Diet Not Working? 4 Safe Alternative to Weight Loss

The human body is wildly complex, and this means that there is no universal solution for weight loss. Many of those looking to shed some pounds will find that their diet and exercise plan is no longer enough, but they are unsure of what their other options could be. Here are four of the safest and most effective methods to trim off some weight when that new diet seems to have stopped working.

Diet Not Working 4 Safe Alternatives for Weight Loss 
1. Keep Cold Water On Hand
Staying hydrated is the single most important step of remaining healthy, but drinking cold water regularly may also help to shed some extra weight. This begins with the body needing to warm up colder water, a process that increases one’s metabolism and the amount of calories that they are burning. Having a cup of water before a meal is also one of the best ways to prevent overeating. The body often mistakes thirst for hunger, and staying hydrated will mean less calories accidentally consumed during each meal.

2. Get More Sleep
Sleep is not often associated with weight loss, but recent studies have shown that the opposite is actually true. Research has shown that ample sleep can have a dramatic effect on everything from one’s metabolism and energy levels to their willpower when presented with unhealthy foods. After a full night of restful sleep, the average person will consume 300 fewer calories than those that are chronically sleep deprived.

3. Hormonal Drops and Tinctures
Hormonal drops and tinctures, most notably HCG drops, are now being combined with low calorie diets for those that would like to drop weight as quickly as possible (Source: Intermountain HGC). HCG is often used alongside diets with as few as 500 calories per day for a short period of time. HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a natural hormone that helps the body self-regulate its metabolism. This means fewer calories, greater weight loss, and fewer hunger pangs throughout the process.

4. Natural Appetite Suppressants
There are countless options when it comes to natural appetite suppressants that will make meals and snacks less of a willpower struggle. Typically, natural appetite suppressants should be consumed anywhere from an hour to moments before a full meal is eaten. The body will learn to naturally recognize when enough food has been consumed without overeating. Two of the most common suppressants include cayenne pepper and green tea.

When diet and exercise are no longer working, it may be a time to make some small changes to one’s daily life in order to spur on weight loss once again.

The ache of acne (pimples)

Acne is often the bane of a pretty face. It is painful more emotionally than physically, for the scar that it leaves behind can last for a lifetime, adding to one’s miserable look & feeling. No doubt many expensive skin care clinics have mushroomed in ever nook & corner, offering to clear all the scars & blemishes on the face, but they are very expensive & charge exorbitant price for each sitting; not everyone can afford them. So why not try out this simple skin care regimen to minimize the damage caused by acne & as far as possible prevent its eruption.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.
