For the Girls Only!

Are you talking about Alli? If so, make sure you eat a low fat diet. I know people who have used it for long periods of time. If they eat too much fat in their diet, they poop in their pants because they couldn't get to the bathroom in time. It was designed for people to lose weight faster, but it is definitely for serious people. If you eat in a low fat way, you will almost certainly lose that amount of weight in that amount of time. Probably more. Just make sure to take a vitamin, and it is better if you take the vitamon at night. I did take Alli once for about two months. The pharmacist said it's best to take the vitamin at night because it gives your body all night to absorb the vitamins your body may have lost during the day with the effects of Alli. It's safe to use. Even if you're not talking about Alli, the product you are referring to is probably a lot like it.

I have never even heard of it...but I know about how much you want to lose the weight! I lost 17 pounds before vacation...and gained 14 back! I am so mad at myself. I went to Walmart the other day and found Crystal Light packets that you put in a bottle of water...its supposed to have metabolism plus in it. I drank one and got the shakes! There was so much caffiene in it that my heart raced.....so be very careful what you try!

I don't know and am would take caution when using diet aids. Though you may not loss as much, besides a good exercise routine, I take 4a tablesppon of vinegar and a tablespoon of honey and mix it in a cup of hot water. Taken 1/2 hour before breakfast and before bed each evening, it seems to help with some of my extra fat. I got this from a myspace friend living in India who has a lot of natural beauty tips and this is one I like.

Hi Cynthiann,

You have asked good discussion and will discuss in details.

Chitosan is one of the herbal supplements products which is
available in the pharmacy for the purpose to reduce the body
weight or to remove the excess amount of cholesterol from the
body as well as from the foods. YES that is true this Chitosan
is very effective and will not produced any side effects.

The excess amount of fats or cholesterol will be excreted through
Urine without effecting any biological activity of the body.
Normally the recommended dosages are two capsules in the morning
two capsules in the evening before the foods or meals.

There is one more products is also available in the pharmacy is
called " XENICAL " which is totally herbal products and also very
much effective for the weight loss. This Xenical also will excreate
all the cholesterol through the urine from the body.

Try this two products you may feels more happy to control your
body weight as you liked.

Have a great day.

Best of luck.

I have gone through the same things with the weight loss dietary suppliments and drugs. They do not work on me at all. I did find one thing that worked for me however it really depends on how much weight you want to lose. At the time I weighed 205 pounds and I did this eat right diet for a month. I have to say that the first week I lost 11 pounds, the second I lost 13 and the third and fourth weeks I lost 10 each. Yes, that is 44 pounds in a month.

I have to warn you though that this was a doctor telling me what to eat, not some commercial on tv. I was serious and wanted a major change. It is not healthy to lose so much weight in such a short period of time, but I chose to do this anyway and I am fine (never had any issues). You should by all means, ask your doctor before doing this, because everyone's body is different!

Breakfast
2 eggs
1/2 cup of oat meal

Snack
a banana or apple

Lunch
a salad with grilled or baked chicken

Snack
Fruit or uncooked veggies(small portions)
maybe carrot sticks or celery stick with 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter

Dinner
ABSOLUTELY NO STARCHY FOODS!!!
You can eat meat that is stove cooked or oven cooked without butter or oil
veggies cooked but not overcooked
and/or a salad

NO MEALS OR SNACKS AFTER 7PM!!!
1. Drink pure white grapefruit juice with breakfast and lunch
2. Drink water with every other snack or meal
3. Walk at least 1 to 3 miles per week but not all at once.
4. If you still feel hungry or get hungry too early drink a glass of water. This will curb your appetite until the next meal.
5. If you have to eat something, eat fruit or veggies.

Follow the diet every day for 7 days.
On the 8th day you can have a splurge moment of one of your favorite foods or cravings. Or you can continue to follow the eating plan.
Start the diet over on day 9.
Follow again for 6 days.
Take a 2 day break.
Continue for 5 days.
Take a 3 day break.
Continue for 4 days.
Take a 4 day break.
Repeat until you are at one day. Stop and decide as to whether you want to continue. If you have met your goal weight stop, if not you can keep going.

What you are doing in eating so many days on the diet and then taking a break, is you are training your body to speed up your metabolism. Once you can kick start your metabolism you can see that the weight will drop pretty fast. This happens with NO DRUGS and NO SUPPLIMENTS! Just you, the food, and your will to keep doing something great for your body.

Weigh yourself the first day, then on the 7th day (in the mornings only) and then every week, once a week. Say you start the diet on Monday, you would weigh yourself that day and every Monday throughout the diet. Weight is more accurate in the nude, so find a private place for this such as the bathroom or bedroom.

Measure you tricepts, thighs, waste, hips, and chest on the first day. Measure all every week like you do when you are weighing yourself.

I hope that this helps in some way!

I haven't tried it myself, but I did a little Googling and there doesn't seem to be any scientific backing to the claim that Chitosan is a "fat magnet".

Cyn,

The safeness of the product depends on you and your health. In my opinion I would speak to your pharmacist and ask him or her to look at your profile of medications and then get their opinion if it is safe for you. For people that are healthy and don't take medications, it's probably safe. You just need to be near a bathroom because it cleans you out. I asked my pharmacist and he said no. It's not so much that it interacts with your medication but it flushes it out of your system. You can even call the pharmacist on the phone. Good luck sweetie. Hugssss

You have to eat a healthy diet, it is just a fat binding formula. I actually have a product like that for cheaper than the alli, completely natural and scientifically proven.

If you go on my profile there is a link to my website and the product is called chitolite.

You can not be allergic to shellfish as chitosan is derived from a shellfish source.

No, I have not used these products, If u do not want to pay for the doctor you can very well enquire for details at the pharmacy itself which sells this stuff. They may be able to give an idea. But confirm if it really works.

I don't have any idea about this ingredient but i've been using one weight lose supplement very recently.It's called HOODIA.If you want to know about the product just google search with the name "HOODIA",you'll get to know about it's origin.Also if you are really serious about loosing weight you can also try Herbalife,it's a very good food supplement and you can reduce upto 5 - 7 kgs a month.Hope this information will help you!
