Please don't touch pills. Listen if you are doing really good then there is a chance you can't do any better without causing yourself harm.

And I actually know what I'm talking about. I eat very well, exercise a lot (ten hours a week)

I had very little weight to lose (about ten lbs of fat needed to go, strictly love handles and a bit of a beer belly) everything else was great. So I started first by eating well. All bread, pasta or rice is all whole grain now (much easier for the body to break down) and I do not have any after lunch.

I also stopped eating red meat, I still eat it if I go out or as a treat but do not eat it at home anymore. Dinner, is always fish, or boneless skinless chicken breast and two servings of veggies (usually cauliflower or broccoli) no potatoes ever at home. As I said no pasta or rice at dinner. I do mix of the flavor of my fish or chicken daily, gotten very good with spices.

Breakfast is always eaten, every day, and always a no sugar cereal (Special K usually) with fruit or oatmeal. No toast.

Lunch is where I have a little fun. Sometimes a turkey chili (very good for you), or a salad with salsa and tuna, or a fresh chicken breast (or tuna salad with hot mustard and a little light miracle whip) sandwich (only one) on whole grain bread with salsa, and lettuce. And then some fruit around 3pm.

Number one rule, never eat 3 hours before you go to sleep. That is the best thing you can do. Stick to this one, I have a note on my fridge to remind me, but now it's become a habit to not eat after 9pm (that is the time I use, cause I go to bed at midnight).

So for a night time snack you need something with lo carbs and lo sugar (carbs and sugar in your body are the same things). So mixed nuts are good and light popcorn is ok to.

And then I work out as I said 10 hours a week. Monday, Wednesday, Friday is about an hour and 15 minutes of weights (doesn't have to be heavy weights, weights will only make you bulky if you use heavy ones).

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday is 40 minutes of cardio (stairs, shadow boxing, what ever) with my heart rate between 65 to 80 % of my Max heart rate (yes I have a heart rate monitor) . Also on these same days I do 1 hour of Tae Kwon Do. I have all this in a spread sheet to track everything. I also have it in my Outlook calendar to remind me to do it.

It's work. But is it ever worth it. Each of my set routines are 24 days (Just over 3 weeks). You set small goals for each routine, my first goal was to lose 1 inch. Hey that has to be easy in 24 days, if you eat right and follow your work outs. I started seeing differences only about 2 weeks in. And after the first 24 day routine, I lost 10 pounds and almost 2 inches.

I've been told those supposed herbal pills are something to stay away from... By my doctor and by friends and family.

I've tried a couple of diet pills and i've also tried the Jamieson Diet Rescue. I would not recommend using them on a regular basis since they are not intended to make you lose weight. They are an all natural product that prevent the body converting carbs to sugars. Remember its always important to eat right and exercise. For myself I only use the pills as a supplement when I want to splurge on a big meal or enjoy dessert without the guilt! If you're concerned about the ingredients check out their website www.jamieson.com. Hope this helps you out.

Hiya nataliahersey... Welcome!

Thanks for the info. But I have to agree with Bob. Touching those pills won't do you any good. If you really want to lose weight, keep on a stable diet! It takes hard work.

It is hard work, I like my just over two inches and now 12 lbs in around 30 days, plus all the other good side effects, better muscle tone, improved cardio stamina etc.

Hi,

It is not a problem to lose weight as its not a lot. You can go for short time consumption for diet pills afetr a consultation with your doctor. You can get some tips to use Xenical for a short time to lose weight here:

http://www.pillslim.com/xenical.html

Also i am giving some thing for your knowledge:

"Approval has been given for the weight-loss drug Xenical (Orlistat) to be sold by pharmacists without a prescription from a doctor. New Zealand is the second country in the world after Australia to approve pharmacist sale of this product.The Medicines Classification Committee (MCC) has approved the application from the pharmaceutical company to have the drug Orlistat (Xenical) reclassified from a prescription-only medicine to a restricted medicine."

I thinx if you are going for pills, you should consult first for even xenical.

The ephedrine+caffeine+aspirin stack works pretty good due to synergism. It's not good for you though. Dexedrine works great for killing your appetite if you know someone who as ADD to get it from.

Get a bottle of ephedrine 8mg, a bottle of caffeine 100mg and a standard bottle of aspirin, take 3 ephedrine pills, 2 caffeine, and 2 aspirin twice daily. Take some Dexedrine on top of that if you can.

You will drop about 40 lbs in a month if you survive.

First, never trust advice from anyone at a health food store or the labels on the products. Their job is to sell the product, not take care of your health, so be suspicious. And go look at this: http://www.quackwatch.org/01Quackery...hfsadvice.html

Second, anything that'll really block your body from absorbing fat from food must have some pretty potent metabolic effects. I doubt that it works, but if it does, it's gotta be nasty stuff. Blocking one of your body's basic biochemical processes is major interference in how your systems work. I wouldn't touch it.

Third, the only reliable way to lose weight is some combination of eating better and exercising more, which you're already doing, and that's all you need to do. Pigging out once in a while isn't going to make any real difference, you don't need to take any special steps afterwards. Just keep doing what you're doing. It works, and has no side effects.

Hi,

I think it is not safer to take. but if you have decided to offer some diet pills for you to lose weight than it is necessary to give you some suggestion regarding diet pills. As major diet pills have their own side effects so pripor to taking any diet pills, always contact your family doctor first then started taking diet pills.

also plz verify all information regarding diet pill you take.

thanks

I have to lose 15 pounds. I can't believe I gained 20 pounds since I got married.

BTW I've taken those pills and they don't seem to work very well.

Gosh stimulants are scarey tools I would say.. I wouldn't touch diet pills.. they are just too risky.. Have any of you heard about the Isagenix System>? amazing to say the least.. I did a 9 day system and I lost 8 lbs and 3 inches!! I felt totally great, energy over the moon, and my cravings for sugars were a thing of the past...
you can check it out.. http://www.cleanseforbodypurity.com this is real.. and the best part about this.. It isn't a Diet... it is a cleansing, detoxifying system... Amazing results for everyone...

What do we have if we don't have our health>?
Good Luck with your choices... just be very careful at what you choose..
