weightloss drugs

I think you should not touch those things. If it really works, and if you don't die of it (because some people died because of those kinds of drugs), you can be sure to take back the weight after you stop using them. I think you should get good eating habits (and use this site to help you) and do exercices. THAT'S THE ONLY GOOD WAY! I can tell you tha I've lost 12 pounds in less than 2 months on this site. Please! Don't hurt yourself! There is no miracle to obtein what you want!

I agree with the others - it may SEEM to help for a little while but you can't take them forever & they'll screw up your metabolism. Who knows what kind of long term damage they do - you never know. One day 40 years from now they'll discover that these kinds of things cause cancer or something crazy like that. Don't do it!

Do it the safe & healthy way!

Stick with the MFP program - you'll see the results!

I don't like to quote Oprah, but once on her show she said: "If there was a pill, don't you think I'd have it?" She's a go-zillionaire, and for her, too it's careful eating and exercise.

There's no long term substitute for good old fashioned reduced calories and exercise. A pill might help short term, but as soon as you stop taking it, the weight comes back, sometimes more than before!

From wikipedia
...Clenbuterol is a β2 adrenergic agonist with some similarities to ephedrine, but its effects are more potent and longer-lasting as a stimulant and thermogenic drug. It causes an increase in aerobic capacity, CNS stimulation, and an increase in blood pressure and oxygen transportation. ...
Recently clenbuterol has been touted as a weight loss drug and in some countries is prescribed as a bronchodilator for asthma patients...
...Its ability to induce weight gain and a greater proportion of muscle to fat makes its illegal use in livestock popular...
...In September 2006 over 330 people in Shanghai were reported to have been poisoned by eating pork contaminated by Clenbuterol that had been fed to the animals to keep their meat lean...
...Having brought this out, let me say that when I trained race horses for many years, we use a form of "bute" on horses as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory to reduce inflammation, ease pain and it could weight gain or loss, among other side effects.
Now considering this, are you willing to take the chance of damaging joints and brain cells only to find out that it caused weight gain instead of weight loss. I have seen plenty of people in the barn area (called the backside of the track) taking handfuls of bute and other drugs and some were fat and remained fat.
Anytime we deal with unapproved medications we take the chance of getting "drugs", sometimes being sold, and are unapproved for good reason and sometimes out of date. Out of date drugs will start to deteriorate/decompose and change their chemical makeup. This could be bad.
It could damage your bronchial
We all know what resulted with Ephedrine. "Bad, very bad"
Down the road this friend you have that suggested this drug may have health problems related to this drug. Is it worth it for a quick fix? Saying no doesn't always stop someone from taking a drug illegally. Have you gone to jail lately?
I started going to my family physician and with her bent ear and a growing support group of medical professionals and this site, I am losing weight slowly and steadily. I am, at 53, learning to eat right and eat the right foods. Drugs don't teach us how to eat properly and with control. The old saying goes that we didn't gain our weight and eating habits over night and they don't go away overnight so take time and get support, don't rely on drugs, illegal drugs at that.
Good luck. We love ya here and we will support you all we can. Keep coming here, keep asking questions and keep that chin up.
