Anyone used these to lose weight?

haha... yes and yes.

Results? nope and nope.

I think these companies pray on the desperation of the overweight or even unhappy about their weight' individuals.
Most the time, they are expensive with little or no results.
and if they do work for a short while, you have to commit to buying it all the time as the miute you stop the risk of piling the weight lost, on again, is HUGE.

Dietician said to me.. the ONLY PERMANENT WEIGHT LOSS IS AT A RATE OF 1-2lb PER WEEK.
Any more.. and you will probably see it again one day.
Apparently the stores in your body that hold the fat cells need time to decrease in size when emptied. And losing weight fast only creates cavities in the fat cells so the second you eat anything with a bit of fat in it goes straight to be stored in the void.

Losing 1lb-2lb a week greatly reduces the risk of you storing any further eaten fats/sugars because it isnt as easy to store if the gap has gone. And your body processes it before you have the chance to make more storage room.

I thought that was a great way of explaining it. LOL

Ah well, I've just bought a display deal for the salon!

I suppose companies prey on the fact that so many people are unhappily obese they will pay for anything that tells them they can still eat all the crap they want if they just pop a pill

If they don't take off, can always sell them on Ebay.

Apparently Harrods stock them, Boots in Ireland and Selfridges.

There are little trial size bottles for 4.99 - enough for 3 days, and apparently they do make you lose weight in 3 days and people come back and buy more.

Yeas they do work!

The thing is they are a herbal suppliment that makes you feel fuller tahn you are so that you dont eat as much!

Obviously with any sort of weight loss it shouldbe done correctly, proper excersise and diet not stuffing yourself with mars bars and pizza and then popping pills, they are not teh answer just a little helping hand which alot of people need no matter how much they need to loose.

I wouldnt say a trial size though works as it isnt really long enough in your system.........believe me i have tried them all

Amanda

well if you have a stand I hope you do well with it.

Youre right though, nothing will work if you work against it. xx

Oh great, that's a bonus then if they work

.I got a multipack of trial size, 1 week, 4 week and 7 week courses... plus nighttime ones too ... there's a lot to be made for a salon.. as I buy them in half price.

If you don't mind me asking, what make are they?
xxxx

Can I butt in?

I really hate products like this, that prey on people who are unhappy and offer them a miracle cure.

The only guaranteed method of to loose weight is very simple. BURN MORE CALORIES THAN YOU EAT! or put another way. EAT LESS, EXERCISE MORE.

Its harsh, but at least its fair and can be done for free.

(Obviously doesn't apply if you have some kind of medical condition for being overweight).

Do you hate Macdonalds... Wimpys.. and all the other restaurants helping to make this population overweight?

... they are herbal supplements claiming to suppress your appetite. What's so wrong with that?

It could be worse - I could be selling speed, which alot of overweight people take because they are unhappy as you say.

It is better for people to be taking relatively cheap herbal tablets, that give you energy and if nothing else... may have a placebo affect.. than people carving off pounds of flesh under a surgeons knife, or worse still... becoming so obese that they end up with an eating disorder.

Macdonalds and Wimpys don't make false claims that you're going to lose weight should you shovel down four big macs and a bucket of coke! In fact they do quite the opposite and inform consumers of the fat/calorie/sodium content now, don't they? I wouldn't know, I never go to these places.

What herbs are in these herbal tablets then?

MacDonalds and Wimpy sell things that more obese people prefer, shall we say.... politely... and yeah you're right they do inform you - well, that they don't put salt on your fries. I don't know whether they mention calories/sodium as I can't stand the place either.


Only overweight/obese people would buy slimming pills..

.. forget what's in them now, Ginseng is one thing if I recall.... great for energy

I feel it is a personal opinion whether you take slimming tablets, and good on you CadenceAlex for offering them, your not forcing them on the public, slimply just offering them!!!
Good luck with it!!!

Hi I can tell you a couple that work:
- ephedrine (you can not buy ths legally but you can buy it in herbal form legally called Ma Huang, this is a nervous system stimulanty.
It's best run along side a caffine tablet.

- hoodia is an appitite supressive

- in my salon we sell trimmers because that's what people buy, they say they work.

Trimmers do work,I have a friend who takes these and she has found them excellent,but.....I think in all honesty they are only a QUICK fix.Nothing else.

Lets face it you cant take them forever,they dont re - educate us on food intake etc.

I think short term they are brill.But if there really are food issues then it's important to get specialist help.

I would sell them,I think people have their own minds and if they want them so be it.If you dont sell them someone else will.
