4.0 out of 5 starsVariety of uses, great for skin, hair, and cooking!, February 10, 2013
Received this product VERY quickly, which I really liked. Used it immediately for cooking and it tasted great. Put on skin and hair like I have read online and although it was a tad oily on face, it cleaned off very easily. I soaked my hair in it about an hr. prior to showering. I recommend if you do this, you wash your hair twice with shampoo. It didn't come out the first time. I washed it once, got out and blow-dried my hair...I am a blonde so my roots looked extremely dark and hair laid flat. I had to shower again, but I have done it again since and it makes my hair very soft and smooth - just had to wash it more than once to make sure it all came out.
Overall bigger size than expected and fast shipping. Can't wait touseit for other things too
You look at
yourself in the mirror-and suddenly you know you need to lose some weight. All
that comfort food has left you with an ever expanding waistline and watching
all those television shows has made it worse. No exercise and too much food-you
need to lose about 10 pounds NOW!!
It’s a sad fact that you can’t lose the pounds as easily as
you put them on. Many of the extreme diet programs make you give up all the
foods you love like meat and chocolate. Either that or they insist that to lose10 pounds you need jog everywhere and leave your car at home, even if its
miles.
Of course if you need to lose
those ten pounds in a matter of days some extreme measures may need to be taken
but most people will take more time to reach their goal. In this case not only
a change in diet is necessary but also a change in lifestyle. You must inculcate more healthy habits in
your daily routine so that a smooth transition can be made into that new
lifestyle. Over a period of time the situation should be that you don’t notice
the changes in diet or exercise because they have become part of your new life.
Of course all this take effort and willpower and
you need to make sure trying tolose those ten poundsdoesn’t rule your life.
By taking time and getting the diet and exercise that is right for you the
incentive will be to keep the weight off forever and will, in turn, give you a
satisfying new lifestyle.
Start right now by looking at your day to day
activities. For instance, what can you do to get more exercise? Could you walk
or cycle with the children to school? That would benefit the family; it would
save on fuel bills and lessen pollution. Finding active alternatives to driving
is good exercise and will help you lose the 10 pounds forever.
You could increase your exercise routine by
walking round the block during your lunch hour and by using the stairs instead
of the elevator. After a while you may want to increase your physical
activities by joining a sports club of some description or by going for long
walks in the woods or countryside. This will do you good and encourage the
whole family to become fitter. Find activities that you really enjoy so
the exercise turns into entertainment- something you really enjoy doing.
Changing your life to lose 10 pounds doesn't have to be
drastic and who knows it could be really enjoyable and give you a completely
new and satisfying lifestyle.

This works extremely better than most of the expensive creams,i had a very damaged skin with deep wrinkles specially on my forehead now its almost all gone within 3 months of using it.
5.0 out of 5 starsCrazy good serum, at a fraction of the price!, November 5, 2012
If you use retin-a, this stuff will make your skin thicken up, and be much stronger. It makes your face look radiant, and is SOOOO much cheaper than the name brand version, while containing the same ingredients. Great product, will continue to buy forever. You can't beat the semi-glowing-tanned look without hurting your skin from tanning. Everything looks healthier when I use this every morning under my sunscreen.
5.0 out of 5 starsBeauty without the cost!, October 29, 2012
I have been using this product along with hyaluronic acid post microneedling and my skin is glowing! The product stings when applied after the treatment since its acidic and microneedling just created micropunctures on the skin. I can tolerate this discomfort better than facialsthough because I have control of the process. I have always gotten compliments on my skin but using this product has definitely made my skin lookinghealthier, glowy, non-greasy and supple. I wish I had started using this sooner.

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
If you've been a yo-yo dieter for years or if you can eat a pound of pasta at one sitting, this book may very well be an eye opener. In simple--but never condescending--language, it explains the roots of carbohydrate cravings and teaches you how to normalize your insulin levels to prevent future food binges. Regulated insulin levels in turn help to temper serotonin levels, so food cravings and mood swings are prevented. The authors, both research scientists (one a health psychologist, the other a pathologist), have lost and kept off a total of 200 pounds between them. They've based this book on nearly a decade's worth of research, during which they've helped nearly 80 percent of their patients lose weight and keep it off for at least a year.They explain that carbohydrate addicts most commonly crave popcorn, breads, bagels, rice, pasta, potatoes, ice cream, chocolate, pie, cookies, crackers, cake, fruit and fruit juice, potato chips, and pretzels. A questionnaire at the beginning of the book determines if you're indeed a carbohydrate addict, and if so, to what extent. (For those readers whose quiz doesn't indicate addiction, but who are bothered by their food cravings, the authors recommend a doctor's visit for an explanation.) The book includes a diet plan with dozens of easy recipes, a chart of the carbohydrate content of many common foods, and lists of binge triggers to watch for. The most appealing part of the diet--and one reason that it wins raves from its followers--is its once-a-day reward meal, which allows you to eat anything you want. The authors also offer helpful tips for incorporating the diet away from home, such as at parties and restaurants.
I read the book entirely in one sitting, the very night I bought it. Then I studied it at length many times, highlighting, making notes in the margins. As a registered nurse, I learned a lot from the references to their research, and their detailed explanation of hyperinsulinemia. They have over 100 references, and 10 years or more in research of this disorder. It was as though a veil had been lifted and I suddenly understood that my condition is physiological, NOT psychological! I have found a new beginning. I know many doctors who recommend this diet for weight loss, depression, high blood pressure, pre-diabetic conditions, high cholesterol. I cannot diagnose myself, but I know it is working for me. I have been on the diet for 6 months and have lost 62 lbs! I don't weigh and measure, count calories, or deprive myself of any of my favorite foods. I feel better, no cravings, and I have more energy than ever! and above all, I am only 18 lbs away from my goal...6 months ago I would NEVER have thought it possible. Give it a try, and follow the 4 rules...you will succeed.
