30 Day Weight Loss Challenge……Healthy Curb
Edited to say: This is my 100th Post! Help….I’ve fallen and I can’t shut up! 
Ok, folks…..it’s Challenge Time!
A few days ago, I was asked to do a 30 Day Weight Loss Challenge using a supplement called Healthy Curb with NT Factor. My first thought was….diet pills? No thanks. I envisioned being hopped up on herbs and stimulants and as fun as that might be for some people, that’s just not my bag, baby.
However, I am very curious by nature and decided to look through the information and found that Healthy Curb is completely safe, made entirely from food, with no caffeine, stimulants, or herbs of any kind. It won’t keep me awake at night (unlike my children), give me a racing heart, jitters, and it doesn’t interact with medications. It is also gluten free and contains probiotics which are a primary concern for me due to having Celiac’s Disease.
So, ok, now I’m interested. What exactly is Healthy Curb? It is a supplement made entirely from food and food extracts. It contains 500 mg. each of NT Factor (their proprietary formula for cell repair) and White Kidney Bean Extract which together regulates appetite and metabolism on a cellular level and blocks simple starches in the diet. They have done several clinical studies. They have even tested the product on people WITHOUT having them make any changes to their diet/exercise routine. The participants lost an average of 2″ around the waist, 1″ off the hips, reduced their appetites by 44%, all had increased energy, and 63% of the participants lost an average of 6 pounds in 60 days without dieting. The physicians behind this supplement certainly do believe that diet and exercise are an integral part in the success of any weight loss plan but it is nice to see that they tested this product solely on its own merit.
They are so confident in their product that they are providing me with a 30 day supply for review purposes. They have not asked me to change my diet at all. This pill is designed to fix my hunger hormones and improve my digestion. They want me to blog about it while I’m taking it. If I like it and it helps me, they know that is the best kind of testimonial. If it works for me they know I’m going to tell you about it. If it doesn’t work for me, they know I’m going to tell that too. They are so sure that they have a great product that they are putting themselves out there to be tested. Soon, they will be providing me with a discount code for my readers. Please know that I receive no monetary benefit whatsoever if you buy it. I’m simply using their provided sample and blogging honestly about my experience. I will be provided with samples for as long as I choose to continue to take this supplement and blog about it.
So, check out their website when you get a chance and let me know what you think. I really hope it will help with my energy levels which have dropped greatly the past few weeks. My appetite with Jorge’s Belly Fat Cure is already suppressed but I can still use all the help in that area that I can get. In addition, I’m stalled at this set point so if Healthy Curb can get the scale moving again, I’ll be thrilled!
I will be taking two tablets 20 minutes before each meal. I took my first two tablets today before lunch and so far so good. I haven’t grown a third arm or anything! However….wouldn’t a third arm be nice? I could get so much done! All joking aside, I’m really looking forward to seeing how this supplement works.
The jury is out, let’s see how things go over the next 30 days!

As Dr. R discussed in this week’s Food Curb video, there are two hormones that play important roles in controlling your hunger: leptin and ghrelin. Leptin is produced by the body’s fat cells and travels to the brain to pass the message that you are satiated and no longer hungry. Ghrelin is produced by the stomach and travels to the brain when you are hungry. For most people leptin and ghrelin work together to tell the brain when the body needs fuel, or food.
A workout regimen combining cardiovascular activity with some additional weight training is always the best way to burn calories, but fitting a workout into an already hectic schedule can be difficult to do. Today we’ll be sharing with you some everyday activities that burn calories and won’t cut into you daily schedule.
When we think about losing weight and leading a healthy life, two things come to mind: diet and exercise. Both are equally important and integral to a long and healthy life. Unfortunately, when we think exercise, our minds are limited to picturing a treadmill or perhaps even an elliptical. Cardiovascular or aerobic exercise is a great way to burn calories, and weight training is the key to developing muscles that will keep you in shape for life.
