Weight loss tablets
There are lots of high street tablets that help speed up weight loss (when combined with a healthy diet and excercise). Has anyone tried any of them? And what do they reccomend? (and how much does it cost and where can you buy it.) Please post asap!
Many different types. I would recommened that you go to your GP. If he/she doesn't prescibe them probably best to avoid them as they have an inherant risk.
One type I know of - actually i know of only two but my understanding is the 2nd one is still in trials and is unlikely to get NICE approval - contains a mild anti-deprresant making the customer less likely to binge on the feel good foods.

have a look @ closer magazine - the issue b4 this latest one (jade goody on front cover). there's an article in there on this very issue. i'm trying zotrim tablets (frm boots) @ the mo (ÂŁ21.95) as 1 of the ladies in the article tried it and she actually lost 8lbs. probably won't wrk 4 me knowing my luck but here goes...
Only problem is, it's quite dangerous to lose a lot of weight in a short space of time.
Exercising and altering your calorific intake is by far the easiest and safest method of losing weight. You can safely and healthily lose 1lb a week simply by cutting 500cals from your daily calorific intake (the amount of calories in most people's daily snacks). Weight loss is a gradual process. Losing large amounts of weight quickly is unhealthy and can seriously screw you up (think liver damage, kidney damage, hormonal imbalances, death, etc).
Most of the drugs that are prescribed/sold in shops either suppress your appetite so you eat less, reducing calorific intake (they require will power though and a balanced diet) or increase your metabolism so that you burn more calories daily (again they require will power).
The fact of the matter is, if you eat too many calories and don't do sufficient exercise, you will put on weight and any of these hairy fairy drugs can't stop that. You could be taking fat metabolisers but if you're still consuming too many calories, you still won't lose weight.
If the tablets are that good, surely everbody seeking to lose weight would be using them and there would be no need to alter the amount of exercise you do and your calorific intake. Plus, as said earlier, some aren't very good for you. Some have killed people (hydrogen pump decoupler's, now illegal). Some fat metabolisers have caused people to overheat, collapse, die, etc.
Again, it all depends on whether she was dieting/exercising at the same time as taking the pills. Plus, it all depends on the duration. I could lose 8lb in 8 months easily, but it would certainly be more difficult and dangerous for me to lose 8lb in say a week.
Girls, boys, do yourselves a favour, lose weight the old fashioned, healthy and safe way. Cut your calorific intake and/or do more fat burning exercise gradually. Simple lifestyle changes like not eating pudding after every meal and walking to work may take longer, but you will be more likely to lose weight and stick with it. Loads of people take these drugs and/or do extreme diets, sure, they lose weight, but when they revert back to their normal lifestyle they pile the weight back on.
