Panasonic Tc L32c22 32 Inch 720P Hdtv

Aaron Medina — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 05:15:36 +0000

Panasonic have won just with regards to each award going for their last few ranges – if you pick a Panasonic 32″ LCD you’re unquestionably following the counsel of most of the major AV magazines. They’re not the most inexpensive LCD screens on the market but do offer great quality and a superb watching experience. Here we run down three of the best selections of 32″ Panasonic screens

The Panasonic TX-32LXD85 is in truth the top of the range 32″ model from their last range – it’s still available at the major electrical merchants who sells goods at retail and often times at a bargain price. This model received outstanding reviews and performance is arguably very similar to the current range – the TX32LXD85 model had upgraded speakers so the sound must be better than the ’80′ model. You may often times get a actually good price on this model but they are no longer being fictitious so if you spot one you like get it then as it may be the last one you see – it’s a top quality Panasonic 32 LCD screen for a often a bargain price.

The next model is the Panasonic TX-32LZD80 which is percentage of Panasonics latest range the LZD – Which magazine ranked it as ‘just in regards to the best 32″ LCD Screen you may buy” . All round perfomance is splendid and it’s yet to receive a bad review from any of the digital press or major AV magazines. It’s rather a straight forward choice if you’ve ruled out the older model above – if you’re not too troubled when it comes to sound (or you’re attaching a home cinema system) this is probably the best Panasonic 32 LCD screen for you.

If you don’t want more wires and still want better sound then the Panasonic TX-32LZD85 is in all probability the rectify choice – the TX32LZD85 has much bettered speakers built into the frame – the 85 is the flagship model so there are likewise a couple of minor effigy processing improvements but the speakers are the main change. If you are using external speakers it’s not worth the extra cash.

Whichever of the above HDTV screens you choose I’m sure you won’t be disappointed – all the current Panasonic 32″ LCD screens are at the top of the pile.

Finally Thin How I Lost More Than 200

Jorge Mendez — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 12:15:46 +0000

The other day, I received an email from someone who wrote: “I’ve always had fine, thin hair, but lately it appears a lot thinner to me. I wonder if this is just a natural part of aging when you have my type of hair or if I have some hair loss that I need to be concerned about.” This is not at all an not common question. Often we don’t detect anything that’s overly troublesome or we chalk up a loss in density as a normal part of aging, but one day we wake up, look in the mirror, and see a drastic and troubling change. Or sometimes, we feel this change if we try to put our hair up and observe that there just isn’t as much to pull back or we run our fingers through it and just don’t feel as much as we applied to. In the following article, I’ll tell you galore things to look for to help you determine if what you are looking at and experiencing is normal for you or if it’s something that you may want to take a closer look at.

Did You Have Fine Or Thin Hair As A Child?: Often the easiest way to tell if your hair is comparatively normal for you is to go back and look at pictures of yourself at respective ages allround your life. Often, your hair texture even at an early age will be a clue. Once a kid is passed regarding 4-5 years of age, they must have the texture that they’re going to have for the rest of their lives. And, this may be very different, even in families. My oldest son has hair that is so course that you could floss your teeth with it, while my youngest son has texture that is more like mine, fine and thin.

If Your Hair Is Fine And Thin, Do You Still Have A Lot Of It?: Generally, folks who have hair that is of a finer texture will have more hairs per square inch to make up for that fact. Hair dressers employed to say to me: “you have fine hair, but boy is there a lot of it.” When I used to get perms (which would help because of my strand’s texture) it would take hours because there was just so much of it to roll.

So while it may be rather natural for your person strands to be thinner than others, you must in general have sufficient to have a decent density that isn’t so noticeably dissimilar that it isn’t registered as noticeable to others. Sure, your pony tail may be littler in depth, but it doesn’t stand out as having something seriously wrong. The over all effect is still rather acceptable.

For example, the actress Naomi Watts has fine, thin hair, but most would still categorize her as someone who has “good” or “pretty” hair. The over all effect is still rather pleasing, even though she’s in all likelihood well conscious that she ought to take her texture into account when she cuts or styles her hair. Her hair doesn’t appear flyaway, skimpy, or that it won’t hold a curl or style and it’s still rather delighting to the eye.

Thin, Finer Hair As The Result Of Hair Loss With Miniaturization: If the overall effect that you are experiencing now is not one of a decent density and volume, then it’s possible that you are experiencing androgen or medical related hair loss with aggressive shedding or loss and compromised regrowth or miniaturization. Usually this is a combining of losing density because of shedding hair and then the regrowth being negatively affected so that it comes in more thin and more fine and no longer offers sufficient coverage. If this is the case, it’s best to address this as soon as possible. The longer this issue goes on, the more difficult it will be to regrow all of the hair that you have lost and the harder it will be to reverse the miniaturized texture.

Clarisonic Waterproof Skin Care System

Louis Schultz — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:49:05 +0000

Clarisonic skin care cleansing brush for the face is made by the same company who brought us the sonicare toothbrush. And those folks are very reputable.

Why did I buy the Clarisonic Cleansing Brush?

I am in my mid 40s and I have been noticing a good deal of fine lines on my face. Also my skin was a bit uneven (dry in some places and oily in others) even even though I washed it night and day and even used tame scrubbing exfoliants on my face in the shower each day.

So on a visit to my dermatologist, his assistant was raving with regards to the Clarisonic Pro. This assistant was 50 years old with utterly glowing skin! She told me the most inexpensive place to get the scheme and it wasn’t at that doctor’s office! I genuinely cherished her personal review and her helpful hint to get it at a lower cost.

So what does the Clarisonic Cleansing scheme do that has made me addicted to using it night and day?

The system has a cleansing brush that is so tame on my skin – yet it cleans and exfoliates so much more exhaustively than when I formerly washed my face using cleanser, water and my hands.

It is waterproof and may be used in the shower, in the bathtub and at the sink. You may likewise custommake the settings so you get incisively the level of exfoliation and tame cleansing that is perfective for your face. They even have a “spa” setting that will give similar results to microdermabrasion if that is what you want.

My skin is cleaner, all the makeup is removed, and then when I put on any merchandise they are absorbed much better into my skin so I may use less of them and get a better result.

The best way I may describe the Clarisonic is that gives my face and neck a mini-massage that unclogs my pores, cleans my skin gently but thoroughly, and reveals much softer, younger looking skin on my face and neck.

I receive so numerous compliments on my complexion after using this system. And I scarcely wear any makeup any more – my glowing skin looks great sufficient naturally.

The best part when it comes to this scheme is the cash back guarantee. You may undertake it and if you don’t like it – you may return it. Although I bet you won’t want to give it up. I sure won’t!

First-hand comparison between Clarisonic and Nutra Sonic Sonic Skin Care Systems
By Chandler
If I am going to spend $100 or more on an item, I do a lot of research and I also ask anyone I know if they have the item so I can try it out. I did that here as well. I should start by saying that meant that I had to buy new brushes since I borrowed the Clarisonic from my mom and the Nutra Sonic from one of my friends and it wouldn’t be a good thing to use their face brushes in addition to the machine.

Cost of replacement brushes:
Clarisonic (hereafter referred to as “C”) $25 on most sites but this varies with sales
Nutra Sonic (hereafter referred to as “N”)$15 on most sites but this varies with sales

Ease of switching out brushes:
C: Easy
N: Not hard, but more difficult than the Clarisonic in comparison

Why you want a sonic cleaner to begin with it: Sonic wave technology has long been proven as far more than a gimmick, though it may sound that way at first. Sonic wavelength technology is made up of tiny vibrations that allow you to loosen dirt you could not otherwise. This is why they are used in professional toothbrushes and in the jewelry cleaner machines your jeweler uses. I own both of those items too and I can tell you there is an ENORMOUS difference from that and simply a vibrating sonic-wannabe of either. For your face this means it cleans your pores 6 times better than you can via simply washing, reducing breakouts but also helping take away loose skin on the surface you can’t see which clogs pores and dulls skin and renewing skin reduces wrinkles. Having worked in the cosmetic biz myself, I’m well aware of that truth.

So let’s get down to how they worked…

To be fair, I used one for one week on one side of my face, twice per day and the other on the other side of my face twice per day.

Sonic Power:
C 300 rotations per second
N 400 rotations per second

The Nutra Sonic was obviously stronger but I didn’t measure these rotations on my own…no way could I count that fast. The manufacturers provided these details, both to me and in their advertised specs. This is both a good and bad thing. First, it felt like the Clarisonic only had vibration in the middle part of the brush, not all over, which didn’t make much sense to me, but suffice it to say it was just lighter on the power, Nutra Sonic truly felt like it had more power…however, that also meant there was a bit more splatter. I could use the Clarisonic standing up, facing the mirror, with no splatter. However, I used the Nutra Sonic in the shower and with my face down to the sink since the power of it sometimes splashed water droplets.

Waterproof?
Yes, both of these models are

Feel:
C Felt a bit heavier, maybe because it has heavier parts or because it has a built-in timer whereas the Nutra Sonic does not.
N Lighter

So I should add….
Timer:
C Built in timer so you don’t use it on any part of your face longer than a minute
N No built in timer

Speeds:
C 1 speed, soft. Manufacturer says it’s made for “sensitive skin”
N 4 speeds: sensitive, normal, and body brush
(incidentally, there is a Clarisonic that has more speeds as well but it was, at the time of this review, $200 more than the Nutra Sonic that does the same thing and it still had less sonic power. That’s the Clarisonic Pro. I’m not writing about this though, because I didn’t try it due to the price and already knowing the power wasn’t as good as the Nutra Sonic going in.)

brushes included:
C: 1 brush
N: 3 brush heads for each speed…if your skin is very sensitive, there is a softer brush, if you want greater exfoliation, use the harder brush at normal speed, or soften feet and elbows in the shower with the body brush on high speed. Incidentally, if I have bad breakouts I do sometimes use the high speed on my face to really exfoliate.

Jitter Mode:
C: Has no Jitter Mode setting in addition to speeds
N: Has a jitter mode setting so you can use exfoliation cleansers and pretty much get a pro exfoliation. I prefer Mary Kay’s exfoliation cleanser because they are one of the few that uses the exact same exfoliates as dermatologists use…rather than ground peach pits or apricot pits that actually put tiny tears in your skin. Again, that’s just from me being in the biz for a few years that I know that odd fact. Olay has a good one too.

both come with charging base

Cost:
C: High
N: Low in comparison, but nothing with decent sonic wavelength tech is cheap.
It should be noted that price varies greatly both on Amazon and the internet. Do compare shipping charges as well. Usually I find everything cheaper on Amazon but in this case, for me, Amazon had a link ad on the Nutra Derm page that linked to an outside website that had the Nutra Sonic less and with free shipping so do explore around as sometimes it’s cheaper in one place and sometimes another, or sometimes it’s cheaper on one but the seller jacks up the shipping.

Cleansers:
In my opinion, skip the upsell for the cleansers of both models if you have the option and just buy whatever brand you like…they are just average cleaners and not worth the extra mark up for the small bottles.

Bottom Line…Cleaning
C: Did a far better job of cleaning than a regular scrubbing with a wash cloth and cleanser, reduced breakouts and smooth feel
N: I expected to like the Clarisonic better, I’ll be honest, because in spite of the fact I knew Nutra Sonic had more power, Clarisonic was pricier. You don’t always get what you pay for. Sometimes you simply pay for marketing. The pores on the left side of my face where I used the Nutra Sonic were MORE reduced, and my skin was smoother. I can’t say I saw a wonderful reduction in wrinkles on either side but it may also be too soon to measure that claim by both brands. I loved the exfoliation mode on the Nutra Sonic and, in all honesty, the speed difference was VERY important to me. Dermatologists exfoliate for a reason: removing the outer layer of dead skin rejuvenates your skin and prevents clogged pores which lead to acne. The soft pulse of the Clarisonic simply didn’t do this as much, although I did like it better than a wash cloth. For results, the Nutra Sonic won for me hands down.

Warranty:
C: 1 year but ONLY if your purchase stems from the Clarisonic website. (But the price was far higher on their website when I looked than most other sellers of it.)
N: 1 year regardless of where you buy it.

Conclusion: If you want to use the sonic cleaner looking into a mirror and never in the shower and you have very sensitive skin that doesn’t need a deeper clean, the Clarisonic would make you happy. It does clean well. However, if you don’t mind looking down near the sink to prevent some random water drops that Nutra Sonic sometimes slings with the greater vibrations, or you want to use it in the shower, or you want to exfoliate or have normal skin that sometimes needs a greater scrubbing (although you can still go with gentle too), I’d choose the Nutra Sonic. Also if you want to use it on your body, the Nutra Sonic works with the intense clean and body brush whereas you can’t do this with the Clarisonic. The Nutra Sonic, however, does not have the built-in timer to tell you when you’ve been on a part of your face for a minute and should move on but, for me, for the cost savings, I can wing it.

I took off stars therefore because, for me, this was priced far higher but had: less sonic power, less regular power, only one speed when I needed deep cleaning for normal, not sensitive skin, and it only had one brush, and couldn’t be used on other parts like elbows, etc, and it didn’t allow for an exfoliation jitter mode…all things that really renewed my skin with the Nutra Sonic, for waay less money.

I thanked my Sonic cleanser lenders and still remain VERY happy with the Nutra Sonic. Plus now the right side of my face has caught up with the left and is equally as smooth and clean!

So Far, So Good!
By Sarah
I purchased the Clarisonic after much frustration with my skin.. I am 34yrs old and my skin is prone to breakouts, and is very congested with small bumps under it, I am always using scrubs and peels in an attempt to bring the bumps to the surface, which has varying results.. often my skin becomes irritated from the scrubs and the result is pretty bad looking, uneven, bumpy skin. I have spent plenty of money over the years on various products that haven’t really worked, and facials etc etc. I did use ProActiv – which helped with the acne but I find it just way too drying for prolonged use. Not to mention the hassle of ordering it. I also tried Retin-A prescribed by dermatologist on the bumps.. that sort of works, but it makes the skin irritated and peel and I cannot use it on a regular basis.

So.. after reading many good reviews, I decided to give the Clarisonic a try. Figured it would be worth the price if it actually worked. I have a Sonicare toothbrush, so I know how much better that is than a regular toothbrush, so it made sense to me…
Anyway.. just three days into my use of the Clarisonic, here are my results so far:

- First Impression: the thing is bigger than I thought it would be? I guess it needs to be that big to be waterproof.

- It came with the Sensitive brush head, so I am using that. I did NOT use the trial cleansers provided, as I read that many others had bad experience with those products.

- The first use; I followed the directions, and was actually surprised at the action of the brush: it is not the ‘circular scrubbing’ motion that I had anticipated. In fact I would not say that it “scrubs” at all. Rather, it vibrates and very high speed, and the brush gently moves. You are supposed to move the brush gently in a small circular motion, and not apply pressure, just let the brush do the work. After the first use, I was not really convinced of the merits of the brush.

- Second use (in the shower this time).. getting the hang of it better now.. After emerging from the shower, I was surprised to notice a change in my skin. It looks incredibly clean, for a start. Pores on my nose less visible. Pores look very clean. Bumps on cheeks are reduced. Tone is more even. I used probably half the amount of moisturizer that I normally use. Wow, I am impressed. Looking forward to next use!

- Third / fourth use – OK think I am getting addicted. The results are astounding. After just three days, my skin looks completely different. The Clarisonic obviously does such a superior job of cleansing the skin, once you try it there is no going back! Apart from the cleansing, it also seems to improve fine lines, tone/evenness and firmness. I can’t wait to see how my skin looks in another week or two.

Even some of the most stubborn bumps/spots under my jaw have started to come to the surface now, and instead of being horrible painful things, they just sort of naturally came to the surface and were easily pushed out (sorry, gross)..

It is interesting to see how clean the skin actually is with the Clarisonic; I did a test of washing my face “old school” (no clarisonic) with my cleanser, then followed by the Tea Tree wipe (see PRODUCTS below). I actually had to use two wipes because there was so much makeup/dirt residue left on the skin. When I use the Clarisonic with the same cleanser, I use one wipe and it comes up almost clean – the only area it picks up any visible residue is around the hairline/ear where the Clarisonic doesn’t reach.

PRODUCTS: I am using Cetaphil for Normal/Oily skin, which seems to be a terrific combination with the Clarisonic – highly recommend it. It also removes my eye makeup nicely (of course don’t use the clarisonic on your eyes). I also picked up some Desert Essence Natural Tea Tree Cleaning Pads ($3 for 50 at Trader Joe’s) to use as a toner after cleansing. I do a quick wipe (be gentle) with a pad after cleansing with the Clarisonic. I find they are very good for the difficult to reach areas around my ears/hairline/jawline to remove last traces of oil etc, and as a general antiseptic toner on the rest of my face. Follow with a quick rinse off with clean water.. feels so clean and tingly!

Moisturizing: Remember you will need to use A LOT LESS of your other products with the Clarisonic. I am using about half the amt of moisturizer than I did before.

Makeup: I have found that Bare Minerals makeup is the way to go, especially in summer. I do use a liquid foundation if I’m going out, but for day to day, Mineral makeup is the way to go. It also applies much easier with the Clarisonic.

Hygeine: I suggest washing the brush head with an antibacterial hand soap and hot water every few uses, and also don’t leave your brush in the shower; put it somewhere where it can dry out between uses, this will help avoid bacteria growing on it.

In Summary: AAA++++ If you are on the fence; definitely give it a try; buy it from an authorized retailer so you can return it if you don’t like it.

Love it!
By drstephens
Have been using this for 2 weeks and my skin feels super clean and smooth! It’s expensive, but I figure by using the brush, at least I no longer have to buy scrubbing creams to exfoliate. It could just be wishful thinking, but I’m convinced it’s somehow erasing my laugh lines; will have to watch that over the longer term. And I have sensitive skin, but this is surprisingly gentle — you don’t really scrub your face with it… the sonic technology seems to do the work for you.

The only downside is that the beep settings take a while to get used to (you have to set your preferences by setting the beep tones, sort of confusing — why no real buttons?), not such a big deal once you get it set the way you plan to use it.

Positives: Skin feels clean, smooth, and tingly; can use in shower; wrinkle remover?
Negatives: Expensive

Overall, great product.

StressEraser Portable Biofeedback Device

Aaliyah Hopkins — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 03:01:50 +0000

I purchased StressEraser Portable Biofeedback device because I have been searching for ways on how to calm down my nerves. I noticed that I tend to forget things and get angry very without apparent effort when I’m stressed out. I want to undertake this product and see if it may help me. I purchased it for $250 online and I’ve been using it for 2 weeks already. First, I like it because it is so handy. It looks like a pager that you may put in your pocket and use anytime you need to. Whenever you feel stressed out, all you need to do is to put it out, put your finger on the percentage where you insert your finger and then follow it is instruction. The instruction will tell you when you will breathe in and breathe out.

It’s a finelooking cool gadget. Basically, it helps you make your breath slower. The manual says that studies have shown that decelerating down your breath will have substantial effect on your state of mind. The biofeedback device will measure your pulse and will tell you if you’re doing the breathing correctly. If you’re doing it the right way and you’re getting less stressed out, 3 cubes will appear in the monitor. If you are not following it and you still have a fast pulse rhythm, 1 cube will appear which means that your performance is not good. It is like a trainer that tells you precisely your condition and what to do in regards to it. While you’re doing it, it guides you until the time that you achieved your goal of having slower breathing and calmer mind. So far, after 2 weeks of using it each time I feel that I will get angry and pissed off or each time I feel I’m pressured with deadlines at work, I just put it out and follow the instructions.

Stresseraser Portable Biofeedback Device

Portable biofeedback device for relaxation training, activates the body’s natural relaxation response by synchronizing breathing with heart rate.

Manufacturer

The StressEraser is an award-winning, FDA-regulated, portable biofeedback device that helps you learn to activate your body’s natural relaxation response in minutes — without the use of medication.

Is there stress in your life? Now more than ever, you need the StressEraser^®

The premise behind StressEraser stress relief is simple and has been applied in exercise by physicians, psychologists and meditation experts for more than three decades. This state-of-the art medical engineering science fits in your pocket and is drug-free and non-invasive. It uses a finger sensor to convert your pulse into a wave form. This wave guides you to synchronize your breathing with your heart rate cycle.

We all recognise that decelerating down your breathing may slow down your heart rate and support you relax. The StressEraser cues you to not only slow your breathing but, just as importantly, to synchronize your inhales and exhales with the natural cycle of your heart rate.

Using an infrared sensor, the StressEraser measures HRV from the pulse in your fingertip and displays it as a wave.

Bad Waves. When you’re stressed, your wave is jagged and spiky.

Good Waves. When you’re relaxed, your wave becomes smooth and consistent, like a sine wave.

How It Works
From beat to beat, your heart rate naturally increments and decreases in a cycle, known as HRV, or Heart Rate Variability. Using an infrared sensor, the StressEraser measures HRV from the pulse in your fingertip and displays it as a wave. HRV is considered to be the most accurate, non-invasive measurement of your nervous scheme activity. HRV biofeedback is clinically proven over decades of peer-reviewed exploration to publicize stress relief and relaxation training.

The wave is like a window into your nervous system. When you’re stressed, your wave is jagged and spiky; when you’re relaxed, your wave becomes smooth and consistent, like a sine wave.

How You Use It
The StressEraser uses simple biofeedback symbols — squares and triangles — to cue your breathing. Triangles indicate the “peak” of the wave — that is, the most immediate point of your heart rate in your HRV cycle. Squares provide a scoring system for your waves, so you recognise when you are concentered and breathing properly.

Your goal is to time your inhale/exhale rate so that you begin your exhale at the moment that the triangle appears at the wave peak. It may take various triangles for you to completely sync up, so be patient. There’s no hurry! Remember your goal is to relax.

Studies show that HRV biofeedback shows more gains over time. After a few days and weeks, you’ll be capable to relax in just minutes. The more you use it, the better you’ll feel!

What’s in the Box
StressEraser personal biofeedback device, Owner’s Manual, Quick-Start card, Warranty registration card, two AAA batteries, protective case

Fantastic device, probably not for “hardcore” meditators
By Russell Christopher
I have a long time, twice-a-day meditation practice which includes breathing techniques, but was curious about this device anyway. So, I bought it on impulse. It is impressive, but simple and easy to use. I’d recommend it to anyone who doesn’t have some sort of regular (2-3 times daily) stress-relief practice in place. It’s function is simple – you simply breath in, then exhale when the device prompts you to. The tool sort of “teaches” you how to breath based on feedback on the screen, and as you learn to focus on the breath…poof, you stop worrying about other stuff.

A little expensive, but it works great for me
By Mark B
I bought this thing because I was curious about it, thought I’d try it out and intended on sending it back once I convinced myself that it was a glorified breathing machine. Well, the thing works for me so I won’t be sending it back.
You can read about the theory behind it at their website, but basically it measures your heart rate variability which in turn is supposed to reflect your emotional state. The device prompts you to breath out at a certain time to bring your HRV to an optimum level, which it measures by giving you a rating of 1-3 cubes at the bottom of the screen, 1 being bad and 3 being good.
The first thing that I wanted to know was whether it accurately reflected my mental state, which I doubted it would. So I’ve tried thinking about something stressful at random times during periods when I was otherwise relaxed (3 cubes) and it gives me 1 cube pretty much every time. 1 cube definitely feels worse than 3 cubes. I’ve repeated this many times over and I don’t doubt now that it can tell if I’ve gone from a relaxing state of mind to a stressful one. I can also tell now, based on how I feel, when I will get 1 cube vs. 3. This has turned out to be useful information because I can make myself feel relaxed without having to use the device, so I think the biofeedback component is really useful – it has helped me train myself to relax. It’s a bit like a relaxation coach. I still can’t get as relaxed on my own as I can using it, but maybe in time I’ll be able to.
The next thing I was interested in is whether this thing is any better than just sitting there and breathing calmly. Having convinced myself that it accurately predicts whether I’m stressed, I’ve tried to test this by ignoring the breathing prompts and just breathing in a nice calm manner and recording how many 3 cubes vs. 1 cubes I got in 15 minutes and comparing that number with the one obtained from breathing based on prompts for 15 minutes. Generally I get about 30-40% more using the prompts. The difference seems to be decreasing, but I think that’s because I have learned to breath the way it wants me to w/out the prompts. Basically I’m getting better at using breathing to decrease stress so I don’t need to rely on the device as much. At the beginning though, I wasn’t too good at using breathing to calm myself.
Obviously I can’t tell if this works for everyone, and I bet some people are good at using deep breathing to calm themselves so that they wouldn’t benefit so much from this, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised in that it’s not a scam and it has helped me to de-stress without drinking a bottle of wine every night like I used to do (kidding). I’d like to see the price come down though.

Diets come and diets go. You lose weight and gain more back than you started with on the “Diet Roller Coaster”. Now, the Dr. Phil of England claims he may make you thin by eating what you want, when you want it. Is this a hoax or a revolutionary breakthrough?

Paul McKenna, PhD is a TV show host and author in the UK. The book and the TV series portion the same name – I Can Make YouThin. His weight loss scheme is not a diet, in fact, he claims, “Diets are the enemy of weight loss!”

Can this be true? If so, what have the “nutrigurus” been feeding us all this time?

McKenna claims that if you:

* read his book (approximately 2 hours)

* follow his instructions (4 Golden Rules)

* listen to his hypnosis CD for 2 weeks

* change your eating pattern

you will lose weight.

His 4 Golden Rules are:

1.) when you are hungry, eat

2.) eat what you want, not what you think you should

3.) eat consciously and receive pleasure from each mouthful

4.) when you think you are full, stop eating

First, you need to make sure you are actually physically hungry and not with regard to emotions hungry and eating for the faulty reasons.

Secondly you will have to not deprive yourself of foods you in truth want, the so called “forbidden foods” that established weight loss plans have you steer clear of. It is a natural progress to want what you can’t have and in the long run most persons cave in and overeat when they do. Instead of denying yourself, you must make peace with the feed and control your intake.

In Mindless Eating, Professor Brian Wansink outlines experiments he conducted showing that people eat more when they are distracted by TVs, phones, and even reading. Dr. McKenna agrees and proposes eating tardily and consciously savoring each bite.

Lastly when you do eat slowly, you are competent to listen your “inner thermostat” which lets you know you are full sooner and you may push away from the table faster. He dubbed it resigning from the “Clean Plate Club”.

To aid you through this routine and support you modify your eating patterns, I Can Make You Thin comes with a hypnosis CD where McKenna reinforces the conceptions of the book with relaxing visualizations and affirmations. For greatest or most complete or best possible effect, it is commended to listen to the hypnosis for at least two weeks.

By Terry M.
I have been using this supplement for about a month. I take three a day, one thirty minutes before each meal. I am eating much smaller portions, leaving leftovers I never left before! If the positive results continue (lost eighteen pounds), I will definitely reorder.
