Adios .....

I just stole this from Adiosweight loss.com and after reading this, I am POSITIVE its not a good idea..........


"Adios and Adios Max systems believe in the usage laxatives and diuretics, in its weight loss program. These components found naturally are relatively mild compared to their pharmaceutical alternatives. Their lack of potency is a blessing in disguise because they do not disrupt the absorption of nutrients. At the same time, they work overtime preventing water retention in the body.

Some say, that losing water weight is no big deal. However, one cannot ignore the psychological benefits accruing from it. These little victories play a big role in keeping a person motivated. And, lack of motivation, is a big factor due to which people drop out of a health program."

It seems that its going to essentially give you water diarhea the whole while you are taking it!

Yes i'm definitely peeing more

I'm sorry but I am all for doing it myself without taking drugs of any kind to loose weight. I watch what I eat and sweat my butt of exercising regularly and feel really pleased with myself seeing the scale go down, knowing its my own hard work that is resulting in this.

I hear what you're saying , but what if you've been losing steadily since joining in January , and then nothing for months , asking yourself why , why , why bloody why , haven't last anymore , maybe for some of us, anything else is worth a try !

At the of the day we all have different bodies doing different things , i eat healthy , i exercise regularly and drink loads of bloody water, but i'm obviously one of those ppl that retain water, so why shouldn't i get a bit of extra help to get rid of it, if i don't need, it's extra weight i have to carry around

What is Water Retention?

Water retention is also known by its more medical term, edema. This is a condition that results when water leaks into the body tissues from the blood. In normal circumstances, the fluid is drained from the body tissues through the lymphatic system – a network of tubes throughout the body that removes waste and extraneous material, and empties it back into the bloodstream.

Water retention problems arise when fluid is not removed by the lymph system properly, it is retained in the body tissues where it causes swelling (edema). Water retention in the body is most common in the feet and legs, but it can occur in the hands, arms, abdominal cavity (ascites) and around the lungs (known as pulmonary edema).
Types of Water Retention

There are two main categories of water retention, generalized edema and localized edema. Generalized edema refers to swelling that occurs throughout the body while localized edema refers to the swelling in specific parts of the body.
Water Retention and Weight Gain

It is very common for even healthy adults to experience weight fluctuations due to water retention, which account for many day-to-day fluctuations on the scale. While most people can retain up to five pounds of "hidden" water weight within the natural fluid that surrounds cells, known as extra-cellular fluid, those who are overweight or suffer from obesity people may retain up to eight to ten pounds.

I'd be quite interested to hera any feedback about this as well as I've considered trying it as I suffer badly from water gain, especially if i drink alcohol my weight shoots up for a couple of days before dropping again.

I totally agree with the alcohol thing, i drank far too much on friday/saturday woke up dehydrated saturday morning, which probably triggered my body to store more
