Weight loss supplements.

Hydroxycut and its Walgreens version, Hydroxyle$$ work... but be careful. Don't start with the recommended dosage. Start with maybe one cap half an hour before your workout, and then increment and see how your body handles it.

You will need to play with your diet as well, Kat. Hydroxycut will help you to a point, but you will have to play with the diet. Small portions 5-7 times a day, increasing the protein content as the day goes by; that should do the trick.

In the name of Baal, make sure the hydroxycut you buy is the new one (ephedra-free)... just in case some store still carries the older version that contained ephedra.

Your BMI is high enough that you should be able to get a prescription for phentermine (adipex, ionamin) from your physician without too much trouble. If not, then there are several online pharmacies with a supervising doc to write it.

It's rather inexpensive and somewhat more effective than OTC supplements. I do routinely encourage extreme caution with any drug regimen around here, and this is no exception. However, used responsibly, I've seen exceptional results with literally dozens of girls (including my ex-wife who was already rather lean). Do some homework and see what you think.

Also very effective, though less popular, is Xenical (orlistat). Unlike phentermine, which is a stimulant/appetite suppresant, Xenical blocks the absorption and digestion of fat in your intestines. By reducing your total fat intake, your total caloric intake goes down just as though you hadn't eaten it.

The obvious downside is that you DID eat it. So it comes out the other end. Greasy, runny stools made more than one 40 y-o woman call us and say "NO WAY" after the very first time. This doesn't affect all patients, and obviously diet is the key here as there is a lot more fat to drain out of a cheese burger than from a salad. Also, the problem may often be ameliorated with the consumption of fiber powder or wafers along with the Xenical caps.

Not only can Xenical lower your overall caloric intake without changing your diet, but it can offer a wider variety of protein sources to someone who is traditionally bound to "low-fat" choices.

Again, do some homework and see if you wanna try it. It's often even easier to get a Xenical prescription than one for phentermine, but if not, you can easily get one online as well (in fact, it is still moving ever closer to being released over the counter).

Hmmm, interesante. How could Xenical help in getting a wider variety of protein sources? Just curious.

As a former fat body, I tried several, but the only that worked but didn't make me feel like ass was Hot Rox by Biotest. It just made me feel all warm and happy with an accompanying acceleration in weight loss.

Edit: also Hot Rox belches taste like raspberry, which was weird but awesome.

Sorry, should have expanded a bit... I meant that rather than eating broiled chicken breast 6 times a day, you could eat a ribeye, or a porkchop, or a bucket of KFC and the additional fat would just trickle out of your pooper-chute, like it was a George Forman grill.

Hi:

In order to get completely rid of my "lovehandles" (ca. 1cm "wide"), I experimented with various "weight loss" supplements. One of them was Hydroxycut, another one Lipovarin.
Basically, I _think_ they do not work _as advertised_. The effect was that I felt hyper and sick the whole day, and I had trouble concentrating and sleeping (due to the high doses of caffeine -- which I am not used to, since I don't drink coffee or tea). This, of course, resulted in me eating less than usual (but I also had not much energy for working out as soon as the effect of the caffeine wore off). Hence I lost a couple of pounds during the weeks I was playing with these supplements. Overall, it was a pretty miserable time, but I lost a little bit of weight. From the supplements I sampled I disliked Lipovarin the least (least miserable) and Xenadrine EFX Ephedra Free the most (really feeling bad, increased heart rate, etc.), Hydroxycut was somewhere in the middle.
I also tried supplements containing Hoodia (is claimed to suppress "food cravings"). No conclusion on these yet (hard to distinguish placebo effect from real effect).

Hope this helps,

-Evil

Is it really so difficult to lose weight that you need prescription drugs? I know it's frustrating to plateau out in fat loss, but...

Seriously, how overweight are you?

[Epicurus]

wait wait wait... some people try to lose weight? What the ****?

[DAYoung]

Weird, I know.

I smell a conspiracy.

There's only one man who can bust this secretive organisation wide open; someone who's obviously free from the desire to shed kilos.

ALEX.

Wanna loose weight, clean up your diet and do a bit of running.
