#roca labs

So today has been great. Feeling fantastic!!

I started this morning at 7:20 with my Roca Lab. It was pretty good. I made it with raspberry lemonade crystal light. Then it was off to work. I am a dispatcher for a construction service company which can get pretty stressful at times. Just trying to make sure concrete pours get covered on time is a tough job. Lol anyway I’ve always been a stress eater. But today i was good i didnt feel the urge to run to the vending machine to grab a candy bar.

I had a subway club for lunch today around 11:30. I bought a foot long split half with my sister and then was only able to eat half of my sandwich. Before i could have downed the entire sandwich by myself. Along with a bag of chips. But i was truly full after half of a half. Not just me telling my self that i was full.

Typed some reports then had a snack at 4:30. It was a mini 100 cal bag of popcorn.

Dinner i didnt do as well as i could have. I went with the fam to $1 taco night. Let me tell you my main weakness is chips and salsa. I eat quite a few before the tacos got to the table. I only ordered 2 tacos instead of the normal 3. I felt really really full. I could tell i eat way to much. But it was so good.

I did weigh myself when i got home and it said 215. Its crazy 3 pounds already.

★ I am going to SHOCK everyone ★

I want to be HEALTHY. I want the LOOKS. I am tried of wasting money on doctors and drugs. I want to earn more. I want to be HAPPIER. I want more FRIENDS. I want to be appreciated.

I CAN HAVE MOVE OF LIFE. I DESERVE MORE.

I am serious about my weight. I am going to change my life. I am not waiting for a "new year resolution"... again. I am starting NOW. I am ready.

I am starting by saying that, for me, "OBESITY IS UNHEALTHY & UGLY" and that means that I do not accept being fat any longer. I am taking charge of my body and life starting TODAY. I am eating ‪#‎HEALTHY‬, low calorie foods and much less and ‪#‎RocaLabs‬ Gastric Bypass NO Surgery will help me. I can manage the cost of $4 a day which I will save by eating HALF.

(via Caffeine promotes cravings)

Caffeine promotes cravings and is not good for healthy weight. One cup of coffee contains between 100-250 milligrams of caffeine. Black tea (steeped for four minutes) has between 40-100 milligrams of caffeine, and green tea has about one-third the caffeine of black tea.

Caffeine is a diuretic and an alkaloid, which means it increases urination, is metabolized in the liver and excreted through the kidney. The half life of caffeine in an adult is about three to four hours.

Regardless of how you get your caffeine fix, let’s look at its affect on hunger and energy levels. One study from Duke University suggests that caffeine often masks hunger and fatigue because it acts as a stimulant, providing a short-term boost in energy and alertness. However, using caffeine to compensate for poor sleeping and eating habits have long-term negative affects.

So what does this have to do with hunger? Consuming excessive amounts of caffeine (250-700 mg.) during the day can lead to anxiety, hypertension, insomnia and nervousness – all things that may trigger stress-related emotional eating. Why? Because excessive caffeine intake overstimulates the central nervous system, and the body responds by causing the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, which tells the body to increase its energy stores by consuming calories.

Additionally, caffeine may also increase hunger cravings because it stimulates insulin secretion, which reduces serum glucose (i.e. blood sugar), thus leading to increased increased hunger.

As always, it is up to you to weigh out your best options. Obviously, using caffeine to mask deficiencies in sleep or poor eating habits can’t be productive over the long-term, but a cup of tea or coffee may give you that extra boost you need to be more active.

Undergoing liposuction is a route that many individuals have considered. In spite of deciding whether to have it done, there are limits which should be considered before its undertaking. Younger individuals might like to undertake this procedure, however there are certain parameters that might not apply to them as of yet.

In spite of this, many parents are giving their consent to have their children undergo the procedure. Their reason is to prevent their child from developing an eating disorder, depression or any other sickness or disease that has been connected to being overweight.

The Easy Way

In this day and age, people are so used to taking the easy way out from a crisis or a situation that it is now the norm. Working for the end result is sometimes seen as a difficult task and something that is needless especially if there is already a short-cut to the goal. Many parents do not even try to encourage their children to go on a diet or try to exercise to lose weight.

Some teenagers on the other hand, are too lazy to even try to go on a diet or get some form of exercise. Liposuction is often seen as the means to an end when in reality, one does need to exercise and go on a diet to maintain the result of the procedure.

Another reason why doctors usually hesitate when it comes to teenagers getting this procedure is the psychological aspect of having this type of plastic surgery done to the patient. Teens are still too young to actually be able to decide and consider the consequences of such an endeavor.

While lipoplasty, another name for liposuction, is a relatively safe procedure, there are some risks and it can also be fatal when complications set in.

The Way to Go

There are times when the situation does call for lipoplasty even if the patient is still a teen. The decision to have any form of cosmetic surgery done is up to the patient and the parents of the minor.
