Diet Pills?
Question:
I have a very low metabolism so it's very difficult for me to lose weight just by eating healthy and exercising.
I've read a lot of opinions saying that this stuff doesnt work but then again I heard that diet pills dont work on some people. The guy at the GNC took Hydroxycut Hardcore and did NO exercise whatsoever and lost 40 lbs in 3 weeks.
I'd just like to know some opinions and expiriences if you have taken this.
Answer:
I've never had much success at losing weight with the Hydroxy cut and other high caffeine supplements. Diet is the biggest factor, then exercise. To the person who said you cant lose 40lbs in 3 weeks, you are wrong. You can. When the atkins diet thing was huge, I tried that and lost over 20lbs in one week. So 40 is definately possible. You are right however in that it is totally not healthy. I do not recommend losing more than one pound a day. Keep in mind the guy at GNC is probably trying to sell his product, so of course he is going to say it works and works well. Changing lifestyle and eating the right things is the best and healthiest way to lose weight (although it is also the hardest way, I cant even follow this advice). You may want to try other diet pills if the caffeine is not working for you (like I said the caffeine pills never worked for me). There is a pill called Xenical which basically blocks up to 30% of the fat you intake, so if your diet is your problem this may be the way to go. There is also a new over the counter supplement that works the same way xenical does, but less effective so it is OTC. many gross and wierd side effects so be sure to read those well and make certain you are up to it. You may also want to increase your fiber intake significantly, try buying the psillium husk caplets at your gnc, this helps you maintain a strong and healthy digestive track which is important when trying wierd diets and such. Ultimately though, good diet and exercise are the way to go.
40 lbs in 3 weeks? That is impossible unless he had surgery! I think he was just trying to make the sale! now I might believe him if he said 40 lbs in 3 months. But if you lost that much weight that fast, if could be life threatening!
Hello. Diet Pills are not the answer. You need to exercise. Don't use the excuse that your metabolism is slow so you can't lose weight. I have hypothyroidism (which I just was caught with having..even though I have had it for a long time) and this means that my metabolism was not really working well antibodies have been killing my thyroid. Anways, I eat healthy and exercise and I have not problem with my weight at all. You just need to eat well and exercise.
Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.
Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.
U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.
Diet pill is not good for you. I think you should not never touch diet pill (+__+).
The guy at GNC is probably making a commission aka the more he sells the more he makes... so claiming something extreme like that was probably not fully true. All pills work differently for different people... so try it for a while and see how it goes for you. No pill is going to just melt the fat off your body, but it may curb your appetite or give you extra energy to work out. Try it out and see how it goes.
