Re: Weight loss pills

I dont do diets, I dont have the will power, but have gone up from 10stone, to 13stone and need to shift it. I was chatting to my Doctor and telling her about my angst, She said the issue was the wrong sort of sugar, get the correct sugar in between meals. So she got me some protien shakes with what they term good sugars. I have to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner as norm, but take a shake, mid morn, mid afternoon and one in the evening if I get a craving. Wow it works, I have had no cravings. Infact I have a lot more energy, and the weight is coming off. The shakes are specifically designed for Athletes as they loose vital sugars during training, Apparently Mummy's do to. LOL.

Luv,Winnie.xx

Re: Weight loss pills

I have tried so many different diets out there and a ton of diet pills too. I found that Xenedrine and Hydroxycut were very helpful in staving off hunger. I felt so wired most of the time that food wasn't an issue. They really helped me initially to get focused and lose some weight, but I could never stay on them for long. There are so many options available these days. Check out this site for more information:

I don't know about you...but  these diet  pills and weight loss fads make me a little nervous.  Money making ploys I say.  Is there any such thing as a quick fix?  If so,  how do they work and what are they doing to your bodies.     I know the most weight I have ever lost was a diet secret told to me by a friend.  Easy, she said...just cut out flour and sugar.  I didn't think it would be that difficult to do.  Wrong.  There is sugar and flour in everything it seemed, but once I figured it out, got into an eating routine, the weight just fell off .  I think protein is key in any weight loss regeme and of course  lots of water.  Bottom line is, we just need to eat healthy and give our body the fuel it needs to stay energized and healthy.  Our kids just want a healthy mum and no matter what our weight is I'm sure they think we're beautiful.  Shame on society for making us think we have to be slim to be beautiful.

What is really good is pure apple cider either in juice or pills. Take 2 with each meals, it help ur body to desolve fat and also drink a lot of grapejuice 100% not the pink grapejuice. Before starting on diet would need to do a good cleansing, at a health store they would have good quality cleanser and u need to follow instruction until the end of product. It should cost around 50 to 70$ but u will feel so much better after because u need to get the excess water and garbage accumulated in ur intestine and body. Try eat u will have more energy because u will feel lighter after the cleanser. If u have a medical problem make sure to mention it at the health store owner, make sure it is the owner. Usually those products are made from different plants. Give it a try.

PMSL you do realise that when you are detoxing you cannot eat foods such as bacon and maccas.... you have to eat alll healthy stuff!
Only fruit and veges and the leanest cuts of meats.... because your body is trying to clean out all the bad from your body....and i am telling you now....when buying a detox program from a health food shop.... you wanna be awfully close to a toilet at all times! and make sure you have lots of toilet paper too!

Thats right! Or you can do your own detox which involves juicing celery and carrots, and drinking 2 litres of celery and carrot juice a day as well as your water, and eating your fruit veg and lean meat!
No bacon, no eggs, nothing! Just healthy food! Your body needs to clean out itself first! Do this for a good two weeks, remembering to keep all meals you have small! if you have 5 small meals a day you will be fine!
after 2 weeks keep your meals small, still at 5 a day, but you can then introduce take away. perhaps once a week....but only have a small meal deal in stead of a large! or have one burger in stead of the full meal deal, and have a drink from home!
I find that if i keep my meals small and eat more regularly (5 times a day) I can lose weight more easily....but everyone is different!

Carrot juice taste really bad
I tried carrot juice before and it was very very  bad to taste so i can not imagine doing it for two weeks, for a lot of us it would be discouraging. An over the counter cleanser usually comes in a capsule or liquid but u need to take it by small amount two to three times a day.U go to the bathroom once or twice in the morning after breakfast. Than again once during the day. For the first days maybe more but after the rest of the two week it will be once or twice a day. It is good to do a cleanser if u stay at home or if u work from home so u feel more confortable.I would give a cleanser's name but then after i might be told that i am promoting the product so just go to a good drugstore or health store and they have them there.  For sure if u do a cleanser it will make u go to bathroom, if it doesn't make u go it is because the cleanser is not working.

lol you know what we really should do? everyone should start a different way of losing weight on a particular day. actually mulitple people, say 3, each do the same type thing and we keep it up for a month and see who can lose the most weight.

we can call it the Minti Weight-Loss Challenge. This could be huge. If you rekon it could work let me know and I will organise it. If we all go at it together, we could work at motivating one another and this could be so much fun. What you think?

You can detox with using stuff in your kitchen! If you have a juicer, or if you can buy a juicer (breanna will benefit from it too with fresh oj...yum yum) you can do your own detox by juicing celery and carrots....you need to cut out all bad fats though! And it needs to be done for 2 weeks! Anyway, read my posts! lol

The best diet is moderation!
I have found that i can eat anything so long as it is in moderation! I eat 6 small meals a day and weigh only 55kg! I have lost a total of 10 kg in the last 2 months by doing this! I have also found that if i go to a big reasaurant and order a large meal i can only eat a small portion!
Also, if you have a glass of water about 10 min before each meal, and if you eat your meal slowly, it will allow you to enjoy and appreciate the flavours of your meal, you will also fill up and feel less bloated.... mix with a walk 2 times a week or just chase your child around the house (Thats enough exercise for me) and you should be losing weight in no time!

I think any weight loss pills will work if you have the right frame of mind. But i believe mind power is stronger than any diet pill you can buy over the counter and you have to want to do it for yourself FIRST.

I tried a prescribed weight loss pill that was really expensive and didnt work.  I tried the detox program and another pill and powder from the chemist that also didnt work. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome which makes it really hard to lose weight.

In april this year I ran into a friend who I hadnt seen for a couple of months and I hardly recognised her.  She had lost 17kg in 2-3 months. 

She went on the cohens diet. I had to try it!!!!!!

 I have just finished the re feeding cycle of this program and have lost 19kg in total.  It is an expensive up front diet ($600) but you have it for life..it really works. I had tried everything....I mean everything!!!

Basically you have an initial blood test and it tells them what your body is intolerant to etc...you work out your goal weight and they work out your eating plan and how long it should take you to lose the weight needed,  and from then on you have a blood test every month to see how you are going.  It happens so fast you wont believe it.

www.cohens.com.au is the website and I recommend everyone trying to lose weight to read the testimonials on there.

I now have people ignoring me because they dont recognise me..its hilarious!!!!

Good Luck Sweetie and if you have anymore questions about this please ask.......all I can say is that it is hard...BUT IT REALLY WORKS!!!!!
