I don't plan on working out at all -- I just need something to suppress my appetite and boost my metabolism. I'm only looking to loose 10 lbs at the most.... What do you suggest?

Tried all of those above...waste of money. I have lost 40 # in the past 3 months though...Learned to eat right. Eat something healthy every 3 hours between healthy meals....fresh foods only, no pre-packaged except brown rice. Nothing enriched, only whole grain. Example B-fast, yogurt and whole grain toast with real butter. 3 hours: granola bar (the hard type), 3 hours, hand full of nuts, lunch, frsh veggies raw, w/ dressing...and so on. Dinner, cook with Olive oil only, saute fresh veggies w/ garlic and herbs, boil in a bag brown rice, and grill some chicken. Drink only water...stay away from cola's (even diet) for a while...(Look into Mediterrainean cooking)...good luck...spend the pill money on real food. (If God didnt make it, don't eat it.) By eating every 3, you keep your metabolic engine running, and it really works. If your bosy thinks it's getting enough good food and water, it will stop storing it.

You should try to get in a little bit of cardio, as this will help boost your metabolism. Perhaps you can take a walk during lunch? Taking a diet pill will likely give you more energy that you can use to go on a walk.

None "work" because you will gain after you quit taking them. Try cutting out soda and you would be amazed at how much weight you could lose! I lost 25 lbs in 6 months.

Please do not try diet pills because they are not the long term answer and many can cause negative health effects.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.html

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/

A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Send me an email or yahoo instant message to "gainbetterhealth" if you want an indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have any questions.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
