Forever Body Transformation and Drinking Water
Having been using Forever Body Transformation to lose weight, and understanding the importance of water, I felt compelled to write about the importance of both. Forever Body Transformation goes beyond losing weight, as it is all about being able to successfully move beyond dieting, to maintain a healthy weight. Drinking water needs to be considered something that moves beyond trying to lose weight. The point I am trying to make is that to truly understand Forever Body Transformation a person needs to realize the program includes water because it is essential to life, and being able to survive at any weight. Drinking water and Forever Body Transformation are both about moving beyond dieting and learning how to allow your body to thrive.
To understand how much water a person should be drinking, while doing Forever Body Transformation, it should be realized that 80 ounces is the absolute minimum amount of water a person needs to drink daily. Please note that 80 ounces it the absolute minimum, and not the maximum. The maximum, should be considered to be about 1/2 your body weight, in ounces, daily.
Instead of focusing on the QUANTITY of water to drink, it is suggested that you spend the time needed to simply observe the color of your urine while urinating. If the color is anything but a very light yellow, it means you should be drinking more water. If the color is clear, it means your body is hydrated.
Water does not mean beer. Water does not mean alcohol. What gets confusing is the “splitting of hairs” on what is good and what is not good to drink. The point is that for this, and any program to work…it has to mean that you drink the liquids that will not only hydrate your body…but will be part of a daily regime that will allow you to continue with it for years to come. If you gag down water to lose weight for some program….it will not be a program that you can transform into a lifetime, and will only result in another diet that fails. Forever Body Transformation is NOT about another diet that fails…it is about learning what works to transform yourself into the thin and healthy person that is just waiting to come out.
On Amazon.com: The Yo-Yo Diet Syndrome
The following is a list of beverages that need to be considered, and understood, about how they react with your body when trying to lose weight and trying to maintain a healthy weight.
- Water
Of course you can drink water. Strive to drink enough water daily to keep a steady and consistently flowing light yellow, or clear urine flow throughout the day. - Sugar Free Drink Mixes
Sugar free drink mixes and Forever Body Transformation go well together. As with all things healthy make sure there is zero sugar and zero calories. This is fine for those that have trouble drinking plain water. - Beer and Alcohol
What needs to be understood is that beer and alcohol both contain sugar, and empty calories. This will hamper any weight loss attempts, on any weight loss program. If you desire to lose weight then cut out the alcohol. If you choose to use Forever Body Transformation (FBT) and drink alcohol….then do not blame the program for your lack of weight loss. - Soda
Soda is considered to be a “FREE” food on the program, if it is a diet soda. The diet soda needs to contain less than 20 calories and be made with Splenda. NON-diet soda is like alcohol and contains sugar, which should be avoided. Soda with sugar is not conducive to weight loss, and that has nothing to do with Forever Body Transformation (FBT) and everything to do with overall health. Soda made with sugar is simply not a healthy thing to drink.
****The thing that also needs to be understood with carbonated beverages is that the carbonation will literally cause your stomach to expand, from the gases in the soda. The stomach is like a muscle and the more it expands and contracts the easier it will be to naturally overeat because of the larger size caused by the expansion of gases from the soda. The more carbonation a person drinks, the easier it is to physically overeat because of the ability of your stomach to expand. - Coffee
Coffee and Forever Body Transformation go well together simply because it is not a bad thing to drink…despite the opinions of many. The only problem with coffee is when a person drinks more than 2 or 3 servings a day. As with all things healthy…it is all about moderation. Creamer with coffee is alright…as long as you pay attention to serving portions and stay within a few cups a day. Moderation…moderation….moderation!
Drinking water while on Forever Body Transformation needs to be looked at as something that can be done for life. Anything else will simply be another yo-yo diet and we know how well those things work. The Forever Body Transformation should be approached from the perspective that you are not just trying to lose weight…you are trying to transform your body for a lifetime, and that requires finding what will work.
Drinking water is essential to thriving, so the real question is how will you thrive as you transform your body to complete health? Stop dieting and start living! The mantra of Forever Body Transformation is “It is not how much you eat…it is what you (choose) to eat!“
Forever Body Transformation Frequently Asked Questions
This page consists entirely of frequently asked questions about Forever Body Transformation. We provide this information as a way to limit the number of emails we have been receiving on the subject. The questions, and answers listed below come from our own personal experiences on the Forever Body Transformation weight loss program, combined with the research we have done to become successful.
Forever Body Transformation Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What is Forever Body Transformation?
Forever Body Transformation uses the concept of a portion-controlled, nutritionally balanced, low-fat program that helps people lose weight faster and more effectively than traditional diet plans. Forever Body Transformation allows a person to use “normal food” to lose weight by teaching about nutrition and portion size. There are no meals to order, and it is not a meal delivery program. The entire concept fosters a situation where the person attempting to lose weight educates themselves on what is needed to be eaten on a daily basis, and then how to use the exact same food to live their life. - Why is the Forever Body Transformation special?
It is not how much you eat…it is what you eat. The program has the distinct approach of helping a person eat the foods the enjoy, from a selected menu with a variety as large as the corner supermarket. The plan teaches about the acceptable variety of nutrition needed to lose weight through portion control, and nutrition label reading. The program is not all about eating lettuce and fish…it is about gaining an understanding of how to ensure your body receives the nutrition it needs to stay in “fat burn.” The special element of Forever Body Transformation is that there really is no transition phase because there are no special foods that need to be eaten. A person learns to eat everything in a combined and sensible approach to weight loss through eating. Since the food being eaten is NOT to lose weight, but to be healthy there is no transition phase that ultimately means all the weight is gained back again. - What types of food are allowed on Forever Body Transformation?
It is not a question of what can and cannot be eaten while on the Forever Body Transformation Program. It is a matter of eating a mixture of all the food groups to achieve a healthy balance of nutrition. While on the plan (which should be considered a life-long goal) a person will be eating Starches, Fruit, Vegetables, Proteins, Milk, Fats and of course water. The goal of the overall program is to NOT keep you ordering food month after month to keep the income flowing for the diet company. The food you use will be what you get at virtually any grocery store and then tailor and prepared according to your own preferences. - Do I Have To Drink Water?
Water is essential to losing weight, and achieving and maintaining vibrant health. The simple answer is yes, but that opens up more questions. The best answer is that a person NEEDS water to live and drinking it is essential to being able to lose weight. As a general rule of thumb, a person should drink no less than 80 ounces of water a day…and strive to drink 1/2 their body weight in ounces daily. The best thing to drink is water and anything that contains zero calories works best. To fully appreciate Forever Body Transformation a person should transition from HAVING to drink water to realizing water is essential to life, and maintaining a healthy weight. - What Can I Drink On The Program
Because of the explanation needed for what can be used as a drink on the program a link has been left here to an article that explains this in-depth. (Article Link) - Can I Have Bread on the Program?
If this question is being asked you need to stop thinking of “going on a diet” because that is NOT what Forever Body Transformation is about. This program is all about learning to eat what is best for your body at the correct times. This plan is NOT about going without…this program is all about learning what it takes to live a normal life, at a healthy weight. Yes, you can eat bread on this plan, in fact, you need to eat bread often…as long as you understand the needs of your body. (Click here for article on bread nutrition labels for Forever Body Transformation) - Can I have snacks on the program?
Simply put…yes there are snacks on the program. In fact, there are many snacks that are to eaten on a daily basis. The list is quite large and what is important is the concept that a person needs to be providing food on a fairly consistent basis during the day to allow the body to remain in a fat burning state. The snacks that can be eaten are what should be eaten because of what the body needs to remain in a state of nutritional health. Snacking is essential to not only losing weight, but also essential to maintaining a healthy weight. Forever Body Transformation uses nothing but food from your local supermarket, even in their snacks. - Can I eat out on this plan?
Yes. Of course you can eat out on this plan because this program is designed to allow a person to live their life…even after weight loss. It would be foolish to think a person could lose weight on the program, and never eat out again. This program is so successful because of the fact it does not require special meals. It is a life-long success that requires a person to learn how to eat out and still be able to lose and keep the weight off forever. Yes, of course you can eat out on this program. - How much does Forever Body Transformation cost?
If a person wants to simply purchase the program (life-time access to website) there is a one-time cost of $47.00, but the price is always subject to change. If that is all the money a person wants to spend…there is nothing else to purchase. There also is the option for a nominal monthly fee to participate in telephone conference calls. During these calls anyone can ask questions from the actual creators of the program. This monthly fee can be eliminated at anytime simply by canceling the fee. (Article on Trustworthiness of Forever Body Transformation) - What weight loss can be expected on Forever Body Transformation?
Before I answer this question I want to tell you that results will vary because everyone will be different, and everyone will follow the plan differently. Some will buy the plan and do nothing, and lose nothing. Others will purchase the program and follow it half-hardheartedly and lose weight accordingly. Others will follow the plan exactly and lose weight quicker than the next person exactly following the plan. The point is that weight loss is a very personal event and the results ALWAYS vary. Generally speaking it is safe to say that during the first week a person can expect to lose 4 to 10 pounds. After that a steady weight loss can be expected. The fact that I could not find an exact figure was not disappointing because I do know that everyone loses weight at their own speed. I will GUESS that it can be expected to lose between 1 to 2 pounds each week. I do not have an exact number I can quote you…but I have provided you with a link to my personal weight loss journal to show how my weight loss has been going.

No, a person does not NEED to exercise to lose weight on the Forever Body Transformation program. Of course weight loss will be faster through simple movement or exercise. - Does a person need to exercise to keep the weight off after all the weight has been lost?
Yes. In order for a person to keep the weight off once it has been lost exercise is a must. Exercising after weight loss is essential for any weight loss program, once the weight is shed. It does not matter how a person loses weight because if they do not move their body once it is gone…the weight will come back. It all has to do with metabolism and that is basic biology. - Can a Vegetarian Do Forever Body Transformation
Yes, Forever Body Transformation can be tailored by the individual to make the program work as a vegetarian. That is what the entire program is about…learning to eat in life! - Can a person do Forever Body Transformation is they are pregnant?
Yes! This program is perfect for a woman that is pregnant. This program is tailored to work with life…and being pregnant is part of many lives. As with ANY eating program…it is highly suggested you bring in the menu from Forever Body Transformation and discuss with your doctor how you could best tailor the program for you…and your baby’s needs. Weight loss is not recommended during a pregnancy but the program can be tailored by you and your doctor to simply ensure nutrition is present in your daily intake of eating. - Can a person breast feed using Forever Body Transformation
Yes! Forever Body Transformation is all about living a normal life and breast feeding is a fact of life for many.

As with any eating plan…it is recommended that you bring in your menu plan and discuss it with your doctor. - Where can I purchase Forever Body Transformation?

Quantum Scale Review: Day #1
Today was the first time that I stepped onto the Quantum Scale, and I must tell you that it was not what I had expected. I was shocked that it was as easy to use as a regular bathroom scale. I was doubly shocked to realize that nobody had come up with this idea before! I have been battling my weight for a much longer time that I will admit, and I have come to look at my bathroom scale as a nemesis of sorts. I would always have “this number” that the scale would show me and it seemed as if it would never go down.
I will tell you that I (incorrectly) allowed the number on my bathroom scale to decide the emotions I was going to have that day, towards my weight loss attempt. Notice I said towards my “weight loss ATTEMPT.” With using my Quantum Scale today for the first time I can see how this is going to work quite well for me! I really do think that this might be one of the easiest weight loss gadget reviews I have ever done because it is simple and straight forward.
The Quantum Scale is what it is…and that is refreshing to see with all of the rip-offs and scams available on the weight loss market today. For the start of this Quantum Scale review I want to say there is no possible way the Quantum Scale could be a rip-off, or a scam.
To explain the Quantum Scale, the only thing you need to know is that it NEVER EVER shows you you total weight. The first time you step on the scale it calibrates itself and your unseen weight is locked in for nobody to ever, ever see. Not even me! It was as easy as stepping on any other scale I have used over the years, with the one difference being that from this moment on, all my weigh-ins will be simply based off the number that was recorded today. No longer do I have to remember how much I weighed yesterday, or even last week. No longer do I have to be concerned with keeping track of my progress, or my lack of progress. The scale does it all with no effort on my part.
What I do know for sure is that from this moment onward, my Quantum Scale will only report back to me how I am doing from this moment forward. The next time I step on the scale it will not show me my weight either. The only thing the Quantum Scale will show me from this point onward is how my progress is doing, based upon this moment in time. The number (that I did not see!) has been recorded by the scale and when I weigh myself next week the results that will be shown on the digital readout..will be in relation to what was recorded today.
If I lose 3 pounds during the next week the scale will simply show me a ’-3′ on the display. If I gain a pound the display will simply show me a ‘+1′ . The overall concept is really very simple, yet it is based around the fact that everyone that tries to lose weight gets fixated on the number of pounds lost, since the last time they were weighed. This can get confusing. From this moment on I will only be concerned with the overall progress of my dieting. What I also think is that when I reach my final goal of weight loss I will re-set the scale and then base it off the weight I will want to maintain.
The Quantum Scale is really a no-brain-er. It is simple to use and it takes the head games out of dealing with all the emotional nonsense that goes with trying to lose weight when we pay too much attention on the scale. I look forward to working with my Quantum Scale.
WonderSlim Success Stories
I have been a WonderSlim user for many days now and I have to tell you that my husband and I are WonderSlim success stories. As I write that…what does it really mean? Does it mean that I have lost all of my weight and I am done? Does being WonderSlim success stories mean that I now understand my relation with food. I now realize that I am an emotional eater and that I love to eat. I now understand that although I am a thin person, there is a fat person just waiting to be reborn. Despite all of my issues with eating, food and obesity I still consider my husband and I to be WonderSlim success stories…and here is why.
We both struggled with our weight for years. We tried this diet, and that plan, and over the years we really grew used to being overweight. In fact, we really did not notice that we were both well into morbidly obese and that we each had to lose well over 100 pounds. It was not until we discovered WonderSlim that substantial weight loss became the reality in our lives. Now that we have lost the weight we have further realized that we will always battle with our weight, but we now know that even though we do not NEED WonderSlim for the rest of our lives, we will use WonderSlim as needed.
A perfect example of what I mean is that Keith and I went out this weekend. We took a four hour drive to New Orleans and while on the road we ate WonderSlim bars and other assorted WonderSlim snacks. While we were in New Orleans we were completely off the WonderSlim plan. We ate ate Olive Garden…and let me be the first to tell you about how great their biscuits taste. They were so good to me that Keith took the third serving away from me to get me to stop eating them! We had a wonderful meal that was followed up by a great dessert that we split. The entire meal was wonderful. The next morning we ate at Cafe De Monde
The point I want to make is that because of WonderSlim I know that since I lost over 112 pounds that I can enjoy the trips, the vacations, the reunions or whatever the event may be. I know that I can come home and within days I can be right back on plan and regain my healthy weight. It is so easy for us to be able to live in both worlds. We no longer struggle with wanting to be thin because WE ARE THIN. No longer do we have to live on a diet or a meal plan. We now get to enjoy whatever we desire and now we understand that we just have to keep one eye on the scale. We now understand that weight loss is more of a journey than it is a destination. For us…weight loss has become the reality, and obesity and diabetes and heart disease the fantasy.
So how have we become WonderSlim success stories?
First and foremost we have lost an amazing amount of weight. I do not want you to think we spend all our time yo-yoing from bingeing to WonderSlim. What I want you to understand is that vacations and trips are no longer filled with conflict..but with understanding. We also know that we no longer have to struggle with beach season or holidays because we understand that being an optimal weight is manageable because we have the tools needed to no longer remain trapped in an obese body. We now have the body that reflects thin in the mirror and because of the long and troubled weight loss journey we took to get here… we know we will never go back again.
Because of WonderSlim we can actually have our cake…and eat it too!

Forever Body Transformation Scam
Is Forever Body Transformation a scam?
The question of whether or not the Forever Body Transformation is a scam will really depend on the mindset of the person trying to use the program to lose weight. I can say this with deep certainty because of my history of with weight loss programs, and weight loss in general. What I mean by this is that there are numerous ways for a person to lose weight, and there are some very valid weight loss programs on the market today. Unfortunately there are many more weight loss scams on the market also! I have learned there are many more websites trying to cheat and rip off with crap weight loss scams than there are websites with legitimate information.
I have written articles about various weight loss programs over the years and it never seems to amaze me that some people can lose weight, while others say it is a scam. The problem with reviewing weight loss programs on the Internet is that I could very-well be the person perpetuating a Forever Body Transformation scam myself!
Out here on the Internet it is very possible for me to write and review pretty much anything…about anything! So the real question you should be asking is NOT if Forever Body Transformation is a scam…but what is the program all about….and what is the return policy? What have the customer reviews been for the program, or the product?
In fairness to all Internet offers (good and bad) it needs to be said that a person needs to understand the background of the organization they are about to spend money because it all comes to the almighty dollar. The first thing I look for is if there is an auto-ship agreement that needs to be subscribed to in the fine print. I hate auto-ship scams because they always smell like they are a scam. I did learn that Forever Body Transformation offers a coaching program, but that you do not need to sign up for the program. I was very happy to see that they did not “sneak in” any scam stuff, as the ordering process was very straight forward.
The biggest point I am trying to make is that the return policy, is all important when deciding whether Forever Body Transformation is a scam. When I first heard that ClickBank was handling ALL of their Internet orders I immediately knew that they were not a scam. I say this because of their iron-clad return policy to get your money back. If Forever Body Transformation were to prove to be a scam it would be a very poorly planned one because everyone could easily get their money back, which would be to the demise of the overall success of the plan. To be able to use their information for 60 days, and then decide to refund it almost seems like a poor business practice…but then I have been conditioned to expect being scammed and ripped off by weight loss programs and products.
Do I believer Forever Body Transformation is a scam? No…I do not because the organization that is rolling out the program is beyond reproach based upon their reputation. We may not know the reputation of Forever Body Transformation at this point…but we do know the rock solid reputation of ClickBank…and that is good enough for anyone that is afraid of being cheated, ripped or scammed!
Quitting Smoking, Losing Weight and Addictions
Are you overweight? Do you smoke? Did you used to smoke and stopped? Chances are you may fit into one of the statements just presented. If you ever tried to quit smoking you knew it was a habit and you had to quit because it was unhealthy. If you are a smoker you know it is unhealthy to smoke, yet there you sit…overweight and with a cigarette in your hand or in the ashtray next to you.
In fact, if you are a smoker and you are overweight then you know deep down that your risk of death and illness are compounded even more-so. If you are trying to quit smoking and are overweight at the same time the process can, and does often seem overwhelming to the point where you end up accomplishing nothing. Did you ever think that being overweight is addictive is almost the same way smoking is emotionally addictive?
If you are overweight then you must wake up and accept the concept that over eating can also be an addictive habit. Becoming obese is not always a medical condition and all avenues of valid medical reasoning should be explored. When you have come to the conclusion that you are overweight because you eat too much of the wrong thing, then you may want to approach the problem like an addicted cigarette smoker would. Maybe you need to realize that your over eating is because you are addicted to food.
I too also have a weight problem and I too used to be a smoker. I can remember being told that nicotine is only a craving for a few days and then it is all mental and emotional. After the first few days you no longer crave smokes, but you are in a familiar situation and it is a comfort. Over eating is very similar.
After eating you want a smoke. While watching late night T.V. you want some ice cream. When you get in your car you want a smoke. When you get in your recliner you want some snacks. When you go to the bathroom you want a smoke, when you go to the store you want a candy bar.
I am overweight and I have admitted I am fat. I know I am an emotional eater. I eat out of habit and I did this all too often. I have come to the conclusion that being my being fat is a direct result of putting too much food my mouth. PERIOD!!
I have come to grips that I am an addicted eater. I like the junk food. I like to eat snacks while watching T.V. I eat out of comfort. An example is just the other day. My “diet” was going well and then when I heard my chronically troubled twenty year old son was again having problems, I wanted to stop and get a chocolate shake. I eat because of triggers that affect my emotions. We all know that cigarette addiction is very much the same thing. We find ourselves looking for a smoke and often do not even give the act a second thought. Ever have two cigarettes burning at the same time?
I have not learned to control this trigger yet. I have just learned to recognize that it even exists.
Do you have a trigger that sets you off? We have no real answer or solutions here, but we just wanted to introduce the comparison of being addicted to smoking, and being addicted to eating. The root causes may be very similar.
Forever Body Transformation Initial Review
I review only a few weight loss programs and I refuse to discuss, or review many, many more. Since the calendar is getting ready to change to a new year, I was not surprised to hear about a new program called The Forever Body Transformation. I must admit that I ALWAYS approach new weight loss programs with a great deal of pessimism. I will also admit that when I started to listen to the sales pitch video, it was only playing in the background of my computer. It was not until I was a few minutes into the introductory video that I actually paying close attention to what was being said. I say this because the promises, and the offer, from Forever Body Transformation (FBT) seemed too good to be true, yet what was being said was nothing but potential truth.
I know a great deal about weight loss because of my personal history. I used to be overweight and struggled for years and years to be able to not only get rid of the weight, but with my ability to keep the weight off for life. I learned long ago that I could try virtually any diet, or weight loss plan and lose a decent amount of weight. The trouble is that I always seemed to be losing the same 20 pounds over and over again. I always tended to lose weight, but then gain it all back again. I was the classical example of being a yo-yo dieter.
As the introductory video of Forever Body Transformation played in the background my attention became much more focused when I started to hear all of the promises and strategy of the overall plan. When I say I was impressed by the promises of Forever Body Transformation claims I was most impressed by two simple factors.
- The Claims of Potential Weight Loss
What impressed me the most was that when Forever Body Transformation made claims about the weight loss that was to be expected…those claims were actually not absurd, or impossible to actually achieve. I say this because I have seen fad diets and diet pills come and go…because they have no basis in reality. When I first heard the claims of what the expected weight loss would be….I was amazed by the fact that they were not only realistic…they were actually achievable by anyone following a legitimate weight loss program. The claims of potential weight loss were not only based in actual realistic numbers, but were numbers that made sense. - The Return Policy is Not a Scam
I was doubly shocked (this is the point that really made me pay attention) by the return policy of the program. I can say this because I am not only a veteran weight loss guru (of sorts) but because I also have been writing about weight loss and dieting on numerous websites for over 7 years. The reason I was riveted by the return policy is because of my website background as I am also familiar with the managing company, of the weight loss program. The company that is managing the Forever Body Transformation Internet program is ClickBank and they are a leader in Internet marketing because of their no-nonsense return policy. (Click Here To Review ClickBank Return Policy) If a person wants their money back within 60 days of purchase…they get it back! No questions asked!!!!
I will go into a much greater review of the overall program, but at this point I know little about the program other than the two facts stated above may not seem like much to the casual reader, but to me those claims are huge! To the casual reader that does not understand the “ins-and-outs” of Internet marketing…the refund policy of this program made me sit up and turn of all of the other distractions that were running on my computer. I shut down the YouTube video, I closed out my email reading…and decided this program deserved much more of my attention.
I have decided that this program has made the cut of further review and deserves the rare incidence of me paying closer attention. This program has made some interesting statements and deserves a much closer look to see what it is all about. I say this because it seemed as if the creators are much more interested in helping a person lose weight through the creation of an information based community of sorts. When building an effective Internet community the weight loss program had better work…or the program will fall faster than a comet streaking across the night sky. I have made the decision to at least check out this program…and I am looking forward to checking it out.
This program is worth giving a second look because of their realistic claims that are backed up by their iron clad return policy.
Acne
Acne is the curse of a teenagers face. For most people the problems they had as a teenager with zits will disappear as they get older, but that is not always the case. There are large numbers of adults that suffer from acne, and this
There are several reasons why an adult can get acne. Adults can get acne from stress which is a huge problem in our society today. Hormonal problems and medications can also effect the skin causing acne.
The cause of acne is when the skin pore or a hair follicle becomes blocked. This blockage is caused by the skin cells that are exfoliated, but not completely removed from the skin. The skin then blocks the pores which then forms a plug that traps the sebum. This in turn leads to a build up of bacteria which results in the inflammation of the skin.
There are several fantastic products on the market that can help reduce the occurrence of acne in teenagers, and adults alike. The most common treatment is the use of retinoids that are derived from vitamin A.
Re tin-A is the most popular of these applications, and is a prescription medication. There are several “over the counter” products such as retinal
There are other products on the market that assist in clearing up blocked pores by infiltrating the sebaceous matter, and some of these products are used in better quality cleansers.
While you should not expect results overnight you can have healthier skin by using these cleansers on a regular basis. After a few weeks you should see a decrease in acne. Where by the use of these products should help you maintain a healthy and blemish free skin.
Dieting, Vacation and Life
You struggle so hard to be able to fit into those clothes and now you are besides yourself because you are afraid you are going to gain a ton of weight on those glorious few days of heaven, referred to as vacation. As the day of vacation bliss approaches you think to yourself that you may not be able to resist your chocolate nemesis or your double dessert desires. If this is how you feel then let us be the first to tell you that you are not alone. Sure there are a ton of articles out there that sound the trumpet of how to resist the deluge of calories and how you can come home as slim and trim as you are now. Well…..we have a different take on the entire process of vacation and we encourage you to take a vacation from “dieting” . The reason for this contrasting statement is because we do not even advocate you being on a diet in the first place.
All diets are doomed to fail because of two reasons. One is the start date and the other is the end date. If you decide to do on a diet you have set yourself up for failure because in order for a person to lose weight for life they need to skip the diet and learn how to live. If you start a diet and lose say 50 pounds by not eating any carbohydrates what happens now that you have lost all the weight? If you count every calorie you eat are you ready to measure and count your calories for the rest of your life? If you are trying to lose weight the best way to make it happen is by changing your life style to include more activity and by eating better food choices. This change of life style is something that needs to transcend a vacation. If you travel to France and desire to eat a pastry that choice will not ruin your weight goals because once your travels are over you will land right back into your everyday life and that life includes better and healthier food choices.
If you have the lifestyle now that is truly geared at being healthy and losing weight then your food choices for a week or two will not destroy the goals you have put into place for the rest of your life. If you love Mom’s pot roast then why not indulge in that second helping while on that visit. Who knows how long Mom will be around for you to enjoy another first helping? The point is that if you are really serious about losing weight then the best way to make that happen is to be intent on obtaining true health.

Colorescience Cosmetics Review: Eye Candy Trio Kit
The first time we saw the Colorescience Eye Candy Trio Kit we were amazed at just how effective the product can be. We watched the video below and then when we saw it done in person, on an older middled aged woman, we were even more impressed with the quality of the product. It was amazing to see just how effective the cosmetic technology can be when applied correctly. Eye Candy Trio uses three brilliant products to visibly transform the look of the eye area.
Eye Candy Trio conceals and camouflages imperfections around the eye such as dark circles and puffiness while hydrating and tightening to minimize fine lines in three easy steps. The video below shows just how easy it is to apply this stuff and how effective it can be for a person trying to cover up some imperfections in a person’s face and eye area. The way to apply it is to start by applying My Favorite Eyes Cream to the inner corner of the eye near the tear duct, where the shadows are darkest with three to four dots to each eye, this should be adequate coverage. The beta-carotene provides a yellow tone that softens the look of dark circles while vitamin K addresses their long-term effects. The next step is to apply Crystalescience Eye Serum Shrinking Violet. Put one to three dots of Shrinking Violet under the center of the eye. This reflective serum boosts the activities of the other products while tightening and firming the eye tissue. Finally, apply Eyes Wide Open to help brighten and moisturize. Apply five to seven drops of Eyes Wide Open along the orbital bone and around the brow. Eyes Wide Open contains Azulene, a chamomile extract, and has a cooling effect that helps reduce puffiness. The baby blue tone provides a visible lifting effect. Finish by thoroughly patting all three products into the skin. With Eye Candy Trio, you can achieve an eye-lift in just 60 seconds.
The end result of using this amazing technology is one that not only impressed us but has impressed us much more than anything we have ever seen in any store or cosmetic show. Overall we give a great thumbs up review for the quality and the value of this product. We recommend it to anyone that has a need to give themselves a mini sixty second face-lift.

I Ordred The Quantum Scale
I ordered my Quantum Scale today and I will tell you right now that I spent a few days approaching this order because I wanted to explore all of the options available to me, and how the customer service department of Quantum Scale reacted to my requests for assistance. Since this is a 100% honest review of how the scale works, I will tell you that I am somewhat disappointed with the lack of response I received from all inquires to Quantum Scale. At this point I am not discounting the effectiveness of Quantum Scale, I am just saying I am not that impressed with their website, nor the customer service.
I write this because it never fails to dumbfounded me that a company is created, like Quantum Scale, and they offer a viable product and after all of the hype…they fall flat in the area of customer service. Since this is a review of Quantum Scale that ranges from the moment of order, to the effectiveness of the product, I will start with my impressions of their website. As with all of my reviews, I started it off with a phone call to gauge response time. I find it sad to report that they did not answer the phone, they do not answer the phone and I really believe they have no intention of ever answering their phone. Each and every time the phone number is called I received a recorded message saying they were receiving so many calls they could not answer and I could leave a message, or just contact them via their website.
After having called them at least 15 times, at all hours of the day and night, I decided to send them an email, as suggested. I sent them an email and I never received a reply. For the life of me I am dismayed that an organization would be built, and then falls flat on their face, in the area of no-customer service. To make a long story short, I tried numerous times to speak with a live-person, expecting someone from some far-flung call center to ask about the discount code I could not locate, to get my $10.00 off the listed price. I searched the web for a Quantum Scale discount coupon and found nothing. After almost one week of calling, emailing and searching, and simply trying to make an evaluation of the available customer service of Quantum Scale…I gave up and simply sucked up the additional ten-buck expense and decided to pay the additional ten-bucks for the scale.
When I finally decided to push the button I resigned myself to the fact that it would have to be done through my efforts, since the call center is obviously nothing more than a recording machine that contracts out to have someone call you at a later date to take your credit card information, and place your order. Do not expect to call Quantum Scale customer service and have someone answer the phone. Once I confirmed to myself that there really was no call service, I decided to place my order so I clicked into their website. When I did this I soon realized that even the layout of the site leaves much to be desired. I felt as if I was chasing all over to simply place the order.
Not really a downfall, I was somewhat surprised to learn that Quantum Scale ONLY accepts PayPal as a form of payment, through their website. For me, this was not a bad thing because I already had an account, but I know for some people they will not want to go through the hassle of creating a PayPal account, if they do not have a PayPay account. I personally like PayPay because it really does keep my credit card information safe. Since there is no additional fee to use PayPal, I do not mind using it at all, and I actually feel more secure in using it when shopping on the web. Since the website ONLY accepts PayPal, it leads to the next shortfall of the website, which is finding where to actually click to place the order.
When you see the website you will find the photograph to the left, that teases you with a photo of a group of different colored Quantum Scales. You would think that this was where you would click to enter the order page, but sadly enough…it does not. When you are on the Quantum page you can click on what looks like a link to order, but in reality, you will do little more than chase your tail all over the website and get no closer to actually placing an order. I know this is a limit of PayPal, since I have set up a few websites that accept PayPal as a form of payment.
Since I know the limits of setting up a PayPal order form, I knew enough to search around the website for the little shopping cart icon that is the ONLY way to get to the order page for the Quantum Scale. I do not think this is a negative aspect of the scale itself, I just feel as if their website was poorly designed and it is limited in this aspect because of the limitations imposed upon their webmaster, because of the limitations PayPal has set forth in their design availability.
If you are looking to order a Quantum Scale and find yourself “stuck” on where on the page to click, it may take you awhile to realize that the only place on the entire website is within a large rectangular “box” that contains an icon that has a shopping cart with the words “add to cart.” I have added a screenshot to the right to help you define this area, if you are having difficulty locating it for yourself. Once you are on the Quantum Scale website the only place you can click to order their product is by the link in the screenshot shown. I have even added a red text overlay with a brown arrow, to point the way.
Even with all of the above described grief I took the plunge and did pay the full asking price, with the shipping costs. Although I am not thrilled with the shopping experience of Quantum Scale, I will not describe their product in ANY way negative, as of yet. I say that because I am interested in using it as a weight loss tool. I still think the concept is a good one, when applied to a person that is frustrated with the weight loss and their bathroom scale.
I will still reserve my opinion of the Quantum Scale because the issues mentioned with the customer service of Quantum Scale could simply be growing pains for the company. The issues of, what I consider to be poor website design, could simply be because they are not yet at the point to pay for a masterfully designed site because they do not come cheap. It is my hope that this product works well and that many people purchase one to help them actually get past the emotional hangups dieters have with their bathroom scale.
All too often dieters jump on their scale every single day, and when it does not budge…they get frustrated and give up. Since I am a weight Loss Health Coach, (Visit My Website) I am very well versed in dealing with people who get frustrated with their scale…and give up. It is my hope that this scale does what it says it will do to help people realize the bathroom scale is just one indicator of weight loss. (Great Article About Why The Bathroom Scale Won’t Go Down?)
In closing I just want to say that I was not thrilled with the ordering experience, especially with the misleading voice mail message that ALWAYS says they are TOO busy to answer the phone, because I have come to realize it is a non-truth because they NEVER answer the phone. All consumers are not stupid, or naive, and if they want to move their organization to the next level of sales, they will need to obtain, and maintain, a reputable name for themselves out here. If they do not, they will simply become another scam-weight loss “toy” that only benefits those that are selling it to the masses. This seems like it will be a decent product, and that is why I ordered it for myself.
It is my intention to write follow-on reviews and evaluate their product and see just how it works. On their website, I see that the founder is Susan Taylor and if she ever reads this I simply suggest a stream-lined ordering flow on the website, and if you are going to provide a phone number for people to call…then answer the phone!
Other than that….I am now awaiting the arrival of my Quantum Scale and if you come back soon, there will be many more reviews.
