Best diet pill on the market that won't give me a heart attack?
Question:
Answer:
DO NOT TAKE DIET PILLS! They are dangerous!!
Last year I was visiting my parents and took diet pills on top on my exercise routine and normal diet. I was 26 at the time, 5'11, 180 lbs. By week three I was sick. I had diarrhea, dry heaves, dizziness, headaches, and a general feeling of being sick. I thought I had caught the flu or something. I had lost 13 lbs in 4 days. One morning I told my mom I didn't feel good. My vision kept blacking out and I felt (for lack of a better way to say it) stoned. Later that afternoon I was walking from the bathroom to my bedroom (a 5 foot walk) and I passed out. I was rushed to the hospital emergency where they did a bunch of tests on me.
My pulse was up to 120, My blood pressure was 150/40, they had to start me on an IV, the did an EKG on me, took blood and urine samples, and a whole barrage of other tests.
They finally got me stabilized and said that I was dehydrated and malnutritioned. I told him that I took diet pills. When I mentioned diet pill, the doctors face lit up and said that's why. He said they can cause a whole bunch of health problems, including death. He told me to toss the diet pills or next time I might not be so lucky.
I was kept in the hospital for almost 10 hours, given 3 or 4 IVs, potassium, juices, and monitored (by the EKG, blood pressure, and heart rate machines) every 15 minutes.
Please take my story as a warning. If you seriously want to loose weight there are better ways (I know because I've lost weight after this)
The quickest way is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohol, and sodas.
Eat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.
In moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)
Practice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.
Eat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)
Go exercise for at least an hour - two a day, incorporating weight training along with your cardio. Cardio helps to melt the fat, while weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat, even when you are resting. You get the idea. It also gives tone and definition. Also do a few yoga and pilates exercises to help tone those hard to reach and stubborn areas.
I have been using the "ultra concentrated" HOODIA Spray. It is suppose to be more powerful than the pill-form. I must admit that I am on week three. Here's how it works, you start out by spraying twice, 3 times per day, as if it were a breath freshner mister, 15 minutes prior to eating Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. You will NOT eat, unless you force yourself to eat durring BREAKFAST, LUNCH and DINNER and you will NOT eat as much as your norm, because you are not really hungry. But.... when Night falls, unless you have major will power and discipline, you will make-up for those missed meals, and then some. I like this product because it does suppress your apetite, and it is all natural and it gives you ENERGY, what alot of those so-called DIET pills and celeb rated MULTI-Vitamins claim to have alot of, but does NOT! There are no KNOWN side effects thus far, Hoodia is still farely a few years new to us here in the states. I did not experience any side effects such as headache, sluggish bowel (ouch), nor acne break-outs. I have, well,I feel, that the spray has decreased in suppressing the Hunger feel, but, I am still spraying. I am THINKING of re-ordering the PILLS, such as Hoodobo, for faster results. I have heard overall good things about HOODOBA, but upon researching the product, it has it's share of negative reports as well, but I am a real person, whom has tried HOODIA and I have seen results with the spray, but just not fast enough for me. I am a Cross-Country Runner whom STOPPED running for 3 years, and it shows. I recently became Vegan, so I eat healthy, minus the monthly sweet cravings. Soo, I can't just say that this spray was the jumpstart I needed in losing inches, but it really did stop the hunger feeling durring the day. I hope this help you, because when researching on the net, it lists one product as the best, but then you also see numerous negative feedbacks about that product and two or more other Diet aides listed as the best. Very Confusing and time consuming. There are people posting whom has only tried a product for 9 days or less and complaining about how ineffective it is which is totaly unfair. Use your better judgement, and if you could, Stick to the oldfashion way, working out and eating better. Remember I said I am THINKING of re-ordering. o'h the Desert Burn is another High rated HOODIA product that you will see. In order to guarantee you are getting Pure Hoodia, because there are lots of fake ones out there., I listed some sites that should help. If you decide to go with either HOODIA product on the list, please come back and post your results, whether good or bad, so people like you and me can get some honest and helpful advise. Good Luck
