4. QUESTION:
   Is the new weight loss phenomenon of eating fire effective? Have you tried it?
   From what I've read on the internet the new weight loss fad is to soak a cotton ball in alcohol, light it on fire and quickly swallow it. It works because fire burns fat but will not burn muscle. You eat one a day and it burns about half a pound per cotton ball. This technique is a secret many celebrities have used. The fire is extinguished relatively quickly in your stomach and causes no pain and no side effects.

   I was wondering if anyone has tried this and if they found it effective?

   • ANSWER:
     I don't think that is a wise idea to go for it as you may not know what exact amount of fat will it burn. Also it may effect your stomach. You should do this if stars try this they do it under proper guidance of doctors and fitness experts. You should try some other tips that doesn't have side effects or could lead you into trouble. Have browsed lot about it and this http://thewikihealth.blogspot.com/2011/01/simple-tips-how-to-loose-weight.html will certainly help you loss weight in a proper and effective manner.

5. QUESTION:
   Has anyone tried the new weight loss supplement SlimChews?
   I've heard a lot of buzz on TV about one of the newest weight loss supplements. I hate swallowing certain diet pills, and they always seem to make me jittery. I thought that SlimChews were a great idea, and was wondering if anyone has had any success with them?

   • ANSWER:
     I was a little skeptical at first, but after trying SlimChews, I'm hooked! I've tried other soft chew supplements that taste like chalk, but SlimChews really taste good. Kind of like a Starburst and a Fruit Roll-Up combined. Besides the great taste, they have really helped me lose weight. I've lost 15 pounds over the last couple of months.

8. QUESTION:
   What do u think about this new weight loss book? Does it work?
   I want to buy this book called "The Weight Loss Cure They Don't Want You to Know About" By Kevin Trudeau. What do u guys think if I should follow what this book is saying? Do u think that it will work? Or, is this all fake? If anyone has read this book please email me and let me know if it worth my money to try another diet. Or, if u have any other tip on weight loss for me I want to lose 50 to 60 pounds in about 2-3 months. Please help I need to lose all the baby weight and then some.

   • ANSWER:
     This is like the third time you've posted this. No i have not read the book, but I can tell you that no book alone is going to make you lose weight. It has to come from within you; the book is probably great motivation to get you started. However, if it's a fad diet, then your right, it is fake, because all fad diets are unhealthy, unrealistic and overall not effective.

     If you want to lose weight, i recommend joining weight watchers. It teaches healthy eating, the importance of exericse, and above all, it's a lifestyle change, not a diet. There is flexiblity.

     Last but not least, it's impossible to lose 50-60 lbs in only 2-3 months. You can only lose up to 2 lbs a week and be healthy. Any more weight and you aren't losing fat but rather water weight or muscle. Plus, it'll come right back on. I did weight watchers and lost 40 lbs in 8 months. It's great!

      FDA Approves Orlistat for Over-the-Counter Use

      The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today approved orlistat capsules as an over-the-counter (OTC) weight loss aid for overweight adults. Orlistat was initially approved in 1999 as a prescription drug to treat obesity, and remains a prescription drug for obesity at a higher dose than the OTC version. OTC orlistat will be manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline under the name Alli and is indicated for use in adults ages 18 years and older along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, and exercise program.

      "We know that being overweight has many adverse consequences, including an increase in the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes," said Dr. Douglas Throckmorton, Deputy Director for FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "OTC orlistat, along with diet and exercise, may aid overweight adults who seek to lose excess weight to improve their health."

      OTC orlistat is not for people who have problems absorbing food or for those who are not overweight. Orlistat helps produce weight loss by decreasing the intestinal absorption of fat. The 60 mg capsule can be taken up to three times a day with each fat-containing meal. Because of the possible loss of certain nutrients, it is recommended that people using orlistat should also take a multivitamin at bedtime.

      The most common side effect of the product is a change in bowel habits, which may include loose stools. Eating a low fat diet will reduce the likelihood of this side effect. Also, people who have had an organ transplant should not take OTC orlistat because of possible drug interactions. In addition, anyone taking blood thinning medicines or being treated for diabetes or thyroid disease should consult a physician before using orlistat.

      FDA approved OTC orlistat based on the review of the sponsor's safety data and after submitting the product for the consideration by an FDA advisory committee in January 2006. The committee voted in favor of OTC approval.

    • ANSWER:
      Hi stormy
      speaking as a former 'fatty', (I've lost over six stones in the last two years) I can say confidently that nothing can aid slimming and sensible weight loss as much as following a simple diet and doing some form of moderate exercise however much I wanted to believe otherwise.
      The weight didn't come off as fast as I hoped but it came off, and I now find I'm able to keep it off. yes I miss Pringles and jaffa cakes, but I'm able to stick to the new food trends I learned and that has to be easier than taking a pill and hoping for the best.

16. QUESTION:
    What Kind Of Outcome Have You Had With The New Weight Loss Product Alli?
    I was just considering taking it to start loosing weight but I have alot to loose.........I need to loose alot more than 2 pounds a month or something.....and that would be terribly expensive in the long run, much more than I could afford...so, how much did/do you have to loose, what are you eating each day, and how much are you loosing with this product....

    thanks a bunch for your answers

    • ANSWER:
      My brother took it and it did not work at all for him. He like you, needed to lose quite a bit of weight. It really is a waste of money, really expensive in the long run.

      The only way to lose weight is to eat healthy and watch your portions and exercise.

      Good Luck!!

17. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried a new weight loss diet called Sensa? How did it work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      I am on weight watchers and working out almost everyday and that has worked well for me. I have heard nothing but bad things about Sensa. Miracle drugs never work. The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you eat. Exercise and cutting back is the only way to lose effectively. Lol all this talk of exercise makes me want to do a great work-out with You.

18. QUESTION:
    So, I bought the new weight loss drug Alli. Does it work? Did you experience any side major effects?
    I read the manual, and the side effects it MAY have, but I was wondering if anyone has experienced them.

    • ANSWER:

19. QUESTION:

      If you decide to take it, follow the guide-lines exactly. One fry too many and you'll be the most popular smelly dirty-pants-kid in town.

20. QUESTION:
    Quick Trim New weight loss supplement? Kim Kardashian spokes person? have you ever tried it?
    Ive been seeing a lot of advertisements for the new weight loss supplement system Quick Trim, they have I think four different products. I seen a Life & Style magazine with Kim Kardashian and her Sister Khloe on the cover so I purchased it to read about their weight loss and they swear by these new products, along with eating healthy and exercise. Have you ever tried any of the quick trim products? If so did you like it or dislike it? What were you're results?

    • ANSWER:
      I just bought the Extreme Burn on Tuesday (the 15th) and I've already lost 6 pounds. I do watch what I eat and eat no later than 6:30 pm, and I work out for atleast an hour each day. I love it. It gives me so much energy and it doesn't make my heart race or feel all jittery. I normally take 2 capsules between breakfast and lunch, and then another 2 between lunch and dinner...when I do that, I don't over-eat like I used to and I have enough energy at night to have a pretty good workout at the gym.

21. QUESTION:
    Biokoline-a is a new weight loss product, does anyone know anything about what is in it?
    I know it is new in the US and is a liquid extract of a plant. Who can tell me what plant, and is anything else in it?

    • ANSWER:
      No, all websites I've tried to search for are in German or another language, and their US ordering website has no information.

      Regardless it is just another new fad and I highly doubt it works. If a weight loss product that ACTUALLY worked was ever discovered I bet it would change the world and be all over the news. Medical doctors would be shouting from the rooftops to take it and overnight America wouldn't be the most obese country in the world anymore

      The only scientifically proven way to lose weight is still the cheapest, eating right and exercising.

22. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used the new weight loss pill Alli?
    If so do you think it is a good one? I am on meds for hypothyroid, but I know that it had no stimulants in it, but has anyone else taken it while on synthroid?

    • ANSWER:
      I wouldn't it's barely effective. You only lose 1 pound a month with some nasty side effects. In the clinical trials that the FDA based their approval on people who tested it only lost 1 pound per month, that's barely effective in my opinion. It works by blocking some of the fat normally digested by the intestine. But the gross thing is guess where the fat ends up? The side effects include diarrhea, anal leakage, Fatty/oily stool, oily spotting, intestinal gas with discharge, bowel movement urgency, poor bowel control and headaches. Doesn't sound like fun to me, what are people suppose to do wear a diaper?

      I suggest two all natural diet pills that are safe and have no side effects. They are Hoodia Gordonii and Cha de Bugre.

      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. I always recommend Totalink's unbiased Hoodia comparison at http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:ZE_Z_dJZRBwJ:hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/hoodia_comparison.html+http://hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/hoodia_comparison.html&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a

      Cha de Bugre, is a new weight loss 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.

      Hope this helps, if you want to know more about Hoodia I have written a lot of articles on it. 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.

    Who is trying the new weight loss product called Alli?
    How is it working for you so far? Any reaction?
    Justme, can you answer Nita's question?
    Thanks, Pink...

    • ANSWER:
      Alli is chemically the same as Xenical(by prescription) except it is 50% WEAKER!! It doesn't supress appetite,only blocks approx. 30% 0f certain types of FAT from being absorbed.Unless you are ingesting an excessive amount of fatty foods you probably won't benifit,since it doesn't suppress appetite nor does it burn calories..I have used the stronger prescription version for years, but only occassionally such as when I pig out on fried foods, greasy pork chops, etc..

28. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the new weight loss drug Alli?
    Has anyone had success with this? Would it work in combo with the nutra system diet plan?

    • ANSWER:
      I have not, but what Alli does is punishes you. If you eat any fatty foods, you expel them in the form of a nasty orange oil that leaks from your poop chute. It basically forces you to eat healthy so you don't make a nasty stinky mess.

    Contest has 7 people per group, based on greatest percentage weight loss, new group has 5, how to calculate?
    Contest has 7 people per group, based on greatest percentage weight loss, new group has 5, how to calculate?
    contest has 7 people per group, based on greatest percentage of weight loss from the total weight of the group, the greatest loser wins.

    a new group comes along and says they have only 5 people in the group, which would be the most accurate dividing total weight by 5 ( numerator ) or by 7 ? explain answer

    • ANSWER:
      If you're considering the entire group, you have to divide by the number of people in the group to come up with the more accurate means of measuring. No matter how many people are in the group, the formula is still the same - (original total group weight - new total group weight)/(number of people in the group).

31. QUESTION:
    Who will try the new OTC alli (Xenical) weight loss drug?
    The FDA just approved the new weight loss drug Xenical that will be sold under the name "alli". It basically takes the fat from the food you eat, and gets rid of it through your colon and digestive system. If you eat a real fatty meal, you might not make it to the toilet. Would you risk public humiliation and days spent in the bathroom to speed up your weight loss?

    • ANSWER:
      Go and read the manufacturer's website to learn more about the side effects.... http://www.myalli.com the side effects are preventable if you stick to a low calorie, reduced fat diet. You have to limit the fat in your meals to 15 grams, and if you do that, then the product can block that amount of fat and naturally dispose of it. While it may not be for everyone, it is actually a good thing to help with a diet. There is no magic pill, but if you do your hardwork this can help. I am still researching it, but start with this site (and watch the videos)

      #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.

43. QUESTION:
    contest has 7 people per group, based on greatest percentage weight loss, new group has 5, how to calculate?
    contest has 7 people per group, based on greatest percentage of weight loss from the total weight of the group, the greatest loser wins.

    a new group comes along and says they have only 5 people in the group, which would be the most accurate dividing total weight by 5 ( numerator ) or by 7 ? explain answer

    • ANSWER:
      Percent weight loss of a group:

      Weight loss = (Total weight initial) - (total weight final)

      Percentage weight loss = (Weight loss)/(total weight initial)...[expressed as a percent]

      Note: The number of people in the group is not in the formula.
      It doesn't matter how many people are in the group.

44. QUESTION:
    How am I doing with my weight loss? Since New Years I have lost 36 pounds although I gained some?
    and lost it again. I have another 84 to lose. Should I speed up my weight loss? Or am I losing normally?
    I am not on a diet I have completely changed my eating habits and lifestyle, also I am getting exercise. I was a real couch potato. Now the TV rarely comes on.

    • ANSWER:
      Any weight loss is awesome. Just make sure you don't plateau and it slows down. Once you lose the excess fat it will slow down but until then it should be at a steady rate. I think as long as you're working out on a regular basis and eating healthy that's the main thing. It's not about what you weigh but how healthy your lifestyle is... that's what increase life longevity. Keep up the good work I say =)

45. QUESTION:
    What is the recipe to this new special weight loss lemonade?
    I seen on E!TV that there was a special lemonade drink made from cayenne pepper, honey, and some other stuff but I don't know the full ingredients. It was said that Beyonce lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks drinking only that. If anyone had any information on it or a site please let me know, thank you =)

    • ANSWER:
      it's known as the Master Cleanse diet. I would avoid it if I were you though. that "lemonade" is all you're allowed to consume for 2 weeks. obviously you're going to lose weight--you're starving yourself! but you'll gain it all back the second you quit the diet. why not just try normal diet and exercise?

      that link has the recipe if you're still interested.

46. QUESTION:
    New weight loss surgery that promises fast results and doesn’t involve scarring or a scalpel.?.?
    Does anyone know what the procedure would be?

    • ANSWER:
      LMAO your question is now a spam dump

47. QUESTION:
    Can you add to my new weight loss / beauty regimen?
    I started out at 257 pounds (5"7") on 04/28. I'm now 248 on 05/08. I have been walking on my treadmill 3-4 times a day for 25-30 minutes at different speeds. Sometimes between 2.3-2.9 mph, sometimes just a straight 2.6 mph.
    Sometimes I swing my 3 pound weights as I stride, other times I just carry 8 or 10 pound weights at my side as I walk on the treadmill.
    I am having a vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast in the morning and a meat & veggie Lean Cuisine (no pasta) for lunch. Then a sensible dinner. If we have spaghetti I don't have the garlic bread, if we have tacos I don't put sour cream on it etc..
    To help keep my skin from looking like a shar-pei I have been using a Mary Kay granulated buffing cream & netted sponge every time in the shower and then I follow with a Mary Kay anti-aging firming body cream. I tried to find shea butter at Target but the ingredients start out with water and other stuff....
    What else can I do to help me lose weight, build muscle and make my butt NOT FLAT?!
    I have also increased my water consumption tremendously, quite my flavored coffee and started drinking Green Tea.
    I am using the full line Mary Kay skin care on my face, including the Microdermabrasion so I think my face will be okay

    • ANSWER:
      In today's society, people spend countless hours and endless amounts of money attempting to slow down the natural aging process. But what can we really do to keep aging from taking over our bodies, our appearance and our minds? The answer is the anti aging diet. The anti aging diet is loaded with all the recommended components to keep us looking and feeling young in addition to helping fight off disease.

      The anti aging diet is based on three premises:

      1) Increase intake of antioxidants

      2) Eliminate or significantly decrease sugar intake

      3) Implementing portion control

      Antioxidants are classified as a group of vitamins (C, E, and A), minerals, and amino

      acids. Antioxidants help to deactivate certain particles called free radicals. Free radicals

      are byproducts created by exposure to various environmental toxins such as; smoke,

      pollution and radiation. If left to thrive in the body they can cause damage to cells which accelerates the aging process and could ultimately lead to disease. Eliminating sugar is a tough task but can make a huge difference in the aging process as well. When following the anti aging diet it is important to keep refined sugar intake to an absolute minimum. It can be replaced with natural fruit sugar to help satisfy any cravings. It is important, however, to choose fruits low on the glycemic index.

      Low glycemic fruits will have less natural sugar thereby resulting in slower absorption and also contain more fiber and antioxidants.

      ANTI AGING FRUITS

      Blueberries

      Gogi berries

      Kiwi

      Raspberries

      Cantaloupe

      Citrus fruits

      Peaches

      Pomegranate

      As we age our metabolism slows resulting in a decrease physiological need for calories each day. Therefore portion control is an important part of the anti aging diet. The more nutrient rich your meal the smaller your portion of food will need to be. When attempting to determine portion sizes of the macronutrients there are some simple guidelines to follow. The best way to measure the proper serving size of protein is to choose a portion that is about the size of the palm of your hand. Next, choose a nutrient rich carbohydrate. When choosing a good carbohydrate try to steer clear of white carbs and pick carbohydrates that have deep color to them, as these carbs tend to be more nutritious. Finally, choose a good source of fat. Healthy fats will be found naturally in foods such as vegetable oils, nuts and certain fish. Attempt to stay clear of animal fats found in red meat as well as butter.

      Use the following list as a guide for anti aging macronutrients:

      ANTI AGING SOURCES OF PROTEIN

      Fish: salmon, halibut, cod, haddock

      Poultry: turkey, chicken, lean pork

      Meat: occasional lean cuts

      Soy products

      Egg whites, low fat dairy products

      ANTI AGING CARBOHYDRATES

      Asparagus Beans/legumes

      Broccoli Green beans

      Leafy greens Whole grains

      Spinach Orange colored squash

      Tomatoes Bell peppers

      ANTI AGING FATS RICH IN OMEGA-3 AND OMEGA-6

      Avocado Flax seed

      Olives and olive oil Nuts

      Omega-3 are found in fish. Choose fresh wild caught fish. Best choice: salmon.

      Omega-6 best sources are corn oil, soybean oil, safflower oil, and sunflower oil.

      You can also choose to supplement your essential fatty acids. This is especially important for those who do not eat fish.

      In order to pull all these nutrients together to create an anti aging diet choose foods from each list at each meal. Making sure to start with your appropriate portion of protein, then 1-2 cups of fruits and/or veggies, or ½ cup of grains from the list and finally your fats. For fats use 2tsp to 1T of oil, 1/8 of an avocado, or a small hand full of nuts or seeds. It is a good idea to vary these foods as much as possible to get all the necessary benefits.

      This sample anti aging diet is just a suggestion to give you an idea of how to put it all together. You need to determine your own portions for accurate calorie requirements.

      Breakfast

      Egg white veggie omelet

      Fresh berries sprinkled with ground flax seed

      Lunch

      Large veggie salad using an olive oil/lemon dressing

      Broiled salmon

      Kiwi for dessert

      Snack

      Edamame (steamed soy beans)

      Dinner

      Grilled chicken

      ½ cup of brown rice, with slivered almonds

      Antioxidant smoothie for dessert (use berries, banana, pomegranate juice, flax seed, ice. Blend)

      The anti aging diet will not only leave you feeling and looking younger but you will likely drop some unwanted weight as well. Fight off the aging process and the possibility of disease by adopting the anti aging diet.

48. QUESTION:
    How much does that new Lypozene weight loss plan cost and is it out in stores yet?
    don't respond like i'm stupid, cuz i haven't started to look for it. i just figured i'd start here and see if anyone knew before i started my search

    • ANSWER:
      The pattern for losing weight is not difficult - eat less food and exercise more often - the issues arise when we really try to put that into operation! There are lots of stumbling blocks out there don't you think?! I discovered some splendid advice by following the web portal in the box below, they have lots of guidance, I lost 8 pounds by taking their advice.

49. QUESTION:
    Does anyone have more info about the new weight loss drug that uses Topamax?

    • ANSWER:
      Supposedly this drug is going to use topiramate (the ingredient in topamax) and something called phentermine and they are going to call it Qnexa. There is lots of controversy over this though, because Topamax is being investigated for birth defects. Some people say it can cause cleft palate - I would stay far away.

50. QUESTION:
    Does the new weight loss supplement called 'Deep' really help add energy and suppress appetite?
    I'm wondering if anyone has actually tried it? it seems a bit dodgy to me. I exercise regularly but I wanted to try something to boost my energy a bit. Anything helps, right?

    • ANSWER:
      It's dodgy.
      It's just caffeine, vitamin B5 and some hoodia. It also has bitter orange (Citrus Aurantium) which can be very dangerous and shouldn't be taken for more than 1 week.
      Take some good multi-vitamins, some Omega oils, drink a lot of water and cut down on suagrs/carbs and your energy will increase.
