diet pills???suggestions/feedback needed.

i heard jillian michaels has a good line and she has a pretty damn good reputation!

green tea eww hows that work? xx

Just don't. They are not good for you. So you don't lose 10 pounds before Vegas, big deal. So not worth your health!

I was wondering the same thing. I am down to losing my last 20 lbs. I just want something that can give me that extra edge. I have lost over 40 lbs in all and 36 lbs is from when I started this site a year and a half ago. I know how to eat right and I feel "bad" when I don't work out. I actually look forward to it : )

I just don't like the "jittery" feeling of the pills that I've tried before. I plan on trying the "natural" pills too. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow and seeing what he thinks. Maybe he can prescribe something. I just think that it is taking way too long to lose this weight for what I'm eating and burning! I know it won't happen overnight but come on!!

Anyway, sorry for the little rant.

The healthiest way and fastest way I lost weight was the old fashion way. I ran 30 minutes in the morning and did another type of cardio 45 minutes at night. This plus Dr. Perricone's anti-inflammatory diet worked great I think I lost about 7 lbs in 2 weeks with my cardio workouts.

He has a very strict diet for two weeks. No coffee or alcohol during this time. But as much green tea and water as you want. 6 mini meals. No sugar, no flour, or any high glycemic fruits. I do not think I ate any grains either. Just good lean protein every two hours with a fruit or veggie. Eat lots of poly and mono fats. Lots of tuna and salmon. EVOO (olive oil) and mushrooms and lots of peppers and good spices. Check the book out of the library. It talks about anti-inflammatory foods. Your skin looks great too.

I agree diet pills will just mess up your metabolism.

I was a program director at an all womens gym/spa up until recently when I found out that I am moving in a week. At our club we sold a product called Atro-phex. I am very skeptical of these things, including mega-t, I have tried so many things that did not work. The GM told me that she had taken this supplement and with diet and excersize she lost about 40lbs in 6 months. So I tried it and it is amazing! I am already on my second box. It is a little bit on the pricey side but for me, its worth it. It doesn't give me the jitters at all but it still give me the energy to really put in a good workout. I have also noticed that days that I do take it, I dont getv as many cravings. Also, while taking it, I am in a better mood. The box does say that it provides mood support. Anyway, it has a mild diuretic so it important to drink a lot of water. I lost 5lbs of excess water the first week but after that things evened out nicely. http://store.bsnonline.net/detail/atrophex.html

Keep in mind, that kind of weight loss is too quick! No one should lose that much so fast!

i heard jillian michaels has a good line and she has a pretty damn good reputation!

yeah but they also have massive side effects that i experienced when i did her jump start 14 day program...i wouldn't recommend any of her products...I had headaches, stomach pains and severe diarrhea...

honestly, based on experience, i have taken every kind of diet pill out there and none, that's right NONE of them worked, even WITH me eating right AND exercising...dont rely on the mental crutch that diet pills promise of the "FAST weight loss"...in fact, unless they are prescription, the over the counter pills they sell now a days are placebos.

Please be careful...loosing ten pounds in two weeks is NOT healthy!! Please, do yourself a favor and just try to lose as much as you can without forcing yourself to lose the ten in two weeks because the faster you lose weight, the faster it will come RIGHT back on.

HAHAHHA Jillian Micheals has great workout dvds but she is actually being sued for her bogus pills! A lady is suing her because her pills didn't work.

I was so disappointed in Jillian :brokenheart:

Just don't. They are not good for you. So you don't lose 10 pounds before Vegas, big deal. So not worth your health!

Smartest and wisest response on the board I've seen yet. Diet pills may drop some vanity weight but they will do more than that, they can do damage beyond the Vegas trip, is it worth it? Not for me, but if you're looking to lose that much weight that fast, maybe for you you're not worried about damage to your body.

Enjoy your trip and realize eating healthy, good workouts, drinking plenty of water and feeling better about your body will take you much further than using drugs for a temporary weight loss for a vacation. The weight will come right back on and you'll end up needing to take it off the healthy way to actually keep it off for good. Wouldn't it be easier to simply do it that way from the getgo?

Curious to if you already thought you might get 'negative' feedback, then perhaps in your own mind you wonder if this is a good idea to be even thinking of taking any? Not meaning to come down on you, really I'm not but it's so hard to see Ali, diet pills and so many drugs of various types brought up on the boards when those of us that have lost weight the slower healthier way and been able to keep it off. Only to see the diet pill users come back in desperation and looking to lose those same lbs, it's sad it what it is.

Good health to you and have a fabulous trip!:drinker: :happy:

I dont think diet pills are appropriate to lose the last few pounds but I dont agree they dont have a place in dieting at all. When i was at my heaviest I could barely walk without pain, I was having panic attacks and agoraphobia, I was so out of control, so much self hatred and daily attacks from others on my weight but nothing I did seemed to work. Eventually I went to the doctor in desperation and they put me on Orlislat (high dosage form of Alli). I joined a gym at the same time and started writing down everything I ate and it all clicked into place. The weight started to come off. I started to feel better about myself and became more active and lost the first 40lbs using them. Then I came off them because I was in a place where I was better equipped to manage weight loss on my own and have now lost an additional 42lbs, totalling 82lbs. Those tablets absolutely turned my life around and I dread to think what would have happened to me had I not found support in them. This is why I feel quite defensive about dismissing them completely, they do have a place with the most desperate, morbidly obese people. I think with Alli/Orlislat its kind of different to say amphetamines etc because you do have to still diet and exercise as if you normally would. The tablets taught me to eat low fat and limit my calories, I will be eternally grateful - but I am also grateful that I am now in a position where I dont need to use them any more (I still have another 40lbs to go).

Weight loss pills do not work. Period.

When I was getting ready for vacation and wanted to look good and lose a couple of pounds, I was very strict with my diet. You can also drink dandelion tea as this will help with water bloat. The only "pill" I would recommend is guarana, which is natural, it will boost your metabolism and help you get in more intense workouts. That being said, work out harder!! 2 weeks is enough time to lose at least 5 pounds, yeah they may be water weight, but your clothes will fit better.

Stay away from bloating carbs, like broccoli/beans the last couple of days before you leave...also diet drinks and artificial sweeteners.

Have a blast! Just got back from Vegas and we had a great time.

I haven't heard about the green T pills..are they good enough to take help? Will they prove the best diet pills for me?
Please help I'm very desperate of taking my weight loss...

I use to take the mega green tea, they didnt do a thing for me.
I am taking a detox pill though, and one of the advantages is weight loss. Im having good results, but of course I still have to watch what I eat, and exercise. There is no magic pill.
I also started taking Spirulina fron gnc. this is a super green supplement and amino acid.

Hi Everyone. This is my first post on this website, so hello! I have taken the Mega Green T off and on over the past couple of years (when Im in diet mode). Im not sure if it helps directly with weight loss, but for me, its seems to take the edge of my appetite. This is what I take it for. I take it three times a day with meals.

I use Alli and I can't complain at all. Actually, I know many people who use Alli and it works. It's not really a "diet" pill and it's not a miracle pill either. I don't think there are any miracle pills out there and if they are, they aren't healthy!

I HATE this topic, it cheezes me right off, people looking for a quick fix, you'll gain it back, then what? now you've buggered your metabolism that much more, and will struggle even harder to lose those last pounds! sorry, but diet pills, are garbage. An there is a miracle "pill" it's called eat healthy, not too much and get your butt in the gym...works wonders, really! lol :laugh:
