   • ANSWER:
     better ask it to some doctor!
     and if you really want to lose wight and fat then you should remember and do this:

     EVERYDAY RUN (WALK) + L-Carnitine + TAKE LESS CALORIES + LIPO-6 = 100% SUCCESS

     1) if you dint have then buy scales!!! that is the first thing to do!!

     2) run every 2 days for at least ~30 minutes or/and walk every day at least 5 km!

     3) L-Carnitine!!!

     L-Carnitine is a nutrient that helps the body turn fat into energy. It is produced by the body in the liver and kidneys and stored in the skeletal muscles, heart, brain, and sperm. Usually, the body can make all the carnitine it needs. Some people, however, may be deficient in carnitine because their bodies cannot make enough carnitine or transport it into tissues so it can be used. Some other conditions, such as angina or intermittent claudication, can also cause insufficient carnitine in the body, as can some medications.L-Carnitine is made in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It increases the use of fat as an energy source by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are ‘burned’ to release energy for body functions. It is available in several different forms including propionyl-L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine. Propionyl-L-carnitine, through its enhancement of metabolism has been proven to prevent ischemia-induced heart dysfunction, and acetyl-L-carnitine has been suggested to delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. L-carnitine is found naturally in avocados, breast milk, dairy products, red meats (namely lamb and beef), and tempeh (fermented soybean product).

     L-carnitine should be taken one hour before you will exercise! (Also you can take L-carnitine with meals or 1 to 1-1/2 hours after meals!)

     L-Carnitine boosts energy by stimulating the body's burning of tryglycerides as fuel, and sparing the supply of glycogen stored in the liver for heavier exertion. During exercise, the body will burn fat at a rate of 75-80% of maximum exertion, thus less glycogen from carbohydrates is burned. L-carnitine
     allows the body to burn more fat, save more glycogen, and ultimately boost stamina and endurance. By providing more fat to the muscles, carnitine makes accessible an otherwise unavailable energy source.

     FAT + OXYGEN + L-CARNITINE = ENERGY

     5) you MUST change your diet!! start to use products with less fat, less carbohydrates! start count your calories! do not eat more than ~2000 per day and if you feel that you can reduce this number then do it!

     because if you will use L-Carnitine - you will get calories from your body fat too!! so better is to eat 2kg fruits then 1 cheeseburger...
     and drink more and more water!! REMEMBER - NO rice, NO pasta, NO pork, NO mayonnaise, NO sweets, NO candies, NO alcohol!!!!!
     MORE fruits, vegetables!!!

     6) also you should use some fat-burner! I had tried many of them but only one worked for me as fast as I wanted to! it was Lipo-6! I lost ~80 pounds in 3 months! No starvation!! only LESS CALORIES + Lipo-6 + L-Carnitine + EVERYDAY RUN (WALK) = SUCCESS!!!

     I do not know if any store carry Lipo-6 but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.healthbuy.com/product/overview/lipo6_weight_loss/?aid=749165

     It worked for me and my wife!

     and this method is working for my friends too!!

     just try it and I guarantee you 100% that you will lose wight!!!

     good luck!!!

3. QUESTION:
   Question about weight loss and diet pills/supplements ?
   do all those diet pills/weight loss supplements really work???
   like acai berry, hydroxycut etc...

   ive been kinda "fighting " with my weight for over a year
   it started last year when i broke my neck and i was out of school for like almost 9-10 months

   i was a little depressed then so i lookd for comfort in food and i gain like 50-60 pounds
   i was 260 now im 210

   it took me over 7 months to lose that weight now i feel a lot better but i have had it enough with all those diets

   im 18 im 5'8 and as i said i weight 210 i would like to lose at least like 10-15 pounds more and i had enough of those diets
   im not a sporty/athletic kind of person i mean i like playing badminton and rollerblading but now in winter theres nothing to do

   i walk a lot

   so are those diest pills/supplements really good
   i mean from all those commercials it looks like its working or is it just brainwashing the people ??

   • ANSWER:
     It is brainwashing the masses! so NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     I would not take them!

     Most over the counter weight loss drugs may suppress hunger and increase your metabolism; however, this only works while you are on them! Once you stop taking them, your weight will start to increase! THEREFORE, they do not equal weight loss!!!!!!! In addiction, those weight loss pills can become addictive!!!!!!!!!!!!

     Furthermore, they can cause serious health problems!!!!! For example, until like really recently ephedra was used in many weight loss drugs! In fact, Steve Bechler is a good example of this! He died after using weight loss drugs!

     Okay, let us say you are talking about like Stackers, Mini Thins, and Fat burners. You are probably thinking oh but this must be safe because they are "natural" WRONG!!! These things can be even more dangerous/deadly than prescription meds. because they aren't inspected for purity and accuracy of contents, as well as potency of the ingredients.

     The FDA has limited power to regulate these "diet supplements ect..."

     Okay if these isn't convincing enough:
     The dietary supplements can cause/are linked to strokes, heart attacks, hepatitis, headaches, anxiety, insominia...

     Other supplements have caused kidney damage, renal failure, kidney cancer..

     If that still isn't convincing enough, which I really really hope it is, those dietary supplements haven't been proven to effective in helping to lose weight!

     Well, I could go on and on!

     The point is, if you really want to lose weight and keep it off, the only true way is through eating healthy (limiting calories, limiting saturated and trans fats, ect...) and exercise!

     There are a lot of ways you can loss weight, which aren't healthy, and they are not going to lead to long term weight loss! However, the only thing that will result is in temporary weight loss, and you will probably gain even more weight back than you lost! And yo-yo dieting is more dangerous for you body than actually remaining overweight!!!

     I hope that you really read this, because taking those pills is not worth it!! With the chances of getting diseases/illness/addiction, with them not really working, it isn't worth it!!

     You say you like to walk, rollerblade, and play badminton! Participating in this activities are helping your physical fitness and are sporty too! I am sure you have a like a skating place somewhere, go there and skate! Or, you could use a gym at school.

     However, simply going for walks, playing badminto, rollerblading, and eating a healthy balanced diet will certainly help you lose weight! In addition, making sure you are not consuming more calories than you need for your activity level is key too!! Another key part to weight loss, is managing you stress level! You need to learn to cope with stress and to not let it build up!

     You can lose the weight! I know you can!! The hard part is just getting started on exercising and eating a balanced meal; however, once you start you will see improvements! However, using weight loss drugs is not going to help you; it will only lead to disappointment!

     You can do it the healthy way! I know you can; I have 100% faith in you!

     As John N commented you should only lose one to two pounds a week!! Listen to John N!!

     I just do not want to see you developing an illness from these drugs!

5. QUESTION:
   what are some over the counter weight loss/diet supplements? how well do they work with diet and exercise?

8. QUESTION:
   Can you recommend some good diet pills or diet supplements to speed up weight loss?
   I am looking for a safe, over the counter product that I can buy at a local drugstore. Please include any successes you have had if you tried the pills and or supplements.
   I do cardio workouts three times a week, as well as weight lifting.
   Please help!

   • ANSWER:
     I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

     Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

     First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...

     This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.

     However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

     Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

9. QUESTION:
   What is the best weight loss supplement/diet pill?
   Assuming someone is eating healthy and exercising, what is the best diet pill to aid in weight loss?
   As I said, I already do as much exercise as I can (long story) and actually eat below the recommended calories a day, and balanced meals. It's not a case of lack of exercise or improper eating habits.

   • ANSWER:
     anything with ephedra/ephedrine ...its outlawed now but you can still find it on websites such as sell.com...its the only thing that really works

10. QUESTION:
    Has anyone experienced with diets or weight loss supplements?
    Does anyone know of any diets or weight loss supplements that have worked for them?

    • ANSWER:
      Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.

      One of the healthiest weight loss diets is the DASH diet.

      The healthy DASH diet can help you lose weight safely and effectively, lower your cholesterol and lower your blood pressure.

      It is based on an eating plan rich in fruits and vegetables, and low-fat or non-fat dairy, with whole grains. It is a high fiber, low to moderate fat diet, and is rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

      You can see further details in a web search for "dash diet" + "lose weight".

11. QUESTION:
    How old do you have to be to buy weight loss drugs/supplements?
    I'm looking into buying some sort of diet or weight loss supplement but I don't know how old you have to be to buy them at the store. I live in Ohio if that matters.

    • ANSWER:
      Well, there are probably better ways than supplements. This program worked for me. Dropped pounds steadily and in a healthy way.
      hey good luck wahtever you do!

13. QUESTION:
    What is a Good Weight Loss Supplement to use with Diet?
    I am getting married in 6 weeks and would like to add a weight loss supplement to my diet and exercise routine. I follow a low-fat, low-calorie, high fiber diet (ie weight watchers) and exercise throughout the week. I see commercials for all different pills, but not sure which one would be good for me. I just want to maximize my weight loss in the weeks before my wedding. Ultimately, I would like to lose 10 lbs, please let me know what I can use to help accomplish this.

    • ANSWER:
      There are two all natural weight loss supplements that are safe and have no side effects. They are Cha de Bugre and Hoodia Gordonii.

      Cha de Bugre, is a new supplement that is growing in popularity and is similar to Ma Huang (Ephedrine) without any of the bad effects. Cha de Bugre is from Brazil and has been used there safely for centuries. Cha de Bugre provides energy, fat burning and appetite suppression that benefit weight loss. Cha de Bugre also has additional uses that are known in Brazil that include being used as a mild diuretic, a cellulite reducer, aides in reducing herpes simplex outbreaks and a heart tonic. You can find more about it at http://hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/cha_de_bugre.html

      Hoodia Gordonii is a natural appetite suppressant derived from a South African cactus that the bushmen have eaten there for thousands of years. You need to make sure you get a strong pure hoodia that is certified to be genuine. Check out Totalink's unbiased Hoodia comparison at http://hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/hoodia_comparison.html in the "Confidence" column it will indicate if the brand is "Certified". These Hoodia brands have the credentials to back up their product. Also in that column it will indicate if the brand is "Returnable". These Hoodia brands allow you to return opened bottles and get your money back. I think this indicates that a company has confidence in their product that it works.

      Keep in mind that Hoodia Gordonii alone provides appetite suppression but not fat burning. Cha de Bugre is a fat burner but not as good as hoodia with appetite suppression. There are also brands that mix Cha de Bugre with Hoodia Gordonii and other weight loss herbs like Green Tea that can increase both fat burning and appetite suppression.

      I have written a lot of articles on Hoodia. Just search Yahoo or Google under my name “Andrew Aitaken” to find them.

      Remember, you should always consult your physician before taking any diet pill or weight loss supplement.

14. QUESTION:
    What are some safe weight loss supplements that can be used with diet and exercise?
    I'm not looking for a magic pill that miraculously makes me lose weight. I am looking for something I can take along with diet and exercising that maybe can speed up the process or produce more results. Most importantly it should be safe, but also if possible, natural. I'm looking to lose around 15-20 pounds, just some weight I gained over summer. Please let me know any good recommendations, especially if you have tried it yourself.

    • ANSWER:
      You can try the following,

      *) Green Tea before workout to crank up your metabolism.
      *) L - Carnitine -> This helps in moving the hard fats to mitochondria and converts them to energy
      *) Fish oil -> Can be useful for skin and cardio
      *) Multivitamin -> Assuming that you are on a diet.
      *) I take Glucosamine sulphate for joint cartillages

      hope it helps

15. QUESTION:
    Diet and Exercise weight loss supplements??
    Has anyone used weight loss supplements such as Exenadrine EFX, Hydroxy cut, ect.? Do they really help you lose weight (combined with diet and exercise?)
    I am aware that diet changes and exercise are the primary ways to lose weight and I am doing that... the QUESTION is do the supplements help.... thank you...

    • ANSWER:
      I did and they gave me more energy, but they're expensive and made me shaky. I used regular dexitrim with green tee and it worked better for me and was cheaper. Try that out befor you make a big investiment. I dont know where you shop for at walmart for example, there a "womens type" diet pill section and a body building section (very close, but not the same) in the more mens body building section they had "Hot ROx" Its great for cutting fat, but you must work out with it. Try the dexitrim at first to get your cravigs down after you switch your diet, then switch after two weeks. It workd for me and i lost 40lbs!!! Good luck I recomend slowly adding exercise, so slight cardio three times a week. I warmed up on the treadmill for 5 then did a fast walk for 15 then cooled down. Make sure you have an elevated heart rate but can still speek a sentance..... after this for two weeks you'll feel much better then will be able to kick it up to maybe weights and more cardio buy then you'll be on the new pill. GOod luck

16. QUESTION:
    Best diet supplements for quick healthy weight loss?
    i have till march 11 to go from being 5'6 and 174lbs to atleast 150lbs. please!!
    also, i dont have a lot of free time considering i have a 2 year old and work full time.

    • ANSWER:
      No diet supplement will let you lose that, sorry. 24lbs are hard to shed, and you need at least 3 months if not more. I hate to be the barer of bad news, but its the truth.
      Dietary supplements are risky, and can often lead to blurred vision, headaches, hair loss, liver damage, numbness in the hands and difficulty walking. It can cause calcium deposits to build up, which can interfere with muscle function, including the heart muscle. These are only a few side affects. What I suggest is seeing a dietitian and establishing a diet plan. Drink plenty of water, cut out carbs, saturated fats, artificial sugars and full fat dairy. Exercise an hour a day, every day. You may lose 2lbs by March 11 if you are strict and specific.

17. QUESTION:
    coupons for weight loss products/diet pills/sports supplements?

    • ANSWER:

19. QUESTION:
    Can you take weight loss supplements and muscle building supplements in the same diet?
    or by taking both are you deafeating the point of them ?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you can take both.
      For best results, eat six times a day. Try balancing your meals 70% protein 30% carbs.

      Eat a combination of lean protein and healthy carbohydrates every few hours throughout the day to speed up fat loss and maintain stable energy levels.
      Eat your proteins from lean sources (Chicken, fish, boiled eggs, lean beef with all the fat drained off) and beans (lentil, lima, chile or any type of bean)

      For your carbs stay away from breads, pasta and rice. They do provide energy but they are high in calories. Choose leafy vegetables, carrots, raisins, broccoli and fresh fruits. Weight train intensely, three times per week on alternating days with aerobic exercise three times per week.

      Drink 10 to 20 glasses water per day NO SODA
      Good Luck !!!

21. QUESTION:
    What's a good diet supplement for weight loss in older women?

    • ANSWER:
      My personal opinion is that you could take Acai Berry, is being used to help people lose weight because it is able to control the appetite of its users and it also increases metabolism. When metabolism rates increase, the body is able to burn foods faster and it will also burn the fat that is already stored in the body. The body will also receive more energy with increased metabolism, allowing individuals that exercise with a more rewarding workout.
      The benefit that individuals receive when they use acai berry products is the influx of antioxidants. When a person has a diet that is high in antioxidants, they may notice that their body is better equipped to handle certain disease and sicknesses. The antioxidants help to repair cells that are damaged by the oxidation process that arises in the body. In addition, the body’s immune system is strengthened by the antioxidants.

24. QUESTION:
    Best diet pill/weight loss supplement out there?
    I work out 5-6 days a week and eat a very clean, healthy diet 6 days of the week (my 7th is a cheat day, but i don't go too crazy or stuff myself). I've been doing this for months now and have lost weight but I've hit a plateau. I'd like to lose around 3-5 more pounds. Is there any diet pill (hate to utter those words) or supplement on the market that can aid in weight loss or fat reduction? I took CLA for a while and found it toned me up a little, buI was wondering if there is anything else that works. I'd prefer something without caffeine, as I am sensitive to it. Like I said, I dont have much weight to lose, just want to get rid of those couple extra pounds and get leaner. Thanks in advance.

    • ANSWER:
      I think the others are right, why spend money to lose just a couple of more pounds. Have a look at this iste, there is a tips section that could probably help you lose that last little bit.

25. QUESTION:
    Do weight loss supplements and diets work?
    Do the advertised pills, drops, diet programs like jenny craig actually work? I am trying to lose weight and the simple way..by cardio and eating a bit less but just out of curiosity wanna know if it is healthy to try the afore mentioned things and if they really do work or just make u feel good for some time till u regain all ur weight

    • ANSWER:
      It sounds like you're doing it right.

      Most pills and programs will have disclaimers in the advertising saying "Results not typical" or "With diet and exercise" for a reason. If you need help controlling your portions something like Jenny Craig or WeightWatchers can be helpful, especially with guidance keeping your intake well balanced and with moral support, but it all comes down to reducing (or modifying) what you eat and being more active.

      It can take a while and you will hit walls and plateaus, but keep at it!

      If you do decide you need additional help (pills or drops) I'd ask your doctor and steer clear of people who point to the same web site (designed, of course, to sell you crap) for just about every answer they give.

26. QUESTION:
    Is it possible for to keep the weight off after using diet supplements?
    If someone was to take a weight loss supplement (e.g. hydroxycut, alli), lose the weight they wanted, and then stopped using the supplement, would they gain all of the weight back? Would maintaining a healthy lifestyle afterward keep the weight off?

    • ANSWER:
      95% of the people that attempt fad diet or diet pill weight loss fail and many end up heavier.
      (Source - CDC)
      You may lose some weight but once you start eating a regular diet (whatever that is these days) the pounds will go right back on.
      The only permanent solution is slow healthy weight loss and a lifestyle change away from processed foods and towards a whole foods diet. Any diet that excludes foods from any food group will ultimately fail.
      Finally, check the fine print on any "diet pill". You will read that statements made are not approved by the FDA. Alli is the ONLY approved over the counter weight loss supplement.

27. QUESTION:
    Body-Building: If i go on a low carb high protein diet with a weight loss supplement?
    For 52 days do you think i will be ripped if i do cardio daily with small sets of heavy weights. I'm 5'7, 20yr and 160 pounds but big build. Or would i just lose muscle mass and lose lot's of weight. I'm medical marijuana smoker so the fat loss supplement won't suppress my appetite thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      If you're doing low carb/ high protein, make sure you're getting your protein from generally fatty sources (if you eat chicken, eating something with it that has a good source of Omega 3's, like an avocado).

      I'd recommend looking at the guidelines of the paleo diet. When I started, I dropped from 197 to 188 in about a month. Slowly, my weight increased up to around 194, where is stayed for several months (roughly losing about the same amount of fat as muscle gained). Right now, I'm back up to 197, with a lot more muscle mass and a lot less fat... and I'm still getting stronger.

      Also, knock the medical marijuana crap out. You're 20, you don't need that stuff... and it's going to limit your gains.

28. QUESTION:
    Is Promax Diet the best weight loss supplement and also what the best flavour?
    Is taking promax diet, is there anything else to take that may help?

      Promax Diet is a brilliant weight loss supplement. It contains ingredients that have been proven to help cut the waist line whilst toning at the same time. It is quite expensive, but you can consider it many supplements in one. It contains;

      CLA (Conjugated linoleic acid) which has not only been shown to reduce tumor growth in animals, but has been proven to help strip human body fat.

      Green Tea- helps to get energy (and therefore burn) body fat as a fuel. Reduce the chance of getting neurodegenerative diseases (like parkinsons) and also promote the manufacture of 'good' cholestral.

      Also, high quality whey proteins, which are vital for post exercise recovery, and also help to diet by cuasing you to feel fuller for longer.

29. QUESTION:
    Do weight-loss supplements make you lose fat all over your body? How does it work exactly?
    I want to lose weight without losing certain aspects of my body, such as my breasts and behind. I just want to lose the stubborn belly fat. I regularly exercise and eat right. Which diet supplements would fulfill this?
    oh, and I don't want to lose mass amounts of weight. I'm only looking to lose 10 pounds. I know if you lose like, 25+ then your breasts would shrink. I'm wondering about smaller-scale weight loss

    • ANSWER:
      You can't control where you lose the weight, naturally women and will lose weight from the breast no matter what same with their butt bc thats where most of their fat is at. Also diet supplements dont work you need to just work out hard and eat right. Burn more than you eat

30. QUESTION:
    short cuts in weight loss/diet pills/exercise/supplements, what am i doing wrong, what more can i do? ?
    i was fat, now I'm much less fat; only a few pounds over weight, between 7 and 15 depending on the week

    i'm 18, i train at a mma gym twice a week, and go for half hour+ run-walks 3 times a week

    during the mma training on Monday & Wednesday i go from 6 - 9 pm, with 1 kick boxing class and one Pankration (wrestling / Brazilian jujitsu / full contact ring fighting ) class

    this gym is not some sissy bow 30 times over the course of the night, do 10 push ups 10 high kicks and go home gym, its the gym that has produce 3 provincial boxing and mma champs, and you can feel the intensity of the work out

    before each of those sessions i take 2 scoops of no-xplode by bsn, it keeps me awake for a few hours after that (don't get to sleep before about 3am) but the additionally endurance is measurable. and worth it for me
    right after i get home and shower i have a protein shake, and a hour later a creatine drink

    my diet is not super complex, i try to follow the creed "eat food, not to much, mostly veggies" or at least i try to,
    i eat very little red meat, and no wheat at all, grains come from brown rice, rice-milk and rice cakes

    only recently started the run-walks which go for 30 min + (47 today) and im starting with 1 min of running and 2 min of walking, i have a guide to tell me when and how to change it over the next 14 weeks

    my goals are simply "get in better shape"
    i want to be able to move, look good, feel healthy, my actions are working but there doing so very slowly so, if anyone has any educated (formal or from experience based) advice on how i can improve my health from training times, workout styles, supplement advice (are diet pills like atro-phex for me?) or anything someone has i would love to hear it

    • ANSWER:
      Hey there,

      I've tried just about every diet pill under the sun, and I can tell you that the only things I've ever had success with were natural supplements like acai berry. I tried a lot of the products like Hydroxycut, but they only made me dizzy and nauseous, not skinny! lol

      I'd recommend you check out things like acai berry or colon cleanse products that help to boost energy levels and speed up metabolism naturally. Add them to a strictly healthy diet and a lot of exercise, and you should start to see results pretty quickly. Remember - there are no miracle pills, so if you want to lose weight, you can't just sit around on your butt all day eating pizza!

      Anyways, let me know if you have any other questions. I'd be happy to talk to you about the plan that worked for me.

31. QUESTION:
    I'm looking for a diet supplement that is really good with weight loss, any suggestions?
    I'm 17 (almost 18), so I can't buy any of those dietary supplements that are behind the glass doors, but I want to know if anyone has some successful experience with diet/weight-loss pills to recommend for me? I have a workout plan but I really need weight-loss pills and need ones that will work (i'm not just going to take the pills, I'll continue my daily exercises and correct eating, i'm good with that). Please help me out, I heard Acai Berry supplements were useful??

    • ANSWER:
      We should all learn something every day and hopefully you will learn this.
      There is no such thing as a diet pill, liquid, powder, or fat burner supplement!
      Got it?
      Think about it. If any of this garbage worked, why would 2/3 of the adults in the US be overweight, obese, or morbidly obese? We would be lined up without having to spend a dime advertising if someone had the magic formula.
      Alli is the only over the counter weight loss pill approved by the FDA. There are only three prescription weight loss medications approved. Do you think that if any of them REALLY worked we would have a billion a year industry in "weight loss" supplements?
      The big three pharmaceuticals would dominate the market.
      Approved or otherwise, none of these weight loss supplements guarantee anything unless you establish a healthy diet and exercise program.
      So why not just establish a healthy diet and exercise program and keep your money?
      You will be spending somewhere between and per day on a product that is not approved or guaranteed to do anything!
      The only weight loss supplement I recommend is a basic multivitamin.

      And yes they are dangerous. Heart, liver, kidney, intestinal, and neurological damage and death have all been the result of diet pills. That is why the FDA hasn't approved any new ones for 14 years.
      These supplement manufacturers are using human guinea pigs (you) for these products. As long as no one gets sick or dies, and they don't get fined or shut down they will keep making and selling this junk. Whether it works or not.

      This whole acai berry thing is a scam.
      Acai berries are high in antioxidants.
      A diet high in antioxidant foods can increase your metabolism.
      An increase in metabolism can burn more calories.
      More calories burned can result in weight loss.
      Acai berries cause weight loss!
      That is the big "stretch" these con artists are selling.
      The same stretch of the imagination applies to the green tea, maquiberry, hoodia, moyoberry, gojiberry, fruta planta, and african mango seed extract pills out there.

      I say it over and over and over. "If any one of these products really worked, why are there so many?"

32. QUESTION:
    Do you know how effective are your weight loss diet pills?
    Purchasing a weight loss supplement without research and the facts can amount to throwing your hard earned money out the window. There are hundreds of weight loss products online today. With all of the hype, it's impossible to tell which products are based more on marketing hype rather than true effective solutions.

    Diet Supplements that help aid weight loss?
    I eat healthy and exercise. I eat roughly 1800 calories and exercise religiously. But I'm not getting the results I want. It's not like I'm not trying hard enough; I'm eating 6 tinier portioned meals a day spaced roughly 2-3 hours apart, exercising as much as I can and making sure sweets don't make it passed the front door of my house. I've been doing this for months now, but I think it has more to do with my lovely female hormones and my body's amazing ability to bloat beyond one's belief. What are some dietary supplements that are effective in getting more out of your workout and diet change? I don't want something that will cause serious side effects, like most diet pills. Please rate them from best to worst.

    • ANSWER:
      Have you tried Hoodia Gordonii? Hoodia Gordonii is a weight loss herb discovered
      by the San tribesman of Africa, Hoodia Gordonii actually contains a special molecule
      that fools your brain into believing you are full .

      Hoodia is the most famous appetite suppressant but you have to be
      careful to ensure you only choose pure Hoodia from South Africa.

      For generations, the nomadic Sans tribe have used Hoodia Gordonii to suppress their appetite.

      The media became interested when a UK based firm called Phytopharm researched the
      plant and isolated the active ingredient which they called P57.

      This was then licensed to Pfizer who subsequently sold it to Unilever.

      Clinical studies have shown that pure dried Hoodia Gordonii powder can:
      reduce food intake by half, reduce calorie intake by up to 2,000 calories per day.

      P57 is 10,000 stronger than glucose at suppressing the appetite thus significantly reduces body fat

      You MUST be careful when buying Hoodia on the internet however.

39. QUESTION:
    what diet pill/ weight loss supplement works and i can get at the drug store instead of online.?
    i want to be able to go to the store and get one instead of getting it online. Please help

    • ANSWER:
      Green Tea tablets work really well for me. My favorite is Spring Valley Green Tea 315 mg with Hoodia. It's important to get the ones with hoodia. It really does make a huge difference. You can get them anywhere. I got mine at Walmart, though. They are cheap and work-as long as you combine them with a healthy diet and exercise. But I see a huge difference in my appetite when I take them and when I don't. Of course, they are natural and better for you than other pills on the market. And I love tea, but these tablets work better than actually drinking green tea for me.

      I also like Mega T Green Tea Tablets. They do a pretty good job of suppressing your appetite, but what I really like is that it gives you lots of energy without making you jittery or sick or causing insomnia. I can workout out twice as long if I take those.

      I'm not sure if you would consider those actual diet pills, though. But I do know that I tried regular diet pills in the past and they left me so jittery and shaky, I couldn't think straight. These are natural (not sure if Mega T is 100% natural though-but I have seen no bad side effects) and good for you.

41. QUESTION:
    What diet pill/weight loss pill/supplement/vitamin for women should I take to kick start?
    I am 21 and a female. I'm 5'4 and 139 pounds. I exercise doing 3-4 days a week cardio intervals, weight training, resistance training, stretching, and circuits. I eat very healthfully, I've done the eat enough calories, eat less calories, eat more calories. I've done the 6 small meals, I've done the 3 meals and 2 snacks, I've done every food diet possible that doesn't involve meat(besides fish once in awhile) because I am a vegetarian. No matter what I try I cannot LOSE weight. I understand muscle weighs more than fat and to burn fat you build muscle and gain weight first, but I am not muscular nor fat so that doesn't apply to me, and I've kept this steady weight over the last 2 or so years. Except last year when there was a death in the family and I dropped weight like crazy from stress and getting on a medication to deal. But, I've been off the meds for awhile and living a healthy lifestyle and I can't lose it(I'm looking to be miniminally 115-120, less if possible). My BMI says I'm normal, but I don't feel good with myself. I get that the BMI doesn't say everything about a body, but to look at me I have a thin look with curves if that makes sense. I'm 34c/27/36. Anyways, what I'm getting at is does anyone know any supplements/pills/etc that can help me kickstart a weight loss, I'm not going to replace my lifestyle with it, I just need a booster. Please give me some suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      There aren't any and you don't weigh enough to qualify for the only one with FDA approval.
      Nothing for it but sensible eating and exercise.

      If you eat 3,500 calories more than your body needs, you will put on about 1 pound. If you use up 3,500 calories more than you eat, you will lose about 1 pound in weight.

42. QUESTION:
    Do any weight loss pills/supplements actually work?
    I need to lose approx. 140lbs over the summer. I am already on a rice diet and exercising more frequently at the company gym. Are there any diet supplements that have proven to be effective? With so many of them out there claiming to work, and knowing that most do not, has anyone used one that REALLY works? Thx in advance!

    • ANSWER:
      Do NOT take diet pills! They are dangerous!!

      Last year I was visiting my parents and took diet pills on top on my exercise routine and normal diet. I was 26 at the time, 5'11, 180 lbs. By week three I was sick. I had diarrhea, dry heaves, dizziness, headaches, and a general feeling of being sick. I thought I had caught the flu or something. I had lost 13 lbs in 4 days. One morning I told my mom I didn't feel good. My vision kept blacking out and I felt (for lack of a better way to say it) stoned. Later that afternoon I was walking from the bathroom to my bedroom (a 5 foot walk) and I passed out. I was rushed to the hospital emergency where they did a bunch of tests on me.

      My pulse was up to 120, My blood pressure was 150/40, they had to start me on an IV, the did an EKG on me, took blood and urine samples, and a whole barrage of other tests.

      They finally got me stabilized and said that I was dehydrated and malnutritioned. I told him that I took diet pills. When I mentioned diet pill, the doctors face lit up and said that's why. He said they can cause a whole bunch of health problems, including death. He told me to toss the diet pills or next time I might not be so lucky.

      I was kept in the hospital for almost 10 hours, given 3 or 4 IVs, potassium, juices, and monitored (by the EKG, blood pressure, and heart rate machines) every 15 minutes.

      Please take my story as a warning. If you seriously want to loose weight there are better ways (I know because I've lost weight after this)

      The quickest way to lose weight is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohol, and sodas.

      Eat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.

      In moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)

      Practice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.

      Eat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)

      Go exercise for at least an hour - two a day, incorporating weight training along with your cardio. Cardio helps to melt the fat, while weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat, even when you are resting. You get the idea. It also gives tone and definition. Also do a few yoga and pilates exercises to help tone those hard to reach and stubborn areas

    I already use Tonalin® CLA, which seems to work (and I've seen it on many reliable sites), but I was wondering if there were any others.

    • ANSWER:
      Hi there
      I have had great results using Proactol which is a natural fat binder and also helped me control my food cravings. when buying this product you will actually receive some pretty cool bonuses like free healthy recipes, an ebook to help you with your weight loss efforts plus some really good exercise videos so you get all the aspects important when wanting to lose weight:
      control of calories, exercise, healthy eating, restriction of the bad fats plus an appetite suppressant effect which will help you to maintain your healthy diet and turn it into a habit.

      Like I said, I have used the product myself and noticed that the longer I was using the better the results became (I had to lose atleast 65 lbs and did reach that, now I have been able to maintain it for almost a year and even still going down slowly)

      I have added some useful resources in the source box, one is a faq about proactol if you want to check it out, the other is a coupon discount page so that you can get it a lot cheaper.

      I hope this helps!

48. QUESTION:
    Should I get rid of these weight loss supplements?
    I have Triple Strength Fish Oil, Mega T Green Tea with Acai Berry and Hoodia extract pills, I also have over the counter Magnesium, Reservatrol diet pills, and Chromium Picolinate pills.

    Someone told me that it's hard to burn fat because the liver is trying to get rid of all the weight loss medications, workout supplements...so I thought about it and took what was said on this youtube video into consideration.

    Should I get rid of these pills or keep them?

    • ANSWER:
      That's a lot of supplements, but nothing bad for you in that mix. The fish oil, green tea and magnesium have positive health benefits beyond weight loss. I'd be suspicious of the diet pills.

49. QUESTION:
    Are there any weight loss supplements (pills, tea, etc.) for people under the age of 18?
    I am younger than 18, and I want to be on supplements to speed up the weight loss. Normally I would stick to a healthy diet, but I need to be in good shape by April. Any ideas? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

      Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

      First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...

      This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.

      However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

      Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.
