Why Women Struggle To Lose Weight

Alisa, couldn’t believe her luck.

After years of struggling with her weight, the mother of four from Chino Hills, CA had finally found something that worked!

Created by the world-class nutrition expert John Barban, the program is called The Venus Factor.

The Venus Factor is a 12 week fitness system specifically designed to help women sculpt their bodies by helping them lose weight in their most common problem areas: the belly, hips, waist and thighs.

The initial payment is only $9.99.

It is not 79.00 a month. It’s a 79.00 one time fee for the ebooks. And they are ebooks. With your purchase, you get access to the forums (which are an amazing resource, btw). They also have blogs, which you can set up for yourself. You can print off the workouts and take them to the gym or just keep them for home use. There are links to videos of every exercise, showing you exactly how to do it.

I can tell you, It is so worth it. It is not a miracle system. It is still calories in, calories out, very MFP friendly. Most people track cals on here, loseit, or spark people. It is challenging, to be sure, but it is also accessible. There is calorie software that helps you find the appropriate amount you should be eating based on where you are in your weight loss goals. It is based on an aesthetic, which I actually really like. It gives you something to aim for, rather than just willy nilly dieting and/or working out. I’ve used Beachbody systems and done crossfit, but each time (I put on weight, both muscle and fat, really easily, btw) I would get fitter, but bulk up in all the wrong places. With VF, I have more control over where I put on muscle because I am training for a specific look.

I have used the program for several years. Two years ago, I used it to lose about 15 pounds and completely recomp my body. I didn’t know how to do maintenance, though, so I rebounded. I put on about 30 pounds (not all fat… I’m definitely stronger than I was) and am now using their principles to steadily lose again. I have just entered their most recent contest (open to all people who buy the venus factor system). You can go to the venus factor blog and see the results people have had from the contests. It’s not BS. It’s hard work, but it’s worth it.

Also, the community is absolutely invaluable. The women are so helpful and encouraging. All newbies get discouraged and overwhelmed at first, but the ladies just lift you up. There is no cattiness. It’s amazing and wonderful. You can always try it out and get a refund if you hate it. They’re awesome about that.

Alisa Coles, before and after combining popular weight loss pills recommended by Dr. Oz.

Hi, I bought the program and read the 85 page booklet explaining it. It has very basic, sensible information about the female body, the metabolic rate,calories, dieting and exercising. What I found is that it has given me back my own point of view so I can follow my own good sense about my personal weight loss program. It is a program I am following as it took a sea of rules, opinions, friends advice, diet programs and simplified it into some good practical guidelines for me.
The down side is how many sales emails I get promoting special offers on supplementary things I can buy. It makes it seem all hype and sales, but I just stuck to understanding the basic program first and then I was able to decide if I wanted anything else or not.
It is true there are no miracles but this is program not a miracle. I still have to watch my calories, fat and sugar intake and I still have to exercise but the information here has helped me guide myself on a more successful path.

“…and on today’s show, we will talk about an exciting new pumpkin shape fruit that just may be the Holy Grail of weight loss!”

Alisa bolted upright, her eyes wide, as Dr. Oz introduced the powerful new belly fat blaster Garcinia Cambogia

Dr. Julie Chen sat down with Dr. Oz and explained how the active ingredient, HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid) made it so effective for weight loss, and how the “average person could expect to lose between 4-10 pounds a month — all without diet and exercise!”

It was then the cameras zoomed in for a close up on Dr. Oz’s skeptical facial expression. He looked square in the camera and said emphatically…

“I am immediately skeptical when anyone mentions a so-called “magic diet pill” that will help you lose weight without diet and exercise. I feel an obligation to protect my audience — so I conducted an my own independent study on Garcinia Cambogia. To my surprise and delight, the results were similar to Dr. Chen’s, so I have full confidence when I say Garcinia Cambogia does in fact promote weight loss without diet and exercise.”

Up till that point, Alisa had tried everything, including diet and exercise, but she could never stick with anything for very long. If this new fruit would allow her to shed pounds effortlessly — and it was backed by science and endorsed by Dr. Oz — she would give it a shot.

But there was just one problem…

Alisa couldn’t decide if she should buy Pure Green Coffee Bean
or Pure Garcinia Camborgia Extract??

How Men Boost Testosterone Naturally At Any Age

If you haven’t heard the whispers, there’s a new supplement at GNC that’s got executives interested. Out of the tens of thousands of products sold by the nutrition giant, this particular supplement, a free testosterone booster known as Test X180 Ignite, is already well on its way to becoming one of GNC’s top 10 grossing products in a matter of months. The success is borderline inexplicable so we decided to ask the company’s Chief Marketing Officer his secret.

“It’s not complicated,” said the CMO. We sell a great product at a lower price than many of our competitors. Customers are smart – if you create a product that can benefit millions of Americans and it works, it’s going to sell. That’s what we’ve done here.”

Despite early success, Test X180 Ignite hasn’t been perfect. Because the product’s key ingredient is a very rare fenugreek seed extract known as Testofen, being able to keep up with the demand has been a challenge. “It’s a good problem to have, but one we struggle with everyday,” said the CMO. “Reality is, the supply is limited and keeping up with our customers isn’t easy. As we continue to work out the kinks in our supply chain, the best advice I can offer at the moment is if you see it, buy it, before you miss your opportunity. I think you’ll be impressed by the results.”

As it turns out, unlike many other free testosterone boosters, with the help of a regular strength training routine, within a short amount of time, men who had taken Test X180 Ignite reported feeling:

Skyrocketed Libido
Insane Boost in Energy
Enhanced Performance
Incredible Lean Muscle and Endurance Gains
The makers of Test X180 Ignite are so confident in their new product they are offering every man in the country a risk-free sample. If you’re interested in giving it a shot, claim a sample here. If you are not able to claim a bottle online, you may be able to find Test X180 Ignite at your local GNC.

Flawless Skin For Women Over 40

When we’re young, the main concern regarding our skin tends to be hiding pimples and experimenting with makeup. Teenagers roll their eyes at anti-aging concerns such as wrinkles and crow’s feet. After all, that’s years away… or is it?

According to dermatologists, the fight against the signs of aging could actually start as early as our 20’s. This is when we need to get serious about skin care, becoming vigilant about sunscreen, proper hydration, and looking to slow down the skin’s aging process.

In fact, our skin and the way it ages differ markedly as we grow older.

When it comes to treating skin for multiple issues such as: acne, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, etc. there are multiple factors to consider, including different levels of hydration, exfoliation, and supporting collagen and elastin production. And the severity of these issues depends on your age.

That was the conclusion reached by an MIT scientist in Cambridge, MA who wanted to prove cosmetic creams could compete with plastic surgery in the war on aging. She developed unique topical solutions for each decade when a woman’s skin goes through the most important changes—her 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s.

Over an eight week study consisting of 80 women between those ages, researchers reviewed the effect these different creams had on their skin. At every two week interval, each woman’s face was photographed for evidence of changes in her skin from when she first started using her age-based cream.

Seventy percent of women noticed an increase in their skin’s hydration in those first two weeks alone. At the end of the study, nearly 100 percent of the women were reporting significantly positive results from their age-based cream.

The scientist then used the results of the study to create a skin care line called Stages of Beauty. It consists of four creams formulated to treat the unique issues of your skin’s age, based on the most skin prominent decade.

For women in their 20s there’s the Radiance cream; lightweight and infused with an anti-aging complex that works to prevent the fine lines and wrinkles we develop in our 30s. It also contains other soothing ingredients to calm skin from breakouts and damage from the sun.

For women in their 30s there’s the Harmony cream; delivering a deeper level of hydration for the years when the moisture barrier begins to deplete. The Harmony cream stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to create a tightening effect of the skin. This pushes younger skin cells forward for glowing skin and helps prevent the skin drooping that starts to occur in our 40s.

For women in their 40s there’s the Elegance cream; an intensely hydrating cream, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. It also begins the process of cell repair and goes into DNA protection mode.

For women in their 50s there’s the Grace cream; an ultra-hydrating cream for the age when hormones shift into overdrive and a rapid deterioration of the moisture barrier occurs. The Grace cream works to balance the effects of hormones on the skin, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to create a tightening effect, and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Every cream is formulated with a mix of proven anti-aging ingredients: Resveratrol, Apple stem cell botanical extract, Sea botanicals and Amino acids, Peptide triple blend, Prickly pear extract, Tetra peptide 17, Sodium hyaluronate, Amino acid complex, Hyaluronic acid, Acetyl hexapetide-3, and Seaweed extract.

But, do the creams really work? According to numerous women, including Jill Zarin from the hit series The Real Housewives of New York, the answer is “Yes!”

“I’m always on the lookout for products that make me look and feel my best, but it isn’t always easy,” Zarin states. “Stages of Beauty is the one anti-aging cream that has really made a difference for me. I look in the mirror every day and I’m amazed. It’s like nothing I’ve used before.”

If you’re tired of constantly changing product as your skin ages, or wondering whether you’re using the very best skincare available, there’s never been a better time to try your personal Stages of Beauty skin cream. That’s because they’re currently offering a free 14-day trial of each cream so you can see the changes for yourself.
