Tony's Losing It

GlaxoSmithKline is preparing to launch the first over-the-counter diet pill to be approved by the FDA. The drug is scheduled to hit the market next month and will be called alli.

The marketing for this drug will include the message that you must diet and exercise to get the affect of this pill. We all are looking for the magic pill, this isn’t it, but they aren’t marketing it as a magic pill either. What the pill does is block the fat from entering your system, with some rather unfortunate side effects if you take in conjunction with a high-fat diet. Apparently the studies show that you could lose a few extra pounds for every five pounds you would normally lose through diet and exercise.

If this is the way alli works, sign me up for a trial pack! It’s a bit costly, but anything within the business of weight loss is. This might be something really worth watching.

Check out the following CNN article for more info including those side effects:

Thanks to my wife, Julie who pointed this one out to me.
There has been a study conducted about a new product designed by the Mayo Clinic. The Treadmill Desk would allow someone to lose up to 66 lbs per year just by walking while you work.

Check out the link below for a picture and the details about the study.

Hey, this one is going to be posted before mid-morning.

Bit of an overview of the weekend and some of the little struggles I made for the choices presented to me this weekend.

I’m looking forward to Boot Camp this afternoon and then on Thursday.

This looks like an insanely easy snack, and one that I will try tonight. I’ll report on my results in tomorrow’s podcast.
In the future, I’ll sample the recipes before featuring them.

I found this treat at Recipezaar.com. I’m not sure that I like their interface, but the filtering options are great!

Sliced oranges topped with cinnamon, optionally you can add apples to the mix to! The recipe makes two servings at 70 calories each.

Check out the link to get the recipe:

A research study from the Archives of Internal Medicine’s current issue has published the results of a one year study that finds advice from internet-based sources work as well as those from printed sources in getting sedentary adults to begin a regular exercise program. The published study is available for a fee from the Archives of Internal Medicine’s website.

Posted the same day as 000, but recorded earlier today.

Today is recovery day from Boot Camp. Still a bit sore and the headache has waned without the aid of Ibuprofen.

Not much to add that’s not in the show.

Well, if you’re reading this, you’ve made it to my little corner of the ‘intarwebz’. I’m going to be posting a Zero Episode shortly. I recorded it a few days ago, before the site was operational. The only reason I still haven’t posted it is because I’m expecting an intro produced by the Fantabulous Michael R. Mennenga any day now. It’s not Mike I’m waiting on though. The intro features a few other folks from my FarPoint Media family.

If you are anxious to find out what this is all about, feel free to drop me a line at Tony’sLosingIt@gmail.com (drop the apostrophe). If you are a bit more patient, I hope that the Zero episode will fill in any blanks.

Thanks for stopping by!
