Q: Best diet pill?
i did a little bit of research and found out what ingredients would be less harmfull to me. they are : SYNEPHRINE, CHROMIUM, GARCINIA CAMBOGIA, HYDROXYATRIC ACID, AND GREEN TEA. but i still need some advice as to which one to use. and i also heard of PHENTERMINE, how can i get a doctors prescription? cuz most doctors will say, "eat right, excersie" i tried it, but i think i have a slow metabolism. someone help!!! i want to loose about 30-40lbs. im getting to big for my liking, i think im at 170 lbs. right now. :( i dont know excatly, im scared to weigh myself.

A: Add PHENTERMINE to you list that is more harmful. There are two all natural weight loss ingredients that are better than any you listed. They are Cha de Bugre and Hoodia Gordonii, they are both safe and have no side effects. Cha de Bugre, is a new weight loss supplement that is growing in popularity and is similar to Ma Huang (Ephedrine) without any of the bad effects. Cha de Bugre is from Brazil and has been used there safely for centuries. Cha de Bugre provides energy, fat burning and appetite suppression that benefit weight loss. Cha de Bugre also has additional uses that are known in Brazil that include being used as a mild diuretic, a cellulite reducer, aides in reducing herpes simplex outbreaks and a heart tonic. You can find more about it at http://hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/cha_de_bugre.html Hoodia Gordonii is a natural appetite suppressant derived from a South African cactus that the bushmen have eaten there for thousands of years. You need to make sure you get a strong pure hoodia that is certified to be genuine. Check out Totalink's unbiased Hoodia comparison at http://hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/hoodia_comparison.html in the "Confidence" column it will indicate if the brand is "Certified". These Hoodia brands have the credentials to back up their product. Also in that column it will indicate if the brand is "Returnable". These Hoodia brands allow you to return opened bottles and get your money back. I think this indicates that a company has confidence in their product that it works. Keep in mind that Hoodia Gordonii alone provides appetite suppression but not fat burning. Cha de Bugre is a fat burner but not as good as hoodia with appetite suppression. There are also brands that mix Cha de Bugre with Hoodia Gordonii and other weight loss herbs like Green Tea that can increase both fat burning and appetite suppression. I have written a lot of articles on Hoodia. Just search Yahoo or Google under my name “Andrew Aitaken” to find them. Also some of the best tips on buying Hoodia I have found are in Totalink’s Hoodia Buyers Guide at http://hoodiagordonii.totalink.com/buy_hoodia.html Remember, you should always consult your physician before taking any diet pill or weight loss supplement.

Q: Sibutramine HCl interactions...HELP!!!?
im on a low fat diet, and my doctor prescribed me Slimax (Sibutramine HCl) and Chromax (Garcinia cambogia fruit extract + Chromium). i don't know if there is some sort of interaction between these 2. it's my first time to use diet pills so im REALLY worried!! :( ive been trying to lose weight like forever and this is my last hope! HELP!! should i be worried???

A: Meridia (sibutramine HCl monohydrate) is an oral medication indicated for the treatment of obesity. Serotonin is a chemical released in the brain after you have eaten a meal, which makes you feel full. Side effects associated with Meridia include headache, dry mouth, constipation, insomnia, increased sweating, an increase in blood pressure, and an increase in heart rate. Meridia substantially increases blood pressure and heart rate in some patients and should not be given to patients with uncontrolled or poorly controlled hypertension, history of heart disease, stroke, severe liver or kidney disease, pregnant women or nursing mothers. Important safety information about certain types of selective serotonin/norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitors (SNRIs), such as Meridia, has been posted due to the risk of heart failure, high blood pressure, blood clots, seizures, and neurological disorders associated with usage. If you have taken Meridia and experienced any unusual side effects, you should notify your physician at once. The chromium will give you rapid heart beat too. I would drop the chromium, then see how you feel. Any diet pill makes a person have strange feelings and side effects.

Q: Can I drink this?
It's Healthy Infusion's FUZE, Strawberry Melon flavored. It has: L-Carnitine - 20mg Super Citrimax (whatever the hell that is) - 200mg Chromium - 15% Vitamin C - 100% Calories: 10 Total Fat: 0 Saturated/Trans fat: 0 Sodium: 5mg Total Carbohydrate: 2mg Sugars: 1g Protein: 0g No preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors. Ingredients are: Filtered Water, Apple Juice concentrate, Malic Acid, Garcinia Cambogia Rind Extract, Strawberry & Melon juice, Absorbic Acid, Acesulfame Potassium, L-Carnitine, Vegetable Juice Extract, Sucralose, Chromium Polynicotinate Does it sound okay to drink?? Also, the drink series is called "Slenderize." I'm not trying to lose weight, it's just the one that my hubby picked up. I'm 12 weeks pregnant.

A: *****************NO NO NO NO NO.********* L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid which helps in the metabolism of fat, it is also available in red meat, diary products, avocado, etc. It is considered necessary in maintaining good health as it helps with muscle contractions and your heart. HOWEVER!!!! Super CitriMax® inhibit the conversion of carbohydrates into fat and promote an increase in the formation of stored energy as glycogen. This also signals the brain to turn off hunger signals. CitriMax® and new patented, higher potency Super CitriMax® work by inhibiting the enzymes that convert carbohydrates into fat. If not utilized for energy, carbohydrates are converted into fat and stored in the body. No good for pregnant women. To everyone out there, please stop answering these questions if your not sure of the answers. This drink is actually potentially harmful to pregnant women if consumed excessively. If you have already had some of these "energy" "weight loss" drinks your ok, just stop drinking them. General rule of thumb, "when in doubt, throw it out" especially when it concerns your unborn child. You want some yummy safe flavor? Put fresh CLEAN fruit in a glass of cold filtered or bottled H20 and call it a day. For the record, if you had washed, sliced, and squeezed a fresh lemon or lime in a cold glass of water you would have had the entire glass in your tummy and the baby's tummy before you were finished typing your question. If you can't pronounce the chemicals in a drink, don't bother. Good luck with the baby! I just had my second 15 days ago!

One of the major brands of acai suppleiments is acai berry supreme. Lately, many talk show hosts have done profiles on the health benefits of acai. http://www.americaschoicetoday.com/Acai-Berry.html

Q: Does anyone want to know how to lose weight FAST?
I just had two babies in 07. One of them recently on Dec 26th 07, and the other Feb 5th 07. I have been taking Tonalin CLA, Orovo extreme, Relora, and Cambogia Garcinia. These are all natural ingrediants, and I have been feeling great. I also drink one gallon of water a day, and eat 1500 calories. I only intake up to 10 grams of fat a day as well. I weighed 218 right before delivery, and then 190 at my check up. I now weigh 178 since I have been taking these pills. I don't exercise for shit because I have my hands tied with a one year old, and a 2 month old. So I've lost 12 pounds in 10 days. Since I am not exercising I make sure not to eat more than 1500 cal. I'd rather be lazy and eat less for now than exersise and eat good. I used to only eat 1000 calories after I had my 1st child and drink a gallon of water a day. I lost 50 pounds in three months I only walked 40 minutes @ 4 times a week. Of course I had to stop because I found out I was preggo again.

A: Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the daily calorie needs calculator http://calorieneedscalculator.com This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both. Beginner's Guide to Dieting - http://straightdiet.com if you have time also read this aah...just forget about what all say...like " go on diet...." "eat less food" bla bla bla!!! just try out the world's best solution that is Eat more,lose more!!! haha i am not joking..try this out!! 9 WAYS TO REDUCE WEIGHT WITHOUT EATING LESS ( ! ) Don't starve yourself. Lowering your calorie intake will make your body reduce the rate at which it changes calories into energy. In other words, reducing calorie intake slows down your metabolism and holds onto your fat. Starving yourself will actually make it harder for you to lose weight. Food is fuel or energy and when you skip meals, you are not working on energy hat can be burned off. As a defense mechanism, your body clings to calories and slows down your weight loss. (2) Get a breakfast boost. Connie Dickman, a registered dietician and nutritionist advises not to skip breakfast. According to her, breakfast gives you energy so that you are not starving as the day go on. When you skip breakfast, you become so hungry that you eat more than you should or eat the wrong foods. (3) Eat complex carbohydrates. Practice eating complex carbohydrates rather than simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are found in food such as candy, cereal, softdrinks and ice cream. They are easily absorbed by the body and they stick to the ribs, according to weight loss specialist Dr. Daisy Merey. Simple carbohydrates have a tendency to make you store more fat. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates which are found in pastas, potatoes, beans, whole grains, vegetables and fruits contain "good" calories that are easily burned.. In switching from a meat-based diet to the one tat is starch-based, you get the same amount of food with only 25% of the calories, says John McDougall, M.D., Director of the McDougall Program at St. Helena Hospital. Eat more fruits and vegetables, which are high in complex carbohydrates. You will eat more, but you will lose more, because the feeling of fullness will hinder you from eating high-fat foods that make you gain weight. (4) Eat Fiber. Kristine Clark, the Director of Sports Nutrition at Penn State University says that eating high-fiber foods can help people keep their weight under control. Because foods hat are rich in fiber help people to slow down their eating and foods that are high in fiber contain less fat and sugar. According to Nutrition experts, one should eat 20 to 35 grams of dietary fiber a day. There are two kinds of fiber in foods. The soluble and the insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers are those that dissolve and thicken in water. Foods that contain soluble fibers include broccoli, zucchini, barley, oat bran, beans and citrus fruits. Insoluble fibers include skins of fruits and vegetables and the external coatings of wheat kernel. Fiber is an essential ingredient in one's diet because the insoluble form prevents constipation. Studies revealed that the soluble fibers play an important role in reducing cholesterol. (5) Drink water. Water helps the body break down fat and process waste according to Dr. Denise Bruner, a Virginia bariatrician, describing how water as part of her diet, helped her to shed 62 pounds. One should drink eight eight-ounce glasses of water a day. (6) Exercise and be active in household work. T o exercise is one of the best ways to maintain your weight down. Exercise helps you to burn calories. According to Franca Alphin, Nutrition Director at Duke University Diet and Fitness Center in North Carolina, "You can lose weight without exercising, but you won't maintain the weight loss." Exercise may not be a major player in weight loss, but it is the number one player in preventing weight gain," says Jack H. Gilmore, Ph. D. Inactivity burns fewer calories each day, which are stored as fat. Daniel Kosich, Ph. D., the author of Get Real: A Personal Guide to Real-Life Weight Management and an advisor to Jane Fonda Workouts, says regular activity is a critical part of successful weight loss. It doesn't have to be a strenuous workout. You can burn calories just by doing ordinary chores such as gardening and housework. "Pushing a mop or vacuum across the floor increases your heart rate and creates resistance ," says Barbara Baldwin, Information Services Director for the American Running and Fitness Association in Maryland. "Raking leaves, stroveling snow, sanding, painting and waxing the car are calorie burners." According to Laura Gladwin, California-based exercise physiologist, gardening is a great exercise because weeding, pruning and planting require bending and stretching. "You will burn 1,000 calories by doing three-and-a-half hours of garden or yard work in a week," she says. Ellen F., a crafter in Coral Springs, Fl, found out that dieting wasn't enough to help her shed 20 pounds of excess weight.. She joined a low-impact aerobics class at her community center. By doing aerobics excercises for an hour, three times a week, she lost 20 pounds much quicker than simply dieting. Walking is one of the healthiest, easiest and cheapest form of exercise. Stroll briskly through a park or around your neighborhood. Walking will be more pleasurable if you do it with a friend.. Suzanne Rossa, an exercise physiologist at Good Samaritan Health and Wellness Center in West Palm Beach Florida says, "Aerobics excercises improves your circulation , increases blood flow,allow you to have a better blood pressure and decreases the amount of fatty substances in your bloodstream." (7) Build muscle. Tufts University studies revealed that strength training - the kind that builds muscle will raise your metabolic rate, which enable you to burn calories. Strength training does not always follow that your muscles will grow bigger but they will certainly grow stronger. Daniel Kosich in his book, A Personal Guide to Real Life Weight Management says, "when you make muscles stronger, they burn more calories. That means that for each pound of muscle you build with strength excercises, you burn 20 to 30 calories a day from your resting energy output or about 7,300 calories a year. You can strength train by using machines and free weights such as barbells. (8) Follow the Pyramid. The American Diatetic Association recommends a food guide pyramid that serves as a general list of healthful foods that must be eaten daily. The pyramid has four levels. The top of the pyramid is the smallest part , represents fats, oils and sweets. This group includes salad dressings, butter, ice cream, softdrinks, candies and desserts and foods that has very little nutritional value and can make your calories add up to. At level two of the pyramid are the milk, yogurt, cheese group, meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nuts. These foods provide you with protein, calcium, iron and zinc.. ADA recommends two to three servings daily of this group. The third level represents the vegetable and fruit groups, which are good sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber. ADA recommends three to five servings daily of this group. At the base of the pyramid are the bread, cereal, rice and pasta. ADA recommends 6 to 11 servings of this group. These foods are source of fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals (9) Stop taking the following food. ALCOHOL : a 12-ounce can or bottle of beer contains 150 calories. An Alcoholic beverage can add 100 to 200 calories to your meal. Alcohol is stored in the liver as fat. COCONUT : An ounce of raw coconut contains 100 calories, around 77% Of which is saturated fat. CHOCOLATE, CANDY, COOKIES : They are full of simple carbohydrates, which means they are High in sugar and fats. The main fat in chocolate is cocoa butter which is approximately 60% saturated fat. WHOLE MILK : SWITCH TO SKIM MILK Whole milk has high content of fat. SUGAR : Softdrinks has very high sugar content. MARGARINES : Contain hydrogenated vegetable oils.
