			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 135px"><a href="http://shrsl.com/?~x4q"><img alt="Subliminal Weight Loss" src="http://www.diet-help-guide.com/img/subliminal-weight-loss.jpg" title="Subliminal Weight Loss" width="125" height="110" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Subliminal Weight Loss</p></div>Subliminal Weight Loss uses subliminal messages on MP3 or CD to help lose weight and burn fat, kind of like hypnosis. These subliminal messages bypass the conscious mind and work directly on the subconscious mind to help accelerate weight loss and to help keep it off.</p>
<p>Bad habits are one of the key problems in trying to lose weight. Habits are mental, and subliminal messages target this mental aspect of weight loss. Subliminal messages can work to:</p>
<p>•	Increase willpower<br />
•	Stop “comfort” eating<br />
•	Reinforce healthy eating habits<br />
•	Overpower psychological eating habits<br />
•	Motivate you to be more energetic and increase metabolism<br />
•	Motivate you to exercise more</p>
<p>It only costs $11.95 to give it a try. Load it on your phone or listen in the car all you want. <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~x4q">ORDER HERE</a></p>
<p><strong>Do Subliminal Messages Work?</strong></p>
<p>Subliminal messages have been used in advertising since the 1970’s. In the US, the FCC at one point held hearings on the use of subliminal messages in advertising because of the concern that subliminal messages were too effective. </p>
<p>While subliminal messages are not going to totally brainwash the general public, subliminal messages will help to reinforce certain thoughts and behaviors. There are quite a few <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21515314">scientific papers</a> supporting this. A search of PubMed for the term &#8220;subliminal&#8221; reveals 1271 peer-reviewed journal articles.</p>
<p>An MP3 only costs $11.95 and is definitely worth trying – much cheaper than diet pills that you have to restock every month. You can load it onto your phone and listen several times a day. <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~x4q">ORDER HERE</a></p>
<p><strong>Does Subliminal Weight Loss Work?</strong></p>
<p>Again, weight loss has a large mental and behavioral component, so the fact that subliminal messages are effective in this domain supports the idea that they should work for weight loss as well.</p>
<p>Peer-reviewed scientific <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/670487">journal papers</a> do support the idea that those using subliminal techniques had more successful weight loss and were better at maintaining it than those that did not use subliminal techniques. </p>
<p>An MP3 only costs $11.95 and is definitely worth trying – much cheaper than diet pills that you have to restock every month. You can load it onto your phone and listen several times a day. <a href="http://shrsl.com/?~x4q">ORDER HERE</a></p>
<p><strong>Keeping it Off</strong></p>
<p>Behavioral and mental adjustment is key to keeping weight off. Many people can lose weight; they just can’t keep it off. People just fall back into their same old behaviors that got them fat to begin with. </p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subliminal_message">Subliminal</a> weight loss though can help prevent this.  It can be a daily dose of behavioral adjustment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dreamfields Pasta and <a href="http://buy-dietrine.diet-help-guide.com">Carb Blocker pills</a> are two popular approaches to limiting carbs in one’s diet. It is interesting that they share similar concepts towards weight control, though the mechanism that each employs is different. This article provides information about these two popular diet products as well as reviews the similarities and differences. The best aspects of each are analyzed in this review.</p>
<h4>Blocking Carbs</h4>
<p>The shared weight loss idea that both Dreamfield’s pasta and carb blockers adhere to is to block the digestion of carbs. Not only does blocking carbs reduce the number of calories in a particular meal, it also reduces the impact on blood sugar levels. This is an important concept in many popular diets such as Nutrisystems, South Beach, and The ZONE just to name a few. </p>
<h4>Blood Sugar and Glycemic Index</h4>
<p>Foods with less impact on blood sugar are often referred to as low glycemic foods. The glycemic index is a scale of how quickly foods get converted to blood sugar. Keeping blood sugar levels steady is an important part of many weight loss plans. Steady bloody sugar controls appetite, prevents cravings, and helps regulate metabolism and fat burning. Spikes in blood sugar will trigger your body to convert blood sugar into fat.</p>
<h4>Good Carbs and Bad Carbs</h4>
<p>Foods like white bread and potatoes have a high glycemic index because they are easily and quickly converted to blood sugar during digestion. These are sometimes referred to as bad carbs. Good carbs are low glycemic foods. These foods have various properties that slow down the conversion of carbs to blood sugar. Often the good carbs are bound with fiber, protein, and/or fat that works to slow down or block digestion of the carbs.</p>
<h4>Dreamfields Pasta approach</h4>
<p>The approach that Dreamfields pasta takes to block carbs is to bind the carbs up even tighter with fiber. In Dreamfields pasta the carbs are just tougher to breakdown and digest. Most of the carbs pass through digestion without having a chance to be released into the blood stream. This is beneficial to diets because there are less calories and because there is less impact on blood sugar. Dreamfields claims that a clinical study reports that their pasta has 65% less impact on blood sugar than regular pasta.</p>
<h4>Carb Blocker Pill approach</h4>
<p>The <a href="http://www.diet-help-guide.com/diet-pills/carb-blocker-diet-pills-with-phase-2/">Phase 2 Carb Blocker pill </a>approach is to instead of making the carbs tougher to digest, it makes certain key digestive enzymes less effective at carrying out the digestion of carbs. There are specific enzymes produced by the pancreas designed to convert carbs to blood sugar, and Carb Blocker pills use an all-natural, concentrated extract from white kidney beans to neutralize these key enzymes. It is the same idea as using an antacid to neutralize stomach acid, but in this case the neutralizing agent works on carb digesting enzymes. This extract, called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaseolamin">phaseolamin</a> or &#8220;Phase 2&#8243; has been <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaseolamin">clinically proven</a> to aid weight loss and reduce glycemic index of foods.</p>
<h4>Which Works Best</h4>
<p>Dreamfields pasta and carb blocker pills with Phase 2 achieve the same effect of less digestion of carbs and less impact on blood sugar levels. Which works best may vary from individual to individual. The advantage to carb blockers is that carbs can be blocked in all types of foods whereas Dreamfields is specific to pasta. Because they each employ two different methods, it gives one different options to try in case the other is not as effective for them personally, for whatever reason (personally I go overboard whenever I eat pasta).</p>
<p>The effectiveness of each will be limited to a certain extent, so one cannot go overboard consuming carbs with either if the goal is to lose weight. Dreamfields pasta will start to lose its effectiveness if it is over-cooked, and may also be affected by such factors as how long one stores leftovers, what kind of sauce is used, what is drank with it, et cetera. The carb blocker pills with Phase 2 will reduce the carbs digested, but what percentage could vary depending on various factors.</p>
<p>A good way to look at is that these diet products can turn bad carbs into good carbs. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A large number of people have determined that low carb or &#8220;good carb&#8221; diets are the best way to lose weight, but now you can get the same results in a pill. Buy the Dietrine Carb Blocker Pill with Phase 2 to get the same benefits of a low carb diet while enjoying more of your &#8220;bad carb&#8221; foods like bread and pasta.</p>
<h4>Low Carb / Good Carb Dieting</h4>
<p>Many of the most popular diets today such as Nutrisystems, South Beach, and The Zone all emphasize &#8220;good carbs.&#8221; These are carbs that get converted to blood sugar more slowly. Now there is simple and convenient way to turn all carbs, even bad carbs, into good carbs through the use of this innovative carb pill with Phase 2. </p>
<h4>Phase 2</h4>
<p><a href="http://buy-dietrine.diet-help-guide.com">Buy the Dietrine Carb Block Pill with Phase 2</a> to block your body&#8217;s ability to break down carbs using a safe extract from the white kidney bean. This extract neutralizes a key digestive enzyme produced by the pancreas that is essential in breaking down carbs. This extract, called &#8220;Phase 2&#8243; or Phaseolamin, has been <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaseolamin">clinically proven</a> to lower the glycemic index of food and to aid in weight loss. With this breakthrough diet pill, the carbs will pass through your system with a smaller portion of these actually being converted to blood sugar &#8211; all carbs become good carbs. </p>
<p><strong>It is the same idea as taking an antacid to neutralize stomach acid. In this case though, you are neutralizing a carb-digesting enzyme.</strong></p>
<h4>Blocking Carbs is Well Established</h4>
<p>The Dietrine <a href="http://www.diet-help-guide.com/diet-pills/carb-blocker-diet-pills-with-phase-2/">Phase 2 Carb Blocker</a> Pill with Phaseolamin is a breakthrough, innovative approach to slowing down digestion of bad carbs, but the idea of blocking carbs is well established. Traditionally, &#8220;good carb foods&#8221; are those such as beans where factors such as fiber and protein help to slow down the digestion of carbs. In the case of fiber, it tends to form a protective shell that makes the carbs harder to digest. There is even a popular product made by <a href="http://www.dreamfieldsfoods.com">Dreamfields</a> where they process the pasta in such a way just to make it harder to digest.</p>
<h4>New Approach to Blocking Carbs</h4>
<p>So the concept of blocking digestion of carbs is well understood and appreciated, but now you can order and buy the Dietrine Carb Blocker Pill with Phase 2 to take a breakthrough, cutting edge approach.  This diet pill counteracts specific digestive enzymes to block the digestion of carbs, and thus ANY bad carb food such as bread, rice, and pasta will get absorbed like it was a good carb. Same concept &#8211; brocolli is a good carb because the carbs are hard to digest &#8211; but now the innovative design of the carb blocking pill with Phase 2 extends this to any food you eat. </p>
<h4>Clinically Proven Safe and Effective</h4>
<p>The Dietrine Carb Blocker Pill is an all natural, perfectly safe diet pill made from the extract of white kidney beans (Phase 2 / Phaseolamin) and contains no harsh drugs or stimulants. As was stated above, it simply uses an innovative approach to proven concepts to help your body treat all carbs as good carbs. To read about the clinical trials showing that Phase 2 / Phaseolamin aided weight loss and lowered the glycemic index of foods, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaseolamin">click here</a>.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Rotation diets shift around the types of food you eat day to day so that your body cannot adapt to your diet as easily. Some of these diets will shift the number of carbs you eat day to day, while others will shift the content of meals day to day (for example you might <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://www.diet-help-guide.com/dietarticles/article-rotation-diets/">Article &#8211; Rotation Diets</a></span>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rotation diets shift around the types of food you eat day to day so that your body cannot adapt to your diet as easily.  Some of these diets will shift the number of carbs you eat day to day, while others will shift the content of meals day to day (for example you might have a high-carb, low-fat breakfast for two days, then the next day it would be low-carb and moderate fat.) </p>
<p>The point of these is to prevent your body from adapting to your diet plan. Plateaus and “sticking points” where you stop losing weight are common problems in many weight loss programs that often require some kind of change-up to work through them, but Rotation diets have a change mechanism built in. Often even before you reach a “sticking point”, your body will start to burn fat less and less quickly as it adapts to what you eating, and rotation diets can prevent this slowdown as well. The constant change-up will make it harder for your body to realize that it is losing fat, and it will be less likely to respond by doing such things as slowing down your metabolism. Especially if your body thinks it is starving, it will do what it can to slow things down.</p>
<p>Rotation is a good weight loss principle no matter what diet you are on, and several diets make it the cornerstone of their program. The problem is that you still need to make sure that the rest of the diet plan is sound and will work well in conjunction with rotation. The advantage to specific Rotation diet plans is that that they will have a plan to follow if you are not good at figuring out how to do the rotation yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Glycemic Index (GI) has become the basis for many diets, and even those that don’t mention it explicity will talk in terms of “good carbs” and “bad carbs”. Glycemic index is a measure of how quickly the carbohydrates in food get converted to blood sugar. The lower the number, the slower the food gets converted. Slower conversion leads to more steady blood sugar levels, which promotes better weight loss and better overall health. Spikes in blood sugar levels trigger increased insulin output which causes the body to store fat, while steadier blood sugar will result in more overall energy and less hunger.</p>
<p>For better health and better weight loss, foods with lower glycemic indexes are preferrable and many diet plans emphasize these. Examples of low glycemic foods include legumes/beans, oats, oatmeal, barley, bran, and most fruits and vegetables (but not potatoes). These are the “good carbs”. Bad carbs are those that converted to sugar very quickly like potatoes, white bread, and white rice. Generally speaking, the good carbs include fiber. Fiber helps to slow down the conversion to blood sugar. </p>
<p>Not only fiber, but protein and fat also help slow down the conversion to blood sugar. So while some foods have a low glycemic index, it is also possible to make any meal better in terms of blood sugar by including fiber, protein, and even a little fat. This is why many diet plans emphasize high protein and high fiber, and this is why you can sometimes include some of the bad carbs in your diet as long as you control the portion size and balance the meal out with plenty of protein and fiber.</p>
<p>For more information, check out <a href="http://www.glycemicindex.com/">Glycemic Index Online</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index">Wikipedia</a>.</p>
