Did you check out "Cortaslim", I think its called. A capsule that is supposed to be effective in repressing the hormone associated to the stress syndrome related to hunger?
Chairboy,
Ok... stop this insane talk buddy. Cortislim is a good product as well as some others. btw... are you bound to a wheelchair? is that why it's Chairboy? If not, start moving your body. Hell, I'll send you all the Taebo tapes you need if you get to the point where you can handle them. The point is, you're gonna waste that money because you're not solving the problem, just dealing with a symptom. Decreasing the size of your stomach,in this manner, doesn't keep you from stretching it out again. You're going to have to have the same willpower later and you'll save 18K. and not risk your life.
You can also go on "The Zone" diet. My dad lost 100lbs on that in a year and swears by it. My 83 yr old grandmother too. Also an ex girlfriend.
Cortislim inhibits the chemical reaction that creates Cortisol that tells your body to eat and store fat. basically, it will allow you to eat when you are truly hungry but NOT create the desire when you are stressed.
Excercise. I sell infomercial products. It is required, by law, to state that a person CANNOT lose weight in a healthy manner without proper diet and excercise. There are no miracle cures. You will need to have the same willpower later that it will take now. Period.
When you talk about energy, here's something to think about. The more you work your muscles, the more effecient they are in moving and using energy. Not only does it take less energy to move a 150lb guy than it takes to move a 250 lb guy, but if the lighter guy has more effecient muscles, he is burning even less energy. Also, different foods and combinations of foods in your stomach take different degrees of energy to process. If you eat a lot of grains, you are pulling a huge amount of energy from other systems of your body to get that digested. Think about it.... Grain has evolved to be very rot proof. It has to survive, in the wet ground, through winter and intact, to be useful in the spring. And what is your stomach? It's a rot pot! So your stomach has a problem processing grains so it pulls energy from other systems like... your brain (after a starchy meal we get tired right?) to be able to produce enough digestive fluids to take care of business... btw your stomach is on a timetable to get food out of the stomach so that's why it does that ( about 3 hours). Also, mixing proteins and carbs create another problem..... it takes different digestive fluids to process these 2 foods. and guess what.... they dont mix! When your body is processing a protein and a carb at the same time... neither get processed properly (next time you do this, notice how much gas and bloating you experience). Even the energy created by the processing of these 2 foods together isn't very usable...
there's a lot better (and safer) ways to do this buddy. And in the long run.... it's gonna come down to less (and healthier) intake and excercise.
I've seen a lot of letters from people that not only are healthier, they are stronger willed people as well after conquring this my friend. You and your wife can do it.
