Hello,
I have started taking weight loss tablets that I got from
a bodybuilding shop, they have Ephedrine in them and they
suppress your appetite as well as burn fat. I have also
started an Atkins style diet where I am only eating
Protein and trying not to eat Carbs, but being a
vegetarian I find this difficult. I have upped my water
intake and in 2 weeks I have lost 1 stone. Does anyone
have any advice how else I can lose weight fast? I need to
be slim for a wedding and also I am very very depressed at
my weight, I just need to lose 3 stone and I will be very
very happy. Thanks for any advice.
This is not a healthy way to lose weight. You need to re-
educate your body and mind with new healthy eating habits, a
balanced diet and portion control. Losing weight too fast is
NOT attractive: you will be left with droopy saggy skin that
will take ages to shrink to the new smaller size.
You should aim for a loss of between one and two pounds per
week: you may lose more to start with and less later, but
this is how it should average out. If you join something
like Weight Watchers, they will teach you how to balance the
diet, make healthy choices, and help you stay with it.
You don't have to go to meetings with WW: there are also the
At Home plans and the On Line versions: for these you will
need some accurate bathroom scales.
Whatever you choose, we are here with advice (you may not
always like it, and you don't have to follow it! ;D ),
support, and encouragement. You have made a start, which is
good, but we would far rather see you following a healthy
plan that you can stick with for the rest of your life than
follow a mad yo-yo diet that makes you miserable. There will
be times when you gain a pound or two, and others when you
have a whoosh and 3 go at once! We'll be here to commiserate
with the one and celebrate the other, and help you
understand why each happens.
Good luck!
