I'm about 25 pounds over weight. I've been working out and going to the gym for the last 4 months but I feel like I need some extra help.
I see commercials on TV ALL THE TIME for diet aids and I'm sure that most of them don't work very well. I don't know who to believe or what to trust, everyone is like buy this supplement, no, but THIS supplement.
I went to a GNC store but the guy there was an obvious salesman and I don't think he knew what he was talking about, he was just trying to make a sale.
I heard about this drug called Fastin that used to be prescription ( http://suppz.com/cheap-fastin.html ) but now is OTC, has anyone used it? Does it work well?
Any advice? Anything to try? Anything to avoid?
Thanks!

hi dear you know in the last summer i also had the same problem and even i asked many people about this and tried many pills and drank many powder but nothing happened so i got frustrated and decided to do it my own , i changed my routine and started eating fresh vegetable and did yoga for 1 hour in the morning and the result was in front of me within a month so don't go with pill things , just do yoga and notice the change in your life , trust me it will help you a lot to do work.

I had the same problem all my single life but only became committed to losing weight after I gave birth to my first child. I pictured how my body SHOULD look like and from then on I would stick to my schedule of stretching everyday for 15 minutes, briskwalking and jogging for 30 minutes 2x a week. It was light, yes, but effective (and didn't cost me gym fees!). Eventually I also did work-outs at home (I'm a full-time mom) during the days when I'm not out running. Surprisingly, my body seemed to have less cravings and learned to eat slowly, in less quantity. I honestly forgot how many weeks it took me to get my desired weight because I enjoyed the activities so much! For the first time in my life I developed muscles on my arms and my thighs were trimmed of fat. I guess what I'm trying to say is, search for an activity that you think you will enjoy (to me I discovered it to be running), research on that and get expert advise from reputable web sites and credible magazines, start with doable goals and keep at it. If you are active but can't cut your cravings for food, an organic food supplement I can recommend is the Carb Blocker and Chrompic Extra from Nutrilite. Contact your Amway distributor for the price and delivery. It has 90-day money back guarantee just like most of their products. Good luck!

please stay away from all diet pills. they are dangerous. you don't know what they will do to you. if you want to lose some weight talk with your dr about it.

I'm with your first responder. Don't take any pill! They simply don't work and our bodies are not designed to process all of the garbage that they put into them! I went through a phase when I tried all the "hottest" things on the market in a desperate attempt to lose weight. For the life of me, I can't think of a single name at the moment but they were all available over-the-counter. One of them actually caused me to have a nosebleed! Until that point, I had never had one before. Lots of them made me irritable and gave me problems going to the bathroom. I tried "super dieter's tea" from GNC once....I couldn't get OUT of the bathroom! It's just not worth it, in my opinion. I've had much more success by cutting out sugars, carbs and fats. I steam or bake most of my meats and try to eat vegetables raw. I lost 5 lbs just by cutting out sodas! It's the little things, you know? I probably lose about 3 or 4 lbs a month and that is a healthy weight loss rate. I walk about 30mins a day as well. Don't waste your time and money. Talk to a nutritionist, talk to a trainer at your gym. Your health is much too important to risk by using weigh loss aids. You can do it!
