supposedly, this is a shot from one such field near Mt. Fugi in Japan. Absolutely stunning! ]

Life is normally not very exciting. Most of us get up in the morning and live each day almost as an exact mimic of the one before.

We rise, brush our teeth, wash away our less than lovely aromas, go to work, deal with it on a reactive level, come home, toss in a frozen dinner, watch a little TV, and get ready to shut ‘er down and start it all over again the following day.

Personally, fitness is just one weapon I use in my arsenal to break up this boring cycle. Three or four times a week I’ll step into a gym, or onto a running trail and tell myself, “Self, you are going to be better than you were the last time we were here.” Then I don’t just “work out”, I train.

To be stronger. To be faster. To be better than I currently am.

Sure, it might be great once it hits your lips, ala Frank the Tank, but once it hits your stomach too much can be a step onto the wrong side of the scale.

One way to bump up intake of unwanted calories is with alcohol. Some drinking may be driven by taste and the ‘relaxant’ effects alcohol can have. However, what is less well recognized is that drinking can also be driven by plain thirst and hunger. Maintaining hydration during the day so that you’re not coming home or walking into a bar or restaurant very hungry can really help to curb alcohol intake without any sense of sacrifice.

I try not to drink too much alcohol but there are those times when a nice cool glass of water just won’t do the job you’re looking for, but the idea is not to overdo it.
