Day 2
7:30am- Survived the first day and I am right back at it. I wasn’t hungry at all throughout the night. I notice that when you have things to do you don’t think about being hungry. So make sure you do something to stop your cravings.
8:00am- Still following the novalife program and taking the vitamins, cleanse, and shake. Believe it or not I am not hungry yet, but I am drinking the shakes and cleanse.
Day 1
7:30am-I am so excited to start the program so I can be on my way to a six pack! I am not really up for drinking the shakes because I have tried shakes in the past and they were horrible.
8:00am- Tried the mint chocolate chip shake and its really good. It really taste like the girl scout mint chocolate chip cookies. Best part is you don’t even have to add milk to make it taste better. Water does the trick. Read more
Day 6 – so this day was a little hard becuase you had those three wonderful days where you got eat dinner of chicken and vegetables and then you had to start drinnking the cleanse again and only shakes so I thought I would miss the food a lot but becuase of it being later in the week the shakes actually filled me up more and I was not nearly as crappy as I was on Day 2!

End of the first day of the cleanse and besides being very cold in this freezing office I feel ok. I wasnt too hungry today shakes really were filling. The cleanse portion did not taste that great but it was bearable and got better every time I drank it. Read more
Snacking yourself skinny
Now that the Olympics have pre-empted most every show on TV, I have found myself channel surfing more than usual. I came across one of the shopping channels with a program titled: “Eat yourself thin.” Since I’m a man, I just kept flipping for another hour or 2, and missed it, but the premise does hold true.
DHEA is a hormone that serves as precursor to male and female sex hormones. DHEA levels are low in some people with anorexia, type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes) and a host of other disorders. DHEA levels may also be depleted by a number of drugs, including insulin, corticosteroids, opiates and especially hormonal birth control. High levels of physical, emotional and psychological stress also lowers DHEA concentrations.
Get more exercise. How many times have we heard that? What exactly does that mean? Years ago I sat on an incline bike at 24 Hour Fitness in Pasadena, TX listening to a 300+ 50+ year old smoker complaining to his equally pre-disposed buddy that his doctor told him to get more exercise and that the afore-mentioned pending cardiac arrest was aghast when his doctor told him that being able to bench press over 200lbs didn’t count.
