I dated a personal trainer over the summer he said that anything taken in moderation is ok, I went to GNC and got the generic brand and talked to the GNC people ( very very very helpful) and they gave me some green women's daily supplament to take, I took both up to 4 times a day and I lost weight, I need to go back and get more I am thinking of hydroxycut because is does something with your sugards , but I am a fan !!!

Between my friends and I, we have tried every diet under the sun.. recently, The Atkins (did lose weight, but the food just makes my stomach feel full of fat..) Negative calorie (easier to do in the summer, it's mostly fruits and veggies) Slimfast (actually gained weight!) Metabo-lite (contains ephedra, taking more does not make you lose more.. but remembering to take it at the right times was hard.. plus, made my chest feel funny...) and straight excersise. I have a friend who is doing the Low Carb/Atkins diet, and he has lost over 80 lbs.. but for his body type and eating habits, it works.
So far, the excersise works best. But I think it's just a matter of finding what's best for your body, and you won't know until you try.

I just found out that a 22 yr. old male classmate died last week from a heart attack! Guys, be careful when taking these drugs, to hear a few users around here you would think this stuff is candy.

I've used hydroxycuts in the past, personally i found it wasn't worth the price.

ANY of the "diet" drugs that contain "metabolic enhancers" or "thermogenic" ingredients can cause blood pressure/heart problems. Not only that but they don't work too well anyway.

Do it the healthy way.....which unfortunately means the slow way. If you eat right and exercise, you'll have plenty of energy.

ewww.
Reminds me of what a teacher told me a long time ago. That in some 3rd world country that they had no meds to get rid of tapeworms. The tapeworms weren't exactly well fed either (3rd world country) so they would place a sugar cube on the infected person's tongue and wait-- the worm comes out and makes a grab for the cube and from there they pull the darn thing out!

Thought I'd share lol.

ohh my gosh..just the visual image of a tapeworm creeping out of someone's mouth to fetch a sugar cube....blech!!!! :P

My grandma had one (tapeworm). My dad said she had to go to the doctor and take some medicine that forced her to throw it up. How gross!

Tapeworms, yuck!!!

As far as the whole dieting thing goes, I had been trying to lose a few lbs. myself and was getting very frustrated because no matter how hard I tried, or WHAT I tried, I couldn't get past a certain weight. A woman I work with was taking these herbal drops by this company called Dynamic Force, and she said that they worked great on her so I thought what the hell.

What they are are bottles of liquid herbs, in a starter kit you get 2 bottles of fat burner drops and one bottle of energy drops. You take 10 drops of the fat burner (you put it in Crystal light or juice or whatever) 3 times daily and the energy drops two times daily. You adjust the energy drops for your own body so you don't get jittery, it's nice.

The lady told me the stuff wouldn't work right away, but to stick with it and I'd see results. She was right! I've finally gotten past that stubborn weight and am on my way to my goal weight...5 lbs. to go! She even took it to her doctor to make sure it was safe, and now he sponsors it in his office! It's a bit pricey, but it truly is the only thing that has worked for me. It may work for some people, and it may not. I really think all of these products simply depend on the body type of the person.
