I have been eating healthy and exercising for about 4 weeks,I have seen no results. What diet pills can help?
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
Hydroxy-cut
I wouldn't give up on the tried and true method of excercing/diet after only 4 weeks.
What are "no results"? Certainly you must feel better about yourself, maybe have lost 4 lbs, or maybe lost an inch somewhere?
If not perhaps it is your diet and excercise routine. We could help more if you shed light on this.
Basically you should be consuming fewer calories than you burn per day and make sure you are doing a cardio workout a few times per week.
no pill. knowledge and dedication will get you there. improve your diet and exercise routine.
you really don't have to take pills you can stay on a diet that i use and it has help me loss a lot of weight i went from 199 to 153
Talking about weight lose, starving, eating something healthy but don't taste good or taking weight lose pills that generally carry side effects are something many people can think of.
But really, what do you consider eating healthy? If you think eating salad is healthy but you add lots of salad dressing, is this healthy?
I would suggest you to check out the transition kit.

I would suggest these following supplements if you are a heavy carbohydrate/fast food eater.
