My husband, who does research at the University of Hawaii med school, was telling me this weekend about a clinical study they saw a presentation on demonstrating how bitter melon helped control borderline diabetes in rats, which resulted in significant weight loss after their bloodsugar was stabilized.\nSo guess what we bought at the nutrition store this weekend? ;)

A good hoodia product will definitely help your weight loss program, but I'd get a supplement that has a metabolism booster as well.\n\nI take a supplement called Herbalean, and it contains hoodia and the recently un-banned ephedra Ma Huang. It's made by the people that originally made MetaboLife 356, and their new fomula works very well for me. I have a lot of energy, and have completely stopped snacking between meals.

I'm tired of people condescendingly saying all you have to do is eat less and exercise. Yes, that may work for YOU, but does NOT work for everyone. I tried everything (yes, including regular exercise!) and finally had to stop taking a prescription that I knew was preventing weight loss (I always research meds before taking them). I knew my thyroid was low but it was not low enough to treat medically so I got no help there. Finally my GP gave me phentermine and I have lost 42-43 pounds in a year. It is not a magic pill. You still have to eat less and exercise, but it makes those two things effective. In the long run you do have to develop healthier habits.  And stay away from soy. It suppresses your thyroid, which controls your metabolism.

There is a program called ShapeWorks its found on www.differentu.com and the products are all natural. There are some diet pills in the program but the best part is you personalize your own program to fit your needs. They have Nutritional shake mixes, protein bars/drinks, other snacks and things of that nature to help you lose weight. They also have a number of herbal teas that promote weight loss. I know they work because I take them and in my first week I lost 8 lbs and in one month I lost 20 lbs and thats without exercise!!! NO JOKE. So check it out and see what you think. God bless you and I wish you the best in your decision.

The theory behind Acupuncture for weight loss, is that it may help to curb appetite, depress cravings, rid excess water, and stimulate the pituitary gland to burn off extra calories. Scientific studies do not seem to strongly support this notion at present however

Tea in general (or water!) "aids digestion", and if you like it, Pu-Erh will do so too, though no better or worse than any other beverage as far as I can tell.  There are some studies indicating it may help lower cholesterol, but there is no magic drink that can aid 'weight loss'.  The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume.  Eat less, exercise more.

Homeopathy is water peddling.  The concepts are wrong.  If you are going to use herbal medicines, use high doses, not low doses as homeopathy would have you believe.  Make sure you research dosages and dangers before you try any substance.  Seeing a doctor is always the best bet, because everything they do is regulated by a medical board.  Homeopathy and herbal medicine are not regulated.

Nope, they ALL have side effects. Go see your GP though, they can probably help you find something that will aid weight loss without any side effects that will get in the way of your life!

Yes, hypnosis can be very effective in helping people both lose and manage their weight.\n\nWorking with a hypnotherapist can help you address the most important factors for permanent weight loss: healthy eating, motivation to exercise, portion control, and identifying and removing triggers that may cause "emotional eating."\n\nI found a great story from ABC titled "More Dieters Turning to Hypnosis." The link to this article is provided below:

I have used homeopathic medicines for years.  They are deffinately effective.  You can buy them at any health food store and some pharmacies.  If you are looking for a doctor, you need to look for a "Naturopath" they are the ones that are knowledgable about Homeopathy.  Homeopathic remedies are effective for emotional, mental and physical issues so you need to consider alot of factors in chosing a remedy.  You can order the remedies online too.  The website below will help you find the remedy you need.  Good luck

The healthy way of losing weight is at only 2.5 - 4 kgs/month. Anything beyond this is unhealthy. If your goal is to look good and feel great and do this for even the next "parties or get together", then I woudl suggest you do it the healthy way. To do this, you need to drink plenty of water. The prescribed is 8 to 10 glasses of water but if you can drink 10 - 15 glasses a day that is good as it hastens your metabolism and flushes out toxins from your body. Another is to do exercise or do a lot of house work requiring exertion of effort to get you sweating. Try to spead your usual three meals to six small meals. Cut down or eliminate burgers, fries, and softdrinks!\n\nWhen that family event comes, suggest you dress in dark colors or stripes to accentuate lenght and not width (or girth).\n\nHope this helps you.

I've actually used 2 different kinds. hydroxycut really helped me lose pounds. just remember to eat healthy. they encourage NOT to starve yourself and just consistently eat breakfast, lunch, dinner as well as healthy snacks. just remember to work out (run, weights, etc) equivalent to what you ate. Also to drink lots and lots of water. I was able to lose 6 pounds in 3 weeks with decent meals, and exercise. thats about 2 lbs a week.  Some people i know actually lost more. They werent at all starving themselves. they just worked out more frequently.\n\nI tried Fahrenheit and its horrible. made me crazy. i always felt jittery and as soon as i got off of it, i started getting really bad migraines. even a nose bleed.\n\nI'll be trying Smartburn Hoodia for woman this month and hopefully i get good results.\n\nI would go back to hydroxycut but ive heard good things about smartburn hoodia.
