Answer 1

Read the South Beach Diet book. Don't diet. Don't take pills. Learn to eat right always. Learn to exercise always. Change your life for a permanent solution.

Starting today, cut Potatoes out of your diet completely. That means, NO french fries, NO baked potato, NO potato chips. NONE.

Then, No more than a half-slice of bread per day. PERIOD. Never more than a half. (Go with Whole wheat or multi-grain).

Get back to reading the South Beach Diet book, and learn about eating more FIBER in your food. But go Natural, not additives.

Answer 2

Well as you can see the consensus is that diet pills are not the answer. If you read the label on most diet pills you will see a statement to the effect of "combine with proper diet and exercise"

Most diet pills fall into one of three catagories
a) Appetite Supressant
b) Metabolism Booster
c) Combination of a & b

So lets look at how you can achieve the same without a diet pill.
First the Appetite, if you eat more smaller healthy meals you won't be hungry and wont need an appetite supressant
Metabolism Boost - See above, eating 5 or 6 small meals a day will keep your metabolism running at a higher rate throughout the day, add some exercise and really get things going. The more lean muscle mass you have, the more calories you will burn at rest.

The hardest part of the above answer is the eating. How to know how much is enough, and still meet all your daily nutritional needs. There is an easy answer to this. Buy and drink the best Nutritonal Meal Replacement Beverages you can find. THese are formulated to provide your body with the things it needs, like Vitamins, Minerals, Protien, Fiber, Herbs without lots of extra calories or fat.

I did this and lost 30 pounds in 3 months, it was great. 2 years later and I have not gained any of the weight back

Hope this helps

Answer 3

everyone says they're not the answer. I DON'T.

I take PHENTREMINE AND LOST 43 POUNDS. Lost 7 the 1st week and 5 per week thereafter. I get it thru my doctor. I take two 27.5 mg daily (that's the max strength) because my doctor knows my body can handle it. I now weigh 116 pounds and am 5'6". I feel good in a bikini.

Last year I ate only 1000 cal per day and jogged 5 miles a day and took no diet aids. I only lost 1/2 to 1 pound a week and some weeks wouldn't drop any weight! I stuck to it for 10 months for a grand total loss of 20 pounds and I didn't look any different. I was soooo discouraged!

This January for my resolution, I tried dropping weight again by taking Phentremine. It killed my appetite completely, so I only wanted to eat minimal amounts of healthy food, and didn't even exercise at all. It worked!

Ephedra works to, but is banned because people abused the recommended dosage. The people who died had pre-exhisting heart problems and took too much. (just like you can die from overdosing on tylenol)

For over the counter weight loss, HOODIA is the bomb, but only available thru the website, I'll edit this and add the link when I find it.

Good luck! Do the Phentremine (it's one of the "Phen's" in Phen-Phen.

Answer 4

Diet pills are supposed to destroy metabolism. All medications have a sling shot effect. If you have no problems sleeping, just take sleeping pills for a few weeks and stop. You will have trouble getting to sleep.

It is mostly NOT your fault, that you need to lose weight. The way you have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) soon surpassing hunger and infectious disease. So you are a victim of this pandemic (epidemic).

You need to re-learn how to eat. Learn everything on site below so you can understand how food and exercise affects your body. Do this and you can be thin. Do this not, and you will remain part of the biggest pandemic in all of history. Due to this pandemic, for the first time in 100 years, the children of Americans have a lower life expectancy than their parents.

Answer 5

I tried Hoodia and......
Hoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects.
Check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.

For all you doubters, here is the prior feedback for another Answers user who followed my advice:

very good comment i lost 2 lbs in a week
i think i can almost get in my leather dress, i can hit the town in no time


**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF ---

#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!

#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!

#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.

#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!

Hoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa.
Hoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times.

Answer 6

Diet pills are not the answer. You need a lifestyle change, not a diet. Whynot try a cleanse? Look up ionix supreme on the internet. Ionix supreme is a cleanse to get rid of toxins in the body. There is also a nine day, as well as a 30 day cleanse which includes the ionix supreme. You will only lose weight if your body has weight to lose.

Answer 7

Diet pills are not the answer. No diet pill is good for you. You need to start a diet and exercise program where your body can lose weight in a healthy manner. There is no magic pill that will result in weight loss. Exercise and proper nutrition are the key.

Answer 8

instead of pills try this, eat less food more often, instead of 3 big meals eat 6 small meals then you wont feel lifeless after eating and you can burn off the wieght faster

Answer 9

hi :) am not sure whats available in the markets...but, this is what i did to lose weight... and as general info... PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS... pills are nothing but anorectic agents... they make you feel less hungry... there is no way to loose weight fast... though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly... it has to be combined with diet and excercise... pills are very bad in the long run...

Also... Dont try short term diets...short term diets are no good because , they terribly pull down your body metabolism rate since you dont eat much during that period ... Because of this , once you break your diet , you'll start putting on more weight, the reduced body metabolism will take longer and slower to burn the food you take in...

They also dont work because once you break your diet and start eating normally, you will get back to your normal weight as you might not be cautious as to how many cals you take in per day...


i lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...

just dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...

i'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)

the trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)

what you should cut down :
oil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...

vegetables / meat to avoid :
potatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...

fruits to avoid :
mangoes , bananas , jackfruit


now that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)

here they come :)

fast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...

its best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...


my diet...
breakfast:

skimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something... Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet...

and try cereal in the mornings... oats, weetabix... etc... have a good breakfast...alwaays use brown bread... whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction...


for lunch , we are staple rice eaters... rice is bad for fat reduction... but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed... everyone takes rice here... so... rice - one cup - 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil... all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday... that would be just for seasoning... also using olive oil helps a lot...


then for dinner... compulsarily have wheat... pasta is a good option...but make sure you buy wheat pasta... check before buying... and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces... some varities of sauces are acceptable... as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general... you can use tomato spicy sauces etc... make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 - 3 spoons per day... (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course... eat a lot of fruits and vegetables... and all kinds of cereal... if you are hungry... eat a fruit... or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice... but no puffed corn... corn products again put on weight...


eat sandwiches as much as possible... i dont know which part of the world you are from and hence cant suggest much for you in terms of recepies...

and combined with dieting... you need to excercise for atleast an hour everyday... you'll see the difference...defenitely... if you think gym is boring... take up dance classes... or run along the beach... if you have one... or skate... or just about any physical activity... brisk walking will also help...
the key is to stay healthy while you diet and lose weight...

drink loads of water...atleast 6 glasses per day... and do a lot of physical activity.... take the stairwy instead of the lift.... and small things like that...
if you have any more queries...mail me... cheers :) and good luck :) its not difficult...you'll get used to it in a few days... and of course the results are fab:) who doesnt want a great looking body...

you can get back to your normal lifestyle once you slim down... after that... its just eating what you like and burning it out the next day with just a little bit of excercise :) also check your weight everyday... its a great way to motivate and monitor your progres :)
