in Introduce Yourself
Hi. Had anyone on here tried the national slimming centre?
I went there yesterday and have bought a 2 week supply of their slimming aid phentermine.
I have lost 6 stone thru exercise and diet but have put on weight recently due to poor eating choices!
I train 6 days a week. A mix of HIIT and weight training.
NCS have put me on an 1100 calories a day diet and I am allowed nothing extra for the 5-600 calories I burn every morning.
I did question this with the doctor as I am not (that!) stupid!
Just wondering if anyone had any success with their appetite suppressants or whether once again I have mugged myself off!!!!

    if you lost 6 stone before, why not just do that again?

    Because I've stopped losing and felt I needed a little nudge!!

    you said you gained back because of bad eating habits - so change those habits?

    I am! I am back to my paleo diet, but got disappointed that with all the exercise nothing was shifting.
    I just wondered if anyone had any experience of the national slimming centre really!!

    not many people on here would agree with/support a diet where you're supposed to eat 1000 cals and no exercise calories.

    I would suggest you try MFP instead of paying for more appetite suppressants and going down the starving yourself route, but thats just me!

    I am with you, I just wanted a little kick! But it's only kicking my bank balance!!!!!
    I had forgotten about this app so I will use this, I know what to eat, I know how to exercise so I will just keep doing what I'm doing!!!

    So I wrote to NCS and explained that I must of been having a moment of madness to sign up to take their ridiculous pills and to follow a starvation diet! I must have put it very eloquently, as I am getting a full refund!!! (it was mentioned repeatedly that there were no refunds at yesterday's meeting!!)
    Will trust in my own willpower, my love of exercise and putting all my food and exercise into MFP!!!
