    Sadly there is no magic to be found in a pill to achieve a healthier you. Its all about eating right and exercising. I do use Advocare products however I view them as nutritional supplements to my efforts and not weight loss magic pills. If I don't use MFP to track food and get my money's worth out of my gym membership I would forever be complaining about the fat around my middle.

    Knowledge, hard work, have a plan, exercise, eat right. <---there's your magic pill :)

    yes.

    1) get the whey protein pill. if you can't find it in pill form, it's more readily available in whey protein powder form. take enough every day in addition to food to meet your protein goal.
    2) count calories.

    The bottom line here is that anything you use to help you diet will do just that, it will help you diet. Dieters may lose weight but never successfully. If you want to lose weight you need to make lifetime changes. If you lose a lot of weight very quickly it will be very hard if not impossible to stop dieting and maintain. Eat your TDEE minus 20% and eat your exercise calories to maintain a constant deficit. When you reach your goal in this way...AND YOU WILL. Adding the 20% back will be relatively easy as you will not have much to alter.

    There is so magic pill. Diet and exercise combined will do the job.

    You want to "get fit" and "do it healthy this time(according to your profile) then this time you need to stop thinking about diet aids. Strength train and eat your TDEE -20% and stop looking for short cuts.

    ^^This 100%

    I found a great diet supplement I take every day. It fills me up and gives me great energy, too! Here's what's in it:

    Turkey
    Chicken
    Broccoli
    Green beans
    Tomatoes
    Eggs
    Yogurt
    Cheese
    Milk
    Quinoa
    Pasta
    Rice
    Ice cream
    Chocolate

    It's called food.

    I agree eating right and exercise however I do use herbalife shakes as a quick meal replacement and it does work but any protein shake will help.

    Gotta love those moms that told us we were fat! Thanks Ma! And someone also mentioned: Heroin works really well, did for me on and off for 10 years! Its NO WONDER I gained 100 lbs the blessed year I sobered up! Drugs, be they Street or Legal are Never the solution. :)

    My best friend took hydroxycut and it put her in a hospital- literally made her have a breakdown and the doctor said it was definitely from the pills side effects. Not worth it- follow the advice on this thread instead (minus the heroin ;-) )

    No, from my own experience and I have probably tried everything OTC. However, I have bought some preworkout drink mixes that have given me the stamina to exercise longer.

    This.


    Lots of pills and diets work. For a few months. And then they don't.
