Ive used them and i still do occasionally, yes i found they worked as long as you had a solid training/fitness programme and also if the meals you were eating were healthy i.e salads etc.
The biggest problems i found with them was a) the taste became sickly after a while and struggled to drink them and b) being such a lover of foods, just didnt feel satisfied
Mate of mine swears by Duromine tablets His doctor prescribes it to him, but some doctors wont for whatever reasons
He says he loses weight very quickly Feels energetic He cant eat large meals as gets full very quickly
Others will say Duromine can be addictive and use with caution
Problem is when he comes off Duromine, he then puts the weight back on
I used a tablet given to me by a GP about 25 years ago Might have been Duromine ? Wow, couldnt get to sleep on the tablet, but it worked for weight loss It was like being on speed I recall coming of it after 2 weeks and had a 6 kilos lossage, I could not stay awake that day I was too sleepy

Diet change - as opposed to diet (which never works) - and regular exercise.
No other way...
In the last 2 years I've lost 55 kg's this way .... no sugar, walk 3-4 k per night and swim 400 - 500 metres 4 nights a week .. there is no quick fix unless you wanna go done the surgical path
RIP my DH 1964 - 2009 - You were one of the best and I miss you

Agreed. That's what I've done this year (though haven't done too much in the exercise department) and have been pleased with my results so far. I've avoided any fad diets/diet pills as they're always a temporary fix.
Also completely ignore The Biggest Loser as their method of weight loss is both unsustainable and dangerous.
They don't keep me here because I'm gorgeous and 5'10

While the makers claimed it wasn't addictive when it was first released many years ago it wasn't long before some people were taking them in large doses and getting similar reactions and withdrawal symptoms to those suffered by the users of amphetamines. It is not surprising as the molecular structure resembles fairly closely that of amphetamines and adrenaline.
Ive tried some of those weight loss pills i.e Lipo X6 and yeah they recommend you dont take a tablet something like 8 hours before bed, you dont sleep!
Some of those tablets increase blood pressure as well, and can become addictive and as i said mess with your sleep patterns. Most tablets will have a warning on them about only using in a cycle e.g. 8 weeks on, 8 weeks off.
They are only there to give you an energy boost and a kick start on your way. They are also appetite suppressents which can sometimes be a bad thing, if you dont feel hungry you dont eat obviously, you lose all the nutrients and protein you need thus lose strength and health, and can end up sick.
