Slimming Pills and Weight Loss

[Speed Demon 10]

hi forum members

 

i am a relatively fit and healthy 31 year old chap, who has a decent body but with some belly fat, which i want to lose, i want a totally flat 6 pack area so i can feel better about myself and hopefully be more attractive to the opposite sex

 

i have been going to the gym and trying to eat healthy and sensibly, but have heard there are weight loss pills out there and wonder what they do and how to get hold of them, are there other things available to aid in fat loss and to actually burn off the love handles

Don't touch them with a barge pole. You don't know what rubbish is in these medications.

Most of the weight loss pills which are available over the counter are based on old wives' tales and rumour when you try to find evidence that they actually work.

 

That leaves 2 groups of pills left- the pills which 'burn off' more calories and those which prevent you from absorbing fat.

 

The ones which speed up your metabolism meaning that you use more calories and suppress your appetite (and are prescription only, although strongly discouraged by many doctors) are usually amphetamine based and they come with a whole load of issues with regard to being addictive, causing mood and depression problems and the like, so since you have been open about your occasional struggle with depression I'd say that it would be a very dangerous path to consider taking these.

 

The final group are the pills which prevent you from absorbing fat in your diet- this group includes orlistat (brand name Xenical) and Alli, which are an over the counter version. The claims of these pills are much less outlandish than the ones which work on myth. The advertising for Alli claims that for every 2 pounds you lose normally, if you were to take Alli you could lose another 1 pound, making it clear that you still would have to eat a calorie restricted and low fat diet to see an improvement, which is the case with all of the pills in this category.

 

They also have side effects, like anal leakage if you eat food containing fat and a few other unpleasant things, but there are also people who have had good results with them.

First of all I'm worried about some of your comments which are that you can only get a woman by having a six pack or being attractive.

 

Do you think James Corden has a six pack or attractive? He's not doing too badly to say, is he?

 

Men tend to carry most their weight around the area you're worried about. I train 4, 5 and sometimes 6 nights a week, eat well and have a podge.

 

You can only attract a woman with who you are, not with what your body looks like. She'll get bored of your body, not your personality.

 

Those pills speed up your heart rate...Do you really wanna mess with your heart?

 

Train for fun my friend and change a little of your diet...If you're interested in burning fat and building muscle then maybe one of our circuit training sessions will help you?

 

Just remember that working out wont help you approve of what you have already.

I've been on xenical about 4 weeks now, i was eating more or less normally but not eating anything with fat in it, i didnt think they were doing owt, until last sunday.. i had 2 porkburgers and i had the runs for 4 days and the stink made me sick. the xenical tablets are twice as strong as Alli which can be bought at the chemist. just wish they could come up with an appetite suppressor as i just love food savoury or sweet and now i'm retired i cook and bake more

That's twaddle to be honest.

 

If I met someone who had the full cosmetic waxing thing done it would worry me a little why he felt he had to change himself so far away from his normal, natural self in order to be attractive.

 

To me, that level of waxing is inappropriate and slightly creepy on a woman too, but if that's what you want then of course nobody should tell you any different.

 

My OH is ridiculously hairy (body hair- unfortunately the follicles on the top of his head seem to have been affected by gravity and are now in his eyebrows and ears instead) and I regularly take the rise out of him for being an orang utan (it's a fetching shade of ginger) but I take him as a package deal of personality, hug, sense of humour, furry body, love, knackered knees, smokers' cough and smelly feet, and whether he was furry or not would not have made the slightest bit of difference whether I wanted to be with him, apart from making me distrust him a bit if I found he had a full body wax.

 

As Tipex says above, whether someone finds you attractive will have very little to do with whether you have body hair and if they use that as a reason not to be with you then they were not the sort of person that you really should have been with in the first place.

Some women are turned on by a chap with body hair!

(look at Robin Williams the actor! http://www.squarehippies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/robin_williams.jpg

well it is not just about feeling attractive to other people, it is about feeling cleaner, because having too much body hair makes you feel rather dirty, especially with bits falling out all over the place, it is like when blokes have a fresh clean wet shave, it makes you feel better

 

there is also the fact that if girls have had a leaner, more tidy man before then go on to me, it would surely be a big let down and rather shameful for them
