DietPower: My Favorite Weight Loss and Diet Tool
The biggest failure of most diet programs is that they assume that everyone who weighs a certain amount will lose weight at a particular calorie level. WRONG! You don't lose weight the same way as other people, because you have a unique metabolism. But there are many reasons -- your thyroid in particular -- that your rate may be different than what is average. So the standard calorie level, or a popular diet plan could cause you to GAIN weight -- or take in too little calories, so that you starve and your metabolism actually slows down! But there is a tool I use every day that can totally change that for you.

Is Splenda Really Splendid?
If you haven't seen the little yellow packets peeking out alongside their blue and pink friends at restaurants and coffee shops, you will soon. Sucralose (known by its brand name, Splenda) is making waves throughout the nation as the newest, hottest artificial sweetener. Is Splenda safe? Does it taste good? What foods are using it? Is it right for you?

Healthy Fries? Low-Glycemic Chocolate Mousse? Could it be Possible?
It's absolutely possible, if you're Jennifer Eloff, a fellow thyroid sufferer and dedicated low-carb cuisine designer, who has written a number of low-carb cookbooks. Find out how you can enjoy delicious foods like Buffalo Wings, Wholegrain Bread, Black Forest Cake, Brownies -- even a recipe for Homemade Chocolate Protein Bars.

Revving Up Your Metabolism -- Naturally!
Forget about the expensive diet pills and supplements out on the market that promise amazing weight loss, and increased metabolism. They don't work. You already have one of the most effective tools to raise metabolism right in your hands, and it doesn't cost a penny. Find out more about how thyroid patients can ensure a higher metabolism.

The Garlic Cure
If you take a bit of olive oil or butter, and add large amounts of garlic, you can pretty much sautee about anything -- shrimp, mushrooms, peppers, I don't care! -- and I'll think it's the best thing to eat the world. Many of you are, like me, garlic lovers simply because of the wonderful flavor. But lately, we're also finding out more about how garlic can help with a number of medical conditions and ailments. If you want to know everything there is to know about garlic -- and get more than 130 mouth-watering garlic recipes, you need to read "The Garlic Cure.

How to Restore Your Metabolism
If you have symptoms of hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, you'll want to read the Lowe's practical, easy-to-read and thorough guide. I've done a review of their book, Your Guide to Metabolic Health, Drs. Gina Honeyman-Lowe and John Lowe, which offers a treatment program, called "metabolic rehabilitation," that they feel can effectively treat as many as 85% of patients with these problems...
