30 mg Ionamin capsules

Currently, you cannot buy Ionamin online legally.

Ionamin, generic name Phentermine, is a diet medication available by prescription.

To get Ionamin, ask your doctor to prescribe the generic Phentermine, rather than the name brand.

This is one of the few amphetamine type substances (chemically and pharmacologically related to amphetamines) available for prescription in Malaysia. Ionamin is the only phentermine resin complex available (no generics) and it’s a “diet drug” (appetite suppressant/metabolic booster). It is only indicated for the short term treatment of obesity, and unless I’m prepared to eat 10 whole chickens and chug 3 liters of cooking oil a day for a week, my Body Mass Index (BMI) does not qualify me to obtain a prescription from a doctor legitimately. I don’t think I’ll enjoy chugging 1 liter of cooking oil, much less 3 liters.

However, I do have a friend who has a pharmacy.

Jump to the Ionamin (phentermine resin) report if you’re not interested in the pointers for fellow Malaysians interested in doctor shopping or pharmacy runs (otherwise known as prescription fraud and obtaining/possession of a controlled drug). *cough*

Malaysia does not have prescribed methamphetamine or dextroamphetamine for treatment of narcolepsy or ADHD/ADD. The word amphetamine in any chemical probably causes the Malaysian government to get their panties all in an uncomfortable twist. Heh, check it out if you don’t believe me:

It’s the Malaysian scripter’s best friend. Ritalin which is Methylphenidate hydrochloride (Look ma, no “-amphetamine”!) is available though. I’m surprised to find oxycodone (Oxycontin) available as well! It wasn’t the last time I checked. Anyway, the link was posted ages ago on this very site too. It’s easy to type in the generic name of any potentially recreational pharmaceutical and see if it’s in the database. They show ALL the available products of the drug you typed in (product names, dosage forms it comes in etc).

Example with phentermine:

The registration number is clickable to show more information eg all the substances contained in the preparation and they’re adding in the packaging (quantity) and prices slowly eg “10 x 10 blister pack – RM 34.60″. This really helps when you’re doing pharmacy runs/doctor shopping. Not all pharmacists here are familiar with every generic name, so before they browse their outdated book, say something like “It’s lorazepam, it comes in a pack that says Ativan and has 10 tablets, but I’ve had another pharmacy give me something from this big bottle called APO-LORAZEPAM, he said it’s the same thing”.

Say thank you if you aren’t aware of the Ministry of Health (Malaysia)’s Drug Control Authority product database and its uses for unscrupulous scripters.

Oops…sorry that’s not harm reduction at all, moving back to my experience report. :p

Ionamin (Phentermine resin)

Retail price: RM 2 (A$ 1) for 30 mg capsule. I can’t believe the online pharmacy prices! Obscene!

Experience #1
The first time is always the best

Substance: Ionamin (Phentermine resin complex)

Dose: Ionamin 150 mg total
Ionamin 90 mg (3 x 30 mg capsules) at T+ 0:00
Ionamin 30 mg (1 x 30 mg capsule) booster at T+ 1:00
Ionamin 30 mg (1 x 30 mg) booster at T+ 1:30

Route: Oral

I took 3 capsules of Ionamin (without attempting to foil the time release) right after I woke up and chased it down with a bottle of water. I had an empty stomach (last meal was a good 18 hours before) and I felt stimulated about 30-40 minutes after that and felt “speeded up” like on amphetamines. It was looking promising, so I put on some gabba (gotta love hard music on stimulants) and wrote a post, the one below which mentions that I’m tweaked.

Contents of the 30 mg Ionamin capsule

I felt quite good at this time, so I opened up a capsule to examine its contents. I noticed that half the capsule is filled with white powdery stuff and half of it was some kind of beady black spheres. The white powder had no taste to it and I think the spheres are the phentermine resin. I don’t know what the white powder is, I don’t think it’s filler/binder/some inactive agent since it’s a capsule. I would guess that it’s some kind of GI tract pharmaceutical to decrease absorption? That’s a guess though, does anyone know for sure?

Anyway, I crunched up everything (including the capsule) an hour after the first dose as a booster. I worked it with my teeth real good to try and see if that would break the time release, but I’ve read somewhere that Ionamin isn’t really “time release” in the traditional sense. Could the mysterious white powder have something to do with it? Anyway, the black spheres are quite hard to crush! I had to really work on it before it powdered, your dentist would not like this.

It’s quite compulsive, I felt the urge to crunch up more capsules when I reached that certain state of tweak bliss. However, I have to state that I’m very fond of stimulants so take that as you will. I took another booster 30 minutes later (1 hours and 30 minutes after my initial dose) and that put me in a nice tweak zone for most of the day. I’m really surprised at the duration of this, unlike the short, steep peak – medium length plateau – steep return to baseline of (meth)amphetamines, phentermine resin has a longer peak – very long plateau and a VERY steep return to baseline.

Methamphetamines

My apologies for the crude diagram. This is an observation from personal experience, not scientific data. x and y refers to the axis, which I didn’t draw. Start and stop points are baseline (normal).

The intensity wasn’t as good as (meth)amphetamines, but it does rival methcathinone’s intensity. Oh, you really have to drink A LOT of water, like the manufacturer says. I had an extreme thirst the whole time and heaps of water, but it came out too (no problems with urination) so that’s cool. When I’m on meth, I find myself stuck doing something for a long time (intense concentration) and nothing can pull me away from it. It was the same with Ionamin so I think this could be a good study drug as well, but the mental clarity is inferior to (meth)amphetamines and feels more like the scattered caffeine state of mind towards the end.

Well, I went out for a long walk and felt a good body buzz but rather disturbing cardiovascular manifestations. It has been 4-5 hours since the first dose and I was still feeling great. I didn’t eat anything, the appetite suppressant effect of phentermine is equivalent to that of meth, food was the last thing on my mind. I went for a night out with friends and came down (crashed would be a better word) about 8 or 9 hours since the initial dose right before going out. Certain GABA agonists were necessary to reduce the comedown effects, and to maintain a level of acceptable sociability. The above GABA agonist worked very well in smoothing the comedown. Shh, it’s obvious to fellow recreational drug users, but please don’t state it out loud it, since I’m being obscure intentionally. Much later in the night, I took 2 mg alprazolam (Xanax) and was asleep in seconds, but that was probably due to the abovementioned GABA agonist. No “hangover” effects were noticed on the second day, even with just 6 hours of sleep.

Experience #2
Giving methcathinone a good run for its money

Substance: Ionamin (Phentermine resin complex)

Dose: 240 mg total
150 mg (5 x 30 mg capsules) at T+ 0:00
60 mg (2 x 30 mg) booster at T+ 1:05
30 mg (1 x 30 mg) booster T+ 4:35

Other possible interactions:
27 mg bromazepam (Lexotan) at T- 14:00
5 mg alprazolam (Xanax) at T- 10:00
3 mg alprazolam (Xanax) at T- 09:00
Note: The subject is a long time user of benzodiazepines, has high tolerance and suspected constant plasma levels of unknown quantity.

Route: Oral and “intranasal”

Haha! That intranasal thing shouldn’t even be mentioned. Basically, I opened a capsule to display its contents on a clean surface and while licking the contents, I accidentally breathed in some. Accidental insufflation. Anyway, I crunched up 5 capsules of Ionamin in the afternoon on an empty stomach (12 hours since last meal). I’m starting to like that salty tang, I find that it’s nice to chew for a long time, getting the little hard black balls between your molars and grinding, grinding, grinding till you can feel the brittle powdery texture. I don’t know if that actually breaks the time release though, but I like to have some of it down with the time release intact for a longer plateau.

I felt sleepy (!!!) about 5 minutes later and went to take a nap, hoping my “dexamphetamine trick” aka The Dexamphetamine Alarm Clock will work with Ionamin. Well, the dexamphetamine trick is for the occasions when you HAVE to wake up but you’re too sleepy from the previous night’s benzo consumption (or lack of sleep). Anyway, the trick is to reach for the dexamphetamine bottle when your alarm clock goes off and gobble a few of them before going back to sleep. Hehe! In 15-20 minutes (for me), I’ll suddenly bolt upright and feel ENERGIZED and ready to take on the day!

Well, I woke up an hour or so later feeling slightly stimulated and yet slightly sedated. I had a lot of benzodiazepines last night, so that could be the problem. I took a 60 mg booster dose upon waking up and felt tweaked (similar feeling to amphetamines), and the urge to consume more. I wanted to take another capsule after a while, but I was having shortness of breath, chest pains and my toe nails were turning a disturbing shade of black. I have existing hypertension, so I decided not to push it and live to tweak another day. I think I’ve lost my significant amphetamine tolerance, which is a Good Thing, my wallet is extending its gratitude every day. Heh.

I’m still feeling good now, still at the plateau, but personally I noticed that with every crunched up capsule comes another peak and another peak and plateau rather similar to the first, so that was why I wanted to take another, but I’m not going to. Pupil dilation does occur at high doses, personally, it’s not the saucers I get while on MDMA, but the dilation is quite similar to (meth)amphetamine at recreational doses. I just checked and I have a fever. No, not using my cold, clammy hands, with a thermometer. Nope, I’m not going to have anymore today.

I’m still feeling good by the way. Also, there isn’t any paranoia present but then again that usually only happens on long meth runs, and I don’t like the idea of going for a phentermine run with this heavy body load. I hear the LD50 is 20 mg/kg and I do not want to approach that, with my hypertension. I’m having breathing difficulties now, that is the thing that’s bothering me more than anything, but I’m okay.

Anyway, I mentioned before that I don’t fully defeat the timed released capsules, I allow some of the spheres to go un-harassed by my molars, so I’m still up. Oh, if you haven’t figured out by now, this is a running experience report aka “living document”, I write a bit, go out or do other stuff and then come back and update and I post it after it’s complete. I also took another capsule just now. Anyway, after the health issues of the past few hours subsided, I decided to take another 30 mg Ionamin capsule to establish the dose-response curve.

Well, in all seriousness, I was curious to see if tolerance develops quickly on this substance since it’s new to me, so I didn’t just take another one to keep me awake. Booster doses (re-dosing) seems to be more effective than (meth)amphetamines in terms of efficacy. Of course, phentermine does cause tolerance, but qualitatively, a small booster dose will bring me to a plateau again, but a lower one, of course. A disturbing pain is evident in my right eye, but whether that is related to this is unknown. Sleep is still far away, benzodiazepines are definitely necessary for sleep tonight, since I will not be going out. I might comedown anytime and the harsh body load is still very noticeable, so I would prefer to remain sedentary for most of the night. Ionamin lasts a long time too, and I have developed a scary tolerance to benzodiazepines after constant recreational use, but I am doing something about it, so I’m okay.

That said, I still love benzodiazepines though, and I hope to try every single one in that happy, large family. =D I have to time it well though, because the Ashton taper plan is not forgiving. The mantra seems to be “always go down (lower the dose), go sideways (take the same dose) if you must, but never go up (take a higher dose)”. Well, I don’t have that big of a problem, so seriously, forget I brought it up, I’m perfectly fine. I will still do reviews of benzos (see above about happy family), but for recreational use, I’m going to cut down to the point where I don’t take them every day, maybe just weekends or something. That is a personal decision, coz a benzodiazepine problem is not the best thing in the world to have.

I digress, back to Ionamin, there is something quite interesting (disturbing?) about it. It happened during the first time, but I wrote that off as an isolated incident, but it happened again today. The first time it happened was in the shower after my first phentermine experience. I took a piss and during that final muscle squeeze to get the last bit out, semen came out. Wtf? I wasn’t sexually aroused at any point so that was indeed puzzling, but I thought it was just a manifestation of that feeling you get when you take dexamphetamine and potentiate it with baking soda ie the feeling that no matter how hard you strain, you still can’t get that last bit of urine out, it’s just stuck there. This happens on phentermine for me too.

Well, I took a piss late into the second trip and something which looks suspiciously like pre-cum came out, again during the final squeeze. My understanding of the male anatomy says that ejaculation and urination cannot happen at the same time, due to an “either or” valve somewhere along the piping. Very puzzling, especially since there was no erection or sexual arousal at any point. Well, my penis is perfectly fine, thank you very much. :p I was just wondering if anyone had the same experience.

Well, my first two experiences with Ionamin (Phentermine resin) suggests that it certainly is fun. I would try the hydrochloride salt next time to compare against the resin complex. I find it to be quite recreational, but it’s not something I would take frequently due to the heavy body load. Right now, I’m having very disturbing manifestations of hypertension. Here’s an interesting tidbit about Ionamin:

Blood levels obtained with the 15 mg and 30 mg resin complex formulations indicated slower absorption with a reduced but prolonged peak concentration and without a significant difference in prolongation of blood levels when compared with the same doses of phentermine hydrochloride.

I haven’t tried phentermine hydrochloride, but yeah, even before I even read this I already noticed that phentermine resin’s plateau was unexpectedly long!

Ionamin Thoughts:
It’s strangely dehydrating, you really need to drink a lot of water! It’s unlike meth/speed, where you know you’re thirsty but you don’t care coz the current thing you’re doing is more important. With phentermine, you know you’re thirsty and the thirst is bad so you reach for the water bottle. I drank an obscene amount of water during both experiences! Be careful and monitor your water intake.

It’s a good cheap and dirty amphetamine substitute. After a certain (high) dose threshold, amphetamine type effects predominate – full body buzz, slight arousal and sensitivity in the genitalia, head rush when urinating, excessive talking and writing (just look at the length of this post!) and of course EUPHORIA! Mental stimulation is also present, thought processes remain quite clear (unlike caffeine), though not as clear as meth(amphetamines).

Phentermine resin seems to have a heavy body load. My heart felt like it was going to fail anytime from the fast heartbeats and the elevated body temperature raises concern about possible brain damage. I also felt out of breath on higher doses and the comedown is quite harsh and remarkably similar to (meth)amphetamines – tiredness, slight depression, muscle aches etc etc. However, qualitatively, the comedown effect of a single day’s use is equivalent the comedown of a 3 day meth run! It’s quite unacceptable, considering the heavy body load and lower intensity.

The dose-response curve seems to be less steep than other amphetamines. Re-dosing at a low level (30 mg) at the tail end of the run seems to produce effects, which though inference and extrapolation seems less pronounced than what a 30 mg dose would provide without tolerance, but it is keeping me awake and slightly stimulated. Phentermine does produce tolerance as the literature states, but surprisingly, it doesn’t seem to develop as fast as (meth)amphetamines, so re-dosing (booster doses) does work, though of course, at a decreased rate. However I have to re-iterate that I don’t think it’s a very good idea to go on long phentermine runs, considering the body load.

My personal (based on the things I’ve had experience with) stimulant potency hierarchy:

(in decreasing order of qualitatively perceived strength)

Methamphetamine (meth, shabu, ping)
My favorite drug, I use it very frequently in Melbourne – and the only drug I’ve IV (injected with a syringe through a vein). New readers can read my experiences here:
Methamphetamine IV Part I: Intravenous injection
Methamphetamine IV Part II: Hitting the vein, synergies and the comedown [sixthseal.com]
or just browse the Sticky Posts at the right (under Recent Comments and above Archives) since they’re all best of the best posts on sixthseal.com or so I like to think :p

Dexamphetamine (d-amphetamine – speed, just the stronger non-racemic kind)
The potent dextro isomer of amphetamine. Amphetamine = speed, and this only has the dextro isomer, which is good since the levo isomer isn’t recreational. I love this too, a bottle (500 mg or 1/2 a gram) of pure amphetamines can disappear in two or three days.

Amphetamine (speed)
The racemic mixture (contains both d-amphetamine and l-amphetamine), so it’s a step down the ladder since l-amphetamine is not as recreational (doesn’t get you high) as d-amphetamine.

Methcathinone
It makes me sad during the comedown, but it’s an okay stimulant. I’ll write a post (not everything, just my experiences with the stuff, and ONLY that) when technical problems resolves itself.

Phentermine (resin)
Hi!

Pseudoephedrine
Oh, my poor overworked heart.

Caffeine
Well, if you have nothing else…

Again, I reiterate that this stimulant potency hierarchy is based on personal experiences and YMMV.

Caution: Taking more than 100 mg of phentermine may be dangerous.

1. Speed. Avoid any kind of program or diet that either promises rapid weight loss or makes you lose weight too fast. This is a definite warning sign. The longer it takes you to get the weight off the longer you will keep it off, period. The idea of losing weight fast might be tempting and can be done but why take the chance? Why risk something you don’t need to? Usually losing weight too quickly means starving yourself and when it’s over you will start to eat more again to compensate. Your body will be craving food and you’ll have to give in.

2. Monitor. When you first lose the weight and especially if you are inexperienced you need to frequently monitor your weight before it is too late. Once you get used to your habits a little more and experiment you will be able to go longer periods of time between weigh-ins. The key here is to catch the weight before it becomes noticeable to you and to others. When the scale says you’re over by two pounds it won’t show, you still have time. If the scale says you’re over by seven…chances are you waited too long and by this point you will see it.

3. Don’t push it too far. Sure you can eat more and for longer periods of time once you are thin but don’t get carried away! You could even binge for a week if your metabolism is cranked enough but watch one week doesn’tbecome two and so on. The thing with food is that’s it’s very addicting. It doesn’t take long if you are not careful to get back fully into your old habits. Save your bingeing for when you really need it like the Christmas holidays or vacations!

4. Boredom or depression. Sometimes you can just say ‘you’ve had it’ because you’re tired of constantly thinking of the timing of meals and when to exercise etc. This is very understandable. In this case you want to just drop everything. Take a week or two off and do things you like. Read, watch movies, or anything to get your mind off of it all. Before you know it, you will miss these things and be craving to get back into the swing of things like your exercise or making a delicious chocolate shake. Whatever your routine is. If you keep these steps in mind after you have lost the weight it will become very difficult to put it back on. Don’t get stuck in a rut. You’ll be where you want to be and looking the way you want. The world is yours!

Climb the next mountain and tackle the next barrier in your life! Good luck!

Key points
- Avoid losing weight too fast, you will be starving your body of vital
nutrients
- Implement frequent weigh-ins at first to avoid noticeable weight
gains
- You can eat more after it is off but watch you don’t take it too far
- If you grow tired of everything just drop it all and take a week or
two off
- Stay focussed and aware of what you are doing

What they fail to mention is that often the models are tanned, pulling in their stomachs more than they were at first, and have their wardrobes slightly adjusted. That’s what gives them that ‘polished’ look. Even if these things were not done there would be noticeable results I’m sure. My point? It is possible!

Then you often have the crash diet pictures where the models are often clothed. While harder to tell, it is probable that most of these people have
tried to lose the weight without any kind of physical activity whatsoever. If you could see them unclothed they generally would look like a smaller version of what they were before.
Most of the cases that I just mentioned in the second example are the ones who are more likely to put the weight back on than the ones who exercise. The more you put into it the more you get out of it. The less you change your lifestyle, the less you get out of it…

While I’m not saying you’ll always have to exercise as much or even at all, it will help tremendously when starting out. What you want is the fastest, safest changes you can manage so you can get on enjoying life! Not too fast though, as with your eating program you want to be comfortable and enjoying what you’re doing. First you want to get into some kind of cardiovascular activity. This will
help the greatest in burning fat.

Here’s a sample beginner program that you can try:

Week 1

Day 1- walking-20 minutes
Day 3- walking-25 minutes
Day 5- walking-20 minutes

Week 2

Day 1- walking-25 minutes
Day 3- walking-20 minutes
Day 5- walking-25 minutes and so on…

Keep this up until you are satisfied with yourself and/or your time

constraints. You don’t have to necessarily walk either. If you have or prefer a stationary bike for example you could use that. Second, yu need some type of resistance training. This will help you burn more calories at rest and will also help to shape your body so that you will create the illusion of a slimmer person by widening your shoulders and your outer thighs. This will help make your waist appear smaller.

Again, here is a sample program:

Monday

• Pushups, as many as you can for 3 sets. Side laterals, 3 sets of 15 repetitions

Wednesday

• Lunges, 15-20 for 3 sets. Rowing, 3 sets of 15 repetitions

Friday

• Bicep Curls and Tricep Presses, 3 Sets of 15 repetitions

You can do abdominal crunches as well after each workout. Try three sets of 20-25 but do not use any resistance. You don’t want your waist any thicker! Incase you don’t know, a repetition or rep for short is one performance of an exercise and a set is a group of repetitions. You can rest a minute or so between sets, usually when your breathing returns to normal. To warm up before your exercises just stretch whatever muscle groups you are working and/or do some light cardiovascular activity for 5 minutes. This will get your blood flowing and your muscles warm. Since you are not training heavy or for really big muscles there is less risk of injury. Any kind of resistance will do. You can use free weights, machines, soup cans, or rubber bands. Whatever is available to you and most convenient. Remember that pretty well anything will work if you use it! There! Doing this program will ensure you greater success than if you didn’t exercise at all. Since I mentioned some of the benefits elsewhere in the book

I won’t go through them again.

More Encouragement

What? It’s dinnertime? Hmmm, try a grilled chicken sandwich or maybe a few extra lean hamburgers. Remember, just watch what you put on these things! That’s what will get you in the end…literally!

Studies show that it takes around 21 days to develop a habit. Before that happens I’m sure you’ll find these things relatively enjoyable if you stay focussed and not stray too far away. I know you will look the same tomorrow (and even the next day) but remember it’s not what you do in one day that makes the difference but what you do over and over again. Losing weigt is based upon the same time principles as gaining weight. It takes time, even though one might be easier than the other might. Accidents happen, we’re all human. The point is to just get back on your bike and keep riding! And in 21 days you will notice a difference, whether on the scale or in the mirror! When you are on a maintenance program you won’t have to do a fraction of what you are doing now. Keep that in mind to look forward to!

A treat is just that, a treat. Therefore you should treat it as a treat…am I confusing you? Hold on. A treat is great as long as it’s planned. That’s the key word friend. If it’s planned smartly, then it’s not cheating, but treating. Cheating is where it is not planned. If hunger gets the best of you for example, or someone offers you something sweet to eat and you just don’t
have the tact or the will to refuse it. Cheating is also characterized by a feeling of guilt afterwards.

Are there any reasons for treating? You bet! The first reason being it keeps you from uncontrolled bingeing. If you go too long without the real foods you like, no matter how strong your will power is you will eventually break.

And that’s not the best thing for your head.

Second, it helps to keep your metabolism up. Let me explain. If you keep eating the same amount of restricted calories day in and day out your body will become used to it therefore regulating itself. But if you introduce a higher amount of calories, say once a week, your body will then be given a higher number to work with and the end result will be an increased metabolic rate. The body will think, “Whoa, what’s going on here! I better shape up!”

How do you regulate this? Just pick one day in seven like a Saturday and just eat normal foods while not counting calories. Also, throw in some junk foods for good measure. As mentioned above this will cure those cravings! Thirdly, this is great if you know you have to go to a social or something like a wedding where food will constantly be around you. You won’t have to worry for that day and you also won’t have to worry about blowing your diet.
Many times people get discouraged because they feel ‘forced’ to cheat due to the pressure and they also don’t want to come across as rude. This is true, a lot of people don’t understand what you’re going through but this little tidbit of information will fix the problem.

Once a person gets stuck in this rut it is very hard for some to get out. They often think that because they let this happen that they will never achieve their goals. Well, this isn’t the case! They also feel depressed because they feel they have lost their direction and they have to start over. “Well, back to the old drawing board!” But! If you know something like your treat day is logically planned and has scientific backing to it you will not feel guilty but good! You will also feel good knowing that you didn’t cheat and that you deserve it! And once you start losing the weight, people might wonder how you do it! With a bit of common sense you can work with this idea. If your junk day is on Friday for example and you have that party on Saturday just improvise!
Switch your days and be flexible. Remember that with fitness, nothing is written in stone.

Scheduled Rests

This is a very important concept. Don’t mistake burnout or a lack of enthusiasm for failure. Watch for the warning signs and keep ahead of things. That’s why I prefer to ease into a program. If not you’ll be like a hunting dog that has never slept all night. Your master will call you in the morning and you’ll run with unsurpassable joy and then 5 minutes later you’re down for the count. Saw that in a cartoon once O Some good warning signs to look out for are constant fatigue (higher than normal) and wanting to give up totally on your dream. To the point where your goals don’t mean anything to you anymore. Don’t wait until that point.

Take a complete and total break from your program as mentioned once every 7 days on a smaller scale and possibly once every 6 weeks if you feel you need it on a larger scale.

Key points
- Treats are planned while cheating is not
- Treating keeps you from uncontrolled bingeing and will cure
cravings
- Treating helps to increase your metabolism therefore burning
calories at a faster rate
- With treating you never have to worry about being forced into
unwanted cheating
- Using these techniques you can be flexible and guilt free

A lot of people quit dieting because they think they have to partake in things like rice cakes and broccoli! This is simply not the case! Never mind quit, some won’t even start a weight loss program because of this. They are discouraged…

Another reason is that people become discouraged because they become hungry. While it is realistic to become moderately hungry you don’t want to be starving. You are not a robot but a human being. Don’t torture yourself. No one continues to do anything they don’t like. The few that do are often miserable. Below are some steps you can study and follow to get your eating habits together.

• Eat the foods you like. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not talking about hot dogs and chocolate cake. At least not all the time. But just eat what you usually do on a regular basis, you know things like sandwiches for example while decreasing your portions a little.

• Eat enough. Most people are in a hurry to lose weight too quickly. If they don’t see 6 pounds come off in the first week they start panicking. Don’t! Remember that most people who are overweight eat for other reasons. Habit, boredom, depression, control etc. Only eat when you are hungry. Ask yourself this question, it is important. When you feel that you have had enough to hold out until another meal just stop. Drink a few glasses of water and 20 minutes later you won’t even think about it for awhile until you are naturally hungry again.

• Stick to how many meals you would normally eat. At first you want to try and mimic your old habits as close as possible. This way it won’t be so much of a shock. If you eat 2 meals, eat two meals. To keep your metabolism running better just introduce 1 or 2 meal replacements like a homemade shake or food supplements making sure they are over 200 calories each.

• Take in the smallest quantity before bed. For example, eat your regular meals first and take your supplemental meals at night. You’d be surprised how well this will work. You don’t want to have to burn as many calories while you are sleeping because obviously you aren’t as active. This is an area where a lot of people fail, especially with carbohydrates. I hope you find these ideas practical and easy to apply. The main point I want to stress is that you should feel as comfortable and as happy as possible while going through this initial phase. The next step after losing the weight
is maintaining it, which is no where near as difficult. Once you have laid down a foundation and you get used to the minor adjustments in your lifestyle it should be a piece of cake! Excuse the pun O

Food Preparation

As we discussed in the first chapter, today will be a transitional day for you in terms of the program. It’s never wise to jump into things too fast. You have to give yourself a chance to look around and take everything in. Many battles have been lost for that reason alone. Remember that you are the one in control, not your body! Tomorrow, you should construct a grocery list. While I don’t know which foods you like and which ones you don’t I can make a broader list myself for you to choose from! Below you will find the best food choices for a successful weight loss program divided into 2 sections, proteins andcarbohydrates:

Proteins

• Chicken Breast, Turkey, Tuna, Skim Milk, Eggs (or egg white substitutes, mostly for the whites), Lean Beef

Carbohydrates

• Rice, Oatmeal, Whole Wheat Bread, Pasta

Hey! Where’s the fats section? Well, while fat is essential a person will never have a problem taking it in, fat is everywhere! If you don’t think so look around! While the above is a basic guideline it is not written in stone. There are other types of fish that are just as good for example. The main thing I want to stress is to keep the fat low with the meat and the refinement to a minimal with the carbs (things such as white bread and pastries). Now while this might seem bland at first be creative! Natural seasonings such as onions and pepper or things such as soy sauce can go a long way in helping you out. Combine foods, make dishes, throw some veggies in, make stir fries…you get the picture.

Next we will deal with frequency and quantity, two ‘very’ important parts of any weight loss plan. Try to get in at least 4 smaller meals each day. This will speed up your metabolism as it prevents your body from thinking that you are starving it. As far as quantity, multiply your morning bodyweight in pounds by 10. This will give you an accurate figure. If you need a calorie counter visit the “Free Tools” section of our web site for a free calorie counter. Try and portion your meals in a balanced fashion as well. Don’t just have all protein or all carbohydrates. Each serves its purpose in its own way.

Protein is used to maintain muscle mass and carbs are used for energy. At this stage of the game you definitely want them both!

Goal Planning

Two people are in Toronto, Canada and want to travel by car to Florida, USA. Both have never made the trip. One has a map and one doesn’t. Which one do you think will get there first? Bingo!
You need a plan, you need goals. Without accurate statistics and measurable results that you can look forward to you are in for a rough ride. Plan ahead! Ask yourself why you are doing what you’re doing and write your answers down. Then list them in order of importance and memorize them. Keep it handy and never forget it. Get pumped and stay that way!

Key points
- Avoid unnecessary hunger or foods that you really dislike
- Eat normally at first while decreasing portions a little at a time
- Only eat when hungry, examine your reasons before eating
- Keep meal times the same while adding supplemental meals to avoid
shock
- Consume less quantities near bedtime
- Construct your grocery list and plan it with your caloric intake
- Think of your goals and write them down

You eat REAL food with no expensive food products to buy!

This program will show you the easiest ways around natural laws!

1. How Do I Know I am Ready?
2. When Do I Start?
3. What Will Happen If I Don’t Succeed?

Let’s start off with the first issue. You should only start when you are absolutely convinced that you are doing this for yourself. Don’t do it because someone close to you is pushing you. You will be a lot less motivated this way and also a lot more frustrated. When you are doing this for yourself you will be more inclined to do the proper research and will also be more likely to put all of your heart and resources into it, whether it be emotional, physical or financial.

While it is important to care about what others think it shouldn’t be your primary objective. You must do this out of respect for yourself and then for others. When it boils down to it, you are the one who has to see yourself everyday. In other words, as long as you are happy with your appearance that is all that should matter.

Secondly, when do you start? Again, start when you are ready. You must be in the proper frame of mind in order to begin this process, as it demands a clear head. If you have failed at another approach, take awhile off and wait until you think you can handle it. There is no point running from one program to another, this only leads to confusion and burnout.

And last but not least, what if you fail? The key idea is to learn from your mistakes. Remember where you think you went wrong and do your best to avoid repeating it. Everyone is different and through trial and error you will find what works the best for you.

I am not saying that everything you try won’t work. That would be silly! You can think positive and be assured that any sincere efforts you put into this endeavor will not be in vain. There will always be valuable life lessons you can grab when attempting to do something. In reality, anything you try to improve yourself will be met with results of some kind. You just want to
find that perfect weight loss window that’s all!

That’s why this ebook is such a great aid! If you follow the guidelines written throughout these chapters you will be met with success! To start off we must first eliminate what not to do when contemplating and undertaking a weight loss program. Then you will more likely be left with what you can do in order to be successful.

Weight Loss Myths

Below I have compiled a list of common myths that many people believe which can seriously hurt your progress and your state of mind. In other words you will become discouraged when you don’t see results!

Here they are:

• Spot Reduction. There is just simply no such thing. No matter how many crunches you perform you will not get a flatter stomach until you incorporate proper eating habits and some kind of low intensity aerobic activity.

• Starches are fattening. Things like bread, rice and pasta won’t make you fat. It is what you put on them that will hurt you. Things like butter and oils. Potatoes and their companions are actually a good source of carbohydrates, which is the main fuel source for the body.

• You have to stop eating the foods you enjoy. The real issue here is not the food itself but rather how much and when. The longer you go without something the more likely you are to crave it and you will end up losing the battle. This often leads to discouragement.

• The starvation effect. Cabbage soup doesn’t sound bad for a few days but how about a month? Or worse yet, how about for life? And when you do eat ‘normal’ foods again…watch out! The more sensible way is to make slow changes in your eating habits until you see results and then adjust accordingly.

• Missing meals is a better way to lose weight. On the contrary. Studies reveal that people who miss breakfast tend to be heavier than those who
don’t. When you skip a meal you are more likely to eat more the nexttime.

• Becoming a vegetarian will guarantee weight loss. Things such as cheese and nuts can be just as fattening as animal products. Also, many ’substitute’ by including things such as chocolate bars and chips. As with any way of eating you have to be just as careful.

• If it’s ‘fat-free’ it’s good. This isn’t always true. You have to check labels because in some products the fat is lower but the calories are still
quite high. Some manufacturers replace the absence of fat with things like sugar to help improve the taste resulting in a higher caloric content.

• One diet will work for everyone. If this were true there would only be one diet. Everyone is different and has different needs. The true plansare the ones that show you how to discover this yourself through knowledge, questioning, experimentation and application.

• Weighing yourself everyday. You will only become discouraged. Your body weight fluctuates from day to day due to different variables such ashormonal changes and fluid retention. It’s best to weigh yourself once a week.

• Eating fat will make you fat. Of course if you eat too much fat you will gain weight but the same also applies to protein and carbohydrates.Your body actually needs fat for certain functions of the body. With this said it still is wise to keep your fat lower than the remaining two (proteinand carbs) which shouldn’t be a problem.

• If your parents are overweight you will be too. While some of this is true it is only a small amount at most. It is mostly a persons habits resulting from how they were raised by their parents that cause the problems. With enough education and determination it is possible to meet your goals!

There! Once you have those things cleared up you can start to concentrate on your program. By downloading this ebook you have displayed more than the desire to change, you did something about it. The first step in the right direction! View today as a contemplation day. Eat ‘freely’ today but start to really focus on your goals…how you will feel once you achieve them. Start to get excited!

Key points
- Do this for yourself and not others. It will be easier on you
- Your primary objective should be what you think of yourself and not
what others think
- Start when you are ready in order to be in the proper frame of mind
- Learn from your mistakes, don’t be discouraged, and start over
- All sincere efforts will be rewarded
- Study the myths we went over carefully so you will remember what
to avoid!

A strong focus on maintenance and how to STAY THERE!

Are you overwhelmed by the overload of information concerning dieting and weight loss? Everywhere you turn you find an article or an advertisement promising you amazing results. Then why do 95% (yes, that’s not a typo) of people who try to lose weight fail?

The number one reason is that most don’t know where to begin. Many people try to learn how to run before they learn how to walk. You must have a solid foundation in order to be met with success. All the ‘hot tips’ in the world won’t help you until you start from the ground up, that’s a fact!

As a general rule, select foods that contain no more than 20 percent of calories from fat per serving. But beware: sometimes the serving size represents less than what you’re likely to eat, meaning that its actual fat content is higher. And don’t be fooled by the Daily Value (DV) listing. The DV tells you how much of a day’s worth of fat, cholesterol, sodium, etc., the food provides, based on a hypothetical 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. DV ratings are in bold on the new nutrition labels, but they often understate the amount of fat an item contains. A snack food might have a fat DV of 25 percent, which might seem acceptable to the unsuspecting consumer, but still contain 75 percent of calories (or more) from fat.

As far as unlabeled foods are concerned, here are some guidelines:

Fruits, vegetables, and beans. They’re low in fat and high in carbohydrates, just the ticket for a healthy diet. Just don’t destroy them by smothering them in high-fat butter, margarine, or cream.

Pastas and grains. Here’s another food group that’s low in fat and high in carbohydrates. Eat more of them, as long as you’re careful about what you add to them.

Breads. Eat as much as you want, but beware of crackers, muffins, biscuits, croissants, and other bread treats, which are high in fat. In addition, be careful about spreads. Low-fat choices include: jellies, jams, preserves, mashed bananas, bean dip, and nonfat yogurt, cream cheese, or cottage cheese. Butter, margarine, peanut butter, and cheeses are high in fat.

Nuts and seeds. Nuts and seeds are high in fat. If you eat them by the handful, you can consume a great deal of fat. Use nuts and seeds sparingly to top fruits, vegetables, beans, pastas or grains. Or substitute Grape Nuts cereal (completely fat-free), or toasted bread crumbs, oats, or cornmeal.

Eggs. Use commercial egg substitutes in cooking and baking. For scrambled eggs or omelets, mix one real egg into a bowl containing mashed tofu or two or three eggs’ worth of substitute.

Meats. Of all the red meats, only venison contains fewer than 20 percent of calories from fat. Beef, veal, pork, lamb, duck, sausages, and luncheon meats are all high in fat. But you don’t have to eliminate them from your diet. Simply change how you use them. Instead of building your meals around them, choose recipes that use small amounts of meat to flavor dishes based on vegetables, beans, or grains, the way Asian cuisines do. If you love BLTs, you can still have them, but instead of four strips of bacon and one slice each of lettuce and tomato, pile on the L and T, and crumble one strip of bacon over them. And if you love burgers, select leans cuts — the leanest is fat-trimmed top round. Ask your butcher or supermarket to grind it for you. Then thin your burgers by adding oatmeal and grated carrots. When you pan-fry ground beef for spaghetti sauce, brown it first, then place it in a colander and rinse it thoroughly with hot water. This removes a great deal of the fat.

Chicken. Skinless white-meat chicken breasts are low in fat, and can be used in a virtually limitless number of low-fat recipes. But watch out: chicken skin is high in fat. If you eat it, you lose chicken’s benefits. Strip the skin before you cook chicken. The meat can absorb a great deal of skin fat during cooking. Dark meat chicken parts (thighs and drumsticks) are also high in fat. You can still eat dark meat. Just use it sparingly in recipes whose main ingredients are vegetables, beans, or grains. Also beware of chicken hot dogs. They’re often as high in fat as their pork or beef counterparts. Chicken hot dogs are mostly skin and dark meat. Finally, be careful how you cook your skinless chicken breasts. Fried or batter-dipped, they drip with fat. Ditto for butter- or cream-based sauces.

Turkey. It’s not just for Thanksgiving anymore. Ounce for ounce, a skinless white-meat turkey breast is even lower in fat than a chicken breast. These days, supermarkets sell it whole, sliced, or in cutlets. If you pound turkey cutlets and cook them like veal, and it’s hard to tell the difference. But be careful — turkey has the same caveats as chicken: trim the skin. Cook it skinless. Steer clear of dark-meat turkey, turkey franks, ground turkey, frying, and high-fat sauces.

Fish and seafood. Most fish and seafood are low in fat: cod, flounder, lobster, scallops, shrimp, snapper, and sole. But several fish are fairly high in fat: herring, mackerel, and salmon. To keep your fish low in fat, bake, broil, poach, or grill it, or pan-fry it in wine. Don’t fry it in butter or margarine or cover it with butter- or cream-based sauces. If you enjoy high-fat fish, use small portions, and combine them with vegetables, beans, and grains. Canned tuna comes packed in either water or high-fat oil. Choose water.

Butter, margarine, and oils. They’re all 100 percent fat. Butter is the most harmful because it’s the highest in saturated fat, which raises cholesterol, and contributes to heart disease. But margarine contains trans-fatty acids, which also increase risk of heart disease. Olive oil, a monounsaturated fat, does not increase risk of heart disease, nor, according to some studies, the risk of breast or colon cancer. But olive oil is still 100 percent fat. Use it sparingly. One good way is to reduce the amount recipes call for. If a recipe suggests 2 tablespoons of olive oil, try one or less. Or substitute vegetable broth or sherry. Or try an oil spray. Most people who cook with sprays, available at supermarkets, use less oil than they would if they simply poured liquid oil into their pans. One easy way to trim the fat is to use fat-free dressings on salads. Pritikin and other brands are available at most supermarkets. Or try vinegar or lemon juice with just a splash of oil.

“Low-fat” prepared foods. The dishes sold by some weight-control businesses and other similar programs claim to be low in fat. They are lower than the typical American diet, but most still derive more than 20 percent of their calories from fat. They are not low enough in fat to significantly reduce risk of the fat-related medical conditions. In addition, they use small portion size to reduce the total number of calories, so people who eat them often feel unsatisfied and risk bingeing on high-fat items.

The new nonfat foods. If reading this section has left you scratching your head wondering what’s left to eat, cheer up! Increasing consumer demand for nonfat items has filled supermarket shelves with all sorts of seemingly sinful, yet fat-free foods. Do you love cream cheese? Now there’s fat-free cream cheese made from skim milk. Does the word “dessert” make you salivate for ice cream? Try nonfat frozen yogurt, or sorbet, made entirely from frozen puréed fruit. Pretzels, chips, cookies, breakfast cereals, cheeses, sour cream — they all come in nonfat versions. Supermarkets now carry literally hundreds of nonfat items. The next time you go shopping, open your eyes to the new world of nonfat food alternatives. What you see — and taste — just might surprise you.

Eat mindfully. While eating, don’t do anything else. Don’t read, work, do household chores, or watch TV.

Eat breakfast. For most people it’s easier to banish the fat from breakfast than from any other meal. Try: toast with jam, apple butter, or nonfat cream cheese; a nonfat cereal or oatmeal with skim milk or nonfat yogurt and fresh fruit; or a fruit salad with nonfat cottage cheese. “A good breakfast provides energy,” Dr. Ornish explains, “and reduces midmorning food cravings that send people scurrying for danishes and donuts.”
