Weight loss pills?

SlowlyLosingLolita

I've been taking Green Tea pills and I really think they have helped my hunger. I'm not sure if it's a mind over matter type situation or if they are really doing anything but I notice that when I take them with lunch, I tend to want a very small dinner.

I'm clueless to the whole diet pill thing. I can't take anything like that since I have a bad ticker and Diabetic. But...if you are hungry..how about, I dunno, eating a snack? I have a hard time understanding this concept of starving on a diet. Then again I eat 5 times a day. Maybe it's the fat girl mentality but I try to eat as much as possible for as small amount of calories as I can!

the only fda one is my alli. Scarry thing with that is if you accidently give into your urge and eat something high in fat you will have oily butt discharge. Diet pills don't work believe me I wish they did. It would be a whole lot easier to just take a pill instead of workout and eat right. Also here are some tips from webmd http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/15-foods-to-help-you-lose

Laughed so hard I snorted on the oily butt discharge comment...

Lol it's funny but true!! It's scary to think that you could eat let's say enchilldas and then opps butt discahrge!! If I took my alli I would be scared to eat anythign at all.

If you have diabetes you have special issues. Namely that taking insulin or metaformin will increase your appetite and cause you to use the calories you eat. Ask your doctor if you could use Byetta. It really helped me start controlling my hunger. It also helps drive your blood sugar down so that you don't need as much medicine. If I could afford it I would go back on it so I could drop the lantus I take altogether and to help me get my weight down quicker because as I add exercise I get more hungry.

Having said that if you are not diabetic and even if you are, there are other things you can do as others have mentioned.
Water. Start with water when you are hungry, often our bodies don't distingush between hunger and thirst. I started eating protien when pregnant when I wante chocolate because that is what my body actually needed. It just misinterpereted the signal. Hot beverages before a meal will help you feel full, and of course fiber. Cut everything white out of your diet. (except cauliflour and the occasional potoato but only if you eat the skin too. )

I got a great 'jump start' using Solo Slim. I took that, lost about 40 pounds, and then got motivated to get off them and get to the gym. Now, I didn't go to the gym right away and of course gained some weight back - but it was an awesome jump start - I took them for about 3 months. Since starting at the gym I have kept the rest of the weight off.

They are pricey - about $40 for a 30 day supply - and there are a couple side effects (cottonmouth and a mild headache the first couple days for me, some people get jittery on it), but it's one pill a day in the morning, it controls your appetite, and I had great sucess on it. Jump start only - you have to watch portions and get moving for long-term success - but it really worked well for me.
