Well, what if I told you that you could lose weight while only watching what you eat twice per week? B. Audience: Most of us have tried some sort of diet and failed. I’m sure we can all agree that dieting is not easy. C. Credibility: Over the last few months I have read several Internet articles and a book called The Fast Diet.

...therapy for weight loss. She is a size 20 and would like to be a size 16. In August she is invited to a wedding where she will give a speech and she wants to look very good (she understands that quick weight loss is not healthy, so she is happy if she would not be a size 16 in August, but approaching her goal gradually.) She is 14 stone (approx 88 kg) and 1.48 cm tall, BMI 40.2. She is diabetic, and has to eat regularly. She is a single mum with 2 teenage sons and often feels tired and stressed. She is a bit worried about the family’s finances. She works in a voluntary organisation too which she find very inspiring. INTRODUCTION and INITIAL CONSULTATION At the initial consultation I used my notation form and gathered as much relevant information as possible about Miss W. I examined her medical, family and life history, including her childhood and relationship history. I already had a good relationship with the client because she is a fellow student at the Chrysalis course. At the initial consultation I tried to deepen this good rapport by giving my full attention to her and practising active listening. I used positive sentences that were empowering to help Miss W to feel at ease. We ascertained her goal: she would like to lose weight gradually and be a size 16 instead of being a size 20. I explained her that the the safe weekly rate of weight loss is between 0.5 kg and 1 kg. That’s between around 1 lb and 2 lb a week. We assessed that for a safe and healthy weight loss she will...

...Diet Pills A lot of people start using Diet Pills with the idea to lose weight easy and fast. Due to the large amount of people overweight diet pills have become increasingly popular. People start using diet pills without thinking about the side effects of these pills and sometimes people just assumed they are good for our body. Diet pills can work as appetite suppressants because they trick our body into thinking we are full by decreasing brain chemicals that affect mood and appetite. They can also work as fat absorption by preventing the body from absorbing and break down fat. The fat is eliminated in bowel movement. The main issue with diet pills is how dangerous the ingredients they put in diet pills can damage our body. Diet pills are not as tightly regulated by the government as medications. Manufactures don’t need to prove to FDA that the pills are safe before they can sell it to consumers. Ingredients we need to avoid in our body are Ephedra which can cause irregular heartbeat, seizures, stroke or sudden death. Yohimbe is another ingredient known to cause irregular heartbeat, changes in blood pressure and heart attack. Comfrey is associated with liver toxicity which can cause liver failure. These are only a few of the ingredients we can find in diet pills and can cause major health problems. In general consumers had received reports of liver problems even including the death of a teenager due to the use of diet pills. Some of the side effects of the diet...

...Two Methods of Weight Loss For many people, weight loss is a challenge. This writer continues to struggle to lose weight, but recently lost 35 pounds from healthy eating and exercising. To achieve and maintain a healthy weight requires a lifestyle change of healthy eating and exercise, and for those with medical problems they may need to turn to other another method for assistance, like my friend Sarah who chose gastric bypass surgery.

However, some of us, teenagers, never have a great moment during high school. Some may have peer problems or probably some stress. Basically teenager’s life in high school is like a self survival in the Amazon forest. The teenagers in high school usually scared of the first day of school because it is that day that will decide your life throughout high school for the upcoming five years. It is whether you will be famous or anonymous, bullied or praised and happy or stressful. This sort of things is familiar to most teenagers. According to that, teenagers love to take their stress away through eating sweets or heavy food, exercises, meditation and forcing ourselves to laugh. You may wonder why laughing is included. Laughing has been the best medicine for stress overtime. Scientifically, when we laugh or scream, alpha waves from our brain is released, hence relieving our minds free of stress.

This leads to all sorts of health riskssuch as coronary heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea and many more. Furthermore, a research has shown that death rates from cancer were 52% higher in men and 62 % higher in women with excessive weight than in people with normal weight (Eugenia E. Calle 2003).

Based on the results from clinical trials, Metabical has been proven effective for weight loss of overweight people. The question is how willMetabicalbe introduced to the market? PULL MARKETING The main idea was to advertise Metabical directly to consumers in order to increase the awareness of the product. This strategy was based on pull marketing where the purpose was to attract the customers and make them approach the supplier or seller first. It is not an assertive way of marketing in comparison to push marketing where a seller calls potential customers on the telephone asking whether they would like to purchase a product they might not actually...
