Have you tried a natural method until now ?
@ab-solute: I think that any pill should be avoided. Try the natural way people.

hi guys,

how about goodliness capsules? here are the main components:

Lotus leaf, ginseng, mulberry, cassia seed and winter melon peel.

I have actually tried this before although I didn't take it religiously. But I did lose some weight, the effects of the pills on me was I sometimes felt thirsty so the tendency was to drink lots of water. It didn't made me lose my appetite, only suppressed it so I still ate normal meals. No rashes, LBM, palpitations, whatsoever...

Do you think this has bad effects on the kidneys?

YES. The problem with these pills is that they did not undergo tests for safety. So, it sounds like it is all natural, right?WRONG. Not everything that has leaves, flowers,herbs are actually good for you. Why? Because the real components of these leaves are UNKNOWN. Some diet pills contain thyroid hormones that have bad effects on the heart. Others have a laxative effect which is not good for the lining of your intestines. And still others produce kidney stones. Take your pick. There is no doubt that they do work. I have seen people lose weight with them. However, are the pounds shed worth your life? I draw the line.

ok thanks for the reply! I guess I'll just have to stick with minimizing carbo intake during dinner and substituting green tea and water for sodas and coffee

fat burners also called lipo tropics are supposed to help decrease the amount of fat stored in the liver, and if they work would cause more fat to leave the liver, and allow the liver to work better, as well as possible removing fat from the body through the use of calories, and an increase in internal organs caloric usage, as well as reduce the "fatty liver" problem that some have.

My opinion is this... if there was a weight loss pill on the market that REALLY worked and caused NO harmful side effects, there would not be so many over weight people out there. Ephedra worked.. and caused death, hence why it is no longer on the market. weight loss is simple eat right and exercise.. burn more than you take in.build lean muscle to increase your metabolism and help burn more calories.

I can vouch for reductil though only if monitored by a specialist ie doctor or those authorised to distribute the drug. You need to have your blood pressure monitored every two weeks I combined this with heathy eating & exercising & lost a lot of weight & quickly. The key is to exercise - no getting around it sorry guys. The weight stayed off even when I finished with the drug. If you dont like taking drugs then try something called Organic Vision Detox - the turbo one. Its a nine day detox using all natural products & the turbo version allows busy people to carry on with their lives as the side effects of the detox are reduced with the herbs they give you - no break outs, nausea, tiredness etc & I even exercised during it no problem. Im not sure if it available in the States but check out the website & find out: www.ov9day.com Though I still stress there is only one way to loose weight & keep it off all the above do is give you a head start & that is to change the way you eat & EXERCISE!
