fat metaboliser

I would be worried about taking any kind of pill with an "unknown" health condition. You say the pills worked for you but is that 2 stone (I believe that equals about 28 lbs) still gone? How much did you put back on when you stopped taking the pills?

If you eat healthy, keep your calorie intake above 1200 (after exercise) and drink lots of water then you should be able to lose weight using this website.

And you can lose weight even without exercise. It comes down to calories in vs. calories out. As long as you don't go below 1200 for too long it will happen.

The last thing that you want to start doing is to put somehting in your body if you have an undiagnosed health issue!!!!!

I have used fat metabolisers in the past and i would say that they do help but think about how they actually help!! Raising the core temperature of the body to assist in speeding up your metabolism, so is it really wise to alter the way in which your body is designed to work if you are not in peak health and certainly if you have undiagnosed health issues???

I certainly wouldnt do it and would urge you to seek medical advice before starting the fat metabolisers, Better safe than sorry.

Best wishes for whichever track you choose :-)

yes you are right! I am with you!Pills are not the answer.Healthy diet and sport do it for you!

Pills don't work, it is the diet they give you with it that would. Following MFP works and is free and no pill.

Isn't that why people lose weight on HCG? I always thought people we're crazy to inject themselves with stuff when it’s the 500 cal VLCD that leads to initial results.

Following the meal plan will work, save your money on the pills b/c in the long run they can hurt your heart or mess with your metabolism.

I found the Turbo Fire Inferno meal plan online so try that for free, see if you lose up to 10lbs in 5 days without spending a dime (other than food of course!)

OR, if you want a quick fix, a few days of eating just fruit and veggies will give you a quick start. Just search MFP for fruit cleanse.

I would say just deal with the weight gain until you can get back on your feet. It's not a lot of weight and you have good plans for when you can be active again.

I'm sure there are plenty of people on this site who would say "yes - take the pills" but I just don't believe in quick fixes.

Maybe instead of buying pills buy some hand weights or a low impact workout DVD or a resistance band - something that you can do at home. I don't have a gym membership but was lucky enough to come across a treadmill real cheap years ago (finally getting some use). And I have 4 Jillian Michaels DVDs. But she does a lot of lunges and squats and jumping which wouldn't be good for your knee.

I'm here due to Fibromyalgia. It used to hurt to exercise but now I feel no pain anymore. (I thank all of my food changes for the no pain).

havent put anything back on

I lived a very active lifestyle until 3 weeks ago, my doctor said I can start back exercising now but in the meantime my gym membership was cancelled because of late payments so really trying to lose weight at home with what I have or walking, which I cant do for hours on end due to a knee injury also.

I might be able to do it without pills and I appreciate that but I need a bit of a boost for the 3 weeks Ive lost from "resting" and having gained 1.4lbs this week even though I started walking again etc.

Lindsay,
If you must use pills, add them to the good diet and as much movement as you're able to take in. A pound or two is not a lot especially since we normally fluctuate daily. My even bigger concern is that you feel like you can not really do it without meds and you can. It is just slower. Pills can often become a crutch and it seems like you're not willing to hear that. I would question your doctor for prescribing you pills after what seems to be less than 2 LB's weight gain. I also noticed that your picture is you drinking Starbucks.

I would say that you have to truely look within yourself and decide how bad you want to be healthy and if you TRUELY want to do it in a healthy fashion. If you decide you don't NO ONE of MFP can knock you for it. We have ALL done it. That is what drove us to seeking fitness and health eventually. It just may not be your time; and that's ok too.

In the end it is your body and your decision. Good luck with what ever you choose.

Hey there,
I have the very same Fat Metabolizer tablets from Holland and barret in my cupboard for two years.....guess I should clear out my cupboards more often. I took them at a time I wasn't even properly considering my diet - for about a week....so i couldnt say I tested them correctly.

A personal opinon though - i don't think they would work that well or be that good for you. I know when I was at slimming world 2 years ago they talked about superfood....for example lemon....I buy a bag of them and squeeze them on sald, fish, stuff chicken with herbs and lemon - its not only tasty but its also supposed to spped up weight loss???

I think you have been doing brill on MFP...maybe you are not loosing as quickly as you would like....but think about it - you have lost 17llbs....thats a stone and 3 pounds for us in northern ireland since January....its a healty weightloss!
I've lost the same amount and can feel a differnce, I can feel the difference in my every day tasks, my energy etc...i'm not as puffed or as tired. You have to remember you've been sick as well so naturally you wont be feeling the benefits as well. But if you sorted re ur condition - u will hopefully come up fighting!!

Also, do let the weight loss pictures on her get you down that you can't see such dramatic changes this quick --- i dont think i look any different, i feel slightly less puffy but i've not noticed that much difference to my clostes etc....but stick with it and hopefully you will!!

You have to remember that pills are always going to be a controversial topic - some love them and some just loathe them.....so just take from the info what you need. Stick with it girl!!!

dont necessarily agreee with you there as I lost 2 stone with pills last year. MFP might work but I havent seen it happen so far. As Ive now got an unknown health condition which has prevented me from exercising for over 3 weeks so I wanted to find something to help me out.

most likely it was the diet that came with the pills and exercise that caused the weight loss not the pills.

Hello! Lynz I'm on your side! Some people are far too quick to judge! The particular pills you're talking about only contain natural metabolism boosters like green tea, caffiene, chilli, and aren't as far as I can see dangerous. I'm quite into nutrition and have been on 2 types of antidepressants for about 5 years which have been messing with my metabolism, and natural met-boosters should at least help a bit (1 cup green tea can boost calorie burning in the next hour by something like 40 calories- I could check this but am in a bit of a rush!) And pills like Alli/ Orlistat DO work- that's why they're prescribed by doctors (they worked for me too). Although they've been taken off the market now somewhat!! I know people are bound to judge me too! But Hoodia (a natural root used by some tribes to stop hunger on days-long hunting trips) is supposed to powerfully stop your appetite (it was on 'Supersize vs Superskinny'!)- so I'm going to try that if I get a bit 'munchie' on an evening! Will try to let you know if it works! Good luck! :)xxx

In 2008 I used them to lose weight in 2 months I lost nearly 8kg with exercise and diet plan. Was so happy I didn’t even noticed it happen. Later I started to feel very high could not sit still, started sweeting a lot. Was feeling very funny went to doctors, but with NHS they didn’t find anything only by researching myself I manage to find I have clinical social anxiety even im very happy brave, confident person. Cutting story short I suffered for 5 years of nightmare, because of this tablets, because those fat burners do imbalance your vegan nerve system and that’s where came from and all problems. To be honest since then I haven’t lost any weight even when I was doing boot camp 3 times a week and not taking more then 1200kl. Not all body’s does react to this like mine, but that’s the risk you have to take and vegan nerve system is very hard to balance it and is vital to our health.

OP please read this post that is above yours on page1 General...
