The Weight Won't Go Anywhere Now.

I started my quest for weight loss in April of this year, of course, and I've really hit the wall. For the past couple of months I can't get away from one weight , no matter what I eat. I'm even feeling awkward when I cheat because it makes no impact. I know fat has a memory and when you force weight loss in a hurry you will almost invariably always return to your base weight, the one still in fat memory. The secret, if you can call common sense a secret (well, maybe you can), is to establish a 'new' base fat memory. This thinking has brought me to another conclusion. Once my new base has been set I need to jump start to my new lower base number, which I'll probably do with a weight loss supplement of my choosing. I just have to watch out for the herbal items as they can interfere with blood pressure meds, not to mention several others. My honest opinion to anyone contemplating this course is to make a list of your medications and go to your pharmacist and ask if there are any interactions between your Rx and the herbals in the supplements your interested in taking. Better safe than very sorry. I'd rather be overweight with normal blood pressure than skinny with a stroke, or worse. Pharmacists are your best information resource because that's what they do and what their trained to do!
