hi :) am not sure whats available in the markets...but, this is what i did to lose weight... PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS... pills are nothing but anorectic agents... they make you feel less hungry... there is no way to loose weight fast... though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly... it has to be combined with diet and excercise... pills are very bad in the long run... can lead to impotency and infertility...\n\ni lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...\n\njust dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...\n\ni'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)\n\nthe trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)\n\nwhat you should cut down :\noil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...\n\nvegetables / meat to avoid :\npotatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...\n\nfruits to avoid :\nmangoes , bananas , jackfruit\n\n\nnow that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)\n\nhere they come :)\n\nfast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...\n\nits best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...\n\n\nmy diet...\nbreakfast:\n\nskimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something... Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet...\n\nand try cereal in the mornings... weetabix... etc... have a good breakfast...alwaays use brown bread... whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction...\n\n\nfor lunch , we are staple rice eaters... rice is bad for fat reduction... but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed... everyone takes rice here... so... rice - one cup - 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil... all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday... that would be just for seasoning... also using olive oil helps a lot...\n\n\nthen for dinner... compulsarily have wheat... pasta is a good option...but make sure you buy wheat pasta... check before buying... and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces... some varities of sauces are acceptable... as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general... you can use tomato spicy sauces etc... make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 - 3 spoons per day... (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course... eat a lot of fruits and vegetables... and all kinds of cereal... if you are hungry... eat a fruit... or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice... but no puffed corn... corn products again put on weight...\n\n\neat sandwiches as m

YES!  You probably don't want to hear this but weight watchers.  My best friend was morbidly obese and lost 87 lbs.  Now she is at a healthy weight and has kept it off for 3 years.  I gained a lot of weight a couple of years ago and lost 27 lbs and have kept it off.  It isn't difficult-it teaches you how to eat responsibly...and you aren't constantly "dieting".  You can go out to eat and have a beer or whatever, but you have to be good the rest of that day.  It all balances out.  You use a point system (and you can get a points calculator and information online or I'd be glad to help too).  Anyway, I have tried the cabbage soup diet, atkins diet, low fat diet, vegetarian diet, starvation diet...and the weight loss was quick but only a few pounds and it always came back.  If you want a diet that works and keeps the weight off, you need to follow weight watchers.  The normal weight loss is 2 lbs a week, sometimes more, especially in the first week.  It feels so good to be healthy and energetic!  The only downside is that you may want to attend meetings and they are approx $10/wk.  I did it for free strictly by reading online message boards and googling "weight watchers information".  guess it helped that my friend went through it before me.  Some people need the meetings as motivation and to keep on track.  I wish I could show before and after pictures of my friend!  They are awesome!

none.  ive taken diet pills and they never worked for me.  my fiancee took Carb curb and said that it worked well for him.   but diet pills always make me feel gross.  i took trimspa and follwed it as the directions stated and didnt lose a pound.  i found exercise and a healthy diet worked good.  stay under 1500 calories and you'll lose weight

Not sure if it works yet, but I am trying it. I started today. I bought a 14 day plan and menu on ebay for cheap. It looks fairly easy to stick to compared to other diets I've tried. send me an email\n\nchuckehall2000@yahoo.com

SLIMMING WORLD!! Fantastic as you don't buy "special diet foods" as some of the other clubs recommend. You buy ordinary every day foods. I believe that SW gears you up to CHANGE the way you eat & view food forever. You don't want to spend the rest of your life buying Weight Watchers ready meals now, do you?! SW teaches you to combine foods for healthy meals, and from it, you automatically develop a healthy approach to your eating. Great thing is, if like me, you have a big appetite, it's the one to go for as you can eat loads & still lose weight. LOVE IT!

Whether you like him or not, you have to respect Dr Phil just because of one thing.\n\nHe continually asks his guests’ one simple question: "How's it working for you?"\n\nSuccess in anything comes from FINDING WHAT WORKS then DOING WHAT WORKS.\n\nI am going to reveal to you the “Secret Weight Loss Formula” that Celebrity personal trainers use to get their clients lean and fit in record time.\n\nBefore I reveal the secret, first I need to explain to you that there is process that your body goes through to burn body fat. \n\nSo how does your body burn fat?\n\nIt is a two-step process and in order to lose body fat you need to:\n\n1.Release the fat from the fat cells and only then\n2.You can burn the fat\n\nHow does your body release the fat from the cells?\n\nBefore you can turn your body into a fat burning machine, here’s what needs to happen: your body fat needs to be released from the fat cells. You can accomplish this step successfully with your nutrition program. Here are some specific tips that you can apply right away to achieve that.\n\n1.Eat 4-6 small, frequent meals and never skip meals.\n2.Eat natural foods; avoid processed & refined foods\n3.Eat lean proteins with each meal.\n4.Eat more complex carbs, fruits & vegetables.\n5.Drink plenty of water\n\n\nHow does your body burn the fat? \n\nWhen you go on a restrictive diet and then combine it with excessive cardiovascular workouts. You are destined to reach the dreaded weight loss plateau.\n\nHere is the reason behind the plateau; you have burned more muscle tissue than fat with your workouts (and restrictive dieting). This is the worst thing that could happen if you want long term and permanent results.\n\nLet me explain. \n\nExcessive cardio + restrictive dieting = Less Muscle mass = slower metabolism = Weight loss plateau = Yo-Yo dieting\n\nSo how do you break this vicious cycle?\n\nHow to burn fat instead muscle mass?\n\nYou need to do some MODERATE cardio training. The key word here is moderate. \nCombining restrictive dieting with too much cardio can be detrimental and I am sure you have seen those people that are doing cardio on a daily basis and still not getting anywhere. The result is a low metabolism. Low metabolism means, your body fat is not going anywhere, anytime soon. Here is what you need to do:\n\n1.Do some moderate cardio training; the key word here is moderate\n2.Never “diet” but consume just a little fewer calories than you do burn on a daily basis (No starvation diets, Please...)\n\nYour muscle tissue is your best friend when it comes to burning body fat. You need to preserve muscle tissues in order to keep losing weight. \n\nMost people go on a starvation diet combined a lot of cardio to lose weight. At first it may seems like this is working because the scale is saying so.  \n\nNow think about, scale weight does not tell you if weight loss is from fat, water or muscle tissue. Starvation diets combined with excessive cardio make you lose mostly muscle mass, water weight. \n\nScale weight by itself is not a good indicator of success.\n\nThe solution\n\nTo maintain muscle mass you need to:\n1.Do some resistance training. (This is not optional, it is mandatory)\n\n\nThe secret\n\nNow that you understand the whole fat burning process, I am going to reveal to you how celebrity personal trainers do to get those amazing transformations. The strategy is to combine all the steps that I outlined so the body works as a unit.  First, the trainer makes sure that his client is eating the proper food on a regular basis. \n\nBy that, I mean eating so that fat WILL be released from the fat cells. Then and only then they exercise the body to burn the fat. The important idea to take from this is:\n\n"The fat can ONLY be burned after it is released from the fat cells".\n\nIf you know anybody that has been exercising like a maniac and they don't seem to go anywhere, now you know why.\n\nThe reverse is also true, do you know some

I had a friend who did it, he is still chubby because like with all "diets", when he was "done" he went back to eating the way he did before.\n\nThere is no perfect "diet" but there is a healthy lifestyle you can follow. No white flour, no potato, no white rice, only complex carbs, no sugar, more green vegies than the other colors and lean meats, beans and whey for protien.

I've been thinking about going back on it. I lost close to thirty pounds in the first month but I also switched to water from Pepsi. I also didn't much care for the side effect so I cut a lot of fat from my diet which lessened the trips to the bathroom. If you do try it, don't get discouraged by the lack of pounds coming off because it seems to take the inches off first. I wish you well.

Yes.\n\nPlease, please please don't continue with this unhealthy diet treadmill as it will mess up your body's metabolism (that's how your body deals with food). Diets put the body under additional stress. You need fat on your body to ensure it develops properly and that you don't have bone thinning or fertility problems later in life. I suggest you go to http://www.dove.co.uk/uk_en/ and check out their campaign for real beauty feature - every woman deserves to be made to feel beautiful without conforming to an impossible to achieve image created by the media. \n\nIf you're worried about it, read the following carefully and think about what you want and why you want it. Is it to fit in or is it because you want to be healthy (not thin, thin isn't automatically healthy).\n\nThere is no such thing as a safe quick weight loss. Diets and diet pills don't work they just act on the pituitary gland (this is a part of the body in the brain that helps make your body work properly). Diets make the body lose water not fat (water loss means weight loss). It's good to exercise or run about and have fun as anything which raises your pulse and makes you sweat is good. If you don't eat enough the body goes into "famine" mode if it doesn't get enough norishment (ie, it thinks it's being starved) and stores anything it does get as fat, rather than glucose (glucose is a form of sugar which is what every cell in your body uses for energy). Every cell in your body respires (this is like breathing - good stuff goes in and bad goes out) and this uses energy, ie, food. Without enough energy, your metabolism slows and food is stored as fat. Incidentally, who says you need to lose weight and do you really need to lose the weight? The only thing guaranteed to get a body healthy (note I don't say "lose weight") is to exercise and eat a healthy, balanced, wide variety of foods plus the occasional treat in moderation (this stops any food becoming "naughty" and therefore craved). Please note that body muscles weigh four times more than body fat because the fibres are so much closer together. Some fat is important on the body though as it helps regulate hormonal levels in the body and prevents osteoporosis and other bone wasting diseases in later life. Some fat is important on women as too little can cause periods to stop and fertility problems. Girls are made differently to boys and a totally flat stomach and no hips isn't healthy on a woman. The question to ask yourself is - how do you look in a mirror - not how much do you weigh. If you think you look untoned, then include some excercise using light weights (low weight, lifted lots of times) into your life.\n\nI have friends who have taken up Pilates and although they never lost weight, their clothes looked fantastic on them, their posture improved and their entire bodies firmed up. I watched this happen. Pilates strengthens your core muscles (the ones that hold your skeleton in place) which makes you stand properly which makes you look slimmer. I believe that yoga also does this although I don't know anyone who has done this. Additionally, try dance (old style ballroom / salsa) as this is a fun way to tone up. Any excercise / activity that raises your heart rate and makes you sweat BUT IS FUN will ensure you stick to it and get fitter.\n\nAdditionally, drink lots of water. Lots of people eat when they are in fact thirsty. If you feel hungry, drink a glass of water first and if you're still hungry half an hour later, then eat. Eat sensibly and regularly and don't forget to eat breakfast (so named because it "breaks" the night's "fast"). Missing breakfast starts the day off badly as your body will just crave and store anything you eat later as fat. Try to avoid having too many fizzy, sugar filled drinks or a lot of fried (especially deep fried) foods. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables. Try n

I was in the same predicament last year!!!\n\nHere's what I did! \n\nI started working out with weights for 20 minutes and on the treadmill by both running and power walking for 30 minutes (2miles).  \n\nI ate small portion meals (6 meals a day) with a fruit or yogurt in between to build up my matabolism and drank 8 glasses of water per day. I drank nothing else but water.\n\nI cut out all sugar snacks and sugar drinks like sodas, fruit juices etc...\n\nI made sure I took a multi vitamin a day that contain every thing especially iron .\n\nAnd to top it off, I noticed I felt more energized when I got at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep at night!!!\n\nI did all this and the pounds dropped with no problem, and up to date, I am still with the same excercise and food routine, and I am phyically fit than I've ever been in my life.\n\nThis will work for you but you have to be dedicated to a healthy eating habit and motivated for a great workout. \n\nGood Luck!!!

Yes It worked - and it was wonderful - It does take a lot of discipline but you see the weight coming off and it makes you feel soooo good- The nutrients they sell ( I think thats how they make their money) are what gets you going and fill in where you miss food.\nI used to weigh 149 when I went on it - and I weighed 116 when I was done - I did it in 4 months and it stayed off for a while- Of course if you dont make your diet a habit, you will gain the weight back slowly- I weigh 135 now ( 7 years later).\nYou should try it - Good luck

I have done it several times over the last 25 years with good success each time.  It is the only diet that really is based on real-life food and real-life situations (going out to eat, etc.)  \n\nEach time, I lost at least twenty-five pounds over a period of months and kept it off until I lost my discipline.  \n\nI was motivated by the early results - which, based on the latest plans, give you good results early on.  This gave me great encouragement to go on to see how long I could do it.\n\nEach time, I had a goal in mind besides the number of pounds.  There was some event or health condition that I wanted to overcome.  \n\nEven now, I am approximately 65 pounds below my peak weight which was in the year 2000.  I have about 40 pounds to go, but am concentrating on just keeping from gaining weight right now.

i think its completely bogus.i don't think any supplement out there right now'll do jack for anything but emptying your pocket.i had some success back in @ '98-'99 w/ twin labs diet fuel,but thay have since changed the active ingredients due to lawsuits.& yep,you guessed it,the new version sux.\n\njust work on lifestyle changes,such as,diet & exercise(i know,dirty,dirty words).but thats the road i went down @ a year & a half ago,& have noticed much better results & complete change in my body & health(down from 265lbs to 194lbs on a 5'11" frame).that doesn't mean no self indulgence at all.i'm a pretty big beer drinker but my belly is still shrinking.just remember,low carbs,keep fat intake to good unsaturated fats,high fiber/protien.& don't be turned off by lowfat/no fat diet foods,they've come quite a long way w/the taste factor(i only eat fat free cheese,&i swear it tastes the same.& i am a cheese fanatic).but do remember that over indulgence of anything,be it lowfat/no fat or full bore,complete shit for you,WILL MAKE YOU FAT!\n\nGOOD LUCK!!!
