slimming for a hot summer abroad away from the cold scottish weather

I have only one week to loose those few love handles or at least part of them, I have tried various slimming pills and none worked for me. Now the real question is, Do pills really work? Are they just another attempt to get easy money from the ones that suffer from bikini and beach body cricis? and if they are a real scam..can you tell me what are the best ways of loosing good pounds in a few days away for my beach treat in southamerica????Hopefully this will also help other ppl, (I do already eat fruit and veg and I skip tastefull treats)hoping for good answers.x
