Weight Loss Abuse Task Force Announces Worst Weight Loss Products Of 2004
Hettinger, ND December 16, 2004 –- The Weight Loss Abuse Task Force for the National Council Against Health Fraud announces the 16th annual Slim Chance Awards, highlighting this year's worst diet schemes. Chaired by Frances Berg, nutritionist and family wellness specialist, the Task Force recognizes this year's worst diet gimmicks, including green tea patches for your thigh and pills that target specific "problems" like abdominal fat, menopausal weight gain and the low-carb fad. "These products and countless others promise quick weight loss with no effort," Berg explains. "They need to be exposed as scams that lighten your wallet but not your body." Berg's organization, the Healthy Weight Network, started the Slim Chance Awards 16 years ago as a reaction to the glut of unsafe products on the market. The awards are part of the lead-up to Healthy Weight Week, January 16 to 22."We want to shift our national focus to health and wellness, to acceptance, respect and an appreciation of diversity," explains Berg, author of the new book "Underage and Overweight." "It's time to move on from the war so many Americans are waging against their own bodies." Here are the Slim Chance Awards for the "worst" of 2004:* Worst Gimmick: Green Tea300 patchesFour patches come free when you buy $59.99 worth of tea. Claimed to burn fat, suppress appetite, increase thermogenesis, and speed the metaboic rate without increasing hypertension or heart rate. Advertised through email spam.* Most Outrageous: EstrinD Billed as the first and only diet pill for menopausal and pre-menopausal weight gain, EstrinD is touted to reduce calorie intake, stop binge eating, increase metabolism, control mood swings, and provide a sense of well being. Nearly full-page advertisement in USA WEEKEND.* Worst Product: CortiSlim Falsely claims that reducing cortisol, the stress hormone, with CortiSlim will cause rapid fat loss from abdomen and thighs. Nationally aired infomercials use a deceptive "talk show" format, FTC charges. * Worst Claim: CarboburnFor low-carb dieters wearied of living without carbs, it's no longer necessary. "CarboBurn will neutralize the carbohydrates…block the storage of fat before it attaches to your stomach, waist, thighs, buns…chisel your fat away and let lean muscle shine through…and it doesn't matter if you hate exercise." Advertised online. About Frances BergFormer editor, publisher and founder of Healthy Weight Journal, Frances (Francie) M.

New Happenings this Week
The fat in the abdominal area functions differently than fat elsewhere in the body. It has a greater blood supply as well as more receptors for cortisol, a stress hormone. Cortisol levels rise and fall throughout the day, but when you're under constant stress, the amount of the hormone you produce remains elevated. With high stress and, consequently, high cortisol levels, more fat is deposited in the abdominal area. This week's focus is on Yoga Asanas for Reducing Abdominal Fat. In fitness, Namita
Hot Fitness Tip of the Week
If you are have an hourglass figure, then you should be focusing on both cardio and resistance exercises. Cardio will assist in keeping your weight in check, while resistance exercises will help to maintain balance between your upper and lower body. Vary your repetitions and keep your resistance weights light so as not to build too much muscle mass. The best way to burn off excess calories or fat is through cardio-focused exercises, such as running, cycling and swimming for 30-40 minutes three to four times a week. Remember, adopting an exercise that you enjoy and eating healthy will help you feel good whatever your size.
Words of Inspiration
Believe in yourself: If I would leave any thought with someone I would say never doubt yourself. No matter what people say, no matter what you may think sometimes, never doubt yourself. If you believe in yourself you will succeed far more than you will fail. He who possesses a quiet kind of faith in his ability to perform a task already has the task half completed. Believe in yourself despite setbacks, despite the seemingly immovable obstacles, despite the cold and dark, despite the woe and pain, and eventually your faith will come to fruition, and you will find all those troubles behind you. The simplest thing in the world is to deride ourselves because we made a mistake, to give up and say, ""I'm no good"", but the more difficult thing is to believe in ourselves and constructively continue our life. The greatest error in life is to downgrade ourselves. There seems to be a self uncertainty that builds up in the mind every time one makes a mistake or fails to accomplish a task, and with every successive blunder the uncertainty grows stronger until one doubts one's ability to do anything right. Being human we are host to a number of frailties, each one of which disturbs and depresses us, and makes us doubt our worth. We are not a mechanically precise machine, we are a bundle of nerves which often tangle and get jangled, but are capable of amazing performance. We have more strength than we believe, there is more fight within us than we know, and far more potential than we could ever call forth or even dream of being possible.
