  1. 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.

  2. What's a stone? Try chromium + caffeine.

    low-carb diet that even remotely suggests "only eating
    Protein and trying not to eat Carbs". And get off the
    frikkin' ephedrine before you do yourself some serious
    damage.

    The safest way to lose weight relatively quickly is the
    Atkins induction phase. Read the damned book first. It'll
    take you all of a couple of hours to find out what the
    atkins diet is really about. The weight will come off in
    time and you will feel a whole lot better in the end.

  4. The drug in the tablets has been banned for that purpose in
    the US because of the deaths and other injuries it has
    caused. Your use of "stone" suggestes you live in Britan or
    a country which also uses it's traditional measures of
    weight. In US units of lbs that is about 45. Losing more
    then 1.5 lbs per week doesn't work in the long run and
    people almost without exception regain the original and
    usually more when non dieting meals are resumed. It really
    comes down to your embarassment thinking about your image at
    the wedding as balanced by the considerable health risks and
    almost certain failure at long term weight control a crash
    diet creates. If one eats about 500 calories less per
    day/week one will lose 1 lb, 0.07 stone, a month. A crash
    diet also tends to use muscle and organ tissue to make up
    for severe calorie restriction before it starts using fat
    energy stores.

  5. OK I will try reading the book. Might I suggest you try and
    not swear as much then?

  7. My apologies for the swearing.... but....

    Why on earth would someone go on any diet based on vague
    perceptions of what the diet is supposed to be? The atkins
    diet has been accused of being dangerous to ones health.
    Now I disagree completely and firmly believe that is is
    much safer and healthier than a high carb diet. But the
    media has repeated all the false dire warnings ad nauseum.
    I cannot understand how anyone would make a major shift in
    their diet without at least becoming somewhat educated
    about the diet and its possible effects. This is your
    health we are talking about.

    I find it absolutely frustrating to think how many people
    fail to do even a modicum of due dilligence and research
    into such a basic thing as diet. It's no wonder the US is in
    the health and weight condition that it is.
