Weight Loss is Slow, So I’m Doing Something About It

by | Jul 7, 2021 | Dieting Tricks | 0 comments

My weight loss is slow right now. A lot slower than it was at the start. I know that it’s normal for things to go quickly for the first few weeks because it’s actually a lot of water loss and body composition changes going on and not necessarily fat burning.  Still, it’s getting to me that I’m losing 1 pound every 2 to 3 weeks at the moment.

Doing Something Because My Weight Loss is Slow

If I keep up this pace, I’ll reach my goal on the scale in 2050. I’ve decided to buy three bottles of diet pills to help me out.  I think I should have done this from the start. If there’s one thing that I know about myself, it’s that weight loss is slow at the best of times. I’m just not willing to give up absolutely everything I love to eat in the name of faster fat burning.

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that I love to cook, and I love to bake. I like to try new things. I’m not about to give that up. I do try to be nutritious about my choices, and I’m really working on portion control. Still, that means that when I’m tracking my calories, I’m usually juuuust inside the line for where I should be. As a result, my weight loss is slow.

Choosing a Diet Pill

I’ve used diet pills before, off and on. I also know that Marley has had a lot of luck with her own diet pills while she’s been keto dieting. For some reason, I’d hoped to take on my goal without leaning on a supplement. I’m not sure why. Would I want to try to build something from IKEA without one of those little allen keys? Of course not. To reach a goal, I need the right tools.  For me and the dieting strategy I’m using, a diet pill would help to give me the support I need to turn around this slow weight loss trend.

I’ve chosen a pill called APEX TX5. It’s made by Intechra Health, which is the same company that makes the diet pills Marley is using, and I’ve tried a couple of other things they make in the past. I’ve ordered 3 bottles (because ordering 3 at a time gets a reduced price, free shipping, and a free extra bottle of another diet pill called FENFAST 375 that I’ll be able to try, too).

Once they arrive, I’ll take some pictures and talk about them here and on Facebook.

I picked this pill because all its ingredients are clinically studied and because its benefits focus on metabolic rate support, thermogenic effects, plus focus and alertness. So essentially, the idea is for me to keep doing what I’m doing but make it easier, so I’ll get more out of my calorie control and workouts without as much struggle. Hopefully, this will be the end of the slow weight loss for me!

Most of Us Think we’re Making Far Better Healthy Food Choices Than We Are

Most of Us Think we’re Making Far Better Healthy Food Choices Than We Are

I like to think that I’m making some healthy food choices, for the most part. I know my diet isn’t perfect. I don’t even aim for perfect. I’d have to give up too much of my favorite treats to get to that point. I don’t even think that focusing too much on nutrition is great for your overall wellbeing. A bit of fun has its place now and then. That said, according to this new study I’ve read, we Americans think we’re doing far better than we are, and it’s really holding us back!

What Exactly is a Calorie Deficit for Weight Loss?

What Exactly is a Calorie Deficit for Weight Loss?

I’d heard about the need for a calorie deficit about a million times before I actually looked into what it was. Now, I understand that the name pretty much explains what it is. I got it on the most basic level. If I wanted to lose weight, I needed to burn more calories than I was taking in. That said, when it comes to putting things into practice, the situation became less obvious to me. I admit that it took freaking forever for me to actually look it up.

Running and Dehydration: A Brutal Combination

Running and Dehydration: A Brutal Combination

Running and dehydration pretty much go hand-in-hand during the summer months. As someone who has taken up running relatively recently and is facing her first summer with the sport, this is very new to me, though not unexpected. That said, as I’ve been researching, I’ve also discovered that the combination, while brutal, isn’t exactly what many of us assume it is, particularly when it comes to difficulty level.
