Are there any good over the counter diet pills on the market than
anyone has had success with using? Looking to lose about 15 pounds
and have been exercising but the weight will not come off. I would
want something preferably without stimulants. Thank you. Margaret

Hey Margret, how are you doing? Everyone knows that the
overwhelming cause of gaining weight is obvious -eating more than you
need. Therefore, the cause of loosing weight should be eating only
what you need. The problem with over eating is not that you are
eating too much, you are not eating enough nutrients. 1-5 pounds are
nornal. You can eat five pounds on you easily, during the Thanksgiving
holiday. Do the math. The ideal daily intake of food is nine
calories per pound of ideal body weight. If I had known your height, I
have a Table Standard Table Of Desired Weights For Men and Women.
Could have given you your ideal body weight, according to your sized
body frame. Loosing a bad eating habit, is far more rewarding than
just loosing a few pounds. Nonetheless, if you really, really
believe that you need to take an OTC pill, then invest in you some
vitamins. You see, it takes a whole lot of food to supply you with the
nutrients that you need. And anytime you find yourself not eating
enough, you become starved of nutriations. Nutrients that your body
desperately needs. Which could in turn, be the basis of every disease.
Good luck! Byron bkdaniels@everchangingmedicine.com

No. None that won't harm your liver, heart or kidneys in the long run.
Keep up on your exercise. Switch your exercise routines so that you
aren't repeating the same moves so that other parts of your body and
be stimulated as well. Eat smaller portions. Walk, walk, walk - it's
the best thing you can do for every organ, muscle and artery in your
body! Stay away from the pills.

Hello Margret, Everyone knows vital good health DOES NOT come from
the insides of bottles... we all know that already, we've all tried
that route. They (the compamies and corporations have sold us the myth
of sick care... feel sick, take a pill... but in fact, what we all
need is health-care.... how to stay healthy and how to throw away
their bottles of pills. That is what we all need... we all would be
better off. I have found that the HPS-ONLINE.COM website addresses
this subject better than any other website. They seem to have
their heads screwed on when it comes to weight loss... check them out.

Guest, I checked out this site like you suggested and it seems to
focus on the theory that "colon cleansing" is an important role in
maintaining good health and is a key in enabling weight loss. Also, I
see that they want to charge a person $699.00 for the kit and
directions - wow, what a fee considering water is free. (My opinion
only - no offense meant). If this is something that you invest in
and it works for you that is great. However, working directly in the
surgical/cancer field, I myself am not a believer in these kinds of
products. The colon does not need "cleansing." Our bodies naturally
detoxify every day. Detoxification is a normal body process of
eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys,
lungs, lymph glands, and skin. Just as our hearts beat nonstop and our
lungs breathe continuously, so our metabolic processes continuously
dispose of accumulated toxic matter. Even if it did, there is no
proof that these product would actually cleanse it. Your best bet is
to eat a diet that is high in fiber and drink a lot of water to
maintain regularity and achieve good colon health. Juice fasts are
not a great way to lose weight, because you'll gain it all back -- you
yo-yo. The weight you lose is water weight. Eating less and
exercising -- that's definitely known to work for most people. Eating
the right foods, getting exercise, clean living, keeping a positive
mental attitude -- that's what is healthiest.

The researchers have been working towards this crucial aspect coming up with several weight loss drugs such as Sibutramine, orlistat, phentermine and more. Analyzing these 'eating urges', the focus stabilizes itself upon the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is the administrative part of the brain which regulates the appetite along with other visceral urges. Ever pondered upon the feeling of pleasure and emotional reward when you eat - it all exists up in the mind lobby.

Hence, the researchers devote their undivided attention towards fat control in the digestive tract or the belly. The studies have come up with the following potential approaches to suppress appetite and promote weight loss:

Strategy No. 1: Stimulate brain pathways that decrease appetite.

Strategy No. 2: Inhibit brain pathways that make people feel hungry.

Strategy No. 3: Forget the brain. Prevent the body from digesting fat.

Strategy No. 4: Target fat cells directly.
