It is the completion of my first week and when I stepped on the scale I was 180.1!!!! Yay, that means I lost 6lbs in 6 days. A lot of the issues I had on day one are no longer a problem. I started last tuesday weighing in at 186.5, I am so psyched.
Hi,
I have approx. 1 month that I go to the gym three times a week and make aerobic exercises. I'm very rigorous with my food and try to eat only cereals, vegetables and fruits. Drink about 2 l of waters/day and I have not loss any grams from my weight.I'm very very upset about this.
What I can do?
Thanks
(Sorry for my English)
First, your fat turns to muscle and so it won't show for some time if you weigh yourself, you will start to notice it though more in your clothes..
Secondly, it's great that your eating correctly, but you need to add iron into your diet, spinach, mushrooms, and small handful of nuts, 6 or 7, as well as other protein, such as fish and yoghurt, dairy products...
You will run out of energy and your body also needs nutrician not starving it....
Nothing wrong with any grilled meats, red should be 2 times a week maximum, 200grms the max and white meat no fat is good for you but still small portions.
So your body could also burn out and not cope without more into your diet.
Hang in there and see in 12 weeks, you will be shocked.

tomorrow is doctor visit number 3:a little bit of an update: tomorrow will be end of wk2 of my diet and I have gone from 186.9-177.6 so, thank you to all of you who have been supportive. Total achieve to date is 9.3lbs. and goal to achieve by new years is 55lbs.
I'm new here and have been fighting my weight issue for quite a while. I had great success with Phen-Fen while it was legal. Most diet pills are not very effective and there is little scientific evidence to back up their claims. Some dieters are having some success with Hoodia, but the evidence is all individual testimonials.
Although the clinical study most cited for this product is absolutely junk science and useless, there are many people who are benefiting from it.
I figure it might be worth trying (at least once). I am doing research on diets and diet pills and publishing the results at *edited link*
I'll check this forum for additional ideas and keep you up to date on my progress.

Do you think it's more of a placebo effect?

I would regard all of them as placebos. These "legit" companies are looking to make a fast buck off of the needy (sorry but it is true). If they were 100% effective in all cases you would see real doctors prescribing them to those who were looking for an easier solution. The key to knowing that most, if not all, work on the basis of placebo effect is their nice little fine print saying "Results not typical. Based on diet plans in addition to routine exercise". That means they are sure as heck are not going to actually promise you real weight loss numbers, so they tell you to exercise and eat right as well so you do see results.Do you think it's more of a placebo effect?
Losing water weight can happen, but keeping it off once you go off of those "magic weight loss pills" is not likely. The actual way your body loses weight is slow. If you are losing 5 lbs a week be worried cause that is not the natural way it should be. It is all about lifestyle changes...working out, actually eating right, and STICKING TO THAT PLAN (that is probably be the hardest thing to do).
There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.
I have loosed a lot of weight after I started my dieting and taking the diet pill, I am taking phentermine which is better suited me and it starter showing me the results in 2 months and still I have been loosing weight. I am even engaged in some exercise which helps to loose faster.

dietcenter is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of all of the misinformation that is being offered by an enitre industry that is NOT REGULATED, has NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE of any kind and CANNOT PROVIDE PROOF that any of these products work.
dietcenter (interesting name, don't you think?) CANNOT provide one shred of SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that ANY OF THE FOLLOWING statements ARE TRUE "by suppressing hunger and appetite, accelerating your body€™s metabolism, preventing the absorption of fat, positively affecting the absorption rate of various nutrients and assisting your body in more effectively using its blood sugars."
These people and the products they sell are the modern day "snake oil" and "snake oil salespeople" who take advantage of the vulnerability and sometime desperation of those dealing with excess weight issues.
THINK ABOUT IT...IF ANY of their claims were true....ANY of their claims, don't you think the drug manufacturer's, pharmacists and medical community would be all over these "BREAKTHROUGHS" and "WONDER DRUGS" ??
The FACTS are that there have only been THREE prescription drugs approved by the FDA in the last THIRTY YEARS for weight loss and these APPROVED drugs only increase weight loss a little bit (about 1/2 pound per week).
The PRODUCTS are garbage, the CLAIMS/STATEMENTS are garbage and NONE of them have ANY scientific proof in the form of research or a study that supports any of it.
The ONLY THING that gets thin is your wallet or bank account.
Your body is a temple....treat it accordingly! Know what you're putting in it and the effects it may have at all times.
All of the above is offered as my opinion.
