well lets put it this way. if u want temporary weight loss than go for Herbal Magic or a similar weight loss clinic but to have permanent results and for it to be healthy.. it definitely just doesnt come over night. it is a change in lifestyle and it takes time. BUT as simple as it sounds it is hard and you must be determined. you have to start eating healthier and u must exercise. for example, if u are used to eating 2 hamburgers at diner try for 1 or even 1 in a half just to get u going. or if u only exercise once a week try maybe 3 times. Just take little steps and eventually u will feel better and look better.
a couple tips:
- drink lots of water to boost your metabolism
- find some form of physical activity u enjoy so u wont find "exercise" a drag
- exercise on an empty stomach
good luck! :)

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
Get started today!

All you have to do is shift to a healthy kind of living..
i.e. 3 full meals, with 2 snacks.. dinner should be very light. no junk.. some excercise and you will be able to go down one kilo a month.. without feeling deprived
