I thought I'd write down my diet journey for y'all now I've joined you guys on the Apidexin trail! The reason for writing all this is that I know deep down that I have a love affair with food. Not junk food. Just food generally. I love it. Food attracts me like a magnet. If there’s a basket of fruit around, a sweetie bowl, some cheese, any kind of roast meat, etc, I’ll gorge. So it’s really all about eating habits with me, not cutting out this and that. Quantity is my bad habit!
I’m 5ft 7ins / 170 cm tall and a narrow athletic build. All my life, people have always said I didn’t need to diet. People say it even now although I’m 48 lbs / 3 st / 22.7 kg heavier than I was when I got married at aged 23. I started dieting at age 19 when I found I weighed 168 lbs / 12 stone / 76 kg. What with starving myself and counting calories cos that was 'the way' back then, I got down to 140 lbs / 10 stone / 63.5 kg and stuck there for a couple of years.
When I was 21, I shared a college room with a model. I went to the docs and burst into tears because I had a little roll of belly fat when I leaned forward. I know now that I was no way overweight still weighing 140 lbs / 10 stone / 63.5 kg but it was relative to the glamour girl I was sharing with. The doc kindly put me on Ponderax - now that really was a magic pill - I lost all the weight I wanted and fast! I was so excited, I went back for more tablets but the doc wouldn't prescribe them. Now many years later of course, they blame Ponderax for the onset of heart problems in later life so I guess it's a good job I didn't get more!
I kept that weight off and remained around 133-140 lbs through getting married, having a couple of kids etc.
When middle age hit me at 45, I’ started to put on weight, so I did Atkins which was easy because I liked the food, had a busy job and didn't have tempting snacks around. Got right down to 140 lbs again easily. But the moment I stopped, just as everyone said, I piled on the pounds again.
My story is exactly that, regardless of the diet. Whatever I lost, I piled it back on, and more because I love food. So my dieting journey became a ritual. Eat myself silly until Easter then diet for the summer holiday. It has always worked unless for some reason, summer wasn’t going to be a bikini job - which provided me with an excuse NOT to diet that year.
As I got older, I tried other diets. The Detox diet came first and it didn't work for me but did for my husband. The Zone diet was brilliant as it worked really well and fast, but I couldn't be phaffed with all the mathematics involved, specific foods and the sheer amount of food you had to eat - and for a kinda greedy person, that's really saying something!
At age 53, I had lipo on my stomach and it was fantastic. I felt like a new woman. However the surgeon did warn me that now the fat cells had been removed from my stomach, any added weight I got would have to find somewhere else to go. Sure enough, I put weight on my back and love handles, but the most sinister fat of all, and the riskiest health-wise, is what is called 'deep fat'. This is the fat that’s behind ‘middle aged spread’ thing. You can have a flatish stomach and be trim in terms of the pinch test, but fat piles on around your internal organs so that your girth measurement just gets bigger. That's why people with middle age spread can look broad from front to back at the waist even if they're not carrying rolls.
Anyway, to get rid of the new fat sitting on my back, I found a brilliant diet that allowed me to eat all my favourite foods and eat more frequently. You had an automatic Diet Generator where you chose your favourite foods and the diet regime was produced for you. For me, the food itself became the ‘wonder pill’ as food grouping is tried and tested and works. The Diet 4 Idiots had a ‘quick start’ alternative called Beyond Calories, which for me was the best. So why am I not on that again? It still doesn’t address my food behaviour. It all needs too much forward planning and an eye on the clock for it to work. Plus it’s not a sociable diet if you normally eat with family.
So why am I trying Adipexin? I know that the Ponderax worked for me all those years ago because its function was to speed up the metabolism and that’s why Adipexin appealed to me, even though it’s not as powerful as Ponderax.
I’m only 5 days in so know it’s pointless even mentioning weight gain and loss so soon as with any approach to losing weight, water loss happens. I know it's exciting when you go on a new regime, full of hope, etc and you weigh yourself a couple of times a day! Don't do it! Just weigh once a week and then you'll get a clearer idea if anything is working or not.
For those who were asking, the DetoxUfree is simply something that’s supposed to cleanse the system - hence the increased need to pee. The pee is carrying away all that toxin (allegedly). I was interested to read a posting earlier on this thread that the contents of the D-U-F pill smelled like the colon detox pills, because I saw a TV exposé of the colon plaque scam and how it’s the pills themselves that produce all that ‘plaque’ material that is elimated from the body. So, just as I expected, after taking the D-U-F capsules for a couple of days, I poo’d for the nation and lost some weight through it. But I don’t even count that in assessing whether or not this pill-taking is going to be a success.
I know myself from experience that I’m not likely to change my food habits overnight. Exercise is good and it’s a must to maintain health and get toned. But I’m not a fitness fanatic so I’m not planning to become one of those overnight either!
One thing I have learned over the years is that if you start a new diet and add on a whole load of other things like completely changing your food choices and suddenly doing a load of exercising, it can be too many goals at the one time.
I want to see if these pills actually do ANYTHING? If I change my food and start exercising like mad, how do I know if it isn’t just those changes that have resulted in the weight loss? So I’m starting with just the pills and staying on the same food and exercise practice I always have. Like I said, I’m not a junk food eater so I don’t think, for me, that it’s a problem.
If the Adipexin pills really do enhance the metabolism then there should be a result even without changing my diet or my exercise patterns.
So I will become a tester of the pill on its own without the additional beneficial extras. The only thing I will do is drink more because you need water to flush out the junk in your body. Just one other thing, while I’m ranting on here. You need a lot of water, but excess water drinking is actually bad for you as it dilutes the stomach acids and can effect the digestive processes.
BTW, as I'm a bit allergic to caffeine - sleeplessness and itchiness - I was expecting side effects. I've had none at all apart from the excess poo and some gas with the initial D-U-F pills but that part of things has stopped now.
I’ll keep you posted!
