Weight loss pills

so after I'm done breastfeeding I was thinking of trying some sort of weight loss supplement. I don't want to take anything with caffeine or any other stimulant as I have a heart murmur but I was wondering if anyone knew of anything to take that actually works to help lose weight with diet and exercise?

Diet and exercise, without the scammy supplement.0

Alli. Though it will cause u to occassionally poop urself. Stick with diet and exercise. Why mess with that stuff?0

I just posted about Alli and an unfortunate sneezing/pooping myself incident. Save your money. Genuine diet and exercise will help you lose weight. If you have a little one, I'm certain he or she keeps you on your toes. Use their energy to assist in your weight loss.0

Just eat in a calorie deficit. The only thing you lose taking diet pills is money.0

Lol thanks for the advice guys. Yeah I figured most of Those weight loss things are scams. I've heard about Alli but I'm not sure I want to poop out all my weight or poop when not on the toilet lol.0

The FDA has a few prescription drugs approved for moderate weight loss. They help some people a little bit.
For example, the manufacturers call these drugs successful when after one year with diet and exercise the patient has a 5% to 10% weight loss.
Ask your doctor.0 -

I think I've found the hidden message0 -
I looked up Belviq, and honestly, some of the side effects are frightening. Like "Valvular heart disease: Some people taking medicines like BELVIQ have had heart valve problems"
Unfortunately, most, if not all, of the current drugs on the market, either approved or not approved for weight loss can have some nasty side effects. Even the FDA approved products that have undergone years of clinical trails to address effectiveness and safety, still have a percentage of adverse reactions in some people.
I myself have been on Duromine (Phentermine) and do not recommend it. Especially if you have a little one to look after, the mood swings and insomnia are not pleasant.0 -
Also, from my experience with Duromine. I lost 6kg in three months (the longest a Doctor will give you a script for here in Australia), then put about 16kg back on.
I exercised like crazy and ate next to nothing for 3 months. Probable lost a lot of muscle mass, then reverted back to my old eating habits.
Unfortunately there are no quick, effective and safe pills available yet. Maybe one day. Theres always studdies taking place. This would be a huge industry and I would deffinately invest in shares of the Company that succeeds in developing such a wonder drug.0 -
Long ago, I took numerous supplements, appetite suppressants, diet pills, stimulants and prescription drugs to try to lose weight. They all worked...temporarily. And with detrimental side effects. And I gained all the weight back and then some when I stopped taking them. I learned the hard way, so learn easily from my wasted years and money! I recommend doing it the practical, healthy way - eat reasonable, measured portions to maintain a caloric deficit, eat healthier foods more often than not, avoid excess and exercise regularly.0

Just stick with a healthy calorie count and exercise. I have taken phentermine before and it was ok for like a few days but then I had terrible headaches and insomnia. Don't fall for the diet pills they are just a scam in my personal opinion.0

In case you don't listen to sound advice. At least consult with your doctor before taking anything! Everyone should do that regardless of having a heart condition, but you especially!0 -
Supplements are not the way to teach you new and healthier ways to lose weight and maintain your weight.
Losing weight is part one.. Maintaining it is part two. Learning to eat right, healthy and exercise (if you do this) will all prove to be long term results. Pills are temporary and you end up eating just like you did or even worse... you eat more and gain it back..
Lots of good advise in the previous posts!!0 -
Don't waist your money, instead but some cute work out gear that gets u motivated to work out- that's what i do. And just eat at a deficit. I had a baby a year and a half ago and the weight is finally coming off cuz I'm doing it the right way. Be patient, do it right, u don't need any magic pills, and know it's going to take a bit to get where u want to be, but enjoy the journey there0
