1 am 3 stone overweight and have just bought stimerex-es weight loss tablets . anyone tried them ,do they work

Answer 1

It is very doubtful a slimming tablet will do anything for you.

You will need to diet:

For breakfast I have firstly a danone actimel (low fat strawberry) then 2 tbls of low fat greek yogurt (get one of those big pots for the week) half a bananna chopped a sprinkle of mixed seeds and 5 almonds and eat that all together in a bowl as you would cereal. and a cup of green tea.

I don't have a set lunch, I just eat portions of different fruit and veg throughout the day such as: a carrot (loads of vitamin a) apple, a stick of celery, a tomato, pepper, sharon fruit, melon, grapes. I usually have about 3 different ones throughout the day, but if its celery youre eating you can eat more of this if you wish as its not got many calories. A portion is the palm of your hand not including fingers. (I always eat with portions this size hence half the bananna for breakfast.) If you get hungry eat another five almonds as protein is more filling than carbs etc.

for dinner I usually eat a mixed salad (e.g. 1/4 pepper, 1 stick of celery chopped, 5 cherry tomatos, 5 olives, 3 inches of cucumber sliced in strips, 5 silverskin pickled onions) a portion of boiled new potatos and a portion of protein (i have fish: salmon, cod etc grilled or tinned tuna/salmon or grilled chicken.

I never eat more than 1000 calories a day. Never cook with oils of any kind, NEVER add any salt or salad dressings etc. Eat the food as it comes, foods that have grown and lived, not been created or changed.

I drink about 5 cups of green tea a day and drink about 1litre of bottled water on top of that. It is important to drink lots to keep body hydrated and not to confuse thirst for hunger.

I take supplements (pills) after a meal in the evening such as:
vitamins and minerals (including iron, very important)
odourless garlic
cod liver oil with calcium
and evening primrose oil

Most people eat too much cholesterol, not enough iron of calcium. Make sure you get all your daily nutrients!

A website I use to monitor what I eat is www.nutridiary.com it is very good and has a lot of information as you log your food, weight, measurements and it records all this for you. It's like a food diary, tedious it may sound, but to be successful in your diet you must be organised and plan what you eat.

Ok, so that's the diet bit sorted... obviously if you have allergies to any of the above or are vegetarian or dont like them, dont eat them!

And for exercise:

I do cheat a little as I have a slendertone flex belt I got on ebay for £25, it is very effective and does help a LOT! Get one! I do those cruches where you lie on your back and bring opposite elbow to knee then the other. Do about 50 of them in one go, quite fast though, don't take too long to do one crunch. I have a twist and shape stepper I got from boots in sale for £23.32, it is very good value for money and works just as well as the brand name 'Lateral Thigh Trainer'. I do 30 minutes on there and really build up a sweat. I have a fitness dvd called '28 day total body plan' by joanna hall, which i got for free with a health magazine. All it is, is a combination or cardio and body toning which you can do standing up with no equipment! I do that for 30 minutes when I do that. And the final exercise I do is lifting weights, I have some dumbells at home... if you get some dont get the really light ones, get about 5kg. I do the weights as muscle burns more calories than fat, even when not exercising - which is increasing your metabolism. Typically I do 30mins on my stepper, the weights until my arms are weak and cant lift any more, I do about 8 reps and then do the crunches. I wear my toning belt for about 1 hour a day at least. I do the exercise dvd if I have the time, about once a week.

So there you have it. I don't like going to the gym because it takes too long for me to get there, easier doing it from home.

I have done this for about 2 and a half weeks now and have lost 9lbs... so if you really want results you have to stick to it and be focused and organised.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Those diet tablets can do more damage - they are not natural - think about it - if they allow you to eat what you like, yet you still loose weight, then that CANNOT be good for you.

And any results will only be temporary while you are on the tablets. They could be doing long term damage to your organs.

Try a weightloss programme like weightwatchers which has worked for me. Tablets are NOT the answer.

If you are on the tablets, you are more likely to actually eat MORE rubbish as you'll mentally say to yourself that you can get away with it because the tablets are there. 1-3 stone is not medically obese so tablets are even MORE likely to do more harm. They are only suitable for very obese people who have 40%+ opf their body weight to lose.

Choose a healthy lifestyle change, not a quick fix. Take care of yourself.

Answer 3

I bought pills before, they didnt work unfortunately, also just been offered through the post Linea 7. The strange thing was there was no phone number or website available so didnt bother. My weight fluctuates all the time, I dont eat that much really, even if I eat fruit and keep to a healthy diet still stay the same and that is with 30 min a day exercise. My office is three flights of stairs up and always use the stairs, still no difference. I know its frustrating and simpathize with you.

Answer 4

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Answer 5

The reason you're overweight is because you're consuming more calories than you're burning off. Get to the gym, reduce your fatty intake and you'll be much healthier for it. Forget quick fixes. You'll pile it all back on again.
It's time for you to make a serious lifestyle change.

Good luck.
